REMOVE FRAGMENT OF SPACESHIP FROM PATIENT

Checklist:

Did you sterlize the surrounding skin with povidone iodide solution? Did you stop all bleeding from broken blood vessels? Are the patient's vital signs acceptable? Has the patient been anesthetized? Have xrays and CAT scans been performed to localize fragments of the spaceship and guide you on the placement of internal organs?



Reaching into the wound with forceps you grasp a strange object that emits a mysterious pulsating blue light. It appears to be metal but is lightweight, as if it were styrofoam.

The wound is then closed with dissolving sutures.
