Oct 4

When I’m washing my hands prior to doing an exam of any kind, I turn toward the patient and say: “I washed my hands yesterday, but you can’t be too careful, right?”

Another is when I’m doing some kind of invasive procedure. I’ll administer the local anesthetic, then tell the patient: “Now we just need to get Tiny and Crusher in here to hold you down and muffle your screams.”
