For all the new interns, just remember, every bad thing you are afraid of will 100% happen to you this year. While scary now, later on that realization will become liberating.
Lol, it was like my first day of nursing clinical. I Pressed the "nurse assist" button and all the nurses came running into the room. Apparently, the button is used as a "mini code". It was mortifying lol.
🤣 pretty much the same thing for nurses. I hope there’s more support then this tho as an RN. That doc was like, “don’t call me!” Like no! I need your advice
Yup, that's how it goes. My first day as intern was a 24h-shift in a big university hospital. My computer log-in didn't work, my badge didn't work, and I slept on a chair in the corridor because I couldn't find my room... Thankfully the ICU resident who was on duty that night was super nice and told me I could call him anytime if I needed help. Needless to say I woke him up several times in a panic because I didn't know what to do with my patients... Cried a lot that night. Not exactly the best experience I've had on the job ^^"
Oh wow. You cried. I could be wrong, but I'm guessing you never worked in a fastfood restaurant. It's the same thing except no one is going to die, but there's a good chance that if you mess up bad enough you will get fired.
well, Good luck with your practise ,there will be a lot of crying and self doubt ,but you will reach your destination. And saving lives gives the biggest boost . 💐
Your reaction shows that you care. Thank you for choosing medicine. I hope you have a long, productive career, and that you can be for others what that resident was for you.
@Nerd Absolutely. As A Student nurse end of my first year( Many Years Ago) Put in charge of 12 sick patients.. We were short Staffed… On a 12 hour Night Shift.., It’s Gobsmackingly Terrifying to know one is responsible for these People’s lives… !!!! In my Country we Still DO NOT have intercoms or load speakers Making regular Announcements For Doctors who are on call for emergencies… We had to try track them down with Pagers…. No cell phones in those days… And Many times they were Sooo Grumpy.. Looking back understand they were on call for very much longer… Than our 7 days of Night Shift… 12 hour Shifts…
My first job as a graduate RN took me off orientation way early because someone called out. They asked me if I had an issue with taking the sick nurse's assignment. I was terrified but said yes because I didn't want to be fired. Just like that I was given 24 patients. I was not in complete control of everything around me
Another appropriate expectations vs reality skit: expecting to see lots of interesting patients with valid inpatient medical issues, but then mostly dealing with patients waiting for weeks on end for placement to rehab and nursing homes.
Ugh, then finally getting everything done, only the the insurance to declare they're now too recovered to go to rehab so you have to start from scratch to get them home, delaying everything for another three days or so.
Mr. Jones' order for Dilaudid was accurate. I kid you not, some of my patients on narcotics had timers for their medications and press the call light incessantly leading up to that time. I saw most nurses try to punish said patients by taking their sweet time, then I met an RN who had her own timer and beat them to the punch. Said patients had zero problems thereafter.
Because the attitude is that ANYONE taking opioids for pain are drug abusers. I live on less than what manages my pain so damn straight I’m on top of it when I can get my next dose. I hope those who deny pain patients their meds based on personal biases have to deal with untreated chronic pain in the future. Sorry not sorry.
Isn't there a device that automatically gives you a dose every so often? I remember having a little button I'd press and morphine would come out that thing was great 😃
@@jeanetteasmyself442 Exactly! It's hard enough to deal with legitimate pain but those who judge other in pain have no idea what they're going through. Plus, that should be between me and my doctor. The nurse should not be giving her opinion on stuff like that cuz it's not her health. Also long as there is no valid reason for serious concerns.
A nurse told me I needed to get all off the pain meds cuz I'm gonna get addicted, right after having a huge multiple level spinal fusion surgery. That is ranked as one of top 2 or 3 medical procedures or pains to have done. I've been diligently and compliant on taking pain meds for 20+yrs. This nurse knew for for only an hour at that point. When I told my surgeon that, he was pissed that she stuck her nose where it didn't belong and had a "conversation" with her. And he's a really sweet, nice doctor too.
@@CynthiasTikka Even if it’s legit health concerns, those issues were discussed with me and my doctor and we did a cost risk analysis. Anyone, and I mean anyone, including the CDC with their bullshit, is not privy to that conversation and deserves no input. It’s between my doctor and myself alone.
On my first dayJuly 1,1994, the pagers didn’t have displays. They just had a static sound followed by the page operator announcing what number to call. Sometime overnight I slept through a page and woke to the pager still vibrating on the table. I called the operator who didn’t know who I was. I called around the hospital. Then I walked all over the hospital, basically making rounds again to try to find out who paged me. I became hysterical. By morning report I still didn’t know, but I was very prepared. It was a long time before I could even doze off on call again.
@@carolinevillemaire4339 i an of the Palm pilot generation but my first weeks I had a backpack full of reference textbooks. Nurses madr fun of me but everything was in there. Uprodate is a godsend
@@carolinevillemaire4339 back in India we had to depend on clinical history, exam and X rays for most diagnosis in 1994. We looked up meds dosages in a drug manual. We did well. I think technology crippled our clinical skills and judgement. Now a radiologist practicing north America, things are completely different. Its changed in India too probably.
First night as an intern: Code blue on a non-teaching pt. who weighed at least 450 lbs. lying on 2 beds they had bolted together. Had to climb up on top of him to do CPR. Vigorous compression produced no pulse. Put a needle in his pericardial space and sucked out 100 cc of clear, pale yellow fluid. Got a pulse with compressions but couldn't restore a productive rhythm. Traumatic beginning for the journey.

Yeah, the July 1 glow of being a newly minted doctor and the reality is a wake-up call. Worse though was January. Days were dark. Depression was real. In to the hospital in the dark, home after dark. Sixish months done, and too damn many to go.
I agree with you 100%. How do they expect doctors and nurses to do their jobs right when so much responsibilities are on their shoulders. Guess what happens? Jobs are left undone, patients do not get their needs met as they should, the doctors and nurses are stressed out and can't perform well. This needs to stop, for real. This is causing many healthcare workers to leave the profession, especially those who have passion for it.
Actually this is every new intern’s reality on day one. Your pager goes off 3 times in 3 minutes, you are covering a huge list of patients, you are on call overnight covering the entire floor of patients you are not familiar with (because they are not your patients, you are just covering overnight), and also you have to see patients in ER whilst covering the already admitted patients. Even a call as simple as “patient requesting sleep medication” can be an ordeal because you’d have to review the patient and the chart to ensure there are no contraindications. Yup. This is pretty accurate and pretty universal experience.
@@lydiademarek we use a lot more of it than is good for anybody where I work :P we have patients who come in just for their Dilaudid/Benadryl/Phenergan cocktail.
Looool I'm currently wrapping up internship and this is relatable af. Different ppl barking orders and calling u from all sides of the hospital fir certain tasks, not knowing what is where, half the equipment not working...
I'm an MA in Family Medicine who recently transitioned to Care Coordination. I worked the clinic floor for years. Love working with our Residents, especially our Interns. They're so young and eager...and have a lot to learn. It's fun teaching them the ins and outs of how things really work and watching them grow in their profession.
"It was Mr. Jones's bad luck that he was checked into this hospital. When he asked me later if I could get him a rock hammer, I didn't think too much of it." 🤣
I am a physician who qualified 1992. I can relate so much. I still get nightmares. I hear them shouting "doctor... doctor- was so over being a doctor in one day - and when I gave my beeper back a year later - it was an amazing freedom. We would work 29hours on end without sleep. It was rough.
As someone near the end of her intern year, here's my message for the new interns: you *WILL* f*ck up. You will get yelled at and punished for your mistakes and others. It's an stressfull year, but it's also the year of the most learning your will ever do, you get to make new friends with the whole hospital staff (from the cleaning lad to your attending), find out what specialty you would like to go, truly live a doctor's life before having the complete responsability of it, connect with your patients. Just read and read again, but don't forget to sleep and go out with your friends and collegues. This year has been a blast for me, I hope yours is 10 times better.
My first personal experience with Dilaudid was during the process of clearing a steinstrassa. I broke the tablet into quarters, put 1/4 under tongue to dissolve and swallowed the remainder. Got relief in a minute or so and it would last 3hr. Always tried to extend the 3 hr. to see whether the pain recurred and sometimes I made it an additional hr. and sometimes I didn't. Then it was like throwing a switch: No pain one minute and a minute later severe pain and the process repeated for 3 days. I knew it would happen exactly that way but when it was happening to me, I found it really interesting. It's just like the books say: You still know you're having pain but you don't care...you're comfortable.
Just past the 6 month mark as an RN. Started just before omnicron. I'm finally (within the last 2 weeks) feeling mostly on top of things and can look back at the first 3 months and finally see myself in this. So. Many things to juggle and so many medically unstable people I just didn't know what to do with. Living on adrenaline was not fun.
Add- into this mess every, single New Admit yelling for their "Nutrition Orders" before dinner is over😡!!! That is always the Patients' very FIRST concern🥗😋~:)
@@zarasamuels9377 One of the hospitals in my area has the option of a turkey sandwich if you don't want either of the 2 regular options and OMG it's the best sandwich for some reason. 😂 I have dreamed of that sandwich before and woke up wondering if I needed to be in the hospital just so I could have one.
oh. muh. GAWWWWWD! Nearly busted a gut laughing for the first half. Followed by evil heh heh😏 for the second half. Suuuuuch a good vid Doc. More please!😆
Oh no..I just started watching you since yesterday..And now I realize docs of all over the world have same life😂..I have just completed my internship. #India
I still remember I was so excited on my first intern day that I arrived at the hospital half an hour early, only to find the on call recident was charting, and he said "wow, you come so early", and I did NOTHING that day because the doctor was on holiday.😅
This may be cleverly relatable to those in the medical industry and it's done so very well, but from a patient's point of view it's frightening to think how stressed and rushed the whole system is, not even taking into account the whole administrative side, insurance, private equity, benefit managers, etc. It's a colossal mess. When will it ever be corrected? Will be always accept this messed up system?
I'm over here getting burnt out in Phlebotomy working 70 hour weeks of frequent doubles...and an ER doc tells me not to become a doctor because then I might have to work blocks of 48 hours back to back with cat naps! Is that even legal? Are doctors human? Anyhow great vid
The idea that interns are left alone on the first day is horrifying. I didn't get left unsupervised for more than 30 minutes my first day in my current job and I'm only keeping PLANTS alive!
Intern walked into my room and started telling me about surgical procedures that the hospital used that were not factually true. When the attending came in I told her what he was saying and she corrected him and sent him away. I then counseled the attending about letting interns in a patient rooms unsupervised.
It sounds like trying to get a good idea of the layout of the hospital when you're not stressed/before you start might help just a little. Like a map and a walk around so you're kind of familiar with the layout?
Your hospital privileges are specific to the period of your placement there so often your access only start on the day of your job. Prior to that you wouldn’t have access to some floors etc since you have to buzz in through doors for certain floors etc. It’s not like you can waltz in and give yourself a tour.
@@hollyl5702 can’t imagine how that would be feasible. You don’t get your badge until you are actually working there. Your badge is what you’d use to buzz in to get to the floors.
As a home health nurse I had to deliver lab specimens . This hospital was built around railroad tracks. No one told me that you had to go to third floor to get her to the other side of the hospital .
I’m not a doctor, I’m just a nurse, but I went through similar when I first started. I looked around in my first emergency and was like I need a nurse, just to facepalm myself, I am the nurse!
More like expectation before 4 years of undergrad as a pre-med vs after all the clinical hours you need to even get into med school 😅 Did some shifts in a level 1 trauma center to get my EMT certification and it was barely organized chaos, doing everything I could to help the nurses, and getting yelled at by patients. In a weird way, I loved it though, and that's why I'm still premed 🤷🏻♀️
*Newbie doc tries way too hard to wake up the intubated ARDS patient* "Does.. he respond?" *He's on nimbex* "Does he respond though? *blood pressure rises*
It’s “funny” because it’s true. This is the norm for all doctors (and presumably nurses). This is how often we are overloaded with tasks and paged by nurses, and called to code, and called by ER for new patients. This is why we (unintentionally) give the impression we are cold and don’t “care enough to get a cup of water”. And don’t forget all of this whilst not having had any sleep in the last 24 hours some days.
Lol the rare infection and know exactly what drugs and dose to give, medical drama loool I always feel like i am a failure everytime i watch medical drama
Hahahahahaha! Last time I was in the ER, there were two codes that kept getting called every 30 minutes. One was code blue. The other wasn't a code...something about a trauma team stat...idk, I work in vet med.
Rapid Response maybe? lol I once heard a code gray get called on another floor once (I was a nursing student); that's a combative patient. Or whatever color combative meant in that hospital, though I'm pretty sure it was gray.
hahahahaah the "i'm in complete control of everything around me" made laugh out loud so hard lol
That was absolutely perfect.

I still remember I was so excited on my first intern day that I arrived at the hospital half an hour early, only to find the on call recident was charting, and he said "wow, you come so early", and I did NOTHING that day because the doctor was on holiday.😅
So good as always!
For real dr Schmidt is one of the most underrated YT channels
This may be cleverly relatable to those in the medical industry and it's done so very well, but from a patient's point of view it's frightening to think how stressed and rushed the whole system is, not even taking into account the whole administrative side, insurance, private equity, benefit managers, etc. It's a colossal mess. When will it ever be corrected? Will be always accept this messed up system?
Dude your videos are so freaking hilarious…You really show how it goes down in a hospital setting😂😂😂
You forgot about setting off door alarms
So funny! All those code blues ... tough for interns but you all rock. From RN 😋
I’m screaming intern year starts in June and I’m already surrendering myself to whatever happens guys
I love the “complete control” pt 🤣
I'm over here getting burnt out in Phlebotomy working 70 hour weeks of frequent doubles...and an ER doc tells me not to become a doctor because then I might have to work blocks of 48 hours back to back with cat naps! Is that even legal? Are doctors human? Anyhow great vid
The idea that interns are left alone on the first day is horrifying. I didn't get left unsupervised for more than 30 minutes my first day in my current job and I'm only keeping PLANTS alive!
Just finished M1 year but and I’m going to continue pretending this isn’t going to be my life in just 3 years.
Hey, look on the bright side, you could be one of the thousands of graduating doctors that don't match!
@@lachyt5247 😂
Omg i was in stitches. This guy is a genius.
Intern walked into my room and started telling me about surgical procedures that the hospital used that were not factually true. When the attending came in I told her what he was saying and she corrected him and sent him away. I then counseled the attending about letting interns in a patient rooms unsupervised.
Legend has it the patient in room 434 is still coding to this day.
This is so true. Even in most first day jobs. I wish it was all peachy, but yeah…reality.
Hahahhahaha the way code blue keeps comin in 😂😂😂😂
I have some serious belly laughs when I watch your videos. The accuracy 😂
It sounds like trying to get a good idea of the layout of the hospital when you're not stressed/before you start might help just a little. Like a map and a walk around so you're kind of familiar with the layout?
Your hospital privileges are specific to the period of your placement there so often your access only start on the day of your job. Prior to that you wouldn’t have access to some floors etc since you have to buzz in through doors for certain floors etc. It’s not like you can waltz in and give yourself a tour.
@@cocopeas1004 wasn't sure if you could request one or anything.. that seems like an easy extra thing to do to help your staff.
@@hollyl5702 can’t imagine how that would be feasible. You don’t get your badge until you are actually working there. Your badge is what you’d use to buzz in to get to the floors.
As a home health nurse I had to deliver lab specimens . This hospital was built around railroad tracks. No one told me that you had to go to third floor to get her to the other side of the hospital .
I’m not a doctor, I’m just a nurse, but I went through similar when I first started. I looked around in my first emergency and was like I need a nurse, just to facepalm myself, I am the nurse!
The first few days are hell , but then it gets better. 😊
More like expectation before 4 years of undergrad as a pre-med vs after all the clinical hours you need to even get into med school 😅 Did some shifts in a level 1 trauma center to get my EMT certification and it was barely organized chaos, doing everything I could to help the nurses, and getting yelled at by patients. In a weird way, I loved it though, and that's why I'm still premed 🤷🏻♀️
I'm an intern and my first rotation was emergency let me tell you I was so lost the first weeks
To be honest, both of those really stressed me out.
"Look it's the doctor. Hurray for the doctor" 😂😂
The part where the nurse leaves and you have to do her / his work as well is so relatable 😅
This guy is my new favorite
That was not my expectation as an intern, maybe as a 1st year med student after watching too much Grey's anatomy
This is soooooooo sooooooo relatable 😂😂😂😂😂 but the truth is internship is the best days of a doctor's life I feel❤️
*Newbie doc tries way too hard to wake up the intubated ARDS patient*
"Does.. he respond?"
*He's on nimbex*
"Does he respond though?
*blood pressure rises*
True to life indeed. Funny as u see it but horrible as it's relatable 🤣
Outstanding!! Please do 'Pensioners' next?
about to start residency in about 4days...yikes
What's the problem with the code blue? Just walk in, pronounce time of death, walk out - takes 10 seconds.
Is that Dr. Schmidt saying Code Blue in that voice 😂
This was golden 😂
You have the bedside manner that many DRs will never achieve!
Starting IM Residency with 1 week of night float. Hopefully it goes as smooth as the first half of the video
Good luck! Here’s hoping 🤞🏻
@@Doc_Schmidt I'll keep you posted haha
So doctors of all specialties have this experience and during the peak covid time could have manned tge ICUs?
And so the tragic saga of Mr. Jones began...😢😭😫
I know this is supposed to be funny but it’s quite scary for anyone who has lost someone unexpectedly while in the ICU
It’s “funny” because it’s true. This is the norm for all doctors (and presumably nurses). This is how often we are overloaded with tasks and paged by nurses, and called to code, and called by ER for new patients. This is why we (unintentionally) give the impression we are cold and don’t “care enough to get a cup of water”. And don’t forget all of this whilst not having had any sleep in the last 24 hours some days.
He went full House lmao
Wow is that what it’s like I’m just a civilian, God bless you 😎
Always always always relatable
My goodness made my day and that code blue universe trying to say something🤭
Comic relief for real life........Priceless !! hahahahahha
How are there no Dr. House comments yet i hear the references!
Lol the rare infection and know exactly what drugs and dose to give, medical drama loool
I always feel like i am a failure everytime i watch medical drama
Who is Mr Jones? He seems to be at the hospital a lot.
Omg 😂 I love your videos!!
Hahahahahaha! Last time I was in the ER, there were two codes that kept getting called every 30 minutes. One was code blue. The other wasn't a code...something about a trauma team stat...idk, I work in vet med.
Rapid Response maybe? lol I once heard a code gray get called on another floor once (I was a nursing student); that's a combative patient. Or whatever color combative meant in that hospital, though I'm pretty sure it was gray.
aaaand, this is why I gave up medicine after 7 years of studying. no regrets, I prefer to be jobless that I am right now, for real
How cud u spend so many years just to give up. Surely u knew within the first 1-3 years ?
