My good friend emailed me jokes and I really am quite taken with this one:
Things you don't want to hear during your own surgery:
-san yung gunting na bago? Bat may kalawang to?
(Where's the new scissors? Why is this rusty?)
-10ml? may nakasurvive na ba dyan? Sabi ko 5ml lang!
(10ml? Did somebody survive after injecting the 10ml? I said only 5ml?)
-doc, ubos na po pala yung anesthesia.
(Doc, we've got zero anesthesia.)
-kanina pa bukas yung tiyan, asan yung pantahi?
(His stomach has been opened for a while, where are the stitching equipment?)
-sunog! Sunog! Labas lahat!
(Fire! Fire! Get out, all of you!)
=========
I don't think anybody would want to hear those things during his/her own surgery. What really is alarming is that there are a number of cases that I've overheard how a nursing student or trainee accidentally miscalculated, overdosed, under dosed, misdiagnosed patient's medicine intakes or injections. I think, people who are in the profession of saving lives should be aware and pay special attention to what they are doing or what they will put inside a patient's mouth or through the dextrose. Life is at stake guys and you cant turn back the clock if something happens...I now remember what happened to Bambi when she was given blood transfusion with the wrong type of blood. Tsk, tsk, tsk. This is not malpractice per se, it's more of overconfidence or NFI or simply not thoroughly checking. But if this often happens, that becomes malpractice. Would you want that to happen to you or your love ones? I don't think so...so be very careful. This goes out to all peeps too since we should really be aware of what they are giving our own kin. Just to be safe.
