Things You Would Rather Not Hear During Surgery


#1. That's cool. Now can you make his leg twitch by pressing that one?!
#2. Wait a minute, if this is his spleen, then what's that?
#3. This patient has already had some kids, am I correct?
#4. Oh no! Where's my Rolex?!?!
#5. Ya know, there's big money in kidneys ... and this guy's got two of 'em...
#6. Well folks, this will be an experiment for all of us.
#7. No, no, no, no, NO!! Dammit..... Oh well....
#8. There go the lights again!
#9. Could you stop that thing from beating; it's throwing off my concentration.
#10. Sterile schmerile. The floor's clean, right?
#11. Rover! Come back with that. Bad dog!
#12. Oops! Hey, has anyone ever survived from 500 ml of this stuff before?
#13. OK, now take a picture from this angle. This is truly a freak of nature.
#14. FIRE! FIRE! Everyone get out!
#15. What's this doing here?
#16. What do you mean "You want a divorce?!?"
#17. I hate it when they're missing stuff in here.
#18. Oh no! Page 47 of the manual is missing!
#19. I wish I hadn't forgotten my glasses...
#20. Everybody stand back! I lost my contact lens!
#21. Better save that. We'll need it for the autopsy.
#22. Hand me that... uh... that uh... that thingy there.
#23. Accept this sacrifice, O Great Lord of Darkness.
#24. What do you mean he wasn't in for a sex change...?
#25. Someone call the janitor - we're going to need a mop.

What else would you hate to hear during surgery?

My mom was having surgery and the last thing she heard in the OR was "No Steve, not that one." Ha, what a thing to hear as you're being put under anesthesia.

#33. Don't worry. I think it is sharp enough.

#34. Nurse, did this patient sign the organ donation card?

#35. Anyone see where I left that scalpel?

#36. "Pass the scalpel" . . . "Sure! Here you go, Dr. Kevorkian!"
