FOX PAWS Remember the time Dottie shook hends with Dr. Deeds!! How did she know he wanted the chart when he held out his hand... Or the time .Mossie combed the. diet kitchen for a tomato ripener Our less Gasch, once--it seems-- and ONLY ONCE, proceeded one day in surgery to change stools for Dr. .burink Without telling him. And, my dears--he sat down before she had replaced the second stool. Her face was very, very pink. While we are on the sjgcct of surgery--wonder if Coates ever learned that tonsil snares don't belong on the floor? Dudek loves to sew. In fact, she loves it so much she scwed up all the slits for the bands on baby shirts in the nursery. Were they tied up in there for a long timeJ!- T HStinkey Darlandn must not like our uniforms for she etc a whole meal one evening before she realized she didn't have her cuffs cn. Why Rose, you'know better. Willmsn simply doesn't know her anat- omy. We once heard her tell e patient that one gets respirations from the wrist. Tek, tsk. T, ' Our true Sairey--Sdirey Burr, is, of course, the instigdtor of the nemo. The time--probie days, the pleco--surgical ward, the reason --she evidently thought bedpin covers were made to leave on beds instead of to cover bedpdne. Did Holmes really throw s chart st Dr. Hnggmrt or was the chirt clamp loose ec she seid??? ' At any rite, first north hell ,looked like 1 snow flurry of chart papers for awhile. ' ' ' N ' A K I 'Member the night X Ringenberg darted out of bed to scrub for an emergency tonsillectomy! She c1n't forget it. Did Chilton ever squirm in her black stockings the dey Miss Bickle caught her kill- ing green snikec with hooks, hooks,on their tails for d patient with D.T's. Moral!-maybe the pdtient isn't dlvnys right. Mny'be the nurse isn't either. - - - We have to snicker up our sleeves every time We think of the clmer ri-cal who foke up the nchburnc, Moscic and any number of others by setting all the ilirms for 3:00 A.M. one morning. New who in the Wirld did it????? Ask mice Blike some diy--preferably 1 Tuecdmy next Juvember, about the diy who etc giving the vide-eyed,probies the prceedurc on bed- piinihg. It ctdrted thuoly--H Scream pntientn. Excuse please-- H3creen pwtientu. ' lxrge Hwrric his lewrned her leccon--yes, the ,herd way. Never leirc the miter running in 1 bwth tub., It ien't any' fun to mop flcfrf wt lO:ZO P.M.

Dr. Whiteley truckcd through the door with the stork lassooed and well in hand. Dr. Sherman Iillrams came in. His robe was massive. The angels could not understand why he had a tight belt in the middle. Dr. Robert Jones queried as to the whereabouts of the tiny cherubs. Dr. Macomber sat on a cloud waiting patiently for a Doctor fr Angel to trip and fall so he could be pressed to do a skin graft. Drs. Deeds and Kemper werenht even sociable, they were finishing up charts from the other world. , The Drs. Perkins were there en' msec. Dr. Jim was entertaininga whole flock of angels. The anesthetists Metz, Evans, Campbell, and Weirner were overcome with Nitrous Oxide L aughing Gas. Dr. Newman was developing a kyphosis from dodging the lower clouds. Dr. Lawrence was, explaining Neoplasms to an intent listener, and hr spelled out G+ArNPGPEfH just as he had taught the class of '42 tc spell epithelioma.
