Ortho Tricks Internal Medicine
About this video
An orthopedic surgeon disguised in glasses and a scrub cap joins internal medicine rounds and tries to describe surgical patients as medicine problems needing admission. Flanary has the team recognize Ortho from his kettlebell, stethoscope, and manner, and reject the handoff attempt. The sketch satirizes consult and admission turf battles, with medicine insisting post-operative diabetes can be handled with an existing order set.
Key takeaways
- Flanary portrays ortho as trying to offload post-operative medical management onto medicine
- Internal medicine sees through the disguise from props and behavior
- The sketch ends with a standard order-set solution rather than an admission
