I passed out the first time I saw one on the ward. I think it's the whole "OMG that's going into someones bone but I can see it poking through their skin" thing. Eww.
Putting them in is pretty fun though :awesome: Like adult meccano.


Oh I've seen those on the ortho ward, diddn't know what they were though. Are they only used for kids? I think there was one after a RTC adult vs car...
Also, I have Rome TW on my computer, for some reason the resolution is too large - so it distorts with a irratating red box floating around to tell me the resolution is buggered. I've tried everything I can, the screen resolution is right, I've tried changing it in the game and on the settings file and the uninstall/reinstall...run out of ideas now, any techies? pelase?

Definitely seen them on grown-ups: on a T&O placement we had a tertiary referral to redo and no-one could work out how to get it off! Until the anaesthetist dug out a rusty-looking gas cylinder screwdriver from a corner of the theatre and found it fit the screws very well!

That seems to go pretty well with the female requirement then. :p: (+ the fact that I said UCL males are :camp:smile:

Nah, but seriously kudos to you for playing COD even though you suck at it. :p: - Mario is amazing though. :coma: (No homo. :colonhash:)

The wii is a big no no though. :noonoo:


Wiis are fun when you're drunk. As long as you don't get too enthusiastic and start hitting people with the controllers.

I did get better at COD eventually :colondollar:

Nope, can use them for complicated open fractures in adults cos you don't need the same skin coverage as you would for internal fixation, so you can fix the fracture whilst waiting for plastics to sort skin grafting etc. You can get non-Ilizarov ex-fix's as well, with the same pins through the bone/skin, but external rods instead of circles (which were originally gear wheels off bicycles - the wheel spokes were used for the internal pins. I think Ilizarov was Russian, so he made do with what he had - they were supposed to be used to compress fractures, so they'd be winched tighter together to press the fracture ends together, but he went on holiday and his junior turned it the wrong way, so when he came back the limb had been lengthened, but the bone was still intact, so they started using them for limb lengthening stuff and holding fractures out to length).

They're primarily used for fixating complex fractures.

Or accidently throw the controller at the TV. :mmm:

Ahh, it's a shame you play it on the PS3 though.

Is that the same as PUO?


Yep, pyrexia/fever of unknown origin - PUO is probably more professional sounding though

Nope, in fact, I hate XBox about as much as I hate PS. :p:

What does your flatmate have to say now? :smug:

Quoted for failure of smiley usage.

Have you got a thing for homosexual men or something? - That's all you seem to come up with, + your ex is from Impy... :camp:

If you think PUO is a diagnosis and you think it sounds professional then you're the prick here.

An idiopathic or cryptogenic source of pyrogens sounds a lot more profesional...:p:
