I love psych C&L

ME
Hi, this is psychiatry!

ORTHO INTERN
Hi, I wanted to place a consult.

ME
Sure, what's the consult for?

ORTHO INTERN
Well, we have a guy who broke both his legs and we were hoping you could come assess him for depression.

ME
Oh no. How did he break his legs? Suicide attempt?

ORTHO INTERN
No no, he got into a bad car accident. We're actually going to operate and he should be fine. 

ME
Is he refusing the surgery?

ORTHO INTERN
No, not at all. But he's depressed.

ME
Oh, what did he say?

ORTHO INTERN
Oh, I didn't talk to him. But he looks sad.
