Ortho Rounds
About this video
Orthopedic rounds are run like a workout, with fracture updates rewarded in push-ups, burpees, and kettlebells and finished in minutes. Flanary’s attending teaches trainees to ditch stethoscopes, outsource examinations of anything non-bone, and let internal medicine admit and manage the soft-tissue side of every fracture patient. The sketch satirizes orthopedics’ single-system focus and the hospital’s division of labor, while affectionately noting that medicine teams repay the arrangement by consulting ortho for every vague bone pain.
Key takeaways
- Flanary portrays ortho rounds as extremely brief and exercise-based
- The sketch argues other teams are expected to handle non-bone medicine
- His trainees are taught to avoid stethoscopes and full examinations
- Consults about bone pain are offered as payback for admitting duties
