MELANIE WELL HE WAS THE REALLY GROSS ONE - ENOUGH TO RETIRE ME FROM TRAUMA SURGICAL NURSING. JOSH LET IT OUT - I’LL JUST ASK SAM IF YOU DON’T TELL ME - I’M CERTAIN HE WAS AROUND. MELANIE MATTER OF FACT HE WASN’T AROUND - HE HAD A DATE WITH KERI ACCORDING TO THE OTHER RESIDENT ANESTHESIOLOGISTS. JOSH WELL - TELL US HERE AT WEAGHMAN’S PARK WHAT THE HECK IS GOING ON AT COOK! IT’S DULL AROUND HERE UNTIL THE CUBS REALLY GET GOING ! MELANIE WELL THIS GUY FROM THE SAME ACCIDENT APPARENTLY HAD BEEN ILL FOR QUITE SOME TIME AND HE INCURRED BELLY AND CHEST TRAUMA MAINLY. HE CAME TO THE OR FOR SEPSIS AND WAS OBVIOUSLY DYING WITH A FEVER OF 107 DEGREES. THEY IMMEDIATELY OPENED HIM UP AND HE HAD MASSIVE BUBBLING GANGRENE. HORRIBLE SMELL - THE WORST IN MY LIFE ! WILL AND YOU HAD TO STAY IN THE ROOM RIGHT ? MELANIE WELL THEY THEN SPRAY THIS MENTHOL STUFF IN YOUR MASK WHICH BARELY OVERPOWERS THE VICIOUS ANAEROBIC SMELL. WILL I HAVE ADHD MELANIE. WHAT IS ANAEROBIC ? SOUNDS AQUATIC ? JOSH IT’S BACTERIA THAT DOESN’T REQUIRE OXYGEN. I REMEMBER THAT FROM A FAMOUS LITIGATION CASE AT THE UNIVERSITY OF CHICAGO LAW SCHOOL. VIRTUALLY CERTAIN DEATH ! MELANIE WELL THIS CASE WAS SO DISASTROUS THEY ACTUALLY POURED MAGGOTS INTO THE WOUND AND LEFT THE BELLY PARTIALLY OPEN. WILL OH - I GET IT - THE MAGGOTS LITERALLY EAT THE ANAEROBIC BACTERIA OR GANGRENE FOR LUNCH ? RIGHT ? MELANIE PERFECT - AND YOU KNOW THE GUY IS SURVIVING.
