I was in a CABG today. We had just come off pump (off the cardiopulmonary bypass machine) when my attending came in to break me out for lunch. It is National Nurse's Week, so we have catered lunches everyday, so my attending insisted that I go get lunch at that moment before the food ran out. He added, "I saved you a brownie. It is on a plate next to the sink. It has your name on it." I left for the lounge to get lunch, and sure enough, by the sink was the biggest brownie, with MY name on it. Just when I was feeling bad about the people at work . . .
