As a medical student, our GI co-ordinator had time for a few questions at the end of our block, open floor. Being a somewhat precocious medical student I asked "What is the most interesting thing you have had to remove from someone's butt?"
Sniggering ensued but the Doctor wasn't phased. She earnestly recanted a story about removing someone's eyeglasses from his r****m but before that she had the xray and showed the patient that there were glasses up his behind. He alledgedly replied, "I'm sorry, I can't really make it out as I don't have my glasses with me."
Laughter ensures in our class; however, sensing a golden opportunity my hand shoots up for a follow up question.
"I have to ask," I say, "in that moment, how did you resist the urge to make a joke about hindsight?"
That was a fun lecture.
