    I’m sure the operating room conversation went like this:

    “Dr. Larry, we’re operating on the left knee, aren’t we?” said Dr. Curly.

    “Right” said Dr. Larry.

    It would have been Dr. Saul

    Sounds like a knee jerk reaction to me.

    instead of one, how about free? afterall, you’d have to include the extra time and effort to reset the operating room w/another set of untensils/equipment. so do we extend his repair time for twice the amount at the hospital expense?

    um…um…

    so, was the first one for training purposes? and the second one for real?
