REAL Day in The Life of a DOCTOR - ON CALL EMERGENCY

[Music] [Applause] [Music] [Applause] [Music] [Music] [Music] some of you all have left comments saying that I only show the positive side of residency and of course there are negatives and I'm going to show you the negatives of residency and I'll start with being brought in at midnight on Sunday [Music] all right so like I said it's just about midnight on Sunday I just got called in from home so let me rewind a little bit this is actually my seventh day straight we are currently doing seven on seven off like I said in my prior videos so we worked seven days on and have seven days up afterwards the only problem with that is you split the whole wheat of call between two fellows so me and my co fellow Clayton so every other day we are on call so essentially one day I'm not on call and then I'm on call for 24 hours and keep going so I was on call Tuesday Thursday and Saturday Sunday up until Monday morning at 7 a.m. so every day since it's been essentially the same amount of work almost but half of the staff you have to kind of pick up the slack which means I've worked pretty much 15 hour days plus every single day so far and today is my seventh day I left today about 5:00 p.m. I thought I was doing great thought I would get a good night's sleep hang out with Andriana tonight but then I got a call at 8:00 p.m. and found out there was a patient bleeding at an outside hospital that was being transferred here and the hospital was probably two hours away from here transport takes forever and they didn't actually get here until midnight which is fine because you know it's about a two-hour case to get out of here at 2:00 a.m. and I don't have to go to work tomorrow so it's not that big of deal I'm just a little tired and was hoping that I could enjoy I seventh day in a row just relax but such as life so you guys wanted to see the terrible parts of residency so this is pretty bad can't get much worse than being called in at midnight when you're almost done with your seven days straight spent so one thing I failed to mention that while I was driving here I got called by the ICU and they told me great news that there is also another patient bleeding at a different outside Hospital being transferred here emergently that we will likely have to investigate as well so now I have two cases back-to-back they probably won't start till about 1:00 a.m. or so and hopefully I can get out of here before the Sun comes up so I'm sure you can see how tired I am currently spent a long week my hair is getting longer by the day here but anyways I'm gonna go get changed watch me as I slowly get tired throughout the night and what can you do we signed up for it all right so it's about 15 minutes later I've got changed as you can see and what you all probably don't know because a lot of you all see the emergency stuff and TV shows but there's this huge like waiting period the whole game is hurry up and wait these patients we have transferred here the ICU teams have to assess them in the unit they have to either put a central line and intubate them or whatnot change their presser requirements all that stuff tune them up then they can transport them down here so essentially I get here I do all the waiting do the note look over the imaging plan our way we're going to know about this procedure and then once the patient gets down to our suite then I will probably attending in and wake them up to come in because they usually look pretty cool spy so right now I'm just going over this I look over the next patient and wait for this one to come down and we'll get started all right so it's now 12:45 and and I'm still waiting for the patient to kind of get down here I spoke to the ICU they want to intubate the patient up there where they bring them down so that there's nice and stable for us that way anesthesia can just take the reigns when they're down here so in the meantime I figured I would show you the inside of an interventional radiology suite because I know you guys have seen pictures of it but don't really know what the heck all these things do so I'll go ahead and show you this right now and at least you guys have an idea of what this stuff looks like all right so this is an interventional radiology suite super fancy and beautiful let me flip this camera around so you guys can see all right so first and foremost our big CRM so this is actually turned sideways it's usually a sinner like this so that flat plate detector is up top over the patient this is actually the part where the extra comes out of or they tube it goes under the patient so that all the scatter goes down to the floor this thing rotates on a hinge as you can see right here it can go pretty much anywhere and has this fancy blue light at the bottom which is as a nice touch so this is the main workhorse of the interventional suite right here next we have the anesthesia machine over here and a little fix this system where we get all the medications well I don't then we have our table let me go extra wide here so this is our table we have a little mushroom tip right here as I like to call it it moves the table pretty much everywhere this brings the C arm all the way from there to the actual patient column a whole bunch of buttons here that change a bajillion different things this unit actually does a cone beam CT which is basically a CT but not as good of quality because it can't do the same thing that a normal CT scanner does we have a few fancy things here we do so the vascular team does a lot of a Horta work in here so we could get pretty fancy but there is setup here and then as you see right there on the big screen we have one big screen over there and one big screen right here which basically is where we see the x-ray and x-ray will take up this whole screen right here while we're doing the procedure please move on a hinge as well so as you can see everything is pretty immobile so we have some of our lights so we can see what we're doing and then we have all of the stock supplies balloons Gammons wires catheters etcetera etcetera etc and some random supplies here another TV stream and this is the whole view of the interventional suite right here so it's pretty cool we have the best technology in medicine room we have lime glass so you can watch the procedure without getting irradiated also I know you guys are going to be in the comments saying that I don't ever show you what I actually do when I'm at the hospital but that's because there's something called HIPAA and we have to respect patient privacy so I can't show you all of the procedure or deviate of any information about the patient's or procedure that I'm doing so I have to keep it really general but if I did time while making this video I'll show you some examples of what I mean by bleeding and what we do in interventional radiology and how we fix that problem and so one case is officially done I was about two hours long Jenna get started it's all pretty late but we're done with the first one we are checking the patient's labs for the second patient to bring down oh by the way it's four am currently so pump it up since 6:30 and so we're approaching 22 hours of being awake compiled with seven days of minimal sleep total so hang in there waiting on the next case currently so we'll see how that goes also since I won't be here tomorrow morning I'm gonna go ahead and dictate that case because usually these difficult cases are long and take a lot of time to dictate so I'm going to do that now so that I don't have to do it later and forget everything I did all right so luckily we didn't end up doing that last case it's gonna have to be pushed until the morning and yeah that officially concludes this night it's about 5:30 I'm gonna get changed real quick and go to my car alright so I guess it is 5:30 now and we only did that one piece because the other patient was stable case took a little longer that we into something so now I'm going home I guess I finished out what they bang so they say nice 24-hour shift seven so you wanted to see they're not so fun side residency [Music]
