Surgeons, What Was Your Biggest “Oh Crap!” Moment During Surgery? 

19:27 nice rhythm and you can dance to it

19:45 sick beat. 😂

ih man love the 30 seconds of lagging

22:23 I love how the reply to this doesn't know a Dr Nick quote

Imagine spending a helicopter flight knowing when you land you have to perform a life or death surgery.

When I had pins in my wrist, they just pull the pins out without anesthesia local or otherwise. It didn't hurt, but it sure felt weird, I might have preferred it to hurt slightly than what I felt. I did not like it. ETA: now I can pop my wrist the same way one does their knuckles. I did it in front of a doctor once and they were shocked, and said I shouldn't possibly be able to do that.

"Surgeons on Reddit" ... I do not want a surgeon who is on Reddit.

Try to correct those failures at 19:26 they are friggin annoying!

Then but it then but it then but it then but it the but it then but it

Oh boy, this ain't gonna be pretty

13:08 oh my god, I just had a cystoscopy a few days ago. I cannot imagine how excruciating that procedure would have been without anything to numb the pain😮

I don't know where else to share this but I'll share it here because it's semi related. But I had a kidney stone the size of a bullet that had lodged itself into the kidney. I got a routine minimally invasive surgery to blast it into peices with a laser. Surgery went great, but afterwards I had a rare(ish) complication where my urethra and kidneys began cramping. Think a Charlie horse but on your insides. Most painful thing I've ever felt in my life, so in the recovery room I started to scream. I was scared and it hurt so much that I wanted to jump out of my skin, and I about fainted. Do you know what the nurse said to me? "Mam there are other patients prepping to go to surgery so could you please keep it down?!" Not "what's the matter?" Or "what's going on?!?". My husband couldn't be in there with me because it was during the height of COVID, but when I told him what she said he was livid and called the hospital to tell them what she had said to me. Recovery was hell, my cramping continued periodically. But thinking back on it, that nurse needed a punch to the kidneys to she how she likes it. Horrible bedside manner.

19:25 to 19:54 you have an audio/video stutter.

Love these stories

3:14 we need more rockstar moments for healthcare workers.

"Well fear's sort of an odd thing..." That whole post is quoting Lost, the television show.

Biggest *"O CRAP"* moment for the patient just before the anesthetic puts them under: Dr. Nick Riviera lifting off his mask to say *"HIIII EVERYBODY"*

16:46 this happened to me when I was given an epidural. Turns out the anaesthetist had given me way too much of whatever drugs - it results in my blood pressure dropping rapidly and the hospital bed having to be tilted so my legs and feet were elevated. The anaesthetist hadn't taken the fact that although I was pregnant I am very petite so should have been given a lot less than an average pregnant women.

26:21 Lost?

12:50 Local anesthetic medications don't work for me (I'll get difficulty moving my face with lidocaine (misnomer Novocaine, which is actually procaine) and still bite my cheek, but the pain isn't lessened; I learned from a botched lumbar puncture by a resident that I am immune to articaine too. I haven't tried high dose mepivacaine, which dose people (~15-20%) have had decent results with at 5x the usual dose with our condition. The trick is finding a doctor willing to use it at all.

I’ve had surgeries before All I’d then were with anesthesia/sedation

13:40 I would be that the patient's has problems with that tooth long-term. They should have fessed up or at least don't a free yearly follow-up. If anything has wrong, they should have a free dental implant (the patient would be so happy that they wouldn't ask, bring needing told that you felt it was related to the first and you wanted to take care of the, so you were making an exception)... Or at least free beyond whatever was covered of anything. Or "forget" to bill the patient amount after insurance for the first surgery. That was a LONG TIME to be wiggling a healthy tooth

25:46, Ok Jack Sheppard 😏

Nice Lost reference

Truthfully I think they only actually tie a woman’s tubes have the time think about it lots of women who have had their “ tubes tied “ become pregnant also they make a huge deal about it unless you have a crap ton to of kids
