Basins and Dishes

-00:00

During operations, doctors use lots of different basins or dishes – these are words that we often use in hospitals. The dishes are used for lots of different things. The scalpel and scissors are often placed in dishes so that the surgeon doesn’t get hurt while working. The dishes are often used to keep really clean water in too. This clean water is used to wash the wound during the operation.
