A Colorado man in the hospital for a broken bone revealed the moment he noticed his doctor Googling a tutorial before performing his procedure.

Joshua Bulman, 27, had suffered a bad sprain and a small fracture in his lower leg from a skateboarding incident.

'I was in my hospital bed when I looked over and saw the doctor watching a video on how to wrap an ankle and leg,' Mr Bulman, a church youth pastor said.

He shared the moment on TikTok, garnering over 1.4 million views.

In the video, Mr Bulman can be seen lying on the hospital bed before switching to his front camera. When he zoomed in on the doctor's desk, he found the physician watching a tutorial on how to wrap a leg and ankle.

He then switched the camera back to him, smiled, and said: 'Okay.'

'I just started laughing!' Mr Bulman said.

'It didn’t bother me or make me nervous. We all need refreshers on how to do things in our jobs, so I saw this as normal.'

'If anything, it actually took my mind off of the pain and injury in a good way. I needed a little laugh and I’m thankful for that moment. This doctor was simply doing her job.'

Every year, more than 70,000 skateboarding injuries, like Mr Bulman's, warrant a visit to the emergency room, according to the American Academy of Orthopaedic Surgeons.

Though the doctor may have seemed uncertain, the procedure went well, and Mr Bulman's leg is healing.

I would want my airline pilot to fly from memory and never ever use trainers, checklist or refresh his training. It shows amateurishness.

Get used to it......this is what diversity medical care will be in the future.

[catnipman]

anyone know what colorado ER/hospital/clinic this happened in?

[SamAdams76]

I would feel much better having a doctor studying a procedure before performing it on me as opposed to trying to wing it and then forgetting an important step or two along the way.

For example, I've replaced the belt on my lawn mower from time to time but I still check out the video before doing it again just to make sure the steps are fresh in my mind.

Thanks to Deep State we now have our very own de facto NHS.

Videos like these will eventually have an initial screen indicating "Check patient's voting record here before proceeding".

It depends on the procedure.

One can learn anything you want to by watching You Tube videos.

Fine as long as it's the right vid.

"Uh, Doc? That one's on hysterectomies. I got a splinter in my finger."

Wish I knew how to post the hospital scene from Idiocracy.

Be sure to check out where your doctor went to school. I was just reading about the University of California Santa Clara Medical College. Their goal is to attract as many minorities as possible. That means rejecting as many more qualified candidates as possible. They’ve already stated they have ways to get around the recent Supreme Court ruling.

If they do, considering the thousands of Americans killed by medical mistakes annually, that discrimination may end up saving some lives.

I cam tell you this: After what I’ve seen and witnessed over the last three years, I won’t be going in for another wellcare visit any time soon.

Alternatively, the ER doctor could call in an Ortho doctor who will charge an additional consult and procedure fee, while you wait another 3 hours for Ortho doctor to get to the ER.

Wrapping a distal extremity isn't brain surgery. I'll take the ER doctor with a video review prior to splint application.

[Harmless Teddy Bear]

Yep.

Especially if it is not a proceedure that they do daily.

[ConservativeMind]

I do believe it can be helpful to review whatever you can trust to make sure you don't miss something.

This seems a bit funny to read about, but, honestly, doctors and nurses both need continuing education credits, and Medscape provides real-life test cases for doctors on random maladies, and it's a lot of fun to go through them.

Doctors can't know everything they run into. It's just life, and doctors are human, just like us.

We were always wrong to believe they had perfect knowledge.

I used to do the same thing at work for changing the filter on the drinking fountains. Worked great.
