The problem is social workers are underutilized because many don't understand their real function in the medical community. I've seen so many times they weren't included in these critical situations and then ending up having to be the only person who can untangle the birds nest that was created by everyone else.

When i first became disabled, after my..5th? Hip surgery, social worker was visiting to clarify my rehab hospital stay. She noticed my wheelchair was REALLY old (i had an rx for one, but they're EXPENSIVE) She decided to get me a "new" one (used, for like 2 weeks by someone who then donated it) she surprised me with it while i was waiting for transport the rehab(nursing) hospital.i cried, it was so awesome! Social workers and case managers are not just necessary for so many of us, but often they're VERY awesome. Thanks for showing it! And thanks to all you social workers and case managers! Ps: babies are generally gross too lol

I showed this to the social worker that covers my floor in the hospital and we were both laughing so hard!! It was so funny and accurate. Thanks for the laughs, from an icu nurse

Lmaoooooo social work is the best. I’m a nurse and they make miracles happen. Some of our discharges can be so tricky and they make shit happen 😇. Our interdisciplinary rounds end up as a lot of that gossipy chatter but stuff gets done because social work knows what they’re doing lol

Social workers are my favorite people in the hospital! They save my ass on a daily basis, and they are just lovely people

Aaaay! Social work appreciation. My Mum's a social worker and you couldn't find a harder worker. She used to work in welfare here in Australia and dealt with chronic understaffing (sometimes she was the only in-person social worker servicing hundreds of thousands of people) and general terrible treatment (she was underpaid, extremely overworked, micromanaged and they refused to even take responsibility for an overwork injury she got from them) . Everyone who walked through the door in crisis went to her pretty much. She did everything from convince people over the phone to not commit suicide, to helping men and women escape DV situations and get the help they needed, to providing documentation for court cases. She counselled and looked our for countless homeless young people, had tens of thousands of dollars of welfare debt wiped from someone who needed the money, and had to coordinate between endless different services across the entirety of the country. She is a badass.

Okay as a social worker in medical I am almost in tears that you took the time to recognize our role. Thank you so much!!! ❤️

My fiancé is a social worker and I love him to bits. Without social workers, our medical care system would collapse

As a Social Worker/Case Manager in the medical field, this is SO accurate, as are all of your videos! Thank you for the insightful entertainment!

My best friend is a social worker (not in hospital, but still) and they are SO underappreciated!!

I am going into university for Social Work in September so this video was very neat. It is really cool to see all of the different job opportunities that fall under the social work umbrella.

Being a single full time father of two and my oldest is disabled and his care team and social worker have helped me so much. They can be life savers too!

My mom’s been a social worker for near 30 years and from what Ive heard, this couldn’t be more accurate

How do you put out so much excellent content, crazy

Thank you hospital social worker ❤️❤️ thank you for taking such good care of me when my son was in the NICU. They made sure I had a food card/food allowance covered by insurance for meals everyday we were there, they got us think blankets when I said I was cold in the hospital, they made sure I had transportation for the babies follow up appointments when they were discharged. Will never forget y’all

I'm a social worker from Brazil and it is amazing to see how much accurate this is for my work place as well!! Seems like we're always the ones that know all the gossip while also knowing everything about the patients or clients and their families, what is the best thing for them, how to make it happen AND how to interact and communicate with all groups of people on the work place while being prepared for all possible scenarious. It's a lot but we got it 😅 (sorry for my bad english)

Social workers will save your life!!! They take a situation where most people would say “that sucks for you” & find a solution for you!. Whether it’s health care, mental health, financial issues, domestic violence, disability, poverty, education, adoption, etc,etc. These ppl are the support system for others & often have to be their own support. So much love & respect for them. 🤍

My mom, a social worker: 😀👍🏼

As a medical social worker, we thank you kindly sir 😂😂😂

It's awesome to see some social work representation in these humorous medical videos! Also, I sent this to every medical social worker I've ever worked with in the past 5 years. On point!

My social worker that I see at the hospital has helped me so much in so many different ways. As a patient I was and am incredibly grateful. 😊

Social worker at Hopkins and I can tell you this is pretty accurate PS- I do love baby pictures and gross ones too 😂😂

Im a Social Worker and my mum is a Nurse, I love these skitsAnd those two chatting about baby pics and tooth aches Are so real

This is so accurate! I am so grateful for the incredible LCSW’s who cover our main hospitals, especially the crisis workers!

I'm in grad school for my MSW, and this made my day 🥰

Dude you hit the nail on the head with this one lmaoooo

I'm a social worker and this is on point!😊

WE GET A SHOUTOUT!!!! Was talking to a nurse who was like "I dont care that security said 'I can see that this person needs psych care' - I only care about your assessment"! Lol. Courteously of a Psych Emergency Clinician

As a case manager I FEEL this way sometimes... useless and then a super hero 😂

My daughter just started college for social work...SOOO proud of her ❤

Hospital social workers are fantastic! Patients or family members can ask them for just about anything. They’re extremely helpful and caring. It can change everything to have one on your case♥️ True heroes!

Poor Mr Jones ,constantly in the hospital

Yes I am a social worker, this is accurate

I really needed to hear that last line today!!

Damn right! Social workers do so much but based on my hospital placement as a student I can say few people know what we but somehow also think we can do anything.

Dude, you make me laugh like #JeanieWeenie, the Korean former flight attendant. She's amazing. After being my late husband's caregiver for 7 of our 21 years together, as well as a patient myself for various serious issues, you being able to make me laugh is a blessing I can't describe. Thank you.

As a specialist, I highly value the social workers and anticipate early what would be needed for discharge so as to not overburden them 🙂

The smiles is what got it for me🤣🤣🤣

We have a Karen in case management and she's an absolute God send. If Karen can't get it done, no one can.

Social work is the best, when my mom was in the hospital a few years back they set her up with Medicaid asap and she barely had to pay a thing

You are the bomb. You make me laugh during this crazy time.

I’m an LCSW and felt my blood pressure rising on this…. nice save at the end

Truth haha. I think at my hospital there's so many role overlaps that people get confused... for example... I'm called a clinician and my primary role is therapy, psychosocial assessments, treatment plans and family meetings. I'm a social worker (LMSW-CC). We have discharge planners that function as case managers (ish) and are magic. To be a clinician you don't need an MSW, you can be an LCPC... they get called social workers all the time when they are not.... and I always have to correct patients because on one hand, I am a social worker but I don't function as one on unit despite doctors thoughts lol

Having worked in Social Work, I know how difficult it is to make arrangements for the patient, and give an update on the personal lives of other employees at the same time. But it can be done! ❤️🙄😯🤗😌❤️

Very chatty middle-aged women who always come thru in the clutch. One of the few people in the hospital treating patients and not problems

As a retired nurse and retired assistant social worker I thank you;

Im so glad the last line was there

I was a social worker and now I’m a nurse lol 😂 this is on point!

Used to work in the ED. I swear social workers are angels from on high! I find it best to always keep chocolate where you can get to it to bring every time you need to speak with social work in person. Gotta have that positive reinforcement associated with them seeing you!

Social Worker here! Get this S done!

Yeap!! I've had more than one social worker and they can be REALLY hit or miss. I think it's because the SW handling of their jobs affects the client so intensely that it feels like a miracle has occured if they manage to handle it correctly. This profession is made to support some of the most under-served ( not un- deserved!) folks. They tend to be vulnerable and since getting a helpful SW is so hit or miss so many people fall through the cracks. Then they keep falling. For sure you see people like this everyday but you may not know it.

I tried to ignore this but i cant. Youre funny. Please do physical therapy version. I would love to see it😂😂😂😂😂

My 3 roommates in college were social work students. God bless them they really provide 200% for the greater good and get little compensation for it 😭

Thank you for made this video.. it encourage my self with my working field as social work that other will understand social work little magic 😊

Thanks for the shout out !! Social worker who used to be a nurse here !!!

This was literally how it was for me during internship... And our community know how to smooze people 😊

As a social worker I agree. Love 💕 this video

Lmaooo SWs are heroes without capes. So under appreciated

I’m always back and forth with social workers. But honestly they’re still underrated.

When I was in the psych ward and needed housing the social worker was like your budget is $600 get on kijiji and that was it

I cant believe you only have 12.3k subscribers. You're so hilarious!!! I am a nurse so these skits are really fun to watch.

That turn at the end was the reality lol but also I’ve never seen such a straight forward doctor regarding needs but then I realized it was the resident intern doctor lol

When I worked in MedSurg I loved loved loved our SWKer she was amazing!

Retired medial social worker. i loved our Docs, worked very well with them. Loved that they came to me with the tough problems.

Yaaaaaas everyone hates us until we solve all of the problems in 2.5 seconds flat!

To be fair… if you just read my note you’d have all this information. 😂

Social workers make the magic happen.

I was a "Care Coordinator" which meant I was Monica 😆

Workers like Monica give you a bit of hope

Love your sense of humor

Kudos on your honesty *and* humility. That's not easy. 👊

I like how he does lady characters too!

This makes me glad and also scared that I'm going into billing and coding lol

I'm a social worker... I love you so much for this

Absolutely! Every time I get a new social worker grid it already is inaccurate. Half of them are working from home and the rest are on some kind of leave

I'm a social worker, do mostly counseling in a clinical setting, and I gotta say this is so accurate lol however there is no way I could get a client approved at two nursing homes in one day, the wait lists here in Toronto are years long 😞

I have so much respect for social workers.

There's always one person that's on top of it all, it's just a matter of finding that person bc they're always running around.

Social workers get crap done. They are so underappreciated. I've only ever met one woman who was rude and she only was rude to bc I was a teenager. But every social worker I've met otherwise was so kind and got stuff done.

Social work is one of the hardest working departments I've ever seen in a hospital!

Look forward to seeing your channel blow up Dr. Schmidt, don't stop!

The $29,000 of debt was totally worth getting my degree in social work ❤, I just wish everyone else saw how hard it really is in our field....especially now with Covid-19!

Social workers behave that way in other settings too lmao.

"OMG I gotta see the baby pics" - so relatable!

Aww! Social workers rock! 🖤🔥🤘

Just discovered your channel. Landed on a gold mine for content and inspiration. Great skits haha.

Aww, flattery will get you everywhere, Doc. Thanks! 😊

As the kid of a social worker I can confirm this is exactly what happens but with more mentions of baby pics and children

The social worker wearing a denim jacket is too accurate

Please please please more OT 😭

The social workers at our home health agency are godsends

I’m an RN who’s in love with a social worker (my bf) haha. I consult MSW whenever it’s needed!! Social work can help so much and I don’t get why so many providers are hesitant to get them on board

Social worker here…yay so excited to even have the profession mentioned! And in a positive light! My ofc is literally in a closet in the ER. 🤦‍♀️🤷‍♀️😂

Flashbacks from my psych rotation 😂😂

The levels of truth here!!!! Ugh!

He looks so good with that hair! Lol BTW.. preeetty accurate 😅😅😅

I do this all of the time at the hotel where I work with specific people where I'd ask them to do something for me because I was busy and instead they drag out a conversation I can't have right now then I cut the conversation early to finish what I am doing and she gets everything done in minutes and I am like "WHAT!" There are just some people who have surprising work ethic

Amen, we get it done!

This... Is a daily experience for me at work... 😭 At an Oncology clinic...

I'm amazed by the speed of the speech!!! 😂
