Nice lol. I can always count on you for a good comeback.
I'm still getting laughs when I think about that nurse saying "toodles" as she pushes the plunger on the Versed syringe going into my IV.
Phil
Howdy All !
Phil, what did you break, your back ?
That is what happened to Bear Grylls (Brit survivalist guy) He broke his back parachuting into Africa or someplace when he served with the British SAS (((
Bill
PS: I did 4 years in the Army way back when but, I was not a paratrooper ...
Well laughter is the best medicine eg. Patch Adams ( but you might be better off reading up on the real Mr Adams ). In that regard doctors are on a spectrum with two ends from the socially challenged to the semi-natural semi-fools. Scrubs did a brilliant portrayal of that variance. :-)
Ah. Toodle-oo as in good bye until you wake up ??? That's a lovely old time saying, good to see it still circulating. Midazolam doesn't give you much lead time to flirt though.
Cheers, Mike.

Mike, yes, as in cya laters, lol. When they push the plunger I can feel a slight burn in my arm for a few seconds, next thing I can remember is waking up at home with my driver handing me a sandwich. There are good reasons they don't let you in there without a driver, lol.
Bill, 2 accidents as a paratrooper, back and neck injuries, 2 pile drived legs (proper english there) and a stoved up hip. I'm fit as a fiddle. I did several more years before it caught up with me and caused a medical discharge.
I've had midazolam myself for a minor matter. You sense a jump in the record* but no gap. In the original drug trials they had to show some participants a video record of the procedure to convince them they weren't being ripped off !
I just gotta mention this guy's work, calculating 527 correct decimal digits of PI over a 23 year period. As you do. Then he dropped a figure, literally omitted a single zero digit, and it snowballed. Darn! A hobby it seems. He probably didn't get out much. Given it would have been pencil, paper and logarithms back then .... what an effort.
Cheers, Mike.

Morning Mike! Sun will be down in a couple hours here in Indiana.
I'm all out of used parts to build machines. Got my eye on an i3 board, cpu, and memory on Ebay for 80 bucks. We'll see what happens.
Hey doc! Got my third injection on Monday. C7-T1. Think this one may have done it! I'll know in two weeks at next ortho visit.

My neighbor went in for 'chicken cartilage' replacement in her knees, she has it done every 3 or 4 months I think, she LOVES it!! I do the Cortisone shots in my knees when I can't stand the pain any longer, I guess we are just getting older and all paying for our earlier fun loving lives!!
I take a Vicodin a day, every day, and then supplement that with 2 Naprosyn's a day too. Long term chronic pain from being a firefighter for almost 24 years! There are only 3 firefighters, where I worked, on a fire engine or ladder truck, meaning a driver, an officer and a pack mule! I LOVED driving but for MANY years was the pack mule and also would not change a thing I did, but am paying for it now! And YES sliding down the brass pole 3 or 4 times a night IS fun, but the 120 dollar pad at the bottom does very little to protect your back or other joints!! In my town, Alexandria, Virginia, we had a max of 60 seconds from the time the bell rings to drive out the door, most of the time we were well within that time frame, people in the bathroom or sleeping tended to push that though. That meant waking up from a dead sleep, getting dressed, sliding the pole, getting into your spot on the fire engine or ladder truck, and yes we had guys on the back of the ladder truck driving, they are called 'Tiller Men'. In Alexandria every f/f could do every job, and we rotated usually monthly, but always at the officers discretion. Sometimes he just had his favorite driver though and you were the pack mule every day! I was on the cover of the International Association of Fire Chiefs magazine one time, I was loaded down with stuff and trying to operate the fire engine at the same time in the picture. It was a piece on staffing and who pays the price for minimums. It was taken after I had been on for about 5 years, but turned out to be prophetic in the end!
Some professions are just abusive physically, but in the grand scheme of things sometimes it's the only way to get the job done.
Also, the only reason I know Pi to a few decimal places is from high school. A guy in our electronics class won a bet he couldn't memorize Pi to 150 decimal places. From watching those guys go at it for some reason I remembered a few digits from the final recitation where he won.
This was the same guy who would sit in class and sniff jet fuel from a Testor's paint bottle.
And the grammar in this post stinks. I need coffee badly.

I know that professionally I am taking a minority viewpoint on this but, they should just
bring back the rack
.... or, if you like, I have performed that procedure thousands of times and it has never hurt me once. :-) :-)
