HOSPITAL LEGEND #5

whenever we have a pt that exceeds the wt limit for the CT scanner, someone always mentions the option of taking them to the zoo.  supposedly they have gigantor scanners there.  has anyone actually ever had their pt taken to the zoo?

it doesn't look that big to me...

 

one of my patients came in just under 400 lbs

the limit for our CT scanner is 400 lbs

she was able to get scanned on admission, but now she's over 400 lbs (fluids, renal failure, etc)

she needs another scan but CT told us, no dice! she's too heavy and too big (they think she'll get stuck)

i said put her on a low carb diet and get her some spanx!

(...or dialyse, ace wrap, grease her up, and spin her)

the ICU team didn't appreciate my suggestions...

THEY SAY IT'S THE BEST MEDICINE...

things that made me laugh tonight:

a wacked out pt that came in stabbed.  had to have 8 big guys keep him down.  kept trying to bite people.  but was giggling and happily telling people, "you can take my weapons... you can take my weapons..."  then he'd try to play dead so the guys would let go.  ha!  like we'd fall for that!  but we will go ahead and take your weapons

******

interns talking about a pt with an infected boob.  baseline boobage = large and pendulous (not pungent as one resident once said).  but with the infection on top of major boobage ->  unaboob.  as in, "we're gonna sign off the unaboob tomorrow" 

******

reading one of my minions' reply to my email releasing the june call schedule version 18.0 in which i wrote

this hurts me so much more than it hurts you.  trust me.
here is june.  yet again.
please, don't tell me about any more changes.  i can't change it again.  i think it would kill my will to live.
 

he wrote

dont worry we still love you

hahahaha!  so gay! 

******

just now getting an email from one of the interns that started

you're going to kill me but...

i laughed because i lost it and wrote back

you are right! i am going to kill you.
yes, i did officially change it.  all the little yellow packets for the whole hospital are probably printed, stapled, and sitting in the office.
actually, i think you are making me cry.  i think there is salty liquid coming from my eyes for the first time during my general surgery residency...

i need sleep...

SCHLOOP!

today our beloved tragic heroine was in the operating room for 14 hrs - for only 2 cases!

luckily she got to eat a slice of pizza in between - no liquids of course

the first case was crazy weird - like alien weird

we were resecting a liver cyst full of cysts.

kinda like this...

Figure 2

and we were using this giant suction to suck up all the cysts.

kinda like sucking up boba... SLOOP... SLOOP... SLOOOOP...

the really gross part was that the attending kept calling it the abortion sucker

anywhoooo... i'm tired.  hungry.  sleepy.  not so grumpy.  but tired.  and hungry.  and sleepy

 

oh, and the moral of the story, children?  don't eat poop!

so i scrubbed this cabg

and during a quiet part of the case the attg turned to me and asked,

do you know what the 3 characteristics of a good surgeon are?

i was like...

he said,

the heart of a lion

the eyes of an eagle

and the hands of a woman

THE WAY WE ROLL

so i did it.
i bought the heelys and wore them on call last sunday.

totally premeditated...
sunday the hospital is a ghost town.  staffing is bare bones.
i was taking call with slim shady as my jr. (i think it was our first call together since intern year).
we met up and bought them together the day before.

i know, i'm a manchild.  i don't deny it.  but so is she.  immaturity loves company.

call started out pretty busy - trauma after trauma after trauma (x9)
but after we saved some lives, we had a lull around midnight and finally had time to try them out.

so fun!
after we mastered our skills in the halls of the OR (no scheduled cases on sunday), we left to terrorize the rest of the hospital
i would have to say that it was probably the funnest call ever - heelys, popsicles, phillipino cheese, CTs, pimps, berto, security guards, photo shoots, gitler, ortho ninja, etc
all the pics are on fb but here are a few...





i'm sure the patients and staff were comforted to know that the hospital was entrusted to such talented, coordinated, efficient, and mobile surgeons.
i'm actually the senior most resident (in any field) in house when i take call.
MUAHAHAHAHA

today call is not so fun.
i feel constrained.
