Orthopedics vs Anesthesia

Hot on the heels of Dr.Zorro, my masked hero, comes another but similar YouTube offering. My reason for sharing is because it pretty much mirrors life (well for me anyway). This really did happen, with a few slight differences, the first one being it was a real trauma emergency and the patient did not know she was Diabetic.

Sadly neither did the Surgeon. Obviously he did not understand long words, of a medical nature, but also on this occasion neither did the Anaesthetist. Makes you wonder why they keep a Lab Technician available, day and night and even weekends. Obviously DKA and 19.5 mmo/L (351mg/dl) does not compute, so we'll ignore it.
