Omg I love It’s going to hurt:) new episode breaks down
Speaking as a medical laboratory technologist, seeing the label put on the tube that way is beyond triggering! I mean, really!! It's barely stuck on there, it could easily stick to the bag or any other surface and be lost. If that's the case, no label = disposed of in the biohazard bin. Never wrap the label around the tube in a way that the barcode is not able to be scanned. That's the whole point of the printed label, to minimize errors during specimen processing. Lab has to work quickly to get all tests out in a timely fashion (turnaround time) and any slowdown in that process is extremely irritating when it takes two seconds to apply a label correctly and will take the lab 30 seconds to one minute to correct an improperly placed label. Start multiplying incorrectly placed labels and you can see how much time is wasted having to make these corrections.
Trust me, this gets old fast.
This guys a rat man.

The hardest bit of Shruti at the end (for us) was that as a viewer you could see her suceeding, growing and being a more confident doctor. The shame was she didnt see that.
It's hard to see a big picture when one's in a grind.
I feel that she did see that but but realised no matter how good you are as a dr it doesn’t get easier
Someone in another comment section rightly made a good point about Shruti's behaviour during this and the episode before. Her apartment was cleared out, she had taken 2 weeks off out of the blue but wasn't going to see her parents, etc. The tragedy of her supposed leap in competency is that some of that is likely associated with the sense of extreme calm that many experience once they have committed in their mind to take their own lives. You often hear "there were no signs" or "nobody around her knew", but if those working in the NHS were able to exist in an environment where they weren't only just trying to stay afloat themselves, then that gives people the opportunity to identify when their colleagues are seriously struggling, and reach out to them. Its just one huge cycle which cannot continue. I'm not a medical doctor but I did suffer from burnout during the years that I pursued my doctoral degree in neuroscience, and I still deal with the effects of it almost 3 years later. It is so so serious.
Burnout can take years to heal from. I was diagnosed 3 years ago with it and feel I’m only just starting to see the light, but it’s taken therapy and lots of rest. Hope you’re doing ok :)
Thanks @@Kazamataz11, doing the same as you - lots of therapy and trying to leave behind my workaholic tendencies. Hope you're recovery continues towards the light.
I think the thing that hurt the most about Shruti’s fate was watching this with a family member who worked for the nhs for many years. She twigged very early on. “She’s burned out. She’s going to kill herself. And doctors know how to make it stick.”
It really brought home the reality of the situation, especially that she’d actually lost colleagues like this.
“I’m sorry. I really did try.” Seriously emotional words.
There is a (relatively minor) real-world positive from what I can see in your comment. The actor playing Shruti portrayed her character in a way that an experienced person was able to tell what will happen to her instantly. Kudos to Ambika Mod.
The words “I’m so sorry. I really did try” may have to go down as the most heartbreaking 2 lines in TV history.
Shruti’s passing effected me. I’ve not felt such grief for a fictional character since Charlie in Supernatural.
What a stunning performance by Ambika Mod.
I don’t really care for award shows but she (and indeed Ben Whishaw) deserve every accolade they get.
Thanks for another great review dude.
(Looking handsome as ever BTW!)
Look after yourself.

I totally agree, and I think what makes the line even more chilling is the fact that only Adam directly addresses the audience throughout the whole show. So when I was sitting there watching it, and Shruti talked directly to me, I was initially so taken aback, and then heartbroken, because the line felt so final.
Totally agree. I've never felt such grief for a character in my life 💔 I sobbed out loud when it happened 💔
oh god Charlie from Supernatural
@@KebabEater gets me every time.

I assumed she would just quit... i did not expect that at all. I had the thought for a moment but thought no way im being stupid
Hi, ST1/SHO trainee Dr in O+G here (same grade as Shruti in the show).
That line of "I'm sorry. I really did try" really goes for the jugular - it encapsulates so much of the junior doctor experience. We all try, we really do - and often we harm ourselves in doing so.
I'm only 3 years out of medical school, and I already have friends and colleagues who have passed from suicide, and goodness knows they all tried too.
I'm not even 30 but have been treated for work-related PTSD (covid related, long story - much of my ward [in a tertiary respiratory center] was treated due to the high death rate in the 1st wave.), and attended funerals of friends who died from suicide.
Someone made a good point to me once, if you got someone outside healthcare and dropped them into our shifts and made them experience the spectrum of human pain and suffering that we do on the daily, they'd be traumatized, so how are NHS staff different? In truth we're not, we just turn to drugs, alcohol or suicide at igher rates than the general population, because surly we didn't try hard enough?
It's why the constant focus on increasing staff 'resilience' has almost become triggering for me. We are resilient, we made it through medical school, foundation training, etc; it's not us, the system is broken - and it's killing us, no matter how hard we try, it's never going to be enough.
Thanks for taking the time to write this and for all your efforts. With friends in various branches of medicine this rings true. Just brutal - so thank you.
Thank you for what you do and will do, you got this, i’m so proud of you :)
This show is so important right now. With doctors in the NHS being consistently burnt out and underpaid, we need the public to see just how much needs to change. I've still got a year of med school left, but the closer I get to practicing, the more I see that very few doctors are truly happy with their job on a day-to-day basis. Big changes are long overdue. Thank you for covering this fantastic show so well.
I had already had Shruti’s suicide spoiled for me but watching this episode still made me cry - I was so proud of her bossing her way through her on call and looking at how far she’d come. It was heartbreaking when even on her best day, it still wasn’t enough for her to see the light at the end of the tunnel. That being said, I think this was the best episode in terms of being the most realistic.
This series is not watchable a second time purely for the heartache that Shrutis death causes. I’ve had a colleague in the NHS (a cardiologist no less) commit suicide and it is exactly like it is shown. They often have decided and are at peace with their decision. Patients demands and behaviours do not help the situation and those who shout at healthcare professionals should be ashamed of themselves.
I was taken to a hospital by ambulance after a car accident and dumped in the waiting room. I didn’t get a head CT for 8 hours, and sat near a guy who had had a stroke in the ER and was also abandoned in the waiting room for just as long.
I’ll yell as much as I want thank you very much.
@@CherryFlavoredFox0180 that won't help the situation
@@CherryFlavoredFox0180 How is being a Curiously Uninterested eNtitled paTient working out for you?
@@shivanraj007 I know it won't but the problem aren't the patients or the doctors is the system.
@@shivanraj007 perhaps not. The malpractice suits when people start dying in the waiting room might.
Honestly they’re lucky all anyone did was yell.
When the jack ass nurse came out and said “If you’re not happy with your service here, you are welcome to leave,” I thought the full room of ill and injured people were going to start a riot.
I'm so glad you covered this series, and this episode especially. You covered everything amazingly, and was as understanding as ever even at the suicide scenes. What an amazing storyline we've seen, I hope it gets another series based on the first one being so great.
I read the book a few years ago but as NHS nurse chose not to watch the series as I felt it would be detrimental to my mental health. Thanks for covering the series it is important that the general public see us a humans, with feelings, struggles and our own things to deal with too not just impervious to everything that is thrown at us.
I've only been watching this show through your videos and Shruti's suicide was still incredibly impactful.
Thank you for all your information and insight into the NHS and the medical field as a whole.
I was told that so many times. ‘I pay your wages’. Or the other one ‘ I know my rights’. Not in a medical context but still a professional one. This look back is so professionally succinct. Thank you.
Very interesting. When I worked in the NHS 50 years ago you never saw a consultant after 5pm or at weekends and A+E was mostly run by junior doctors so it’s good to see that some things have improved.
Wow… you put it so well that this felt like a punch in the gut Dr Ed. 💔
Being Asian, I’m glad there wasn’t pressure to become a doctor in my family and I don’t know about Shruti’s experience, but it was just heartbreaking to see her decide that suicide was her only option out. 😓
I'm a med student and i can relate to Dr shruti. When i watched this show and especially ths end of this episode really struck with me. Honestly i dont know how i'm going to cope with the immense pressure of actually being in a hospital and working as an intern (atleast that the name we get in my country)
I'm also a med student. I'm scared but also hopeful. 😅
A fellow med student here (from Sweden). This story line in the show absolutely broke my heart, I felt so much for Shruti. I feel so passionate about this field and can't really imagine myself wanting to do anything else, but I'm so scared about the working conditions that are coming.
As a doctor who lost one of his dearest friends by suicide, this was heart wrenching to watch. The milk bottle gave me a hint and from then I was crying nonstop. But I couldn't turn it off. It was devastating. It was absolutely devastating. My heart gets broken for every life that we lose to mental illness, especially when it is one of our colleagues. Not because their life is valued more or something, because I can feel their pain.
ive only been following along with this show through your videos and my mouth dropped open when she took her own life. I did a paper on mental health issues in the pre hospital setting and its incredibly sad how many health care professionals have harmful coping mechanisms and/or have suicidal thoughts...and then end up dying of suicide.
the access to medications that can end your life so easily is part of it. I've known a few colleagues who have tried to end it with strong drugs. As a team it just hurts us all
Absolutely brilliant, eye-opening analysis of this show. It adds another dimension to this incredible series about our NHS
I had a really close friend I worked in a care home with unfortunately take his life last year. And watching this show brought back a lot of feelings just seeing Doctor Shruti showing signs that she was becoming burnt out and how she hid everything under a mask. And I think it’s a really important issue that needs a addressing in all aspects of healthcare, especially after covid. And I think a lot healthcare professionals push this stuff down and repress some of the things that you see, and to make sure that the people your looking after are the priority over yourself in some ways. And I think that’s something this show also captured really well is that despite all the night shifts, being called in on days off, the pressure placed on staff of all levels, it still shows that we are here to help and look after people to the best of our ability!
I think what helped me cope with the stress as a junior doctor is eating good food. Even if some days I dragged myself home half asleep I would make food, like a hot noodle soup. On weekends when I had a bit of free time, I would mass-make dumplings and my favourite steam buns and freeze them, then during lunch I just microwave it and eat in 5 minutes. Healthy food is really very important, don’t keep dumping junk food like ice cream sandwich into yourself, you’re not a rubbish bin. One of my colleagues always admired how I brought good food to work, and I tell her it’s just my way of keeping healthy and happy in the heavy workload. ❤️
I really feel very sad that Shruti was so stressed that she suicided. One of my friends also told me that she was on a taxi, and it was raining, and a depressing song was playing on the radio, and suddenly she was bawling her eyes out... people all have a time where they just break down, we should just let the stress out in our own way and confide in somebody we trust. Don’t let the sadness build up inside you and eat you up from inside ❤️💕
I’m so grateful that in my country our hospitals have relatively good facilities, there are enough staff and we have good leaders and mentors to guide us. When we make mistakes we don’t have to face them alone, the environment is very supportive.
Have an awesome day and always stay positive, no matter what your job is 🌼🌻

My aunt worked as a nurse in a private hospital for years. She told me to never go to one as they aren't better just expensive. I've had private care which has been fantastic but not for anything serious/life threatening.
Ive only been watching the show through your videos, and I cant believe how heartbreaking this was. It just hits so close to home as another human being who has struggled 😭😭😭
Once again an amazing video, I love how you can go from lighthearted friendly junior doctor to talking about serious topics with an important message so effortlessly, amazing!
10:00 showed me that you're an experienced doctor. I don't know the legal or medical titling of Junior doctor in the UK but, from a layman's point of view the way you react, diagnose and correct mistakes, even of a TV show, I can see you've encountered a numerous amount of situations that have built your experience up. Good on you, I want to see you keeping on, building up, experiencing more, saving more people. One day people won't call you a Junior doctor, and again, the way you react, I am confident those who in turn will be looking up to you will have the guidance they need to grow in their own right.
Seriously affecting episode. This show comes to life even more with Dr Hope’s commentary. This episode was extraordinary. Don’t think I’ll forget it.
Another amazing video covering such a difficult topic. I have lots of family members in the NHS so I'm all too aware of NHS burnout and how much of an effect it can have on people's mental health. As a chronically ill patient I always do my best to try to support my medical team as much as they support me; I always ask how they are after they ask me, have nice conversations with them where appropriate to do so, I make sure that they feel no pressure from me if they're running late, I send thank you cards/gifts/update letters after successful treatment/surgery, and if it is nothing but bad news I let them know that it's okay that they can't help medically and thank them for everything they've done including how they've helped in other ways such as being supportive in their care. My local hospitals are all teaching hospitals so I often see junior doctors at the request of my consultants so they can learn from me and my condition because I have Ehler's Danlos Syndrome which is pretty rare and I always have such lovely chats with them whilst I'm helping them understand EDS further which is a really nice break for both of us I feel! After a very successful surgery I'm now well enough to get back to work and I'm about to start working in the NHS myself. One of the things I brought up in my interview was having a duty of care not only to our patients but to my colleagues too; I talked about NHS burnout and how important it is to look after those who are always busy looking after everybody else to make sure they're okay and feel supported. Adam Kay has done such a wonderful job bringing attention to this issue and he was so lovely when I met him a few years ago. It's also so amazing to see medical professionals like you talk about this so thank you so much!
I also have EDS! Hello, fellow Zebra! 👋🦓
Had to look up EDS but the zebras bit didn’t take much explaining after that - made me smile 😊 I also read that a group of zebras is called a Dazzle!
Think how much worse it has been over the last 2 or so years with covid, our doctors and nurses around the world are heros, without a doubt, but even heros need support, even heros need a break from time to time
There's been a lot of commentary on Shruti's seemingly sudden suicide and how important it is that healthcare workers not be forced to sacrifice their health like that. It's a really important message from the show but I think the reality is a lot more complex. This is not just a matter of someone being overworked. It's also a toxic culture that puts working yourself into the ground on a pedestal, makes light of harmful coping mechanisms like getting drunk after work because your 12+ hour shift was such hell, and breeds healthcare workers so chronically exhausted that we don't look out for each other even when the signs are there that someone really needs help. There's also the fact that we simply have too many people needing hospital care, made so much worse by budget cuts to preventive services and delays in accessing GP appointments.
As for suicide, I work in acute mental health and can say quite confidently that there are always signs, often quite obvious ones, but unfortunately the vast majority of people just don't recognise them. People expect those struggling with depression, suicidality etc to be stereotypically "emotional", while the reality is actually the opposite. Sadly the general public have almost no understanding of mental illness and quite a lot of misunderstandings on top of that. And most healthcare professionals (outside of mental health) are not that much better. The state of mental health care in the UK is so poor, I wish the general public knew how bad it is. Because nobody would take the risk of thinking their loved ones are going to be ok after staying in hospital for a few weeks. If people knew how the system actually works I think more people would reach out because in reality there is very little safety net. Most people will not be able to access help even once they reach crisis. It's not unusual for people to contact their GPs stating they have thoughts of suicide, only to be told that unless they have "actual plans" then there is simply no help available for them under the NHS. Literally the NHS is waiting for people to attempt suicide before they will spend money to help. Then if you need hospitalisation and are lucky enough to secure a bed, it will likely be on the other side of the country from your family and friends, leaving you completely isolated in a scary environment staffed by people who barely have time to learn your name.
Thank you so much for writing this! Could you please recommend some books or reading materials about early signs of suicide? Many thanks again!
Thanks for the breakdown! This show really captured me I went searching for the last two episodes.
I absolutely love how The National gave you goosebumps. I was thinking the exact same thing when watching this episode.
This ep really broke me because her behaviour just reminded me so much of an old friend of mine that did end up takeing his life too. Watching this one was really hard and because of that, it is my favourite episode and the acting is just spot on.
Thanks for these comments really enjoyable to hear your perspective on a great series.
Truly, truly heartbreaking. And you're right we all know someone or have heard about someone who this has happened to 💔
It's been so interesting hearing your perspective, thank you
Thanks for talking about fainting in the operation theatre❤ I really do feel like an impostor, because I felt very light headed twice during operations as a 3y med student. I’ve heard doctors saying really nasty stuff about medstudents fainting. So I’m a very grateful for you
This episode has made me cry so hard, as a mother who recently went to the theatre myself post delivery due to severe blood loss, and I’ve had my newborn baby ended up in ICU due to a medical accident. But this also allows me as an outsider to look into what NHS is like and the stress medical staff are on. This is just so heartbreaking, so heartbreaking.
*sobs quietly in CAMHS* Thank you for this!
Another amazing review episode with amazing breakdowns and insights.
13:57 I was at a lecture yesterday and my lecture was talking about how she worked in a private hospital very short term and a patient was there for a simple surgery and something went wrong and he was crashing. Apparently they had a ventilator to transport with the patient but that was it they had to take him via ambulance to an nhs hospital. I actually showed her this scene and she said it was extremely common and she would never have a surgery in a private hospital
5:57 Great sound effect! For my first child my partner had a scheduled C section due to previous trauma and the surgeon was kind enough to invite me to gown-up and sit beside her during the op. The sounds were amazingly squelchy, despite the loud opera music being played, and you could see the reflection of the action in the overhead light housing, despite the curtain. It was amazing! Sadly for the next two births the hospital was less obliging and I couldn’t persuade them to let me in.
Thank you for another great reaction.
Wow I wish I could watch the whole thing here. Thank you so much for your videos Doc! That was a punch in the gut
I had a colleague commit unliveness. I miss her, I’m glad they showed this.
I have lost a friend to it too, I feel your heart ache ❤️
Yeah it really did hurt!! Such a difficult episode to watch and it's frustrating knowing doctors, nurses and other healthcare staff are going through severe burnout during the pandemic. My heart goes out to them - I work in hospital admin in the NHS and seeing healthcare being impacted by staff not being supported, waiting times getting longer, not having decent systems to work with and so on, it just makes me sick.
Hello, student doctor from Pakistan about to start my house job in a month or two, really appreciated your series, Dr Ed! Very informative and relatable! Will be waiting for the one with last episode! 🙂
Thank you, excellent commentary, informative.
The story of trying to get someone to another floor to a working scanning machine is actually from the book. I think the author berated himself, but it made sense why he had gone there for the equipment. I think the patient deteriorated rapidly, but ended up okay. I can't quite remember all the details though from the book.
Like many others, I haven't watched this without you.
And holy f*****g shit! Wasn't expecting that last scene. Because she "bossed" it and would be the start of her really knowing she is worth being a bag ass doctor.
Thank you for watching and commenting. Your experience takes it to yet another level, especially discussing the end sequence.
I just read the book two weeks ago. Wow. Bean counters and paper pushers versus healthcare professionals. It’s the same here in the States. This is how you lose good people.
This episode was so heartbreaking. I work in the NHS and one of my colleagues tried to take her own life. She is getting support now and doing okay but it could have been such a different outcome.
Here, in the US, veterinarians are also far above the average for suicide rates. Twice the average of MDs, and 4 times the national average.
The rate of suicide in the veterinary profession has been pegged as close to twice that of the dental profession, more than twice that of the medical profession (2), and 4 times the rate in the general population (3).
Yeah, that's just one of the reasons I didn’t end up going into veterinary medicine as I doubt I could handle all the pressure! 😓
My SIL is a vet with her own practice. This statistic is worrying.
As a vet this is very true, not only for the US but for the profession in general. Tbf the proffessional health care/animal care sector churns through way to much people to be sustainable. It was always a demanding job but with a shift towards households where both partners need a full time job there isn't a male or female partner tot take care of you when you get home so you lose a lot of time to decompress. This get's worsened when you add social media, a less patiënt cliënt base and chronic gross understaffing in the mix.
So even though things got more modern and sometimes working hours got more reasonable (not always) there is still a net loss in time to decompress and take your mind of off things. When you're always "on", even at home, and you need to rush all day every day it's no wonder burnout is rampant, especially when the cliëntele isn't always that thankfull for your efforts.
The only way out of this I see is hiring a lot more personel, respecting free time and providing an environment where one partner is atleast able tot be a part-timer. This means more affordable housing and living. That's a long term goal so it will take time.
As an individual you can help us sort term by being a little patiënt when you need to wait (or have a lot of patiënce sometimes). We don't like to keep you waiting either but can't always help it due to the nature of the job (unexpected things happen A LOT). Also if you feel thankfull or think that we did a good job let us know, almost noone does these days so we only hear the complaints as a result.
Many people who become (human) doctors do so because of the money, prestige, job security, etc. Most people who get into Veterinary work deeply love animals, because the pay is certainly nowhere near that of a human doctor and outright requires that passion. I love animals that much and was deeply traumatized by losing pets growing up, so I cannot imagine having to do that every day.
Those statistics are very scary. I personally used to work as a vet tech. For a while I was severly depressed (not so much because of burnout though, but there were other things going on in my life that basically pushed me past my breaking point) and came very close to stealing drugs from work to take my own life. I can clearly see why it so easily happens to veterinarians and vet techs. It's a difficult field to work in that easily push people into burnout and depression. And then you work with euthanasia more or less every day and have incredibly easy access to taking those drugs for yourself and to basically put yourself down with the same mindset that you put animals down (ie to end your horrible suffering). I feel very passionately about protecting the mental health of all health care professionals (veterinary or otherwise), having now left the field to become an MD instead.
As someone who was very close to the edge over 3 decades ago and not having any knowledge about the series or Shruti's story, I saw this coming early on. I recognised parts of myself from back then in her, I can't even describe what exactly it was, I just knew.
Thank you for this.
the private is very accurate. I went into a private place for benzo reduction and I had a seizure and needed to have an ambulance take me to UCH to get me on propofol with an aesthetics team. They RAN OUT of lorazepam and I was still in a full seizure.
Yikes! Why would people choose the private hospitals? Do they not know of their shortcomings? I would think having meds on hand is better than California beds!
@@WouldntULikeToKnow. You can get faster treatment for more minor/non-emergency issues... which is great until there are complications.
@@WouldntULikeToKnow. I dont think most people do. Whilst the NHS gets lots of love, it also gets lots of criticism for its flaws e.g. long waitlists. People think the grass is greener elsewhere and that paying will get them better clinicians/treatment
@@WouldntULikeToKnow. can get appointments faster as you need to pay for private. I know someone who would have to wait 2 years for an appointment with NHS gyno, but managed to get one private within a month or so
I hope people in the U.K AND the U.S watch this and see what our healthcare workers are dealing with. I've seen and heard so much abuse toward doctors, nurses, etc. over the past two years and, no pun intended, it makes me sick.
Really love these videos are you going to be doing another fight scene breakdown soon, you should look into the bus fight scene from nobody
This has been thrilling to watch you cover
saw it coming around episode 4 :( was heartbreaking watching her burn out and suffer
I love your videos! Please, react to the next episode as well!
I love you videos. please do not stop.
This series really got to me. Thank you for giving your reactions up til episode 6. You said that you would finish out the series and review episode 7, yet I do not see this posted. Are you going to follow through? Thank you.
Wow. I was definitely not expecting that.
Love all your insight, so interesting and helpful to have your explanations and you always do it in a way that’s clear. I think the saddest thing for me with Shruti is that as a person who’s never experienced mental health problems I thought ‘why doesn’t she just quit? Surely if her job is the problem then anything is better than taking her own life’ but I think by the time it gets this bad people can’t think rationally like that and ending it all seems like the only option. 😔
Even rationally, the prospect of just abandoning the career you've invested years of your life into, really your entire life since perhaps adolescence, is understandably massively intimidating.
As someone who does experience depression, I don't think Shruti realized that the work environment was the problem and instead blamed herself for not being able to handle it. Thinking you have an inherent character flaw and feeling trapped in the career you no longer love can be overwhelming, especially if you don't have the mental health support you need.
Man, in NZ in the ED, or at least in the hospital I go to, patients have to be transported for tests either in a wheelchair or a bed, especially if they've been given pain relief...unless it's just people freaking out because of my tremors...that happens sometimes...
It’s shocking when you can actually recognize the phases Shruti went through. I don’t like when people repeat the circle of abuse, just because they ‘learned’ that way. Thank you so much for this review.
This show looks so good! I'm in America so I can't find it anywhere!
Could you look at Grey's Anatomy series 5 episode 5, where they do six simultaneous kidney transplants.
I'm wondering now 3:12 here in the netherlands patiens can call urgent care and get advice over the phone. Is this different than uk/us?
Yeeei I missed this series.
People in the UK, have you heard anything on a Season 2? 💜📺
I’m not from England but I’m aware of what NHS is, but do private hospitals exist? And is patient care covered by nhs system or is it out of pocket? Private insurance ?
Yes, private hospitals exist. They can be paid for by private insurance or out of pocket.
Yes, they exist and are super expensive, and everyone still pays for the NHS through taxes. It can be really good for chronic issues which the NHS doesn't prioritise (e.g. Mental health issues, migraines, chronic pain etc), however for emergency situations (as shown in this show) can be disastrous and often relies on the NHS for equipment and life saving care. All doctors in the UK have to train with and work for the NHS (at least whilst they are a junior doctor, which is a long time) and most will keep working for the NHS even if they take up private shifts
@@sharks2571 yeah some end up working part time NHS, part time private. Can be annoying tho cause some GPs take advantage of the waiting list and will recommend patients see their friends privately (I get making your friends money but it feels icky)
Can u do a video on healthcare professional and mental health
I love this show but by gosh does it hurt to watch. The title don't lie.
I honestly think the PPH scenes could be used for teaching. I am about to be registered as a midwife and I got goosebumps watching the emergency management.
Really interesting serie here. I'm a bit annoyed that CZcams clearly dislikes your videos.. as I NEVER get them to my feed.. even with sub and bell and everything.. I just do not get them.. until I look exactly at your channel or on some random popup..
I'm in America, so almost all of our hospitals are private, but I don't think we even have private hospitals like that one here. Most hospitals here are more similar to the public hospitals there, or at the ones I've been to. Pretty much the entire healthcare system here is for-profit in some way.
Though I will say, the care at the cheaper and more overworked hospitals here ironically tends to be better despite overcrowding, stressful working conditions, subpar equipment, not enough beds, etc. The way our healthcare system as a whole works, generally the more expensive something is the more likely the doctor is there only because medical jobs here can pay a lot at more expensive providers, and the cheaper something is the more likely it is the doctor does actually care and is putting up with being underpaid because they want people who are low income to be able to access good care. I've had this experience firsthand with dentists and psychiatrists, and people who go to a more expensive hospital that my family avoids (partially because we can't afford it, but mostly because a family member that abused my brother and I works there as a nurse) being shocked at how different the care I got in the ER at the cheaper hospital was to what they received (it was overcrowded with long wait time and not enough beds for just the people who needed a bed, but the doctors actually listened and took me seriously).
Shruti case is terrifying. But there is also other scenario. Trying to push through by taking enough drugs.
Well now it makes perfect why they insisted on putting in a canula when I went to A&E with vaginal bleeding! TIL
What happened to the lady with the ruptured ectopic pregnancy? Did she survive?
She did. Saved by the consultant coming in
Wasn't there another show like that? Bodies? Also British, brutally realistic, told from the perspective of an O+G. Maybe you can review that one.
Man, maybe I missed an episode - it seems like we jumped ahead like 6 months or a year after the last one! Shruti's leading new Jr Doctors, Adam's gone private? I probably just dozed off at the ending of the previous one! Seemed like a big shift from the majority of the series though.
An episode or two ago I said it seems like they were setting up Shruti's character to burn out and quit. Then I saw her Being Boss at the end here and thought "welp, I guess I was wrong, instead they gave her the full circle experience, coming around to settle into a stressful but authoritative place where she knows she belongs here". So of course...wrong again :(
I can’t watch this show as I’m from the US but I still enjoy your recaps. My only problem is, I don’t know if the woman with the ectopic pregnancy lived or not.
Dr. Hope answered an earlier comment and said she did
It’s been on in the US
Heartbreaking
Are there many private hospitals in the UK? I'd have thought that with a system like NHS it'd kill the private sector.
There are lots. They mostly specialise in distinct fields and are useful for chronic issues. In general though, it’s the NHS hospitals that are the centres of excellence for emergency care.
I think most cities have at least one private hospital. They're mostly used by wealthier people who want a nicer, quieter experience, and to avoid nhs waiting times. Things like plastic surgery which isn't considered medically necessary is done by private hospitals and not by the nhs.
Sometimes they're also used by patients who normally use the nhs but pay privately for something specific that is medically important but the nhs isn't able to provide sufficiently because resources are stretched, or to be seen sooner because the nhs waiting times are very long.
I don't know if there are any formal statistics measuring this, but I think those last two reasons are becoming increasingly common because the nhs is not adequately funded or adequately staffed. We have a longstanding problem in the UK of not training enough doctors because of a limit on the number of places in medical schools, so we were heavily reliant on doctors trained in other countries coming to the UK to work. When the political environment became increasingly racist and hostile to immigrants, a lot of them quite understandably chose to leave.
The problems that we have currently in the nhs are not an inevitable result of having a universal free healthcare system. This is what happens when you have a universal free healthcare system and then continue to elect governments that do not adequately fund it, or adequately fund university places for healthcare staff, and then cut the funding to support adults to re-train as nurses, and then wonder why we have huge shortage of nurses. If you are going to have universal healthcare, you need to fund it properly. It will be a large percentage of your national budget, and it will be worth it.
There are many private mental health hospitals that only have commissioned NHS patients but I can't say the quality is always high
There are loads, but I wouldn’t use them! I’ve seen too much
"It's not going to burn you out" is a falsehood. Medical mistakes is the third leading cause of death in the US because they are burned out. Many are working two shifts, sleeping 4-6 hours and on two shifts again. They have no restrictions on this, you could go 48 hours and many do.
These restrictions are advisory in the US but a legal standard of care in Europe (I haven't checked the UK, I know it was going to change for private practise but and moving oversight to the company owning the practise which is a horrid idea that will lead to a lot of unnecessary pain and death but I don't know what changes were made to NHS practitioners (a subject I'd defer to you as the expert you are in that field).
I'm kinda happy with the way we do things in Sweden, my surgeon is on one shift only and not on a 48 hour rotation as he gets to me and tries to remember his own name as he writes down shit that he can't remember even though he just asked.
Thatt statistic is not fully correct. It accounts for all medical related harm which includes known side effects e.g. a blood clot afte4 surgery...which is a known risk factor but no nes fault
@@warbler1984 No, it's for medical mistakes alone, like not prescribing warfarin after such a surgery.
It's not for anything else, it's only for medical mistakes.
Why is it called theater?
So would hospital staff appreciate a hug? (With prior consent, of course)
So…. Did those moms live?
Why did you never react to episode 7?
Is a "Californian bed" a British term? I've never heard it in the States.
There's a "California king" mattress size, but it's a heck of a lot bigger than that one.
There is also "California Twin" sized mattresses, which are twin mattress width but longer that it could be.
@@7Seraphem7 Huh, I always saw those labeled as "Twin XL."
@@ToastyMozart It varies. That is the more normal way of naming it.
But I still doubt that is what they meant by "California Mattress" that, really doesn't mean anything on it's own.
I just thought that meant that the mattress was made in California or in China for a Californian company.
@@ToastyMozart when I was looking up mattresses ages ago, I was told those are the same.
Fruits and buiscuts VS Twixes? c'mon, medical professionals will choose twixes anyday.
Sadly the suicide of health professionals isn't something given enough attention, (i don't know the rate for doctors but in Australia nurses died by suicide at twice the rate of the general public).
3:20: you're not trained in ''telephone triage or prehospital medicine''; nowadays medical consultations over the phone are more and more common, especially since covid
Doesn’t mean you’re trained in it, have access to the correct program to document it etc.
I’m an emergency nurse, and we get phone calls asking for advice. We either refer to the telephone advice hotline, or tell them if they’re worried, to come in for an in person review.
@@OzeFlipperYou're right we're not trained in telemedicine. But unlike what you describe (from your nursing practice), medicine is being practiced over the phone more and more
Oh I’m not denying that it’s more common. But just because it is more common, there can’t be an assumption that all doctors or medical professionals are able to provide that service either. Particularly if not trained in that.
@@OzeFlipper I can only speak for physicians as I am less familiar with other professionals. Indeed, we did not cover teleconsultation in our training (even though I was to some extent), and it's not every physician that's comfortable with it. I never assumed that ''all doctors are able to provide that service''. Cheers
Welp, there's one for a drinking game.
Never have I ever....
Faceplanted into a C section.
You are so impressive ._.
not only the doctors. is everyone working in the nhs :(
Cowabunga Dude! Please breakdown the snow battle scene that involves real life injuries like the foot ninja getting kicked in the stomach by Raphael & right anterior shoulder dislocation & mandibular fracture done by Leonardo & left hip & right hip injuries after getting hit by Donatello’s bamboo & steel extendible Bo staff & a foot ninja getting thrown in the back of a semi trailer & three foot ninjas getting kicked in the left side of the head by a roundhouse kick by Leonardo in the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: 2014 Film Dr. Hope.
Grow up
i kinda liked this show, but book was way better to me, in show they changed few things to make it or more dramatic or not to end on a sad note, book is actual diary or adam, who is actualy a real doctor, he started a diary when he was a junior, thaz why book and partialy show is so realistic and accurate, in show they made it premature baby from i think episode one survive,d while real life baby died and adam was devasted and it had big impact on him...wonder will there be season 2....
The title isnt for the characters, it's for the viewers. EMOTIONAL DAMAGE
Where is episode 7 Dr Ed???
Yes soon!
@@DrHopeSickNotes soon?
