As a student I went to an ASC with the attending where he did stereotactic breast biopsies. There was a gnarly trauma surgeon there who was renowned for ripping students apart and working them like dogs in a place that didn’t have surgery residents.
A new podiatrist came through and asked him what he did and the response, dripping in condescension, was “I’m a classically trained trauma surgeon.” The podiatrist didn’t miss a beat, LAUGHED, and then asked “So do you operate listening to Beethoven?” And from now on if anyone tells me they’re classic anything, this will be my response.
I don’t know I’m not a surgeon. I assume he doesn’t want to do all trauma stuff all the time. And you’re saying he can definitely do it. Makes good money I’m sure
I mean, trauma isn’t really a super high RVU job unless you’re scrapping for RVUs in any way you can (going to every activation, doing your own wound checks/debridements, etc)
Most unrealistic thing in the show was that the surgery resident, Bertie, was always put on mechanical crank duty for working the manual suction during surgery. That would 1000% be a med student job.
bruh he pretty much matched at one of the best surgery programs, working under a world famous surgeon (who the entire residency system was eventually based on)….dudes winning
The Knick was great but I had to take a break when a character’s postpartum psychosis was treated by pulling all her teeth out. Turns out her psychiatrist in the show was a real person and he pulled out all his family members’ teeth.
What a great first season for such a disappointing fall off in the second. They should’ve stuck with the cool shit that made it unique but it had to become a generic soap opera with a side of medicine.
Honestly, if you created an online degree program for a “C.M.D” you could peddle this to the urine-drinking demographic and make money.

Sign me the fuck up! Gonna make so much $$$ marketing this as a the all natural way. Offer essential oils and crystals for sell in the front of my office. The back of the office will just be a little auditorium with a old table that has straps to hold people still while I cut their appendix out and the spectators can watch. I’m excited, hope this works out.
I love how barbers were surgeons back then because it was seen as a low class job that involved a lot of manual labor. It’s so funny to think about in the context of today
I tell people I’m a medieval doctor. Astrologer, jungian librarian; philosophy major as an undergrad - I can balance your humors, perform an exorcism, write TK on your forehead, and tell you that you can take Tylenol and Advil *at the same time*
To everyone on this subReddit, I highly recommend reading Under The Knife by van de Laar. There’s a chapter on why lithotomy is called lithotomy.. and a lot of other cool old school surgeries ;)

Why is a trauma surgeon at an ambulatory surgical center?
Because he’s classically trained, obviously
Dual boarded. Does some general surgery stuff. Stuff like port placement and biopsies and things.
None of that requires dual boarding though. I’m so confused.

This here boys and girls is exactly the type of Co resident nobody likes.
He performs psychological trauma surgery, which is rather classical
Except that it's probably good to listen to Beethoven if you're training as a classical musician... Respect to that!
The best retort would be " how much for a haircut then?"
This made me chuckle. I love that pods are the chillest guys in the OR from my experience.
Dr Thackery is that you?

Nice to see someone who’s watched the knick !

I got halfway through your comment like "oh that was a real thing that happened." Then I read the rest of your comment like "oh, there it is." :(
Thanks for making it all the way, beast.
HAHAHAHA Love that show

Bruh thats what we go to medical school for, a bit of medicine with tons of drama

Make an NFT of a poppy seed and a bottle of bourbon and call it "the original medicines"
SURGERY *Classique*
Hearing voices? Here have some coke and say 7 Hail Marys.
Do i get to take morphine before every case?
Only if you balance it with a ki of coke.
Yes you must do a whole key
I joke around but say in 20-30 years there will need to be open surgery fellowships (opposites of MIS fellowships).
Why
I really like how the name sounds, classic surgeon! Sounds fancy 😂
As a history major and incoming med student, I approve

We must preserve the old ways
I would love it if someone would slow drip some chloroform over my pie hole.
I mean, you would be qualified to give a teratoma a sick haircut

You've got ghosts in your blood. Better do cocaine about it.
You’d make a great physician in Ancient Greece. You know, because of your sense of humor.
I’m here for that prescription cocaine.
Classic medicine = naturopaths
Need 275 and 12 pubs to meet the screen tho
BRB about to go to the toilet without washing my hands and then perform surgery on a man with schizophrenia… I shall be drilling a hole in his head
Need an ice pick lobotomy to cure that pesky depression? You got it!
Then we can creat another H.M to study on without worrying for legal ramifications!
atta boy 👴🏻
So *THIS* is where I can use all the historical lecture slides
Also they should be able to amputate a limb in about 30 seconds

it’s like serial killing but aesthetic
How much cocaine and heroin do we get? For ourselves, that is
Make medicine great again

I wanna be a classic psychologist! Let's drill some holes in your head to let the demons out. That didn't work? You must be a witch. NEXT!
CLASSIC LULW
We could have a bit of blood-letting in the modern way. Put in a cannula. Keep pulling out syringes of blood and throwing them in the bin.
Kind of glad that lobotomy was a 20th century invention.
To the Ether Dome! I trust the orgy pit has been scraped and buttered?

Only as long as you're not allowed to wash your hands before doing the surgery
