NEW YORK—Sources at Columbia University Medical Center reported Sunday that cardiac surgeon Dr. Robert Klinge, 44, was putting off an impending coronary bypass procedure by cleaning the entire hospital. “I know that guy’s arteries are a mess, but so are the linens in the pediatric ward,” Klinge said following a morning of procrastination in which he had vacuumed the ER, taken out the hospital’s recycling, and sorted multiple trays of scalpels, adjusting the implements carefully until they were lined up perfectly parallel. “If I don’t clean this stuff now, I’ll spend the whole surgery focusing on how the floor could use mopping and the cafeteria windows need to be washed. Besides, I can always get up really early tomorrow and do the bypass then.” At press time, Klinge was reportedly applying a fresh coat of paint to the hospital’s loading dock and did not hear the intercom call indicating a “code blue” in the cardiac wing.

Well I'm not a surgeon, but I can sure relate to this guy. In fact, the reason I was just looking at Twitter and stumbled upon this tweet was that I was... yes, procrastinating! Gotta run and find something to clean.

Sad but true.

So perfect

Oww.

Interesting how the onion is going nasty to try to counter the Babylon Bee. It's not very captivating.

To be fair, he probably saved more lifes by doing so.

I procrastinate when I clean, so I would probably do Coronary Bypass while I cleaned the hospital. I'm not a surgeon, I'm just sayin'
