heard today in the OR

“Perfect, Anna!  Suck hard and get out quick.”  My fellow MS2 and I were the only ones who saw humor in that statement.

Also, today I got pimped on literary allusions from The Canterbury Tales to Macbeth to “The Jabberwocky.”  Whatever makes a five-hour surgery more entertaining, right?  Don’t remember the last time I picked up a work of fiction, so why am I way better at this sort of question then the “name that vessel” or “list the layers we’re cutting through” questions?
