Rambling...

[raven]

Have just been watching M*A*S*H with Pedar. I'm always profoundly grateful he likes the show so much... makes for many, many less arguments over the Sky remote. Anyway, in the couple of episodes we just watched, Hawk and Trap had to deal with a general who dies when... ahem... engaging in certain indoor sports with Margaret, and the duo have to somehow dispose of the body without letting the world know what the guy was doing when he died. Various other things happened... Trapper falls asleep on a gurney in the OR, which later catches fire. Radar falls asleep and gets siphoned for blood.

The thing is... Pedar claims that all these things have happened to him at one point or another. I can believe he fell asleep in theatre. I can believe he was siphoned for blood. I can even believe the theatre caught fire and they had to rush the patients out. However, I had my doubts about the other thing. He claims a visiting consultant died in the doctors' residence, whilst doing... something... and the Powers That Be had a hell of a time sorting it all out. Imagine the paperwork.

Pedar is, by all accounts, a very good surgeon. Does not, however, explain why he's broken his fingers four times while in surgery.

Remind me again why I don't want to be a doctor?
