1. What do you mean she wasn't scheduled for a hysterectomy?

2. Wow- She's got great knockers!

3. I did get any sleep at all last night.

4. Singing Christmas Carols, telling jokes & laughing (this was actually going on during my C-Section!)

Actually said during a nephrectomy being performed by a surgeon. The surgeon says, "OMG....I just partially immobilized the spleem." Didn't want that surgeon working on me or anybody I knew!

Very funny but scary. During an ear surgery that I got to observe the surgeon was joking around that he could disable a certain nerve (forgot which one) in the patients ear to make all his food taste bad for a while. He was joking around b/c the patient was very obese. I thought it was funny but very scary b/c if that patient only knew !!
