10:28:06 PM    comment [] Uh Oh - Back to real life...   Eleven Thrown in Prison for Refusing Vaccination   Eleven men in Mali were jailed after refusing to let their children receive the polio vaccine. The men were charged with "resistance, disobedience and rebellion against public authorities" and sentenced to between six months and three years in prison. http://www.cnn.com/2005/WORLD/africa/05/11/mali.polio.reut/ (Time for a laugh or two, no?) Things You Don't Want to Hear During Surgery OOPS!! I wonder what this does! Hand me the saw someone! Did he say the right or left leg? Someone call the janitor - we're going to need a mop. Bo! Bo! Come back with that! Bad dog! Wait a minute, if this is his spleen, then what's that? Hand me that...uh...that uh...thingy. Better save that. We'll need it for the autopsy. Oops! Hey, has anyone ever survived 500ml of this stuff before? Ya know, there's big money in kidneys and this guy's got two of em. Everybody stand back! I lost my contact lens. I wish I hadn't forgotten my glasses. Well folks, this will be an experiment for all of us. Anyone see where I left that scalpel? This patient has already had kids, am I correct? Nurse, did this patient sign the organ donation card? Don't worry. I think it is sharp enough. FIRE! FIRE! Everyone get out! Darn! Page 47 of the manual is missing! What do you mean you want a divorce? 10:21:55 PM    comment []
