Ortho Helps Rural Medicine

The tractors are turning on us

Ortho bro just started mentally packing, house shopping, and composing resignation letters all at the same time.

Respect to Ortho for immediately recognising a cow leg based on an X-Ray

[charesepelham]

Oh. My. Gosh! I’m an anesthesiologist and I was rolling on the floor laughing! Ortho thinks he died and went to heaven!!! He may never leave!

[chrisperamunugama]

- just keep operating?
- no need to admit anyone because there's no hospital beds?
- someone else will look after them post-op?
- cefazolin for everyone?

I think ortho bro just came to his happy place

I enjoy the irony that Texaco Mike originally was a cheaper alternative for the insurance companies, but has grown to be one of the most competent providers in the Glaucomflecken universe.

If the insurance companies ever find out what he actual does, they'll probably drop their coverage.

I once had a lecture from an orthopedic surgeon who'd done residency in a rural area. His presentation included photos of kitchen utensil injuries, factory equipment injuries, and a horrific combine accident.

His nostalgia was *palpable.*

[RhombonianKnight]

Ortho Bro has never been so happy.

Also, I'm sure Texaco Mike had the triage center set-up because he'd been warning the community of the dangers of making their tractors too powerful, but they just wouldn't listen.

I was expecting this at the end:
Ortho: Is this Heaven?
Rural: No. Iowa.

"Ferment any new antibiotics" This might be my favorite episode yet!

[Arcturus]

Ortho 5min later: „Country roads, take me home
To the place I belong!“

My ortho once did so many MPFL and ACL reconstructions in one day that he tore his rotator cuff. He said it was the best day of his life. They're built different.

[Axqu]

Ortho being brilliant in one specific area is beautiful.

(He's crushing on Rural harder than those tractors crushed those bones)

[mkim]

Ortho will love it here, plenty of chickens and eggs you could ever get paid in

[PathomanTony]

Ortho gonna relocate his whole practice to T-Mike’s gas station CT/MRI observatory triage center😂

[intelxio]

Ortho looks like hes about to pass away from happiness

[TheWalterHWhite]

"I didn't say I wouldn't do it...." Dear God I spit out my coffee.

[dracorexion]

Welp, looks like the hospital just lost Ortho. He's never leaving rural now

[Khannesjo]

When he described the plate for fixing that radius fracture, I was totally expecting a "Just draw what you need and Texaco Mike will fabricate it from his scrap bin".
Also, no need to optimize risk factors, just do axillary plexus anaesthesia, and the farmer will probably happily be retracting with his other hand.

Ortho has found his happy place. Even willing to operate on a cow, he'll fit right in.

Ortho is happier than Family Medicine when he gets a day with Jonathan
