If a retail worker did that shit they'd get fired on the spot. What a shit show smfh.

[–] Mr_Dr_Oink@lemmy.world 21 points 8 hours ago (2 children)

Look he's been travelling through time and space for thousands of years and spent billions of years dying repeatedly in a time loop, i don't think he gives a shit about some patient in surgery when there's a chance to get his end away.

[–] HugeNerd@lemmy.ca 2 points 4 hours ago

Specially if he gets to tap peak Billie Piper or Freema Agyeman.

[–] SlartyBartFast@sh.itjust.works 5 points 7 hours ago (1 children)

He will tap 'dat four times

[–] Mr_Dr_Oink@lemmy.world 1 points 1 hour ago

A masterful joke.

[–] HeyThisIsntTheYMCA@lemmy.world 9 points 8 hours ago (1 children)

the everfucking fuck, he's an anaesthetist. anyone else in the OR can skip out for 15 seconds to fuck, he can't.

[–] echodot@feddit.uk 2 points 46 minutes ago

Yep it's in the rules.

Anyone but the anaesthetist. They are supposed to wait until after the operation, but the advantages they get to take their time.

it gets bigger on the inside.

Timelords are canines, confirmed

[–] RymrgandsDaughter@lemmy.world 12 points 11 hours ago (1 children)

honestly I don't even care, at least the doctor wasn't fucking the patient

[–] echodot@feddit.uk 1 points 45 minutes ago

That would have been better. The problem seems to have been leaving the operating room.

[–] quick_snail@feddit.nl 33 points 18 hours ago

Why did they put a time lord into the operations room, anyway?

[–] mavu@discuss.tchncs.de 34 points 19 hours ago (1 children)

LIES! Doctor Who would never leave a patient like that!

[–] smeenz@lemmy.nz 1 points 4 hours ago (1 children)

... left the patient to have sex with a nurse who was allowed to practise.

I presume the nurse was practising having sex with patients

[–] mojofrododojo@lemmy.world 3 points 1 hour ago

I presume the nurse was practising having sex with patients

yet another way the NHS is superior to us healthcare.... damn...

[–] Aceticon@lemmy.dbzer0.com 6 points 15 hours ago (1 children)

At least Doctor Who would've been able to go back in time and return with the nurse just after they left.

[–] HeyThisIsntTheYMCA@lemmy.world 2 points 8 hours ago

no when you cross the streams like that you have to reboot the series

[–] psycho_driver@lemmy.world 14 points 19 hours ago (1 children)

Was operation successful? Whatever it takes, man.

[–] viking 2 points 9 hours ago

Article says the patient was under general anesthesia and being monitored by the assistant anesthesiologist, the doctor was the main anesthesiologist, not the surgeon. So there wasn't really any risk.

[–] ABetterTomorrow@sh.itjust.works 53 points 1 day ago (3 children)

Doctor Who is getting nuts these days.

[–] Skyrmir@lemmy.world 2 points 13 hours ago

It's a devolving quest to repair their ratings.

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.

[–] aramis87@fedia.io 40 points 21 hours ago (3 children)

It was an anesthesiologist. And yeah, I'd much rather be kept sleep throughout the entire surgery, thanks.

[–] frezik@lemmy.blahaj.zone 40 points 20 hours ago (3 children)

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.

[–] Coopr8@kbin.earth 12 points 14 hours ago

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.

Oh, that tracks. They have a reputation among medical personnel for being the worst sociopaths.

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

[–] MonkderVierte@lemmy.zip 15 points 19 hours ago

Doctor Who left patient...

[–] CaptainBlinky@lemmy.myserv.one 100 points 1 day ago (11 children)

Bullshit. Doctor Who would never leave a patient during an operation to have sex. I'm not sure The Doctor ever has sex. Well maybe Tenant's clone but he wasn't really The Doctor at that point was he?

However, she was satisfied

Phrasing.

...that Anjum was determined not to repeat his past misconduct and considered the risk of repetition to be “very low”.

That old medical adage: Fuck me once, shame on you. Fuck me twice... You can't get fucked again.

[–] morphballganon@lemmy.world 17 points 23 hours ago (3 children)

I mean, how hot is this nurse?

Was the operation a success?

[–] Endmaker@ani.social 78 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago) (6 children)

Anjum was absent from the operating room for eight minutes and the patient came to no harm.

[–] Lucidlethargy@sh.itjust.works 5 points 6 hours ago

That poor nurse... With the removal of gloves, coats and other items, followed by the replacement of them, that leaves little time for her. This dudes a two pump chump.

[–] Carighan@piefed.world 29 points 1 day ago (1 children)

8 minutes? Disappointing. Hope the nurse found someone better.

[–] Susaga@sh.itjust.works 19 points 22 hours ago

That's why the doctor needs the practise.
