Speed Bump by Dave Coverly for December 21, 2018

“Get me a half inch box-end…STAT.”

Worked his way through medical school down at the garage.

But at least at the JiffyLube they’ve got a hydraulic lift.

Must have been a mechanic before medical school….but where is his creeper? Makes getting underneath much easier.

I do not want that doctor.

This must be a VA hospital.

Dr. Gutman isn’t the same these days.

Getting behind in his work.

Change the oil while you’re down there.

and rotate the spare tire

The Michaelangelo of surgeons.

Large professional garages have floor lifts with restraints that allow you to tip the car 90 degrees to do heavy work on the bottom side. Stuff doesn’t keep falling on the floor or landing in your face.

Are these real doctors?

There is a type of back surgery that can be done by going in through the torso/stomach. A friend of mine had it done a couple of years ago.

But Doctor! That’s the fifth bed we’ve ruined this week!

When I had my neck surgery, I was wheeled into the operating room on my back, they put me out. When I woke I was told that I was put on my stomach and a 45 gallon drum, my hands and legs hung down the side. I am sure it was more surgical than an oil drum but the shape was the same. I guess that is why I was not allowed to see it before the operation.
