Peds docs are so great flipping scripts and taking control. I adore Pediatrics! It's also the first time we've seen the psychiatrist back onto his heels. Love it!
As a pediatrician I would like to applaud the portrayal of pediatrics. 99% accurate. Only error we never spin the children on the exam stool. Too many bumps and boo boos. Also adults are horrible.
Precisely why I'm a pediatrician. The other day, a two and a half year old ran down the hallway toward me yelling, "Dr. Lowry! I pooped in the potty!!!" Take THAT, Dermatology!
I’m an EMT and my ambulance company has little teddy bears in our ambulances for pediatric patients, and it’s always the highlight of my shift if I get to give someone a bear. Kids, babies, crying drunk college girls… those bears have never failed me yet 😂 My coworkers always laugh at me for going through so many bears and for getting so excited when I get to be in the back with a kiddo. I’m considering going into nursing in the next few years, and I feel like this video and how much it resonated with me is my sign to look into being a pediatric nurse 😂
U should do it. since having a child I've learned it takes a special type of person to be comfortable and calm and open towards children. You're going to do great 👍
Pediatrics may be the highest tier character in the game. Therapist is close, and both are definitely in S tier, but Pediatrics just defeated Therapist like he was in B tier. The hot take is that Opthalmology is only in A tier because of Jonathan, and that without him Opth would be unplayable.
@@Dragonphoenix25 would him being a simulacrum imply there's a real Jonathan imprisoned in the hospital for cloning purposes? And more importantly, that means Jonathans should technically be unlimited. Ophthalmology is holding out on the rest of them!
We should make “pediatric having dinner with neurosurgeon”. I wonder if the pediatric’s light of wholesomeness could reach the bottom of the neurosurgeon’s dark abyss of unwholesomeness.
Due to severe epilepsy, I pretty much grew up in hospitals. I owe so much gratitude to so many paediatrians for making it as comfortable & unscary as it was. If a paediatrician is reading this; you are so important - what you do has the power to shape an entire person's emotional relationship to the medical system for their whole life, long after they've aged out of your care. Thank you for your work.💕
Seconded big-time on attitude formation, from someone who spent a lot of not-so-positive childhood time in hospitals with no dedicated pediatrics staff (small, small town). It matters. Thanks for posting!
Your last statement is so true! I got so hooked into medical world as a child thanks to my two pediatricians. And now I'm a medical student myself. Although I'm not sure about following their footsteps to become a pediatrician (it is hard in so many ways, at least for me), but I can't wait to meet them in the future as a doc ☺️
I feel like two seconds with pediatrics would have me broken down in tears "How you doing buddy?" "I'm okay..." "You've been working really hard, have a lollipop" "....I.... Ok... T.... Thank you. 🥺"
Also the best therapists I've ever had were therapists who also specialized in pediatric psychiatry. They have a level of empathy and listening skills I haven't really seen in others Obviously there's always exceptions to the rules, but I feel like they really advocate for their patients. Especially if they're not getting it from their home life.
This makes me want to carry around a satchel full of lollipops to offer to people who are being rude & stressful. Just like…”You’re having a tough day little buddy, aren’t you? Would you like a lollipop?“
Honestly, as an adult, I prefer being treated by pediatric nurses. They’re gentler, better at handling anxious patients, and are more understanding of my need to bring my dad with me to blood work appointments. Also, they have the fun bandaids! I’m never going back to the brown ones again!
I was just in the hospital for 2 weeks and I was on a floor that was a pediatric floor before covid and now was just a general hospital floor and there was one nurse that was actually there from when it was pedi he was great and would jump through hoops yo make sure I was doing OK, that being said I asked for a sandwich and he wouldn't let me put the toppings on myself... like I'm a 24 year old healthcare provider any other day I could have been assigned to this floor I can put mayo and mustard on my own sandwich and open my own bag of chips
As a 39 year old man, I would feel so much better about myself if someone spoke to me in such a reassuring manner, called me "buddy", and offered me stickers and lollipops. It's so therapeutic!
That's a great comment, sport. Many people probably think so but may be afraid to say it out loud. Good job, being brave enough for those other people. Here, have an upvote.
I'm a pediatrician and I have patients in their 20s who refuse to move on to an "adult" doctor. It might have something to do with the stickers and dinosaur figurines they get at each visit :)
More specifically the mothers , All mothers lose at least half percent of their IQ as soon as they step inside the hospital, But we can’t judge them the anxiety takes over the control
@UCMqZWjoT10PgvE89uRHgJsQ It’s not just about applying pressure, some of these people are legitimately worried and anxious about both their health and their loved ones, once can't just be a jerk and "apply pressure" so they stop bothering all the time, some empathy is needed. However even if WERE the one solution, then try having to apply pressure day out and day out more often than not... while also trying to take care of the treatment if the patients, which can and often are many... so maybe the individual solution is simple... but on a big enough volume everything is exhausting
dude!! im a pediatrician!! and this is so so true!! people tell me that pedaitricians are the happiest doctors. i tell them they are happiest around kids.. around adults? they hate adults. once you get to be around kids, nothing is as fun anymore.. i love this!!
But it hurt so much seeing kids injured and suffering - me on my pediatric hospital rotation in nursing school giving an impromptu in-service pre-arrival for a traumatic scalp avulsion by a tractor PTO. (City docs and nurses had no idea what to expect, and I had been a rural EMT and agri mech apprentice.) I ended up in IT. How did *that* happen?
@@patrickbuick5459 , it is such a privilege to have a kid allow you (and even ask for you to be at His/Her bedside) to be by their deathbed when the moment strikes. I've been touched by that a few times. What a privilege!!!!
@@chestnut4860 I'm sorry you had to live through that. Just know/remember that a LOT of child bullies have themselves been bullied/abused/neglected by none other than...adults.
@@chestnut4860 some adults are. Some adults are the ones who bully their children, leading them to become bullies. Some adults don't, or can't, care for their children, and they take it out on their classmates.
As a newborn hospitalist, I can say with complete confidence that a swaddle fixes pretty much everything. And I wouldn’t have “tried to swaddle my intern.” I would have SUCCEEDED at swaddling my intern. Thanks Dr. G!
The best thing I ever heard working in the Peds Ed as a nurse, was the little 24 month old yelling "Yay I did it" after we had finished up her sutures. Mind you I had to hold her down for her painful numbing injection and sutures for her toe injury which she did yell in pain for and tried her best to get away. She was proud of herself though for getting through and so happy to get a popsicle. Its why I will always work in pediatrics.
I once asked a very fiery pediatrician (very small Asian woman with a huge personality and brutal honesty but in the way that you love her) why she became a pediatrician, and she said "Well, I hate people, but I hate kids less than adults, so."
What I find to be the most fun part of pediatrics is that we barely ever need to interact with adult doctors. We have children's surgeon, children's -ortho- traumatologist, children's neurologist, nephrologist, cardiologist, oncohematologist... Yes, even children's psychiatrist. The pediatric wing is a world of its own.
I miss it so much. 🥺 As someone who's spent huge amounts of time in hospitals, clinics, etc. due to a chronic, lifelong disease acquired in childhood, I have exp. w/ this. And children's HC workers are... grod, just _SO_ much better. 😭 The switch to legal adulthood is like being shoved into an icy pond - no one cares about you anymore. You feel like an ugly piece of furniture in the corner of a repair shop to them. No help. No recourse. It's the polar opposite of the children's HC world of compassion, thoughtfulness & getting help right when/where you need it, w/o dismissive callousness & ignorance beyond reproach. I would do anything to have that again. 😔
Traumatologist is the best moniker for pediatric ortho's ever. One guy told me he'll cut my tongue off if I don't stop crying because I was afraid of his pliers
I'm surgeon but in our internship we had 1 month pediatric rotation .. , and I can say its one of the toughest but most satisfying branches in medicine ... , you see children who are very susceptible to diseases deteriorate rapidly than adults , you have to act fast , but you see little kids who at end of the day have smile on their faces inspite of all the needles , canulas , aggressive medical and surgical treatments ... , they taught me you can be happy what ever the situation is .. 🤗
As an Early Learning Educator, honestly even adults could use a good tight swaddling when they get worked up. It would be nice if everybody had the patience with each other that is demanded for children because adults low key will always need it
It's more for a more inclusive audience. What you said is true obviously.. but subtitles are more used to allow non fluent English speakers also enjoy the video and possibly enjoy the video without sound on. Also if you have subtitles it makes a more inclusive audience
This is why I scheduled my Peds rotation right after GIM!! I will need lots of swaddles to heal after these 2 months 😭. Every time a dementia patient tells me they don’t want to be examined by a Black student (me), I just mentally revert to my happy place in my rheum elective when an 8 year old having a bad flare of SLE momentarily forgot her pain to tell me her and I looked like princesses together with our matching Afros❤️.
As a paediatrican I can confirm this is 100% accurate (but seriously we all need therapy, the job can be so challenging, not to mention the emotional burden of treating sick kids. We put on a brave face with our stickers and our sweets but we're dying inside)
I could not do it. I have a rather high degree of empathy for others, so much so that I won't faint when I see my own blood, but I'll sure as heck faint if I see yours. Seeing a child sick or suffering? I would be in the janitor's closet sobbing about how unfair life can be for little ones.
Tbh, I hope you have a lot more than therapy helping you unburden. That's a boat load of responsibility. You're a rare, and decent, individual. You shouldn't feel the need to shoulder it alone. Be well. 🙏
My basement lab is right under the pediatric ward. The pediatric blood culture bottles are glass and can’t be tubed down, so they’d pop downstairs once in a while. After a couple months i learned to keep a little box of chocolates and tissues and sparkly flower stickers for when a peds nurse came in with that look like their soul was bruised. Sometimes they just needed to sit in a dark quiet space with people who weren’t being beaten up by the same trauma. And eat chocolate.
Me: smiling at the grown man wearing a unicorn crown Also me: becoming emotional at the accurate description of adults and how children are better (pediatric hospice nurse)
i fought so hard not to leave my pediatrician, until she legally COULD NOT keep me...at 19. And while it sucked to get a kidney infection in college, I was THRILLED to be in the pediatric ward. lol I had Jaguars on my wall. My favorite video so far!!😁
I’m 25 and I saw my pediatric dentist this year! I think she’s generally willing to keep seeing patients in their early 20s who are in college/grad school until they settle down somewhere and find an adult dentist. But they finally gave me the paperwork to transfer this time… Sad day. I don’t think I’ll have much luck finding an adult dentist office where everything is fish themed like it was there. (It *was* a bit weird, at my most recent teeth cleaning, to realize that after having been going there since before I was in kindergarten, I was now probably the same age as many of the dental hygienists and some of the moms😆)
This is *delightfully* dark and on the nose, without directly calling out that most of the injuries that happen to kids depend on adults to prevent them, and one category were caused by them. So, baked into the jolly regression of his act is someone who has seen the darkest parts of the abyss.
As a pediatric resident, this resonates deeply. It is a hectic job with long shifts and icu on-calls... But the joy of interacting with children washes away the fatigue. They are such pure bundles of joy who don't fake emotions. ❤️ Also, adults are indeed terrible. 😂
Children are very much capable of faking emotions. I worked with a kid that suddenly started acting up when I came to fetch them (it was a special type of job). Crying and protesting, with none of us adults knowing the reason. Until I caught the kid making a smirk before they saw me. They only made this smirk when they intentionally did something they knew they were not allowed to. Now knowing what was going on, I could approach the situation properly. Effectively stopping the faked behaviour. Beyond this anecdote of mine, children are more than capable of crying crocodile tears. All in attempts to manipulate adults.
@@c0ronariu5 parents think they know it all since they bore them and think they own the kids, these same assine morons also are the ones who think its cool to teach kids gender discrimination and sexism. I hate kids because I know they grow up to be like their parents and adults in general.
The pediatrician is an excellent manager. Genuinely asks how people are doing and applauds them for their work. Let’s them know they are appreciated with orange slices. Helps to calm stressed out employees with blankets. I would love to be swaddled by him any day 👍
"You tried to swaddle your intern" "Well he was getting a little worked up" I'm a new parent of a 3.5 month old and I haven't laughed so hard in a while. Thank you sir.
I teach college students but also volunteer in a nursery and honestly I wish I could swaddle the college students to calm them down, they need it sometimes
I love that pediatrics were the grounding person. I was a little anxious about them being in therapy, but I wasn’t steered wrong. Thank you for this. Bc of it weren’t for pediatrics, I wouldn’t have been so successfully healed from my third degree burns- emotionally and physically.
My pediatrician was the kindest dr I’ve ever met in my life This was literally him everything super chill I wish I could thank him for taking such good care of me
Now I kinda want a series where medical specialties have conversations with the same specialties. Do pediatricians speak to other pediatricians like they’re children?🤔
Lol the fact that a burnout pediatricians were a bundle of joy much unlike how other burnout characters acts suggest meeting kids can serve as therapy in itself
Yes, is hard to get made a children, they also have quite a unique and no fiddle around away of telling how they view the word. "when you are very frustrate you can grab your pillow and scream on it, and that is ok" is something a 5 year old may say.
Yes it can. But only of you are open to them and don't dismiss them because they are children. The joy of life, the true love, the simplest things mean the world to them. You still need to be carefull and watch them if so they don't play with something dangerous.
One thing that I enjoy a lot about pediatrics is that I can unreservedly love my little patients and openly show that affection to great emotional fulfillment. Also, when things get too tough during the call you can relax by going to the nicu and just hugging a baby for a while and have a wave of joy and peace wash over you.
I’m a retired LPC. This really touched me. Some of my kids hand been horribly mistreated by adults and all they wanted from me was to be listened to with kindness and respect. We need more adults that will take the time to see the world through the eyes of a child.
FINALLY! I keep telling everyone adults are terrible and pediatricians actually spend very very little time with crying yelling children. Usually when we have any problems with the patients, it's because of their parents, who are ADULTS! I always carry lollypops for kids and colleagues in my pockets. Very very accurate :))
Preach brother!!!! No one like adults!!! That pediatrician is a light worker of medical community!! You don't judge him!!! You appreciate n thank him!!
This is a whole new chemistry and vibe, and I'm loving it! 😄🥰 Pediatrics is such a likeable and creative character. I love how he engages with the psychiatrist! And the psychiatrist with his encouraging and confused attitude is perfect match for a conversation with the pediatrics! ^^
If I were to be a doctor, I'd definitely be a pediatrician omg. When I'm at a party, the ones I hang around with the most are children. XD Even the adults tell me "how do you have that much energy, are you a child". I dunno, even when children are bratty and irritiating, adults are the ones that are tiring to be with. When kids get angry, they throw temper tantrums. When adults get angry, they declare war. So. THANK YOU SO MUCH AGAIN FOR YOUR VIDS DR. G
Psychiatrist: You need to spend time with Adults Pediatrician: Nope Psychia: Why not?? Pediatrician: "Adults are terrible" 😂😂😂😂... That cracked me up.. Yeah, adults are terrible.. Yeah.. Agree with Children's brutal honesty and that Uno Reverse in the end 😂😂.. Pedia: 1 Psychia: 0
Overworked, under appreciated, having to deal with conspiracy theorist parents who are convinced modern medicine is trying to harm their child somehow... Yeah, definitely.
That's picture! I was wondering when someone would be counseling the psychiatrist! 😄🤣😆😂👍👍❤️❤️ I love Pediatrics! I loved my Cardiologists at Primary Children's Hospital in Utah! Thank you Cardiologists, Nurses, Anesthesiologist, Med Students, Assistants, Phlebotomist (especially those who could get it in on the first poke!), and anyone and everyone else involved in my early years of care! 🤗❤️🏥🕊️
ALL THE YES! NEVER STOP. Thank you. The pediatrician will save my sanity. I appreciate you more than you will ever know. Also I'm 46 years old and I still carry lollipops. Mystery Dum Dums are the best
Every time I see the Pediatrician I wonder if the unicorn headband originally belonged to one of your children or if you bought it for your videos. Either scenario makes me giggle.
I love these skits and characters so much! As someone one who has spent more than their fair share of time around many specialty physicians, this is 100% spot on! And I love every minute of it! Will you have an amazing disposition and you are a born actor... Either that or you need to spend more time away from the clinic! ✌🏼 *Love what you do!!
These skits will have tremendous impact as serious art pieces. Their portrayal of truth is illuminating. He breaks down human barriers with humor and wit. For real- very powerful stuff.
My youngest sister was going to be a pediatrician, then she paid attention to her father's stories about insurance companies and became a veterinarian instead.
She did have one itty-bitty stumble - when she started her radiology rotation, she was all enthusiastic about it and told me she might want to specialize in radiology. I blurted out, "Oh, no, honey - you have social skills." At the end of the rotation, she said, "You were right - I got a lot of studying done, but I was stuck in the basement and barely saw anybody." "Told you," I said in my best big-sister voice. "You're a clinician."
I was already laughing when I saw the unicorn head band! Seriously, he couldn’t be more true on how he views adults vs children. The stickers, lollipop’s, and the “ride” killed me. Lastly, the therapists glasses down the bridge of his nose in person and on the picture, priceless ❤️❤️❤️
Oh and can’t forget the caprisuns and orange slices. He is nurturing their inner child, which perhaps has been terribly neglected. Lol save them all Pediatrics!
Dude, these are excellent! I'm not even in the medical profession but I feel like these give me an excellent insight into how parts of the industry work. Keep them coming! New subscriber here!
“When was the last time you had a meaningful conversation with someone your own age?” “Why would I do that?” As a pediatrician, this absolutely sums us up. 🤣🤣🤣 Adults ARE horrible. Now who wants a sticker?
Pretty sure the adults in pediatrics are just as excited or even more excited than the kiddos when we get ready for our Halloween extravaganza every year I plan for my outfit at least 6 months in advance...maybe a year...
When I was a med student. I saw pediatric residents & attendings discussed clothes shopping, snack, gifts and Christmas dancing shows in "August" for Pediatric wards I was like, hold up, you guys are too serious about this than the kids.
I was just thinking about how to get the unicorn headband so that I can dress up as a pediatrician for Halloween this year. The kids will love it. (I already have the stickers) # And no spinning on the stool please...stitches happen that way. #livesforpeds
Feeling the vibes at the end of the video i also tried to spin around in my spinney chair, only to hit my ankle on my metal bed frame, collapsing in agony and be reminded that im a 25 year old living in a cramped apartment
The real problem aren't the pediatricians but rather the other doctors. Who tells you that I as an adult wouldn't like to enter into colourful room full of rainbows and free candies? 🙄
There was a show ( I think Good Girls?) where a character kept going to a pediatric psychologist instead of an adult one. It got me thinking that sometimes the pediatric approach can be just as or even more effective in getting adults to open up.
Well adults are just grown-up children, and they tend to get more stressed (or express it more aggressively) because they are aware of far more things that are giving them trouble. They are too used to getting defensive, so maybe a different approach helps to reassure them.
Paediatrics has the joy we have lost. I love going to work at the daycare centre and being with the little ones. The children are a joy, but the educators aren't.
