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.
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*
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.
"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
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❣️
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 😂😂😂
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!
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."
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.
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.
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.
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!
Mount Wycheproof in Victoria, Australia is often considered the world's smallest mountain. It stands at 141 feet (43 meters) above the surrounding plain.
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."
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 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!
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!
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"
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.
"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.
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 😂
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!
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 This is literally what happens !! We all have been at the receiving end of such comments, and these have really helped to shape us. And, they are evergreen topics for laughs at our reunions !!
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. 😅😅😅😅
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.
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.
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
@@jillefeldme9452 Actually my professor often did saying that it was the only part of one of his masterpieces that the pt. saw, so it was very important.
the "are you sure you're right handed" thing made me cackle, because while I am right handed, I found that it was way way way more intuitive to suture backhand, and discovered this halfway through my surgery rotation, so by the end of it all of the scrub nurses knew I wanted the needle driver loaded left handed
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 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.
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: czcams.com/video/25J3u3P-HHg/video.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'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!
As someone who's def had an entire OR stare at me expectantly with some mix of mocking & dead eyes, as I tried desperately to close quicker... on more than one occasion... this is accurate af. Good times 😂
Little does General Surgery know that his kids graduated college 5 years ago

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
