LOLL as an Emergency Med Bro, this was so spot on! Keep up the great work. My radiologist on call always says that with the clinical history. And the Ortho Bro - I know way too many of my Ortho Bros who are always like...call me anytime for any fracture, ill pick up.

Thank you Dr. Glaucomflecken for not showing us Jonathan's Jonathan at this time. I am not ready for this new dimension and the laugh alone from the opthamologist sent chills. Seriously though..I too will be working the 4th..I get the psych patients coming in....
Thoughts and prayers for the new interns taking their first call on July 4th 😁 In ortho we used to divide the holidays between "drunk" holidays like the 4th with a lot of alcohol-related injuries, and "holidays of familial regret" like Thanksgiving when people go get grandma out of the SNF, bring them to an unfamiliar environment with loose rugs, and we spend the night fixing hip fractures. Awesome work eye-bro.
Where I work we have so-called "GMG"-patients around the major holidays (Christmas and Easter). GMG, in this case, stands for "Grandma/Grandpa must go" and it's usually patients from care facilities that reduce staffing over those holidays to save money and send their residents to the ER with questionable cause.
@@garrettkajmowicz You know what I'm talking about. Like, do you expect your 95 year old granny to have regular bowel movements when she's on like 5 different opioids (speaking in hyperbole)? And I'd be a bit loopy, too, if I only drank a glass of water over the last 3 days, like Grandpa Herb over there. And those patients are really frustrating.
We call the holiday of family regret...."weekend at Bernie families" . In their defense I took my mother with advanced dementia to Dairy Queen for her fav blizzard on Mothers Day. The workers at the home gave me a hard time. I shot back that they did not own her and I was a skilled nurse. Mixed texture dysphagia nightmare. She turned bad colors. I drove around town until she turned pink again. She did not care and would have done it again.
I’m surprised that they were able to get Jonathan tied up in the first place. I’m betting that it involved bait, a tranquilizer gun, and at least three ER doctors.

The concept of fractal Jonathans is great. That said, the quality control on most fireworks is not great. I’ve shot fireworks shows professionally. I’ve had pro tube launched fireworks fail on me dramatically. The pro US made stuff is good. The pro Chinese stuff is ok, with occasional dramatic failures. The amateur Chinese stuff that your average schmo might buy is a gamble. Fuse burn speed, for example. Still, most of the carnage is just drunks and children. Oh, so you’ll just hand out sparklers for the kids to wave around? Yes, a stick of burning magnesium at 4000F in a child’s hand is a brilliant idea. #1 source of 4th of July fireworks injury for kids. Be safe out there.
PLUS ONE TO THIS I know a child who wasn't old enough to know bright meant hot and grabbed a burning sparkler's burning bit. I also know people who were setting off firecrackers in cans and then didn't dispose of them properly or shield the small children from them and a child grabbed the hot can. It's bad. I love fireworks! Be safe out there everyone!
@Alhareth Altayib nah, fireworks are wicked cool and a fantastic way to celebrate things. Not a waste of money, totally worth it. Are pretty colors and smiles not worth more than what we get from driving to work? I would argue it's totally worth it :)
The DIY fireworks scare me even more. I grew up in rural Appalachia, I know too many people who liked to play with black powder. I am honestly astonished my hometown didn't just burn off the map, especially with all of the meth sheds...

It is a really big deal, especially in small towns. In my hometown in northern Michigan, they block off the street and have a big parade. And in the park, they have all sorts of different vendors selling their handmade goods/art. Then, once it gets dark, the city puts on a huge fireworks display. People get really into the fireworks and buy their own, which, inevitably causes a lot of people to blow their hands up. Alcohol+fireworks=💥 💀❤️🩹🫠

Oh, and I wanted to share a similar story. Small town fireworks display, launch platform at one end of the elementary school soccer field. My family was on the opposite side of the building, away from the crowd when we heard screaming and some fireworks *landed* on our side. One of the racks fell over and the fireworks went straight at the crowd. Found out later that my 12 yo brother's friend that lived around the corner from us would have taken one in the midsection if his dad hasn't rolled on top of him. He was hit in the back of the thigh and spent a few days in the hospital, but was walking around in a week or so. As far as I know his was the only major injury. I think there were a few others burned, but nothing serious.
When you showed Jonathan angrily tied up, I thought for a second we were going to get a firm singular "NO"-headshake like his nod 😂 I guess, even under the worst of circumstances, he stays true to his nature and would never sink to the level of voicing a "no"!

The “Don’t forget to provide enough patient history” …. Priceless lol. Your created cast is so perfect it also includes veterinary medicine doctors. The 4th in an emergency Vet hospital is so like this as well. Imagine trying to find… an Emergency Veterinary Ophthalmologist.
No this is extremely accurate. I worked as a medical scribe in an ER in Alabama, and a woman came in screaming, hollering (I think she couldn’t cry), because her 4 year old nephew set off a firework in the backyard and she was blinded with significant trauma to the eyes. We didn’t have an ophthalmologist on call so we had to transfer her. By the time we did, she said she could see some blurs, but the doc, NP, nurses, and techs, really didn’t have any hope for her getting her eyesight back
I work at the University that gets those patients lol. We had a similar story my first year, although this guy was drunk and stuck his head over a firework because it hadn't gone off yet.
As sorry as I feel for this woman, can you imagine the burden of her 4 year old nephew living the rest of his life knowing he blinded his aunt? Awful for everyone involved.
@@LadyV437 I work newspaper deliveries including new years eve, mailboxes are terrifying, we are honestly scared shitless whenever a firework intense holiday comes up, the culture of "no matter rain or snow" is very much the norm BUT when explosives get involved, we uh...we tend to delay everything by a couple hours!

Opthamology is one bad day away from becoming a supervillian with the world's most terrifyingly competent henchmen... And I think Emergency Medicine just gave him that bad day.
As a transplant surgeon, we will be ready to capitalize on all of the 4th of July shenanigans on July 5th-7th! Keep up the content. You’re killing it❤️
We'll still need it obviously, compatible organs are rare. You could grow one of your own I guess if we had the technology but it would take months and I'm not sure an deficient organ can be cloned. I would love to be wrong and I'm far from an expert but creating an organ farm and then modifying them to fit the recipient is farfetched
@@PWLfr more likely we will be able to grow them in genetically engineered pigs. This is already in clinical trials for kidneys, and the first pig to human heart transplant has been performed
Emergency medicine: Well, the good news is that trauma surgery and I were able to keep your eyes in their socket... the bad news is that since Opthamology doesn't work weekends you're probably going to be blind by the time he sees you for the consult. Good luck. Patient: Well, f**k.
My favorite weatherman from metro Detroit would always give a 4th of July warning to viewers about fireworks safety. Unfortunately, he ended up with a firework exploding in his own eye. Oopsy! But he has a glass eye now, looks great, and has even more credibility when newscasting about fireworks safety. Thanks docs!
Thanks for the heads up! I work at the transfer center and this will be my first 4th of July weekend working there. I will be ready to -ask the ED clerk to fax me the CT report so that when the Trauma Surgeon thinks that the report from the ED doc isn't good enough, I can read them the CT impressions word for word (I think sometimes they prefer that over the report from the ED doc) -have the ophthalmologist tell me, "no transfer, follow up in clinic." -hope that I don't have to call plastics and have them explain to me how they drew the line on the body to peacefully resolve which part goes to them and which part goes to ortho.
My dad tumbled the riding mower tractor and track-vac down a hill on top of himself and a tree stump on July 3 a couple of years ago. He, being in his 80s and during a pandemic, was taken to MD Shock Trauma, one of the premier emergency medical centers in the United States. My mom, a retired nurse who speaks medical jargon, was able to follow along behind and to accompany him through his day. He got there at 3 pm and didn't end up heading home until 3 am. The new residents were just starting that month and no one knew where anything was or what the procedures were. Though Dad got a good standard of care, he spend a lot of time just waiting on a gurney for different specialties to be available. The new residents were totally freaked out by his chest X-ray which showed evidence of broken ribs. In a consult, an experienced radiologist was able to show the residents that the cracked ribs were old scars from Dad's previous tumble off the roof a few years earlier. He had only needed "minor" brain surgery back then as a result of that incident. Dad was taken through his whole neuro and thoracic exam, which included a CT scan, only to have them finally look at his arm, which had a large cut, and after it unwrapped and was lavaged, they realized that it also needed to be imaged and he had to be sent back for ANOTHER CT scan. Thankfully, though he was banged, bruised and cut up, he wasn't badly injured. I'm sure that all the new residents will only make those mistakes once and that it was a good learning experience for everyone. My parents learned that it was a good year to finally make up their minds to sell the house and move into a retirement condo. They ended up selling at the top of the market for well above asking price. If they had waited another year to sell, they'd have run into higher interest rates and who knows if my dad would have survived the next inevitable house-related disaster.
Ah, I see Eye bro learned from his experience with the Therapist. Got that backup Jonathon so he'd never be separated from his loyal scribe ever again.
Aloha, I love your sketches and as a senior ophthalmologist I can relate! I was glad to see in your bio you play ultimate frisbee. They don't have a division for the great great masters division(which is going on in Ireland now) for me, but I still go and play with crew (mostly goaltie). I'm sure you can understand the heckle "get a library card and learn how to read [the disc]"
"Why is he tied ? " "It's the only way to get an ophthalmologist to work during weekends " Bruh it's the only way to get em to work / consult at any time not only weekends.
Dr. G's acting is so flawless I literally forgot for a moment when these characters are all played by the same person. Full round of applause, Dr. G, and best wishes to everyone working this weekend!! I'll try to keep my friends from landing in your emergency room
I love all these vids. I knew an old lady who was missing 4 fingers. One day I asked her how she lost her fingers. She said as a kid she was playing with firecrackers and one exploded in her hand. She was afraid of getting in trouble and managed to hide the injury from her parents for several days. By that point the fingers, or what was left of them, couldnt be salvaged. She was a very tough cookie.
Pro-tip: don't buy "home-made" fireworks sold by a sketchy guy out of the back of their pickup truck for cash and then hold them in your hand while you light them.
i'm not from the US, but when i get a hold of some fireworks that seem sketch, i hook up electric ignition with some copper wire, nicrom wire and a 9v battery
DYING! Love plastics punted to the university center. Stitch bro isn't going to have his martinis and boating time messed with. Trauma bro is beyond HAWT! Love the Argo. Having worked in the ED over the 4th, it is exploded, drunk, 800 level blood sugar, MCA/ATV fawk ups, and the dialysis patient with 32 lbs of water weight. GOOD TIMES!🤣
The back up Jonathan has agreed to be my Service Jonathan because fireworks give me extreme anxiety. I’m sorry Ophthalmology, peoples’ eyes will need you this weekend. Someone will inevitably get a firework shot at one or both.
@@elias1376 Jonathan is the ophtalmologist's loyal scribe. He never speaks, just nods and does a great job. You have to see a few other videos with him to really understand why he is the favourite character of most viewers though.
As a radiologist on call this weekend, most of my call is from home. The radiologist for GGH should probably be attending this meeting via zoom from the comfort of his home office.
In NZ there are three holidays that involve fireworks, but only one that traditionally features a LOT of drinking, and that’s NYE. We make up for it with heavy drinking every time the All Blacks play. We also have the occasional volcanic eruption that ties up every plastic surgeon in NZ and Australia for months (RIP to all the victims of Whakaari/White Island).
Oh yes it’s the one time of year people decide it’s ok to give sparklers aka a more dangerous oversized candle to small children to play with while their parents drink and talk. It’s also the one time of year people will mix drinking, explosives, bbq, bonfires, and boating or swimming. It can only go sideways. I once set a yard on fire because the host at a party handed toddler aged me a sparkler and I got tired of holding it, and I’ve also seen drunk idiots attempt to set off fireworks from their boat on a lake.

I'm not blaming her specifically but it needs to be asked....who lets a 4 year old get access to fire and explosives at the same time?!
As sorry as I feel for this woman, can you imagine the burden of her 4 year old nephew living the rest of his life knowing he blinded his aunt? Awful for everyone involved.
@@LadyV437 I work newspaper deliveries including new years eve, mailboxes are terrifying, we are honestly scared shitless whenever a firework intense holiday comes up, the culture of "no matter rain or snow" is very much the norm BUT when explosives get involved, we uh...we tend to delay everything by a couple hours!
I hope I never end up a paitent but honestly we are extremely exposed, any idea if newspaper couriers are among the more commonly affected?
I mean a dud in a mailbox n a good poke from a paper n two letters and the proximity of a courier on a moped....
@@petelancaster6715 Fgs, he was 4, it was not his fault. What responsible adult let's a 4 year old near fireworks? He should have no guilt at all!
I can’t stop laughing! I thought trauma surgery was a mood, but ophthalmology & his secret cadre of Jonathans shattered my funny bone!
Ortho is on it!
Opthamology is one bad day away from becoming a supervillian with the world's most terrifyingly competent henchmen... And I think Emergency Medicine just gave him that bad day.
Everything changed after the multiverse portal was opened. Never thought I would hear about the existence of a second Jonathan
We already saw a different Jonathan in the ophthalmology interview video.
There's nothing more terrifying than a backup Jonathan!
Things about to get crazy in the emergency department
About to?
This smooth transition from opthalmology to Jonathan
I'm just happy seeing Ortho ready to be completely in his element. Femurs all weekend long, bro!
Forgot the humerus from falling off the lawn mowers and ATVs
As a transplant surgeon, we will be ready to capitalize on all of the 4th of July shenanigans on July 5th-7th! Keep up the content. You’re killing it❤️
um... good... thing ?
@@PWLfr only for the recipient
When people are genetically engineered and we can (hopefully) grow new organs what do you predict will happen to organ donation?
We'll still need it obviously, compatible organs are rare. You could grow one of your own I guess if we had the technology but it would take months and I'm not sure an deficient organ can be cloned.
I would love to be wrong and I'm far from an expert but creating an organ farm and then modifying them to fit the recipient is farfetched
@@PWLfr more likely we will be able to grow them in genetically engineered pigs. This is already in clinical trials for kidneys, and the first pig to human heart transplant has been performed
Funny how Ophthalmology and Jonathon are the evil villains in the medical field. Does he have pet cat?
You mean the Johnacat?
Given Jonathan's silence and propensity for glaring I'm not entirely convinced he's not a cat in human disguise
@@wraithship 😅 😼
Jonathan's Jonathan has a pet Jonathan
@@wraithship 🤣☠️
These never fail to make things so much brighter when the impending stress of a holiday involving explosives is upon us...thank you, Dr. 🤣
The devil shivers when Jonathan gets angry
The DGCU (Dr. Glaucomflecken cinematic universe) continues to grow
Oh, fourth of july, the weekend of alcohol and explosives
Just what we've been begging for: MORE LORE!!!
Emergency medicine: Well, the good news is that trauma surgery and I were able to keep your eyes in their socket... the bad news is that since Opthamology doesn't work weekends you're probably going to be blind by the time he sees you for the consult. Good luck.
Patient: Well, f**k.
My favorite weatherman from metro Detroit would always give a 4th of July warning to viewers about fireworks safety. Unfortunately, he ended up with a firework exploding in his own eye. Oopsy! But he has a glass eye now, looks great, and has even more credibility when newscasting about fireworks safety. Thanks docs!
Omg this is fantastic, you need to continue with your general hospital skits, these belong together
Thanks for the heads up! I work at the transfer center and this will be my first 4th of July weekend working there. I will be ready to
-ask the ED clerk to fax me the CT report so that when the Trauma Surgeon thinks that the report from the ED doc isn't good enough, I can read them the CT impressions word for word (I think sometimes they prefer that over the report from the ED doc)
-have the ophthalmologist tell me, "no transfer, follow up in clinic."
-hope that I don't have to call plastics and have them explain to me how they drew the line on the body to peacefully resolve which part goes to them and which part goes to ortho.
YES!!! Brilliant as always, LOVE YOUR CONTENT!! It keeps this coder/biller from going nutty…👏👏👏😄
The plot twist we didn’t even know we needed!!!!! 😱😱😱😱😱
Ok I'm legit scared rn. Back up Jonathan!😱 I didn't know the Opthamologist was so diabolical.
My dad tumbled the riding mower tractor and track-vac down a hill on top of himself and a tree stump on July 3 a couple of years ago. He, being in his 80s and during a pandemic, was taken to MD Shock Trauma, one of the premier emergency medical centers in the United States. My mom, a retired nurse who speaks medical jargon, was able to follow along behind and to accompany him through his day. He got there at 3 pm and didn't end up heading home until 3 am. The new residents were just starting that month and no one knew where anything was or what the procedures were. Though Dad got a good standard of care, he spend a lot of time just waiting on a gurney for different specialties to be available. The new residents were totally freaked out by his chest X-ray which showed evidence of broken ribs. In a consult, an experienced radiologist was able to show the residents that the cracked ribs were old scars from Dad's previous tumble off the roof a few years earlier. He had only needed "minor" brain surgery back then as a result of that incident. Dad was taken through his whole neuro and thoracic exam, which included a CT scan, only to have them finally look at his arm, which had a large cut, and after it unwrapped and was lavaged, they realized that it also needed to be imaged and he had to be sent back for ANOTHER CT scan. Thankfully, though he was banged, bruised and cut up, he wasn't badly injured. I'm sure that all the new residents will only make those mistakes once and that it was a good learning experience for everyone. My parents learned that it was a good year to finally make up their minds to sell the house and move into a retirement condo. They ended up selling at the top of the market for well above asking price. If they had waited another year to sell, they'd have run into higher interest rates and who knows if my dad would have survived the next inevitable house-related disaster.
Ah, I see Eye bro learned from his experience with the Therapist. Got that backup Jonathon so he'd never be separated from his loyal scribe ever again.
You just never fail with these. Always amazing!
"What up, Call bros!" I don't know why but that cracked me the fuck up.
Ortho bros/PT bros bracing themselves for the weekend of America's Got Talent: Jackass Edition
@@britandveg 😆😆😆
Aloha, I love your sketches and as a senior ophthalmologist I can relate! I was glad to see in your bio you play ultimate frisbee. They don't have a division for the great great masters division(which is going on in Ireland now) for me, but I still go and play with crew (mostly goaltie). I'm sure you can understand the heckle "get a library card and learn how to read [the disc]"
"Why is he tied ? "
"It's the only way to get an ophthalmologist to work during weekends "
Bruh it's the only way to get em to work / consult at any time not only weekends.
Dr. G's acting is so flawless I literally forgot for a moment when these characters are all played by the same person. Full round of applause, Dr. G, and best wishes to everyone working this weekend!! I'll try to keep my friends from landing in your emergency room
That was the biggest reveal since learning Vader was you-know-who's FATHER!
OMG, that laugh was just pure evil.
Thanks Doc, didn't know you had it in you to pull that off.
Ophthalmologist being the devil king could explain why he have so many talented Minions
Backup Jonathan! The plot thickens
Tying up Johnathan, damn that's brutal. Johnathan having a Johnathan amakes my head hurt. And that evil chuckle!!
Only the smart ones have backup plans for every situation because they know Murphy's law exists
My brother was an EM Jonathan all through undergrad and now is an EM doctor doing his residency. He has certainly seen some interesting things.
I love all these vids. I knew an old lady who was missing 4 fingers. One day I asked her how she lost her fingers. She said as a kid she was playing with firecrackers and one exploded in her hand. She was afraid of getting in trouble and managed to hide the injury from her parents for several days. By that point the fingers, or what was left of them, couldnt be salvaged. She was a very tough cookie.
Phenomenal character development for the ophthalmologist... Never have seen this dark of side from him
Pro-tip: don't buy "home-made" fireworks sold by a sketchy guy out of the back of their pickup truck for cash and then hold them in your hand while you light them.
i'm not from the US, but when i get a hold of some fireworks that seem sketch, i hook up electric ignition with some copper wire, nicrom wire and a 9v battery
DON'T TELL ME WHAT TO DO!!!
This sounds like it comes from an experience 😂
That sounds oddly specific...
I can’t even tell you how much entertainment I’ve gotten from all these videos. Thank you!
You finally did it! Go trauma!!!! You da man, Doc!!!
The green berets of the medical field.
LOL! My niece just called me Jonathan and told me to get her bath water ready and cook breakfast while she bathe.
So funny, you're brilliant. Love all of the different doctors and the way they act and talk. Thanks for making me laugh so much
DYING! Love plastics punted to the university center. Stitch bro isn't going to have his martinis and boating time messed with.
Trauma bro is beyond HAWT! Love the Argo.
Having worked in the ED over the 4th, it is exploded, drunk, 800 level blood sugar, MCA/ATV fawk ups, and the dialysis patient with 32 lbs of water weight. GOOD TIMES!🤣
You forgot the CHFers with FVO and pulmonary edema after the BBQs.
Finally, the glorious return of Trauma Surgery!
Goodluck you guys may the fingers be found , the fractures easily set. and may them all have in network health insurance.
The back up Jonathan has agreed to be my Service Jonathan because fireworks give me extreme anxiety. I’m sorry Ophthalmology, peoples’ eyes will need you this weekend. Someone will inevitably get a firework shot at one or both.
i’m new so pls tell me about johnathan 😅
@@elias1376 Jonathan is the ophtalmologist's loyal scribe. He never speaks, just nods and does a great job. You have to see a few other videos with him to really understand why he is the favourite character of most viewers though.
@@Alinor24 aye sounds good. toss me a few faves!
I want to see the second Jonathan!!
Jonathans all the way down like a Russian nesting doll
As a radiologist on call this weekend, most of my call is from home. The radiologist for GGH should probably be attending this meeting via zoom from the comfort of his home office.
I’m not in the medical field, but these videos still crack me up!!
Opthalmologist is a secret villain and I'm totally here for it and fully support him
Hilariously accurate it seems.
In NZ there are three holidays that involve fireworks, but only one that traditionally features a LOT of drinking, and that’s NYE. We make up for it with heavy drinking every time the All Blacks play. We also have the occasional volcanic eruption that ties up every plastic surgeon in NZ and Australia for months (RIP to all the victims of Whakaari/White Island).
Ahhh, July 4th weekend beckons and I am so glad I no longer work bedside.
I laughed so hard at “it exploded, there.” Love the ER doc’s directness and desire that others get to the point. My kind of person. 😂
4th of July is my birthday. Jonathan is my favourite character and I get this amazing plotwist?! AWESOME!
These make my day, bless you!
😂😂 ❤ Omg ! ER Doc here this is incredible and very accurate I just say. Such great content as always. Please Stay Safe !!!!!
"It exploded. There. There's your clinical history." Brilliant!
My favorite running skit just became my favorite running anime in that last evil laugh. 10/10, Love your videos!
Had no idea people explode this much on 4th of July
Oh yes it’s the one time of year people decide it’s ok to give sparklers aka a more dangerous oversized candle to small children to play with while their parents drink and talk. It’s also the one time of year people will mix drinking, explosives, bbq, bonfires, and boating or swimming. It can only go sideways. I once set a yard on fire because the host at a party handed toddler aged me a sparkler and I got tired of holding it, and I’ve also seen drunk idiots attempt to set off fireworks from their boat on a lake.
@@riverstein7251Damn that's scary 😳 and peoples hands exploded or caught fire?
This is gold.
Please make a sequel
Thank you for your humor, this is my favorite channel!
I'd forward this to my ophthalmologist but he came in on a weekend to treat my pinkeye. Dude's awesome.
🤣😂🤣thanks doc!! You make my day!!
As an anesthesiologist working 4th of July weekend, I’m a little disappointed we weren’t included in the doctor huddle!
To be fair, anesthesia is an afterthought, even to the trauma surgeon
Johnathan tied up is epic 😂😂😂😂😂
🤣🤣🤣 This was too good!! Lives trauma surgeon depiction and Jonathan ^2 oh my!
"It exploded" 🤣
THE MULTIVERSE!
THE JONATHAVERSE!
I would have thought 4th of July was the one time the Ophthalmologist was excited to work-protect those eyes ; no sparklers
The amount of things you have found to just add bro after warms my heart
