Arg, that is exactly how I feel every time I go to a doctor and have to tell the same story to every nurse, PA, and doctor who walks in the room. Just. Read. The. Notes.
my dad is a gastroenterologist and one time i was working for him in the hospital and he frequently got calls in his office asking him to "scope a patient" when it wasn't appointed beforehand and no kidding he always said : " yeah i'll do it in the morning." this is spot on.
Why? That's something I have wondered. Then I found out the gastroenterologist worked at three different hospitals plus private clinics, so that's why he scheduled the way he did. Your dad, too?
The don't let go of the wire joke for vascular surgery was so accurate it hurts. These are incredibly accurate. As an OR RN, the gravitational pull from the surgeons is strong.
@@blablup1214 During vascular sx, surgeons use a wire to gain access to where they want to place a stent or whatnot sort of like in urology with their stents. If the scrub loses/pulls out the wire by accident, surgeon loses access and you get so much shade from the whole room you’ll probably have to leave lol. You don’t lose or move the wire!
I would describe my body type as a biconcave disk is oddly the most relatable thing I've heard all day. Also my favorite cells are macrophages and platelets
My favourite one by far is the physical therapy skit. As a current 3rd year OT student, one thing is for sure, we always consult with physiotherapy and share consults. Plus its rare that anybody posts an OT skit too 😄, so I appreciate it a little more.
I used to work as a research assistant with rheumatologists and they always told the students: NEVER order an ANA unless you know what you're going to do with the results. I love these!
Is part of the joke that ANA will often show a positive result (even when a patient does not have an autoimmune disorder) so you end up with more questions than answers?
@@zaku2939 Exactly. Beyond useless test for 99% of the reasons people think they have for ordering it. The worst is ordering it for "routine" outpatient settings. Lmao. Poor rheumatologists. Thankfully I only intubate people and jab them with pointy things
@@NoNameAtAll2 Because if it is negative it pretty much rules out a lot of autoimmune disorders. E.g. 98% of people with SLE (lupus) have abnormal ANA, so a negative ANA means lupus is very unlikely, but a positive ANA doesn't nessasarily mean it is SLE.
I'm a Canadian psychiatrist, but I had a love affair with Anesthesia before I met Psychiatry.

It's so true that you can read, or do whatever. The saying goes, it's like being a pilot: the dangerous parts are the takeoff and the landing, and it's autopilot in between.

“You can always scope them in the morning.” I sweat to you this is true. Every morning like clockwork, starting at 530, we’d bring in all the inpatient Endoscopy patients. While also having to handle all the in patient critical care CTs. I swear Gastro and CC had a like a weird fetish about not doing anything until 530 AM.
I get that it's easier to let people do most of their fasting hours while asleep, but if a patient hasn't even been eating due to their condition & you still insist on the AM, like... It HAS TO BE a fetish at that point. 😅
I almost bled out because gastro wouldn't scope me in the hospital until the next day even though I hadn't eaten for days and it was only 9am. They had to call a rapid response team for me that night and I woke up in ICU getting blood transfusions with my colon missing and a colostomy bag. Good times.
This is why I'm glad I'm a dentist. I love your videos. My dad had a 50 year career in medicine as a general surgeon and in family practice. My god the stories he probably had. He didn't tell me a single one. Probably dead inside. Anyways keep up the videos!
Yay!! Thanks for including the dietitian! As a renal dietitian now & previously clinical RDN at a hospital, I could relate to so much! Correcting TPNs, but mostly trying to avoid TPN with a functioning gut, working with pharmacy to alert them that wrong order was sent! And oh the mismanagement of insulin I see, over use lasix, correcting metabolic acidosis & electrolyte imbalances… all while trying to counsel (misguided) patients about the most obnoxious fad diets/supplements they are on… not to mention constantly telling patients we don’t carry food around with us & to call food service instead 🤪. The most under-recognized profession, but we do love what we do for sure 🙌🏼 And YES! We all take deep sighs of frustration every time we are asked about documentaries & / or about Dr. Oz! 🤣 All of these are ON POINT!!
This brought back a lot of memories! I graduated in '85, and am still writing detailed notes that almost no one will read - but I do! So many of these were very relatable, but I can happily report that I worked with a very wonderful vascular surgery preceptor when I was a student - I learned an awful lot from him, and appreciated very much that I wasn't assigned to the other attending who fit the stereotype you presented.
Don't put yourself down like that. I'm sure for a few of your patients those notes will end up being useful to another doctor. I know that the ones written by my old PCP (internal medicine doctor) have been very appreciated by my new PCP (also internal medicine) since they made going through my long medical record a lot easier. I'm only 24 and my medical record is already longer than most people in their 50s or later AND we have still yet to figure everything out so there is a ton of tests from all different specialties in there.
I'm in a similar position to the person above. For what it's worth, *I* read whatever notes I'm allowed to, and I do my best to accurately pass relevant data on to appropriate individuals throughout my team of treating professionals. You are appreciated.
My dad was hospice director in our county for over 20 years...and yes he did have a weekly choir called the Hopeful Spirit Chorale that would visit palliative patient in their homes and sing hymns!!! It was very cathartic.
As a medical coder and NOT a doctor, nurse, or clinician of any type, I still think most of these are hilarious. And when I show them to my friends who don't know anything about healthcare, they wonder wtf is wrong with me.
I have met every one of these characters in my 19 years in education (4 hellish years in Gen Ed, and 15 years in Spec Ed). Oh, they go by different names, but they’re the same characters.
I don't work in Healthcare but still find them highly entertaining (even though some terminology goes over my head)! I especially love how Dr. G is bringing important topics to light too.
I've watched this about ten times and it never gets old. Today, for the first time however, I spotted the comment, "Just so you know, the med student honored all of his rotations" and I laughed so loudly, I startled the dog. Ahh yesss...the all-important, coveted, "Honors." Even the comment is perfect satire. Truly inspired.
I'm a nurse and you are hilarious. The different doctors I've worked with are spot on, good job! I'll be sending this to my friend who just started her own practice. Stay safe!
The love for occupational therapy is real! Admittedly, I am a nurse and only learnt of OT in my second year of school. Had I known before I applied I know where I would have ended up for sure!
I love all of your vids but my faves are the ones with neurology. That FACE when he steps out of the room into the hall, those glasses, that hair, like seeing an endangered animal in the wild, then it catches your scent and darts away before you can give chase XD
I do not know if I got lucky or not but my neurosurgery elective was incredible, the chief was so laid back and chill (he was f’’’ing brilliant) but it set the tone for all the lower rank residents. Almost went into neurology (father was DEPT Chair different Medical School) but this was forty years ago and I didn’t like that after the hunt for the correct diagnosis you end up saying you have X but there is nothing I can do for you.
Are you sure you didn't go into neurology? I could swear that you have treated me in the past. And now, 30 years later, you're treating my daughter, except you haven't found her x yet.
Yes the bane of neurology, and neurosurgery. Older neurologists used to follow up with stroke patients for years. Now by discharge you are a former neuro patient don't call us!
Don't be intimidated by anyone. When you run into an asshole keep smiling and yessiring. Keep calm and carry on. Keep studying hard. Never allow others to see what you actually think of them. play the game. 10 years from now you'll be in the driver's seat.
@@Shattered-Realm judging by his videos....it seems like there are a lot of assholes in med-school ....... do people really feel that irritated by asking questions?
@@memoranda1 not that many. Most people are supportive but the 5-10% that aren't will tend to ruin your day. And you have to be nice to them otherwise it's a domino effect. All the assholes friends will hate you as well and you will be miserable. Questions aren't really welcome once you actually finish medical school. In med school you have teachers and discuss patients, cases ect. But once you actually start working nobody has time to explain anything to you. It's on the job training and you're expected to be up to date with current guidelines for anything you're treating in a particular ward. It's nothing to due with irratation but 100% to do with time pressure. Nobody is going to spoonfeed you that information you just have memorize it, despite working 80+ hours a week. Even if your consultant and senior medical staff are nice and want to teach you they will not have time and neither will you. It's just a sad fact of life. Occasional questions are tolerated but if you have numerous questions all the time you will just be shut down.
Does anybody anywhere get actual, hardcopy, paper journals any more? Oh, here's a good one, does anybody remember asking authors to send them a reprint? Ohhhh, remember the excitement, that particular smell, when the journal sent you your reprints? And you'd open the big envelope, and out would waft the smell of science, and for just that moment you'd feel like you had achieved something... ahem. As a post grad, my alma mater's health sciences library received journals by surface mail - getting to Down Under from Up There, it could take months for an issue to come in. BUT the esteemed research institution juuuuust across the road got their by air mail. To us, that was practically real time! So, you could try to sneak across the road and into their library - but they had killer-attack combat librarians whose job it was to keep the university hoi polloi out of their library. It could be a constant battle of wits. The best approach was to befriend someone who was a student there, or try to follow someone in after a seminar - supervisors who practically had to drag their students out of the labs to go to seminars could never figure out why we were always so eager to attend the ones at WEHI... crap, I feel even older now.
Im pretty young so i havent experienced actual hard copies of journal issues yet 😅 i would love to though! But open access science is hard to come across these days... One perk of digital journal issues is the shorter delivery time. another perk is that you can *creatively acquire* a pdf of a research article online when theres a paywall. or instead of asking the authors for a reprint, you can ask them for a pdf! they dont get paid much, or at all, for publishing in journals, so asking them for a pdf usually works

I have been LMAO for 12 minutes thanks to you and I truly appreciate it. OMG, the Dr. Oz thing is SOOOO relevant right now!!! I could watch these all day! Sigh.
This is hysterical! I am a retired RN & I've seen many situations very close to these and/or I've experienced some that had some similarities. Great job! 👏👊💥💫🤸♀️
"you can always scope in the morning." I literally just got out of the hospital this afternoon, as a GI patient. Had a bleed. Guess when they scoped? Yup. In the morning lol. Gawd, that was such a true bit.
I shadowed a bypass surgery as a high school student and the surgeon said literally the same thing. And as someone with a background in immunology I felt the clinical genetics stereotype in my core!
That pharmacy skit felt more like nursing... the number of times I've had to be like "hey doc I don't think you meant to order this" and they're like "this voice mailbox is full"

Wow, this compilation was undeniably absolutely entertaining; in every aspect of the video. You’re an amazing actor, and not to mention; an incredible singer. You’re also seem like a top-notch doctor; above all else. ✌️
I am an anesthesiologist and I have to say, the anesthesia one was PERFECT. 80% of the job is dealing with surgeons, 10% is remaining calm during a complication and 10% is everything else. Also the surgical ones were perfect. Having worked in a service with cardiothoracic surgery residency, I felt that "WELCOME TO HELL" in my bones. It was just about what I imagined must have been those people's every waking moment, and that is to say every moment because they didn't sleep.
I’m a high school drop out and don’t understand a lick of any of the terminology but the tone, the tone is gold, priceless and what pulls it all together
My bf is a neurosurgeon he asked me if i was interested in becoming a med student. In the first week that we were talking, very confident i said yeah im interested in anesthesia. I cant imagine what went thru his mind that he told me well you could be a certified nurse too 🤣🤣
To be fair on the take a break when offered, in the Marines when deployed, we are told to sleep whenever we can, even if we just got up, but for some reason sleep is being offered or the situation arises.
Well I went to med school over 40 years ago. It looks like some things don’t change! You’ve got the stereotypes down cold…now I’m trying to figure out what YOUR specialty is. Keep up the good work.
“We want you to accept liability by giving us advice on a pt you’ve never seen before”. That was spot on. Brilliant
"I am gonna go write some notes that nobody is gonna read." That hit home
Same lol. But honestly, if anybody needs an extremely thorough history and physical, they should always read the med student notes!
I can totally verify!

I get that it's easier to let people do most of their fasting hours while asleep, but if a patient hasn't even been eating due to their condition & you still insist on the AM, like... It HAS TO BE a fetish at that point. 😅
I almost bled out because gastro wouldn't scope me in the hospital until the next day even though I hadn't eaten for days and it was only 9am. They had to call a rapid response team for me that night and I woke up in ICU getting blood transfusions with my colon missing and a colostomy bag. Good times.
@@LillithDeSire yep. It’s insane.
"I haven't even started my 45 minute tangent on a completely unrelated topic"
So relatable🤣🤣🤣
This is why I'm glad I'm a dentist. I love your videos. My dad had a 50 year career in medicine as a general surgeon and in family practice. My god the stories he probably had. He didn't tell me a single one. Probably dead inside. Anyways keep up the videos!
Probably just eshausted from all the work, and totally wanting to separate things at home.
anesthesiologist is my favorite character ever
Yay!! Thanks for including the dietitian! As a renal dietitian now & previously clinical RDN at a hospital, I could relate to so much! Correcting TPNs, but mostly trying to avoid TPN with a functioning gut, working with pharmacy to alert them that wrong order was sent! And oh the mismanagement of insulin I see, over use lasix, correcting metabolic acidosis & electrolyte imbalances… all while trying to counsel (misguided) patients about the most obnoxious fad diets/supplements they are on… not to mention constantly telling patients we don’t carry food around with us & to call food service instead 🤪.
The most under-recognized profession, but we do love what we do for sure 🙌🏼
And YES! We all take deep sighs of frustration every time we are asked about documentaries & / or about Dr. Oz! 🤣 All of these are ON POINT!!
Kidney dietitian thank you! My partner has PKD x
From a nursing pov what we love most is when doctors write on dietician charts then get angry with the nurses for ignoring their 'orders'. Lol
The GI Bleed paradox! I just about died there. 😂 love Dr. G.
-recovering ICU RN
The rheumatology one hits me as a patient. The amount of time I have spent arguing with insurance is mind boggling.
This brought back a lot of memories! I graduated in '85, and am still writing detailed notes that almost no one will read - but I do! So many of these were very relatable, but I can happily report that I worked with a very wonderful vascular surgery preceptor when I was a student - I learned an awful lot from him, and appreciated very much that I wasn't assigned to the other attending who fit the stereotype you presented.
Don't put yourself down like that. I'm sure for a few of your patients those notes will end up being useful to another doctor. I know that the ones written by my old PCP (internal medicine doctor) have been very appreciated by my new PCP (also internal medicine) since they made going through my long medical record a lot easier.
I'm only 24 and my medical record is already longer than most people in their 50s or later AND we have still yet to figure everything out so there is a ton of tests from all different specialties in there.
I'm in a similar position to the person above. For what it's worth, *I* read whatever notes I'm allowed to, and I do my best to accurately pass relevant data on to appropriate individuals throughout my team of treating professionals. You are appreciated.
The "he can snake a drain" line had me rolling.
As an ICU nurse the vascular surgery one was so, so true in every respect.
Went to med school 25 yrs ago. I feel every second of this video deep in my heart. especially those endless I.M rounds.....
My dad was hospice director in our county for over 20 years...and yes he did have a weekly choir called the Hopeful Spirit Chorale that would visit palliative patient in their homes and sing hymns!!! It was very cathartic.
As a medical coder and NOT a doctor, nurse, or clinician of any type, I still think most of these are hilarious. And when I show them to my friends who don't know anything about healthcare, they wonder wtf is wrong with me.
Someday, when their health goes haywire, just have them rewatch all of these. It'll answer all their questions.
I have met every one of these characters in my 19 years in education (4 hellish years in Gen Ed, and 15 years in Spec Ed). Oh, they go by different names, but they’re the same characters.
I don't work in Healthcare but still find them highly entertaining (even though some terminology goes over my head)! I especially love how Dr. G is bringing important topics to light too.
For some reason OTs are all so kind and nice and just radiate good energy 😂🌻
I've found that too. They kind of have to be! I love OTs ❤
I've watched this about ten times and it never gets old. Today, for the first time however, I spotted the comment, "Just so you know, the med student honored all of his rotations" and I laughed so loudly, I startled the dog. Ahh yesss...the all-important, coveted, "Honors." Even the comment is perfect satire. Truly inspired.
I'm a nurse and you are hilarious. The different doctors I've worked with are spot on, good job! I'll be sending this to my friend who just started her own practice.
Stay safe!
Nothing like being an ICU nurse in a teaching hospital!
"1% pheochromocytoma" yup, that's 100% accurate med school
“Rheumatology’s my daddy” took me OUT
The love for occupational therapy is real! Admittedly, I am a nurse and only learnt of OT in my second year of school. Had I known before I applied I know where I would have ended up for sure!
Same!
This hot shot med student may have honored all of his rotations, but I got straight Ps!...Which I'm pretty sure stands for perfect.
Lol the cardiothoracic surgeon is on point, one of the attendings went to my gym and he was the most grumpy, gruff old man ever.
all of these are almost terrifyingly true world wide for some reason xD
I love all of your vids but my faves are the ones with neurology. That FACE when he steps out of the room into the hall, those glasses, that hair, like seeing an endangered animal in the wild, then it catches your scent and darts away before you can give chase XD
I do not know if I got lucky or not but my neurosurgery elective was incredible, the chief was so laid back and chill (he was f’’’ing brilliant) but it set the tone for all the lower rank residents. Almost went into neurology (father was DEPT Chair different Medical School) but this was forty years ago and I didn’t like that after the hunt for the correct diagnosis you end up saying you have X but there is nothing I can do for you.
Are you sure you didn't go into neurology? I could swear that you have treated me in the past. And now, 30 years later, you're treating my daughter, except you haven't found her x yet.
Yes the bane of neurology, and neurosurgery. Older neurologists used to follow up with stroke patients for years. Now by discharge you are a former neuro patient don't call us!
I'm a first-year med student. I don't know how to feel about those *intimidating* people in rotations lol
Love your videos!
Don't be intimidated by anyone. When you run into an asshole keep smiling and yessiring. Keep calm and carry on. Keep studying hard. Never allow others to see what you actually think of them. play the game. 10 years from now you'll be in the driver's seat.
@@Shattered-Realm Omg, wow. Thank you for this!
@@Shattered-Realm judging by his videos....it seems like there are a lot of assholes in med-school ....... do people really feel that irritated by asking questions?
@@memoranda1 not that many. Most people are supportive but the 5-10% that aren't will tend to ruin your day. And you have to be nice to them otherwise it's a domino effect. All the assholes friends will hate you as well and you will be miserable.
Questions aren't really welcome once you actually finish medical school. In med school you have teachers and discuss patients, cases ect. But once you actually start working nobody has time to explain anything to you. It's on the job training and you're expected to be up to date with current guidelines for anything you're treating in a particular ward. It's nothing to due with irratation but 100% to do with time pressure.
Nobody is going to spoonfeed you that information you just have memorize it, despite working 80+ hours a week. Even if your consultant and senior medical staff are nice and want to teach you they will not have time and neither will you. It's just a sad fact of life. Occasional questions are tolerated but if you have numerous questions all the time you will just be shut down.
It’s worse because in real life they’re not trying to be funny 😆
I graduated med school in 1992, but the vascular service bit still made me wince in remembrance 😮
Watching these for the 5th time because they're just so damn relatable !
Omg the ward rounds for Internal medicine are absolutely brutal. I remember once doing rounds for 6 hours.
I used to get ECT 6x a month. I told one doctor that my favorite ECT staffer would probably be the anesthesiologist if I could only remember them.
Lol
Does anybody anywhere get actual, hardcopy, paper journals any more? Oh, here's a good one, does anybody remember asking authors to send them a reprint? Ohhhh, remember the excitement, that particular smell, when the journal sent you your reprints? And you'd open the big envelope, and out would waft the smell of science, and for just that moment you'd feel like you had achieved something... ahem.
As a post grad, my alma mater's health sciences library received journals by surface mail - getting to Down Under from Up There, it could take months for an issue to come in. BUT the esteemed research institution juuuuust across the road got their by air mail. To us, that was practically real time! So, you could try to sneak across the road and into their library - but they had killer-attack combat librarians whose job it was to keep the university hoi polloi out of their library. It could be a constant battle of wits. The best approach was to befriend someone who was a student there, or try to follow someone in after a seminar - supervisors who practically had to drag their students out of the labs to go to seminars could never figure out why we were always so eager to attend the ones at WEHI... crap, I feel even older now.
Im pretty young so i havent experienced actual hard copies of journal issues yet 😅 i would love to though! But open access science is hard to come across these days... One perk of digital journal issues is the shorter delivery time. another perk is that you can *creatively acquire* a pdf of a research article online when theres a paywall. or instead of asking the authors for a reprint, you can ask them for a pdf! they dont get paid much, or at all, for publishing in journals, so asking them for a pdf usually works
I work in a medical school and we actually do receive hardcopy, paper journals. A whole bunch. Copies of copies. So it's not completely gone.
Pediatrician here. I'd lie if I say I don't have any little stuffed toys attached to my mini, toy-sized-stethoscope, and/or any cartoonish drawings in my scrub =b
I am not in the medical field at all, but I have family who is and I've been to hospitals enough to recognize some of these "personalities". I have been LMAO for 12 minutes thanks to you and I truly appreciate it. OMG, the Dr. Oz thing is SOOOO relevant right now!!! I could watch these all day! Sigh.
If it makes any med students feel any better I read your guys' notes all the time when I was doing my APPE rotations as a pharmacy student :)
This is hysterical! I am a retired RN & I've seen many situations very close to these and/or I've experienced some that had some similarities. Great job! 👏👊💥💫🤸♀️
Would like to personally thank all the pharmacists that have saved my life.
I love these skits. As a patient with several medical issues and in medical I can agree to so much of this.
"you can always scope in the morning." I literally just got out of the hospital this afternoon, as a GI patient. Had a bleed. Guess when they scoped? Yup. In the morning lol. Gawd, that was such a true bit.
Thank you for all of these videos!!!!!!
As a Vet Med student I find these very comical, and I can also think to myself silly human healers for added comedic effect. Very noice.
I shadowed a bypass surgery as a high school student and the surgeon said literally the same thing.
And as someone with a background in immunology I felt the clinical genetics stereotype in my core!
Can you help me with that one (CG)?
Fantastic! I could watch all day!
Awwwwwwwww
PT and OT are just lovely
I'm no where related to the medical field, never even taken bio during hs, but i still fully enjoy every second of this guys channel
Cardiothoracic surgeon! Spot on! I worked in a pacu in a hospital known for heart surgery. They are scary!
These edits make my day, thank you
First year med student here. Love your content, love the one about internal medicine
"Uh. Start Lasix?"
After a burn like that, no wonder he went into Opthomology.
I wanted to be an eye surgeon but I flunked the initial interview simply because I, like you, misspelled ophthalmology. 🤯
Watching this again, it‘s simply genius. How can all of them be so accurate??!
The way my heart broke for the clinical geneticist 💔
That pharmacy skit felt more like nursing... the number of times I've had to be like "hey doc I don't think you meant to order this" and they're like "this voice mailbox is full"
You should really upload med student's first day of cardiothoracic surgery.
That one never fails to give me a good laugh.
I spent 45+ yrs working in acute care teaching hospitals. This is priceless. Thanks for the many laughs.
I absolutely cannot begin to tell you how much I love your videos!! Absolutely stellar content!! And even great awesome acting!! I said acting with air quotes!!. Rotations sucks! Please keep up the awesome job thank you so much for sharing this with everyone I can’t wait to see more!!.
"You never pass up a break" is like the first law of anesthesia
Your content, acting, everything is so awesome 🤩
These were excellent!
My heart bled for the clinical geneticist.🥺.
Call internal for a consult.
Wow, this compilation was undeniably absolutely entertaining; in every aspect of the video. You’re an amazing actor, and not to mention; an incredible singer. You’re also seem like a top-notch doctor; above all else. ✌️
The last one is so true, it had me wheezing. Thanks for the videos!
Pure gold.
I am an anesthesiologist and I have to say, the anesthesia one was PERFECT. 80% of the job is dealing with surgeons, 10% is remaining calm during a complication and 10% is everything else.
Also the surgical ones were perfect. Having worked in a service with cardiothoracic surgery residency, I felt that "WELCOME TO HELL" in my bones. It was just about what I imagined must have been those people's every waking moment, and that is to say every moment because they didn't sleep.
I’m a high school drop out and don’t understand a lick of any of the terminology but the tone, the tone is gold, priceless and what pulls it all together
I'm not a doctor, but I've been in the hospital more times than is good for me. Dr. G. is point-on.
These are great!
My bf is a neurosurgeon he asked me if i was interested in becoming a med student. In the first week that we were talking, very confident i said yeah im interested in anesthesia.
I cant imagine what went thru his mind that he told me well you could be a certified nurse too 🤣🤣
I cannot say I love this dr more than I love this dr
I'm not even in the medical field but laughed really hard at these. Every field has its frustrations and idiosyncrasies.
Even by Indian standards this is very accurate depiction of all departments
Bullseye accurate
We need a video on only cardiothoracic surgery!
I wanted to find out morel ore
I never laugh as hard as I do when I watch these videos! I'm going into residency next year and this cracks me up 🤣
One of the best ones
To be fair on the take a break when offered, in the Marines when deployed, we are told to sleep whenever we can, even if we just got up, but for some reason sleep is being offered or the situation arises.
Well I went to med school over 40 years ago. It looks like some things don’t change! You’ve got the stereotypes down cold…now I’m trying to figure out what YOUR specialty is. Keep up the good work.
