Even more thankful mines always been a one way traffic thing. We had a famous case many years ago down here where a tv personality had to have a marmite jar removed. Yes, claimed to have fallen on it. Marmite was the most popular toast spread before that. Many changed to the Aussie vegemite afterwards..
Wow, crazy stuff. Funny how it's always men ... probably the best proof women have that they. are smarter than we are. 😜
Thanks for sharing that delicious bit of your history, Matt!
Hey, I remember us talking about a phone call back in the day. It would be fun to chat with you sometime, so what's the best way to go about it, do you think?
Yes Tereza, sad but true ... I briefly considered emergency medicine as a career, but don't suffer fools well ... turns out I liked my patients under the microscope. 😜
I had a neurosurgeon friend and an anesthesiologist friend. They used to tell me the weird things, such as you describe, to freak me out, which is pretty easy to do, apparently. I was SO glad I chose engineering. There is no way I could have handled the things you all see. I think my friends had a lot of unaddressed trauma from the things they saw. Both died young, rather self-destructed, in fact. I’m glad there are people like you who can cope with the weird stuff, but I am very very glad I am not in that profession.
I hear ya, Elizabeth ... I wasn't really drawn to the weird stuff. It just came with the territory. Pathology is a lot of puzzle solving and that's one of my few skills 😅

A friend was an emergency room doc and said this was a vast number of cases. I didn't believe him. Now I do.

Thanks for the comment! 👍🏻
Well, it did keep things at work interesting for sure! It would tickle my snicker bone you know before I fully matured and all:)
Ha ha you funny 😝
