It's fascinating how universal these mannerisms are. This is literally all I heard from surgeons while assisting anesthesia last month. I had to put the bed exactly where they wanted it, which was always "a bit higher" or "a bit lower". I just never got it right in one go. They kept on talking about the administration and their cars and were rarely satisfied with the instruments they were handed as they always wanted "the other one". The electrocoagulation didn't work properly almost every day and it was the nurses that were responsible for finding out why. And don't even get me started on the drapes. One day they got a different kind of drapes, which they loved, anesthesia not so much, and then when they went back to the regular drapes, they kept on asking about these new drapes. I don't even live in the US and yet it's all the same here.

The man looks up from his book and asks: - are you an anesthesiologist? - Yes sir, I am an anesthetist, what is the problem? - Perfect, I'm a surgeon, could you direct the light correctly towards the book, I can't see well.

My favorite surgeons (as a medical student) were like this, but were very kind to the residents and students. Let us get involved and were patient teachers. They just lost their patience with administrators and sometimes with OR nursing and anesthesia. What it comes down to is- the OR is stressful, even simple procedures are life and death when you have to cut a patient who is knocked out and cant feel what you are doing. The have to be a little impatient to stand up for their patient, especially against administrators. At least for the ones I worked with, they were incredibly kind people, generous with their time for us, and generous with their time and care for patients.

Former certified surgical first assistant (CSFA) here. This is spot on for a “calm” surgeon. After 20 years as an FA in all specialties, including abdominal transplant, organ procurement and neurosurgery, I have heard it all and the line about calling HVAC to make it colder made me laugh out loud. I worked with a vascular surgeon a couple of years ago that we would have the room as cold as possible for the safety of the patients and he would still wear an ice pack vest and complain about it being too hot. Being rather warm-blooded myself, I had to judge the temperature by how many blankets and bear huggers anesthesia had for themselves and not on the patient! 3 blankets and 1 bear hugger meant that the room was just about right!

"Easy going" should not ever be used to describe a female LA surgeon, lol. Those women are bosses and work their asses off to get the respect they deserve, but they definitely develop some... Quirks... In the meantime 😂

[@AchiAhisar]

Oh my gosh this is hilarious!!!! I am actually waiting right now to see if I matched gen surg, Canadian match day is April 12 this year… Thanks for another great laugh!

[@geezer3037]

good luck!! hope you match!

Good Luck 😄‼️

Good luck!!!

Best of luck with the algorithm!!

[@multicammando]

You are a freaking genius good sir!!!!! Everything is so spot on!!!!!!

[@grumbles]

I had classmates whose surgery preceptor would scream at them all day, call them idiots, would quiz them on stuff until they didn't know something and then call them stupid, he'd literally make them cry, and some actually had to start seeing a therapist because of him. I lucked out, mine was super nice and laid back, very supportive, never put me on the spot, would ask pretty easy questions and if I didn't know something he'd be like "That's okay, here let me show you, see these are the inferior epigastric vessels, and if it's medial to it like this, it's a direct hernia..."

[@dr.floridamanphd]

It’s good to see that even surgeons have their “nice guys.”

[@JohnDoe-un3xm]

this is so accurate. The surgeon I enjoyed working with the most scrubbed out mid surgery because the handle for one of his retractors was the wrong color. every medical student loved him. super laid back with the trainees.

[@alyonez10]

I really appreciate you, your videos always make me feel better. Needed a laugh today Dr!!!!

[@taylormedeiros2320]

“Hand me that instrument I like”. TOO accurate 😂😂😂

[@icecreamheadache]

PACU nurse: Are you admitting them postop or discharging home? Surgeon: Admitting them, that's why the order says "outpatient in a bed." RN: OK, so you want observation? MD: No, observation is for inpatient. RN: So they'll be inpatient? MD: No, inpatient is for ICU. RN: So no ICU? MD: Of course not, they're outpatient...staying overnight.

[@ptbro3334]

This is such a headache

[@jonnyq2323]

Not really. Outpatient in a bed, observation, or inpatient. Three options really.

[@calvindreesman4951]

Ah. Outpatient extended, oh wait we actually don't have enough nurses and y'know they may not actually be good enough to walk so lets extend that outpatient by a few days

[@Lunatunanoodle]

I’ve had 14 surgeries. I very much appreciate my PACU nurses.

[@ClaytonNeuner]

I work as a tech in a pre and post and this is the straight cold truth 😂

[@maryj7423]

Therapy must be working, he's doing so well!

[@tylerhikara2905]

I still remember the look of disappointment from a Surgeon during my last year of medical school after i held the retractor wrong for 5 times in a row 🤣 He got so tired of correcting me that he just told me not to move at all 🤣

[@gamemeister27]

I expected a bit at the end where everyone explained to the med student that this really was the easy-going surgeon!

[@stuntcellist3338]

These are always the best comments! Going through medical diagnosis Hell at the moment and love seeing the other side of the coin. I always knew hospitals were dangerous, but now I know why! 😂

[@Sun_and_Sea_]

😂 I worked for an OBGYN surgeon once and that stint of being her MA was one of the most masochistic things I’ve ever done to myself. ✅

[@maryellendeangelo2712]

I was a PACU nurse and always loved the back and forth between surgery and anesthesia.

[@vanessajaz5029]

The why isn’t this working part is so true. Then they send somebody that doesn’t know how to fix it lol

[@MargaretHall-y6o]

I once had a very wise doctor tell me if a doctor yells at you, it’s because he doesn’t know what he is doing at that moment. That helped me not to be reactive and to focus on my responsibilities.

[@superjello3979]

It's funny to watch this as a veterinary nurse in general practice. None of my veterinarians are specialized, but surgery seems to bring out this level of neuroticism in ALL of them. Adjust the power on the CO2 laser this, I need more light that; this is the worst shave job I've ever seen this, why isn't my next surgery on the table already that. (Except they have table lift pedals, so I don't have to deal with that.) It's really interesting how some parts of medicine are truly universal, no matter what species your patients are.

[@SmileToday-CryTomorrow]

Years ago my sister started her nursing career in the OR at a teaching hospital. They put the newbie nurses in the OR with the most gentlest surgeons the hospital had. A few years later, I was a patient to one of the doctors they assigned her in the beginning of her career. Oh yes. The surgeon was like a teddy bear not only to the staff, but to his patients too.

[@MultiPerson555]

"You'll understand when you start paying taxes" LOOOOL 🤣🤣

[@laurennichole161]

I’m a vet student and even in veterinary medicine these mannerisms and personalities by speciality are universal. We had a slow moment in internal medicine and played some of these for our faculty and head clinicians and they were dying 😅 Makes you wonder if the person chooses the specialty and adapts or their personality draws them into it!

[@jakeizlove]

“You’ll understand once you start paying taxes”. 😂

[@vanntooot]

I can't believe how accurate this is, word-for-word.

[@ebubechiibegbula5968]

Oh I love that part about how he modestly brags about owning a BMW and a Porsche..... Loooooool surgeons sha...greetings from Anaesthesia....

I have surgery scheduled for next week and I would give anything to secretly film the conversations going on while I'm out haha

[@juneledell6983]

would appreciate seeing more interactions with the Nurse and Dr skits!!!

So now I wonder how Dr. Glaucomflecken is during his surgeries in real life.

Every day, every darn nightshift. You summed it perfectly. (From Anesthesia)

I cannot explain my joy at seeing you wear Milwaukee safety glasses :))

[@hahardridge]

I love when a surgeon just makes up his own name for an instrument

[@stevendoyel]

I’m worried that if I say this was way too accurate somehow my general surgeon preceptors will know and give me a10 minute lecture on how wrong I am

[@jerryc3050]

Oops, the internet lasts forever.😛

[@jonathanfillmore]

I'm a surgeon, and this is so right! If feel targeted, but I also feel seen.

[@omaimaf9963]

This is the most accurate video you ever posted, I was rolling my eyes at every sentence because I heard them all at my or.

[@Ashley-rn5hp]

those darn administrators

[@mar10ssj1]

If the wind blows the wrong way, whose fault is it? That's right, it's the Hospital Administrators.

[@imcrazyforwar]

doing my clinicals and this exactly the "easy going doctor". sad thing, he IS nicer to us as students compared to some of the other doctors. some doctors will throw us out the moment they find out we are a student

[@andreanaert7242]

This is pretty much spot on.

[@AnOriginalYouTuber]

I work in the medical industry and these videos are therapy.

[@ssfheather6629]

Even though I’m not a doctor I still find these hilarious…I’m sure if I was a doctor and got the “inside joke” they would be even better, but still funny AF….and sad when it comes to insurance. Like I pay thousands of dollars for insurance and they happily take my money and then the second I need to go to the doctor they find every excuse NOT to cover me, insurance companies are the devil!

[@seeyouchump]

Also surgeons or at least general surgeons have this weird habit to always avoid talking about actual surgery and instead prefer asking questions about anything else like biochemistry, physiology, histology etc. Not sure if that's just a way to flex their general knowledge as to say "we're not just butchers or monkeys with tools" or not. lol

[@paulshuttleworth6261]

Must admit, I like to flex a bit of adrenal physiology in the face of the gasmen.

[@suiteums]

I'm in training to be a gaslady and have learned pimping is only from my staff but the surgeons too! :(

[@BashaerB-h2c]

It seems like a relaxation method to deviate from the original topic that is causing stress.

As an ex Veterinary Nurse this rings so true for us as well.

[@PowerPerPound]

It's funny because he really is easy going compared to the others.

[@JennyLouRN]

As a hospital RN, we experience the same frustrations. Except it is our responsibility to solve or live with the problems, as we can’t ask anyone else!!

[@himanshusingh-in9hl]

This so accurate , as a surgeon I approve this.

[@cancerino666]

"Of course I care about social issues" "Nah, drove in the BMW today, something was wrong with the Porsche"

[@Curtistopsidae]

I totally thought the "I care about social issues" line was a lead-in to something like, "I know this is Ms... uh" *looks around for white board with pt name*. The taxes line was even better

[@jinisong928]

This is exactly the cardiovascular surgeon I shadowed during my surgery rotation! I only met him a few and I like him. But then the rest of hospital talks crabs about him all the time I didn’t seem to get it.
