Meshamorphosis
In this wickedly inventive episode , we dive into the surreal tale of Dr. Sylvia Samsa, the esteemed Chief of Surgery who awakens one morning to discover she's been transformed into... synthetic surgical mesh. Yes, you read that correctly.
Follow Dr. Samsa's existential crisis as she finds herself inexplicably stretched across Hesselbach's triangle during a hernia repair, unable to alert her own surgical team to her predicament. With dark humor worthy of Kafka himself, we explore her dawning horror as she realizes she's about to be permanently implanted in a patient's groin while the entire hospital searches for her missing human form.
Five years after her mysterious "disappearance," Dr. Samsa lives on only as a hospital ghost story and the inexplicable sobbing that emanates from the surgical supply cabinet. This episode brilliantly blends medical gallows humor with philosophical questions about identity and professional legacy.
Perfect listening for surgical residents on their coffee breaks... if they dare open the mesh cabinet afterward.
