Photos Remind Staff How to Set the Table

Securing table attachments for different positions is no easy matter, especially if you haven't worked such a case for some time. To aid my staff, I've taken step-by-step photos of different table setups, such as beach chair, lateral shoulders and spine frame. I've stored the photos in a folder on our OR computers so staff can quickly refreshes their memories before setting up for the case.
