When I was a jobbing Biomedical Scientist, on call for haematology/transfusion, I was bleeped in the small hours and asked “how do you spell staphylococcus?”

Slightly off topic, but went to do an anaesthetic assessment on a patient the orthopods had listed for a DHS. Slight problem, she had been dead for 3-days.
A condition I have not heard of called a-sys-toe-lee .

Martin Schranz had a different problem with a pager.
I was holding the orthopaedics pager for a while during my medical call and forgot , so I needed orthopaedics and paged orthopaedics and my own pager went off. So I rang back but of course the phone was engaged all the time . Took me a while to figure it out.
