I'm still laughing. Just did anesthesia for this patient today...had her subarachnoid pain pump removed because "it wasn't working." It was delivering enough narcotic to kill a horse. I admire you, Suzanne, a great deal. In my world i just have to put them to sleep and wake them up, but you have to try and actually help. I may have to post this to my FB page. It would get a few chuckles from many a medical friend (and non-medical, for that matter).
Did you make that movie? :)
ReplyDeleteSome of my favorite statements are: "I'm allergic to wind and employment and any non-narcotic drugs.
Funny, but I imagine a little too close to home in your world of work.
