Couples Therapy: Anesthesia and Surgery

It’s time to take down the drape

[faiyajbinamin]

"Do not drape glare me" is my new favorite threat

I literally just fell off my bed laughing when he put on the Charge Nurse cap. Lesson learned, make sure you're sitting securely before watching this channel!

[sistakia]

This is SO good!

Next couple in therapy: Cardiology and Nephrology!

My favorite charge nurse when I worked in the ED was a 5’2, maybe 110lb when wet, delicately beautiful woman with the absolute sweetest disposition… until you copped an attitude or dared treat one of her nurses badly. She could fire off a stream of profanity laden threats that would make even the neurosurgeons sweat, stammer, and apologize. I’ve seen her stand toe to toe with a big suddenly belligerent patient, staying between him and her team while security was still on the way. That woman was steel and fire, and an absolute angel of a friend 🥰.

Man I miss those ED days. Closest crew you could ever hope for.

I’m a gen. surgery resident and just completed 2 years (the unwritten rite of passage from the bottom of the barrel to someone that matters) and cant believe how universal some of your character portrayals are. You hear some of these so many times in the OR that they become background noise. (My favorite is when the surgeon gets frustrated with the incision they themselves made too small to move comfortably inside the abdomen and shout at anesthesia that the “patient is straining!”)

Absolute gospel. Old scrub tech here. AKA expert witness to the scenarios and behaviors. I was in the OR mid 80’s in a Catholic hospital when the DON was a nun. Their greatest fear back then- and hopefully today was THE change nurse.
Lol. Love the content!

As a charge nurse, I truly appreciate that representation 😂😂😂

Hearing "grand rounds" sent shivers down my spine. This skit went from comedy to horror in seconds. Amazing transition Dr. Glauc.

*gasp* "Charge nurse!" I've had many surgeries. Lots of hospital stays. As a experienced patient, yes... Accurate. I had a charge nurse threaten to break my fingers once. I was just back in my room after surgery. Still drugged. I wanted to see the incision, so I was picking at the dressing. This Viking warrior woman came into my room. Big, tall, 2 grey braids over each shoulder. Honestly, she was only missing a horned helmet to finish out the Viking look. She saw what I was doing and her first words were, "you keep picking at those and I'll break your fingers." I loved her instantly. She was great, no nonsense, no filter, awesome care, tolerated no bs. I couldn't get away with anything. Trust me, lol I tried. Never mess with charge nurses.
I'd love a video of neurology vs charge nurse.

I’m a plastic surgery resident and the best situation I’ve experienced yet was, when the anaesthesiologist moved the croc shoe of one of the chief surgeons during an operation. He had to do several x-Rays during the procedure and slid out of his shoe. I saw it from the other side of the table how anaes. shoe appeared under the table and pushed the shoe slightly away and to the side. It was honestly hilarious.

[biosparkles]

My grandma was a theatre/OR charge nurse and she was truly the most formidable woman you'd ever meet. She raised my mum to be extremely strong and independent, and likewise my mother raised me to be the same. I'm so grateful for the legacy she passed down.

[DocHumanMan]

It’s true 😂
I did a surgery like 4 months ago and they were missing around until the charge nurse came and she started talking to them like she was disciplining kids😂😂😂

[rda]

Charge Nurse is the ultimate cheat code!!!!
Let me tell you something Mr. Content Creator.... I've learned more about the healthcare system and the inner workings of a hospital staff in the last 3 months from your videos... and been thoroughly entertained. THANK YOU. 🖤

[epaybe]

I am a psychiatry resident and I can confirm that threats and ultimatums are time-tested psychotherapy techniques.

[heidiuscrap]

If the charge nurse ain't happy, ain't nobody happy.

[srivirao]
