It's sad that it has to be said these days. "Don't bring family" to what's essentially a job interview. I wonder how often people have actually gotten the job when they do.
@@AtotehZ you missed the joke/reality. Match isn’t the interview. Match is like a job offer. They are passed the interview phase. This is where they are going to be for the next 4+ years. The resident is being told not to bring/have a family because they will never see them. The job/residency for that specialty will prevent them from having any personal time. I know doctors who have left practice, who love practicing medicine, for hospital administration so they can have some semblance of a personal life.
This one is true. I was shown a graph recently. All pediatric subspecialties but one have salaries that are significantly less than the adult equivalents.
That happens when the health system collapses (at least in Greece). Many of the biggest hospitals in the country only have one pathologist but because nobody knows what we do, they demand the results the next day for all cases and also refuse to hire more pathologists. And once I was enraged and screamed at the clinic's administrator because she stole my chair from the department and gave it to the radiologist because his broke and I had to sit on a plastic trash can for over a month
@@mindymmk I should fear pathologist. They are associated with people who have huge amount of experience of cutting up people. And not making sure they stay alive during that.
@@mindymmk oh god they literally treat you like trash. Have you ever participated in a strike or something? Just asking, I know it's reasonable not to because your livelihood depends on it but it seems like they need you more than you need them.
Meanwhile, in a paediatrician clinic: “OMG my son has HERPES!” “No, ma’am, that’s just residual glitter from the daycare craft…from Christmas. Glitter is impossible to fully cure”
Oh my god, pathology.....when I was a vet nurse at a small animal clinic, I occasionally had to call specialists we were referring serious cases to. I told a vet that a patient had a suspected lung torsion and she immediately burst out with "Oh cool!! We never get to see those!" Then she paused super awkwardly until I laughed and told her I get it. I think all of us are guilty of talking about awful cases with barely restrained excitement 😂
One time this Canadian doctor thought he found Chiari malformation in me and he didn’t even try to contain his excitement the man was *stoked* Huge smile on his face
If you didn't like your job, people (or animals) would die. Either you're invested in the work or your patients...and the latter isn't healthy to be invested in. Inappropriately excited doctors are great. It's the apathetic doctors that terrify me.
Thank you. I already commented on another funny, and considered adding how tickled I was about the ADC in the shape of a unicorn *and* how he caught himself--but sure enough, someone else commented. Yeah, sometimes it's better not to let on how intrigued you are by, oh, I don't know, say, uh, the funny little wiggly things in a dog's poop... 😂
Don't blame PACS because the networking in your hospital is so scarce and locked down that it's like using two cans and a string to talk to someone in North Korea.
As someone who once worked in IT, 😂 I worked with a large enterprise network so when I had a job at a tiny place and they didn't even realize their server was full until no one could save even a word document 🤦 (The tiny place job was not at all IT related. Dude in charge of it couldn't even install the correct printer driver.)
"Counter-current multiplier" Absolutely priceless. Ahhhh, the elegance of the kidney! Seriously, I had a musically-gifted nephrology attending once tell me, "Son, those cardiologists are just heart-muscle-heads, kind of like the percussion section of the orchestra. We, on the other hand, are the "first chair" of the human body!" Nephrology vs. cardiology. Worlds without beginning or end, Amen.
@@thiya4627 Glad you asked! It is an elegant system in the kidneys of mammals that allows very efficient concentration of urine in the Loop of Henle. Basically, it "magnifies" the gradient between the ascending and descending loop and helps the kindey concentrate urine. This is near-and-dear to the heart of the nephrologist - not as much as sodium, but close!!
Loved this. Extending the Radiology residency because of the time it takes waiting for PACS to load made me burst out laughing. I love Path and Paeds. Ah hell, I love all of 'em, even Nephrology.
Brilliant and hilarious content as always! However, I am deeply disturbed by the paediatrician demanding glitter, as that shit gets EVERYWHERE in clinics. “The thing about glitter is if you get it on you, be prepared to have it on you forever. Glitter is the herpes of craft supplies.” - Demetri Martin.
I imagine if pediatrics gets anywhere near surgery with that glitter they have to lock everything down and re-sterilize. I can only imagine the poor scrub-tech or cleaning staff trying to get glitter off of all their equipment.
Daycare staff** I can assure you that the glitter comes back out the other end, looking basically like how it went in. As does crayons, raisins, watermelon seeds and corn. I would not suggest recycling however.
As someone that works in a Family Practice Residency Program, today is in fact Match Day! It is such a big day for our faculty and residents- we're super excited! Good luck to everyone waiting; hope you get matched
As a radiologist, I'm at home in front of a DICOM calibrated monitor, waiting for a CT to load. So yeah, 6 months - if you're on fibre internet. Otherwise, add a couple of years.
When I was in EVS, part of my schedule was the radiology reading room-all of the weird monitors-blackout curtains, their own en suite bathroom, AND a couch. Full carpet. And wall to wall wooden bookshelves full of texts. Guess which room I got called in on my day off to COVID clean? Yup. 3 hours. So. Many. Books.
"Waiting for PACS to load" I handle networks/vpns for regional hospitals, and I cannot begin to tell you how often I have to work with those vendors, and how crap their support is. I've gotten a good laugh from a lot of your stuff, but that one got me good.
Excellent 🎉 As a veterinarian who enjoys cytology & makes all the new nurses look at every cool cell I find, it's nice to know that over-enthusiastic dweebery is a natural response to being near a microscope 😅
I was so nervous about matching for an amazing pharmacy residency- but it meant big changes and I was nauseous from the interview day to match day. Even telling my husband it was a mistake and there is no turning back because it was a “legally binding contract.” This video just normalized that experience for me - no one ruin it for me if I missed the joke 😂
lol i just matched for a pharmacy residency and I spend the first day freaking out about logistics and changes rather than being excited! so I get you.
"You'll need bubbles, glitter, and a spinny toy that lights up." LOL. Now we need the crossover where neurosurgery has to go back to residency for a day and they get matched up with pediatrics and have to show up in a onesie with a spinny toy that lights up.
Of course Rural wouldn't make a phone call. They'd show up in person with a suspicious amount of rope. And Texaco Mike driving the getaw... er shuttle van.
Careful, Michael Crichton wrote The Andromeda Strain while in med school, and it was so successful that he quit medicine after school and went straight to Hollywood.
There were some gems in here! I started laughing when radiology had to extend to 4½ years to allow for PACS to load! I couldn't stop laughing, and had to rewind the video.
I love our pathologists in our lab. I'm a lab tech by the way. They always come by, says hi, offers snacks in the break area. We always offer food to path lab, and path lab always offers food to core lab. It's nice! If we catch malignancies, he always updates us about them and gloats about us to the residents and the med students. I personally love showing the residents around core lab and showing them cool slides!
As a nephrologist this has been by far the best nephro/cards battle ever. Even though hidden under the guise of being part of a multi specialty video. You’re amazing man. Glad you’re bringing nephrology into the spotlight. #NotForgottenAnymore #LiveInDialysisUnit lol
Salt Bro BWAHAHAHAHAHAHAA! But he was being extremely generous. At least it isn't a broken down chair bed, and three ratty blankets, where one of the blankets is the pillow. And the chair isn't next to the reuse machine. This resident is living the DREAM. 😂 It was all funny, but Salt Bro is off the chain.
It is an unjust universe where Dr. Glaucomflecken hasn't had at least a cameo on every medical television series and movie in the last 5 years. It would be such a glorious easter egg to have Jonathan give the nod in the background...
We don’t feel elated when we diagnose something rare and likely to be misinterpreted by someone less experienced. Just happy that we’ve done our job to the best of our ability. Heavens that sounded much too worthy.
@@libertarianesque8645 the more salt you ingest, the more water you retain in your circulatory system and it is easier on the kidneys to filter the blood
@@libertarianesque8645 that is not it. Salt doesn't make the kidneys work better. I am a nephrologist (not in the USA), please don't eat salt. The salt is a joke because Sodium disturbances/electrolyte disturbances are a nephrologist specialty and we deal a lot with those. That is why in the video the nephrologist tells the resident to give a lecture on renal physiology nobody will understand. Sodium is important for homeostasis, which is a mechanism to mantain fluid balance, too much is bad.
Pathologist here.. the happiness and the immediate sadness of the adenocarcinoma line was so on point! One of my profs used to say that whenever the pathologist gets excited about the diagnosis, it means thatthe patient is in serious trouble. 😅
I'd love to be a pathologist based on how friendly they seem to be, but I know in my resentful, salty heart where I truly would belong if I were a medical type...
As the Administrator for the PACS in the Hospital i work in. It truly takes its time. However its massive amounts of data so its not surprising to me. But in the beginning it sure looked like it stopped working all the time. Really nice videos!
I’ve sent a few of your nephrology vs cardiology videos to my friend, who has been on dialysis for almost 10 years trying to get a kidney, and just this past year has developed HEART issues on top of it. She gets so much conflicting information from the two departments.
I’m a peds nurse and glitter should absolutely be mandatory! Also a new NICU resident asked me permission before examining my 1 kg 29 weeker 🥰 after our hearts
The pediatric eye place we go to used a light up spinny toy for my 2 yr old yesterday lol. Poor baby is like all my other kiddos, high astigmatism and some near sightedness
