Trust me. Anesthesia people don’t have names. It doesn’t matter whether you’re a CRNA, an AA, or an MD anesthesiologist. It doesn’t matter that the nurses know your actual name very well. Every single time I walk in to see a patient and the nurse is there, the nurse will say, “Anesthesia will talk to you now.” Soooo I have decided that from now on, every time any nurse (or surgeon!) calls me “Anesthesia,” I will walk in and say, “Hi, my name is Dr. Anesthesia. I see that you have already talked to Nursing. Has Surgery seen you yet?” 😜🤣
My lab’s right under the pediatric wing. I keep a box of nice chocolates for the nurses who have to walk the pedi blood culture bottles down. Pediatrics is a emotionally high stakes discipline. They’re either having a great time or the worst day imaginable. So, chocolate and a couple minutes in a dark, quiet room.
@@Gravalpea Peds palliative and geriatrics palliative folks are angels in human form, I swear to god. My classmate who's planning on the former is probably the biggest ray of sunshine you'll find - right up until individuals or institutions are being ableist or bigoted in other ways, at which point she goes full "momma bear".
For those who may be confused as to why surgery is so pressed about his patients not farting, it's because they need to check for postoperative ileus, which is when the intestinal walls basically stop working. Postoperative ileus is usually associated with abdominal surgery but can occur after other kinds of surgeries as well. It generally fixes itself after 2-3 days, but more severe forms can last longer. Making sure the patient farts or poops are ways to check if the patient is okay. Edit: Added more information and fixed some grammar. Edit 2: Today I learned that editing a comment removes a creator's heart on that comment... which now that I think about it is probably a good thing.
@@zUJ7EjVD Tough luck kid, is the only way we know whether your instetine are good & functioning or are about to become necrotic forcing us to have to remove it and possibly leaving you with a poop bag coming out your abdomen temp or permanently. Thank the heavens when you do finally poop after surgery.
@@aeri_taylors-version Aha, so there is! I've watched everything on this channel but I must have temporarily forgotten that one until you caused me to search it up again just now -- even though I quote "{gasp!} Tabitha is an OMAX LED COMPOUND microscope. Show some respect!" regularly XD Thanks for the reminder!
Actually had a cup of hot chocolate in my office a couple of evenings ago - no marshmallows as I am trying to cut back on sugar. I am a tissue pathologist 😅 My microscope doesn't have a name, but I call her (and my car) darling.
@evanstedman7405 As a lab tech I can confirm we do have names for some of our equipment….however sometimes the names we call them when we’re stressed and/or they’re not working right can be a bit rough😬🤣🤣🤣
I'm dead. This made me actually laugh out loud. As a pathologist who does frozens (often) this is so accurate hahaha. Almost died with "Geraldine the ice queen". Bravo!
As someone who has requested multiple times to be adopted by every pathologist I've met, I can 100% confirm this is true. They're just so darn comforting.
I know this is like jokey jokes and kinda simplified, but I wonder why that is? Like I've met some Drs who have just terrible bedside manner, so wonder what's different in the education or what?
@@kyrab7914I am a pathology resident, one year from attending. There are many reasons for this, minimal call, great hours, and most importantly, we don't directly deal with patients!

The acting in this was so top tier! The way you perfectly embodied a stressed, on-call surgeon who is just absolutely done and yet with complete conviction also nailed the indomitable optimism of pathology right alongside surgery. A+
The level of Tabitha's emoting! First, she looks so happily content snuggled up having a book read to her. Then, that multi- layered suspicious glare of disappointment at the surgeon. Finally, a "What the...? Oh, maybe join us," at the anesthesiologist.
Actually a lot of other specialties enjoy spending time at the pathology department. But we pathologists don't like it when it takes too much time from our precious Tabithas. But we do like some new blood. Recruiting pathology residents is a top priority
As a medical lab tech, I totalllllly appreciate the people that are patient- facing. I'm not in path, but I am in micro and everytime I have to make a call, I remind the nurse of pharmacy or whoever they are that they are awesome! I think we are the mental health support our colleagues need ❤
Of course he knows about Tabitha, she's a lady that always holds conversation and will never complain. Anesthesia, on the other hand, is way too human for surgeon. Surgeon can (and will) blame Anesthesia, but couls never blame Tabitha. Thus, Tabitha is his match. Respectable enough to be worthy of the surgeon knowing her name.
Love the introduction of Geraldine! In my (metallurgy) lab, we had an arc melter that was loving named Zeus. ⚡️ (Arc melters essentially create bolts of lightning to melt metal)
As a pathologist on cyro call today maybe also tonight at my timezone, yelling at surgeon all the time for improper and unreasonable requests and because of my chronic psycological problems, working in an uninspring environment, this make me giggle and crying in the same time.
The pathologist in our college hates one of the surgeons. Hes like "what difficult job does he do? He's just hacking tissues while we have so much intricacies in our field"
Oh man, I remember my first on call ER surgery. A testicular rupture. I'll always remember the inside, and the insides, of that scrotum. 😂 (It's been over 25 years, I got him put back together enough for a later visit to specialists that made sure everything was where it needed to be and functional, so we can laugh.) I would have loved a hot cup of cocoa and a break that day.
@@starryseiun9146 I'm going to assume trauma. Not only was it a couple decades ago, anesthesia had already been administered by the time I finally got there and prepped, so it wasn't like I could ask the patient. It was my first (mainly) solo shift, so a lot is a blur, I just knew we needed to get what was outside sorted and back inside, and he needed specialist follow up afterwards. The surgery stuck not only because it was my first, but being my first surgery, when it had made it through the water cooler talk, everyone was joking that I personally had just found someone and literally "busted his balls" so I had someone to operate on. That's the kind of stuff I remember from 25 plus years ago, that and everyone calling me "ball buster" instead of my name. 🤣 But I honestly don't remember, and don't even remember asking, what caused it other then trauma. I was just on nerves and adrenaline at that point.
Oh lordy. I've been a subscriber and fan of Dr. G for some time. Somehow this episode drove home the beauty of his eyes and lashes. Each character so distinctive, but the gorgeous eyes...and terminology...reaching my soul.
Wow, we get to experience General Surgery's first time to act human. Makes me weepy. Gas Bro, you gotta go extra Care Bear to get him to learn your name. See all the hustle Slide Bro had to do? 😂
that last bit 😂 Also, my mom had to see an ophthalmologist today for a floater in her eye. From your depictions both professional and comedic, I wasn’t concerned. She said afterwards they were extremely friendly. Biggest respect to you eye bros. I’ve worn glasses since 1st grade.
@@waelfadlallah8939 I like our processor, Squidward. He goes down every so often, and it’s really funny to complain to the lab manager that “Squidward decided that he didn’t have enough Pen Fix and refused to process the tissue despite the container being full. Should we look into that?”
@@krib6776 that's funny 😄 we actually when we encounter tissue processor malfunction, we roll up our sleeves and bring back the 30 year old carousel for temporary replacement!
You are just TOO good at developing and bringing out the difference personalities of each character... Animate and Inanimate! I am extremely pround of Tabitha- She is getting the recognition & respect that she deserves as a highly Accomplished Professional Female Microscope in such a male dominated field. Tabitha, you are a Pioneer!
Thank you for the wholesome pathology content. I enjoyed this so much. The last sentence killed me though. But luckily i know where my body will end up : )
This made my day. One of my favorite things to do is cut frozens. 💕 Well except for the time I cut my thumb because I forgot to lock the wheel and place the blade protector on. Never made that mistake again.
Pathologists seem to be lonely---imagine, their clinic day is when they are at the autopsy lab! I've been down their realm to discuss some biopsy findings as a Ped ID specialist. We were invited to take off our masks if we had our SARS-CoV-2 vaccines (that was a couple of years ago) and to sit down to observe the slides under the microscope and discuss the findings. Very courteous at all times, quite delightful.
Could you please take a poll to check how many of us who follow you (myself included) aren’t in the medical field of any sort? I LOVE your content and don’t understand any medical thing you say but it still cracks me up 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
This is the funniest one yet! Laughed out loud all the way through. Married to a heart surgeon, btw, I don’t see them in these very often. What’s up with that? My husband says it’s because you’re afraid of them😂
The fact that anesthesia is offended that he knows the microscopes name but in knowing he knows the microscopes name he proves he also must know the microscopes name
I for one am very proud of surgery successfully removing that chip off of his shoulder and loosening up. Always good to see pathology, as well. Oh and umm…Tabitha too
Hands down, pathologists make the kindest, funniest, most caring professors. I remember during one parasitology lab, the pathologist just came and sat down with our lab group and started sharing stories about his childhood because he was bored. 😂
Today was my last day of my GI pathology fellowship and this is a perfect gift, a glaucomflecken original featuring path!! also i would looove to meet geraldine. also can confirm, we always had a box of swiss miss's ready on hand.
I think this is one of my favorites! I love that all three of them had cocoa and marshmallows! So cute! I laughed out loud at poor anesthesia's question. 🤣🤣🤣
