An inexperienced nurse leaves your only gastroscope soaking in water without its waterproof cap on for three days? And then the video keeps shorting out because of water in the electronics meaning it’s unusable?
Well this solution is definitely not in the Olympus repair manual:
I decided to immerse our newly donated scope, with all it’s protective caps removed, in rice for a week. And, praise God, it worked! The desiccant properties of the rice seem to have sucked all the water out of the scope and it is now functional again! Now we just need to find a couple more scopes just in case…
