Waking patients up: I've been woken up by a night nurse to ask me if I wanted a sleeping pill. Seriously. Also, advice from someone who's been there: NEVER have anything "Interesting" or unusual in a teaching hospital. You'll get no rest or peace.
I’ve seen some despicable behaviors by Chief residents on rounds. I think Neuro surgery and Cards are the worst. One Chief resident was actually pulling a 2nd year resident BY HIS EAR, through the NTICU while verbally berating him. The chief resident wasn’t very good and was always pissed about something. We see GREAT teams and not so great teams depending on the rotations. Our attendings were Fantastic! Most had fairly extensive military practice with mobile surgical hospitals.
I am just thinking, I work at a medical ward with a specialty in endo, I am a LPN (or what goes for lpn's where I live) and a lot of our patients either have or develop delirium while in the hospital. The main cure for delirium is sleep. Fortunately my country does not preround and the round is one doctor and one nurse talking to the patient about what was found, what the patient wants to happen, and plans for the future.
I was in hospital for 2 months following an accident. Emergency surgery the morning of my first day aaaaand I stopped breathing 😂. Woke up in IMCU. For the next 7 days or so, I was woken up every . Single . Day at midnight and 5 am for vitals check. Apparently , I don't move when I sleep and breathe reaaaaaaaly quiet 😂. Fun way to freak out the nurses. I usually dozed off again after 5 am check and my surgeon would wake me up at 7 by tickling my toes 😂
Last time I was in the hospital an orderly woke me at 5am (4 hours after Nurse gave me Xanax to relax me to let me sleep) asking if I wanted help taking a shower. Dude, GO AWAY!
I feel that you have an efficiency problem in the US. In Germany rounds take about 45 seconds to 3 minutes per patient on average and our patients don’t die because of it.
Are you speaking as a patient or a physician? Because while the docs may not be in the patient’s room for all that long, we do spend quite a bit of time talking about the cases and how best to proceed while outside of patients rooms. This is why rounds take a while, especially depending on how many patients are assigned to the team ❤️
We’ll I hope you enjoyed! He’s actually an amazing human being. He’s an ophthalmologist, has had testicular cancer (TWICE) and suffered a random cardiac arrest in the middle of the night and his non-medical wife did CPR and saved his life!! Amazing!
@Jess The MD Vanderbilt sent an intern into the exam room with me without supervision and the intern said medical things that were absolutely false. It was my first time to go to Vanderbilt and I will never go there again.
Oh those poor patients at 5 am were already woken up by xray coming in to do morning port cxr so they would be in the system for the med students/interns/doctors
The one where the med student nopes out of Cardiothoracic surgery is especially funny to me, because by that point in the series he's been through soooo much in so many different rotations. After all that he finally found one where he was just like...😶🫥
Imposter syndrome can be soooo real 😅🙃 I once heard an attending say that the moment you stop questioning your medical decisions at all, you should quit. Ie - maintain a (large) level of humbleness and make sure to check and double check your work and your medical decisions, because people’s lives depend on it. Never take that responsibility lightly ❤️
@@JessTheMD that’s one big reason I’d never want to pursue medicine: having patients’ lives in your hands must be another level of terrifying and stressful.
Training to be a doctor seems... insane. Am I wrong. If I'm not wrong, why is it like that? Seems more like torture than you'd really want any kind of job training to be, y'know?
At 5:59, that cap is used by Dr. G to indicate the charge nurse, the most feared person in each department.
I love that last glaucomflecken skit with the med student asking about HYPERnatremia at the last minute.
Why is it funny though? Is it cos the explanations for that one are presumably the longest thing you could possibly ask for?
in my experience, the pathologist is always the nicest person you can come across in a hospital (and dude knows everything)

Omg… I cannot believe you were worked up for that 🙈🙈🙈
About having something interesting… you are so right! 😅❤️

I generally only watch your scrubs videos but decided to give this a try. Never heard of this guy.

@@JessTheMD Good grief, does his body just hate him or something? Glad he survived all of that.
Was this a reaction or repressed trama from med school and residency? The last skit seemed that way anyway 😂
Haha it may have been a bit of both 🙈😅
Residency sucks. I work in the Neuro ICU as an RN and the residents get treated like garbage. They work literally all the time.
I couldn’t agree more. Residency in many places is super toxic 😩
Nice reaction 😊
Thank you! 😊

Thank you!!

Being an attending must be terrifying

It’s certainly a big responsibility!! ❤️
Love it Jess. You had a lot of fun with this one.
haha thanks so much!!
PASS. It's clearly hyperphosphatemia, poor thing
This is my new favorite channel.
Yaaassss! What I like to hear 😝 thanks for the support!

Hahaha... Yeah.... It's a lot. I am doing an ask me anything video, coming next week, and it will definitely cover this topic... 😊
My mentor told me you have to be utterly insane to be a Dr but we need insane people
6:40 Flowered "net" is the Charge Nurse.
Ha, thanks for that 😊 Though, I definitely had surgical techs talk to me like that in medical school too 😝
ROFL
Hospitals are full of sick people, get out as fast as you can.
Your eyes are large.
I’ve heard that a lot 😊
