Mashallah Sarah so happy to see you as a doctor .Allah bless you with the best of deen and duniya and you grow into an Amazing dedicated hardworking doctor..loads of duas .tr.shaheen
Hi Sarah! I just came across your video when I searched “night shift” because I am starting on nights as well and what do you know….I believe we work in the same hospital ;)
That's a lot of firsts in one night! It's fascinating how much is actually being done in a night shift. I hope you can take care of yourself and make sure to pack some snacks for next time!
I loved this!🤩 Could you show us how you wear the hijab in the operating room? Im a medical applicant and it’ll be amazing to get some insight into this☺️
The same way! I just wear a surgical cap over it. Some hospitals have a special 'hijab friendly' cap but the normal one works fine, you just need to make sure you tuck any loose ends in your top just as you would your hair.
Great question! A common job you're asked to do overnight is to 'chase' scans, including CT scans. whilst you're expected to interpret chest xrays, CT scans will (eventually) be reported by the radiologist. Usually we check the scan before there's an official report to check for an obvious bleed etc that would need intervention but would always wait for the final report for anything less urgent. Hope that helps :)
It really depends on your rotations. For example, you don't get night shifts in ED (the latest you typically finish is 10pm) whereas you almost always get nights on medical rotations. On any rotation (4 months) you can expect a week of nights. They tend to be split in this format: 3 nights, 2 days off (+weekend), followed by 4 nights.
Unfortunately you can't save everyone, even in a hospital. There is a multitude of reasons for this (having multiple news calls at once/patient deteriorating with multiple co-morbidiites/ and the very important point of escalation protocols). I mention the latter in multiple vlogs - CPAP/ intubation / CPR is not indicated in all patients. Some are too poorly to have these done and a decision is made pre-emptively (very often with patient) for these types of scenarios. When you encounter a patient like this on a news call, you do your best to treat the patient but it is not in their best interest to escalate to ITU every time. If you are interested in this, you can look into DNACPR and escalation protocols. Hope that makes sense.

Yes you definitely do a lot more 'medicine' on night shifts so it's great for learning. Snacks are a must though😅
Hey what are some calculations that you make
