One of my coresidents was playing with the blue rubber thingy on the IV fluid bags when it inadvertently flew into the surgical field (during an apparently particularly boring part of the operation)... surgeon’s response: “Well why don’t you just SHIT in there!”

and then there was the time when a student was scrubbed in a neck dissection, and the attending dissected and exposed the accessory nerve.

The attending says…”exactly, why can’t all the students know anatomy like this guy”
