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

I am considering pursuing a career in medicine, specifically I was thinking; I might try to become a doctor. But I preferably wouldn't want to overall be consumed by my job. Is it possible in this line of work to have a relatively relaxed work-life balance? I mean, 7 on - 7 off almost sounds pretty good.

If anyone will actually answer, please let it be people who work the profession or are in the field or something, instead of diverse smart-guys and gals

That is one tough job. I had a couple of experiences of being up a full day at a time and still working or chronic sleep deprivation and having to perform intensely, but I don't think it was for seven full days, and the work wasn't this kind of work.

This one is great

Are you kidding me!I've been retired for 6 yrs!In the mean time they've got scrub Vending machines!Actually pretty smart it will probably cut there cost from all the theft and waste❤❤❤❤

This is why medical mistakes happen. No fault of the Doctors, they are just over worked. I blame. the hospitals

Boo hooo. You KNEW the hours going in. I went oilfields out of high school. We averaged 70 hours, then, we were hitting 85-92 hours per week. Every job has its highs and lows

I bet doctors get so much nurse booty it’s crazy.

getting called in to help save lives..
its what you signed up for.

How does someone provide excellent error free care while exausted. No script mistakes...

ResPect 👌🎍😍

Got to love sketchy clifton

NO SLEEP!

I admire you very deeply. I couldn't do that. I am exhausted right now because of having to move along with not enough rest, but nothing like being awake for 22 hours straight.

I wander how eficient can you be after so many days of hard work.

Does this all pay off at the end? $ wise

Well dear doc, as you said ' we signed up for it'. Crying about it is just showing me, correct me if I am wrong, that you do not like your job as much as you thought you'll like it. It will get better ;-)

As a vet, I could say this relates to being in the field. You're working everyday until the op is over. No breaks, no sleep, but you must embrace the suck.

I'm used to sleep deprivation so I would be perfect as a Dr haha.

You can see your energy drop and speech starting to slow down significantly. It’s not right what they do to you. After that crazy work week then 24 hour shift and driving home? Might as well be hammered.

This coming from someone who does 13 hours shift at most with 1 hour drive each way.

I don’t know how you do it, but the system is broken.

aren't EM docs never on call???

That's rough.... it takes a very special person to make all these sacrifices to help service and support others

Don’t want a sleep deprived doctor working on me

scary to imagine an exhausted doctor providing emergency care.
wtf
an example of a broken system.
fancy technology operated by compromised provider.
duh
and we are to trust that providers know what they are doing,...

I won’t even trust my friend to drive on a 20 hour no sleep, but somehow it’s ok for a doctor to operate on 24 hour no sleep and 7 days of sleep deprivation? F**k this dumbass system. Pay more money, get more doctors.

The doctor is exposed under radiation....

There is a patient bleeding outside the hospital 2 hours away..
Dude the calmness..

This makes me glad I chose aviation over the medical profession.

I smoke cigarettes + drink ethyl alcohol-containing beverages + take amphetamine-containing pills + drink several caffeinated beverages + smoke THC-containing cannabis, all on a daily basis. Plus, I smoke methamphetamine sometimes. I’m in much better physical shape than most people. I can outrun the vast majority of the people in the United States. And I have no diseases or health problems. I do go to the gym at least five days a week, but my diet is only halfway healthy. I’m more knowledgeable than most people and I have a pretty good full-time job and got almost straight A’s in college, but I worked my ass off at studying, even while I was drinking at bars. Plus, I’m always happy.

Why do you think all those drugs are illegal? None of them have any side effects. None of them cause health problems. They’re illegal because pharmaceutical companies in the past (about 100 years ago) worked hard to make them illegal and spent money on creating fake advertisement to stigmatize those drugs so that people would buy their, less-effective drugs.

These days, pharmaceutical companies have developed many drugs that are not the kind of drugs that you use on a daily basis, which are beneficial too (such as drugs for treating certain types of cancer), so they’re not going to work toward destroying this truth.

Plus, now, it’s easy to spread information (via internet). That didn’t exist back in the day.

All drugs are legal for use, possession, and tax-paying sale now because I said so. 18 years of age or older for sales.

Heroin was replaced with opioid-containing pills too.

It’s just the truth. You’re welcome.

Hopefully more people will start smoking and/or drinking ethanol-containing beverages now.

Maybe everyone already is using all those drugs, so maybe nothing will change. At least I’m putting that out there (that information). It’s the truth, unlike 99.9% of everything on TV and 100% of everything in movies. It’s all fake.

Cool, but weird, huh?

Stop whining!!

I want to say thank you for your videos! I am working on the technology side and learning more about Radiology through your content.

Drs deserve more credit than they get , I appreciate every single one ! And the anesthesiologist

I know nothing of what a radiologist does but it seems cool you " just" take pics.

Gives you a lot of confidence being an emergency patient and depending on a doctor who is tired and most likely does not want to be there

So we won't let a truck driver pull these kind of hours. However, a doctor who has people's lives in his/her hands...?

I want

One Dr across all the floors at night at North Shore Hospital when my grandmother was dying. Had to wait hours to get any pain relief or anything signed off. Absolute joke our health system in NZ.

Thank you.

If yall have any extra kidneys hearts livers hmu I know a guy and can make us both a Lotta money 💵






























































I'm jk I'm not trying to get on a watch list 😂 just found this channel love it

I sure hope that you get paid for that

my first visit to your channel….BEILLIANT, thx

Pog

I'm an iranian med student. Here in iran I haven't heard any positive things about the residency. 15 shifts per month (24h) at the first year .even there are 36 h shifts for interns!
I'm at my first year(here MD is approximately 7year=half on it is on hospitals)

Thanks for the video great job

All this stress plus you're never sure if you'll even have a job tomorrow. I mean, the way everybody is laying off doctors left and right because the general population keeps getting healthier all the time. Walk through a hospital these days and it's like a ghost town. People are no longer obese, they are exercising like crazy, avoiding unhealthy foods, etc., and who smokes cigarettes anymore? Maybe you can get into Veterinary School since you at least have some experience treating humans. That's where the real $$$ is!

I’m starting to regret wanting to be a Doctor

Thank everything you do
