Get Ready With Me: Pathologist
About this video
This Get Ready With Me parody follows Flanary’s pathologist character through a morning narrated entirely in laboratory imagery. He picks the day’s weather by which histology stain it resembles, describes getting dressed through a convoluted cancer-therapy metaphor, and spends time inventing immunohistochemical stains for residents to memorize but never use. His companion Tabitha is dragged out of bed, breakfast and coffee are described by their staining colors, and they head to the hospital for a full day of staring deeply into slides.
Key takeaways
- The routine is built from laboratory and microscopy metaphors only pathologists would find cozy
- Flanary jokes that residents are made to memorize stains they will rarely use
- Coffee, clothing, and weather are all translated into histology staining terms
- The closing joke is that the workday is spent staring into slides, personified here as his cat-like companion
