intern adventure day:

Our boss gave the interns all the same day off one day in January, at approximately the midpoint of the internship. The other doctors in the hospital (kindly) chipped in to ensure that we all got to leave a little early the day before.

This was so we could drive to a local resort casino, where we had rented rooms for the night.

The surgeon instructed the surgery intern to leave early after all the surgeries were done. This happened:

Surgeon: "Okay, get on your way. I'll finish up here. Thanks for your help today."

Intern: "Thanks! I SOAPed everyone and hung the treatment sheets for tomorrow. All that has to be done is rounding the overnight doctor when she gets here."

Surgeon: "Rounding the overnight doctor?"

Intern: "...yes?"

Surgeon: "Okay...wait, who's in the hospital?"
