Attendings say the darnedest things:

During ICU rounds:

Student: "....she had no Flatus overnight.."

Attending: "you know, there's a Mexican dish called flatus."

Residents: "hmmm really?"

Me, dying laughing: "um, do you mean FLAUTAS???"




During surgery:
Resident S: Dr. L, why don't you let us do anything? Like cut, or do procedures.
Surgeon: I let you guys cut suture
Resident S: No, I mean cut, do surgery. I hunt and fish and filet fish all the time.
Surgeon: Unless my patient's name is Rainbow Trout you are not cutting into them.
