Ready for Halloween

Found this gem while shopping at the Saturday Market in Portland, OR this past weekend. There should still be time for you to get yours if you act fast. While there's a few medical devices, the kitchen appliances (especially the meat cleaver) and the office supply devices (like scissors) were particularly popular. Shipping will set you back about $6.

Addendum: I have no commercial (only fun) interest in the Spoonman Creation's operation.

Be Careful Out There This Weekend

... especially while driving. You never know when you might encounter a reluctant dragon:

This little guy was found roaming our halls.

P.S.: Remember to get those posts in for next week's Grand Rounds by midnight on 31 Oct 2010!

Pumpkin Envy

There's more where that came from here as well as a tutorial from artist-sculptor Ray Villafane.

Incredible.

Hauntings

Some haunting things doctors hear:

"Doctor, why is Mr. Smith's blood pressure so low?"

"Doctor, your patient hasn't had a bowel movement in three weeks. Could you disimpact him?"

In the patient with insulin-dependent diabetes: "Blood sugar? Why do I need to check his blood sugar?"

As you find your patient with severe chronic obstructive pulmonary disease moribund on rounds: "It was just a little sleeping pill."

"Doctor, what are those little bugs in his hair?"

"Doctor, I saw a sad face next to your name on RateMD.com."

"I know you guys have been incredibly productive lately, but we're sorry guys, we have to cut your pay 10% next year."

Happy Halloween!
