Because one person asked for it: Pingu as the surgical registrar https://twitter.com/chebbes/status/1337675989539762177
“Come on, come on, why haven’t we sent yet?”
Arguing that their bum abscess is the most urgent case because they’re “sEpTIc”
On their way to the wards after the foundation doctors ask for some help, but they just want to get back to operating
When the case has gone on all day but they’re still scrubbed
Having to do the drug chart when all the foundation doctors go to teaching
Consoling the SHO after a simple appendix turned into a foreverectomy
And being consoled by the consultant for their own operating skills
Storming into the anaesthetic room demanding to know what’s taking so long
The surgical house officers on call
The (sub-speciality) surgical registrar on call
Arguing about who’s case is more urgent in from of the CEPOD coordinator
Hanging around in the coffee room while the other team’s more urgent case gets done
When the tunes on the theatre playlist are banging
Time to apply for the mandatory surgical training PhD...
(We’ve all been in theatre changing rooms)
Another six months, another hospital rotation
When the boss disagrees with their plan during team brief
When they disagree with a junior’s plan during team brief
When they demand the anaesthetic SHO does their cannula while they fanny about, and the consultant shows up instead
Bonus: Theatre team when the grumpy surgical reg finally hands over and goes home
