A Surgeon and a Bear Walk Into a Bar

The case is winding down. Your judgment tells you that it would be helpful to place a Penrose drain.
Stop!
Hold the presses!
Don’t press that “send” button!
Who the heck was Penrose? Why is this ubiquitous piece of rubber called a Penrose?
Why have you uttered the name “Penrose” thousands of times without any knowledge of the individual who came up with the idea of soft rubber drainage?
Have you ever been mauled by a bear?
Have you ever been accused of murder?
Did you ever sit in a jail waiting to be hanged?
Did you ever go up against the medical establishment in order to make a procedure safer?
If you’ve done those things–Mazel Tov!–then don’t waste your time with this video.
If you haven’t done these things, then get set to be enthralled, entertained, stimulated and educated about the saga of Dr. Charles Bingham Penrose.
You’ll never ask for a “Penrose” the same way again
