Marshall Veteran Posted March 20, 2011 Veteran Share Posted March 20, 2011 A mechanic was removing a cylinder-head from the motor of a Harley motorcycle when he spotted a well-known cardiologist in his shop. The cardiologist was there waiting for the service manager to come and take a look at his bike when the mechanic shouted across the garage. "Hey, Doc, want to take a look at this?" The cardiologist, a bit surprised, walked over to where the mechanic was working on the motorcycle. The mechanic straightened up, wiped his hands on a rag and asked, "So Doc, look at this engine. I open its' heart, take the valves out, repair any damage, and then put them back in, and when I finish, it works just like new. So how come I make $39,675 a year and you get the really big bucks ($1,695,759) when you and I are doing basically the same work?" The cardiologist paused, smiled and leaned over, then whispered to the mechanic..... "Try doing it with the engine running." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

*RedBull* Posted March 21, 2011 Share Posted March 21, 2011 But....the engine's not running in a patient undergoing open heart surgery....JUST SAYING... I mean I know it's a joke..supossedly...but come on, facts are facts. A patient undergoing Open heart surgery experiences the heart being stoppped to have the heart switched out or even to just scrub the vessels. http://www.texasheartinstitute.org/hic/topics/proced/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A patient undergoing Open heart surgery experiences the heart being stoppped to have the heart switched out or even to just scrub the vessels. http://www.texasheartinstitute.org/hic/topics/proced/ :huh: Ok, I'll explain it for you. When the doctor says "Try doing it with the engine running," engine here refers to a person's whole body, not just the heart. A person's body (engine) is still operating (running) during a heart transplant... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
