Tarzan M.D. weighs in on hand washing (and trunk washing).

Oh… and just FYI… If any of my residents ever grab my rear like that while we’re on rounds… Yep, you’re outta here (hand washing or not).

Feel free to use Tarzan MD images in your talks and presentations (as long as you include the attribution to GiggleMed.com). Just right click on the image & choose “Save As…”. And if you like them enough to use them in your talks, well, then why not buy some Tarzan MD gifts:

Is your hospital struggling with throughput? Patients in the hallway in the ER? Residents taking waaaay too long to come to admit patients? Medical attendings being difficult to reach? Or hospitalists fighting admissions?

Well, watch this hilarious Medicine vs ER Star Trek parody video by ZDoggMD. If you understand the jokes in it, you are a step ahead in understanding some of the unspoken truths of hospital throughput:

Before we needed healthcare reform… before Joint Commission (you know, the Good Ole Days)… before the FDA… before insurance companies… there was one physician to lead us through the healthcare jungle – Tarzan, M.D. (and soon to be introduced, Jane DO). In Episode 2, we find him offering smoking cessation advice. Those twigs kinda smell funny, give the patient the munchies, and do wonders for his glaucoma.

Before Joint Commission… before the FDA… before insurance companies… there was one physician to lead us through the healthcare jungle – Tarzan, M.D. Way ahead of his time, Dr. Tarzan’s descriptions of clinical findings were in the patients’ language. His instructions were persuasive. And his patients could eat all of the fat and red meat they wanted. (And in future episodes, when he meets Jane, D.O. we find a healthcare infrastructure in complete harmony – free of egos and politics.)

Love the movie or hate it, Z Dogg MD really captures what life would be like for Napolean Dynamite as a medical doc.

“Can’t you just hold pressure?”

“Pen VK! What do ya think?!”

“And then you realize… you can just admit to Medicine”

Give some love to the Joint Commission, GOSH!

Check out this funny video from ZDoggMD where he analyzes some medical news.

I love Star Wars and I love medical humor. This is a nice combo.

“I sense much stool in you” was hilarious. But while we’re on Star Wars and stool, let me share with you some disturbing news…

I was reviewing the stats on how people end up at GiggleMed.com and I noticed a search term slowly creeping up the ranks… Google “Admiral Ackbar stool” and sho’ nuff you end up at a GiggleMed blog post. What does that say about you if you Google “Admiral Ackbar stool”? (not that there’s anything wrong with that)

But I digress… go to ZDoggMD’s blog to see more medical humor.

Courtesy of NYMC Follies 2011, here is a very well done parody of the movie Inception. This time, of course, involving the bowels.

Intussusception was performed by medical students at New York Medical College. They shot the complete trailer in one day.

It’s clean (well, as clean as intussusception could possibly be). It’s funny. I laughed, I cried, it was better than Cats. Check it out:

Something we all wonder about when it comes to kids’ shows… ZDoggMD looks into some of the psychopathology on Sesame Street. An astute diagnostician, I’d love to see what he’d say about Tele Tubbies. Uh Ooooh.

Anyway check out this funny video from ZDoggMD & then go check out his blog.

OK… Here’s a funny take on pharma marketing with a fake commercial video about a combination drug from “Eli Willy”. Check out the hilarious tag line:

Asplavadin – If you’re not bleeding from somewhere, you should probably take another.

This was sent in by a colleague. Comment here or go to his YouTube Channel and comment there (and tell him to make more videos) :)
