How to Ace your Ortho Residency Interview

Applicant bro is definitely ranked to match

[Bowery_]

When I was an intern on an ortho rotation I got paged about a post-op toddler with noisy breathing and abnormal vitals. Called my ortho registrar who said, "I don't know what to do about that, call paediatrics". Called paediatrics who refused to see the patient until my registrar had physically assessed and tried to make a plan for him first. Ortho registrar came down and calmly announced to paediatrics that his plan for the patient was to do the two most wrong things possible. Paediatrics panicked at how wrong his plan was and immediately went to see and take over the patient. Orthopods are not as dumb as they like to appear.

"What is bone marrow?"
"Internal Medicine's problem"
Not going to lie, I laughed out loud at that one

My dad is an orthopedic surgeon and I can verify he loves the surgeries, hates paperwork, and loves to arm wrestle for fun

As an engineer, I have a serious question: do you level up surgical cap colors like karate belts

You forgot that they are all hulking, 2m tall giants, even the women! I remember an internship at a hospital that specialises in trauma and accident treatment, and during my stay they had a large seminar and a bunch of em were in the hospital that day. I went into the cafeteria during my lunch break and had to walk through a group of them and I was easily the smallest person in the room at 1, 86m tall. What are they feeding them?! Discarded bone marrow?!

I find it wonderful how you take each character and give each of them a unique personality to the point that I, a non-medical person, can figure out who you’re talking about, simply by how they look and some of the words that they say. Like bro I know it’s ortho.
My sister is a pediatric, intensive care, nurse, and the skit you did with the Nicu babies, and the nurses reactions to the thought of someone holding the baby was spot on! 😂

I'm an Ortho 1st assistant, this had me almost in tears laughing😂 the Stryker scrub cap was a great touch 👌🏼

What is a double blind study? - Two orthopods trying to read an EKG.

"what's the first thing you say when you pick up the phone?"
"BRO!"

My dad, orthopedic/trauma surgeon, would say the worst thing in the world is motorcycles. Ah yes, and people expecting him to do medicine lol (he said once "the nurse called me because my patient was vomiting! What did she did she expect me to do? Is the patient vomiting bone? No? Than that's not with me!" he was serious. Every time I got sick and told him he would freak out and call my mom or stepmother (depending on when on the time line), both pediatricians, because he didn't know what to do with someone vomiting, with a fever, a headache, etc. Not to say he isn't a great orthopedic/trauma surgeon, but he retired from the rest of medicine a long time ago
And the best is operating. Probably followed by nice grandmas who bring him chocolate every appointment. But operating is a decisive first. I think he loves his family, but he only comes home from from the hospital (occasionally) because he doesn't have anyone else to operate. I remember how much he suffered during covid, only operating emergencies for a few months... Never seen him so broken before

Damn I still can’t believe I was always watching a fake account, I’ve never had a tiktok just YouTube, glad everything is getting sorting. Getting ready for a family med interview in like 20 minutes, wish it was this easy

[grayg]

That's the specialty you don't wanna fight. They can break you and fix you too.

I'm an orthopedic surgeon and you are one seriously funny dude. Love your videos, thanks for making me laugh

[cindyguevara]

Can you please do a Radiologist one?! I’m a CT/MRI technologist and I’m dying to see your take on it. You’re da man

[lost]

Can't wait for more of this series! (And to rewatch all of your older content!)

[spiralrose]

I love your stuff so much! I’m not having a career in medicine right now, but I think I’m learning a little bit from you. Plus I love Bone Bro, he’s just so sweet.

[wendy]

Damnnn that was good. Especially the documentation part. That is the hospitalist’s problem 😂 ortho consults medicine to get them to answer queries from the coder about acute blood loss anemia and any part of their PMH 🙄

[povilzem]

I swear, in my hospital this interview also includes the "do you enjoy writing your diagnoses in a dead language?"
To which, the answer is "fractura basalis phalangis proximalis digiti quinti manus dex."

[vailstlchick]

As a physical therapist who deals with ortho docs on the regular, can 100% confirm!
