"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?"
"..."
If a retail worker did that shit they'd get fired on the spot. What a shit show smfh.
Pretty sure if a retail worker was caught performing surgery, they'd be arrested.
Harharhar you're so funny I'm belly laughing right now.
Much harder to replace a trained anaesthetist than a retail worker, though.
Not a good excuse
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.
Specially if he gets to tap peak Billie Piper or Freema Agyeman.
He will tap 'dat four times
A masterful joke.
Best comment in this entire conversation thread!
the everfucking fuck, he's an anaesthetist. anyone else in the OR can skip out for 15 seconds to fuck, he can't.
15 seconds?
oh look at johnny 20 seconds here
TIL Doctor Who fucks.
it gets bigger on the inside.
Timelords are canines, confirmed
honestly I don't even care, at least the doctor wasn't fucking the patient
That would have been better. The problem seems to have been leaving the operating room.
Why did they put a time lord into the operations room, anyway?
Who is this doctor anyways‽
LIES! Doctor Who would never leave a patient like that!
... left the patient to have sex with a nurse who was allowed to practise.
I presume the nurse was practising having sex with patients
I presume the nurse was practising having sex with patients
yet another way the NHS is superior to us healthcare.... damn...
Doctor Who is getting nuts these days.
Per the headline, it seems he's giving nuts more than getting nuts. But maybe both?

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

Was operation successful? Whatever it takes, man.
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.
