I‘m a surgeon and I apologize ALL the time. Yesterday for example I told a patient I was sorry I couldn’t operate on him today because anaesthesia was lame and lazy and didn’t want to work overtime again. Took me all the effort though.
I read Surgeon Apocalypse :D , but I read with my Brain, not my Eyes. That happens a lot -.- In A Way, it was an Apocalypse for the general Surgeon, so everthing plays out
Same, in middle of have-to-do stuff, see title and was pressing play while brain still registering what it read. I'd better get back to the other stuff now.
He didn’t sign his real name that he’s always trying to get the surgeon to call him… I guess the surgeon did so well with apologizing that he now has a pass for not knowing anesthesia’s name
Thanks so much for pointing this out. I've been having eye problems (oh, the irony) and my vision wasn't good enough to see that without your heads up to really peer at it.
I'm pretty sure doctors in medical school learn to be really really vicious in defending their lunch money. Considering it probably takes the 3-6 years to save up enough for lunch I can't blame them.
as a former ER scribe, I concur. Several ER docs gave me lessons about how to express condolences to relations when a patient died without saying, "I'm sorry". Those words were taboo and would get you sued, or so the tale goes.
This video is supposed to be an exaggeration, but in reality when I think about it...I really never have seen a surgeon apologize for something that was their fault.
As a student I witnessed a surgeon cut her assistant who was completely stationary holding a retractor the surgeon had placed and told them to hold. "I think you've just cut me". [Awkward 5 second pause] "Your hand got in the way of where I was cutting." Needless to say I am not a surgeon.
"what you have done for staff morale... it's more than we could do with 1000 wellness modules." Spot on! As always incredible insight into every aspect of every profession!
Dr Glauconflacken, I'm a retired Nurse Anesthetist. Retirement has been rough for me. I really miss my job. But you have done more for my mental health over this last week - since I first discovered you - than any treatment, drug or therapy - EVER! Well done! 😃💗
Man I felt this shock. My podiatrist is a nice guy with patients, but I saw him ripping into nurses almost every time I went to an appointment and half of the time it was a miscommunication/assumption he made. Did he ever apologize? Nope, just moved along like he was in the right and smiled like he wasn't being an ass two seconds ago.
I'm an OR nurse and everytime a surgeon is losing his mind on the staff, I always wonder what patient's would think if they suddenly woke up to that. Patients have NO idea what happens after they're asleep. I used to think a great reality show, would be putting hidden cameras in the OR for when the surgeon goes apeshit and then showing it. Sometimes an anesthesia provider is the culprit, too. Circulators and scrubs aren't allowed to go off no matter what, but surgeons are allowed to go off over anything with little to no repercussions.
My surgeon said that I had a lot of adhesions from gallstones - closest he came to admitting that I was right and he was **wrong** that the pain I had wasn't "musculoskeletal" and that it was gall attacks.
So true. Love everyone's reactions when the surgeon is running late - everyone just quietly waiting and bored. Now if someone other than the surgeon is late they are all wondering and asking where the person is, paging them, and yelling at them for the hold up. LOL.
This makes me laugh because I was a patient who received an apology (and a handshake) from a surgeon. When the nurses heard, they excitedly pressed me for details after my appointment as they giggled to themselves that the Doc was made, by the hospital, to make nice with me for his behaviour.
So for those asking what happened: I had a planned orthopedic surgery. My surgeon and I had discussed my issues with pain control/complications due to a genetic disorder, and come up with a treatment plan that involved admission for an otherwise outpatient procedure. To avoid giving too much detail, the long and short of it is he didn't follow through with any of it, and caused me significant distress/unnecessary pain/delay of treatment. My mother snapped. Never seen someone go full momma bear so fast. She made some calls, a patient liason was involved, the end result was the surgeon being educated/the eventual apology. As a fun little bonus, another surgeon who I saw had gone to med school with the offending ortho. He was unsurprised at what had transpired and laughed at the other doc having to go to "charm school".
I clicked on this so fast! One time I was scrubbed in with one of my general surgery docs and he was being really grouchy to me. When he came back for the next case instead of saying sorry for being grumpy he said “I was hungry. I’m better now.” It was the closest I ever got to a sorry. Can you make a surgery one when you give the doctor what they asked for but it wasn’t what they actually wanted and it’s your fault for not mind reading?
I have been there when everyone makes eye contact around the room and immediately asks what is wrong with the doctor. Gotta love the certificate with a CEO backwards E.
If hospital legal is good, they will know doctors who explain the situation and are apologetic elicit more sympathy than those who don't admit guilt and draw less lawsuits :)
Does that mean you’re watching this during an ongoing surgery? 😂 as someone not in medicine, it’s funny to see the stereotypes reinforced in the comments
When I was a SPI teaching med students to do normative exams and having them give checkups you could always tell who was going into surgery and who was going into peds. Every time.
I would've gone for a reverse from the CEO. "We heard you apologized 😁. See to it that never happens again 😠. We can't have you admitting fault for anything. It's a massive liability." Still though funny shit as usual.
Hearing a surgeon apologice must be the same feeling some people have when their parents apologize to them for doing something wrong instead of derailing the conversation to avoid having to make an apology.
Fun fact, HR sole focus is to benefit the business. They aren't the employee advocate. They will screw employees over real quick to protect the business. That's what the union rep is for, or in the case of travel nurses, the agency recruiter.
I'm coming from the veterinary side, but I worked with two boarded surgeons who were awesome. They expected a lot from their staff, but they genuinely cared about all of us, and our department had some of the best morale in the whole hospital.
My patient: hemoglobin is dropping. Obviously bleeding from op site. Surgeon: take an iron study and a peripheral blood film. Find out whats causing the anemia. Coz it’s obviously NOT my fault. Haha every damn time.
I knew a dude at school who was aiming to become a surgeon. 'Andreas', top grades, driven, a probable sociopath with a terrifying lack of empathy... He would argue, ridicule and be genuinely mean to avoid conceding fault in any way. God, I hope I never need surgery at whatever hospital he works at now. Someone tell me not all surgeons are like that?
"Not all surgeons are like that." I mean, you didn't ask for an honest answer but you did ask for that particular answer so, there you go. Enjoy. Seriously though, I'd say most surgeons develop the same attitude as the attendings that train them. They are people and people tend to mimic their superiors. Monkey see monkey do.
Left eye done! Right eye is scheduled. Luckily I have no nerve damage, according to my wonderful ophthalmologist. He’s great! Not funny, but kind and really good at what he does!
@@melissaconnellyjones2622 I’m really sorry to hear that. I was so scared when I was told I had narrow angles. I’m so glad there are people who love to fix eyeballs. I was really Squamish when I had to dissect an eyeball in biology class.
I have watched three times. Love the CEO’s reaction 😂I am a theatre nurse who has worked in OT more than 10 years. This is so true. Surgeons don’t apologize.
I almost got an apology from the OB who delivered my first child. He'd been quite dismissive of me during labor, like "Quit being such a big baby!" though not in those words. I was evading pain relief because our insurance didn't cover it (1986, Texas,) but finally he's like, "You have to have an epidural, you're going to wear yourself out," (true, I was at the point of understanding why women just give up and die in childbirth.) Once that took effect, I really wasn't thinking about anything except the blissful relief. Someone comes in, says "turn over," then, "turn over again," then "surgery, now!" They do general anesthesia on top of my fresh epidural: you tell me, is this because they were afraid I'd freak out? Four hours later, I wake up, baby's okay, but I learned later (different doctor,) that the baby's heartrate had dropped critically low, and he was a little blue (and pissed) when he came out. Later OB and pediatrician come into my room and OB is kind of sheepish, notes that I had actually birthed a toddler. (He did have a ginormous head.) So maybe I wasn't such a big baby? (He also (slightly) cut the baby's cheek when he sliced me open, but maybe that's not uncommon? Except I don't think he realized the baby was in the posterior position (sunnyside up) and literally had gotten stuck, so...he probably needed to feel a little sheepish about that, too.) The bright side to story is, our terrible insurance didn't cover any part of a normal birth, so we had prepaid. But they did cover c-sections, so we actually got a refund. 😂
Gather round, and let the curmodgeonly anaesthesiologist regale ye with a tale of old. There was once a surgical dept. head (I shall not name the specialty) who was so notoriously late that the Sandman's horde (anaesthesiology) deployed their lawful good and wrote down alllll the minutes of waiting time. Every day. For a year. And on the thirteenth moon, they added the sum and went to the sovereign of the land to present their findings. The wise one ruled that the perpetually late surgeon owed them what amounted to a year's wages for costs incurred, and proceeded to subtract said sum from the sad surgeon's wages. Lo and behold, for in the land far and wide, not a single minute was wasted on waiting time henceforth... and the Sandman's horde happily returned to their chaotic good ways...
I almost had to go back a few seconds and make sure I heard the actual apology. It happens so fast, I nearly didn't register it. But I did get it, and the aftermath was funny.
These videos showing Surgeon always remind me of working in a hospital in High school for nursing classes. It was the only time in my life I have seen a 30-something man throw a temper tantrum. I will never remember what he was screaming about, only that he was making it very clear he was upset about his surgery being cancelled and he was doing this in the General Ward.
Please keep doing what you do. I think you'll be as big as Dr. Mike, soon. I've been watching y'all and Dr. Schmidt from the jump. Would love to see some collabs.
I love when one surgeon is too lazy to do his job and then another one has to do it because, ya know, morbidity and mortality, and they get mad at me and tell me that it’s “bullshit!”
Former OR nurse here - hilarious. And have I ever heard an apology from a surgeon? Never. Even after he flung a blood-soaked sponge across the room, wizzing past my face by inches, and splatting on the wall. Landed right on a poster that read, "The Circulating Nurse is responsible for morale in the Operating Room." LOL!
Interesting..... I've also found that some (by no means all) mothers in law have problems apologising, particularly when they are in the wrong. Imagine if your mother in law was also a surgeon. 😬 It makes me wonder if there is there a rug big enough to cater to the issues swept under it. 😆
But the CEO just contaminated the operating theatre, thank you CEO you've just undone Surgery's good work and everyone will have to re-sterilise the room.
I was about to say "oh come on, they apologize all the time," then tried to think of a single instance in which I've heard a surgeon apologize. Still working on it.
I can't decide what part is the funniest- the patient waking up and getting in on it, the CEO showing up and giving the surgeon an award, or that the "E" in CEO on the award is backwards.
I look forward to the day any ortho surgeon apologizes. Many of them act like whiney little kids. I always look forward to your latest and greatest Dr. Glaucomflecken.

Should be part two.
It must he,as the patient was shocked he apologized.
I thought that's what the CEO was in for.
Yea because technically he’s admitting fault and that never goes over well with hospital lawyers lol
I think it would be Risk Management that would be losing its marbles. But technically speaking, they are hospital lawyers.

Ok but the way Ortho looks so *proud* as he says "I'm on 8 apologies today"

Has me cackling on my night shift whilst checking a bunch of to-go orders that surgeons put in right before peacing out for the night lol.
notice the anesthesia co signed the award with the ceo. we underestimated his power!
At least as much as 10 pizza parties

I saw this and clicked immediately. I was like "SURGERY APOLOGIZING? I've gotta see this"

I did an OR clinical rotation in nursing school and watched this happen THREE TIMES in the SAME DAY. All different surgeons.
Anyone going into medicine or med-adjacent should have to watch at least 3 hours of this channel 1st.
The backwards "E" in the CEO's signature is GOLD
As someone who has worked as a corporate bureaucrat, there needed to be little hearts around it, too.
I have been there when everyone makes eye contact around the room and immediately asks what is wrong with the doctor. Gotta love the certificate with a CEO backwards E.
An apology from someone in authority really is worth a 1000 wellness modules! 🏆
More like they should apologize for forcing people to do those wellness modules.
That was some world-class acting by the hospital CEO 😂 Almost got me teary-eyed.
Hospital legal is not going to like this. If he gets used to apologizing, think of all the lawsuits.
If hospital legal is good, they will know doctors who explain the situation and are apologetic elicit more sympathy than those who don't admit guilt and draw less lawsuits :)
"I apologized thousands of real times" really hit me on a deep and personal level.
As a nurse, I can confirm the lack of apologies. Also, the Fan Fiction here is GOLD!!!!!
Going to print this certificate out and keep in my work locker just in case I can ever use it. Sincerely, a surgical RN
What you have done for staff morale is more than we could've done with 1000 wellness modules 🤣🤣🤣
The med student listening to his own heartbeat lol 😂😂
I missed that the first time!
Isn't that Dr. Bill Bill?
This is absolute perfection! Ortho's apologies for sending people upstairs, and that certificate from the CEO... You're awesome doc, thanks for this.
It's amazing that I can tell who every character is just by their hat and demeanor. I've spent way too much time in the operating room.
It was weird realizing that I knew who they all were because I only recently subbed. Wild how good the portrayals are.
As a nurse anesthetist, I loved the "do you want a break?" ....I wish... I had one now
Does that mean you’re watching this during an ongoing surgery? 😂 as someone not in medicine, it’s funny to see the stereotypes reinforced in the comments
As a PA that used to work as a first-assist in the OR, I laughed so hard at this video, it's my favorite one!
My daughter is the DON of a surgical unit. I sent this to her. I thought she would die of laughter. Good job Dr G.

Interesting..... I've also found that some (by no means all) mothers in law have problems apologising, particularly when they are in the wrong.
Imagine if your mother in law was also a surgeon. 😬
It makes me wonder if there is there a rug big enough to cater to the issues swept under it. 😆
I thought it was physically impossible for surgeons to apologize!
Just sent this to our general surgeons.
But the CEO just contaminated the operating theatre, thank you CEO you've just undone Surgery's good work and everyone will have to re-sterilise the room.
Brilliant!! Thank you, it really made me laugh as a surgery resident.
i love how in the award, the E is backwards in CEO and its signed by anesthesia 🤣
The CEO speech had me close to tears!!!!! Lets all be kind to surgery now he has changed....maybe he will stay that way.
I was about to say "oh come on, they apologize all the time," then tried to think of a single instance in which I've heard a surgeon apologize. Still working on it.
I can't decide what part is the funniest- the patient waking up and getting in on it, the CEO showing up and giving the surgeon an award, or that the "E" in CEO on the award is backwards.
I look forward to the day any ortho surgeon apologizes. Many of them act like whiney little kids. I always look forward to your latest and greatest Dr. Glaucomflecken.
Bro I'm not in the medical field but I love these. Keep up the hard work
Plot twist: it was sincere because he felt bad for making everyone wait to watch him work.
If this wasn’t so true to life, it would be funny. Instead it’s kinda just sad. Huge props for making it so accurate though!!
🤣🤣The CEO's emotion. Fantastic.
He'd say "thanks" but that's just too much for one day, he's saving it for his retirement day
THE CEO'S SIGNATURE 🤣🤣🤣🤣☠️☠️☠️☠️☠️
An apology so powerful it woke the patient from drug induced coma
Ugh! Gosh darn wellness modules!!! 😂
Imagine waking up in the middle of surgery to find your surgeon apologising that’s when you realise it’s about to go down
