Generation Z, or those born between 1996 and 2010, is unlike any generation that came before. They are 'digital natives,' born into a world of technology and the internet. These technologies, particularly smartphones, are an integral part of their lives and even carry over to their doctor visits. For many medical professionals, this can be frustrating and even disruptive. From a Gen Z perspective, though, they see it as a tool for information and a way of multitasking rather than a distraction.
This generation has a unique ability to rapidly switch their focus between tasks, fueled by a constant stream of digital stimuli. While this behavior may be advantageous in a fast-paced digital world, it can seem inattentive and disrespectful in a healthcare setting. However, it's not as much about a lack of respect as it is about a different way of interacting with the world around them.
Yet, this very capability to multitask, when overdone, may lead to a state of constant mental fatigue and an inability to focus on one task at a time. This potential state of perpetual distraction can have health implications, including disrupted sleep patterns.
With the growing acceptance and legalization of cannabis and the convenience of over-the-counter sleep aids, Generation Z is more likely to turn to these substances to cope. These solutions might seem quicker and less daunting than seeking professional advice. As a result, doctors need to be aware of this trend and approach the discussion of substance use with sensitivity, understanding the societal context in which Gen Z is making these choices.
The internet, with its wealth of information, has made Generation Z confident in their ability to self-diagnose. Having access to a vast array of health-related data and personal experiences shared online, they feel empowered to take their health into their own hands. They see 'Doctor Google' as a useful tool for understanding their symptoms and possible treatments.
However, this reliance on the internet can lead to misinformation and misunderstanding. When faced with professional medical advice that contradicts their online findings, they might react dismissively, leading to the common Gen Z behavior of eye-rolling at doctors. This behavior can strain the doctor-patient relationship and potentially undermine the quality of care.
Despite these potential issues, it's important to note that Gen Z's tech-savvy nature and independent research habits can be harnessed positively in healthcare. In today's digitized world, where telemedicine is gaining ground, Gen Z's digital nature can pave the way for a new era in healthcare delivery.
Gen Z's propensity for self-research fosters patient autonomy. They actively seek to understand their health, leading to more informed discussions with their healthcare providers. This proactive approach towards health management can pave the way for a collaborative healthcare system, encouraging dialogue and shared decision-making between patients and doctors.
Furthermore, Gen Z's adeptness with technology can benefit healthcare providers by enabling them to reach out and connect in innovative ways. From sharing health information on social media platforms to offering virtual consultations, providers can meet Gen Z where they are, bridging the gap between traditional and modern healthcare practices.
In summary, Generation Z's behaviors present both challenges and opportunities in healthcare. Their reliance on technology can be a double-edged sword, causing frustrations among medical professionals but also providing avenues for improved patient autonomy and healthcare delivery. Understanding these behaviors and the reasons behind them is key for healthcare providers to effectively engage with and care for this unique generation.

I am a "boomer" and I have had 3 surgeries. Nope, no call from the anesthesia doctor the night before. Only one of those surgeries was before medical school. The other 2 were when I was in private practice. By that time, I knew much about brain processing, anesthesia effects, and many psychiatric topics regarding mind/body interface. I am a retired psychiatrist (MD) and was board certified in psychotherapy & integrative medicine. Until I saw this channel, I would have never guessed this professional included this type of service in his practice. This doctor is a pleasant surprise to me; it is a joy to know of someone who is this caring.

I have had about a dozen surgeries and I have NEVER had an anesthesiologist call me the night before a surgery! I would be very comforted if I did receive such a call as I totally respect that anesthesia can be a dangerous part of surgery. I want to be knowledgeable about anesthesia as well as what the surgeon is going to do. I usually meet the anesthesiologist about 15 minutes before the surgery. I am new to your channel and I am really enjoying it. Thank you!

When I had a torn rotator cuff, not once did I see the Dr. When the PA suggested surgery as an option I told her I would never let a Dr perform surgery on me who couldn't be bothered to see his patients. I did PT instead.

The eyeroll. They've been told about the mind-body/breathe stuff since they were in pre-school, and they know it doesn't help them the way it did our generation that grew up with very different advice. (GenX here- the answer was always, ""put on your big kid pants and deal with it.") They come home from preschool and say "Tommy makes me soooo mad!" and we tell them that next time Tommy makes them mad, take a deep breath, stretch and relax, then ignore him. Stressed about a test? Slow breathe and center yourself, you've got this. Take a fall playing soccer? Take a deep breath and shake it off. They don't want us to tell them to breathe five counts in and five counts out. They want empathy and a solution to their problems. They are so sick of hearing it, and I can imagine that in the OR, they came for solutions to their medical problem, not to be told the same old mind/body stuff, and it puts them off. Hey. at least we didn't tell them to put on their big kid pants and deal with it, right?

gen zer here. yes, especially with anxiety disorders it really does not help at all or makes it worse. im sick and tired of hearing "it will be over soon, youll be okay" because i am well aware. its just so cliché. unfortunately, i cant control my emotions. its called an anxiety DISORDER for a reason. i have never been able to logic out my anxiety and id prefer when a doctor does everything at my pace so my nervous system doesnt get excited too fast. tell me what exactly is gonna happen in the exact order, and let me prepare for each step. but telling me to breathe and hold someone's hand, it just makes me angry. im just trying to get ahold of my emotions. no, holding someone's hand, breathing and or knowing ill be okay wont make me feel better (its never helped and weve been told this a thousand times!). to me, its basically just telling me to "suck it up". even if ive had an experience with the procedure before, things have changed. i wasnt always like this and it just feels like the doctors assume you dont already know all the logic and the blah blah blah about it which is a bit condescending. of course the same thing wont work for everyone so maybe the best option is to just ask what the patient wants in terms of helping them to chill out

@@kelmac1618 i never said I wasn't able to control my behavior. a little eye rolling isn't that serious. I'm just explaining why some gen z will do it. It's not like I'm lashing out at the doctor or being intentionally rude. It's just that if they're going too fast and saying these cliche things I'll have to take a longer time to get ready for whatever is going to happen that is causing me that stress. Let's also realize the way you do the eye roll is important. It's not like I'm intentionally eye rolling AT the doctor, usually I just look away and be like "ugh, this again?" And just internally feel the minor frustration. But it could be really easy to eye roll AT the doctor accidentally but perhaps its a visceral reaction to being told that every time they feel something and it never helping so it feels like it's a given that people know it doesn't work and are just saying it because it's easy And just so you know why the controlling emotions plays an important part. It's because if I don't get them under control I cannot keep doing whatever the procedure is. my anxiety is so extreme and will grow so big I will feel completely out of control, not feel real and feel like I'm going to die at that moment. Its not just little kiddies anxiety for a vaccine. I wish it was that. And as you've said controlling behavior is important but if i get to that point I won't feel like I can control myself, I'll feel disconnected from all parts of body. Id just rather be calm and collected when doing a procedure than trying to slap myself back to reality 😂

Sometimes you just gotta let it pass because for me it's brain chemistry. If I don't take my meds I will panic out of nowhere and nothing will help it bc one second I'm existing the other my heart us racing and I feel like I will die if I don't have out right now

Last month I had to have 2 procedures in one surgery and was very nervous even though I’ve had at least 20 surgeries due to Crohns Disease. My anesthesiologist was so cool and asked what helps calm me and I told him that I love to listen to Pink Floyd when I’m stressed. He prescribed me Marinol to calm me and to help reduce nausea and when I was wheeled into the operating room he had Pink Floyd playing on a CD player. I’ll never forget him as he made that experience so relaxing for me.

Boomer here. I don't think I've ever had an anesthesiologist call me in advance. Maybe that's something new? In person, they've introduced themselves, and said, "Do you have any questions," but I've always thought it odd that I might have any questions about their highly specialized work, so I've just said, "No." All I can do is have "anxious trust" in the anesthesiologist in that terrifying moment. I never thought that question was an overture to talk to me as an individual patient with individual needs. After listening to your channel, I will take that moment as an invitation to comment on my being overly-sensitive to every drug ever invented. Last time, I had to be kept overnight for what should have been an in-and-out procedure, because my breathing was so weak afterwards. Now I will be brave enough to experiment with the possibility of making myself be seen as an individual person with quirky needs. So, thank you for that.

I was waiting on a call from the actual surgeon because I was ready to cut loose and go to a different hospital. Never did meet the anesthesiologist.

And I seen this horrific look on the nurses face and asked my now ex to hit the red call button. He did and before I knew it I was being wheeled into the OR. I asked can you stop and explain whats happening and the nurse at the head my bed running down the hallway said no we need to deliver your baby in the next 5 minutes other wise your child will die. He was delivered 5 and half minutes later. And my dr said the entire team broke out in joyful claps and cheers to hear my baby scream and cry before he was fully delivered. She explained it as one of the most joyous responses she had ever personally witnessed by her team. All I remember is waking up screaming if my son was ok! After the anesthesiologist said yes your son is fine and your family is here. He gave me some more meds to help me calm down. I met my sweet little boy 3 hours later. And thank the good lord above there was no other complications associated.

I had a ridiculously traumatic experience 2 months ago with a nerve block. I was NOT told beforehand that they would want to do a nerve block before my surgery and the anesthesiologist came in, dropped the news on me WHILE he was prepping in a very rushed way and talking way too fast for me to understand. It sent me into a full blown panic attack and his response was to impatiently look at his watch and say 'do you want this done or not?' While muttering something under his breath about wasting time and the schedule already being behind (which was not my fault at all). He and his assistant were both very put off by the fact that i had questions and was crying in fear. I ultimately had it done (in hind sight i wish i hadnt because there was no way i was able to make informed consent in the way they did it and afterwards found out that there are risks involved that would have made me opt out of that. But at the time, the way i was being treated made me feel that i didnt have a choice) and now that im 8 weeks post op, im STILL experiencing numbness in my leg. I also feel like he retaliated against me for 'wasting his time' by slamming the propofol into my IV as hard and fast as he could with no numbing and i went unconscious while i was screaming and my entire arm was on FIRE!! What kind of options would a patient have after enduring such a horrific experience?

I had something similar happen years ago when I had surgery on my hand for nerve and tendon repair. I had no idea they were doing a beir block.? I don't remember but I think that's what it was called. To this day I don't know the reason why they did that. Anyway it was a military hospital as I was on active duty at the time. When I woke up I was literally screaming and crying in pain as my entire left arm felt like it was on fire. The anesthesiologist was there and he was yelling at me "what the hell are you screaming about?" It was terrible and I have never forgotten that to this day. I am going in for another surgery in a couple of weeks for a hernia repair and yes I am a little nervous about it. So I get what you are saying. I hope the pain you are having goes away quickly. I didn't really have that but I can see where it could be a problem with that type of anesthesia.

Failure of anaesthetic and pain relief has to be one of the worst experiences… your expectation is that you won’t feel anything once it’s administered. Being trapped in a machine or on an operating table when the failure occurs has to be one of the most traumatic events. In my case the consultant and nurses were ‘managing’ the pump. Wish I’d had an anaesthetist. They apologised afterwards…

It's different in each generation but also the same. I'm a caboose Boomer-Gen X is right after me-and yes, neighbors would be parents for everyone and mete out any necessary punishment, and the kids' parents would agree. Even the beat cops would know the neighborhood kids and keep an eye on them. But there were also the latchkey kids who didn't have parents at home and had to let themselves in and wait for their parents to come home from work. Often there would be a single mom doing all the raising. I was such a kid, and I was very proud of my shiny, newly-copied, house key which I hung on my chain with my dog tags fashioned with my school emblems. I think Gen Y or millennials were the first generation to actually connect with parents by cell phone. Now it's commonplace for students to have their smart phones with them in school.

There are breathing exercises not just for meditation but for singing, running, yoga and so on which might be a better way for people to understand their connection to breathing. I think yoga is closest to meditation in that people often forget to focus on their breathe but if they do, they can get into deeper stretches. In swimming, if you mess up your breath, you might swallow water so it's probably the most obvious reason to practice breathing. I think any exercise is meditative and might be more helpful to someone who is not used to (or interested in) staying still.

Older Gen Z here: In regard to the eye rolls and side eyes with bringing up mind/body chillaxing with breathing exercises and such, I find that in mine and my friends cases at least, being told to try these things almost feels like an “obviously” or an “are you serious bro? Do you think I haven’t tried that sort of things before?”. Being so aware of all of these metal health and coping mechanisms almost has a downside, in that they feel so common and talked about so often that we don’t give them the chance past a few minutes or a couple days to actually see if they work. Like it’s just this list with hundreds of methods that we try one and go “eh nope, what’s next?”. Most of my group are more opposed to drugs and such too since we fear addiction or think that being in pain or uncomfortable during the process is like normal or expected so it’s less the reaching for chemical aids and more almost just this normalization of the persistent state of anxiety and discomfort. (Sorry if this is written bad it is late and I am still very messed up sleep recovering from recent surgery of mine)

You woke up? I had one done and was awake the whole time. Granted that was 20+ years ago so maybe it's different now? In my case, there was some delay of a few weeks in getting to the hole-making part of the procedure, so my bone graft had solidified too much. Doctor had to practically climb on top of me and used a freaking hammer to pound a chisel tool into my upper jaw. I just kept my eyes closed and pictured I was walking on a stunning beach somewhere tropical. Each pounding of the hammer became a coconut that had fallen off a tree onto my head in my mind - LOL When he was done he asked how I was doing... I told him of my little vacation in my mind and the annoying coconuts interrupting my relaxing walk.. Doc was amazed I wasn't traumatized and said he'd suggest that little mind game scenario to others in the future. LOL I learned about "mind games" when I took a natural childbirth class and I just applied it to that dental situation. Sorry you woke & were unprepared to cope better. I could see how that must've been incredibly scary & upsetting. Waking from anesthesia can also be so disorienting so you didn't have a chance to deal with the situation with your full wits about you. 😢💝 ((hugs))

@@brookebenton8192 I'm an oral surgeon assistant and while its not common for people to go to under for just a single straight implant when the tooth is already missing, in my case a majority have to take the tooth/teeth out first and get bone graft before the implant goes in. A lot of people do want to go to sleep for that because its about a 45-1hr surg depending on the tooth, compared to a 20 min one when the tooth isnt there and the bone density allows us to put one in immediately. There are times when we can just take the tooth out and implant it immediately, depends on the bone. I'd say like 65% of people go to sleep for the Extraction/Bone Graft possible implant, maybe 80% stay awake for just the implant procedure.

I'm glad you are meeting Gen-Z patients who are wise to new ideas. Guess what? Many are that way because their parents taught them. I learned not to roll my eyes outwardly because an eye roll was met with physical violence. I am grateful that most Gen-Z people are NOT getting that response. I agree that Gen-Z has had to live through a lot more crises than most. I grew up in an abusive home yet still feel that my childhood was better than most Gen-Z kids. I am of the generation that still got to ride bikes and run around the neighborhood because we didn't have 24/7 news leaving our parents terrified for our safety. We didn't have helicopter parents. I am gay and came out when AIDS was whispered about as "The Gay Cancer". I look at the younger people today, I see how much more open they are, how much more accepting they are of diversity. It makes me feel glad for all the struggle I endured to try to make things better for the next generation. I'm glad you acknowledge the loneliness epidemic.

I'm in Gen Z, and I would say the eyeroll in response to breathing exercise recommendations is due to it being kind of trite at this point. Social media touts it everyday and many people frequently recommend it irl. We've heard of deep breathing millions of times, so it's both a "YEAH I KNOW" and a "been there done that" type of deal. At least that's my point of view. I think it might get less of an eyeroll if it's qualified with something like, "that's not going to cure your anxiety/nerves but it should make you feel a bit better for awhile." Takes away the feeling that you're being told, "you'd be fine if you just took a deep breath silly lol! anxiety! so simple to manage!" Which I think comes from uneducated people spreading that viewpoint online, not really medical professionals.

The eye roll thing: I’m a psychologist and a millennial, and I completely understand the gen z reaction. From my perspective it’s totally valid. There’s a way in which “mindfulness” and oversimplified statements like “just breathe” have been misappropriated and overused, sometimes in a way that puts the onus of managing anything-even unmanageable stress-on the individual. For a generation facing global pandemics, catastrophic climate change, geopolitical conflict at an amplified level, financial impossibilities, and a million other stressors beyond their control, being told to meditate or breathe can feel condescending and dismissive. As though the insane stressors gen z is inheriting can be solved by breathing. Even worse, there’s a dynamic in which it can seem that older generations are ignoring the need to actually enact large scale change to fix societal problems while instead placing the “problem” and the need to change on the individual who just needs to “breathe” or use their coping skills. I know you’re talking about breathing in the context of surgery, and I fully acknowledge the value of breathing and mindfulness, etc. but these things have been commodified and overused and misused, and I also get that 100%. Edit: And ketamine is different in that it’s not simply the mind managing the body. It’s a drug-enhanced experience, which gives it a different “vibe” for many people.

As someone who worked in a front office of Doctors with patient concerns, I have heard this going as far back as 1980's about their frustration with those they are tending. I think there is a reasonably normal need to blow off steam. That being said, it's not just the "cannabis" problem. We've called patients the night before who are higher than kites on ETOH. Period. People are scared silly prior to surgeries and that has to be allowed. I think that one way of preventing such problems (my .01) is to have patients meet with someone trained in dealing with patients prior to surgeries to help talk them down and calm them. Any possible mind altering substance (let's not just pick on Cannabis here) 24 hours prior to a surgery is an issue. Skipping social workers, counselors or advisors prior to any serious health related situation needs to be addressed. Thank you,

I'm a cusper! And my thoughts re: eyerolling is that, to be honest, I've often heard breath control exercises used as platitudes, rather than one useful tool among a variety of coping mechanisms. I can only use myself as an example, but often I've been told to control my breathing (aka control /myself/) in settings that are hostile or that I'm trying to change. EG/ I was once angry with an instructor for taking away my mobility aid (I was using a crutch at the time) during a test. (I think she thought I was sneaking notes in the handle or something???) When I demanded she give it back to me, I was told by the proctor to just take deep breaths in and out and then continue my test. Rather than acknowledge a problem with the test setting or even the direct injustice of that moment, I felt like I was being told that my anger was the problem to reign in. In less extreme examples: every year or so as I was growing up, we'd have people come and give little breathing seminars in my classrooms. This is, I think, a great opportunity and a great idea! But as a kid and a teen, it read to me as a way to try to get students to fix themselves rather than acknowledge that the school itself might be creating a hostile setting for our mental health. I guess, in sum, I think gen z folk tend to see a recommendation to focus on the body as a way to avoid acknowledging, or even blame us for, negative feelings. It's not really taught or talked about as a helpful tool to make coping easier; it's treated like a cure-all, which makes the experience of what's going on around us feel unstoppable or uncontrollable. It's like being told to not share if something is wrong or defend ourselves, but rather to just manage it ourselves and be quiet. I hope this helps? Again--only my experience.

Just because I speak out and say something is wrong, doesn't mean I'm not working the problem from my end as well! What a _novel concept_ , tackling something from multiple directions at once! Especially when the blame is justified, I do it not because I can't deal with it myself, but because the people to blame should be held accountable for things they do. Your approach of never speaking up leads to systemic issues never being fixed, because if nobody ever speaks up about issues, how can you expect anyone to feel pressured enough to actually try changing the way things are? Tl;dr it's really laughable to accuse each and every one of us of speaking up to avoid having to work on things ourselves, when the two are not mutually exclusive and many of us do in fact try to tackle problems _and_ talk about their existence.

I appreciate your content so much, as someone who has had frequent medical treatments due to a chronic condition, its really comforting listening to a very confident and accomplished professional talk about the profession in a way that both grounded and knowledgeable. As a Gen Z, I completely understand the eye-roll, I catch myself doing that often too, and it sucks so much. It's almost an automatic response, a deflection when I'm faced with emotional exhaustion. Growing up in a time where I feel completely powerless, where there's no future, no light at the end of the tunnel, the mantra that older generations love to recite is "be mindful of yourself and things will be better". A world where I know I would never retire unless I start to exploit others, a world where the very nature itself is disappearing around us but people are more busy talking about how trans people are destroying the world, a world where we're constantly hyper aware of every bit of injustice that happens around us, but the only thing being said is "its not my problem, so why worry" by every one older. Breathing exercises aren't going to give anyone their futures back, it feels like a superstition. The advice a generation growing up in a world where hard work DID provide them with security of meditation and relaxation are keys to a healthy life feel like baseless rituals. I would rather try and grapple with intrapersonal struggles than to try and uncoil the man made horrors beyond what humans are evolved to understand that I will be inheriting while being able to do nothing meaningful about it. Its an endless crisis of everything with no comfort or security while needing to do more than any recent generation in order to simply survive. Saying all that, you are right. We should be more mindful, we should be more present. Its the generational avoidant attachment style that we adapted because no matter what happens, we're screwed. But like you say, that's not healing, its a way to avoid being hurt. When the older generations tell us to do these things, Its genuinely helpful, I appreciate that in hindsight because that comes from a place of care. It sucks so much and its so embarrassing that the automatic reaction to this care and help that I've developed is this snarky deflection, to not be present, and to not participate. But at the same time, it feels so callus, the issues we're dealing with as a generation are much lower down on the hierarchy of needs, we're growing up in and being abandoned in a landscape that is people are worried about surviving in more so than they are about self actualization. If it seems like a silly idea to tell 18th century French peasants to try and do grounding exercises, the bad news is that the inequality that we are being forced into is worse than what the revolutionaries were going through. We NEED to do better, and we NEED to be more present, and I want to so badly, but I cant really if I'm struggling to even survive, and the peers around me are too.

Anesthesiologists are always my favorite doctors in the hospital. Having a connective tissue disorder and many comorbidities letting surgeons do their thing is so nerve wracking! I have so many allergies, intolerances, and other issues I'm used to managing but surgeons practically roll their eyes at me. There's always at least one thing that goes wrong but it's never with the anestnesiologist. Every one I've ever had has listened carefully, discussed plans, and been extremely careful and empathetic. I'm not Gen Z but my kids are, they are interesting (and challenging) for sure.

This was soooo interesting to me as a clinical social worker and mom of an awesome 22 y/o Gen Z daughter. I LAUGHED OUT LOUD as you were describing experiences so painfully familiar to me. These kids are living in the moment, (The weed is tonight, the surgery is tomorrow, why's this guy calling kind of thing..) I don't even know if at one time (when younger) my daughter would have even picked up the phone! I agree that this is a stressed generation, but let me challenge you to look at this phone behavior as not always necessarily maladaptive. (And believe me it drove me INSANE for years.) They are masters at multitasking, and they have a skill set that we don't/can't always relate to or even understand fully. They may in fact be SO tuned in that they are communicating what is happening second by second on a number of platforms to friends and strangers and they assume "he's got it, it's cool". We may see it as rude, distracted or anxious, but that could be an interpretation because it's not us. (This is coming from woman who was convinced I'd raised a zombie.) That "kid" moved to the city she loves (NYC), fearlessly navigated her way around it with precision and speed. She now resides with friends, works hard and is very happy and capable. But I get it, because not too many years ago the former me was in a perpetual state of 'triggered'. Love your video's and subscribed tonight. YOU ROCK DOC!

By sleep aides I assume you mean something like melatonin? If so, chronic insomnia has a pretty heavy genetic factor which lines up with your niece's mother taking a sleep aid too. I believe it's about a third of all insomnia that's inherited, though I've seen it regularly marked as anywhere between 58 and 31 percent being inherited.

​@@MedicalSecrets lol. I have had one surgery done as an adult, at a teaching hospital. However, my surgeon was head of Department. The pre-op nurse who met with me about a week before the operation did not answer all of my questions. Since I taught, I was worried about intubation wrecking my voice, because a colleague had gone to that same hospital and had that problem. Not getting an answer to my question, I was actually ready to cut loose and go to another hospital just a few days before the scheduled surgery. The surgeon herself called me and answered my questions. I never met the anesthesiologist. When I presented the surgeon with a letter the morning of, explaining why I did not want to work with person X, I had a friend sitting there with me so that I wouldn't be gaslighted. I didn't want her to think that it was a pre-op freak out. She told me that person was on vacation and that I had no worries. That was all I needed to know; my blood pressure was actually low when they took it. But never met my anesthesiologist.

I recently had a light sedation out patient cervical epidural. I had 3 nurses trying to start an IV and then the anesthesiologist steped in, he started my IV in 30 seconds flat. He said he worked with children so that is why he was so good at it. As you can imagine children have smaller veins making it even harder. Well 3 holes later and i was all hooked up. I actually really liked that anesthesiologist he was super smart and very kind and funny. We need more doctors that care in this world and they all need to follow the rules less.

I’ve been training a bunch of Gen Zs nurses assistants in last 6 months on a surgical inpatient unit. Your talk was intriguing to me, because I’m in your generation and certainly they are different. The eye rolling is like their sign language. It’s like I’m not speaking my feelings but I’m expressing using my body parts. They don’t mean malicious way, but they are emotionally vulnerable. Yes, I agree they have greater potentials than our generation. But they certainly gets into our skins and challenges us. Instead of talking to me directly they would go to the manager. Perhaps avoiding a direct communication. Their fault suddenly turns into my fault. When situation is urgent at work, to Gen Z is not urgent. They certainly dominates the moment.

Re: EYE ROLLING. Gen Z has been "Marketed" to all their life, therefore they understand marketing. Frankly attempting to engage them in a collaborative discussion could be seen as quite FRIGHTENING. Instead, try something more authoritative like, "Anesthesia is really good at putting you under and keeping you under. But there is one thing that takes our work to the next level.... when patients do (X), we find that they come out of surgery with fewer complications and less pain." (NOTE: If you DO get an eye roll, at least they have engaged with you. ENGAGEMENT is always positive but frequently frightening in this sad world of isolation. Go ahead as their response means they have let down their guard even 'tho it seems like it means the opposite. ) "I will give you two techniques. First is as simple as slow, deep breathing (demonstrate several cycles) which starts the relaxation response. The other one is ..... (second technique & explanation of what happens). I have a couple of other options if neither of these work for you, but I have found that at this point sometimes folks ask about something they already are experts at, like Praying, or meditating...So, how do you like to put YOUR BODY in a state of relaxation?"

As a Zennial, with breathing exercises and stuff, if you say the word "mindfullness" to me, I will imagine a giant ripping your head off. In my experience, young people who have trauma or chronic pain (especially if they have ADHD) will have sort of PTSD reaction to being told to use cognitive/behavioral coping mechanisms. We hearvit so much, it feels like we're being blamed for being broken. And for me, especially since I have POTS on top of the above 3 criteria, breathing exercises will send me into an outright panic attack. Also telling me to loosen up, because it will hurt more if I'm tensed, is just going to make me dislike you. One prompt to relax is enough. I have fibromyalgia, I cannot loosen up without tiger balm or a heating pad. (This happened to me recently with an injection in the arm. I was trying very hard to loosen up, but I was literally in the ER for back pain/injury- my shoulders were one big knot, so I got very annoyed with the nurse, who kept tellung me it was going to hurt if I stayed tensed, and just tensed up even more.) So my advice is to ephasize that you aren't trying to be a therapist, but trying to help them in the moment. That you know they might already have this in their tool box, but you do this for everyone, and reminders to do it have helped others. Maybe mention the scientific evidence that it does indeed help- many young people are just outright skeptical of intangible prescriptions. It's like a magic spell vs a potion. The potion is more likely to give atleast a placebo, and a spell is more likely to make you feel cheated and have your intelligence insulted (if you are a skeptic). Even if the spell works, it's easy to ignore the benefit- or negate it by not believing in it. Also don't push the issue if they don't seem to be cooperating. They might just not be capable of it.

I’m Gen x and the breathing mindfulness made me want to roll my eyes too (I didn’t). I had cancer tumors so bad in my pelvis area , it fractured my hip (no one knew that at the time until a few months later when they shrank and they could finally see it in scans). After a nuphrostomy tube placement, I was in even more pain overnight after that procedure (the swelling probably put more pressure in that hip area). I was allotted the minimal dose of oxy (broken in half) every four hours and more in between as needed. When I finally asked for more (I was in SO much pain) the nurse gave me the breathing tidbit and I resented her in that moment while in so much pain. I’m not an oxy addict and as soon as that hip fracture mended a few months laster and the tube was removed, I was able to quit cold turkey. I’ve never been a drug addict but that lecture that the nurse gave me made me feel like one. I forgive her, she had no idea how much pain I was in.

So many doctors dismiss their patients concerns by telling them either they need to breathe, to lose weight, or to get more exercise. And some doctors will say that for just about any problem you go in for. And so when they’re telling their younger patients to breathe, it’s almost like well…Here we go again they’re not taking me seriously. Now I’m 64 years old and I’ve had a lot of surgeries in my life. And I’ve also had a lot of doctors and have been dismissed and pooh-poohed by doctors. So I kind of see what this generation is thinking when they’re told to breathe. Those are just my thoughts.

As Gen Z, picturing myself in the eye rolling situation: I think that would be my reaction to me having to do something I already know but always prokrastinated on. Kind of like an e-mail you should have already sent and getting reminded of it. Yeah, obviously, I know I should do breathing exercises in my everyday life but I ignore that because there's so much else going on. And now I kinda feel guilty for not doing that and have to cope with that, probably by suppressing the guilt by eye rolling instead. Even if it is a thing of only do that now it starts that whole process of I should have done that more often before and feel guilty.

I had a seasoned primary care physician who always gave me the eye roll when I was seeing him for a hard to diagnose chronic disease. He was jaded after his divorce, thought I was just hormonal, psychologically distressed, depressed, and would turn to look at his computer but not without me catching his eyes rolling! He was also burnt out, which I felt was dangerous to my and others' health. I fired him--found a new PCP! Eyerolling is hard to recover from. My body will heal from things faster than my distrust of physicians, so I'm on a healing journey from a lot of things.

Hey Dr. Kaveh, gen Z here (don't mind the profile picture, just a random image I found), I think the eye roll when breathing exercises are mentioned as a way to calm the nerves is due to how common it is said nowadays. Personally, my parents always used the "You aren't moving enough" excuse anytime an issue came up, regardless of their lack of knowledge on my daily activities, which always irked me as they spoke as if they knew me. Similar things like breathing exercises, yoga, etc. were always mentioned and I viewed it as "Do you think I haven't tried that?", so if not because they already know it doesn't do well for them (I myself don't really relax with breathing exercises), its usually because they might feel as if you're assuming things, or because their parents mentioned similar things to them in the incorrect situations where said techniques don't really apply. I personally don't roll my eyes, but I can understand why some would, especially if one's family is more into the naturopathic field than said individual.

I have total nerve pain in that knee that will be with me forever. And now, in about a month I have to go in for a laminectomy. I am so afraid. If I want to be normal and be able to move about without pain, I have to have the surgery. Thanks for listening if you read this.😢

I have had surgeries solely through one surgeon and his team that does change maybe once a year at St. Mary's hospital in MN aka Mayo clinic and I have not had anyone call me the night before except when to show up for surgery due to possible push backs due to trauma surgeries. Been there! It shocks me when you talk about patients being on their phone in pre op while they are getting a nerve block, etc. I have terrible PTSD and I can smell an alcohol swab and I'm hit with panic attacks and I can't always get the medication to help calm me down, usually my surgeon has to give the orders but we're not allowed to do really anything in pre op once the different teams come in and my surgeon signs where he's going to be working on. He is literally the kindest person I've ever met. If I'm bawling because I'm getting hooked up to the IV while another team is on the other arm trying to do the sonogram thingy to make sure they're getting in just the right spot and I can't move just try to breathe and pray and sob softly. It might sound silly but on my Dad's side of the family, tough German folk, they all worked on a family farm and you didn't get sick days. I always hear the "you just gotta pull yourself up by your boot straps and get going". That's helped me during some of the hardest physical pain and mental pain. I think about suicide just about every day and I do need to zone out and watch a TV show over and over just so I can try to make it through.

I've had surgery twice in one year... Just didn't stress. And I think Anesthesiology is blissful and therefore my FAVE doc is the anesthesiologist. 💕 Grateful for the surgeon but every surgeon I have ever met (though capable and very talented) you can tell they prefer their patients asleep. Lol.

For point 3, as a young millenial or very old genZ I think the issue is that a lot and i mean A LOT of our issues are being belittled by older people regularly. Yes thats a generalization, not everyone. But a lot of people dicredit what you feel may it be emotional or physical. And not everyone does this but i feel as a society it definitely is the tone of "well the younger generations are just too sensitive, they should just mentally adjust and be stronger". If phrased differently im certain a lot of people will be absolutely with you on the power of placebo, mindset etc. After all there are studies to prove that. And i sincerely think that if you phrase it in a more scientific way vs alternative medicine way, people will be way more likely to be on board. Im ngl when i heard you say "breathing exercises" i was triggered and i wouldnt roll my eyes out of respect (my millenial part i guess) but i would mentally definitely roll my eyes and you d probably observe my heartrate spike as i get mad. And that may be me and my experience, but i cannot stress how many times people dismissed me and told me to "breathe". That term in particular just infuriates me. Again, i can only speak for myself and my experience, which is also full of trauma and abuse. But as for myself. Im very self reflective and i do use breathing and other mental tricks to keep myself in focus or whatever needs to be done. And i think many younger people do try to be, depending on age, in tune with their mental state. EVEN if often this is so overwhelming that many do use unhealthy coping mechanisms, there are still plenty of exchanges on how to deal with things in more healthy ways. Just some perspective from my part. I spent a decade in pain because every GP i went to told me that my pain and suffering was likely a stress-related mental thing, and they sent me to therapy when i needed medical help. In therapy nothing was found to explain my pain, but still i spent years trying to breathe through my pain and to work through the fatigue. Secondly, I spent forever being abused, because people told me to just suck it up and sided with my abuser. In one of the many fun life events I spent over 12h in the ER in excruciating pain, dismissed because i was a young person who they told me to just breathe it out and wait for the pain to pass - which it never did without intervention. This is my story so its MY perspective. But im assuming you might operate on people who might have similar experiences. Even just age based, i feel like older people often do tell us "oh just a flesh wound, walk it off". Generalizing but many older people dont take mental OR physical health all too serious. They dont go to the doctor as often, they dont do their own research, and they sincerely think if they are just though enough and sit through the pain, the issue will pass on their own. And they force this thinking onto younger people who KNOW when something is wrong and who know we have medical options, which we want to use. Millenial thinking is more like "well i busted my ass, i want a good life even if the world is on fire" GenZ thinking is more like "well damn the world is on fire, imma at least try to enjoy the ride down to hell" Older people may have less of mental and emotional awareness, and did a lot of harm to themselves and others due to lack of self reflection BUT their upbringing was "be tough aka sink or swim" so they just push through. Meanwhile younger people tend to be way more self aware, which brings the downside of anxiety and stress. At some point if you realize that your mental state is poor because there are external circumstances bringing you down which are beyond your control, you do want to dismiss your feelings and numb them down. Saying "its just in your head" may be true to some extend, but it makes it sound like its something we chose to do, a failing on our part. And i think many people already try their best when they get into the room with you to be in a good mental space. So i can imagine its something like < person already trying hard to be in a good mental space for the process> and So i do think you can avoid the eye roll if you try to phrase it in a more neutral scientific way. I dont say you re blaming them, the blaming part is already conditioned into our brains just through these phrases alone.

Thank you for sharing your experience. I went through medical gaslighting for decades, even though I'm gen X. I also recently took college classes and found that the way teaching is done may also be adding to the problem he's talking about. Some people are very accepting of the hippy, woo-woo stuff, usually in the "soft sciences," but as a bio major I could cite studies about something and still be attacked for believing it. I feel bad for kids today because I think they're doing the best they can with what they're being given.

I’m so sorry for all you’ve suffered! I had serious chronic pain starting in my late 20s, and even though we knew the cause, I had a hard time getting the treatment I needed for years. I think part of it is that doctors know a surgery that goes wrong or an addiction can ruin someone’s life, and that is a LOT of years for a young person. But that can go too far and result in a basically disabled patient who just wants to work and be present with loved ones. I’m doing much better now, and I hope you are, too! ❤❤❤

Part of it may be that some of them might interpret an offer of non-medicinal ways to cope as a form of minimizing pain / effects of surgery. I was lied to by an OB-GYN and nurse and was told that breathing should be the only thing required for pain during an endometrial biopsy. It was one of THE most painful things that I've been through. So trauma as a result of being lied-to about pain is why I would roll my eyes at the suggestion that I can use breathing to reduce pain. The next attempt at a biopsy was done with a proper pain plan in place and adequate medication. The pain was minimal enough that breathing exercises combined with the pain meds meant I felt no pain at all.

I'm with the Gen-X crowd, and I first want to give you as much thanks as I possibly can for bringing your content to RU-vid.. Its so nice to see a doctor behaving like a human being and talking to people like they are more than cadavers with insurance.. You seem like a doctor people could trust.. I have a very unique situation I am dealing with.. My Neurologist says he has never heard of anything like it before... I have been on over 50 prescription and over-the-counter sedative medications to control my insomnia which was produced by Encephalitis it appears, and 90% of them do not work at all on me.. And I do not know if I will be tolerant or completely unresponsive to any anesthesia medication.. Naturally I'm concerned that if I ever needed a surgery, would I be able to "go under"?.. I am taking an exotic blend of medications right now, Prazosin, Seroquel, Lunesta, and Doxepin, 5 pills every night to get 3 to 5 hours of sleep a night (mostly 3 to 4), How would I communicate something like this to my anesthesiologist if I ever needed surgery? How would they ever be able to find the right blend of medications for me for surgery?.. It took me over a year and half to discover the blend of medications I am currently taking for my insomnia.. Thank you again, and I hope you keep producing your invaluable videos.. I am learning alot..

When the anesthesiologist called me, like 3 weeks before the surgery, I asked him what happened during the previous surgery a few years prior. He didn't want to answer the question. That made me way more nervous, because it left me with so many questions. So when I got there and they are trying to prepare me, I was asking so many questions that the nurses all blushed. So good thing you call your patiens just the day before. And I hope you do answer their questions about their reaction on anesthesia in previous surgeries. With one surgery I had weed about 36 hours before surgery and I woke up great, no issues at all. They told me recovery time would be 6 weeks, I was up and running again within 1 week. With the last surgery, where the lack of information caused stress, I woke up way different. Refused any sort of painkillers they wanted to give me after surgery, just wanted to go home to be save in my own environment. It lead to infecfions (4 weeks of antibiotics, 4 days in hospital for that) and a huge bleed 3 weeks after surgery. So this millenial has to say, my experience with surgery with weed before hand was actually better. But I quit weed to be more productive and not starting again.

I have smoked every time before surgery. No doctor has ever told me not to, out all the hospitals I have been to, prior to surgery. When they found out prior to surgery, they weren’t the happiest, however. Though, no one would ever give me a reason why or explain why it wasn’t the best. So, I would smoke, prior to other procedures, also. I wouldn’t have smoked if anyone had warned me there might be a potential issues - other than them not being pleased - which, is frustrating they didn’t know, being it’s in my records. However, I couldn’t smoke post-surgery, my last major surgery (well, post any surgery. Sadly, I was so sick, I had to lie to the nurses, about taking a few hits, in my bathroom, a few times - because it’s the only thing that worked, for my nausea, and it was absolutely unbearable. Of course, they aren’t all unaware and dumb). And being all of my issues/surgeries are stomach/GI related - I get nauseous LIKE CRAZY. My last surgery, I couldn’t even keep food down, nothing - let alone function enough to stop dry heaving and keep my head out of a bucket, for days on end. They were giving me every type of nausea medication they could - nothing worked I think, also, because I have had majority of my stomach removed, I didn’t have a lot of gastric juice to digest the medication properly - so, it would sit in my stomach, and make me super sick. They released me, and I had to wait for my mother - I was so sick and nauseous, I had to lay down in front of the hospital; and I could barely roll my joint, when my mother got to me (why I didn’t have a pipe, I do not remember). I was totally fine after that - and was able to eat a full meals (my version of full meals) with no problem, whatsoever, directly after, in the very manner the hospital was trying to get me to eat. I, simply, needed to smoke. I will say, I did wake up prior to them starting one of my surgeries, where I could only flail my feet, to let them know. That was a bit of a scary moment, because I remember my eyes being taped shut and I remember the fear of realizing where I was and what was happening. That didn’t have anything to do with marijuana, I don’t think, being I was in the hospital prior to surgery, and hadn’t smoked, at all. I woke up with a lot of fear and anxiety. I did get put in a locked ward for delinquents, because my mother and I had and argument, she was stressing me out, the hospital took that as a sign they could go through my things, found my “paraphernalia” (an empty pipe, in my purse, that so happened to be in there because I didn’t want to leave it in the car after our 8 hour road trip to the hospital). And this was in Los Angeles. I wasn’t even allowed to get out of bed, without permission - and not because of my medical issues. Though, being I was dealing with surviving Munchhausen’s by Proxy, at the hands of my “caretaker” mother.. It was one of the most relaxing weeks I’ve ever had, in my near decade tenure of sever illness. They later told me putting me in that confined area was more of an excuse to get me away from my mother - because I was so worried I was in trouble and the hospital staff thought poorly of me. Which, I was very grateful for. Though, it is frustrating that cannabis is not used more regularly, medically. Because, personally, it has done nothing other than benefit me (though, I am working in lessening the amount I smoke, because it can cause my dissociative disorder and OCD issues take over, if I am not careful). I would like to not rely on it so much, though, I have never felt bad about how much I do. Especially, because I can’t even take any sort of pain management, without getting severe edema, due to kidney/liver issues, also. Hell, even supplements cause issue. I am thankful to no longer be in and out of hospitals, having the anxiety of how things are gonna feel/be, without having access to cannabis.

I completely disagree, this guy was trained to put people out, not counsel them for their comments. I totally agree as a 34 year critical care nurse and wellness expert that you should always disclose what you’ve taken and when prior to being put under anesthesia. Perhaps you ought to go back and get your PhD MPH and start your own counseling practice for maladaptive coping strategies. It seems to me your commentary is all about psycho-social issues. Have you ever been put out under anesthesia? Yourself? I think your efforts seem odd, especially doing your videos in the OR when your off the clock. 🤷🏼‍♀️

@@islandbirdw my husband just had surgery 2 days ago and we commented why does it seem all the nurses have lost their empathy for the patients? They are cold and show no empathy for the patients concerns. I think they use to enter nursing because of the love of helping people. Now it's for the LOVE of $$$$. So when I see a medical professional showing empathy, listening, it MATTERS. BECAUSE SO FEW IN MEFICAL FIELD DO. Maybe you should take a lesson on bedside manner from him? Your sour disposition is reflective of something going on inside you that you may need to question.

I simply don’t think he’s qualified to pass judgment in his patients. How is that a sour disposition? I’m entitled to my opinion AND I’ve worked in teaching hospitals including some time as a recovery room staff, I’ve never seen any of the anesthesiologists making these kinds of statements. It’s NOT professional PERIOD! Now what are YOUR qualifications? Have you ever worked in a teaching hospital or a recovery room ICU? Than STFU!
