overheard in the operating room


  1. "Have you ever kissed a man with dentures?"

  2. "It's good to be helpful, but not too helpful."

  3. "I thought about becoming Mormon once, but I couldn't do it. No alcohol!"

  4. "The enemy of "good" is "better"."

  5. "That was a blow for freedom!"

  6. "God gave you two hands and you can use them both at the same time."

  7. "So you are my surgical opponent today."

  8. "I thought about becoming Mormon once, but I couldn't do it. No Viagra!"

  9. "Irritation, please."

  10. "I enjoy cases like this. Then again, I also enjoy severe gas pains."

  11. "The enemy of "good" is "orthopedics"."

  12. "Stand by."

  13. "Stand down."

  14. "Anesthesia are the ones who kill the patients, not us."

  15. "This is my favorite part of the case, because you are leaving."

  1. My personal favorites from our conversations regarding your work:

    "better than a sharp needle to the eye"
    "call me if you need me, don't need me"

    I'm sure there are others - but my brain is mushy at the moment.
