VLOG || 60 hour call vascular surgery chief resident

Hi all, I'm back, and this time I'm taking you along for one of my call weekends as a senior resident. Ignore some of my ramblings as I started to get slightly delirious towards the end...

    Thank you for this precious video. I want to pursue a surgical specialty and you are a huge inspiration to me. Your video has such a positive impact that you have no idea, especially because you show human dilemmas and not the idea that we are robots. Thank you so much for taking time out of your day to record this vlog, thank you from the bottom of my heart. I wish that in this final stretch you feel more fulfilled every day and are proud of how much you overcame the obstacles to become the sensational surgery that you are. Thank you, really.

    Congrats on completing residency. I work in a hospital as a Unit Clerk (Waiting for med school acceptance :/ ) and I see how hard some of the surgery residents work. Looks pretty brutal at times. Good job

    New sub!! Funny enough I had a femoral endarterectomy in November (7 hours no less) in a non-teaching hospital. Excellent physicians, small community hospital (I am use to working in a large hospital like where you are at) and it went really well. Love your vlog and congratulations on the last of your residency!! Attending here you come!! (Your husband cooking ❤️ and your pup is adorable!!) I recognized your logo! When you talk about jinxing I get that so well!!

    Bad call weekend makes for great vlog, ty for your commitment to capturing the behind the scenes. Best bits are def your time spent with Chef James and Pax. Oh and as a hospitalist, ty for coming in middle of the night and improving pt outcome. Look forward to watching your last wknd on call as a chief in the near future...?

    You did a good job of communicating the struggle of an on call weekend, it was also very visible. To be honest, it was almost as if we were on the emotional journey with you (when you felt tired, I remembered I am too lol). Timestamps would have been great! Keep up the great work! 👍

    Wow! First thing that impresses me is your demeanor. I'm used to surgical residents, especially females, having a very hard exterior (out of necessity). Kudos to you for maintaining humility and grace. Secondly, I want to comment about your husband, James. I'm assuming he is not a surgeon. Thank goodness so that he is able to support you!! James is AMAZING. Thank you for sharing your journey despite how chaotic and hectic it is. In the long term, it will all have been worth it.

    It's home call, so I have to be available but not always at work. Depends on how busy it gets. One of my prior call weekends I was mostly at home. If it does get to be truly nonstop with emergencies and cases, there are backup plans in place

    looks too well rested for a surgery resident. seems residency has become too easy nowadays compared to 30 years ago when we did it.

    Forgive me if I'm wrong, but I'm assuming you're a surgeon. I'm sorry your training was too difficult and that you didn't feel like you had enough rest. Just because something was more difficult in the past doesn't mean it was better, or that it needs to still be that way.

    @@YangYangMD You are so gracious. I'm glad silasketgaskets cleared up that comment was sarcasm. If anything, I think surgical residency is MUCH MUCH harder than 30 years ago. Medicine in general is becoming more advanced and technical. Possibilities are endless these days for intervention. People who would have easily died 30 years ago are now being kept alive with more and more absurd, desperate measures resulting in longer life spans but not necessarily better quality of life :(
