Alcohol and The Doctor – Part 4

Please Note: This article is intended only for Doctors and medical undergraduate and post-graduate students. Non-Medicos please do not read this article.

A surgeon working in the semi-urban area at the district hospital had earned a great reputation as an excellent surgeon. But being a great fan of Bacchus (God of Wine) he used to start taking whiskey early in the evening and used to usually turn up for emergency operation in the night in a clearly inebriated condition.

But as no one question results, due to his good patient outcome, nobody stopped him. In fact, a myth grew that, more that surgeon is drunk, better does he operates.

Once by chance, the surgeon turned up sober to the hospital to do some emergency surgery. Noticing this, the patient’s relatives immediately rushed to the neighboring shop and got a bottle of whiskey. 

Offering it to the surgeon, they requested him to have a drink or two before operating on their relative.

Soon relatives of other patients also started following this practice.

Highly not recommended for any surgeon, however good or otherwise. This has been written only to forbid anyone from following this example.

(Based on true incident)
