4th of July Weekend Call
About this video
Emergency Medicine introduces the on-call team for Fourth of July weekend, when the public experiments with explosives and alcohol. Flanary lines up orthopedics for fractures from jumping, an eager trauma surgeon who requested the shift, radiology for exploded-hand imaging, and plastic surgery that has already transferred its consults away. Ophthalmology has to be physically restrained to participate and produces a backup Jonathan. The sketch satirizes holiday call as predictable chaos nobody wants.
Key takeaways
- Flanary portrays Fourth of July call as an alcohol- and fireworks-driven injury surge
- The sketch jokes that trauma surgery is the one service eager for holiday call
- His point is that ophthalmology holiday coverage is portrayed as nearly impossible to secure
