But, Why? Rethinking Habits, Rules, & Sacred Cows

Welcome to Season 14 of First Case! This season, we’re tackling the question: “But, why?” Why do we do the things we do in the OR? From practices we swear by to those that might need to be retired, nothing is off-limits as we explore the reasoning—or lack thereof—behind our routines.

In this season premier, Chris and Melanie dive into some of the most common OR habits, rules, and sacred cows, and unpack the “why” behind them. Chris shines a light on the frustrations caused by poor communication, touching on pref cards, supply handling, and the importance of sharing critical information to the entire team Meanwhile, Melanie challenges the long-standing bouffant and scrub cap debate, breaking down its origins, the changes over time, and whether this rule still holds up to current evidence.

Get ready for an engaging, thought-provoking episode that sets the tone for a season full of questioning, learning, and maybe even a little myth-busting. Tune in and let’s uncover the “why” together!
