7. An addendum
to the story mentioned above, from Dr. Ron B., a physician now living in |

Alright Eisen, I have a better one than that. Some years ago while on faculty of U of I Coll of Med, Early in the AM a patient came in and had a lesion - peri-anal that needed cauterizing. He thought he would be kind since the area was sensitive and instead of using a needle and syringe with lidocaine decided to use a ethylene Chloride topical anesthetic to "freeze the area". He sprayed it and immediately took the small disposable cautery to cauterize it, and of course it flashed, singeing the mans hair on his testicles and anus. What was really bad was he was showing this to one of our really good first year residents who didn't say anything fast enough and embarrassed himself no end. After that he oftentimes would come to me and check about his procedures before doing things. The resident thought it was a hoot. It also had a bit of problem with credibility with the residents. P.S. The man had only a mild flashburn type thing, 1 degree at most. Thought you would enjoy that. You might want to use that as a teaching tool for some of your "haughty or arrogant" students in the pre-med program. Pride goeth before a fall. |

PM ET The
bride wore a white veil, a red garter and black neoprene. The groom, too, was
in diving gear, set off by a red bow tie. When the pastor pronounced them man
and wife, Brian Wilson and Christina Gunn took off their breathing gear and
exchanged a kiss 20 feet under the surface of the Illinois River in The
underwater ceremony was performed last week, the Grants Pass Daily Courier
reported. The
vows were written in pencil on a white slate, which were displayed for Pastor
Jim Bard, also a diver. "He
asked us if we did, we held up our cards that say, 'I do,' he pronounced us
man and wife, then we took off our regulators and we kissed," said Gunn.
"I cried." Gunn
picked up the sport after meeting him. They
chose their wedding spot, under a bridge, for romantic reasons. "That
was the first place we dived together," said A
small group of family members gathered on the riverbank. "It's
really different, I'll tell you," said Gunn's grandmother, Genevieve
Eppele, who scrambled down the rocks with her husband of 63 years, Fred. "I
told her, 'Can't you get married like normal people?' " said Gunn's
mother, Gail Stading. For the benefit of family members, the couple afterward
repeated their vows on dry land. P.S. The ceremony looked something like this:
