I did not include video footage of Jonathan’s Jonathan for a reason. I don’t think it is safe for him to enter your consciousness just yet. Patience, flock. Patience.

The evil laugh from the ophthalmologist... oh no, the stress from making him work a weekend has finally made him *SNAP*

"I won't let you down bike bro.". Too sweet for this world

I’m surprised that they were able to get Jonathan tied up in the first place. I’m betting that it involved bait, a tranquilizer gun, and at least three ER doctors.

Thoughts and prayers for the new interns taking their first call on July 4th 😁 In ortho we used to divide the holidays between "drunk" holidays like the 4th with a lot of alcohol-related injuries, and "holidays of familial regret" like Thanksgiving when people go get grandma out of the SNF, bring them to an unfamiliar environment with loose rugs, and we spend the night fixing hip fractures. Awesome work eye-bro.

As an Indian ophthalmologist, have the same feelings about Diwali!

The lore expansion this episode! A backup Jonathan and the introduction of Trauma Surgery. Great skit.

I died laughing at the trauma surgeon!! How he was slapping his helmet and getting pumped up!!

Oh my gosh yes 😆 my moms a radiologist and the amount of exploded hands that she sees on the 4th is absurd…her coworkers are already bracing themselves for the weekend

The concept of fractal Jonathans is great. That said, the quality control on most fireworks is not great. I’ve shot fireworks shows professionally. I’ve had pro tube launched fireworks fail on me dramatically. The pro US made stuff is good. The pro Chinese stuff is ok, with occasional dramatic failures. The amateur Chinese stuff that your average schmo might buy is a gamble. Fuse burn speed, for example. Still, most of the carnage is just drunks and children. Oh, so you’ll just hand out sparklers for the kids to wave around? Yes, a stick of burning magnesium at 4000F in a child’s hand is a brilliant idea. #1 source of 4th of July fireworks injury for kids. Be safe out there.

The raw brutal honest of plastics and ophthalmology in this skit are amazing. As a hospitalist I can feel for ER Bro.

Working my first 4th of July this year. On evening shift. At my hospital near the beach. Thanks for making me laugh about it!

Fourth of July is the ophthalmologists' week to shine! Think of all the embers embedded in corneas! Fun memory: Me, on duty EMS standby at a fireworks display when a shell exploded too low, just as everyone is looking up. The throng of pts staggering to the ambulance looked like an episode of "The Walking Dead" 💀

haha Jonathan and his angry face no head nod either, someone is going to pay 🤣 😂

When you showed Jonathan angrily tied up, I thought for a second we were going to get a firm singular "NO"-headshake like his nod 😂 I guess, even under the worst of circumstances, he stays true to his nature and would never sink to the level of voicing a "no"!

As a former ophthalmic tech for 10 years, these Jonathan videos make me crack up but also completely relate. I was a Jonathan..

Paediatrics always trying to force me to do a several page (seriously) clinical history when I was helping in A&E there... one day I just had enough and wrote "toy car - up his nose, APGAR irrelevant" and walked off.

Just a thought: "...yes, I can; and I am too burned out to care." Got me in the feels... the only one I got left.

For you guys it's Fourth of July, for us it's Diwali. Lot of drinking, lot of fireworks, lot of exploded faces and hands 😂

When I did 911 dispatch 4th of July was a complete shitshow. So many stupid injuries, so many kids getting hurt with "small" fireworks, so many drownings and drunken injuries. Please, folks, if you have kids near water, have sober adults watching them without distraction! And for Pete's sake, don't give them ANY explosives!!!

I’d be thrilled with a clinical indication of “hand exploded”. I usually just get “pain” or “trauma”, with injuries ranging from an imperceptible scratch to an amputation!

Been watching these for so long that I genuinely forget sometimes that the same person plays each character, they're so unique.

1:34 I love how mad yet serious Johnathan looks.

The “Don’t forget to provide enough patient history” …. Priceless lol. Your created cast is so perfect it also includes veterinary medicine doctors. The 4th in an emergency Vet hospital is so like this as well. Imagine trying to find… an Emergency Veterinary Ophthalmologist.

Oh DEAR. Jonathan looks more upset than we've ever seen him! (Nice fast pan/cut btw. Flawless.)

I just like how the level of back up Johnathans could conceivably reach absurd levels. It’s Johnathans all the way down.

I thought Jonathan was just gonna break out of the ropes like the incredible Hulk

No this is extremely accurate. I worked as a medical scribe in an ER in Alabama, and a woman came in screaming, hollering (I think she couldn’t cry), because her 4 year old nephew set off a firework in the backyard and she was blinded with significant trauma to the eyes. We didn’t have an ophthalmologist on call so we had to transfer her. By the time we did, she said she could see some blurs, but the doc, NP, nurses, and techs, really didn’t have any hope for her getting her eyesight back

I can’t stop laughing! I thought trauma surgery was a mood, but ophthalmology & his secret cadre of Jonathans shattered my funny bone!

Opthamology is one bad day away from becoming a supervillian with the world's most terrifyingly competent henchmen... And I think Emergency Medicine just gave him that bad day.

This smooth transition from opthalmology to Jonathan

Things about to get crazy in the emergency department

Everything changed after the multiverse portal was opened. Never thought I would hear about the existence of a second Jonathan

Funny how Ophthalmology and Jonathon are the evil villains in the medical field. Does he have pet cat?

There's nothing more terrifying than a backup Jonathan!

I'm just happy seeing Ortho ready to be completely in his element. Femurs all weekend long, bro!

The DGCU (Dr. Glaucomflecken cinematic universe) continues to grow

These never fail to make things so much brighter when the impending stress of a holiday involving explosives is upon us...thank you, Dr. 🤣

The devil shivers when Jonathan gets angry

As a transplant surgeon, we will be ready to capitalize on all of the 4th of July shenanigans on July 5th-7th! Keep up the content. You’re killing it❤️

Thanks for the heads up! I work at the transfer center and this will be my first 4th of July weekend working there. I will be ready to -ask the ED clerk to fax me the CT report so that when the Trauma Surgeon thinks that the report from the ED doc isn't good enough, I can read them the CT impressions word for word (I think sometimes they prefer that over the report from the ED doc) -have the ophthalmologist tell me, "no transfer, follow up in clinic." -hope that I don't have to call plastics and have them explain to me how they drew the line on the body to peacefully resolve which part goes to them and which part goes to ortho.

My dad tumbled the riding mower tractor and track-vac down a hill on top of himself and a tree stump on July 3 a couple of years ago. He, being in his 80s and during a pandemic, was taken to MD Shock Trauma, one of the premier emergency medical centers in the United States. My mom, a retired nurse who speaks medical jargon, was able to follow along behind and to accompany him through his day. He got there at 3 pm and didn't end up heading home until 3 am. The new residents were just starting that month and no one knew where anything was or what the procedures were. Though Dad got a good standard of care, he spend a lot of time just waiting on a gurney for different specialties to be available. The new residents were totally freaked out by his chest X-ray which showed evidence of broken ribs. In a consult, an experienced radiologist was able to show the residents that the cracked ribs were old scars from Dad's previous tumble off the roof a few years earlier. He had only needed "minor" brain surgery back then as a result of that incident. Dad was taken through his whole neuro and thoracic exam, which included a CT scan, only to have them finally look at his arm, which had a large cut, and after it unwrapped and was lavaged, they realized that it also needed to be imaged and he had to be sent back for ANOTHER CT scan. Thankfully, though he was banged, bruised and cut up, he wasn't badly injured. I'm sure that all the new residents will only make those mistakes once and that it was a good learning experience for everyone. My parents learned that it was a good year to finally make up their minds to sell the house and move into a retirement condo. They ended up selling at the top of the market for well above asking price. If they had waited another year to sell, they'd have run into higher interest rates and who knows if my dad would have survived the next inevitable house-related disaster.

Oh, fourth of july, the weekend of alcohol and explosives

My favorite weatherman from metro Detroit would always give a 4th of July warning to viewers about fireworks safety. Unfortunately, he ended up with a firework exploding in his own eye. Oopsy! But he has a glass eye now, looks great, and has even more credibility when newscasting about fireworks safety. Thanks docs!

"What up, Call bros!" I don't know why but that cracked me the fuck up.

Just what we've been begging for: MORE LORE!!!

The plot twist we didn’t even know we needed!!!!! 😱😱😱😱😱

Ah, I see Eye bro learned from his experience with the Therapist. Got that backup Jonathon so he'd never be separated from his loyal scribe ever again.

Ok I'm legit scared rn. Back up Jonathan!😱 I didn't know the Opthamologist was so diabolical.

Emergency medicine: Well, the good news is that trauma surgery and I were able to keep your eyes in their socket... the bad news is that since Opthamology doesn't work weekends you're probably going to be blind by the time he sees you for the consult. Good luck. Patient: Well, f**k.

I love all these vids. I knew an old lady who was missing 4 fingers. One day I asked her how she lost her fingers. She said as a kid she was playing with firecrackers and one exploded in her hand. She was afraid of getting in trouble and managed to hide the injury from her parents for several days. By that point the fingers, or what was left of them, couldnt be salvaged. She was a very tough cookie.

You just never fail with these. Always amazing!

My brother was an EM Jonathan all through undergrad and now is an EM doctor doing his residency. He has certainly seen some interesting things.

Aloha, I love your sketches and as a senior ophthalmologist I can relate! I was glad to see in your bio you play ultimate frisbee. They don't have a division for the great great masters division(which is going on in Ireland now) for me, but I still go and play with crew (mostly goaltie). I'm sure you can understand the heckle "get a library card and learn how to read [the disc]"

That was the biggest reveal since learning Vader was you-know-who's FATHER!

Omg this is fantastic, you need to continue with your general hospital skits, these belong together

Tying up Johnathan, damn that's brutal. Johnathan having a Johnathan amakes my head hurt. And that evil chuckle!!

"Why is he tied ? " "It's the only way to get an ophthalmologist to work during weekends " Bruh it's the only way to get em to work / consult at any time not only weekends.

Goodluck you guys may the fingers be found , the fractures easily set. and may them all have in network health insurance.

I want to see the second Jonathan!!

Backup Jonathan! The plot thickens

As a radiologist on call this weekend, most of my call is from home. The radiologist for GGH should probably be attending this meeting via zoom from the comfort of his home office.

YES!!! Brilliant as always, LOVE YOUR CONTENT!! It keeps this coder/biller from going nutty…👏👏👏😄

LOL! My niece just called me Jonathan and told me to get her bath water ready and cook breakfast while she bathe.

Dr. G's acting is so flawless I literally forgot for a moment when these characters are all played by the same person. Full round of applause, Dr. G, and best wishes to everyone working this weekend!! I'll try to keep my friends from landing in your emergency room

OMG, that laugh was just pure evil. Thanks Doc, didn't know you had it in you to pull that off.

Ophthalmologist being the devil king could explain why he have so many talented Minions

Only the smart ones have backup plans for every situation because they know Murphy's law exists

Finally, the glorious return of Trauma Surgery!

The back up Jonathan has agreed to be my Service Jonathan because fireworks give me extreme anxiety. I’m sorry Ophthalmology, peoples’ eyes will need you this weekend. Someone will inevitably get a firework shot at one or both.

I laughed so hard at “it exploded, there.” Love the ER doc’s directness and desire that others get to the point. My kind of person. 😂

So funny, you're brilliant. Love all of the different doctors and the way they act and talk. Thanks for making me laugh so much

Phenomenal character development for the ophthalmologist... Never have seen this dark of side from him

I can’t even tell you how much entertainment I’ve gotten from all these videos. Thank you!

DYING! Love plastics punted to the university center. Stitch bro isn't going to have his martinis and boating time messed with. Trauma bro is beyond HAWT! Love the Argo. Having worked in the ED over the 4th, it is exploded, drunk, 800 level blood sugar, MCA/ATV fawk ups, and the dialysis patient with 32 lbs of water weight. GOOD TIMES!🤣

You finally did it! Go trauma!!!! You da man, Doc!!!

Pro-tip: don't buy "home-made" fireworks sold by a sketchy guy out of the back of their pickup truck for cash and then hold them in your hand while you light them.

Jonathans all the way down like a Russian nesting doll

Opthalmologist is a secret villain and I'm totally here for it and fully support him

In NZ there are three holidays that involve fireworks, but only one that traditionally features a LOT of drinking, and that’s NYE. We make up for it with heavy drinking every time the All Blacks play. We also have the occasional volcanic eruption that ties up every plastic surgeon in NZ and Australia for months (RIP to all the victims of Whakaari/White Island).

Hilariously accurate it seems.

I’m not in the medical field, but these videos still crack me up!!

4th of July is my birthday. Jonathan is my favourite character and I get this amazing plotwist?! AWESOME!

"It exploded. There. There's your clinical history." Brilliant!

As an anesthesiologist working 4th of July weekend, I’m a little disappointed we weren’t included in the doctor huddle!

Ahhh, July 4th weekend beckons and I am so glad I no longer work bedside.

I'd forward this to my ophthalmologist but he came in on a weekend to treat my pinkeye. Dude's awesome.

I would have thought 4th of July was the one time the Ophthalmologist was excited to work-protect those eyes ; no sparklers

This is gold. Please make a sequel

Currently in the hospital now! But the only thing explosive about my July 4th weekend was my appendix!

🤣🤣🤣 This was too good!! Lives trauma surgeon depiction and Jonathan ^2 oh my!

I used to work at a hospital that had the contracts for city police and fire departments. I do not miss working a Fourth of July weekend there.

SECOND JONBRO

Had no idea people explode this much on 4th of July

Seeing Ortho always brings me joy. Also loving the inclusion of Trauma -- he seems ready for anything. XD

A backup Jonathan gives me the shivers. It's a year later and I'm still not ready.

😂😂 ❤ Omg ! ER Doc here this is incredible and very accurate I just say. Such great content as always. Please Stay Safe !!!!!

Currently a med student and seeing how the Ophthalmologist looks villainous make me want to become one.

The cliffhanger is illegal 😭😭😭 We need a sequel 🥹

Johnathan tied up is epic 😂😂😂😂😂
