Abstract
This Tuesday morning, Dr. Ferdinand just couldn’t get out of bed on time. He had slept so deeply that he didn’t hear his alarm clock. He only managed to move into the bathroom after his girlfriend warned him for the second time that he was going to be late. Then everything had to go really quickly – the coffee was too hot to drink, no time for toast. He heaved himself onto his bike and stopped at the baker to pick up some fresh bagels before finally arriving at the hospital somewhat on time. Dr. Ferdinand was an anesthesiology resident in a large city hospital and already in his fourth year. Thank goodness, there were no complicated cases on his schedule for the day. He knew already that the first patient was to have a proctocolectomy with pouch placement.
