I can't help but feel that Dr Glaucomflecken exclusively films Neurology soon after he wakes up the morning, using whatever sort of bed-head he woke up with.
"Mr. and Mrs. Patientparents your child is definitely going places. Not college, but places." "Your daughter has quite a lot to be modest about." "There's no beginning to your son's developments."
The best two overlooked jokes were: the EEG bowtie made of olfactory nerve sensation JUST to counter the "on the nose" comeback and that dopamine has no effect on motor function (a literal pun about 'get you nowhere'). Bravo!
Whereas I found it a tad insulting, implying that demyelination would affect reasoning capabilities which isn't necessarily true (depending on where the demyelination is happening). It's still a brilliant video and I applaud his talent ❤
@@ChlorineBeeSo you’re saying it can be true and in this context his use of it to insult the neurologist was valid and based in fact? Perfect. No reason for you to get insulted then.
@@user-kf6cb9eb5y NIHSS is a stroke symptom scale with a higher score being worse. Basically, Dr. asks for a consult for a potential stroke, neurologist tests the patient, patient has absolutely no stroke symptoms. Also tPA is a common first line treatment for strokes to break up blood clots.
@@user-kf6cb9eb5y NIHSS is an assessment test for stroke patients. A score of 0 means there are no stroke symptoms present. The guy spent most of the day confirming that the patients were not, in fact, having a stroke.
@@TehMuuli Add to that, they had an average of 0. Either no one had any symptoms whatsoever and responded to all indicators flawlessly, or somehow, some patients exhibited negative stroke symptoms that brought the average down. Don't know which is more fun.
Asking his interviewee to roast him better is the best form of love you can get from the neurologist. You can tell he sees the son he never had in the interviewee. Also, he didn't insult an orthopedic surgeon. He's getting soft in his old age.
Wow what a week. I'm very sorry to hear about the loss of your colleague and about your father. Sending some good energy your way. I hope things improve for you and your family. PS- thanks for being a neurologist. Mine have helped me a lot and I'm sure your patients appreciate you too!
Demyelinating in real time... Man, that one cracked me up, thanks doc! Not that it really matters, but it's been about six months since I received an MS diagnosis, so that one's going to be getting some regular use by me. Humor is healing though!
I heard that in order to match into neurology, an applicant must submit a paper that has a minimum length of 10 pages on why the other specialties are inferior to neurology. The paper must be filled with creative insults and roasts that will be later added to the neurology database for future neurology residents and attendings to reference from for any scenario possible if necessary. Is this true @DGlaucomflecken ?
What is your biggest weakness? The fact that my muscles cannot react nearly as quickly as my spectacular neural impulses thus delaying my well deserved disaproval of everyone else i have to come in contact with in this facility.
I love how RU-vid flags this video as "from a doctor licensed in the US." Great to know that Dr. Glaucomflecken is a trustworthy source of information for anything having to do with literally anything in the field of medicine! :)
To be real, I still don't know how you do it but despite understanding or thinking that I understand about 5-10% what is said it your videos, they are still very funny. I have no idea how that's possible but every of yours videos is a treat 😊
You managed to create an instantly recognisable applicant with the right level of swag. Amazing ETA: so neurology is not a sadist, he's a sadomasochist who's been looking for his match this whole time
All this time we thought he was a sadist, but he was just insulting people in the hope of finding someone who could dish it right back to him even more viciously
There should be a combined panel interview in which Neurologist Neurosurgeon Cardiologist Nephrologist All are present and Bill the emergency resident should say A glioblastoma patient with altered mental status and abnormal neuro examination with intra cranial bleed with hypokalemia on lasix and v tach may require neurosx. Love to see the heated discussion and viva bombardment on Bill
I stand in awe. Do you crack yourself up as much as all of us?When you get so many jokes in, with that impeccable timing, I hope you feel like a million bucks.
Of all your characters, no one feels more, for lack of a better word, "territorial" than Neurology. I don't know why or how, but even here, over 5000 miles away from the States, that's somehow totally accurate...
I think the Dentist character is right up there with Neurology when it comes to being territorial. Have you see how the dentist reacts when other doctors talk about teeth and the mouth? The dentist starts threatening them with his 3 iron golf club!
I once worked for a neuro senior resident who would end every call by hanging up and then telling us why he thought the person he'd just been talking to was incompetent and lazy. Part of our orientation was his off-the-cuff twenty minutes on why neurologists really do more hospital medicine than IM hospitalists.
My wife is about to start her interviews for residency and I couldn’t be more proud of her :) as for your videos we watch them and die laughing every time 😂
Excellent! As a NP in a academic teaching hospital 25 or more yrs ago, I was helping a patient who'd collapsed on the floor in a neuro clinic, and as I knelt beside the patient the aging wonky neurologist called to his student docs saying look I see a "perfect case of pre diabetes". We all look at the patient who is still recovering on the floor, puzzled, and he was pointing to something on my calf muscle my kneeling had exposed. After the crisis ended I asked Neuro what did he see? He clapped and said, "I'm never wrong! You will be diabetic very soon". OK...I'm still not pre diabetic nor diabetic, but he had an exciting moment. Smh. Your character reminds me of that very tall excitable Neurologist. Thanks.
Everyone: Loving the sophisticated EEG bowtie joke, the Uncle Herniation joke, the demyelinating in real time joke. Me: Cracking up over "anal wink" like a sixth grader.
My neurology professor used to have the same stance, gaze and posture as you did in the beginning of the video. Your impersonations are SPOT ON, bravo lol.
I have no idea whatsoever of what's being said, but the truly eager gleaming eyes and teeth of the Neurologist and the "You're ready" comment left me gasping in laughter. Dr. G., great characters, great dialogue ... too bad i can never use ANY of these putdowns in my work environment. Comments would go over their heads.
Honestly i wish hollywood could make a scene that good. Honestly talking inside baseball doesn't alienate the audience it makes it more immersive. What does take me out is when they pull a "can you say that in english so that the audience can think im cool and your a nerdy nerd."
The sheer joy you have brought to my life is awesome!! I've been in healthcare my whole life and your channel just tickles me to my core!! Spot on with every modality, position, (docs, techs, nurses, admin) and modality personality!! I am a dark adapted coworker also, only because I work nights. Thank you sir!!
that first five seconds of silence made me think their Superior Intellects™had allowed them to transcend the limits of human communication and they were going to conduct the entire interview telepathically
Then, of course, there's the core residency competency of yelling at anyone who doesn't specify what kind of brain MRI they're getting. "DWI? ADC? FLAIR? Are we measuring acute or subacute events, or do you just think that the brain never changes because you haven't learned anything new in 20 years?"
Also the Neurologist forgot to ask one of the following of reflex hammers: 1) what reflex hammer does the applicant use 2) what would he do if a med student uses their stethoscopes instead of reflex hammers. (I think we all know the answer to this one 😂)
Man, every time i see one of your videos i wonder how hollywood has lost one brilliant commedian actor to medicine. Keep up! I am finishing medicine school and your videos are helping me to choose my specialty.
Welcome to the field. Don't forget, cardiology's only job is to interpret our ECG's beyond whether or not someone has atrial fibrillations, the first question to ask on a consult before the consulting colleague even finishes their first sentence always is "when was symptom onset?" and never ever let neurosurgery treat you like their secretary.
I like to think there are patients outside who can hear everything and don't know if they've gotten a really good neurologist or a really bad one. He did take the roasting well.
It’s finally here! 🎉 As a fan of yours and neurologist I’ve had to sift through endless clips of other specialty interviews to get to the one on the greatest specialty in the world! 😂
OMG! Dr. G has outdone himself here! Just when you think he can't possible be any better at this, he takes another quantum leap- and this is amazingly, outstandingly accurate!
HILARIOUS!!! This guy never ceases to make me laugh. And this was his funniest one yet. Being some one who has a Passion in Heath care I truly appreciate these skits. KEEP IT UP DR EYES
Jokes in this were some of the best you've done. "Uncal herniation" had me cackle and I have to assume the "my greatest strength is my anal wink" was not just a reference to his neuro exam but how much of a tight-ass he is. Excellent. Bravo!
@@Stacy1368 lol, it’s when a doctor checks the reflex of the anus, especially in patients with spinal cord injury, the skin is stimulated and the anus will involuntarily contract , “Anal wink” patients with never damage it won’t. Of course The Neurologist would say I’m not explaining it correctly 😂
@@Stacy1368as most if not all the comments are from med students/professionals and I have no formal medical education, i too had questions whether or not I heard that correctly. This outsider complex also made me hesitant to ask if a: that is infact what i heard and b: what it meant. Isn't learning fun!
As I’ve just started needing to consult a Neurologist, this (mildly and humourlessly) distressed me! I studied neuropsychology, so have some understanding in the area, but it’s almost like I have too much knowledge and not enough all at once. Like I’d be able to interpret my own EEG results, but then matching them to my underlying cause of symptoms not so much.
