It Was A Good Call Day (An Ice Cube "Good Day" Medical Parody) 

all patients are alert, oriented, and independent and staying in Sinus Rhythm.

When I was a Peds resident, waaaaay back in tha day, I would volunteer to take call on the day of Christmas Eve through Christmas morning. It was the quietest night of the year for the ED & wards. The nurses would put on some soft holiday tunes at the nurses station that night and we would go from room to room delivering the presents "from Santa." Those were my best call days. Happy Holidays, ZDoggMD!!!!

code blue... "Everywhere!" hahahahaha

Patient smoking while on oxygen....expected. Ortho takes a patient on ECMO....believable. Radiologist giving a read with no hedge...DEFINITELY dreaming.

As always put a smile on my face. A good day- no isolations, no fingersticks, no crazy family, and all compliant patients. I have never had them all at once, but a Nurse can dream

IR doc here... love it! Especially the radiologist hedge part. The hedge is our national tree after all... A good day for me would be getting at least some history more than "pain" with all imaging studies (garbage in, garbage out people), having all my patients consentable and NPO for their procedures, and having none of those 5pm phone calls that start with "oh good, you're still here..."

And my jimmy runs deep, so deep So deep put her butt to sleep My Foley runs deep, so deep, that RT had to crank tha peep. You're a genius man. Your mind is able to place the best words that only apply in the medical world into a song that goes way back when gangsta rap was popular. Anyone can rhyme. Its an Algorithm. But to be able to formulate it so well, certainly takes special skills. keep it up. 🖒🖒🖒

As a hip hop fan and a believer in lyrics I think you knocked it out the park. Stayed true to the original classic lyrics and kept the medical terms right in line with the delivery from the original song! Good stuff and if you're medically trained (especially the docs out there) this was easy to follow. From the bounce back rolling right past me line to the lasix pee being supersonic this was a smash. From one doc to another...keep the videos and the laughs coming!

Best video yet! "Today I didn't even have to use my PA"......love it. This hospitalist PA salutes you sir!

Walk into the ER, no admit holds, no mental health holds, level 3's and 4's all around, the EMT prior shift overstocked everything, no isolation's, no transfers leaving or coming in, empty lobby and food in the staff fridge. But that day hasn't came yet........

so happy that you dissed dr oz!!!

1:20 omg I am dying. I just stumbled across your channel, there goes my productivity for the day

My friends from Residency and I were all feeling this jam--I'm Internal Medicine, and they're ED, Peds, and Cardiology. We all found something hilarious and relatable. I love the original song, and your version knocked it out the park! Can't wait to check out your other videos.

Hahahahaha, this totally reminds me of my overnight calls as a senior resident at the VA, being by myself, two interns and almost no specialty support handling all the crazy night calls, ER admissions and codes....the overwhelming stress at times, but looking back now as an attending they were great learning opportunities and fun times for sure. Thank God for the nurses and the rest of the staff for getting me through the crazy nights. ZDOggMD thanks for an awesome and true video of Internal Medicine!!!

This is hilarious!!!! Wished the doctors I work with were this cool!!! A good day for me is my patients slept all night, no fights, not getting cursed out, and nobody's getting naked on my psych floor. I just don't know why psych patients like to get naked. Lol

A good day (night) for me? No ripped out IVs, PICCs, foleys, ostomies, or NGs. If I'm lucky, all I have are "code browns", lol!

“Code Blue everywhere.” I know that feel.

icu rn and educator here I appreciate all the things you say about nurses

I generally say a good day is when no one dies on me.

Nice shot out to social work and case management!!! 👍thanks Zdogg

A good day in our ER: No codes, labs coming in at a good time, floor nurses willing to handoff (without attitude) and the CT scanning machine functioning properly lol.

Loved the video! As a nurse, a good day in IP medicine is patients with bed alarms using the call bell, no falls, no total feeds, polite and compliant patients, no wanderers, no isolation, all patients having code status orders in place, and all patients having PRN orders for pain and nausea. Hasn't happened yet, but it would be so nice!

Even though the medical toys have changed since my clinical days, it is still same patients running through the ER. Love the parodies. Glad I finally found you.!

I remember a few days like that - in the distant past. One of the great things about being a hospice doc is that call is via the phone and computer, because I've got great nurses with the patients in their homes. A good day is a scattering of simple questions and med adjustments, and perhaps a good death with family all around. (I admit my perspective is a bit warped!)

This was awesome good to see hospitalist in good light.

The good days I have so far are only when I'm off ;) But great job ZDoggMD for putting every doc's dream call day on the screen. Thanks a lot! It was great fun working on this awesome video :)

Bro that video was awesome ! A good day for me is when all analyzers are running smoothly, the LIS doesn't crash, specimen reception are on fire, and the interns aren't asking for 1000 add ons on limited blood. keep up the good work

Outstanding! Another day retired, each the best day I ever had.

This is tiggety tight ZDogg. Keep em' comin'!

Ortho took a patient on ECMO? They dont take patients with a foley where I am.

A good day is having a constipated patient poop with drugs rather than me do a manual disempaction ....and when my attending doesnt scream lol

Hospice RN, CHPN here - this is great! Thank you so much for what you do.

Never gets old....your videos are therapeutic. I come back as I work as a hospitalist....

Medical transcriber/editor - love all of your videos!!

“Code Blue everywhere”. I died 😂

Absolutely love the lyrics. So appropriate! Great song. Makes my day every time!

Good day is the EHR works, no 'DR. Oz' questions , everything as planned, finishing on time...Cardiology out!(love the videos ZDogg!)

I think I'm in love with you zdoggmd.

“Code Blue everywhere” Always been one of my favorite parts

I LOVE your videos! They are relevant and entertaining. I am taking my pre req's for PA school and these videos keep me laughing on the long study nights. Keep them coming!

I wish I could pay off my med school debt with something like this. Great job. Really funny!

"JCAHO tried to blast me" is an absolute fire line.

Dam Zdogg! You did it again son! Smash hit!

Genius as usual. Why would anyone ever dislike this

LMFAO The Lasix pee is supersonic,,.. AHAHA yea i hate it when they're salty!

Unit Clerk here! My good day consists of -Few phone calls. -Potluck in the break room -Rude PTs talking smack to my nurses leaving AMA. -Case Managers & SWs on a roll. -Docs being sweeties to a clerk! -No Code Blue overheads. -Timely replies to pages. -Kind visitors no crazy, lawsuit/HR mongering families. -Few orders to be made. -Management being kind and not blasting you. -No Safety reports to be written. -Teaming with Docs for rounds. And finally, Working together as a team! Everyone is an important essential part of the team for its all about the patient.

Bloody Brilliant Hahahahaha! Made my Monday. HOW have I never seen this?

B.S. M.T. (ASCP) in Vail Colorado. YOU THE MAN !!Lovin it.............

RT here, represent! Respect!

+1 for Ballast Point Big Eye IPA. Great song! Great video!

You are absolutely amazing. Never disappoints. Where can I get a turntable health hoodie? Looks super cozy.

This is great. They should show this at Stanford.

2023 and it still gives me the same vibes 💪💪❤️❤️

Zdogg , You have to hook up the video of this for us mobile users. I can only see that gangsta jam on my desktop computer. Keep it up !

That sounds like an awesome dream......

* All the CBCs pass through the DXH without needing a manual diff or a red-cell review. * None of the UAs need a microscopic review. * The pending log is empty. * The BacTec stays quiet. * No one asking for units of blood. Or, at least no one has an antibody or other special need. * Everyone's got great veins. * All the analyzers work. * The QC is within range. * No inpatients or employees test positive for COVID-19. * No nurse, doctor, or phleb has a needlestick. * We have enough staff. * The outpatient center is not busy. * All stool samples come in the sterile containers and not old margarine tubs. * No critical values. Or, at least I'm able to reach the nurse in charge of the patient or the attending physician easily. (And without having to page them in the middle of dinner or at 3 AM.) * The LIS is working. * No code or stroke alert.

LMFAOOOO at the fact that it was all a dream It was all a dream round 2.

"All cultures came back sensitive to Pen-VK" 😂😂

I have a friend who is doctor an ER doctor...he smoke weed before going to work 😂.... damn i missed him...we are lost contact hope he is doing well take a good care the patients....Doc Steven you are the man 😂😂

Thanks, Z!

A good day is when the vital signs are validated and charted completely within an hour

Sorry, but as a perfusionist.. ortho never takes the ECMO patients 😂, but I love your videos! You bring love, happiness, and a real sense of community to health care.. Maybe do a shout out to ECMO or perfusionists some time! ❤️ Laura

Nothing like an oldie but goodie.

OMG, having worked in healthcare for over a decade, so funny!!!! Please, please, please do an EMS video!

That's freaking sick and awesome as my big stick lol

I am Loving the videos Zdogg!! You Go Boy!!!☺☺☺

I love this! Totally puts me in the mood to deal with the grind.

It would be real cool if you did a video on medical uni students and seeking mental health help or decreasing the stigma of mental health issues. This is a very good platform for information and is a very big issue where i am (australia) :) good work

Keep doing what you're doing.

ICU PharmD here, this one might be my favorite so far.

Hahah nice ! I loved this. You're so creative Doc

How does this not have more views lmao

Why am I watching this? I should be charting. 😳

A good day is dictators who speak with some clarity and the voice drafts are correct!

A good day is when all wound clinic patients show up for their appointments on time and without having tried any home remedies that their cousin's boyfriend's sister recommended, since that somehow carries more weight than the interdisciplinary treatment constructed by the MDs (infectious disease, podiatry, general surgery and, of course, PCP a.k.a "gatekeeper to all that is to be deemed worthy by the HMO"), NP, RN, diabetes educator, pharmacist and case manager that is available, affordable and still clinically effective.

Another awesome video! Keep 'em coming!

OT's and PT's!? Don't forget the SLP's. Speech, woot woot!

There ARE those days! Lol

OMG, will soon be onsite at a couple of my client hospitals. The medical directors will get a kick out of this :)

I ain't a medical professional, but as someone that does oncalls, this is pretty awesome.

I love this one so much.

solid stuff man.

Love your video Dr Z, thanks ! NP here !

The end tho... ROFL "Code blue.. Everywhere!"

"no kub showed gerbils." lol i have actually had quite a few surprise like that while on shift

had a day like this at the freestanding er a few years ago. slept my entire shift. nobody came in

Wow! you are the coolest doctor ever!

A good day is no one coming in and taking up beds for dumb stuff, like a kid with a fever whose parents didn't try tylenol first, or someone who clearly has gastritis, or someone with a sore throat who doesn't know that that isn't an 'emergency' and that walk in clinics are a thing.

This was so awesome!!

AWWWWWWWWWWW YEAH!

Just fantastic!

Great job. Love it.

walking into nightshift seeing day shift playing and enjoy shift change

Love this stuff! RN from the 70's. When beepers were beepers

He said: "take it"...LOL...then he ran!

*Hey CJ, tell me why I didn't finish high school?*

Code Blue everywhere!!!!! 😂

Ha, the intern is so realistic

My days were so F ing good , I RETIRED !! Have fun !

YES!
