Med Student’s Last Day of Internal Medicine
About this video
On a medical student’s last day on internal medicine, everything goes impossibly well: the presentation earns extravagant praise, consults are located and chased down creatively, discharges are arranged to varied destinations including home, and notes are finished hours early. Flanary satirizes internal medicine by making the attending bewildered that rounds, discharge planning, and documentation no longer consume the entire day. The joke is that efficient completion feels less normal than endless work.
Key takeaways
- Flanary portrays an ideal last day as one where consults, notes, and discharge planning are already done
- The sketch satirizes internal medicine as normally dominated by discharge coordination
- A student’s efficiency leaves the attending with no familiar work left to do
