Eyes and ears should always be worth a check. 🙏 I heard a smart attending tell a group of residents that nobody wants to have you do more work. They want your attention for a good reason so trust they will bother you only as much as needed. That same night i called one of those residents dating i had a gut feeling but wasnt sure what was up and asked to come up. They ended up coding on the way up. That shade of skin in low light.. Id always che k on someone ..we are all human. 🙏 i always made a list of concerns to look at before it got late and ppl on my watch list. It made the world go round and fostered trust.
This video taught me 3 things: 1) Dr. G has multiple bike helmets and sunshades that would make any ED doc jealous. 2) He’s spent way too much time in an ED for this to be this accurate. 3) I’m convinced his undergrad degree is in theatre with a minor in psychology.
In residency we called for a derm consult on a hospitalized patient. The dermatologist showed up hours later with the most adorable combined expression of fury and confusion.
You just have to say "took some medication... *mumble mumble* toxic epidermal necrolysis?" And all the dermatologists in the country will be rushing to offer consult for the once in a lifetime sensation of action they will have in their careers... only to crash their Bentleys outside the ER and get admitted themselves
Question: I went to er with cellulitis so bad I couldn't walk. Was admitted , diagnosed and send on my way with a script in 32 minutes. Record right! Anyways : did the doctor or derm diagnos me bc I only saw a doctor (for 40 seconds).
@@yellowdressbookstore6602 probably a doctor. I assume you had blood tests taken in advance of the doctor seeing you, and cellulitis is often straight forward, unless one is paranoid enough to suspect the dangerous kinds

Yeah I had a co worker that did 94 hours in a week doing 3 jobs literally going from 1 job position to the next different job at the hospital because we were so short staffed. She did this for almost a month

@@EvanAristyaYudha Not *every* doctor is an emergency room doctor, running their ass off for 72-96 hour shifts.

Love the sign out of the session at the end. As an ER resident, whenever my wife hands off care of the baby to me when I get home and she is going somewhere I'm like "hold up, we need to do a proper sign out! Last meals, last diapers, last naps, overall demeanor for the day (fussy, happy, etc.). Smooth transition of care is vital!"
Maybe a quiet shout out to housekeeping? They are hugely important for infection control and keeping things running smoothly, and yet they are usually very humble, hardworking, and cheerful!
and friendly. Housekeeping actually had caring and supportive conversations with my family member when they were hospitalized. Not so much focused on the physical but supportive in a more "how are you feeling today" "oh, good I'm happy you get to go home today".
Yes. He is *really* talented as an actor to be able to use the same face and really inhabit a completely different character each time. Sometimes people recognize the "possession" just by the eyes (Jonathan).
@@REDMKnight I get it. After call last night - I didn't run out the door fast enough. I even use the back hallway where I'm less likely to be seen, but someone found me and needed a hand. So today I tacked on an extra 90 min to the 24 hr call shift.
As a doctor this one made me extremely sad because it's so accurate. 😕 On a happier note, everybody knows you in my hospital and sometimes we watch your videos on our lunch break all together. Take care.
I want y'all to get a break from this rough time soon, but it's seeming so bleak out there... I hope y'all get compensated well for your efforts when this all done... Somehow.
love this one because it really exposes the limits of therapy, mandated or otherwise. Emergency Medicine is burned out and knows it. Having a therapist tell you that's not ideal or that you need to not be that doesn't change the system Emergency Medicine is stuck in and forced to work in.
The health service trusts burnout in doctors by acting supportive whilst guilting you into pretending you're all better, because you don't want to make it worse for everyone else.
@@mjudec Ours didn't even act supportive. They just kept scheduling "wellness" lectures around lunch time to tell us we needed to exercise more, do yoga, and not stress out... lol. Thanks for reminding me of all the things I COULD be doing, if I wasn't overworked or attending unnecessary lectures.
yup, I only know one solution to EM burn out and that is to switch careers (my dad was an ER doc who switched to radiology after 15ish years in EM), but that's not a solution because emergency medicine is still needed and some people want to continue EM more than any other specialty.
Having spent years working in an ED, this was very accurate. For some reason people that work in EDs know that they're going to get burned out, yet do it anyway. The first step is admitting the problem, but most of us stop there.
@@wernerbeinhart2320 Honestly? A class action suit about the companies doing the understaffing for endangering patients, manslaughter by neglicence or similar is probably the only way to go. One of the manifold problems here: burn-out and depression sap your energy (as if the job wouldn't be sufficent for that), so those closest and most aware of the problem are probably to sucked dry by the vampires in charge to start a battle against that particular monster.
As an ED myself, "... we were already burned out. The pandemic just punted us into an active volcano..." It's true. I cried. Tears. Real tears. Not sure if they were of laughter or despair. And we ALL KNOW the dermatology fairy is a myth of EPIC proportions. Dermatologists don't really exist except in their own little magical glade called "Skin Spa".
I saw a dermatologist on my 5th day of hospitalization after my full body rash had receded and gone undercover. It was my strong belief in fairies which brought her in, I am sure! 😊
Where I live (and work as an Emergency physician), whenever a patient has even a slightly tinily acute condition like, even a sneeze for example, the Family Med. and GP docs just tell them "GO GO GO TO THE ED STAT" instead of, I don't know, checking their throats or auscultating their lungs. Actually all specialists dump their patients on us. You don't know how many times I had to start and/or adjust therapy regimens for people with chronic diseases. Or how many times I had to treat people as "inpatient" for weeks in my ED because the hospitalist refused to admit them. And why do I do it? To help those in need of course, because I AM THEIR LAST RESORT. Then again, you don't know how many times I got physically attacked and beaten by a mob after a patient died inevitably due to a catastrophic car accident or cardiac arrest or something. I am the cardiologist. I am the nephrologist. I am the pediatrist. I am the surgeon. I am the otolaryngologist. I am the gynecologist. I am the neurologist. I am the internist. I am the endocrinologist. I am the urologist. I am everything. And I get paid less than everyone. Fuck the administration of this hospital and this country, fuck all other doctors in this town, and fuck everyone who does not appreciate me.
Thanks guys, sorry for my ranting. This video just brought up a lot of stuff I had suppressed. Honestly I have zero job and life satisfaction, but every person and their health that I've helped change for the better keeps me from "ending it all" if you know what I mean. That, and the fact that these people literally need me. Dr. G is a perfect analyst and he really understands what people go through; and using these, he makes us laugh. Yeah even I laughed. I laughed my ass off. However, while we laugh at the way we work and the state we are in for 2 minutes everyday thanks to Dr. G, we also cry about the same things deep down inside the rest of the day. But nothing ever changes. Have a happy and healthy life, people.
I work in a remote hospital in Australia and our wardsman/orderly are also our plaster technicians and tbh, they put on a better plaster than me. And on at least a few occasions have stopped me from inadvertently pulling out a line from a critically unwell patient during the precarious slide transfer from trolley bed to radiology table. Heroes, bloody heroes.
Heh, you plaster an arm, they've probably done a few houses. In terms of square footage experience matters ;-) (I kid I kid, thanks for what you do ;-) )
@@RylHango When your shift is over, yeah! I mean if they're about to be discharged or admitted to the floor you finish it yourself but otherwise it could be 30 min left or an hour or three hours... You cannot be expected to always stay until the end
@@RylHango Yes.

“Punted us directly into an active volcano” is probably the most apt description of working in an emergency department right now I’ve heard in the past two years
I can confirm to some degree. I got away from acute medicine and then bedside all together though. My husband on the other hand is still working in the hospital in infectious diseases. He was lucky enough to start his career just after the first wave of the pandemic though. He’s definitely feeling pandemic burnout
Your ER character is so right on for the typical personality of most ER doctors! They would have to be burned out with all that they have to put up with being so short staffed! I thought it was just a problem at our small rural hospital but I guess it's this way everywhere! I think there should always be a PA to work along side the docs in the ER. It would take some of the burden off his shoulders and make for a smoother turnover transition for everyone! I was a Nursing Supervisor on the night shift and when ER was swamped then I would have to go and help with triage and procedures like IVs and discharges. Thanks for the humor to help defuse the stress we are all feeling out here!
Not an MD, but I work in emergency medicine, and all the stressors mentioned, as well as being burnt out before COVID, are 100% true for everyone in this field. Thanks for the laugh, we all need some giggles as we get punted into that volcano 🤣
Emergency Doctor went from "Looke ye upon myne Field of Fuks ande witness that it is Barren," to "Looke ye upon myne Field of Fuks ande witness that it is on Fyre."
I'm an ED doctor and I'm crying 🤣🤣🤣 Please make more ED videos, these are so true and funny. My shift is over 🤣 I'm not wearing a helmet in the car... but I would absolutely go for a 5-point-seatbelt if I could 😆
Right?? Okay, hold onto a grab bar... I used to ride my motorcycle in to work when I was in the ER. And yes, I had an agreement with the ambulance teams that they could wave & laugh as they drove by my pizza'd gizzards if/when I got hit. I never could adapt to driving my car without a helmet, and I kept reaching for a seat belt on the bike. 5-point restraints really are ideal.
Sir, I did Med school 1996 to 2001. Internship then Comserve then private practice with years and years in ERs and then the horror that was COVID which my team and I had to manage in our little rural hospital in the center of South Africa with zero external support. I wish I had your videos as a medical student for reference because amazingly enough it is 100% applicable to our experience here but still, watching it now is truly therapeutic and the brilliant humor fantastic. Thank you very much!
I'm a new nurse in the telemetry unit. Two shifts ago there were several patients waiting to come to my floor. The charge nurse took every patient because we were so short handed. She had 8 patients and my preceptor helped her with some of the medications so she could also continue to be the charge. I believe what Dr.G said about being under staffed. The nurses are trying their best. I would say the same for all of the people working in the hospital. We are short PCA's because of illness and our nurses are coming down with Covid and other medical issues due to the stress of the load. Thank you Dr. G for helping all of us enjoy the special way you teach us a little bit about what goes on with doctors and their daily learning process. We will all continue that learning process each shift.
of course he's the mentally healthiest. he's in the one specialty that figured out humans having a circadian rhythm isn't theoretical medical knowledge applicable to patients but not doctors.
Seeing the despair on my cousin's face when he (an ER attending in Norman, OK) was asked very seriously if "this covid thing is really that big a deal" at my other cousin's funeral in the rural town we grew up in made me wanna sign him up for therapy right then and there. Unfortunately he said he was too busy to attend.
The best part is the sign out at the end. Towards the beginning he says “ I am fine “ and he means it. Signing out at the end and “ turning off the drama of em “ is what saves us. We definitely have to turn off parts of ourselves to survive and turn them back on when we leave. That is the key to survive
LOL, that is just awesome! I laughed my azz off! The hand off to the next shift. And the elaboration about how administration treats their staff is spot on. Remember it's all about budget.
E "Where were we?" P "Um, at the burnout" E "Oh yeah ofcourse, yeah that's been going on for a while" P "You mean with that guy?" _Camera zooms in on second Emergency doctor_

The transfer!!!!!! As my husband would say "that Dr. Glockenspiel outdid himself". (Yes, that is what he calls you. I'm working on it.)
I’m an ICU nurse and this is so accurate for us nurses too!
Tony from maintenance is the real MVP.
Hey ER DOCS. You are loved and known and appreciated. Thanks for shining a light on them Doctor Will
Emergency Doctor went from "Looke ye upon myne Field of Fuks ande witness that it is Barren," to "Looke ye upon myne Field of Fuks ande witness that it is on Fyre."
Doc, I am applying this fall in USA as a premed. Wish me a luck. So that I can be a doctor like you too
Good luck!
@@grantmegan91 thanks
Brave move. Good luck from NZ
Awww good luck baby and welcome to the nuthouse
@@fatemehhajizadehsaffar6882 ok, I think I am ready.🙆
As a Physical Therapist, I totally cracked up at “ i’ve got your McBurney’s point…right here.” I’m totally stealing that. 😂
I literally fell off my bed when I heard Dermatology Fairie. 😂🤣 Dude, this can’t get any better. Perfect. 👏🏻🙏🏻
I don't know how to thank all the people who worked through the pandemic, and kept everything going, but I am grateful for you.
...yep. 15 years in emergency medicine. This be how we do.
The sign-out at the end takes the cake, pure comedic genius!
Genius. Knowing some emergency staff firsthand, this is pretty accurate. Except Johny from maintenance, it's actually Edna.
If you're still doing this I would love to see "Labor & Delivery goes to Therapy" 😂
You know it's bad when the psychiatrist looks horrified. 🤣
One of the many things I admire about EM docs - handing over and leaving when it’s time to sign out!
i love how you present Emergency Doctors as if they are a hive mind.
😂
He's not wrong...
As an emergency physician for almost 3 decades I feel this deep in my bones
I'm an ED doctor and I'm crying 🤣🤣🤣 Please make more ED videos, these are so true and funny. My shift is over 🤣 I'm not wearing a helmet in the car... but I would absolutely go for a 5-point-seatbelt if I could 😆
Right??
Okay, hold onto a grab bar... I used to ride my motorcycle in to work when I was in the ER. And yes, I had an agreement with the ambulance teams that they could wave & laugh as they drove by my pizza'd gizzards if/when I got hit.
I never could adapt to driving my car without a helmet, and I kept reaching for a seat belt on the bike.
5-point restraints really are ideal.
Ah, when he signed out his own therapy session.
Sir, I did Med school 1996 to 2001. Internship then Comserve then private practice with years and years in ERs and then the horror that was COVID which my team and I had to manage in our little rural hospital in the center of South Africa with zero external support. I wish I had your videos as a medical student for reference because amazingly enough it is 100% applicable to our experience here but still, watching it now is truly therapeutic and the brilliant humor fantastic. Thank you very much!
This is genius hahaha but also the therapist should praise Emergency for having such clear boundaries about his free time xD
Poor therapist he deserves a dr Charles session with all the work awakening he has done in the past couple of weeks 😅
Chicago med is the best
I wish this sessions was much, much longer. I love this one... well, I love all of them, but this is my favourite. Thank you for all your videos.
As a Emergency Doc I applaud you. Perfect, every bit of it.
I'm a new nurse in the telemetry unit. Two shifts ago there were several patients waiting to come to my floor. The charge nurse took every patient because we were so short handed. She had 8 patients and my preceptor helped her with some of the medications so she could also continue to be the charge. I believe what Dr.G said about being under staffed. The nurses are trying their best. I would say the same for all of the people working in the hospital. We are short PCA's because of illness and our nurses are coming down with Covid and other medical issues due to the stress of the load. Thank you Dr. G for helping all of us enjoy the special way you teach us a little bit about what goes on with doctors and their daily learning process. We will all continue that learning process each shift.
Emergency is such a badass! Hang in the bike-bro!
Wait a moment. The Dermatology Fairy is not Real? But ... But .... i mean .... what?
The shift change lmao
Need a psych goes to therapy video!
Please keep em long like this one, This was entertaining and on point 100%.
Love the delegation skills. It was a smooth transition 😄
surprisingly, Emergency medicine seems to be the mentally healthiest of all Psychiatry’s patients so far with that self awareness🤣
of course he's the mentally healthiest. he's in the one specialty that figured out humans having a circadian rhythm isn't theoretical medical knowledge applicable to patients but not doctors.
As always, a true genius !
Superb scripts.
Brilliant acting.
Great jokes.
You are a natural actor and especially your eye acting is awesome 😺 👍
Thank you to all Emergency Doctors for your precious service to society. Many are still alive because of you.
So true!! Crazy sick Emerg patients and a quick handover to the next doc before leaving.
Seeing the despair on my cousin's face when he (an ER attending in Norman, OK) was asked very seriously if "this covid thing is really that big a deal" at my other cousin's funeral in the rural town we grew up in made me wanna sign him up for therapy right then and there. Unfortunately he said he was too busy to attend.
LOL! I laughed soooo hard. Thanks for acknowledging that burn out for the ED happened before Covid and I loved how he did a sign out on himself
ER resident here in one of the most underserved public hospitals in NYC, absolutely loved this one. Made me cry 😂. You the man Dr. G
Spent the last 22 years as an ED “Provider”, every word is true, even “Tony from maintenance”! I can’t stop LMAO!!😂🤣
As an active emergency attending, this is one of your best videos ever. Thanks!
My two of my four favorite characters.
There were no lies detected from that ED doc.
This sign out is the best thing I've seen today! I'm literally just watching all your old vids today
Very accurate to the emergency dep people I know unfortunately. Great as always!
The best part is the sign out at the end. Towards the beginning he says “ I am fine “ and he means it. Signing out at the end and “ turning off the drama of em “ is what saves us. We definitely have to turn off parts of ourselves to survive and turn them back on when we leave. That is the key to survive
LOL, that is just awesome! I laughed my azz off! The hand off to the next shift. And the elaboration about how administration treats their staff is spot on. Remember it's all about budget.
I want to see Therapist goes to therapy
Same.
"we were already burnt out, the pandemic just punted us into an active vulcano"
One of the local ER's I bring patients to currently has a wait time of about 30 hours.
That volcano is doing a great job of keeping us warm.
Man, I cannot get enough of your content.
I cannot stop laughing, because these are so accurate, hits home so often for a nurse working with docs for 40 years in ICU/ ER
This is the best one yet.
I have no connection to the medical profession but your skits have me laughing every time 🤣 cheers
😂😂😂 The sign out at the end of the shift. Classic. They wait for no man. Leave when they have to 😂😂
That cured my evening-before-pathophysiology-test depression.
E "Where were we?"
P "Um, at the burnout"
E "Oh yeah ofcourse, yeah that's been going on for a while"
P "You mean with that guy?"
_Camera zooms in on second Emergency doctor_
I GOT YOUR MCBURNEY'S POINT RIGHT HERE!
Oh if only physical exam were that simple haha
That was my favorite part 🤣
I've had some devastating news and out of all the yt videos, Dr G is the only one who has made me laugh, always coming through
So good. Really, laughing so loud right now. Greetings from Colombia. Here ortho, internal medicine and surgery are exactly the same as you portrait them. I think worl wide theses characters are pretty accurate .
I'm rather depressed, and that bit about the maintenance man made me laugh out loud. Thanks!
