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

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! -

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.”
Patient: “… we’re done??”
