Some Thoughts in Silence… A message I would like to leave behind for future medical students. Thank you for the inspiration @DannyGevirtz #medical #student #studentmotivation #hospital #medschool
Sean my handsome doctor, I just saw this wonderful video of you. I am sooooooo proud of you as always. I am so lucky to have you, not only I the whole family is proud and so lucky to have you. I love you so much and wish you health and all the happiness. 👏👏👏🙏🙏🙏😘😘😘
I think it's really important to have moments of reflection as you're growing and experiencing new frontiers. That reflection process is a vital activity in grappling with these profound events that become frequent and in their frequency are transformed. Good on you for taking the time during a really busy and challenging journey to reflect on this AND share it so beautifully.
Oh my god thank you so much my g. Well said homie. Most definitely agree with you. I try my best to stay grounded. Your comment means a lot. Thank you for taking the time to watch the video. Much love
Damn, this one’s heavy. Not an easy watch/listen. But it’s a healthy dose of the reality of the boundaries that healing professionals have to maintain in order to keep doing right by their patients (i.e. administer compassionate and competent care day after day, year after year with their humanity still intact). Respect to Sean for staying real all these years, and now taking “real” to another level. 🙏
Sean my boy. Thank you homie. I try to keep things as grounded as possible. I appreciate you always supporting me man. Means the world bro. Hope things are going well homie
As a first year med student at SGU. I appreciate all your videos. This one will help me learn from now how to manage that aspect of the job. Thank you man.
Humble and human … it’s tough message that doctors learn to balance. A touching message conveyed with utmost respect, you are grown stronger… take care bro
After recently completing my first ICU rotation as an intern, this video really hits home. Still trying to find the balance between connecting without getting connected. Appreciate your thoughtful reflections
Hey that icu rotation really puts things into perspective. Good work getting through it and taking that time to reflect on it. Thanks for taking time to watch the video. Means a lot
Man what good timing on a video. Recently volunteered in the ICU for the first time and am going into medical school next year. Seeing two deaths in just a few hours I was thinking about how it would affect me in the future, and if I will be able to cope. This video gives me hope, both that I will cope, but also that one can still remain caring.
Dude Tom. Thank you for letting me know this video helped man. That was good timing for sure. Yeah man. That first experience in the icu with sweep you off your feet. I’m glad this message got through. Thank you for letting me know homie.
I think the worst aspect of being a doctor is our ease of tranferance without even realizing it. Finishing my intern year here. Its hard not to imagine you're in the daughter's or son's shoes when they see their mom or father slowly fade away. Its not easy, but you become their therapist, their comfort, and their hope. Like you said, its just human to have these emtions and its important to tell new interns that its okay and its important to process these feelings when the time comes.
The scariest thing about death is that all life leads to it. All the work, all the care and effort we put just to plead for a bit of time and brief comfort for our patients and their families. Only to be crushed because we wish we could've done more. Suddenly you feel the weight of that extra update for the family, or correcting that low magnesium, or removing that line ASAP, or pushing the case manager to get the patient home safely, because you know what could happen otherwise.
I honestly think every pre-med student should volunteer for a hospice. I know it's not the same intensity as being a resident doctor ofc, but it really starts conditioning your brain to that feeling. I remember when I started my hospice volunteering, every week there was new residents; it was hard to digest. I was lucky to form a small amount of rapport with one resident who ended being at the hospice for 3 weeks (really rare). Those three weeks I learned so much about her and it was such a meaningful connection; when she passed it was a really sad and scary feeling. But in hospice they celebrate the end of life, so the more I volunteered, the more I was getting "okay" with the idea of death. But once again, I don't know what it's like being the medical professional to a sick/dying pt yet, that sounds a lot to digest at first. Good Luck!
Woww dude this is such a valuable idea and such a good point.. celebrating the end of life. I completely agree with this idea. What invaluable experience you were able to gain. I am really happy to hear that. Thank you for letting me know. I completely agree with you here. 🤝
Hey mate where’s the content 😭 hope you’re okay and surviving residency. Started watching you when I was a youngling and now I’m about to start IM residency in a few short months myself! Time flies…
Heck yes. Actually things are amazing. I don’t wanna leave residency because I got the best class. I will start more videos asap. But congratulations. You will do amazing. First six months are hard. Gets better after that
Hey, fellow SGU MS4 here. do you still have access to your SGU email account? I want to email you to ask something about the 2024 match. I have your email from the university directory.
