The General Surgeon Goes to Therapy
About this video
The General Surgeon arrives at mandated therapy expecting an award and is confronted with a list of recent workplace incidents, including tormenting anesthesia, inventing an instrument for a nurse to hunt for, and trying to demote a student over trivia. Flanary uses exposure-style exercises to show the surgeon cannot reliably name colleagues like anesthesia and treats that as normal. The session ends with little progress. The sketch satirizes surgical ego and anger in the OR.
Key takeaways
- Flanary portrays the surgeon character as talented but dismissive of other staff
- The sketch jokes that hazing trainees and staff is treated as tradition
- His therapy format exposes how little insight the character has into his behavior
