Funny scrub story...


One of the things I'm qualified to do in our OR is run the CO2 and Holmium laser. When I have a laser case scheduled, I'll often say "I'm Laser Man" tomorrow, so my kids got me a scrub top with "Laser Man" embroidered over the pocket.
I wore it today for the first time for a laser lithotripsy of a ureteral stone. The urologist has a good sense of humor and he looked at it closely, then looked at the manufacturer's name on the sleeve. He asked me if that was my logo. I checked and told him "No, it's YOURS".
The manufacturer? Dickies...

Great story,,,,, I used to run the CO2 laser in our OR as well.

One of our surgeons was vaporizing some skin lesions off a man that I knew, so I stopped by the holding area to say hi.
He asked if I was going to be there, and I said I was helping the doc run the laser.
And of course, he asked if my hands were steady.

I pulled the old "Blazing Saddles" gag on him, holding out my rock steady left hand, and said "sure", then held up a quaking right hand, and said, "but this is the hand I use to run the laser!!!"

Everyone got a good laugh, and hopfully made his experience a little better.
Laughter is the best medicine right??!!

Yeah, if you work with a Doc who can take a joke, the battle is half over.
