By keeping Drs on shift for so long without sleep, doesn't that make the chance of human error higher? I know how precious these donor organs are, and I would hate to see them at risk due to the surgeons being so exhausted. No hate to this amazing doctor by the way, I think she is incredible. I am more hating on the system, that's making these doctors exhausted
Congratulations🎉 Following you since years. Your success make me feel so so happy. Lots of good wishes on your way❤ Keep shining.
Dear you are a wonderful lady God bless you in the name of Jesus Amen
As a transplant team how does it work with airport security ?
Dr. Am here in Uganda I want to donate a kidney
The hours that doctors are required to keep is more than hard, it’s downright dangerous
❤❤
kindly upload a video every week.... you are an inspiration for USMLE and PLAB aspirants.

Dear you are a wonderful lady keep going
Wish I could have that kidney transplant
As a trained physician you must be cognizant of how unhealthy that lifestyle/ schedule is for you personally
well done sherlock
My resident dr roody would be proud to see how far we’ve become …congrats for king air too…being tired is good it’s a positive good…thanks for saving people’s lifes
Mam U didn't tell how much do we need to score in that exam plus it's fees?and how to prepare for the exam?
It’s my antie👆😊😍
I’m an organ driver in the uk it’s not uncommon for us and surgeons to be out for 40 hrs at a time. Especially when the liver is split and then transported to another hospital and then transplanted. Poor surgeons will not sleep for 60 hours unless they are in the car
Hi ! I'm trying to understand what the elligibility is based on... I'm from Latin America and want to apply. Please let me know!
Another enthusiastic episode, We have a very well established cadaveric programme here in Sri Lanka and most people who benifit from it don't know the value of it, the dedication and sacrifice of the Transplant surgeons and the team, most of our Surgeons travel by road for retrieve the organs drive back and operate. Whish their life would be made easy and given good returns!
It is hard yet you love what you do hence , all these efforts are worth it All for the humanity May success follow you always
What was that plane for?
My friend did usmle in first try 😢 , I m thinking to do it .
Do you find that you’re by yourself / alone a lot during these longs shifts? The doctors at my hospital usually sit by the nurses station bc they get lonely in their lounges 😆
I just watched the video of you doing your first cholecystectomy. You were so excited by the procedure! How fantastic that you are in a hepatobiliary fellowship. Six weeks ago I had a cholecystectomy and hepatectomy. I am so grateful that I had an amazing surgical team. Thank you for what you do!
Can you please say which surgical loupe you use ?
Raga.....can u rememeber me Last month....i had liver transplant.....and u was the surgeon....who operated me...i never forget u....ur care was atmost...thanku
3:40 i want this kind of problems in my life 😭😭😭
Thank you for bringing us along for this shift and showing the realities that can come with this specialty!
How many hours off work did you get after this shift?
15 min
probably not many, and it’s not guaranteed either. You can work as many as 120 hours a week.
Or more than 120 hours, basically you’re done when your patients are taken care of, if something happens then you have to go back into work no matter if you only got home 3 hours ago. There is no protected time off like in most jobs.
Thank you Dr. Raga for bringing us along!! Your dedication and hardwork while working such long hours has inspired be to keep going in medschool.
could you talk about your plans/options after fellowship? Are you thinking of repeating residency?
I cant believe its so much hate on this comments. These is one of the most difficult and important job ever. We all had some very ill family and whish there was a human organ to replace the one who was ill and many times we could not have It because among other causes there is not enough doctora trained on these. Some one should do that work and we all should be thankfull because of these doctors. I am an ICU doctor and a mom and I made both works and these one is hard, there is not cuddles from anyone, no kids laugh,it is totally different from a housewife roll, both are important but these one is unique. So proud of these doctor and her sacriffice, so sad about many comments. Sorry for my Engish, is not my native language.
You does not look happ! I am so sorry to see you tired like that
You’re doing great!!!
you are doing commendable work..... such an inspiration you have been.... thanks a lot and share at least one video every week.. thank you.
Get some rest! You are such a dedicated doctor! I remember my call days...nothing near what I see you do! Best of Luck!
Can you sleep on the plane?
You say its hard, i say its so cool.🥰
Who says it's hard...be it a housewife where the fish monger brings fish or a transplant Dr says there s a kidney or liver coming in...well life is the same for all ..do well in your professions be it a Dr or engineer or sweeper...after all life is a big circle ...what you give to earth comes back to you ..
@@teresamickle4431if you think procuring an organ and performing the surgery isn’t hard then you’re kidding yourself.
@@indefat it's a recurring job for doctors...they are doing this daily...and practice makes perfect
Each patient is a challenge ..they are educated...experienced doctors ...if u see my comment above I know a person who spend more than 80 l had a transplant and expired after 4 days...now tell me who is to blame? If you know your job well your fine...
How safe is liver transplant? ..a person near us spend 80 lakhs and two days he was dead due to bleeding.
Dearest Dr. Raga! I’m not sure if you’re ever going to get a chance to read this, but nevertheless! I just wanted to let you know, that I don’t know you personally, but you are so DEEPLY INSPIRING and your journey has been so wonderful to witness. It feels like yesterday when I discovered your channel when you were a first year trainee, and look at you now! Doing a fellowship in such a NICHE, elite and competitive specialty in one of the largest, most dynamic cities in the States. Every time i used to watch your videos, i would be so amazed and tell myself, my God this girl is living out my dream life! The sheer dedication, grit and hard work from day one until now is unparalleled! I remember running into you in the changing rooms before stepping into the theatres at RH (you were studying then too 😃) and you were so warm and friendly! It has been so beautiful to witness your evolution, growth and achievements along your entire journey. Your success is not only a personal success but such a huge win for women in surgery worldwide. Can’t wait to see you shine even brighter every day!! Keep crushing!
😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍
Im glad she is well now, but did she ever mention what the surgery was for?
Congrats! I am planning to do MIS as a fellowship, is it competitive? And do you think it is attainable as an IMG resedint?
