Relatable as always, work in a private clinic as an x-ray/ct lab, ppl are getting scheduled to me through call center and get this, recently they stopped reserving time for breaks, literally no breaks 8 to 20, and if its all filled up with patients then what? I get to starve? I usually say you are short-staffed as hell and can't replace me and go eat whenever i want, the only thing feel bad for patients coz their visits get delayed
Today my insurance company denied me a endoscopy I really needed due to my pain , when they told them the reason why I was denied (I’m 31 and too young) boy I was glad I’ve seen your videos and mentioned their famous mystery box they’re using for the denials , I kindly asked them to have another go at the box for fun and see what we got. Thankfully my GI is fighting it on my behalf cause they can care less Thanks doc for bringing laughs to all of us
I have IBS and when my bowel movements start i get anxious bc it always takes around 10 min to finish and patients come and nurses all shout my name, like goddamit you are just making my IBS worst
Ugh, I hate people like that. I remember we were on summer practice in a hospital in our first year. My period was hitting hard, the worst cramps in 30+ Celsius and no AC in the department. I needed to use the restroom and got a little dizzy in there, so it took me some time to return to the front desk. The nurse was furious. She asked me why I was in the bathroom for so long, and told me it was my duty to change patients' systems. I remember getting so sad. Then the same nurse yelled at me, because I wrote in my practice diary (we had to write those, so that our teachers knew how we were doing), that she didn't let me go eat lunch (which happened 3 times in a row). I got so furious I told her that I don't get paid for doing her job, I am only there to learn, so I will have lunch whenever I need to. She called a whole meeting over that, but our teacher sided with me on that. That nurse didn't look at me at all for the rest of the month and I was happy to help a different one. What I'm trying to say is, don't let people like that dictate your life, even at work. If they need it so urgent, they can do it themselves.
I love that you stood up for yourself! You deserve to be treated like a human being and not some shit smear on the bottom of someone's shoe. So annoying when people think they can treat someone else however they want
it's not really a problem of "people like that..." the problem is we live in a dictatorship run by insurance companies and the fossil fuel industry. the people who enforce this system are more than annoying- they are traitors to the human race as a whole but barty banks is not a traitor, he's just a capitalist loyal to his class. until we change the system itself, people like that will always dictate our lives
I've had a general manager like that. Except for payroll, she didn't do a thing. I was a trainee manager for a restaurant and I had a general manager that would just sit in her office all day watching TH-cam videos/movies and would invite friends round to have takeaways etc. Unless it was busy, she wouldn't work and when it was busy, she would get annoyed because it meant working. The restaurant we worked in was also a training one, because it wasn't busy in comparison to the other local restaurants. Been plenty of times I've had to serve customers and also cook it. She got put under investigation for a few things and was given a transfer to a much busier restaurant. I heard that she didn't last long and left 😂
@Bonnie MacEvoy they really do. They bring laughter and have a better attitude. The thing is, I am a med uni student, and the nurses were bossing us around
One of my colleagues, I'll call him Tim, used to clock into work at the hospital, take the daily newspaper, and go across the hall for his morning ritual. He had trained his bowels to empty every morning at 08:02. On hospital time. Hope you are laughing in heaven as you see this, Tim!
I got on at 0630 and took my lunch/first break at 1630 one day. I was running around like crazy with 6 patients, 4 discharges and 2 admits. The charge said she’ll watch my patients while I take my lunch break. MD comes into the break room and goes “we need to do a bedside fecal occult right now.” And I said “I just got on my break, and charge is watching patients, so please ask her.” My manager came in and said I had to do it since charge was helping another patient. We do the bedside occult, and my manager comes up to me after and goes “why are you taking your break so late? We get pings on our report for that.” And I just went quiet. This system is not sustainable, and we’re unfortunately losing more healthcare workers than we’re gaining. My last company made record profits last year too.
Bartholemew Banks is SOOOOOO scary accurate!!!!!! "He runs bowel while he runs bowel!" CLASSIC!!!!!!!!!!!! I left two practices that were great, fun, and made money, until the inevitable sale to PA. ......after Vulture Capital/Private Equity came in, I had to take a 45 minute pause in the middle of a simple wound defect repair after a skin excision. Why? Because Private Equity put a "freeze" on all instrument purchases, and the surgery packs we had suffered the usual dulling/breakage/loss that is a part of a busy practice. So the few packs we had contained unusable instruments, which we would discover ONLY after they were being opened and used. Nurses were told to "pack and autoclave," regardless of the condition of the instruments. I had to wait with the patient in the procedure room while my nurse scrounged enough sterile instruments to complete the case. Sick.
Good god. I pierced professionally about 15 years ago in a tattoo shop that had stricter instrument quality standards than that, ffs. (It was a notably excellent shop, we actually used disposable everything/didn't even have or need an autoclave and the industry has come a long way over the years, so I don't mean any implied shade to the body art scene ... but I feel like anyone can agree that if even the world's best tattoo shop is stricter about having plenty of clean high-quality equipment available than the worst hospital, then something is wrong with the damn hospitals)
It’s how hospitals are run. Worst part is, we docs catch the blame from the public as the evil ones while the private equity folks fly under the radar.
It's what they use at my job. You use twice as much to wipe the same area. Same with paper towels. I once brought in a roll of Bounty for an experiment and then promptly forgot it. Suspiciously, it's still being used to this day.
This pains me because what these people don't understand is that there exists a point where if you pressure your workers any further their productivity is just going to plummet. Those 10 minutes in a bathroom is a morale boost coupled together with stress relieve coupled together with idea generation coupled together with error correction.
I used to work in a call center for a bank and you would have to swipe in and out of the door to get to the bathroom so they could track how long you were gone down to the second. On a 10hr day the amount of acceptable away from desk time was 2 minutes. This skit gave me flashbacks
First job in IT call center, I got in trouble for going pee more than during my breaks/lunch. I timed myself a few times - I'd be gone and back within *three minutes*. My bladder would be in physical pain if I tried waiting the entire 2 hours to my next break. Had so many fucking UTIs caused by holding it for too long from that job. Fuck management like that.
That 1 min 45 seconds is an investment and is expected to pay dividends over the long term. Even if Bill only shaves his pooping time by a few minutes each time as a result of this conversation, just after the first one, the time spent on the conversation is already made up. An exceptional return.
I would suggest that they should institute mandatory 8 hours of training for all staff on 'personal time management' - I'm sure that would pay off in the long run, and hey, if they get training, that's got to improve morale too!
@@Telukin Check your email. Corporate HR has already sent you a 15 minute video explaining the benefit of the training and a link for you to log in.

Had a boss try to tell me that I needed to poop less. I said no because I was on a poop schedule, one that I don't get to decide when I poop but I do get to decide that I poop. The same boss told me that I needed to show up 15 minutes early to be on the floor ready to work when the shift bell wrung, I said I would if he let me clock in 15 minutes early, to which he said no. Seriously some bosses man.
Had a coworker with IBS, the boss tried to pull that crap on him. Thankfully the entire conversation was documented via email and HR sorted it out… they can’t afford a lawsuit.
It wasn't a job in medicine, but I worked in a place where my boss spent a whole day timing my bathroom breaks. It was awful and I found out later in that year that I have a rare genetic kidney disease.
This is scarily accurate and why so many businesses are run like this. It also applies to companies with different CEOs every 3-5 years. They get paid in stocks and have to wait 3-5 years to cash those stocks so they try to increase the stock value at any cost neglecting maintenance and other aspects of the business as its the next CEOs problem. They want to get as much as possible when they cash those stocks and leave the company running on bare bones while they get their golden parachute of stocks out of the company.
Problem with that is they look at short-term value instead of long-term. Edit: yes I am saying the problem is the compensation structure is they don’t look at longterm success, value, or care, or even employees or patients, but rather short-term gain. The fact that a comment disagreeing with me then saying the same thing in correction gets double likes tells me I was somehow not clear, so hope this is more clear.
@@joshuamclean4588 that's not a problem, it's how their compensation is designed to work. They don't care about long term success, because they're paid specifically to not care.
I got pulled into a managers office when I worked for the BS.. insurance company cause I went to the bathroom too much. Told either leave me alone or we would take it up with HR and my doctor. She backed down.
Truth. Same thing happened to a coworker when I had a telephonic case mgt gig about 13 years ago. Timed the bathroom breaks and said he was on too long. He never called in and posted good inbound call numbers. Appalling
I've started asking everyone who comments on my bathroom time if they want to know about my bowel problems. So far I've had one taker who very sarcastically asked me "Does it start with an I and end with nstagram?", but didn't appreciate my reply of "No, it starts with a c and ends with onstipation".
My worst work experience ever was at a private equity company. The managers were so concerned with meeting arbitrary KPI targets that they failed to consider things like morale and basic respect / decency. Eventually all of us just started putting in the minimum possible effort, taking extra long lunch breaks, etc. They sorely missed their targets and eventually went bankrupt shortly after we left.
@@AnOriginalTH-camr i still remember "lights on time" There were motion sensors in several parts of the building with a 45 minute delay until it shut off again and no normal light switches Swedish workplace safety guys eventually fined the mother company into oblivion over workplace accidents due to this system They somehow wanted to decrease their energy usage so they could sell more of the rooftop solar to the grid and the first $800k fine wasnt enough...

Which makes no difference because they're still rich and even when the capitalist's company goes bust the capitalist makes a profit. Working class people don't even understand the staggering difference between their world and ours. It's completely different rules.
@@kylezo man.... I hate how communists speak I fully agree on bail-outs being a problem but the way you speak and see the world (in an, to me, absurdly black and white view) makes you guys so much of a bigger problem.
I had this with one of my old jobs. they gave me, well, shit for taking too long and too frequent breaks in the restroom. After talking with my doctor it seemed the case was a matter of ibs compounded by the fact that the only food i could afford was making it worse. So I told them that a) I had a doctor's note so they could kindly shove it and b) if they really wanted to increase worker efficiency, perhaps either provide meal assistance for the employees or pay them better. You know, so that our internal organs weren't a sluice box fueled only by coffee and the dollar menu at taco bell. They didn't change anything, but the doctor's note did get them to piss off.
I always stewed about providing care in a university tertiary pediatric hospital center that, with the health insurance provided by the job, I couldn’t afford for my own kids without first bankrupting the family and then having to get that sick family member onto Medicaid. I have since retired and my kids are all self supporting, but even with Medicare and two supplemental healthcare policies, I could not afford a long lasting catastrophic illness. The American “healthcare system” is broken and the bottom line bean counters deserve a big slice of the responsibility pie.
Don't forget that private equity firms also use the equity of the hospital to take out massive loans before running the hospital into the ground and selling it off.
Remember folks no matter what, and if you know the words you can sing along too 🎵 my boss makes a dollar I make a dime that’s why I sh*t on company time 🎵 though private equity wants its 9/10s of that dime now
"Do you know why I bought this hospital?" "Because your parents didnt hug you, and youve never done mushrooms, so youre trying to fill the void inside with luxury posessions and a one dimensional idea of personal growth?"

@@nerveagent1905 They might help you to some extent with some types of problems. They might also be a potentially disappointing or scary tool depending on your personal situation. It's a good idea to talk to some kind of psychotherapist or psychiatrist first if you possibly can. Most these days, especially younger ones, are pretty understanding of interest in psilocybin and other hallucinogens and will generally keep it real with you about what evidence there is or isn't so far that applies to your case. You can also look for scholarly articles about it too, there's some accessible info out there. :) I hope that's helpful!
@@nerveagent1905 As someone from/in Colorado, and who had forgotten about this thread, and who is currently listening to a spooky fiction story podcast at the exact moment where a spooky stranger appears unexplainedly near the protagonist ... that was a mildly ominous comment to see in my notifications just now lmaoooo 😆😂🤣 All seriousness aside, the psychotherapy resources here aren't necessarily more abundant than anywhere else, so assuming you're serious, I just don't want you to be disappointed if it's hard to get the care you're seeking. Even though we've made some legislative changes in the right direction, the wave of useful scientific research in this area will probably take a little while longer to develop, just like it took for mmj research after we legalized pot :P (but hey I'm not anti-transplant, so if you legit want to move or visit here for your mental health then be my guest, there are lots of good things about being here aside from the chiller drug culture and I hope you find everything you're looking for!)
As someone suffering from endo-maybe-osis (couple steps left to confirm the actual endometriosis label) and whose symptoms are mostly bowel-ish, I would have such an entertaining time handling a conversation like this in any amount of graphic detail 😂 "Aight admin I bet you're prepared to be unfazed if someone brings up periods, but just wait 'til you hear what I deal with when I'm ON MY SEMICOLON!" _... It's all true but I mostly just contrived this comment to share my semicolon pun tbh, I'm so proud of it please validate me_ _(belated edit to hyphenate endo-maybe-osis so it's clearer the word is made up)_

This would be funny if it weren’t real… No healthcare worker out there should have to do a “time study” and track their minute by minute productivity across the day, including “10:55 to 11:06 bathroom.” Can just hear the managers saying that could’ve been a one unit charge for a patient (8 minutes). I feel for Bill.
@@AshUndone Yeah… I had to account for every minute too, including how long it took to page and talk with a doctor, walk from one end of the hospital to the next, etc… Would’ve been more productive not having to fill out the amount of detail in the time study
@@TheGreektrojan I agree. I think having a good manager who actually takes the time to look through time studies after rather than leaving it on their employees to “identify areas of misused minutes” would actually be helpful. Unfortunately, some managers only care about the minutes and productivity - to the point that they broadcast everyone’s weekly productivity score for all to see in the office… abusing the point of both productivity and time studies.
"Stop worrying about your bottom, and start worrying about the bottom line!" Musta had the same CFO I did at my first private equity hospital. 87 bed mid size and I was Queen of All That Was Coding and Billing. For real, I just started out as secondary biller but worked my way up. The people in Administration are no joke. That is THEIR LIFE. Their AA was from the same town as me and this wench would literally put her nose up in the air..... and I was married into a quite well respected (read: they were/are still rich and in politics and paid people off) family, at the time. Once, a far extended, but well known, cousin was visiting the hospital as a publicity op. He (the cousn) and I were conversing and she (the AA) was practically glued to my side, huge smile, extolling my virtues. I just laughed, walked away, and called up the cousin's wife later to tell her what was going on. Good times..... good times.......
Let a manager try this with me, I can't _wait_ to subject them to all the intricacies of my daily medication regimen & the intimate details of how it impacts (just a pun...or is it?🤔) my bowel function. I'm so ready.
unfortunately can relate. One of the reasons I quit my prior job at the ER ( private equity firm) was I got a talking to after my shift of why I used the bathroom when I came into work. I gave my notice the next day.
Barty’s got nothing on Amazon! They had their workers wear diapers. Banks needs to step up his game and require all employees to have permanent colostomies removing the need for toilet breaks altogether. The staff bathrooms can be converted to something that’ll generate more hospital revenue. Like extra vending machines. Gotta make sure those visitors end up as future patients with dodgy tuna sandwiches or further down the line with poorly controlled diabetes.
Retail's improved since ... {checks watch} almost every experience I've ever heard of anyone else having with it :P Just teasing, I'm sincerely glad that you're describing a better state of things than I'm used to hearing about
I work in healthcare and can confirm I’ve set a timer going into the bathroom. We have to see 27-30 patients daily booking every 15 minutes back to back while still dealing with forms, labs, and patient messages/calls. If nature calls at the wrong time you risk falling behind. Healthcare has become such a shit show. *pun intended*
Goddamn you hit me right where it hurts. I’ve been out 6yrs and my hospital has had 3 owners. Switched EMRs each time. They saved money with the last one by providing almost no training beforehand and no in-person support afterwards. But by all means, let’s spend ridiculous amounts of money on another one that isn’t Epic instead of replacing the dim, 40yo L&D OR lights. 🤦🏻♀️
I feel like whoever wrote that last part ("stop worrying about your bottom and start worrying about the bottom line) was super proud of it. I can just see the person scribbling some words, ending with quick, sharp, dot on the paper for the period and then tossing the pen/pencil onto the desk while leaning back in the seat and crossing their arms over their head. "And that, ladies and gentlemen, " they proclaim loudly to no one in particular, "is how you write a script. A slow grin of self satisfaction creeps over their face as they lift their legs up to prop them on their desk. Right as they go to cross their ankles, they loose their balance and go flailing to the floor. Why? Bc it's a funny acting trope.
Some things just don't need to be for profit ventures. Treat the staff bad, treat the patients bad...the only ones who get treated well are the people with the least to lose. (Patients - life/health, staff - livelihood/health, investors - money.)
You can tell a lot about the company you work for by the quality of the TP in the employee bathroom. May you find your three-ply, quilted, lotioned forever career.
What you need are bidets, only faster and more efficient. Take those Dyson turbo hand air dryers, but redesigned as a turbo wash and dry bidet. Sure, they might be a tad uncomfortable to use. What's the worst that could happen?
@@rosiepone - Bartholomew Banks will do whatever Bartholomew Banks has to do to make more money. If that means taking the next year's pay raises for the hospital staff and spending it on a bidet to save time (which, I remind you, IS MONEY), then it will be done!
Several years ago we had a huge media scandal in Poland, when a worker of a big chain of large grocery stores told newspapers, that the store employees were allowed so few and so short toilet breaks (if any at all), the cashiers had to wear nappies for grown-ups. Maybe you could adopt that idea...
Oh, you nailed this! I watch my hospital go from having a great reputation, innovative and collaborative on patient care, and a place with low turnover, people wanting to work at to a place where, well, huge hunk of staff have left, the ynion has been massively weakened, and the community no longer trusts..
I had a real-life UHC denial appeal phone call to make. They asked me why the claim was denied and I said, "That's why I called!" Then they told me it was a 72 hour turn around for the appeal process. Long story short, in spite of placing physician orders for SAR and appeal, my patient is still sitting in the hospital, waiting for placement ten days later!
@@AliciaMcIntire I'm cautiously-mostly-sure you mean an at-will state. My bad if I'm understanding you incorrectly, I just know these are commonly conflated and the latter makes more sense to me in context
I had a boss exactly like this once. He'd literally go into the bathroom and tell you to hurry up because you were on the clock and that was company time. A real company man, through and through. He got addicted to benzos and ended up having a nervous breakdown. To say thanks for all his years of staunch loyalty and service, they fired him. American corporations really are the true definition of evil.
I’m the Cath/EP labs I have worked at most of the seasoned staff trained their bowls to go at a certain time during work hours. Some even made sure they don’t overlap. I’m sure the hospital environment isn’t the only ones like this. Nothing like being paid to do your business
As much as I love watching your efforts, videos of this kind remind me of how plutocratic our healthcare system is, and how very wrong that is. I don't think disgust is too strong a word. I also believe, as a Veteran of the US Navy, that our country can do far better than this!
Worked at a retail store, we can call it Worst Purchase, I was encouraged to clock out before I take a 10 min break, I was encouraged to work 9 hrs, bill 8, I was encouraged to not call in sick when I had strep, I was encouraged to not go to the hospital after a dc power supply dumped in to my arm and make me pass out for a second and made my arm numb with temporary loss of mobility (it flopped when I walked). I was encouraged to do all of this as my supervisor, his manager, the GM all got bonuses based on my department's sales, which, of course did not trickle down to us... not even a f'ing pizza party type thing. When the bottom line is all that matters, the workers hate you, they are encouraged to do the bare minimum to keep their job, the customers feel pressured and uncomfortable and eventually the store starts losing money due to people simply not wanting to deal with the obviously miserable staff. Also, any company that has sub 2 ply in the bathroom is an abomination.
Do you know why my bowels are slow, boss? It's because I put them on pause, increasing the buffer that needs clearing, and that buffer sometimes needs to be cleared on shift! So because of you, I'm need to clear out 3 jammed trips in one go!
Oh, no, Barty Banks didn't just buy the anesthesia practice, but the whole hospital! A bad turn for doctors and patients, but with much potential material for (dark) comedy...
Working in an OR (Anesthesia) used to be such a fun and satisfying job until about the early 80's. After that, as we used to say, "The beatings will continue until morale improves."
oh yeah. we had internal cover for leave, i.e. there was no leave. and the on-call rota meant effectively there was no sleep. there were of course no lunch breaks, due to constant clinic overrun. and as tasks were never time-limited, effectively there were no toilet breaks either. after 3 years of this i quit for research.
I gasped and said, "NO" out loud when he suggested skimping on hand washing. You know, Mr. Banks, healthcare associated infections cost hospitals big money 😂
Private insurances and equities work exactly like public insurances and public healthcare overall, but half of the money goes into a few billionaire's pocket !
This absolutely true, the expansion of private equity companies purchasing medical groups, then later being acquiesced by a larger equity, or more than likely, an insurance company.
This is every toxic work place honestly. But to add onto this, the hospital I work at is an old building that literally has lead in its pipes. You are advised either to run water from the bathroom tap for a minute before you drink from it (no red flags there) or you have to walk 6min to and then from a filtered water source to get clean water. And it’s encouraged for us to do this on our breaks which means a good chunk of our break time is taken to literally just access clean water.
As someone with ibs and difficult to "plan" bm's this is both hilarious and awful. Is it gonna be an all at once one minute bm, or is it going to be a sit there and go and wait and go and wait, etc. Only the enteric nervous system knows, and it ain't taking...
Interesting bit a of trivia. The average first world nation with public healthcare and the inefficient government bureaucracy that goes with it spends 10% of it's gross domestic product on health care. America with it's mostly private healthcare spends 15%. Because instead of one inefficient bureaucracy your average American city has a dozen or more inefficient bureaucracies in the form of multiple independent hospitals, clinics, insurance companies etc etc. There is no incentive for private companies to be efficient so long as they spend enough on advertising to convince people that they are.
And yet they want to privatize more healthcare. Here in Ontario they are trying to open more private clinics. We need to fight for public healthcare workers and vote the clowns out as soon as we can.
Ok but… and I cant believe I’m saying this… in PE’s defense (yuck), there does need to be something said about people who take half an hour *every day* to use the bathroom (outside of their breaks/lunch). I worked in a nursing home one summer and my “coworker” (in quotes due to the following) would consistently disappear for half an hour every day. Shockingly, it only seemed to happen around the time we were supposed to give the residents their showers. Amazingly, after management tried to get onto me about not taking a 2 person assist resident to the showers, and me letting them know about this uniquely timed habit, she stopped doing that. Almost like she was wasting time to get out of work.
Currently working under PE and it has been the worst thing to have ever happened to healthcare. It is scary, oh wait and we are reducing staff... I now manage a team of one, we need a team of minimum 8. God only knows what will happen when they try to recapitalize this year.
This is why I’ve always tilted to be sympathetic to labour, even though I’m pretty privileged and probably in no danger of ever becoming working class. Eventually they’ll figure out how to treat professional workers like labour - and I can see it happening already to engineers and IT and doctors. These people don’t stop with labour. Labour is just the weakest class and first to be wrung dry. When they’re done, they’ll need to find another class to bleed dry.
Professional workers are working class, my friend. You must do labor to survive and you are ultimately subject to the whims of those who do not. It doesn't matter if you have more money than me. Solidarity is the way 🤝

She called a whole meeting over that, but our teacher sided with me on that. That nurse didn't look at me at all for the rest of the month and I was happy to help a different one.
What I'm trying to say is, don't let people like that dictate your life, even at work. If they need it so urgent, they can do it themselves.
I love that you stood up for yourself! You deserve to be treated like a human being and not some shit smear on the bottom of someone's shoe. So annoying when people think they can treat someone else however they want
it's not really a problem of "people like that..." the problem is we live in a dictatorship run by insurance companies and the fossil fuel industry. the people who enforce this system are more than annoying- they are traitors to the human race as a whole
but barty banks is not a traitor, he's just a capitalist loyal to his class. until we change the system itself, people like that will always dictate our lives
I've had a general manager like that. Except for payroll, she didn't do a thing. I was a trainee manager for a restaurant and I had a general manager that would just sit in her office all day watching TH-cam videos/movies and would invite friends round to have takeaways etc. Unless it was busy, she wouldn't work and when it was busy, she would get annoyed because it meant working. The restaurant we worked in was also a training one, because it wasn't busy in comparison to the other local restaurants.
Been plenty of times I've had to serve customers and also cook it.
She got put under investigation for a few things and was given a transfer to a much busier restaurant. I heard that she didn't last long and left 😂
Good for you. Nursing students add a lot to the patient environment; important to feel safe to make your needs known.
@Bonnie MacEvoy they really do. They bring laughter and have a better attitude. The thing is, I am a med uni student, and the nurses were bossing us around
One of my colleagues, I'll call him Tim, used to clock into work at the hospital, take the daily newspaper, and go across the hall for his morning ritual. He had trained his bowels to empty every morning at 08:02. On hospital time. Hope you are laughing in heaven as you see this, Tim!

I got on at 0630 and took my lunch/first break at 1630 one day. I was running around like crazy with 6 patients, 4 discharges and 2 admits. The charge said she’ll watch my patients while I take my lunch break. MD comes into the break room and goes “we need to do a bedside fecal occult right now.” And I said “I just got on my break, and charge is watching patients, so please ask her.” My manager came in and said I had to do it since charge was helping another patient. We do the bedside occult, and my manager comes up to me after and goes “why are you taking your break so late? We get pings on our report for that.” And I just went quiet. This system is not sustainable, and we’re unfortunately losing more healthcare workers than we’re gaining. My last company made record profits last year too.
Bartholemew Banks is SOOOOOO scary accurate!!!!!! "He runs bowel while he runs bowel!" CLASSIC!!!!!!!!!!!! I left two practices that were great, fun, and made money, until the inevitable sale to PA. ......after Vulture Capital/Private Equity came in, I had to take a 45 minute pause in the middle of a simple wound defect repair after a skin excision. Why? Because Private Equity put a "freeze" on all instrument purchases, and the surgery packs we had suffered the usual dulling/breakage/loss that is a part of a busy practice. So the few packs we had contained unusable instruments, which we would discover ONLY after they were being opened and used. Nurses were told to "pack and autoclave," regardless of the condition of the instruments. I had to wait with the patient in the procedure room while my nurse scrounged enough sterile instruments to complete the case. Sick.
Good god. I pierced professionally about 15 years ago in a tattoo shop that had stricter instrument quality standards than that, ffs. (It was a notably excellent shop, we actually used disposable everything/didn't even have or need an autoclave and the industry has come a long way over the years, so I don't mean any implied shade to the body art scene ... but I feel like anyone can agree that if even the world's best tattoo shop is stricter about having plenty of clean high-quality equipment available than the worst hospital, then something is wrong with the damn hospitals)
Interestingly enough, private equity owned hospitals fail at almost 100% rate. Read it somewhere.

.5 ply toilet paper?
Barty Banks is a MONSTER. D:
Just draw more and fold it. Less ply is less efficient.
And quicker handwashing afterward 💩
Its the extra narrow toilet paper that's genious
It's what they use at my job. You use twice as much to wipe the same area. Same with paper towels. I once brought in a roll of Bounty for an experiment and then promptly forgot it. Suspiciously, it's still being used to this day.
I can't wait for Med Student Mafia vs Bartholomew Banks. Their battle will be legendary.
Omg THIS
And then pray life imitates art this time
Yes PLEASE!
This pains me because what these people don't understand is that there exists a point where if you pressure your workers any further their productivity is just going to plummet. Those 10 minutes in a bathroom is a morale boost coupled together with stress relieve coupled together with idea generation coupled together with error correction.
I used to work in a call center for a bank and you would have to swipe in and out of the door to get to the bathroom so they could track how long you were gone down to the second. On a 10hr day the amount of acceptable away from desk time was 2 minutes. This skit gave me flashbacks
First job in IT call center, I got in trouble for going pee more than during my breaks/lunch. I timed myself a few times - I'd be gone and back within *three minutes*. My bladder would be in physical pain if I tried waiting the entire 2 hours to my next break. Had so many fucking UTIs caused by holding it for too long from that job. Fuck management like that.
I'd just hold the door open, you get what you deserve
this is actually illegal in australia
Paying proportionally less based on how much time you spent actually working makes some sense, but a fixed quota is inhumane.
That's so freaking BS. Mine take like ten minutes IF I'm lucky-way longer if I'm not. I maybe take five just to pee! 💩 Is a whole boss battle!
Worries about a 11min bathroom break, then spends 1 min 45 seconds telling him how much time he's wasting. Makes sense.
That 1 min 45 seconds is an investment and is expected to pay dividends over the long term.
Even if Bill only shaves his pooping time by a few minutes each time as a result of this conversation, just after the first one, the time spent on the conversation is already made up. An exceptional return.

@@ColdRunnerGWN Nope, but the sweet returns are very enticing. The dark side constantly tries to lure one over.
I would suggest that they should institute mandatory 8 hours of training for all staff on 'personal time management' - I'm sure that would pay off in the long run, and hey, if they get training, that's got to improve morale too!

Had a boss try to tell me that I needed to poop less. I said no because I was on a poop schedule, one that I don't get to decide when I poop but I do get to decide that I poop. The same boss told me that I needed to show up 15 minutes early to be on the floor ready to work when the shift bell wrung, I said I would if he let me clock in 15 minutes early, to which he said no.
Seriously some bosses man.
That’s pretty common behaviour in my experience. Bosses want to extort unpaid time and labour from you, stealing, as they call it.
Had a coworker with IBS, the boss tried to pull that crap on him. Thankfully the entire conversation was documented via email and HR sorted it out… they can’t afford a lawsuit.
They ring a bell at shift change? Where is this?
It wasn't a job in medicine, but I worked in a place where my boss spent a whole day timing my bathroom breaks. It was awful and I found out later in that year that I have a rare genetic kidney disease.
This is scarily accurate and why so many businesses are run like this. It also applies to companies with different CEOs every 3-5 years. They get paid in stocks and have to wait 3-5 years to cash those stocks so they try to increase the stock value at any cost neglecting maintenance and other aspects of the business as its the next CEOs problem. They want to get as much as possible when they cash those stocks and leave the company running on bare bones while they get their golden parachute of stocks out of the company.
Problem with that is they look at short-term value instead of long-term.
Edit: yes I am saying the problem is the compensation structure is they don’t look at longterm success, value, or care, or even employees or patients, but rather short-term gain. The fact that a comment disagreeing with me then saying the same thing in correction gets double likes tells me I was somehow not clear, so hope this is more clear.
@@joshuamclean4588 that's not a problem, it's how their compensation is designed to work. They don't care about long term success, because they're paid specifically to not care.
😮
Also the same people benefiting from a broken system then take their millions and pay politicians not to fix it.
This is why the idea of running government like a company is so terrible!
I got pulled into a managers office when I worked for the BS.. insurance company cause I went to the bathroom too much. Told either leave me alone or we would take it up with HR and my doctor. She backed down.
Truth. Same thing happened to a coworker when I had a telephonic case mgt gig about 13 years ago. Timed the bathroom breaks and said he was on too long. He never called in and posted good inbound call numbers. Appalling
I've started asking everyone who comments on my bathroom time if they want to know about my bowel problems. So far I've had one taker who very sarcastically asked me "Does it start with an I and end with nstagram?", but didn't appreciate my reply of "No, it starts with a c and ends with onstipation".
My worst work experience ever was at a private equity company. The managers were so concerned with meeting arbitrary KPI targets that they failed to consider things like morale and basic respect / decency. Eventually all of us just started putting in the minimum possible effort, taking extra long lunch breaks, etc. They sorely missed their targets and eventually went bankrupt shortly after we left.
Beautiful.

I had this with one of my old jobs. they gave me, well, shit for taking too long and too frequent breaks in the restroom. After talking with my doctor it seemed the case was a matter of ibs compounded by the fact that the only food i could afford was making it worse. So I told them that a) I had a doctor's note so they could kindly shove it and b) if they really wanted to increase worker efficiency, perhaps either provide meal assistance for the employees or pay them better. You know, so that our internal organs weren't a sluice box fueled only by coffee and the dollar menu at taco bell.
They didn't change anything, but the doctor's note did get them to piss off.
Isn't it fun when you have to get a doctor's note to enforce that your work is legally required to give you a bare minimum semblance of human decency?
😢
I always stewed about providing care in a university tertiary pediatric hospital center that, with the health insurance provided by the job, I couldn’t afford for my own kids without first bankrupting the family and then having to get that sick family member onto Medicaid. I have since retired and my kids are all self supporting, but even with Medicare and two supplemental healthcare policies, I could not afford a long lasting catastrophic illness.
The American “healthcare system” is broken and the bottom line bean counters deserve a big slice of the responsibility pie.
The money lost from the time spent on this conversation was taken out of Bill's next paycheck
Don't forget that private equity firms also use the equity of the hospital to take out massive loans before running the hospital into the ground and selling it off.

This would be funny if it weren’t real… No healthcare worker out there should have to do a “time study” and track their minute by minute productivity across the day, including “10:55 to 11:06 bathroom.” Can just hear the managers saying that could’ve been a one unit charge for a patient (8 minutes). I feel for Bill.
I had to do one of those... included 16 minutes for filling out the time accountability form.
Time studies can be very useful if not misused. Problem is they often are trying to turn everything in assembly line levels of per minute production.
I did that for one job, but i did the time study to show mgmt that we need more staff. They didnt like my findings 🥴
@@AshUndone Yeah… I had to account for every minute too, including how long it took to page and talk with a doctor, walk from one end of the hospital to the next, etc… Would’ve been more productive not having to fill out the amount of detail in the time study
@@TheGreektrojan I agree. I think having a good manager who actually takes the time to look through time studies after rather than leaving it on their employees to “identify areas of misused minutes” would actually be helpful. Unfortunately, some managers only care about the minutes and productivity - to the point that they broadcast everyone’s weekly productivity score for all to see in the office… abusing the point of both productivity and time studies.

For real, I just started out as secondary biller but worked my way up. The people in Administration are no joke. That is THEIR LIFE. Their AA was from the same town as me and this wench would literally put her nose up in the air..... and I was married into a quite well respected (read: they were/are still rich and in politics and paid people off) family, at the time. Once, a far extended, but well known, cousin was visiting the hospital as a publicity op. He (the cousn) and I were conversing and she (the AA) was practically glued to my side, huge smile, extolling my virtues. I just laughed, walked away, and called up the cousin's wife later to tell her what was going on.
Good times..... good times.......
Let a manager try this with me, I can't _wait_ to subject them to all the intricacies of my daily medication regimen & the intimate details of how it impacts (just a pun...or is it?🤔) my bowel function.

Correct attitude. Putting up with it only enables it.
I feel stressed just from watching this and I don't even work in the medical field.
Barty’s got nothing on Amazon! They had their workers wear diapers. Banks needs to step up his game and require all employees to have permanent colostomies removing the need for toilet breaks altogether. The staff bathrooms can be converted to something that’ll generate more hospital revenue. Like extra vending machines. Gotta make sure those visitors end up as future patients with dodgy tuna sandwiches or further down the line with poorly controlled diabetes.
No Amazon employees ever wore diapers. A few delivery drivers urinate in bottles, but that was by choice.
Retail: "We're all adults here, don't ask to use the restroom. Just don't smoke inside."
Retail's improved since ... {checks watch} almost every experience I've ever heard of anyone else having with it :P
Just teasing, I'm sincerely glad that you're describing a better state of things than I'm used to hearing about
I work in healthcare and can confirm I’ve set a timer going into the bathroom. We have to see 27-30 patients daily booking every 15 minutes back to back while still dealing with forms, labs, and patient messages/calls. If nature calls at the wrong time you risk falling behind. Healthcare has become such a shit show. *pun intended*
Goddamn you hit me right where it hurts. I’ve been out 6yrs and my hospital has had 3 owners. Switched EMRs each time. They saved money with the last one by providing almost no training beforehand and no in-person support afterwards.

I’m the Cath/EP labs I have worked at most of the seasoned staff trained their bowls to go at a certain time during work hours. Some even made sure they don’t overlap. I’m sure the hospital environment isn’t the only ones like this. Nothing like being paid to do your business
As much as I love watching your efforts, videos of this kind remind me of how plutocratic our healthcare system is, and how very wrong that is.
I don't think disgust is too strong a word.
I also believe, as a Veteran of the US Navy, that our country can do far better than this!
The scripting and delivery make me laugh because they're brilliant and cry because they're true.
Health care should not be an investment in any capacity. The healthcare and pharmaceutical industry needs a severe overhaul in this country ASAP.
Worked at a retail store, we can call it Worst Purchase, I was encouraged to clock out before I take a 10 min break, I was encouraged to work 9 hrs, bill 8, I was encouraged to not call in sick when I had strep, I was encouraged to not go to the hospital after a dc power supply dumped in to my arm and make me pass out for a second and made my arm numb with temporary loss of mobility (it flopped when I walked).
I was encouraged to do all of this as my supervisor, his manager, the GM all got bonuses based on my department's sales, which, of course did not trickle down to us... not even a f'ing pizza party type thing. When the bottom line is all that matters, the workers hate you, they are encouraged to do the bare minimum to keep their job, the customers feel pressured and uncomfortable and eventually the store starts losing money due to people simply not wanting to deal with the obviously miserable staff.
Also, any company that has sub 2 ply in the bathroom is an abomination.
Do you know why my bowels are slow, boss? It's because I put them on pause, increasing the buffer that needs clearing, and that buffer sometimes needs to be cleared on shift! So because of you, I'm need to clear out 3 jammed trips in one go!

oh yeah. we had internal cover for leave, i.e. there was no leave. and the on-call rota meant effectively there was no sleep. there were of course no lunch breaks, due to constant clinic overrun. and as tasks were never time-limited, effectively there were no toilet breaks either. after 3 years of this i quit for research.
I gasped and said, "NO" out loud when he suggested skimping on hand washing. You know, Mr. Banks, healthcare associated infections cost hospitals big money 😂

The slicked back hair....spot on for used carsales person or a hospital CEO
This absolutely true, the expansion of private equity companies purchasing medical groups, then later being acquiesced by a larger equity, or more than likely, an insurance company.
This is every toxic work place honestly.
But to add onto this, the hospital I work at is an old building that literally has lead in its pipes. You are advised either to run water from the bathroom tap for a minute before you drink from it (no red flags there) or you have to walk 6min to and then from a filtered water source to get clean water. And it’s encouraged for us to do this on our breaks which means a good chunk of our break time is taken to literally just access clean water.

You have to draw a line at your bottoms, lest morale bottoms out. Don't leave anyone behind, especially your behinds!
Do not let the government know that 0.5 ply toilet paper is available...
Interesting bit a of trivia. The average first world nation with public healthcare and the inefficient government bureaucracy that goes with it spends 10% of it's gross domestic product on health care. America with it's mostly private healthcare spends 15%. Because instead of one inefficient bureaucracy your average American city has a dozen or more inefficient bureaucracies in the form of multiple independent hospitals, clinics, insurance companies etc etc. There is no incentive for private companies to be efficient so long as they spend enough on advertising to convince people that they are.

Very chilling 😬 Aside from private equity brutality, the business of running hospitals has apparently been tough for physician-owned Steward Health 🙁
This is what we are worried about happening in Ontario right now. Our premier is way into the idea of privatization of healthcare
I just. I'm torn. The way you deliver his lines has me cackling like an idiot even though he's evil incarnate. WELL done.
Don't let the money monsters get to you Bill. 'YOU BE YOU' Bowel movement and all 🤣
Thank you for teaching me how to be an ally to black women 💜
Peoples lives and health are on the line.......no not the patients the shareholders, the corporate board, the administrator they need the cash
In a lot of States a company cannot punish you for bathroom breaks. It depends on the state.
I. Am. Furious. Well done, this skit really hit home.
Ok but… and I cant believe I’m saying this… in PE’s defense (yuck), there does need to be something said about people who take half an hour *every day* to use the bathroom (outside of their breaks/lunch).
I worked in a nursing home one summer and my “coworker” (in quotes due to the following) would consistently disappear for half an hour every day. Shockingly, it only seemed to happen around the time we were supposed to give the residents their showers.
Amazingly, after management tried to get onto me about not taking a 2 person assist resident to the showers, and me letting them know about this uniquely timed habit, she stopped doing that.
Almost like she was wasting time to get out of work.
Currently working under PE and it has been the worst thing to have ever happened to healthcare. It is scary, oh wait and we are reducing staff... I now manage a team of one, we need a team of minimum 8. God only knows what will happen when they try to recapitalize this year.
This is why I’ve always tilted to be sympathetic to labour, even though I’m pretty privileged and probably in no danger of ever becoming working class.
Eventually they’ll figure out how to treat professional workers like labour - and I can see it happening already to engineers and IT and doctors.
These people don’t stop with labour. Labour is just the weakest class and first to be wrung dry. When they’re done, they’ll need to find another class to bleed dry.
Professional workers are working class, my friend. You must do labor to survive and you are ultimately subject to the whims of those who do not. It doesn't matter if you have more money than me. Solidarity is the way 🤝
If you depend on exchanging time, labour (mental or physical) or other services for wealth, you are working class. It’s pretty broad
I don't work at a hospital - or even in the healthcare field - but this sounds eerily familiar. . .
We installed a phone in there for a reason! 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
