Radiology
I learned one of Radiology's secrets tonight:
"They keep me inebriated and periodically tazer me."
Hmm, that explains a lot.... :)

Yesterday's Unhelpfulness with Cars
Yesterday after work, I had to go to my Ethics class. As I was parking, I noticed a guy looking under the hood of his car, fiddling with things. So, I got out of my car and went to see if I could help....
Jen: "Are you okay?"
Guy: "Yeah, my ... *blah blah blah blah* ... pressure ... *blah blah blah* ... hydraulics ... *blah blah blah* ..."
Jen: *blinks* "Do you need a phone to call someone?"
Guy: "Nope, got my own phone. I'm okay." *smiles*
Jen: *recognizing her utter uselessness* *smiles* "Okay."
Guy: "Thanks, though."
Jen: "No problem."

Yesterday's Faux Pas
Yesterday, one of our nurses came looking for one of my surgeons.
Jen: "Oh, he's at a meeting, but he'll be home soon."
He works long hours, but I'm not sure he considers his office to be "home". Oops.

Humor at Doctor's Appointment
Yesterday, I went to my PCP's office. We had a conversation about pregnancy:
Jill: "Are you guys trying again to get pregnant?"
Jen: "Well, we are getting divorced...."
Jill: "Oh. So, are you going to try to get pregnant again?"
Jen: *blinks* "Yeah, I figured I'd just go to the nearest bar, pick up some guy...."
Jill: "Jen!"
