5. First Names & "Professionalism"

   FST66E replied to porsch65's topic in Operating Room

   You are welcome. I had forgotten that things can get picked apart in some of my replies made about vague statements and loop-holed posts. Actually, the statements I made were not directed at you or anyone else personally. I was speaking in the genera...

6. First Names & "Professionalism"

   FST66E replied to porsch65's topic in Operating Room

    FST66E replied to JUSTYSMOM's topic in Emergency

    The most rediculous thing I have ever seen was a patient who lost a .....sex toy up his rectum. But that was not the funny part, his partner decided to try to get it out with salad tongs the kind with a hinge in the middle. The hinge got caught on th...
