New Year’s Resolutions
About this video
A faculty meeting reviews last year’s New Year’s resolutions specialty by specialty, and Flanary measures each character against a modest, stereotype-based goal. Pathology is praised for family time, neurosurgery is still learning to smile, orthopedics is celebrated for writing a consult note in complete sentences with help, and psychiatry reports no progress at all. Neurology insists its kindness resolution succeeded while visibly losing patience, closing the sketch on self-deception as the shared faculty trait.
Key takeaways
- Flanary reviews each specialty’s resolutions as a measure of its stereotype
- Ortho’s progress is jokingly measured in complete sentences in consult notes
- Neurology’s kindness resolution collapses under provocation in the sketch
