Surgery belongs to them now

Thanks for watching! Please like and subscribe. I went to the office on a Sunday for this.

We just witnessed the wild birth of a trauma surgeon. How beautiful.

One might almost think the temptingly empty console had been left as bait for the unwary specialist…

[scottbandy]

As an ER nurse for almost twenty years…I sadly have seen too many promising young doctors trapped by the lure of an empty computer in the department. We nurses try to warn them..but we’re all kinda like the sad little blobs that tried to warn Ariel about Ursula.

we all know better than to use any available computers at the emergency department; it’s common knowledge that emergency staff have the ability to teleport anywhere within their domain. Escaping is futile.

Presenting ER doctors as cyclists is the funniest thing ever

I need a part two! The sequel, or even a prequel. What got surgery down there in the first place, what happens next, can he summon Jonathan to help him escape? Don’t leave us hanging on this 😩

Yes, it does happen something like this - even for anesthesia on occasion. Walk by the E.R. door at the exact wrong time and the E.R. doc might pull you into a trauma that just showed up needing to be intubated. So you intubate the patient and set up the ventilator with the respiratory therapist. You look around and the E.R. doc is nowhere to be seen and this fresh trauma is kind of your responsibility until that E.R. doc returns.

You have a flair for horror-comedy 😂😳 Your scary ED videos are among my favourites. The sharp editing and eerily empty but authentic location added to the creepiness. 10/10!

I want to be an emergency med doc once I finish medicine. After watching your videos, I realized I should start polishing my cycling skills

[miladhomayoun]

Im an ED doctor and I can’t believe how accurate your skits are 😂

What to do at the end of your shift:
1. Handover urgent patient jobs
2. RUN and don't look back

“You chart here...you WORK here”
I’ve seen this happen so many times (I’ve also been complicit). Never stick around ED unless you want people you’ve never met to request multiple favours for patients you’ve never seen or heard of. Doesn’t matter if you’ve been there for 10 minutes or 10 years.

I laugh every time I see the bike helmet cuz I know a ER NP that rides into work same time as I get there. I NEVER stay and document in the ER. Always examine my patient in the ER and get up to the ICU (home base) ASAP!

[StevieBaskin]

For those confused: Emergency medicine attracts personality types that love excitement, love attention, love pushing buttons/teasing, are charismatic instant "expert" crisis managers who hate red tape and filling out paperwork. They also have a peculiarly high tolerance for alcohol and can drink you under the table.

Former Peds ED Manager here. This brought me great joy and the evilest of laughter.

[fulltimeslackerii]

this sketch helped me realize just how big a deal it is to consult and how much risk they are assuming for deciding the fate of a patient based on a 2 minute phone call

[Xnophiliac]

the mixture of pediatric and emergency was terrifying...that rainbow unicorn helmet lol

[KVeren]

to build rapport: don't ask the surgeons about their families, FEED THEM. I know almost nothing about my surgical consultants' personal lives but I can list all their allergens, favorite cuisines, and top 3 favorite cookie flavors. After a full day in the OR with no bathroom break, no sitting down, no food, and no thank yous, they can come down to cookies/their first meal in 24 hours. Takes some effort but no one runs away from me anymore.

[zekkenhakai]

as a med student, "but we establish rapport" killed me🤣
