playing operation

oddly enough i never liked the game Operation, i used to suck at it, id keep hitting the sides and lose

one night in the ER in the middle of a redneck town i was minding my own business when 2 ambulances rushed through and brought my patients in. the first was a white male about 25, big guy with blood all over his face, second was a mexican male about 30 with half his earlobe missing.

so the paramedic looks at me and hes like it was a great barfight, the guy with the nose really needs help, we think his nose is broken and theres a bone sticking out of it but we dont know if its his bone or the guy that nailed him

being a medical student you cant pass that one up, so i walk in, and find out that this guys a bouncer who was minding his own business when he got tapped on the shoulder and decked when he turned around. so i sterilize the area and stop the bleeding and numb it, to have a look, and yep, theres a piece of bone just sticking out, i take a tweezer and tug and it , it doesnt budge, so i take a scissor, snip off the bone and hand it to him. yea that was definitly yours, not his, sorry bud. i stop the bleeding, suture the nose and send him home
