I was presenting a patient to an attending a couple of days ago, and he interrupted me mid chief complaint.
"Q, what is this guy pre-op for?"
"Dr. M, he's not a surgical patient yet. We're trying conservative medical management."
He looked at me sternly.
"We're born pre-op. We just don't know what we're pre-op for until later."
God, I love surgeons.
