*Have a request for new video? Lemme know! * đđ
Idk if u are down for these kind of videos but can u like walk us through a day in the trauma and some of the interesting cases u have seen ofc with patient confidentiality. I aspire to be a trauma surgeon and u inspire me a lot so it would be interesting to hear more about trauma from you. âșïžâșïž
@@yousifalasad1308 thanks so much for the kind words! This sounds like great idea - will think of some creative ways to make it a video
Questions I have for possible video request: how did you study for your exams to be a surgeon ? Either course exams or board! What were your study habits and how did you develop them? As a full time grad studentâŠIâm always looking for different perspectives on productivity and studying:)
React to this new Dr. G video soo funny. czcams.com/video/JaQGOaqc4Rw/video.html
In response to your request at the end of the video: Yes, I would like to see a video you haven't recorded, yet. Now, get out your handheld time machine - STAT!!
My family gaslit me most of my life into believing that I want to be a doctor. I realised right before uni admittance exams that I don't have the calling. I couldn't not go to exams, because my family would murder me, so I failed on purpose. I'm glad I did. We need a lot less of doctors who are only there to do their time, get their money and go, and more of those who actually want to help
Î hope you found a job that makes you happy
I'm so sorry that happened to you. I was told by my father that he'd never be proud of me as a nurse, that I should've been a doctor. It wasn't a good feeling. But it's been 20 years, and I'm still at it
This is way more common than most people think. Pressure from families who decided you should be a doctor. My RN sister worked in PACU then anesthesia then got to know a number of doctors whose families pressured or threatened them into med school. One in particular wanted to study music. Sad. Glad you got out of it.
You are literally the only surgeon I've seen react to Dr. Glaucomflecken that actually has a sense of humor. Glad to see the culture is slowly shifting!
*I love the way Dr. David laughs right before explaining something.* There are a lot of us not in the medical field that watch Dr. Glaucomflecken, and it's fun to listen to your "behind the scenes" so to speak explaining.
So true! It's quite nice to see the real surgeon laugh and show his sense of humour with Dr G (gotta luv Dr G!)
So kind of you - thank you!
@@DavidHindin I bet you have alot of followers of your laugh! Kind regards from Gold Coast Australia
You guys are miracle workers! The two Pediatric Cardiothoracic Surgeons who repaired my 6 week old sonâs VSD, then an ECMO connection at 4 months due to pneumonia, saved his life. Thank you to all surgeons.
You are so kind. Miracles like what you are describing are thanks to entire teams, not just the surgeons! I'm glad to hear about your son's VSD and life-saving experience with ECMO. Grateful to have you part of my little youtube community here :)
And the poor Anesthetist who made your son pass through this surgery maintaining his life through all that .. also surgeons don't know what is ECMO hehehehe
@@mohammadnoufal4723 Cardiothoracic Surgeons doâŠ
My son was born with a VSD and they told me it closed on its own by age 2 I wonder about that every time I see another parent talking about how their VSD child needed surgery. Heâs 14 now but still..
@@mohammadnoufal4723 Anesthesia isn't the only other specialty in there either. A surgery will not run without all parts of the team. All the way down to the assistants running back & forth to make sure all the supplies are there.
I've known surgeons that literally hated not having an operation to do. They would stop vacation overseas just to come back and help wih some extremely hard surgery. Of course they were masters of their craft. One of them had weeks with more than 20 surgeries done for more than 10 years. With no breaks. They loved it. Me? I think it is insane. Defintely a calling.
As a Blood Bank scientist who just dealt with a surgeon who couldn't manage EBL to the point of causing coagulopathy by way to too many packed red blood cells without plasma products, that hit home. Haemotologist was piiiiiiised when I called him.
Distressing and disgusting.
Iâm a CRNA, and yep there still are surgeons who blame everything on âanesthesiaâ and many who, even though I have been at this particular hospital more than 20 years, still call me and my colleagues â anesthesiaâ or âhey anesthesiaâ rather than our names. I made a name tag at one point âAnna Thesiaâ đ
And residents are definitely not the only ones who have secret restrooms!
Anna thesia ahahha omg thatâs so gold, but also, very sorry this so your situation -.- you are amazing at what you do
@@praderwilli4313 I beg your pardon? I donât see anything in my answer that âmakes everythingâ about nurses. Since I spend my day in the OR administering anesthesia, I can truly appreciate the joke. Why do you feel the need to be rude?
@@praderwilli4313 never said I was. And I believe his pieces are for everyone! Why be so mean-spirited? Itâs all in fun, remember?
@@vwynnr I don't know what there issue is
@@praderwilli4313 You must be very unfamiliar with the OR, it's perfectly applicable with a CRNA, AA or Anesthesiologist.
Overheard in the lift between 2 surgical residentsâŠ
A: âYou know the problem with every-other-day calls? You miss out on half the cases.â
B: âYah! I canât believe I missed out on that last trauma case. Heard it was rad.â
I have such respect for surgeons, especially my orthopedic surgeons. They visit all their patients and then also balance multiple surgeries and multiple locations and hospitals. My hip/knee surgeon (who does everything but spine) also goes to two other towns every week here in Alaska. I respect all surgeons immensely.
As an Anesthesiology resident, I really appreciate your videos and these reactions. You value what we do and, by the looks of it, see us as equal (same with other specialties). Too many others on CZcams and that I work with donât - which is a shame.
I had 3 surgeries last year, and frankly, none of it could happen if I didn't trust my anesthesiologist to keep my alive, asleep, and out of pain. The notion that you could be less important than the surgeon is absurd. Much love for keeping surgery from being medieval torture. đ
Speaking as a patient (albeit one with lots of clinical exposure/related experience), I think anesthesiology is self-evidently NOT equal with other specialties ... It's clearly a lot more nuanced than many, has far higher stakes than most, and the body of knowledge involved is inherently one of the fastest-evolving! I strive to be a fun laid-back patient, and the one clinician I've ever had who I distinctly remember being unable to make laugh (barely got a brief half-smirk) was my anesthesiologist I met right before a surgery -- which is quite fine as far as I'm concerned, and was even downright reassuring, because if there's any medical role that's ideally filled by someone so intensely professional that they almost err on the side of slight uptightness, it's frickin' ANESTHESIA. I would certainly HOPE they'd tend to be the most laser-focused and stonily unrustleable people in any clinical setting. They're doing what seems to me to be -- if not statistically, then at least _artistically_ -- the most delicate, complicated, dangerous work in medicine.
It's blown my mind to find out through medtube-culture that anesthesiologists are so underrated, and even catch flak. That's just legitimately one of the most bonkers things I've EVER learned. Seems to me to be a prime example of the weird human propensity to cope with insecurity-in-the-face-of-greatness by skewing our perception to minimize the greatness, instead of taking it as inspiration about human potential and finding security in maximizing our own competencies.
I'll never be an anesthesiologist (I'll be going right back to the streets I live on now to serve my unhoused peers, so probably going to do rural residency thanks to Dr. Glaucomflecken causing me to realize it suits me so well lol -- populations who tend to have access to surgeries ain't underserved enough for me! đ ) but I'll always admire and respect the hell out of the field. Props to you and everyone in it. May your surgeon colleagues always learn and use your actual names. đ
I'm a physical therapy students and nurses think lower of us even though we are actually first contact practitoners and study medicine (at least in my country).
Itâs nice to hear that the old mentality is dying out bc I want to go into surgery but I cannot not sleep.
I think it's important, regardless of what you do in life, to be able to say to yourself: "There are many people in the world who can do this as well as I do but no one who can do it better." If not, work harder and improve. It may take a lifetime.
Don't get too optimistic. Cases still take long, the buck still stops with you, anyone you've ever operated on is your patient for life if there is a recurrence or whatever problem you fixed comes back (unless you want to work in a place where you just punch a clock), hospital admin breathes down your neck for increasing your RVU if you don't book enough cases. It's never going to be a 40h / week job.
It's such a terrible idea for a SURGEON to do SURGERY on little to no sleep. The consequences can be much worse than for other doctors. Probably the other important specialty that shouldn't be done on no sleep is Emergency care, and that's again another big one that is infamous for terrible hours causing insufficient rest and burnout.
â@@RainAngel111 There's "idea" and then there's reality. There's elective surgery but then there's emergency surgery. The latter is "emergency" for a reason. Where a big hospital employs medical and surgical staff, they would have to designate a surgeon(s) for night call. To be well-rested he would have to sleep during the day (no $$ for the hospital) and be available during the night. If there is a major procedure, the hospital makes $$. If not, no $$. IF there is more than one emergency (common), a second or third surgeon will have to be called in (awakened from sleep and expected to be fully alert). That's really not good either. Everyone is aware of all this and have been for generations. It's one of the reasons that it's important to go to big teaching hospitals if possible. Then there are usually both an operating surgeon and an assistant. He/she is a surgical resident...2 brains and 4 eyes/hands working for the patient.
aww hun if sleep is what you want there's only non-rural family medicine and pathology as the two that doesn't do on-call that I can think of. Every other specialty does on call unfortunately - a night's sleep and a full weekend are gold in every other specialty you end up in.
Though shift work may be the other compromise - ED and Radiology you don't really bring too much work home (unless your ED is run like my hospital where the senior reg runs the night shift and calls the consultant for bad things).
Anyways! I'm looking at 3 days of 24/7 on call and I'm an internist. So take from that what you will.
Once upon a time, I was the hospice nurse for the mother of The Chief of Surgery at a large Trauma 1 medical center, affiliated with a medical school. He was a nice man (to me), and I asked him some questions about the training of a surgical nurse. He said, "Do you like to be yelled at?" I asked, "You yell at your nurses?" He replied, "It's part of the job." And, in private life, he was really a gentle man. I stuck with Hospice. Definitely my calling. Yelling at your team members? So counter productive.
I love everything medically related videos, especially Dr. Gâs. Iâm a nurse working night shift in the ICU. Although I can relate to this type of video content, your reactions/explanation makes the experience more enriching. You provide the âAhhh, I seeâ moments. So thank you very much. Iâm now a happy subscriber. đ
Dude, I love watching all these doctors reactions to these videos. Most of them downplay it but you could see it in their eyes. Yep thatâs true. Yep, thatâs true. Yep that happens. đđđ
The secret bathroom is for residents to go cry in undisturbed.
Not a doctor or nurse but have worked for a couple and helped assist in surgery. His face alone cracks me up. Even if one had never been there he helps bring the frustrations to life .
I was a general surgeons nurse during my career. It was so cool. It was some of the best times of my life.
I am an IT guy, and I have to say, I actually do feel my job is a calling, as do quite a few people in computing related industries. I don't work doing something trivial, either - the work I do is deep in the subway and sewage network under my city, working on rail, traffic, and sewage control computers that are absolutely key to the smooth functioning of the city. It's an important job, though dark, dangerous, hard, and underpaid, and I feel it's extremely rewarding. I am glad to hear other people feel that calling to their job as well, even in a field as viciously overworked as medicine.
Itâs pretty depressing it sounds like almost every job is underpaid these days, especially ones that are as necessary as yours. Imagine everything just⊠shuts down because you found a better job
@@DeathnoteBB I feel trapped because no one's trained or willing to take my place. Not for such piss poor pay. It's a good thing I don't have a problem with my job, because I feel obligated to stay at my post. The city would literally grind to a halt without the dwindling amount of skilled IT people in my department. We're being increasingly replaced by greenhorns who don't know enough about the systems to operate autonomously.
@@redengineer4380 I feel like thatâs happening in a lot of workplaces these days, especially places on the same level of importance (if not more), oddly.
Have you ever tried to unionize or ask for better pay? Iâm curious what they think will happen if the people who know how to keep a _city_ running just⊠quit due to unfair wages. Like Iâm sure bosses like that would threaten to fire someone, but how do they threaten that when your job is THAT necessary?
I gotta go for now but now Iâm invested đ
@@DeathnoteBB Unfortunately I work in a conservative hellhole, unionization would be a real hard sell (though, it'd be a dream come true for me). Unfortunately, and I hate to say this, the only thing that'll really change things is an emergency. Something important is going to break, and they won't have the skilled personnel on hand to fix it before it causes major disruptions. It'll force them to realize that their current hiring practices are fucking stupid, and they should be paying people more so we can do our jobs without being completely fucked by a lack of experience.
@@redengineer4380 I can bet⊠I can see how it feels impossible to quit because itâs not just a crappy company on the line. I hope shit gets better soon, somehow
I love surgeons. They saved my husband's life when he had a leaking burst intestine and a triple heart bypass.. Surgeons saved my life when I suffered a compound leg fracture which was h. hemorrhaging. A surgeon also removed my aggressive sinus fungus infestation which was causing my overall health to deteriorate seriously, and my daughter's uterine cancer.. Eye surgery removed my cataracts and enabled me to drive again. My impressions of surgeons, based on far too many medical crises, is that they are the cowboy/athlete/heroes of the medical profession đ. A heartfelt thank you to all surgeons - and a shout out to the skilled anesthesiologists
As a teacher, it's also more a job than a calling. Many of my coworkers show up early, sometimes even 2 hours - and yes, I've done that too. It's an issue though too, because it being a calling, makes it harder to say when it's too much. Good thing I also notice that one can actually openly talk about work pressure (at least where I work), and everyone understands it when you need to work less
Yeah I second this. Teaching is definitely a calling. Most carer jobs are. Mostly becuase people who see it as a calling are the only ones you can get to work such long hours that are industry standard.
Thank you thank you for being a dedicated teacher!!!
As a PACU RN I call bullshit that surgeons don't like to spend all their time in the OR as evidenced by all the add-ons.
Our evidence doesnât add up, does it? đ
Being a surgical tech I hear so much of this in the OR đ
Great videos by the way!
I've actually seen an estimated blood loss of 50cc's on a patient with a complete traumatic right femoral artery transection (3.5" pocket knife to the right groin and a very sharp knife too). Said patient received 10 units PRBC, 2 units of plasma, 2 units of platelets, 9 liters of saline, a liter of Dextran and TXA protocol. I was surprised by that estimate until I learned that only counts for blood loss in the OR and didn't include what spewed all over my ER đ€Ł (no HIPPA violation here - I was the patient!)
LMAO. Guess that's why it's called an estimate & not an educated guess. đđ€Ł
@@ZijnShayatanica no, it was probably very close to that. Didn't take long to get a clamp on it once they got the hot nurse off my crotch đ€Łđ€Ł
Dr Glaucomflecken is so funny đ and hits the nail on the head and you Dr Hindin you are so kind!
He is the best - and thank you so much! That means a lot to me!
Surgeons, hear this now.:
As a patient myself and I am not alone on this, I you have a surgery first thing in the morning and overslept or whatever. "In traffic and be there in 10 minutes"
It's okay. If you need the rest
I am totally fine to wait. You come in when you are ready.
Thank you for this video!!!! I love these kinds of videos!!! And it's also so great to hear that the upcoming generation of surgeons are working to make things more balanced, and that as surgeons get more experienced that they don't have to work 24-hour shifts or work to exhaustion!!!
Glad to hear the culture is changing.
The secret bathroom applies to all medical staff. I'm a paramedic and I have mine!
I had a service elevator key, too. That was utter GOLD!
EVS here. We clean the bathrooms so we know where the secret ones are
I enjoy the videos immensely đ I am a former OR Nurse and Iâm so happy to see these videos.
I used to do medical tech support and it was absolutely astonishing to me how aggressive and downright cruel many doctors could be. A nurse would call me for aid with a computer not working or test results not transfering between devices properly, within a few minutes it would either be fixed or a technition was dispatched to fix it. A dr would call me, provide almost no information whatsoever, then tell me about their horrible years in med school and how much better than me they are, then hang up after threatening to have be fired despite never actually telling me what the reason for their call was.
I truly love that youâre reacting to this other doctor that truly is amazing with his reels
Hey there, loving the reaction videos. Hope you upload more in future. đ Also I think its amazing that you're a surgeon....I always say that Doctors are Angels.....đđ
That is so kind of you, Amber. Thank you!!! And yes - lots more coming. (Released a new non-reaction video last wknd too)âșïžâșïž
I spent 40 years as a scrub tech....he absolutely nails it!
Terrific Doc. Thank you.
LOL, I used to have dreams about my secret bathroom for years after medical school and residency! They got weirder and weirder.
Yes! More reaction videos! Thank you!
I knew it! Estimating blood loss is bloody hard! Next time I have to call in because of a wound, and the triagist demands me to specify exactly how much blood I lost, I'll recognise that they're just recruiting me instead of belittling me for not knowing how much a "saucer of blood" vs a "small teacup" vs a "handful of soaked gauze" per 12.5 minutes is đ
We was spot on! .
Loved this.
This is hilarious đ I just found your channel and I love your videos! Keep making more! :D
hi Empyie! Thanks so much - I'm glad you found my channel! Welcome :)
As a surgical ward clerk, I have to say that I love watching your reaction videos! They bring a lot of smiles and laughter to the other clerks and nurses I work with.
Ah this is great haha thanks for your input, Iâm a bit less scared of surgeons now lol đ loving your vids thank you! â€ïž
Hey Nell! Thanks so much - I'm really glad to hear you're liking them! And definitely no need to be scared of surgeons at all :)
had emergency surgery due to a huge 6 cm deep abcess near my tailbone (mom had washed it with soap...) and had to lay on the side with all these foam pillows and felt sooo nice
Oh goodness I agree that it is a calling or passion. I have been an RN OR circulator for over 20 years. I got to observe a surgery case while doing my nursing clinicals and I knew that the OR life was for me!!! You either hate it or love it. The advice I give to new nurses that come to the OR if you hate it you might as well leave and it gets aggravating you finally get them trained and once they are off buddy call and start taking call solo they up and quit. Being on call is part of working the OR. I love it and I have worked with a lot of great surgeons. Ophthalmologists are my favorite surgeons I could do cataract cases all day everyday. New techs and nurses will comment they seem hateful with patients during cases and I explain to them one wrong move could be detrimental to that patientâs eyesight. I remember one patient that sneezed right in the middle of his surgery and his head came up off the headrest. Talk about đ© your đ but thankfully the surgeon was adjusting the microscope and all was well.
Every pt. is apprehensive when they are rolled into the OR. I used to tell them that all of the people they saw in the room had very specific things to do and that each one of them was there for his/her benefit. Helped a lot.
Secret bathroom. A biblical truth.
A work life balance is a thrice blasted lie in India as a surgeon.
I usually slept 3 hours a night for my 8 week surgical rotation 7 days a week, usually getting yelled at 5 to 6 times a day.
I was so irritable that i used to have to scream into a pillow for 20 minutes evey time i was home.
that sounds truly awful, hope you're better rested now
@@siraksleepmastersiraksleep9814 I'm in internal medicine now. Send help.
3 hours sleep is harmful for you
The pure excitement watching this as a student ;)
So glad you liked it Eve!
Pharm tech in a hospital. I have a secret bathroom. I've worked all shifts for the last 3 months and have never encountered another human upon poops. đ€Ł
Doctors rock, insurance companies suck.
I was lucky that I def had a call to pediatrics. Most of my med student friends still didnât know for sure when rotations were done.
4:00 He described the difference between work and a job. Steve Hughes explained it very well.
Hey there please could you do some surgical myth busting videos. That would be cool to watch! For instance, things that people always think happens, or ask you about during surgery that aren't necessarily true. Thank you for being amazing!
Hi Amber, thanks for the suggestion! I've been thinking about doing some of these - so let's just say it's definitely in the works đ
Nurses have secret bathrooms too...:-D can't tell you where of course but the keys and badges...especially when you're on Code Blue/Orange/Red/Grey teams let you literally GO anywhere you need :-D medicine is so different these days, I'm glad to hear things are changing from how they were.
So yes your reactions are very I formative and makes this doubly emtertaining
Never watched, or wanted to watch a "reaction" video before. Have no interest in someone's reaction to someone else's video HOWEVER this is brilliant, absolutely makes the originals so much more interesting. Thank you, really enjoyable đđđđ
These reaction videos are great! I love your comments explaining what the joke is about, too. It's really cool to find out these little tidbits and what Dr. Glaucomflecken is referring to!
MORE Glaucomflecken React videos!!!!
The music of the anasteasheologist! We had one that constantly plays rock music.
As an OR RN for 22 years I can assure you that EVERYTHING is, indeed, Anesthesiaâs fault đ€Łđ.
Iâm a CRNA. I had a surgeon once suggest it was âanesthesiaâs faultâ when his patient didnât show up for surgery! đ I must have forgotten the keys to the big anesthesia bus that day to pick my patients up on my way in to work đđ
It was when one of mine reached up and punctured her own heart! That added to the excitement of the case but it ended well. One of the few times I had to ask for additional equipment.
The Blood Loss lololololooololol so true
Trauma bro! Thanks for doing these reaction videos.
Thanks so much! Just posted a new (non-reaction) video - would love to know what you think đ
Idk man they are pretty accurate to the surgeons I shadowed and had the misfortune of interacting with.
I asked one to talk to my patient during a consult and he was so rude (and blamed anaesthesia) that he made the patient cry.
A consultant surgical specialist was brought to our 1000 bed hospital to perform a common operation by a new technique which offered the prospect of fewer complications. His informed consent was a pat on the head saying of done this many times and everything will be fine. Well, it wasn't and the pt. was the Attorney General. Needless to say, that surgeon heard a long lecture on what constitutes informed consent. Fool.
I honestly and totally agree with him when said that surgery is not a job, it is a calling. If you are doing surgery or any specialised field for reputation or for money. I doubt the person going far. It is only ones who are willing to sweat, cry, and break down because they know that they can. Passion in medicine overseas exceeds all others
happy I changed my mind from doing surgery to diagnostic and interventional radiology instead!
I'm a coder for interventional radiology and it's so much more interesting than other specialties.
Great move!
I believe thatâs true. Being a doctor is a âcallingâ. Especially a surgeon. Reading Adam Kayâs book really brought that into light.
This was hilarious and informative! And I really like your shirt or sweatshirt :)
As a paramedic, living in constant poverty or being homeless years on end are what drive us out, I was dumb or stubborn enough to stick with it. If I won the lotto, I'd stay on the truck as long as my body could handle. This is my life, it's what I do, who I am. I can't hold down any 9-5 job and this is what I was born for. Money would just eliminate the stress and health issues, then all that's left would be the PTSD. And just PTSD would be a godsend.
Great video đ
EBL ok point! Worked as a clinical educator for medical device that actually measure volume leaving left ventricle in real time. Spent the last 8 years working with Ansthesia. Surgeon always said EBL was around 100 ml. We could very clearly see it was not that amount. This explained a lot of things we used to see post op in the ICU đ

@@DavidHindin the first step! Lol.
I'm 45 and wish I'd had the guts to try to get into med school.
Hey I just discovered your channel *because of* Dr. Glaucomflecken! When you're explaining a tool, procedure, etc. is it possible to add a blurb or small graphic where and when appropriate? (for example trandelenberg vs reverse trandelenberg)
Love this idea- thank you so much! Will need to figure out a catchy way to do this
From what I can tell, successful surgeons tend to rank low on neuroticism and agreeableness, and these are innate qualities that you either have or don't have. A capable surgeon, especially in the trauma field, is like a test pilot who can keep his wits about him when the #2 engine flames out while the leading edge separates from the right wing. On the flip side, these people tend to come across as dismissive and very utilitarian with others. Shallow affect, but they're convinced they know what they're doing.
There is never a good reason to be disagreeable. We're all there to achieve the same goal.
@@wholeNwon Disagreeable doesn't mean to be an asshole. It means having the courage to change course when you think something is going wrong rather than bottling it up inside to avoid causing drama. I want a disagreeable surgeon.
As a LPC I would still want to do counseling even if I were rich... I'd see fewer patients in a week though...
3:10 If we have tachographs to prevent truck drivers from driving whilst tired, surgeons should definitely not be operating on people whilst they're exhausted. Whoever promoted this to be a good thing?
More of these please! I like your explanations.
Thank you so much - that makes me really glad! Definitely - more coming up :)
I'm thinking that surgeons such as Halsted and Cushing set the tone for 154 hour work weeks. How are such people viewed now?
Layman here but this was very interesting while also really funny!
SO kind of you to send the SuperThanks - thanks Jere!!
@@DavidHindin No problem, Doc. Keep up the good work you do!
my favorite is 5 blood soaked towels and you hear... 50cc EBL
And I was all like yeah but did you kill anybody and he's all like no but I chopped up something that was already dead, LMFAO
My surgeon and anaesthetist argued over whoâs meds I was allergic to.
I'm enjoying another episode of space monkies from outer big toe
The CRNA's at my hospital are upset. They got new chairs but they didn't have a magazine rack or cup holder.
Yeah, surgeons still blame anesthesia.
They were both internal medicine doctor đđđ
Reduce but not eliminated levels ect... For cleaning as like bonds with?
I donât want my surgeon to be tired
Surgical nurse here, working in CVOR. I thought I wanted to go into psych, after school, but I wound up in surgery. There is plenty of psych, in surgery, but it's not as fun as a psych ward.
Just remember the difference between mental health patients and mental health staff....which side of the desk you are on.
The sign at the psych. hospital where I spent my rotation read: "The Society of Friends Asylum for the Insane." Beautiful place.
Circa 30 years ago did some gen surg but fear of the pyramid made me switch to Internal Misery, the GS program director, an old school guy was very tough, demanding but fair. if he was pissed and or yelled at you you knew it was for a good reason and what didn't kill you made you stronger. though i finished IM did mainly emergency dept as i like prodecures and being able to fix problems acutely. 24 hour call would have been a piece of cake in those days LOL. i recall one senior resident i had as a pgy1 IM, he hated gen surgeons and used to tell me "all they know how to do is cut" and felt it was his duty to protect our service from them. me, i always thought surgery was cool and enjoyed hearing about their procedures. Dr Glaucoma is dead accurate on stereotypes. LMAO
If you take a 24 hour call, are there limits on OR time? I feel like airplane pilots have more restrictions.
Lmao on the EBL
yeah, never a big enough emphasis on the E with EBL đ
Surgery is extremely exhausting. I can never be one of them. Cardio here.
Can u explain about his internal medicine parents
and why he disowned them.
I don't think there's a specific reason, other than the fact that this silly character in the video is saying he only respects other surgeons
Not a physician, but as I understand it, surgeons despise medicine because it's
way too fiddly and over complicated. They'd rather just hack away at things. If you are in internal medicine, though, you don't worry about what surgeons think because you know they're just jealous and only became surgeons because they don't understand medicine. I howled at this part of the video. And at being an asshole for 20 years so that you can get a teaching award at the end.
Stereotype. Have you ever watched scrubs? I think they kinda "explain" it there. As in internal ones (JD) always wait for the last possible moment to do surgery (trying any kind of medication first) while surgeons (turk) have the "open up once and be done with it" mindset.
It obviously is rarely that easy. (Wanted to say never but the only thing that's 100% certain in medicine is that we all have to die one day.)
That's where you get the stereotype of surgeons thinking internal ones are scared of surgery while internal medicine doctors think surgeons are some kind of obsessive butchers.
It is building on the ego associated with surgeonsâŠ..internal med is beneath them and to have 2 for parents deserves an apology and is justification for disowning them at the age of 12.
Never chart in the emergency department by dr G
Hey Asia! Definitely - it's on my list. That video cracked me up when I saw it!
I have multiple private bathrooms at my v.a. hospital but Im not a worker .
Dr Hindin, I have a question and I mean no disrespect. Are surgeons more likely to be neurodiverse? Or flat out sociopaths? I understand their skills are high end mechanical and not direct patient compassion, but it's been a recurrent theme I've observed. In fact I believe patient contact/compassion could be detrimental to their ability to exercise their mechanical skills.
What does ârank to matchâ mean?
While there is truth to medicine being a calling, ive stopped referring it as such.
I work in EMS, and that attitude has be constantly used by providers to avoid fighting proper pay, and reinforced by greedy companies and cities to justify keeping us at 14/hr and medics at 18/hr. For reference kroger cashiers had recently had their pay raised to 16/hr (which good for them.)) It wasnt until COVID when staffing dropped to the point where i was having to BLS interfacility transfers that should have been ALS just because there were no ALS providers available anywhere for the transport. The sense of "calling" led us to overwork ourselves while being underpaid and the only people who benifited was the CEO who just recently began a process of milking as much money as he could before retirement.
We served 20 hospitals, 6 of which were comprehensive stroke centers, 2 level 1 trauma centers, 3 level 2, 4 comprehensive heart hospitals, 5 stand alone ERs, and 6 L&D speciality centers. On the worst night when i had to transport a brain bleed BLS, we had 4 ambulances to cover all of those hospitals and our only ALS ambulance was 4 hours away.
The job is and does feel like a calling, but treating it like that perpetuates systemic abuse of the providers
You have got to be the nicest trauma surgeon ever! Where were you during my trauma surgery rotation!?
He does seem unusually "chill".
