    I have a few pictures of my leg, pelvis, chest and shoulder with amazing graphics from surgical teams which was oddly far more important than my one 1/2 iron man labels- Temp tattoos .

    I did ask a surgeon if they could autograph it next time Honestly love them but never ever want to see them coming at my bones ever again

    My observations are that they slosh Iodine over everything. Yep, even that & those.

    More accurately, Antiseptic solutions containing isopropyl alcohol, povidone-iodine, and/or chlorhexidine gluconate are most commonly used for patient skin preparation.

    Odd that you say that. Our 3 seater settee actually only took 2 hours & that was

    following the very vague instructions. But it was composed of of **** board & bolts & one part (end) was assembled arse about in a Training run.

    Oh yes, the cushions were a doddle to drop onto it. Well, you didn't think we wouldn't buy the cushions, that would mean sitting one's arris on bare **** board.



    Some of IKEA'S products need to be started when one is straight out of the Womb if you require it when one is first married. Is one allowed to say Womb? OMFG that's buggered it.


    I was going to say 'Torn it" but I knew you'd connect it to the womb, you being a medical dude with lotsa reference books, to see how many stitches were required.

    Thinking about this ................. I think the SOP was to put a tag on the limb, pre-op, witnessed by 2 or3 people familiar with the case, to prevent errors.

    There must be a better way than the Trial & Error method.

    On Changes in another thread had me chuckling

    "The introduction of horses in the firehouse was itself a controversial innovation that had been fought tooth-and-nail by traditionalists. Originally, fire engines had been pulled by volunteer teams of men and boys. But in 1832, when the Fire Department’s force was depleted by the city’s cholera epidemic, horsepower came to the rescue. “Not enough men, nor even supernumeraries, boys, and youths who loved to linger in the shadow of the engine house and be permitted to mingle with the hardy fire fighters, could be mustered to drag the engine to the scene of the conflagration.” Necessity, being the mother of invention, forced the FDNY to spend a hefty $864 on a fleet of horses to replace the sick and dying fire men"

    I enjoyed this trivia
