Residents shit on you, attendings don’t even know your name lmao “Med student - want to tell us about cardiac tamponade? What’s becks triad?” Ugh. You just stand there, scrubbed in, like a bitch and take it. From everyone - even silly ass $30,000 scrub nurses. So annoying. Finally when you’re a fourth year someone at least respects you. It’s the third year med student lol. That’s it.

Andy Wijaya that’s true! Well stated. Thanks man. Appreciate the comments.

My father was a surgeon, he would often spend 20+ hours at the hospital as you do. He would push a couple chairs together or sleep in his office on the floor. I remember one time a patient of his has chopped off both his thumbs and mangled them in a snowblower. My father cut off his ring fingers and fashioned them into new thumbs for him. I have no idea how that would be done but it’s frankly amazing to me. The guy was broke, but he gave my Dad his Harley Davidson and insisted upon doing so after numerous refusals. He would work on anyone regardless of compensation so we received a load of gifts. RIP Thomas Sumners. You were a great surgeon and an even better father

I'm curious why the rotations for the chief trauma surgeon resident is 24 hour periods? What benefits does that provide to make it that long of a rotation? It just seems that risks of having a surgeon who is possibly been up for 24 hours or longer would outweigh the benefits of that long of a rotation.

@DavidHindin

6 жыл бұрын

Hey Kolby! I'm definitely not a fan of 24hr shifts even though I do work them. The benefits that have been shown for patients, however, are LESS mistakes in patient care than when doctors have shorter shifts - the main issue being that shorter shifts mean increased handoffs, each with a possibility of forgetting to pass along critical information.

It's been Y E A R S since I've last commented on a KZread video, but I just can't help adding one to this.

I'm dealing with this now while in the process of trying to get help for mesh removal....I'm in pain I can't even describe, it's possibly infected because a sinus track developed and the fluid leaking from it tested positive for staph. I have waited months for visits with surgeons who have been so cold, the last only spent 3 minutes with me after I drove 2 hours to see him although I trust he is very skilled, but when you're suffering it's devastating to think you're seeing someone who might care and instead they blatantly treat you like a number.

Hey Emeka, thank you! Every trauma center is a bit different in terms of staffing. At my institution, we have an NP on our trauma service.

Great video David, i have always been curious about what someone goes through in order to get past the magnitude of such gruesome work? I applaud your mental fortitude which is required for such a job. Thanks!

Hey Dan, thanks so much for the kind words. This is such an important question and there's no really easy answer. For myself, I've found that it's a balance that lies somewhere in trying to silence the emotional parts of yourself in the midst of stressful trauma situations without losing the ability to show empathy for your patients.

you are a real life superhero. Thank you for dedicating your life to the preservation of someone else's.

Definitely no hero, but thank you so much for the kind words, Parker. Appreciate you. and P.S. - just posted a new video yesterday about 24 hour shifts. Curious to hear what you think!

It’s 3-42 am in England I have a maths GCSE exam but instead of sleeping am watching this , anyway amazing video and what subject do you need to be a doctor?

@DavidHindin

6 жыл бұрын

I’m flattered you watched this at 3:42 am! There are different prerequisites for Med school- typically some math courses, chemistry, biology, physics, organic chemistry, and a few others. How’d your GCSE exam go?

how do you make sure you're getting enough to eat and the right nutrients? How do you deal with staff or other residents that you absolutely can't stand?

Hey Christina! It takes a little bit of extra effort and care when picking meals but it's definitely doable. As far as dealing with difficult personalities, I think it's the same in surgery as everywhere else - you keep things professional and focus on the job at hand, really. and P.S. - just posted a new video yesterday about 24 hour shifts. Curious to hear what you think!

You couldn’t pay me enough to go through that. This career is pure passion.

Is your family happy with the move? It's wonderful to see that you are expanding your medical horizons by combining your passions .

That Organic Chemistry textbook gave me PTSD

Loved this day in the life! How much free time do you have? I’m wondering how much time I’ll have for other things in residency.

Hi Adnan, it really depends on the team you're on and the rotation you're on. When I'm trauma chief I have much less free time then when I'm at a community hospital for the month. And like anything else, the main challenge is using the free time that you *do* have effectively.

David Hindin, M.D. Ah, that makes sense. I’m finding out more and more how much free time I’m wasting because I think I’m tired or want a break. There’s so much more I could squeeze out of a day.

Thanks for sharing. I think surgeons are real life super heroes! I hate that you have to get your own coffee or drive yourself to work. We prop up sports stars and celebrities when it should be people like you we raise on our shoulders and care for!

I have Neurogenic Muscle Atrophy and there seems to be no cure. A bicycle accident (hit head sideways on concrete hard), no helmet, had full stroke, damaged nerve that carries blood-oxygen to the muscles. I suspect insulation on Myelin sheath was damaged. Muscles breaking down wasting. Can't tolerate exercise, getting worse fast. 61 years old. Thanks.

Hi! I just stumbled upon this video and it’s always been a dream of mine to become some sort of doctor. What are the requirements or qualities that med school tend to look for when applying? :)

@DavidHindin

Hey Ashley! I’m glad you stumbled across my video 😊. Most Med schools require a combination of science courses for prerequisite requirements - the best bet is to check a few of their websites to get a feel. Let me know if there are any particular video topics you’d like me to cover :)

Thanks for these videos! Really entertaining and informative. Would love to hear a video about the education you had to do go through to get to your position. Would also like to know about your team and the protocol you guys go through when a trauma happens.

These are both GREAT ideas - thank you! Have been meaning to put together a "pathway to surgery" type video, but hadn't thought about going through the trauma bay protocols we use - will definitely plan on doing this!

This came up in my suggested feed. Awesome vid! Thanks for sharing!
