You can bet on anything now.
Celebrity surgeries are all the rage on the betting desks.
Live, die, or complications.
I look up the patient history.
Then I look up the sheet on the surgeon, the nurses, and the anesthesiologist.
I check the odds and this one looks good. I lock in my bet.
It’s not like a surgeon is going to blow an easy layup.
But a nurse? Those can be bought.
And orderlies are a dime a dozen.
Sure enough, there’s complications. A post-op infection.
I cash it in, and split the winnings with the night nurse.
