Day in the Life of a DOCTOR: Vlogging IN HOSPITAL (26 hour call shift) 

So glad you enjoyed the video - it's what you are going to be doing soon enough!!

White Coat Chronicles iin

White Coat Chronicles definitely was, never knew it was like this

White Coat Chronicles I move to the point where the first half of the year of the day I will never understand

hi

haha love it!! Don't lose that enthusiasm, it will help motivate you through some tough nights when you get there!

I want to be a surgeon any suggestions

Dr RB i wanna be a nurse thats my dream

Dr RB why would that be crazy? Im a med student, nothing crazy about wanting tobe a doctor

I've been told that I'm crazy for wanting to do so much studying in the future. I don't care it's my passion!

aw thank you Emileigh!

Hi Nancy - really glad you enjoyed the video!

Hi Nrg Bunni! I really appreciate your comment, thank you so much for sharing. I will remember this when I'm years down the road ☺️

@@ViolinMDtruuuueeeee! Thank you!!!! 💜 Feel free to come out West anytime ☺️😆 👩🏼‍⚕️👨🏼‍⚕️

Hi Chaff - haha yes the minions said it all 😂

I actually found you tense. Gosh! How differently the same behavior can come across to people.

saying someone is calm or tense is not accurate as they are relative to the context and your perception of that emotion in that context

Thanks so much Emma!

That lady is crazy kangaroo 🦘,, haha 😂 is funny joke ,,

Eyeye6ey

Thanks for reaching out Rebecca! I completely agree - it’s somehow reassuring that others are going through this same experience all across the world!

kakiexo14 u have ones who are in it for money. A lot actually.

Brooke Melton I hate people who goes in medicine for the money its really sad because it makes the rest of us look bad and have a reputation

kakiexo14 And many are culturally forced into it. Im nigerian and education is a huge part of our culture. I know alot of my indian & chinese friends can say the same.

Lul M8 I can stand with you on that but culturally forced or not. No one going to the hospital in pain or concerned deserves to be treated like crap. It shouldn't matter if a family member died or not. Work is work & anything outside of that leave it at home. I'm paying them so you work for me. Doesn't always go for Dr or nurses in my opinion.

kakiexo14 you pay them so they work for you?? Really? This is not some burger flipping job at McDonald's. There's lots of stress involved. Maybe your shitty attitude is the reason doctors treat you like crap!

Hey Samantha - haha yeah exactly.... so much of medicine is patient stories, but confidentiality has to come first!

Plus, she's in Canada, so different laws impose the same constraints on medical professionals than those laws in the US.

Thanks Andre! thanks for the positive feedback!

haha Georgia that's funny.... 😂 honestly there are some really tough nights but often you just get in the groove of it at a certain point

Georgia I thought I was the only one who did that. Haha.

Girl same 🤦🏻‍♀️

Hahaha compared to what I expect on call... trust me on a regular night at home I would not be satisfied with 4 hours!! 😂

I once slept 4 hours and well... I felt glorious :D

I can relate!! 4 hours Is all I need to feel rejuvenated!

I don't work in medicine, but I worked in factory at night and 4 hours would be luxury

Sometimes I sleep for two hours and I feel refreshed

Thanks so much Jennifer!

Hi Samantha! Yes that is such a great feeling... fresh air never feels as good as when you've been cooped up in hospital!

Emily Chacon She is just new in the game. Give it some years and the enthusiasm and positivity are gone. This job doesn’t leave much of a personal life.

I can totally relate.

Thank you Rhianon - I really appreciate that!

Thanks Alondra! I'm so glad you enjoyed it - I will definitely make some more like this ☺️

The thing is, I know it's not. Which is exactly why I'm in the educational field and not the medical field. I clicked on this video because it gave me a look into a lifestyle or profession that I'm not going to see otherwise. But anyone can understand that the 10 minutes she showed in this vlog do not accurately represent EVERY aspect of being an on-call medical resident. The good and the bad. The beautiful and the ugly. It's cool to get a look inside to her profession, but even if it WAS easy and glamorous, I'm going to stick to being a teacher. (:

Alexa Gibson hi, I'm currently applying to study education. Just asking on your thoughts of it

Hey Rachel! Being an education major, at least where I go to college, the classes aren't too hard. You know, the whole brain development, education laws, disabilities kind of stuff. In my experience, wherever you to college at, they will try to get you out to classrooms as soon as possible. Where I go, they had us out observing freshman year. This is because you never really know if teaching is your thing until you are actually out in the field. The earlier they get you out, the earlier you make your decision on whether or not you enjoy it. Come junior year, your observing/teaching full day. Come senior year, your observing/teaching a couple times a week. Depending on where you live, your state may require exams all education majors have to pass. These can be really stressful and can get really expensive, but it will all be worth it in the end. (: I really like it! I mean, I'm super introverted so I have to push myself to be more vocal and disciplinary in the classroom, but that will come in due time. Good luck!

I was about to start my fourth year of college to become a elementary schoolteacher and I just couldn’t quit my day job so I stopped going to school. I started college in my late twenties and had a kid, a mortgage, ect. so when it came down to having to be in the classroom interning five days a week, I just couldn’t do it financially. It’s been years but now that my husband makes pretty good money I can finally go back to school

Good luck, Tricia! I know you'll do great! (:

Thanks Christina!

DaynaT060 Totally agree

Right? I really want to know why and how is this okay? Unions must be going insane over this.

Thanks Hailee! hahah well that was a particularly good night in terms of interesting cases and getting sleep! I find i'm so exhausted when I'm first woken up by a page, but then when I actually see the patient in the ER who has been waiting for such a long time, suddenly you are awake and ready to do your job!

Thanks Johnna!

You could ask her if you can co-star for a vlog. That would be cool!

Hi Alexa! You raise an excellent point and in fact there are many places in the world that have moved away from these long hours

Alexa Smith there’s a lot of research that has been done on effects of long hours & it’s not good. I wish they would give doctors a break. I’d rather my doctor be well rested and not do something to me that is harmful bc they’re sleep deprived.

In Mexico the shifts are of 36 hours without sleeping, and if you commite a mistake, the resident can punish you with more hours :(

Malaysia gives you 36 hours of oncall yet luckily the doctors are still strong. System has to be changed for better health.

LOL I wish I only worked 26-hour shifts. I work for Fire/Rescue and work 48-60 hour shifts. Working up to 120 hours a week.

Ale Woohoo 🙌🏼 YASSSS. They also better have a McSteamy

😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

Tonight is greys anatomy episode 300!!!

OMG EPISODE 300 WAS AMAZING!!!

hahahha YESSS

*you’re

True! I don’t think she will because by not disclosing or showing any patients she is not violating HIPAA

she's in Canada so HIPAA doesn't apply

I think she is allowed because it’s educational

hahaha!! YES a few hours later... love that you asked that!

Thanks Dappled Willow - great to hear from you!

Shanelle Shanelle that's pretty common

It's actually recommended to have a hobbies like jogging or music whilst studying or practicing medicine !

She on that smart smart 💁🏻‍♀️🤠

I know it’s late but I relate soo much! My mum is a dentist and we live in a small area, so everyone and their mother knows her and I always have to explain! 😂
