Ah, I’ve never had one of these, but I think they’re activated by any loud and sharp noise, actually. So yeah, I also had the thought that it could be activated by applause – from the family and friends of the patient – for an operation well done. But I guess that was even more dependable on being familiar with the beeping keychain concept…
The other concept of this strip – the notion of a doctor forgetting stuff in a patient’s body – is however probably not that uncommon, I’m afraid. I’m guessing it happens all the time.
Never heard of those keycahin things, but it’s still funny. ^^
Ditto.
I used to have one but it was whistle activated instead of a clap :-)
Yes! I had a whistle-activated keychain too. But for comedic effect, the clap-clap is teh win.

Well, It’s a common mistake.
