I found that the easiest parts :') before you know it you have to combine it with hormone interactions, activity patterns associated with different diseases and you slowly go insane.
As a Neurologist this is 100% accurate. Only thing missing is throwing shade at psychiatrist for us having the same Boards and Diploma and Psychiatry is listed first when we all know Neurology predates Psychiatry.
hi lev, I’m 16 and want to be a neurologist when I’m older, I obviously don’t want to bore you on asking for how to go about doing so. But I did want to see if you could tell me how hard it was to do the whole process and how hard is your job now, maybe on a scale of 1-10. Just based on how much free time and your work-schedule is.
“Real-life walking homunculus” sounds like a neuro’s fav, a double entendre for both the neuroanatomical term for the cortical sensory homunculus and for the fully-formed little man inside a sperm cell. Elite shade! The inference in the smooth brain disorder insult is masterful; it’s a court-tested alternate term for congenitally stupid.
@@JamesDavis-ps6yy Americans seem to have no appreciation of using artful incisive insults. It’s not easy to learn if you weren’t brought up in the culture!

That's a common misconception. We have treatments for epilepsy, headaches, stroke, MS, many autoimmune CNS and neuromuscular diseases, essential tremor, Parkinson's, and many others. The nervous system is the most complex system in the human body and many of its components are not easily accessible to tools of research, and this of course led to difficulties in developing treatments for some diseases. In addition, a great portion of human diseases are neurological, which makes each disease-specific population very small with a few exceptions which adds to the difficulty. However, even for diseases like ALS, Alzheimer's and similar diseases that are very complex and no effective treatments exist yet, the neurologist can give the patient and family perspective and supportive treatment which is often lacking when the same patient goes to other specialists, for example one of the most important things to tell an Alzheimer's patient family is that the patient is largely unaware of his/her impairment but their emotional system is intact to a large degree so they know when you (the family) are upset or happy and they respond to that usually just reflecting your emotions, so one way to keep them happy is that you don't display negative emotions to them. Another tip is that you should avoid making them anxious or frustrated by covering their tracks. If they keep saying the same story over and over, keep smiling and responding appropriately without saying "you just told me this 5 minutes ago". If they leave the stove on, just turn it off without reminding them that they forgot it, etc. The point is that we do have treatments for many neurological diseases, we are working hard on treatments for others, and our supportive measures make a big difference in people's lives.

@@giftsenpai neuroscience and neurology are different. neuroscience is the non-clinical study of the brain and nervous system, and if you got a masters/doctorate in neuroscience, you would be doing brain research. neurologists are medical doctors that specialize in the nervous system. you would be treating patients with neurological problems, and you can specialize in many areas of neurology such as behavior, memory, cognitive, etc.. if you wanted to do neurology, you would preferably get your bachelors degree (if you can find a school that offers a B.S. in neuroscience, do that) and then go straight into medical school. a bachelors will take 4 years after high school, medical school is another 4 years (and you have to do good on the MCAT, the medical school entrance exam), and then after that you will have to complete residency programs to become licensed, which is about another 4-6 years. (specialization in an area of neurology would take longer, but you would likely do that later). as an M.D. in neurology, you would be making at least 100,000 a year starting out, which can go up to well beyond 200,000 further down the line. if you wanted to get a post-grad degree in neuroscience, it would just be 6 years after high school to get your masters, and another 2 years if you wanted to get a doctorate. you won't make a lot of money as a neuroscientist (and jobs are hard to get) but the career is much less demanding. regardless of which route you take, neuroscience and neurology are both very difficult and require a lot of academic rigor. if you have at least a 3.5 GPA in high school (with honors and AP courses), you are in good standing. if not, you will have to seriously go hard in college. while working during college is certainly possible, you don't want to cripple yourself. although it may suck, you can pay back loans later. you cant change your GPA later, and that will really matter.

Having barely scraping by neuroscience in med school, thought about punching the brain and the spinal cord for its complex neurological pathways, and making me rethink my decision of being a neurologist, but this made me laugh. Thank you Doc!
@@MultiNerve honestly Dr. i dont know, so i had to look it up, but i guess the posterior dorsal columns of the spinal cord.. please correct me if im wrong,
You see, this is actually a trick question. The real answer is to punch their pancreas in order to incite lasting insufficiency leading to diabetes that manifests in symptoms like polyneuropathy (among others) which in turn may cause a sensory ataxia. Being Romberg positive tells you very little actually (which is why a more detailed description is far more useful) as some may already classify poor balance with open eyes ‘Romberg positive’ which it technically isn’t as that would just be an inexecutable Romberg test (and also probably a cerebellar problem). True Romberg positivity tells you that the cause of the symptoms is probably sensory (when there’s multidirectional instability) or possibly central/vestibular (if there is disbalance into a single direction), all with different areas to punch as the minimal requirement. Tl;dr Writing a sufficiently detailed examination report is always nice to have.
My neurologist said "all neurologist have brain disorders. Especially the ones that say they don't." He had Obsessive Compulsive Disorder, but or maybe because of it, he was one of the best in the area.
🤣🤣🤣 THANK YOU SOOO MUCH! When I initially was being evaluated for and diagnosed with RRMS I had the unicorn of neurologists: she made eye contact, was friendly, and never acted like there had to be much more interesting patients. Having spent a lot of time around neurologists growing up (my father had PPMS), I realized how special she was! Then my disease process changed and I needed to go on an infusion therapy, so I had to transfer care to the neuro who handled all that. I call him "The Little Prince". Everyone who knows him -- patients, staff, colleagues -- all say the same thing "He's brilliant, but ..." He's not mean (that I know of) like this neuro in the video, but he's definitely, um, something!
Well, actually in Germany, we neurologist, at least in hospitals, most of the time simply wear scrubs... That doesn't make us less narcissistic or compulsive though :P That said, I had a senior doctor once just like his neurologist character ;P (Said by a neurology resident during his mandatory (at least here in Germany) year in psychiatry with growing self awareness)
Had my first session (as a patient) with my neurologist last week. Her written report described me as ‘highly intellectual’ which is either the height of praise or the height of sarcasm. 😂
Maybe both? Might not have the highest opinion of everyone else so resigned herself to you being as good as it gets 🤷🏻♀️ (PS , I’m sure you’re a lovely person, and coming from a neurologist, it is still high praise 😁)
This made my morning! Thank you. Neurology is my all time fav character of yours and this took the cake. The second he slid into frame with that face 🤓, I cracked up 😂😂😂😂.
All neurologist's expressions give BIG BRAIN ENERGY vibes 🤣 I am pretty sure you've trained us enough to know who's the neurologist in a crowd of strangers just by looking for the conceited and contemptuous expression they carry 😂
This is hilarious! But I consider myself one of the lucky ones who got to work for a neurologist who happens to be one of the kindest, gentlest, laid back men I've ever known
OK, "real life walking homunculous" made me laugh. Homunculous happens to be the name of a band my college friends & I would go to local bars during undergrad to see perform. Hearing Psychology say that word brought back some great memories. So thank you for the happy nostalgia, and the laugh. My mood is now lifted in a way no SSRI could ever hope to achieve.
Lol. I find it so interesting that your portrayal of the different specialities are so spot on. And it seems like many other agree across the world. Makes me wonder if we choose a certain field because of our own personality (disorder) or if we mold to what we see in other colleagues in that subspeciality?
I have horrible migraines and some other neurological disorder that is still yet to be determined. On my journey to find treatment I have seen every single neurologist in 2 separate hospital groups as well as multiple neurologists at local medical colleges. And all I can say is: This depiction of neurologists is so painfully accurate! I'm loving this!
I literally moved out of state and joined the military to get away from a neurologist I was “dating” at the time. I was only nineteen and seemed like the best course of action waaaay back then 🤷🏽♀️🤣🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸 In retrospect, this skit illustrates only part of it, but pretty spot on. Love these so much for my daily dose of the giggles, thank-you Dr. G 🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽
To everyone who thinks this is a stereotype, this is a perfect replication. The only difference between this and our actual Neurology course director in Med School was that ours had more manic energy. He was (is) the chair of Neurology for the whole University and he mentions it every single time he introduces himself. He constantly calls Primary care doctors dumb and uneducated. He once told a pharmacy student working with us on a clinical rotation, “Your mother doesn’t love you and your brother is better than you” I have never seen such ego in all my medical education. Like dude, you aren’t special for understanding that Migraine auras can cause GI symptoms. You are not the only smart guy.

I think my law prof was a closet neurologist. He once said to our class - 3 weeks away from our finals - we were so stupid that if we were hooked up to an electroencephalogram we’d flatline.
I'm so perplexed that gaining insight on brain mechanics doesn't come with a package of self awareness to apply this knowledge in a productive way to yourself and others.
I really wish my neurologist had a hair fro like the neuro here does, hilarious! But bless his heart for being able to help me with my headaches etc :D
Back when I was 17 and had my first seizure, my neurologist asked me if I was faking it for attention... But, my second neurologist was easily the best doctor I've ever met!
Welp , neurology's "a congenital absence of long term memory" describes a med student's condition perfectly...I am afraid imma have to side with him on this one 🤣 But yeah getting an MRI to see if they had a hippocampus is going a bit too far I can see why he needs therapy now 😂💀
as a year 5 med student, I cannot recall how many times I cried during the nights studying frustrated with myself keep forgetting stuff that I have read for countless times.. for once or twice I even cried to my mom telling her that perhaps I am actually having intellectual disability😂😂😂

Then he wasn't very professional. Wonder what he says about his pts. behind their backs.
@@wholeNwon far from professional, I image they say very colorful words about them! Truth be told I’ve never seen a Neurologist that had both a great beside and also a good clinician, I’m sure they’re out there..
@@shellyrae777 I have but you have to realize that the various specialties select certain personality types. As they cluster within their specialties and subspecialties they reinforce those attributes and quirks among themselves.
@@wholeNwon Then you were lucky, I’ve seen over 7 different ones though the years, and they all remind me of “ The Neurologist” here. I mean I did agree with them, they were a-holes & idiots 😂
"Only enrolled Orthopedic surgeons" made me snort 😂
“A synapse that ran out of neurotransmitters” is low key actually savage. I gotta use that
Needs to be on a Glauc Flock T- shirt/ future merch…..just saying!
I met so many terrible neurologists in my non-medical life and that is extremely accurate.
That said, there are exceptional and empathic and nice ones. I'd love to see the narcissistic neurologist in a clash with the nice one
Thank you for saying that there are lots of good ones. I was finally able to schedule an appointment for a chronic condition I have and reading through the comments was getting me pretty nervous.
That's valid, but I just want two narcissistic ones to roast each other.
I know a few good neurologists. They are mostly women. Some of the guy ones are good tho.
@@ToddBeckerPhoto I have experience with 2. The male was amazing. The female was horrible. Only a year into her residency and thought she new better that all the other doctors that did the same in office test. The other doctors have been finding, consistently the same findings as each other. She, however, didnt. Now I am labeled with a psychological disorder
Someone wise once told me that the last neurologist is usually the best neurologist.
Good to know we're not alone.
NEUROLOGISTS,
ASSEMBLE!
Jonathans vs. Neurologists. Neurologists down in less than a minute.
Here 🙋🏻♀️
What do you call a group of neurologists? A headache
@@pbgandie BRILLIANT.
A group of gastroenterologists, of course, would be a bellyache. (Or, in some circles, a pain in the butt.)
Of dermatologists: a rash.
Of sleep doctors: a snooze.
@@nancylindsay4255 a group of Nephrologists: “a pissing contest”
Waiting for the Neurologist meets the Neurosurgeon video. I imagine it would go the same way it goes in tech, a battle of the wills, wits and egos to determine who’s nerd is bigger.
Nah, they're usually friends. Think of it as the nerds and the jocks of the nervous system. NSG is just orthopedics with non smooth brains.
I want to see that!
The ending made me feel good. I'm dealing with a narcissistic father, and I can never win an argument because of his infallible logic.
😭😭😭😭
As a neurologist, I can attest this is very accurate
I’ve laughed at all episodes …but this one made me laugh so hard my two kids stopped fighting long enough to ask me why was I laughing so much. A true testament to your humor, sir!
Whenever your hair starts to curl I know a neurology appearance is due, it's kinda cool how certain Characters are structured around your hair cut
I feel personally attacked.
Not that I care, as a perfect-brained individual 😂
Am I the only one who wants a dermatologist as well in this cinematic universe?
I absolutely adore all your characters, neuro being my favorite.
Glauc, you have nailed it. Man, you got me at 0:30 itself. I was about to asphyxiate after hearing "he ordered an MRI to see if the student had a hippocampus". 😂
All I see in my head is the neurology face like “yeah, so?”
I have to say, with my experience with Neurologists while dealing with chronic migraine with stroke like auras, this is accurate.
Neurology finally getting what he deserves XD
I'm glad the staff therapist is doing it smart, by doing all the same specialties in a large block of time he only has to worry about dealing with only a few types of personalities in a day
As a person aspiring to be a neurologist, I am honored
Neurosurgeons change low forms of animal life into high forms of plant life. Neurologists water the plants.
Having barely scraping by neuroscience in med school, thought about punching the brain and the spinal cord for its complex neurological pathways, and making me rethink my decision of being a neurologist, but this made me laugh. Thank you Doc!
Which part of the spinal cord would you punch to give yourself a positive Romberg sign?
@@MultiNerve honestly Dr. i dont know, so i had to look it up, but i guess the posterior dorsal columns of the spinal cord.. please correct me if im wrong,
You see, this is actually a trick question.
The real answer is to punch their pancreas in order to incite lasting insufficiency leading to diabetes that manifests in symptoms like polyneuropathy (among others) which in turn may cause a sensory ataxia.
Being Romberg positive tells you very little actually (which is why a more detailed description is far more useful) as some may already classify poor balance with open eyes ‘Romberg positive’ which it technically isn’t as that would just be an inexecutable Romberg test (and also probably a cerebellar problem). True Romberg positivity tells you that the cause of the symptoms is probably sensory (when there’s multidirectional instability) or possibly central/vestibular (if there is disbalance into a single direction), all with different areas to punch as the minimal requirement.
Tl;dr Writing a sufficiently detailed examination report is always nice to have.
@@waterunderthebridge7950 dude thank uuuuuu i appreciate this
@@waterunderthebridge7950 see, I’m just an M2 so all I can give you is being more confused leaving the patient presentation than before it started
The therapist get another therapist at the end of the day and the neurologist starting to experience an existential crisis.
My neurologist said "all neurologist have brain disorders. Especially the ones that say they don't."
He had Obsessive Compulsive Disorder, but or maybe because of it, he was one of the best in the area.
🤣🤣🤣 THANK YOU SOOO MUCH! When I initially was being evaluated for and diagnosed with RRMS I had the unicorn of neurologists: she made eye contact, was friendly, and never acted like there had to be much more interesting patients. Having spent a lot of time around neurologists growing up (my father had PPMS), I realized how special she was! Then my disease process changed and I needed to go on an infusion therapy, so I had to transfer care to the neuro who handled all that. I call him "The Little Prince". Everyone who knows him -- patients, staff, colleagues -- all say the same thing "He's brilliant, but ..." He's not mean (that I know of) like this neuro in the video, but he's definitely, um, something!
Hilarious! I now know for a fact that a fancy tie/bow tie is mandatory for neurologists all across the world!
Well, actually in Germany, we neurologist, at least in hospitals, most of the time simply wear scrubs...
That doesn't make us less narcissistic or compulsive though :P
That said, I had a senior doctor once just like his neurologist character ;P
(Said by a neurology resident during his mandatory (at least here in Germany) year in psychiatry with growing self awareness)
Note the bow tie had EEG waves and the other tie was a phi beta kappa honor society tie. Nice touches
Had my first session (as a patient) with my neurologist last week. Her written report described me as ‘highly intellectual’ which is either the height of praise or the height of sarcasm. 😂
,🤣
Maybe both? Might not have the highest opinion of everyone else so resigned herself to you being as good as it gets 🤷🏻♀️
(PS , I’m sure you’re a lovely person, and coming from a neurologist, it is still high praise 😁)
Smooth brain disorder -> lissencephaly.
Thank me later
Psych student here. Those put-downs are hilarious! This is a slice of perfection! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
This made my morning! Thank you. Neurology is my all time fav character of yours and this took the cake. The second he slid into frame with that face 🤓, I cracked up 😂😂😂😂.
Licensed psychologist here. I found great joy in this video. Thank you for your content! Brightens my day after a stressful caseload of patients!
Best one yet. With Neuro as my specialty, I love it when the neurologist gets a call down to earth lol 😂
As a nurse, all I can say is ‘Testify!’
This neurosurgeon can’t wait for the Neurologist and the Neurosurgeon to meet 😂
All neurologist's expressions give BIG BRAIN ENERGY vibes 🤣
I am pretty sure you've trained us enough to know who's the neurologist in a crowd of strangers just by looking for the conceited and contemptuous expression they carry 😂
So true 😂
You have to be careful, you may have misidentified a neuro surgeon.
This is hilarious! But I consider myself one of the lucky ones who got to work for a neurologist who happens to be one of the kindest, gentlest, laid back men I've ever known
I'm a neurologist, and I approve of this depiction.
OK, "real life walking homunculous" made me laugh. Homunculous happens to be the name of a band my college friends & I would go to local bars during undergrad to see perform. Hearing Psychology say that word brought back some great memories. So thank you for the happy nostalgia, and the laugh. My mood is now lifted in a way no SSRI could ever hope to achieve.
Lol. I find it so interesting that your portrayal of the different specialities are so spot on. And it seems like many other agree across the world. Makes me wonder if we choose a certain field because of our own personality (disorder) or if we mold to what we see in other colleagues in that subspeciality?
A walking homunculus 😂 omg that is a top tier neurologist burn
I have horrible migraines and some other neurological disorder that is still yet to be determined. On my journey to find treatment I have seen every single neurologist in 2 separate hospital groups as well as multiple neurologists at local medical colleges. And all I can say is:
This depiction of neurologists is so painfully accurate! I'm loving this!
Applying Neurology in the 2023 match and this made my day, as all your videos do!
This guy kills me! I’m an RN in the emergency department and he nails so many of the consultants. Love it! 🤣
I literally moved out of state and joined the military to get away from a neurologist I was “dating” at the time. I was only nineteen and seemed like the best course of action waaaay back then 🤷🏽♀️🤣🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸 In retrospect, this skit illustrates only part of it, but pretty spot on.
Love these so much for my daily dose of the giggles, thank-you Dr. G 🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽
The second neurologist's face breaks me every time 😂
A real life walking homunculus killed me 😂😂
The neurology glasses and general demeanor always kill me.
I feel for the neurologist. He’s got some good points.
Thank you Dr Glaucomflecken, now I feel better for being called to have a brain “smaller than a peanut”😂😂😂
OMG, this is awesome! IRB submission, pubs, student getting useless MRI. Laughed out loud funny!! Good job. Bravo!!!!
Neurologist finally went to therapy!! 🤣🤣🤣
You have every single specialty down like I have never seen before! It’s absolutely amazing.
To everyone who thinks this is a stereotype, this is a perfect replication. The only difference between this and our actual Neurology course director in Med School was that ours had more manic energy.
He was (is) the chair of Neurology for the whole University and he mentions it every single time he introduces himself. He constantly calls Primary care doctors dumb and uneducated. He once told a pharmacy student working with us on a clinical rotation, “Your mother doesn’t love you and your brother is better than you”
I have never seen such ego in all my medical education. Like dude, you aren’t special for understanding that Migraine auras can cause GI symptoms. You are not the only smart guy.
Oh my goodness... What an absurd thing to say to someone. It's so out of line I burst out laughing reading it but can't imagine what you guys go through dealing with him.
@@user-et2ng1qb2m Imagine hearing that if you are 24 and already have a fraught relationship with your mom. In my case it would probably have lead to some real psychological damage.
I hope enough students will file complaints to get him fired. Tenure can protect you, but it doesn't mean you can just do whatever you want.
I think my law prof was a closet neurologist. He once said to our class - 3 weeks away from our finals - we were so stupid that if we were hooked up to an electroencephalogram we’d flatline.
I'm so perplexed that gaining insight on brain mechanics doesn't come with a package of self awareness to apply this knowledge in a productive way to yourself and others.
That is odd behavior and seems to border on the pathologic.
I really wish my neurologist had a hair fro like the neuro here does, hilarious! But bless his heart for being able to help me with my headaches etc :D
Having a doctor with a hair fro is always a plus.
Absolutely wanna get that EEG bowtie for my neurology friends!
Man, I would listen to any audiobook in his voice!!!
Back when I was 17 and had my first seizure, my neurologist asked me if I was faking it for attention... But, my second neurologist was easily the best doctor I've ever met!
Neurology: we localized the lesion
Patient: great, so now what?
Neurology: …
I’ve had to isolate for a week and these interviews have given me life 😂🤣😂. Thanks doc!
The neurologist face is literal gold, the only thing that can rival it is the Jonathan nod 😂😂
I like that you brought back the other neurologist and his bow tie.
Come on, we're not that bad!
I myself try very hard to downlevel my diagnostics explanations for the semiologic-impaired.
😂😂😂😂😂
Please do pediatrics next, pretty please!! I’m a pediatrician in training and feel like all my feelings are valid whenever he makes an appearance 😂🤣🍭!
The EEG tracing in the bow tie . Hilarious detail😂
Oh my. We found one of the few people that can not only stick up to the neurologist, but also get a handle on him. Respect to the therapist.
As always, unbelievably hilarious. I'm always so happy when you post a new video, because I know I'm going to start my day donkey laughing out loud.
Welp , neurology's "a congenital absence of long term memory" describes a med student's condition perfectly...I am afraid imma have to side with him on this one 🤣
But yeah getting an MRI to see if they had a hippocampus is going a bit too far I can see why he needs therapy now 😂💀
as a year 5 med student, I cannot recall how many times I cried during the nights studying frustrated with myself keep forgetting stuff that I have read for countless times.. for once or twice I even cried to my mom telling her that perhaps I am actually having intellectual disability😂😂😂
He paid for it!
😁🤔😜 "... . A synapse that ran out of neurotransmitters. ..." ! 😉🤣 can i call my husband that the next time we have a "Discussion" ?!? 😜
If theres one thing a narcissist hates, its being told he’s normal and not any different from anyone else. Thats exactly what you did, great video dr.G!!
The unsung hero of this universe is psychology. Imagine having to keep up with all of these different people and obviously cares for each and approaches them in ways that work best for them. Always love the _____ goes to psychology series 😚
Except he’s not playing a psychologist, he’s playing a psychiatrist, who is a medical doctor unlike psychologists. Otherwise all of these skits with different specialties wouldn’t work.
Can't tell if sarcasm or not
@@yallamafez2428 oh my bad i mixed up phycology and psychiatry
@@fmleverynameistakenx lol tbh i meant it seriously 😅 sorry that it was unclear
@@laurahinze4035 no worries :D just found the mix up of psychologists and psychiatrists really funny, if intended or not. It's kind of a trope that they get confused for eachother
Gotta be prepared when facing neurologists in therapy 😂
My first neurologist had those exact glasses. Can confirm
I love 💕 this doctor!!’ Hits the nail on the head describing specialists..😂
I don't know anything about medicine but Dr. Grahamcracker's videos always make me laugh
Dr. 'Grahamcracker' 🤣
Oh no! Dr. Hügelkultur is going to become the next Skinnypants Baldersnatch! 😱
Lol same 🤣
In my head I call him Dr. Glaucoma hahaha
" Smooth brain disorder" only in orthopedic surgeons ... rude and hilarious 😂 .. @ Dr.Glaucomflecken .. thanks for "Neurologist" . 😇
I love your Neuro character! The only thing worse is working with the MD/PhD Neuros.
One of your best ones yet!! Keep it up brother, these are absolutely gold.
This content just gets better and better every day !!! Doc please use more Neurology in your videos !! And huge appreciation to you and your incredible abilities to make videos and make us laugh! Much love and support from India 💞
We all appreciate your work on this channel so much!! It's so good! And it makes me want to send this video to every neurologist I know 😂
(even if it meant I might be the next one in therapy getting called a bully)
Proud to be a part of the Glock Flock. This content is hilarious and refreshing. A+ material! Keep it going Doc!
"New England Journal of Who Gives a Shit" Straight out of Dr. Cox in scrubs lol perfect
