Question for my surgically inclined medblrs... when do you get to the point when it doesn’t feel like your arms want fall off after a full day of retracting?
Because I spent my first day in the OT for my internship and I’m pretty sure I’ve aged ten years physically...

So my new consultant is a little on the older side... and as they’ve been working in this area for a long time lots of the patients know them or have been treated by them in the past.
We went to see a patient yesterday and as they introduced themselves another patient ‘ Oh Dr [X], you are my favourite doctor in the world!’; after which another patient exclaimed ‘Dr [X]?! I thought they had died!’ lolzzzz

My new registrar: You know they thing I appreciate about you [CS] is your ability to be very organised.
Me: Haha thanks...but please let me remove all illusions b/c you know those letters you asked me to chase. I had them...but I have most definitely lost them somewhere around this hospital...

“I’m pretty sure Dr. [Consultant] has admitted every patient in the state... oh no... actually wait... he also accepted a patient from [overseas]... so I think we’ve accepted everyone in the South Pacific region.”
