Had surgery today and during the preamble the anaesthetist told me there was a 1/400 chance of accidental damage to important organs. Which seemed OK until I realised that's the same as rolling two critical fails in Baldurs Gate III and that happens to me ALL THE TIME.
Waiting for my operation and the anaesthetist recognised me from last time. Ah, you're the bird lady she said. Now she's off to find some bird song that I can fall asleep to. Feeling cared for. 🥰
That’s my anaesthetist wife’s line.
Much as the anaesthetist and med reg are lovely, I’m hoping I can get through the night without bothering them tonight 🤞🏻
Why always 2am? I know, circadian rhythm and all that. Several b2b nebs, magnesium and hydrocortisone later, I’m shifting enough air to cough and for the anaesthetist to leave HDU. I’m glad this isn’t as often as it was, but it’s still tough when it happens
That's what the anaesthetist said!!
See, I've chatted to a good friend of mine who's an anaesthetist in the NHS, and he considers there to quite an important distinction between the two.
Right!? Which makes the anaesthetist' reaction a bit less weird, to be honest. What a TIL this is! Thanks 😁👍
He was made by a friend of my mum's, and he's one year younger than me. Cuddle-buddy 4 Life. Weirdly, when I was in hospital in May, the anaesthetist did a double-take when introducing himself and asked if he knew my tiger from 70s TV. Maybe he's a vintage pattern? 🤷🏼♀️
