LOL, I do believe there is one of ortho bro ruining a childs birthday party or some gathering with the same style of over concern and graphic details of legs and arms shattering into small fragments. One of his best characters!
Late last century, when I had the IF out of my knee, ortho bro came onto the ward unscheduled early one morning to remove my drain so I could go home early. He was a real bro. He apologised profusely for having to bring his six year old with him (apparently, he was on the school run). Kid bro was in awe of the vacuum reservoir - "You've got a hand grenade full of BLOOD!" - and was fascinated to follow the drain all the way back to my leg. I asked him if he wanted to watch his dad, and he was all for it. When the dressings came off and he saw it actually went into my knee, his jaw dropped. And when I said, "Hey, do you want to see the end come out?" I thought he was going to shart himself with delight. He held my hand, and was gibbering with excitement. At a later appointment, ortho bro told me that kid bro hadn't stopped talking about the lady with the tube in her leg and the hand grenade full of blood. I found out a couple of years ago that kid bro is now a third generation ortho bro. So exposing them to ortho trauma at an early age might just be early stage professional development.
@@goodgame3374 its probably not the strength of the impact, but rather the decreased control of how you actually land. Easier to break things if you lose control and land awkwardly. I'd imagine falling off of trampolines is no small addition to injuries either, though 💀
This is like an ophthalmologist at the "eye care" section of a drug store. This is like an ophthalmologist at a carnival where they have a BB gun gallery. ("You'll shoot your eye out, kid!")
OrthoBro reminds me so much of the pediatric ortho surgeon who took care of my baby sister. When she was about 6 years old, another kid pushed her on the spiral slide on the playground, resulting in a fracture of her femur that was THIS CLOSE to her growth plates. I nearly cried the first time I saw her in a long-leg cast and peds wheelchair. But she had a good recovery and is now Dr. Baby Sister.
Yeah, but I was only able to start calling her that a couple of years ago. Mind you, the first time I called her "doctor" was after her graduation when I told her, "I'm proud of you, Dr. (Lastname)" and we both cried. It's been "Dr. Baby Sister" since then.
This reminds me of the first time I went skiing. My mother sent me off with this little affirmation: “Have fun, but remember, paraplegia is such a tragedy”. (She was a post anesthesia nurse at a level 1 trauma hospital.)
My ankles already had to be surgically convinced to remain attached to my legs, so the thought of skiing terrifies me. (Hyperbole, but) I can only imagine hurtling down a mountain and my body goes flying one way and the skis with my feet still in them goes the other way.
Reminds me of my first time skiing! On one side of the bunny hill there was the lift line. On the other side was the tubing run. While me and my sibling were halfway down Babies First Ski Run, a woman got confused and tried to go tubing down the lift line, hit a tower and cracked her skull open. Me and my sibling were given a terse order to get down the hill on our own time and stay the hell away from the lift line, then our instructor ditched us to handle the emergency. As adults, we now both have a deep, intense respect for ski patrol, and feel a pathological urge to always keep a healthy distance between us and lift towers. Just in case.
Doc don’t forget to put disclaimer “No child was harmed during the filming of this video” because you never know if Ortho bro is watching and waiting for the referrals
I was also an Ortho Jonathan! Nice to meet you, fellow Jonathan 😌 I remember So many parents who came in after trying to keep up with their kids and ended up needing surgery because of it lol
I shared this with my son who is a retired trampoline gymnast who broke both ankles right before nationals! It’s been 9 years, I hope it’s not too soon. 😂
I was a gymnast in my teens (back in the last century) and the trampoline was one of the most dangerous activities to do. In fact, it was removed from the Olympics for awhile. When trampolines started showing up in neighborhood backyards, I was shocked. What a crazy idea. I’m glad Dr. Ortho is there to help now. Way to go!
@@zoundstreetopchildren on trampolines is a horrible idea. Knowing how to fall can only save you so many times. A little slip and you'll end up with horrific injuries. Humans were not built for these machines. Your child can learn how to move and fall on her own, with two feet on the ground. Gymnasts only do trampoline after mastery
I feel called out having had my tibia fractured (exploded into a million pieces where it was like putting an eggshell back together, made for a cool x-ray especially with the paperclips) after jumping as a kid...
I went to a trampoline park with my then gf (now wife) for someone's birthday years back. She, not being a generally sporty person, didn't understand the implications of mimicking a bunny as she hopped toward me...namely, that she'd get rocked were we to make contact mid-air. Upon adjusting course in order to avoid a collision with her, I further jacked up my already bad right knee. Trampolines are not my friends, but orthopedists and PTs definitely are!
Ortho-Bro here. Spot on as usual! It really is a love hate relationship with trampolines, mountain bikes and horses. At least they keep us busy. Definitely going to try the intra-medullary nail trick on my own kids to keep them calm though 😆 Fantastic work as always 🦴🛠️
Yeah, us equestrians (especially jumpers, eventers, and green riders on green horses) certainly keep orthro bros busy. One day all equestrians will value horsemanship more than speed and ribbons.
Hey so I am a writer of historical fiction. How did horse accidents before stirrups were invented cause injuries that result in leg loss. Do people lose one or both legs?
@@Noblebird02 So the thing about stirrups is they keep you in the saddle. That's also why it's so important to have a little bit of heel on your riding boot - it gives you leverage to keep your feet in the stirrups if the horse comes to a sudden stop. Without stirrups, you just go *fwip* and land somewhere that isn't on the horse. That can mean you get trampled (either by your own horse or by someone else's horse), that you fall into a bush of brambles, fall off a cliff, into a river, that you land and break your arm, that you land and tear ligaments in your foot (so months of recovery), that you land sideways on your calf and break your tibia, that you land on a rock and crack your skull... there are many, many types of possible injuries.
I love this one in particular because it's one of the first ones where I think I genuinely have a *reasonable* idea of the actual risks/risk factors involved in being there so I can appreciate how simultaneously overblown yet also actually possible and more common than you'd assume most of Ortho's worries are
There’s a reason you have to tell your home insurer about any trampolines you have. This is also why trampoline parks are so expensive. They have to be insured up the wazoo.
@@ferretyluvNot in Australia. But then again we do have high quality free/universal health care (public hospitals) and you’d be unlikely to find an ER department at a private hospital. Ortho procedure done at private hospitals tend to be elective/planned procedures like a joint replacement, etc; these elective procedures are available in the public system but the wait time in the private system is much shorter.
@@angeh9995 In the US we get to both pay a ton of money, and wait years before private insurance will approve procedures like a knee replacement. Nevermind the surgeon said it was "The worse knee I've ever seen, and I've done thousands of knee replacements".
Listen the only thing he missed in the Infectious Disease on a Hike video is the part where his spooky campfire tale is the terrifying true story of why there isn't a Lyme vaccine for humans.
There is a reason trampolines are commonly seen in lower class environments instead of those with money/better education. I grew up with a lot of doctors kids, none were allowed on trampolines.
As a former gymnastics coach, I absolutely love this. The vast majority of injuries/breaks our kids suffered didn't actually happen in the gym - they happened on backyard trampolines. And most of them were not kids who competed in gymnastics - those kids knew better than to try stuff at home - they were the recreational kids who just came once a week. Although I will say, my loathing of tramps goes beyond that - my first year as a coach we took our girls to a competition that had men's, women's and tramp and tumbling going on. It was held in an arena with concrete floors and of course high ceilings. They did not have enough matting around and a young boy, maybe 12-14, but very high level so his jumps were super high, lost control and bounced off the tramp, hitting his head on the concrete. He never regained consciousness and died a few hours later. I've hated tramps ever since.
Would not have done gymnastics with the trampoline. Learn my flips etc thanks to the tramp. And we had trampoline for gym!!! No pads or mats. You hit the springs your fault.
Ortho bro added a nice, new perspective to trampoline parks. I no longer feel like a crappy parent for not forcing my kid to jump there for exercise multiple times a week or even month.
The usual ways kids get hurt on them is 1 because there are no safety nets so they bounce out of them 2 too many kids on one trampoline means someone gets trampled 3 little kids get on them with much older kids or adults. Is there a way they can be on a trampoline with a safety net by himself?
When I was a kid, I called my ortho a "bone doctor". He had to set my left arm in two places as a result of a bicycle incident. I wish I would have known the term "ortho bro" back in 1979.
We have a lifetime ban on all trampolines after my sister kneed herself in the face and ended up needing stitches in her bottom lip while jumping on one. No broken bones, but she did have a bruise that perfectly outlined her teeth on her knee for like a week. 😂
I had a friend who came down on the rail like a V, and literally exploded a testicle. At 14, he had to have one removed. Can you imagine the horror he went through, both physically and emotionally? I have never heard a scream like that, even when I was in labor.
I went to a gymnastics party as a kid and was the only scared weenie afraid to go on the massive trampoline. I also didn't break my collarbone like one of the party-goers.
As a nurse on a peds unit that sees lots of ortho patients, I can confirm this is quite accurate 😂 Trampoline parks and monkey bars, man. Those things are bad to the bone 😎😜
@@WelcomeApathy I forgot about hoverboards, although they’re not such a common cause here. Although we’re coming up to Christmas fair time, the proliferation of fake ice rinks will make up for it. We see a lot of wrist fractures from them as they’re not as slippery as real ones and so the impact isn’t diverted out and away.
Haha - yep - another peds nurse here. My kiddo has been invited to a few 4th birthday parties at the local trampoline park... we always unfortunately have "prior engagements" 😅 I think I do okay at not bubble-wrapping my kids because of what I see at work, but the trampoline park is definitely a no from me 😬
@@evelynmeihuizen4759 So what you're saying is, my work should stop having outings to play trampoline dodgeball? ;) (I think we have more injuries related to ergonomics than we do those at the sky zone or the parkour course, but with that many employees it may just be a matter of time!) Someone suggested skydiving, and HR was right there to slap that down with "We don't let more than 8 of you get on the same plane when all you're going to do is STAY in it, what makes you think we will ever okay jumping OUT of one?"
Why do I feel like this was an impromptu chance to film a skit created by an actual child of Dr. G attending an actual birthday party at an actual trampoline park?
I had a friend that used to go to the trampoline park. He really loved it. He went every day, up until his bone snapped and went through his skin. He relayed that the doctor told him he would have been fine if he took time to rest. The jumping caused microfractures which built up until they couldn't withstand the forces being applied. Last I saw him, he'd had a painful metal stint in his leg, two years too long because he couldn't afford to have it removed.
In my state, if you are a foster parent, you can not have a trampoline because of the risk factor. Oddly enough, kids can play in bouncy houses and go to open gym and play on balance beams, uneven bars, etc which to me is basically the same thing but for whatever reason, trampolines were where they drew a line. They must have talked to Ortho Bro.
They are dangerous enough that a lot of homeowner's insurance companies either don't cover them or increase premiums if someone has a trampoline on their property.
Bouncy houses are definitely not as dangerous as trampolines. They're less rigid, they're overwhelmingly enclosed, they bounce with less force, and they don't have rigid metal framework you can crack open bones on.
"NAILED it" Ortho bro. Couldn't agree more. Had my days of trampoline injuries. Now retired Ortho and loving this side of medicine...DONE! Keep these coming..you are gifted at revealing so much truth behind mesicine with your humor!
I am dying both at this skit, but also just imagining this guy filming this at the trampoline studio 😂 I want to say, pls tell me you brought your kids and didn't just go in for filming, but since he's a doctor...probably didn't bring his kids there lol
@@galamander_1327 he is an ophthalmologist, so there is no doubt he found a way to deduct it as a business expense....well I mean his Johnathan found a way to deduct it.
As a pediatric radiology coder, if I had a penny for every time I had to code "Activity, trampolining" on an injured kid, I might not have to code for a living anymore 😆 (second only to ATV accidents as the most frequent recreational cause of injury I see)
@@ferretyluv 😆 One of my personal favorites is "poisoned by gila monster venom." I guess for every weird code like that, there's at least one person out there with a very interesting injury story to tell!
@@Noblebird02 also called a 4 wheeler (sometimes has three wheels) off road vehicle that you sit on top of like a motorcycle but with 4 big spikey tires. They are heavy, have a high center of gravity and are frequently used on irregular terrain, no restraints no rollbars. Also most have a part that gets really hot during operation so you get the chance for a burn too…yay
Lol Kid-Bro totally had me dying Letting your growth plates close normally gave me PTSD from having to have my food medically broken then a quarter inch screw screwed into it to create an arch.... So thanks for the laughs AND relived childhood trauma 😂🤣😂🤣😂♥️
I went to a trampoline park in 2018. I left 10 minutes later in an ambulance after horribly dislocating my ankle. Can't even look at trampolines without feeling sick now lol. Everything healed up and thankfully I didn't break any bones but I stretched out the ligaments in my ankle real good, and the ER docs said if I wasnt brought in quick enough I could have lost my foot from cut off circulation.
One of my kid’s friends had parents that were pediatric doctors. Mom was a pediatrician and dad was an orthopedist. Knowing them, I find this 100% hilarious (and accurate).
Ah Trampolines aka Random Fracture Generators. So much fun and so much orthopaedic trade in my ED. Not to mention the associated suturing, head injury and procedural sedation experience. That is never written on the Trampoline Park birthday party invites though.
I would like to see The ED Doc visit with Ortho Bro at another venue that creates the most interesting exchange. I'm sure Radiology will be waiting 😎 somewhere in the dark.
My dad worked in general medicine before specializing in ophthalmology and the trampoline injuries he saw made a strong enough impression that he banned all talk of us getting a trampoline ever. He didn't forbid us from jumping at other people's houses but you could tell he wasn't happy about it, haha.
😂 The one time I was in a trampoline park I watched three people injure themselves badly enough to go to the hospital - in only three hours. According to the staff that was a pretty normal day.
My trauma nurse mother never let us on trampolines. I rebelled by jumping on one for 2 minutes, scared out of my mind, and then deciding that maybe she had a point when someone else's jump caused me to fall over (didn't get hurt, just startled) and I've avoided them ever since
Funny story, we had a trampoline in our back yard for a decade and a half with no injuries, despite doing backflips and such, but my brother broke his ankle not ten minutes into his birthday party at a trampoline park!
That was the most articulate I've ever seen Ortho bro. I thought for sure he'd be standing there with his instruments just excitedly waiting to operate on the bones, bro
I really want to choose a specialty I'm passionate about that much ! I finished medschool and I think your videos are the best textbook for choosing medical specialty
This hits home, I had complete tears of my all and pcl as well as a growth plate fracture in my ankle from a trampoline incident as a kid. The number of ortho bro's who rolled their eyes when I said how I hurt my knee is dumbfounding.
I broke my leg as an adult double bouncing on an Olympic-level trampoline while attempting to do a flip. Open tibia and fibula fracture in the middle of my right leg. An ortho resident asked to meet me at my 2-week follow-up after seeing the x-rays... Never a good sign when medical professionals are curious about your leg! Now the not-so-proud owner of an IM nail and 1 screw... The hilarious thing is, the orthopedic surgeon told me to go back on a trampoline so I'm not scared of them, which I did!
So what I'm hearing is the reason I'm short is because, as a child, my parents let me jump on the trampoline all day every day during the spring and summer because they didn't want to deal with me, and that messed up my growth plates. Thanks mom and dad
OMG I love this so terribly much! Thank you for these videos, they never fail to make me laugh, slap my leg, and just make my day into a brighter more positive one. Thank you again
Hahahaha, Orthos bro, luuurv this channel and this video, particularly 😂 I was editing a paper written by an Orthos and these vids bring me comic relief 😂
So funny!!! Have to say, trampoline parks are wayyy more safe than the trampoline I spent hours on at my best friends house. That was 50+ years ago.....
We used to jump off the roof ( of a split level) onto one of those old rectangular ones. No safety netting of course. My parents never knew, her parents never cared. 😂
If bone bro would just keep his mouth shut he could pay off his mortgage in three years. Or, at least, “Kid bro, y’know what’s more fun that a trampoline? An ATV! Or a dirt bike!” That musical metallic sound is the cash register ringing.
No joke, I work for an Ortho Bro- I’m their nanny. He’s pretty flexible and lets his kids do what they want, they have several large trees in their yard that the kids often climb. However trampolines and trampoline parks are household banned items.
Sorry for the audio. I filmed this at an actual trampoline park. There was a lot of screaming
Definitely sets the right mood
Wonder what the other parents thought
Bro, the noise was a feature, not a bug! 😄
Lol a young healthy adult relative got a spectacular compound fracture at one of those places…1/10 don’t recommend
It works better at the actual trampoline park! It is easy to imagine all the kids going nuts while ortho is losing his mind.
He’s so devoted, OrthoBro goes to pre-round on his patients before they’re patients.
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Lolololol
Best comment ever!
We should have doctors do this unironically. It's called community health and it prevents people from ever becoming patients in the first place.
Lmaooo

Just to be clear, is it falls from trampolines? Because surely it's not a high impact activity in itself

Pediatric OrthoBro seems more focused on prevention than his counterpart for adults.
To be fair, children heal fractures faster and better than as adults unless their growth plates are affected. Then they might have one short arm.

And most of them were not kids who competed in gymnastics - those kids knew better than to try stuff at home - they were the recreational kids who just came once a week. Although I will say, my loathing of tramps goes beyond that - my first year as a coach we took our girls to a competition that had men's, women's and tramp and tumbling going on. It was held in an arena with concrete floors and of course high ceilings. They did not have enough matting around and a young boy, maybe 12-14, but very high level so his jumps were super high, lost control and bounced off the tramp, hitting his head on the concrete. He never regained consciousness and died a few hours later. I've hated tramps ever since.
Concrete floors?? That's gotta a be premeditated murder right?? 😢
Would not have done gymnastics with the trampoline. Learn my flips etc thanks to the tramp. And we had trampoline for gym!!! No pads or mats. You hit the springs your fault.
I volunteer in EMS. We get a disproportionate number of calls from indoor trampoline parks.
Ortho bro added a nice, new perspective to trampoline parks. I no longer feel like a crappy parent for not forcing my kid to jump there for exercise multiple times a week or even month.
The usual ways kids get hurt on them is 1 because there are no safety nets so they bounce out of them 2 too many kids on one trampoline means someone gets trampled 3 little kids get on them with much older kids or adults. Is there a way they can be on a trampoline with a safety net by himself?
When I was a kid, I called my ortho a "bone doctor". He had to set my left arm in two places as a result of a bicycle incident.
I wish I would have known the term "ortho bro" back in 1979.
The timing of this was perfect. Literally reduced a kids arm in ED last night after he broke it at a trampoline park birthday party! 🤣
"Kid Bro" Love it! Ortho and Peds are my favorites. No trampolines, balloons, or swimming pools.
We have a lifetime ban on all trampolines after my sister kneed herself in the face and ended up needing stitches in her bottom lip while jumping on one. No broken bones, but she did have a bruise that perfectly outlined her teeth on her knee for like a week. 😂
I had a friend who came down on the rail like a V, and literally exploded a testicle. At 14, he had to have one removed.
Can you imagine the horror he went through, both physically and emotionally? I have never heard a scream like that, even when I was in labor.
@@archimedesscrew3710 No one, least of all him, thought it was funny to have a testicle literally explode.
@@lainet3379 I was laughing at the knee/lip comment.
I made a mistake.
@@lainet3379 the way you wrote that had quite the comedic rhythm. It was a really beautiful and comically descriptive narration.
@@lainet3379 I think they were replying to the original comment about the (much more dismissable) bruised knee
I went to a gymnastics party as a kid and was the only scared weenie afraid to go on the massive trampoline. I also didn't break my collarbone like one of the party-goers.
As a nurse on a peds unit that sees lots of ortho patients, I can confirm this is quite accurate 😂 Trampoline parks and monkey bars, man. Those things are bad to the bone 😎😜
I have a saying, trampolines and monkey bars do it for the kids, motorbikes and horses do it for the adults.
And hoverboards! XR tech here. So many hoverboard wrist fractures, in way younger ages than we usually see.
@@WelcomeApathy I forgot about hoverboards, although they’re not such a common cause here. Although we’re coming up to Christmas fair time, the proliferation of fake ice rinks will make up for it. We see a lot of wrist fractures from them as they’re not as slippery as real ones and so the impact isn’t diverted out and away.
Haha - yep - another peds nurse here. My kiddo has been invited to a few 4th birthday parties at the local trampoline park... we always unfortunately have "prior engagements" 😅
I think I do okay at not bubble-wrapping my kids because of what I see at work, but the trampoline park is definitely a no from me 😬
@@evelynmeihuizen4759 So what you're saying is, my work should stop having outings to play trampoline dodgeball? ;)
(I think we have more injuries related to ergonomics than we do those at the sky zone or the parkour course, but with that many employees it may just be a matter of time!)
Someone suggested skydiving, and HR was right there to slap that down with "We don't let more than 8 of you get on the same plane when all you're going to do is STAY in it, what makes you think we will ever okay jumping OUT of one?"
Why do I feel like this was an impromptu chance to film a skit created by an actual child of Dr. G attending an actual birthday party at an actual trampoline park?
I had a friend that used to go to the trampoline park. He really loved it. He went every day, up until his bone snapped and went through his skin. He relayed that the doctor told him he would have been fine if he took time to rest. The jumping caused microfractures which built up until they couldn't withstand the forces being applied. Last I saw him, he'd had a painful metal stint in his leg, two years too long because he couldn't afford to have it removed.
Ortho bro spreading knowledge like he should!
Great skit, dude!
In my state, if you are a foster parent, you can not have a trampoline because of the risk factor. Oddly enough, kids can play in bouncy houses and go to open gym and play on balance beams, uneven bars, etc which to me is basically the same thing but for whatever reason, trampolines were where they drew a line. They must have talked to Ortho Bro.
In our state licensed child care homes can't have tamps either
Damn, I didn't know trampolines were legitimately that dangerous 😨
They are dangerous enough that a lot of homeowner's insurance companies either don't cover them or increase premiums if someone has a trampoline on their property.
Bouncy houses are definitely not as dangerous as trampolines. They're less rigid, they're overwhelmingly enclosed, they bounce with less force, and they don't have rigid metal framework you can crack open bones on.
Oh my god, the trampolines... I worked a summer in an orthopedics department. The amount of children with lateral malleolus fractures was insane 😳😂
"NAILED it" Ortho bro.
Couldn't agree more. Had my days of trampoline injuries. Now retired Ortho and loving this side of medicine...DONE!
Keep these coming..you are gifted at revealing so much truth behind mesicine with your humor!
I am dying both at this skit, but also just imagining this guy filming this at the trampoline studio 😂 I want to say, pls tell me you brought your kids and didn't just go in for filming, but since he's a doctor...probably didn't bring his kids there lol
He does have to support his business....nothing like a little bit of family business
Maybe he brought his kid and got to deduct the cost of admission as a business expense.
@@galamander_1327 he is an ophthalmologist, so there is no doubt he found a way to deduct it as a business expense....well I mean his Johnathan found a way to deduct it.
@@derekninabuck5359Never do today what you can have Johnathan do tomorrow~
Amazing, as usual. OrthoBro is actually very intelligent, he just expresses himself differently.
You are too funny and I can relate. I retired as an RN in the OR. Keep up the funnies. 😁😁😁😁😁
As a pediatric radiology coder, if I had a penny for every time I had to code "Activity, trampolining" on an injured kid, I might not have to code for a living anymore 😆 (second only to ATV accidents as the most frequent recreational cause of injury I see)
See, it makes sense for a code like that to exist. Now why does “struck by an orca” exist?
@@ferretyluv 😆 One of my personal favorites is "poisoned by gila monster venom." I guess for every weird code like that, there's at least one person out there with a very interesting injury story to tell!
May I ask what an ATV is
@@Noblebird02 also called a 4 wheeler (sometimes has three wheels)
off road vehicle that you sit on top of like a motorcycle but with 4 big spikey tires.
They are heavy, have a high center of gravity and are frequently used on irregular terrain, no restraints no rollbars. Also most have a part that gets really hot during operation so you get the chance for a burn too…yay
@@Noblebird02 Also, ATV, stands for all-terrain vehicle
Lol Kid-Bro totally had me dying
Letting your growth plates close normally gave me PTSD from having to have my food medically broken then a quarter inch screw screwed into it to create an arch.... So thanks for the laughs AND relived childhood trauma 😂🤣😂🤣😂♥️
Yeah, Kid Bro is a new classic!
Trampolines and monkey bars are a ticket to ER... Keep up the amazing work... Cheers from Canada, eh!
Just came back from a trampoline park with my kid, thank you Ortho bro.
Man, I'm so glad Ortho Bro finally made it to the Trampoline Park... So happy for him!
I went to a trampoline park in 2018. I left 10 minutes later in an ambulance after horribly dislocating my ankle. Can't even look at trampolines without feeling sick now lol. Everything healed up and thankfully I didn't break any bones but I stretched out the ligaments in my ankle real good, and the ER docs said if I wasnt brought in quick enough I could have lost my foot from cut off circulation.
One of my kid’s friends had parents that were pediatric doctors. Mom was a pediatrician and dad was an orthopedist. Knowing them, I find this 100% hilarious (and accurate).
I'm a FF/EMT and our department visits the trampoline park multiple times each week. I actually visited last week. Fun times...
Ah Trampolines aka Random Fracture Generators. So much fun and so much orthopaedic trade in my ED. Not to mention the associated suturing, head injury and procedural sedation experience. That is never written on the Trampoline Park birthday party invites though.
I would like to see The ED Doc visit with Ortho Bro at another venue that creates the most interesting exchange. I'm sure Radiology will be waiting 😎 somewhere in the dark.

My dad worked in general medicine before specializing in ophthalmology and the trampoline injuries he saw made a strong enough impression that he banned all talk of us getting a trampoline ever. He didn't forbid us from jumping at other people's houses but you could tell he wasn't happy about it, haha.
I'm a Johnathan in an Ortho Bro practice. This is extremely accurate in so many ways. Can't wait to show this to my attending and PA.
Would love to see the facial expressions of a Jonathan in an ortho practice 😅
I was waiting for the Greenstick fracture joke 😂😂😂😂
Last quote is so good lol
I usually think I'm helping people with advice, but the trauma and anxiety can also occur.
ROFL. "I'm just trying to use my cynical worldview as a doctor to give you unnecessary lifelong trauma and anxiety." 🤣 My work here is done !
😂 The one time I was in a trampoline park I watched three people injure themselves badly enough to go to the hospital - in only three hours. According to the staff that was a pretty normal day.
😮
Whoa! 😮
Gotta start slow and listen to your body 😅
I saw an Ortho for something minor. Told him when he was taking history that I was kind of accident prone. He said, "That's most of my patients!"
My trauma nurse mother never let us on trampolines. I rebelled by jumping on one for 2 minutes, scared out of my mind, and then deciding that maybe she had a point when someone else's jump caused me to fall over (didn't get hurt, just startled) and I've avoided them ever since
I ❤Ortho Bro. He is one of my favorites. He’s so chill!
Funny story, we had a trampoline in our back yard for a decade and a half with no injuries, despite doing backflips and such, but my brother broke his ankle not ten minutes into his birthday party at a trampoline park!
That was the most articulate I've ever seen Ortho bro. I thought for sure he'd be standing there with his instruments just excitedly waiting to operate on the bones, bro
I really want to choose a specialty I'm passionate about that much !
I finished medschool and I think your videos are the best textbook for choosing medical specialty
Imagine seeing Dr. Glauc in the corner of a tramp park filming. I’m a massive fan, but the thought is just funny lol
I bet his Johnathan found a way to deduct the trip to the park as a business expense lol
This hits home, I had complete tears of my all and pcl as well as a growth plate fracture in my ankle from a trampoline incident as a kid. The number of ortho bro's who rolled their eyes when I said how I hurt my knee is dumbfounding.
ORTHOOOOO!
Still, glad to see him getting another upload where he is the focus… He’s such a funny character and a real sweetheart.
Can’t wait to see more bros in the wild!
“Ok kids once you’ve been injured move aside to let someone else have a chance.” - Homer Simpson
I didn't know Ortho-Bro could use all those complex words! 🤣
Only complex ortho words. Any other specialty, including internal medicine, forget it.
I broke my leg as an adult double bouncing on an Olympic-level trampoline while attempting to do a flip. Open tibia and fibula fracture in the middle of my right leg. An ortho resident asked to meet me at my 2-week follow-up after seeing the x-rays... Never a good sign when medical professionals are curious about your leg! Now the not-so-proud owner of an IM nail and 1 screw... The hilarious thing is, the orthopedic surgeon told me to go back on a trampoline so I'm not scared of them, which I did!
You just made The Psychiatrist Uncontrollably jerk, 😂
The trauma surgeon i was shadowing said something along the lines that trampolines must have been invented by someone who hates kids🥶
So what I'm hearing is the reason I'm short is because, as a child, my parents let me jump on the trampoline all day every day during the spring and summer because they didn't want to deal with me, and that messed up my growth plates. Thanks mom and dad
“Lateral malleolus fracture.” I’ll take that over a “comminuted fracture” any day 😂
Awesome video! Can you make one about table saw/ skill saw? 90% of our finger(s) replants are from those instruments of hell.
OMG I love this so terribly much! Thank you for these videos, they never fail to make me laugh, slap my leg, and just make my day into a brighter more positive one. Thank you again
Hahaha. Am a GP now but did a junior doctor (internship?) in Ortho just when the first trampoline park opened up locally. This is all very accurate.
Hahahaha, Orthos bro, luuurv this channel and this video, particularly 😂 I was editing a paper written by an Orthos and these vids bring me comic relief 😂
So funny! Please do more like this for the other specialties. =D
Growth plates, comedy gold!👏🏻😆
"...life-long trauma and anxiety"? More like healthy life choices 👍
8? Let me tell you about greenstick fractures! This is hilarious 🤣
Remind me to set up a GoFundMe for Bobby.
This is so true! I have seen countless patients from trampoline parks.
So funny!!! Have to say, trampoline parks are wayyy more safe than the trampoline I spent hours on at my best friends house. That was 50+ years ago.....
We used to jump off the roof ( of a split level) onto one of those old rectangular ones. No safety netting of course. My parents never knew, her parents never cared. 😂
Excellent premise, on location too.
If bone bro would just keep his mouth shut he could pay off his mortgage in three years. Or, at least, “Kid bro, y’know what’s more fun that a trampoline? An ATV! Or a dirt bike!”
That musical metallic sound is the cash register ringing.
'Go ask your parents if they've met their family deductible yet' 😂😂😂
Family Deductible... It's funny because it's true. 🤣🤣
It's so scary seeing ortho not being his usually super chill bro self
I would die for Ortho he's so sweet
No joke, I work for an Ortho Bro- I’m their nanny. He’s pretty flexible and lets his kids do what they want, they have several large trees in their yard that the kids often climb. However trampolines and trampoline parks are household banned items.
Thanks eye bro ! Love your content 😍
