A bit of fun, to bring me back to life:

• Oops! 
• Has anyone seen my watch? 
• Come back with that! Bad Dog!
• Wait a minute, if this is his spleen, then what’s that?
• Hand me that…uh…that uh…..thingy
• What do you mean he wasn’t in for a sex change!
• Everybody stand back! I lost my contact lens!
• Well folks, this will be an experiment for all of us.

I had a coffee with a friend of mine who is a 4th-year med student. We were talking about the expectations our mentors had of us during clinical placement.

Him - “I get to do quite a lot, they give us quite a lot of hands-on activities.”

Me - “Ooh, such as?”

Him - “Well, I’ve got to do an injection before. That was pretty exciting.”

Me - “Uh huh…”

Him - “And I put up some fluids once but they don’t really let us do that.”

Me - “Riiiight. Anything else?”

Ok, I know it’s sad, and in terms of medical knowledge and other procedures he’s probably a million light years ahead of me. But still. I could kick his ass at doing injections and putting up fluids. And he also told me he had no idea what a commode was for the whole of his first year. He thought it was a kimono. Roflol.

Small, small things amuse my small mind. Bahahaa. Still funny though. Mini-nursing win!

“increased capillary filterability”

It amused me during a lecture about venous ulcers, purely because it sort-of rhymes.

Little things, I know, I know.
