It's basic economics - people in the millions pay good money to watch a dude kick a ball, so the players at the top of their game get rewarded very well. Most big colleges make most if not all of their profits from sporting events, compared to patents and research. If you want someone to blame, blame the vast majority of people around you.
I’m an er trauma nurse... our custodial staff who clean up those disaster trauma rooms over quickly and efficiently and ready for the next ambulance are such an important part of the team as well! Thank you all.
@@contractorusa5561get are covered and sent to the hospital's morgue and then picked up with a hearse. I am a floor cleaner/trash guy at a hospital and have saw them take bodies and pick them up (our break room is right by the morgue 💀) , actually saw one tonight.
I had NO idea what my mother went through every day she worked- so hard for us.... until I went to nursing school. I’m so proud of her, and honored to follow in her legacy.
It’s a mixture of people doing their best in a trauma. Like they said, physicians , nurses, respiratory therapists, radiology techs, phlebotomists, scribes, etc. Plus all those in the background. Pharmacy, lab, radiologists, House supervisor, and even the cleaning crew. They make it possible to have a nice clean room when the next pt comes in. No matter how gruesome it may have been before. It’s teamwork at its finest. Love being a nurse.
Sum Gie The idiots on the football field get payed like they do because the idiot lazy masses pay for it then complain about the health system. If people enjoyed watching a person sit on a toilet he would also be making millions
I used to clean these rooms at a hospital. The aftermath was a gruesome sight, but someone had to clean it all up as if nothing ever happened... I always got an odd feeling in the “Gift of Life” OR. That was the organ donor OR for patients who just expired. Sometimes I felt “angels” sometimes I felt “angry spirits”. It was... unique.
EDIT: I became a registered nurse in June of 2022. Thanks everyone! Starting my prerequisites for nursing school in January...wish me luck!! UPDATE 2-25-22: I graduate in May of 2022! I will be an RN soon after that! Thank you everyone!! I totally forgot about this, I just happened to stumble over this video again!
I became emotional watching this. I was supposed to have hip surgery in 2016. I coded on the operating table. I had a massive pulmonary embolism and stroke. I was kept alive long enough for heart surgery to have the blood clots removed. I'm alive because of people like this. The doctors and nurses at the Portland Oregon VA hospital and OHSU are amazing people. I owe my life to them.
Zo Zo why not try to pursue a career in medicine? I felt the same thing but decided to put he challenge on my shoulders and now I’m a year shy from medical school and hoping to become a surgeon. I hope life takes you in the right path!
word, I made the decision 5 years ago while working some boring night shift job and looking at wikipedia all night. I am in my second semester of medical school. It's sweet.
As an EMT and a current Nursing student I can say that it takes so much inside of you to stay calm when things like this happen. Our sympathetic nervous system is going crazy. Hormones firing, pupils dilating, heart rate and BP increase. It takes a very special kind of person to do these kind of jobs.
@@tracyhock4730 lol I am an EMT and it's not about supplements or anything. certain people just handle situations well. It's just a combination of personality, training, and desire to help people. Training can only prepare you so much, but if you have the knowledge of what to do, when the time comes you just do your job and do your best. You think about it afterwards. In the moment you can't freakout because you have to help that person as if they are your own mother or child. But yeah you don't forget some of the things you see or textures you feel or smells that you breathe in. It's not easy. But in that moment of chaos it's almost as if you have no choice but to be calm what are you gonna do shit there and cry? You have people to save and protocols to follow. You got it or you don't
I swear our doctors, nurses, specialists, anyone in the medical field that has something to do with life or death should be paid way way way more!! These actors and actresses and rappers (don't get me wrong, they bust there asses) but lets be real, These people who are responsible for our lives, pulling 24 to 36 or more hours a shift, doing 8 hours or longer at a time during a single surgery, These soldiers fighting for us, and the good cops (good cops) risking there lives for shit pay! It just don't seem right. Some times nurses do more than doctors.. I just think its a shame, who is getting the millions....
Thanks for the sentiment; it's a nice thought. No one is in the background deciding who gets paid what. It's market forces. There are only a handful of musicians who make millions, and this is by voluntarily making a product that millions of people want to buy. There are tens of thousands of nurses, and each has to do the same job. Likewise, as dangerous as it is, the military servicemen and women on active battlefronts deserve enormous pay, but it doesn't always require tremendous education or resources to get shot at, so the market doesn't always support it.
As a trauma nurse at a level 1 hospital, I can say this is really normal for us and nobody understands except for our coworkers. Those people are my rock honestly. It’s heartbreaking seeing people come through those doors screaming and crying in pain or limp and lifeless and sometimes knowing we can’t do anything to help. This shit is hard. Having somebody’s life in your hands and making decisions that will affect their outcome hangs heavy on you. Forever sending so much love to all my fellow coworkers in healthcare who do this on a daily basis
I remember my first day in gross anatomy we were cutting a body and it was nuts and felt like a disgusting violation of a body. Now I feel at ease around dead bodies. You get used to this stuff.
On my first clinical internship, i had to do cpr on a man in cardiac arrest. Unfortunately he didnt make it and i also felt really weird and numb seeing that my efforts werent enough, but the nurse i was under assured me that feeling like that is totally normal and okay. The doctors did all they could to save him but he was just too far from being saved
Yes nurses and doctors save lives, but they aren’t the only ones in emergency situations. Laboratory technologists are always left out because we do work behind the scenes. Prepare blood and blood products for transfusion, checking cell counts and blood chemistries. Just sad that we are never acknowledged.
Thankyou for all of your enduring efforts in saving these lives also. There is a many pieces in this puzzle of life and death and all are just as important as each other and cannot function alone. Take care.
I wish people would praise nurses and doctors within the psychiatry that take care of suicidal patient as much as the somatic staff. It's often forgotten, but staff at psychiatric hospitals save lives every day.
This is what real nurses and doctors look like. Imagine shows like greys anatomy without people like McSteamy or McDreamy but this, i'd watch it too all day, all night
I guess, but in reality there is drama in real life hospitals too. My stepdad is a doctor and when he comes home I hear him and my mom talking about all this drama at work, ppl talking shit about each other, the “hot” doctor, who’s dating who etc. It’s kinda real lol
Props for them mentioning Respiratory Therapists as they are one of the most underappreciated people in the hospital despite them seeing the most critical patients. I'm a CRNA and I respect our RT's!
Morgan Walz yeah they get good pay, only if they work for most of their lives and miss out on a lot of moments with family and friends. They deserve a higher pay still
People don’t realize how well these teams of professionals work together. It’s truly a wonderful group to work with. I miss working but am now retired..
Mar 1 I know you posted this 6 months ago, and that I’m a random person on the internet, but you can do it! Sometimes the hardest jobs are the most worthwhile in the long run 🙂
Most people are saying thank the doctors and yes, but also look at all the nurses they mentioned and all the other medical staff and techs besides the doctor that make a fraction of an mds salary, let’s thank everyone in the medical field
Nicholas S not true. Nurse have liability and responsible for their actions. They go through nursing school and know if you give the wrong medication just because a doctor ordered it and that patient goes down hill or dies, it’s that nurses fault.
I have the utmost respect for these people. Carrying the weigth of someone’s life in such pivotal brief minutes is something that I could never sustain as a career choice.
I’ve been going to a camp for the past 3 years. Every year they allow a group of high school seniors from the camp to go visit a trauma center in New Jersey. I was excited but nervous to go but I learned so much. I saw some things I cannot and will not forget. They took us into the main trauma room first and went to through the steps of their daily procedures. We then saw a power point of some of their worst cases over the past 15 years. the photos were all real and not blurred. After that my group was told to walk through the ICU. That was probably the most heart breaking thing I saw out of that whole trip. I looked into one of the rooms and saw a little girl and her mother holding hands and standing next to a man laying on a bed with multiple tubes coming from him. Once we finished their we had one last stop, It was the basement. In the basement was the morgue. Seeing people in body bags was definitely not on my summer bucket-list, but I’m not angry that I saw these things. In fact it was probably the most interesting and helpful field trip I’ve ever been on. These people are amazing at their job and I’m glad I got to see what goes on up front.
I’m so very grateful for every doctor, nurse, and those seldom mentioned who do their part to save lives in the trauma wards and other aspects of life saving practices! Thank you medical providers for all that you do!
I work in the Operating Room as a Surgical Technologist and never get to meet my patient I help operate on and seeing all these comments of appreciation make my heart smile. Just a simple "thank you" can go a long way
I work as an ER scribe and its amazing watching what the docs and nurses do. Ive learned so much and hope this experience helps me become a great doctor in the future.
Alex Perez In our living wills we have no scribes. To us invasion of privacy. Hospitals and clinics can allow scribes without consent from patient yet ban spouses unless we have it in our files to allow us. Something wrong here.
MS KS doctors trust the scribes more than the husbands. Doctors dont know what the spouse would do if they see that the wife couldnt be saved. It’s all part of safety. Scribes are trained people who are also under the law when they are in those settings. Nothing wrong with people doing their job.
snow flower Who is suppose to trust who? I say no damn scribe and my spouse says no scribe ever again. Invasion of privacy. Our thing is we want and sign for each other, also, have no scribe in our papers. I don't care who the doctor trusts. Maybe I don't trust the doctor if they bring a secretary in with them. Oh and they let reporters and film crews in with no consent. Get real.
MS KS how is it any different from a nurse or other healthcare worker being there? Scribes make sure your charts are as accurate as possible to give you the best plan of care. Do you think doctors have time to be writing things down when they have a patient having an emergency situation? Who do you think documents all of that critical information? They rely on us way more than you think.
Alex Perez Your opinion. Mine no secretary. My body my choice. Same for my spouse. Nurses are nurses not trained secretary. We also have no opposite gender if we are exposed in any way. There again our belief. You can have whoever you want in there. No damn film crews either.
As a doctor the thing that really makes me happy and drives me forward is when i see my patients getting better especially those who come with critical conditions, honestly the best thing to witness ever, god bless everyone and to anyone reading this pls if you are able to donate blood do so cause u could save someone just by donating.
I’m just finishing my pre-reps and applying to my schools RT program next summer!! How was your experience with program? And how’s everything going now!!
I'm about to start pre-med at 27 I've been working in a call center after I dropped out of college. God can and will do anything he puts in your heart to accomplish!!!
Thank you. Hospital employee here, nurses and doctors are truly heroes but there is a crew behind this team: aside from doctors and nurses, there are: Resp. Techs Radiology techs CNAs Unit coordinators Monitor techs Rehab crew (PT, OT, & ST) Dietary EVS (housekeeping/maintenance)
This is why I love what I do... I love the work, I love my patients...my family and friends has NO idea what my day entails... and that’s ok... being part of a nursing team is an amazing blessing as well as heartbreaking and I couldn’t imagine doing anything else 🙏 By the way I appreciate all of your wonderful comments.. thank you
I remember one evening when I was on call for the OR, ( I'm a RN.) We had to do a surgery on an inmate that had just recently been on our local news. He had kidnapped a young girl. Was I angry? I was enraged! We all were, but we put our emotions aside and did our jobs.
Blessings to all these special people, who are Doctors, Nurses, Specialists, Technicians, and many, many others of hundreds more! Angles of Life and Love!! Thank you all...👍😇
It's touching to see you put your whole body into protecting life. I don't think it's anyone's job to study harder and work harder than anyone else. The COVID-19 has increased the number of people cheering for the medical staff, but it was a job that had to be treated before that. I got your back.
As an EMT, we see a lot during prehospital care and have to handle a lot during prehospital care, and I have the upmost respect for my coworkers, firefighters, police officers, and all hospital staff. ❤️🔥
i experienced my first level 1 trauma and death last night as a new nurse. im watching these videos trying to figure out how to process and cope. we fought for an hour to save this persons life. i wish i couldve hugged her and told her how sorry we were. i dreamt about her all last night and ive been crying since i clocked out. she was young, had a whole life ahead of her.
unfortunate to hear. Grief takes a lot out of you but it gets better. You wont forget, but you'll find ways to cope and especially dont isolate yourself, meet otherswith such experiences and bond over the human condition. Celebrate the life ofthe person. Celebrate that you had the honor to lovingly tend to them and comfort them, and they did not die alone. Everybody dies. Some sooner than expected, some later. But everybody eventually dies.
My parents were in a house explosion and collapse many years ago while on vacation. My mother had multiple life threatening injuries. Luckily she was 15 minutes via helicopter to a level 1 trauma center and survived. Had they been at home, the nearest trauma center is a long way away. Her doctors told me she was very lucky to survive. We need more trauma centers so no one is more than 20 minutes away from this level of care. Even one of her doctors from where they live told me had the same thing happened at home, they doubt she’d survived.
May God bless all of these folks that work in ER and in the ORs of all the trauma hospitals. They go very under appreciated most of the time, even by the families of those patients they’re trying to save. God be with you
I worked in a hospital in Fort Worth in college as pre med student, clean up and watching trauma after an accident or whatever was traumatic, somehow they all managed to keep there sanity. ER, nurses and docs really are angels. Bless them for taking care of us in our worst moments in life.
God bless all of you great job my daughter was in trauma hit by car hurt really bad lot surgies I no what how important it is to keep family friends out so u can take care patients
I would like thank all the nurses and doctors for saving people life and caring for people. May God bless you all for doing what you do. And my thought and prayer goes to all of them to keep doing their job. Thank you.
A great big shout out to the EMS,staff,techs,nurses and doctors...They are truly good samaritans. Here in San Jose,We have some of the finest in the world- they have saved my life a few times.It really hits home when its yourself,family,friend or stranger. I love you guys!👍🤗💞
i had Dr. Duane when i was in the hospital and she’s an incredible person. every morning she’d come in and talk to me about school and give me a hug and a kiss on the forehead she’s just a great doctor and i really appreciate that
We are very grateful to our medical teams,cover each and every one of them Lord and give them strength spiritually, mentally, physically and emotionally to under go every operation and situation that they are faced with.
It takes a strong person to be a doctor an even stronger one to be in a truma center where they see people get hurt all the time for one reason or another. I can stomach adults being hurt but to see children on the verge of death is something I can not handle. Yay for people who can they are real heros.
Respect. Unimaginable respect is what I have for these people. They CHOSE to be there and help those who fight for their lives without wanting anything in return...
I work in a hospital and respond to traumas. The hardest one I’ve seen was a 3 year old boy shot in the legs. They got it under control but got him transferred to a children’s hospital ASAP. But most common ones are gunshot wounds on gang members the majority of the time
How nice is to give families a good news out of the operating theater. How difficult it is for these kind big hearted nurses to say "she did not make it" 😭😭😭
When I was in college, I made it to the hospital shortly before my appendix would've burst. I was still in the waiting room for 3 hours and having hallucinations from the pain before they finally got me in and into surgery. I wasn't even mad at how long I had to wait, because I knew that tons of staff members were much busier with much more horrific emergencies similar to this one. When I see people with *relatively* minor injuries freaking out about their wait times, it drives me insane.
GOD BLESS EACH OF YOU UNSUNG HERO'S AND YOUR FAMILIES NOW AND ALWAYS 🙏🤗🙏 As a former nurse, there are things you can't unsee and some of the individuals affect you must harder than others while you diligently work to save each and every one. I applaud each of you and lift you all up in PRAYER 🙏 Sending healing hugs, love and prayers for you all 🤗❤️🙏
something similar happened to me a few months ago in March. I had a miscarriage at work and was rushed to the hospital only to be placed in a room with this many doctors and nurses as well. I have so much trauma from that day.
Part of me really wants to pursue this career, but I don’t know how well I would be able to cope with watching a person die and only being able to do so much to help. Even though I would know it wasn’t my fault, and that I did everything I could I would still feel as though I didn’t do enough. Bless these people for all of their hard work.
