“Jack of all trades, master of none” is a poor characterization of EM physicians. They are the masters of resuscitation and treating the undifferentiated patient. Handling emergencies IS their speciality.
Good point mitch
Thank you, as an EM resident I resent being called jack of all trades. oh the insult and disrespect!
@@odesialowe6908 No problem! I don't think it's said out of disrespect often, but it is definitely inaccurate and worth correcting!
@@PoorManStJohn really? which state are you from? you dont need to specify anything in particular, but as he said in the video, the hourly pay for em is *very* diverse
im about to become a resident next year and really interested in taking up em! any words of advice?
I would say Anesthesia probably is a master of resuscitation in a way as well! Also, Idk if EM is MORE of a master of diagnosing/treating undifferentiated patients as IM/FM. I think all 3 are capable of treating undifferentiated patients, but EM has to do it more rapidly, and they have access to most tools they need in any moment, where as an IM / FM doc may have the same DDx on their list as the EM Docs, but due to lack of an inhouse lab outpatient, and need for them to go to a pharmacy rather than ordering a drug that is immediately given, they just have to go slower unfortunately. Otherwise, agreed! Two people can master one thing.
“Jack of all trades, master on none, but oftentimes better than a master of one” I think the full quote is more accurate to EM doctors
I'd say EM docs are the masters of stabilization
Lmaooo ok guy
Exactly
Doctors don't know shit. Medication and doctors have one thing in common. They both kill you!!!!
@@HowieDoIt93 arguable but that could also be given to mid-tier and even lower-tier providers (NP, PA, RN, NRP, and EMT)
Can you do " so you want to be a pediatrician" or anything related to pediatrics
I agree with you
artzy craftzy OMG me to
Exactly
Yea

Can you do "So you want to be an ob/gyn"
Yes!!!

So happy this video exists
I always wanted to pursue emergency medicine and had so many questions but never had someone to answer them
This video is perfect
When I graduate highschool and move onto bigger things, Emergency Mecicine and Radiology are my favorite.
Omg thank you so much was needing this badly. Could you also do a 'so you want to be a pediatrician' or something simmilar please? Thank you for the grat vid😇
“A jack of all trades is a master of none, but oftentimes better than a master of one.”
You went into EM because you want the thrill of saving lives; I went into EM because of the uncompetitive residency and ease of landing a job.
I want to become an emergency medicine doctor in the future.
Watching this video made me excited.
Will love to see an episode for critical care doctors
Hey there .. i'm an indian fan i watch your video . They are very informative. i wantt to become an opthalmologist in america . Can you please make a video on 'so you want to become an opthalmologist!!'

What is the difference between emergency medicine doctor and emergency physician
They're the same
Please do “so you want to be an Anesthesiologist “. PLEASEEEEE
This videos are great! Thank you so much!!
If I went into medicine, I would probably look at EM.

Anesthesiologist nexxxxt plss

Could you do PM & R please? :)
which one you want to be ???
Do EM physicians spend a lot of time charting?
Probably more than any other specialty
Can you please enlighten about Being a Pathologist? Please please !!
Having been an emergency physician for 16 years, I must point out that this video is largely accurate except two crucial oversights. First, we are indeed jack of all trades, but we are not experts of none. The reason is why Emergency Medicine is a specialty recognized by ABMS is because we are experts of resuscitation, bringing patient from one side of life back to the other side. Resuscitation is not the same as stabilization. Your second cucial oversight is our well recognized ability to intubate in the most chaotic situations, whereas Anesthesia and Intensivitist in general do not. Tsk Tsk.
Emergency medicine is my goal :-)
@@matthewlanglands6943
Same man.
Currently in love with the idea of becoming one, I hope someday i'll be one of you, thank you for saving lives❤
I think you know when you’ve found your chosen specialty when everything in the video makes you excited!
I felt very same think as you did. Good luck in the EM field. ❤️
I was debating between a trauma surgeon or em and after watching Im pretty sure I want to be an em
I feel the same way! Good luck :)
Same!!
Same way!
I’m an EM resident. We like to say “jack of all trades, master of SOME”. We are masters at resuscitation, triage, and making quick decisions with limited information.
do emergency medicine doctors work in the ER?
@@therandomcroissantd8879yes they are the ones who usually run it
@@therandomcroissantd8879yes
@@therandomcroissantd8879 ........ buddy thats the only place they work

Can you do “so you want to be an ANESTHESIOLOGIST.”
Been waiting for it and I always think of @KristinaBraly
Nine Cookies yes I love her!
I clicked on ‘comments’ to comment this! Only to see that someone already has😂🤞🏽
Very informative! Hope to see a video about anesthesiologists soon
"So you want to be an oncologist?" PLEASE!!
"So you want to be a Psychyatrist" PLEASE
There's a video on 'A day in life of a psychiatrist' if that helps
Me as a freshmen in high school;
yea imma become a ER doctor y not seems fun right?
me after completing my med school and starting residency;
Yep this is what I call fun
Could you please describe....what you had expected vs what it actually was??
I am a high school student and I am interested in this field...it would be really helpful.
Thank you. Have a great day!
Sarcasm or not? It's really hard to tell
Can you do a “So you want to be a Radiologist/Interventional Radiologist?”
Some of the things I like the most about being an EM resident are the connections and humanity you have with the patients, they come with anything more than symptoms and history to tell you, and it's your work to convert in a diagnose (even is only a syndromic diagnose) and give an answer to them, so you have to make an excellent medical- patient relationship and have a high suspicious of what's happening. I love my job, and my advice is in ED every day is different, and you have to live this every day in awareness, some days are good, some of them are bad, some diagnoses are not "interest enough" and later become your first prioritization in the whole shift, everything can change in a minute. (and please, don't put attention to what other specialists say, every one of them depends on us).
"everyone of them depends on us"
In year 4/6 of medschool in Nairobi, think I found what to do after internship .
Can you do "so you want to be a cardiothoracic surgeon"?
Yes I agree
Yes, please
Yes 🙏🏼
Yes please!!!!
this👏🏻is👏🏻my👏🏻future👏🏻 just thinking about being in emergency medicine makes me so freaking excited like i get chills when i think about it!! i cannot wait.
I had the privilege of shadowing an emergency medicine physician at one of the best hospitals in the US. Let me tell you, one of the smartest, most genuine, and humble guys you’ll ever meet. A little bit intimidating being premed knowing I’m speaking to a guy with knowledge and expertise far beyond what I could dream of. At this hospital, which i also work at as a PCA, they rotate working in EVERY department in the ED. For anyone with knowledge of EDs you know just how different each department can be and how impressive it is to go from treating someone who just got hit by a train to someone with chest pain in the same week. These guys are so brilliant AND personable. They have to think on their feet, be the final decision makers on life altering decisions, and lead everyone around them. Obviously the nurses, residents, and PAs are brilliant in their own right however, being THE GUY everyone turns to in the most dire and stressful circumstances is a privilege we have in the medical field. These doctors work hard to get to where they are at but I do believe some are just born for it. Jack of all trades is a great description. Their brain is build different 🧠
Damn I literally felt like you were describing me when speaking about the character traits of an EM doctor. Thanks for this video im feeling more and more certain about what specialty I want to be in 😁
Do, “So You Want To Be A Pediatric Surgeon?”
Could you, please, do “so you want to be an oncologist”?
Can you do “so you want to be a radiologist?”
Yes !!
No need they are being replaced.
@@user-lu6yg3vk9z not true
@@user-lu6yg3vk9z I disagree
Believe it or not they are going to be replaced. My dad is an emergency medicine doctor and he says that computers are already beginning to take over radiologist jobs
The only ED doc I know fits the stereotype at 6:00 so perfectly. Outdoorsman, runs ultra marathons, and rock climbs hahahahaha
Pretty much all the ED docs I've come across are very fit lol!
Awesome videos!! I remember you did "pediatrics" in your video about the "least competitive specialties" but I'd like to hear more about it in a more detailed video! Especially about the lifestyle, dealing with parents, and the work hours. Again, thanks for the amazing content!
totally agree!!!!
I’m a 17 year old Emt. It’s my dream to become an EM
In our md training in iran we had 28 days on this rotation . That was nightmare . 2 days 12 hours day shift . 2 days 12 hours night shift . 2 days off .
Same!!! I’m 17 and will be becoming an EMT this school year to help me go into EM one day!
Same here I'm 18
I had that same dream as a 19y.o. EMT. Now I'm a 24, a paramedic, finally finishing my bachelors in EM (Look into Pitt) and concurrently getting my MPH. Can't wait for my future as an EMS doc. See ya there kid.
@@Zac-mq4pn in currently an emt student as well as undergrad student. Is it hard to manage both emt/paramedic school and undergrad and how many hours did you average a semester. Thanks!
You should do “so you want to be an Infectious Disease specialist!”
Yes please! Future epidemiologist here!
Yeeeeeees
One time I was shadowing an international medicine doctor and he told me that if you can work at FedEx, you can be an ER doc. “All you do is ship them up.”
I was too scared to say “and make sure they don’t die!”
Sounds rather egotistical
80% primary care, 10% dealing with specialists, maybe 10% emergencies.
Definitely depends on where you are. I’m an ortho PGY-1 at major hospital and am friends with EM residents, and I would say they probably deal with 40% emergencies. Unfortunately EM has evolved into a speciality that people abuse for primary care reasons..kinda why I didn’t enjoy my rotation in it during 3rd year
@@Fandomonium456 in an ED i rotated in as a pediatric resident, they would give children immunizations in the ED if they are using it for primary care
@@Fandomonium456 It may seem like that, but no they don't. 10% is a pretty generous estimation (in non-COVID times).
@Rene Ayala It isn't. All medicine is mostly routine & occasionally extreme. I'd say this is a higher percentage than any other non-operative specialty.
So you want to be an anesthesiologist 👨🏽⚕️ Can you please do this one next 🥺🥺🥺🥺🥺🥺🥺🥺🥺
My daughter is a board certified ER physican and all I know she works long hours and never gets enough sleep……… So proud of her
This makes me laugh because you literally described me.. ADD, wants to know all the things and love hiking and outdoors. I’ve been all over the place in the medical field. I think it’s for me
As an ED doc for 21 years, I can say the exciting trauma and resuscitation stuff is pretty rare. The bread and butter of EM is undifferentiated abdominal pain and chest pain, weak and dizzy seniors, and access issues for patients who don't have family physicians. If you like those, you'll like EM. But if you're expecting excitement, you are deluding yourself, and once you get accepted into an EM residency and complete it, you are invested in the specialty a great deal by the time you find out what you really signed up for!
Would you say the "bread and butter" part is a perk for people who enjoy routine and a lack of surprises in their career? I'm trying to map out my future application plans and I'm wondering if EM is a good choice, especially regarding the massive flee from the specialty that happened this past cycle.
Can you do “ so you want to be an internal medicine doctor”
Thank you so much for making this video man. Becoming an ED physician's my dream and your video really cleared a lot of thing yo for me and motivated me more to become one.
So you want to be an INTENSIVIST?
Could you do a So you want to be an Anesthesiologist please?
I find the saying that EM docs are the second best doctor to be inaccurate and frankly somewhat offensive. An EM doc is a master resuscitationolgist, a specialist in emergency medicine. She will often be better in an emergency than the corresponding specialist. If you have an emergency of any kind, you're probably better off being treated by an EM doc than by any other specialist.
Once the patient is stabilized and processed - call in the specialist to do their thing.
One like and Med school insider will do “so you want to be a pediatrician”
"So you want to be an Anesthesiologist" next pls!!!
Please do CARDIOVASCULAR/CARDIO SURGERY
No need they will replaced with machines.
Mention midlevels scope creep next time
Oncology would be interesting.
Can you do "so you want to specialize in PM&R "
"So you want to be an OPHTHALMOLOGIST" Thank you!
Huge respect for medical staff especially during this pandemic they are our heroes
i am a middle schooler and i definitely want to work in medicine. my 3 main specialties i cant decide between are Emergency medicine, Cardiology, and Pediatrics. every time i take one of those silly quiz's or even just talk about it to people, im always told i would make a great emergency doctor.
I’m a 22 year old and want to do it too perhaps! Keep On Keepin On!!!!!
I hope I can possibly do this one day I’m not sure though
I’m 15 when I was 6 I saw somebody fall off a building and they got an arterial bleed on their head I helped them and got an ambulance
Once the ambulance was with them I walked halfway to were I was going and fainted so hopefully I would have gotten over that
Can you do “so you want to be a gastroenterologist”
Also what its like to be in a position such as a manager in a hospital.
Hi Dr. Jubbal! Can you do the Internal medicine specialties like Nephrology, Endocrinology, Infectious Disease, Pulmonology, Gastroenterology etc.?
Pls do so u wanna be oncologist
Can you do anthologist next?
So what you’re saying is that if there’s an apocalypse EMs are the most valuable. Cool, I know what I’m doing.
These videos are super helpful, thanks so much for making them!
Ik this is a dumb question but is a EM doctor a ER doctor? Is it the same but different wording?
I've been looking forward to this video, thank you!
Watching this video was like a checklist of all the things I'd want to do as a physician.
Can you do 'so you want to drop medical school?'
Can you do “So you want to be a otolaryngologist” please
