My First 24-Hour Surgery Call Shift in Residency
Vložit
- čas přidán 27. 08. 2024
- It's week 2 of residency and now it's my turn to be on call. However, my week definitely does not go as expected. I might actually be the luckiest resident who has ever taken call on surgery. Although the patient load wasn't what I expected, I still feel better about my role as a resident when taking call and the responsibilities that come with it. Hope you all enjoy the vlog!

Luckiest surgery call ever I think? 👀 I’m planning to do some Q&As about residency in next week’s vlog so make sure to drop some questions in the comments!
Do you have any funny and hilarious patients?
When your in surgery ,do u get to operate or just watch?
this is giving series/episodes vibes 😂 keep going please!!!!
Yo that’s the vibe I’m going for!! 😂
For the first week of residency on call, you did a great job. It can be a little busy at times. Nice to see that you've balanced your responsibilities good for the first week of being on call.
Thank you so much 🙏🏻 I appreciate that
I love the positive attitudes, you two actually made surgery look fun!
We have to make the most of it! Having a positive attitude keeps our spirits up for sure! :)
Another episode of The Adventures of Shaun and Depal lol. I think this is the most relaxed surgery call I've seen from any medical youtuber lol. You look like you're genuinely having so much fun with Depal lol. It must've been a slower week at work because you even have time to give us another weekly vlog lol.
Haha the adventures continue! Yeah it was definitely a super relaxed week 😂 I’ll be doing another week of call at the end of the month and there is no way it can be as slow so we will see how that goes! Overall tho we are having tons of fun :)
Honestly man, this way of vlogging is just so entertaining. I've watched the whole thing and never got bored. It just gives more realistic vibes without the music and with only basic editing. Keep it coming 🔥🔥🔥🔥
The 80s playlist is legendary. Congrats on your first week on call. You’re doing great🎉
80s music has “surgery” vibes for some reason 😁 haha thanks so much!
It's so cool 😎 to see this young doctor listening 🎶 to the music we grew up to in the 80s
Crazy that I watched your first videos getting into school during Covid and now you’ve made it. Congrats!
Love the videos! I remember you starting med school while I was applying - now I'm an M4 (wow) applying derm. Thanks for being so relatable and transparent over the years, it's been a huge help to everyone else going through this!
That’s so awesome 🙏🏻 congrats on making it to your application year! You’re so close to the finish line :) thanks for supporting the channel this whole time
Great vlog champ! Making a positive difference on patients and in the people who watch your videos.
Thank you so much 🙏🏻
You did an excellent job keeping up with the gym! If you prioritize working out after work, you will make it habitual. I'm proud of you, and thanks for the inspiration!
Thanks so much 🙏🏻 it was hard to stay motivated but I refuse to start slacking again
I just found your videos yesterday. I love them. My brother became a neurosurgeon at age 24. And watching this videos, reminds me of him when he was younger. Good luck.
HOWWW???!!! What was his schooling like to get done so quick if you don’t mind sharing
You and Deepal were meant to be in residency together. True blessing. I look forward to vlogs giving Shaun and Deepal does Residency series vibes!! Here for it!!
HOW I LOOOVE YOUR VIDEOSSS i just discovered your channel today and i think you gonna be my new addiction and you just make me love medecine more and give me the hope to not give up on my dream♥
Love your energy and sense of humor. You and Depal are a wonderful duo. 🥰😎 I had a 6-hour surgery in 2022. Along with my excellent surgeon, I came to have an appreciation for the anesthesiologist who kept me safe and alive. 🙏🙏 You both have bright futures! P. S. My daughter just became an RN. Her best friend from elementary school just became a doctor. ❤❤
That’s amazing!! Huge congrats to your daughter and her friend, both are going to do amazing things during their careers! :) you should be so proud!!
I love how he’s wearing his scrubs outside 0:01
:O
Why?
Insane to see how many things are glorified in medicine and in reality there is much, much work, years of dedication to make it happen, and still after that, much hard work! Congrats guys!
Arthur!! So true. That’s why we try to show an unfiltered look into what it really looks like :) thanks buddy!
The puppies are so cute! I love your optimism and positivity. The future is very bright and bountiful.
I’ve been watching ur vlogs since freshman year of college! Just graduated. But didn’t get the grades I remotely needed to get in to med school. So I’m switching into business. But watching your vlogs makes me wanna reconsider or at least try a few gap years to get in! Keep up the good work man!
Hey man! Sorry to hear that. Honestly, you can always reconsider! Life’s short, do what is going to make your heart the happiest!
I’d love to see a video where you describe the surgeries you do/how you set up for each case if you’re able to film in an unused OR. Loved the vlog this week Shaun keep it up 💪🏼🙏🏼
Not sure how much permission I can get for something like that, but I’ll definitely try to in the future! :)
I first started watching your vlogs when I was applying for med school-- the first one I saw was the SWAG package you got from UNLV. I watched through your first year religiously but once I started med school myself, I've watched less consistently. I'm now an M4, and will be applying neuro, and watching your last few vlogs have given me hope that residency doesn't have to be this big scary thing. Really looking forward to continuing to follow your journey.
The hospitals in Canada no longer serve anything deep fried. Everything is healthy fresh food options. You can still get stuff like grilled chicken, but no more fries, or anything fried.
That aside, I’m so proud of you Dr. Andersen. Keep being a rockstar. It won’t be too long before you’re doing your boards and becoming a board certified Anesthesiologist. So proud of you and much love. ❤️💜💙
I am in Alberta, Canada, and I am noticing the same trend. There is no longer fried food, but the number of carbs in the ready-to-eat processed free foodstuff is so tempting.
Interesting! I would love healthier options, which our hospital definitely does provide. We just have to be more conscientious since we have so options and temptations.
thanks for the clear and concise explanations in your videos!
Great video dude 😊
These videos are really interesting. I enjoy seeing the different lifestyle and routine doctors have. Keep it up brotha.
Glad you like them! 🙏🏻
Fantastic vlog this week Shaun 😊. You've always got a positive attitude, and that's gonna get you far in your profession as a Medical Doctor 🧑⚕️. I also love how you say the word "baby." It sounds so cute coming from you. And, you're such a sweet young man that I have really enjoyed watching you grow as a person. I'm so proud of you and can't wait to see you in San Diego, CA. Much love and respect darling. ❤😊
Trauma nurse here, i love playing music in the morning when we finish our charting. After rough shifts it helps us leave in a good mood.
It definitely helps get the spirits up and sets a good tone for the day! :)
Wow, you’ve come so far! Go Shaun!!
Thanks so much Krystal!! :)
Just came across your channel ! I enjoyed your vlog ! Thank you for taking us on your journey …proud of what you do ! Keep shinning your light !
I get so eccited when i see a vlog of yours! Its so cool to see u so happy! Your patient's are so lucky to have you.😊 its so cool to share your rotation with such a cool friend. Im amazed to follow u and see your growth! Keep these vlogs coming we love to share your journey with you! ❤❤❤❤
Hey Sherry!! :) hope you’re doing well! Thanks for stopping by and continuing to support the channel 🙏🏻🙏🏻
I love your vlogs!! It just gives me so much insight! I hope PGY1 goes well for you :)
So glad you like them! :) best of luck to you with everything!
You’re incredible!! Don’t know how you do it! I am a nursing student. Really enjoyed watching! 😊
His friend DePaul I don’t know if I’m spelling his name correctly, but he has the cutest face. He looks like a sweet baby bear. Awww 🥰
he is definitely a teddy bear :)
@@ShaunAndersen Lol 😂
Good for you looking so happy doing something as dreadful as residency and especially surgery call! I hated residency and fellowship and only now am I truly happy chilling and living the life.
Gotta keep up a positive attitude! :) what’s your schedule like now that you’re done with your training?
I work 8-10 days out of the month as an IM hospitalist.
@@seb1990s that sounds like an incredible schedule!
I am glad both you and ND MD are doing anesthesiology. I want to go to med school and anesthesiology is my top specialty. Why? I’m a nurse and on my rotation, I saw both an ENT and a nurse anesthetist and it kinda gave me as spark to be in a position where I can either chose those two specialties. Both the surgeon and the anesthetist loved what they were doing.
Long story short. These vlogs helps me understand what I am up against, and so far, they have solidified that I actually do want to go to med school and become specialize in anesthesia ( or ENT).
Keep up the good work
That’s so awesome!! Both are great career options and I’m so glad that me and Andy’s videos have helped give you some insight. Whichever choice is make is a good one! 🙏🏻
3 vs 9 years you better really want it😂
@@bluethunder9102 more than anything
@@ShaunAndersen they really do, and I appreciate all the work you are doing
whos gonna carry the boat ....haha..... we loving it .....
we carrying the boat 😤💪🏻💪🏻
that one 24 hr on call shift was literally what i make for a months of work...
i'm loving this content!!!!
I’m so glad!! :)
Never feel bad for having a slow week. Cherish them.
I definitely did :)
Great video! Would love to hear what type of surgical cases you were involved in if that’s within HIPPA regulations
I’ll start to share more about them! Someone else mentioned the same thing
the energy drinks every morning 🤝😂 caffeine too good but bad lol
I knooooow 🥲 I keep telling myself I’m gonna cut back but it’s tough
@@ShaunAndersen its alright thats me with coffee rn 😂😂
I definitely would much prefer to have nonstop patients, etc because when I’ve had jobs where I had “dead time”, it’s so much harder to get back in the groove versus being busy consistently.
Love the vlogs! 🔥🔥
Thanks brotha 🙏🏻
Love it, keep bringing more.
Thank you! Will do!
@@ShaunAndersen ❤❤ thanks bro.
Shaun is just another Dr Foxy!
Great seeing you flip at the gym!
It’s my fav thing to do! :)
Awesome video!!! Residency suits you :)
Thanks so much :)
wow! seeing it from this view instead of kevin's blew my mind
hey shaun, do you think you could do a video breaking down your residency application?
Absolutely! I’ll do it before ERAS! :)
@@ShaunAndersen huge thank you man
How do you balance editing and going through residency? How do you schedule your time to edit? Love your videos and especially your vlogs you’ve been putting out with your residency experience!
I’ll answer all that in the next vlog! :) those are great questions!
I have a question. If u do get a call do you get it on ur pager or how else will u get the alert? And also do you have to studies during ur residency? Also keep up the good work you are such an inspiration.
ayeeeee go!!! shaun
🎉🎉🎉
this feels tough.. I'm in my 3rd yr right now and i don't know how i feel about residency aghh.. but yaa as you said the pay will make things better hopefully.. i just feel so lost currently though lol.. thanks for this doc..
You will be making tons of money!
Curious… how do you take care of your dogs when on call?
Yea I would probably wake up that happy to if I knew I was going to be making half a mil a year, instead I wake up to yell at recruits 🤣🤣
Depaul is great man😂 couple of questions here! I’m thinking you’ll start anesthesia in your second year right? Is DePaul doing anesthesia too?
He is doing radiology! 😁
I just realized I was watching this video but commented on your 1st week residency video - only someone like me would do that, lol. Can you do a video on eating and drinking healthy during residency & maybe also sleep hygeine during residency? How do you feel about it?
That’s hilarious haha yeah I can definitely talk about that! I don’t necessarily eat and drink the best 😅
Nice video ! Could you do a video about why Depal chose Radiology ?
I’ll definitely have him talk about it next vlog!
great job!
Thanks!
Wow, it's a small world! I went to Centennial with you, and your video just auto-played while I was watching medical field videos. Great to see you doing amazing things!
Do you participate in surgeries by overseeing surgeons, or do you only provide consultation before surgery? BTW Love these videos, keep them up!
We see the consults but also scrub in for the surgeries with our attendings! Since we are interns, we are basically just their first assist
Why are you on a surgery rotation as an anesthesia resident?
Very good Shaun 👍👍🙏🏻🙏🏻❤😃🤝💯🤘✋
🥳🥳
@@ShaunAndersen thank you DR🤝✋🤘❤
No thank you!! I appreciate what you do but not for me!!
Share your music playlist 👍
Great vlog man, I’m a country masculine gay man, I really enjoy donating to the anesthesiologist Foundation, since it was hard for me to go to college because of my cerebral palsy, I really wanted to be a anesthesiologist, I’m 34 from Memphis, are you gay? Just asking, I can’t drive because of my cerebral palsy, so I’m gonna get my all electric car and let other people drive it for me! You rock man, it takes a special person to be an anesthesiologist or CRNA and you’re one of them, I look up to all anesthesiologist and CRNA! Anesthesiologist is the best!
I’m not, but that’s awesome man 🙏🏻 so glad to see how positive you are despite the challenges and how you still give back to others!
@@ShaunAndersen thanks man, that means a lot! I have had 15 surgeries because of my cerebral palsy, I love helping people and I love the hilarious patient, that’s some reason I wanted to be a anesthesiologist
Shaun 😍😍😍
@@sneakerjockCA 🥳🥳🥳
Nice Shaun
0:02 24:27 not outside
Great circus training sounds like your friend wants to get under the big top. Sorry that sounds bad. Lol
Love the vids man! What was the average age in ur med school? I’m currently in DPT school but ultimately want to go to med school but I want be done with DPT school till I’m 28 and prob won’t start med school till 30. I’m worried that’s a little too late. Dream is to do orthopedic surgery!
Yooooo! That’s totally fine. I had tons of classmates in their 30s. You only have one life and the time will pass no matter what, so you need to do what is going to make you happiest
If possible, you should try to now show your ID badge in the videos because it would be easy to recreate by somebody with malicious intent.
When the music is older than you! 🤣
LMAOOO!! My favorite genre of music tho 😂
You beat us to the rock star punch!! 😅
do you guys not have on call rooms?
Are the things in the refrigerator for free? Damn,..
All free! We get treated gooooood
Awesome 😂❤
Question: I see that the hospital provides doctors snacks and drinks. Do they do the same for the nurses? Do nurses get the same free snacks and energy drinks as well?
I’m actually not sure what their setup is 😅 good question though. I’ll have to ask one of the nurses at my hospital!
@@ShaunAndersen please do? I am getting ready to go to nursing school myself. And maybe even contemplating medical school afterwards.
Great job Shaun. Am currently looking for a VA medical scribe position, do you mind helping me?
I’m not sure where they are hiring :o but I would recommend looking at companies like scribe america
@@ShaunAndersen thank you
How is the stipend across residency in different states ? Is it stipend or taxable salary slip ? How many hours of work per week actually for first year residents ?
do you have to buy the snacks and drinks or are they free?
Free! :)
Dr . Shaun merphy
aye thats me
How do you handle to be a Dog parent of 2 and an anesthesiology resident?! I love your content :) (asking for help as a dog mom of a very anxious 7 year old yorkie and aspiring to apply into anesthesia next year!)
Question… Aren’t energy drinks bad for you? I’m genuinely curious. would like a Doctor’s opinion
Is the transitional year for all med students, cause I saw few who directly started their residency
It’s just for the specialties that have the option for it, such as radiology, anesthesiology, dermatology, pm&r
Is there an adrenaline spike to know that you are the person they are calling to go perform a surgery? It has to feel good.
Do Residents make the final call on surgeries? Do they do the surgery?
What does the writing "Purusharth" on Dipal"s hand mean for him?
I’ll ask him to tell you in the next vlog 👀
@@ShaunAndersen Thanks. I was just curious! That is it...
I think the universe is in your favour because you have so many other things going on aside from residency.
I love staying busy and having multiple passions ☺️
I definitely agree with that though, love being busy as well! It’s good to have positive distractions when you’re doing work that can be intense at times.
Surgery call seems very different from IM or neuro. I don't see the same family questions, discussions, or drama that come up during the evening hours. I think the vibe of the vlog will change when you do ICU
Probably because surgery is treated more like a consult service here, so it’s quite focused. I agree tho things will change when I do IM and ICU
@@ShaunAndersen That makes sense. I've done neuro primary and consult. The main difference is what you have to take care of and the approach. People don't like primary because of the extra things you have to cover. However, consult services you have less control over. If a primary service doesn't do what you want, you can't force them to do it. If you want anything neuro specific to help you in IM/ICU/Surgery, I would recommend taking the online ENLS course (neuro emergency) to know what to do if you see status, stroke, or anything else with your patient. At least you'll feel more confident when you consult neuro
Also, get that STEP 3 done asap
They should especially give medical people 3 day 12 hours as well
I totally agreeeeee 😤
you are an anesthesiologist ?
Sade Britt 😀😎
Is this part of your UCSD anesthesiology residency?
@@carlosa.garciat.729 I’ll be starting there next year! Just doing my intern year here. Two separate programs
Leeett’ss gooo! 🤌🏼👏🏻🙌🏼🤩🙏🏼
🥳🥳🥳
🙏🏻
🥳🥳🥳
I’m confused…..I thought you were doing an anesthesia residency…..why are you doing surgery?
I am! I’m doing a transitional year and one of the requirements is a month of surgery
is your attending on call for the whole week as well
Yes!
Might want to remove the part where you did the surgical hand wash. It was improper. May not be great to keep that in the video.
I may need to rewatch that part to see why you’re referring to!
Pretty sure he did a special scrub for the video and then he re scrubbed 😂
@@Joannula96 literally just for the content 😂😂
why is it unethical if you stay at the hospital ?
We would break maximum work hours!
