"I'm very concerned about my surgery, is the surgeon very talented?"

"Oh, he fucks"

"You mean that figuratively? As in, he's very good at what he does?"

"..."

Look he's been travelling through time and space for thousands of years and spent billions of years dying repeatedly in a time loop, i don't think he gives a shit about some patient in surgery when there's a chance to get his end away.

[–] HugeNerd@lemmy.ca 5 points 12 hours ago

Specially if he gets to tap peak Billie Piper or Freema Agyeman.

[–] SlartyBartFast@sh.itjust.works 9 points 15 hours ago (2 children)

the everfucking fuck, he's an anaesthetist. anyone else in the OR can skip out for 15 seconds to fuck, he can't.

[–] qarbone@lemmy.world 1 points 8 minutes ago

it gets bigger on the inside.

Timelords are canines, confirmed

[–] RymrgandsDaughter@lemmy.world 15 points 19 hours ago (1 children)

honestly I don't even care, at least the doctor wasn't fucking the patient

[–] echodot@feddit.uk 3 points 8 hours ago

That would have been better. The problem seems to have been leaving the operating room.

[–] quick_snail@feddit.nl 37 points 1 day ago

Why did they put a time lord into the operations room, anyway?

[–] mavu@discuss.tchncs.de 41 points 1 day ago (1 children)

LIES! Doctor Who would never leave a patient like that!

[–] smeenz@lemmy.nz 2 points 12 hours ago (1 children)

... left the patient to have sex with a nurse who was allowed to practise.

I presume the nurse was practising having sex with patients

[–] mojofrododojo@lemmy.world 5 points 9 hours ago

I presume the nurse was practising having sex with patients

A whole lot of you seem to prefer your narcissistic surgeon to operate on you while horny out of his mind. If he's got a boner to the point he can't concentrate, and I can be kept stable a few minutes, and he has a willing partner, be my guest.

[–] aramis87@fedia.io 45 points 1 day ago (3 children)

It was an anesthesiologist. And yeah, I'd much rather be kept sleep throughout the entire surgery, thanks.

[–] frezik@lemmy.blahaj.zone 45 points 1 day ago (4 children)

So that it's clear to everyone, anesthesiologists are usually the highest paid person on any surgical team, and there's a reason for that. Knocking you out without killing you is hard.

That said, the guy did leave someone else to monitor things, and wasn't gone for much more than a long bathroom break.

[–] Coopr8@kbin.earth 17 points 22 hours ago

Open secret of the surgery business is that the CRNAs (specialty anesthesia nurses) do all the actual anesthesia work, the Anesthesiologist's job is really to pick the anesthetic based on patient history and bloodwork, do the calculations for dosing based on body weight, and attend for interventions if something goes wrong. The Nurse he put in charge when he left was almost certainly already doing all the work anyway and he was just twiddling his thumbs with a hard on in the corner.

Do you really want to be operated on by someone who has an unyielding boner when youre lying there cut open on the table? If anything should be a boner killer I would think thats it

[–] psycho_driver@lemmy.world 16 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Was operation successful? Whatever it takes, man.

[–] viking@infosec.pub 5 points 17 hours ago

Article says the patient was under general anesthesia and being monitored by the assistant anesthesiologist, the doctor was the main anesthesiologist, not the surgeon. So there wasn't really any risk.

[–] MonkderVierte@lemmy.zip 15 points 1 day ago

Doctor Who left patient...

[–] CaptainBlinky@lemmy.myserv.one 105 points 1 day ago (16 children)

Bullshit. Doctor Who would never leave a patient during an operation to have sex. I'm not sure The Doctor ever has sex. Well maybe Tenant's clone but he wasn't really The Doctor at that point was he?

At least Doctor Who would've been able to go back in time and return with the nurse just after they left.

[–] HeyThisIsntTheYMCA@lemmy.world 3 points 16 hours ago

no when you cross the streams like that you have to reboot the series

However, she was satisfied

Phrasing.

...that Anjum was determined not to repeat his past misconduct and considered the risk of repetition to be “very low”.

That old medical adage: Fuck me once, shame on you. Fuck me twice... You can't get fucked again.
