Introduction: Medicine is stressful. Humor helps. Here are some of the funniest medical videos I've seen. If there is a video you love that's not here, drop it in the comments section.
Disclaimer: These videos are intended only for healthcare professionals with intact senses of humor. They contain some foul language. Watch them at your own risk. Do not watch while driving, eating, or operating heavy machinery.
The Confrontation by ZDogg MD. For those not familiar with him, ZDogg MD is spinning some of the dopest medical parodies around. And he's also opened a primary care clinic in Vegas for all the right reasons. Respect.
Outside Hospital (UPenn). A timeless classic. We can cath you!
S#^T ED attendings say (Stanford-Kaiser). Truly epic. One troponin? Two troponins? A thousand troponins? Sure, just get the PE study first.
The Wrath of Khan, by ZDogg MD. Some admissions just can't be blocked.
Real Doctors of Genius (parody starts one minute 20 seconds into clip). I wrote this parody as a medicine resident. Joking aside, the VA is a terrific hospital that taught us how to provide excellent care without a ton of consults and fancy tests… wait… it's coming back to me now… I think it's called an H&P or something?
Scrubs clip: Surgical Gang. Impossible to do justice to this show, but this is a good clip… all about tribalism.
Call Respiratory STAT! Have you ever been called to evaluate a patient who was placed on noninvasive ventilation for no actual reason?
In the Clinic (Drexel Med). Lots of great med school parodies out there, this is one of the best. Getting flashbacks…
Ortho versus anesthesia: There is a fracture! Another classic.
American College of Chest Physicians (ACCP) Harlem Shake. Reminds me of some codes I've been to. You gotta love the ACCP. Wonder if Cliff Reid would classify this as a Chicken Bomb or an all-out Cluster?
The six-million-dollar man. We can rebuild him! We have the technology! Hmmmmm…. I think we may need a family meeting to determine realistic goals of care.
The Stats Rappers. This is for the hardcore evidence-based medicine folks out there. If you find this funny, you're officially a nerd. Own it.
We're Doctors Today by ZDogg MD. With mad love to healthcare peeps everywhere! Happy holidays!
Next week…Don't worry, will be back with a real post next week. It will be very controversial… You might love it or hate it, but it won't be boring… A bit on the long side (sorry). Stay tuned…
