Today, I'm having heart surgery. The doc came in, donut in one hand and papers in another. While I was filling them out, his hands kept trembling, and he dropped the donut on the floor. He fumbled to pick it up and kept eating. The guy I'm entrusting my life to doesn't even respect the five-second rule. FML

I'd be more concerned about his trembling hands considering you're having heart surgery...

If it was that doctor, he obviously did a good enough job. You're still here to write this FML after all.

OP could have written the FML before the operation started.

49 is right. OP may have had the FML app and could've easily posted it as his last dying words before surgery.

You can request a different doctor in most hospitals. I hope you made the smart decision.

If he screws up, perhaps you'll go to the trauma ward. Maybe then DocBastard will do your surgery. :)

Eating anything in front of a patient who has been fasting overnight is cruel, showing the trembling hands is silly, but eating something off a hospital floor is despicable. This story hurts me so much I can't even make a joke out of it. When you go for you follow up appointment, make sure to thank him on my behalf for making surgeons look like assholes.

After seeing your replies to many of the health related FML posts, I have to say I honestly respect you as a doctor. You seem to actually value what being a doctor means, instead of joining the profession to simply hold a prestigious title or make a lot of money. I've dealt with many doctors who either discriminate against me due to my age, or throw a random concoction of pills at me and hope they work. I learned my two most recent prescriptions, when mixed, increase the chance of having a seizure by quite a bit (Tramadol and a cyclobenzaprene). It's just nice knowing some doctors do actually care. Kudos to you, Doc.

It's not like the donut was sterile anyways, and unless he dropped it into a pool of pathogenic bacteria, you probably don't have anything to worry about since you need a certain number of bacteria to cause an infection anyways. I'd be more concerned about the fact that he was shaking so hard that he dropped the donut in the first place. Or that he was joking about it at all.
