I, The Retractor

Equals



The retractor is a tool used to spread open body cavities to allow the surgeon better access into dark crevices as the surgeon attempts at legal battery and assualt while he searches for that gall bladder or that tumor in your body.

Surgeons are a strange breed and I won't presume to understand why it is there is such necessity to demean anyone just because, but it happens. There is a surgeon here, whom I shall not name, who likes to throw surgical instruments at Residents and students and cusses out anyone when he feels like it and he is in an ESPECIALLY bad mood when he gets woken up in the middle of the night when a trauma comes in. Maybe he has a miserable life and his wife doesn't give him head when he wants it. Maybe he likes to practice his dart throwing skills to see who he can skewer with a HIV infected scalpel? Who knows. I don't think I would like to sit down and have a conversation with someone quite so volatile. I doubt he is capable of conversation without the expletives.

Back to the question of whether you would rather a good surgeon with no personality or a bad surgeon who cares about people and is nice and not stressful to work with.
