Why 2k+7?
Happy New Year. And all that. Had a combination of the absolute best and worst Christmas holiday ever. Don't ask.
I'm just glad to be back at work.
There's a fine line between putting someone to sleep (as in giving them an anaesthetic) and putting someone to sleep (like the vet or the man in the special Swiss clinic does); that fine line was completely obscured by my first patient today - shwasbloodyenormous and a disaster of Titanic proportions (literally), waiting to happen.
The surgeon was not having fun. At one point he shouted "Right, that's it. Wake the patient up. Now. I want to tell her she's ruining my operation because she's too fucking fat." Aw, bless.
Another surgeon yelled at me a few weeks ago (he wasn't pleased that we diagnosed his first patient with a heart condition and cancelled her operation, simply because there was a large chance she'd die on the table - oh, sorry...). But we put on a Seventies CD during the next operation and he was dancing around (a bit) & singing along and forgot all about it! Sorted.
Simple creatures, Orthopods... Sometimes I wish I was one.
Or a squirrel.

Hey,
your blog makes me smile, and saves me from the monotonous mountains of revision i have to do. =[
hel x
PS. is adam an anaesthetist too?
Yes, of course the fat woman made it. She lives to see another day. (From her sofa as she stuffs her face, no doubt.)
If you remember 7 years back, they were calling "The Year 2000" Y2K, so...
Writing the blog saves me from my revision too (only it doesn't, just postpones it a bit.)
(I haven't written many musical mnemonics, but I do have one about MH & Dantrolene to the tune of Dancing Queen - how sad...)
Adam's a gynaecologist - we've never worked together, but do you think any patients would trust us if we ever did?!
I was discussing this with someone last night actually.
We had both only ever seen Adam drunk.
So we we ever trust Adam? (Well, my friend certainly would really need to, being a man and all).
So would I trust him? Hell no! That, and he takes the piss out of me...
Obviously, I'd trust you Suman- as long as you didn't do what we discussed months ago. Not i'd know about it anyway?!
Seriously though, I would trust you.
er... what?
(maybe you should email me Nikki...)
