Well, it would go one of two ways. They just tell him, or they play along and send him somewhere else on his quest. The question becomes how long can it go on before it crashes.
"Honey what did you say you need? A fallopian tube?! Ahummmm..and who sends you? Well, tell him that we just ran out of those, but if he keep sending you here, we will go down and check what tubes he have".
Oh my goodness. Im a med student now, but 6 or 7 years ago, I was an ER volunteer, such stressful memories. I was a lone operator! Nobody took me under their wing, I just walked around the waiting room and tried to help people, or went into rooms of people the orderlies said could use some company. Sometimes I brought people stuff like a toothbrush or a blanket, help them call a taxi or a family member, or they'd give me money and I'd go buy them a good coffee or meal from one of the restaurants in the hospital. I almost never talked to any nurses, mostly I would ask the orderlies where stuff was! It was definitely a bit touch and go and I'd always be worried of getting in the staff's way but I think I made life easier for a few people here and there!
I can’t believe I’ve never heard of this before!! ER volunteering sounds like such a great way to help people. As an guy apsiring to do medicine, I really want to try this. Thanks Steve!!
Honestly I was laughing so hard, because I knew Dale might fail the last one. I totally thought the Dale would come back and show a frozen box, and say "Delivery didn't have one, so they told me to head to Surgery, and they got me one!"
I love his different characters, although I know it is all himself, I see them as different people!! Hilarious and brilliant. Thanks for the laughs. Much appreciated.
You guys do know that they are his coworkers right? He just plays them because of hospital regulations of no filming coworkers. I am pretty sure he explained that in a video he made.
Steve's a talented & funny guy; glad his standup career is going well. I also enjoy Drew Talbert's restaurant related channel; he plays all the characters ( servers, cooks, & cursestomers..) & his wife helps w/writing & costuming. Worth a look:)!
I remember the volunteer in surgery recovery during my stay. I was feeling pretty sick and vulnerable so I didn't want to talk to anyone really but I remember this little old lady next to me. The volunteer was able to give her the time and the company she desperately needed. She knew the area and the goings on so was able to fill in the little old lady in on local news and just give her the stimulation she desperately needed. The nurses (understandably) didn't have time for gossip or chat, but she was so lonely. I thought that alone was incredibly sweet. I had my curtains closed around my bed so I could pretend I was in my own little world, every time a nurse or surgeon came over the check on me they'd open the curtains then leave them wide open when going off. I don't blame them, they're busy and probably in auto pilot but I was in too much pain to get up and close them. The volunteer made it their own little mission to close my curtains everytime they saw them open. Always with a smile. Probably is annoying to be stalked around by someone with no medical knowledge in the hectic ER but there definitely is a space for volunteers in the hospital.
They wouldn't have got me with "fallopian tube!" Well before puberty I was already reading the Sex Ed books Mom bought for my older sister (who didn't read them), so I knew everything about baby-making except for the act itself. And I taught the girls of the big Catholic family across the street because they really wanted to know. (They were probably all the better for it.) The subtleties of them being Catholic went completely over my head as a child of 8.
In my high school anatomy and physiology class, we were studying fertilization, and the teacher asked for a volunteer to go over to the next class and say that we just made a zygote in class. A girl volunteered, and her twin brother asked if he could go with her. Having a brother and sister telling a class that they just made a zygote in class couldn't have looked good. 🤣
We never had volunteers when I worked in ER. When I was training in pathology the department thought it’d be a good PR move to invite members of the public to visit a pathology laboratory and see how it worked. I got landed with a group of 3 older ladies in our dissection area. Thought I’d show them an appendix. One by one they passed out. It was like geriatric dominoes.
i’ve been to the hospital so many times that i’d think i’d meet a hospital volunteer if they existed lol i met a lot of med students but never any volunteers
There were volunteers in hospitals back in the 1970's and before. I was a volunteer for a little while, but there were more dedicated volunteers called candy - stripers (their uniform was red and white striped) who helped nurses and were kind of proto - nurses. But that changed in the 1980's when patient information privacy became more of a thing, and you can't really trust a teen with patient information. Them came HIPAA and no more volunteers.
I was lucky enough to volunteer on an ER floor where all the nurses and EMTs were super nice and helpful. They knew that the volunteers were there to do what they can and also observe, so they would ask us if we wanted to help with something or just watch even though they probably didn't need it lmao. After that experience, I love nurses and EMTs. They're mostly all super humble and hard-working
Fun fact I learned in hydrotherapy. If you have a burn and you run it under warmish water then Luke warm water and then just a bit cooler water (not cold) it will not blister as badly. It helps to bring the temperature down a bit slower which improves the microcirculatory perfusion increasing tissue survival
@@mstech-gamingandmore1827 cool water not cold. But yaaaa! You don't even have to go to cold but I've found it helps make it feel better but you need to do it slowly from warm to cool
@@PirateNikki While that may be the best thing to do for the health of the surviving tissue cold water feels SO much better on a burn! Love when the ER lies and says the pain will be less once it's been treated and bandaged... Total BS 😆 the pain comes back as soon as the cold water goes away.
The goal is to bring down the temperature quickly. Cool, running water is best for this. And for at least 20min. Blistering comes from the damage to the skin and subcutaneous tissues from heat, so there’s no point doing warm water first as it does not remove heat. Go straight to cool water. I wish first aid for burns was taught to the general public better. I’ve seen people rub the burns, put toothpaste, honey, cream, or various other viscous liquids on the burns instead of just running the burn under water. Worse are the ones who do nothing, and only seek medical attention the next day when their skin starts peeling off.
@@tyoidbone I got a steam burn from not venting some clam chowder I'd been nuking. As I pulled back the plastic wrap the steam escaped immediately enveloping my right hand. The blisters formed at the moment of contact so that when I grabbed the hand the blisters popped. OMG the pain was so bad it made me instantly nauseated. I ran cold water on it as it was the only thing that relieved the pain. My then husband called me a baby and refused to drive me to the ER. I had to fill a baggie with cold water and a few ice cubes (the heat from the burn caused non-moving water to grow warm and lose its pain relieving effect) rubber band the baggie around my wrist and drive myself to the ER. Thank gawd I didn't have a stick shift and had power steering else I'd have not made it there. I was surprised by the rapidity with which they saw me for treatment as there were people with actively bleeding lacerations who were waiting before I even arrived. They gave me the BS line about how it would stop hurting once they applied burn cream and bandaged it (which included splints on 3 fingers), gave me a tetanus shot and an Rx for Norco. The pharmacy used a child proof bottle when they filled it which I couldn't open. Explained to them it had to be packaging I could open but they wouldn't do it unless I signed a liability waiver. I'm right handed, told them signing anything would be difficult so they were going to have to accept unreadable scribble as a signature and could they please re-process the Rx ASAP. Twenty minutes later I finally got to take 2 Norco which I was disappointed to find barely took the edge off. When I got back home the now ex was surprised by all the bandages, pain med Rx, etc but refused to acknowledge that it was a big enough deal to go to the ER for or apologize for being a major azzhat. Just one of the many reasons he's an ex. Burns effing hurt sooooo bad!!
Had an elderly neighbour who burned her hand (severely!) with hot frying oil. She put butter on the burn 🤦 made it so much worse! When my mom found out, later in the day, she bundled the neighbour up and brought her to the health clinic for immediate attention (we were living in a remote town with no hospital so the health clinic was like a mini ER). There were some full thickness burns in some places. She had months of therapy.
I was an ED volunteer in Nursing school. I walked in on my first day. Heard "shattered patella", turned white and the ED tech took me outside for a smoke break. I don't smoke. Became an ED nurse! ❤️
Poor Dale... When I was doing my surgical tech training our instructor had us do a scavenger hunt to get acquainted with the OR suite. You should have seen everyone looking for the "Otis Elevator" 🤣. She threw that and a couple others in there to loosen us up and help us relax a bit.
I’m literally volunteering in the ED right now! While the nurses are really nice and seem to enjoy my company, I feel that it’s the doctors that react like this when I try to help out. I end up just chilling with the nurses or patients and avoid the doctors as much as possible haha
I usually love your videos, dude. But volunteers are giving up their own time and good energy for free to help others. Dicking around with them, even if you find them a little annoying, isn’t cool. Many hospitals started with volunteers and most hospices.
As a student I got preoccupied making beats out of codes, pushing buttons. I had to kill the time somehow. Then when I tried to look busy I never could find the ppl I was supposed to be around 🤷🏻♀️. Somexs I'd just chill in bathrooms. I figured if all else fails, I'd just blame a classmates bc I was pregnant. Then go pretend some more w/ ppl w/ dementia, hoping i wouldn't be mistaken for someone else & not be hit or something. I'm clearly just wanting to take up space like I usually do. This dudes an inspiration tho 🤩🤗. .
The sending the volunteer on a "quest" so as not deal with his "helpfulness" reminded me of my photo finishing days. When I was in my early 20s, I worked for a one hour film processing lab (that alone, dates me, right?). Our mini lab was located in a fairly large two story mall. One of the anchor stores was, Caldor's, which had a fairly decent camera department, and there was another mini lab located mid mall. That said, as a prank, we would send the new staff off on "quests" for f-stops and shutter speeds. Thankfully, the hazing was taken in hood humor.
So funny! I love your skits, they bring back such great memories of me working in the ER...we asked a newbie to get some sterile fallopian tubes from surgery, they told him "we have em but we can't give them to you"! Both horrible and hilarious. Thanks!
when i was admitted for alcohol poisoning because i became an alcoholic after i got out of the army there was this ER volunteer that sat with me, he was a marine vietnam vet and he reminded me that life is worth fighting for...he was my main inspiration to get sober and it's been 7 years now
Omigosh! This! Six years of working in hospital volunteer services, this resonated with me on so many levels. I look back fondly on those years, why? Because of those wacky and wonderful volunteers.
LMAO as an aspiring med school student I have volunteered in a children's hospital ER before and I really liked it! No one took me under their wing, so I would just check in with the charge nurse at the beginning of my shift to see if she needed something specific and if not I would help with cleaning and seeing if families in the waiting room and in the rest of the rooms in general needed something. I remember I would put rolls of stickers around my arms and stick crayons and coloring books in my pockets to give out to families and kids or I would bring pillows and blankets to family members that had been in the ER for very long periods of time. And I really loved doing all of that! joking around with patients and families, being there for them, and seeing the look on the children's faces whenever they saw me coming wrapped around stickers was awesome haha. But whenever I would approach nurses I had the same nervous smile as Dale in the video cause I had just decided to apply to med school and it was one of my first experiences volunteering and learning about healthcare in the US and I really wanted to be helpful and not seen as a nuisance. So I would die on the inside and have a huge panic smile whenever I would see a nurse 😂 .If they needed anything, whatever they would ask, I would just run and do it without questioning it so I see how other volunteers who get really nervous could fall for those tricks, so I empathize with Dale cause he probably was feeling like that haha (I do know what a fallopian tube is tho😂). There were sometimes tho while I was giving out stickers or cleaning when nurses would approach me and say that they really appreciated me or that they knew the patients were appreciating my work and that would always make my day so if you are a healthcare worker definitely do that for your volunteers it truly means the world for us when we know we are being helpful to you haha
It took me many years to realize how much of a nuisance I must of been, as a volunteer 🤣. This skit is spot on lol. Staff would literally rock paper scissors to see who looses, & gets stuck "babysitting" the volunteer 🤣.
I love the pranks the characters pull all the time. It reminds me of when I worked at McDonalds because my coworkers and I would do stuff like that all the time. There was a girl who had started the same day as me, and she was hella gullible so she was usually the target of dumb pranks. There was one time one of the managers asked her to find a bag of sesame seeds for the buns and a bag of steam for the grill. She spent an hour in dry stalk looking for it and almost cried because she thought she would be fired for not finding them.😂 There was also another time another manager had asked her to get all the salt and pepper shakers from the lobby and play area and bring them to the front counter. While the girl left to get them the manager told all of us to act natural and don't say a word... Especially to me because by now me and her were actually pretty good friends and I was usually the one who told her when she was getting punked. She comes back with a tray of shakers and asked what to do with them. So my manager just goes; " so corporate messed up and sent us the wrong shakers by accident, they are supposed to screw off to refill them but they sent us faulty shakers. But we have to use these ones untill the new ones come in. Well they have to be refilled but the only way to do that is by opening the packets of salt and pepper and refilling it through the holes..." She comes back with a hand full of salt and pepper packets and tells my friend to get to it. Mind you these ones are desposable and we literally have 6 boxes of them in the back. But my friend didn't think of that so she starts trying to fill the shakers with the packets and she gets about 20 packets in when she realizes that we are all just standing around watching her do this laughing out asses off and my manager had her phone out recording this. 😂 She got mad and asked why I didn't stop her and I'm like "girl I love you, but of your going to be that gullible and fall for something that obviously Sketch then you kinda deserved that one. Especially when you know that our manager is always pulling pranks on you."
Ugh, I volunteered to boost my resume and had a similar experience. It was so obvious that no one knew what to do with me and I always felt like I was getting in the way.
I have a funny hospital story you can use for a skit! So, I was in the hospital for a week long stay after being very sick. I was on an IV. My nurse came in and told me she needed to change my IV in about an hour when she’s done with her other patients. She said that if I was already asleep, as it was late, she would try not to wake me. So I got ready for bed, eyes closed and lights out, and I hear someone come in. I figure she’s in to do the IV so I just let her do her thing as I’m super tired. I suddenly hear her grumble, “Stop that!” And am super confused. So I pop an eye open and what I see is two nurses, in the dark, working on my IV, with one holding a flashlight and flailing it around to be funny. I mumbled to them that I was awake so they could turn on the light but my nurse said, “no, no. It’s fine... go back to sleep...” and the other nurse with the flashlight says, “If we put on the light then what do I do?” And smart Alec me just says, “You’ll be the peanut gallery...” and they laugh. They finally finish up and leave. Not two minutes later I suddenly feel wet... and in my head all I can think is, either I’m bleeding... or something is leaking... I somehow manage to flip myself out of the bed onto the side of the bed, elbow for the nurse, and grab the leaking cord all in one crazy movement. It was near the end of my stay so I was feeling a lot better then I had originally been. The nurse comes in, sees me sitting there holding the cord in the dark and her eyes go wide and all she says is, “Oh no...” I look at her and give a sheepish little grin as I say, “Maybe you shouldn’t be doing IVs in the dark...” She had to help me change and change the wet bed. I told her she might not want to tell her partner or she may never live it down. The next morning when she came in she did something to my IV again and I couldn’t help but ask, “Is everything hooked up where it’s supposed to be?” With a grin. She laughed.
I know with burns you run it under cool water, but chicken fat works too. Once I was on a picnic and we usually cook the food at the spot rather than pack the food from home and I burned my hand, while tending to the fire. I wasn't near a sink or running water. But we did pack some chicken fat, which we were gonna use for cooking and I slatered that on the burn. It helped cool down the burn and the stinging went away, this is a pretty normal way to help burns in my culture. So if your burn still stings even after the running water, chicken fat helps to relieve the pain.
I remember doing some work experience at a vets during summer and the head vet there was super nice to me (and incredibly handsome, I was 15 and didn't know what to do w myself). He would always ask me questions that made me think and encouraged me to ask questions. He was a great influence on me and made me less scared of asking adults questions even if I thought they were stupid. (Most of thr time asking "but why tho?" Isn't a dumb question as it turns out). It was only a week but his kindness and patience really helped me along in my next Life Chapter (sounds corny but its true). Alas, I still fainted at blood and things being cut open so my dreams of being a vet were quite thoroughly dashed after a few close calls with fainting. 🤣🤦♀️
I LOVE our volunteers. Most of them are students with plans of going into med, or retired folks with backgrounds in med-adjacent stuff like biotech or insurance, so they're generally pretty smart and know to some extent what they're getting into. 95% of what we have them do is just help people get from place to place within our department, because we're a huge hospital and it's easy to get lost (and because our hospital refuses to hire enough patient transporters...). The rest of the time is tracking down wheelchairs (there's never enough of them at walk in triage!) and getting stuff like blankets for patients. They're massively helpful and we absolutely notice when they're not there.
“Your going to hell” LOL now when I am watching you stories I forget you are all the characters! You do a great job giving each their separate personalities! You can always make me Laugh, Out Loud!!!
Reminds me of the time I fell against a gas insert fireplace and had 1st/2nd/3rd degree burns on my back. Felt the first two, but not the 3rd degree. 25 years later and not one scar or even trace I ever had a burn that bad.
I used to do this when I was in the Air Force. They had to go get an exhaust sample from the Motor Pool, some blinker fluid or chem light batteries from Supply, they needed a ramp operator to get them some flight line (the flight line is the tarmac), and if they were really dumb then we’d send them to the clinic for some fallopian tubing.
Dale is beginning to edge out Austin as my fave character. You really should try acting. Each character you create is so convincingly real. How have you not tried it yet, and how did you get through high school without being in drama club? You obviously love to create these totally believable characters, and seem to have fun doing it. In my head, I picture Rich, Austin, Ben, and newbie Dale standing around the set talking, waiting for the director (you) to tell them what to do. I have to mentally slap myself (oops) in order to remember that they are all you. Really.
A classic “snipe hunt” quest. If I volunteered with a volunteer that was that dense I’d go along with it because I wouldn’t want to have them around. However I would first try to ascertain if their brain hadn’t engaged yet because they were so eager. “Do you know what a fallopian tube looks like?” “No? Then enjoy your hunting!”
Classic prank , generally done on first year med students. Others, grow a colony STAT I collect urine samples, some people collect baseball cards, depression glass , me I collect urine samples. I have to take your blood pressure, I promise to give it back to you when I'm done.
I've gotta talk to military medical personnel to see if they do this to privates just out of training! This is better than sending them to get an exhaust sample or blinker fluid!!
Hahaha I would love to see labor and delivery's response for a ER volunteer asking for a fallopian tube 😂😂
Literally same. That's what I was thinking
Well, it would go one of two ways. They just tell him, or they play along and send him somewhere else on his quest. The question becomes how long can it go on before it crashes.
@@eddavis9704 Or they could have an excised fallopian tube lying somewhere and actually give it to him lmao
@@ycrem0n That would be funny, but they have to incinerate organic medical waste.

know what a fallopian tube is
You have a good heart
Same!!! I spent my volunteering time just stocking rooms with curos caps and separating dnr bracelets 😂😂
I dont get it, they get free help yet nobody wants it? Sure, they will be annoyed for training people for a bit but in the long run it helps right?
I can’t believe I’ve never heard of this before!! ER volunteering sounds like such a great way to help people. As an guy apsiring to do medicine, I really want to try this. Thanks Steve!!
🤣🤣🤣 the reaction of someone casually strolled into labor & delivery asking for a fallopian tube would be priceless
It's like sending the new lube kid in an auto shop for a can of tire bead.....

Yeah for some reason back in the day they used to say put butter on it! I guess the thought was to moisturize the skin? Idk
@@Monika-mb6jh Probably figured “you butter a hot pan, so…”
Tragic.
@@Monika-mb6jh They did indeed
😂 “You’re going to hell.” You tell him, Austin.
I was an ED volunteer in Nursing school. I walked in on my first day. Heard "shattered patella", turned white and the ED tech took me outside for a smoke break.
I don't smoke.
Became an ED nurse! ❤️
Poor Dale... When I was doing my surgical tech training our instructor had us do a scavenger hunt to get acquainted with the OR suite. You should have seen everyone looking for the "Otis Elevator" 🤣. She threw that and a couple others in there to loosen us up and help us relax a bit.
OMG Otis Elevator
Otis made ALL the elevators!
@@ginnyjollykidd 🤣🤣It’s been several years but I think we did that same scavenger hunt
I’m literally volunteering in the ED right now! While the nurses are really nice and seem to enjoy my company, I feel that it’s the doctors that react like this when I try to help out. I end up just chilling with the nurses or patients and avoid the doctors as much as possible haha
My medical experience is in Veterinary medicine, and so much of this carries over!!!
oof! i imagine vet med is worse, dumb people + their pets they treat like humans, yikes!lol
I usually love your videos, dude. But volunteers are giving up their own time and good energy for free to help others. Dicking around with them, even if you find them a little annoying, isn’t cool. Many hospitals started with volunteers and most hospices.
Ah, the good old "sending students to central supply for some fallopian tubes."
As a student I got preoccupied making beats out of codes, pushing buttons. I had to kill the time somehow. Then when I tried to look busy I never could find the ppl I was supposed to be around 🤷🏻♀️. Somexs I'd just chill in bathrooms. I figured if all else fails, I'd just blame a classmates bc I was pregnant. Then go pretend some more w/ ppl w/ dementia, hoping i wouldn't be mistaken for someone else & not be hit or something. I'm clearly just wanting to take up space like I usually do. This dudes an inspiration tho 🤩🤗. .
These always make my day a bit better lol. Thank you good sir.
Mine as well.
The familiar voice.
The interesting characters.
At the end, I smile ❤
The sending the volunteer on a "quest" so as not deal with his "helpfulness" reminded me of my photo finishing days. When I was in my early 20s, I worked for a one hour film processing lab (that alone, dates me, right?). Our mini lab was located in a fairly large two story mall. One of the anchor stores was, Caldor's, which had a fairly decent camera department, and there was another mini lab located mid mall. That said, as a prank, we would send the new staff off on "quests" for f-stops and shutter speeds. Thankfully, the hazing was taken in hood humor.
😆 At least Austin is no longer surprised at the shenanigans.
So funny! I love your skits, they bring back such great memories of me working in the ER...we asked a newbie to get some sterile fallopian tubes from surgery, they told him "we have em but we can't give them to you"! Both horrible and hilarious. Thanks!
Hahahahaha! 😆😆😆😆
Yup! I thought L&D would have a great comeback!
when i was admitted for alcohol poisoning because i became an alcoholic after i got out of the army there was this ER volunteer that sat with me, he was a marine vietnam vet and he reminded me that life is worth fighting for...he was my main inspiration to get sober and it's been 7 years now
"Go upstairs and ask labour and delivery for one" absolutely killed me
This made me rofl so loud!!! Poor Dale was looking for a Fallopian tube 🤣🤣🤣
Omigosh! This! Six years of working in hospital volunteer services, this resonated with me on so many levels. I look back fondly on those years, why? Because of those wacky and wonderful volunteers.
LMAO as an aspiring med school student I have volunteered in a children's hospital ER before and I really liked it! No one took me under their wing, so I would just check in with the charge nurse at the beginning of my shift to see if she needed something specific and if not I would
help with cleaning and seeing if families in the waiting room and in the rest of the rooms in general needed something. I remember I would put rolls of stickers around my arms and stick crayons and coloring books in my pockets to give out to families and kids or I would bring pillows and blankets to family members that had been in the ER for very long periods of time. And I really loved doing all of that! joking around with patients and families, being there for them, and seeing the look on the children's faces whenever they saw me coming wrapped around stickers was awesome haha. But whenever I would approach nurses I had the same nervous smile as Dale in the video cause I had just decided to apply to med school and it was one of my first experiences volunteering and learning about healthcare in the US and I really wanted to be helpful and not seen as a nuisance. So I would die on the inside and have a huge panic smile whenever I would see a nurse 😂 .If they needed anything, whatever they would ask, I would just run and do it without questioning it so I see how other volunteers who get really nervous could fall for those tricks, so I empathize with Dale cause he probably was feeling like that haha (I do know what a fallopian tube is tho😂). There were sometimes tho while I was giving out stickers or cleaning when nurses would approach me and say that they really appreciated me or that they knew the patients were appreciating my work and that would always make my day so if you are a healthcare worker definitely do that for your volunteers it truly means the world for us when we know we are being helpful to you haha
As a retired nurse, live your clips. Been there done that. 😅
His characters are so good it's easy to forget they're all the same guy 😄
As an 11th grader preparing for the medical examination in my country, dale trying to find the fallopian tube was absolutely hilarious to me🤣🤣🥴
I absolutely love love love these lil skits! I seriously see all your characters as individual people 🤣! Keep it up man you are too flipping funny!
It took me many years to realize how much of a nuisance I must of been, as a volunteer 🤣.
This skit is spot on lol. Staff would literally rock paper scissors to see who looses, & gets stuck "babysitting" the volunteer 🤣.
Brilliant work with the multiple characters 👏
I love the pranks the characters pull all the time. It reminds me of when I worked at McDonalds because my coworkers and I would do stuff like that all the time. There was a girl who had started the same day as me, and she was hella gullible so she was usually the target of dumb pranks. There was one time one of the managers asked her to find a bag of sesame seeds for the buns and a bag of steam for the grill. She spent an hour in dry stalk looking for it and almost cried because she thought she would be fired for not finding them.😂 There was also another time another manager had asked her to get all the salt and pepper shakers from the lobby and play area and bring them to the front counter. While the girl left to get them the manager told all of us to act natural and don't say a word... Especially to me because by now me and her were actually pretty good friends and I was usually the one who told her when she was getting punked. She comes back with a tray of shakers and asked what to do with them. So my manager just goes; " so corporate messed up and sent us the wrong shakers by accident, they are supposed to screw off to refill them but they sent us faulty shakers. But we have to use these ones untill the new ones come in. Well they have to be refilled but the only way to do that is by opening the packets of salt and pepper and refilling it through the holes..." She comes back with a hand full of salt and pepper packets and tells my friend to get to it. Mind you these ones are desposable and we literally have 6 boxes of them in the back. But my friend didn't think of that so she starts trying to fill the shakers with the packets and she gets about 20 packets in when she realizes that we are all just standing around watching her do this laughing out asses off and my manager had her phone out recording this. 😂 She got mad and asked why I didn't stop her and I'm like "girl I love you, but of your going to be that gullible and fall for something that obviously Sketch then you kinda deserved that one. Especially when you know that our manager is always pulling pranks on you."
Better go check on that burn guy... Someone said they saw him rubbing Bengay on his wound...
*Ben screaming "Damnit man!!! I told you COOL water!!!"
Ok, this was hysterical....and a little disturbing Poor Dale lol 💜🐾❤️
It makes my day when I seen you've got a new video!! 🤣🤣🤣
Your videos make me so happy.
Love a story within a story
He's too funny. I love him, he makes me laugh a lot.
Ugh, I volunteered to boost my resume and had a similar experience. It was so obvious that no one knew what to do with me and I always felt like I was getting in the way.
I have a funny hospital story you can use for a skit!
So, I was in the hospital for a week long stay after being very sick. I was on an IV. My nurse came in and told me she needed to change my IV in about an hour when she’s done with her other patients. She said that if I was already asleep, as it was late, she would try not to wake me.
So I got ready for bed, eyes closed and lights out, and I hear someone come in. I figure she’s in to do the IV so I just let her do her thing as I’m super tired.
I suddenly hear her grumble, “Stop that!” And am super confused. So I pop an eye open and what I see is two nurses, in the dark, working on my IV, with one holding a flashlight and flailing it around to be funny.
I mumbled to them that I was awake so they could turn on the light but my nurse said, “no, no. It’s fine... go back to sleep...” and the other nurse with the flashlight says, “If we put on the light then what do I do?”
And smart Alec me just says, “You’ll be the peanut gallery...” and they laugh. They finally finish up and leave.
Not two minutes later I suddenly feel wet... and in my head all I can think is, either I’m bleeding... or something is leaking... I somehow manage to flip myself out of the bed onto the side of the bed, elbow for the nurse, and grab the leaking cord all in one crazy movement. It was near the end of my stay so I was feeling a lot better then I had originally been.
The nurse comes in, sees me sitting there holding the cord in the dark and her eyes go wide and all she says is, “Oh no...”
I look at her and give a sheepish little grin as I say, “Maybe you shouldn’t be doing IVs in the dark...”
She had to help me change and change the wet bed. I told her she might not want to tell her partner or she may never live it down.
The next morning when she came in she did something to my IV again and I couldn’t help but ask, “Is everything hooked up where it’s supposed to be?” With a grin. She laughed.
You just do not disappoint! Dale, geez, take any anatomy courses... or are they coming next year!???... and yeah - Cool WATER for burns!
OMG I need L&Ds reaction to Dale asking for a fallopian tube. 🤣🤣
It’s like sending Navy newbies out for 50 feet of shoreline😂😂😂
Oh my gosh, the last bit was hilarious😂😂😂😂😂😂
How does an ER volunteer not know what a fallopian tube is?- might as well have asked him to find the esophagus
Fallopian tube!! Haha
I know with burns you run it under cool water, but chicken fat works too. Once I was on a picnic and we usually cook the food at the spot rather than pack the food from home and I burned my hand, while tending to the fire. I wasn't near a sink or running water. But we did pack some chicken fat, which we were gonna use for cooking and I slatered that on the burn. It helped cool down the burn and the stinging went away, this is a pretty normal way to help burns in my culture. So if your burn still stings even after the running water, chicken fat helps to relieve the pain.
I'm loving these series.. I want more haha
I just love these videos !!!!
Man I honestly love the interconnected stories in it.
I remember doing some work experience at a vets during summer and the head vet there was super nice to me (and incredibly handsome, I was 15 and didn't know what to do w myself). He would always ask me questions that made me think and encouraged me to ask questions. He was a great influence on me and made me less scared of asking adults questions even if I thought they were stupid. (Most of thr time asking "but why tho?" Isn't a dumb question as it turns out).
It was only a week but his kindness and patience really helped me along in my next Life Chapter (sounds corny but its true).
Alas, I still fainted at blood and things being cut open so my dreams of being a vet were quite thoroughly dashed after a few close calls with fainting. 🤣🤦♀️
But at least you didn't waste time on vet school when you found out (very inexpensively I might add) that blood/surgery wasn't your thing. Helpful!
I don’t know who this dude is but he is def on my GOAT funniest YT’er list!
Please lemme see him asking for fallopian tubes in labor and delivery 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
I LOVE our volunteers. Most of them are students with plans of going into med, or retired folks with backgrounds in med-adjacent stuff like biotech or insurance, so they're generally pretty smart and know to some extent what they're getting into. 95% of what we have them do is just help people get from place to place within our department, because we're a huge hospital and it's easy to get lost (and because our hospital refuses to hire enough patient transporters...). The rest of the time is tracking down wheelchairs (there's never enough of them at walk in triage!) and getting stuff like blankets for patients. They're massively helpful and we absolutely notice when they're not there.
A Fallopian Tube!!! I died laughing!!
“Your going to hell” LOL now when I am watching you stories I forget you are all the characters! You do a great job giving each their separate personalities! You can always make me Laugh, Out Loud!!!
🤣🤣🤣 I love these. You can't fault Dale's willingness to help but that made me laugh, sending him off to find the fallopian tube😆😆
Keep up the high quality shorts!
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 Good luck finding that fallopian tube Dale. When you finish that, could you please bring a bucket of steam?
It’s always fun to send people to find the Otis Elevator.
Thanks so much! I enjoy the laughs and learn a few practical things to help heal. Love your attitude!!!.
Stevio, you are SOO DAMN GOOD AT THIS!
So incredibly entertaining!
Hope you're feeling better!
"You're not making a sandwich, man"!😜😜😜
LMAO! That's the rookie task for new EMTs. 🤣
Reminds me of the time I fell against a gas insert fireplace and had 1st/2nd/3rd degree burns on my back. Felt the first two, but not the 3rd degree.
25 years later and not one scar or even trace I ever had a burn that bad.
I have been teaching my kids this their entire lives.
Even if you think you got too much sun get ya butt in a Cool bath or shower!
Omg that was a good one! Making dale go on a scavenger hunt and look for a part of a woman's body!
I used to do this when I was in the Air Force.
They had to go get an exhaust sample from the Motor Pool, some blinker fluid or chem light batteries from Supply, they needed a ramp operator to get them some flight line (the flight line is the tarmac), and if they were really dumb then we’d send them to the clinic for some fallopian tubing.
As a former hospital volunteer, this made me laugh
You got me at fallopian tube, that was funny
🤣🤣 I look for his vid
first thing (6am) in the morning, everytime after I woke up. The only thing that makes me smile throughout the day
How can anyone be "too helpful"? I wish we had a Dale. We would treasure an extra pair of hands.
Your facial expressions are perfect
I love that there are multiple storylines now and a lot going on in the ER at once
As usual!!! It's getting to be like a real ER!!
We ask the new guys at the firehouse to find a left handed spanner wrench. 😂
Dude you weren't making a sandwich. Love it!
Much appreciated for the laughs you give all of us ❤❤
Ngl I would love to work with Dale lol seems like such a nice guy
I’m glad I don’t get treated like Dale. 😂
Poor Dale, still searching for fallopian tube 😆
This reminds me when they sent one dude all around the base looking for flight line. LMAO.
Reminds me of my former BIL first day on the job in the USAF. They sent him all over asking people for 40 yards of flight line.
I love all your videos but this is one of your very best!! Please keep them coming : )
Dale is beginning to edge out Austin as my fave character. You really should try acting. Each character you create is so convincingly real. How have you not tried it yet, and how did you get through high school without being in drama club? You obviously love to create these totally believable characters, and seem to have fun doing it. In my head, I picture Rich, Austin, Ben, and newbie Dale standing around the set talking, waiting for the director (you) to tell them what to do. I have to mentally slap myself (oops) in order to remember that they are all you. Really.
I'd like to say he already is doing acting.
He should also try script writing .😋 The characters are so much fun
@@snehal5248 He's already doing that, again?
So what do you think that he is doing in this video??? He has filmed his multiple-personalities??? Hey, that sounds good 😂
I love Austin,,,,
"Give me a fallopian tube"
Labour n deliveries: u sick bastard. Get outta here. *throws scalpels* 😶
Love your videos. These stories are awesome!!
Oh Steve I just absolutely love you. You always know how to put a smile on my face 😊
That creepy smile SCREAMS cult, children of the corn!!
A classic “snipe hunt” quest. If I volunteered with a volunteer that was that dense I’d go along with it because I wouldn’t want to have them around. However I would first try to ascertain if their brain hadn’t engaged yet because they were so eager. “Do you know what a fallopian tube looks like?” “No? Then enjoy your hunting!”
Ben is my favorite character 😂
Love these videos hope you are feeling better after covid
Omg!!
Fallopian tube?
I almost peed from laughing. If I watch this back when I was pregnant, i would have peed just from laughing...
Oh God, one of our hospital volunteer’s name’s Dale! 😂😂😂
Lmao at fallopian tube, kinda like telling someone to find the kanooter valve on a car
Reminds me of the military where we told the newbies to run and get us a roll of flightline😂
Classic prank , generally done on first year med students.
Others, grow a colony STAT
I collect urine samples, some people collect baseball cards, depression glass , me I collect urine samples.
I have to take your blood pressure, I promise to give it back to you when I'm done.
I've gotta talk to military medical personnel to see if they do this to privates just out of training! This is better than sending them to get an exhaust sample or blinker fluid!!
