Things you really don’t want to hear during surgery

  • “Wait… I thought this was an autopsy?!”
  • “Oh wow! Never seen one of those before.”
  • “Finally—my very first surgery! So exciting!”
  • “Ugh. I can’t stand the sight of blood.”
  • “Hand me the morphine! No, not for them—for me. Trying to quit heroin, you know.”
  • “Relax, I know what I’m doing! Kill one patient by accident and suddenly everyone thinks you are useless!”
  • “…and hey, if this goes well, in just six months they’ll give me back my license. Then I can practice medicine legally again!”
