A Day in the Life of a Cardiac Surgeon 

For realll

I work at a hospital in the cafeteria, and I’m always thinking about all the people that are being saved. Sometimes I hear on the intercoms “code rapid response” or “code blue” in room blah blah and I’m just like dang I’m just sitting here serving food and there’s doctors and nurses busting their butts to save someone just around the corner

@@mdog6668 you are just as important. in a hospital we are all a team. without you ppl wouldn't be eating in a hospital

It’s called education knowledge and experience,,,, when u do something everyday for decades it becomes the norm in any profession

@@mdog6668 you provide the energy

What were your symptoms prior to you finding out you need bypass. I'm 53 and don't have any symptoms yet but with modern technology, nice to find out before having a major heart attack. Your doing great 2 months post op...Congrats

Happy recovery😇

Just curious, did you live a sedentary lifestyle prior to the double bypass? Bad diet?

How nice, praise God!

@@flanagamer he abused drugs like alcohol and cocaine

Yeah because he is Asian, if he was caucasian he will give 150% to himself and brag about his ferraris and mansions

@@theblukatlife You really got us caucasions there!

@@PrimeDiam you're mad because he's being truthful. Asians generally work way harder than caucasians do

@@smellypatel5272 I'm not mad as I don't care about what other caucasions are up to. Asians generally work harder due to parenting, as everybody already knows. I'm upset over him saying that if he was a different race he'd be bragging about his possessions. That's essentially saying that him being humble is because he's asian and not because he's a genuinely nice person, which is not only racist towards caucasians but also heavily offensive to the doctor, saying he's only that way due to his race.

@@PrimeDiam well he's generally not wrong. Asians tend to be much more humble on average than caucasians are. That's why caucasians are losing positions of influence to Asians slowly but surely. It's almost like merit and hard work overtake shitty cultural habits that Caucasians tend to have

No

@@hyper4363 lol

The middle class are the unsung heroes. ...the people who keep the economy alive, especially throughout Covid. ...and after covid, people should have more respect for them. What about cleaners? They never get any respect and they clean our toilets everyday. Could pay me 50 bucks an hour and I still wouldn't do it for my career.

Also no body know about the type of heroes .. but if they footballers or artistes people they well talking about them.

@@Wontreplyeverdontbother Majority of human evolution has been without "surgeons". What if there were no cleaners? The world would be a bigger pile of trash and that surgeon you're referring to would not work unless it was cleaned claiming it needs to be sterile. LoL... yeah. 100 years ago and back NOTHING was "sterile" according to current terms and regulations. You know they used to have vats of morphine, dip a rag in, wash the wound and if you didn't die, well... that's great! Or pregnancies were 50/50, you live or you die. Cleaning has been the same since you had something to clean. You aren't born with the knowledge to clean but it's much easier gaining(edit) knowledge on cleaning than it is with(edit) any type of surgery. Seems like you live in a fantasy world, like most westerners 🤔

It impressed me he gave credit to everyone!

He still has the unmistakable swagger of a cardiothoracic surgeon. I think its impossible for them to avoid given they're the biggest generators of revenue for the hospital and uniquely among specialties, pretty much every surgery they do is 'cheating god' so to speak.

@@lachyt5247 The exaggerated swagger of a cardio thoracic surgeon

@@lachyt5247 5:16 He literally corrected a guy when he didn't call him sir. 😬

Thats not humble

I’m 16, and I’m thinking about becoming a pediatric cardiothoracic surgeon. How has your experience been so far? And what majors did you take for your undergrad?

GOOD LUCK :D I wish ya the best

@@cmooisthename I can’t speak for him but I start school in 3 weeks on the road to becoming an MD as well. I’m majoring in biology but you can major in whatever you want, people tend to major in a science field because it’s easier to get your medical school pre requisites. Just focus on the extracurriculars, good grades and a good mcat score. I can’t speak on bud experience but a lot of people love their 2 years because it’s easier (more talking to patients and applying your knowledge and an easier step 2 exam) and don’t like the first 2 years as much (it’s great at the beginning because you’re a new student, but there’s a lot to learn and grasp, and you take probably the toughest exam of your life)

Good luck to you! 👏❤️

GOOD LUCK✨✨💞💞

And a lot of money, at least i hope so :D

@Michael Malkus They do

@@Malkus1 they earn bank man. And rightfully so.... this is a hard job to have. Nothing but respect to those on the frontlines of the medical industry

@@Malkus1 being and becoming a surgeon is the difficult task than any other job....they still don't get paid enough for their efforts 🖤

@Dr Clown Lots of people see the salaries and assume they must be hyper rich but forget the disgusting amount of debt the system and banks force them to accrue to even enroll.

Dear, with Minimally invasive procedure, the sternum is not needed to be broken. right? I had AVR.Ministernoscopy. Sternum was broken as i had calcified aortic valve.

You owe your life to God, but thankfully these people went to school and had good training, and investors created the tools they used.

What does RJW stands for?

​@@heythaveIt's RWJ = Robert Wood Johnson

Simply amazing work that you and your teams provide. Well done Dr.

I was gonna say the same thing as well. Also a fellow OR nurse.

Did my rotation, Lear’s lot, ended up in Urology. Plastics, EENT. One Caries OR anatomy to wherever they go.

This is the result of the organization, not the speed of a single surgeon.

im sure there was a lot prep work done by all the people involved in surgery , prior to him entering the OP . he was like doing drive thru surgery

Tell me about it..from an anesthesia standpoint this is insane too. I know the anesthesiologists and CRNAs are probably very thankful. I have been in a single bypass when it was 3 pm that we rolled to ICU with a 7 am start time..then the surgeon had another bypass to start afterwards.

Heart clinician? If you're not a cardiologist, just say what you are. It's confusing to patients.

It’s BS that you’re identifying yourself as a heart clinician unless English is not your primary language. Are you a physician? If not be clear in identifying your role and don’t try to deceive others.

Hello dear.. I am a fresh CTS resident from Egypt.. I would like to ask you if you know a way to do minimally invasive surgery like a master, training or something like that ? Thanks in advance.

lol exactly :D

well at least this is educating too!

@@CORPSE77 I hope it went well x

Congratulations! You will save alot of life's thanks God be with you

yo i feel you on this but reminds us of why we are doing it!! Keep grinding!

Can't do it without you...it's a true team effort where all parties contribute equally for the best outcomes for our patients!!!

@@leonardlee1453 👏👏👏

@@leonardlee1453 currently studying to enter med school in 1 to 2 years! Thanks for being an awesome example of how physicians and surgeons should be!

@@leonardlee1453 such an idol..

@@leonardlee1453 a inspirational hero. Thank you

Don’t stress it Physicians are being replaced with mid-level providers and machines. Do something else. Save yourself money, time and debt

@@user-lu6yg3vk9z I disagree! Mid-level providers are definitely going to be playing a large role, but physicians are absolutely going to be needed. Luckily for me, I went to undergrad on a scholarship so my parents can use my college fund for medical school. Plus, I'm more interested in become a physician than making physician money.

@@patrickk5030 physicians will always be needed. Mid-level encroachment can only go so far. There are things simply only physicians can do.

@@brittonporter5063 Exactly!

@@user-lu6yg3vk9z Keep telling yourself that

He has had to work many years to get this good. Now he probably trains younger surgeons

He's Asian everything is easy

​@@userone1465 this unfair comment discredits the hard work and dedication to medicine that individuals of all backgrounds must undergo to offer their best level of care to patients. a professional may be able to apply their expertise to difficult situations, which may appear to you as easy, but this artistry takes true skill and practice.

Nothing about this looks easy

@@userone1465 And you are probably an Eastern European woman and good at scamming men for money

Hi! I’m so proud and excited for you! I’m only 15 but I’d like to get into the medical field, and Switzerland is my dream place to go. I was just wondering, did you have to pay a lot of money to get there? By that I mean the living expenses in Switzerland and the universities in general. And also, if you don’t mind answering, how did you manage to get to the point of being accepted into this uni? Did you have to pass a few exams to get there? I’m new to this so I have no idea how it works 😭 thanks! And again, congrats!🥳🥳🥳

@@saraahmadi3419 I’m Swiss and you can enter medical school by passing the entrance exam. The problem is that only “Swiss” students can take the exam and enter medical school. Either you were born there, got your high school diploma there, lived there since a while, are married to a Swiss person, you get the idea. As for foreign doctors wanting to work in Switzerland it’s quite impossible. You have to pass the language requirement and have a level of at least B2 and honestly the only foreign doctors are from Germany and they are paid less than their Swiss colleagues. I don’t mean to discourage you but it’s quite a closed system.

i’m quite late but congratulations! 🤍

@@IoIita Thanks a lot, that's very sweet!

cristina yang vibes

They get more paid than a footballer

@Shez TV if u r a smart and experienced doctor u earn in millions..

How is the repair doing? Are there any leakings?

Wow really? There goes wanting to be a surgeon

I'm 10, and I don't pass out 🤔

@@kelvinmaison5374 It doesn't change what age you are, even a 70 year-old man could pass out. Different people different Problems. If you're fine watching this type of videos, then good for you.

Surgery can go up to hours.. Some can be 12hours long! Non-stop

Weird video to click on

How r u now

Ty

Goodluck

You can do it!

Amen 🙏🏾

Mee too my name is aryan barot

You will surely become. Nothing in this world is impossible. I am also a MBBS student in Divine Word University in Papua New Guinea. This video has really motivated me. I hope one fine day I will become a Cardiac surgeon like Dr.Lee .

How old ru bro

Don't do it! I'm cardiac surgeon in Washington DC. It's not worth it, go into emergency medicine
