It’s gone from, “Knock, knock, hi, I’m the new med student!” to “we’re the ones who knock.”

Tread carefully, med students. If anyone catches on that you have basic, human needs, you'll be labeled "unprofessional."

"We're med students...of COURSE we're overthinking this!" 😂😂😂

Literally said "Is there anything else I can help you with?" today and the senior clinician replied "No, you should go home." haha I love that this is just a universal unwritten code

Med students everywhere thanking you for raising awareness

Med students, when cross-examining your attending, never ask a question to which you do not already know the answer.

Lmao straight to the point. Can't wait to see the med student justice council bring to court all the specialties.

Just recently happened to me. Attendings logins werent working so she kepted us till 8 pm to type her notes while she was preparing her conference call. And then she had the audacity to call us lazy bc we wanted to go home. “I have a conference that 1000s attendings want to learn from me, and ur missing ur chance” as we are dead tired and didnt learn a single thing.

7pm "we were just finishing morning rounds" LMAO

A couple of months ago, I had a rotation with an M4 who made it his mission to draw attention to my presence and see if I could leave on my behalf every evening. He's a goddamned hero.

Truer words have never been spoken. EVERYBODY, literally everybody, knows that “is there something else you need me to do” means “I’m on the verge of going home but I don’t want to give a bad impression so please, as the one with authority, validate that action”

I love that it's 7pm and the attending had just finished morning rounds. My husband had a massive brain tumor and the neurosurgeon was asked to see him in hospital. We heard all day that the specialist is in the hospital and "will see you soon". He finally saw my hubby at 8pm, by which time hubby had lost all use of the left side of his body. Neurosurgeon then yelled at a doctor that the patient should have been seen earlier! 🙄 Anyway, it all ended well. He was operated on the next day and the baseball sized meningioma was removed. It was benign, thank God.

Got labeled unprofessional because I went home sick at the same time they released all the other med students and I had already used my 12 days for the whole year taking care of my wife with ER visits and craniotomy (the day before surgery shelf exam). And since a resident forgot to track attendance they said i wasnt there when all my classmates saw me swaying in the stool on rounds trying to not fall over from being sick... so I got to go to the professionalism review board for missing too many days and get chewed out for making excuses when I literally rounded on patientsmultiple times that year while my wife was in the ER with neurological symptoms

I'm loving the med student mafia, bro! Keep coming out with the killer videos!

"You don't have the authority" alright doc, you can make the follow up appointments for your discharged patients yourself. And no passing it off for the residents to do either!

"We had just finished morning rounds." At 7pm. On a Friday. I'm not in the medical field personally, but I've been hospitalized enough times to understand how real this quote is.

I'm Non medical but I went through something similar. Ms Monster kept me working through the day only to dispose majority of my work down the bin at the end of the day, never let me have a lunch break but had hers in front of me while I worked, scoffed at me if I requested a bathroom break, kept insulting me about my looks and finally, wanted me on my feet running around at a conference after I'd already done my 12hrs. Ordered me not to sit down. I was shaking with hunger and fatigue. I sent in my resignation the next day.

If you think the new generation needs to suffer because you had to and you turned out OK, you in fact did NOT turn out OK. In addition to being hilarious, your videos are always so thought provoking. The practice of medicine today is nothing like the way it was when I trained 30 years ago, therefore the training itself also needs to adapt to the times, and become more humane.

Once we were following our Neurosurgery Chief around in the afternoon doing rounds. We were never dismissed and he went through literally 3 different wards. In the end when everything was finished he turned around and - I shit you not - asked us why we were still here. Yes. He also introduced himself with "We have too much to do right now, so you kind of have to learn by yourself". Not hard to see why neurosurgery is by far the most hated department in our uni clinic.

every time a med student gets sent home early, an angel gets its wings every time a med student gets told that there IS something else they can help with, a gene somewhere takes its second hit

Need to see a follow up on this one where Internal *doesn't* do as the Tribunal dictates and it has... consequences

*7pm* ''Morning rounds'' LOL

Hes right tho we really dont have the authority to demand being treated like humans damn.

My last couple weeks of surgery were with an attending that had me stay until 8 every day even though most of his surgeries were done by 4 in the afternoon. The reason: to personally hand his radiologist wife her lunch and dinner that I got when it was available in the physician's lounge. Oh, and I couldn't get any food for myself :)

This hit too hard. I took a day off one day as an intern because I rolled my ankle the day before and decided that limping around the ward was not it for me, and I was reported to my program director by one of the attendings and reported for "unprofessionalism". And who did my PD advocate for in that situation? Not me 🙃

in my country its the other way around. We also can't ask to go home ofc, but the residents and attending go one step further and they would 'try to send us home' by saying things like "oh you can go now if you want" and we're supposed to reply with "no no, I want to stay" or "it's fine, I'm free anyway." If we ACTUALLY LEAVE then they would mark us down as lazy/not a team player/impolite. 🙄 The few good ones that actually want us to leave on time will follow the sentence with "I'm not trying to test you. Go. There is literally nothing left for you to do. Just leave."

I'm really glad you are doing these short videos. I am not in the medical community. I had no idea exactly how awful conditions had gotten for doctors. I'm so sorry.

I approve this use of the tendon hammer

Ah yes, the old "We had to suffer ridiculous workloads/bullying/sexual harrassment/abuse when we were students, so now the next generation should suffer too." Which is like saying that nobody should ever be treated with antibiotics, because in the past people with infections had to suffer, so subsequent generations should, too.

It is ridiculous the number of hours med students/residents/et. al. are forced to work without sleep. I'm a software developer and have to work 60-80 weeks sometimes, but at least if my sleep-deprived brain makes me do something terribly wrong, people don't die. Well, at least not immediately.

Not a med student but worked in a couple factories that tried to say they were "professional" one tried to say I couldn't poop when I needed to the other fired me for getting sick. What's bad is the one that said I couldn't poop when I needed to was probably one of the best jobs I'd ever had.

Reflex hammer as a gavel, instant classic

Went from „I didn’t do anything” to „you don’t have the authority” real quick… He’s guilty and he knows it

It should be obvious, but if the continued protocol for doctoring inherently lacks self-care/self-compassion as a guiding principle, how would doctors ever have same for others? Insanity.

ahh yes I can remember doing 4 hours overtime as a med student when I asked this question still traumatized but helping with the camera in an emergency laparoscopic surgery was at least a nice experience

As an end-of-year M3, my new one is "Is there anything else you need before I head out for the day?"

“What educational opportunities did you bestow upon your med student at *7 PM on a Friday?”* “We had just finished morning rounds -“ This made me laugh so hard. XD

Asking to be sent home is almost as bad as asking to be shown a procedure once more, because it's the first time you're actually doing it on a patient. How dare we can't perform perfect lumbar puncture!

No experience in the medical field and yet I relish every one of these. Hold neurologists accountable!

Honestly, as much as I love to learn... My biggest pet peeve was when they wouldn't let us go home. And yet, in my evaluations I supposedly spend too much time with my patients? Like... What the hell do you expect me to do with this time?!?!

As a vet student I asked to go home having not slept for over 24hrs due to assisting with an emergency. In the end I stayed for another hour helping my colleagues remove the shoes from a horse in preparation for surgery. I was still branded lazy for the rotation.

Being a doctor must mean more responsibility and less rights

This hit close to home.... so close to home it's sitting on the couch next to me. As a med student, I related to this way too much

Med students get plenty of free time outside of school and the hospital. It's called studying

I hope there's a follow-up, in which he is in violation of his violation. 🤣😂

My Dad was an IM professor and attending (and had his own practice). I remember going to the hospital in the early morning and all the baby doctors following him around doing rounds on the weekend, like little ducklings with their chart clipboards. Did he still school the chief resident of the ED and diagnose MRSA on my face when he was on vacation on a boat in Ecuador? Also, yes. The dichotomy of internal medicine.

If only we could say these things to our seniors/consultants as a med student. But until now, even as a fellow in training, it still feels the same 😅

I want to see the neurologist’s reaction at using the knee hammer to adjourn the meeting. 🤭😂

Loved the casual "we just finished morning rounds" at 7PM 😂

Hilarious!!! 🤣🤣🤣 As an Internal Medicine attending I almost fainted from laughing 😂😂😂😂😂

This happened to me when I was a resident. The defendant was a cardiologist. I missed a very important appointment so we could round between 7 and 9 pm.

Too bad they couldn’t find a law student to give Internal medicine a fair trial

You are our hero, raising awareness about medical student. You are the G.O.A.T 😂😂😂😂

"Meeting Adjourned!"🤣

I literally used that same line to see if my attending would let me go home 😂😭

I think I've seen every video on this channel and now I'm sad I have no more. time to watch them again

For folks who haven’t experienced firsthand: Usually these videos are satire but this one actually feels more like a documentary… 💀

I can't wait to see the other specialties brought in front of the med student court council. I feel like Palliative care might be able to help their cause.

Bro, I absolutely love your content! So relatable!

It is not the attending who needs help, it is the struggling intern who will be grateful if you help clean up tasks at the end of the day, The intern will be more willing to teach in return and will give a good evaluation to the attending who will be grading you. Don't view this as perfunctory. Medicine is a team sport.

Posted 15 seconds ago 😌 YT notifications ain't missing today.

I remember being in ICU at UofL 23 yrs ago next month. 5:30 am the Dr who'd rebuilt my leg would come by with a gaggle of other Drs. I'd gotten into a fight with a bridge. So he rebuilt my right leg with rods and screws. I'd crushed 6" of thigh bone and compounded the tibia and fibula. I think it was a new procedure Cause he's come and say how's our miracle today.

I giggled at the reflex hammer at the end. You're just awesome, man.

As a 3rd year, can confirm

An award should also be given to those med-student-friendly specialties!

I like that new stethoscope they use to hit the book at the end there. Very nice

The med student is lucky he or she even got to ask the question. In some hospitals, it's don't talk unless spoken to. Being sent home is a privilege. If your resident forgot about you, tough luck. Make yourself visible and pray the resident gets the hint.

"7*pm* on a friday" "we just finished **morning** rounds" oh no

I know this video takes up things that are more real than they have any right to be but I giggled a bit thinking about this in comparison to my last neurological internship. The doctors at that clinic used to delegate leading rounds and compete with each other about not having to lead rounds. The two neurologists in question were both soft spoken and somewhat introverted Swedes which was a bit comical at times. However, It also filled a real purpose. Them taking a step back allowed for more Peoples input to be considered while also giving them more room to adress bigger picture decision making. I have not learned more during 8 weeks at any point before or after. I respected them so much. They were so Good at their jobs and they made everyone else better too. I did however question my sanity the first time I lead a patient planning meeting with the head doctor sitting next to me😅

tommy the menacing med student might be my new favorite character

First day of my final year starts tomorrow. Been fantastic overall, but I will place the med student council on speeddial as my backup... just incase 😎

Meeting adjourned! Cried at the reflex hammer 👨🏻‍⚖️

"I don't need any help right now, but stick around and I'll come get you when I do." Message from attending 3 hours later: "You can go home if you want."

LMAOOOOO, thank you for speaking up for us in a funny way🤣🤣🤣🤣

Hello Doc!!!! You just reminded me of my undergrad days 😄

Yaya a new video. This made my day.

I love how he took the hood off himself. The DEDICATION!!

Finishing morning rounds in internal medicine at 7:00pm, that is hilarious😂

This is a good argument for making medicine a second career. When you've already had one successful career, and are now pursuing your dream of being a doctor, you are older, more confident, and less susceptible to workplace politics + manipulation.

"We had just finished morning rounds" 😂😂😂

i nearly completely missed the joke of "we had just finished morning rounds" after they said the time was 7pm XD

Med student mafia vs neurosurgeon next please!

Oh this tribunal would be the best present EVER!🥰🥳💕🤣

That meeting adjourned! With knee hammer was 😂😂

“We had just finished morning rounds…” Lolol!

fresh cut lookin' good, doc!

In Jonathan we trust

"they're med students of course they're gonna overthink" Rounds... Attending: what's your diagnosis? med student: rapidly replaying every embarrassing past conversation and interaction with that attending while speed-clawing through tangled neural pathways with his disconnected body doing a perfect deer-caught-in-headlights imitation without breathing. 😷

Bought a Jonathan candle. Love it. It’s in my office at Mayo Clinic in FL. My own loyal scribe.

Unrelated: we need a "how to ace your neurology residency interview" tutorial (!) as well - and may be some content on pediatric specialties!

My dream conversation!

Damn, they're going to send neurology to the chair

Can't wait for the next episode lol 👍

I love the pissy frown screenshot capture he has before you push play- My middle son had that same pouting lip, jutting jaw, screwed together eyes and clenched fist from birth to a much more hirsute- faced present. Priceless 😂

FINISHING MORNING ROUNDS AT 7PM THIS PART IS NOT EVEN A JOKE.

I’ve been very lucky I guess. So far I’ve been able to go home on time. When I was doing hospital IM, our preceptor was often done rounding by 10 AM and we could leave when we felt like it pretty much.

One of my favorite videos 😂

can't wait having a med student following me around so i can protect their sweet little innocent hearts

the "we just finished morning rounds" hit me like a freight train

One time I was waiting like a good boy for the attending to finish talking with his colleague so I could ask to be dismissed, and he then turned to me and asked "you want me to give you a sock Dobby ? " and I was like "Yes, so I can finally be a free elf!!!" Chillest attending i've ever had
