@@aditsu to be fair the kidney bone is connected to the eye bone. See a lot more keratoconjunctivitis sicca and periorbital edema in folks with kidney disease (though he may not care about the latter I'm sure patients still come to him because of it)
This is my theory. Ortho didn't think his orders were right, but he figured it would summon a nephrologist he could trick into admitting his patient for him.
Right? I think it's super sweet how Ortho clearly made Salt Bro feel seen and validated, by speaking directly to how real and personal his fondness for his little bean buddies really is 😆 Ortho Bro has his doofy side but he's always so wholesome and empathetic to everyone
Laughed heartily at this. The medicine punch card gag was underrated! I guess summoning Nephro is a toss up between incorrect IV fluid orders and inappropriate Lasix orders. Now we really need a sketch where Ortho just becomes a technical competent bone genius for a split second to manage an ortho problem then revert back to being a bumbling dudebro once it has been solved. Just a change of pace from all the "bullying" done to our precious intellectual punching bag. 🤣
Yessssssssssss!!! Something like a complex polytrauma that needs reconstruction surgery. My ortho basically rebuilt my radius which was bone dust after my accident
Yep, true. (Many) orthos really are this dumb, but hand them a newborn with a crumpled foot and with just two little cuts, some bandaging and two years time they turn it into something the kid can walk on. They can be artists as well.
Architects, too. My own ortho pieced together the distal end of my tibia from the three pieces it broke into, and put a titanium rod into a somewhat shattered fibula. Screws, wire(?), and some kind of cage were involved, I think. It seemed to be an interesting engineering feat. I love my bone bro. He's smart at what I need him to be.

It's a funny stereotype but orthopaedic surgery is consistently in the top 3 most competitive specialties, pretty much everyone matching is near the top of their class, so it is a 'nerdy' specialty to some degree. Working out is pretty much a requirement aswell, ever tried hammering 2 femoral nails in? Very hard work, need good strength and stamina for complex cases.
Nah... neph isn't being kind.... sometimes its just not worth the effort and easier to do it for them. (I love my orthopods and not such a fan of my nephs!)
I love the nephrologist using empty salt cans as amplifiers to hear incompetent clicks 🤣 Also poor Ortho! I love his humility when nephrologist asks "Don't you know what that leads to?" and ortho is like "You know I don't, salt bro 😕"

My X was a dialysis patient and also had multiple heart surgeries. It was amazing how EVERY TIME the hospital messed up on the fluids and totally overloaded him with IV fluids. Then, when admitted as a heart patient, they would never take into account his kidney needs and would order a heart friendly diet that was totally at odds with requirements to dialysis patient needs. As his patient advocate, it was a full-time job to not let the hospital do more harm - even going so much as to constantly remind them they couldn't use his dialysis arm for blood pressure or for blood draws.
At first I was gonna ask “why doesn’t he just show them what they’re supposed to do?” But… then I saw it was Ortho, and decided to retract my question.
It's how I explain AKIs to patients. Your kidneys are a little sad because they didn't get enough water, but we'll try to perk them up a bit. Your kidneys are sad because they didn't like the medications you had. Try not to use nurofen in the future, ok?
@D S "Your kidneys got tired of being overworked and underpaid, and thus have been quiet quitting. If you don't treat them nicely, they may decide to retire early and we will need to subcontract the labor to a dialysis machine, which is too generic for your unique needs and not a good long-term strategy. If it gets to that point, you will need a new bean buddy from another body. We try not to get to that point, because your body is highly suspicious of any new employees and we have to shut down half your security personnel to keep your new bean buddy and yourself alive"

@@zarifzaman6381 your blood likes to be at a specific salt level because of a lot of things like osmosis of water into the cells (I think idk I genuinely have zero medical qualifications for anything and I don’t plan on getting some 😎) your kidneys are filters for your blood and so the more hypertonic, or hypotonic the saline level in your blood is it’ll either suck up or add too much water to your blood. And the thing the nephrologist mentioned about the acidosis thing is I think because your blood also needs to be at a specific pH level, and the disassociation of excess chlorine ions makes your blood more acidic. That nephrologist dude has to be very particular about managing the salt levels in peoples bodies (again I could be totally wrong I have zero medical background on anything I’m literally a meteorologist) hope this helps. :))))))
The depth your characters have is honestly amazing. The interpersonal dialogue and the emotional complexities are all captured and packaged into a bite-sized video. This is a piece of art. Thank you and please keep making content.
We’re learning about fluids in Vet Tech school and it’s so complicated. Though I am happy to report I understood most of what he said. Maybe I’ll understand more next semester!
It takes an iterative process to get these things. Like the face on ortho -- you can't just slam them with ALL the info all at once. You need some info to form the foundation so people can understand and appreciate the next part and so on. Some is foundational to understanding the rest. For me, it was developmental processes (pregnancy, prenatal/neonatal)...
Here's the thing, you learn a lot of these things with experience. Then you read books and you understand why you're putting in certain orders. You might even be able to suggest better alternatives. Inj. N.S. 500 mL IV Inj. R.L. 500 mL IV Inj. GNS 500 mL IV over 24 hours is a good starting base. 1500 mLs per day is maintenance for the average sized adult. The actual way of calculating the maintaining fluids requirements is by Holliday Segar's formula, which is 4 mL/kg/hr for the first 10 kilograms, 2mL/kg/hr for the next 10 kilograms and 1mL/kg/hr for every subsequent 10 kilograms. Add more if deficits are present. Reduce if the pt. has cardiac or renal insufficiency. Always mind the electrolytes and the anion gap! Inj. NS 1000 mL IV stat (fast) is the trauma fluids bolus order before a blood transfusion. (Dosage of NS is 20-30 mL per kg over the first hour) You typically need to infuse 3 times the volume of isotonic crystalloid than the blood loss. You'll naturally get more and more adept at modifying such orders with time. Hope it helps. Best wishes.
Just don't give LR to patients with hypercalcemia, and don't give NS to burn patients and you'll be ahead of the curve lol. And if you give more than 1 or 2 units of any crystalloid in cases of massive bleeding where patients need blood products you're gonna have more serious problems than hypovolemic shock.
I’m going through a hard time right now as an adult dealing with an aneurysmal bone cyst diagnosis. It is typically seen in Peds, and it basically has two groups of radically different treatments depending on whether the closest expert on the condition is an Orthopedic Surgeon or an Interventional Radiologist. It would be interesting to see a skit about this or a similar condition that has two very different treatments based on which specialist is in charge of it. I would love to see them argue haha
I can sure identify! I always get conflicting recommendations from my various specialists. Or recommendations where the specialist doesn't take some aspect of my condition into consideration. Most recently, I'm having bad headaches, but I'm taking the max dose of NSAIDs for my weight, which leaves Tylenol or opoids for pain. I really hate taking opoids, so I was taking 500mg every 6 hours. I told my rheumatologist and he says that's no problem, adults can take up to 3000mg per day. I just ignored it because he had obviously forgotten I only weigh 80lbs, and also take other meds (like statins) that affect the liver. You pretty nearly need a medical degree to defend yourself from our medical system these days. Lol Healing thoughts sent your way! 😊
My gran was recently diagnosed with kidney cancer and had to go to the hopital for a surgery consultation before the actual surgery and i just wanted to thank the local nephrologist, oncologist, surgen team and anesthesia for being awsome and giving her the best treatment possible.
They put so many fluids into me for tib fx repair I asked for a catheter. "We've never had someone ASK for a catheter before" turned into "I've never seen anyone fill so many bags in one day"
@@punchkitten874 LOL! I’d ask for one, too! The crappy part is you have to be able to pee within six hours after it’s out or they won’t let you leave 😫

My brother is a PharmD and he worked in a transplant ward, so his main job was fixing all the medication orders. Because a lot of people getting transplants are already on multiple meds to keep them alive and then they get the anti-rejection medication, and then if there is anything else that goes wrong like infection, illness, hypertension, etc. Doctors order stuff all the time that can’t go with what the patient is already on. He also fixed stuff for babies a lot because there are serious calculations involved for certain medications that depend on accurate weight by grams of the baby. He also fixed TPN orders. He got to be part of the care team for a face transplant (I think it was the 22 in the world, or something like that). He really enjoyed his time in that hospital.
Thats really impressive and so cool that he enjoyed what he did.. my favorite class was pharmacology but ended up not going into pharmacy as I thought that the insurance stuff would drive me crazy ... but yeah a hospital would've been more patient care.. and much more interesting.
I have chronic kidney problems (Thanks, Lupus!) and from now on I will be calling my kidneys my Little Bean Buddies every single time I have to talk about them. I am actually looking forward to my next appointment with my GP so I can use the term. Thanks, Ophthalmologist Bro! I love you now, forevermore.
I had appendicitis, basically couldn’t even take a full swallow of water without throwing up, and the dehydration was what finally scared me to going to the ER. I THOUGHT I had a stomach bug that would go away. Anyway, it ruptured and I had an open appendectomy, and for a couple days I, apparently, wasn’t getting enough fluids. Like I was very thirsty and the docs were concerned I wasn’t peeing, they catheter’d me twice and got like a few ccs of the most concentrated urine. My mom, a family practice physician, flipped out when I told her that (she went to sleep at a hotel and the catheter thing happened while she was gone), I could hear her yelling from the bed. The attending apologized to me for the “misunderstanding” and the hospitalist took over, like supposedly a resident had erred or something, I didn’t really follow it. All that to say, I wish nephro bro was real
House wine or house special at my hospital. Which is quite annoying when 3/4 of your nurses are new and are too scared to ask what that means. or remember to look up compatibility with all the components for ivp or piggyback meds.
Saline does the job we want it to do: it makes the exsiccated kid feel marginally better and it makes the parents stop bitching about "no proper treatment". For this particular purpose, ringer is far too expensive and unnecessary. For support infusion therapy, we make our own fluid with -blackjack and hookers- sugar and potassium.
Idea: after nephro shows him a couple dozen times, ortho actually learns and nephro is anxious bc it's been so long since he's fixed an ortho order. The resultant 😊🥰 would be beautiful
He wanted to be mad at Ortho so bad. But Ortho is just so innocent, lol.
Ortho is new, simply taking orders, but wasn’t told how to do it exactly. Can’t really get mad at someone like that.

Nothing more brilliant than an orthopedic surgeon making a medicine doc do his work for him...
Ortho is never innocent

@@zarifzaman6381 your blood likes to be at a specific salt level because of a lot of things like osmosis of water into the cells (I think idk I genuinely have zero medical qualifications for anything and I don’t plan on getting some 😎) your kidneys are filters for your blood and so the more hypertonic, or hypotonic the saline level in your blood is it’ll either suck up or add too much water to your blood. And the thing the nephrologist mentioned about the acidosis thing is I think because your blood also needs to be at a specific pH level, and the disassociation of excess chlorine ions makes your blood more acidic. That nephrologist dude has to be very particular about managing the salt levels in peoples bodies (again I could be totally wrong I have zero medical background on anything I’m literally a meteorologist) hope this helps. :))))))
Ortho: I didn’t mean to hurt your little bean buddies.
Nephrologist: *Did our heart just skip a beat*?
The depth your characters have is honestly amazing. The interpersonal dialogue and the emotional complexities are all captured and packaged into a bite-sized video. This is a piece of art. Thank you and please keep making content.
"You know I don't" made me laugh so hard
We’re learning about fluids in Vet Tech school and it’s so complicated. Though I am happy to report I understood most of what he said. Maybe I’ll understand more next semester!
It takes an iterative process to get these things. Like the face on ortho -- you can't just slam them with ALL the info all at once. You need some info to form the foundation so people can understand and appreciate the next part and so on. Some is foundational to understanding the rest.
For me, it was developmental processes (pregnancy, prenatal/neonatal)...
Here's the thing, you learn a lot of these things with experience. Then you read books and you understand why you're putting in certain orders. You might even be able to suggest better alternatives.
Inj. N.S. 500 mL IV
Inj. R.L. 500 mL IV
Inj. GNS 500 mL IV over 24 hours is a good starting base. 1500 mLs per day is maintenance for the average sized adult.
The actual way of calculating the maintaining fluids requirements is by Holliday Segar's formula, which is 4 mL/kg/hr for the first 10 kilograms, 2mL/kg/hr for the next 10 kilograms and 1mL/kg/hr for every subsequent 10 kilograms.
Add more if deficits are present.
Reduce if the pt. has cardiac or renal insufficiency.
Always mind the electrolytes and the anion gap!
Inj. NS 1000 mL IV stat (fast) is the trauma fluids bolus order before a blood transfusion. (Dosage of NS is 20-30 mL per kg over the first hour)
You typically need to infuse 3 times the volume of isotonic crystalloid than the blood loss.
You'll naturally get more and more adept at modifying such orders with time.
Hope it helps. Best wishes.
Just don't give LR to patients with hypercalcemia, and don't give NS to burn patients and you'll be ahead of the curve lol.
And if you give more than 1 or 2 units of any crystalloid in cases of massive bleeding where patients need blood products you're gonna have more serious problems than hypovolemic shock.
Bean buddies. XD We need a children's book of medicine...as written by ortho...and not just for bones!
The other specialties are at the perfect level for five-year-olds while the section on Ortho is incomprehensible to nonspecialists
Do it, do it, do it!
Doubtful Hematology would show up with a spleen. Glauc seemed to think spleens weren’t very useful.
Danger squiggles
I would totally buy a children's book by Dr. Glauc!
Now I want to see the nephrologist with armor made of morton salt containers
"I didn't mean to hurt your little bean buddies." Straight up lost it. ded.
Yes!! I love your videos! My son was born with Hydronephrosis, he's had 13 surgeries so far, he's 24 now. So we know our nephrology team very well!!!
I’m glad your boy is doing well.
❤️
@@eriknephrongfr8847 Thanks so much 💜

Have you referred to the kidneys as little bean buddies to them yet? 🤣
I no longer have kidneys. I have little bean buddies.
The med reg giving out punch cards is genius.
"Bean buddies" is also top notch 😂
I’m going through a hard time right now as an adult dealing with an aneurysmal bone cyst diagnosis. It is typically seen in Peds, and it basically has two groups of radically different treatments depending on whether the closest expert on the condition is an Orthopedic Surgeon or an Interventional Radiologist. It would be interesting to see a skit about this or a similar condition that has two very different treatments based on which specialist is in charge of it. I would love to see them argue haha
Sorry about that 😢wish you all the best May God grant you speedy healing and a full recovery inshaAllah 🤲🏻
I can sure identify!
I always get conflicting recommendations from my various specialists.
Or recommendations where the specialist doesn't take some aspect of my condition into consideration.
Most recently, I'm having bad headaches, but I'm taking the max dose of NSAIDs for my weight, which leaves Tylenol or opoids for pain. I really hate taking opoids, so I was taking 500mg every 6 hours. I told my rheumatologist and he says that's no problem, adults can take up to 3000mg per day. I just ignored it because he had obviously forgotten I only weigh 80lbs, and also take other meds (like statins) that affect the liver.
You pretty nearly need a medical degree to defend yourself from our medical system these days. Lol
Healing thoughts sent your way! 😊
My gran was recently diagnosed with kidney cancer and had to go to the hopital for a surgery consultation before the actual surgery and i just wanted to thank the local nephrologist, oncologist, surgen team and anesthesia for being awsome and giving her the best treatment possible.
Prayers for her health, friend.
@@williamsstephens thank you my friend thst means a lot ❤️ 💗
Ortho is a precious cinnamon roll that even nephrology wants to protect
Its made the kidneys sad!! Lol 🤣😂🤣😂 you are an amazing actor, and the edition is great!! All in the video is great!!! Congrats doc!!
The only thing missing was Ortho saying “Thanks Salt bro” at the end. Still love it
It took Ortho 6 tries to punch the hole in the middle of the "circle". Subtle perfection 😂
HAHAHAHAH the punch card medicine gave to ortho being used up sennnnttttt me 😂😂😂😂😂
"It makes the kidney sad" truly one of the best sentences in all of cinema
Him putting down the salt is so gentle, yet so highly threatening.
Ortho Bro just wanted his pt hydrated. Maybe it’s his way of getting the pt out of bed post op day 0 and going to the bathroom every hour
They put so many fluids into me for tib fx repair I asked for a catheter. "We've never had someone ASK for a catheter before" turned into "I've never seen anyone fill so many bags in one day"
@@punchkitten874 LOL! I’d ask for one, too! The crappy part is you have to be able to pee within six hours after it’s out or they won’t let you leave 😫
Morton Salt owes you a promo deal.
Aw, when Ortho apologises and Nephrology bro says 'Thank you', idk why, but that bit's sort of sweet 😅
Ortho was so sincere! He didn't want to hurt the bean buddies.
Dr. G is an an endless supply of creative hilarious medical skits. I want to be like you when I grow up 😂😂😂
"You know I don't, bro"
That KILLED me 😆
I love this version of an Ortho doc so much!!
He's so sweet and the last one I had to deal with was super scary.
‘Bean Buddies’ loll. That’d be so great on merch!
Dr. G, you are the BEST!. I have walked those shoes so many times....Med Student, Ortho Resident, Ortho Attending. Could help from laughing sooooooooo many times. New favorite for me. Thank you for your hard work...You are the video supplement to House of G d book. What a pick me up......thank you
It’s the admissions punchcard for me 💀
Little bean buddies-and the sincerity!!
Punches for medical admissions. Brilliant!
For the record... I use this. Of course I don't actually chart "sad kidneys" in the comments, but we all know it's there.
I can't think of how to better demonstrate my support and appreciation of your videos than to suffer through this 5 minute advertisement without clicking 'skip ad'.
I'm loving this interaction between bone bro and salt bro!
I love when he started harping about it, I felt all the things we learned in case study come rushing back!
My brother is a PharmD and he worked in a transplant ward, so his main job was fixing all the medication orders. Because a lot of people getting transplants are already on multiple meds to keep them alive and then they get the anti-rejection medication, and then if there is anything else that goes wrong like infection, illness, hypertension, etc. Doctors order stuff all the time that can’t go with what the patient is already on. He also fixed stuff for babies a lot because there are serious calculations involved for certain medications that depend on accurate weight by grams of the baby. He also fixed TPN orders. He got to be part of the care team for a face transplant (I think it was the 22 in the world, or something like that). He really enjoyed his time in that hospital.
Thats really impressive and so cool that he enjoyed what he did.. my favorite class was pharmacology but ended up not going into pharmacy as I thought that the insurance stuff would drive me crazy ... but yeah a hospital would've been more patient care.. and much more interesting.
I have chronic kidney problems (Thanks, Lupus!) and from now on I will be calling my kidneys my Little Bean Buddies every single time I have to talk about them. I am actually looking forward to my next appointment with my GP so I can use the term. Thanks,
Ophthalmologist Bro! I love you now, forevermore.
The nephrologist walking around with salt is beyond brilliant
“Your little bean buddies!“ 😂
I was HOPING it'd be Cardiology doing the clicking
Cardiology knows a lot about IV fluids in terms of volume, but all the drugs he orders turn out either nephrotoxic or ruin electrolyte balance.
Man your videos never fail bro...makes tough days being a physician less harsh...keep up the comedy bro
I had appendicitis, basically couldn’t even take a full swallow of water without throwing up, and the dehydration was what finally scared me to going to the ER. I THOUGHT I had a stomach bug that would go away. Anyway, it ruptured and I had an open appendectomy, and for a couple days I, apparently, wasn’t getting enough fluids. Like I was very thirsty and the docs were concerned I wasn’t peeing, they catheter’d me twice and got like a few ccs of the most concentrated urine. My mom, a family practice physician, flipped out when I told her that (she went to sleep at a hotel and the catheter thing happened while she was gone), I could hear her yelling from the bed. The attending apologized to me for the “misunderstanding” and the hospitalist took over, like supposedly a resident had erred or something, I didn’t really follow it.
All that to say, I wish nephro bro was real
This is inaccurate, as orders are being placed on a Mac. Otherwise, holds up.
Two words: Citrix. And using Citrix on my Mac I can unlock the computer with TouchID or my watch. Not so on pc workstations.
@@clarkosaurus yeah, but my laptops screen is too small to use epic properly.
@@clarkosaurus using Citrix is slow and annoying.
"You know I don't"
that line killed me. xD
Nurse here-your impressions are so spot on. Love to watch these!!
D5 1/2NS with 20K was referred to as "holy water" in my first pharmacist job. Almost everybody got it on admission.
I remember that but it was a LONG time ago! 🤣
Bet insurance companies nowadays say that's too expensive 🙄
You’d be amazed at what hydration will fix/cover up.
House wine or house special at my hospital. Which is quite annoying when 3/4 of your nurses are new and are too scared to ask what that means. or remember to look up compatibility with all the components for ivp or piggyback meds.
little did the Nephrologist know it was all part of Orthos master plan to get someone else to do the non bone stuff
You know you’re from a paper based system when you think incompetent clicking is someone clicking a pen
Ortho needs to be protected at all costs
I never knew I wanted this kind of relationship between ortho and the nephrologist till now.
Thank you!! Someone that understands the troubles of people that hate NS and the overuse of it in the prehospital and emergency settings.
What's better than NS ???
@@nmc1859 I personally prefer LR. It's all around a better fluid and easier on the body.
Saline does the job we want it to do: it makes the exsiccated kid feel marginally better and it makes the parents stop bitching about "no proper treatment".
For this particular purpose, ringer is far too expensive and unnecessary.
For support infusion therapy, we make our own fluid with -blackjack and hookers- sugar and potassium.
@@wk9953 the facilities i worked at (as nurse) had tons of ns in stock and barely any lr. Googled ..lr is 2x the price 😒
LR presumes normal liver function, a substantial presumption in my environment.
I love that ortho admits he doesn't know and needs help, a trillion times better than egomaniacs who hurt patients out of false pride. You go, bro!
"I didn't meant to hurt your little bean buddies," made me shriek. So cute and SO funny!
“It makes the kidneys sad!” Lol
You don’t really know something unless you can describe it to an expert and a child
Dr. Glaucomflecken, we love to see oncology in your videos! Please and thank you!
Idea: after nephro shows him a couple dozen times, ortho actually learns and nephro is anxious bc it's been so long since he's fixed an ortho order.
The resultant 😊🥰 would be beautiful
Dr. Flannery definitely could have been an actor in a different life
I love ortho's look of pure "those aren't bone words" innocence.
