P.S. To the last post

So, I'm standing behind my preceptor, as he's reviewing the chart of a patient who we're about to take back. Michael Jackson's 'Don't Stop 'Till You Get Enough' comes on the radio, and I guess I must have started grooving in place because he turned around and asked me, "are you doing the moonwalk?" I said, "umm, no, I don't think so? But I can?" And then I proceeded to do my poor rendition of the move. He laughed and said, "you know what you say when they offer you two gloves in the OR, don't you?" I shook my head. He said, "when they hold up the second glove ... say, 'I only need one'. And then give 'em a moonwalk."

I know, you'd have to have been there. This guy is full of so much good humor, he keeps me laughing all day long. It's a good ride this time around.

Oh yea, I forgot to mention ... with the splenectomy, I had done my homework. So when we went to begin, I asked the Doctor, "left costal incision?" He said, "hmm, no, midline abdominal". We gathered around and waited to begin, when he said, "you know, actually, I think the left costal is the way to go with this one due to her body habitus. Let's begin." And begin we did :)
