Tales From Residency

Attending: "Where was the level of your spine injury?"

Patient: "I think it was C-12."

Attending: "Uh..."

Patient: "No wait, I think it was B-12."

Attending: [hysterical laughing] "That's a vitamin!"

    It was 747, or MI6, or PS3. One of those levels.

    Grumpy: It's always a great challenge to figure out what part of the spine they're talking about, isn't it? Usually they do manage to get a letter in there though.... :)

    At first I thought is was a Med Student or Intern that said it, and not a patient.
