Dr. Orthochick: Critical

Me: ...and he had 5 degrees of dorsiflexion. So the xrays showed--

Dr. Critical: Do you mean "radiographic analysis depicted?"

Me: Yeah

Dr. Critical: You mean, "yes."

*sigh*

Thanks to everyone who helped promote The Devil Wears Scrubs yesterday! It's still on sale for only 99 cents for a limited time. Also, if you were supposed to get a free copy but haven't received it yet, please send me an email because they should have been all sent out!

  1. So . . . Dr. Orthochick is alive, if not alive and well? Hang in there, Dr. Orthochick - things will get better :)

  2. Dr. Critical must be a very fast runner, or else he would have been beaten senseless in 4th grade.

  4. This made me laugh. An MD I used to work for was this SAME EXACT WAY. I eventually learned to laugh it off.

  5. Well, that's better than in rounds the other day:

    Surgeon: What is a cherry eye?
    Me: The gland of the third eyelid is prolapsed.
    [Few moments of correcting me to call it the "nictitating gland"]
    Surgeon (in a students-are-so-frustrating-tone): It's *PROLAPSED*

    That's like the third or fourth time it's happened to me, too.
