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)
