Surgery T-Shirts

So we're making shirts for the Surgical interest group at our school and we were trying to think of some witty saying to put on it. Unfortunately, the extent of my creativity is to refer to google. All that came up with that was "When other clubs just won't cut it." That in itself was a pretty good one, but I was wondering if anyone else had any better suggestions =)

A chance to cut is a chance to cure.



and


Nothing heals like cold steel.





Or maybe "only one or two of us will actually end up going into surgery." If that could fit on a t-shirt, of course....

How about this:

What's the difference between Internal Medicine and Surgery?

Medicine saves articles..... but Surgery saves lives!

As much as I try to keep a neutral stance when it comes to our IM colleagues, especially after a few bad experiences with them as a student, that almost got soda shooting out of my nose with laughing. 😀

I always wanted a black T-shirt with the stick model of caffeine in white on the front of it with the subtitle "CAFFEINE: the god of all drugs!" and on the back, have the rules in my signature block on the back. (The first three came from an old surgeon I scrubbed for, the last three were my additions.)

As for your shirt problem, you could go, "*school's name* Surgery: Carrying 9,000 years of definitive therapy into the 21st century and beyond."

We used "Eat, Sleep, Operate" at the top with a picture of an OR light under which we wrote " Basking in the Bright Lights".

I think the shirt should say "Hey Look at Us Tools!"

Seriously, you aren't surgeons (yet). You Haven't even applied, let alone matched into surgery. For what reasons do you need/want to have shirts? Does it make you feel cooler than the people who are not interested in surgery, tough, superior?

Haven't you knuckleheads (3rd years or lower) learned how to play the game yet? Don't go around declaring a specialty until you have been through all your 3rd year rotations.

Bigger buzz kill than Buzz Killington

Sir, I knew Buzz Killington. Buzz Killington was a friend of mine. And Skiz Knot is no Buzz Killington.

But still, his point should be considered. As good of an idea as it sounds like now, I promise that in a few years, you'll think of Surgery Interest Group T-shirts as a very bad idea.

Still, I have no problem with people being excited about stuff, and I think it's fine. I just don't think many of you will wear it after you hit the clinical years, and definitely not after you start residency.

For that reason, I would make the T-shirt as bland and un-bad@ss as possible. The more it's meant to sound cool, the more you'll be clowned on by others more experienced.


But, just so you don't feel that I was above such behavior, I'm including a pic of my attire to my med school formal senior year. In the end, the most important thing is to have fun, and who cares what other people think.

Just stick with the 3 rules of surgery...slightly modified for today's surgical trainee:

1. Eat when you can...but make sure the food isn't from a drug rep.

2. Sleep when you can...but preferably during your required 5 hour naptime.

3. Don't f%$# with the pancreas...at least until you've completed your 7 year residency and 2 year fellowship.

 

[Satinsky]

One of my favorite shirts was from an orthopod. it said.

Cut when you can, scope when you have to, but always stay swole!

It probably goes without saying.... but that is just sad:cry:

 

[SmokD]

Yea, I realize most of us won't go into surgery but it's all in good fun. Hell, I don't plan on going into EM but I bought an EM club shirt that had a picture of a flatlining(flat lining? how the heck do you spell that again? 😵) ECG that said "nobody likes a quitter." Why? cause I thought it was funny, its all in good fun.

Nice, I like it. I'd tweak it a little to say something like "Just catching some rays" and show a surgeon in full gear reclining under the OR lights with a little umbrella.

 

[Rabbit Hole]

"What What In the Butt"

"Cogito Ergo Seco"

"Yes Sir, May I have another!"

"Don't f*ck with me." (Fight Club pancreas)

"Cut. It. Out." (Full House style)

 

[tkim]

"When in doubt, cut it out."

"Did someone fart, or did I just nick bowel?"

 

[Guile]

I always liked "surgery is the most fun you can have with your pants on" or "...with the lights on."
