Being an intern is terrible, but since you've just started no one really expects anything from you. What terrifies me now is the day when the new interns come and I become responsible for me and them!!
@@mrobject9113 literally saw this today. This culture needs to stop. I don't think it makes for better clinicians, just burnt out ones quicker. The job is hard enough without it coming from people you should be supported by

Question Doc, if you dont mind. If "poor R wave progression" is on an EKG, does that mean you need to worry about another anteroseptal MI in that same spot.
@@chrism6904 Hi i believe that if there is already poor r wave progression present then the myocardium anteroseptal is already dead. However if you are worried about a new acute infarct/ischemia then you should look at your st segments (if there elevated or depressed then you should probably worry about it and get the patient an angiogram). Hope this helps
@chrism6904 please never get medical advice from someone in the youtube comments purely because they said "haha I'm a reg this is so accurate" I mean they probably are but for all you know, they're an ED reg and their knowledge of r wave progression is "send them to cardiology and give them ACS meds" best case
OMG “i will need you to lead the way like I’m a small child that doesn’t know the way around but will be extremely upset when you won’t take the most efficient route possible “ I died
When I was a med student I had a surgery attending got mad I took the stairs up ONE FLIGHT instead of the elevator because we "couldn't discuss patients." Did he tell me this? No, he bitched about it to the resident on with me who kindly let me know 🤦🤷
Teaching is like this too. Lesson plans for college teaching classes intended ONLY to be read by college professors in teaching must be written as if they have never seen a classroom before.
@@sophfro Considering that you shouldn't be discussing pts in the elevator anyway, particularly if other people get on or off, that's extra rude to you.
This is painfully accurate. As an experienced nurse of 30+ years, sadly, not much has changed. The very worst of the pecking order. I understand pressure under fire, but seriously?!
I think this is one of the first videos that I actually knew a drug that you referenced to. I feel just a little smarter now. Lol thank you for you skits and uploads
Why do we tolerate this institutionalised abuse of those junior to us? It brings everyone down. So infantile. And it certainly does not help patients (which is why we are meant to exist).

Fwiw, after her stroke, my mom cycled through alternating periods of 2-3 days of delusion and 1-2 days of lucidity for 2 months until I finally coaxed them to discontinue the only med she hadn't been on prior to the stroke: Hydralazine. The cycles make sense when you think about it: hypertension->Hydralazine->delusion->no food or water->dehydration->hypotension->temp suspension of Hydralazine->lucidity->eat and drink->back to hypertension->.... Unfortunately, her doctors DIDN'T think about it. Don't know whether it was the Hydralazine by itself (a gerontology textbook implicated it) or it was just the anticholinergic straw that broke the camel's back, but she was never again delusional.
"I'll need you to lead me around like I'm a child who's never been in this hospital before, but I'll still get upset if you don't take the most efficient route possible"
Do you live in the US or Europe? Don't worry, then. you'll be fine. They go on 80 hour weeks, barely know how to use a stethoscope, and see less than 30 patients a day.
Watching your videos in a new light after needing emergency surgery recently and just got out of the hospital, tried really hard to make it easy for the nurses but god I just wanted to hibernate in a cave
As someone who has unfortunately been the victim or co-victim of 5AM rounds I can definitely see this happening! I would have like 5 questions to ask but unless I wrote them down I would never remember!! I was just woken up!! I think they do this on purpose!! Nah.....😜
I go into the hospital on March 7 for surgery. My diagnosis is Stenosis of the Cervical Spine With Myelopathy, my surgery is a Cervical Spine Laminectomy Decompression Surgery. My surgeon is really great, but the next day, he comes in with a group of students after many of my surgeries, it never fails, lol this will make 4 out of 5 surgeries so far......they have to learn some how!!!! This dude in the video is hilarious!!!! 👍🏻😁🏥🚑😷🤒
"Wildly specific, but ultimately irrelevant and meaningless, questions..." Word for word how one of my best friends explained every attending he had to interact with.
Omg way too accurate. When I was a senior the inpatient director for my program (FM) wanted to get rid of seniors stating that we don't do anything and should carry patients....
My favorite is all the Dr's who call me in I.T. and ask me how to log in and where tabs are lol. I don't mind helping with log ins, but tabs and stuff catch me up. I do epic and cerner, hospital and patient, and every department. Remembering where a specific item in the chart is for a specific job title is a bit difficult. Normally I just remote in and start clicking random things until we find it or give up lol. (I always make sure their charts are saved before I do this haha).
it tip: if a website doesn't "work on the phone" you can switch to the desktop view from your browser's menu and see the computer version of the website
I'm assuming it's not a website, but specific software only accessable on computers in the hospital due to HIPPA reasons? I'm not IT, but I don't think it's that simple as switching to desktop view on your phone..
In my daughter's first week as a final year med student her supervisor was a brand new F1 due to my daughter intercalating they were actually from the same class back in 4th year. The two of them were covering nights on the ward. Apparently it was a mess of the two of them deciding together what to do, both as clueless as the other. It went ok but yeah never be in hospital in August and September in UK or if you are be sick enough to be on HDU or higher.
When i was an intern i wasn't that knowledgeable. I didn't even know what Hydralazine is used for. It is rarely used for hypertension. So this guy is very good for an intern. I am dumb.
We had one orthopaedic consultant (That's what we call our attending doctors) who would make the junior staff go to the ground floor then walk up to the ninth floor every time they doubled back. He did it with them and everything, but it did mean he very rarely took a non optimized route!
Feels good having done junior residency in internal medicine (and depending on the various senior residents there) and then moving onto radiation oncology...where no junior residents are present 😁
you've singlehandedly fixed it so that I know where going on behind the scenes in a hospital and also fixed it so that I will never stay in one even if it's to save my life 🧬
so funny, the RN i was training asked me about giving hydralazine for high blood pressure and I said the exact thing to give labetolol instead because heart rate was elevated too
Sounds like a residency at large teaching hospital, that also does research .

Being a resident seems tough. Until you become an attending and the patient's life and ultimate choice of management is up to you.

@@mohammadrayyan7851 yeah that’s why it’s terrifying!
That's the secret, cap. It's ALL terrible
It's like all attendings went to some conference to learn how to treat their residents like this! haha
Like weren't they in training once before? Does a day come where they brain wipe them?
They do those because it's cyclical, they were treated this way so they treat the next ones down the line the same way.
