What's happening these days

Step by step guide for when a consultant quizzes you during an operation (where there's obviously no sterile phone for fast googling: 1. Think of the right answer the first time, but second guess yourself 2. Exhaust all the wrong answers instead and have them laugh at you (fondly, of course, but still embarrassing so just remember to laugh at yourself, too) 3. That inevitable window of time when they have to focus at the cut up person in front of them so you'd have time to think 4. Literally cannot think of anything else (brain empty, nada, zilch, zero) except for that first right answer that you haven't offered yet ---stay silent 5. Surgeon remembers he/she asked the question after 30 minutes 6. Finally say that first right answer 7. Silent nod from surgeon cause you got it right, albeit very late 8. They might explain it further or they might not (again, cut up person in front). 9. Repeat steps 1-8 until patient's closed up. 10. Promise self to study later but end up sleeping right away as soon as you get home. Won't wake up until it's time for the next duty.
