So in conclusion the surgery resident is not a bad guy after all, he's just an overworked, sleep deprived, busy fella who needs a break I feel him because I am one
This was a lot more wholesome than I was expecting for the gen surgery residents. Guess it's important to remember they are people too. Everyone needs a cake pop sometimes.
When i was a med student rotating on gen surg, I gave my fellow a granola bar because she told me she had not eaten all day and she was so touched she let me be her first assist. Tiny human gestures hit hardest when you feel like a forgotten cog in the medicine machine.
Just got off four weeks of gen surg and those residents are EXHAUSTED. I thought everyone hated me until I walked past two of them the week after and they stopped to say hi to me. Turns out they just needed a weekend of sleep :,)
Damn that hit me a little in the feels. Shittiest thing is surgery residents get paid like shit for someone that gives up their life to open up and fix people.
I am another a general surgery resident who teared up watching this and I think this is actually the first video of yours I ever saw back when it was first posted. Thank you for seeing us
How come you have time for these videos? Not like these videos aren't epic, just wanna know how you med students get time to do anything except study, eat, sleep and shit
"Caffeine habit", It doesn't have bad or unhealthy just try to fit in some 2-caffeine-detox-weeks every one in a while, drink de-caf and tell your self it's just normal black coffee (Trust me it does work) Take care
I've never been to med school, but I do have a couple stories about surgeons from when I worked at a hospital, and I want to help improve engagement statistics or whatever by leaving a comment: There was one surgeon who was always whistling Christmas carols, regardless of the season. It was easy to tell when he was coming down the halls. Now that I think about it, the only time I saw him *not* whistling a Christmas carol was in December. There was a large middle eastern population in our area. I remember one time when I was bringing a stretcher back to PACU, I saw two middle eastern surgeons walking in opposite directions. As they passed, one turned around and said "Hey! What do you call an Iranian from the UK? A Ukrainian!". The other one didn't laugh. I only spoke to a surgeon directly on two occasions (people with degrees more advanced than nursing generally didn't acknowledge Transport, and most of the communication on my end involved trying to get the attention of hospitalists who were standing in the middle of the hall in the ED). In both cases, it was to transport a patient from MRI to PACU. I'm not sure exactly what procedure was being done -- I only saw it twice in nine months -- but it was the same surgeon both times, and he was clearly out of his element: didn't know where to put away the box of supplies, &c. He told me we had to stop at the pharmacy on the way to PACU, and it wasn't until we made a few turns that I realized he meant the *inpatient* pharmacy. I brought patients to the family pharmacy all the time, but had never been to the inpatient pharmacy and had no idea where it was. It worked out, though, because the surgeon knew the way. He had no idea how to get to PACU afterwards, but that was where I came in; I made a joke to the effect that, between the two of us, we formed a complete person who knew where they were going. He didn't laugh.
Consider doing a data download from TikTok so there isn’t a TT logo watermark on your videos. Other platforms won’t give reach to videos with other platform logo watermarks. You are making 🔥🔥🔥 content tho! 👍
Why do we make this so hard? Is it historical? Is it because it was hard for the surgical attendings and program directors? Is there no better way to learn? Is there no better way to run a hospital? Cheap labor? Seriously, is there a better way to get from student to fellowship or gen surg attending?
As a third year medical student on my general surgery rotation, I once followed the surgery chief resident around all day because he left his phone at home, so I was fielding all the texts from his wife who was sitting at home monitoring his phone so he wouldn’t miss anything important. That man took me the long way around when we were walking back from the outpatient surgery center to the main hospital just so we could specifically swing by a wall made up of clear windows with a view of the garden outside because “this is the only time I get to see the sun.” Not even to actually go outside, just so we could look out the window at some sunlight and greenery for a few seconds as we walked past it. That was the exact moment I decided I was absolutely definitely NOT going into surgery 🥲
I’m a surgical PA who did a residency program and sadly we all did this whenever possible. The ICU had the best view of the Long Island sound, and the ends of the surgery floor hallways had windows and we would stop, look out, and then keep moving. Got dark at 4 PM in the winter. Ugh those were the days 😂😂
Lol I am a gen surg resident and I do these exact things; take the long way because there’s a window with some sunlight , when I was on consult nights I would take a particular route back from the ED just to see the sky, and recently I bought a wall sticker of a picture of an open window for our resident lounge/workroom which has no real windows at all
If Glaucomflecken is medical humour for non-medical people, then you are humour for medical people by medical people.
Fr it's so specific
THIS.
Agreed.
Yes I love it
As an assistant in colorectal that perianal cheek touch my cheek thing hit too hard... idk if im inspired to go further or to quit quicker...
So in conclusion the surgery resident is not a bad guy after all, he's just an overworked, sleep deprived, busy fella who needs a break
I feel him because I am one
Wildly accurate
I feel for my surgical colleagues. Blessings 🙏🏽
Dude I sympathize for you but it cracks me up that your username is "Misanthrope" lol
And he just needs to be given a snack🥺
My dude...here's a virtual hug.

When he gave the gen surgeon a cake pop, I legit started tearing up. This is art

The change in how you get treated when they suddenly see you as a human being
How do I get them to see them as a human being?
I love how this dude was so happy as soon as he got some choclate in his system.
Damn that hit me a little in the feels. Shittiest thing is surgery residents get paid like shit for someone that gives up their life to open up and fix people.
Pure gold at 1:50-1:54. The look over the shoulder nailed the disillusionment every resident feels at some point in their training

That was super accurate 😂
As a USMLE student who has no other life but studying…I live for these videos and wait every day for them to come.

You mean medstudent?
@@georgemartyn5268 Time management

@@georgemartyn5268 That my friend is a good question, that is still yet to be answered… more on that to follow.
Aw when he smiles from the cake pop 💔
Gosh the end 😢 gen surg residents were some of the coolest people once they opened up a bit
As a Gen surgical registrar with a caffeine habit, I can confirm this is hilariously / depressingly accurate content! Love these POV vids 👍😂
"Caffeine habit", It doesn't have bad or unhealthy just try to fit in some 2-caffeine-detox-weeks every one in a while, drink de-caf and tell your self it's just normal black coffee
(Trust me it does work)
Take care
Dude your videos are so on point 😂 I get a delightful combo of amusement and PTSD
Gen surgery residents need the cake pop more than literally anyone else in the medical field. 😢
The accuracy of this shit is fuckin crazy lol. Brings me back to clerkship with the stressed as fuck but good hearted gen surg residents.

The last sentence of this 😂😂😂I LOVE YOU SAID THAT TO A DR.
Also, I agree. People below RN level are not acknowledged. I was there.
Competitive and caffeine addiction this is too real
All your job is to make sure his cheeks, don't touch my cheeks 😂😂😂😂
This piece of art made me feel a lot, thank you
Im a general surgery resident and I felt this video in my heart like you cant imagine
You gotta do one for us former scribes who were assigned to the ER docs lol. “You can go get us coffee if you want” *deletes my entire note*
Good LORD these skits are incredible.
Came here to laugh at my plight so why am I tearing up at the cake pop scene?
Yes. And yes. Especially when they speak to you with the exhausted tone lol
Nice. Always makes my day when you post these.
This is again, quality content. Don't stop!
These videos are excellentttt
The acting is so good
"yeah you paged us" is spot on
The cake pop made me tear up.
the birthday card is such a good detail
THis is absolute gold.
Everyone on my surgery rotation is just weird enough to pick up on it Lol
I sound dead on the phone when I call back your consult but it's not you, it's the sleep deprivation lol
Just went on my first general surgery rotation and my registrar told me exactly that "only do surgery if you don't like anything else"
I love your videos !! You have to do neurology soon!!
The tumbler 🤣🤫
so after having watched all your other PoV medical content, i think we finally figured out you’re a gen surge resident.
He matched psychiatry actually, but it seems he was at one point interested in surgery!
I was very close to doing surgery
@@itspresro I would've sworn you were ortho
@@itspresroah no wonder this pov has such a different vibe than the others
This is so true about surgical residents 🤣🤣🤣🤣
I love the perianal abscess part---make sure his cheeks don't touch my cheeks---brilliant!
Missed Gen Surg mumbling into a phone.
My god this is incredible 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
"POV youre on call with the cardiology fellow" next? 👌

Thanks for the tip!
"Just say necrotic" great foreshadowing
Which residency program are you actually undertaking?
i don’t get the tumbler bit at the end
I don’t get it either
he told him to buy whatever he wanted using the resident's money, so he bought drinks and cake pops - but looks like he also got himself a new tumbler
@@alexbarnett3324 oh thank you. I was confused but the cake pop makes sense now.
LMAO the caffeine pills
Ok but what was in the tumbler/where did the tumbler come from??? I need to know!!
Do cardiology next! 😂
can someone please explain the tumbler joke at the end, I don't get it :')
😍preston is cute
Please do family medicine!
@itspresro What is your actual specialty?
From a comment on another video: fourth-year med student going into psychiatry.
Accurate
is that true? is EVERYTHING competitive?
This character is substituting “everything” for “everything I WANT to do” so from his perspective yes absolutely
what's the joke about the tumbler?
As a medical assistant working into surgical nursing... Idk if im inspired to go harder or to quit quicker... legit don't know.
I could barely hear anything he was saying
