Ortho is in deep shit---he may have gotten medicine to admit the patients, but when charge nurse finds out he stole the stethoscope, ortho will suffer. For years.
good. I went in with a hip bit displaced (may have caught a nerve) and couldn't walk was in horrible pain couldn't sleep for 3 days, ortho told me to sit on ice. another time again horrible pain in foot can't sleep or walk properly and only short distance, ortho tells me to go vegan why are they often so lazy and incompetent? T_T Maybe I should try female ortho, male ortho has been as horrible as male gynecologist ...who let men be doctors I'm starting to wonder.
@@HisameArtwork All doctors were initially men, remember? From discovery of blood to inventing successful transplantation technique all are men. I’m not trying to be misogyny here. You have to understand there is systematic approach in treatment, there are guidelines to follow for each diagnosis. I’m sure your doctor thought aggressive treatment was not necessary at that point, instead he went forward with conservative approach.
Ortho knowing saying bro will blow his cover, but being unable to stop himself and awkwardly changing it to brother on the fly is one of those little details that sets Dr. G apart.
Ortho having a nurses stethoscope is super accurate. On the few occasions an ortho resident had to listen to a patients lungs it was with a nurses stethoscope. I always stood outside the room and wait for my scope. They have a habit of growing legs.
@@getmeinplz A nurse's stethescope is simply a stethescope that belongs to a nurse. And on occasion, a provider will "borrow" it . . . and not always remember to return it. (An N.P. I work with and I have identical scopes, down to the color, so I put a nametag on mine so it doesn't disappear on me.)
Loved it when he uses " Patient brother" to sound more formal when he disguises himself as part of the Internal Medicine team and then reverts back to "bro" when he is aware that he has been found out.😀
There's nothing like a bunch of doctors who know nothing about diabetes trying to manage diabetes! I've even known some endocrinologists who didn't have the foggiest idea of what to do with type 1!
Came here to say the exact same thing! I’m not on a pump, but unless you have a phd in me, please let me manage my own insulin. And don’t give dietary a bunch of restrictions for my diet. I know how to make good choices, and I don’t want to have to fight dietary over some arbitrary rules every time I try to order a meal.
I was a pharma rep for 36 years. I was a hospital rep and sold Ancef in the mid 80s. One day, an intern on the Ortho rotation was going to do a H&P in clinic. As she walked by the Ortho chief resident, she reached over to borrow the stethoscope that was in his pocket. When she pulled it out (she was asking to borrow it at the same time), she discovered it was only tubing-no bell or ear pieces. The Chief of Ortho Surgery required that his residents do their own H&Ps…and the Chief Resident was trying to go along with the plan.
@@snatchX626From someone in Canada (me) when I saw the first few, I thought he was joking. But then when I read the comments and cases that were much worse, I was horrified. It's unreal to me how patients are treated by the medical field in the US. Here in BC (West Coast province), I can go to the doctor whenever I need to and not pay a penny. Whatever tests are needed from a simple blood draw to MRI, I wouldn't need to pay anything. Because I'm in a certain income group, I have to pay the first $180 for prescription meds (I think that's the amount) of the year and the rest Pharmacare pays for. I'm a healthy individual but I do need some regular meds for migraines, hypothyroidism and depression but if I was sick or in need of a hospital in the States, I'd absolutely freak out not knowing what to do. Too many Canadians complain about wait times in the ER but it's not like the US or UK and would be far faster if people wouldn't' go in for trivial things. Hospital stays don't cost unless there's a private room you want to give extra for. Canadians complain about wait times for elective surgery but I've had quite a few friends go in for knee replacements and none waited more than a month. I won''t say it's good everywhere in Canada but honestly, people complain too much and don't try to understand how hard the doctors, nurses and other healthcare workers give.
As a congenital heart disease patient, I love coming to the comment section to read all the comments by medical professionals. You all ROCK! Thanks for your hard work and desire to care for and heal those in need. I’ve lived 52 years on this earth because of your dedication. THANK YOU!❤️🥰
I can’t agree more! My families been through a lot of medical issues this year, and I have nothing but love and appreciation for every single person in the medical system and part of the medical stuff. If it wasn’t for medicine, some of us wouldn’t be alive! Or we would be in a lot of pain lol.
This is great! "The blood cells...there's not enough of them." 😂 Medicine should have asked "Red or white?" But ortho still got what he wanted in the end. He truly is a genius.
The ortho department where I trained had turfing post-op patients to medicine down to a science. LITERALLY a science. As in they fucking had EVIDENCE. They cited a paper that said inpatients did better after ortho surgery if they were managed by medicine primary and not ortho primary. So they literally had evidence to back up their practice of dumping all their patients on medicine. When I asked them about this, they were 100% unashamed and said "makes sense to me, do you really want an orthopod managing insulin?"
“Blood cells…..there aren’t enough of them” and “backwards pancreas” took me completely out. God I love this man, his delivery is perfect and it honestly feels like these are separate people.
I was referred to orthopedics recently for my eds complication, and all I could think of was "but it's not about bones!"...and then they asked me for an xray, and I thought "but...its not about bones... 😑" 😂😂
@@ambitionroadit’s very much an orthopedic issue if your EDS causes you to dislocate your joints all the time…PS ortho isn’t just bones. It’s bones, joints, ligaments, tendons and sometimes even nerves and blood vessels.
I love how ortho bro gave the same blank stare a husband gives when asked to fold the laundry. Smiles when internal medicine/wife give in and "fine. I'll do it myself."
Because IM will get just as mad about messing up medicine orders as my wife will when I fold the towels wrong. Apparently I had been folding towels wrong for 28 years 😂
A guy who can't even manage to fold laundry is doing it on purpose. It is certainly weaponised incompetence. Do it, and you will find yourself without a wife. You're a grown man. Act like it.
As a hospitalist coder whose doctors are contracted to consult with nearby orthopedic hospital, I imagine that this scenario is maybe why they agreed to just be consults for all of orthopedic hospital's admissions. 😂
I work in ORs and heard one of the best back and forth conversations between an ortho consultant bro and an ortho reg bro just recently. It went a little like this.... Ortho Consultant 'Did you get some loupes for theatre?' Ortho reg 'Yeah, I did. I can't believe the hospital barely has any, so I brought my own' Ortho consultant 'Oh really, you buy some?' Ortho reg 'Yep, NIKE one's' Ortho consultant 'Oh shit, I want some of those bro'. I seriously had to stop myself from laughing out loud.
My dad just went through surgery for an adenoma in the hypophysis and they told hem that he could get hyponatremia. When he said hypo sodium anemia i was dying
I laughed. I giggled about blood cells because tbh that's how I've done handover when we've had haematology boarder patients. "Ain't got no blood cells. This is suboptimal." But fully burst into laughter at 'where did you get that stethoscope' because my thought was "you stole it from the frickin nurses station you #&£+#-£-#" and then I was immediatley proven correct and my rage honoured
Why do I feel like Ortho would give the best hugs? Like the kind of hugs that are the only thing that can get you to stop ugly sobbing in the supply closet and get back on the floor when everything is just broken.
@@dfeueryes and no. Yes because we never deal with medical issues so we forget what we learned in medical school and beginning of residency. Also no because it’s one of the most competitive specialties so most of us were good at medicine at some point and probably graduated top of the class in med school, but have put in zero effort to maintain that knowledge because we would rather do surgery.
@dfeuer I think in any career where you get so specialized in something, you just forget about the generalities. Ask a M&A lawyer if he remembers criminal law, for example.
My ortho is trying very hard to pretend I don't need further surgery and is coming up with the craziest potential diagnoses. I had the great privilege of hearing him argue with my rheumatologist. O: Have you done a muscle biopsy to check for Myasthenia Gravis? R: . . . Of only the left leg? O: Myositis could also cause- R: OF ONLY THE LEFT LEG???
Oh, I’m so glad your rheumatologist is arguing for you! Some of the myasthenia gravis tests are pure torture. Sending you the best of luck and outcomes with the surgery or non-surgery option that’s decided on.
Just the delivery on "blood cells, there's not enough of them", i know that this will become yet another phrase i unapologetically throw into casual conversation.
He’s doing his best, don’t be too mean guys. Granted, his best is below most people’s expectations for someone who’s still technically considered a doctor but still!
Lol. Meanwhile after my hysterectomy I needed meds for my migraine (which was totally expected and discussed beforehand) and I just told my gynecologist what meds I got from my neurologist and neuro just let her order it no problem. It does help I'd been getting them for five years at that point and gave not just the names but also dosage. Made it really easy for everyone.
