Annoy the anesthesiologist

Shadowfax goes under, but not before tweaking the medical staff.

A demonstration of hyperbaric chambers for wound care. They put us in, just for a few minutes, to get a feel of what it’s like.
So I go in, they pressurize for a few minutes, then back down.
The tech lets me out, asks me how I felt.
“Just fine, thanks. Havent’t felt this good since they fixed my pneumothorax last week.”
I wish I had a camera.

Following cataract surgery, place the sticker (on the forehead, marks the side to be operated)to above the unoperated eye. Got the Post op staff very excited the time I did it, would not try again with all the appropriate attention now given to medical errors. But it was funny once!!!

Thanks to issues like this we now must write in marking pen and initial above the eye to be operated rather than use stickers. This is a requirement. The eyes I operate look pristine coming out of surgery. The brow tattoo is another matter.

Purposefully misleading an anesthesiologist, nurse, or physician is the equivalent of a bomb joke on an airplane. You would land on the no-fly list with anyone I know, and not because we lack a sense of humor.

The only person who’s supposed to be able to piss-off the anesthesiologist (and get away with it) is — you guessed it, the surgeon.
