About this video

A critical care attending invites questions on rounds by insisting there are no stupid ones, and the trainees unleash a rapid-fire barrage ranging from pronunciation and anatomy puzzles to why everyone stares at urine output and when lunch is coming. Flanary builds the whole sketch from the list, mining the gap between the attending’s promise and the questions trainees actually carry. It is light educational-culture humor aimed at anyone who has survived teaching rounds.

Key takeaways

  • Flanary portrays trainees’ naive questions as the real content of rounds
  • The sketch is a rapid-fire list gag with no policy argument
  • Critical care terminology and rituals are the targets of the humor
