The Ophthalmologist Goes to Therapy

[@sarahhaseena]

Jonathan is simultaneously the scariest and most comforting character all at once. Well done.

[@alona270]

That’s because he can do anything 🤣🤣

[@marslogics]

Everything everywhere all the time

@Sarah Haseena So true!

is there a real Jonathan? could he make a cameo?

[@me0101001000]

Jonathan: *single silent nod*

[@patrickmcswiggan9295]

The fact that he managed to film Jonathan picking up the ophthalmologist makes me think all these characters might actually be real

[@aurydoesstuffs]

He obviously used his own Jonathan for that scene

[@melaninmonroe007]

[@jamesburton1050]

He'll nod! 😉

[@pinkprincessinthecity1177]

Questions. Does the Psychiatrist speak Jonathan? Or will he need Emergency to come in to provide translation services ?

[@ConstantlyDamaged]

Jonathan has many therapy sessions a week. He sees the hospital's entire pharmacy department-because they deserve some peace of mind after the scripts they have to deal with.

Omg, the Psych closing the blinds on Jonathan and Jonathan looking on angrily is the best thing I've seen this week

[@anyquezada2990]

Was so funny

[@eunoia3926]

I hollered😂😂😂😂😂😂

[@wrathofainz]

Jonathan isn't angry, he's just disappointed.

[@coolestgyever531]

The best part is that he admits what we all know: so many professionals in this industry share their usernames and passwords with staff members for convenience. It's actually kinda scary.

[@Ariccio123]

Yes, its also an infosec **nightmare**

[@heidikaufmann7467]

Haha, SUCH a data security no-no.

[@Thuazabi]

That's only an easy and reliable method if your institution's cybersecurity policies are trash. I worked for a hospital that mandated two-factor authorization for basic services for all employees, and an additional but separate two-factor authorization for anything to do with prescriptions. The only thing they were missing was a compliance policy that would enforce a three-strikes policy for violations of their cybersecurity framework. Any institution that doesn't take similar bare-minimum precautions deserves every lawsuit and ransomware attack that comes their way. If your institution can't afford to change with the times, it shouldn't be in business.

[@saturnstorm85]

Could a Johnathan have their own login? Since they're supposed to do the documentation anyway?

[@SatumainenOlento]

@@saturnstorm85 Yes, that is actually how it must be if the systems works well. My mum handles medical data every day and she has to click into different programs and data places with her own passwords. And every time she clicks into patient history it leaves a note that she did visit the data. Because then there is clear trail who did see certain information and it can be traced back if something goes wrong. This is how it is done in Finland. I am sure how well this ably to everywhere. Probably, everybody has their own passwords, but visiting certain patient record might not leave electronical signature every time.

[@alaaalshalabi3850]

I just can't handle how loyal ,cute, reliable Jonathan is.

[@shovanabajracharya]

But can't help to see how toxic this is. Opthalmology being soooooooo entitled and narcissistic. And Jonathan being so robotically faithful and overworked. Jonathan is being called almost like Alexa.

[@superschmolz]

@@shovanabajracharya have you seen A Day in the Life of Jonathan?

[@fierydawn2635]

He's a Jonathan, of course he can bypass whatever obstacles are thrown his way. And we are thankful for that. Almost forgot to thank Jonathan, forgive me.

[@ahmedaref9865]

It impressive enough that he managed to slow him down

There's no point in asking "how?" anymore when it comes to Johnathan, because the answer will always be "because he's Johnathan."

You should show all the chaos that occurs when Jonathan is gone. Call it “Johnathan’s day off”

[@warriormaiden9829]

YES!!

[@Mikien2086]

Id love an episode of what happens to the hospital without johnathan

[@tuxieblue_onyxshadow_adahm201]

it should be prefaced with a video of admin kicking Johnathan out of the hospital and rejecting his badge for 24 hrs and security escorting him out occasionally.

[@heartache5742]

jonathan is always there

[@noodle3218]

a Jonathan "day off" is like Carl being promoted to "paid intern" at OWCA. it's purely symbolic

[@tykat12]

I laughed so hard at the blinds being closed on him, haha!

[@randomish4285]

[@OzeFlipper]

Jonathan’s face as the slats closed 🤣🤣🤣

[@opercatic]

As a former ER Jonathan, the Jonathan appreciation here always fills my heart with warmth and joy!

[@princesskaguya2000]

I half expected Johnathan to be peaking through a vent cover. This was one of the best yet!

[@noodle3218]

I didn't just half expect it-- I fully assumed we'd see Jonathan in the vent or at least dropping to the floor from it.

[@meapyboy12345]

Same

[@notagiraffe8228]

"Johnathan won't be coming in today" "But that's my emotional support scribe!"

[@pinkprincessinthecity1177]

At long last, we FINALLY see the Opthalmologist with Psychiatrist, for a therapy appointment! So happy to see Jonathan was able to make it to the appointment, too. Took a panic button call and some strategic maneuvers...but he was not going to let Opthalmologist down.

[@alexh9614]

I literally almost commented that the guy is an opthalmologist so it must be difficult to film both sides of the conversation before i realized

[@explorerist]

I don't know about you, but Ophthalmology saying "He's here" got me scared for Feelings Bro for a bit! Nobody locks out Jonathan!

[@ludmilamaiolini6811]

For a moment I thought Jonathan’s spirit had left his body to haunt the psychiatrist

[@charesepelham7682]

Whoa! Jonathon can look pretty intimidating! He was definitely coming for his ophthalmologist! And psychiatrist better not get in Jonathan’s way!

[@jinx7501]

The most hilarious thing in this whole video is that the therapist thought closing the blinds would stop Jonathan.

[@_the_]

Either Jonathan is being blackmailed, underwent brain washing or is otherwise dependent on the opthamologist, or he really loves him and his job

[@danapayne2654]

Well he recharges in a closet overnight so he could just be a robot with a very good AI.

[@fatimamahmoud4261]

One question, what magic does psychiatry use to keep away Jonathan? I know it was like for one minute, but that's such an achievement

[@Zinakhan2024]

Possibly hid all the bandage contact lenses so Jonathan had to go to the basement to find some back-ups. 🙆🏾‍♀️

[@nicolemascarenhas7973]

Ophthalmologist: *gets kidnapped* Jonathan: I dont know who you are. I don't know what you want. If you are looking looking ransom I can tell you I don't have any money. Skills I have acquired over a very long career. Skills that make me a nightmare for people like you. If you let my boss go now that will be the end of it. I will not look for you, I will not pursue you. But if you don't, I will look for you, I will find you. ( I doubt Jonathan will kill anyone. He won't have to to succeed) 😈

I’ve never seen a doctor with such a sense of humor at their own profession and it’s honestly so refreshing that it borders on the rarest trait of all…humility! Seriously tho these are hilarious thanks for making : )

[@beoweasel]

I'm starting to feel like Johnathan is some Lovecraftian entity that bends both time and space to his will.

[@mysterylovescompany2657]

Also, "How did you even get _in_ here?" "...I knew you'd come for me." has me doubling down on my belief that the Opthalmologist & Jonathan have an unbreakable bond, like Cap & Bucky (Opth is Bucky in this scenario; Opth is _always_ Bucky). And that loyalty will always triumph, in the end.

[@dbd73310]

I have 3 Jonathan's now and I showed them this and other clips of yours and they all thought it was hilarious and 100% true. I came back in the next day and they were all wearing "Johnathan" name tags officially lol. Thank you for putting a name and face to the most important people in the clinic who make medicine still bearable to practice in the face of EMR and insurance nightmares we face every day.

[@matsroepers4421]

I love how consistent your eyelines are. You made sure that Jonathan was looking just ever so slighty to the right when the therapist (who was looking to the left) closed the blinds. It's subtle, but that consistency and attention to detail is very nice to see!

[@MLeoDaalder]

I loved the perfect frame composition of jonathan disappearing behind the curtains XD

That moment when the ophthalmologist casually has a god/Demi-god as a loyal scribe

[@reginabahten4228]

Family medicine needs actual help, actual scribes (they end up paying for themselves in increased productivity)...which is what Dr. G. has mentioned when Family Medicine goes to therapy. I love Dr. G, but laughing at abuse is no substitute for ending abuse.

You made me laugh so loud as you demonstrates the exact case of a friend working as ophthalmologist with us plus he worked also in Britain for a while and if doctors speak with him he refers to those days in Britain and how nurses made for him all help and his own coffee you mentioned in this video

The only 2 that have regular office hours after 5pm? My Psychiatrist and my Opthalmologist lol. I used to have a pain management specialist who had appts till 6, but they moved out of state unfortunately. It sucks because 4-7 pm is like the one time nearly everyone is available. Day jobs are done by then, school is out, night jobs are just waking up, etc.
