I can only understand a few words of the video, but that animal is a pig born with a condition known as cyclopia. It means that the eyes failed to separate in utero. This seems to be a very severe case. Most cyclopic babies (human and animal) are stillborn.

The medical establishment prefers the term holoprosencephaly. The video might say that, I didn't watch it. I don't need to - I see babies with both conditions at least a couple of times a year.

Well, most of my medical terminology is pretty well out of date. I'm the only person on earth that still says "occulist".

lol. Our attending in genetics uses a lot of outdated terminology, mostly for laughs.

The classifications of developmental disability? ReTAHded, Wicked ReTAHded, and Way Wicked ReTAHded. Dysmorphic? Nope, "FLK" (for funny-looking kid). Lots of others that are only relevant in the world of clinical genetics.

But he's older than God. What's your excuse?

I'm a fan of The Great Gatsby. There was an advertisement for an oculist that was used as a literary device, and I've said "oculist" ever since reading it.

Is your attending from Boston or thereabouts?

He's from Wisconsin, but went to Harvard.

He's great at playing the doddering old man, but in reality he's a genius geneticist with his name on about six different rare syndromes.

Geneticists are interesting because they're the only people in the world that want syndromes named after them.
