Things You Don't Want to Hear, Part III

Category: Humor
Posted on: March 30, 2007 8:08 PM, by Craig Hildreth

Things you don't want to hear in the Operating Room:

1. "My wife made this incredible cabbage and baked bean casserole last night."

2. "Doctor, why is there an "X" on the patient's other leg?"

3. "Nurse, would you bring me a double Jack-and-water please?"

4. "Stop arguing and turn up the power on the electrocautery probe."

5. "Maybe if you press a little harder with the laryngoscope."

6. "Instead of Mozart I thought we'd listen to something a little more invigorating today."

7. "Did you remember to eat a light lunch?"

8. "Doctor, he insists on speaking to you - says he's your broker."

9. "What do you mean you don't have a Fothergill-Key extractor? Well, quick, get me a substitute!"

10. "I'll be right back."
