    Surgeon's headlight keeps going out...

    Anesthesiologist: "Should I direct some of my brilliance at the surgical site?"

    "Now look here, you Baltic gas passer... " - Mik, 6/14/08

    The saying, "Lite is just one damn thing after another," is a gross understatement. The damn things overlap.

      Regarding a patient with a gangrenous digit...

      Anesthesiologist 1: "He just needs a chihuahua to chew it off."

      Anesthesiologist 2: "He's seeing Dr X, so that's basically the same thing."

                  My med student today had never heard the song 867-5309….I sent her home, can’t have that kind of lack of experience in the OR.

                    Patient, waking up: “We’re done??”

                    Anesthesiologist: “Yeah! You fell asleep, missed it!”

                    Patient: “How did it go?”

                    Anesthesiologist: “The other doctor will talk to you when you’re more awake. Anything we tell you right now you may not remember… including that.”

                        Circulating Nurse: “Is everybody ready to drive home in the dark every day? Make sure you’re taking your vitamin D—we don’t want any seasonal depression!”

                            One of the real PITA behaviors of some surgeons is having the circulator answer his phone while they are operating.

                            =-=-=-=-=-=-=

                            ding

                            Ortho Surgeon: “Can you check that text for me?”
                            Circulator: (looks at the phone for a second) “It’s Sinnamon, with an ‘S’, she says you left your wallet at her place last night, and thanks for the extra $100.”

                            (Ortho Surgeon looked totally bewildered).

                            I work with some funny people. 🤣 Maybe that’s how you get the surgeon to stop asking you to answer their phone!

                              Me to surgeon: “How’s it going?”

                              Surgeon: “Can’t complain. I mean, I’m GOING to but…”

                              Me: “You know the difference between surgeons & puppies? Puppies eventually stop whining”
