As a rep, yeah! :) I do some of this when my docs get flustered. Doing it more for the patient than for the surgeon. You gotta remember there is a person on the table and when these cases get tricky it can be super easy for the surgeon to make a mistake. I’m not gonna get down and massage their feet, but yeah, I try to keep the room more relaxed. I try to save this stuff for: A) the residents who are trying hard but getting absolutely reamed by teaching surgeons, B) the staff when they get screamed at by the surgeon for something trivial, and C) the actual really really talented surgeons. I had no problem telling the urologist who basketed out 56 kidney stones in just under 4 minutes that was some of the most remarkable work I’d ever seen. You’d be amazed what happens in surgery.
I just got a medtronic peripheral nerve stimulator placed. And I can tell you there was a dude named Randy and this was his job basically. I asked what he did in the surgery and he literally said "Oh I make sure the stimulator is placed right and Im basically a coach." Thats so funny!
Well, that is one great comment you wrote right there. So elegantly worded. Such profound, inspiring thoughts! It is sentences like these that lead to all the greatness in the world. Next to you, even the most famous philosopher's words sound like childish babbling. It is no wonder the Oxford Dictionary comes to you for advice. I would do the same if only your grand superiority didn't overshadow all of our existence.
As someone who's high in Agreeableness and has a fawn response, I feel I've been BORN for this job 😂😂 been doing it for decades for free; who knew I could get paid!
Haha, it would've been so cool if at the end the surgeon would've answered like - "...I...love you too." Or better even, a long look and then - "Thanks......I...love me too." and a genuine look of adoration on his face. 😁😄😍 Thanks for the great video, I love your skits! 👍🏻🥰
“The surgeon is the star on the OR, also known as Broadway. The OR lights above the patient? Those shine upon the surgeon as he or she performs a soliloquy, a hit solo song, which is the surgical procedure.” This is what a surgeon friend of mine had told me several times in the past.
Surgery is a lot like showbiz: Hurry up and wait, ginormous, competing egos, riders (surgeon preference cards- no brown MnMs! ), lights camera action (Time Out), set-up and tear-down of sets, and narcotics.
Husband is an orth spine surgeon "the spine guy " on UA-cam and he sent me this and it's totally accurate. I need to make sure his head fits through the door at the end of the night... me: "hi hon... please take the garbage out" Ok, now you come home. Lol! Jkjk😆😆👍
OMG this is so accurate..im on Surgery right now and the rep is the only person the Surgeon will even talk to and he talks shit about the other people in the room to the rep constantly while the rep has his back at all times, talking him up. Holy hell this video hits home right now.
Being a rep for 25 years, I'm afraid the comment about a week's training isnt quite accurate- at least in my specialty. One other benefit of being a rep is you work with a lot of surgeons and all their skill levels aren't the same. Some are great and some aren't, so you see best practices and worst practices. That gives you the opportunity to help increase the skill levels of the bottom tier- as long as you are gentle and courteous and they are willing to listen. Most are, they know your there for the patient and to help the surgeon any way you can. Most surgeons I know aren't interested in "yes men", they would rather have an honest answer so they can improve their skills.
I’ve worked in the OR for years, first as a tech and now as an RN, and I always admire the phrases that the reps can come up with to appease and inflate the surgeons’ egos. Especially during those very tense situations.
A few times in my first year of med school I was shadowing surgery, and some of the residents I was temporarily handed off to each time clearly thought poorly of my interest in the science and engineering involved in the new surgical tech. 😑 As a result, the device reps repeatedly ended up being *my* emotional support reps. 😆 They were clearly thrilled to have someone in the OR who was actually excited about their expertise too, and twice I even had lunch with them between cases. I’ve decided pretty firmly against surgery, though. 😂
@@willofdodge1 At the rate things are going, I’m probably going to be one of the people developing those devices. My best friend works for Stryker (strangely enough a company whose reps I’ve never encountered in clinic so far), and her boss keeps telling her to “Remind your med student friend who he should contact if he ever wants to collaborate with industry.” 😂 Certainly, having that be part of my work as a future physician-scientist would be pretty cool.
@@Pope_of_the_Church_of_Tea No I was serious. You seemed interested in that. And your last comment to @willofdodge1 suggests that I wasn't far off. Developing the devices would've been my next guess.
It's a Stryker squad. Met my husband at a Stryker event 15 years ago...they totally inflated him to God like status. Best spine surgeon in the world .... (he was a chief resident at the time). 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣.... What happens in Vegas doesn't always stay there.. happily married and together since.. all due to what his I guess... "emotional support rep" ? Love it 😂😂😂
I am absolutely an emotional support PA. On my first day training my surgeon told me that my 3 jobs as the first assist are: 1. Visualization 2. Gentle counter traction and 3. Moral support I take my job very seriously 😁
You forgot holding retractors for 5 continuous hours during surgery on morbidly o see patients. Doing this was punishment for any med student who failed to kiss sufficient ass and offer continuous praise during OR time performed by senior most resident.
I worked with a Cardiology Group for 24 years, and then went to work for a major Pacemaker Company. So I was the company rep. at many pacemaker surgeries! ☺️❤️ I love the Stryker hat on the emotional support character! 🤣 Great touch. 😄
I have been told that the Sun is just a dead star that is reflecting the brilliance of all the Surgeons egos back to us. They keep us all alive in more ways than one.
As someone who works in the OR, I can confirm that vendor reps are complete asskissers. Their salary depends on the commission they get from the products surgeons use. If they don't make their sales quotas, they're gone. Stryker is especially notorious for this. I've heard of reps picking up laundry and walking dogs for these surgeons before.
It can kinda depend on the procedure and surgeon preference as well. A lot of ortho surgeons have a system they prefer over another. Arthrex, Synthes, Stryker, etc. So the rep may not need to do as much ass kissing b/c the surgeon is going to use their system anyway
This is gold! The peak ego inflation usually occurs at the beginning of the case when the surgeon squares up to the 3 foot wide garbage from across the room and tosses in the spent coban, the reps throw up their arms and lets out a simultaneous cheer to signal that they have just witnessed an unparalleled athletic feat. This usually sets the tone of how the rest of the case will go.
The best way to watch the videos in this channel: 1- Watch the video and laugh 2- Read the comments to understand all the technical words and people’s experience (laugh more) 3- Watch the video again but now with more understanding and you will break lose laughing.
As a previous ortho rep I approve this message 😂 Although I’m terrible at compliments, especially when people are just doing their job. maybe why I’m not doing that job anymore 😂
Ah. Yeah see pharmaceutical friend told me about this. You see the neurologist's ego is like a sin wave with the surgeon's being a cosine wave. They cancel one another out provided the surgeon is confident enough. Otherwise the surgeon's ego waves will be overwhelmed by the neurologist's and overall the magnetic field of the hospital will be put into jeopardy as an ego singularity might form which might cause the computers in admin or pharma to run slow. At which point the earth actually stops turning until everything is fixed.
A PA tried saying the directions that I normally say in one case and the surgeon told her that he likes it better when I do it because I provide regular positive reinforcement 😂
Ha! The end was hilarious. We had an employee and rep in EP that, as the case went on, we joked that their heads further disappeared up the docs anoos. We predicted what the rep was going to say in the control room like one of those infomercial.
🤣all dialogues were hilarious, but the last one was 'super' hilarious. The way anesthasiast poped out his head to check a ' romantic ending of a surgery' , that was gigled me alot. Regards, Mrs Muneeb from 🇵🇰
I had been this emotional support for Neurosurgeons. They don't have ego, the EGO own them. By being an assist for too long and continuously being emotional support drain all my emotions except anger. Now I am emotionally damaged by these surgeons over inflated ego. I am done, only Dr Glauc is the reason that I am still connected with this world.
Finally Surgeon got a Jonathan. Surgeon can also give gift service of emotional support rep to family medicine the way opthal gifted Jonathan's service😊
I thought that he was gonna say with an emotional support rep. Surgery achieved the ego of a neurosurgeon.... But soon realized it is impossible, such an gigantic amount of egos would shift the gravitational center of the earth and pull us off orbit.
How do I like infinity times. Laughing out loud and more realistic comments from the Ego rep..ahem... Emotional support rep kept coming... Wow, speechless! 💕🤗
...I wanted to be a pediatric neurosurgeon earlier than kindergarten...I wanted to save babies' lives, but then I learned that they could still die in surgery and changed my mind. I'm ultimately glad that I changed my mind by six, because I started having essential tremors by thirteen. I also have dyscalculia and dyspraxia, so it really would not have worked out well.
I feel this so hard! Somehow I finished high school with undiagnosed dyscalculia, and my first month of Chem 101 was a huge slap in the face. So much for being a microbiologist! I also wanted to be an astronaut, but understood really young that not having 20/20 vision was a deal breaker. Now I've spent over 15 years making video games that let people be astronauts (among other things) on strange new worlds. And play golf? With frogs. Frolf. Eh, I'm good with how things turned out.
I like that. I think I could find a way to use it. We have a 100% pure Jeckel/Hyde psychopath surgeon, and I quote "I am your spaniel." W. Shakespeare.

But what about an Emotional Support Jonathan? o.O No words ever spoken, just the constant knowledge that he's there, complimenting everything you've ever done with a small smile and deft nod. >:D
This might actually be a meta-commentary for how meritocratic and unjust the healthcare system is by depicting the surgeon receiving the privilege of an emotional support rep that exponentially bloats his self-esteem - thereby also boosting his real-world esteem - and we counterpoint this with Family Medicine's lack of any support figure despite being the one who desperately needs it, much like how the bourgeoisie get richer and the desolate get poorer Or it's really just poking fun at surgeons and technical reps and I leaned too deep into this sketch.
The fact that the "Suck-up must be ~in love♡~ with the boss" joke trascends all borders and languages is really hilarious to me. ...and apparently to all cultures.
As a rep who works with ansthesia (and is a long time SICU/Trauma ICU/ CVICU nurse, I laughed out loud at the “less than 50cc EBL”. EBL is such a pride thing, sometimes they under estimate a wee bit
I'm studying to become a surgeon and I'm hoping and praying that we don't actually get emotional support rep's LOL I'd be laughing so much that I'd cut someone's insides.
If you have even a scintilla of self-awareness, being around these ass-kissing reps will make you sick to your stomach, and you will avoid them like the plague. And that's coming from sommeone who's been an attending surgeon for over 31 years.

I need a love story between the surgeon and his emotional support rep.
I'm putting this video in my favorites JUST for the comments. Awesome job of creating community Flock!
Another great video from the doctor. Thanks
As a Stryker emotional support rep I cannot find this more true XD
They must use the neurologist and the neurosurgeon’s egos to map out the universe then.
PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE INCORPORATE THE CHAPLAIN
Sir, you do not miss! 😂
this is oneof the best ones ahh🤣🤣🤣🤣
Loved sharing this with our Exactech and Globus reps! 😄
No handed Knot is that even possible whatt hahahaa
When your emotional support goes a little too far...
Behind the towel, was that the patient????🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣😆🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
I'm studying to become a surgeon and I'm hoping and praying that we don't actually get emotional support rep's LOL I'd be laughing so much that I'd cut someone's insides.
If you have even a scintilla of self-awareness, being around these ass-kissing reps will make you sick to your stomach, and you will avoid them like the plague. And that's coming from sommeone who's been an attending surgeon for over 31 years.
I cant wait to congratulate you on a million subs. :)
He is probably also the one that answers the phone while the surgeon is doing his thang! LOL
