  • Join me for a 26 hour call shift in the hospital and see a real day in the life of a doctor! I'm currently on my nephrology rotation, which is the medical specialty of the kidney. I'm responsible for seeing patients admitted to the nephrology ward and any new patients in the emergency department or ICU.
    What happens when a person's kidneys shut down?
    What IS kidney failure?
    What is hemodialysis?
    When do you use dialysis?

    Nephrology has always been a field I’ve kind of neglected because I never thought I would find it interesting enough to be passionate about early studies surrounding it. (I’m an aspiring doctor in the home stretch of high school!) But after watching this incredible video, I realized I’ve been wrong! Kidneys really are one of the most important factors of life support for the human body, and the technology developed to assist their function is so incredible. Thank you so much for enlightening me! (And I will definitely be making notes of your dialysis indication hack.)

    As someone who's been in and out of doctors offices and hospitals, it's really cool to see the little behind the scenes stuff. Especially because I imagine the patients can be stressful when it comes to how things work, especially if they are in pain or distress. I would get frustrated in the emergency room, but kept myself as respectful to all of the wonderful people working there because I can only imagine how your past 24 hours were. Being able to watch it is awesome. It kind of makes me want to go into the medical field. The fact that you strain yourselves day in and day out just to make sure you find out if, say, my chest pains are worrisome, or if my medication is working, is something that we as humans can't express enough gratitude for. Thank you for helping others, shining bright and showing people that you can do a physically and demanding, seemingly never-ending job, and still have a smile on.

    I had this question for a while! I wonder how many times a week do you normally go in for a shift? It seems like your shifts are pretty long, so how many days do you need to recuperate?

    I love your channel, you’re so inspiring! Thank you so much for all your hard work, dedication and time!
    I do have a question! I wondered if you were allowed to stay and sleep after your 26h call shifts?!
    I hope so! I would hate to think you are at risk of something happening driving or walking!

    I enjoy watching your videos, you are very good at explaining procedures.
    I see there are diffident colours of the blood test tube caps , can you explain why there are different colour of these tubes.
    Thanks

    • @ellepowick7700
      @ellepowick7700 5 років тому +1

      Dalia Barnouti In Australia, each coloured cap is a different type of blood test the Dr wants doing. Example, a pink top container is for when we need to match a patients blood type for a possible blood product transfusion. This is called a “group and hold” because we’re figuring out the patients blood type and holding that type blood

    • @temeparareihana4116

      They represent what type of blood it is and what it is for and all of that

    • @micheller8404
      @micheller8404 5 років тому +4

      I know you asked her but I’m a phlebotomist and I’d figure I’d help answer. In the US it’s dependent on what the doctor has ordered. Each tube has a particular additive or lack of.
      A blue top is normally for coagulation tests. When spun it leaves citrated plasma. This is used to test for clotting factors. Such as a prothrombin time/Protime/INR
      A gold top is called an SST, you can use the red top too. It’s a serum tube. So once you spin the blood down in a centrifuge it separates the blood and leaves serum on top. You can use serum for a LOT of tests. Chemistry tests like a metabolic panel(usually use plasma in the US but can use serum too), to rule out certain diseases, etc.
      Green tops or PSTs are heparinized. They when spun instead of plasma have blood on bottom and plasma on top. These are also used for chemistry tests such as a metabolic panel, potassium, antibiotic levels, magnesium levels, acetaminophen, acetone etc. lots with this one.
      Lavender tubes are for hematology tests. So tests that look at different blood counts/cells.
      Gray tops are usually for latic acids which are used to determine sepsis, and for ETOH(alcohol levels)
      Pink tops are normally for type and screens. You can draw a pink tube and get the persons blood type and cross match it to match it to donor blood so they can have a transfusion if they need one. They can also be for ABO/RH in women.
