What's in my DOCTOR'S BAG ON-CALL?: Preparing for a Call Shift (medical resident vlog)
This video shows how I prepare for my call shift as a medical resident and what I pack in my call bag! As a junior doctor, you never know what's coming on a call shift, so the best thing you can do is prepare your food, bring clean cloths, and medical resources!
Let me know if you guys have other "MUST BRING ITEMS" that I don't know about!

That "more pen" part is so truuuue 😂 I'm 4th year Pediatric Resident (Finally!) and Everyone makes fun of me during my On-call because I bring a small Travel Suitcase "on Wheels" 😅 I bring a lot of stuff with me (including a blanket!) just in case something goes wrong..
The apple joke thing was cute 😂
as soon as you mentioned lip balm my lips were like "MOISTURIZE ME!"
"Apple to keep the Doctor away" ahhahaha. Lol.

Glad you enjoyed it!!hahah the small details make all the difference!! 😂
As someone who is often in hospitals, you've given me another perspective on how my doctors and the medical process works. Thank you for that.
Watching all of your videos I understood how much you are satisfied and love your job as a doctor you are really a great inspiration.........please keep inspiring us
I’m not in the medical field, but I am currently a SAHM, I find that bringing a few sizes of plastic zip top baggies is essential for messes (dirty scrubs), and protection (phone saver) and to keeps things organized! I keep some wipes on hand too, because you never know when you’ll need them! We love your videos! My little boy always asks to watch you. ☺️
Have watched many of the vids here what a bright scintillating personality this Doc has a real joy to listen to and learn a little about life as a Doctor
I get super cold too! I wear yoga pants under my scrubs :) Very helpful when running to a code and the poorly fitting scrubs start slipping hahaha.

Violin MD thank you! I'm starting clerkship this month so just prepping! Good luck on the rest of you PGY1 year!
I love the way she says bag and tag ....LOVE IT❤❤💙
Watching ur videos make me feel like i can handle anything after seeing how hard you work at the hospital....♥️♥️❤️
I love your videos so much! I'm a nurse in Australia and wanting to go on to do my MD. keep up the posting! Xxxxx
So awesome! i just found you and already watched 17 videos in one day, so entertaining 🚑
I carry the same stuff while on call haha ! good luck with your residency, dear !
I am only a few videos in to your channel, and I already really enjoy it. I love your enthusiasm and wonderful personality. It also helps that you are also really cute. I also really enjoy your violin intro and I think you should make some more videos of you playing the violin.
Doc, I love your videos. Thanks for sharing your thoughts.
What a smile you've got! ❤
These videos are so entertaining to me! I want to become a doctor so it's fun to see what it's like in the real world.
In Sweden people working in any kind of care have work clothes (that they leave in a locker in a changing room in the hospital when going home) with at least two BIG pockets on the top and usually big pockets on the trousers as well, where they keep everything (multiple phones, stetoscope, notebook, medical tape, scissor etc). Sometimes some countries seems so old-fashioned. A really postive thing with your working clothes though is that they don't look as formal as the Swedish ones does.
Im so obsessed with your vids
I horde pens so when I go to the hospital I clean out my pens and give them to the doctors - they all love me for the rest of the night. I live about 45 miniutes form you - but some of our local patient transfer companies give out pens with clips on the top so you can clip it on your keys
I really liked your video! I'm a medical student in Mexico and I find it very interesting to watch how different and also how similar is the medical experience in other parts of the world. I don't know if the hospital would provide it, but I would take a toothbrush and toothpaste with me for after eating :)

the pen on the lanyard is what i do as well !!!! super helpful
Great video!!!your my motivation.🇬🇩from Grenada....I’m coming to the USA for college soon.
You’re sooo awesome!!!
Great video! Can you pleassseee make a video about things you bought before starting residency? I.e new aid books, new medical equipment, a uworld subscription? I start soon and I'm a little confused on how to be prepared as much as possible. Thanks!

Extra pens and extra scrubs are A MUST!
How about trying one of them 24 Hours MRE Rations !! They sure give soldiers all the necessary nutritions for a day.
just going through all of your videos while I do my homework ^..^ New sub
You should also bring a small blanket. When you have you have to sleep there.
I love you so much. If I watch you more I'm going to choose medicine😂
This made me laugh. I thought I was an overthinker and -preparer, but you have me beat. I also recently saw another medical youtuber talk about his kit for call shifts - literally underpants, socks, deodorant, toothpaste + toothbrush. The end. =)

Ream A yeah I was wondering the same thing
I’m not a doctor but I agree about the scrubs. I was having a severe allergic reaction and what of symptoms was nauseous, needless to say after the nurse giving me the medication wi was supposed to take, I threw up on her. Me being a Canadian I apologized about 100 times. Still feel bad about it.
I need an updated oneee
Do you ever feel dirty or like you need a shower after coming home (dirty as in you HAVE to take a shower and change clothes asap after returning home) or after touching things that have been at the hospital?
Don’t worry your phone won’t spontaneously combust unless it’s a Samsung note 7 but if it is RUN!!!!
Wow I am surprised that so many things all fit into your backback. You are wise using a backpack because you can put the backpack into the washer and add desinfectant. With a leather bag this would be a different story. By the way, lip balm makes the lips only temporarily better but dryer on the long run. There is plenty of information on the internet.
Couldn't you get a set of Scrubs from the Hospital if you needed them? Have a great day and also that you kick butt on your Tests this weekend!
Great video! 5 years later I’m guessing you are done with your residency now. lol. I was curious about the purse that you kept your small guidebooks and pens. Did you carry the purse around like someone who wears a Fanny pack/hip pack/belt bag (so many names for the same thing 😂)?
Yip. There is nothing worse than starving on a night shift and not having something to eat. I also keep granola bars in my lab coat pocket for the times that I cant eat at all. Good ideas though. :)
I’m very intrigued by the facts u brought spoons and not forks
I am 10 but honestly want to be a doctor because I watch her
Yes, I fall asleep around 4am when I don’t eat nothing during night shift.
How meny steps do you walk in a day?
I’m a doctor in Brazil, we have to bring our own sheets and pillows if we wanna take a nap lmao they won’t even give us that lmao
Some of my friends bring their own sheets/blankets when they're on call. I wanted to see if this was a common occurrence internationally, but it seems not! 😂 Best of luck in your residency ❤️

I’m sorry I’m new to your channel , but what exactly does a doctor do? And if a doctor were to work in a trauma center what would be different
Damn so excited to graduate nursing school next year and apply for a doctorate program, I know nurse practitioners have a lot of differences compared to medical doctors but I just can’t wait to be at the same level as you!!!

Hydration/water/drinks?☺
do you doctors get cars with lights and sirens on i know some doctors do if they go to an mva or rtc
Can you bring plum instead of the apple.
Do you choose your scrubs color? Or does hospital tell you what color?

Interesting! What about a water bottle?
I doubt I'll get a reply because I know this is an old video but as someone with anaphylaxia caused by nuts being anywhere close to me or people that have eaten nuts close to me how do you prevent cross contamination after eatting them (aside from general hand hygiene) and would having someone in your care with a severe allergy affect you eatting them?
Where's the neck pillow to take short naps?
Why don’t they wear white coats? If you are in the ER. Seems uncomfortable to be wearing a purse all day or when you are on call etc
How many hours of rest do you say you get in that 26 hour shift?
I did a BSc in Physics decoded I am more interested in medschool. Do you think I could get in? I didn't take any O'Chem but I had a high GPA. Do you think it is possible?
You may have mentioned this in another video but why do hospitals still use pagers (as opposed to any other consumer or specialty telecom device)? It seems like such an outdated piece of technology for such a critical industry.
