First Day of General Surgery

"you'll be doing things an inanimate object can perform: like holding stuff and opening doors, keeping quiet"

🤔🤔🤔🤔 ..... are y'all sure this is not the first day of a welder's helper!?!?

Gold.

Bruh same things happened to me and my group, in fact we were insulted for every failed question

it's laughable how close this was to my gen surg rotation

My neurologist takes recordings just like that

It's not that bad if you think of yourself as as a 12 yo in a barber shop learning from a barber XD same attitude you'll get

😂

I don't think I've ever met a line that more brilliantly captures the mentality of the egomaniac. "If I have to open doors myself, people die." Kudos to you, Dr glaukonflecken

😂😂 “she was taken to recovery in stable condition shejshdjdhslsjsheh.. END OF ROTATION “ 😂😂

I'm gonna be honest, I work in a wet lab, and that progression from inanimate object to toddler for new guys is real. If you don't start by making people pipette water there's no telling the messes they'll cause.

This one I really felt and I’m not even a med student

😂 lmao doctors can be so rude.

This is way too accurate...😂

My dad was a general surgeon and would always finish his dictations before he responded lol

saying yeah but neurology saying noo

....ready?

"Yeah."

Ooh, wrong already, I like that.

Once had Neph MD get up and close the workroom door on my face during interrupted dictation. 😃😃☹️😔

IS THAT A GODDANG VOCERA?!?!?!?

My uncle is an emt, what does this mean

😂😂😂😂😂

Did he say vivisection?

Bub bub bub skiddly bop … end of rotation

Too accurate😅 haha

My first day in gen surg rotation I scrubbed in on a 8 hour Whipple. Fortunately I didn't really have to do very much but I bombed every question I was asked.

😂😂😂

The way he said yeah lool ! .. ya we can relate

Ok, he’s being a dick about it, but Surgery isn’t actually wrong. If he touches a door (or any object that isn’t sterilized in the OR), he’s instantly contaminated and has to re-sterilize, which takes precious, potentially life-risking minutes to do right

So perfect!!!

Oh my god I have ptsd from being asked surgical questions I couldn’t possibly know the answer to in front of a whole OR

Opening doors are really important, I truly appreciate it… what about sliding the patient using pat slides (not so common anymore)

Dude my mom is a trauma surgeon and this is SO ACCURATE, the amount of times that I just find her in her office at obscene hours of the night doing barely intelligible dictations. When she isn't working 100 hour work weeks.

😂

I’m having PTSD from year 3 watching this 😮

Sonthiabis why Bill turned out like that ...

So true!!

You’re confirming me that general surgery is a messed up specialty all over the world and not only in Italy

“Now stand here for 7 hours in a sweltering theatre wearing several layers of plastic including over your eyes, nose and mouth, hold this retractor with a significant amount of force, and if you’re going to faint do it backwards, not into the surgical field”

Love call backs

He saying yeah and nodding no 😅

Meanwhile on my first surgery rotation, my doc was running late and called in to tell the staff they wanted the med student (me) to scrub in. So i did, got gowned up and everything. Then someone poked me and asked me to pick something up. Of course, me being the dumb first day med student who can’t understand basic things like sterile field, nearly bent down after getting gowned and gloved while all the techs and nurses were screaming NO!!!!! Turns out my surgeon likes to play pranks on the students on their first day like that, and it was him who poked me 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 insanely awesome guy though. I absolutely loved my surgery rotation (shocking!!!)

As a new nurse on an Orthopedic and Surgical floor I was so intimidated by these guys at first. Lol, four years later they would be asking me for favors. It’s funny how you have these guys down but the dictation part is so dead on. I saw that same face anytime I accidentally interrupted them!😂

If I have to open doors myself, people will die😂😂😂😂

Listening to these little shorts, it seems like a wonder that anybody ever actually becomes a doctor.

😂😂😂

That dictation😂😂😂

I’m literally dying laughing bc this was my literal first interaction while shadowing a cardiologist in high school 💀

Surgeon: mumbling under breath
Medical transcribers: 🫠

ROFL
Opening doors

As a former medical transcriptionist, this is triggering 😂
