- Dr Glaucomflecken has a massive following on UA-cam and rightly so! He is a comedian and a doctor with a unique skill to nail the weirdness found within in medical specialty but does so with a great sense of humour. In this video The Neurosurgeon react to therapy sessions with neurosurgeons, neurologists and anaesthetists. Mo and Adi discuss which parts of these videos are true to life and which ones and which ones they have experienced themselves. Vote for your favourite medical speciality in the comments (it's the neurosurgeon). #neurosurgery #medschool #medical

I might be personally biased on this, but after a neurosurgeon freed my from months of excruciating 24/7 pain and from a possible paralysis from waist down caused by a two-level spinal hernia when I was 22, neurosurgeons are my absolute favorite among medical providers.
It’s great to know that this operation helped you, this what we are hear for. We love to see the difference we can make in our patients eyes.
It’s very good that neurosurgeons ate your favourite 😍
Lol, you and the neurosurgeons have that opinion in common!
First, I would like to thank you both for your great sense of humor while watching this. Secondly, I have a statement and question: 1) I noticed that you both have very long, beautiful fingers ( which I am sure come in “ handy” 😂 for a surgeon.
2) My question is: Because I did notice you both have long fingers; do either of you play any musical instruments?
I ask because my son, ( who passed away from an aneurysm at just 36 years old) had very long , thin fingers, as well and was an incredible musician. He was studying to be a surgeon. By the way, he loved surgery and was supposedly very good at it. - Thank you, - T
@@floydkendall2703 Please accept my condolences for the loss of Your son, world lost a wonderful human way, way too soon :( Are you a medical provider by chance? detective? Musician Yourself?It's rare for people to notice such details, when I started my medicine journey after transition from different career the first thing one of senior fellows complimented my (almost salad fingers as in that weird,weird cartoon) fingers too. After learning I did one elderly patient's terribly uncared for nails that she was very ashamed of ( as I used to make money as nail tech during first degrees) he let me into the training suite - and lemme tell You, having long agile fingers really,truly helps with some instruments! Your son would probably make an amazing microvascular or neuro surgeon as musicians seem to be extremely tactily gifted - glad his legacy and memory gets to live on through You. You seem like an incredibly strong person and amazing mother, the kind all of us wish we've had.
(Us ungifted ordinary schmoocks have to catch up constantly, terrifying our friends and family with attempting surgical skills on just about anything, like a tomato peel..or an egg.. 😶 )
I would say you are biased for good reason. Glad they were able to help you. 👍
My husband had fibrolamellar cancer that metastasized to his head. The oncologist thought it was on the outside of his skull and was not on top of things; his biopsy and imaging all got delayed because the hospital was dealing with Covid issues at the time. When he finally went in for surgery, they did the MRI and discovered that a piece of his skull as large as a flattened hand was gone from the side of his skull, and the tumor was through his dura and into his brain. The first neurosurgeon said he couldn't do anything because the skull defect would be too large and that my husband should get his affairs in order. We found another neurosurgeon (and a reconstruction team). They did it. So, I am glad there are some narcissistic neurosurgeons (and plastics doctors) out there who believe they can do absolutely anything! It was close and he lost 70% of his blood volume during surgery, so they didn't do the full reconstruction. But, they managed to get his brain covered again and his head only appeared slightly deformed. People didn't really notice it. The important part was the tumor was gone and the cancer never returned to his head. He lived another 2.5 years after his craniotomy and got the opportunity to watch our daughter grow up some more. We would not have had that time. In the end, his cancer was under control, but he died from a reaction to one of his cancer drugs. That craniotomy gave us enough time that our daughter is now old enough to have memories of him.
I’m so sorry for your loss, but I’m very glad to hear it went as well as it could have. Doctors are a blessing.
the blanket warmer is the best part of every medical facility
I LOVE HIS SENSE OF HUMOR I am an OR RN and he is spot on with his skits. Love to laugh and relate to it.
More of Dr G reaction videos coming in the coming weeks 👍
bahaha, I loved the anesthesia joke. Recently had a c section, less than an hour of surgery, was awake throughout. The anesthesist was great at patient care and talked me through all the setup - and then, like in the skits, he TAPPED OUT 20 mins in and handed me over to his colleague! made me grin even in the operating theatre
I love these videos with real docs reacting to Dr. Glaucomflecken's characters!! You all seem so human when I see you in this light. 😄
More of these coming 🔜
for the record, Dr. Glauconflrcken IS a real doctor (ophthalmology)
@@williamveale5966 Duh.
I love when doctors react to Dr G. As with many of the people here, have a major soft spot for neurologists and neurosurgery, my neurologist is so great with my epilepsy and the neurosurgeons saved my Nana when she had an aneurysm and hemorrhage. So much respect!
That makes our day when we help our patients. Wish you and your Nana staying healthy all the time.
I'm pretty sure work life balance isn't a thing in the practice of neurosurgery in the USA. It certainly wasn't a thing when I rotated on service during general surgery training. The neurosurg attending could most generally be found in the office in the middle of the night, working on something, not sleeping.
That’s true, life is difficult in neurosurgery.
3:05 "get involved with complex cases or difficult cases" Ah yes, as opposed to your standard, basic neurosurgery 😂
😅
Now that I think about it, my neck surgery was performed on Christmas Eve. Dr L even checked up on me Christmas Day. It wasn't emergency surgery, but it changed my life.
A neurosurgeon saved my life 3 months ago. I'm recovering from arterial thrombosis and bilateral amputation and will be able to go home to my family bcuz of him. You are life savers. 👵🤗❤
Thank you, Doctors. I am subscribed to Dr. Glaucomflekken’s channel and find the personalities that coincide with the specialties fascinating. I think the anesthesiologist is funny; but, I have a soft spot for the neurosurgeon as I had brain surgery in the past. My Neurosurgeon was the best!!
Great to hear of your good experience.
I, too, have had brain surgery. Large tumor in the right frontal lobe. My neurosurgeon was and is the best. Honest with me from the beginning.
Hullo, dropping by the 'i had brain surgery and rly value my neurosurgeon' club! Grade 2 Astrocytoma in the right temporal lobe. Was kinda funny because my neurosurgeon went on TV not long before i had my surgery so i was flexing about my celebrity surgeon lol.
@@felixhenson9926 grade 2 oligo-astrocytoma, right frontal lobe. I was 27 when I was diagnosed, you?
His portrayal of the neurologist was SPOT ON for my 1st neurologist. He was so full of himself. I found a better one.
Canadian Neurologists are cold, aloof, and yes condescending. I found one warm, caring teaching excellent neurologist. He agreed that his many colleagues in the city were "less than warm". Very odd docs overall, smart, and not big into people. Lol
Being warm and caring is part of the job and should be the norm.
I love Dr. Glaucomflecken videos but I must say I also genuinely enjoy seeing the very specialists who are portrayed in the skits, react to the skits and bring "real whole humans" to the humour. :D
Certainly not a neurologist or surgeon but the neuro stuff tickles me to death as a PT. I had a good amount of education focused on neuroscience and this stuff is gold.
Neurosurgeons are rockstars! My daughter required a DREZ procedure because of damage from a traumatic arm amputation. We had to hunt one down, he was a champion and absolutely changed her life.
Thanks Stephanieo. Wish your daughter all the best in her life. ❤️
Yes. I do love a Dr Glock reaction.
We do love him as well
This was excellent. Thanks for the in-depth, it always improves the comedy. I love what doctor glaukomflecken did with his hair to depict neurologists - esp. the one with a baby blue bow tie
My favourite part is that they both have glasses that match neurosurgery's glasses.
But how can Psychiatrist possibly understand the function of the human brain if he's never seen one?
I have CCM1 genetic mutation, and have had two brain surgeries, so I've seen my fair share of brain specialists. Not all of them acted this extreme, but definitely close.😅😂 I'm in the US.
I respect neurosurgeons so much. I'm in awe of you guys.
Appreciated your explanations about the ways in which each speciality self selects for certain traits but also carries certain burdens.
The "congenital lack of long-term memory" im _wheezing_
So funny. As an ex-Neuro theatre and ITU nurse, I recognise the neurosurgeon and the anaesthetist. As a patient, I don't really recognise the neurologist. Never met a confrontational one yet. My favourite has to be the anaesthetist!
That’s why he’s so good Beverly. Hits on the truth in a humorous way. It’s important to be able to laugh at yourself. Thanks for your support.
If you go to Neurology Grand Rounds, you will find the neurologist
I'm a long time fan of Glaucomflecken; he treats all disciplines equally 😹
The Neurosurgeon who was part of the team who removed my Acoustic Neuroma is the nicest guy. Very warm and unassuming even though he’s the only skull base neurosurgeon at his hospital. His staff adores him too! Obviously these are just comedy routines but he could be further from the comedy stereotype. ❤️🤣
Thank you for your content.
He sublet the blanket from the residents hahahahha!! Unhealthy attachment to performing surgery. hahaaaa
You never know what happens behind the scenes 😂
The two neurologists I have been to as a patient in the US behaved in a similar way to Glaucomflecken’s portrayal of neurologists.
Neurologist is the best. Pls review the video where he shows the neurosurgeon residency review.
Neurologist the best! We’ll let you off 😛
I was waiting for this video 😅😅
I was surprised to hear the guy say “theatre”. I thought Dr Glaucomflecken was making that up 😮
The "goes to therapy" skits all tune the caricature up to 11, similar to the "how to ace an interview", something I enjoyed mostly after watching his characters interact with more elements so you already have an idea what to expect of it.
I had a great and very kind neurologist here in NY. Very attentive and caring. Not an arrogant guy at all ❤
Love the way you present this topic!
Thanks Rima. Much appreciated.
Meee toooo 😘🥰
Yesss so excited
I have only met two confrontational and condescending neurologists. The others were fine. But I believe there seems to be a large difference between the specialties in the UK and the US. Seems there are a few differences.
I'm sure there are but at the same time Dr G is grouping everyone together for the sake of humour.
Hi just discovered your channel (subscribed by the way). Was just wondering, would you consider doing a video on Chiari Malformation please? I have it (type 2) and am forever trying to raise awareness about this diagnosis.
My neurologist is nothing like the neurologist in Dr. G's pantheon.
He/she should be lovely then 😁
@@TheNeurosurgeons he really is. My neurosurgeon is a super nice guy, too.
DR GLAUCOMFLECKEN is right.
Their direct gaze feel like you are been judge by experts only taking notes on what you are doing while keeping a poker face.
Ya Allah, by a glimpse of the thumbnail I knew you are both Arabs & it made me feel so proud of our compatriots🎉
Wow, the shear number of doctors reacting to Glauconflecken is astounding. Guess there’s only one funny doctor.
Doctors are all funny, but no one knows 😂
The UK is lucky to not have the pompous neuro stereotype. Stereotypes really do effect the situation. It decides who actually wants to go for different specialties. The pompous studies follow the path to neuro pretty much every time. Idk how they keep that while being a resident for neurologists/neurosurgeons, but by the time they become doctors or nurse practitioners, they're pompous af. No time for any patients no matter what. When it comes to neurologists, half of them are chronically on vacation. I'm a neuro patient. Never had to see a neurosurgeon, but i regularly see a neurologists because I have SFN (small fiber neuropathy) and still haven't found a working pain medicine. The nurse practitioners suffer the same chronic pompousness as the doctors do. And it seems the front desk ppl have the same issue. It's only dome actual nurses that rn't pompous a-holes. And all the ones I meet when I go for appointments, r new. I'm guessing neurology has a lot of nurse turnover cuz of the pompous air the practice has in the U.S. It also explains y the only front desk person that helped me when I was having an issue with contacting the neurologist, was the after hours front desk nurse. Literally they have someone stay at the desk an additional hr-2 hrs after the work day ends for everyone else. The entire office was dark aside from her computer screen. Anyway, neuro in the U.S. is a pompous specialty where only the truly pompous ppl manage to become. Will (gloucomflecken) has it nailed on the head with his portrayal of the specialty.
Lol both if these docs have wire glasses!
I love that you believe in work-life balance *because it makes you better at the job*, not just merely to be a happy human. :D
When I had my fushion surgery 6 weeks ago I had 2 Anastasia doctor's
Hopefully they made you sleep and wake up at ease 👍
@@TheNeurosurgeons I went in at 9;am local time and was walking 20 minutes after surgery. I was back home by 3:30 pm local time
I’ve loved my neurologists as a patient, but as a nurse in the OR I hated doing neurosurgery. The surgeons were usually the most arrogant (except for a couple of ortho).
My favorite joke: What’s the difference between God and a neurosurgeon? God doesn’t think he’s a neurosurgeon.
Also, you usually can’t see what’s going on unless you’re looking through the microscope, so it’s harder to anticipate what the surgeon will need. That also makes it, in my opinion, boring.
Hey, great video, though I found the echo esp in the second video made it really hard to watch
Thanks Felix.
We are working to fix the sound in our next videos. More of Dr G reactions coming soon, stay tuned
Thanks.
More than welcome. We hope you enjoyed the video
Damn so if my brain injury isnt interesting enough I get a student? Do I get a persuasive essay writer to type up my history before the referral?
Strange I've been in NHS for 17 years and never met a neurosurgeon. Hmmm🤔
At least you have met them on UA-cam 😂
They are aliens anyway 😂
They're always hiding in the OR. That's why 😉
That's because they only work in specialist Neurosurgery departments. I did 3 rotations round Neurosurgery /Neurology in Glasgow in the 1980's - otherwise I wouldn't have met any either.
Hi, I work in the IT field in the U.S., and you keep using odd terms like "Work-Life Balance". Can you put that in layman's terms? I asked all of my developers, network engineers, system admins, and cyber security co-workers, and it has us all stumped.
I know nothing about neurosurgery, but I was wondering, what are the reasons that neurosurgeons don't work in shifts to take breaks as opposed to doing long operations by themselves? Is it more culture or are there more practical matters about patient care why that is the case?
Do a video on Cavernous Malformation. Do you know Dr. Steinberg?
Do surgeons have an innate drive to want to do as many as possible because of the number of student loans they have to pay off?
I see a neurologist every month. He is eccentric, but brilliant. He is really funny, but when it is a serious matter he puts on his doctor face and tells it like it is. BTW he's European.
The neurologist that diagnosed me with neuropathy was just like the one in the vid. He insisted that I was on oxygen because I smoked, which I never have. When he got argumentive about it I listed the other lung diseases that may lead to supplemental oxygen use. He shook his head. He never offered to treat me for the neuropathy. I made sure to pay the 20% remaining after Medicare's payment $5 month. Jerk.
Hilarious watching both of you, on separate sides of the video, smiling and/or laughing at exactly the same comments. lol Apparently you would both consider changing your mailing address to operating room 1.
We definitely understand the razor/shaver, and no we don't trust you with it. Trust you with a scalpel or laser? Yes. Trust you with our brain and spinal cord? When forced to do so, yes, and far more so than anyone else. Trust you with a razor/shave? No, because of your complete and utter indifference to what my head is going to look like when you're done with it.
In the US, neurosurgeons are more coldly logical, lacking in empathy, and psychopathic, whereas neurologists are more narcissistic. In the US, both are considered bullies, along with surgeons. An exception might be pediatric neurology.
In the US, anesthesiologists are known to be kind, empathetic, gentle people who are mostly terrified of being verbally berated by narcissistic surgeons (especially cardiothoracic surgeons). Hence, their love of hiding behind the surgical drape for some semblance of safety. Yet, there is a passive-aggressive side to them, apparently taunting the surgeons about their lack of work-life balance...as they sip coffee, play Candy Crush, and take multiple breaks...as the surgeons stand there sweating under the lights and urinating into a catheter and bag while they operate.
Sadly, in the US, medicine is more about profit, prestige, and privilege. The truly intellectually curious tend to lean toward post-doc research rather than the more greed-driven psychopaths and entitled narcissists that go for large salaries and public admiration.
In the US, medical and surgical specialties, along with Ivy League education, are a festival for those with Cluster B psychopathology.
My favorite is when brothers neurology and neurosurgery go in for family therapy with the psychiatrist, and you begin to understand why neurology turned out so narcissistic after having a psychopathic sibling.
It's hard not to love neurosurgery's unapologetic indifference, but in each character, you can almost see the early childhood they must have endured, and imagine why they are the way they are...which is a more human, touching thing to consider (if you don't have to work with them).
Funny kids wanna play escape from new york
subtitles not working, can't watch
Even his name is funny
That's true :)
🦘
whats with this therapy thing... he is constantly doing therapy with all types of doctors? This isn't a mandatory thing for doctors is it?
out of all the doctors reacting to Dr Glaucomflecken... you two are the most (least?) emotionless reacters i've seen.
Maybe there's some truth to Dr. G portrait of neurosurgeon?
I love Your videos, I bet You are the emmisary of international neurosurgeons's secret association to lure potential talent into false security with Your kindness,warmth and personality, I just know it 😶😊
I would be extremely grateful if You could one day divulge more on the emotional aspects of this subspecialty - specifically
1. How ow many,on average, patients You see experience significant improvements and long survival rates, how many are oncological versus traumatic, how many are unfortunately terminal or with very poor prognosis, how many inherently experience severe life-altering complications from surgery and so on?
2. How do You deal with it? Would You, personally of course, recommend neurosurgical subspecialty to those of us who have tendency to "take work home" (as in bonding and empathizing with patients way more than it's professionally necessary, taking personal time to talk to them, arrange care beyond your scope and even crusade on their behalf if you perceive the care level in other aspects might be improved, and so on and so forth)? My colleagues and supervisors from my hospice training program laughingly advise me to go into pathology because it's the only way I'll ever get any work-life balance. Is learning detachment necessary? How difficult is it to balance the peculiar difficulties of neurological damage in patients, being witness to so many life-shattering and altering events and decisions, Your own mental health and emotional well-being with being an empathetic,caring doctor?
3. What are the differences in case types, difficulty and case load between pediatric neurosurgery and adult neurosurgery?
4. Any advice to new doctors how to stay kind and empathetic while remaining impartial and reducing the emotional burden and risk of burnout?
Cheers ❤️
Dr on left has less humour. React sir don't explain!
😂 I believe that’s me 😂 I will do my best next time 😂
@@TheNeurosurgeons You be you. 🙂
