Day in the Life of a DOCTOR: 24 hours with NO SLEEP

BUSIEST Day in the Life of a Doctor!! Such a crazy 24 hours in the hospital! Between seeing patients on the ward and new patients in the emergency department, there was no time to rest.
Do you want me to do a whole video on how I stay positive, even when things get overwhelming?
Thanks so much for watching!

    I bet you hear that pager in your sleep! How can you make sound decisions when you are sleep deprived? And people in medicine know that better than anyone yet throughout North America they put residents through the mill. I don’t know how you do it. I have three sisters who are nurses. L&D, Surg floor and day surgery although miss Day Surgery is retired.

    This woman is going to be a fantastic physician. She really has "a light" in her, as they say. To stay so cool and calm under such pressure is amazing, but most importantly you can tell she has a deep sense of compassion. That's what most doctors are lacking these days, and you can't teach empathy in medical school. I love seeing people doing exactly what they were meant to do in this life, and she's one of them.

    My question is, how is it acceptable to put doctors in so much sleep deprivation? I seriously don’t know any other profession where you have to not only study years to become a doctor, but are not treated with respect as much to allow them to sleep! I give you props and respect your profession!

    Unfortunately, the amount of people wanting to be a doctor and the amount of spots in medical schools for future doctors are QUITE disproportionate. Therefore, there are simply fewer and fewer doctors...even though there are more and more students aspiring to be doctors.

    Violin MD some of our specialists such as Intensivists and Cardiologists are on call over an entire weekend. For the Intensivist this is difficult as they could potentially be up for 48 hours straight. Luckily our ICU employs 24/7 Pa’s and ARNP’s who help lighten the load on the doctors and sleep in house if they are able to. Most of hospitalists groups and Residents do 12 hour shifts. I can’t imagine how our system gets away with allowing a Doctor to be on call 48 hours especially our Intensivists. At least they are not usually needed at night and can sleep. They are always as pleasant as you are when they do have to come in though :)

    Good job showing the stress of the 24 hr call day for an IM resident. Hence, why I went into anesthesia. I would not be a nice person when answering pagers from all over the hospital for random things at 3am. Of course, we do still have to respond on call to midnight labor epidurals and emergent surgery so I suppose everyone has their cross to bear.

I love studying the human body, and i do try my best at understanding chemistry, however if its a challenge for me now, do you think that i should reconsider medical school altogether? my alternative would be microbiology which i guess requires some level of bio chemistry as well.... thanks in advance!! xxx
