give him the finger
I just got off the phone with the Plastic Surgeon, after having dropped a patient off at another hospital who’d had an unfortunate incident with a circular saw. I’d left his finger, or at least part of it at St Elsewhere’s, my impression was that it wasn’t going to be re-attached.
‘You should have brought the finger across…’
’I was under the impression it wasn’t viable.’
‘Well, you should have brought it across, even if it’s not, we can use it for nerve grafts or something (pranks, feeding dogs, or some such)’
‘Shit. Well it’s been on ice, double bagged in A&E for the whole time.’
‘Yeah, but it’s unlabelled right…I mean I don’t want to put on the wrong finger (insert laughter in the background)!’
‘No, I realise that. I can assure you that he’s the only one that had that type of injury today and it was his beside the bed.’
‘Ok, well send it across, we’ll see what we can do…’
Bugger. Better check my medical indemnity insurance.
Ben – this is so much better than Greys Anatomy!
are you as hot as Dr Mcdreamy?
Hi Miss E and Eliza – thanks for reading.
It’s probably more ‘Scrubs’ vs. ‘Grey’s Anatomy’.
Sadly, I can’t say that I’ve slept with any of my subordinates in the on-call room (despite my constant efforts), nor have I or anyone else posed nude for a men’s or women’s magazine. As for looking like Dr McDreamy…I have to be honest, we aren’t ‘that’ much alike…my eyes are green!
Dr Ben, You are slacking. Get back to blogging, I miss you.
