@Fishing and Freedom Fiend There is an old saying something along the lines of "A good solider naps/sleeps whenever he gets the chance." (idea being that something may happen that will keep you up for days).
"No, ED Doctor. The janitor isn't qualified to do work up on a patient with chest pains. I don't care how much you say he did a well enough job despite that. You may not send your PA to do rounds for you."
Man I'm in second year of med college i can't even relate we just want a break from all those weird names in pharamac lectures and names of hundreds of microbes
What ophthalmology clinic do you work in? My morning clinic starts from 7:30 and the afternoon clinic starts from 12:30. Most days we don’t finish until 5. I’m getting ripped off.
Evil that is visine AND other doctors prescribing steroid and antibiotic drops for every single eye problem. Especially a certain little combination with dexamethasone. In dermatology, it's a never ending fight against every other skincare brand, misinformation, "clean beauty", skincare influencers, and (some) aestheticians who try to treat disease.
@@itsgonnabeanaurfromme Ah, my apologies, for a quick line I showed my ignorance. I guess every speciality does have misinformation campaigns they have to fight against, Visine is just one of the ones Dr Glock has mentioned repeatedly.
That’s because you take short naps and wake up in the middle of your sleep cycle. Probably in deep sleep. Sleep cycles are in multiples of 90 minutes, so time your alarm close to 90-100 minutes
Still amazes me how my dad gets too come home and take 2 hour nap breaks Monday to Friday at his ophthalmology clinic. He comes home, eats, passes out till mom wakes him up, then off he goes into the wild blue yonder.
Easy: just check the specialities of doctors who upload on youtube almost on a daily basis. They're probably the best work-life balance specializations. 😂
My Opthalmologist Prof asked us about something Opthalmology. And he asked how would we manage this as General Practitioners and my friend said - Order CT and call the Opthalmologist to which Prof said no way - You're not calling an Opthalmologist on Friday at 4pm. That's when I knew these videos aren't an exaggeration 😌
I chose Ophthalmology. You can too. There were long clinic days and O.R. days... but I had a sofa in my office at U of C and took many a nap. Hey, it takes a while for some patients to dilate!
So, my dad is an ophthalmologist (pediatrics, private practice.) He kinda picks his own hours, but in general he works ~8am to ~5pm, Monday-Friday. Weekends always off. Takes vacation when he feels like it. Can sometimes run over if he has surgeries, or is on call for a hospital. Even when he is on call though, he mostly just tells them it isn’t as urgent as they think it is and he’ll see the patient Monday. So, as far as a well-paying specialty with the option for surgery and sub specialties goes… pretty good hours.

Dude, why do ophthalmologists always look like they're the sweetest doctors? My ophthalmologist when I was a child was so nice and engaged in getting to know me, instead of focusing purely on my blind eye like my mother did. He had the best bedside manner. I was born blind in my left eye from a condition called PHPV (Persistent Hyperplastic Primary Vitreous) with microphthalmia and a white pupil (can't spell the Latin term). Developed glaucoma at around 5, had all but the sclera removed, and an orbital implant was put in (to stop my eye socket caving), with a prosthetic I can pop out.
Seriously, mine was an absolute rockstar and explained stuff so a 9yo could understand!! I had surgery for strabismus but before that had a prism sticker on my glasses lens. We love opthalmologists
When I was 12 I cried so much about how uncomfortable my stitches were after my ptosis correction surgery that my mom got my ophthalmologist to come in on a Saturday to remove them. Vicodin didn’t save his weekend.
In this video: an ophthalmologist dreaming of the naps he used to have, before being woken up by the ICU nurse to code another unvaccinated COVID patient.

As a family doctor of 23 years, Seeing (no pun) how much patients lose from their lives when they go blind it’s got to be one of the worst things that can happen, short of terminal cancer. Some get quite depressed. I know I’d be. Were I not 59 I’d go back to school to be an eye guy like you just to help these people as much as I can.
Me now, after visiting my Ophtalmologist yesterday: Imaging my Doctor is doing yt shorts too, is enough for my brain xD (btw. I love your shorts and like your name :D bc i have Glaucoma too xD)
I have a detached retina at 27. I have had three surgeries and am on to my 4th. I think it redetaches because I'm watching this handsome man way too much.
Bruh, I wish I could to ophthalmology but my brain decided “The human brain? Coool. A human heart? Fucking amazing, let me hold it. Eyes. Brain: EW Ew EW ew EWWWWW GET IT AWAYYYYYYYYY *shivers*”
My eye doctor is my favorite. He doesn’t tell me I have to lose weight or floss. Also as a Customer Service person I can sleep in until 11 and it is amazing
Work-life balance is subjective and depends also on where you work. Ophthalmology in some hospitals in my country is very busy with a lot of emergency / urgency cases. Same for Family Medicine and ER, some places it's quite and less stressful, in some it's very busy with a big number of patients.
Or general surgery would be good. Surgeon I saw works 3 days (no on call, weekend, or holiday calls) a week and 75% of his huge income is from the company that makes the LINX. 2 days he see patients from 8 - 12, one day for procedures. Which I wasn't a candidate for. He only does gerd surgery. Nothing else. Well mine was a blown esophagus LES, but the gerd surgery of wrapping the stomach was what he did.
Don't tempt me, I plan to go to Medical school down the road after I get my Master's in Engineering just for funsies. I completed my Bachelor's this coming week! Woooo!

I think only derm and ophtho can beet anesthesia in terms of work life balance. U get paid to be on ur phone during surgery, can take breaks in between, and get 8~10 weeks off
Hey Dr. Glaucomflecken! I’m not opposed to hard work but when did you get to start taking 12:30 naps on Tuesdays? Was this a recent development? How soon into your specialty did you get to have any sort of naps? Did these opportunities make themselves available in residency?
Work life nap balance is important
You are de-conditioned from all the work-life balance you get to enjoy !! Love your vids, doc ❤❤
Awww ♥️ And don't forget spending time with your lovely baby girl
that's what work life balance has been missing the whole time - nap
@Fishing and Freedom Fiend There is an old saying something along the lines of "A good solider naps/sleeps whenever he gets the chance." (idea being that something may happen that will keep you up for days).
As a college student, this is accurate.
Even thought i get 8 hours a night, I still choose to nap for like 2 hours
