Everybody Wants a Jonathan
About this video
During Jonathan office hours, department after department tries to borrow the ophthalmology scribe for night shifts, discharge duties, program leadership, orthopedic clinic, and neurology consult catch-up. Flanary portrays Jonathan nodding silently while his employer negotiates increasingly absurd assignments, including work as an emergency physician. Neurology trades insults about eyes as brain extensions before also requesting him. Family Medicine arrives after hours close and learns it needed paid time off just to ask. The sketch satirizes universal dependence on one support person.
Key takeaways
- Flanary portrays Jonathan as a universal substitute for clinical and administrative roles
- The sketch argues specialties compete for scarce support staff time
- His point is that family medicine is again last in line for help
