Today, I'm a medicine student, it's my sixth year, and I have spent the whole day in surgery. No one dared tell me that what I was wearing on my feet was actually supposed to be put over my hair. Which was embarrassing. FML

Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Today, I attended my first surgery as part of my program at med school. I found out that when I see someone's intestines, I vomit. Even if I'm still wearing a surgical mask. There goes the thousands of dollars I spent on college. FML
Today, I went into hospital for knee surgery. When I awoke, I was surprised to find a bandage wrapped around my throbbing head. The nurse explained that a student observer had fainted in the operating room and his head had smashed against mine on the way down. FML
Today, I nearly sliced my nipple off while shaving my chest and had to go to the ER. Turns out it was a teaching hospital so I got to explain in front of two doctors and eight med students how, even though I'm a woman, my nipples are so hairy I have to shave them. FML
Today, I had surgery done to fix an ingrown toenail. When the doctor started cutting the nail, my toe wasn't entirely numb. FML
Today, I had to get stitches on my foot and was then forced to wear a plastic bag on my foot while showering. The plastic bag made me slip in the shower and had to go back and get stitches in my forehead. FML
Today, while observing a surgery, I was asked to open a glass ampule of adrenaline. Not only did I break it and get it everywhere, I sliced open my thumb bad enough to need stitches. FML
Today, I spent the first day of my senior year in the ER because my new ear piercing got so infected that the doctors had to cut the earring out. FML
Today, I went into hospital and was being treated by a really cute doctor. Not knowing that I was going to end up here, I put on novelty underwear this morning. Well, at least he found the little green glow-in-the-dark skulls amusing. FML
Today, I went to see a podiatrist, two weeks after having major surgery on my abdomen, only to be told I might need surgery on my foot. FML
Today, while getting a hernia exam, I accidentally ran my fingers through my doctor's hair. FML

Afraid to tell you? More like they were all laughing behind the mask.

I'm in nursing school, and during our OR rotations, some kids make the opposite mistake, they put the shoe covers on their heads.

Actually that was what they made us do in one of the hospitals, when they ran out of theatre clogs.

They let you in surgery without a cap on? I call big BS, I went to vet tech school and if we couldn't get away with that with animals why the f' would you get away with it in human surgery?? And a sixth year? You are lying friend.

Well, I work in the OR and I would have told you. If not me, then one of the nurses or other doctors would have because it's a safety issue, the floors are slippery. If they didn't tell you, then it was to see how long you could walk in those hair covers before slipping and busting your ass; I'm actually more surprised that you didn't slip and fall. Shoe covers come with little grips on them here in the US, so I'm sure they do over there too. Also, the hair covers are rather large and loose, so you would have had to tie or modify them to fit shoes...it's kind of sad that you are a doctor in training...

Is the "Which was embarassing" at the end really necessary?
