FX: WHISTLE IS LOUDLY BLOWN
SURGEON:
Christ! What do you think you're doing?
NURSE:
Whistleblowing.
SURGEON:
In the middle of surgery?
NURSE:
Ah, now that's exactly the kind of defensive attitude; the health secretary's condemned!
SURGEON:
Oh Jesus, you've made me drop the scalpel!
NURSE:
So? Just pick it up and carry on.
SURGEON:
It's not on the floor - stupid! It's inside him!
NURSE:
Oh. Well, then you'd better fish it out, hadn't you?
SURGEON:
Me? But it's your fault it's in there!
NURSE:
Err, excuse me - I'm not the one with butterfingers!
SURGEON:
Yeah - but you ARE the only one wearing gloves!
NURSE:
Listen, gloves or no gloves - I ain't sticking my hand in there! It's all yucky and horrible!
SURGEON:
Well, if you're not gonna remove it. And I'm not gonna remove it. Then, what are we gonna do?
BEAT
NURSE:
Use a spare scalpel and pretend this never happened?
