I had a vague memory from medical school that this wasn't a good thing--the expression " hangman's fracture" kept bobbing up from the well of facts I do not use --but I had a much more distinct impression that this was not a case for cardiology." And Ortho isn't taking him because?" I said wearily." Because he's got internal organs, dude." I sighed. " So why me?" " Because they got an EKG." The MAO was clearly enjoying himself. I remembered he had recently been accepted to a cardiology fellowship. I braced myself for the punch line." And?" " And there's ectopy on it. Ectopy." He then made a noise intended to suggest a ghost haunting something. "
