Breathe, breathe in the air

No, it's not Pink Floyd, but I needed surgery, I'd want these guys trying to wake me up after it was over:

They don't have to sing about it while they're doing it, though. After I'm safely awake and in the recovery room would be fine.

This guest post from James Kakalios got me thinking — if anyone wants to take advantage of this prominent platform I've lucked into for the purpose of publishing their views, I'd be willing to give them an occasional opportunity. I wouldn't want to turn the place into wall-to-wall other people (it'…
I don't know. They seem to come in a range of sizes; when they're as large as a small male penis, I suppose it might be unexpected, perhaps a little confusing, perhaps a little ambiguous to people intolerant of the idea that the human form is found in intermediate shapes. We know that the variation…
Blame it on Abel, who blogged his vasectomy, and Janet, who blogged her mammogram. Also blame Drugmonkey and Physioprof, who along with Abel, Janet, and others encouraged me to Blog My D&C. Yep. So here goes. It all started innocently enough back in May with my annual exam. First…

That's amusing. You can tell that doctors clearly don't have enough patients. :)

They are not doctors, they are nurses.

Just like the one sent in during my first birthing. I asked for an epidural... So he came in and noticed that I was not dilated enough. He sat down and explained in excruciating detail all the good and bad parts of an epidural. When he was done, I was examined again.

I was too dilated for an epidural!

AAAARGH.

I gave birth about three hours later (I had a wee bit of narcotics to dull the worst bits).

I've never had an epidural even though I have asked for one... though for the last kid it was understandable, I was barely at the hospital before that kid made its appearance! Absolutely no drugs with that kid, there was no time.

Not that it made a difference. She is as annoying a teenager as her older siblings.

Forgot to mention, whenever you are in the hospital you will mostly see nurses.

Nurses ROCK!

Even if they are long winded CRNAs.
