The only unrealistic part is that he's sticking around to watch intently instead of immediately leaving and delegating monitoring the student to the resident.
I bonded with my new eye doctor when she entered the exam room followed by her scribe. “You have a Jonathan!” I blurted out. They both laughed and the scribe gave me The Nod. Score! I am now confident my glaucoma is in good hands.
Oh, how I remember the pimping! “Did you go to an American medical school?” (💭yes…this one). “Do you gals like depriving men of jobs, when most of you will be wasting your training by having babies?” (35 years and three babies later, still working). “You women don’t have the upper body strength to do obstetrics “ (💭little hands are deft and skilled when working in small spaces). Most of our mentors were great, and the oncologists that pimped us on Cancer staging at 5 am rounds kept us on our toes for sure. But there were always a few sadistic types in the old days.,. Keep those vids coming, eyeball bro! Your Health Care month was superb and realistic. But your character driven sketches make us docs laugh and shake off our PTSD as we wait on hold doing our Peer-to-Peers.
“Do you gals like depriving men of jobs, when most of you will be wasting your training by having babies?” "Absolutely! I, for my part, want to have _your_ job!" “You women don’t have the upper body strength to do obstetrics“ "Correct, that's why midwives are a myth and not the standard obstetrical care for millenia."
I have managed to get all my doctors hooked on your website. It’s fun to go to my different doctors and talk about your episodes that we have seen. They really enjoy your humor. It’s nice to see them take a break from being so serious and I feel like laughing together creates a nice connection between us. Thanks for the laughs. All the best to you and your family❣️
In 26 years of training residents I thought I knew all the best lines (eg tell me you want this patient dead, then everything you've done so far will begin to make sense to me) but "are you sure you are right handed" is *chef's kiss*
A surgeon once asked me about a song that came on the radio: "who is the guitarist and what kind of guitar does he play?". Thankfully it was a procedure being done under spinal anesthesia so the patient was awake and able to feed me the answer.
Authority [Challenging: Failed] "This guy is clearly trying to push you so you learn to assert yourself. So assert yourself, now! Scream!" - Scream? Why? - *Crying* AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH!
I worked with an attending who loved to tell people "I've seen it done better, but never slower" and watch their faces go from happy to sad as the meaning sunk in 😂😂😂
Aw man, hang in there! Always remember the triangle of safety in a lap chole, make sure every post op admit is low risk for DVT/PE, fill your pockets with dressing supplies and scissors before rounds, and just keep practicing with sutures. They were all in your shoes at some point and no one has the right to belittle you. I was lucky with my team but I've heard horror stories.
"You know I gotta say you suture like a senior resident", I thought I was going to hear the surgeon compliment someone other than himself for the first time. You got me in the first half
Oh the things I‘ve learned in general surgery: The frescos of the Sistine chapel and the art of fresco painting in general. Stylistic devices namely oxymoron and pleonasm and which of the two describes the situation we were in best. (I forgot the context it was a bilateral inguinal hernia operated minimally invasive) Interprets of the songs playing on the radio (that one got easy after some time, because the surgeon always asks when Phil collins, Elton John or the number one hit at that time was playing (lady Gaga and Bradley cooper - shallow). And occasionally the question: „Which two things are most important for positioning the patient?“ Answers: gravity and the anesthesiologist with the remote control Reflecting on this in hindsight, it’s a pretty good strategy to make you doubt yourself. Not only your qualification in the medical field, but your qualification for existing in general😅
Really? Are you sure? what will be the gain of that? I find the questions and the answers quite educating. Like learning naval history while operating.
I'm following you from El Salvador. Before I saw your videos, I believed that these situations happened only in Latin America. You transported me 20 years ago during my Surgery Rotations. Thank you for your videos!
When I was on surgery as a medical student, an attending surgeon, during surgery started doing this to me at about that speed. Then he stopped and named another surgeon and told me that if that other surgeon ever pimped me like that I should tell him that I’m paying $$$ for him to teach me. So another day I was in surgery with that other surgeon and he started and I told him that the previous surgeon told me to tell him that I’m paying $$$ for him to teach me. The surgeon laughed as was intended. However, months later, while on another rotation, I got called into the office of the chief of surgery. Seems the resident in the OR at the time of the joke told the chief something different than what actually happened. The chief wanted to fail me from that rotation. I tried to tell him what happened and who the surgeons were. It ended with me passing the rotation but being on academic probation for the rest of my third year. Over 30 years ago and it’s still a raw nerve.
@@rebeccacrockett8334 except it wasn't the attending that was offended, it was the resident who really needed to mind their business. I'm glad it worked out in the end.
Mount Wycheproof in Victoria, Australia is often considered the world's smallest mountain. It stands at 141 feet (43 meters) above the surrounding plain.
30+ years of scrub nursing here.....can tell you, it took a lot of anti bullying campaigns and interventions to improve surgeons to this level...... previously they really would throw instruments at anyone who displeased their colossal egos. Not kidding.
oh yeah, the culture at one time was pretty malignant... I asked a neurosurgeon how he was able to go for so long without needing to take a break to pee, his answer.... "when I was a resident, my attending thought it was a sign of weakness to have to go to the bathroom,,," LOL
My first rotation as a third year was trauma. First case was a MVC with liver lac. The attending opened the abdomen, grabbed those things at the end of my arms, and shoved them deep into this guy's peritoneum. "Explore the space, man...just feel around and explore the space."
Surgery can be hard. A friend who had no problem with dissection or anatomizing a cadaver, froze at his first surgery and was unable to make an incision. He said after three tries the surgeon put both hands on top of his and made the cut "You have to press down like this"
You just described my entire sugrery practise in 2 minutes lmao. I love your satire of the healthcare system. It's important that we're reflecting upon ourselves with funny but thoughtful sarcasm. I'm so glad my friends recommended your channel. Wishing everything good for you man! 😁
I'm laughing out loud about the progression to questions outside of the field of medicine. There are SO many surgeons that do that. You only missed the quote they always quote to justify their unjustifiable questions: "A physician who only knows about medicine is not a good physician". Which is kinda true, but 3 random trivia questions do not determine your general knowledge ffs!
I quite vividly remember the first day of my otorhinolaryngology rotation. Me and one other student volunteered to go to the OR while the rest of med students went for the rounds. We have peacefully observed the first ten minutes of thyroidectomy - until the head of the department came in. He wasn't even supposed to operate that day, he just came to flex his academic muscles. He spots us, makes a dash for us, and after a sentence or two about the surgery he starts to hit us with the most unhinged and unrelated questions imaginable - "What is the largest animal cell in the world?" "Can a whale suffer from decompression sickness?" "What government did Lenin make his revolution against?" "What sort of eggs cannot be sold in the farmers market?" - all the while he has us cornered behind a storage box, far away from the operating table. After an hour or so of asking questions neither of us knew the answers for, he was visibly satisfied with himself and his scholarship, he just as suddenly disappeared.
I actually remember doing my surgical rotation with a psychiatrist major. He told me that the surgeon told him to close the suture and then walked away. So the poor psychiatrist tried his best and pleaded wih anaestesiology to wait and let the patient sleep a bit more. 😅😅😅😅
As a med student our attending surgeon once made everyone stop before the surgery began, face the flag and sing the star spangled banner. He also laid into another student in front of the patient and family for failing to report gynecomastia on the physical exam. This video is quite accurate 😂
I'm not a physician but I work with them, and after reading these "pimping" comments, I'm both laughing, and astounded at the level of thick skin you must have to develop to get through it. God bless all of you! BTW, Dr. Glauc - your characterizations of the various specialties is scary accurate!
I can't even begin to tell you how accurate this is! My previous consultant (I'm an intern) treated me the same way! Irrelevant questions during surgery, judging me in every possible way😂, asking what my future goals are😂.... but he gave me a compliment on my suturing skills that I would never forget..."You are more advanced than most senior house officers here!" ❤ Coming from someone as judmental as him, it was huge!
Doctor, I think adding IT would be a great character. We're as overworked as family medicine, but everyone except radiologists think we're superflous when we're actually critical to every single part of the hospital and every single thing you do in it. Most doctors treat us like residents, and we're all rather horrified how computer illiterate doctors are.
"we're actually critical to every single part of the hospital and every single thing you do in it." Yeah, this would be a great character. Incredible hubris. Absolutely obnoxious. But the only problem is that SNL already perfected the caricature: ua-cam.com/video/25J3u3P-HHg/v-deo.html
And we private practitioners can’t afford a loyal scribe. Our loyal Dragon software needs careful oversight, and typing is just death by a thousand clicks.
I had one resident ask me to time him when he closed. I told him that I always wanted to see time crawl lol. An attending used to ask residents where the word 'saboteur' came from. He was so pissed when I knew. So freaking random.
Yup. I hope things are better than 30 years ago. I would have made a great general surgeon but I couldn’t deal with the abuse. I went into OB which wasn’t much better, honestly. I’m surprised you didn’t ask your med student to hold a Deaver retractor in an impossible position for countless hours. Of course, back in the day, we were ordered to basically stand on top of the surgeon who would spout out a running monologue about how he loved feeling our tits up against him. I remember when I was chief resident on Gyn and I carefully assigned the most misogynistic attending to all male residents and a burly male junior resident came to me crying and asked to be reassigned. Turned out that the misogynist was racist too.
Hey, OB bro! I too trained in the boys’ club 35 years ago. We had a few misogynistic bastards back mentoring us few “girls” in the art of women’s health care. Glad we have taken over our specialty. Sad that Administration sucks all the joy out of it . 🥂
@@wholeNwon The Deaver requires upper body strength. It must be lifted upward and the handle is just narrow metal. It’s worst when the assistant is shorter than the surgeon. And it’s designed for someone with upper body strength of a fit young male. It’s bad news for a female who is more studious than athletic.
I don't understand how surgeons can just pull random trivia information out during mid-surgery and expect us to know what it is. 😂 Worse is during mid-handover and the entire department stares at you.
"You suture like a senior resident." For a second there, I thought he was gonna say he sutures like a feeble old man with severe arthritis and the shakes.
That was beautiful. All that totally happens, for those wondering. Back when I started, I remember the first rotation.. we did fifth-roots of numbers, characters in stories or plays, capitals... Skipped all the music stuff in the OR... And the surgeon always used a 'got a postcard from my ex vacationing in the islets of langerhans' just to see.
The one thing that strikes me the most about your videos is that everywhere in the world, the world of medicine is the same! Keep the videos coming, eye bro!
I was roasted like crazy for my 4 weeks of general surgery. Non-stop pimping from residents and attendings, grilled to the bottom of my soul. Thought I failed but got a really good eval and was surprised lol
I remember walking into the OR as a fresh 3rd year med student on my first rotation and within 5 seconds the attending barks at me “WHAT IS THE LIGAMENT OF TREITZ??”
I’m in a cardiac surgery elective this week and the resident let me try to close the skin. But he had started the closing and so he passed the tools over the table and I had to try and close it backhand. Let’s just say it wasn’t very good. The fibroblasts were winning the race.
Oh fun!!! I am currently a second year surgical technologist student and on the grand journey of finding out how many things I can accomplish left handed, and then subsequently trying to learn how to do those things I am apparently not good at doing left-handed. I think my saving grace is how often I would have to use and manipulate pliers in my off hand while soldering in my four years of electrical engineering classes in high school. It is amazing what you learn to do in offhand, and backwards, when you have no time to switch to dominant hand.
We refer to them as "instruments". CT is one of those areas of surgery where being ambidextrous is a real asset. I am not so blessed but for some reason can only tie single-handed knots with my left hand.
Is this your first rotation: Would have to be never went to med school. Are you nervous: Nah I have the power to stop time and ask google. Where's our med student: If you mean me, at home. Chillin'. What atery is this: I can't see it but I'm going with axillary artery. What atery is this not: femoral artery. Its in the lower extremity so unless we're doing some crazy full body surgery we won't see both. What is my favorite artery: arteria dorsalis pedis because no layman has a chance with that one. What is the bowel segment I named my oldest child after: Sigmoid. The rest aren't even vaguely name like. Tell me all the layers of the human body: Epidermis, Dermis, Hypodermis, can't find anything beyond layers of skin so I guess just bones and organs is after that? Why do I not wanna touch that: Its gross and probably important. Infection: viruses, bacteria, fungus, and parasites. How many people died at the battle of the Alamo: between 182 and 257 Texans plus between 600 and 1,600 Mexicans, so between 782 and 1,857 total. What was Bob Dylans Favorite Sandwich: He never stated. How tall is the worlds smallest mountain: Mount Wycheproof is the least disputed, with its height at 138ft or 482ft above sea level. Tell me something you know: I like apples as a snack which sadly means I'll never meet Dr. Glaucomflecken. Those things at the end of your arms, they look like hands but why don't they work like hands: Intense nervous combined with incredible stress. Are you sure you're right handed: Pretty sure, though my mom told me she taught being a lefty out of me at a very tiny age. Thats the answer to every question.
Layers of the body: don’t forget fascia, muscularis, parietal peritoneum and visceral peritoneum. The fascia is the tough stuff that hold you together. And all kinds of “potential spaces” like the Space of Retzius. And if you know all that, he could go to histology ( cell types) or microbiology…. They keep going til you cry.
As a self defined know-it-all-wanna-be I just felt compelled to google many of this questions. So I feel ready to answer the surgeon (I’m a paralegal though, so not sure how it applies).
“ So why weren’t you at Journal club last Thursday night?” [Because I’m only doing this rotation to be home with my three month old and don’t give a --…] “Oh, my newborn was sick.” “ Don’t you have someone else to take care of him when that happens? You ARE a 3rd year med student.” … I’m an OccDoc now, baby!

As a surgeon, this is 100% true.
As a senior psychiatry resident, that was an amazing joke 😂
“Those things at the end of your arms…” 😂😂
As a psychiatry resident I enthusiastically endorse this message.
The biggest joke is the attending waiting to watch the med student close

"They look like hands... but why dont they work like hands?"
I was once told "the M in medicine stands for "movement"..."
The only unrealistic part is that he's sticking around to watch intently instead of immediately leaving and delegating monitoring the student to the resident.
He wants to make sure it’s done correctly 😂
Or better yet, to anaesthesia
You can't judge if you're not there to watch, how is surgery supposed to feel superior if he just leaves
He really wanted to achieve maximum pain 🔥
Where’s the fun in that? Half the joy is watching the kid squirm
"At this point its a race between you and the fibroblasts, and the fibroblasts are winning" 😂😂😂
My fav line in this one. As a budding internist who dreaded surgical rotations, this SO would have been me!
I honestly laughed so hard when he said this
Harvey Cushing once said something similar about Halsted. On it goes.
“….in psychiatry” had laughing hard enough to wake my kid up. And I spent 2 hours getting her to sleep
I understand this struggle, but sometimes it's worth the laugh.
Fortunately I only quietly laugh-wheezed, and my baby didn't wake up. XD

Was it worth it?
Funnily enough, I've done more stitching in my psychiatry residency than i ever did as a surgery intern.😂

"we're actually critical to every single part of the hospital and every single thing you do in it." Yeah, this would be a great character. Incredible hubris. Absolutely obnoxious. But the only problem is that SNL already perfected the caricature: ua-cam.com/video/25J3u3P-HHg/v-deo.html
And we private practitioners can’t afford a loyal scribe. Our loyal Dragon software needs careful oversight, and typing is just death by a thousand clicks.
"I know you docs think that a bolus of normal saline fixes everything, but it really doesn't help your printer"
Um. IT doesnt have a giant malpractice target on their back
"a race between you and the fiberblasts" is the most brilliant and savage takedown like...ever. 👍
"They look like hands, but why don't they work like hands" had me laughing hard. Made my morning better.
Ohhhh the psychiatry burn. He’s gonna hear that from across the building. 😂
“I’d let you finish, but I want to see my kids grow up” is just pure gold
I had one resident ask me to time him when he closed. I told him that I always wanted to see time crawl lol. An attending used to ask residents where the word 'saboteur' came from. He was so pissed when I knew. So freaking random.
Yup. I hope things are better than 30 years ago. I would have made a great general surgeon but I couldn’t deal with the abuse. I went into OB which wasn’t much better, honestly.
I’m surprised you didn’t ask your med student to hold a Deaver retractor in an impossible position for countless hours. Of course, back in the day, we were ordered to basically stand on top of the surgeon who would spout out a running monologue about how he loved feeling our tits up against him.
I remember when I was chief resident on Gyn and I carefully assigned the most misogynistic attending to all male residents and a burly male junior resident came to me crying and asked to be reassigned. Turned out that the misogynist was racist too.
I scrubbed in on a case with Dr. Deaver but didn't hold that retractor. He was a nice man.
Hey, OB bro! I too trained in the boys’ club 35 years ago. We had a few misogynistic bastards back mentoring us few “girls” in the art of women’s health care. Glad we have taken over our specialty. Sad that Administration sucks all the joy out of it . 🥂
@@wholeNwon
The Deaver retractor is a torture device. Lol.
@@GoodnightJLH For whom?
@@wholeNwon
The Deaver requires upper body strength. It must be lifted upward and the handle is just narrow metal. It’s worst when the assistant is shorter than the surgeon. And it’s designed for someone with upper body strength of a fit young male. It’s bad news for a female who is more studious than athletic.
Must be fake. No blaring music in theater. 😂
A man, the freaking music choices too. I will never forget the surgeon who put on Michael Jackson's Greatest Hits. It was akward
I know basically nothing about medicine, but as a tool maker i can appreciate the hazing of the apprentice.
I don't understand how surgeons can just pull random trivia information out during mid-surgery and expect us to know what it is. 😂 Worse is during mid-handover and the entire department stares at you.
They practice!
I do enjoy seeing medicine, and those that practice at it, through your creativity. =D
the fibroblasts are winning 😅
"You suture like a senior resident."
For a second there, I thought he was gonna say he sutures like a feeble old man with severe arthritis and the shakes.
Hey i know this is a bit out of your comfort zone, but i would love for you do spmething with military health care. Our world is a bit weird
That was beautiful.
All that totally happens, for those wondering.
Back when I started, I remember the first rotation.. we did fifth-roots of numbers, characters in stories or plays, capitals... Skipped all the music stuff in the OR...
And the surgeon always used a 'got a postcard from my ex vacationing in the islets of langerhans' just to see.
This reminded me of several moments in my own 3rd year surgery rotation. VERY insightful!
'And the fibroblasts are winning'.. Savage! 🤣
duodenum, Jejunum, and Ilium from oldest to youngest.
And Meckel’s (Diverticulun) for the baby.
The one thing that strikes me the most about your videos is that everywhere in the world, the world of medicine is the same! Keep the videos coming, eye bro!
I was expecting Psychiatry to.pop up at the last minute and say " Hey"
I once had a surgery attending stand behind me and count while I sutured, letting me know how much each minute of OR time costs.
Tell them the patient needs to live with it for the rest of their life
I knew one of those, because I live there...Mt Wycheproof.
I was roasted like crazy for my 4 weeks of general surgery. Non-stop pimping from residents and attendings, grilled to the bottom of my soul. Thought I failed but got a really good eval and was surprised lol
In these moments even if the surgeon asks me "pick a thought and say it" I feel so paralized I cannot even say my own name
Now you can have ready “I was just admiring your dexterity “
As a former psychiatry registrar I can confirm that suturing was actually part of the job. The last suture I did was a butt - you don't wanna know.
As a former medical student - this is accurate.
"You know at this rate it's a race between you and the fibroblasts...and the fibroblasts are winning." 😭😭😭😂
400-600 Mexicans killed or wounded, and 182-257 Texans killed
Po’boy with poison wine
42 metres (138 ft) above the surrounding terrain and 147 metres (482 ft) above sea level
"I would let you finish, but I would like to see my kids grow up."
Damn doc! You didn't have to do him like that! 😅😂
Surgery was kinder to his med student than what i had dished out to me in med school. Just sayin.
As a surgery resident currently on break I loved this so much
Today is my first day of general surgery rotation 😂
Come back and tell us how it goes!
@@SummerSwan50 exactly how it went for the med student 😂
@@satviklodha5219 Oh, no!
You are perfect!!! Makes this journey much more bearable! :)
I missed these over the 30 days episodes
Wait isn't Bob Dylan still alive? Does he no longer eat sandwiches?? I have so many questions
I remember walking into the OR as a fresh 3rd year med student on my first rotation and within 5 seconds the attending barks at me “WHAT IS THE LIGAMENT OF TREITZ??”
Literally had someone ask me if I had parkinson's the first time i closed an incision on my gen surg rotation.
Oh, the fibroblast insult. I had almost forgotten that. Thanks for restoring a trauma.
Damn, this explains so much about my Division Chief's character.
I’m in a cardiac surgery elective this week and the resident let me try to close the skin. But he had started the closing and so he passed the tools over the table and I had to try and close it backhand. Let’s just say it wasn’t very good. The fibroblasts were winning the race.
Oh fun!!! I am currently a second year surgical technologist student and on the grand journey of finding out how many things I can accomplish left handed, and then subsequently trying to learn how to do those things I am apparently not good at doing left-handed. I think my saving grace is how often I would have to use and manipulate pliers in my off hand while soldering in my four years of electrical engineering classes in high school. It is amazing what you learn to do in offhand, and backwards, when you have no time to switch to dominant hand.
We refer to them as "instruments". CT is one of those areas of surgery where being ambidextrous is a real asset. I am not so blessed but for some reason can only tie single-handed knots with my left hand.
Is this your first rotation: Would have to be never went to med school.
Are you nervous: Nah I have the power to stop time and ask google.
Where's our med student: If you mean me, at home. Chillin'.
What atery is this: I can't see it but I'm going with axillary artery.
What atery is this not: femoral artery. Its in the lower extremity so unless we're doing some crazy full body surgery we won't see both.
What is my favorite artery: arteria dorsalis pedis because no layman has a chance with that one.
What is the bowel segment I named my oldest child after: Sigmoid. The rest aren't even vaguely name like.
Tell me all the layers of the human body: Epidermis, Dermis, Hypodermis, can't find anything beyond layers of skin so I guess just bones and organs is after that?
Why do I not wanna touch that: Its gross and probably important.
Infection: viruses, bacteria, fungus, and parasites.
How many people died at the battle of the Alamo: between 182 and 257 Texans plus between 600 and 1,600 Mexicans, so between 782 and 1,857 total.
What was Bob Dylans Favorite Sandwich: He never stated.
How tall is the worlds smallest mountain: Mount Wycheproof is the least disputed, with its height at 138ft or 482ft above sea level.
Tell me something you know: I like apples as a snack which sadly means I'll never meet Dr. Glaucomflecken.
Those things at the end of your arms, they look like hands but why don't they work like hands: Intense nervous combined with incredible stress.
Are you sure you're right handed: Pretty sure, though my mom told me she taught being a lefty out of me at a very tiny age.
Thats the answer to every question.
Layers of the body: don’t forget fascia, muscularis, parietal peritoneum and visceral peritoneum. The fascia is the tough stuff that hold you together. And all kinds of “potential spaces” like the Space of Retzius. And if you know all that, he could go to histology ( cell types) or microbiology…. They keep going til you cry.
As a self defined know-it-all-wanna-be I just felt compelled to google many of this questions.
So I feel ready to answer the surgeon (I’m a paralegal though, so not sure how it applies).
Laying here with a shattered shoulder,, dreading surgery in a few days, amd can't stop laughing at this even though it hurts.
Chuckling along until time to close the incision - next lines so funny I damn near spewed my PB&J! Thank you, Doc G. I needed that.
I actually got a “I would let you finish but anaesthesia is glaring at me”
Before 😂😂😂😂
I got pimped about music from the 1950s and 1960s the most on surgery rotation. That said, I really enjoyed it.
“ So why weren’t you at Journal club last Thursday night?” [Because I’m only doing this rotation to be home with my three month old and don’t give a --…] “Oh, my newborn was sick.” “ Don’t you have someone else to take care of him when that happens? You ARE a 3rd year med student.”
… I’m an OccDoc now, baby!
