Getting access to Jonathan fixed his glasses, tightened his tie, buttoned his shirt, watered his crops, raised his credit score, and lowered his blood pressure 20 points
Plot twist: His diet consists primarily of various candy stolen from Paediatric, so the low-sodium low-cholesterol diet means his BP was bordering on low despite the chronic stress. Lowering it by a further 20 points now means he has pathologically low blood pressure. Ophthalmologist swoops in victorious, claiming that Johnathan must be returned immediately to protect Family Medicine’s health, and order is restored
@@lisastenzel5713 he's the general nurse practitioner. the one who serves as intern, associate, general care, the one doctors go to when they need a break or have questions, the one more qualified than some doctors but just need the oversight for paperwork, even neurologists and family care need a Johnathan.
Family Medicine getting Jonathon for twelve hours is like giving beavers access to an entire construction crew and their equipment. He's gonna get so much done that he won't know what to do with the other eleven hours.
The way he says "of course, they're my patients" like, why would they not recognize he's a person with a birthday as well as a doctor is so matter of fact and lovely. Cheers to a great sketch.
Honestly so nice to see family medicine getting a (sort of) win for once, thank you for not undercutting it in the punchline, you made my heart happy 💜 (also it seems I definitely care way too much about these fictional characters)
I was doing my best not to get my hopes up that it might not be happening, it would've been such a punch in the gut if family medicine wouldn't've gotten a Jonathan after that build-up. But he did! So I rewatched it without my guard up, and it was wholesome!
@@meapyboy12345 That's the joke. How far would you go get the scribe. The two general responses are either not getting the joke/finding it funny or playing along. Like "I asked my attorney and he said Jonathan is technically hospital property so you can't"
The transition of glasses placement on the characters was a hilarious touch. I’m looking forward to the merch. I gotta wear something to the next Cardiology/EP symposium. The new fellows brought up one of your critical care episodes recently. You have quite the large following now doc
I, too, can't wait for merch. I work in a hospital with an aggressively dismissive neurologist. I'd love to see a retractable badge clip saying, "Do you have a prion?" (Or something of the sort.)
You know your characters are well written when you can make people excited at seeing the collective representation of family medicine get all happy. Yay for FM!!
Seriously!!! I was worried for a second he was gonna take Jonathan back and I was gonna actually be mad!!!! 😂🤣😂 love how he looked like family medicine at the end. Brilliant!
The smile when Family medicine realizes,oof..made my day. Also, Family medicine is such a gem of a soul that his patients celebrate his birthday.He deserved it.
My Dad was a Family Physician for many years and I can confirm that he often looked pretty much like Family Medicine when he (finally) got home from work. He loved his job, but he worked extremely hard at it. After he passed away, we actually came across a form letter from the hospital essentially telling him to get his damn charts finished or else! (They really wouldn't have done anything, but he did tend to get behind in his charts 😄 He definitely could have used a full-time Johnathan!🤣) He taught Family Medicine at the University of Alberta for almost 20 years and always made sure to encourage residents rotating through the clinic to consider Family Medicine as their career path. It's not for the faint-hearted, but it can be immensely rewarding. Thank you for creating "Family Medicine" and giving him his due.
@@hibiscus-heron Dad was with the U of A Family Clinic program from 1969 to 1986 (the university granted him an extension of one year past the retirement age of 65).
Small world! I go to U of A :) Really hoping to be accepted into their MD program in a couple of years. The more I read comments like yours, the more I consider family medicine. Thanks for sharing!
@@bean-eater My Dad was an ace recruiter!😁 There was one young woman who wasn't sure where she wanted to proceed with her undergraduate science degree. She shadowed my Dad at the clinic for a couple of days and that convinced her that she wanted to be a family physician!😂
Edmonton FTW! I also have UofA roots, and it's the cherry on top of this wonderful sundae of a comment. Kudos to your father - family physicians are the backbone of medicine and how grateful I am for all the care they provide
I'm so happy for Family Medicine, he looked like he was about to cry when Oph gave him Jonathan. "Your patients remember your birthday?" "Yeah, they're MY patients". Such a fuzzball.
Family medicine making them sandwiches is such a nice touch! I hope Johnathan feels super appreciated- those extra sandwiches probably took a precious 45 seconds that FM could’ve used to treat 10 patients!!
I was like “IT’S HAPPENING IT’S FINALLY HAPPENING!!!” I didn’t even recognize family medicine with his glasses on straight (but funny how the ophthalmologist turned into family medicine when everyone came after him for stuffs)
Look at you out here making fictional family medicine happy for twelve whole hours. We love these fictional characters so much, that so many of us had our day made by this simple fictional gesture. What a great day ❤️☺️
As someone who was both a receptionist at a family med clinic and the rough equivalent of a Johnathan in an Air Force family med clinic... Eye Bro literally just gifted Family Med with a miracle from God.
I constantly forget that Doc and Johnathan are the same person. I constantly also have to remind myself that all the characters and Johnathan are played by the same person. Johnathan has a completely different aura.
My husband is currently battling 2 cancers, in the middle of it I have an emergency appendectomy, and while I'm in hospital the power goes out four times. I would love a t-shirt with Johnathan's framed pic that says "Everybody needs a Johnathan!" 💗 love your vids!
The glasses tell the tale!!!! When I was a new grad RN my bobby pins would just pop out of my hair and loose hair would Hang down messily, particularly on busy nights. At the end of the shift I look like I had been through a wind tunnel. It reminds me of the glasses!
I enojoyed how you've captured the special personal relationship FM doctors have with their patients , they're their patients for years after all. The fixing of the glasses along with the tie was the cherry on top
I’m family medicine for almost 30 years in solo practice. I’m seeing generations of patients. It’s long hours and hard work, but I love it. My patients bring me flowers and gifts, mostly baked goods, all the time, not just birthdays and Christmas. I love them and I feel the love back.
The look of almost lost hope as family medicine clung to the pic of Jonathan, the statement that he's the "backbone of medicine", the gifts from patients because "of course, they're my patients" and lastly, ophthalmology making his wildest dreams come true. Far and away the best video yet. A+ Doc Glauc (but I was having SERIOUS worries towards the end that family medicine was going to wake up in his bed, glasses and tie still askew, it all just a dream. The heartbreak!😭💔).
You have NO IDEA how close to home this hits. So many targets, so much paperwork, so many mundane tasks that take you away from what’s important- GOOD PATIENT CARE. I wish I had a Jonathan even for one hour…..
Family Medicine and PCPs deserve a 500% bump for their E/Ms now. Skim that money off the charges of specialists. Just reviewed a claim for an out of network orthopedist this week who did a shoulder arthroscopy. Charges were 125k for a 1.5 hour procedure and those are just the professional charges and not the facility charges. Medicine is beyond broken. Even out payments to the gatekeepers who bust their backs to keep their patients out of the hospital and healthy.
the way I actually screamed out loud when family medicine finally got some jonathan time sdjdhd i'm literally so happy for him, happy birthday family medicine! I hope you enjoy your present you deserve it!
Family medicine finally feeling happy and looking neat for the very first time is just something so personal to me 😢😢😭😭😍 Also, the scene where he gasped, he looked like Neurology who just got his haircut 😂
So happy for Family Medicine! The look of anticipation and sheer delight on his face within a few seconds.... give him an Oscar! Better yet, give Oscars for best supporting cast.
I'm so happy that Family Med finally got Jonathon's help! Well-deserved and long-deserved. I also love that when Jonathon and the Ophthalmologist exchanged nods, you could tell in that brief moment Ophthalmology is most likely, himself, a former Jonathon. (I liked that Jonathon seemed actually happy to be able to help Family Medicine out, too.)
I just LOVE how all the different branches have a PHYSICAL stereotype in your video so we can understand the character you are playing🥰 love your videos xoxoxo
This one was particular special, thanks for this. Family doctors are indeed the 'backbone" of medicine. As a patient, I'm glad to see that at least some MDs (at least You!) value them for what they are. Just like Dr Family Medicine here, they are the salt of the earth.
I have always asked my Doctors when their birthdays are. They are like family here in the Heartland. The real question is: When is Dr. G'S Bday? I think I read June/July?🎂🎉
As an FM August intern already struggling with documentation even though I was a full time Jonathan for 2 years before med school I cant wait till I can afford to hire my own Jonathan and pay him a descent salary he deserves
The look of thunder 'pon Jonathan's brow at the accusation that HE lost the keys was amazing. That single held look is a whole-day feel some days. Everyone knows Jonathan carefully documents the placement and position of every item he has ever interacted with, held, seen, or imagined. This is why Opth's case notes are several feet high (despite him never actually meeting the patient) and Ortho's are a post-it note stating "no bones, bro ☹️"?
I can't believe this actually uploaded ON my Father's birthday as he practices family medicine! I wish I could get him his own Jonathan. He loves your videos and I send them to him the moment you upload.
Without a Jonathan by your side, even Opthalmology can succumb to the same fate of family medicine. It's funny, my birthday's in a few days and I'm applying for family medicine residency myself! 🤣
I’m so happy for family medicine! I introduced your work to two nurses last night, they got a laugh. Considering healthcare burnout at the moment, any way I can give a laugh to someone in need is worthwhile. Can you do more on the allied health peeps?
OMG this made me so happy!!!!!! absolutely my favorite. Every one is my favorite but this might stay my favorite for a while. k i gotta go watch it again. I also love that he was going to make sammiches for Johnathan
It doesn't get better than this. You have outdone yourself, Dr G! I too need a Jonathan in my life! PS. Love how Ortho is using the time waiting to his benefit!
This made so HAPPY! THANK YOU!!! I felt for ophthalmologist a lot but also was so genuinely overly happy for family medicine!!! I love your acting chops and awesome story lines!!! I also appreciate your way of giving me so many laughs and different emotions in such a short time period! I hope you and your family are doing awesome! I thought your push ups were great!
I love how no one protested family medicine being the backbone of healthcare. I was waiting for the patients bringing him presents to be samples (because who doesn't want a faecal present?) but I think they were actually just normal genuine presents. Guess that's the distinction between birthday presents and everyday presents
Family medicine getting the love! And also reminding me that it's time once again for my annual visit with my PCP. I'm in the special land of mostly seeing specialists for special things, but my PCP is the hub in the middle of my health wheel and a great person all around.
This makes me so happy!!! I went into this scared I was gonna be genuinely, heart-hurtingly sad when he was inevitably disappointed by not getting a Johnathan, but ophthalmology saved the day!! I'm so happy family medicine is happy! :D
I'm not a Dr. ,nor do I work in the medical field but my mother was a nurse practitioner for all of my childhood she has worked in cancer wards and nursing homes for her entire career. So as a child there was no daycare it was go to work with mom and get put to work Doing water bottles,feeding and pushing wheel chairs and geriatric chairs ect.ect . With that said I have seen a good cross section of Doctors and the personalities that go with it and I have seen my mom check some of those personalities at the door. Your skits are killing me they are so good . Thanks for all you do
This was the first time seeing family medicine's straightened glasses... I was so confused and it took a while to realize it was him. Was Jonathan's effect instantaneous or did family medicine want to look nice for him? Either way super wholesome!
Awwww. Wonderful! I love Family Medicine and Bill best and so happy to see Family Medicine get Jonathan, even for a little While! The dawning recognition that he was going to get to have Jonathon. . . Well done!
These consistently make me laugh so hard. It's the first time i ever saw Jonathan without a smile. My BIL was a family medicine Dr. He loves these and really can relate. I am OD working in a cataract surgery center, we all have Jonathans. It's a beautiful thing.
As a son of a rural Family Medicine doc, the fact his patients gave him a birthday gift is very true. Even though I moved away 20 years ago, when I go visit my parents my dad's patients will stop me in the store and ask about me (after inquiring which child I am), then tell me about how great my dad is. He was, and still is, every bit as overworked as this skit shows, but his patients love him. He's "their doctor".
I’m FM and I teared up at “of course, they’re my patients!” It’s real. So is being a disheveled wreck, lol. I’m actually rural FM so add a little Texaco Mike - well, I just feel seen.
❤️🥰❤️🥰❤️ This is my favorite video yet!! You made Family Medicine's dreams come true!! I can't believe how happy I am for him! Thank you, Dr. G!! 😊😊😊 So, before your videos I had no idea Scribes existed (as they intend, no doubt), and when my dermatologist started talking to thin air, and then told me she was talking to her scribe, I literally did a double take behind me and said, "You have a Jonathan?!?!" She replied, yes, but she is working remotely." I am awed by the power of the Scribe to even read minds. And SO confused. WHY DON'T ALL FAMILY PRACTICE DOCS HAVE A SCRIBE??
I was so glad to see that I was only was halfway through the video at the “of course, they are my patients”. You could have stopped there and still would have a great and heartwarming piece. And the following part couldn’t have been better delivered. Awesome work!
Please don’t make fun of my push up form. Ophthalmologists have incredibly weak arms
Dont let ortho hear that
What are you talking about? That was bones bro, not the ophthalmologist
does jonathan have to lift you up and down when doing push ups
Shouldn't you just be laying or sitting on Johnathan while he does the pushups?
I laughed out loud when I saw it. Brilliant comedy, didn't look at the form
Getting access to Jonathan fixed his glasses, tightened his tie, buttoned his shirt, watered his crops, raised his credit score, and lowered his blood pressure 20 points
Johnathan, the general purpose person.

It's Jonathan. It's the only correct way to spell it, Pahtrek

Sorry about that Jawnohthen
Yeah he's gonna finish a month's worth of work in these 12 hours
Sorry you had to deal with that jawenithin
After twelve hours family medicine comes back as a model, boxer, internet star and standup comedian.
Literally develops the cure for diseases that don't even exist yet
So THAT'S how Dr. Mike does it all.
@@23skiddsy6 He has his own Johnathan???
Doc Mike?
So he becomes Dr Mike? Lol
Love the way the glasses straightened out for family medicine as soon as he got Jonathan’s help
Yes! And the opposite happened for ophthalmologist HAHHA
His tie straightens out, too, it's great!
I love the details 😍
I was so focused on whether they switched which way they were tilted I didn’t even notice that 🤣
@@WestleyTaninger And ophthalmology gained a disheveled tie lmao
The way he says "of course, they're my patients" like, why would they not recognize he's a person with a birthday as well as a doctor is so matter of fact and lovely. Cheers to a great sketch.
Man if I knew my neurologist’s birthday, I’d send him such a present.
I know I loved this line too
It makes me want to learn my PCP's birthday. Every time I see Family Medicine, I think of her.
@@scriptorpaulina just send him a present whenever if you feel he deserves it! Best kind of presents are unexpected ones!
As a family medicine doctor, I can confirm my patients do bring me presents. Those relationships all the other stuff worth it
Honestly so nice to see family medicine getting a (sort of) win for once, thank you for not undercutting it in the punchline, you made my heart happy 💜
(also it seems I definitely care way too much about these fictional characters)
I'm sad infectious disease skipped the party, probably too busy riding a motorcycle while picking up babes.
I care too much as well, you aren't alone.
It's because they're so relatable! @Liminal
Right there with ya! I'm completely invested!
I was doing my best not to get my hopes up that it might not be happening, it would've been such a punch in the gut if family medicine wouldn't've gotten a Jonathan after that build-up. But he did! So I rewatched it without my guard up, and it was wholesome!
As an ER johnathan, I can confirm looking for misplaced EKG’s is my primary occupation.
Not nearly enough likes for this comment, omg.
Are you also the one that finds the misplaced surgical consent that doesn't come up with the patient's chart? Because if so, you are my hero!
Yes this is true haha
You do the Lord's work 😂
And the department would crumble without you. Thank you for your services ER Johnathan
I'd buy a shirt with that on it:
"Oh yeah, sorry. I had a busy afternoon being the backbone of medicine."
😂
Same
ditto!
Absolutely. Take my money.
I feel so genuinely happy for family medicine! Finally he got what he deserves
I was afraid he wasnt going to get it. I would have hated that!
I felt genuine happiness for him
So true! He should get a full time Jonathan
imho he deserves that and so much more
He deserves a lot more than 12 hours. More like 12 years
"Of course. They're my patients." That says it all. Family Medicine, you're a hero -- and your patients know it.
Love this. My wife is an ophthalmologist with a loyal scribe, and I'm a family medicine PA. I always ask if I can borrow her scribe, and she refuses.
Maybe ask for them for your birthday?
😱😢
... Can you get him in a divorce?
@@ElGreco15 ayyyy thats a little extreme in my opinion
@@meapyboy12345 That's the joke. How far would you go get the scribe. The two general responses are either not getting the joke/finding it funny or playing along.
Like "I asked my attorney and he said Jonathan is technically hospital property so you can't"
Backstory: Jonathan has been feeling underappreciated so he made Ophthalmology think that this was his idea so Ophthalmology can learn a lesson.
Gasp! So he HID the keys
I think Jonathan decided he has a mission in Family Medicine
@@5fingerjack his scrib(ey) senses were tingling!
The transition of glasses placement on the characters was a hilarious touch. I’m looking forward to the merch. I gotta wear something to the next Cardiology/EP symposium. The new fellows brought up one of your critical care episodes recently. You have quite the large following now doc

You know your characters are well written when you can make people excited at seeing the collective representation of family medicine get all happy. Yay for FM!!
Oh my God he DELIVERED AND GAVE FAMILY MEDICINE A JONATHAN (For a short amount of time)! HE LISTENED TO US😭🥺😍
Pediatrics and Family Medicine are my favourite characters, I'm happy with one of them getting what they deserve.

We know.
Jonathan is the back brace temporarily relieving the backbone's pain.
Family medicine making them sandwiches is such a nice touch! I hope Johnathan feels super appreciated- those extra sandwiches probably took a precious 45 seconds that FM could’ve used to treat 10 patients!!
The best part of this video is the shift of the glasses on both of them. 🤣
I love how the happy birthday from the paediatrician was so in character that you knew he was used to surprising kids!
Brilliant, absolutely brilliant. The ending with the ophthalmologist's glasses really got me 😂😂
And the fact that he's suddenly wearing a tie 😂
Its is an allegory for the reasons why Family Medicine looks the way he does!
Jonathan's dead-eyed glare at the beginning gives me life
Finally, family medicine's dream has come true! And I love how the stress transfers from family medicine over to opthalmology 😂

Family medicine immediately became less disheveled as soon as Johnathan started. Nice small detail.
And 12-hours nightmare for the ophthalmologist. What can he do without his loyal scribe, Johnathan!?
Instant regrets.

OMG this made me so happy!!!!!! absolutely my favorite. Every one is my favorite but this might stay my favorite for a while. k i gotta go watch it again. I also love that he was going to make sammiches for Johnathan
It doesn't get better than this. You have outdone yourself, Dr G! I too need a Jonathan in my life! PS. Love how Ortho is using the time waiting to his benefit!
Yay Family Medicine!!! Finally!!! Merely the presence of Jonathan straightens his glasses and fixes his tie.
JONATHAN!
He's so gracious for someone who doesn't say a word.
This made so HAPPY! THANK YOU!!! I felt for ophthalmologist a lot but also was so genuinely overly happy for family medicine!!! I love your acting chops and awesome story lines!!! I also appreciate your way of giving me so many laughs and different emotions in such a short time period! I hope you and your family are doing awesome!
I thought your push ups were great!
I absolutely love how you put this together 😀
I love how no one protested family medicine being the backbone of healthcare.
I was waiting for the patients bringing him presents to be samples (because who doesn't want a faecal present?) but I think they were actually just normal genuine presents. Guess that's the distinction between birthday presents and everyday presents
Family medicine getting the love!
And also reminding me that it's time once again for my annual visit with my PCP. I'm in the special land of mostly seeing specialists for special things, but my PCP is the hub in the middle of my health wheel and a great person all around.
I can't express how much laughter and joy you brought to so many lives. Thank you!
I almost fell off the treadmill when Ophtho’s glasses went sideways. 🤣
As someone who’s birthday is also today; I’m happy to share it with Family medicine!
This makes me so happy!!! I went into this scared I was gonna be genuinely, heart-hurtingly sad when he was inevitably disappointed by not getting a Johnathan, but ophthalmology saved the day!! I'm so happy family medicine is happy! :D
I'm not a Dr. ,nor do I work in the medical field but my mother was a nurse practitioner for all of my childhood she has worked in cancer wards and nursing homes for her entire career. So as a child there was no daycare it was go to work with mom and get put to work
Doing water bottles,feeding and pushing wheel chairs and geriatric chairs ect.ect . With that said I have seen a good cross section of Doctors and the personalities that go with it and I have seen my mom check some of those personalities at the door. Your skits are killing me they are so good . Thanks for all you do
This was the first time seeing family medicine's straightened glasses... I was so confused and it took a while to realize it was him. Was Jonathan's effect instantaneous or did family medicine want to look nice for him? Either way super wholesome!
I’ve decided that they’re in love. Family Medicine will treat Jonathon so much better than Ophthalmology every would.
Awwww. Wonderful! I love Family Medicine and Bill best and so happy to see Family Medicine get Jonathan, even for a little While! The dawning recognition that he was going to get to have Jonathon. . . Well done!
I want a Jonathan too
The ultimate sacrifice! That’s true love for family medicine right there
These consistently make me laugh so hard. It's the first time i ever saw Jonathan without a smile. My BIL was a family medicine Dr. He loves these and really can relate. I am OD working in a cataract surgery center, we all have Jonathans. It's a beautiful thing.
The "what have I done?" at the end 🤣
As a son of a rural Family Medicine doc, the fact his patients gave him a birthday gift is very true. Even though I moved away 20 years ago, when I go visit my parents my dad's patients will stop me in the store and ask about me (after inquiring which child I am), then tell me about how great my dad is. He was, and still is, every bit as overworked as this skit shows, but his patients love him. He's "their doctor".
YAY ! ...
12 full hours of Jonathan ! ...
Happy birthday, family medicine 🎉
Aww this was so sweet. I love when they do nice things for each other. And learn new things :)
Give this man his personal Jonathan, Poor Family Medicine.
I’m FM and I teared up at “of course, they’re my patients!” It’s real.
So is being a disheveled wreck, lol.
I’m actually rural FM so add a little Texaco Mike - well, I just feel seen.
Many, many thanks to family medicine doctors. Mine is heaven sent!!
Jonathan’s smile is so wholesome, it makes me so happy!
Love,love love these videos as a retired family practice doctor with a rough internship/residency which is now rather funny to look back on.
I was expecting another portrait of jonathon that says "Good work" XD But I'm happy he got a temporary jonathon to help him
❤️🥰❤️🥰❤️ This is my favorite video yet!! You made Family Medicine's dreams come true!! I can't believe how happy I am for him! Thank you, Dr. G!! 😊😊😊
So, before your videos I had no idea Scribes existed (as they intend, no doubt), and when my dermatologist started talking to thin air, and then told me she was talking to her scribe, I literally did a double take behind me and said, "You have a Jonathan?!?!" She replied, yes, but she is working remotely." I am awed by the power of the Scribe to even read minds. And SO confused. WHY DON'T ALL FAMILY PRACTICE DOCS HAVE A SCRIBE??
I was so glad to see that I was only was halfway through the video at the “of course, they are my patients”. You could have stopped there and still would have a great and heartwarming piece. And the following part couldn’t have been better delivered. Awesome work!
