Our team was on short call today. The intern and senior resident were raving about ZDoggMD and his videos. This is his parody of Rebecca Black’s song “Friday.”

We watched it during lunch in the cafeteria. I think this version is better.

Internists are hilarious!

Doctor: Go see this patient, she’s going into active labour. I want you to check if she’s dilated or not.
Med Student: Um, okay. I will go check.

Medical student sees patient, checks the patient’s eyes, then reports back.

Med Student: Um…I think they both look pretty dilated.
Doctor: …What do you mean…both?

This made me laugh so I had to share.

As a bird flew overhead, the family practitioner started to shoot but decided not to because he wasn’t absolutely sure it was a duck.

The gynecologist also started to shoot, but lowered his gun when he realized he didn’t know whether it was a male or a female duck.

The surgeon, meanwhile, blew the bird away, turned to the pathologist and said, “Go see if that was a duck.”

I love patients with a sense of humor. Well, I hope my patient was just joking…

Enjoy.

On a side note, I had a lecture today where the lecturer said that he doesn’t believe there is an answer to our healthcare problems. Government’s solution is to try something we aren’t doing and see if it works. He noted that in the UK, there is also a healthcare debate with the National Health Service (NHS) and the British government is inviting American insurance companies to discuss ways to try something different (more like the American system) which will allow people to opt out of NHS coverage. Food for thought…
