Surgical tech here! This is one of those ‘prank the new guy’ jokes you see in the OR. I’ve seen play out almost verbatim to the OP a couple different times.

Original OP may well be quoting Scrubs, but I’d wager this prank predates Scrubs by a hefty margin too.

“Go get me a jug of elbow grease” kind of shenanigans.

I am quite certain the scrubs writers just talked to a lot of people in the profession and got their stories in the show. That’s part of why Scrubs was such a great show.

    Thanks for labeling this as AI so we know you can’t formulate sentences on your own and aren’t worth conversing with in the future. Makes it really easy to add someone to the blocklist when they’re the equivalent of email spam.
