13 pithy observation(s).:
Been fans of those crass, vulgar lunatics for ages.
They've done a fair bunch, do have a dig around.
Me during scheduling of surgery: "How do they determine who sleeps you?"
Scheduler: "Usually they rotate it. Why?"
Me: "I don't want that woman sleeping me. I'll take TR, CRNA or FB, MD, but not that woman."
Scheduler: {puzzled look}
Me: "I used to work in the ICU over there."
Scheduler: {knowing look with grin] Ahhhhhhhhhhhh......
Are we not the worst, most demanding patients, wanting someone we KNOW is safe?
Having back surgery tomorrow. Maybe I should ahve waited until Thursday to watch that clip.
[spit take!] Yeah - I worked as an anesthesia support nurse [major local trauma center with heart room, etc] for a few years and this had me splitting a gut. Or as one of the guys used to describe his job “I give toxic chemical to helpless people and they pay me for it.” A bit crass, perhaps, but I chalked that up to fatigue toxins at the end of a long weekend. And I would have let him sleep me or any member of my family.
I think one of the 'extra special duties' that endeared me to my gassers was I could remember all 32 doc's [regular, part timers and locums] personal espresso orders. That often got me a free drink when the doc would deliver the line “I’ll buy if you fly.” It took me less time to get to the coffee shop and back than anyone else in the shop.
Thinking back on it, I think the first piece of med-filk I ever heard was from an old EMT filk tape and the piece was called "You Respond to Everyone But Me".
I really miss that tape...
HYSTERICAL! Truly the funniest thing in my day, which may not be saying much for my day, but still... very ticklish!
ROTFLMAO! That rocks! Weird Al meets a doctor with a personality!
That is just way too awesome.
i really like that.
hyuk!
I snorted milk out of my nose watching that. It's hilarious.
Try this . . . the Ballad of the Colo-rectal Surgeon, performed by Canadian folk-singers, Bowser & Blue.

How this brings back the memories! It was always funny on how to answer a patient when they wanted to know who was going to put them out without saying "well, I don't blame you- I wouldn't want them either or you're in good hands with so and so! "
I laughed out loud.. really loud and then had to spend 2 minutes explaining myself....
On the up side the entire room took turns at watching...
Now all i can think however is old 80's music and the memories attached!!!
