Well, then let me kill the mood. I share my Mum's taste in most things 😛

My Dad and I mainly share physique, tempers, and taste in scotch and automobiles.

Fancy cars, bad tempers, and a love for scotch? You must be brown.

I like boys with reasonable effeminate tendencies. You'll have to try harder.

fancy, puh-lease. I'm Arab...we think of desi tempers as the baa-baa of lambs. And you should know this. 😛

Wait...I think you just joined fancy's club of wildwear.

Yes, they were faboo. Unfortunately there's a lot of walking at this conference and my feet hurt (which suprised me given that I wear heels all the time.

@Smurfette is disappointed with my more sedate heels today.

Omigosh you're both there! How adorably sexy and cool and fun! Slumber party! Show us the sedated heels.

Whoa you work with smurfette? I know what you look like because of the whole Dr. Cox thing but not smurfette.

I think they're at a conference.

 

[Winged Scapula]

No; we're at the same conference.

I know what you look like because of the whole Dr. Cox thing ...

Is that so? Are you sure? 😉

Your shoes yesterday were quite awesome... The picture really does not do them justice! I am sure you have quite an impressive collection and wanted to see some more of the fabulousness. Nothing wrong with more sedate shoes...just was expecting something on par from yesterday!

I also wore more comfortable shoes today. Seems to be a trend when I look around.

 

[fancymylotus]

@Winged Scapula, what are your thoughts on loub vs manolo? I have yet to find a pair of even remotely comfortable loubs.

I tried, I really did. Next year, I promise!

Tomorrow will be much more casual; suitcases brought to am session, plane comfort clothes.

Looks: Loub > Manolo (for anything than classic pump)
Comfort: Manolo > Loub but mostly because the latter tend to be higher

I actually prefer Jimmy Choo, Weitzman or Ferragamo. Lately lots of Tory Burch (source of the ones pictured above).

 

[graviton]

because of the whole Dr. Cox thig

She's the one Dr. Cox was named after?

If so:

If so:

Duh!

 

[graviton]

Duh!

D'oh! It's in her sig.

 

[DermViser]

D'oh! It's in her sig.

I thought that was just a joke. Had no idea the people of Scrubs really named him after her.

We can't say that for sure. What we can say is that there's a post on SDN from ~2000 that she responded to that was basically the guys from scrubs asking for ideas. I've seen it linked before, but I'm too lazy to find it. And back then her username was a variation on her real name.

Haha, gotta admit this is true.

Getting back to sneezing.......

If someone sneezes in surgery, the proper response is "You're so good looking"

 

[Raryn]

Decided I was not actually too lazy to do it.

Google-fu brought me http://forums.studentdoctor.net/threads/funny-stories.18253

 

[mizzu]

I never have snot when I sneeze. I exhale/sneeze through my mouth...

 

[Priapism4tooLong]

take a few steps back, in med school i got shouted at for doing the dracula sneeze into my scrubs

 

[Kahreek]

If you can, announce that you need to sneeze, then back away from the field.
Sneeze into your mask.
Hope that it doesn't fly off your face.

Pray that the circulator is nice and will re-mask you if necessary. (this is why you thank them 5 times while they are gowning you...)

i aint thanking no one for doing their job, pffff

 

[maxxor]

It's her job to do that for the surgeons.

Not you.

 

[Kahreek]

Not you.

but, but we are the future.

 

[Winged Scapula]

but, but we are the future.

In the future, when you bring cases to the hospital which contributes to the circulator's livelihood, you can expect to be treated differently. Until then you shouldn't expect any special treatment; it's not the circulator's job to take care of you.

 

[Winged Scapula]

could they theoretically tell a med student to suit themselves up?

You mean to gown and glove?

 

[Raryn]

could they theoretically tell a med student to suit themselves up?

Yes. Most of the time they won't simply because you're bound to f--- it up and they'd rather supervise you to make sure that you're sterile.

The ability to gown and glove yourself is something that should be taught during orientation before your first surgical rotation, and is something you'll need in almost any specialty. There's no scrub tech to gown you before you're doing a central line as an IM/FM/whatever intern.
