Editor’s Note:

Over the past few weeks I have been collecting a few odd catch phrases or comments being tossed around during the course of open-heart surgery.

Taken out of context- and without knowing the people in the discussion- the quotes themselves are intriguingly odd and non-sequitror.   But they are appropriately funny or relevant in the moment- so I thought I would share some of them..

Feel free to leave a comment or two of the humorous or outrageous things that are bantered during the day @ your hospitals 🙂
