I have a teacher in med school who's a GS. I cannot believe how kind he is, he was and still is my favorite teacher. After all he shared about his residency experience (hes on his 60s), which is obviously, terrible and all that, he still chose and remained to be kind. I reallly salute surgeons, or even other physicians, who choose to be kind despite all the terrible things they went thru as a student. He said, "i was a student too before, so i know how it feels".

All while complaining that the bachelor students straight out of high school fucked up on the article formatting, so it constitutes plagiary to not get the quote in the correct alignment and this means a penalty.

I was always told it was cuz of the constipation, but I felt like that was mostly a cop-out. Also, I’m fine now. Had a corrective surgery a little over a year ago & no more SBOs! 😁

I remember being so tired in surgery residency training that I’d often fall asleep standing up on rounds. Scalpels being thrown by older, big-wig surgeons in the OR were not uncommon. Some of that behavior was due to stress and fatigue. But, the field also attracts those with big egos who select and favor those of similar kind to train. Nowadays, though, the culture is changing. Younger surgeons and the profession in general have actively strived to move away from this toxicity. Also, as you get away from the academic centers and into private practice and community settings, behaviors of the sort are not as well tolerated, if at all. Still, it is true that surgery is a Calling. And, well, sometimes, you’ve gotta yell back at that Calling (but not at people :) .

Yeah, I have found urologists to be a bit more down to earth. I haven't idea why specialties have personalities but it seems like they do. Maybe we just have a personality in mind and only remember the people who reinforce that perception? For my hospital, the general surgeons are generally a nice lot. I will say that one does do a lot of the whole "every other specialty always gets everything wrong" thing that general surgeons seem to do. She criticizes medicine for mismanaging patients yet consults medicine for everything. She obviously also criticizes radiology for not reading things correctly and ER for being generally dumb. I tend to think surgeons forget that their environment is informative in a way that other specialties don't get to see. They open up patients and verify radiology imaging with their own eyes. They see fluid management in real time as they communicate with anesthesia. Etc. And I think part of that is that specialties don't spend any time in each other's worlds during training. If we had ER and medicine residents in the OR for a month and sent surgery residents to inpatient medicine for a month, maybe communication would be better. She's still nice, but it's clear she feels intellectually superior to other people in the hospital.

The second time around, still that guy, I was still helping the nurses when he walked in, seeing that I obviously couldn’t have washed my hand yet, and yelled at me for being too slow when he was already done. And it wasn’t even just in the OR. He called me up in front of my entire class the next day and yelled at me again in front of them. But hey I was actually one of the luckier ones according to my peers cause that guy would kick you out of the OR for standing too close/far.

Circulator here. I've been surprised at how much pushback has come from OR staff against misbehaving surgeons. Had a scrub tech openly lecture the surgeon about his treatment of another tech and in another case the tech told the surgeon to get his own instruments after getting an instrument thrown at them. She stayed scrubbed in so as to avoid any claims of patient abandonment, but she refused to assist him until he apologized and changed his behavior... which occurred within 2 minutes of him having to find what he needed out of the set. Other posters are correct in saying that there has started to be a change in surgeon personality. A lot of newer and even older surgeons are team players with many having previous experience as techs and know the difficulties associated with the other jobs. I'm happy to say that I've never seen the surgeon anesthesia relationship put out by this channel at my workplace. Most are on a first name basis with each other and bed movement requests are accompanied by a please or at least in a 'could you' format. But there's always the exceptions.

That is absolutely retarded. I am a general surgeon, and I have never yelled or thrown stuff at staff if they were doing their job as expected. We are dealing with lives here. If my fecking mosquito doesn’t hold, or LigaSure doesn’t ligate properly, well suprise, people die! And also I must mention: all the responsibility belongs to me. So, for TLDR: if you do you work right, you will have nothing to fear from GS. You will be respected, and even revered from him. And if you don’t; go facking work in a wallmart. We are dealing with lives over here.

Oooooo. This is so true. And all the reasons I signed up for surgery in 1982. Thank god they decided I would be the first “ unfunded resident “. That is I would be living in a call room stealing food from the patients . Or on the other day of 1 in 2 I would be living at the ymca or homeless shelter. That broke my resolve so went into family med. Have gotten to do all the surgery I needed for 40 years. !

I had a general surgery professor throw a pancreatic tumor on me in the operation room for not knowing the blood vessel running around it. I wish that was enough, but he started to laugh and then everyone around him started to laugh. Not because it was fun. No, because when he laughed everyone had to laugh.

This video is made on such a light note. Too good! ❤ Nevertheless, surgeons are the beast. Seeing my surgery professors make me take pride in being an aspiring surgeon. (Do I sound like a part of perpetuating the malignant culture?😅) They are all such renowned faces in their field but so kind and loving. And they do share their stories of struggle and how their good professors made them appreciate kindness amidst the chaos.

A colorectal surgeon had a patient in lithotomy for several hours a year or two ago. I was the anesthesiologist and when I visited the patient the next day she had some numbness from what was clearly a stretch/compression injury of a femoral cutaneous nerve. The surgeon, however, had told her earlier that she had “a touch of malignant hyperthermia” resulting in the numbness. I was in awe at this combination of brazenness and ignorance.

Difficult for me to visualize. I can understand that the dorsal lithotomy position could cause dysfunction of the obturator nerve but can't quite visualize how the lateral femoral cutaneous nerve would be impinged upon. Was the pt. obese? The hip extended and rotated externally?
@srr9281

Actually the nerve got trapped under the inguinal ligament in that position, especially for long periods of time.

The lateral cutaneous nerve exits the pelvis under the inguinal ligament, and it’s already a tight space. Much like the carpal tunnel at the wrists.

HNS here. My favorite joke along these themes: two vascular surgeons are having lunch. First dude asks the second dude, "How did your morning go?" Second dude says, "Terrible. I was repairing an abdominal aortic aneurysm and the guy bled to death on the table." First dude shouts, "WHO THE HELL WAS YOUR ANESTHESIOLOGIST?" Anesthesiologists love that joke.

All the surgeons from my medical school at the time were the nicest, most passionate, yet kind hearted people on earth. However the biggest a-holes were the anesthesiologists followed by nearly the entire internal medicine dept. I remember my anesthesiologist attending had that Gordon Ramsay-type attitude, was the only one who yelled and made me cry throughout medical school.
