Old School
Working in the sports medicine clinic...and...saw a patient with osteochondritis dessicans. He was scoped back in 1997 and last week his knee locked up on him again. He went to emerg to have some xrays.
Dr. Fowler, a great old-school orthopedic surgeon, took one look at the xray....and all he said was, "Well, fuck."
I love old school surgeons. So crass.
Last week there was a kid who came to the clinic to have an abdominal xray because he was complaining of abdo pain and now shoulder tip pain. He had so much free air in his belly...it was amazing he was still walking. Apparently when he was younger he had a ruptured esophagus....from......yelling too loud at a Metallica concert.
Two weeks ago I saw a patient's xray in emerg...she was at a strip club and she had a coin in her mouth...but was knocked by some....boobs? i dunno what...anyways, she swallowed it. It got stuck just past her epiglottis.....yeah, nurses were looking at that xray all night.
