I really needed to make this video I’m getting a haircut today

Oh my goodness - I am a neurologist and I was literally yelling "none of those are the right one!" when he opened his reflex hammer box - and then he selected the correct one "Queen square" all the way baby! I actually let out a sigh of relief.

"Kristin, I need you to clear out your jewelry box so I can put a bunch of reflex hammers in it."

Fun fact: Med student's tears are a great source of electrolytes for a growing neurologists brain

These videos have conditioned me to think that if a neurologist makes me feel like an idiot only *half* the time, then I definitely got the nice one

“I neither have the time nor the crayons to explain the STT to you” is maybe one of the most incredible lines of dialogue ever put to film

For a minute, I thought the neurologist was smiling in the mirror! 😱 Then I realized he was just testing his facial reflexes, and I relaxed.

I am a neurologist and I confirm that everything in this video is 100% accurate. It’s like hearing myself on the phone

I love how the neurologist has a portrait of himself on proud display on the bookshelf 😂

My neurologist is pain management and palliative care. The palliative care side suppresses the neurologist in him and he ends up being the only nice and compassionate neurologist I’ve had.

Please be sure to have a dentist instruct the neurologist on how to brush his teeth correctly. I’d love to see that one!

I like to think Dr Glaucomflecken uses these videos to test how much medical-related knowledge he's retained over the years. Probably finishes his script/ends his video and thinks to himself 'Oh yeah, I still got it'.

Neurologist here. I love these videos! I was on consults in residency, and I asked the primary physician if he had checked the patient’s cranial nerves. He said that he checked the ones he knew. I laughed on the inside, as I appreciated the honesty!

I love how he pours some "student tears" and then remembers that there's more from where they came from so pours generously even more

As a neurology resident I can confirm that the checks are our daily neuro care routine

I will never forget the time on rounds when my attending had forgotten her reflex hammer, and I, the eager med student, volunteered mine for use. She turned, looked at it, saw it was the basic triangle one, and went, "ew!" with a little shudder. She then borrowed the resident's good one.

“I don’t have the time nor the crayons…” lord have mercy with your permission/prior auth. this phrase is entering my lexicon 😂😅👏😭

One of our on-call neurology consultants made the mistake of coming into the ER one weekend, purely to belittle a junior about a referral. Three patients decided to crash at the same time he was there. We were already really short-staffed and he did like to tell everyone about how "great" and "superior" his medical skills were... His look of utter horror as, completely out of his depth, he was dragged into resus (his ego wouldn't let him run...) and attempted to lead a crash call - only to be regularly scolded by the nursing staff (including a newly qualified) - will stay with me forever 😂 That image of his existential crisis is my happy place 😍😎 He also no longer picks on anyone who witnessed his "moment"... Especially the two of us who stabilised our patient and then ran in, full throttle, to take over from him before he killed his patient. A few months later, he did try to start being a d1ck again, with a comment about me "needing a neurology refresher" so I asked him, as we were discussing interspecialty training, if he'd like to come and spend some time in the department to do an ALS "refresher". He just accepts my referrals now. I love it when he's on call! 😂😂

I won’t lie I was a little proud of myself for recognizing which cranial nerves he was checking with each test during the morning routine 😂

As a vascular neurologist, I hate when the penumbra screams for help. I approve this message

"See I can also contribute nonsense to this conversation' - That one got me laughing pretty good

Oh my god, this explains my neurologist’s immediate interest in my left handedness. I was like “Whoa there buddy, not on the first date, relax.” 😅

I’m so happy you included “Absence seizures in a 40 year old”, “A&Ox4”, and the fear of giving tPA to a patient who needed it when they came through the door 70 minutes ago. I hope your short video brings great change to the world.

"That's the penumbra screaming for help" is something I'm going to carry forward into my practice

"I have neither the time nor the crayons necessary to explain" has entered my lexicon of useful phrases. Thank you.

And PS: while I was at my recent visit the neurologist he asked if I had any other questions and I said yes, “I’m a big fan of Dr Glaukomflecken!… Are you?” 😊 and he said he was!! True story 😂

His videos have actually improved my notes. I no longer *always* have things in my notes that specialists read and snicker at.

He wakes up in a tie.😀

Dr G is amazing at getting to the core of things and portraying reality in a funny way. I saw a farmer and his wife in my transplant clinic last week. We were chatting at the end of the visit, and I introduced them to the video on the “Farmer Pain Scale”. They were both dying laughing at how accurate the portrayal was and immediately sent links to all their fellow farmers!

I just finished my neuro class and I love that I actually know what all the words he said meant!

I just had my neurology rotation (im a med student from Turkey) and it made me appreciate the neurologist character wayyyy more. so accurate, laughed out loud. unbelievable how universal these are.

I’m a neurologist and I approve this message

higher cortical functions : obviously 🤣🤣🤣

I have had 3 different neurologists. (Seriously people. Traumatic brain injury is a real thing, especially when it’s permanent. Move the stepladder!) Two have made this Neuro look sweet. The current one is absolutely fabulous and doesn’t treat me like an idiot. So refreshing.

I’ve watched so many of these videos in the last 3 days that I’m genuinely starting to think that each character is a distinct person and not just one guy….

I'm a psychiatrist, and I'm pretty sure I'm the weird stuff doctor :D

I recently had to see a neurologist for some unsettling hearing symptoms I was having and honestly he was the nicest person I've ever met in my life

Every time he puts on the lensless frames, I think "why would I wear contacts? My eyes are perfect"

Im waiting for the weekly neurologist meeting where they sample the tears and compare levels of stupidity (think wine moms crossed with sommeliers)

Performing self-neurologic examinations every morning is gold 👌👌

I’ve known one great neurologist(Dr. Hamilton was an excellent teacher) and one crazy neuroanatomy teacher. Dr. Chronister, RIP, would act out every stroke, every gait disorder you ever heard of and many I’ve never seen again, and every neuro deficit you could imagine. Watching him bounce from one side of the room to the other was amazing! Why don’t you send the stuck up neurologist back to school? See how much his neuroanatomy teacher can trip him up.

I'm shrieking in utter amusement the whole way through. So accurate. I'm PM&R and would not use anything but the last reflex hammer. This is such a masterpiece.

You are such a good actor! You become a different person with just a slight change of posture and facial expression. Impressive

Best quote ever: "do you hear that? That's the penumbra screaming for help!"

Oh man, so many flashbacks! I was a healthyish kid until suddenly I wasn't at age 13. Ended up spending 40 hours a week at different doctors' offices for years. At the pediatric neurologist's office, my mom and I gimped along through a hallway to get to the exam room, passed two guys just as one was telling the other with barely contained rage, "I HATE kids!" Yes, that turned out to be my doctor and no, we didn't just catch him on a bad day. He really was actually at least as bad as he sounds. Thankfully, I have met other neurologists since then and they have all seemed like they deserve congeniality trophies by comparison.

I would pay money to see a nurse preceptor or a charge nurse have a 'small conversation ' with Neurology about how he made the new nurses cry and afraid to speak to him. I want to see a mama bear defending her little cubs lol

I have epilepsy. Juvenile Myoclonus Epilepticus, diagnosed at 10 when I almost drowned in the bathtub. I have absence, myoclonic, and tonic clonic seizures that are well controlled with meds, acupuncture, medicinal herbs and lifestyle. It was cool being able to understand all the neurologist said here and know why he was asking the questions he was. The question doctors never ask me: what do the seizures feel like when you have them? Its actually an intense release of emotional and physical tension so yes Im exhausted but it's a gauge for how well I have or haven't been taking care of myself. So now I haven't had them because I keep that in mind. I think just telling ppl to manage their stress doesnt always land because its so vague. Explaining that your brain processes it differently than everyone else and that if stress isnt managed seizures will occur emphasizes how vital it is in a way that is digestible. Food for thought.

I am just excited by the portrayal of a doctor who is excited and prepared to be on call.

"Oh I'm the weird stuff doctor? I guess you're the 'I don't know what I'm doing' doctor" Even surgery ain't gonna heal dat sick burn. 😂

Can we get the dentist to chime in on how the neurologist is brushing his teeth wrong?

Neuromuscular neurologist here - muscle stretch reflexes NOT deep tendon reflexes! Yessssss! I won't stop smiling for a week

The Queen reflex hammer was such a great detail and is 100% accurate.

i’d love to see a vid of the neurologist having all his questions answered perfectly and he just stands there in shock

The way you displayed the props for this neurology-inspired video are elegant and amazing. I died laughing!

As someone who works in neuro, this is surprisingly accurate and I like it.

Left-handedness turns 80year old patients with aphasia and mild weakness of the left limbs from "probably just dehydration" into "oh my god, every minute counts we need imaging stat and someone call the stroke nurse to prepare the rt-PA"

its amazing there are so many doctors sitting on u tube watching this! i should probably be on my EMR working...

Jonathan milked those tears out of the med students nodding all the way!

Our ER only has Tele-Neuro, it's kind of wonderful because you just send the company a report of what you're concerned about and the nurses roll the big computer and monitor into the room and the neurologist does their evaluation and contacts you with their recommendations. Avoids lots of....unhelpful discussions.

Gotta love that fresh off queue scent of a new Glaucomflecken video! :-D Brightens my day!

The nephrologist would not approve of his increased sodium intake from drinking med student tears all day long.

No idea about what was just discussed, but the snark factor was on point. You just made my Sunday morning happier ❤

This is so funny! Whatever the circular reflex hammer is, my neurosurgeon loves that thing and won't test reflexes without it. My first appointment, her poor PA tried to use a stethoscope for reflexes and she walked in midway and gave such a look 😂. The stethoscope as a reflex hammer disapproval is real!

I love the neurologist so much. It's just so hilariously extreme in the stereotype. And who doesn't love Grieg? "I'm the weird stuff doctor" lol

I met my first neurologist today. The most pretentious person I've ever met, and I was sorely tempted to ask him if he's ever watched Dr. Glauc xD

"That's the penumbra screaming for help." Time is brain, people!!!!!

Working as a transfer center operator, all we ever heard our on call neurologist say was "give them a loading dose of keppra and have them contact the clinic tomorrow " 😂

The sky is orange, my feet are hamburgers!!!! 🤣🤣🤣🤣 That's a good one!!!

This is great he goes from exited to hear case to roasting doctors.

Gotta say, those first 30 seconds really hit different while recovering from a concussion. I'm like "I also do those exercises every morning"

It gives me immense pleasure to just sit back watch how your great sense of humour is making my brain giggle, your videos are addiction worthy I lovvvvvve it!!!!!!!!

GAH. This the spirit of our on call dearly departed neurologist circa 1992. The ED docs drew staws to see who'd have to deal with him. At least this one has a weird charm about him. Our had a slime coat of smug.😂

The neurologist remains my favorite toon. Might be the hair, glasses, or expression(s) but this character looks the most unique with the helmeted ER doc coming in second. This channel also made me look up what a "Queen's Square" is, which is a nice piece of info to amaze/bore my colleagues in engineering.

Lol, dude really did a neuro PE on himself for his morning routine.

You are funnier than 99% of actual professional comedians. Incredible talent lol

There is something both relaxing and warped about seeing Neurology happy in his natural habitat, powered by the sweet taste of med student's tears. Like an Apex Predator limbering up for their next meal. Oh, and the 'weird' call was from ER, right? 😂

He knew we needed more neurologist roasting, and he delivered.

Not the hair style with the med student tears 😂😂😂

A neurologist just made a judgment call that saved my life. I love the entire profession!

It’s a worry when these videos actually teach you things you’re doing wrong 😂👀

When he drank the med student tears I spat out my drink. Hilarious!!

That hair… such attention to detail in a 2 min skit wasn’t necessary but is truly appreciated 😂👍🏼

And here I thought the rheumatologists were the weird stuff doctors. 😂

A young resident neurologist actually discovered I have carpal tunnel while talking about my migraines with the pin prick test. Deeply appreciate that.

Nephrology would approve of med student tears. High in salt.

I laughed so hard when he started doing the finger nose test while brushing 😂😂😂😂😂😂

I love how he wakes up in a shirt and tie.

Loved the Med student tears, but really cracked up when he testing his eye / hand coordination in the mirror.

I mean… he seems about as helpful as every neurologist I’ve ever seen.

Neurologist has been getting a lot of love recently

And here I always thought my father’s air of condescension and sharp humor were unique to him. Apparently it goes with the profession!

We love the taste of fresh med student tears in the morning.

Reaching for the Babinski, the sign of a true professional

Dr.Glaucomflecken, your comedic mind is brilliant. You make me laugh out loud every single day! Thank you from this RN, who has had a 40 years career and counting……

The sarcasm is *chef's kiss* just really great comedy! I don't really understand what he's saying but the way he says it makes me laugh.

I absolutely LOVE your skits!! Please keep them up! It's my daily dose of funny!!!!

I like to watch neurologists cry when I pull out the ketamine cream for nerve pain.

I am seeing a new neurologist soon and started doing some research about them. I found their Twitter account and this is one of their re tweets. I have followed you for years and this knowledge made me feel better about my appointment. Thank Doc!

This is the only doc that isn’t ripped straight out of my hospital, I swear. The neurology team are some of the nicest, most helpful people that come to our unit. Neurosurgery, on the other hand…!

So many med student tears there must be dried out husks left!😂😂
