Jeremy does brilliant supressed laughter and sobbing. Remember om Peep Show when he goes into the cult to "stir shit up" and begins sobbing when he talks about his father? Such brilliant acting.
A UK surgeon operating on a patient’s liver signed his initials on the liver using some kind of surgical burning tool. Apparently it wasn’t the first time he’d done it, and the other doctors/nurses/anaesthetists all covered for him, thinking it was a great laugh (or the junior staff were too scared to report him). It only came to light what he’d done when there was a problem with the liver and a different surgeon operated on the patient who could clearly see the first surgeon’s one inch high initials branded on the organ. I believe the offending surgeon served some prison time for assault. Edited to add: His name was Simon Bramhall:- 'A surgeon who branded his initials on two patients' livers has been struck off the medical register. Simon Bramhall admitted using an argon beam machine to autograph the organs in 2013 while working at Birmingham's Queen Elizabeth Hospital. He continued to practise surgery in another hospital until June 2020, and was struck off the medical register in 2022, four years after he was convicted of battery for branding the livers of Patients A and B, and almost a decade after his initials were first discovered.'
@@dragonsdynamite6403 Hi Simon Bramhall!👋 Still unrepentant and dismissive of your criminal act of battery, damaging your victim’s internal organs by burning your initials into them, I see.
Interestingly, there were petitions for bringing him back on, spearheaded by people he'd done surgery on. “I hope he signed mine” was a common sentiment. “Any surgeon who takes enough pride in their work to sign it ought to be celebrated, not punished” was another.
@@konayasai Another one was that it left at least one of his patients severely traumatised . We don't know how many he did this to. Despite his priotestations to the contrary it's likely to be more than a couple - a number of staff have since gone on record that they challenged him in the operating theatre for behaviour. His attitude to his actions left a lot to be desired, including writing a movelised version of events that belittled those patients who were less than happy.
No, no. They should get get Chris Morris to do the voice over for everything. Particularly Tory Conferences and most specifically all Liz Truss interviews.
I was wondering if the Armando Iannucci accent that David has for parts of this is a little nod to inspiration from The Day Today or Brass Eye. It's up there with Rogue Dentists and Bullying in the Church.
As an aside, it's funny how the most dated part of this clip is right at the end where the two characters are both holding stripy disposable plastic bags. Achingly pre-2010s
@@forgetmenotjimmy Google Simon Bramhall, Surgeon at Queen Elizabeth. He used an argon beam to autograph patients' organs. It was about 10 years ago, iirc. He was struck off the GMC register eventually, but it took years...
read this is "when the air hits your brain": This shit actually happens, there was one case where during brain surgery the surgeon carved "fuck you gary" or something to the effect of that onto the inside of the patient's skull before reattaching it. They only found out about it when the patient needed subsequent surgery and gary had to reopen it.
@@pjay3028 It's all part of the human comedy. You should learn to take a joke, and how to figure out the difference between an obviously staged comedy sketch and a news report. You're welcome.
Honestly, I don't see the harm. These surgeons do a difficult job, and if they want to let off a bit of steam it's OK by me. The snowflake generation needs to learn to take a joke.
You say that now, but just wait until you go in to get minor plastic surgery on your finger after it gets crushed in a door and you wake up as Chinese.
It is comedy, regardless of whether you appreciate it or not. It's ok for you not to find something amusing but you are not the arbiter of what is objectively funny.
@@peternelson7048 They is a line to which normal people with values and moral standing will say . That line has been crossed . For those of us who have a caring compassionate nature and who have endured cancer in one form or another. Yet are still human and appreciate comedy. I don't think anyone should criticize us for saying . This sketch has gone beyond the pale of common decency.
@@markmak7548 I'll reiterate - it's ok for you to personally not find the sketch funny. However, you are not the arbiter of objective humour. I, just like every other same person agree that cancer isn't funny. But that does not mean at all that it isn't a fit subject for humour. In fact the opposite is usually the case as I have observed many times when someone close to me has suffered from cancer.
