I began writing this blog before my Dr. D was actually a doctor, as a way to chronicle our journey through med school as partners, as best friends, and as people who generally seek to enjoy the little things that make life awesome. We are still those same people, but now he's an intern in a five-year residency. And residency? It's no cake-walk, so all the more important to seek out and enjoy those little things... and laugh a lot along the way. This blog is here to show you how we do it.
Apparently the phenomenon he was referring to occurs when the bone in a limb is broken or shattered to the point where it's not connecting with the other bones it's supposed to. When the limb is subsequently examined in the ER, it gives the entire limb a "noodley" (?!!?) sensation when moved.
Blood, guts, and foreign objects sucked into noses and aspirated into lungs are hunky-dory, but the noodley limbs on D's trauma rotation are apparently out of his comfort zone.
