That’s hilarious!

We used to page “Sue D. Monas to [unit]” when the RT’s pager wasn’t working.

I met a pharmacist whose name was Richard Ryder.

He preferred to be called by his nickname, Dick, rather than Rich or Richard.

Well, I come from the education world. However, when we still used intercoms (30 years ago)the secretary called a second grade room and told the teacher to tell the student that mom would be late picking her up, because she was “tied up” at the police station. The class simultaneously dropped their jaws and stared at the poor child.
Another time, I’d borrowed the school dolly to help with my move into a new house. The principal called on the intercom and asked if I ‘had brought back his dolly’. After all the giggles, I had to explain. Multiple meaning words can be lots of fun!

FUNNY!

I don’t know how I did it but I hit something and it published before I typed the last word.

This is it. Right here. This is why I was drawn to the med blogs. Oh sure…the educational posts/comments are interesting, the compassionate posts are heartwarming, but the humor… well…the humorous posts/comments such as this post and comment thread…are EXQUISITELY

She got Dick.

Oh, and the patient calmed down, too.

Diane light up a smoke after the whole incident too? “Was this takedown as good for you as it was for me?”

DEFcon 3 is a heightened alert status for SAC during the cold war. After JFK’s assassination, they went to defcon 3. DeathCon 3 means nothing, medical or otherwise. It is the equivalent of sending someone for a bucket of rotor wash, or going to clinical engineering to pick up a sodium-potassium pump. It’s hazing.
