Sound Byte from the NSICU

Standing outside the room of a patient with ESRD:

Ortho Intern, looking at what appears to be a foley bag-- "What would you rather do... Lick the floor of Trauma 2 after an alpha activation... Or drink some of that man's urine?"

Me-- "That man's in end stage renal disease. That's not his urine. That's a rectal tube. I'll take the floor of Trauma 2."
