Popping my tourniquet

When somebody really gets on your nerves, often by overstepping their bounds.

That new girl comes in here and acts like she knows everything better than we do. She is really popping my tourniquet!

Tourniquet Resistant Patient

A tourniquet resistant patient (TRP) that is so morbidly obese that a pneumatic tourniquet, despite the highest safe setting, will not be able to adequately restrict blood flow to the extremity to allow bloodless surgery. The sheer girth of the extremity precludes effective tourniquet use.

I wouldn't be so confident. Just looking at this patient's leg makes me think she is a Tourniquet Resistant Patient. You'll be awash in blood despite the tourniquet. Good luck my friend.
