What’s better than dancing condoms singing about safer sex? Dancing condoms singing about safer sex with a Bhangra Bollywood theme! :
Hats off to the Nrityanjali Academy who created this video to educate Indians about safer sex, birth control, and preventing the spread of HIV and AIDS in both men and women. (via Best Week Ever )
Margaret Cho has this great bit about her experience with hematuria, and finally it is somewhat relevant enough to post! (I have no idea who she saw that employs a “vagina washer,” but maybe that’s how it works in the private OB-Gyn world. Who knows.)
A bunch of people beat me to it– a ton of knot tying workshops exist on YouTube if you need a refresher on the one-handed, two-handed, or instrument ties. (Clinical students, depending on your attending and rotation, they may not want you to do one-handed ties at first, wanting you to master the instrument and two-handed ties when you start out!)
I’ve heard arguments about creationism and intelligent design before, but the Creationists really shouldn’t have this guy arguing for them (unless he’s secretly trying to take down Creationism from within–if so, nice work!). Laughable video:
Flu vaccine maker Novartis has just launched a YouTube contest to make a video about flu prevention . While flu really only kills the young, the old, and the immunocompromised, it sure creates a lot of morbidity. (Unfortunately, most people think influenza is just a really bad cold. No no, it is much, much worse.)
YouTube medical grossness:
Eco-friendly medicine is finding its way into selected practice: maggots can clean out an infected wound (after all, they’re competing with bacteria for food):
and leeches help optimize blood flow for amputations via their blood-thinning saliva:
Also, a small study noted giving patients with Crohn’s disease pig whipworms improved their disease compared with placebo.
Supposedly animated by the South Park guys (but not crude or rude or offensive): “LIfe–it was a musical thing, and you were supposed to sing or dance while the the music was being played.” Good to remember this, especially as you’re deep in medical school, residency, fellowship… Great, short video.

Grahamazon Theatre Presents! (Don’t worry, I’m equally offensive to all specialties.) If you’re viewing this through a feed reader or email, you’ll need to visit the site to see.
(I’ve opened up comments due to several requests.)
Knock-off of Dora the Explorer. Too funny.
