My degree is in Psychology (I graduated almost a decade ago now) and we learned something very interesting. Apparently, Surgeons have an abnormally high rate of sociopathic personalities within the field (like 75% of them have sociopathic traits that are significant enough to be judged as having a sociopathic personality). Considering how many Surgeons I have worked with or had as patients, I consider that statistic pretty accurate.
One of my anatomy and physiology teachers in college was a surgeon when he lived in another country. He said he liked surgery because he didn’t have to talk to people, like most other doctors have to do.
Working in neurotrauma for almost ten years, I can honest to God say this is not satire. I once watched an attending make a resident cry because he suggested hospice to a family. Of course it was over the phone because you cannot get an attending to appear on the floor unless you say their name three times into a mirror.
No money in getting carted off to hospice. Make sure your family stands up to surgeries if you are old. Things only get worse from there. Also, my daughter works in a trauma recovery hospital- make sure you have a DNR because you don’t want to live in a hospital bed as a vegetable. Trust me

Have worked w neurosurgeons for 25 years. They deal w crazy stess and have alwaybeen there for patients during all types of tough cases. Thank God someone wants to do that job
Yeah. Also, I get the joke, especially from Doc DGlaucomflecken, but as a neurosurgical nurse - at this point I simply am annoyed to call my medical practitioners socio-/psychopaths due to them being snappy and annoyed at stupid things (one of them freshly starting 1st year Doc's).
When my neurosurgeon said my emergency fusion was completely healed and I asked why I still hurt, well I've never seen a doc leave a room so fast and pass me off to an anesthesiologist for pain management 🤣
Mine told me, that post a microdiscectomy, I'd be up on my feet within 24 hours and playing Tennis within 6 weeks. Firstly, I'd been bedridden for almost 3 months prior to surgery and so needed lots of rehab. to learn to walk again. And. for some strange reason he didn't appreciate the humor when I asked whether he "planned to download a special app. while I was under anaesthetic? As I'd never played Tennis in my life!" It gets worse; he didn't 'write me up' [authorise ] more than 12 hours pain cover post surgery and I had to ask for it - repeatedly. The nurses said; " Oh! That's funny! Most patients post this surgery have 3 days ICU Pain cover!" But then they couldn't get hold of the one overnight Registrar to authorise more for a further 10 hours... Then post discharge he neglected to refer me to rehab, and I was at home for 6 weeks teaching myself to walk again, when I learned of a rehab centre nearby. When I contacted rhem to ask how to be referred, they asked who my neurosurgeon was and I told them, their reply was;"Oh yes! We have lots of his patients here." I was Furious. At 6 months review when I still had pain, he said; Oh well some people take up to 12 months to recover. And at 12 months he said; Oh well, some people develop more internal post surgical scarring than others, you must be one of those. {Ie it was MY fault!} I believed him. God knows why! It was YEARS later that I read an article that explained this was an Excuse surgeons used to either cover up shonky work, or they simply had no clue why the pain continued and assumed it was all psychological...
I’m am forever grateful that the neurosurgeons I work with are all pretty friendly and some of them even answer my questions without being visibly annoyed 🙌
This is so accurate. I was a paramedic and I had a patient with vertical nystagmus, amongst other issues, he wasn’t doing well. Numerous seizures. So went to the Level 1 TC and neuro met me in the bay. Never a good sign. The neuro docklings accompanied us to CT where the Head of Neurology legitimately refused to speak to me. He told one of his residents “tell the paramedic she needs to have her meds ready to treat for a seizure dose is XYZ. She can wait in the hall”. Beyond annoyed I asked the physician a question, I mean seems reasonable to speak with someone giving me very unusual verbal orders. Nope. Told the resident to tell the paramedic he’s confident I’ll do well and sent me to the hall. I can’t even say I was upset, more bewildered. Apparently he didn’t speak to very many people. Really odd
I work in sterile processing and the only doctors that are super, and I mean SUPER picky about their instrument sets are neuro. The stereotype is completely accurate. 😂
I would be too if I was working with a whole lobe exposed to the elements. Sanitary practice is a whole rabbit hole on its own. I've worked with operations that require sterility and learning how pathogens spread and behave has completely changed the way I view sanitary processes. Real OCD stuff lol. From the process of autoclaving to the texture of the material wrapping. Everything matters.
As someone who has had a craniotomy to remove a tumor adhered to my hypothalamus in the absolute dead center of my skull, I am very VERY glad to hear that neurosurgeons are “picky.” Their fastidiousness may annoy you, but it saves lives. I’d have hated to undergo a week of pre-op hospitalization to get my cranial inflammation under control enough for surgery, then endure a highly invasive 8 hour operation, only to die of meningitis because someone in your position hadn’t properly sterilized instruments and the surgeons were more worried about being perceived as picky hardasses than protecting their patients.
I am in the mad dash to finish my PhD thesis, and this made me quite literally laugh out loud. Thank you for that moment of sunshine (...unlike the neurosurgery basement)
Just saw a documentary about a neurosurgeon in New York… and how little time he gets to see his family. He missed almost every event at his kids school, worked upwards of 15 hours a day sometimes!
This (though I work in Europe as a nurse in that particular field) - our neurosurgeons are overworked, chronically at the hospital. It would make anyone quite cranky and give you a "null time for bullshit" attitude - and yet the overwhelming majority of them are kind and caring people.
I would love to see a video on different Jonathans for each department. That would be super cool! Also, great video doc. The "why?" is sending me back to my internee days. Chills
His videos are so accurate it’s scary. My first day in burn ICU the charge nurse wouldn’t speak to us and when we introduced ourselves as students there for clinical she went “No.” I was so shocked
Well. You just tripled her work by being there, imagine she had to teach you while someone coded. It's sadly understandable why (not that this behaviour is any good tbh).
My dad was neurosurgeon (a well known and respected one across the world tbh). And there was a joke about neurosurgeon we used to say. "What is the diffrence between a neurosurgeon and god? God doesn't pretend to be a neurosurgeon" (hope I translated it right, not english native speaker)
This cracks me up. My neurosurgeon is one of the sweetest, gentlest women I've ever met. Before my surgery to relieve hydrocephalus she spoke with me personally and made me feel so calm. I can't imagine her being in a team of people like this.
Must be in a parallel universe thing, or something specifically in the english speaking countries. Our leading Neurosurgeon is an (aging) Coryphaeus in his field of malignant tumor-treatment and -excisions in Europe, and I've yet to meet all the Gregory House MD sociopathic behaviour in over 20 years in the field.
My husband has had 3 brain surgeries and his neurosurgeon is one of my favorite people of all time. A genuinely wonderful person and a brilliant doctor.
I did a shift in a neurology outpatient clinic at St George’s Hospital as a HCA, I made a very small, minor mistake as I was new, the Neurologist came out screaming, cursing, shouting like a maniac. He was very intimidating and apparently that’s how he regularly behaves. I’m scarred for life after that experience. This was in London, U.K. The senior male gynaecologist used to behave the same way. He even complained if women weren’t shaved down there and one day he had an outburst in the clinic and also started shouting and being aggressive. Similar behaviour from the Oncologists as well, I had a lady doctor (if you can call her that, 🙄) who used to run the oncology clinic, shout and scream at me infront of patients for things that were not my responsibility. She used to upset everyone and seemed to enjoy making people cry. Completely unhinged woman. Everyone was so happy when she left. The orthopaedic surgeons on the other hand were very chill. I have a lot of anxiety about going to med school because of people like them.
Woow the hospitals in the UK seems to be crazyyy. I never met a doctor and nurses who yelled (esp, in front of patients) in my life.😳 Am sorry you had to go through this. They need to focus more on saving lives instead of giving people anxiety smh
Agreed. I did two years of research in neurosurgery. I described them to my friends as the stuttering Thoms. Really smart guys, all with Aspbergers. Then I switched to radiology.
@I am grateful Neurosurgeons have a high divorce rate. One at my hospital was on wife #4. I was there for 15 years. I felt like yelling, "You don't gotta marry them to have sex with them." Anyway, their divorce attorneys were extremely happy $$$$$$$.
The neurosurgeon that operated on me was amazing. He was very compassionate and was also well liked by the nurses, and they all spoke highly of him and gave a funny nickname. He even had a sense of humour. I must've had one of the few that dont seem intimidating 😂 Edit: he was a tall slim guy with logish hair. They called him Michael Jackson 😆

The way this makes me sad...there's so much bullying in medicine course, in my country a teacher was threatened with a gun ...that's how bad the person snapped
Okay, one of my cousin from my father's side is a neurosurgeon. She's the best young neurosurgeon in our country's national universities neurosurgery competition. And she talks like this. Like, even when in normal occurrence. Idk how she always talks in passive-aggressive tone.
Lol the joke about the wife really got me when I was leaving my 12 week post opt my surgeon kept saying he never wanted to see me again, only his wife wants my money😂😂😂
Seeing the video again after 10 months into neurosurgery residency it hits different lol Funny fact I am currently during general surgery(it was delayed for few reasons) but few months of neurosurgery prior to it were enough to see general surgery residency as a walk in the park. As you can see I can watch youtube again for few months😂
They do be like that though, my love for neuro-endocrinology was far overshadowed by the agony my professor told me I'd be getting if I chose that stream, I am happily in neuroendocrinology now.
Well, i had a consultant at the ICU who, admittedly, knows what he's doing in terms of knowledge and experience but in terms of treating you, he'll treat you like a dog. 6 months of agony and I am finally free of that hell of a department.
Hi doctor!!! I don’t understand more than half the references or what they mean as a meager peasant who only knows how to prescribe aspirin and apply hydrogen peroxide and bandaids, but I always find you so funny and really like your videos. I do always hope someone in the comments breaks it down for me though lol.
My dad quit neurosurgery because he said he never saw me awake for the first year of my life. He got that ego, divorce, and attitude deal though. That living in the basement thing felt right.
This is HILARIOUS. I will say I know of two nice neurosurgeons-one is a Christian and used to come to retreats with students and interact with us. He would raise his hands in worship and do mission work and it really made an impression on me. He was not ashamed of the Gospel for it is the power of God unto salvation for everyone who believes (Romans 1:16). The other is a family friend. Nice neurosurgeons do exist. But this is hilarious nonetheless. Update: I remember his name now. Dr. Mike Haglund. With Christ, nothing is impossible-even being a kind neurosurgeon is possible! it is incredible how much of an impact one can make just by being kind (esp as an attending). May the good Lord help us to be kind to these frightened students 🙂. They are going through a lot. It is amazing to look back on med school and residency and think about how one made it through.
Funny thing is he’s not really kidding about the compound they’re like military cots. And you do live down there, and your given scrubs from a scrub machine so you’re given clothes. He’s not far off lol
No no...there can ONLY be ONE!! Also, I'd imagine to be a surgeon you'd have to have some sort of disconnect/sociopathic tendency to be successful...I mean, you have to voluntarily slice into another human being and not flinch...soooo, I'm glad they have that ability, but also the humanity to know it's to save someone's life. Perfect combination.
I wish i had a compound in the basement to live during my residency because its much better than to waste half of your off time commuting to and from the hospital.
I disagree with you 100%. Must be an "other country, other quirks" thing. In 20+ years I've had 2 out of 70+ Neurosurgeons who were unpleasant egomaniacal buffoons. But of my 4 persoonal GP's in those 20 years, I've only met one truly decent one - but I won't claim that most of our countries GP's are bungholes.
This is a different Jonathan. A far more inferior Jonathan.

@@DGlaucomflecken I want to think that maybe the Jonathan mentioned in this sketch "escaped" to ophthalmology - but I suspect that's not what happened. (RIP Original Jonathan)

Also, apologies if I sounded mean in the original comment
Your videos never fail to cheer me up, thanks!
every neurosurgeon I have know has been absolutely delightful.
This is true talent, I'm not a medical student but I feel like completely understand everything that's happening and why. Iconic, this is true talent.
I wonder why I hated being around the neuro majors in college (I was psych) and these remind me why. Also trying to logic EVERYTHING.
The way this makes me sad...there's so much bullying in medicine course, in my country a teacher was threatened with a gun ...that's how bad the person snapped
Okay, one of my cousin from my father's side is a neurosurgeon. She's the best young neurosurgeon in our country's national universities neurosurgery competition. And she talks like this. Like, even when in normal occurrence. Idk how she always talks in passive-aggressive tone.
Lol the joke about the wife really got me when I was leaving my 12 week post opt my surgeon kept saying he never wanted to see me again, only his wife wants my money😂😂😂
Neurologist and neurosurgeon have the same coif! Our students still have a way to go! Hahah I love these characters
When he asked 'why?' I almost answered. Im not in the medical field. Well done!
Ok, THAT one was GREAT! You're really starting to come out of your shell and more relaxed, editing is getting much better. Keep it up!
This is very funny. Belly laughs every time I watch it again.🤣 Thank you.
This really brings me back to why I quit nursing. Too many doctors need a punch in the face to bring them back to reality.
Anybody that does brain surgery is a miracle worker ❤
When he said, "General Surgery," I could only picture him as the meme where General Grievous says, "General Kenobi," and it kind of fits 😆
"and I love it!" lol
Seeing the video again after 10 months into neurosurgery residency it hits different lol
Funny fact I am currently during general surgery(it was delayed for few reasons) but few months of neurosurgery prior to it were enough to see general surgery residency as a walk in the park.
As you can see I can watch youtube again for few months😂
Im going into neurosurgery, any advice? What can I do to prepare?
You are so good at this comedic spin!
They do be like that though, my love for neuro-endocrinology was far overshadowed by the agony my professor told me I'd be getting if I chose that stream,
I am happily in neuroendocrinology now.
Well, i had a consultant at the ICU who, admittedly, knows what he's doing in terms of knowledge and experience but in terms of treating you, he'll treat you like a dog. 6 months of agony and I am finally free of that hell of a department.
Hi doctor!!! I don’t understand more than half the references or what they mean as a meager peasant who only knows how to prescribe aspirin and apply hydrogen peroxide and bandaids, but I always find you so funny and really like your videos.
I do always hope someone in the comments breaks it down for me though lol.
Joey is my life now. I like not going outside anymore. I’ve earned it.
The delivery on
“And I love it”
is comedic perfection 😂👌
🤣🤣🤣🤣 Im not even a doctor but this is funny. I saw Dr Martin Rutkowski a neurosurgeon react to this also funny on another level.
Neurosurgeons are the meanest. Especially in the operating room.
My dad quit neurosurgery because he said he never saw me awake for the first year of my life.
He got that ego, divorce, and attitude deal though.
That living in the basement thing felt right.
the last comment "AND I LOVE IT!" got me lol. love your skits
- "Hello there"
-"General Surgery, you are a bold one"
" Hasnt earned the privilege yet " 😂😂
That nervous, dry mouth swallow just adds that special touch of authenticity
This is HILARIOUS. I will say I know of two nice neurosurgeons-one is a Christian and used to come to retreats with students and interact with us. He would raise his hands in worship and do mission work and it really made an impression on me. He was not ashamed of the Gospel for it is the power of God unto salvation for everyone who believes (Romans 1:16).
The other is a family friend. Nice neurosurgeons do exist. But this is hilarious nonetheless.
Update: I remember his name now. Dr. Mike Haglund. With Christ, nothing is impossible-even being a kind neurosurgeon is possible! it is incredible how much of an impact one can make just by being kind (esp as an attending). May the good Lord help us to be kind to these frightened students 🙂. They are going through a lot. It is amazing to look back on med school and residency and think about how one made it through.
So he got devorced. At least the inutation. "Boss."
"Again?"
*?!?!?!?!?*
i'm a Japanese neurosurgeon.
it's just the REAL CASE XD
アメリカ人の脳外科です。もし良ければ、会話してもいいですか？脳外科と医学の単語の勉強は足りないのです。
This guy really needs to do a short movie 🎬 on TH-cam funny as hell thank you 👍
Super glad there are people like you, because I could never do that. The work is hard enough, but the politics.
a lot of the nurses i work with in the OR always say the vibes are “off” with neuro lolololol
Funny thing is he’s not really kidding about the compound they’re like military cots. And you do live down there, and your given scrubs from a scrub machine so you’re given clothes. He’s not far off lol
The condescending attitude is spot on
No no...there can ONLY be ONE!!
Also, I'd imagine to be a surgeon you'd have to have some sort of disconnect/sociopathic tendency to be successful...I mean, you have to voluntarily slice into another human being and not flinch...soooo, I'm glad they have that ability, but also the humanity to know it's to save someone's life. Perfect combination.
I have to say, i hate that most doctors have an insane amount of ego. It really eliminates the meaning of being a doctor.
And it makes them bad doctors. Patients health doesnt go up if the doctor they are trying to work with is just an ass
??? What are you talking about? This sounds at best like bad personal experiences and at worst TV-induced bias.
I wish i had a compound in the basement to live during my residency because its much better than to waste half of your off time commuting to and from the hospital.
You’ve single handedly deterred me from becoming a doctor
please do more of these about the radiologist, I love your videos! keep up the good work!
".... AND I LOVE IT. " 🤣
Yes, the ego. My daughter's neurosurgeon had such swag.
As a nurse that works on a neurosurgery floor. This describes them perfectly.
I disagree with you 100%. Must be an "other country, other quirks" thing.
In 20+ years I've had 2 out of 70+ Neurosurgeons who were unpleasant egomaniacal buffoons.
But of my 4 persoonal GP's in those 20 years, I've only met one truly decent one - but I won't claim that most of our countries GP's are bungholes.
I need all this to be a workplace comedy-would be the only one I actually watch but it's actually funny
Damn, a power trip within a job that can give you another power trip. Hope I never have to deal with these kinds of surgeons
Math tells us you will if you work in the field, but they are vastly outnumbered by the decent ones everyone conveniently denies that exist.
"you're a brain surgeon huh? wellll.... its not exactly rocket science is it?"
“Joey hasn’t been outside in months.”
Sounds like the average gamer
This is the first of your videos that I ever watched, love the content that you put out
When I start my human anatomy degree I’ll be like a nicer Joey. Just let me live in the hospital in peace 🥴🥴😂😂😂😂
“Why should I let you into my OR?”
“Because it’s your fucking job to teach me.”
S t f u
Hell yeah!👏👏👍👍
well you get the joke
You make neurosurgeon sound like a dungeon master lol
Surgeons getting divorced and/or having side pieces is INCREDIBLY common. Ask any nurse.
Nurse here - nope, you watch too much Gray's Anatomy.
