Internal Medicine Orders Lunch
About this video
Internal Medicine tries to order lunch during rounds and turns a simple choice into an endless differential: options are considered, alternatives cannot be excluded, preferences are weighed like evidence, and someone proposes a multi-arm randomized trial to decide. Flanary applies the team’s clinical reasoning style to food to caricature deliberation without resolution. It pairs with his other Internal Medicine sketches, where thoroughness is portrayed as the specialty’s comic flaw.
Key takeaways
- Flanary caricatures Internal Medicine deliberation by applying it to lunch
- The sketch treats ruling out alternatives as a barrier to everyday decisions
- A proposed randomized trial is the punchline for evidence-based excess
