The anesthesiologist, who goes by Dr. Shreeveera on Twitter and his
YouTube channel, filmed himself supposedly in an active operating room where he had just anesthetized a patient and was preparing for an invasive procedure to remove a gallbladder. He claimed to be defending himself against people claiming he’s not a real doctor, because they disagree with his passion for the “console wars.”
“Console wars” is shorthand for the decades-long argument between gamers about which platform—Xbox, Playstation, Nintendo devices, PC gaming, and so on—is the best.
Shreeveera posted the video to Twitter, writing, “Here I am after inducing anaesthesia, intubating & putting a patient on controlled mechanical ventilation for a Laparoscopic Cholecystectomy case in OR. Slandering my identity, profession coz you Xbots can’t Argue FACTS!” according to
gaming news outlet Dextero. He added, “SAVING LIVES- My Job. CONSOLE WARS- My Hobby.” He was allegedly trying to defend himself from accusations that he wasn’t a real doctor.
