When walking or working on top of roofs, be careful. They are high and you can fall off. That hurts.
We had a patient come into the OR with 2 broken heals, resulting in several hours of blood filled surgery to reset the 2 fracture with some hardware and fantastic display of medical genius. On top of all that, the patient was a recipient of not one but two new, shiny white fiberglass casts, one for each leg. It was the first time I felt the urge to grab a Sharpie and write a little note, maybe throw my John Hancock on one of 'em. I felt bad for the guy, but then again, bad things happen when you fall off roofs.
So be careful the next time you need to hang those Christmas lights, check the furnace vent, reposition that sagging satellite dish or check for a leak. Don't fall off.
