The best part about residency is that you start and yon don't know anything, but by the time you reach second year you're a almost an expert and by 3rd, 4th year depending on your residency length you're ready to go out there and make a difference. It's amazing! Dr. Climaco and his colleagues are brilliant. Respect!!!
I like the way he explained general surgery. I've never heard it discussed in that manner.
I read the title and thought wow he gets a chance to speak to a General and show his day in the life . A general surgeon resident makes more sense 😅
Thank you so much for your service. I had a hernia and am alive 13 years later thanks to a naval surgeon.
I’m very proud of you Kevin, mom and your entire family clan🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏
So grateful for this video!! May God bless America and Dr. Climaco!
Dr. Climaco, you're a BEAST!!! Thanks so much for this video! Absolutely loved the energy.
What incredible timing. I’ve literally just started looking into military medicine. Great video!
Wow
If you are serious for the most experience and are a badass, shoot to be on an Army SF Team Medic. You’ll have more hands on experience than 90% of domestic ER Doctors.
Hi doc saw u on u tube being a army doctor first let me say thank you for all u do for the sick people and most off all thank you for your service
Just wow! What an intelligent and humble person! Although, I don’t understand the medical terminology he explains things well. Thank you for your service!
That’s so cool.. thank you for your service. That’s definitely not enough gratitude for all that you’ve sacrificed. 🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽
The introduction was epic as well, especially the man saluting Dr. Climaco!
As a Navy Vet that shocked me...until I remember that the Army has different saluting regs. Indoors and uncovered.
Been missing this series! Psyched to see it again
Excellent video, Thank You for making it!!
This is such an awesome Episode.
One of the best videos on this channel
Very informative insight into the Military.
Enjoyed the video, as always!
Hey Doc, thanks for your service
I've always immediately crossed Military medicine off my list without a second thought. This video highlighted the skill and comraderie so well that I lost my footing in that stance and had to go rethink the yeas and nays again.
The "Nays" still have it but I loved the thought exercise!!!😊💪🤗
Tell me about your yes and no’s
Currently deciding myself
BAMC was my old stomping ground (now SAMMC). Army Nurse Corps Retired.
We thank you for your service and commitment
This Soldier better get PAID!!
Awesome. Thanks for your services.
Yess! This is the type of video that I have been waiting for 🎉😊😊
People need to realize that the Army is a massive organization and that the experiences are very different. We're all Soldiers, but the lifestyle that we live is as different as any other community of around 1 million people. Can you go the hardcore, field route? Yes, know a few former SF docs that I'd entrust my life to without a single hesitation. Can you do most of your career in a hospital environment? Yes, know a few who did that as well and I have a world of respect for them. One of my best friends was an Army ICU nurse in Germany. She has very serious PTSD because her unit dealt with a lot of the guys that got seriously injured in Iraq/Afghanistan. Hard enough seeing your buddies get hit in sector, couldn't imagine every day going in to see guys that were fighting for their lives with life-altering injuries.
Right now, I'm a 10 year veteran of combat arms in Nursing school and I keep telling my classmates to look into AMEDD. A lot of people say 'oh no, I don't want to live the Army lifestyle', without realizing that the lifestyle that you lead as a Nurse in AMEDD is dramatically different from what I lived as a grunt in a recon platoon. The things I remember like hazing, fights in the barracks, command maintenance, stupid games from NCO's, living out of vehicles for weeks at a time in the field and combat, etc. just aren't things that AMEDD usually deals with (unless you're one of those hardcore field types). My friend and I have often discussed how funny it is that we were both Army in Germany (based within an hour of each other) and how our experiences were so dramatically different even though we were there at the same time. Great video that highlights what a day in the life of an AMEDD doc is like.
This is why I chose to be a 68W, good amount from both worlds. Being in the army meant I wanted to physically and mentally push myself.
Every FOB in Iraq had a TMC, major ones had surgical teams running surgeries all the time, plus the CSH in Baghdad.
But being at landstuhl is a way different beast than being at Darnell on ft hood for instance. Landstuhl just happens to be the closest major hospital to where we were fighting.
this is the best video ever - very interested in military careers in healthcare.
SAMMC! my old stomping grounds. what a state of the art facility.
Super dope to watch thanks for sharing.
hes scary in a good way . he has a alot of responsibility and handles it good
Exceptional video.
Absolutely loved every minute of it.
I got 2 appendectomies from military general surgeons. Surgeon number one nicked the large intestine. Three days later, as I was going septic, surgeon number two took one look at me in ER, and immediately started cutting and suctioning. After about 3 min my wife says ‘you know he hasn’t had anything for pain, right?’ Gets fuzzy after that. Have a great scar.
Woah that's terrible!
That was awesome!!!!
great video quality and awesome content!
This is awesome I'm a nurse working at the same place you do. Hope to run into you one day!
Awesome work .
You should do this kind of daily life for every surgery specialty man. Awesome.
Amazing, may God bless you all.
A Doctors doctor and top of the class. You made the skills very easy doc. 😮👏🏼
Im not going into medicine anymore sadly, but I definitely was going military medicine route when I was there
Make more of these please
So excited! Especially because this is the path I’m pursuing as a junior undergrad currently 🫡
woah! i never knew that this was a thing im so looking more into it!
Pls Dr Kevin jubbal do a day in the life of a hip and joint replacement, I have been watching your videos but my first comment please🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾
The more videos like these I watch the more I want to learn
What an important fella
A lot more enjoyable than other episodes
Now I'm in my first year and I hope to be like you but in ksa army 🇸🇦
this guy is a genuis
Hello, Can you please make a video about a day in the life of a Neurosurgeon, aside from that your videos are informative and i love that, Thanks
Hello, he is a general surgeon not neurosurgeon. Those are two different specialties.
where's your cover outside Capt? great attention to detail....surely somebody is going to get a great VA rating from your care.
This is an interesting one
This is awesome. Thanks
Awesome video! You should do an Air Force flight surgeon and an Army or Air Force emergency physician!
I think you can find a flight surgeon on a podcast or on another CZcams channel.
What a handsome and charismatic general surgeon ❤️
but girls dont like surgeon like this tho
@Sugar-hr9il they don't like them? But I bet they like the money that comes with it ❤
@@LyslScentedLife well they re paid military officer salary which is about 60-80k w/ benefits
I don't think that is correct. At least, I hope not.
Liked. Subscribed. 😊
First thing I noticed is how nice this hospital is hahahah
Sir i am an Indian mbbs graduate. Preparing for entrance exam to get in trauma surgery mch in Aiims... Sir you are living the life that i dreamt from my med school 😌
When he said the con is we don’t get paid enough, however where their mind is as far as caring in this space is worth a billion bucks.
It’ll cool to see a day in the life of doctor with no borders, is like. It’ll be interesting.
Please tell me they are paying to more than Capt’s pay. Great video teammate!
Class Act all the way
Omg I would want you and Dr. Perry to operate on me if ever needed! You both are amazing people!!! How much neurosurgery do you do (spinal fusion and the like)?
He is a General Surgeon not a Neurosurgeon. Two different specialties.
Doctor and soldier 😮
General Surgeon is called in German language as "Algemein Arzt". On other words "Common Physician" who also operate minor surgeries of every kind but against this there are "Surgeon general" and "Doctrine Surgeon General" and in that the "Surgeon general" is the chief of Medical core and has qualified comprehensive knowledge of every department of healthcare and Surgery but against this "Doctrine Surgeon General" is the actual intellectual Doctrine person of whole health care system all over the universe and is also master of Future synchronized Healthcare system and medical care and Surgeries and at the moment only one Pakistani Doctor is "Doctrine Surgeon General" whose name is "Dr. Raja Haroon Latif".
excellent
United States Military is the ultimate machine. I am proud to be an American.
Can you start from zero to hero. No experience or anything and become a surgeon in the military?
Just curious: acting in your capacity as a general surgeon, can you if needed in exceptional circumstances "pull rank" on a more senior officer if they are proving to be a 'difficult patient'? I can't think of a real example, but do you have an escalation process to get around the military rank system when it comes down to a medical case process?
Great question. The only situation I can think of to answer this is in the TV Series, Star Trek The Next Generation. In that series Dr. Crusher was the only commissioned officer who could give orders to the captain despite her lower rank
as a commander.
The Doctor is still in charge...Military Rank is removed when you pass into the Hospital. Other than being treated as a VIP, as you would in a regular hospital. Remember the Comander of the hospital is also, usually, a General themselves.
@@dzikijohnny Thank you. It was more of a curious question but there must have been some military operating principle of order where medical needs have to take priority.
Rank doesn’t matter anymore when you are a patient. Of course, if your high ranking, you would be closed monitored.
Because no matter how high ranking you are, you always have a supervisor in the military. The easiest way for junior ranking doctors to do is call that higher ranking officer and explain the treatment plan. Or have your hospital higher ranking officer to intervene
Doctors have authority - but patients also have the right to refuse consent
"Yes Sir you don't want the life saving surgery, bye"
"A general surgeon is a doctor's doctor". ...Typical general surgeon answer.
I was about to coment the same thing 😂
Doctors doctor??? He is so mistaken . He thinks he is superior to other doctors .. he is living in a fools paradise
I think the key word here is ARMY general surgeon
A doctor’s doctor wouldn’t consult me for management of hyperglycemia.
@@chrispicking9215or antibiotics/ ID consult
Am always skeptical to follow this path
Doctor, does West Point offer medical training?
Great video 👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍)
Thank you 👍
So good at being a doctor he became a doctor's doctor ow and also a Army captain Dr lol but seriously who are his clients are they ex military and do they have to pay extremely high prices for treatment?
12:11 i HAD A STROKE WATCHING HER HOLD HER PEN LIKE THAT!!
Please don’t forget to do anesthesiologist next!
Seems more laid back than a typical ER type hospital
❤
who are those staff giving patients report to you doc?
This is something i've always wanted to know, military doctors work in civvie hospitals?
yes they can. sometimes the military hospitals have agreements with nearby hospitals so its a win win for all side. mil docs get more experience, civvie hospitals get more docs
Can you pleasaseee do a so I want to be or why I didn’t on vascular surgery
Defintely permcaths
❤❤
What military hospital you work for?
Quick question typically for Foley during bladder trouble when the Foley is interested in a Male is the patient asleep, Awake or awake but with Numbing and does it hurt?
Awake no numbing. Or can be done asleep if having surgery. Pretty simple procedure
@@Saywhat12345 Can you be asked to be put to sleep? And does it hurt when they take it out
@@carlogarcia209- short answer is no to being put to sleep solely for Foley placement. It can be anywhere from didn’t feel a thing to ouch that hurt going in. Sterile technique is important.
I think anyone who ever had a bleeding ulcer sat up and paid attention when they heard haemoglobin of 3.6
Thought maybe ur was gonna sho some front line type stuff
Can you do ophthalmology day in the life?!
Possibly!
👍
@12:45ish lmao something tells me this poor surgeon got, or still gets a ton of random calls to his number by trolls online who simply just read his lips for the last 4 digits of his phone number.(which isn't that difficult with such high quality video lmao)
Sir. Through. Maddam there is good coverage of life need of gained the part of life in India so today due to ganerirly part of hihghricy paitejxz of gayireew ninonerial part of life of these things in india
Hi
why was the radiologist not introduced?
He said that general surgeos perform cardio-throacic surgery??!
During residency they’re required to do a certain amount of cardio thoracic cases before graduating but beyond residency I don’t think they’re operating in that area very much if at all because those cases go to the specialized CT Surgeons
That's because he's full of himself and full of sh¡t!
They participate in cases that are being performed primarily by CT surgery specialists
🇺🇸👍🙂
is he,half Filipino?
The only thing I noticed was the Captain drinking coffee and walking at the same time….
👍🇺🇸
Cameraman would you please film the screen so we actually see the ultrasound image
for the chest tube, I would hope and pray they weren't alert for it and if they are, how many times do you have to ''duck'' from them trying to punch your lights out?
