So, I had a patient once. I was watching real time while orders kept being deleted and new orders kept being placed. I was about ready to put some calls out because I was so confused as to what was going on. Finally, I turned around and saw the cardiologist. He told me to stop deleting his orders. I told him it wasn't me. Well, lo and behold, the nephrologist was sitting at another computer around the corner and they'd been going back and forth deleting each other's orders. They allegedly then went off to discuss a treatment plan together.
Had a patient 2 weeks ago (I'm in family med) mention during our medication review that his cardiologist and nephrologist always fight over his diuretics. I mentioned it to my supervising physician and he just said, "yeah, we're staying out of that."
As a pharmacist when I see furosemide, spironolactone, and potassium together I'm like aight I'm not calling on this, they've clearly found a balance or are working on one
I had to go to a nephrologist once for BP issues caused by my kidneys. As a biochemist, I know how important the kidneys are to proper fluid balance in the body. When I mentioned this to the nephrologist, he was like "Exactly! Cardiology just doesn't get it." 😂

Good one! I'm a veterinarian, and I attended a lecture about managing patients with both cardiac and renal diseases. We had a cardiologist and an internist with an interest in nephrology (we don't have veterinary nephrologists), and they engaged in some friendly banter. At the end the internist said "and remember, if the heart was really that important, there would be two of them!"
I'm waiting for the patient presentation where I can retort, "Diurese this!!" It's right up there with ER chasing the intern around, shouting, "I've got your McBurney's Point right here!"
I so want to do that every time I see gall stones and cholecystitis on USS and all the surgical reg cares about is did I palpate for Murphy's sign. Yes, I'm a cycling dolphin from ER.
Considering how hard I laugh at these I can't even imagine how much funnier they must be to people in health care. I'd break something laughing I think
I work in the cath lab with cardiologists, among others, it is spot on. I showed one of the electrophysiologists the cardiologist goes to therapy and he about had a stroke from laughing so hard.
Jesus! I have been waiting for these skits my whole professional life as a floor nurse! The amount of times I've had a nephrologist storm up to me, and asked, "Who ordered these fluids?!" And I have to tell them, "the hospitalist did", or "the cardiologist did", and watch their lips curl inward . . . cue eye roll . . .
I cannot help but laugh at all of this , for it reminds me of something that happened many years ago. Something happened and I was rushed in for emergency medical care. No cap ...I was literally dying. Specialists from all departments were brought in to consult. Even dentistry got an "invite" to the party. Was in shock and vitals were dangerously low with a bp at around 53/16 (yes, it was THAT low). Surprisingly , I was quite coherent and conscious enough to understand everything going around me. Not a surprise, Cardiology wanted to take charge. I am not exactly sure what they wanted to do , but Nephrology found out and immediately stopped them. Cardiology was not pleased at all and wanted to know what their problem was. Said that even if something happened, there was at least a "back up". They said that doing what was necessary to save my life, was absolute paramount. Nephrology asked Cardiology if they even bothered to read my ENTIRE medical history and file...for he would have seen that I had a history of bilateral hydronephrosis of the kidneys. Cardiology was a bit stunned when they heard that...and slowly backed away. Nephrology was beaming with a "I told you so" look. Fortunately for me, they were able to work together and with all the other specialists to provide me with the care , I most desperately needed. Took some time, but I made a full physical recovery from all of that. Thankful and grateful to all that took care of me, at that time.
This is so classic of a cardiology move. As a vascular surgeon working closely with cardiologists and nefeologists, I have a couple of good stories too. Jokes aside, cardiologists rarely take into account the other organs or systems, other than the heart.

I found you because of your commencement address at Yale, and since then I think I've actually learned a bit about medicine by watching your videos and then researching so that I get the jokes I missed (though obviously a lot of it still goes over my head). I particularly like this video, though, since I was able to bring it up to my cardiologist and ask her what cardiology's beef is with nephrology. Almost instantaneously, we were talking more like people and less like clinician/patient. Just bringing your name up to my cardiologist and my GP seemed to give me some bona fides. Anyway, thank you for the videos. They've helped me laugh through quite a bit of stress, as well as learn more about the medical field and a system with which we all eventually deal. At least when I'm arguing with my insurance company, I can think of what Jimothy would think of the whole thing.
I care! My mom's new cardiologist just prescribed blood thinners and we didn't let her take them until nephrology approved, but then she told her to get consent from opthalmology, opthalmology from nutrition and nutrition from intern med who told her to ask cardiology again in three months 🙄
I can totally understand this, both from being a caregiver to someone on dialysis and has heart problems, but also my experience as a patient between the neurologist and the rheumatologist over which medication was damaging my liver.
@@PhoenixRoseYT not really. medicine evolved so much over the last decades that it's necessary for doctors to choose a speciality and normaly even specialise in an even smaller field within to be able to know everything about at least some illnesses. I am a med student and even in university we know that there's too much to learn.. so we focus on the things that we will need later on in our respective fields. For example I don't want to go into surgical fields, so I focus more on other stuff.
@@PhoenixRoseYT depends on complicacies of diseases imho, but I think an avatar like specialty called Family Medicine could handle all and avoid general medicine circles -just sadly they're poorly overworked and getting lack of respects
As both a therapist and a teacher (yes, two careers) this definitely has more of a "going to the principal's office" vibe than therapy, but it's still cute.
With _that_ behaviour (attitudes backed by _both_ disciplines in comments lol) the Principal's office is probably more appropriate! 😁 They both need detention, and maybe their parents called in LOL
@PumpkinPatch10 I understand that, and think his sketches are hilarious...I just hope that people don't think this is what therapy is and thus don't attend therapy. I appreciated his recent discussion on his podcast about the therapy sketches.
Cards fellow here. This video perfectly depicts the eternal struggle between nephrology and cardiology! Hilarious! I would like to say 2 things if I may: 1) can’t trust a nephrologist with an EKG, everyone would end up in the cath lab and 2) they can always go on dialysis, we need to decongest and decrease afterload.
Good on you for making me research the difference between osmolality and osmolarity. Now I just need to find out how relevant it is to my field of study, software engineering.
🤣🤣🤣 ( ... and me too lol re: googling it 😉 Actually, I imagine Google received a weird spike in 'osmolality vs osmolarity' searches around the time this one dropped - we have discovered the epicentre! 😂)
It's literally just concentration of a solution expressed as total number of solute particles expressed by liters (osmolarity) versus by kilograms (osmolality). But I honestly have no idea how this causes cardiologists and nephrologists to argue lol.
I had no idea this was a thing until my mum had a heart attack almost a year ago. She was in the hospital for 2 weeks, there was some sort of balancing act the team had to do between heart & kidneys. She was doing ok but then she died. It was during a lockdown & I didn’t get to be with her as I live in Australia, her in NZ. Your channel fascinates me. Thank you x
This is so late, but as an Aussie - with an understanding of the severity of the lockdowns both here and in NZ (I'm in Victoria) - I can't begin to express my condolences. Anyone needing hospital care, or trying to arrange proper care and stay updated 😔, and denied their families physical presence? ... the added trauma. 💔 I am so deeply sorry for your loss. 💜
This was as glorious as I knew it would be. That ending, though. Talk about wounding and pouring salt into Cardiology'a heart in one quick move. Ruthless fatality!!
Im a non med person although i understand the Jargon. (I worked in mental health for 29 yrs) Can someone basically overview the salt/nephrology correlation. Please. (Trying to learn here) Thank You🤍
As a new nurse, hearing "nobody cares about the difference between osmolarity and osmolality and nobody cares about heart sounds" made me feel a LOT better. It is still difficult for me to hear murmurs and stuff. If I take a radial pulse (ur wrist pulse) I can physically feel if a patient has afib because of that irregularity in rhythm but it's hard to pick up the extra heart sounds! I hope it's something you get with practice . Thanks Dr Glaucomflecken ❤️
@Tom Goretzka excuse Me no. I am a new grad but trust me when I say I studied my butt off and know what I need to know to take care of my patients. And I do good work. You aren't going to be able to learn and memorize everything in school, when you work in HEALTHCARE a lot of the learning and training is ON THE JOB. I'd love to see you try and be an aide or nurse or doctor!!! See how well you do!
@Tom Goretzka ok so what exactly did you mean then by "and that ladies and gentlemen is online nursing school graduates:"? Because it comes off as rude, like because we were forced to finish our degrees remotely learning somehow makes us less than.
Yes!! I want to see that! As well as Med-Surge nurse vs. ICU nurse! The ego's, the eye rolls, the condascending "did you even look at the patient's chart?"
Ahhhh as a nephrology fellow I love this ❤ the not drinking when you’re thirsty was such a perfect line, I tell *most* of patients this advice all the time.
Internal medicine with either orthro or neuro (or really anyone else that isn’t in the realm of primary care). Internal medicine kinda has a thing of “must rule out everything” and “my patient always”.
So help me, Nephrology, if you waste anymore of that tedious hypertonic saline solution, this pharmacy tech will find you and whip you with a fluid transfer set.
My X was a dialysis patient and also had a triple bypass and other heart surgeries. Can't tell you the amount of times in the hospital where these two specialties were at odds with each other. As his advocate - I had to be really on guard and ready to be confrontational everytime they wanted to load up his IV with fluids, order a heart healthy menu that was in conflict with a dialysis compatible menu. The fact he would be admitted as a cardiac patient, was totally lost on the hosp personnel - they didn't hardly evene read the chart enough to even realize his dialysis needs.
Would you mind explaining to me why the nephrologist is always carrying salt in these videos? This recurrent joke keeps going over my head and google has been no help lol i would think nephrology would hate salt? 🤔🤣
@@Sup-jz2ow because working kidneys should be able to flush out the excess salt no matter the quantity ingested, although it's widely accepted that a low sodium diet (specially in North America) helps to prevent or reduce the onset of Hypertension, so the kinda crazy nephrologist in Dr G's universe doesn't want salt to be demonized...
He wasted hypertonic saline?! Given that it was a liter and not 500mL it's a compounded hypertonic saline at that. Nephrology, do not request compounded products just to spill them! That takes time, effort, and resources that can go on back order at a moments notice! Can you tell what area of medical care I work in?
I know very little about the different specialties, but somehow every video is hilarious. And of course, I have learned a little from each one, which is pretty cool.
I was transferring from a general pediatrics house officer position (I’m a PA) where I rotated through all the services like the interns did so that the intern call schedule would be one night in four instead of one in three. I was transferring to the pediatric cardiac ICU. On my last day on call for Nephrology, the nephrologist called me aside and asked “Can you PLEASE get the cardiac surgeons to write for the Nephrology consult BEFORE they write the DNR order?” I tried… but I was not entirely successful! Edited for spelling and punctuation
God I wish I had this when during my prelim year. I would've showed this to my cardiologist and nephrology attending after getting pimped non stop about urine osmoles and where the lesion is in the heart based on the ekg 😂
Dear Dr. Glaucomfleckem. Might I say that your skits are not only more than brilliant. but also have the capability to bring a tear to a glass eye ...If I may say so. You’ve opened my eyes in a most tender and sweet way. (Insert ‘thumbs up’ emoji )
I died at the hospital quality improvement committee. Us (audiology) and ENT had to go there because we refused to play nice. We still maintain it was their fault...
This is almost completely what I have to referee is a hospitalist when I come on service and a partner of mine has consulted the entire specialty team for a complex patient. Diurese this might be the best line ever. Great work Dr.G.
HOW TALENTED are you!!! Keep up these Therapy skits. Would also like to see L&D, Charge Nurse, and Surgeon interactions!!Especially involving turnaround time and clean up!!
The QRS complex input is both genius and hilarious! I swear you have the most entertaining and original skits on TH-cam. I can always count on videos like this to have a good laugh 😂
Hah! Too funny. I'm glad that when I was in the hospital for 2 weeks in August of 2022 Nephrology and Cardiology got along. My heart was doing a congestive heart failure thing which caused my kidneys *and* liver to start shutting down. They both visited me often. Especially while I was in the ICU.
As a nurse my big problem with Cardiology is calling them to tell them their patient’s blood pressure or heart rate is falling to dangerous levels. They’re like ‘BP of 60/40? That’s good, heart’s not working too hard’ . I’m like ‘it’s just that there’s other organs that need perfusion’, lol. They really don’t care. They see everyone as just one giant heart and nothing else and there’s no such thing as a BP that’s too low.
May be in one of the therapies, the psychiatrist stops acting so sorted and we have a face off between neurology and psychiatry..a kind of turf war, with neurology, with its superiority complex retorting "The new england journal of who gives a shit"..It will be interesting to learn how psychiatry, with training in cbt, relaxation techniques(jpmr), Rogerian Empathy handles that.
So like if you look real close at the ECG cardio drew, you can see a drastically shortened QT time which might point towards a relatively shortened diastole indicating an elevated heart rate. I dunno but there might be way more than meets the eye going on between cardio and nephro underneath the surface if you catch my drift…
Omg I love this I'm a total medical dork and when someone asks a question and I start telling them why but in detail, they look at me like "wtf" cause nooooooboddy cares 🤣🤣
Gotta love “no need for surgery on that (intensely painful )pelvic girdle fracture in your patient (that’s going to stay in the hospital forever and be a difficult discharge and demand all kinds of narcotics). We will sign off and give you no further help! Thanks for this (not) interesting consult, good luck! Me, um thanks?
I wish my cardiologist and nephrologist would come together. They routinely contradict each other. At my last Nephrology appt my doctor literally said about a med I was prescribed "I will get with him about your history"

Almost instantaneously, we were talking more like people and less like clinician/patient. Just bringing your name up to my cardiologist and my GP seemed to give me some bona fides.
Anyway, thank you for the videos. They've helped me laugh through quite a bit of stress, as well as learn more about the medical field and a system with which we all eventually deal. At least when I'm arguing with my insurance company, I can think of what Jimothy would think of the whole thing.
I care! My mom's new cardiologist just prescribed blood thinners and we didn't let her take them until nephrology approved, but then she told her to get consent from opthalmology, opthalmology from nutrition and nutrition from intern med who told her to ask cardiology again in three months 🙄
I can totally understand this, both from being a caregiver to someone on dialysis and has heart problems, but also my experience as a patient between the neurologist and the rheumatologist over which medication was damaging my liver.
The medicine Circle.
Sheesh shouldn’t one doctor be able to take care of all that??
@@PhoenixRoseYT not really. medicine evolved so much over the last decades that it's necessary for doctors to choose a speciality and normaly even specialise in an even smaller field within to be able to know everything about at least some illnesses. I am a med student and even in university we know that there's too much to learn.. so we focus on the things that we will need later on in our respective fields. For example I don't want to go into surgical fields, so I focus more on other stuff.
@@PhoenixRoseYT depends on complicacies of diseases imho, but I think an avatar like specialty called Family Medicine could handle all and avoid general medicine circles -just sadly they're poorly overworked and getting lack of respects
As both a therapist and a teacher (yes, two careers) this definitely has more of a "going to the principal's office" vibe than therapy, but it's still cute.
With _that_ behaviour (attitudes backed by _both_ disciplines in comments lol) the Principal's office is probably more appropriate! 😁
They both need detention, and maybe their parents called in LOL
@PumpkinPatch10 I understand that, and think his sketches are hilarious...I just hope that people don't think this is what therapy is and thus don't attend therapy. I appreciated his recent discussion on his podcast about the therapy sketches.
Cards fellow here. This video perfectly depicts the eternal struggle between nephrology and cardiology! Hilarious! I would like to say 2 things if I may: 1) can’t trust a nephrologist with an EKG, everyone would end up in the cath lab and 2) they can always go on dialysis, we need to decongest and decrease afterload.
Preload
Laughed so hard! The salt on the EKG was perfection! You are a genius!
Good on you for making me research the difference between osmolality and osmolarity.
Now I just need to find out how relevant it is to my field of study, software engineering.
😂😂😂❤
🤣🤣🤣
🤣🤣🤣
( ... and me too lol re: googling it 😉
Actually, I imagine Google received a weird spike in 'osmolality vs osmolarity' searches around the time this one dropped - we have discovered the epicentre! 😂)
It's literally just concentration of a solution expressed as total number of solute particles expressed by liters (osmolarity) versus by kilograms (osmolality).
But I honestly have no idea how this causes cardiologists and nephrologists to argue lol.
"nobody cares" is music to every med students ears 😂😂 great work as always Dr G!
x2
I had no idea this was a thing until my mum had a heart attack almost a year ago. She was in the hospital for 2 weeks, there was some sort of balancing act the team had to do between heart & kidneys. She was doing ok but then she died. It was during a lockdown & I didn’t get to be with her as I live in Australia, her in NZ.
Your channel fascinates me. Thank you x
I am so so beyond sorry for your loss 💙
@@spiolet thank you 🙏
This is so late, but as an Aussie - with an understanding of the severity of the lockdowns both here and in NZ (I'm in Victoria) - I can't begin to express my condolences.
Anyone needing hospital care, or trying to arrange proper care and stay updated 😔, and denied their families physical presence?
... the added trauma. 💔
I am so deeply sorry for your loss. 💜
Heartbreaking....
This was as glorious as I knew it would be. That ending, though. Talk about wounding and pouring salt into Cardiology'a heart in one quick move. Ruthless fatality!!
Im a non med person although i understand the Jargon. (I worked in mental health for 29 yrs) Can someone basically overview the salt/nephrology correlation. Please. (Trying to learn here)
Thank You🤍
As a new nurse, hearing "nobody cares about the difference between osmolarity and osmolality and nobody cares about heart sounds" made me feel a LOT better. It is still difficult for me to hear murmurs and stuff. If I take a radial pulse (ur wrist pulse) I can physically feel if a patient has afib because of that irregularity in rhythm but it's hard to pick up the extra heart sounds! I hope it's something you get with practice . Thanks Dr Glaucomflecken ❤️
@Tom Goretzka excuse Me no. I am a new grad but trust me when I say I studied my butt off and know what I need to know to take care of my patients. And I do good work. You aren't going to be able to learn and memorize everything in school, when you work in HEALTHCARE a lot of the learning and training is ON THE JOB. I'd love to see you try and be an aide or nurse or doctor!!! See how well you do!
@Tom Goretzka then why were you so rude, if you understand then?
@Tom Goretzka also I was only remotely learning my senior year but I still had clinicals so....
@Tom Goretzka ok so what exactly did you mean then by "and that ladies and gentlemen is online nursing school graduates:"? Because it comes off as rude, like because we were forced to finish our degrees remotely learning somehow makes us less than.
@Tom Goretzka my perception towards my education is I'm very grateful for the opportunities I received by working my ass off.
The QRS complex on nephrology forehead had me dying! it looks like harry with a QRS scar
"I made it low amplitude" OMG.
I need a nursing spin off just for ED Nurse and Floor Nurse couples counselling
there is a YT nurse that does these aleady :D
As an ICU nurse I want ED and ICU!
Yes!! I want to see that! As well as Med-Surge nurse vs. ICU nurse! The ego's, the eye rolls, the condascending "did you even look at the patient's chart?"
ED and ICU. We hated eachother
@@HisameArtworkwho is the nurse? What's the channel's name?
Hypertonic saline?! That’s brutal “assalt!”
Next time we need to see them restrained…with tele wires and catheter tubing 😆😂
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
Granted that would be easy to break free from, but the visual would be hilarious!
Ahhhh as a nephrology fellow I love this ❤ the not drinking when you’re thirsty was such a perfect line, I tell *most* of patients this advice all the time.
The danger squiggles on Nephrology's forehead looked great haha 👌
Internal medicine with either orthro or neuro (or really anyone else that isn’t in the realm of primary care). Internal medicine kinda has a thing of “must rule out everything” and “my patient always”.
I think Infectious Disease would be a good match for that
@@dr.floridamanphd They can fight over who takes the better notes and takes longer to rule out everything.
As an EE/BME person, I LOLed at “I made it low amplitude!” 🤣 Great job, doc! 👏🏻
Me too!
The more you think about it, radiology and path can practically solve all disputes between any specialities!!
“Darwin was a nephrologist and you know it!” - quote of the episode
Also mark this as the first time cardiology ever smiled. Therapy is paying off!
And let this be our battle cry... DIURESE THIS!
So help me, Nephrology, if you waste anymore of that tedious hypertonic saline solution, this pharmacy tech will find you and whip you with a fluid transfer set.
Quite unjustified, really, regular old normal saline would have served just as well as a cardiologist soak.
i have a feeling that nephrology is MUCH saltier than cardiology...
Well… I mean… he is Salt Bro.
This is one of the best ones ever. Hoooooly shit. Amazing. I’m dying.
The “no one cares” rings especially true as I study for boards 😭
Have never clicked on a notification so quickly
My X was a dialysis patient and also had a triple bypass and other heart surgeries. Can't tell you the amount of times in the hospital where these two specialties were at odds with each other. As his advocate - I had to be really on guard and ready to be confrontational everytime they wanted to load up his IV with fluids, order a heart healthy menu that was in conflict with a dialysis compatible menu. The fact he would be admitted as a cardiac patient, was totally lost on the hosp personnel - they didn't hardly evene read the chart enough to even realize his dialysis needs.
As a nephrologist, I can say this is really accurate! Thanks Dr. G!
Would you mind explaining to me why the nephrologist is always carrying salt in these videos? This recurrent joke keeps going over my head and google has been no help lol i would think nephrology would hate salt? 🤔🤣
@@Sup-jz2ow because working kidneys should be able to flush out the excess salt no matter the quantity ingested, although it's widely accepted that a low sodium diet (specially in North America) helps to prevent or reduce the onset of Hypertension, so the kinda crazy nephrologist in Dr G's universe doesn't want salt to be demonized...
@@beckahalvarez702 thanks! I wish you luck in the cardiology vs nephrology war
He wasted hypertonic saline?! Given that it was a liter and not 500mL it's a compounded hypertonic saline at that. Nephrology, do not request compounded products just to spill them! That takes time, effort, and resources that can go on back order at a moments notice!
Can you tell what area of medical care I work in?
Hi pharmacy! Yes, I can't find the pills. Can you just top up now?
Yes, and we appreciate your help! Love my pharmacists at the hospital! Im sorry for ordering crazy doses!
"is that why you need a second one, 'cuse the first one's so good?" ha, freakin gold
I know very little about the different specialties, but somehow every video is hilarious. And of course, I have learned a little from each one, which is pretty cool.
I can't with Nephrology! That ending was so petty 🤣
I was transferring from a general pediatrics house officer position (I’m a PA) where I rotated through all the services like the interns did so that the intern call schedule would be one night in four instead of one in three. I was transferring to the pediatric cardiac ICU. On my last day on call for Nephrology, the nephrologist called me aside and asked “Can you PLEASE get the cardiac surgeons to write for the Nephrology consult BEFORE they write the DNR order?”
I tried… but I was not entirely successful!
Edited for spelling and punctuation
Haha the cardiologist was so happy to hear an EKG being read😅
God I wish I had this when during my prelim year. I would've showed this to my cardiologist and nephrology attending after getting pimped non stop about urine osmoles and where the lesion is in the heart based on the ekg 😂
😂 wow, that’s sounds like cruel and unusual punishment
Emergency & everyone else GROUP THERAPY!! please I need that
Dear Dr. Glaucomfleckem. Might I say that your skits are not only more than brilliant. but also have the capability to bring a tear to a glass eye ...If I may say so. You’ve opened my eyes in a most tender and sweet way. (Insert ‘thumbs up’ emoji )
I died at the hospital quality improvement committee. Us (audiology) and ENT had to go there because we refused to play nice. We still maintain it was their fault...
Hahaha. From one who has both of these specialties on my care team, this is hilariously accurate.
I was so scared they'll beat up the therapist when he said "nobody cares" 😂
This is almost completely what I have to referee is a hospitalist when I come on service and a partner of mine has consulted the entire specialty team for a complex patient. Diurese this might be the best line ever. Great work Dr.G.
HOW TALENTED are you!!! Keep up these Therapy skits.
Would also like to see L&D, Charge Nurse, and Surgeon interactions!!Especially involving turnaround time and clean up!!
The QRS complex input is both genius and hilarious! I swear you have the most entertaining and original skits on TH-cam. I can always count on videos like this to have a good laugh 😂
"Diurese this!" That one actually got me..
This is the session we have been waiting for. THANK YOU for delivering!!!
Much awaited couple therapy!!
In rituals, you put salt on something to purify or to keep away the negative energy. No doubt nephrology, put salt on EKG
Love this. Since I am Nephrology nurse
Hah! Too funny. I'm glad that when I was in the hospital for 2 weeks in August of 2022 Nephrology and Cardiology got along. My heart was doing a congestive heart failure thing which caused my kidneys *and* liver to start shutting down. They both visited me often. Especially while I was in the ICU.
As a nurse my big problem with Cardiology is calling them to tell them their patient’s blood pressure or heart rate is falling to dangerous levels. They’re like ‘BP of 60/40? That’s good, heart’s not working too hard’ . I’m like ‘it’s just that there’s other organs that need perfusion’, lol. They really don’t care. They see everyone as just one giant heart and nothing else and there’s no such thing as a BP that’s too low.
Yes Dr. The heart isn’t working too hard. The heart is very sleepy and is about to take the big nap.
It's true. I don't care about any heart sound, whatsoever. I love the psychologist sooo much!
Your videos make me laugh out loud every time! I’m not in the medical community, I just love your videos.
M a huge fan of yours... The content you create it's just superb... So accurate and too funny... You're lit man 🔥🔥🔥
"nobody cares about heart sounds" - truer words have never been spoken. I just look at the ECHO and can tell what, where and if a murmur is present
“Darwin was a nephrologist and you know it!” Oh I died at that!
May be in one of the therapies, the psychiatrist stops acting so sorted and we have a face off between neurology and psychiatry..a kind of turf war, with neurology, with its superiority complex retorting "The new england journal of who gives a shit"..It will be interesting to learn how psychiatry, with training in cbt, relaxation techniques(jpmr), Rogerian Empathy handles that.
This is what I needed on my night shift
Hilarious !! 🤣🤣🤣
Ps: Dr Glauc is becoming more & more handsome in each vid 😍👀
"I'm gonna say something very important. I want you to pay attention: NOBODY CARES." Me to my students whenever I hear "but he took my pencil!!!"
I know, right?! Or “he called me a poo poo head!”
Great messaging there yall
Nephrology's facial expression at the beginning cracks me up each time I see this video.
FINALLY, liked immediately even still waiting for ads rollin. Hope this could make my day 🤗
This. Is. What. I'm. HERE. FOR!
So like if you look real close at the ECG cardio drew, you can see a drastically shortened QT time which might point towards a relatively shortened diastole indicating an elevated heart rate. I dunno but there might be way more than meets the eye going on between cardio and nephro underneath the surface if you catch my drift…
Love it!
Instant click!!! So excited
Omg I love this I'm a total medical dork and when someone asks a question and I start telling them why but in detail, they look at me like "wtf" cause nooooooboddy cares 🤣🤣
I’m so glad I found this one made my weekend so much better with this video 🧂🔛🆘♥️therapy
"This is a pattern of immature behavior between the two of you."
Funny, I thought it was a pattern of cardiac electrical activity.
Love this series!!!
Oh my goodness! THANK YOU so much! I've been waiting for this one! I knew it would be epic!
oh shoot!!! i have been waiting for these two. Classic cardio vs nephro
Ortho and internal medicine , thats gonna be hilarious 😂
Gotta love “no need for surgery on that (intensely painful )pelvic girdle fracture in your patient (that’s going to stay in the hospital forever and be a difficult discharge and demand all kinds of narcotics). We will sign off and give you no further help! Thanks for this (not) interesting consult, good luck!
Me, um thanks?
im guessing anesthesia snitched on them during his break
I wish my cardiologist and nephrologist would come together. They routinely contradict each other. At my last Nephrology appt my doctor literally said about a med I was prescribed "I will get with him about your history"
These are fantastic!
Another good couple’s therapy: General surgery and Pathology arguing about specimen orientation and frozen sections
general surgery has too many enemies lmao, alrdy have couple therapy w Anesthesia
Pathology doesn't argue with anyone
