Mental note -when going to see the nice pathologist to explain his extremely annoying notes on the files make sure this meeting does not happen anywhere near meal times.

Me: So what does this *point* mean?
Path: Ah, that's a liver condition. That reminds me, *scrabbles for pen and paper* must go to butchers after work..
Me: *squick* *SQUICK* *SQUICK* Ok, leaving now.


This is why the nice people in the Clinical Negligence department never ask me to cover for them.

Let's file that under 'how to know when somebody's been doing their job just a hair too long'.

Rather like the time Scully on The X Files was doing an autopsy and the victim's stomach contents made her hungry. I stood in my living room and announced "Honey, you've done one autopsy too many."

Took me months to eat pizza again.

My mom was a paramedic during my formative years. There's nothing quite like hearing about decapitations over dinner on a regular basis to expand one's concept of what constitutes reasonable table conversation.

I~ hear you on that one. My Mum is a nurse. Nothing like tucking into meatballs and being given the lowdown on a retina operation at the same time!

I reckon she tailored her stories to the food we were eating. Eating spaghetti = must tell them about a small intestine operation :-)

The medical profession can be EVIL about squicking. I'm sure they do it to amuse themselves

But I like liver. Fried, with onions and maybe some bell peppers.

Perhaps he was trying to gross you out. I know that is the sort of thing I would do...but then I'm evil like that
