Doctor’s Day “Gift”
About this video
Hospital administration announces a Doctor’s Day gift: a tax-deductible donation to the hospital’s own research fund made in the physicians’ honor, apparently from their paychecks. Flanary satirizes institutional appreciation that costs the institution nothing and benefits its tax position, as pediatrics and orthopedics quickly see through the gesture. Anesthesia resolves the scene by putting the CEO to sleep so the doctors can at least enjoy quiet time instead of a gift.
Key takeaways
- Flanary portrays the Doctor’s Day gift as benefiting the hospital’s finances more than doctors
- The sketch satirizes appreciation gestures funded, in his portrayal, from physicians’ own paychecks
- Anesthesia’s response is to create rest by putting the CEO to sleep in the sketch
