Ramblings of an Emergency Physician in Texas

“Show me your hand…”

Posted by GruntDoc on August 3rd, 2007

…said the surgeon as he walked up to me.

I’m a helpful guy, so, up goes the hand.

“That might do”, he said musingly.

Do for what?

“I have a patient with a rectal foreign body…” and his voice trailed off as he walked.

No, he didn’t call, though I’m willing to lend a metaphorical if not always a physical hand.
