OK, now take a picture from this angle, this is truely a freak of nature.

I thought they had a ring of truth......

An eminent consultant surgeon once threw a a pair of forceps at me.  He was performing a laporoscopic choleocystectomy (Key hole removal of the gall bladder).  The incision was about 2" long and the gall bladder was full, and I mean FULL of Gall stones.  he had been tugging away at this thing for about five minutes until finally it came out with a load "Plop" sound.  I turned to my colleague and said really quietly "Congratulations mrs x, it's a healthy bouncing gall bladder."  Only problem was that he heard me and went absolutely loopy, he threw the forceps which hit me in the chest.  The theatre charge nurse started shouting at him and me at the same time.  I had to write a letter of apology to him and I got a very polite letter back apologising for the forceps which he "tossed rather forcibly onto the tray and unfortunately rebounded, stricking you(me) in the chest".  Not been back inside an operating thetre since.

Was very funny at the time.

Will ;D

Mum had a couple of good ones whilst working in paediatrics that always made me smile, the first was when a junior doctor wrote up some notes on a proctological examination of a 2 year old boy using an endoscope (think it was this anyhow), and used the annotation for feet rather than inches, and put down that he had investigated up to 2 feet, and my mother asked if the child needed his tonsils removed? Fortunately the doctor laughed at himself.
The other was a small boy with about 3 with elephantitus of the middle finger, so it was about the size of a normal adult finger, that caused a lot of laughs.

Oh and one of my friends was once constipated and went to see the MO to get something for it, and was given some sepositories (them bottom torpedos), and told that this would cure him.
A couple of days later I asked how things were, and had the problem been resolved, and he said "The MOs a ***** I could have shoved them things up my arse for all the good they've done!"

Ozzy ;D
