Have you fallen asleep at work?

18. When I would get called in late nite, waiting for the patient to arrive.....

I'd be sitting behind the computer screen........... boop, gone.... I usually awake just as the door flung open, patient and crew busted in and it was "SHOW TIME"!!!!!!!!!!! That would wake you up real fast....
I remember a resident told me he was in surgery retracting a part of the abdomen and he fell asleep standing there. He was on the tail end of a 36 hour shift with little to no sleep. He said he woke up being flung across the room by the surgeon.. Apparently he released his grip and the wound closed on the surgeons hands...... scary shit..
