spinal surgery a few weeks back. The catheter was put
in during surgery. It was just fine, but they decided
to take it out.
Speaker 1 (03:26):
A little too early.
Speaker 3 (03:27):
So next minute, one in the morning, the poor nurse
is having to put a new one in via torch light.
And to top it off, they had just taken the
ketamine away.
Speaker 1 (03:37):
Now what why was she trying to put it in
via torch light.
Speaker 2 (03:40):

What happened? He said, Well, they were in the sharing
shed and something happened. Off came to fingers and dropped
through the floorboards as they all rushed out. As happened,
sometimes somebody rushed out while somebody called the ambulance to
retrieve the fingers incase they might be able to stitching back.
