Day in the Life of a DOCTOR: 24 hours with NO SLEEP
Вставка
- Опубліковано 18 тра 2018
- BUSIEST Day in the Life of a Doctor!! Such a crazy 24 hours in the hospital! Between seeing patients on the ward and new patients in the emergency department, there was no time to rest.
Do you want me to do a whole video on how I stay positive, even when things get overwhelming?
Thanks so much for watching!

Dang! My brain is FRIED after a 16 hour shift. Can’t imagine a 24hr. Great work! Thanks for showing us.
haha hey Liz! ok lets be real... 16 hours is an incredibly long time!!
I bet you hear that pager in your sleep! How can you make sound decisions when you are sleep deprived? And people in medicine know that better than anyone yet throughout North America they put residents through the mill. I don’t know how you do it. I have three sisters who are nurses. L&D, Surg floor and day surgery although miss Day Surgery is retired.
Nurse Liz I
If I ever become sick, I am heading up to Canada so I can be taken care of by you. I absolutley LOVE your energy and enthusiasm, which is very uplifting. I hope they pay you very well!
I work a 36 hour shift😬
Congratulations you are a very rare person in this world. Your combination of knowledge and compassion with the ability to work in such a mentally and physically draining environment is extremely admirable. The world would be a much better place with more people like you.
Wow thank you so much for such an incredible complement - I really appreciate it!
I agree wholeheartedly. There are some doctors that bite your head off just for daring to page them.
NurseMegz I’m sorry for asking this (I noticed that you’re a nurse) in which part of hospital (or if not in hospital) do glyph work (icu, ...) ? Again I’m sorry for asking but I’m really interested in your work (being a nurse).

Thank you for vlogging. Never felt bad vibes on your vlogs even when you feel so stressed and tired. Love your smile and positive outlook even on situations like that.
Thanks so much Christine!
I agree with Christine. I don't know how you maintain such a positive attitude under such a stressful position but it is admirable.

My question is, how is it acceptable to put doctors in so much sleep deprivation? I seriously don’t know any other profession where you have to not only study years to become a doctor, but are not treated with respect as much to allow them to sleep! I give you props and respect your profession!
hmm it is a great question and one that has been brought up many times... some countries are changing and even small changes have been made here in Canada and in my program too. i'll share that more with you! i agree though, it does seem crazy at times!
Unfortunately, the amount of people wanting to be a doctor and the amount of spots in medical schools for future doctors are QUITE disproportionate. Therefore, there are simply fewer and fewer doctors...even though there are more and more students aspiring to be doctors.
Being a public school teacher
R H being a public school teacher is no where close to this but nice try.
RH is a troll that's been going around annoying everyone on the Dr vlogs.
This woman is going to be a fantastic physician. She really has "a light" in her, as they say. To stay so cool and calm under such pressure is amazing, but most importantly you can tell she has a deep sense of compassion. That's what most doctors are lacking these days, and you can't teach empathy in medical school. I love seeing people doing exactly what they were meant to do in this life, and she's one of them.
I'm so sorry to hear about your grandmother...thank you for making the content that you do💛
Thanks Joy i really appreciate it!

I used to be terrified of hospitals but watching your videos has really given me an insight into a doctor life and I feel so much more relaxed about going to hospital so thank you 😊❤️
Good job showing the stress of the 24 hr call day for an IM resident. Hence, why I went into anesthesia. I would not be a nice person when answering pagers from all over the hospital for random things at 3am. Of course, we do still have to respond on call to midnight labor epidurals and emergent surgery so I suppose everyone has their cross to bear.
Thanks Bolt SRNA - I agree each medical specialty has it's own challenges, and IM certainly feels it during residency that's for sure!!
Yes please make that video about calming yourself down! I’m a very anxious person but find your voice so soothing, so every time I feel super anxious I’ll listen to your videos (kind of weird I know LOL)
Love you!
Hi MacKenzie - wow that really made my day to know that these videos are helping in a way I never would have expected! Thank you so much for sharing and I’ll do my best to make a video about coping strategies!
I agree and I love that you actual read the comments and respond even if it’s just to acknowledge the comment
@@ViolinMD Yes, your posivity is really amazing, I have anxiety too but watching you does calm me down. Plus, your videos is really intresting and I'm learning about your work. Thank you!
Ugh, I remember those nights with Zero sleep. Looking back, I'm not even sure how I did it!
It's hard enough being in the nursing staff doing 12 hr shifts, almost falling asleep driving home, I would not dare yet to go 24 hrs straight. Where I work, we are not allowed to go above 16 hrs.
Hi Rebecca! Yes it’s interesting how there are restrictions placed on nursing hours but not on ours (on Canada yet anyway)... I agree no driving home after 24 hours, far too risky!
I felt similar doing my 30+ hours of call but the RN's had no clue about this. Their union definitely would not allow some shift like that. Then try doing it every 4 days.
Violin MD some of our specialists such as Intensivists and Cardiologists are on call over an entire weekend. For the Intensivist this is difficult as they could potentially be up for 48 hours straight. Luckily our ICU employs 24/7 Pa’s and ARNP’s who help lighten the load on the doctors and sleep in house if they are able to. Most of hospitalists groups and Residents do 12 hour shifts.
I can’t imagine how our system gets away with allowing a Doctor to be on call 48 hours especially our Intensivists. At least they are not usually needed at night and can sleep. They are always as pleasant as you are when they do have to come in though :)
Girl I hear you. I work 12s 7am to 7pm , but really never leave before 13.5-14 hours documenting, because our pt. to nurse ratio is crazy! I like my facility, but I am a new RN...just trying to gain some experience and go on to a facility with way safer patient ratios.
i think it’s just a bit different for drs. she seems to be on call so she shows up when/if she’s needed but a nurse is going to be on hand literally the entire time
I can’t imagine what it’s like. I could never do it -need my sleep so much, or else I’ll get ill 😐
Yeah I agree that it’s not sustainable... it’s tough even in residency, but I certainly couldn’t keep doing this forever!
Violin MD you’re a trooper 💪
They need to have shorter shifts or more sleep time
Violin MD what kind of doctor are you? What is your specialty?
Ah well shes a doctor lol
You are so strong! Please do the video on keeping positive under stress. I work well but tend to get irritated easily. Thx 😘
Mmm yes classic problem... I’ve felt myself get into that irritated state at times too! Ok great glad to hear you are interested in that kind of video!
probably my favourite so far...got to see more of your lovely personality and more of your light-hearted sense of humour. beautiful!!.
Thanks so much Cee Q - i really appreciate it!! yeah i feel like i just keep getting more comfortable... although maybe it's the lack of sleep got me a little loopy hehehe
@@ViolinMD can you do a video on special needs people and the different seizures we go through
My heart dropped when you said the patient was passing away! My great uncle passed last week!
im so sorry,
I'm very sorry for your loss.
I can’t even work more than 7or 8 hours. How you able to work all these hours? Super human
haha well thank goodness it isn't every day!!
OMG, working 24u is not that hard. I use to work weeks from 95 houres.easy. with day and night jobs combined + evening school 3 days surplus. Not counted as work.
You are very hard working doctor💜💜💜💜
I saw u for the first time noww liked u . I am doctor A from algeria
Im prepairing for residensy this year wish me luck peace.
I’m a CNA and hearing someone is actively passing away hurts and sucks. I get connected to the people I take care of, one of my favorite residents recently passed away and it broke my heart. The medical field is definitely hard and being a CNA isn’t easy, I’m going to nursing school soon to become a registered nurse and I’m excited and nervous and stuff. I love watching your videos.
Thank you for your service and i am sorry they died

I’m not a doctor or anything, but I just wanted to say that I think you guys are all AMAZING. You might be tired and stressed, but you work so hard to help your patients. It’s cool to watch.
I actually really like the acronym. It even makes sense in this context. In german “halt” is a synonym for “stop”. What a coincidence. Love the vid by the way ❤️
I'm a 1st year pediatrics resident and honestly it does get overwhelming from time to time!
You're such a joyful person that I'm sure your patients love you and appreciate the things you do for them❤
Please do a video on how to stay positive and the techniques you use to keep on smiling on the darkest of days.❤❤❤❤
I dont know how you do it.. Sorry about your grandma, and patient ❤
Thanks Oda i appreciate it!
please look after yourself. you’re a warrior! thanks for being such a hard working doctor ❤️
aw thank you so much! yes this weekend is now a self-care time!
A video on positivity and stress management would be awesome, as someone struggling with mental illness it can be really had to find or stay positive when things look like they're coming undone. Even when you're tired you look very upbeat :) I feel (from my own experience) the satisfaction and sheer relief of crawling into bed after 24 hour+ with no sleep would have been major. Keep up the good work, you're a bright spark in what has otherwise been a very cloudy day for me
Hi Nat - thank you for reaching and out sharing! ok you have settled it in my mind... I will make that video for sure!

Violin-oh shoot
Pager-you might be wandering where I've been
I just found your channel. I can't imagine what its like to see people on days like this on their last moments. My heart goes out to that family of the person who is passing away and also to you. Those patients are your family for that period of time they are at the hospital. I now respect the medical field so much more thanks to you. You work so hard and I can't even imagine what its like to go through a rough and sometimes heartbreaking days.
You are so so dedicated to your job. Makes me proud :)
Siobhan: I’m stressed Literally still smiling sweet and adorable
Wow telling us about that pt and how they begun to decline and ultimately actively passed away while you were on call is crazy. A very raw and real moment. I worked as can and I can’t imagine how hard it must be on a SRD. I would be so stressed about filling out a death certificate. Reminds me of when I lost my boyfriend in a car crash and how he was announced dead at the scene then transferred to the hospital. Crazy stress you guys face daily. I appreciate you so much.
Thank you for taking the time to film and update us throughout your busy shift!! It is so fascinating to watch how your day goes and the challenges you’re faced with.
you definitely need multiple (well deserved) naps! i can barely survive on 6 hours of sleep
Hahah so true!!! It can affect you for a few days after I think 😅
Yes on the positivity video!!!
This is obviously your calling and what you're most passionate about! No wonder you're able to stay so positive. We need more doctors like you!!💓
My grandfather passed away in the ICU a few years ago. I remember how much pain my family and I were going through at that time. We had a great nurse but the doctor didn't seem to be so good. I wish we would have had a doctor like you who would have been so incredible and would have helped us through that time. Keep up the great work you're doing for the patients and their families!
Your vlogs make me want to study medicine and become a doctor! 😊
Mik P ikr. She amazing
The craziness doesn't scary you away hehe - so glad you are enjoying them!! thank you!!
Violin MD did you respond to me
Sameee I'm only 13 As well like
Follow your dreams, mik :)
Thank you for also making time for vlogs! You’re such a hard worker :)
I'm trying to get into med school for a while now here in Brazil and it gets really overwhelming and exhausting at times but since I've found your channel it has helped me get back on track and push me towards that goal. I thank you SO much for that! Your positivity is contagious and you sound like a great person and doctor!
OMG you are an amazing human being. People like you restore my faith in humanity. You seem to genuinely care about what you do and the patients that you work with. To be able to stay positive and not break down after an intense 24 hour shift (keep in mind, people lives depend on you!), in my opinion you deserve more recognition and a medal for valor! :) Thank you for making this vlog, it really puts things in perspective. Keep doing what you're doing and please share more tips on how to stay positive and not loose your s**t in stressful situations.
I am currently in high school, doing my best to get As and i want to be an orthopedic surgeon so bad! Your videos give me an insight into what it’ll be like so thank you
Are you even human??how do you function without sleep!! Love your videos!!
Haha sometimes I wonder the same thing... but I’ll tell you I crash the next day!! Haha maybe I’ll have to show that some time 😂
It's actually easy. But after about a day and a half shit gets weird for me.

@@aaliyahetc.6687 correct from 36u till 52 houres, then it gets really bad. 52 is the longest i was awake. working in the meantime or getting transport from 1 thing to another.

I'm in undergrad planning on studying nursing. I just wanted to thank you for your videos. With all the craziness in the health care field here I sometimes lose focus of why I'm upgrading to nursing. Watching your videos help me remember why I'm working so hard and taking time away from my job as a Health Care Aide to become a nurse. Thanks for the help!
Such a hard worker and beautiful soul!!! May God always keep you happy xxd
Ooh I like the HALT acronym! I think it also helps give you some perspective and allows you to see what you're experiencing is just a feeling which will pass, as well as giving you an idea of how to address it! And yes please to the video on staying positive - I find your energy really inspiring. :) Amazing video as always!
I completely agree - glad you like it too Lucy!
Hangry
My Dad is from Hamilton! My grandpa and aunt and so on all still live there. Really loved the HALT acronym.
oh really?? wow small world!
Your spirit and energy is AMAZING. You are so inspiring to watch and I'm so happy I found your channel. I would love to hear more about how you keep yourself positive and energized. I'm a mental illness sufferer and a person in recovery and I love the HALT acronym. It's a really great way to keep tabs on self care, and useful for everyone!
So inspiring! Doctors work so hard. I can't imagine being awake and working for so long and then having to go through emotional stress as well while maintaining your cool to focus on other patients...
Great content as always! Would definitely love to see a video on how you stay so positive!
Your videos are so informative I appreciate them so much
It always makes me feel happy when I watch you thank you for always helping everyone that comes into hospital
You are a compassionate person with a beautiful soul. Although it is a long time past, peace prayers and blessing to you as you work and care for your fellow beings. Kia Kaha! - be strong!
I've had a few 24-hour-awake shifts and it's really not easy .. That smile though❤❤
haha you know the feeling then!
Violin MD yesss🙆😄🙆
sheeza anwar great job!👍👍
I'd love to see a video about staying positive from you. That was such a crazy busy day, I really like watching your vlogs they're so informative!
Thank you!! Always great to hear from you JoyfishXO!
You’re so fun to watch. I admire you’re uplifting personality.
I absolutely love your videos. I'm a nursing assistant/unit secretary on the nephrology floor. I've only dealt with horrible and rude doctors which has definitely skewed my personal view. However, watching your videos have helped me through my long work hours and outlook on the medical field. Thank you!
This is the hospital I work at!
Really?? No way, small world!!
Violin MD you and Mackenzie should do a video together lol
Olivia Petrowski yes they should :)
@@ViolinMD please do
You are a strong lady. I love your positive energy usually when I don't have the motive to study I watch one of your videos ,also liked HALT😊
Hi Ikha - oh good i'm so glad you like it!!
You are my inspiration!!!!! I LOVE YOU!!! Please Don't stop, you are bar none the most wonderful soul. Thank you for all that you do!
I am so sorry to hear about your grandmother I recently lost mine back in March of this year so I know the pain you must be going through. My thoughts and prayers are with you and thank you for doing what you do.
I Love your videos. your voice is so soothing to listen to. :)
LOVED the editing and music in this one. Good job!
Thanks Jennifer!!
I really enjoyed this video because it gives you a sense of what working in the hospital is really like - prioritizing and time management, paper work, highs and lows and just the constant activity.
haha totally Jessica!! glad that came across!
Yes yes please make a video just dedicated in how to stay positive. I've recently started watching your videos for the past week. I'm not a doctor, just a medical assistant with big dreams but I love your positiveness and can't get enough of your videos. Thank you so so much!
your vlogs are so great, you really get to see behind the scenes! and they are always so informative!
So glad you feel that way - thank you!! 🙏
Violin MD omg thanks for the reply!! may i ask you something? so currently i am studying to get into medical school in vienna and i have some trouble understanding some parts of chemistry, and in comparison to some people i know i feel like i am not talented enough, even though i am more ambitious. I love studying the human body, and i do try my best at understanding chemistry, however if its a challenge for me now, do you think that i should reconsider medical school altogether? my alternative would be microbiology which i guess requires some level of bio chemistry as well.... thanks in advance!! xxx
This week I didn't sleep for two whole days (I study Literature and I'm in finals), but I can't imagine doing what you do! You're amazing and you motivate me a lot to keep going. Hugs from México
Oh boy I remember all nighters in undergrad!! Haha it’s very similar, but I think it’s easier to stay awake when you are walking around, rather than just being at a desk!
Thank you for your videos. You are so amazing and calm through all of the pagers going off. Takes a real special person. To be able to handle so well. Love your 🎻 playing
Thank you so much!
Sorry to hear about your grandmother, hope you're doing ok. I'm a second year resident in orthopedic surgery in Germany and those 24 hour shifts can really be tough. Really impressed how you seem to be handling those.
I know doctors are known for their "unreadable" handwriting😅 Are you and your staff able to read each others writing or does it take getting use to??🙂
Mary Lu most hospitals have electronic charting now :) no handwriting required!
haha good point! I actually work at multiple hospitals and some are electronic, others are not. I think it really helps to know the medication names etc.... but I also have trouble reading it sometimes... so i'll just call the doctor!! haha better to be safe than sorry!
Violin MD why/how do you work at multiple hospitals? I’ve heard of it before but never asked anyone why 🙊
RNBytheBay not in Canada! Most hospitals still use good old pen and paper. Some big cities and mainly those in the East coast use electronic charting or EMAR
@@tokee1234567 - Yay! Another Canadian!
Yes would love to see the video on positivity! Love your vids Doc!
Oh great thanks for your interest Kara!
Yes please! I would love to watch that video. Your optimism is amazing!
Thank you! As a student nurse its good to watch your videos to remind me why im studying and the end goal!
Please do do a video on how to stay positive even when things get overwhelming - I would love that! Also, your backing music is great!! 💙
Excellent - glad to hear you would like that type of video!!
Violin MD: "You guys always talk about how positive I am and I'm telling you right now I feel stressed, I feel overhelmed."
Violin MD: *has a giant smile while being stressed*
You are awesome!! As a paediatric oncology patient at SickKids Toronto, I find your videos so cool! I want to be a doctor when I grow up, so seeing the behind the scenes look is very cool (especially since you are Canadian, and most MD vloggers are from the US). Thank you for making these videos. You inspire many young people to go into medicine!
You're an incredible, strong, sweet, thoughtful person. You do really well. ❤
Thank you Destany!!
Hi. I love your videos. Great content and informative. I really liked the HALT acronym
oh fantastic - i agree, when my friend told me about it a few years ago, i thought it was so useful!!
Watching this during my 24hrs CS, I love your videos!!!
Oh yeah?!? Best of luck on yours!!!
Violin MD thank you 😊
When I feel like my day is busy and I’m working too long - I think of you and it gives me a reality check to keep going. Inspiring to watch you work so long and hard - whilst vlogging too!
You have the most beautiful skin! A 24 hour shift and you still look great afterwards! Keep working hard, love your videos!
I know when something bad is happening because of the music
hi from the philippines 💕
I enjoy all the types of vlogs you do!!! You are so good at being a physician!!! You are so caring and kind! And you can tell you love your patients and love solving their medical needs-simple or hard you are dedicated!!!
Thanks Karen - so glad that comes through in the videos, thanks for taking the time to comment!
I don't know why but your videos calm me down so much when I am having Panic Attacks and Anxiety attacks something about your videos put me in a state of relaxation thanks for that
I hope to hustle like you one day!
hahah hustle... yes that describes that day!!
YES!!!!!!!!! u r my idol!
Aww Reese - wow thank you so much 🤗
You're such a happy person! Love your energy
Self care weekend! Thanks for sharing ❤️
Yeahh... a video on staying/being positive sounds wonderful👌🏻👌🏻
How many cups of coffee did you have on this day? And, what did you eat, both full meals and snacks. Curious.
tnt She should do a “What I Eat in a Day (Hospital Edition)” video
All I can say is wow! Bravo 👏you handled those 24hrs like a champ. Not many people can do what you do. So when you’re feeling overwhelmed and doubt is settling in, just think how differently would patients experience be without you there. You are making an impact on people’s lives. You are greatly appreciated 👍👍👍
wow thank you so much Leo - i really appreciate you saying that!
Love your videos!! I'm an RN, so I know the struggles of being overwhelmed, tired, etc. Keep it up you're doing great!
Luckily, in our residency program we do not have 24 hour call (which I'm already starting to dread) till second year. Really good work!
oh really? which residency program is that? from what I understand, we do slightly less next year which will be nice!
Violin MD I'm an intern in a medicine residency program in Boston. Looks like first years have more responsibility in your program, which is great to watch. In mine, though interns carry more patients, second year residents have more responsibility, they do 24 hour calls and carry code/admission pagers. Anyways, love your videos, keep vlogging!
Can you talk about having relationships and being in med school?
Thanks for the suggestion!
Thanks for vlogging! As a practicing RN who is studying for Medical School I find your attitude and work ethic truly inspiring, and, of course, motivating!!
I’ve only watched a few of your videos and it’s not only how positive you are but you’re smiling. Even in times when you said you were stressed you were still smiling and laughing and that makes it so much fun to watch!
"I feel stressed, i feel overwhelmed," yet she still is smiling!😮 i get so stressed after school, and throw a fit. wow!
Just accepted my offer to McMaster!:)
Wow wow wow exciting!! Congratulations!! 🎉
You are so strong. Your energy so amazing!!!! And you are so positive. I watch your video after long day after school to keep positive.
So, I gotta be honest, I get anxiety when thinking about hospitals, seeing one, let alone being in one (personal history) - but somehow I find myself watching your videos from time to time and enjoying your soothing voice and positivity.
Also - Yes on that Calm under Stress video! I feel like a lot of people can benefit from that
