i've got old eyes

[q-school]

on the top of the forum, there are a bunch of doctor shadow cartoons.

what's going on with the first guy in the v neck scrubs?  does he have an ice cream in his crotch?  is it drawstrings for scrub pants?  is it a phone? enquiring minds want to know.

Clearly a shampoo bottle.  "I slipped getting out of the shower!"

I've always wondered about the one in the front.  Is he reaching out to shake someone's hand or preparing to use the Force to choke someone?  An administrator?  Fellow doc?  Patient's family member?  Or maybe just a patient who has self-diagnosed on WebMD.

Shame on you - I read that while I was drinking hot coffee! And can't quit laughing...

Looks like a phone to me. You clearly haven't spent much time looking at shampoo bottle x-rays. The bottle is usually found lower in the pelvis and is always centered.

I think I may have just grossed out Johanna again.

And the guy in the middle is offering a hand of assistance to doctors who need help with their finances. Force choking is done with a higher hand position, the hand rotated more horizontally and the index finger and thumb closer together. Am I the only one here who has already bought tickets to Star Wars 8?

Before I get grossed out, I first need to figure out what the heck you're talking about, like what a shampoo bottle and a pelvis have in common.

I'll be pleased to enlighten you with a big nose smiley face :O)

And moving this thread to the lounge....

OMG (audible gasp)

That's not photo-shopped?

@q-school - #Overflow, or #NoOverflow. That is the ultimate question, if you're a physician dad.

Jim would probably get this reference, if he had any time to spend on Facebook.

That was awesome. Always fun to enlighten people.

A colorectal surgery friend of mine has numerous hilarious stories about his ER calls.

OMGosh.  Audible laughing along with Johanna and an "I wouldn't believe it if I hadn't seen it."

I am grateful that my big-nose smiley face may now become famous.  :O)

I have no idea if that particular image is photoshopped, but there is an entire book out there with images that are not.

My personal favorites are fruits and vegetables. It's really gratifying to get an apple out with a vaginal speculum and ring forceps and save the patient a laparotomy (surgery).

It's not always funny though. My very first rectal foreign body patient (I was an MS4) died of sepsis. It can be pretty serious, especially since most people are so embarrassed they delay coming in.

Pathology is kind of the resting place for these things once they come out. There was a pretty epic broom story at a former institution. Rumor has it that it ended up above the diagram. Apparently they did ok...

That is a weird place for a phone though.
