A brief history of surgical gloves with a cheeky valentine's theme. Love and medicine collide to usher in the use of gloves in theatres around the world. Happy Valentine's. Lets spread the love ❤️

Some people were born into leadership, some achieved leadership, others were thrust into leadership. At the end of the day, we are all leaders at some point. Thank you @operationsmile @WomenSurgAfr @UCTGSB
