If RESTAURANTS were like HOSPITALS 

imagine having to get a prior authorization for your dinner

“So you’re not a real waiter?” “Yeah.” Brilliant. 😂👌

A good representation of American health system and its flaws

Absolutely! Except that in our small county restaurant you need to add a 6 hour wait to be seen in the waiting room by the single waiter (while helping other diners who are hungrier than yourself - the restaurant only has a single waiter because all the other waiters took lucrative temporary positions with wealthier restaurants). All tables in the bar where emergent orders are taken are full with diners waiting for tables upstairs in the longer term dining areas, so diners are seen by the single chef in the waiting area of the restaurant. Usually, the chef is great and doesn't stand on his importance- he busses tables, helps the waiter, and serves those too hungry to wait in the whatever available space the restaurant has- usually, the pre pre restaurant.

Forgot about the informed consent about the risks, benefits, and alternatives of each food order. Also every chef and waiter should have to write progress notes and a cook report of every meal and order and customer encounter.

" You will have to sign out against restaurant advice." Priceless.

Yep! Oh, and if you know/have some idea of what you want to order you'll be either treated dismissively or with suspicion

Love the various buttoning techniques 🤣

But you have to Sign out against Restaurant’s advice… lol 😂

AS an ER doctor I can tell you THAT YES !! Hospitals are like restaurants at least in the Emergency Department. We are in the service industry, we attend to your needs, we do our best not to have you wait, we never say "thats not my patient (ie thats not my table) furthermore patietns will get mad and wnat to complain to a manager 😂... Then they will ask for food and we do have a fine selection of turkey sandwhiches and cheese also yougurt, juices, oreos (AMAZING)....Many other examples !!!

Wow.. This is the best video as far as creativity is concerned. One of the best videos you made.

CLASSIC! You really nailed it Doc.

AGAINST RESTAURANT ADVICE HAD ME DEEEAAAADDDD ☠️☠️☠️ I feel that as a bedside ICU nurse 😂 😂 😂

Nailed it. Absolutely fuc*ing nailed it.

How does triage for seating work in a restaurant? 😅 Great one, doc.

Comedy GOLD

This was great, Doc! High five from a fellow doctor from Portugal 🇵🇹

Don't forget about the people who come by taxi (ambulance) to restaurant. Sometimes they get priority seating and services and sometimes they come to the restaurant just because and make your wait longer.

But many patients treat hospitals like restaurants....

That was good

I just left rhe hospital and this is ACCURATE! I had an unplanned c section due to the discovery of preeclampsia the day before. I'm a cardiac PT so I know the drill when it comes to hospitals (nurses walk on water, drs just do what the nurses say to do, and the floor manager is the wicked witch of the west 9/10 times). However, I was not ready for the sheer ammount of physical and emotional pain when my baby was sent to the NICU and I was in the ICU for recovery. Trying to order your food when you're ugly crying for 24hrs straight is a new one for me. God bless the nursing staff who persuaded my obgyn and nicu dr to let me finish the rest of my week long recovery with my son. I'll never be able to thank them all in the way they deserve... but because of them my son and I are both healthy and my recovery has been continued at home!! ❤🤱🙏🏻🙈

and to be served, you may need to book 15 days in advance 😏

I liked how your buttons weren’t always done up! Lol

I can’t omg 😂😂😭😭

This guy is just simply awesome. What a parallel. I can imagine the idea for this skit originating from an actual less than pleasant resturant experience 😂😂😂

Thank you! We have an insane system that wouldn't be accepted in any other application. It needs a serious overhaul that's directed to make the patient the focus, and to give him all the information up front.

That “try it again” is so true

Too Funny!!! 😂 ....oh wait. But ... it's like... True. 😭

Excellent way to make the point!!! 🙂 Our medical system is in dire need of changes!!!

the "have you been depressed or anxious lately" dismissal hits hard 🥲

As a waiter this isn't too far from what it's like being a restaurant

Omg this is absolutely genius level!! 😁

They don’t tell you how much it’s going to cost before they do it!?!?! Crazy.

Beautifully executed Doc!! 😍😃😍 you nailed it!!

This was absolutely BRILLIANT 😂😂😂👏 Totally love your vids Doc!🤩

Patient: The service here sucks Nurse/Doc: next please 😂

Fantastic. As an EMT, I have to some wiggle these answers in on behalf of our healthcare system

Very creative video! Sarcasm about the bitter truth

This is too real. It makes me want to cry.

LOLOL Gosh I just realized how confusing it must be for the patients. sigh

This is fantastic and horrifying and totally real! You get better and better Dr. Schmidt, like a fine🍷.

You have earned my respect..... Hope you wrote something in that new Employment Contact to protect you from the realities that Big Pharma does like the spot light..... Great Video!

Love your videos, it really captures the essence of the healthcare system.

If Hospitals were like Restaurants. "What the... Excuse me I ordered an vasectomy and I got a breast augmentation." "Sorry, we will take get that straightened out. You can keep the augmentation for free."

Pure BRILLIANCE!!

This is a great analogy 👏🏽👏🏽

Love ur vids man suggestion though if your not making shorts film the vids sideways instead of vertical

You left out the customer who didn't like the service and threw it in the face of the server.

At least nobody thinks restaurants should be free

You’re so funny but that’s pretty accurate 😂

I absolutely love this!

This is GOLD

Last line had me coughing lol.

Too funny 😂🤣😂

That was awesome!!

Salad dispensary 🤣

So creative 👏🏻

Best one yet!😂😩

So true Doc! I work in nursing homes and this is it lol, especially the AMA! Too funny!

So perfect!

Soooo funny 😄 lol thanks 😊 I love this video ❤️

Maybe if you lost weight the chicken wouldn't be cold. Cut out all sugary drinks and fast food, make sure you exercise at least 60 mins a day, and come back in a month so we can just blame more of your problems on your weight instead of actually helping you.

Spot on!

This is awesome! (And love the logo at the end. Good choice!)

You're a genius!!

Brilliant!

Where did you get this idea from? applying hospital rules to a restaurant?! BRILLIANT 🤩

Speaking of restaurants and hospitals... I always avoid ordering organ meat while dining in a hospital cafeteria. Thank you for allowing me to share Doc Schmidt.

Doesn't work as well in a restaurant. haha

Bahahaha! Excellent analogy!!! It's spot on!

This is so spot on! lmao

Hey wait a minute I never go voluntarily to the doctor other people force me to go there and I don’t wanna be there in the first place so you know and then they send it to the hospital and it’s like they’re doing you a favor.

Gold

🤣🤣🤣 omg u nailed it

Your best video ever!

LOVE IT!😂😂😂😂😂

Hospitals are like restaurants. You get the attending surrounded by sous chefs and everyone acting like they’re gods. Combined with people lined up in the sidewalk without a clear idea of when they will be seated

Kinda sad bc I thought you did a video with Huddy Bistro🥲🥲

Bravo 👏🏻

You forgot about them adding meals and appetizers that you never order/got then charging you for them.

Totally just had this experience. Now I’m having my baby at home. 🏡

"Against restaurant advice" had me cracking up. And then I got sad because of reality.

Omg please do this with a dental office

Against restaurant advice 🤣🤣🤣🤣👌🏼👌🏼

Omg brilliant 🤣

the fact that itcan be joked like that is scary..😥

looks like something familiar ...and on top ive seen language barriers. if you added a rolling stand with a tablet of an interpretors service contribution in addition, showing a patient looking at the doctor, maintaining a courteous gratitude composure towards " the teams effort to help their "needy self" (within...feeling overwealmed) ...)looking at the doctor as the Dr speaks...patient grasping gestures for pointers and then listening reliably unto interpretors voice. Here... I've noted, interpretors have used various methods of passing on the info. In the medical appointments ive been in sometimes I've noticed an interpretor would start word for word then switch into a thought for thought method of relaying information to that patient and then if easier and time efficiant..if possible diluting info more to save time dragging,...going as far as to a concept brief summarry approach of their retrieved perspective what the Dr may have tried to say. I've done simultaneous interpreting for a few consecutive years (in a non medical setting). People usually tunex in to hear me though headsets. Once i was in a medical appointment with my dad and i began with consecutive approach and then there was less pauses between the Dr's information and that became a little challenge so.. as she got rolling.. and instead if having the boldness in asking for a slowdown of pauses lol i turned into that same simultanious mode as a retreat lol and just spoke on in Ukranian what the Dr was saying as she spoke lol bc i didnt feel equipped to interpret with accuracy in a consecutive manner in lack of practice of consecutive methods. my dad could tune into my voice but that just threw the Dr. off from what she was saying. i suppose it was also not usual for her bc then she slowed down lol but i just could not switch into a consecutives method with her rate of speach and my lack of ability to gather her info for a consecutive manner attempt 😅 would you be willing to look into medical setting interpretting variations and share a video on that finding? would be neat to seethe other sides of perspective ex; an interpereters' experience in different forms like, in person.. on tablet...ect. a Drs, a patients

Son: Oh god i think im hungry Mom: hungry?! We have to go to the resturant now Son: eeeeh im fine itll pass

Funniest and pointyest one yet. ;)

Bahaha there is so much truth in this

Truth. LOL.

Hahaha like it so much

Gold!!!!

Please Doc Schmidt, a collaboration of You, Huddy Bistro, & Dr Glaucomflecken. Would be a delightful Smorgasbord.

Hilarious 🤣

Haha. He gets it!

It always blows my mind that in medicine customer satisfaction is not a thing.

Sign out against restaurant advice😂😂😂

I've thought for patient out comes the American system is ridiculous. But as a profit center driven by insurance its ideal. Now what if it was driven by customers paying upfront and following service depending on customers returning? Might see a different structure all together.

No desert waiter… They Have Desert Waiters at the Mayo Institute *badum-tsh*. I needed this during my late lunch break as a specialized waiter.
