Today, I heard my surgeon mutter to a nurse how easy it would be to kill me on the operating table and make it look like an accident. FML

Same thing different taste
Today, my surgeon was talking to me about my upcoming heart bypass operation. I was extremely nervous from the start, but he somehow managed to keep saying things like "death", "fatalities", "high-risk", and "never wake up" throughout. FML
Crossing a line
Today, my surgeon was giving me the lowdown of what was going to happen on the operating table. I was anxious enough without him saying stuff like "cut you open", "quite a bit of blood" and "it's all quite risky." That's all I remember before fainting. My wife won't stop mocking me for it. FML
Nice family you've got there
Today, while chatting with my in-laws, I told them about my upcoming spinal surgery. Soon after, when I went to get us some drinks, I overheard them murmuring about how many surgeries I've already had, how I'm a drain on the healthcare system, and how I should ideally just die. FML
Surgery gone rogue
Today, I was operating on a young girl, when she began to awaken during the surgery. We quickly put her back under, of course, but now I'm terrified that she'll remember my profuse cursing and get me in the shit with my curmudgeonly killjoy of a boss. FML
Today, I started to come to during dental surgery. I clearly heard someone behind me say "Shit! Get this fucker back under!" then another person mentioning they'd have to kill me to avoid "another lawsuit", followed by laughter and the blackness of sleep. FML
Today, while my orthodontist was working on my teeth, she made the comment, "Wow! It looks like a murder scene in there!" FML
Today, I asked my surgeon if I would be having a general or local anesthetic at my upcoming operation. He replied, "General, of course! It's gonna be a slaughterhouse in there!" FML
Unprofessional
Today, while at the hospital recovering from surgery, I overheard my doctor tell one of the nurses I'm so fat I could start a grease fire if left near an open flame. They thought I was still unconscious. I wasn't. FML
Today, I went to the dentist to get a tooth worked on. I got tongue-tied and instead of asking if they could anesthetize me, I accidentally asked if they could euthanize me. FML
Funny, thanks
Today, I was taken to the hospital after I fell down the stairs. The physician who saw me bit his lip and said he would have to amputate my foot, and I fainted in terror. One of the nurses later told me to "learn to take a damn joke." FML

In medical school he worried about passing as a surgeon, but he made the cut. That was bad.

To answer your question: NO. IT WASN'T ME. (but I've totally said almost this exact thing)

Come on. Everyone has those moments in which they think "I could easily kill this person right now". Or is it just me?

I read this comment 8 times and I'm still not sure what you're trying to say.

I have to put this in my Idiot-English Translation Engine. *whirr* *bzzz* *click* *DING* "If a dragon lays an egg, then the surgeon can only be silent if the baby dragon is born with blue scales. It's a metaphor for...um, for...uh, shit I have no idea. I've been snorting dried hamster poop, and I'm high as **** right now." You're welcome.

Doctors' accidents are red meat for malpractice attorneys. Even if the UK isn't as litigious as the US, I'm sure they don't tolerate medical incompetence.

You'd be surprised, anyone can be a surgeon here in the UK, all you need is a Stanley knife and a pair of gloves.

#29, I wouldn't be surprised if there weren't more than a few barristers that might want to cash in on the quack's incompetence.

True, but we don't class jokes as medical incompetence either...
