Ortho pulled to cover medicine during COVID19 pandemic. ------

00:00 - 00:03 The medicine and ED teams are dropping like flies.

00:04 - 00:05 Med students graduated early

00:05 - 00:07 to help with the COVID patients

00:08 - 00:12 Urology and ENT are already on the wards.

00:12 - 00:15 Even plastics is helping out the ICU.

00:17 - 00:19 Ortho is protected.

00:19 - 00:21 We still have trauma cases to cover.

00:24 - 00:26 Program director...

00:27 - 00:28 Ortho...

00:31 - 00:33 Ortho is being pulled to the floors...

00:34 - 00:36 to the ED and the ICU.

00:53 - 00:58 PAs, NPs, and medical students need to leave

01:13 - 01:15 What the fuck is this shit?!

01:15 - 01:17 This is complete bullshit!

01:18 - 01:23 I did not score a 260 on my step 1

01:25 - 01:28 and suffer through 4 away rotations

01:29 - 01:31 to treat pneumonia!

01:31 - 01:34 I am a highly trained SURGEON

01:34 - 01:37 who specializes in arthroscopy, tendon transfers,

01:37 - 01:40 joint replacements, and spinal fusions!

01:40 - 01:42 Sir, they will use us on proning teams first.

01:42 - 01:46 I don't care about proning teams!

01:46 - 01:48 They need us. We are the strongest specialty.

01:48 - 01:52 I don't bench over 250 so I can prone patients.

01:53 - 01:54 I do it to fix bones!

01:56 - 01:57 Stop acting like such a pansy.

01:57 - 02:00 I bet you skip leg day and wear lifting gloves.

02:00 - 02:03 You belong with the other medicine nerds.

02:04 - 02:08 I hope you enjoy percussing people's bellies

02:08 - 02:13 and pretending like it's actually useful...

02:14 - 02:16 and doing rectal exams on C. Diff patients...

02:17 - 02:21 Rounding for 4 hours a day and jerking off to Frank-Starling curves.

02:27 - 02:29 The trachea and lungs are flimsy.

02:30 - 02:34 I like things with substance and strength.

02:34 - 02:36 Like bones and metal!

02:41 - 02:42 All those hours wasted...

02:43 - 02:47 reading Rockwood and Green's and Hoppenfeld.

02:48 - 02:53 Reducing distal radius fractures to near anatomic position

02:54 - 02:56 Now we're being downgraded

02:56 - 02:59 to managing diabetes, CHF, and COPD.

03:00 - 03:02 Our muscles will atrophy!

03:04 - 03:07 It's okay. We still have protein shakes.

03:14 - 03:16 I guess I'll go get my reflex hammer.

03:19 - 03:23 Or that dangly thing they call a "stethoscope".

03:25 - 03:26 We're fucked.

03:31 - 03:33 We will go to the floors...

03:40 - 03:46 We learned medicine once, and we knew it better than these people.

03:46 - 03:49 Shove that 'dumb jock' stereotype up their asses.
