Ancient lecture notes = hidden treasures!

Said by an infamous, somewhat sarcastic lecturer of his clinical career:

"80% of my patients survived despite my best efforts to bugger them up. Once I discovered steroids and broad-spectrum antibiotics there was no holding me back..."

And a comment in the margin:

"Ah, the married man: defined by his continuous knowledge of just how wrong he is."

Student chat during a very long, overly dry lecture on guns and ammunition in a veterinary context:

1: "I can't believe we have to sit here for another hour and a half."
2: "At least we know what ammo we shouldn't use when we shoot ourselves in 30 minutes' time."
Lecturer: "... and this one is very useful for kneecapping and stuff like that. Very good."
2: "Is it just me or have his psychotic tendencies suddenly surfaced?"
1: " 'GUNS!!' "

This is why I keep going to rounds

 Whilst discussing the treatment plan for an icteric dog...

Clinician one: "Is the dog ill?"
Clinician two: "Well, she's bright yellow..."
Clinician one: "Millions of people in the world are yellow and they're not necessarily ill."

Yeah, it does

During a discussion with non-vet friends about the "just why would you choose to do that?" aspects of our relative career paths - 

Me: "Well, in the future I'll be putting my hand in a glove and putting it...up...things."
[brief pause]
Richard: "You know, I was trying to see the innuendo in that, and then I realised that's what your job actually involves."

Forget Microsoft...

"You look like Ronnie Corbett's younger brother!" - Karmen to a smartly (if a little hipsterly) dressed Andrew.

"I think not. This is "Punk Office"" - Andrew in riposte.
