Today I had a breakfast burrito and a doughnut for breakfast, a chicken and bacon sandwich with fries and a cookie for lunch, and then had a giant coffee to wash it down.  Suddenly at 1432...

Me: 'Hey, so if I understand this right, the patient was struck by a car, then run over twice, and you didn't admit them why?'
ACS Senior: 'I just didn't think it was a high energy mechanism.'

My senior was operating on an achilles today.  I saw a tendon near the achilles laterally and asked if that was fibularis tertius...

ED resident: 'So I think we're good, I don't think you need any more xrays.'

We had a ...rather large... patient we were trying to put an SI screw in.  I felt like her backside was doing this to me the whole time...

After trying to please the ED nurses at county my whole rotation, my final thoughts...

Attending: 'See if you can reduce that distal radius, but I doubt you'll be able to, it's pretty shortened.'

Me: 'Is she neurovascularly intact?'

ED attending: 'I don't know, I don't carry around their h&p.'

Me: ....

Medical Student: 'Hey, so this post op patient has a little stitch abscess, you want me to go ahead and take out that suture?'

Call from the trauma team medical student: 'Hey, there's a car crash that's going to be here in like 10 minutes.  Not sure if any injuries yet, but can you go ahead and come down to the ED?'

Attending: 'Hitting the chicken strips kinda hard lately, aren't we?'

When, after 3 minutes, the med student finishes the first suture throw...

Attending: 'Have you done an ex-fix on a femur before?'
Me: 'Nope.'
Attending: 'Okay, well I have to go round, so...'
