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!!!
Anon 7:39,
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.
Waking up in recovery room.
“But I just came here to leave drug samples.”
