A whole lot of you seem to prefer your narcissistic surgeon to operate on you while horny out of his mind. If he's got a boner to the point he can't concentrate, and I can be kept stable a few minutes, and he has a willing partner, be my guest.
It was an anesthesiologist. And yeah, I'd much rather be kept sleep throughout the entire surgery, thanks.
So that it's clear to everyone, anesthesiologists are usually the highest paid person on any surgical team, and there's a reason for that. Knocking you out without killing you is hard.
That said, the guy did leave someone else to monitor things, and wasn't gone for much more than a long bathroom break.
Open secret of the surgery business is that the CRNAs (specialty anesthesia nurses) do all the actual anesthesia work, the Anesthesiologist's job is really to pick the anesthetic based on patient history and bloodwork, do the calculations for dosing based on body weight, and attend for interventions if something goes wrong. The Nurse he put in charge when he left was almost certainly already doing all the work anyway and he was just twiddling his thumbs with a hard on in the corner.
I coulda done it faster
They also have more scrutiny and paperwork.
Oh, that tracks. They have a reputation among medical personnel for being the worst sociopaths.
During the sexergy.
Do you really want to be operated on by someone who has an unyielding boner when youre lying there cut open on the table? If anything should be a boner killer I would think thats it
