Scrappiness

It was a delivery but Anders and I finally succeded in presenting our Evidence Based Medicine project about the indwelling urinary catheters. Since the topic was a little trivial (at least for us, since we make fun so seriously) Anders added to the presentation some visual effects which made me laugh even during the speech, and I enriched some important slides with pictures of catheters to frame the main statements. The presentation ended with people applauding and laughing... and since Anders' and my gigantic faces and names were peering from the last slide, every doctor that was there now knows us. Indeed Gunnar, one of the colorectal surgeons, the day after was very happy to make me scrub in and assist him and Britt in a nice operation in which, at a certain moment and then till the end, I had to play the part of the second operator. Cool! But this is another story, let's go back to the evening of the presentation.
We also had to oppose another group presenting another project but, instead of making some serious questions, we asked why they have focused their research on the sexual function (as a marker of quality of life) after castration if their case-patient was 82 yrs old. Obviously they were so tense that tried even to answer our question, so I had to interrupt them laughing and saying that it was a joke... "You are mean!", they said after.
However we were so good (and modest) that even one of our supervisors made public compliments to us saying that we had made an excellent work. Anders told me that he had fun preparing the EBM... well, me too but I'm glad it's finished.
