Hello Dr Webb, my dear nephew is in his third year of med school in the US. He is the top student in his class and he told me he has embarked on this journey because he loves medicine and his main goal is to be the best he can be to help people. He was selected to do an away rotation at Stanford and I am so proud of him 🙂 As he wants to become an orthopaedic surgeon like yourself I told him about your channel. Thank you so much for your breath of knowledge, it's going to be very helpful. I had no idea the amount of studying doctors go through 😮 You have my respect. Greetings from Quebec City, Canada 🇨🇦
Hi Dr. Webb! OR RN here! The two roles for RNs in the OR are circulating (the non sterile team member) or scrubbing. A certified scrub tech or a scrub nurse is the team member passing those instruments to you. 😉
I don't think the Neptune holds a "couple thousand liters" - for perspective that would be almost 10 55 Gallon barrels. The Neptune lower canister is 20L (20,000mL) and the upper is 4L (4,000mL)
@Shutite, he did NOT say "hold", if you watch it again from minute 5:54, you will hear him say "collect", so, he is correct about it being able to COLLECT, and presumably send to an external container via pipes
Beautiful, still laughing. Just had a ANTERIOR CERVICAL DISCECTOMY AND FUSION. Just beginning to feel the ease of the pain after four days. Wow, glad this is over.
thanks for this video, you have taken some of the ''scary'' out of it for me, watching your videos has helped me work through some major trauma repsonses ive been living with since I had spinal fusion at the age of 9..
Thanks, I just had a nose surgery a couple weeks ago and wondered what all those people were doing before being put to sleep... To nervous to ask anything at the time, first time in an OR
Oo I see a OEC C-Arm back there, I actually fix and maintain those, some of the newer ones with the flat face detectors are pretty cool, but our older ones are a bit of pain with random issues that the docs don't like. I love watching videos of different doctors just to see what Imaging equipment is being used in the rooms compared what I see on a daily basis at the hospital/hospitals when I driving around servicing equipment.
I’ve spent countless hours in operating rooms on a Jackson table. Normally they roll me in and I’m awake only long enough for some pre-oxygenation. Thanks for the informative tour and your great content. I’ve had the same back surgeon since 1991 and your videos make me more appreciative of him than ever.
I had foot surgery and before I was put under, I remember rolling into the room and noticing a huge X on the ceiling, and the room was so much more bare than I thought it would be. I was out after I was transferred to the operating room bed but I was amused by the X that was like ‘put patient here’ 😂
Hey Dr. Webb! I am going into orthopedics like you, I plan to do a fellowship in sports medicine. I really like watching your videos as they really give an inside look of what the career is like and what it takes. Thanks so much!
Keep up the good work. My hubby works on the operating room equipment as a clinical engineer so that patients can have surgery. Its amazing to think how much equipment and staff are needed to do surgery every day.
How do you keep such an operating room sterile with all the surfaces, cabinets, tables, computers, and monitors? This is not criticism but it interests me. In the operating rooms I have been to so far, only the essentials were permanently installed.
who needs stryker when you got makita 😶🌫. kudos as apparently despite being the new generation you see medicine as a calling and not just a job. old er doc
Me, an X-ray tech for 3 years now, cringing at the word technician & not TECHNOLOGIST……. Also cat scan with a c-arm……. lol NO. Sure fps but not CROSS SECTIONAL SLICES…. Still very much 2D doc ❤️
There is actually a 3D C-Arm on the market. I was told only 3 in CA. Almost had to use it but was leaving the facility. There is also an O-arm which is a CT scanner for OR use. - A fellow Xray tech here.
Hello Dr. Webb, I am 12 years old, and very smart. I anyone to do with saving someone’s life, so you. But, I’ve got encouraged to when I grow up to go to Med School. To be either a nurse, doctor, anesthesiologist, or a surgeon. You’re the best Orthopedic Spine Surgeon ever in the state of Texas!
