I was handing over a patient in recovery the other day when the PACU nurse interrupted me to say she liked what I\u2019d done with my makeup.<\/p>\n

I was taken aback, not just because it came out of nowhere and definitely wasn\u2019t on task, \u00a0but also because I never wear makeup to work. I had a look at my face in the scrub room mirror shortly afterwards, and found that the red rash I sometimes get around my eyes had come back.<\/p>\n
