SURGEON reacts: Dr. Glaucomflecken rude surgeons! 

Idk if u are down for these kind of videos but can u like walk us through a day in the trauma and some of the interesting cases u have seen ofc with patient confidentiality. I aspire to be a trauma surgeon and u inspire me a lot so it would be interesting to hear more about trauma from you. ☺️☺️

@@yousifalasad1308 thanks so much for the kind words! This sounds like great idea - will think of some creative ways to make it a video

Questions I have for possible video request: how did you study for your exams to be a surgeon ? Either course exams or board! What were your study habits and how did you develop them? As a full time grad student…I’m always looking for different perspectives on productivity and studying:)

React to this new Dr. G video soo funny. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-JaQGOaqc4Rw.html

In response to your request at the end of the video: Yes, I would like to see a video you haven't recorded, yet. Now, get out your handheld time machine - STAT!!

Ι hope you found a job that makes you happy

I'm so sorry that happened to you. I was told by my father that he'd never be proud of me as a nurse, that I should've been a doctor. It wasn't a good feeling. But it's been 20 years, and I'm still at it

This is way more common than most people think. Pressure from families who decided you should be a doctor. My RN sister worked in PACU then anesthesia then got to know a number of doctors whose families pressured or threatened them into med school. One in particular wanted to study music. Sad. Glad you got out of it.

You are so kind. Miracles like what you are describing are thanks to entire teams, not just the surgeons! I'm glad to hear about your son's VSD and life-saving experience with ECMO. Grateful to have you part of my little youtube community here :)

And the poor Anesthetist who made your son pass through this surgery maintaining his life through all that .. also surgeons don't know what is ECMO hehehehe

@@mohammadnoufal4723 Cardiothoracic Surgeons do…

My son was born with a VSD and they told me it closed on its own by age 2 I wonder about that every time I see another parent talking about how their VSD child needed surgery. He’s 14 now but still..

@@mohammadnoufal4723 Anesthesia isn't the only other specialty in there either. A surgery will not run without all parts of the team. All the way down to the assistants running back & forth to make sure all the supplies are there.

So true! It's quite nice to see the real surgeon laugh and show his sense of humour with Dr G (gotta luv Dr G!)

So kind of you - thank you!

@@DavidHindin I bet you have alot of followers of your laugh! Kind regards from Gold Coast Australia

I think it's important, regardless of what you do in life, to be able to say to yourself: "There are many people in the world who can do this as well as I do but no one who can do it better." If not, work harder and improve. It may take a lifetime.

Don't get too optimistic. Cases still take long, the buck still stops with you, anyone you've ever operated on is your patient for life if there is a recurrence or whatever problem you fixed comes back (unless you want to work in a place where you just punch a clock), hospital admin breathes down your neck for increasing your RVU if you don't book enough cases. It's never going to be a 40h / week job.

It's such a terrible idea for a SURGEON to do SURGERY on little to no sleep. The consequences can be much worse than for other doctors. Probably the other important specialty that shouldn't be done on no sleep is Emergency care, and that's again another big one that is infamous for terrible hours causing insufficient rest and burnout.

​@@RainAngel111 There's "idea" and then there's reality. There's elective surgery but then there's emergency surgery. The latter is "emergency" for a reason. Where a big hospital employs medical and surgical staff, they would have to designate a surgeon(s) for night call. To be well-rested he would have to sleep during the day (no $$ for the hospital) and be available during the night. If there is a major procedure, the hospital makes $$. If not, no $$. IF there is more than one emergency (common), a second or third surgeon will have to be called in (awakened from sleep and expected to be fully alert). That's really not good either. Everyone is aware of all this and have been for generations. It's one of the reasons that it's important to go to big teaching hospitals if possible. Then there are usually both an operating surgeon and an assistant. He/she is a surgical resident...2 brains and 4 eyes/hands working for the patient.

aww hun if sleep is what you want there's only non-rural family medicine and pathology as the two that doesn't do on-call that I can think of. Every other specialty does on call unfortunately - a night's sleep and a full weekend are gold in every other specialty you end up in. Though shift work may be the other compromise - ED and Radiology you don't really bring too much work home (unless your ED is run like my hospital where the senior reg runs the night shift and calls the consultant for bad things). Anyways! I'm looking at 3 days of 24/7 on call and I'm an internist. So take from that what you will.

Anna thesia ahahha omg that’s so gold, but also, very sorry this so your situation -.- you are amazing at what you do

@@praderwilli4313 I beg your pardon? I don’t see anything in my answer that “makes everything” about nurses. Since I spend my day in the OR administering anesthesia, I can truly appreciate the joke. Why do you feel the need to be rude?

@@praderwilli4313 never said I was. And I believe his pieces are for everyone! Why be so mean-spirited? It’s all in fun, remember?

@@vwynnr I don't know what there issue is

@@praderwilli4313 You must be very unfamiliar with the OR, it's perfectly applicable with a CRNA, AA or Anesthesiologist.

Distressing and disgusting.

I had 3 surgeries last year, and frankly, none of it could happen if I didn't trust my anesthesiologist to keep my alive, asleep, and out of pain. The notion that you could be less important than the surgeon is absurd. Much love for keeping surgery from being medieval torture. 💜

Speaking as a patient (albeit one with lots of clinical exposure/related experience), I think anesthesiology is self-evidently NOT equal with other specialties ... It's clearly a lot more nuanced than many, has far higher stakes than most, and the body of knowledge involved is inherently one of the fastest-evolving! I strive to be a fun laid-back patient, and the one clinician I've ever had who I distinctly remember being unable to make laugh (barely got a brief half-smirk) was my anesthesiologist I met right before a surgery -- which is quite fine as far as I'm concerned, and was even downright reassuring, because if there's any medical role that's ideally filled by someone so intensely professional that they almost err on the side of slight uptightness, it's frickin' ANESTHESIA. I would certainly HOPE they'd tend to be the most laser-focused and stonily unrustleable people in any clinical setting. They're doing what seems to me to be -- if not statistically, then at least _artistically_ -- the most delicate, complicated, dangerous work in medicine. It's blown my mind to find out through medtube-culture that anesthesiologists are so underrated, and even catch flak. That's just legitimately one of the most bonkers things I've EVER learned. Seems to me to be a prime example of the weird human propensity to cope with insecurity-in-the-face-of-greatness by skewing our perception to minimize the greatness, instead of taking it as inspiration about human potential and finding security in maximizing our own competencies. I'll never be an anesthesiologist (I'll be going right back to the streets I live on now to serve my unhoused peers, so probably going to do rural residency thanks to Dr. Glaucomflecken causing me to realize it suits me so well lol -- populations who tend to have access to surgeries ain't underserved enough for me! 😆 ) but I'll always admire and respect the hell out of the field. Props to you and everyone in it. May your surgeon colleagues always learn and use your actual names. 🙏

I'm a physical therapy students and nurses think lower of us even though we are actually first contact practitoners and study medicine (at least in my country).

LMAO. Guess that's why it's called an estimate & not an educated guess. 😂🤣

@@ZijnShayatanica no, it was probably very close to that. Didn't take long to get a clamp on it once they got the hot nurse off my crotch 🤣🤣

It’s pretty depressing it sounds like almost every job is underpaid these days, especially ones that are as necessary as yours. Imagine everything just… shuts down because you found a better job

@@DeathnoteBB I feel trapped because no one's trained or willing to take my place. Not for such piss poor pay. It's a good thing I don't have a problem with my job, because I feel obligated to stay at my post. The city would literally grind to a halt without the dwindling amount of skilled IT people in my department. We're being increasingly replaced by greenhorns who don't know enough about the systems to operate autonomously.

@@redengineer4380 I feel like that’s happening in a lot of workplaces these days, especially places on the same level of importance (if not more), oddly. Have you ever tried to unionize or ask for better pay? I’m curious what they think will happen if the people who know how to keep a _city_ running just… quit due to unfair wages. Like I’m sure bosses like that would threaten to fire someone, but how do they threaten that when your job is THAT necessary? I gotta go for now but now I’m invested 😅

@@DeathnoteBB Unfortunately I work in a conservative hellhole, unionization would be a real hard sell (though, it'd be a dream come true for me). Unfortunately, and I hate to say this, the only thing that'll really change things is an emergency. Something important is going to break, and they won't have the skilled personnel on hand to fix it before it causes major disruptions. It'll force them to realize that their current hiring practices are fucking stupid, and they should be paying people more so we can do our jobs without being completely fucked by a lack of experience.

@@redengineer4380 I can bet… I can see how it feels impossible to quit because it’s not just a crappy company on the line. I hope shit gets better soon, somehow

Our evidence doesn’t add up, does it? 😂

Yeah I second this. Teaching is definitely a calling. Most carer jobs are. Mostly becuase people who see it as a calling are the only ones you can get to work such long hours that are industry standard.

Thank you thank you for being a dedicated teacher!!!

He is the best - and thank you so much! That means a lot to me!

I had a service elevator key, too. That was utter GOLD!

EVS here. We clean the bathrooms so we know where the secret ones are

That is so kind of you, Amber. Thank you!!! And yes - lots more coming. (Released a new non-reaction video last wknd too)☺️☺️

hi Empyie! Thanks so much - I'm glad you found my channel! Welcome :)

Hey Nell! Thanks so much - I'm really glad to hear you're liking them! And definitely no need to be scared of surgeons at all :)

So glad you liked it Eve!

Hi Amber, thanks for the suggestion! I've been thinking about doing some of these - so let's just say it's definitely in the works 😊

Thanks so much! Just posted a new (non-reaction) video - would love to know what you think 😊

Every pt. is apprehensive when they are rolled into the OR. I used to tell them that all of the people they saw in the room had very specific things to do and that each one of them was there for his/her benefit. Helped a lot.

Love this idea- thank you so much! Will need to figure out a catchy way to do this

I'm a coder for interventional radiology and it's so much more interesting than other specialties.

Great move!

Thank you so much - that makes me really glad! Definitely - more coming up :)

that sounds truly awful, hope you're better rested now

@@siraksleepmastersiraksleep9814 I'm in internal medicine now. Send help.

3 hours sleep is harmful for you

I’m a CRNA. I had a surgeon once suggest it was “anesthesia’s fault” when his patient didn’t show up for surgery! 😂 I must have forgotten the keys to the big anesthesia bus that day to pick my patients up on my way in to work 😂😂

It was when one of mine reached up and punctured her own heart! That added to the excitement of the case but it ended well. One of the few times I had to ask for additional equipment.

A consultant surgical specialist was brought to our 1000 bed hospital to perform a common operation by a new technique which offered the prospect of fewer complications. His informed consent was a pat on the head saying of done this many times and everything will be fine. Well, it wasn't and the pt. was the Attorney General. Needless to say, that surgeon heard a long lecture on what constitutes informed consent. Fool.

yeah, never a big enough emphasis on the E with EBL 😂

SO kind of you to send the SuperThanks - thanks Jere!!

@@DavidHindin No problem, Doc. Keep up the good work you do!

hi Alishba!! Thank you so much :)

There is never a good reason to be disagreeable. We're all there to achieve the same goal.

@@wholeNwon Disagreeable doesn't mean to be an asshole. It means having the courage to change course when you think something is going wrong rather than bottling it up inside to avoid causing drama. I want a disagreeable surgeon.

I don't think there's a specific reason, other than the fact that this silly character in the video is saying he only respects other surgeons

Not a physician, but as I understand it, surgeons despise medicine because it's way too fiddly and over complicated. They'd rather just hack away at things. If you are in internal medicine, though, you don't worry about what surgeons think because you know they're just jealous and only became surgeons because they don't understand medicine. I howled at this part of the video. And at being an asshole for 20 years so that you can get a teaching award at the end.

Stereotype. Have you ever watched scrubs? I think they kinda "explain" it there. As in internal ones (JD) always wait for the last possible moment to do surgery (trying any kind of medication first) while surgeons (turk) have the "open up once and be done with it" mindset. It obviously is rarely that easy. (Wanted to say never but the only thing that's 100% certain in medicine is that we all have to die one day.) That's where you get the stereotype of surgeons thinking internal ones are scared of surgery while internal medicine doctors think surgeons are some kind of obsessive butchers.

It is building on the ego associated with surgeons…..internal med is beneath them and to have 2 for parents deserves an apology and is justification for disowning them at the age of 12.

Thanks Kara! So glad you like it :)

Thanks Joyleen! I’m so glad to hear that :)

@@DavidHindin Your welcome!

😂😂😂😂😂……with 30 blood soaked laps in the bucket!

@@vickiecoles8214 🤣 I had a doc ask me how much blood came out of a chest tube of a trauma pt. I said "800ml". He was all "I thought there would be more!". And I pointed out the blood all over the floor and told him to double it. Needless to say he had a bad 1st day.

@@pamyuhnke8143 💪🏻💪🏻💪🏻😁😁😁

guilty 🙊

@@DavidHindin the first step! Lol.

Hey Asia! Definitely - it's on my list. That video cracked me up when I saw it!
