Memorable quotes from Hopkins Chief of Surgery:
- On strategies for maintaining wellness: "And my son, he goes down to his x-box. I think he's having a war or something."
- On staying connected: "Sometimes it's therapeutic to find out what's wrong with everybody else."
- "To really learn how to manage people, take a 13 year old who just had their parents divorce and have them live with you while you are pregnant."
- "It's important to do other activities such as hobby, teach, teach golf" (Really? Teach golf? Who does THAT as an outlet?)
- "I meet with residents every Monday. I look at them - see if they are disheveled. For example, I diagnosed a guy with diabetes once. He had that grayish hue, and sure enough, he had a glucose of 600."
Other memorable quotes from chief resident:
- Regarding knife wound to abdomen: "M--- is post-op day 2 status post ex-caliber" (as opposed to ex-lap, aka exploratory laparotomy)
- "She has a Mercedes in her belly! And the Mercedes has a necrotic patch on it." -resident referring to a patient's $10k biologic mesh.
