    Honestly I’m currently torn between medicine and nursing on my second year of college about to obtain my Associates in nursing and I’m thinking of becoming a CRNA, but truly my passion and love lies in medicine. I want to be in the ER and know all these things and procedures to save people. I’ve been on my laptop all day researching until I came across your video. I don’t know if I’m prepared for it, but I don’t want to become a CRNA and then regret not going to med school and this video I feel just made me say screw it im going to take the challenge. Literally had my adrenaline pumping just imagining being there I’m definitely saving this video and I honestly want to thank you. I can sleep in peace now knowing I’m going to go after what I love and hope to become. I wish you luck as well and keep doing these videos man you’ve just become my inspiration.

    Peace be to you Dr.Pinesett ! Thanks for sharing this anecdote! For some reason, I thought you were a surgical resident. I like your description of the chief resident ("did you hear that?!"). I think this shows the different levels of knowledge among different specialties and even, jobs. Do you find that you're utilizing your knowledge derived in courses like General Chemistry, Physiology and Pharmacology more so than if you were specializing in something else? I wish you the VERY best of succes in your endeavors! Peace!

Before for me, anesthesiology sounded kind of boring to me,, for the same reason you gave, cause they always look so calm, so "whatever" with the patients, but after this and some investigation, now I'm really considering anesthesiology as my speciality, so really thank you (:

    I am currently beggining first year of anesthesia residency in Spain. I wasn't sure about my choice until I saw a BP of 40/20, 210 BPM from a young 31 yo patient with severe blood loss (2 years ago).
    I laughed a lot when you told that one anaesthesia attending "loves" that SVT. I love cardio and VT/VF/SVT and I would probably think the same at that moment. I have some love-hate relationship with dangerous situations too, I expect to see them a lot! haha

    I would like your opinion on people who tell me don’t waste time on medical school because CRNA is shorter? and don’t be a doctor because “oh I heard doctors hate their lives, go the nurse practitioner route it’s also cheaper”.....I’m tired of people trying to discourage me 😑😤 but then I watch you videos and they are so encouraging. Thanks.

    • @andaiibori7205
      @andaiibori7205 6 лет назад +2

      Nickolas Tomlinson Lmao, I’ve never heard anyone say that. Most doctors I see are very satisfied with their lives and line of work, if they’re not then they are in it for the wrong reasons... My parents taught me that working hard now in school will benefit me much more later in life, so just because a CRNA or nurse is shorter doesn’t mean it’s as worthwhile long term. Not to discourage or discredit them, but I could never see myself as anything but a doctor. But it’s not for everyone, you really have to want to be a doctor yourself if you want the true satisfaction.

    SVT is a narrow complex tachycardia resulting from fast fire “Supra” or above the ventricles. Needs to be treated right away before it turns into v-tach. Good stuff otherwise man!

    • @PremedProductivity
      @PremedProductivity  7 лет назад +4

      Caleb actually, that’s not correct. SVT is a class of tachycardia originating above the AV node. Only needs emergent treatment if patient has heart risk factors or it is extremely fast. For example, when you exercise you experience SVT, but you don’t need treatment 😀

    • @Piindtube
