BBASS demonstrates the process of hand washing, gowning and gloving. Again, attention is required to detail. It is not just about the technique and reason; as in martial arts, it is also mindset. We explain why your five-minute moment at the sink is a ritual that, when performed thoroughly and well, will prepare you for the operation; it will enable you to rehearse the operation, focus and find the right mindset.
