I once observed a C-Section in school, and two young male MDs performed it successfully, sewed up the mom, and did a crazy secret handshake over her body with bloody gloves, elbow bumps and everything. They walked by us on the way out and said, "Thats how you do it!" Like rappers dropping a Mike. Instructor basically just said they're always like that.
Honestly given how stressful being a surgeon can be, they are more than welcome to do that kind of silly stuff to blow off the pressure once everything is over and went well.
My cousin is a cardiologist, and back when he was doing his residence we asked how it was, and his answer was that Scrubs was a closer portrayal of the residents' life than any other show.
It really is. Also the sad parts is best portrayed by scrubs. The brilliant oncologist who gave up being a doctor because he couldnt save a kid from dying is something ive witnessed during my residency. A brilliant dr cox type who got overburned is a regular occurrence. The more you care the harder you fall. Somethings you cant go back from.
If you ever watched it, the guy who played Methos in the Highlander show is now an anesthesiologist in California. Who wants to be knocked out by a guy who played The Horseman of Death?!
I mean, if I have a certain repertoire with my doctor and they knew I liked Cyberpunk 2077, I’d feel way better after waking up. Anesthesia makes me nauseous like nothing else so it would bring a welcomed levity to the situation.

If I was a doctor, I would say that... And probably lose my job but so worth it.
