Idiots. They walk among us.

there't this crap surgeon that lives in my town, and occasionally i'll see him at Local Big Warehouse Store or tooling around town. usually he's wearing his scrubs, too. like he likes people to see him in uniform or something. guy's a crap surgeon.

i had one of his patients come to me post-op for a lap-chole or something, cuz it went bad somehow. pt had the surgery, then, next day, something busted loose, pt had some non-responsive episodes in med-surg, crit was in the tank, moved over to ICU. put in a central line, take him over to CT. the Dinkus is there mind you, and even hung out while the CT was done, in the room.

well, we wheel the pt back to ICU, and as soon as i walk in, the secretary tells me, hey, the radiologist is on the line for you.

mmm'okay. already? i get on the phone, and he's like, dood, there is a MASSIVE bleed. Dr Crapsurgeon walks in as i'm hearing this, so i interrupt the radiologist and hand the phone to him. so the radiologist explains his dx directly to Dr Crapsurgeon, and Dr Crapsurgeon just tells me to 'keep an eye on this one.'

um, when the RADIOLOGIST interrupts his dictation to CALL the NURSE right away to tell you there is problem, there is probably a problem. i liked how the radiologist covered his bases in his dictation, too. he wrote, 'discussed dx with Dr Dinkus McCrapsurgeon,' just to make sure that, you know, this pt's death wouldn't some back to him. and in big bold letters, clearly wrote 'MASSIVE BLEED' in his dictation. i guess he got the feeling Dinkus wasn't going to do what he should have done.

oh, you're going out of town soon? isn't that odd, that you're going out of town soon, and you don't want to take this patient back to surgery, when clearly, they need it. OTHER doctors think the pt needs to go back to surgery, for pete's sake. sheesh.

pt lived, but whaddya know, another surgeon had to take the pt back into surgery the next day, cuz, gosh darn, that bleeding hadn't stopped.

Doctor Dinkus McCrapsurgeon loves to tool around town in his doctor scrubs so people can see him.

what a tool.
