My mom's signature is an absolutely perfect cursive first and last name, that she does super fast, and she doesn't have a short name, so I think I stuck with it a little longer, since she was the one who signed permission slips and what not.

Much respect for fine motor skills and people who work with their hands

The most impressive surgical skills I have ever seen was in a case where a woman was in a boating accident and her arm and hand caught the propeller going fast. So she had a ton of even slices down her arm and into her hand. They were traying to save her hand and a team of plastic surgeons came and sat down (rare for surgeons to sit in an operation). She was prepped so that her hand was out, palm up and three surgeons sat around it, think of it like as a 12, 3, and 9 o'clock position with 6 o'clock being her arm. Above the hand was a very expensive camera with a zoom lens and a bunch of monitors around them. Now, to the naked eye it looked like they were simply rubbing the tips of their fingers together and making very subtle motions with their hands. There was almost zero motion at the wrist. On the screen, with the high zoom lens they were throwing stiches and loops and all kinds of stuff to reanastamose all the small vessels in the hand, to restore total circulation so she would hopefully 1.) keep it and 2.) regain at least some use of it. That was an insanely impressive surgery.

Best to your friend Swickles. Hope all goes well.

Just got back from a four mile run with the dog. We pushed the pace and he did so great! I stopped for him a couple of times since we were going faster and he wanted to keep going with a big grin on his face :kimchi:

When I got to go into the OR to observe my dad perform surgery, I got to staple the patient's aorta shut. The stapler was literally a lightweight plastic staple gun that looked like something right out of Home Depot.

My mom has such great handwriting and the perfect cursive signature, and instead I decided to ape the worst combination of my dad and brother's handwriting styles.

My signature isn't as bad as my dad's at least. Definitely hit the first and last initials with a space between. His looks like a single four letter word with a cursive s in the middle of it, and there isn't an S in his name :psyduck:

Yeah having closed on houses and seen my signature get progressively worse over the course of an hour really makes me laugh (and get angry) about rejecting ballots for signatures "not matching" what you have on file for a decade or more.

My favorite part of the mortgage signing was that I had to also scribble sign my middle name, which I'm not at all used to doing and which completely threw me off

I don't actually know where they get them, lol. The bits and stuff are specialized, to be sterilized and ideal for bone/muscle and such, but one time a drill broke and all the other ones were in use so they literally sent an intern with the attendings credit card to an ACE Hardware (as it was closest) to buy a new drill. You can't buy just any drill though, because it has to be able to be sterilized. If I remember correctly, they just used an extender and a non-scrubbed resident held the drill while the scrubbed surgeon guided the sterile bit into place. That was a wild day and nowhere near the norm, and required a bunch of poo poo to go wrong for that to happen.

One day I will tell the story of the most ridiculous thing I had ever seen in my medical career, maybe even tonight if I feel up to it after a shower and such.

An old partner of mine picked up a dude in a car from a traffic stop, bleeding profusely with a degloved dick and balls.

He worked at a local sawmills and decided to drag his dick on a swift industrial conveyor belt, you know, for kicks.

He didn't count on there being a staple in the belt.

Ripped the skin from the base of his scrotum and pulled out a patch circumferentially and it was all bunched up at the head, testicles just kind of free of their flesh cage.

That is kind of whats done anyways, but the drill simply has to be water resistant for a variety of reasons.
