You arse piece!
I was with "Doris" for the entire time. While inducing her anesthetic the Anesthesiologist commented.."this would be less dangerous if you weren't so very large" as she was drifting off to sleep. I gave him the stink eye and the nurse working with him said "WHY THE HELL DID YOU HAVE TO SAY THAT FOR? LARGE!!!!" He got defensive and said that that was because she is so huge and that it is really hard to maintain her airway when her breasts and stomach are pushing up onto her chest. I was silent during this and piped up and said "what does she weigh"? At which point he said 16 stone/224lbs. I then smiled and said "oh that's nothing I was 24 stone/341". Silence descended on the room and he sheepishly said "you had that lapband thingy didn't you"? "Fuck no! I had the Duodenal Switch operation" I then had to explain it by which time all the theater staff had shared looks of horror.....yeh it was a big op folks. The next question was "since your surgery how many complications have you had"? I had the pleasure of telling them that aside from two episodes of bacterial overgrowth nothing and my bloods are better then 99% of the population.
After surgery the surgeon looked at my sleeping patient "Doris" and said "I really need to talk to her about her weight". I told him not to bother....I had it covered.
I am surrounded by arse pieces!
