In rounds this morning:
My boss: "Wait everybody! This is important. How would you survive on a desert island with nothing but a Bic pen?"
Overnight doctor: "Hey, can we move along?"
My boss: "No. How would you survive?"
(silence)
My boss: "You would use the shaft of the pen to funnel salt water into your butthole! Your colon would absorb the water, but not the sodium or the chloride. You could drink without getting salt poisoning. Cool, huh?"

because this hypothetical scenario is totally possible:
Oncology student rounds:
Clinician: "Okay, what are the five front-line drugs for treating lymphoma?"
Students: "Cyclophosphamide, Doxorubicin, Vincristine, Prednisone, and L-asparaginase."
Clinician: "So if you were going to randomly not use one of those drugs, which one would you eliminate?"
Students: "Why?"
Clinician: "You're traveling to a desert island. You have 100 dogs with lymphoma, and you only have room for four drugs per dog. Which one do you leave behind?"
Students: "..."
(In case you were wondering, the answer is L-asparaginase)
