It's compilation Thursday, therapy edition.
00:01 The Radiologist Goes to Therapy - This was the first therapy session and it was a big hit when I posted it over a year ago. This was also the debut of the radiologist's sunglasses, which are actually the glasses we give to patients after they have cataract surgery. For all of my videos, I try to open with my second best joke and close with my best joke. This has one of my favorite closing jokes/plot twists. Nobody was expecting the double sunglasses. Happy cortical bone season everybody.
00:58 The Neurosurgeon Goes to Therapy - I know all the characters are played by me and this is a weird thing to say, but I think the neurosurgeon and the psychiatrist have great chemistry. They could star together in a buddy comedy. I had a hard time writing for the neurosurgeon because I know very little about that specialty. I didn't meet my first neurosurgeon until about 3 months ago. In this video, I leaned into the neurosurgeon's poor work life balance. I think jokes about neurosurgeons not seeing their families is a little played out, but I didn't have much else to go on, so I tried to make it fresh by using the JC Penny stock photo gag. I think it went over pretty well. I didn't get any angry emails from neurosurgeons. They were probably busy operating.
03:30 The Med Student Goes to Therapy - One of the more heartbreaking things in medicine is when a student works their ass off for 3.5 years and doesn't match into a residency program. In 2021, I made a match day video congratulating all the students who matched. After I posted it, I heard from a good number of students who didn't match. They were distraught and looking for advice/comfort/support. I made this video for them and plan on sharing it every year from now on. Medicine can be a cruel. We need to support each other.
