However, he is wondering why there is no emergency call or even the action of trauma team since this injury he expects will be categorized as a very serious
injury. Therefore, he shouts to the nurses at surgery unit in order to get the detail information.
The medical term used to create sarcastic humor her e is “trauma team”.
This is a term belongs to a multidisciplinary group of healthcare workers who collectively work together on the assessment and treatment of those who are
severely injured. The humor type is sarcasm because Karev yells at the nurses who do not take care of the patient. Thus, the function is social management to
attract attention.
c. Hospital Position
Hospital position is the medical terminology which is related to position and duty in the hospital, such as a nurse, doctor, surgeon, and many more. The
findings from the drama are presented here. Dr. Izzie : You have been treating these people for the last week. How can
you not know their names?
Dr. Karev: Surgery is the only specialty where we do not waste time getting to know the patients.
Theyre slabs of meat, were
butchers.
Datum 4 The datum above contains the conversation between Izzie and Karev
before they start to do their work as interns. Karev is hated by the other interns because of his coldness and annoying character. Here, Izzie tries to remind him
that he should be more care and close to the patients; even their names he does not know as the doctor. However, he answers using a sarcastic humor telling Izzie
about his principle that surgery is just a specialty, so there is no need to know patients as long as they recover. He even adds a sarcastic comment that patients
are just like a slabs of meat and the doctors are the butchers. This dialogue shows that he is cold enough, arrogant, and having no humanity.
The medical term found here as the main remark of the humor is “patient”.
The definition of a patient is a person who receives medical care, or who is taken care by a particular doctor. However, Karev uses a sarcasm that seeing a patient
not as a person here. The function of this humor is social management. There is another example found related to the use of hospital position in creating humor.
Dr. Bailey: OK, Im sorry. I thought I was your resident, not your hostess. I assign, you take
. Is that a problem?
Datum 26 The context of Datum 26 is when Bailey shares the works that interns have
to do, then Cristina gets to accompany Burke in doing an operation while she is not really in a good relationship with him. Thus, Cristina protests to Bailey to give
another job. However, Bailey does not like to be interrupted especially by someone who denies her assignment.
Because Bailey is annoyed when Cristina refuses her assignment, Bailey answers by highlighting that she is Cristina’s resident not her hostess. Bailey tries
to remind Cristina that she is an intern who has to obey the resident by comparing job position between a resident and a hostess. Thus, the hospital position
“resident” appeared here as the medical remark. Resident is a term for the ones who have completed eight years of higher education and also physicians who
enters a residency program are known as resident. The resident position is in
higher rank than an intern who is the residency is just one year at the hospital. This humor belongs to the sarcasm type. Meanwhile, the function is mediation.
Dr. Bailey : Karev, see the chief. Dr. Karev : What for?
Dr. Bailey : Do I look psychic to you? Hes the chief. He asked. You go.
Datum 34 This is another example shown how sharp Bailey is. She informs Karev to
meet the chief at that moment, meanwhile Karev does not know what the meet for so he asks. Bailey hates to be asked more when she gives an order since she also
does not know the reason. Hence, she emphasizes the chief position in this dialogue.
The position in hospital as a “chief” is the highest rank in the hospital unit,
because there is a chief as the head in every unit in the hospital, while the unit meant here is the surgery unit. Therefore, when the chief says something, the
subordinate should do. Bailey does sarcasm by underlining the position of a chief because Karev is asking too much. Then, the function is social management.
