Strictly For Tha' Homies
My recipe for steaming-hot Hospitalist Parody Rap Consommé:
Basic Ingredients
- 1 instrumental track for Jay-Z rap ditty; cutting edge…back in 1998
- 1 overworked hospital medicine specialist, beaten down and nearly broken (with plenty of marbled fat)
- 1 piece x-treme movie editing software (Final Cut Pro or equivalent. Please see 10000-page attached manual for directions on use)
- about 12 hours worth of freshly squeezed free time
Write, record, mix, master, film, edit, post. Intended to serve millions, but will likely only be consumed by tens. May result in lawsuit and/or murder by Jay-Z, or worse yet, a sound benchpressing by an orthopedic surgeon. Enjoy!

Love it! So true about the orthopedic surgeons. I asked one in PACU the other day how a hip pinning had gone. He said “Fine. It was easy. Now THEY have to keep him alive”. I guess you are the “they” in question
That was awesome.
Love it! I’m in the ED and I love my hospitalists! So true about ortho . . . whenever we have an ortho patient that needs to be admitted its “Admit to the hospitalist and we’ll see them in the morning on consult.”
Zed -- you da man!

Absolutely fabulous.
Glad y’all liked it, it was certainly cathartic (in a non-laxative way) for me!
This is hysterical. As a hospitalist who lives this anthem, I say you go boy!!!
Way to go! This is my hospital life!
As a surgeon, I’d like to say I actually really appreciate the hosptalist’s efforts post-op helping to keep my patients alive. Assuming that my patients actually stay alive. I never really check.
Heh. True dat.
Loved it! Also your other videos which I have now all seen. Awesome guys! I’ll be forwarding your site on to the other family medicine residents here in Calgary to also see.
Awesome! Many thanks, and say hi to the Jamaican Bob Sled team for me. What? That was Calgary 1988?!? Damn I’m old.
It’s not as bad as you think Z…”Cool Runnings,” the heart-warming biopic upon which much of our collective cultural memory of the Jamaican bobsled team is based, was only in 1993.
Thanks Quixote. Ironically, I believe Cool Runnings was the feel-good hit of the summer that year.
OMG! Our Hospitalist team loves the Hospitalist Anthem! It’s soooooo true!! I was so friggin depressed after seeing 25-30 patients/day my last 7 day shift, then I saw this video!! Love it~ Thanks!!
I think I was sent to this website to view this, as a warning of what is to come for our hospitalist group this year…
That was hysterical- I laughed so hard but the truth in it is so painful that I am glad someone has found some humor in it- I am passing it on to all my physician friends who have it easier than us!!!
Thank you!
I loved this video. I am a peds hospitalist, and one of our partners sent this video to the group. I almost died laughing! We go through the exact same thing except our patients are smaller and cuter and smell nicer. Baby poo actually does not stink…….or perhaps I have been doing this too long. And I shop at discount stores and put up with clock-watching residents. Great job ZDoggMD! You should take your show on the road!
Thanks for the feedback, would love to go on the road and need a manager who doesn’t mind baby poo. You in?
This is amazing! Laughed hard
WTF? Fantastic stuff. Should be on Daily Show, Letterman, and even Oprah ! Get an Agent, better yet, let me be your agent.
Sold! Have your people talk to my people. I’m not sure what that means, but it sounded professional to me.
I’m a hospitalist in Portland, OR. Just found out about your website. LOVE it! You’re all fly, dope, gangstas! Spreadin’ the word…
Yo, we hospitalists gots ta keep it real! Your blog is pretty fly too, thanks for the love!
I’m a hospitalist in Georgia. Needed to see this in the ED when I was so covered with admissions I was feeling jealous of my next patient in orange complimented with ankle and wrist “bracelets”. That dude at least gets 3 meals a day and pee breaks…
Your video is a hilarious work of art. Love it!
Yo, I’ve been there…almost makes me wanna call up my parole officer and ask him if I can voluntarily go back to the hoosegow! Certainly would be an improvement over some days on call…
You just described a day in the life of my team…only i’m in Arizona so the specialist bought a plane instead of a yacht LOL
You rock!
What? Someone just sold me some oceanfront property in Arizona! Glad you liked the video!
Damn, med team B was all gathered for a viewing but the VA blocks youtube! You need to find a video host that gets around their nefarious firewall.
Yo, we be on iTunes and Blip.tv too, see if that foils Uncle Sam’s eGoons!
as an Ortho surgeon ..big “smile on my face” heheheh…100% true .. we fix the bone!! that’s all heheh … ;-p
Sooo true! I live it everyday. Thanks for making me laugh about it !!
Just found you guys. Totally awesome. Aside from entertaining doctors, your parodies help us common folk understand some of the issues the medical community deals with on a daily basis. And you always can make your argument so much stronger with humor -- like in your vaccine anthem. Well done.
Wow, I was thinking of going into internal medicine to become a hospitalist. Glad I watched this because it has thoroughly convinced me otherwise.
Folks…I just saved a life today. I kid, I kid, hospital medicine is great! Except for the parts that aren’t.
So funny, so true, why do we do it, haha!
Word. Love your blog BTW!
