If Glaucomflecken is medical humour for non-medical people, then you are humour for medical people by medical people.

So in conclusion the surgery resident is not a bad guy after all, he's just an overworked, sleep deprived, busy fella who needs a break I feel him because I am one

This was a lot more wholesome than I was expecting for the gen surgery residents. Guess it's important to remember they are people too. Everyone needs a cake pop sometimes.

When he gave the gen surgeon a cake pop, I legit started tearing up. This is art

Just got off four weeks of gen surg and those residents are EXHAUSTED. I thought everyone hated me until I walked past two of them the week after and they stopped to say hi to me. Turns out they just needed a weekend of sleep :,)

When i was a med student rotating on gen surg, I gave my fellow a granola bar because she told me she had not eaten all day and she was so touched she let me be her first assist. Tiny human gestures hit hardest when you feel like a forgotten cog in the medicine machine.

I am another a general surgery resident who teared up watching this and I think this is actually the first video of yours I ever saw back when it was first posted. Thank you for seeing us

The change in how you get treated when they suddenly see you as a human being

Damn that hit me a little in the feels. Shittiest thing is surgery residents get paid like shit for someone that gives up their life to open up and fix people.

Pure gold at 1:50-1:54. The look over the shoulder nailed the disillusionment every resident feels at some point in their training

As a USMLE student who has no other life but studying…I live for these videos and wait every day for them to come.

Gosh the end 😢 gen surg residents were some of the coolest people once they opened up a bit

Aw when he smiles from the cake pop 💔

Dude your videos are so on point 😂 I get a delightful combo of amusement and PTSD

I've never been to med school, but I do have a couple stories about surgeons from when I worked at a hospital, and I want to help improve engagement statistics or whatever by leaving a comment: There was one surgeon who was always whistling Christmas carols, regardless of the season. It was easy to tell when he was coming down the halls. Now that I think about it, the only time I saw him *not* whistling a Christmas carol was in December. There was a large middle eastern population in our area. I remember one time when I was bringing a stretcher back to PACU, I saw two middle eastern surgeons walking in opposite directions. As they passed, one turned around and said "Hey! What do you call an Iranian from the UK? A Ukrainian!". The other one didn't laugh. I only spoke to a surgeon directly on two occasions (people with degrees more advanced than nursing generally didn't acknowledge Transport, and most of the communication on my end involved trying to get the attention of hospitalists who were standing in the middle of the hall in the ED). In both cases, it was to transport a patient from MRI to PACU. I'm not sure exactly what procedure was being done -- I only saw it twice in nine months -- but it was the same surgeon both times, and he was clearly out of his element: didn't know where to put away the box of supplies, &c. He told me we had to stop at the pharmacy on the way to PACU, and it wasn't until we made a few turns that I realized he meant the *inpatient* pharmacy. I brought patients to the family pharmacy all the time, but had never been to the inpatient pharmacy and had no idea where it was. It worked out, though, because the surgeon knew the way. He had no idea how to get to PACU afterwards, but that was where I came in; I made a joke to the effect that, between the two of us, we formed a complete person who knew where they were going. He didn't laugh.

As a Gen surgical registrar with a caffeine habit, I can confirm this is hilariously / depressingly accurate content! Love these POV vids 👍😂

I love how this dude was so happy as soon as he got some choclate in his system.

Im a general surgery resident and I felt this video in my heart like you cant imagine

Competitive and caffeine addiction this is too real

The accuracy of this shit is fuckin crazy lol. Brings me back to clerkship with the stressed as fuck but good hearted gen surg residents.

Gen surgery residents need the cake pop more than literally anyone else in the medical field. 😢

This piece of art made me feel a lot, thank you

Yes. And yes. Especially when they speak to you with the exhausted tone lol

You gotta do one for us former scribes who were assigned to the ER docs lol. “You can go get us coffee if you want” *deletes my entire note*

The cake pop made me tear up.

Came here to laugh at my plight so why am I tearing up at the cake pop scene?

Good LORD these skits are incredible.

All your job is to make sure his cheeks, don't touch my cheeks 😂😂😂😂

"yeah you paged us" is spot on

Just went on my first general surgery rotation and my registrar told me exactly that "only do surgery if you don't like anything else"

This is again, quality content. Don't stop!

The way the surgeon smiled seeing the cake pop, my heartttt 🥺🥺 also im surprised at how many similarities there are between him and the surgeons ive studied under, guess theyre all just tired and misunderstood and need a cake pop once in a while

the birthday card is such a good detail

"Just say necrotic" great foreshadowing

Everyone on my surgery rotation is just weird enough to pick up on it Lol

Nice. Always makes my day when you post these.

so accurate, I bet you were a favorite on your rotations 😊

The acting is so good

These videos are excellentttt

so after having watched all your other PoV medical content, i think we finally figured out you’re a gen surge resident.

The tumbler 🤣🤫

I love the perianal abscess part---make sure his cheeks don't touch my cheeks---brilliant!

THis is absolute gold.

I love your videos !! You have to do neurology soon!!

I sound dead on the phone when I call back your consult but it's not you, it's the sleep deprivation lol

i don’t get the tumbler bit at the end

This is so true about surgical residents 🤣🤣🤣🤣

Consider doing a data download from TikTok so there isn’t a TT logo watermark on your videos. Other platforms won’t give reach to videos with other platform logo watermarks. You are making 🔥🔥🔥 content tho! 👍

"Who owns this G-tube?" Can confirm that is literally what we ask whenever we get a G-tube consult

Missed Gen Surg mumbling into a phone.

Do cardiology next! 😂

Cake pop changed his moood😂

LMAO the caffeine pills

Ok but what was in the tumbler/where did the tumbler come from??? I need to know!!

"POV youre on call with the cardiology fellow" next? 👌

My god this is incredible 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

😍preston is cute

can someone please explain the tumbler joke at the end, I don't get it :')

Please do family medicine!

Which residency program are you actually undertaking?

As a medical assistant working into surgical nursing... Idk if im inspired to go harder or to quit quicker... legit don't know.

@itspresro What is your actual specialty?

is that true? is EVERYTHING competitive?

what's the joke about the tumbler?

Accurate

Why do we make this so hard? Is it historical? Is it because it was hard for the surgical attendings and program directors? Is there no better way to learn? Is there no better way to run a hospital? Cheap labor? Seriously, is there a better way to get from student to fellowship or gen surg attending?

I could barely hear anything he was saying

As a third year medical student on my general surgery rotation, I once followed the surgery chief resident around all day because he left his phone at home, so I was fielding all the texts from his wife who was sitting at home monitoring his phone so he wouldn’t miss anything important. That man took me the long way around when we were walking back from the outpatient surgery center to the main hospital just so we could specifically swing by a wall made up of clear windows with a view of the garden outside because “this is the only time I get to see the sun.” Not even to actually go outside, just so we could look out the window at some sunlight and greenery for a few seconds as we walked past it. That was the exact moment I decided I was absolutely definitely NOT going into surgery 🥲

verified this is freakishly accurate (in week 9 of a 12 week surgery rotation)
