My boyfriend is a med student and he was telling me about how his preceptors wife is a UA-camr and anesthesiologist and how I should look up “anesthesiologist reacts” and I looked it up and realized that I’ve been a subscriber of yours for years! When I saw that it was you I got the biggest smile on my face, I love your videos!
It’s really cool to see a day in the life of an anesthesiologist. I’m turning 11 in a month and my mom knows i want to be an anesthesiologist when I grow up so she sent this to me!
Y’all are so young and I love that you have big goals for yourselves! Just know that you CAN do anything you set your minds to! Keep in mind that math is only one component to such a rewarding career that there is so much more to! You still have plenty of time to work on your math skills, so please don’t let that discourage you! I’m no Anesthesiologist, but I am a nurse, and I absolutely love what I do! There are so many things you can do in the field of healthcare and it’s such a rewarding field! I can’t imagine working in any field other than healthcare. If I wasn’t a nurse, I don’t even know what else I’d be! Lol. Math is a big part of nursing also and it wasn’t my strongest subject, but I focused more on turning that weakness into something stronger to make my dreams come true, and you can too! Seriously though, you guys keep those goals high, don’t get discouraged by a weakness, just work your butt off and turn it into a strength because you CAN, remember that YOU are in charge of your future and CAN do anything you are driven to do, and ALWAYS always believe in yourself!!! You have the world at your fingertips and I have faith that you’ll do great things!!!❤️
@@willturnbull463 also take into consideration that most medical schools aren't $50k tuition and they begin earning money during residency and even though it's a lot you can begin paying it off. Then as soon as they become certified they earn 100s of thousands annually that is if they work for other people, not to mention investments, private businesses. In reality their debt doesn't affect them all too much
Will you consider making a “How to” video regarding anesthesiology? The steps you should take in middle/high school, and college. What classes we should succeed (ex: Math, science, English, chemistry, gym (lol) Etc.)
@@navywife4life07 Sorry. I thought I was being helpful. Lol. Some people don't know that an anesthesiologist is an MD and I just assumed this person was one. I didn't mean to confuse or offend. I do apologize.

11:00 Funny story on "Time Out" A few years back I had to have surgery on my foot. The nurse came up with a Shapee and said she wanted to mark the foot I was having worked on so they didn't "fix" the wrong foot. I said, "I don't think that is going to be a problem." and pulled my covers up so she could see I was an amputee. The look of utter horror on her face really really cracked me up. She realized she had just committed some kind of class 10 faux pas. She marked my foot anyway, which the doctor got a huge kick out of.
I've never had an anesthesiologist like you. I am pregnant with baby number 3, all three will have been C-sections. In 2012 with my first daughter they actually put me to SLEEP for reasons I still don't fully understand. I was in labor for days and told them the entire time I had the epidural that it wasn't working. They all kept assuring me (even my husband) that I was simply feeling pressure, not pain. Fast forward to my emergency C-section, they tried the epidural again, then a spinal (to my recollection). When nothing 'took' and I could still feel pain they put me out very quickly. It was incredibly traumatic and causes me so much anxiety. My most recent C-section in 2018 went very smoothly. No problems with the spinal, but I did not connect with my anesthesiologist at all. They weren't warm or comforting and didn't speak much, English wasn't his first language and that caused a barrier for us, I believe? I wonder if there is a way that I can request a female anesthesiologist this time around. I wish more than anything I could have someone amazing like you by my side!! I know this comment is long, but I've been watching your videos back to back all day and your patients are so lucky to have you. Any insight on my first C-section where I was put out? My current OB is baffled and couldn't even explain it to me! Thanks for all you do.
Maybe due to the emergency c-section and your epidurals not working they put you out for your safety as well as the child? Not sure, not a doctor. That's all I can think of though.
Justlike butterscotch - Why she kept on having children is none of your business. And actually it’s every doctors job to make sure that the patient is comfortable and fully informed and every part of the stay in hospital. Part of that is making sure the patient is not traumatised by lack of information.
@@Brandi_alanaa What a stupid reason. The world is not overcrowded and no one gives a fuck if it is because there are ppl who want to have big families. People have babies not for the world but for themselves.
We lived next door to my In-laws when our kids were young and my MIL would come over in her PJ at 5:30 am , was a godsend having her . My shifts now start at 0600 -1417 so I get up around 4:20 as we live rurally and it takes a big to get to our hospital and I like to give myself time and get early to work .
Gonna be honest. I've been looking into pursuing a path in medicine, get my pre reqs done and apply to med school. I've been finding doctors to shadow to make sure this is something I want to pursue and build a list of specialties I may want to get into. I haven't been able to find an anesthesiologist to shadow (understandably, after watching your videos) and I really feel like I just shadowed you. These videos where you talk about what it's like to be an anesthesiologist have helped me so much in understanding this specialty. Thank you!
When I had my gall bladder removed years ago, my anesthesiologist was a woman and I thought that was the most badass thing ever. I'm a veterinary nurse, and one of my favorite things is anesthesia. Thank you for all you do!
Cheezin yes I agree. with teachers it’s more like keeping track of everyone’s allergies, well being at school and home in case it affects schoolwork, sickness etc. I would choose the pressure of being a teacher over a doctor but teachers are still definitely underpaid.
YES! I just got from under the hair dryer and got the notification as I was walking to the TV! Just started watching, but I already know I’m going to love it!
Dr. Braly I just want to thank you for taking the time out of your busy day to show us this. I greatly appreciate this as a pre Med student. I have worked in ophthalmology for the past four years as a secretary so I also want to thank you for always keeping patients private and always respecting privacy. Just thought I’d let you know how much I appreciate your videos.
I wish you had been my anesthesiologist, mine yelled at me while I was in a very vulnerable state about canceling my surgery, opioid addiction, and nerve blocks all because I was crying and scared. Thank goodness for the nurse that stayed with me and held my hand though that madness.
This week I was going to have a minor procedure done & didn’t have a pleasant experience with the anesthesiologist (first time ever even going under) and the whole time I wish like I wish it was Kristina instead! Thanks for putting out videos like this because I know next time it won’t as bad of an experience and honestly, knowing there is anesthesiologist like you out there make me feel more comfortable. Anyway, looong time subscriber and thanks for sharing your life with us!
I want to be an Orthopedic spine surgeon, but I have been looking into plastic reconstructive surgery. Earning my bachelors degree now. Anyway, I have not really considered anesthesiology since it is more medical and not surgical, but this was awesome! You are fabulous!
I'm stuck in bed recovering from surgery/anesthesia on Monday, and this vlog completely turned my otherwise painful day around! Thank you so much for taking us along and infusing your vlogs with so much educational content as well.
Excellent video! I’m so happy you did the talk about blood pressure with anesthesia. I’m a surgery coordinator and a lot of my job is having to explain to patients why they were cancelled. Sometimes they just tell me to tell the patient “blood pressure” but now I can talk more educationally about it. I love your videos!!
My son is pre med & this is one of his choices of doctors ., orthopedic, anesthesiologist & plastic surgeon.. He’s super excited & he watches ur videos w/ me .. ty for sharing 🙏🏽🙏🏽
Thankful for people that do your job. I had a craniotomy 2 weeks ago, and because of my neurosurgeon and anesthesiologists before the surgery talking to me, I felt like I was in great hands and was calm going in to it. 🙂
Just want to say how I always thank God for our medical teams who work together to keep us safe and well. I’ve had to have several surgeries although I am a healthy person for my age, I’ve had the gallbladder, appendix blah blah blah stuff happen but that is some of the best sleep I ever get girl!
Well done, just catching up on your videos. I have been a nurse for 26 yrs and I have worked as a PACU nurse for the past 12yrs. Ugh>>>> I am tired!! Love the medical videos! A day in the life is up my alley. Hope you are safe during the Corona virus pandemic. I am scared!!!
I have been following you for a couple months now. I loved vlogmas! I have such an appreciation for anesthesiologists since finding your channel. My 3 yr old son just had surgery last week to have a second set of ear tubes placed and his adenoids removed. My husband and I went back this time to help hold him and be with him while he was being sedated. It was kind of a nerve wracking experience watching him be put under. But we were at children’s hospital and the team was amazing. They did the time out procedure and everything it was kind of cool actually seeing it done by professionals and not just on dramatized on tv.
Ugh 😑, I had a spinal leak and a blood patch. Worst headache for a WEAK! I was throwing up at my daughters 1 week follow up before I went back to the hospital. I couldn’t even eat for that week. I wish I was informed of this AE before so I didn’t have to suffer so long. I was so sick I quit breast feeding. Tip. Please don’t forget to remind your patients of this possible side effect. 🤕
I had a friend in high school who was diagnosed with New Daily Persistent Headaches. When you mentioned blood patches it brought back so many memories .
My anesthesiologist was an angel when I was in labor. My contractions were so close together and intense, and he had literally everything working against him at the time. The epidural kits he was given weren't complete for some reason, and he went through three of them before he was able to do my epidural. Took him a couple sticks to find the right space. He was so calm and worked quickly to help me out. He gave me a shot of pain meds in the catheter to give me some relief before the epidural kicked in. I was finally able to relax for like 20 minutes before pushing. I progressed reeeeally fast.
I’m so happy for the woman with a previous myomectomy - that she had a baby. I had fibroids and they basically ruined my life. I know you didn’t say what the reason was, but in a case like hers, it’s a double miracle.
I had a spinal headache with my second baby! I had no idea what the heck that was before I experienced it. It really was the worst ever! I'm glad you are talking about them.
I worked in the OR as a Perioperative nurse and i always find this kind of videos interesting and informative. I can totally relate how sometimes we loose track of time due the busy schedule in the OR but nevertheless at the end of the day we accomplished something that helped our patients. Well done!
Hi Dr. Braly! Thank you for all the anesthesia related content I'm a CA-2 and love watching your videos to get an idea of the differences between private practice anesthesia vs. what we see in academia during residency!
✨LOVE YOUR DAY IN THE LIFE VIDEOS! SO INTERESTING. I watch but usually don't comment. I just wanted to take a moment to thank YOU and your HUSBAND for the work that you do and sending a prayer of ✨PROTECTION ✨ to you and your family during this trying time. ✨🙏🏽✨💜✨🙌🏻🙏🏽💜💜
I had a spinal headache from a lumbar puncture.... WORST pain EVER!!!! I'm glad you explained it because I have never felt that kind of pain and I have two kids!
Love seeing this side of things - I’m a veterinary assistant, and I routinely am the nurse monitoring anesthesia on our dogs & cats! Fun to see the human side!
Spinal headaches are the worst!! I have gotten so many lumbar punctures and no matter how small the needle it still happens :( had many blood patches and let me tell you it can be instant relief
This has been my favorite video thus far! I’m an MS1 and am interested in anesthesiology, so it was great to learn more about the procedures that you do! Thank you, Dr. Braly!
I just found your videos almost two hours ago and I can’t stop watching. I’m a 2nd semester 21 year old female medical student and I aspire to be an anesthesiologist one day. These videos are great and makes me only encourages to keep going for it.
Can I just say how amazing it is that being a doctor you still find time to do you tube. I’m a doctor and I barely get time for myself after I’m done with work and family responsibilities. Hats off to you!
Loved hearing you talk about spinal headaches! I have psudeotumor cerebri and after a lumbar puncture developed a spinal headache. When the doctor who gave me the lumbar puncture saw me again, to give me a blood patch, it was exactly like you said! The second he walked in he knew what it was, even though every other medical professional I had encountered for the two previous days didn't believe that I had one. (also, when he went back in for the blood patch, he attempted to get my pressure again and I had been leaking so much CSF that he couldn't get a reading after half an hour and put it in the notes as a dry tap)
Best day in a life yet! 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽 very entertaining and informative! Seeing your phone now reminded me of a video request: I would love to see your review on the iPhone 11, because I love the way you go about reviewing your phones, it would be great to see you do that for this one, even comparing with previous models if possible. Thanks, I love your content!!
40 yrs ago I had spinal headaches after a epidural after giving birth. I had to have a blood patch, thankfully it resolvd my headaches quickly. Glad you discussed it.
Wow, this is an awesome job. You guys have so much responsibility. I respect you guys a lot! I’m only a MA student and eventually will go into nursing. Seeing the med field makes me so excited to be in it. Awesome video! Thank you!
this is the first video of you i’ve watched so far and................you’re the most gorgeous anesthesiologist i’ve ever met 🤩 subbed immediately!! (i am also currently and undergrad in premed:))
Thank you for talking about spinal headaches! I had 2 epidurals, b/c the first caused a drop in blood pressure and feeling like I couldn’t breathe. The anesthesiologist did some education to inform me that there might have been a puncture in my dura. I ended up having a spinal block in a c-section, which again caused almost passing out and feeling like I couldn’t breathe. I recovered, but developed a spinal headache about 24 hours later. I’ve never had such a rough week in my life lol. We all survived it. There is a noise in your head that does not go away until the headache resolves. The Percocet combined with lots of caffeine and Motrin did help a little when I had appointments. I did have a blood patch in the hospital, but the headache continued. I would opt for just a spinal with any future babies! Epidurals are wonderful while they work 😁 , but I just had a fluke experience and slightly unusual anatomy, from what the anesthesiologist said at the blood patch. Thank god for what you do! ❤️
This was awesome! So informative!! I just love how you cover all aspects of life you!! I’d love to have you as my anesthesiologist, you truly care about your patients!!🌺🌸🌺
I am a huge fan! Your videos have inspired me in so many ways, I have been into medicine since I was a little kid , and it is so interesting and entertaining to watch your videos, I learn a lot from them too! I hope to be a doctor someday!
I had a spinal fusion for scoliosis years ago. I have long lasting neurological disorders from the mistakes made during the surgery. As well as actual damage to my spine from the scoliosis curve growing for so long. There's a long story behind it. From 12 to 19 the curve grew as they tried to figure out what to do. It was my lumbar curve. Fused from L1-L5 in the surgery that went wrong. I had already had surgery for the top curve. It's fused from T1-T12 with a Harrington rod. I have severe stenosis, cauda equine (?spell) DDD, etc. The list goes on. My spines a mess. During that fusion my medical records show the word blood patch multiple times. I've tried to find out what it was and what it might have done to me. Until I was watching your video just now. I never knew the answer. So, thank you!! It helps me understand a bit more what happened, went wrong, and the long term side effects better.
THIS IS SO EXCITING!!!!!! I love seeing some of the things you do at work! I’m learning so much from you! Thanks for sharing with us My Girl!!!! 🤗🤗🤗 PS I HATED getting my epidural for my first born because it hurt so badly...for me the epidural was the worse part of labor for me. Never had another one done because of that. I wish you could share with every doctor your secrets for no burning lol.
It's really cool to just get an insight into what anesthesiology really is at its core. A lot of people want to join just for the "money", but it was extremely refreshing to just see someone with a true passion for their profession, so thank you! I am a high school student and was wondering if there's a way I can actually shadow an anesthesiologist, and even go into an OR to explore my passion and interests?
Hello. I just subscribed to your most informative channel! Thanks for explaining why some surgeries are cancelled due to high blood pressure. I have just started on BP meds so your explanation makes me understand why this is so important to take. Haven't had cancelled surgeries but good to know I am doing something important for my body in case of emergencies. Thanks! Julie in North Carolina
I just found your channel and I needed to partake in conversation. When I had my son they accidently wet tapped me when they did my epidural. I instantly felt like my head was gonna explode and so were my hips. So they tried a second time and it was successful. Fast forward 2 days later on the trip home that same headache came back. I went back to the OB ER and the anesthesiologist said my story sounded wonky and sent me home. The next day I was the same way he looked at me again and finally decided to do a blood patch and the headache instantly disappeared and I was an entirely different person. 🙃 I would do all of it all over again though for the most amazing little man!
My IV was way way way more painful than the epidural. I was totally terrified to get the epidural and for no reason! You guys are miracle workers 🙏🏻👏🏼🎉
I felt my entire c section 7 months ago. I was pleading to the anesthesiologist but she didn't believe me. I'm still dealing with the mental scares from this. How common is this? I'm very curious...
this happened to my mom when giving birth to me. when the OBGYN finally heard her begging the anesthesiologist, he demanded that my mom be put out so she couldn’t feel the pain
When you talked about ur nanny and how she has to to come to your house so early it reminded me of a program where you can hire girls from around the world to come and stay with you and your family for up to 2 years. during that time they can help take care of your children and help around the house. I have been using this program since my kids were 5 years old and they are now 13. There are many different agencies but the agency I used was called “aupair care” I recommend you try it.it’s VERY convenient and you can hire girls from any place in the world.
I loved this video! I love learning about what happens behind the scenes. I wanted to work in the medical field but quickly realized that field isn’t for me. (It’s still interesting to me!) But I’m so grateful for people like you who love what you do and devote and sacrifice your time in it. ❤️
Having Surgery on April 9th, have BP issues ( its now down to 120-140/ 80-90 usually now.) Your video made me feel so much more relaxed about my surgery.
I’ve had a bowel resection before and about to have another one and honestly any normal person would be scared in the beginning, but you’re gonna get knocked out and next thing you know they’ve been done with the surgery and you’re just wakin up. You’re throat will also be sore due to having a breathing tube while you’re asleep but best thing is to be optimistic and not pessimistic

The look of utter horror on her face really really cracked me up. She realized she had just committed some kind of class 10 faux pas.
She marked my foot anyway, which the doctor got a huge kick out of.
"Too late" and pulling up the cover would've been funny too ;)
I always say anesthesiologists are the most important doctor in the operating room. Because they keep you hovering between life and death
But do they really? They can't stop a bleed out, unlike an actual surgeon can.
You’re right, but the surgeon doesn’t transfuse you blood, plasma, and platelets when you’re bleeding out too fast before they can fix it. ;-)
@@kristinabraly and your right I forgot about that aspect.
There is no most important doctor in the O.r table. That's why it's called a surgical team. Everyone is important.
kumbaga I agree! Everyone is important in their own task!

I wish you had been my anesthesiologist, mine yelled at me while I was in a very vulnerable state about canceling my surgery, opioid addiction, and nerve blocks all because I was crying and scared. Thank goodness for the nurse that stayed with me and held my hand though that madness.
This week I was going to have a minor procedure done & didn’t have a pleasant experience with the anesthesiologist (first time ever even going under) and the whole time I wish like I wish it was Kristina instead! Thanks for putting out videos like this because I know next time it won’t as bad of an experience and honestly, knowing there is anesthesiologist like you out there make me feel more comfortable. Anyway, looong time subscriber and thanks for sharing your life with us!

youre absolutely lovely for relieving the crna's!! we appreciate help like that!
IM SO HAPPY MY FEED IS FINALLY GIVING ME VIDEOS WITH PROFESSIONALS IN A FIELD I WANT TO GO INTO 😭😭😭.
I want to be an Orthopedic spine surgeon, but I have been looking into plastic reconstructive surgery. Earning my bachelors degree now. Anyway, I have not really considered anesthesiology since it is more medical and not surgical, but this was awesome! You are fabulous!
Very kind of you to share your day with us! My Left knee ACL had a very kind anesthesiologist just like you near me, felt good to see what it is like!
I'm stuck in bed recovering from surgery/anesthesia on Monday, and this vlog completely turned my otherwise painful day around! Thank you so much for taking us along and infusing your vlogs with so much educational content as well.
CRNA here!! Thank you for giving your CRNAs breaks!!! 🙌🏽💕🙌🏽 I cheered out loud when you said that!!!! 🥰🥰🥰
Excellent video! I’m so happy you did the talk about blood pressure with anesthesia. I’m a surgery coordinator and a lot of my job is having to explain to patients why they were cancelled. Sometimes they just tell me to tell the patient “blood pressure” but now I can talk more educationally about it. I love your videos!!
My dad is retired Anesthesia and my Son is going to school for Anesthesia. Definitely, gives me so much appreciation for them!!!
I just love you. Ive had a couple non elective surgeries and my fiance had a transplant. Anesthesia is the only Doc that could keep me calm.
This was my favorite day in the life of an anesthesiologist so far! Loved all the info about what you do
Thanks for video! It’s always fun to see what other health care professionals encounter during their day!
your wedding rings are absolutely gorgeous
My son is pre med & this is one of his choices of doctors ., orthopedic, anesthesiologist & plastic surgeon.. He’s super excited & he watches ur videos w/ me .. ty for sharing 🙏🏽🙏🏽
Thankful for people that do your job. I had a craniotomy 2 weeks ago, and because of my neurosurgeon and anesthesiologists before the surgery talking to me, I felt like I was in great hands and was calm going in to it.
🙂
Just want to say how I always thank God for our medical teams who work together to keep us safe and well. I’ve had to have several surgeries although I am a healthy person for my age, I’ve had the gallbladder, appendix blah blah blah stuff happen but that is some of the best sleep I ever get girl!
Well done, just catching up on your videos. I have been a nurse for 26 yrs and I have worked as a PACU nurse for the past 12yrs. Ugh>>>> I am tired!! Love the medical videos! A day in the life is up my alley. Hope you are safe during the Corona virus pandemic. I am scared!!!
I have been following you for a couple months now. I loved vlogmas! I have such an appreciation for anesthesiologists since finding your channel. My 3 yr old son just had surgery last week to have a second set of ear tubes placed and his adenoids removed. My husband and I went back this time to help hold him and be with him while he was being sedated. It was kind of a nerve wracking experience watching him be put under. But we were at children’s hospital and the team was amazing. They did the time out procedure and everything it was kind of cool actually seeing it done by professionals and not just on dramatized on tv.
Ugh 😑, I had a spinal leak and a blood patch. Worst headache for a WEAK! I was throwing up at my daughters 1 week follow up before I went back to the hospital. I couldn’t even eat for that week. I wish I was informed of this AE before so I didn’t have to suffer so long. I was so sick I quit breast feeding. Tip. Please don’t forget to remind your patients of this possible side effect. 🤕
Rosy Perez exactly!!!
I had a spinal leak from an epidural I healed on my own without the blood patch I couldn’t sit up for a week.
This is the reason I subscribed because of the Life Of An Anesthesiologist. I can't wait to become an Anesthesiologist❤️
I had a friend in high school who was diagnosed with New Daily Persistent Headaches. When you mentioned blood patches it brought back so many memories .
your videos are so informative it makes me feel less guilty for taking a study break!! i basically am studying by watching riiiight???
My anesthesiologist was an angel when I was in labor. My contractions were so close together and intense, and he had literally everything working against him at the time. The epidural kits he was given weren't complete for some reason, and he went through three of them before he was able to do my epidural. Took him a couple sticks to find the right space. He was so calm and worked quickly to help me out. He gave me a shot of pain meds in the catheter to give me some relief before the epidural kicked in. I was finally able to relax for like 20 minutes before pushing. I progressed reeeeally fast.
Notification bell always comes in clutch!!! Love your anesthesiologist/ med vlogs so much they always make my day. 💛
I’m so happy for the woman with a previous myomectomy - that she had a baby. I had fibroids and they basically ruined my life. I know you didn’t say what the reason was, but in a case like hers, it’s a double miracle.
i love your lashes! also i am a fresh medical graduate so watching you really helps alot Kristina!
I had a spinal headache with my second baby! I had no idea what the heck that was before I experienced it. It really was the worst ever! I'm glad you are talking about them.
I worked in the OR as a Perioperative nurse and i always find this kind of videos interesting and informative. I can totally relate how sometimes we loose track of time due the busy schedule in the OR but nevertheless at the end of the day we accomplished something that helped our patients. Well done!
I HATE the lido burn. Praise be to you for getting rid of it.
Hi Dr. Braly! Thank you for all the anesthesia related content I'm a CA-2 and love watching your videos to get an idea of the differences between private practice anesthesia vs. what we see in academia during residency!
✨LOVE YOUR DAY IN THE LIFE VIDEOS! SO INTERESTING. I watch but usually don't comment. I just wanted to take a moment to thank YOU and your HUSBAND for the work that you do and sending a prayer of ✨PROTECTION ✨ to you and your family during this trying time. ✨🙏🏽✨💜✨🙌🏻🙏🏽💜💜
I had a spinal headache from a lumbar puncture.... WORST pain EVER!!!! I'm glad you explained it because I have never felt that kind of pain and I have two kids!
Love seeing this side of things - I’m a veterinary assistant, and I routinely am the nurse monitoring anesthesia on our dogs & cats! Fun to see the human side!
Love the video. It’s so good, it’s informative, and you get to see a day in the life of an anesthesiologist. 👌👌👍👍❤️❤️❤️
Spinal headaches are the worst!! I have gotten so many lumbar punctures and no matter how small the needle it still happens :( had many blood patches and let me tell you it can be instant relief
This has been my favorite video thus far! I’m an MS1 and am interested in anesthesiology, so it was great to learn more about the procedures that you do! Thank you, Dr. Braly!
Your making me want to be a anesthesiologist, after stressing about what I’m gonna do after I get my high school diploma. 🥺 thank you
You’re really motivating to watch! love your vibe and personality.. I suddenly want to become an anesthesiologist🤣🤣
I just found your videos almost two hours ago and I can’t stop watching. I’m a 2nd semester 21 year old female medical student and I aspire to be an anesthesiologist one day. These videos are great and makes me only encourages to keep going for it.
I am in awe of you. You are an amazing person. Thankyou for looking after peoples lives.
Anesthesiologist is one of my career options! Thanks for the insight!
I love this channel! I'm a pre-med student and a new subscriber and I really like how these videos are so informative!
I love these videos!!! You can tell how much time and effort was put into the content and editing. Another great vid!! 😊
Can I just say how amazing it is that being a doctor you still find time to do you tube. I’m a doctor and I barely get time for myself after I’m done with work and family responsibilities. Hats off to you!
I love your videos. I'm scared of doctors and I feel very uncomfortable in hospitals, but watching your videos helped me to overcome my anxiety. 🤗
Loved hearing you talk about spinal headaches! I have psudeotumor cerebri and after a lumbar puncture developed a spinal headache. When the doctor who gave me the lumbar puncture saw me again, to give me a blood patch, it was exactly like you said! The second he walked in he knew what it was, even though every other medical professional I had encountered for the two previous days didn't believe that I had one. (also, when he went back in for the blood patch, he attempted to get my pressure again and I had been leaking so much CSF that he couldn't get a reading after half an hour and put it in the notes as a dry tap)
Best day in a life yet! 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽 very entertaining and informative! Seeing your phone now reminded me of a video request: I would love to see your review on the iPhone 11, because I love the way you go about reviewing your phones, it would be great to see you do that for this one, even comparing with previous models if possible. Thanks, I love your content!!
I am a medical student and this specialty is very interesting for me ❤❤❤❤❤
Thanks for this video
Wish you all the best 😗
40 yrs ago I had spinal headaches after a epidural after giving birth. I had to have a blood patch, thankfully it resolvd my headaches quickly. Glad you discussed it.
Wow, this is an awesome job. You guys have so much responsibility. I respect you guys a lot! I’m only a MA student and eventually will go into nursing. Seeing the med field makes me so excited to be in it. Awesome video! Thank you!
this is the first video of you i’ve watched so far and................you’re the most gorgeous anesthesiologist i’ve ever met 🤩 subbed immediately!! (i am also currently and undergrad in premed:))
Thank you for talking about spinal headaches! I had 2 epidurals, b/c the first caused a drop in blood pressure and feeling like I couldn’t breathe. The anesthesiologist did some education to inform me that there might have been a puncture in my dura. I ended up having a spinal block in a c-section, which again caused almost passing out and feeling like I couldn’t breathe. I recovered, but developed a spinal headache about 24 hours later. I’ve never had such a rough week in my life lol. We all survived it. There is a noise in your head that does not go away until the headache resolves. The Percocet combined with lots of caffeine and Motrin did help a little when I had appointments. I did have a blood patch in the hospital, but the headache continued. I would opt for just a spinal with any future babies! Epidurals are wonderful while they work 😁 , but I just had a fluke experience and slightly unusual anatomy, from what the anesthesiologist said at the blood patch. Thank god for what you do! ❤️
Excellent educational video in terms of a mini overview of the job of an anesthesiologist. Well done!
I just started Anesthesiology and Critical Care residency here in Tbilisi, Georgia 🇬🇪 I love your videos!
Always enjoy these videos! Thanks for taking us along for the ride!
This was awesome! So informative!! I just love how you cover all aspects of life you!! I’d love to have you as my anesthesiologist, you truly care about your patients!!🌺🌸🌺
I am a huge fan! Your videos have inspired me in so many ways, I have been into medicine since I was a little kid , and it is so interesting and entertaining to watch your videos, I learn a lot from them too! I hope to be a doctor someday!
I had a spinal fusion for scoliosis years ago. I have long lasting neurological disorders from the mistakes made during the surgery. As well as actual damage to my spine from the scoliosis curve growing for so long. There's a long story behind it. From 12 to 19 the curve grew as they tried to figure out what to do. It was my lumbar curve. Fused from L1-L5 in the surgery that went wrong. I had already had surgery for the top curve. It's fused from T1-T12 with a Harrington rod. I have severe stenosis, cauda equine (?spell) DDD, etc. The list goes on. My spines a mess. During that fusion my medical records show the word blood patch multiple times. I've tried to find out what it was and what it might have done to me. Until I was watching your video just now. I never knew the answer. So, thank you!! It helps me understand a bit more what happened, went wrong, and the long term side effects better.
THIS IS SO EXCITING!!!!!! I love seeing some of the things you do at work! I’m learning so much from you! Thanks for sharing with us My Girl!!!! 🤗🤗🤗
PS I HATED getting my epidural for my first born because it hurt so badly...for me the epidural was the worse part of labor for me. Never had another one done because of that. I wish you could share with every doctor your secrets for no burning lol.
i love that intro. so genuine
When I had my C-Section 21 years ago, you guys were the most memorable 😊😊😊😊😊
We do our best 🙂
Legit closed an old video of yours to watch this one! Was watching a haircut video of yours from Oct 2018 😊
I couldn't click fast enough - as soon as the bell lit up I left the video I was watching!!
It's really cool to just get an insight into what anesthesiology really is at its core. A lot of people want to join just for the "money", but it was extremely refreshing to just see someone with a true passion for their profession, so thank you! I am a high school student and was wondering if there's a way I can actually shadow an anesthesiologist, and even go into an OR to explore my passion and interests?
My favorite videos of yours!!!
so entertaining! and educational at the same time! Thank you for posting!
My daughter in law is in medical school now to be a ER doctor,and my other daughter in law graduates in May to be a respiratory therapist 😊
Hello. I just subscribed to your most informative channel! Thanks for explaining why some surgeries are cancelled due to high blood pressure. I have just started on BP meds so your explanation makes me understand why this is so important to take. Haven't had cancelled surgeries but good to know I am doing something important for my body in case of emergencies. Thanks!

I just found your channel and I needed to partake in conversation. When I had my son they accidently wet tapped me when they did my epidural. I instantly felt like my head was gonna explode and so were my hips. So they tried a second time and it was successful. Fast forward 2 days later on the trip home that same headache came back. I went back to the OB ER and the anesthesiologist said my story sounded wonky and sent me home. The next day I was the same way he looked at me again and finally decided to do a blood patch and the headache instantly disappeared and I was an entirely different person. 🙃 I would do all of it all over again though for the most amazing little man!
My IV was way way way more painful than the epidural. I was totally terrified to get the epidural and for no reason! You guys are miracle workers 🙏🏻👏🏼🎉
Very interesting and informative video. Loved seeing your 48 hours. You do such a great job with your videos.
I felt my entire c section 7 months ago. I was pleading to the anesthesiologist but she didn't believe me. I'm still dealing with the mental scares from this. How common is this? I'm very curious...
r j I hope you tried to sue for the pain.
Same happened to me too. It felt like the OBGYN was ripping my soul out. The worst pain I have experienced.
Wow bad anesthesia
this happened to my mom when giving birth to me. when the OBGYN finally heard her begging the anesthesiologist, he demanded that my mom be put out so she couldn’t feel the pain
rj holy shit hun I'm so sorry you went thru that. I would be freaking out. It hurt enough with the meds they gave me so I couldn't imagine
When you talked about ur nanny and how she has to to come to your house so early it reminded me of a program where you can hire girls from around the world to come and stay with you and your family for up to 2 years. during that time they can help take care of your children and help around the house. I have been using this program since my kids were 5 years old and they are now 13. There are many different agencies but the agency I used was called “aupair care” I recommend you try it.it’s VERY convenient and you can hire girls from any place in the world.
I loved this video! I love learning about what happens behind the scenes. I wanted to work in the medical field but quickly realized that field isn’t for me. (It’s still interesting to me!) But I’m so grateful for people like you who love what you do and devote and sacrifice your time in it. ❤️
Hypnosis is highly under utilized!!! Love that you use it when possible!
Having Surgery on April 9th, have BP issues ( its now down to 120-140/ 80-90 usually now.) Your video made me feel so much more relaxed about my surgery.
I’ve had a bowel resection before and about to have another one and honestly any normal person would be scared in the beginning, but you’re gonna get knocked out and next thing you know they’ve been done with the surgery and you’re just wakin up. You’re throat will also be sore due to having a breathing tube while you’re asleep but best thing is to be optimistic and not pessimistic
I need an updated beauty video about eyelash extensions and skincare! And how do to super quick before-work makeup :)
