Getting a page from general surgery saying that they're 'signing off' of a patient they're still the primary team on....

Pimping an intern, when an attending starts pimping me on stuff i don't know....

(Changing the packing on a kids wound)
Nurse to the kid: "Don't worry! It's not going to hurt at all!"
Me: "Well... it might hurt a little bit."
Nurse to the kid after me taking off the ace wrap: "See? That's all he had to do!"
Me: "Not even close to done yet."
Nurse to the kid after taking the gauze off the wound: "See? He just needed to look at it!"
Me: ...

Usually what happens when I try to smoothly commandeer supplies from our ED...

So the other day I was seeing a patient, and in the same room, the nurse says: "Doctor, the father of my patient is seizing."

Immediately springing into action:

After my mind raced to find ANY sort of info from medical school regarding seizures, all I can come up with is: 'You should probably call a code or something...' Which of course, I thought was...

In the meantime, I figured maybe a sternal rub or something would break it, which felt like the equivalent of...

(And in retrospect, I think I was thinking of a PSVT)
More nurses have by now gathered, and one of them not so quitely yells out 'Doctor, what would you like to give?!"

So I just kind of made sure he didn't break anything and cause a real orthopedic consult.....

And luckily, that's about when the code team showed up....

It's NFL draft season, as an orthopod that doesn't follow professional sports....

Anytime a patient tells me they 'have a high pain tolerance'....

Telling an attending a hardware removal went well....

 (Placing a k-wire with an attending holding the hand)

Attending: "AAHHHHHH. MY HAND!!!!!"
(Attending slowly changes look to a smile)

My external reaction:

Internal reaction:

I showed an attending a picture of a wound on my ipad. He then proceeded to start flipping through the rest of the pictures....

When a dad started tearing up when I was showing him his daughters surgically corrected scoliosis xrays...

Patient: 'Oh, and one more thing....can you look at my throat? I think I may have gotten a sore throat from .... gonorrhea....'

Nurse: 'Hi, sorry for paging you. Our patient is pretty constipated and I think needs to be digitally disimpacted. I can do it, but can you write an order for that?'

After operating for 19 hours the day before and having the kids waking me up the next morning at 0515...
