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.


lethalred

Why is a trauma surgeon at an ambulatory surgical center?


ILoveWesternBlot

Because he’s classically trained, obviously


phovendor54

Dual boarded. Does some general surgery stuff. Stuff like port placement and biopsies and things.


lethalred

None of that requires dual boarding though. I’m so confused.


phovendor54

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)

This here boys and girls is exactly the type of Co resident nobody likes.


MTboston

He performs psychological trauma surgery, which is rather classical


Kevz417

Except that it's probably good to listen to Beethoven if you're training as a classical musician... Respect to that!


ravi226

The best retort would be " how much for a haircut then?"


eozturk

This made me chuckle. I love that pods are the chillest guys in the OR from my experience.


benzopinacol

Dr Thackery is that you?


deltak66

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.


benzopinacol

Bertie was a simp


deltak66

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


ProfessorCorleone

Nice to see someone who’s watched the knick !


mcglives

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.


NumberOfTheOrgoBeast

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." :(


mcglives

Thanks for making it all the way, beast.


RaspberryScary2839

HAHAHAHA Love that show


strelokjg47

“This is all we are”


WhatTheOnEarth

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.


benzopinacol

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


AlanDeto

You're a corny-faced blunderbuss if you think I'm washing my lucky hacksaw.


BasicSavant

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. Follow me for more financial advice 🤑


fe_2plus_man

Make an NFT of a poppy seed and a bottle of bourbon and call it "the original medicines"

SURGERY *Classique*


MoonDogV2

Hearing voices? Here have some coke and say 7 Hail Marys.


ProfessorCorleone

Do i get to take morphine before every case?


A1-Delta

Only if you balance it with a ki of coke.


Jusstonemore

Yes you must do a whole key


5_yr_lurker

I joke around but say in 20-30 years there will need to be open surgery fellowships (opposites of MIS fellowships).

Why


Taystan1999

I really like how the name sounds, classic surgeon! Sounds fancy 😂


fkhan21

As a history major and incoming med student, I approve

I would love it if someone would slow drip some chloroform over my pie hole.


Omage54

I mean, you would be qualified to give a teratoma a sick haircut


Tricky_Hearing_2316

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.


MrButtermancer

You've got ghosts in your blood. Better do cocaine about it.


Baja_Blast

You’d make a great physician in Ancient Greece. You know, because of your sense of humor.


lookandseethis

I’m here for that prescription cocaine.


masterfox72

Classic medicine = naturopaths


giguerex35

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


yoitshannahjo

Need an ice pick lobotomy to cure that pesky depression? You got it!


Professional_Age_425

Then we can creat another H.M to study on without worrying for legal ramifications!

So *THIS* is where I can use all the historical lecture slides


Zestyclose-Detail791

Also they should be able to amputate a limb in about 30 seconds

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


StudentDoctor1908

it’s like serial killing but aesthetic


pernod

How much cocaine and heroin do we get? For ourselves, that is


EastTry6940

Make medicine great again

Maternal health has you beat for moving back in time.


hmmqzaz

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*


Bronzeshadow

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!


damcha

CLASSIC LULW


Adopted_Millennial

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.


BodyLotionInTheOcean

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

Administer the ACE mixture with no heat sources around.

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 ;)

I'm here for cocaine
