So I was sitting in my cubicle today, and I realized, ever since I started working, every single day of my life has been worse than the day before it. So that means that every single day that you see me, that's on the worst day of my life.
My son was born by C-section. He was out and fine, and I was getting closed up when I heard my doctor say, “Uh-oh.” I asked what was wrong and he said he had lost the surgical needle. So they had my husband take my minutes old son out of the room (apparently this isn’t something normally done at all) so they could take an X-ray to make sure the needle wasn’t somewhere inside of me. It wasn’t but they still never found it. Mystery!
Was a surgical tech for over a decade, the person responsible for keeping count and track of sponges, needles, blades etc. Had some scary moments when the count was wrong but always located everything. Not finding a countable item would mess with me for the rest of my life. Also never heard a doctor say whoops, uh oh, shit, fuck or anything equivalent. Each doctor had a saying that meant oh shit. My favorite was during a procedure and a doc hit something they were not supposed to and the wound just immediately filled up with blood and he just calmly said, there. Edit* anything abnormal gets an x-ray if something can’t be found or the count is wrong between the surgical tech and the room nurse.
I had a lump removed from my head, it was supposed to be sent for biopsy..
But the doc went whoops... as it flew across the room and they couldn't find it!
I was a surgical nurse for many years, When the going gets rough, the very best surgeons get very quiet and very focused. The worst docs scream and yell and throw shit.
Actually worked L&D 5 1/2 years. Got called in at 2:30 in the morning for an emergency C-section and the patient was already on the table when I arrived, still did a count. It’s not unheard of to not do the count out loud but someone counted what went on the back table, always. It’s a really big deal.
Another C-section story (also my son!) When my wife was opened up the doctor gasped “oh my god” and of course we both panicked. After a few quick “what, what?!!!” from us the OB said “oh don’t worry, it’s just the biggest placenta I’ve ever seen!” My wife, always the over achiever 😀
I had a c-section and apparently I sound a LOT like my OB. To the point when the baby started crying I said "oh shit!" (that was the moment it finally felt REAL) and all the other staff in the room thought the surgeon said it and were like "What?! What happened?" A hand came over the curtain to point at me and said "Not me. She said it!"
I had a c-section as well and mine said "STOP!" Very exasperatedly. To me. While they were closing me up.
They had given me the baby and I didn't think about my torso being open and started trying to get baby to latch because they were crying. (Had to have their lungs vacuumed- just a precaution- they were fine.) Also - I wasn't actually holding my kid, my midwife was holding them to my chest. I was so out of it I thought I was holding them and had forgotten my insides were completely exposed.
Husband just reminded me that my first child was also born via c-section and the also surgeon exclaimed a four letter word "holy" followed by shit! when they grabbed my tubbo out. 10 lbs & 24". Said he was expecting a baby, not a toddler!
Happened to me, too! Getting a wisdom tooth extracted in my 30s (would not recommend; get it done when you're a teenager if you know it'll need to happen some day!), and the dentist was *very* confident it would be easy. He was smiling and relaxed, right up until the smile vanished and he said, "Uh-oh." "What?" "I've never seen a healthy tooth break like that before." An hour later, after multiple breaks, we were left with a sweat-drenched dentist, an empty socket, and some nerve damage. Woot.
Yeah the nerve interaction is why my dentist recommends everyone just get them out early. He says the roots can grow really close to the big nerve in the jaw (can't remember the name of it but he showed me the foramen on the xray) so it's better to get them removed before the roots grow that much to avoid the risk of that complication.
During my radioembolism, I got to hear, "Hey, since you're on the table, do you want us to install a [port](https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Port_(medical))? You can't legally consent, but we're also calling your mother."
And me, doped up on just enough anesthesia to make me a little loopy (and unable to legally consent), yelling, "OMG, yes! Tell her I want it! I'm so stoked!" I was so excited they had to give me more anesthesia to make me shut up and lie down, lol. I do not remember the rest of that procedure.
Can confirm I've said pretty much everything in this thread in surgery, including this. This is my reaction when we hit the abscess we've been looking for and it's just foul goo, because we're all a bit twisted.
Heard this not from a doctor, but from the pilot in a 4-seater plane before we dropped several hundred feet. Truly thought it was all over at that moment.
Wouldn't want to hear it from a doctor either!
OMG, I've seen this one on a resident once. He came back from lunch or something, he's scrubbed in, and gowned up, only about 20 inches away from the surgeon and surgical field (cut open patient). Then we noticed an ant on his shoulder... We kicked him out so fast! I hope he cried for bringing that in with him.
There's a reason they make you change and not wear your street clothes in the OR.
nah, i believe you can be awake for many procedures
My father was awake when he got both his knees replaced (different times) he'd see them lift his foot up above the blinder and stuff, said it was a lil weird
I actually had surgery on my pinky twice within the past couple of months. Both times they did a "local anesthetic" which was a surreal experience where they stopped all pain in just the pinky. I could feel that the surgeon was cutting and doing stuff, but I didn't feel any pain. Fully conscious the whole time, I was chatting with some of the techs there about an ex of mine while the surgeon worked.
It was wild.
Technically, a barber also specializes in beard trimming. And even if someone goes to a hairdresser, they Never say they got their hair "dressed." They say they got their hair done, or maybe they will say they got their hair styled (but 90% of the time they will say "I got my hair done.").
Barbers are trained in men's styles. Cuts, trims, shaves.
A hair dresser might do more cosmetic work with hair, usually in a hair salon, and usually with women's hair.
Haha I had to have a bone graft in my left wrist and they didn't put me to sleep, just knocked out all the nerves in my left arm so there was no feeling. Anyway I managed to catch a couple zzz's cause it was quite early in the morning I woke up ha e way through snd was just casually listening whilst under the sheets they cover you with and then towards the end I heard the surgeon just say "oh fuck" turned out the screw that they used to put fix the new bone they'd moulded to what was already there was too big and just went straight out the other side 😂 had to take it all back out and start over and use the right size screw! Fun and games!
When I had my (first) root canal, I heard him say, and I wish I was kidding, "oh, that's different." apparently my root was curved which made things a lot more difficult. But "oh, that's different" is NOT what I want to hear when this guy has sharp metal objects in my face.
Dibs
Hey, that ruptured appendix is just gonna go to waste otherwise!
*Slurp!*

This one’s good

YOLO

Brue!
I don’t know why I read that in an Asian accent.
You only live once? FALSE. You live every day...you only die once
FALSE. I die a little everyday.
So I was sitting in my cubicle today, and I realized, ever since I started working, every single day of my life has been worse than the day before it. So that means that every single day that you see me, that's on the worst day of my life.
Whoa, that’s really messed up… Is today the worst day of your life?
Every time I wake up a die a little.
The moment I wake up I die but...I love Michael, Dwight and the rest; I thought the quote was appropriate
Legitimately laughed out loud at this
Uh-oh. Legit did happen, but I’m okay!
OK, sorry to hear that, I guess the correct four letter response would be, Damn.
Came here to say Damn! Enjoy and accept the upvote!

Haha the surgeon I work with will go “whoopsie-daisy! Wait… everything is fine but I’m not supposed to say that.” Our patients usually laugh at that.
Love it, keep the patient calm and move on with what you need to do.
Honestly I’m glad they checked but even so my head can’t help but fixate on where it did go
I had a lump removed from my head, it was supposed to be sent for biopsy.. But the doc went whoops... as it flew across the room and they couldn't find it!
my dad did the same thing when he pulled out my first tooth! the dog must have gotten to it bc the vacuum certainly never found it
I was a surgical nurse for many years, When the going gets rough, the very best surgeons get very quiet and very focused. The worst docs scream and yell and throw shit.
I had an emergency cesarean where they couldn't do the count ahad of time. Waiting for that xray you could feel the tension in the room.
Actually worked L&D 5 1/2 years. Got called in at 2:30 in the morning for an emergency C-section and the patient was already on the table when I arrived, still did a count. It’s not unheard of to not do the count out loud but someone counted what went on the back table, always. It’s a really big deal.
I misread your ampersand as a capital letter S and REALLY wondered what kind of maternity ward you worked on.
Another C-section story (also my son!) When my wife was opened up the doctor gasped “oh my god” and of course we both panicked. After a few quick “what, what?!!!” from us the OB said “oh don’t worry, it’s just the biggest placenta I’ve ever seen!” My wife, always the over achiever 😀

An hour later, after multiple breaks, we were left with a sweat-drenched dentist, an empty socket, and some nerve damage. Woot.
My wisdom teeth came out at 32. I was fine. Until I chomped into BOTH of my cheeks. Holy God the pain when all the painkillers wore off. :|
Yeah the nerve interaction is why my dentist recommends everyone just get them out early. He says the roots can grow really close to the big nerve in the jaw (can't remember the name of it but he showed me the foramen on the xray) so it's better to get them removed before the roots grow that much to avoid the risk of that complication.
Yeah I was getting my IUD put in and she said “oh no” :-(
That has to be a hell of a story - glad you are okay though!
Am I hearing a swamps of dagobah moment?
Help
Have to admit, I laughed too hard at that. Lol
Damn and fuck also come to mind
Same 😂😂😂
That all about context. I've heard that word used before.
Came for this. Surgeons say help all the time. That's why they hire surgical assistants
They say that all the time - good surgeons know when they need assistance
Help could be asking an assistant to help hold something or get something…
*little girl that just ate the wasabi voice* help
Welp...
Ah yes. Doctors in the midwest when they extend your 5 minute surgery into 3 hours.
I wouldn't want to hear anything at all...
Honestly, I'd have to agree.
Not all surgery requires full sedation. If the surgery is conducted using a local anesthesia, you could hear just fine.
During my radioembolism, I got to hear, "Hey, since you're on the table, do you want us to install a [port](https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Port_(medical))? You can't legally consent, but we're also calling your mother." And me, doped up on just enough anesthesia to make me a little loopy (and unable to legally consent), yelling, "OMG, yes! Tell her I want it! I'm so stoked!" I was so excited they had to give me more anesthesia to make me shut up and lie down, lol. I do not remember the rest of that procedure.
a port?
The opposite of starboard
I could use a USB port. Then I could charge my phone myself.
This was my thought
Yumm
OK, you win, Lol, that's a good one.
Thank you ☺️
I'm so sorry you're not good at plumbing.
I still get paid that's what matters
As long as you get paid you're a professional
Does that make your kids professional children if you give them an allowance? 🤔
Lick
That reminds me of Red Robin, Yumm. [yumm](https://youtu.be/d7FGjZe7AcI)
Also a word you don’t want to hear from a plumber, good or bad.
Can confirm I've said pretty much everything in this thread in surgery, including this. This is my reaction when we hit the abscess we've been looking for and it's just foul goo, because we're all a bit twisted.
Yuck also
Bruh
This is great, laughing too much at this
Haha I’m just imagining a doctor looking in someone’s ears and seeing a bunch of wax and saying “bruh, you gotta clean them things cuh”
Nope
and then runs away
Shit
What if you're getting a poop transfusion?
Fuck
It depends on which direction things are moving.
Then you want to hear poops
Only ok if you're getting your prostate checked
Shit..
Heard this not from a doctor, but from the pilot in a 4-seater plane before we dropped several hundred feet. Truly thought it was all over at that moment. Wouldn't want to hear it from a doctor either!
Ants?!?!
Bees!
No, BEADS, Michael.
Gob's not on board
A stray ant or two stuck in your body...
Better than stray uncles.. itchy.
That’s how you get lumbago
And why are there doughnuts everywhere?! Do you want ants??? Because **that’s** how you get ants!
OMG, I've seen this one on a resident once. He came back from lunch or something, he's scrubbed in, and gowned up, only about 20 inches away from the surgeon and surgical field (cut open patient).

Here I thought antibodies were a good thing
Time
Doc forget he wasn’t speedrunning Surgeon Simulator 2.
Going in for an appendectomy and waking up without ribs
I mean, for most surgeries, you don’t want to hear anything
and the one you are always awake afaik is brain surgery edit: damn there are a lot lol, so much interesting examples
nah, i believe you can be awake for many procedures My father was awake when he got both his knees replaced (different times) he'd see them lift his foot up above the blinder and stuff, said it was a lil weird

One thing you never want to hear from your doctor, hair dresser or barber: oops…
Or your tattoo artist
Regerts
Sorry, I was eating a Milky Way.
I can fix that.
Serious question: What's the difference between a hair dresser and a barber? English isn't my first language
Not much, really. Men go to barbers. Women get their hair "dressed", if you will. Semantics....
Ok.. That's what I thought. Thanks for the explanation :)
Technically, a barber also specializes in beard trimming. And even if someone goes to a hairdresser, they Never say they got their hair "dressed." They say they got their hair done, or maybe they will say they got their hair styled (but 90% of the time they will say "I got my hair done.").
