you guys would be so proud of me. the attending let me close up with the resident. i was getting kinda bored and remembered how during the case the surgeon had simply uttered the phrase "table up" and the anesthesiologist immediately pressed a button and raised the table for the surgeon.
i looked over and saw the anesthesiologist still sitting there on his stool reading something (surprise, surprise) and so I just blurted out "Table down", and almost like a reflex response he put down whatever he was reading and went for the button and lowered the table.
i let a few minutes pass and then blurted out again "Table up!" and added "That's enough" when he raised the table to some level.
by this time i was trying my best to contain my laughter under my mask..and it was around this time they figured out what I was doing. the anesthesiologist finally said "you think that's funny?" and that's when i kinda lost it and let out a few chuckles. now it was the resident and OR nurses trying to contain their laughters. you had to be there.
