I know that orthopedic surgeon. He is one of the greatest sawboneses (is that the correct plural construction?) - never had a patient die on the table or post-surgically. Never!
There really isn't much blood loss in asystole. Having done a few "operations" on those patients (usually beginning with the classic Y incision), I can tell you they just sort of...seep.
Dr. G, do you know what the "PMA" is? I learned that during my rotation in ortho as a med student. It's the "point of maximal auscultation." You listen in just one place, sort of over the left lower ribs, for the heart, lungs and stomach (and anything else). Actually, that's just for the ortho med students because the ortho docs never used a stethoscope.
ROFL!!
ReplyDeleteOh, I love it! He must be an anesthesia guy.
Don't worry...I don't thing the lady will even notice the broken leg.
Darned asystole!

Oh, I love it. Perpetuating the stereotype of orthopods, which may or may not be firmly based on reality...
ReplyDeleteOMG, hysterically funny!!!!!!!
