When the surgeon is angry because I took an extra few minutes to do an ECG and blood glucose on a patient with multiple heart issues and type 1 diabetes “before” bringing them to the room for surgery I just wanna be like….

Video: Removing the Cerebral Hydatid Cyst!
Brain involvement with hydatid disease occurs in 1-2% of all Echinococcus granulosus infections (tapeworm infection). Cerebral hydatid cysts are usually supratentorial, whereas infratentorial lesions are quite rare.

“Heart in a Box”
Transmedics Organ Care System:
Doctors call it a “beating heart transplant,” but it’s more commonly known as “heart in a box.” In the new method, doctors use a machine to keep a transplanted heart viable outside a patient’s body for up to 12 hours. The machine pumps oxygenated blood through the heart, keeping it in good condition longer.It was life-saving for DeStefano, New England’s first patient. The mother of two hopes to be home from Massachusetts General Hospital next week.Right now, about half of all donor hearts are wasted with the current method of putting them on ice because that can only keep the heart useable for four hours.
“Heart in a box” transplants are common in Europe. The device was created by Andover company TransMedics Inc.

JOINTS IN MOTION
As said by IFL science
Cameron Drake of San Francisco has created a collection of magnificent images showing joints in motion. He was aided by orthopedic physician Dr. Noah Weiss and the finished product is completely amazing. If you’d like to know more about the project, please check out Drake’s blog.

Hi there! I am applying for ODP at uni and I am super excited about it. However, my dad knows a lady that cleans hospitals for a living and she has told him that she always hears surgeons 'shouting abuse' at the ODPs during operations.. This sounds insane to me so I was just wondering if this is universally true!? Have you had experiences of surgeons being rude to or having a go at you in theatre? Sorry for the weird question haha! Thanks for reading :)
Some definitely do.
Orthopaedic surgeons have a bit of a reputation for it.
Personally, in my 6 years of doing the job, I've never been shouted at, by anyone. Sure, some surgeons get grumpy, maybe a bit rude, but you get that everywhere I suppose.
It has happened to others though. It's definitely not acceptable behaviour and if things like that do happen at my work, the surgeons usually get reported to the theatre manager.
