  • Med School Insiders is a large youtube channel that offers great advice to those interested in pursing a career in medicine. When I saw the video on So you want to be a Trauma surgeon, I had to take a look.
    The break down of trauma surgery is pretty accurate. Trauma surgeon has some pretty unique demands and challenges. Med school insiders does solid job of describing what I think is a rewarding but rather challenging career.

    I can’t wait to see Dr. Hindin post: “Trauma surgeon reacts to trauma surgeon reacting to so you want to be a trauma surgeon”

    You give such a thorough and interesting point of view in each of your videos , I was hoping if you could make a video on how you manage your time / work-life balance as I always pictured surgeons as intensely busy people and wonder how you find the time to make such consistent good quality content, or maybe a video talking about a surgeon's lifestyle, id really love to hear ur insight on that topic

      Surgeons are busy. But, I think they “day in the life” videos kinda exaggerate things a bit. I am thinking about doing a reaction to like every surgeon day in the life video on RUclips

    You said you like comments so I figured I might as well leave one. I'm a paramedic student, just curious about all the stuff that happens inside the hospital. I wonder, how much do paramedic's efforts actually help a trauma patient once they arrive at the hospital? My guess: it mostly depends on how fast the patient gets there since paramedics can't treat their injuries- just keep their heart pumping and lungs full

    • @RichHilsden

      Paramedics help a lot. The key is to get the patient alive to the hospital. With the heart beating there is a lot we can do. If CPR is in progress, very unlikely the patient will survive. I definitely appreciate the hard working paramedics in my community

    This video was awesome. I just started shadowing as an MS1 in our hospital's trauma bay here at UT Health San Antonio, and I'm really enjoying the experience. I just learned this last week that trauma surgeons do operations above the diagram, which you also discussed here going into detail about the thoracotomy. I didn't know that before! It is amazing all of the surgeries you do in surgical critical care.

    Could you make a video about how to make important decisions quickly and under uncertainty? Tips you have learnt with trauma surgery, that could be applied to non-medical contexts?

    I have been researching different specialties I would like to go into, and this is one of them. The one thing I do not have is a clear picture of the work-life balance or schedule. Do you work a shift-type schedule, if yes how many hours would you say you are working? Also How many days are you getting entirely off? Also, how much were you earning during residency?

    Hey Doc, loved the video. Can you explain how you have time to be a trauma surgeon and also have the private general surgery clinic that you mentioned in the video. I would be interested in going this route in the future, but I'm unsure of how that works and the logistics of that, considering the unpredictability of the schedule in trauma. During a trauma surgery rotation of mine, the trauma attendings had a different schedule each month, almost random, and I imagine that would be difficult to balance having a private practice. Thank you!

    • @RichHilsden
      @RichHilsden  Год назад +1

      Great question. It's really a matter of scheduling. In my institution, nobody is on trauma all of the time. For balance, we all have an elective practice as well. That way we treat a variety of general surgery conditions on top of trauma.

    I would like a story time about what made you choose medicine and a bit more about why you chose surgery. I remember in one of your videos you mentioned that you worked in family medicine previously, could you tell about what made you change field and how that change was?

    • @RichHilsden
      @RichHilsden  2 года назад +4

      Great suggestion. An older video, but I tell a few stories about why I wanted to be a surgeon here.

    Would be interesting to know how you move from primary care to trauma. My brain is running overtime trying to figure out that partway lol.

    • @RichHilsden
      @RichHilsden  Год назад +1

      Always wanted to be a surgeon. So I applied and matched. I mean, there was a process but that is the TLDR
