Non Sequitur by Wiley Miller for May 31, 2014

What are you doin’ here? You’re still alive? Wow,………………………………. Um, can you help me with my laces, cuz they seem to be…

Doc: “It’s ok, my hot glue gun still works fine.”

My dad was a Dentist, now retired. He was seating an inlay for me and it popped out of the forceps and flew across the room to be lost… He said Hmmm… and proceeded to seat a temporary until he could get another gold one cast… When I asked him about it he said a Medical practitioner should never ever say Oooops in front of a patient or another doctor. (or I guess, judging from yesterday’s Non Sequitur, a lawyer).

No, the last thing you will EVER hear is Ooops !

Aw Geez. At Medical school, he tied for last place.

Just have to use staples – oh, hang on, they do …

Doc doesn’t know how to tie shoes. Patient doesn’t know how to tie the johnny.

Bi-partisan cooperation to create real progress that does not deny the inevitable fall of the doctor, but rather manages it in an intelligent fashion.

Velcro!

@wrwallaceiiMy dad was also a DDS. He was trying to extract one of my wisdom buds when I was 13 and was trying to figure out why it was so difficult. He took an X-ray and saw that he was tugging on the bone! He retired before the practice was crazy with insurance, Hep B, HIV and he didn’t need to wear gloves and face protection. And the malpractice premium on his insurance was only $50/yr. Anyway, one fear I didn’t have was going to the dentist/doctor.

if you hear an Oops, it probably will be the last thing you hear. lol

Nurse! Close this up please.

Have you seen my Rolex and my other stethascope?

The one I like is when the Doctor says, getting better! I hope not, your helping me send my daughter to college.

How to raise blood pressure.

How about…. ‘Now where did I leave my….’

The one thing I know I don’t want to hear when I’ve got general anesthesia….…. is anything at all.

Or when I rushed to the eye doctor for him to rule out a detached retina, and he scoped my right eye and said, “HOLY COW!!”

I went to my doctor for a rash on my back. He looked at it and said “Holy $#!+!” I said, “Uhh…you HAVE seen this before, haven’t you?”

You got that right. I heard that from my surgeon. Then he said, “Can you save it?”. In the recovery room, a nurse looked under the blanket and said, “Well, he doesn’t have one now, did he have one when he came in?” Such a laugh, surgery.

@ George Tirebiter

Better than hearing what the dentist is doing, feelingthat you can’t feel, and knowing what you’re goingto feel when the anaesthetic wears off.

I was having some “routine” surgery in Guam and right before they took me in, my wife and I overheard the Navy doctor say to a nurse, “what else can go wrong today?” Well, two hours into a forty-five minute procedure we had learned the answer…

Nice thing to read here, as I’m having cataract surgery next week.

Last thing I would want to hear would be the Doctor , on the phone trying to explain to a former patient that setting off a metal detector is “normal” in his case! :P

I can count mysef fortunate, then, that I never had ‘emin my head — only in abdomen after a hernia op. Notespecially painful, as I recall…. I don’t envy you!

This don’t look good run for your life.

Wiley….“Ice cream, we’re gonna have ice cream…”

Best thing my dad ever did for me was to bring Bill Cosby albums home from the radio station he worked at….Smother’s Brothers, too…..Yeah, I got bent early…..

Especially if you are under anesthesia.
