Having Fun with General Surgery

This is all for your own learning

I didn't think I could miss fictional characters played by one person so much

[wrenhavens]

Poor Cecum has never recovered from his father's questionable naming decisions.

[KyleRayner]

The only unrealistic part is that he's sticking around to watch intently instead of immediately leaving and delegating monitoring the student to the resident.

Little does General Surgery know that his kids graduated college 5 years ago

"At this point its a race between you and the fibroblasts, and the fibroblasts are winning" 😂😂😂

No pressure there, Med Student. 😂😂

"They look like hands... but why dont they work like hands?"

“….in psychiatry” had laughing hard enough to wake my kid up. And I spent 2 hours getting her to sleep

In 26 years of training residents I thought I knew all the best lines (eg tell me you want this patient dead, then everything you've done so far will begin to make sense to me) but "are you sure you are right handed" is *chef's kiss*

Today I had a one-year post-op evaluation for bilat cataracts.

I wore my “Loyal Scribe” shirt.

The doc nodded in approval.

[dmc]

"Med student was engaged, interested, asked relavent and clinically meaningful questions. Impressive knowledge of subject matter. Strong work."

Evaluation: 3/5

I have managed to get all my doctors hooked on your website. It’s fun to go to my different doctors and talk about your episodes that we have seen. They really enjoy your humor. It’s nice to see them take a break from being so serious and I feel like laughing together creates a nice connection between us. Thanks for the laughs. All the best to you and your family❣️

Well for starters the med student is already contaminating the OR by wearing his white coat and must be kicked out lol 😂

[varunkodali]

"You know I gotta say you suture like a senior resident", I thought I was going to hear the surgeon compliment someone other than himself for the first time. You got me in the first half

[melissamadsen]

I worked with an attending who loved to tell people "I've seen it done better, but never slower" and watch their faces go from happy to sad as the meaning sunk in 😂😂😂

[queenoflammersland]

Oh, how I remember the pimping! “Did you go to an American medical school?” (💭yes…this one). “Do you gals like depriving men of jobs, when most of you will be wasting your training by having babies?” (35 years and three babies later, still working). “You women don’t have the upper body strength to do obstetrics “ (💭little hands are deft and skilled when working in small spaces). Most of our mentors were great, and the oncologists that pimped us on Cancer staging at 5 am rounds kept us on our toes for sure. But there were always a few sadistic types in the old days., .

Keep those vids coming, eyeball bro! Your Health Care month was superb and realistic. But your character driven sketches make us docs laugh and shake off our PTSD as we wait on hold doing our Peer-to-Peers.

"Pick a thought in your brain and say it."


Screaming is a thought, right?

“You suture like a senior resident…in psychiatry.” That’s some shade right there, lol. How I’ve missed these characters.

A surgeon once asked me about a song that came on the radio: "who is the guitarist and what kind of guitar does he play?". Thankfully it was a procedure being done under spinal anesthesia so the patient was awake and able to feed me the answer.

I'm following you from El Salvador. Before I saw your videos, I believed that these situations happened only in Latin America. You transported me 20 years ago during my Surgery Rotations. Thank you for your videos!

[christavernon]

This is spot on. My friend just finished her surgery rotation and was asked to recite the Gettysburg address.
