Solar Eclipse Emergency
About this video
The ophthalmologist calls an emergency faculty meeting to warn that patients who viewed a solar eclipse unprotected will soon flood the hospital with retinal injuries. The other specialties treat the warning lightly, preemptively page each other, or arrive having looked at the eclipse themselves. Flanary plays his own specialty as the exasperated voice of eye safety while colleagues embody the carelessness he is warning about, including outsourcing the viewing to a scribe.
Key takeaways
- Flanary uses eclipse eye injury as a faculty-meeting comedy premise
- The sketch mocks specialties for not taking the ophthalmologist’s warning seriously
- Radiology arriving having viewed the eclipse himself is the central reveal
