LIFE AS A TRANSPLANT SURGEON! 

I cant believe its so much hate on this comments. These is one of the most difficult and important job ever. We all had some very ill family and whish there was a human organ to replace the one who was ill and many times we could not have It because among other causes there is not enough doctora trained on these. Some one should do that work and we all should be thankfull because of these doctors. I am an ICU doctor and a mom and I made both works and these one is hard, there is not cuddles from anyone, no kids laugh,it is totally different from a housewife roll, both are important but these one is unique. So proud of these doctor and her sacriffice, so sad about many comments. Sorry for my Engish, is not my native language.

Thank you Dr. Raga for bringing us along!! Your dedication and hardwork while working such long hours has inspired be to keep going in medschool.

I just watched the video of you doing your first cholecystectomy. You were so excited by the procedure! How fantastic that you are in a hepatobiliary fellowship. Six weeks ago I had a cholecystectomy and hepatectomy. I am so grateful that I had an amazing surgical team. Thank you for what you do!

My resident dr roody would be proud to see how far we’ve become …congrats for king air too…being tired is good it’s a positive good…thanks for saving people’s lifes

Thank you for bringing us along for this shift and showing the realities that can come with this specialty!

Raga.....can u rememeber me Last month....i had liver transplant.....and u was the surgeon....who operated me...i never forget u....ur care was atmost...thanku

you are doing commendable work..... such an inspiration you have been.... thanks a lot and share at least one video every week.. thank you.

Get some rest! You are such a dedicated doctor! I remember my call days...nothing near what I see you do! Best of Luck!

It is hard yet you love what you do hence , all these efforts are worth it All for the humanity May success follow you always

You’re doing great!!!

Another enthusiastic episode, We have a very well established cadaveric programme here in Sri Lanka and most people who benifit from it don't know the value of it, the dedication and sacrifice of the Transplant surgeons and the team, most of our Surgeons travel by road for retrieve the organs drive back and operate. Whish their life would be made easy and given good returns!

Can you please say which surgical loupe you use ?

How safe is liver transplant? ..a person near us spend 80 lakhs and two days he was dead due to bleeding.

What was that plane for?

Do you find that you’re by yourself / alone a lot during these longs shifts? The doctors at my hospital usually sit by the nurses station bc they get lonely in their lounges 😆

Can you sleep on the plane?

My friend did usmle in first try 😢 , I m thinking to do it .

As a transplant team how does it work with airport security ?

could you talk about your plans/options after fellowship? Are you thinking of repeating residency?

How many hours off work did you get after this shift?

You say its hard, i say its so cool.🥰

Dear you are a wonderful lady God bless you in the name of Jesus Amen

I’m an organ driver in the uk it’s not uncommon for us and surgeons to be out for 40 hrs at a time. Especially when the liver is split and then transported to another hospital and then transplanted. Poor surgeons will not sleep for 60 hours unless they are in the car

The hours that doctors are required to keep is more than hard, it’s downright dangerous

Wish I could have that kidney transplant

Dr. Am here in Uganda I want to donate a kidney

As a trained physician you must be cognizant of how unhealthy that lifestyle/ schedule is for you personally

You does not look happ! I am so sorry to see you tired like that
