C-arm: The Mini Saga continues…

2 pm: Surgical corridor: Overheard snoring! Upon shaking the covers, heard the following conversations

Medical Physicist (MP): Hi buddy, what’s happening – why are you sleeping in this corner?

1/

Mini C-arm: Well, we had a good day, the surgeon finished early. So, they let me go & I was resting until you disturbed me

MP: How come you are not sulking like your big brother?

Mini: Are you talking about that guy with the flat head (c-arm with flat panel detector)?

2/

MP: Yes, he is the one around the corner, w cylindrical head guys (C-arm w Image Intensifier)

Mini: He thinks since he has flat head & is digital, he is better than the cylindrical guys. They said to me other day at the pub. That’s why they often desert him & go to parties.
