@@JohhnyG Thank you. I has been tough mentally, physically and emotionally. I don't ever want to go through something like this again. I thought Total Knee Replacement (on my other leg) was bad. Doesn't compare.
@@JohhnyG I work in a large hospital as an Inpatient Financial Counselor and was working overtime to help an inpatient unit. I was walking through the atrium and I tripped over my feet. Well, at least I didn't need an ambulance to the ER. LOL Of course, they wanted to put me in a wheelchair. Oh heck no. I can't bend my knee. So, they had to get a stretcher. What a painful nightmare.
Translation: 1. Sorry to bug you man, got a guy in the ER 2. Dang that sucks, I had plans tonight 3. Good news, it's a femur case 4. Oh easy money? Awesome, be right there
I’m dying, this is hilarious! I recently discovered the night I shattered my femur (stage 3 fracture right on the edge between classic femoral neck and intertrochanteric), they contacted my now-orthopedist with, “Hey, you wanna ditch that boring dinner? We’ve got a destroyed femur here.” That was all it took, he fled the dinner party and came to fix me. It’s been 17 years since and I still see that ortho, he’s fucking amazing!
@@lydiademarek - the far better story is that my mom nearly strangled him when they first met! I destroyed my femur on Labor Day (US federal holiday), so finding someone with the skills to fix it was a cluster fuck despite being in a big city. I have a recurring genetic benign tumor in that hip and the fracture went right through it, so over 14 orthopedists declined to touch it. By the time they found a doc and shuttled me across town, it’d been 12 hours since my accident. I was totally out if it, hallucinating from pain, so everyone was very much on edge. (I did say it was a clusterfuck and I meant it! Everything that could go wrong, did.) So we’re finally at the second hospital, just waiting for the two surgeons to arrive (bone tumor guy (who’d just operated on me a month earlier) and reconstruction dude (the new doc)), and in walks this scruffy looking guy in old jeans, grass stained sneakers, a tee shirt, and no credentials on. The guy looked no older than 25. He walks in, slaps an X-ray on the light board, flips it on, and says, “Let’s look at these together, shall we mom and dad?” Dude turns to look at X-ray, then back to my parents, and says, “ooooh, that’s not good!” That’s when my mom lost it. She’d run out of cool hours ago and was hanging on by a thread. (To be fair, I was 17 and at risk of losing my leg entirely.) She lunged for the guy, only stopped by the bed between them. Guy backs up, hands in the air, and says, “Whoops! My bad! I’m the surgeon!” Thankfully everything worked out and despite my leg sucking, it’s still attached. And my mom and my surgeon are good friends now, lol. But it was certainly an eventful night!
As a Johnathan in Ortho, this is accurate. The bigger the bone, the bigger the tools you get to use. The opposite of this consult would be a DIP injury with mallet deformity. Finger tips are tricky. The most urgent of these consults would be Compartment Syndrome.
@@formicone7 It's not the size of the tool that matters, it's the competence of the surgeon wielding it. Or the ortho nurse changing the bit when the chuck is covered in marrow (my knee ortho can complain about that for five minutes straight without repeating himself).
I worked a gig where the boss would call me up and say Georgetown 24 and hang up the phone. I knew exactly what to do. Phone efficiency is most appreciated.
Sometimes. I've also met one who shined a light straight into the eyes of someone with migraine -repeatedly, left us waiting for hours, then literally screamed at us to leave. Our nurse stood where he could hear and said in a fairly loud voice something like "sorry we don't have a good doctor right now." In rural med you have to take what you get, and sometimes it's not good.
Breaking a femur truly does represent the extremes of human experience. Probably the worst pain one could experience by the patient, and the greatest joy experienced by the ortho.
Yay! I caught this less than a minute after you posted! Love your stuff. I pray that some day you'll talk about EMS and us ambulance jockeys. We need you.
@@allisonavery7273 SECONDED, best paramedic/emergency services humor on UA-cam, and that guy has incredible acting chops when he shows off his range now and then (but his default self-insert character tone is also fabulous)
For those that don't get it: femurs are literally the easiest consult you're gonna get because it's the largest bone in the body and once they tell you why they need a consult you already know what it is and where to look 99% of the time. The other 1% you get to kick back and refer to internal med or oncology follow up with a one sentence note after a quick glance at the scans. They're also the easiest thing to work on if they have to follow-up with you compared to basically every large/vital bone structure. His ER bro is essentially just sending him easy money, which is always good news -- but especially so when you've pulled consult duty (which is usually the hardest stuff because it's making literal doctors outside your specialty go "wtf is this now?" with the sideways head tilt like a puppy).
@@grayspice9543 this also just costs so much more money. I've gone from consultation to consultation about my knee inflammation and it turned out to be costly. Never seemed effective to me, but maybe I just had something weird(solved it through exercise years layer)

The joke trope Ortho in the UK is that they're carpenters. You used to hear things like "get it stabilised in a back slab so that woodwork can get access for review tomorrow"
I worked in CSS and it sounds like a wood working/metal working shop when they are operating quite often. It was quite the shock hearing then seeing what a total knee case is like. The stereotype fits and makes sense. You gotta be strong to do that work. You know those ridiculous scenes in South Park where they show Doctors just essentially butchering the people on the table.

Getting called to a 3am lift assist at a nursing home for the thousandth time vs when you get there and there's actually an injury so I can practice medicine like a big boy.
You know what I love about medicine? Is that it pulls in literally every type of person. It's available to absolutely everybody they just situate themselves and their specialties depending on their personality. It's so predictable it's hilarious. Well at least that's what the data says. - Research department
I have a friend who went into internal medicine... He started his medical career when he had to get first aid training when he was a ski bum and working the slopes and just kept getting more and more certifications that he enjoyed. So at 30 he went to med school. He's still a ski bum.
I was an MA at an orthopedic clinic for a little over a year and lemme just say the femurs were definitely the most interesting 😂 My eyes lit up too hahaha! Especially the ones that were in multiple pieces. Crazy! Gunshot wound? Wild!
I stumbled on you recently & you are now the king of medical comedy! I mean seriously, YOU ARE SO FRICKING FUNNY! Anyone who works in medical has to just crack up so hard & laughter in THESE TIMES IS GOLD!!💖💙
Honestly, it's underrated how much physicians are always seen as physicians. Your friends that still see you as a person are important! (hubby got a medical degree and now we get more phone calls from a lot of family/friends. sigh)
We love my ortho so much , he fixed the most broken down joints that he said were, ‘’as bad as it gets’’. I am back from what would have been hopeless w another doc around here. I got the BEST! We both hug him and tell him we love him when i go in for a check up, he hugs back. His hand are like stone covered with skin. My oh my, he is a super strong smiley dude!
Orthopedic surgeon recognised my mother's cervical spine, spinal cord stroke after 13hrs in ED. I have so much respect for their level of objectivity in a world where everyone is hearing hoofbeats and thinking horses not zebras.
During one of admissions I had a scan done on my hip that will frequently sublux. Ortho briwfly mentioned it appeared I had a stress fracture in my hip and said they'd be back shortly, they ordered physio to come and teach me how to walk without putting ANY weight on my hip as it was broken... MY GOOD HIP! after an hour or so of laughing at how this was insane the PT gal and I were rolling (props to anyone who has had to use a walker for this. Learning to walk when you can.. walk is hard af). Ortho comes back and says let do another scan just to make sure it isn't a bubble or shadowing from my tubes. Luckily they picked up my walker and took it away a few hours later.
@@dr.lemons5800 I love scrubs, however they didn't go in details with each speciality. It was always only about surgeons and internists. And some of the stereotypes presented were not really accurate.
How can you be so vague that nobody knows what you're saying yet the other party knows what you're saying? It's like its own cryptic language. Fascinating
Eh, it's kinda like boys vs girls Pictionary, especially if the women know each other well. One gal gets a card, timer starts, she draws a line and her friend immediately says, "Snapdragon!" And the guys are like: ?????
It's really a fictional perspective based on old stereotypes though. The hospitals I've worked at as Internal-Medicine doctor don't have any 'Dude-bro' Ortho doctors, it's more classic grumpy doctors who need to be convinced there's a problem serious enough for them to come in
That’s hilarious 😂. 2 of my favorite instructors, one is orthopedic and one is chiropractor and that’s exactly how they communicate. So professional. Lol
I work for a medical college (I organise and manage Fellowship clinical exams) and although not medical myself, I work with a lot of fantastic doctors. This is very enlightening!
Doctors have incredibly steady hands in my experience - only people I know who can make perfect panoramas and long focus shots without tripods. I don't know how they do it, but when I exclaim about it I'm usually told some variation of "I operate on live humans, you idiot! Of course I need to have steady hands"
@@Punz18 that doesn't stop ortho from prescribing it. Or nurses from administering it. Never seen a reaction so it's definitely less than a 10% chance. Plus, first dose is intraop. Anesthesia can save the day in between puzzles ;-)
@@faeriegal713 so funny thing is this is exactly how I found out I was allergic. Surgery about to start, anaphylaxis, then IV benadryl and admitted for observation. Now it's in my medical record. Lol
The tibia, also known as the shinbone or shankbone, is the larger and stronger of the two bones in the leg below the knee, and it connects the knee with the ankle bones. The tibia is found on the medial side of the leg next to the fibula and closer to the median plane or center line. The tibia is connected to the fibula by the interosseous membrane of the leg, forming a type of fibrous joint called a syndesmosis with very little movement. It is the second largest bone in the human body next to the femur. The leg bones are the strongest long bones as they support the rest of the body.
I fell and blew out my femur in July, still in hospital recuperating. In my mind this was exactly the convo between the ER and my trauma orthopedic surgeon.
i was an engineer in the oilfield for 15 years i worked well control everything from deep well high pressure to blow outs and fighting oil/gas well fires…that was my reaction when i would hear “we have a blow out” and then “it’s on fire”…
Love your clips! Would love to see a colab with you and Julia J. Nurse! She’s a small channel with great humor and expression! Honestly though, she may actually be in the same boat as you were in with someone stealing her content on tiktok and posting it on UA-cam. You have learned so much since the incident, maybe you can help others ~see~ they too have been scammed 👀
@@DGlaucomflecken That's exactly what happened! I remember since this was one of my favourite videos haha. (S)he posted it either the day before or the same day that you posted your first video explaining that there was a fake account.
LOL! Reminds me of the ER ortho being super excited by my compound tib-fib. Offered to take a picture of it for me, because it was “epic”, which I declined at the time but now wish I had. In that moment it felt like seeing a picture of it would only make it feel like it hurt more. I didn’t look at it at all until after the tibial mail repair was completed. Thankfully, have made a lot of progress since then!

To all my dear colleagues, “biopsy” nor “urgent” are valid clinical data for your pathology specimens.
Do a series of shorts or videos of EM interacting with every specialty 😂❤love it always.
Help im on a Glaucomflecken binge
No known cure. Disney videos are being overprescribed. Just ride it out. Maybe rub some dirt into it and take a lap.
I love these! It sheds some light on how things work in the world of medicine 😂
It's really a fictional perspective based on old stereotypes though. The hospitals I've worked at as Internal-Medicine doctor don't have any 'Dude-bro' Ortho doctors, it's more classic grumpy doctors who need to be convinced there's a problem serious enough for them to come in
The fact that your ‘phone’ is a hard drive is incredible.
Well obviously he's using his real phone to record this 😂
That’s hilarious 😂. 2 of my favorite instructors, one is orthopedic and one is chiropractor and that’s exactly how they communicate. So professional. Lol
You need to do merch. Can we please get “ortho bro” on a sweatshirt? Santa?
I just about ran outta breath laughing I was not prepared for this to hit so hard. Golden!
I feel like I need extra, special subtitles for some of those
Femur are literally the easiest consult u can do. Basically the ER Doc sending money
I work for a medical college (I organise and manage Fellowship clinical exams) and although not medical myself, I work with a lot of fantastic doctors. This is very enlightening!
Can you post the one about the med student delivering a baby for the first time? I love that one!
May just be my favorite channel on the tube these days 🤙🏻
I've used this for ortho also lmao it works. I thought the "guess what?" was going to follow with "the hot nurse is here tonight"
These are EVERYTHING to me. Bill's curing my medical trauma so hard lol.
Orthopedic Surgeons wake up every day and choose _violence_

I don't laugh often, but when i do, i laugh b/c of this excellent series of short vids
I can see in the reflection that he's filming by just holding his phone out at arm's length. How does he hold it so steady!?
Doctors have incredibly steady hands in my experience - only people I know who can make perfect panoramas and long focus shots without tripods. I don't know how they do it, but when I exclaim about it I'm usually told some variation of "I operate on live humans, you idiot! Of course I need to have steady hands"
This made me chuckle. I work in an ortho clinic. Can confirm, docs get a bit excited when there's a surgery involved, and a femur at that
As someone who lives in California, I’m confused. Isn’t this just how people talk normally?! 😂
Bro....
Yeah. Except they say "REEEEEEEEE" and "waycism"
This doctor is so smart, cute, and funny. I hope he keeps making videos ^_^.
Knowing how ortho works, Ancef is going to show up somewhere.
But the patient is allergic to Penicillin.....
@@Punz18 that doesn't stop ortho from prescribing it. Or nurses from administering it. Never seen a reaction so it's definitely less than a 10% chance.
Plus, first dose is intraop. Anesthesia can save the day in between puzzles ;-)
@@faeriegal713 so funny thing is this is exactly how I found out I was allergic. Surgery about to start, anaphylaxis, then IV benadryl and admitted for observation. Now it's in my medical record. Lol
This is where the term "team-based care" comes into play. Nice video!
ER: wassup
ortho: wassup
ER: fibula
ortho: im coming
bro what the hell is a fibia
@@mimigottfried8604 it’s a long bone in the lower leg.
@@rinnyrindawg He wrote "fibia" in the comment, and edited afterwards to fibula which actually is a bone, fibia however, isn't.
Fibula & tibia = fibia (Joke)
The tibia, also known as the shinbone or shankbone, is the larger and stronger of the two bones in the leg below the knee, and it connects the knee with the ankle bones. The tibia is found on the medial side of the leg next to the fibula and closer to the median plane or center line. The tibia is connected to the fibula by the interosseous membrane of the leg, forming a type of fibrous joint called a syndesmosis with very little movement. It is the second largest bone in the human body next to the femur. The leg bones are the strongest long bones as they support the rest of the body.
I fell and blew out my femur in July, still in hospital recuperating. In my mind this was exactly the convo between the ER and my trauma orthopedic surgeon.
I keep forgetting that it's him holding the camera when I see the reflection when he wears shades what a pro
Genuinely the funniest thing of my week
My jaw is on the floor! Internal Medicine has some catching up to do 😊
this is the best thing I've ever seen on this channel
As someone that’s had their femur operated on 4 times, this is accurate 😂
This is probably my favorite so far.
Bro! Nothing like a good nail pounding early in the morning!😂😂
Pretty much every ortho ever was a peak varsity high school/college athlete in their day. Absolute legends
Is it just me or is the video glitching a bit?
Yeah you’re right 🤔 probably Bill’s fault
@@DGlaucomflecken Jonathan is trying to send us a secret "HELP" message!
@@Minecraftrok999 It's the activation sequence for the resistance. The uprising has begun.
Was looking for this comment
@@masterofdesaster8 Make sure your Visine stash is handy.
ER Doc is spot on. They are unique. They also don't like to wear socks.
Little glitch, the imposter’s didn’t glitch. I think Bill is covering for Jonathan 🤔
Thought it was just me experiencing this!
freakin love that the phone is a hard drive
That is hilarious. I'm gonna send this to my uncle he's derma to see how relatable that is to him.
Omg I laugh my fool ass off at these. Dr. G you’re a comic physician genius!
Lmaoo I was like this when I got close to my colleagues. Just dude and bros everywhere 😂
So funny to see the reflection of your arms recording a selfie video in the sunglasses Lmaoo
"Super serious injury that will tale hours to fix, but it's the femur so that's cool" is what I got from that
i was an engineer in the oilfield for 15 years i worked well control everything from deep well high pressure to blow outs and fighting oil/gas well fires…that was my reaction when i would hear “we have a blow out” and then “it’s on fire”…
Can wait for the GI doc Schmidt mash up
I heard ortho described as a frat house. It was a perfect description.
Love your clips! Would love to see a colab with you and Julia J. Nurse! She’s a small channel with great humor and expression! Honestly though, she may actually be in the same boat as you were in with someone stealing her content on tiktok and posting it on UA-cam. You have learned so much since the incident, maybe you can help others ~see~ they too have been scammed 👀
It's cracks me up seeing the reflection of him holding his phone in his sunglasses 😂😎
Have you put this in a compilation? I’m sure I’ve seen it recently (as in after you took the fake down)
No I haven’t posted this one yet. I think the fake might have posted it right before he was removed
@@DGlaucomflecken That's exactly what happened! I remember since this was one of my favourite videos haha. (S)he posted it either the day before or the same day that you posted your first video explaining that there was a fake account.
The best part is this actually makes sense in context
The only fake part is when ortho answers the phone immediately. Also sounded a bit too chipper.
LOL! Reminds me of the ER ortho being super excited by my compound tib-fib. Offered to take a picture of it for me, because it was “epic”, which I declined at the time but now wish I had. In that moment it felt like seeing a picture of it would only make it feel like it hurt more.
I didn’t look at it at all until after the tibial mail repair was completed. Thankfully, have made a lot of progress since then!
