Resident: "Now what's the difference between the Bristow and the later-jet?"
Attending: "You just take the end of the coracoid in the Bristow."
Resident: "Just the tip?"
Attending: "Yeah, just the tip.  You have to be careful not to break off the tip.  It leads to quite a bad day."
Resident: "I can imagine."
Attending: "I was a little too rough with a tip once, it basically exploded on me."
