I once had a lecture from an orthopedic surgeon who'd done residency in a rural area. His presentation included photos of kitchen utensil injuries, factory equipment injuries, and a horrific combine accident. His nostalgia was *palpable.*
My Ortho loved me when I came in with a badly broken knee cap from when this first calf Simmental heifer collapsed on my left leg when she collapsed in the calving chute as I was using calf pullers trying to wrench out a piss poor presented and a hair too big calf out of her rear end. I couldn't feel my leg for a while but I got that big red baldie calf out of her. The cowboys had to get her up, pull me up and I hobbled to the shop to get the farm pickup to drive 50 miles to town. I got the knee cap fixed, put in a brace then was home in two days to finish calving the heifer group. A month later, I started calving old cows, got my stitches out on my own accord (needle nose pliers and betadine for sanitation) and hobbled around without that stupid brace. Ortho was like "be grateful your bones healed better than expected considering you destroyed not only your leg brace but an arm cast that I broke in a bar fight banging it on someone's stupid head from a few years prior. Ranching is half science, half rodeo clown and part Texaco Mike of the calf pullers/farm pickups, cattle chutes and we have a vet that we just call to refill all of the standard antibiotics, tranquilizers and Banamine, which is a livestock pain killer. He shows up once or twice a year to see if I need anything or to stitch wounds either on me, the farm dogs or some prolapse on an old cow. If I need him, I just look down at the sale barn first. Hell, my general med doc was shit faced black out drunk at the bar one night and wrote me out a script for Xanax and blood pressure meds on a Coors Light cocktail napkin including his DEA number.
- just keep operating? - no need to admit anyone because there's no hospital beds? - someone else will look after them post-op? - cefazolin for everyone? I think ortho bro just came to his happy place
@the_multus there are a lot of different antibiotics for a lot of different applications; however, ortho is famous for being the smartest medical students that become incredibly focused after residency. So...they only know the one antibiotic, Ancef. The rural doc only having Ancef means that ortho can only use Ancef whether it's the right antibiotic or not.
I enjoy the irony that Texaco Mike originally was a cheaper alternative for the insurance companies, but has grown to be one of the most competent providers in the Glaucomflecken universe. If the insurance companies ever find out what he actual does, they'll probably drop their coverage.
Texaco Mike would have been a polymath inventor but he came from a poor family and had to leave school at 16 to provide for his family and care for his sick mom.
Ortho Bro has never been so happy. Also, I'm sure Texaco Mike had the triage center set-up because he'd been warning the community of the dangers of making their tractors too powerful, but they just wouldn't listen.
Unless it is T-Mike who made the tractors too powerful, knowing that everyone would need to use his CT-MRI scanning facilities in exchange for all the pies he can handle. 😉
Is it just me or does Ortho feel like one of those kids from Des Moines that says they're from the country and then finally actually went to the country. Like sorry Bro, Iowa City is not a small town
My ortho once did so many MPFL and ACL reconstructions in one day that he tore his rotator cuff. He said it was the best day of his life. They're built different.
I was thinking, “Look at Ortho using all his big medical words, standing tall and ready for action!” Almost brought a tear to my eye with proud Mama energy 🥹🥲🥰😊
When he described the plate for fixing that radius fracture, I was totally expecting a "Just draw what you need and Texaco Mike will fabricate it from his scrap bin". Also, no need to optimize risk factors, just do axillary plexus anaesthesia, and the farmer will probably happily be retracting with his other hand.
Next skit: Ortho Bro needs to see Feelings Bro to be treated for depression, because rhey make him return to the city hospital. Feelings Bro has to call United Healthcare to argue that "Rural Medicine withdrawal"" is a valid diagnosis.
Yes sir here is the letter.. Dear Admin Bros: Leaving to go work with the farm bros. They have a lot of bones to fix. Plus they give me free eggs so I have a lot of protein before I do my post op kettle bell workout Later bros, Ortho.
Are you seriously telling me that THIS is the reason why there are so many orthopedic surgeons in the ruralish Midwest? They came to the Midwest and fell in love with the treatment options? (Also, I didn't know a farmer could break that many bones until I saw what tractors could do. That is... not something you can unsee.)
I lost four people I knew very well to farming accidents. As for me, I've been sent to Ortho because a first calf Simmental heifer collapsed on my left leg when she went down in the calving chute as I was wrenching out that bull calf with calf pullers.
I don't know if he's happier than family medicine, that's a pretty high bar to clear. But they are definitely both on the medals stand for most euphoric a doctor can be.
I was thinking, “Look at Ortho using all his big medical words, standing tall and ready for action!” Almost brought a tear to my eye with proud Mama energy 🥹🥲🥰
Yeah, wait until he finds out how happy they are to find a large animal vet. My cousin married one, and the town practically rolled out the red carpet when they moved in.
Rural: We also don't use Epic - in light of the tractor uprising, we're even keeping computers at arm's length. Ortho: So, what, my handwritten notes will just have to be interpreted by capable medical staff? Rural: Yeah, basically. Ortho: Now I know I'm dreaming, farm bro
Ortho is so choked up at the end that he can't even get out a "bro". All bones and no paperwork with his drug of choice to boot, he will always be happy to help rural medicine. 😁
Like seeing that little kid who loved to play in the mud sitting g in a giant mud puddle...just so happy you don't care about the laundry he creates any more

My daughter told me about a West Texas rural orthopedist's lecture when she was in med school. Seems like this guy specialized in putting people back together in functional ways. Like, maybe you lost your thumb when a rope wrapped around it while you were wrangling a calf, he'd be like "Which toe do you feel like you don't need?" Because he was going to make a thumb out of it. Someone came in with a hand mangled in a tractor hitch, and they said "Just make it where I can still shift my tractor, Doc." So he would fix their hand into a configuration suitable for shifting. Another one I remember (badly) had some injury where they couldn't rotate their wrist, like they lost their supinator or something. The hand was also mangled so they didn't need all their digital muscles, so he took part of something like the flexor digitorum profundus and wrapped it around like the supinator and attached it to where the supinator attached. I think in the end they only had two fingers and a thumb, but they were able to rotate their wrist. Almost certainly I've gotten the details wrong, but the gist of it is that he re-engineered and reused, and took advantage of the plasticity of the brain to be able to reroute its own wiring and make it all work.
"Bones" is the name of Epic's orthopedic-focused component. For the non-medical folks here, Epic is one of the major electronic medical record software programs used in healthcare.
I love the continued mythology being built into the character of Texaco Mike, best off-screen never seen character ever. His presence is always felt strongly.
-Sir? Wake up sir, you hit your head pretty hard while reducing that fracture. Texaco mike? Cow Fracture? What are you talking about sir? [Ortho bro suddenly realizes that he was just having an extremely cool dream]
Non medical person here, but it looked to me Orrho was almost crying tears of joy. Am I reading this right? Dr. G has great skits. I almost forget he's an alter ego for Dr. Flanary. Good times!
I swear Ortho Bro is my favourite character out of all that Dr. Glaucomflecken does!! 💖💖💖 Partly because he's hilarious but also 'cause when I had a proximal displaced humerus break last September, I was sent to an orthopedic surgeon to have it properly accessed. He was truly amazing! Intelligent, empathetic and very funny. He was teaching a resident family physician and an ortho student then and he used my break as a teaching example. When I found that all three of them regularly watched Dr. Glaucomflecken videos, we immediately bonded!! After that, whenever I had to see him, I called him Ortho Bro. I'm kind of sad I don't have any other bones broken so I have an excuse to see him again and share some laughter. He is the ONLY specialist I've ever seen that was empathetic and had a sense of humour (not that I've been to many specialists). Sorry, Dr. Glaucomflecken, but the one ophthalmologist I had to see was really self-important and pompous, and tried his best afterward to sell me some different supplements that he got a profit on. He was quite displeased I wouldn't buy any.
I feel ya. My opthalmologist from childhood to adolescence was a real jackass. I've heard stories about how he kept my mother waiting so long once when I was a kid when she called my father to explain why she hadn't come back she burst into tears. This is not a woman who cries easily. (If you're wondering why they ever took me back to him again, you're not alone, but maybe he was the main guy in the area? Anyway...) I wore seriously coke-bottle glasses for middle school on and wanted very much to try contacts but this was back when they only had the hard kind for the sorts of eye problems I had, and try as I might, I could never get them in. Jerk would tell my mother every year, "Don't worry, when she really wants them she'll learn to put them in." Dafuq? I wanted them with all my might, but that didn't mean I could get them to go in my eye and stay. Go to college, and my second year, a boyfriend said he had had the same problem but there was a new kind now called gas permeable and I should go see an ophthalmologist about it. Saw a local doctor in got them in my eye on the first try. Closing in now on 40 years of wearing RGP lenses and it has been a joy.
Can relate: had an ophthalmologist give me a lecture on obesity when I went in to try and get a cataract fixed. Needless to say I've never darkened his door since. And, for the record I've had 2 cataract surgeries since, plus lost about 120 lbs. 😊
I've talked to every provider I see about the Glaucomflecken universe. Started when I responded to my retinal ophthalmologist introducing her scribe with "omg, you have a Jonathan!"
@@tejaswoman omg, I can relate with those hard contacts. I think I was a freshman in high school & just determined not to have to wear glasses anymore-but oh lord those contacts. Felt like popping a fat piece of cardboard right into your eye. OUCH. The gas permeable weren’t much better imo, but when soft contacts came out…wowwwwww. 😆
Most of us walk out of anatomy class and all the bone info just slides right out of our head. Ortho bro goes home and learns even more about weird little bones no 9ne else has ever heard of, and sings little songs about them under their breath while the rnu long distances
I asked the ortho bro I had gone to about this as he loves Dr. Glaucomflecken's videos. He said they learn those sections on medicine too the same as everyone else. But once they enter practice, it's never needed again. No one's memory is so good that after years of never using or needing what they learned that they'll retain it. Much like learning the basics of a different language and then never speaking, reading or writing it. It's well and truly gone.
Ortho is in heaven. All the broken bones he can get, no need for boring post op stuff and admissions, and he can use ancef! This is heaven for Ortho 😂. Aww I love Dr. Glac's series. LOOOOOVE IT

Partly because he's hilarious but also 'cause when I had a proximal displaced humerus break last September, I was sent to an orthopedic surgeon to have it properly accessed. He was truly amazing! Intelligent, empathetic and very funny. He was teaching a resident family physician and an ortho student then and he used my break as a teaching example. When I found that all three of them regularly watched Dr. Glaucomflecken videos, we immediately bonded!! After that, whenever I had to see him, I called him Ortho Bro. I'm kind of sad I don't have any other bones broken so I have an excuse to see him again and share some laughter.
He is the ONLY specialist I've ever seen that was empathetic and had a sense of humour (not that I've been to many specialists). Sorry, Dr. Glaucomflecken, but the one ophthalmologist I had to see was really self-important and pompous, and tried his best afterward to sell me some different supplements that he got a profit on. He was quite displeased I wouldn't buy any.
I feel ya. My opthalmologist from childhood to adolescence was a real jackass. I've heard stories about how he kept my mother waiting so long once when I was a kid when she called my father to explain why she hadn't come back she burst into tears. This is not a woman who cries easily. (If you're wondering why they ever took me back to him again, you're not alone, but maybe he was the main guy in the area? Anyway...)
I wore seriously coke-bottle glasses for middle school on and wanted very much to try contacts but this was back when they only had the hard kind for the sorts of eye problems I had, and try as I might, I could never get them in. Jerk would tell my mother every year, "Don't worry, when she really wants them she'll learn to put them in." Dafuq? I wanted them with all my might, but that didn't mean I could get them to go in my eye and stay. Go to college, and my second year, a boyfriend said he had had the same problem but there was a new kind now called gas permeable and I should go see an ophthalmologist about it. Saw a local doctor in got them in my eye on the first try. Closing in now on 40 years of wearing RGP lenses and it has been a joy.
Can relate: had an ophthalmologist give me a lecture on obesity when I went in to try and get a cataract fixed. Needless to say I've never darkened his door since.
And, for the record I've had 2 cataract surgeries since, plus lost about 120 lbs. 😊
I've talked to every provider I see about the Glaucomflecken universe. Started when I responded to my retinal ophthalmologist introducing her scribe with "omg, you have a Jonathan!"
@@tejaswoman omg, I can relate with those hard contacts. I think I was a freshman in high school & just determined not to have to wear glasses anymore-but oh lord those contacts. Felt like popping a fat piece of cardboard right into your eye. OUCH. The gas permeable weren’t much better imo, but when soft contacts came out…wowwwwww. 😆
The myth, the legend, the one and only Texaco Mike has returned!
"this is a cow leg" i don't know why but the way you said this absolutely sent me
Thank you so much. We need more Rural medicine, your rural medicine in particular.
I love this sketch. Ortho is both big brain and small brain!
They need space for all the bone knowledge.
Most of us walk out of anatomy class and all the bone info just slides right out of our head. Ortho bro goes home and learns even more about weird little bones no 9ne else has ever heard of, and sings little songs about them under their breath while the rnu long distances
I asked the ortho bro I had gone to about this as he loves Dr. Glaucomflecken's videos. He said they learn those sections on medicine too the same as everyone else. But once they enter practice, it's never needed again. No one's memory is so good that after years of never using or needing what they learned that they'll retain it. Much like learning the basics of a different language and then never speaking, reading or writing it. It's well and truly gone.
I didn't know I loved Ortho until he cried with happiness. ❤
0:21 so good to see that farm bro has a nurse bro walking in the background
I loved Ortho finally showing off 🤣😍 and he got emotional in the end😢🥰❤️🥹
Ortho is in heaven. All the broken bones he can get, no need for boring post op stuff and admissions, and he can use ancef! This is heaven for Ortho 😂. Aww I love Dr. Glac's series. LOOOOOVE IT
t Mike is single handedly keeping rural medicine going 😂
Fascinating to see Ortho Bro, the seemingly infinitely chill dude, be knocked backwards by Rural Medicine's level of chill.
Delightful! Also Texaco Mike is like rural Jonathan. Makes the world turn.
I would love to see that crossover.
@@ElectroNeutrino I fear this may cause some sort of crash of the universe though.
That is right!!!! I haven’t thought about it, but you are 100% right.
This is so good. One of those skits built on the bones (heh) of older skits and really pays off.
As someone 30 miles into the backwoods, i look forward to any rural medicine videos, thanks for the laughs!
When you find yourself genuinely cheering and clapping with delight for a totally fictional character.....🎉🎉
I canonically believe this to be the happiest day of Ortho's life...
I'm looking forward to the Texaco Mike cinematic universe.
Ortho is just like "its so... ..beautiful. I want to stay in this moment forever"
And then Rural Medicine mentioned that they only have ancef
I'm so happy to see ortho happy. He just wants to practice medicine.
Bro. All bone bro wants to do is operate on bones all day. Medicine is for the book bros, bro.
Rural & Ortho: A match made in Heaven
Ortho is relocating into texaco Mike’s basement. Permanently
I think you made Ortho bro's day. It was like a dream working in rural medicine for him 😂
Ortho ain’t leaving. He already bought property down the street.
Once again proof positive that Texaco Mike is a rural Johnathan. 👍😂
We must never actually see Texaco Mike onscreen. Nothing will ever live up to the collective headcanon.
Ah, I'm so happy for Ortho bro. Also, someone needs to start a medical supply company called Texaco Mike's Apothecary and X-ray.
And transport/communication services
Human or cow, bones are bones, and he's all for it.
