Post a question and see if anyone can get the answer. In 1845, President Andrew Jackson's pet parrot was removed from his funeral for what reason? |

The classic "Rules" I was taught (and I've heard the same basic 5 from quite a few older surgeons) are as follows: Take out the Bad Leave the Good Stop the Bleeding Drain the Pus Don't F*ck w/ the Pancreas I worked w/ a chief resident a few years ago who added a bunch more: eat/sleep/drink/piss/fuck - when you can always see the patient learn from your mistakes shit rolls downhill if you're not operating, you should be rounding always look at the films yourself ABCs before H&P don't argue w/ idiots - bump it up the ladder don't piss off the nurses He had bunch more, but those are the ones I can quickly recall- a lot was borrowed from other sources, but it was good just the same. |
