Ortho remembers that it takes 700C (1300F) to burn bone. That is a very high temperature for an open flame. The bones are fine, ortho's not worried. If anything, it makes the bones easier since it removes all the internal medecine stuff the bones are saddled with.

Caution: Follow smokers who remain at or are heading to street level only. The roof and underground parking garage are nice places to smoke, but less so to catch fire.
When my obnoxiously long abdominal surgery had to stop temporarily my general surgeon stuck my guts back in then closed me up with saran wrap and tape! 🤣 I'm guessing saran wrap, tape, and gtfo would be "R" in this scenario?
@@rambo8863 nope lol though he did panic a bit and gently push me back down by my shoulders when I tried to sit up and sign the consent to remove some intestine! It didn't quite click that I was plastic wrapped together 😅 my surgeon was super chill and that was the only time I saw his eyes go wide
Just the other day I held traction for an orthopedic surgery fellow as he splinted my patient’s leg. After we left the room he said “thanks man”. I just said “no problem Ortho Bro” and he busted out laughing.
“The fire is in OR 3” “These rooms are designed to contain the fire to one room” Boom. No problem. There is a fire in the room designed to contain fire.
@@gwynwheeler1160 Would depend on a lot of factors such as what's fueling the fire and how easily it can be slowed with nearby extinguishers or other things nearby.
"There's a fire you need yo get out!" The patients ribs are split apart, I'm 35ccs of bloodloss in, and Anesthesia is halfway through their sodoku. Nobody's moving
We had an OR fire once. Two tables were running at the time ( surgery and ENT) and one was just over( OBGY). All procedures were left at whatever stage they were in, directly skin was quickly closed for transit and they were rushed to another OT complex in the hospital. High drama situation with smoke everywhere but no patient was abandoned or harmed. One of my surgery colleagues had to run back in to evacuate the newborn from the OBGY table, who got left behind in the chaos as his mother was shifted out. The fire remained contained to the one OR where it started and was controlled in half an hour with no lives lost.
The baby was not included in the headcount when they entered the OR, that’s why they didn’t realise it as the headcount was correct at the meeting point
I don't know if we have had a fire safety course at Meijer ( grocery & department store), but they do make us take " active shooter, which extinguishers to use on which fires, compactor &bailer safety" and if you are in the food clerk spot: how to safely handle foods, storing them, workspace cleaning "
As one who took modules for these types of things, I tried to memorize them, but there were too many. And, sometimes, I would just try to get the right answer.
I used to print out read and highlight my blackboard education, but my manager kept getting on my ass about how long they would take me but wouldn't let me come in on my day off to do them. So now I would fit right in with these characters.
I work at a school and have been incrementally doing my training. Every time I mention it to coworkers they sheepishly say they haven't started it yet. 🤦 GUYS. At least do the Bloodborn Pathogens, Lockdown Procedures, Abuse, and Bullying/Harassment ones! Geeze, Louise! *Shakes them*
It’s because we have to do like 30 of them, half of which aren’t relevant to our role, and given no time to do them in, you’re just expected to “squeeze it in”. And then they wonder why you havent absorbed a single thing
I work in the lab, it's so hilarious watching nobody leave the station even though the building is literally on fire. Lab never stops, we've definitely had an analyzer start smoking but I'll be damned if we didn't get as many samples through it as we could before it had to go down
SAME! Also, we had a pipe burst and part of the ceiling fell in. We called EVS for a giant trash bin and covered the computers with biohazard bags, but those doctors need their STAT troponins and fuck if we weren't gonna get it to them 🧪
I work in retail, it's somewhere between "as hilarious" and "significantly less hilarious" that nobody cares if the alarm is going off because nobody called "Department 100!" over the intercom. Doubly so because the shoppers care even less.
@@TerLoki yes! We have people trying to leave thru the closed garden section ( also gated, and locked), then are pissed because the door alarms went off. Mostly it's a thief but on occasion it's an irritated customer who wants to avoid walking back to the front of the store to go out.
@@MBMCincy63 I had to go to traffic court one time. It was extremely crowded and because of this I accidentally leaned up against the wall and set off the door alarm for the emergency exit! ALL of a sudden it brought the Baliffs on THAT floor and other Security people just running over to me.. SOOOOOO Embarrassing! False alarm! Lucky for me they didn't get mad because they saw how MANY people there were just standing around! Totally unintentional! Anyway.... MORE excitement than I wanted for THAT morning 🌄🌅🌄!
You can be lying bleeding on broken glass on a smoking analyzer.... And they'll just quadruple the specimens, & throw them on top of you. WHILE THE PHONE RINGS. 🙃
In my first nursing job, we had to do these e-learning modules. I got bored right away and was blowing up and shrinking the font size just to pass the time. Turns out all the controls that allowed you to skip to the last slide were visible if you zoomed out all the way so I printed out all my certificates after maybe 5 minutes. Charge nurse goes "hey that was supposed to take you all night....can I log in and let you skip me to the end too??"
As a Firefighter I would probably be more surprised if they actually stopped surgery (unless it was their OR on fire) than if we put out the fire in OR3 and found them next door in OR2 still operating...
I work in the basement lab. We’ve learned to tune out the fire alarms. They distract from the centrifuges, tracks, and freezer alerts. Heat goes up anyway, right?
@@Laecy lmfao, having worked in a hospital (I was just a screener, front desk sorta guy, to be fair) fire alarms are a PITA. We had to keep everyone in the lobby until the alarm was cleared, and then deal with everyone at once. Not a fun time.
@@anna-fleurfarnsworth104 Dunno about Julia Appleton but here it was a dumbass smoking next to the oxygen outlet while it was running and blew the whole room up. He survived somehow. Reasoning: He needed to smoke but he wasn't allowed to get up and go outside because of his surgery that morning. Whole ward had to be evacuated. Another time some visitor smuggled in a small gas barbeque and burnt one wall down and also the bed. Idk why. Just order food wtf
@@anna-fleurfarnsworth104 computer caught fire for one...big flames snd oxygen running on 4 ventilated patients and the second was a toaster that caught fire but the nearest room was really busy with a youmgg unstable trauma. Nobody noticed until the adjacent rooms smelled smoke. Trauma team never saw the firefighters in the next room but the young man survived.
@@sapphireblue4031 a whole gas barbecue????? indoors????? in a hospital????????? I mean the lack of common sense fire safety in these peoples' irresponsible actions is one thing but oh my god the amount of stupidity here is still kind of mind-blowing?! I'm glad everyone survived, thanks for sharing your stories!
Yessss, Jonathan’s origin story. Love it. But how did he then end up with Ophthalmology? Ortho is so much stronger and Emergency Medicine so much faster. This is the real mystery.
Once at my work a coffee maker caught fire and actual fire-men came by and it was the most exciting day in radiology Meanwhile I stayed in the reading room and hoped it was a drill
I definitely took fire safety modules, definitely less than 6 months ago, and definitely didnt remember any of this 😔 its ok though, i remember PASS, so when i inevitably get trapped in a room because i couldnt remember safety protocols i have a chance of putting it out 🙃
I once won a small pocket sized tape measure for knowing what one of the letters in RACE stood for. The tape measure has been surprisingly helpful over the years. Didn't remember what any of the letters stood for though.
I got to push the button on a detonator and blow a 2 liter bottle of soda once for remembering a letter in an acronym that I've long since forgotten lol! It was suspicious package/bomb threat training that was put on by the local bomb team. That was a VERY exciting day.
I work in environmental engineering, not a hospital, but can confirm it's like this there too. As the safety officer, I remain in flustered awe how such smart people can't figure out 'deafening alarm' and 'evacuation orders' means 'proceed to muster point', not 'rally to the coffee machine for a to-go cup, conversation, and bathroom break'.
We had to “memorise” these for jcaho (THERE’S a topic you need to do!) and everyone forgot the second they left. My favourite part was we can’t hang pieces of paper on the wall because it’s a fire hazard, but we can do so if it’s on a cork board or in a plastic sleeve, because suddenly it magically becomes fireproof I guess
So there’s a defined percentage of how much flammable material can be present on a wall, depending on the type of occupancy (and the wall material I believe). The cork board is already taking up some of that percentage, so that’s why you hang it there. The plastic sleeve, that doesn’t sound right to me, probably shouldn’t have been doing that. Why is this a rule? All walls have a fire rating. Usually 30, 60, or 120 minutes, meaning we don’t expect the wall to completely burn up for that amount of time. Putting combustibles on a wall decreases the duration of time until the wall loses structural integrity, and that’s why there’s a limit on how much you can put on them. Remember, fire codes are written in blood. Usually the only reason a particular one exists is because people died when it didn’t.
@@BrianParente We were genuinely curious as to the ins and outs of this, so thanks for taking the time to explain. :) It’s always easier to follow a rule that you understand rather than one that seems like rule for rule’s sake
Worked in North Shore back WAY back in the 1980s. Had some workers doing checks to see that we did/didn't have asbestos (we didnt have any).. BUT they disconnected the fire-alarm on most of the floor with the ORs a month before this happened. Was running blood sample to get blood-gas from sample taken IN the OR.. went from hearing NO alarms in OR to hearing LOADS of alarms to the lab (where, OBVIOUSLY, they'd evacuated). Ran back to let the room know : BTW, I'm not scrubbing back in cause there's an alarm and I'm already in trouble for coming back for you all. Got written up for going back to the OR. Got award from hospital for going back too.
Out there, somewhere, is an enterprising med student who is doing the RACE modules for all the surgeons and, with all the money they make from doing it, almost pay off half of a percent of their student loans!
@@eneveasi Perhaps, but it'd still be nice if our doctors-to-be didn't have to worry about earning pay before they become doctors. Hell, it'd be good if they didn't have to worry about it after, too.
Actually the ones I have talked to lately seem to be using all their spare cash for luxuries like food. (And a big increase in resident consumption of saltine crackers and apple juice🙁)
@@ConstantlyDamaged I mean.. obviously that's ideal ahaha but that's not how it is so Im just saying paying off that much of med school is still appreciable - cuz that shit is PRICEY to the point of being indentured slavery almost ahahahah
Okay, true story- fire alarm is going off-not a drill- and I’m trying to get the Chief of Ortho to leave. “We have to go” “But I have charts to finish”. I proceed to clear out the rest of the rooms, I’m looking outside- “Where is Junglas”!? I go back into the office and find him tucked away hidden in a corner charting. 🙄
I don’t blame him. Hospital admin and legal will rip you a new one for not charting properly. Then insurance doesn’t cover it. You might as well be dead from the malpractice you’d have to pay.
There was a fire on the floor right above our lab when I was doing my clinical rotations and we all just kept doing what we were doing while sticking our heads up like meerkats to see if anyone was leaving or if management would tell us to leave. Management did walk through and said yes the fire is real, follow us out. Everyone just moseyed on over to the exit.
That’s what happened when the fire alarm went off at a summer camp I was at. The kids knew the drill from school, we just shepherded them out the door, told our supervisors, and waited for the fire trucks (which never came or they went to the back of the building and we never saw them). We had an impromptu demonstration of Diet Coke and mentos. Then a disheveled homeless man came up and told the kids not to do drugs. We spent an hour outside for it to be a false alarm.
The meerkats thing is reallll lmao in xray we’re not used to alarms so whenever one goes off we just stand there looking around like “what is that? Wheres it coming from? does anybody know what’s happening???”
See, that's the problem with having surprise fire drills. Instead of assuming every fire alarm is real & reacting appropriately, everyone assumes the alarm is false & decides it's not worth moving
Anesthesia here. His method for taking required on line modules is quite standard. However, my fire safety module should go quickly this year. I bet you could make a nice side hustle by sneaking modules into your videos.
Seriously, if modules were snuck into these kind of videos people might actually do them (instead of simply paying premeds and med students to do it for them).
“You can stop operating, or you can *burn* to death.” NGL, I’d probably be right where Ortho was. Tough decision. Also, it does depend on how critically important the completion of the surgery is.
This was a PHENOMENALLY executed sketch. So much dialogue and so many cuts and the result is so SHARP and hilarious. That's hard work!! Great job, I was rolling.
This was more effective fire safety training than our halfhearted drills and computer modules. I might actually remember what C means now. The others I'm not so sure about.
I remember we had an earthquake during a kidney transplant. They just got the kidney out of the donor when the quake hit. Anesthesia wanted to evacuate everyone then and there.
At one of the hospitals I worked at, active shooter policy for OR staff was to abandon the patient and hope for the best. I mean, no one crazy enough to shoot up a hospital would put a bullet in a defenseless, sedated, intubated patient, right? Right?!?!?
I’m a gas bro and I confirm that many of our gases do support combustion. That’s why fire safety modules are so important. Even our best preventive measures fail at some point. Thank you for this educational video 😊
Ortho is so relatable. Our university used to hold these fire drills and one time it happened during an exam and our prof just told us to sit down and do the test
I don't think I ever saw people actually respond to fire alarms when I worked in the hospital. I'm sure people on the floors did things, but in the ER everyone was basically like "we'll move when we see smoke."
As kitchen staff we just made sure the doors closed properly when they demagnetized and kept working. Technically, we were supposed to return to the kitchen in the even of a fire in another part of the hospital, but we didn't do that either. So many fire alarms all the time...you just tune them out.
This had me at the look Ortho gave at the "you can either stop operating or burn to death" Dr. G did great at the look of sincere contimplation like as though it's actually the hardest choice to make
I'm a teacher. The retaking the test until you get the answers right is a total mood. We have our own training modules to get through every year too and they're almost always the same.
Hilarious!!! And so true!!! No one remembers that crap and if you just keep taking the test eventually you’ll get it right. Or you have awesome coworkers who leave the answers to the test on the desk for everyone else to use 👏🏽🤣👍🏽
I once trained as a "Pink Lady" volunteer at a N. California community hospital. They took all the fire extinguishers that had timed out and saved them for an actual practice event (imaginary flame in a corner). All had the chance to pull the pin and spray, it was fun. They made learning fun. Laughing Orchestrates Learning. Wonder if some surgeon brain will use THAT model and hopefully come up with an acronym..... ; P
Remember! P.A.S.S. ….Pull, Aim, Squeeze, Sweep….to work the extinguisher…we just did our modules at my hospital and that was another one they wanted us to remember….like the medical field doesn’t have enough acronyms to remember…

My favorite part of our fire safety training was aiming a fake extinguisher at a fake fire on a big TV screen. “No, you have to aim at the base of the fire, not the flames!” 😂
"That's one loud and annoying alarm" "Yeah, I wonder where the fire is" "Idk, not here, so not my problem" "Oh, apparently it's in the room next to ours" "Ah, so definitely not here, got it"
We had a fire in our department a couple of years ago. One of our professors refused to leave because he was writing. I has to push him through the fire escape-window. Too bad it was on the ground floor.
Reminds me of one of my ICU rotations. Suddenly something starts beeping. We turn around and find that it's the fire alarm control panel... which is acknowledged without any consequence being taken. Now since this had been one of the most boring rotations I'd ever been on, I had had the time to read the fire evacuation plans. So while just about everyone around me either ignored the alarm entirely or just looked very worried, I started making notes how many people we had on ventilators, I started asking whether the ventilators on the ward needed grid power or could run on battery at least for a few minutes until we got to another part of the building. Eventually I had motivated people to start triaging patients on whether they needed a proper transport ventilator or whether an ambu bag would do for the transfer. Fortunately it was just some dust from construction works in an adjacent area that had triggered a smoke detector.
This is one of the funniest skits on the channel. Literally laughing. Anesthesia's nonchalant tone, the zoom ins, Ortho's comeback about the med student remembering the protocol...all excellent.
Our fire safety acronym is REACT so I was a bit confused haha R - remove persons from immediate danger if possible E - ensure door(s) are closed to confine fire and smoke A - activate fire alarm C - call the fire dept T - try to extinguish fire or evacuate
@@trailrider7046 After you’ve reviewed it every year it comes naturally. Plus we all have it on our ID badges with the CODE colours. (Never been in actual situation where I’ve had to use it so hopefully it truly is ingrained by now after 10 years.)
One of my wife's coworkers was have some kind of back surgery when they got hit by a huge earthquake in Alaska. Huge enough that parts of the building were cracking. They had just started, so they had to sew the guy back up and cart him outside ASAP. Which begs the question, what's the triage for amore sensitive surgery if your in the middle of something important? And how you make surgical theater's in earthquake prone areas?
We have A.D.D. in the instance of an armed threat (which stands for Avoid, Deny, Defend). It took me two years to be able to remember it. Cherry on top? We had an armed person active through our facility and we didn't hear any alarms, no one spoke over the intercom to give us any color warnings, and absolutely no one followed the A.D.D. protocol. Why? We didn't have security, the people that noticed the armed person just booked it, a good portion of the people didn't know what was going on and found out (and evacuated) because of text messages through coworkers, and by the time most of us had evacuated the authorities hadn't arrived yet. No one was injured, greatly in part because they sat down after destroying what they wanted, but yeah if people didn't pay attention to those so-called "helpful" acronyms, it's definitely not happening now lolol
@@kaideng2571 Hahaha no worries, our means the same thing just in a fancy way that (regardless) no one remembers. Avoid - Pay attention to your surroundings to prevent or act upon a situation. Avoid conflict/injury Deny - Hide and barricade yourselves. Deny entry (of the assailant). Defend - Use whatever that can be used as weapon to defend yourself (keyboard, probably 10+hr shift stinky shoe, probably overpowering perfume, chemicals). Defend yourself.
This is making me think of the time the fire alarm got pulled at my clinic so we all evacuate. FD clears us and we come back in and I’m just getting the patients settled back in the exam rooms when a doctor sheepishly steps out of her office. She had been in the middle of a televisit and since it’s “always a drill” just went ahead and finished it. I had to tell her it hadn’t been a drill. 😂
This video was the intro for the fire safety training modules I JUST took for the healthcare system I work for. What's amazing is that it probably was more effective than the info I scrolled past immediately after. Excellent work on these videos!
Ah yes, the dastardly acronym posted around the hospital and taught to us that I can never remember. Rules: Fire alarms go off, listen to what floor it's on, if it's not ours, we shut the fire and patient doors, and carry on as usual. If it's on ours, I copy what my coworker does, because 🤷. 😆
The one time there was a real fire at my hospital, the alarm didn't go off. I think that was planned, because it was in the building next door, so those fire alarm systems aren't linked. But I was on the ward like, errr I smell smoke guys. 5 minutes later, oh the maternity building is on fire. I think what really gets normalised is the intermittent fire alarm. It's like, yes there is a fire in your building but it's not on your floor, so just ignore it for now. No one pays even a blind bit of notice. The emergency buzzer on the other hand, it goes off for a fraction of a second and 5 people are running towards you like, IS EVERYONE OKAY
