Vets for #1! They are used to having to improvise for medical equipment because half the stuff they have for humans they don’t bother making for animals! They have training in EVERY specialty and are super smart. Also as everyone has said they are specifically trained to wrestle patients without getting bitten.
I'd argue that if a psychiatrist were to survive the initial outbreak they could potentially deal with people since mental health, sanity and reading people are an issue. More often than not people are more dangerous than the zombies whether they are comrades or opposition. Edit: dealing with psychological trauma, calming people down and knowing if people can be trusted are pretty useful.
Most psychiatrists are in worse shape mentally than their patients. (Haven't you ever watched Frasier Crane - & Niles! Hv watched them since I was little!🤭🤭🙏💜)
I feel like a psychiatrist would make an excellent leader in the apocalypse, treating trauma, gaining trust, have the training to defend themselves against patients, and have good leadership skills. Overall psychiatrists could build a revolution with just trust and power.
i feel like psychiatrists / psychologists would be pretty good in the apocalypse. they have great tactics to stay calm and collected under pressure and intense anxiety, would work well with all different types of survivors, and would probably make good leaders considering their empathy and understanding abilities. it’s also pretty common for people to break under pressure, having someone to be able to pull you together, get you through something, and keep you from losing your mind in absolute chaos would be pretty cool.
Except you're confusing psychiatrists for psychologists, in my country it's usually psychologists that are the way you described psychiatrists are usually stuff them with medicin, and ECT
His view is flawed though. First depends on the type of zombie (walking dead or world war z). Then given that the ER will be treating them first they will be the first ones wiped out and anyone not having patient interaction will last longer.

I'm saying the same thing. More contact=higher probability of zombie interaction and therefore exposure to the antigen and potential for injury/attack/mauling. Then with the probability that they would continue to treat people and help when possible, the heightened likelihood of a zombie event (bite, contamination, assault, death) will remain above average. Even if a doctor refuses to treat people after surviving for a while, the knowledge amongst other nearby/grouped survivors of that person's medical knowledge means they are more likely to have the injured, sick, and infected/contaminated brought to them by others.
@@evientually this is assuming that all emergency room professionals are all working around the same time. Of course this will not be the case.

I once heard from a veterinarian that, should a zombie apocalypse happen, they'd survive well past any medical doctors (*their phrasing*) because they have similar training and are used to their patients trying to bite, but mainly because *they won't be at the hospital* when all the victims start coming in with symptoms! Makes me wonder what they think about The Zombie Deer.

God level survival: Veterinarians * used to avoiding getting bitten by patients * heavy duty tranqs if necessary * trained in putting down animals when necessary/has meds to do so * trained in handling rabid animals(?) (I am not a vet, btw, so if I got anything wrong or you have anything to add, please add in the comments)
The animals that they deal with and humans have very different bone structure. They'd probably be pretty useless for anything other than catching and breeding animals probably.
A good friend of mine (and many of my friends) is an ED Nurse. He's also an old Boy Scout, a survivalist, a LARPer and Medieval combat enthusiast,, a craftsman, and really nice guy. His wife and kids are pretty much the same. If there's ever a crisis, he's going to have a lot of people going to his house.
Honestly will they really notice its an apocalypse until they have zombies trying to get into the hospital? I feel like they would think is was some random drunks until they get closer and then will hit the with that long ass IV pole 🤣😂
Pathologists will sneakily stay under the radar, figure out the mutation causing the zombification and a way to tell who's been bit and is transforming. Definitely playing the nerd in the secret resistance.
I’m sorry but a zombie apocalypse wouldn’t last more than 3-5 days due to decay and decomposers such as maggots, fungi,bacteria and other forms of decomposers nature hates death it will always triumph over it I’m also not a doctor but I have Dr. Chopper which is the greatest doctor known as the man who declared war against all the diseases of the world
@@SamuraiAtlas here's the thing, while the zombies may last long, they'll bite other people and make more zombies. The numbers eventually will start shrinking rapidly, as like you said, they'll start decaying and the people bitten by the first attack will also be decaying, but with each person they bite, if they were to turn like most zombie apocalypse things show, this would cause it to last longer than what you said. And, considering it'd probably be some sort of toxin that causes them to be zombies, I'd guess that that's how it would spread, and maybe people bitten won't automatically turn, it'd probably take time and may even not take effect until the person dies, not sure of that though, but in this situation, I'd say the first week or so would be crawling with zombies, and the numbers would grow then lessen as some decay, but it would last a lot longer than that. I'd say it would last a few years. After this people would probably be better in combat after they had to fight for years. Spare time should only be spent on exercise and practice with weapons. As well as anything you can do to boost speed and stamina and acrobatics. So learning parkour is a good idea in this situation as you don't know when some crazy jump can save your life
@@HPKuro technically speaking if a zombie apocalypse did happen it would be a parasite mushroom that mutated over time strengthening the infection for longevity and controlling the host through out the whole body, a example of a parasite mushroom is the mushroom found in nature that take control over a ant and force it to obey its own survival until it made the ant explode spreading its seeds over a long distance in other words a zombie apocalypse is very possible only if someone has the sciences to genetically modify a parasitic mushroom to infect humans in order to spread itself over a long period of time, mother nature is a scare thing and it can easily kill us humans if it want to
i used to want to be an emergency medicine physician and work in a hospital ER when i was a little kid, but i think it was probably because my mom was obsessed with "ER" (the TV show) along with any other medical drama or procedural. now we're both obsessed, but i never went to med school 😅
Bonus ultimate: Veterinarians Work with uncooperative patients all the time, who can't verbally communicate their issues, keep medical equipment in their vehicles to drive to untransportable patients and therefore are familiar with working outside of ideal environments, have to adapt to use equipment that often times isn't made or suitable for many of their patients, and have to frequently improvise for alleviations or cures.
Vets, because they know about illness and trauma, can perform surgery of all kinds, can improvise medical tools in a pinch and know how to avoid getting bitten.
A veterinarian would be ideal for a zombie or any apocalypse. Dealing with diverse anatomy without medical regulation means you can treat humans as well as guard and pack animals. You'd also have a lot of experience in avoiding getting bitten by your patients
It's true. + most veterinary ER clinics have all the stuff to treat human wounds, just our patients are mostly animals. Plus, i wonder if a zombie could be euthanized like humans & animals can be- we've definitely got the stuff to do that
@@snrkybrd summon the scientists, (of all fields) they can do lots of experiments, the biologists would probably be interested in your zombie poisoning results
Sure but you will be surprised how much those two domains intersect. Sometimes we prescribe human medications and I know one or two drugs for animals that humans can use. And there is a lot of collaboration especially in transmisible deseases from animals to humans. More than that, we can give first aid and do some basics interventions. We are still doctors. I don't say there are no differences. There are a lot. And bless doctors for all the hard work. At the least our patients don't complain 😂... not verbally more crawly. Under normal circumstances we have nothing to do with the humans, as we should, but I believe in absence of any other doctor, we can help.
@@Thatonemanwhomoonwalkstowork Humans are animals too... Mammals' physiology is pretty similar especially immune systems. And vets know more about infections since it's %90 of the cases they see in one day. They also know little bit about everything
Veterinary medicine. One they have to know a lot about a lot, and they can pretty much stumble their way through most humans. And in every single post apocalyptical movie The medic is always a vet
One of my favorite posts ever... Can we talk about how in zombie shows/movies/books they always find a veterinarian and not a surgeon? Are vets deemed more likely to survive the apocalypse? Vet #1: Yup • One of our professional skills is “not being bitten by patients” • We actually have a good broad knowledge base for surgical, medical and GP things • We’re used to improvising equipment because a lot of stuff is just not made for animals • Meat safety is part of our training • Our cars are often full of various equipment, especially in mixed practice • We probably weren’t in the human hospital at the initial outbreak Vet #2: I like how the confidence of this answer implies that we as vets have at some point sat down and discussed how and why we would survive the apocalypse. Vet #1: You mean you haven’t?
Wait what’s the meat safety for? Is that in case you’re treating a pig and it dies, so you have to move to plan B and bust out the grill and mesquite chips?
Actually, apocalypse survival mostly comes down to mental strength. Psychiatrists and therapists would do pretty well I think. They’d find a group, their influence would keep them together and they’d thrive pretty well.
Doctors have to see people die, nasty things such as digested food if they're performing surgery, they have to do so much work for a single patient while remaining professional. Doctors have a shit ton to do, peoples lives on their hand, they'd be just as equal in mental strength as psychiatrists and therapists are (depending on what they specialize in, I wouldn't say that feet doctors would be).
@@oleg6345 intelligence and stamina will work when you're mentally stable lmfao, you see your family and friends dies in matter if days, Real life and movies are different.
I have three of those under belt, lol. Was an RN in the ED for years, with a specialization in Trauma. Did a stint in Trauma Surgery as an RN as well. I got my NP certs, and became a Psychiatric NP. Now i am a Pathologist...i will be among the first to know its going down, and among the first to die, probably.
The psychiatry slander in this comment section is real lmao. Every survivor is gonna need serious therapy to deal with killing their zombie family members and knowing everyone but like 4% of humans is dead.
@@JimboJuice sorry to be that guy, If in your experience you feel that way I can't argue, that's your experience, but from a statistical standpoint that's not true, alot of clash with patients and doctors especially in mental health is patient/doctor fit, meaning you might not even have a bad doctor just a bad fit, then there's also going through different therapy types till one starts working which they might not at all so you'll need to see another therapist who knows different methods. Additionally most people associate their therapist with their mental health so obviously they're going to automatically have a bad experience, therapy isn't usually fun, And I can't claim this from you, Ill assume you don't, but alot of people think that because their psychiatrist is a doctor that they automatically have all the answers when all they really have is a big list of prescriptions, and psych training, which they may hand to a less trained but more experienced therapist or therapy trained psychologist (since they aren't MD's they don't prescribe medicine, they have a larger repertoire of therapies though) so many think that makes them a bad doctor even if it's just a shit show (similar to any medicine) Also ill assume you know the difference between a therapist and psychiatrist
ER peeps are the GOAT! Calm under pressure, great multitaskers, know a lot about everything, hard working, can handle longgggg hours (and frequently do, during natural disasters, after massive accidents, etc), fantastic, lovely, amazing people. You guys have saved my ass a few times, and I appreciate it so very much. ❤️ I don't know how you do it, but you do it better than anyone. ✌🏻
You forgot about veterinarians. We’re going to survive, since we have health, production and agronomy knowledge in many species. Also, we know how to deal with the whole animal behavior system and many restrictions techniques, which can help at the moment of dealing with zombies. We could easily apply our knowledge in human health, since humans very alike to some of the many organisms that we dedicated our time studying.
@@shuumai3194 don't worry, the annoying ones will, as they don't have brains... apply this logic to most idiots, as it'll help you while being bitten to realize it's probably better than living in a world full of both zombies and Karen's.
Me, a med student who is 2 years away from residency and thinking about studying cardiology... well, that was a sweet dream TIME TO BE AN EMERGENCY MED DOCTOR
My mom worked in the ER for like 15 years and she’s one of the toughest people I know physically and mentally. One time I called her and she said to me with a straight face “I have to help clean the literal crap off a patient I’ll call you back”
My dad is almost 70. He's family practice. He's made it a goal to continue studying EVERYTHING and he built a gym in his home. So he and my step-mom are in awesome shape. He also owns 100 acres that is 2/3 surrounded by a river. He also trained my NP husband. I myself am, um, multitalented. I can do construction, cook (that includes hunt and field dress), sew, knit, throw pottery, grow a garden and I work on our cars unless it's too much. My parents raised me in a small town in the South, but they have had a very firm beneath in raising us. We were raised in a small town, but not to be small town. Also, as the only daughter, they wanted me to want someone, but taught me to never NEED someone. We were taught not to be racist and to embrace everyone and lift them up even if they spit in your face. I guess I think family practice should be first, because my father taught me to survive in any situation. Plus he ran two different ERs over the years. I renege airbrush the night with him at the ER. My mom would pack dinner and c Is go with my dad. I was a daddy's girl.
As someone who has been to the ER multiple times, this is accurate. I remember having a panic attack and the nurses there handled me quite awesomely, all the while trying to save my sister's life. Keep in mind, that we're still in the pandemic, the ER is understaffed, and there was hardly any room to get around. The people workib for the ER are always so calm and compost, ready for literally ANYTHING, that I'd be surprised if they haven't planned what to do in a zombie apocalypse.
I have coined the title Zapocalypse. All discussions about the zombie apocalypse must go by this title!!! I enjoy the fact that you understand how important consideration of the Zapocalypse is Doc
Large animal veterinarians! Know how to deal with large unruly animals without getting bit!! Also prolly know a lot of general wound care, suturing, etc.
I’d guess Emergency medicine will be first to go… Pt comes in with symptoms of lethargy and overwhelming hunger for living flesh. Um, waiting room… then a transition to full raving zombie. This is a proximity to the entrance problem. As the main triage unit, I would expect an early encounter with a zombie before word was out about what was going on.
Yea, but right behind ortho, the ED has the most fit physicians. Ever narcan'd a junkie? Get ready for a fist fight, lol. So, EM physicians and staff have experience with restraining brain dead attackers. 🤣😂
The best place to be imo in a hospital during a zombie outbreak is the lower levels. There are a few exit points, (only good for staff or a survivor who's found a staff member) but you need a badge to even get on that floor, and most importantly many rooms you can't access without clearance so if you have to be a sitting duck at least you have options. Kitchens are down there too so if your group can close any entry points you have some food supplies while you await rescue
Veterinarians. They can approximate human medicine, well trained surgically, can do the job of obgyns/ortho/gen surg AND keep your food animals alive and somewhat healthy. Thank me later.
Wait, is there a stigma that Orthopedic surgeons are ripped? I’ve had quite a few and my surgeon didn’t start out ripped, but when we saw him for my last surgery he was kinda buff.
Kinda. Since they know the advantages of having a healthy muscuskeletal system and the disadvantage of not having one, theyd be inspired to get buff. In addition to that, I think their operations require more muscle power ig
Sort of? My mom worked in a hospital's emergency and says that orthopedic surgeons are most likely to be ripped since their operation procedure requires a lot of upper body strength (like hammering, cutting through bones, manipulating structure, those take serious power). She once treated an emergency trauma patient, assisting ortho surgeon, and she said it was one of the most energy consuming surgery that she had ever done

(I am not a vet, btw, so if I got anything wrong or you have anything to add, please add in the comments)
Also plenty of animal meds are also used in human medicine with similar adverse effects ^^
True, devil cats
+ definitely rabies, hepatitis and tetanus vaccinated

The animals that they deal with and humans have very different bone structure. They'd probably be pretty useless for anything other than catching and breeding animals probably.
A good friend of mine (and many of my friends) is an ED Nurse. He's also an old Boy Scout, a survivalist, a LARPer and Medieval combat enthusiast,, a craftsman, and really nice guy. His wife and kids are pretty much the same.
If there's ever a crisis, he's going to have a lot of people going to his house.
doctor mike when somebody dies:CHEST COMPRESSIONS CHEST COMPRESSIONS
All the docs: **freaking out about the apocalypse**
The ER nurses: 🍵 **sigh** guess I don’t get a break today
🤣🤣🤣its just a typical friday night shift ain't it? 🤣
Yep lol
Hiiii
Honestly will they really notice its an apocalypse until they have zombies trying to get into the hospital? I feel like they would think is was some random drunks until they get closer and then will hit the with that long ass IV pole 🤣😂
Pathologists will sneakily stay under the radar, figure out the mutation causing the zombification and a way to tell who's been bit and is transforming. Definitely playing the nerd in the secret resistance.
or maybe they're the one who caused it in the first place 😂
@@rasu2947 lmao
I’m sorry but a zombie apocalypse wouldn’t last more than 3-5 days due to decay and decomposers such as maggots, fungi,bacteria and other forms of decomposers nature hates death it will always triumph over it I’m also not a doctor but I have Dr. Chopper which is the greatest doctor known as the man who declared war against all the diseases of the world
@@SamuraiAtlas here's the thing, while the zombies may last long, they'll bite other people and make more zombies. The numbers eventually will start shrinking rapidly, as like you said, they'll start decaying and the people bitten by the first attack will also be decaying, but with each person they bite, if they were to turn like most zombie apocalypse things show, this would cause it to last longer than what you said. And, considering it'd probably be some sort of toxin that causes them to be zombies, I'd guess that that's how it would spread, and maybe people bitten won't automatically turn, it'd probably take time and may even not take effect until the person dies, not sure of that though, but in this situation, I'd say the first week or so would be crawling with zombies, and the numbers would grow then lessen as some decay, but it would last a lot longer than that. I'd say it would last a few years. After this people would probably be better in combat after they had to fight for years. Spare time should only be spent on exercise and practice with weapons. As well as anything you can do to boost speed and stamina and acrobatics. So learning parkour is a good idea in this situation as you don't know when some crazy jump can save your life
@@HPKuro technically speaking if a zombie apocalypse did happen it would be a parasite mushroom that mutated over time strengthening the infection for longevity and controlling the host through out the whole body, a example of a parasite mushroom is the mushroom found in nature that take control over a ant and force it to obey its own survival until it made the ant explode spreading its seeds over a long distance in other words a zombie apocalypse is very possible only if someone has the sciences to genetically modify a parasitic mushroom to infect humans in order to spread itself over a long period of time, mother nature is a scare thing and it can easily kill us humans if it want to
Lol I love how he’s shouting out all the doctors who have tiktoks
As soon as I saw it I knew emergency medicine would be first! They are trained to the top in almost everything

i used to want to be an emergency medicine physician and work in a hospital ER when i was a little kid, but i think it was probably because my mom was obsessed with "ER" (the TV show) along with any other medical drama or procedural. now we're both obsessed, but i never went to med school 😅
my dad was an orthopedic surgeon, so i guess i’m living
Bonus ultimate: Veterinarians
Work with uncooperative patients all the time, who can't verbally communicate their issues, keep medical equipment in their vehicles to drive to untransportable patients and therefore are familiar with working outside of ideal environments, have to adapt to use equipment that often times isn't made or suitable for many of their patients, and have to frequently improvise for alleviations or cures.
Plus are specifically trained on how to not get bit
Lol I was just about to comment about this
I was very surprised when vets were not at least on the top 3
Zombie as same as uncooperative patient plus they bite too
The reason why in supernatural shows, everyone goes to the vet. A zombie situation, in that context is not so different.
Vets, because they know about illness and trauma, can perform surgery of all kinds, can improvise medical tools in a pinch and know how to avoid getting bitten.
Exactly my mom’s running friend is a vet and gives herself her own stitches
Yeah!
...and also interact with fewer people. Particularly not injured or sick people coming to them specifically for assistance.
Hershel died in walking dead, though!
Agreed!
The school doctor with ice:peasant is peasant 😏
Moms are the best doctors and would outlive them all
A veterinarian would be ideal for a zombie or any apocalypse. Dealing with diverse anatomy without medical regulation means you can treat humans as well as guard and pack animals. You'd also have a lot of experience in avoiding getting bitten by your patients
It's true. + most veterinary ER clinics have all the stuff to treat human wounds, just our patients are mostly animals. Plus, i wonder if a zombie could be euthanized like humans & animals can be- we've definitely got the stuff to do that
@@snrkybrd summon the scientists, (of all fields) they can do lots of experiments, the biologists would probably be interested in your zombie poisoning results
@@snrkybrd just remembered a Kdrama where they had to perform a surgery on site but had no other resource other than a collapsed vet clinic nearby. 🤣🤣
I had to read this three times in order to realize it didn't say "avoiding getting bitten by your parents".
That's true. Sharpest reflexes in the world
wouldn’t veterinarians last a LONG time??? part of their training is to literally not get bit by something lol
This!!!! How do you forget the Vets??!!!
This is genius! Thank you ! 🤣
But.. aren't veterinarians for pets?-
Sure but you will be surprised how much those two domains intersect. Sometimes we prescribe human medications and I know one or two drugs for animals that humans can use. And there is a lot of collaboration especially in transmisible deseases from animals to humans. More than that, we can give first aid and do some basics interventions. We are still doctors. I don't say there are no differences. There are a lot. And bless doctors for all the hard work. At the least our patients don't complain 😂... not verbally more crawly. Under normal circumstances we have nothing to do with the humans, as we should, but I believe in absence of any other doctor, we can help.
@@Thatonemanwhomoonwalkstowork Humans are animals too... Mammals' physiology is pretty similar especially immune systems. And vets know more about infections since it's %90 of the cases they see in one day. They also know little bit about everything
I dunno. Radiologists can see in the dark.
For number 4 Dr. Mike will live which is good because he is one of the funniest/educational youtubers I have seen

Lol that’s exactly what I thought too that psychiatrist that had to learn surgery in a couple days lol 😂
Veterinary medicine. One they have to know a lot about a lot, and they can pretty much stumble their way through most humans. And in every single post apocalyptical movie The medic is always a vet

Dr Mike seems extra happy today
One of my favorite posts ever...
Can we talk about how in zombie shows/movies/books they always find a veterinarian and not a surgeon? Are vets deemed more likely to survive the apocalypse?
Vet #1:
Yup
• One of our professional skills is “not being bitten by patients”
• We actually have a good broad knowledge base for surgical, medical and GP things
• We’re used to improvising equipment because a lot of stuff is just not made for animals
• Meat safety is part of our training
• Our cars are often full of various equipment, especially in mixed practice
• We probably weren’t in the human hospital at the initial outbreak
Vet #2:
I like how the confidence of this answer implies that we as vets have at some point sat down and discussed how and why we would survive the apocalypse.
Vet #1:
You mean you haven’t?
Woah, impressive!
Nope. Most viruses start on animals then jump to human, most likely patient zero is a Vet.
@@RmcBlueSky key word: *most*, not all tho so who knows
Vets 😂
Wait what’s the meat safety for? Is that in case you’re treating a pig and it dies, so you have to move to plan B and bust out the grill and mesquite chips?
Actually, apocalypse survival mostly comes down to mental strength. Psychiatrists and therapists would do pretty well I think. They’d find a group, their influence would keep them together and they’d thrive pretty well.
Doctors have to see people die, nasty things such as digested food if they're performing surgery, they have to do so much work for a single patient while remaining professional. Doctors have a shit ton to do, peoples lives on their hand, they'd be just as equal in mental strength as psychiatrists and therapists are (depending on what they specialize in, I wouldn't say that feet doctors would be).
@@oleg6345 food and shelter are going to be solved by our abilities to work in groups. This requires mental strength.
@@oleg6345 intelligence and stamina will work when you're mentally stable lmfao, you see your family and friends dies in matter if days,

Knew emergency medicine would be first!
The psychiatry slander in this comment section is real lmao. Every survivor is gonna need serious therapy to deal with killing their zombie family members and knowing everyone but like 4% of humans is dead.
@@JimboJuice sorry to be that guy,
If in your experience you feel that way I can't argue, that's your experience, but from a statistical standpoint that's not true, alot of clash with patients and doctors especially in mental health is patient/doctor fit, meaning you might not even have a bad doctor just a bad fit, then there's also going through different therapy types till one starts working which they might not at all so you'll need to see another therapist who knows different methods. Additionally most people associate their therapist with their mental health so obviously they're going to automatically have a bad experience, therapy isn't usually fun,
And I can't claim this from you, Ill assume you don't, but alot of people think that because their psychiatrist is a doctor that they automatically have all the answers when all they really have is a big list of prescriptions, and psych training, which they may hand to a less trained but more experienced therapist or therapy trained psychologist (since they aren't MD's they don't prescribe medicine, they have a larger repertoire of therapies though) so many think that makes them a bad doctor even if it's just a shit show (similar to any medicine)
Also ill assume you know the difference between a therapist and psychiatrist
Meh

You forgot about veterinarians. We’re going to survive, since we have health, production and agronomy knowledge in many species. Also, we know how to deal with the whole animal behavior system and many restrictions techniques, which can help at the moment of dealing with zombies. We could easily apply our knowledge in human health, since humans very alike to some of the many organisms that we dedicated our time studying.
You know how to not get bitten most importantly.

My dad is almost 70. He's family practice. He's made it a goal to continue studying EVERYTHING and he built a gym in his home. So he and my step-mom are in awesome shape. He also owns 100 acres that is 2/3 surrounded by a river. He also trained my NP husband. I myself am, um, multitalented. I can do construction, cook (that includes hunt and field dress), sew, knit, throw pottery, grow a garden and I work on our cars unless it's too much. My parents raised me in a small town in the South, but they have had a very firm beneath in raising us. We were raised in a small town, but not to be small town. Also, as the only daughter, they wanted me to want someone, but taught me to never NEED someone. We were taught not to be racist and to embrace everyone and lift them up even if they spit in your face. I guess I think family practice should be first, because my father taught me to survive in any situation.
Plus he ran two different ERs over the years. I renege airbrush the night with him at the ER. My mom would pack dinner and c Is go with my dad. I was a daddy's girl.
Fake doctors tagging other fake doctors to help with their fake scenarios is just one of the best come ups ever lol. 5.5/10
As someone who has been to the ER multiple times, this is accurate. I remember having a panic attack and the nurses there handled me quite awesomely, all the while trying to save my sister's life. Keep in mind, that we're still in the pandemic, the ER is understaffed, and there was hardly any room to get around. The people workib for the ER are always so calm and compost, ready for literally ANYTHING, that I'd be surprised if they haven't planned what to do in a zombie apocalypse.
Pathologist is really important in a zombie apocalypse to find the cause of the zombie and to investigate the truth about it

I’d guess Emergency medicine will be first to go… Pt comes in with symptoms of lethargy and overwhelming hunger for living flesh. Um, waiting room… then a transition to full raving zombie.
This is a proximity to the entrance problem. As the main triage unit, I would expect an early encounter with a zombie before word was out about what was going on.
Yea, but right behind ortho, the ED has the most fit physicians. Ever narcan'd a junkie? Get ready for a fist fight, lol. So, EM physicians and staff have experience with restraining brain dead attackers. 🤣😂
@@dr.pewpew2619 You gave me such a great smile today!
Movies like "Planet Terror" agree with your comment. The sick go to the ER and the outbreak begins.
The best place to be imo in a hospital during a zombie outbreak is the lower levels. There are a few exit points, (only good for staff or a survivor who's found a staff member) but you need a badge to even get on that floor, and most importantly many rooms you can't access without clearance so if you have to be a sitting duck at least you have options. Kitchens are down there too so if your group can close any entry points you have some food supplies while you await rescue
@@thehat9684 our morgue is down there… so…
I always told my dad (a radiologist) that he would die first in a zombie outbreak

Veterinarians. They can approximate human medicine, well trained surgically, can do the job of obgyns/ortho/gen surg AND keep your food animals alive and somewhat healthy. Thank me later.
You think vets can do the job of obgyn/ortho/gen surg!??? 😂😂😂 what drug are you smoking
They can also adapt/jerry-rig shit they might need out of what they can find
Veterinarians really need to be at the TOP of that list!!
I heard that vets would survive really well because they can work under pressure and work with surgery and are good at improv
Wait, is there a stigma that Orthopedic surgeons are ripped? I’ve had quite a few and my surgeon didn’t start out ripped, but when we saw him for my last surgery he was kinda buff.
Kinda. Since they know the advantages of having a healthy muscuskeletal system and the disadvantage of not having one, theyd be inspired to get buff. In addition to that, I think their operations require more muscle power ig
Sort of? My mom worked in a hospital's emergency and says that orthopedic surgeons are most likely to be ripped since their operation procedure requires a lot of upper body strength (like hammering, cutting through bones, manipulating structure, those take serious power). She once treated an emergency trauma patient, assisting ortho surgeon, and she said it was one of the most energy consuming surgery that she had ever done
