Cardiology Consulting GI

2 mortal enemies, forever at odds. Blood thinners, pressors and more!

"He was dead before, but now he's alive" = Shift report in CCUs all the time. Its fine.

My first job was in cardiac, and I will never forget the day the I overheard the GI consult poring over my pt’s chart and mumbling, “Jeeeesus, they’re gonna kill this guy!” So he writes a bunch of orders and flags it “Cardiology to Approve.”

An hour and a half later Cardiology wanders in and takes a look at the orders, and *immediately* starts vigorously shaking his head, saying, “oh no! No. Oh... no. What, they wanna kill this guy??”

So, so surreal.

The sixth pressor is just super tight compression stockings and a CPM device on each leg.

"Can you come scope him" I can call the chapel and ask them to send the priest.

Coming from a nurses perspective, when that doc says “but he needs it” and the other doctor says “yea tru” is so unintentionally funny

[sumayahwardah]

Lmao he even nailed the way cardiologists are so lax when talking about obviously extremely unnerving and troubling things hah

[cookimonstar]

When you work for both specialities this conversation is even funnier because of how tru it is 😂😂😂

This is why doctors are often accused of treating conditions and not patients. Cardiology: Good news! The high blood pressure is gone, and he’s no longer at risk for a stroke!
Pathology: Well, he’s not at risk for anything anymore…

I'm a CNA on a cardiac surgery unit. This reminds me of the reports I get from nurses. I've even had pts who came in for one night for a minor cardiac issue or who have to stay overnight due to elevated troponins and are given a blood thinner as a precaution. They end up with a GI bleed and end up in the hospital for days.

I also love the cardiologists mannerisms. A hallmark of cardiology seems to be both being incredibly manner of fact and being unphased by just about everything.

very precise... whats missing is the gi guy calling surgery cause they perforated the stomach.

The other day i was asked to check in on a patient in the Cardiology unit.

I must admit, i was confused. Usually Cardiology sends their patients to me, not the other way around.

So i walk in, greet the patient and ask the nurse why i was called.

"To do your thing."

"Nurse, it would be highly unethical for me to do that."

"Why?"

"Because I'm a Pathologist."

My last name, my legal name, is Wolf.

There are three Dr. Wolfs in the hospital.

As a nurse I have overheard these conversations. This is funny but real

[papercut]

Sometimes i wonder if doctors ever think “maybe we should just let this guy go—“

[samanthasearl]

Omg, they had to bring an Internalist in to mediate between my dad's cardiologist and GI. 🤣🤣🤣

[paulamiller]

❤️❤️❤️”Yeah, but we want to keep giving it to him.” ❤️❤️❤️

These are so funny because they’re so real. 😀

As a former CICU RN at a major academic medical centre, I can attest to the veracity of this video. 🤣😂

"He's on six pressors"
"SIX?!!!"
"Yeah, we had to make one up because of how unstable he was."

I once had to take medicine and the neurologist said I need to take it, but I gained a lot of weight and got problems because of that. So the endocrinologist wrote a letter to my neurologist saying she needs to stop the medicine from his point of view but the neurologist just shrug his shoulders and I had to keep them. There was no alternative working. Difficult situation to decide who is more right.

[susanmohamed]

He was so sick, we had to make one up (7th, unexisting presser). Too funny !

[mijuajua]

“We had to make one up” I’m dying here....🤣😂 LOVE your vids!
