Some Chinese lady's half-chinese daughter referred to her homemade pickles as "non-American pickles". Yes, there is a myth that nomadic people are getting big muscles by living off of the land, WITHOUT EXCHANGING CURRENCY WITH US. Oh shit where's the ☕. THEY *ARE AMERICAN PICKLES* IF YOU MAKE THEM IN AMERICA. YOU ARE DOING A GREAT JOB "OF COLONIZING" IN AMERICA BY MAKING GOOD PICKLES. Your daughter needs to know. Is this stethoscope ON?
It was dark, and you were wearing 2 sets of tinted lenses… wardrobe malfunctions happen and can be forgiven. Just ask Justin Timberlake and Janet Jackson.
These skits become progressively more and more medically specific that as an everyday moron that doesn't understand the medical language I find myself nodding and smiling through most of them
As an emergency consultant (British version of an attending), I can confirm that we get sent to radiology's naughty step on a far-too-frequent basis... 🤦♀️😂
"When will they learn!" That's part of the training. The harsh light blinds only once, but the cool filter of double tinting sooths the soul forever more.
Ah, yet ANOTHER use for the term “light box”: • A tool for tracing line art. • A setup for controlling lighting in photography. • A device to treat seasonal depression. • A place to punish Orthopedic Surgeons.
It's also the thing we put gels on to cut out bands of nucleic acid, and occasionally protein - thankfully, we've moved on from the ethidium bromide and UV light of my yoof (although Radiology would be ready, with his two layers of eye protection).
As someone who just got a job in the radiology department, I am excited to see the accuracies of their portrayal. Already I can tell that they like the darkness like vampires, the hallways dimmed as I got closer to their section of the hospital
I got a couple of X-rays of my lower back last year and was wondering why the room with the X-ray machine is so dark. (Those two images took several attempts because I could not lie still on the table)
@@FuburLuck Ah. If my doctors take an x rax they normally tell me a few seconds after it is made what is visible on the picture. They don't take the picture to a dark room or something like that. So I thought this would be the same in a hospital.
“… and then seven hours of watching me dictate” was exactly my radiology rotation as a medical student. Until I figured out that 10 minutes looking at the “ACR teaching file” and then going home was a better way to actually learn something
This is really just half a step removed from “it interprets the x-ray correctly, or else it gets the light again.” We see the dark side of the radiologist, in more than one way….
A) O, poor, poor Bill 💜 B) I love that Radiology's ultimate, extreme punishment, is actually a mildly chill time out for two of the most burnt out doctors ... and gym time for Ortho lol Ahhhh ... Ortho ...
Man, I got to shadow an ortho bro for awhile and they’re just the chillest. I can just imagine the radiologists getting fed up with them. That’s why the ortho I shadowed had rad techs in office. He also had the magic ability to get insurance to go straight for MRI and skip the CT scan.
@@zazenwind google "ET tube" and imagine trying to talk with one going down your throat. Propofol is a sedative. So the patient was (partially) sedated and had a tube going down their throat, yet somehow found a way to talk to the doctor about their shortness of breath??
ICU nurse from Germany here „Sedation-free“ intensive care (Patients can communicate things like pain or dyspnoe via tablet/writing) is what we do now.
To this day, I refuse to use the word "infiltrate" because my attending hated it. I might use "infiltrative consolidation" which suits our aim of obfuscation better, anyway. This was Strong Work, Dr. G!
As a radiology tech student I love how you correctly portray the darkness. I feel like a mole when I leave at the end of the day and step into the dun. Arrgh! The light…,
And EVERYTHING EVER ORDERED IS STAT!!!! AND IT TAKES PRECEDENCE!!! Over real emergencies! A hand over a cxr. Yes I have gotten into it with ortho over this multiple times.
Also a rad tech. The amount that put details that, upon questioning the patient, are actually wrong, is far more concerning. Also, if you are a referring to radiology, dear lord please ask a clinical question that the modality you are referring can actually answer. Xrays can't do much to help you with tendon tears folks.
@@xxMurmaiderxx we had an xray the other day, when we looked at the lateral chest, you could see the faint outline of a glass crackpipe between the breasts...
As an xray/CT tech, it makes me jealous hearing a Radiologist actually correcting orders. Half of what we as techs do is ask ER doctors if they are actually expecting us to catch a chest PE, chest aorta, runoff, and CTA head/neck in the same scan. And then 3 hours later telling them a head w/o to "ruleout" an intracranial hemorrhage on the same patient isn't truly a head w/o.
@@thatismostillogical 99% of the time we do, but sometimes they like to surprise us. A few weeks ago we got a CTA neck (no head) for swelling s/p carotid surgery and then 2 hours later they wanted to make sure there was no ICH. Our rad was unhappy with us because we didn't check first (I did)
The double safety goggles made me laugh. I'm a laser research scientist, not anywhere near medicine, but I've doubled up on tinted lenses before. Even tripled up one time. My prescription transition lenses were still dark under my laser safety goggles under my tinted faceplate mask.
Every time emergency gets blasted for his use of radiology I catch myself thinking “oh yeah that makes sense” or “oh bugger I do that too”. But don’t tell the radiologists in my hospital I said so…. ;)
X-ray Tech here and yes, I like turning the lights down in our exam rooms. There’s even an ER nurse who automatically turns the lights out in his patients room when we roll in. When I worked midnights, one of the first things I did was shut lights off. And, sorry Ortho Bros, but the “stat” thing is true. Between the Ortho and Podiatry folks, it’s the residents that cried stat!
As a radiologist, this is the most unrealistic situation Dr. G has ever acted, because implies that we have social skills to talk like that. Radiologists only communicated through phone (the damn phone that never stops ringing...)
I agree 🤣🤣🤣 rad here. Everytime I have to speak to an actual person I get stressed out. Phone and voice recognition are my favorite people in this world. 😄
As a radiographer, or "rad tech" as the americans call it, this is pretty accurate. Though I'm definitely checking the next time I see SoB on a request from ITU to see if the patient is being mechanically ventilated from now on.
@@xisotopex yep lol. love it they clearly copied the order for exploratory x-rays to localise where the pain is coming from even though they know Exactly where the injury is. E.g. re-ordering elbow/forearm/wrist/hand when it's just a follow up for a thumb fracture 🙃
This is so clever! I didn't catch on to the "The Light" punishment at first, then I remembered one time when I was in the hospital as a patient, and my nurse called down to the lab.The guy who answered the phone sounded like he'd been down there in the darkness for a millenia. He could barely speak well on the phone, and really didn't sound like he wanted to come up to the third floor in the light of day to help the nurse with something (I don't remember what). Then I realized why 'the light' and the bright 'closet box' were punishments. I'm the exact same way! I can't stand 'the light'. My place is as dark as I can make it, with all the blinds shut and very soft amber lighting. When my daughter and her boyfriend were living with me, they would turn on all the bright lights that were pre-installed in the ceiling, sometimes just as a "punishment" if I had irritated them. I don't get why everyone nowadays wants their lights as bright as day all the time. When I was young, everyone had soft, cozy lighting in their homes, and most didn't even have any pre-installed lighting.
I can't stand overly bright lights, and prefer 1 lamp to an overhead 'room' light. Bright lights (except actual day light) can also give me headaches. But for Radiology, he 'needs' the dim light to properly interpret x-rays, CTs, and MRIs on his bank of computers screens - think about it like soldiers preserving their night vision by avoiding bright lights. Readjusting to the natural, gloomy, ambient lighting that is the Radioligists' 'natural habitat' would be quite a strain - hence the multiple sunglasses 😁
@Ms Shell M Yes, I get that. But it was funny that apparently, he'd been down there alone for so long that he couldn't speak to the charge nurse/manager properly on the phone. It was like pulling teeth to get anything out of him. After she hung up, she was like, "Learn how to speak properly on the phone, will ya."
As an ER tech that was responsible for taking patients to CT… I felt bad some times. I’d bring 1 pt over, come back to my bay, and snag another pt. This repeated, one day, 10x within 3 hours. CT staff was fantastic though lol.
I can confirm Bill’s face is true when you face up a fellow doctor asking about the info they wrote down in the exams order. Our CT’s department boss once made a neurosurgeon resident go back (to the shadows), since he will not get a single approvement for studies during a week (“sent a fellow resident if you really need them, maybe you or they will write the orders properly next time”).
I was imagining some devilish contraption made of LED's and scavenged flashlights capable of blinding people in there or something. What it actually was is way funnier.
I always love the videos because i can follow along by context even when i don't know the med references! They always make me curious, though. Now I'm wishing you had an explainer page like xkcd does! Someone needs to start that. Who's knowledgeable. So not me. 😆
This is a fantastic idea. I feel like a fan wiki about the whole Glaucomfleckenverse would be the way to go, so that everyone can contribute to a page for each sketch giving detailed explanation/breakdown of it. Then we could have pages on each character, where newcomers to the glauc flock could get up to speed on traits and relationships and ongoing references. I bet anyone can start a fan wiki ... Hmmm ...
Confession: I was expecting The Box to be the backyard. As in, actually outside with the sun. I had forgotten Radiology lives in the basement by choice.
Remind me of the very bright light that eye doctors LOVE to use with a magnifier to look at my retinas after my eyes are dilated. One eye doctor called it legal torture.
I love ortho just being a sweet guy that wants to help people’s bones. I wonder if nephrology has ever spoken to ortho about kidney disease hurting his poor ossified buddies.
Bean buddies! Think of the bean buddies! The only time nephrology didn't go ham on stupidity was helping out Ortho. It would be like kicking a Goldendoodle puppy.
kinda reminds me of doctors that will note they looked into your ears and document it, except there is no otoscope to be seen… not sure, but sometimes EMR templates aren’t the best. but, 15 minutes isn’t a long time to examine and chart while providing good care, sometimes. i think i understand why this happens.
I work in the dark room, and love it ngl. Every time I leave my eyes have to readjust. Every once in a while the sanitation people come in and flick the lights on and my gut reaction is to hiss.
0:51 one of our radiologists insisted that “infiltrates” can only be determined by pathologists with lung tissue samples. He was adamant that we should never describe infiltrates on imaging. Once a quarter, we would have combined radiology-pathology conferences and it was hilarious to watch him flinch every time the pathologist would say “infiltrates” because he was so used to calling it out. But the pathologist was absolutely the the guy who could honestly use that word!
