    I put the kibosh on the word "cadaver" during dinner in med school. Now, I just take a few steps away from him and pretend I don't know him when he starts to loudly inquire "is it your vagina? What does it look like?" whilst we walk through Target. You get hardened. I hear "Are you passing gas? Have you had a bowel movement?" in his phone conversations all.the.time. Good times.

      I distinctly remember having dinner with my brother during his first year of medical school when they were doing disections. He was telling me all about it and how embalmed cadavers looked different than those that were not embalmed. All the while he was unconsious of the fact that I was loosing my appetite.

        DH loves to tell the story of his cadaver, in which he found the ACTUAL cause of death vs. what was reported on the first autopsy (heart attack). It was some rare bowel disorder (where the bowel fills with blood and kills you instantly), and his med school professors had him write up his find for a journal.

          Seriously, you're not kidding!! We have the same dinner conversations here, and DH's sons and my daughter are RIVETED by them.

            We do, I started it a few months ago. You may have to look for it on the second or third page, in the Call Room.

              turns out, dad's been dead for 15 years. But where is he? Where, indeed.
              Isn't there some sort of urban legend about Keith Richards snorting his father's ashes?

                I read somewhere that it's fact, and not an urban legend.

                  But he denies it a few days later...

                  So, who really knows!

                    Good lord yes. And os course when you have an older patient population like G-O, you need to speak REALLY LOUDLY. Just today I had to plead with DH "Please do not scream vagina whilst standing in the order line at Panera".

                      I didn't realize this need to be in the warning label for Gyn Onc careers!!! I thought it was just my DH's lack of concern for public opinion. I'd never considered the hard of hearing bit!

                      Oh - and you don't EVER want to look at my DH's camera phone roll. He uses that to document cases - and occasionally take pictures of the kids - that I can never, ever show anyone without printing out.

                        • DH brought home a new term today "turf"

                          Apparently he was getting an insane amount of pages on call last night from nurses who wanted to turf a patient. Basically shove the patient off to another service.

                            lol. Nothing better than the awesome-ness of dh's gyn onc pictures flashing through on our desk top screen saver. Good gawd. They're huge and discusting things. And of course there are play by play pictures.

                            • Turf is a common in-hospital phrase, still used today in my world. Usually in reference to the ER who would like to get this crazy parent of a possibly seizing child out of their ER as quickly as possible.
