They left out being anally probed by space aliens. Other than that seems like a fairly complete list :)

Actually it sounds like a former porn star's name.

George Carlin has a good line: "By process of elimination it's possible to find the worst doctor in the country...and someone has an appt. to see him tomorrow."

"...1. Waking During Surgery Waking during surgery is rare..."

In 1958, at the age of 7, I woke up on the operating table in the middle of my tonsilectomy.
I still remember it quite well after nearly 50 years.

My wonderful experience:
prescribed a steroid (prednisone) when I needed antibiotic (keflex) for
a skin infection.
Nearly lost a leg to what a smarter doctor called "flesh-eating bacteria, Jr.".

Years ago... I remember reading about a woman in India who had a cancerous eye... so they removed the good one.

Many years ago, my sister had an operation, and was recovering in her room. The doctor came in and examined her. I pointed out that they had left a drainage tube in her side. The doctor reached down with his bare hand and yanked the tube out. He then wiped the oozing bloody area with a kleenex, and tossed it and the tube into the room's trashcan.
I was so astonished, my mouth was open. Then, he said 'She's fine', and left...

stay out of hospital. >

Unless I see a bone sticking out somewhere or copious amounts of blood, that's my plan.

3. Wrong Site Surgery The problem of surgeons operating on the wrong body location,

My first priority would be to stay away from any surgical hospitals that perform sex change procedures, after that I'll take my chances.

But there are a great many people who have been disfigured due to poorly performed procedures.

Curare (a paralytic) is, or used to be, given as a secondary anesthetic, in order to prevent the patient from moving during the operation.

My brother-in-law, the doctor, told me of cases where curare was administered before the primary anesthetic. The only reason they knew this was because the patient went into cardiac arrest when the surgeon started cutting.

"Waking During Surgery"

LOL! I never knew the doc had such a foul mouth and such brute force technique until that happened. Your muscles are frozen, but you're wide awake listening to one doc swearing his head off, as he yanks on yer delicates and the other one's are telling him to calm down. LOL!

[calljack]

What do you call the guy who finished last in his class at medical school???






















Doctor.
