Well, I won't comment on posting a new thread to link to another, but the other "Observing Surgeries" posts 10+ are definitely good for some comic relief.
HAHAHAHA
When the surgeon asks for an instrument, YOU take it off the Mayo stand and hand it to him. This makes you seem knowledgeable.
If you don't beat the scrub tech to the instrument when the surgeon asks for it, intercept it during the handoff and then YOU hand it to the surgeon. This makes you seem aggressive.
If you don't beat the scrub tech to the instrument and you miss the interception and the surgeon already has the instrument in his hand, knock it out of his grip and onto the floor. Then YOU go back to the Mayo stand and pick up a replacement to hand to the surgeon. Make you sure cough loudly as you swat his hand, though, to make it appear as if you did it accidentally. This makes you seem in control.
Continuously reprimand the Anesthesiologists with phrases like:
"No, the OTHER Reverse T-burg damn it."
"No, the OTHER patient's right damn it."
"No, the OTHER table up damn it."
"Hey Gas, this patient's got good insurance. There's no reason to go light on the anesthesia."
If the Anesthesiologists introduce themselves to you, "Hi, I'm Dr. So-and-So," just put your hand in their face and reply, "I will simply refer to you as 'Gas' or 'Nurse.' You choose." This makes you seem hard core.
If you hear any of the nurses in the room start a sentence with "Well, I thought..." Promptly cut them off and snap back with "The only thinking you did today was to decide whether or not you were coming into work. Since then it's just been following the surgeon's orders." This makes you seem authoritative and in complete understanding with how modern healthcare works.
And make PLENTY of jokes about different minority ethnic groups, the surgical resident's penis/breasts/vagina, and how utterly ridiculous it is that Anesthesiologists train for four years to learn how to turn a few knobs and read the Wall Street Journal during a case.
Good luck buddy! You're on your way!

I lol-ed at that one.
You can also go to the EM forum and read "things I learned from my patients". You'd be surprised how many people are shot SOTCMTOB (standing on the corner minding their own business).

Think of the possibilities though. We could make a thread about this thread. Another one about that one. Just pretend that this 8 is sideways and is in reference to the thread possibilities.

but honestly, what alternative did i have other than to make a thread referencing another thread in another forum, bumping one from Surgery and Surgical subspecies?
i felt like sharing a thread I found humorous with people who have similar academic interests as me...why are your panties in a knot about it c5212?

LMAO!!! I actually worked as a "scrub tech" during the time between engineering school and going back as a pre-med. I love this!!!
But for the record, I must say this: unless you haven't worked with a particular surgeon (they all have idiosyncracies in their procedures, depending where they trained), a surgeon NEVER has to ask a good scrub tech for anything. You learn to watch the case and anticipate the surgeon's every move to an extent that surprises even them. You'd never beat ME 🙂

5.read up on the procedure the night before and find some esoteric facts about the operation. then in the middle of the surgery quiz the assistant surgeon on one of these points. if he/she doesn't know, ask the same question of the attending surgeon. if neither know, answer the question yourself in a tone that makes it seem as if the answer was obvious. if they fire back any of their own questions you can claim you're just a premed.
6.ask for a letter of recommendation for medical school right in the middle of the procedure.
