I really hate the abusive "I suffered unnecessarily so now you have to too". Why not put that energy into making things better for the people who come after you?

[genethompson]

"We have to pay more to learn more while also trying to change the culture of medicine from a paternalistic free-for-all to something that actually values the mental and physical health of patients AND doctors."

Wow, that was an incredibly powerful line. Well said!

People don't give Dr. Glaucomflecken enough credit for not only being very funny but also being a great ASMR channel.

I’m REALLY GLAD that someone finally becomes brave enough to tell the previous generation that being the current med student is not easier and put an end to the pointless comparison between their experience and current med student experience…

[elwynbrooks]

The residency workload is so clearly designed by someone who assumes everyone is able-bodied, rich, and has a full-time long-suffering stay-at-home partner taking care of literally anything outside of work ... and they're also still doing coke in the lounge

It is insane

[davidbingham]

I remember wanting to do this to one of my professors that complained that med students today didn’t spend nearly as much time studying anatomy as he did back in his day.
I wanted to corner him and say “ok, fair enough. How much time did you spend studying genetics? How about MRIs? How about immunology? ACE inhibitors? Prions? Cytokines? Monoclonal antibody treatments? Imaging studies using radioactive isotopes? You didn’t study ANY of those things? Because they didnt exist back then?
Gosh, what did you do with all your free time?”

[hellodzheng]

This felt more like a much-needed PSA than an actual skit. Bravo.

[ludmilamaiolini]

Let’s work toward a day when healthcare professionals recognize burn out as a problem instead of wearing it like a badge of honor

[Ficon]

For those who don't know what the "lines of coke" is referring to, look up William Halstead, one of the founders of Johns Hopkins who basically established the toxic and abusive work culture of the surgeons to this day.

This is the exact argument I have with my parents all the time 😂
They graduated 30 years ago and always say that we now have nothing to complain about. Yeah, dad, but you don't own 3 years of your life to some understaffed country hospital that will grab your butt after graduation, since they agreed to pay for your studies. And no, mom, I can't put an IV because I haven't seen any patients for 2 years now and all of my nurse training was supposed to be during those years. Also patients don't trust us to do anything anyway and due to the new policies they have the right to send us away even during examination.
Also, as a pediatrics student I have 6/7 more subjects that you did in medschool, guys.
Why don't people understand that it never is and never will be easy 🤦‍♀️

[Mosamania]

This video doesn’t show the part 2 where the surgeon sends a letter to their training supervisor recommending that these med students repeat a year due to gross incompetence that have endangered patient lives and turning their lives pure hell out of nothing but pure malice.

I say this as a surgeon who has had to work with surgeons like that.

[PhoenixRoseYT]

A bunch of us students at my school had this EXACT convo amongst ourselves the other day. We have entire classes that didn’t exist when our professors were in school…

[hashslingingslasher]

Ok I lost it at that final line.

BTW, everyone in my residency loves your vids Dr. G! Glad I can support the real channel now.

[medelicityliu]

After all that clap back, the med students still ask if there is anything they can do for him 🥺

Also, low key wanna see them take down neurosurgery next

[AchiAhisar]

This quickly went from funny “poor Bill” to a surprisingly powerful statement on the state and philosophy of a large part of medical education… wow. And thank you!

[travisvanalst]

I honestly love how the med students come to Bills aid. Bill is the gap between hard ass attendings who worked unnecessarily long hours and the new batch of interns and residents who want to change the narrative into a more balanced life. He has yet to figure it all out but the med students got his back.

[DavidHernandez-lzkx]

😂😂You literally re-enacted how my brain truly says feels every time my professor says “this is easy, just read everything…” ☠️

[antoniomromo]

The same applies to literally every job. I constantly have to explain this to people who complain about how easy it was to find work when they were a college graduate.

[anjelica]

This is so completely true. I was 12 when my mom started med school, and once she’d started, it was as if she didn’t exist anymore, Especially bc she had to commute an hour each way to school bc we couldn’t afford to live in the city. And then when residency came she moved out of state all together, I hardly ever heard from her, and when I did, she was Always upset/severely stressed. She used to work 120 a week, with call every 4th day, which was completely going over hour restrictions, but everyone was too scared to say anything, bc the one resident who did speak up, was viciously bullied by the program, and eventually was forced to quit all together. She’s been an attending for over 10 years now, and while things have improved for med students and residents, its still really intense, and there’s a reason that only certain people are cut out for this job. No way in hell am I doing it.
