I was supposed to be on call Wednesday night, but I got tagged to the wrong resident and never got called in. Of course this would happen to me. So, I took call for real last night. It was literally the best! I got to see someone whose forehead had been bitten by a dog, someone that had partial thickness burns that covered 17% of the total body surface area, someone who had torn the skin off of the right ear in a drunk driving accident, and someone who had a laceration across the forehead and broken both the right tibia and fibula in an ATV accident.
This all after getting to watch a cleft palate surgery and assist during a post-mastectomy breast reconstruction and contralateral breast reduction surgery on Friday. ZOMG, why is plastic surgery so cool!? ZOMG, can somebody please talk me out of having any interest in it whatsoever!? ZOMG, what is wrong with this craigslist post!?
EDIT: The "missed connections" posting I tried to link to just expired. Here's what it used to say:
Red Headed Boy, beautiful dead headed red headed boy. I have always wanted to draw constellations on your acne scars. In my fantasies I trace them with my fingers and a fine tip glowing pale blue line appears somehow. Libra, Orion, Virgo… Too bad you have bad teeth…
