+The Leprechauns Posted October 22, 2002 Share Posted October 22, 2002 Today I was listening to the radio while driving into work, and heard a commercial for a local hospital that touted their cutting-edge technology. One of the examples they gave was using "sophisticated global positioning technology" as a guide to assist orthopedic surgeons. Did I hear this wrong? I immediately formed a picture of a nurse with a yellow ETrex, saying "OK cut right there, doctor... oh, wait, the pointer just turned, move ten feet to the left.... uh oh, we just took a kidney out of patient 3, instead of removing his tonsils..." Or maybe the surgeons just use a GPSr to navigate around the golf course. If there's anyone in the medical field who could explain this, I'd be grateful. x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x What if the Hokey Pokey IS what it's all about? Quote Link to comment
+Planet Posted October 22, 2002 Share Posted October 22, 2002 when they tell the doctor that the surgery will be in the O.R. in the east wing he can find which way is east? Cache you later, Planet Quote Link to comment

+The Leprechauns Posted October 22, 2002 Author Share Posted October 22, 2002 Thanks, Scanogram! I knew someone would have a reasonable explanation for what I heard. OK. Now we can get off-topic and post more jokes about GPSr's and cache hunting in the operating room. October 22 by Hospital Chaplain (23 found) Found this cache in bad shape.
