I R an Anatomee Perfesser…


I just entered a request into the computer for a hepatic function test, AP and lateral chest film, and rib views for a kid who had fallen onto a pipe. But the doctor didn’t specify on which side he wanted the rib detail.

So I trudged my sore knees all the way down the hall, poked my head in the door, and asked the kid’s parents where his injury was. The mother thought for a moment, then pointed to an area in the upper right quadrant of the abdomen, right at the rib margin.

Like, right where the liver is.

DUHR.

I scare myself sometimes.
