“Jack of all trades, master on none, but oftentimes better than a master of one” I think the full quote is more accurate to EM doctors
I'd say EM docs are the masters of stabilization
Lmaooo ok guy
Exactly
Doctors don't know shit. Medication and doctors have one thing in common. They both kill you!!!!
@@HowieDoIt93 arguable but that could also be given to mid-tier and even lower-tier providers (NP, PA, RN, NRP, and EMT)
“Jack of all trades, master of none” is a poor characterization of EM physicians. They are the masters of resuscitation and treating the undifferentiated patient. Handling emergencies IS their speciality.
Good point mitch
Thank you, as an EM resident I resent being called jack of all trades. oh the insult and disrespect!
@@odesialowe6908 No problem! I don't think it's said out of disrespect often, but it is definitely inaccurate and worth correcting!
@@PoorManStJohn really? which state are you from? you dont need to specify anything in particular, but as he said in the video, the hourly pay for em is *very* diverse
im about to become a resident next year and really interested in taking up em! any words of advice?
I would say Anesthesia probably is a master of resuscitation in a way as well! Also, Idk if EM is MORE of a master of diagnosing/treating undifferentiated patients as IM/FM. I think all 3 are capable of treating undifferentiated patients, but EM has to do it more rapidly, and they have access to most tools they need in any moment, where as an IM / FM doc may have the same DDx on their list as the EM Docs, but due to lack of an inhouse lab outpatient, and need for them to go to a pharmacy rather than ordering a drug that is immediately given, they just have to go slower unfortunately. Otherwise, agreed! Two people can master one thing.
Having been an emergency physician for 16 years, I must point out that this video is largely accurate except two crucial oversights. First, we are indeed jack of all trades, but we are not experts of none. The reason is why Emergency Medicine is a specialty recognized by ABMS is because we are experts of resuscitation, bringing patient from one side of life back to the other side. Resuscitation is not the same as stabilization. Your second cucial oversight is our well recognized ability to intubate in the most chaotic situations, whereas Anesthesia and Intensivitist in general do not. Tsk Tsk.
Emergency medicine is my goal :-)
@@matthewlanglands6943
Same man.
Currently in love with the idea of becoming one, I hope someday i'll be one of you, thank you for saving lives❤
I think you know when you’ve found your chosen specialty when everything in the video makes you excited!
I felt very same think as you did. Good luck in the EM field. ❤️
I was debating between a trauma surgeon or em and after watching Im pretty sure I want to be an em
I feel the same way! Good luck :)
Same!!
Same way!
I’m an EM resident. We like to say “jack of all trades, master of SOME”. We are masters at resuscitation, triage, and making quick decisions with limited information.
do emergency medicine doctors work in the ER?
@@therandomcroissantd8879yes they are the ones who usually run it
@@therandomcroissantd8879yes
@@therandomcroissantd8879 ........ buddy thats the only place they work
@@therandomcroissantd8879 nah bro in a target
Can you do “so you want to be an ANESTHESIOLOGIST.”
Been waiting for it and I always think of @KristinaBraly
Nine Cookies yes I love her!
I clicked on ‘comments’ to comment this! Only to see that someone already has😂🤞🏽
Very informative! Hope to see a video about anesthesiologists soon
Can you do " so you want to be a pediatrician" or anything related to pediatrics
I agree with you
artzy craftzy OMG me to
Exactly
Yea
LOUDER
My daughter is a board certified ER physican and all I know she works long hours and never gets enough sleep……… So proud of her
Some of the things I like the most about being an EM resident are the connections and humanity you have with the patients, they come with anything more than symptoms and history to tell you, and it's your work to convert in a diagnose (even is only a syndromic diagnose) and give an answer to them, so you have to make an excellent medical- patient relationship and have a high suspicious of what's happening. I love my job, and my advice is in ED every day is different, and you have to live this every day in awareness, some days are good, some of them are bad, some diagnoses are not "interest enough" and later become your first prioritization in the whole shift, everything can change in a minute. (and please, don't put attention to what other specialists say, every one of them depends on us).
"everyone of them depends on us"
In year 4/6 of medschool in Nairobi, think I found what to do after internship .
I had the privilege of shadowing an emergency medicine physician at one of the best hospitals in the US. Let me tell you, one of the smartest, most genuine, and humble guys you’ll ever meet. A little bit intimidating being premed knowing I’m speaking to a guy with knowledge and expertise far beyond what I could dream of. At this hospital, which i also work at as a PCA, they rotate working in EVERY department in the ED. For anyone with knowledge of EDs you know just how different each department can be and how impressive it is to go from treating someone who just got hit by a train to someone with chest pain in the same week. These guys are so brilliant AND personable. They have to think on their feet, be the final decision makers on life altering decisions, and lead everyone around them. Obviously the nurses, residents, and PAs are brilliant in their own right however, being THE GUY everyone turns to in the most dire and stressful circumstances is a privilege we have in the medical field. These doctors work hard to get to where they are at but I do believe some are just born for it. Jack of all trades is a great description. Their brain is build different 🧠
First like the video, then watch it. You ARE AWESOME, a huge motivation and so much more to learn from you man. Been following you for 2 years now across both channels and instagram accounts, keep up the good work.
Can you do a “So you want to be a Radiologist/Interventional Radiologist?”
this👏🏻is👏🏻my👏🏻future👏🏻 just thinking about being in emergency medicine makes me so freaking excited like i get chills when i think about it!! i cannot wait.
So happy this video exists
I always wanted to pursue emergency medicine and had so many questions but never had someone to answer them
This video is perfect
I've been looking forward to this video, thank you!
Can you do "so you want to be a DERMATOLOGIST" plzzz.
I would recommend that u watch a dermatologists entire routine dr.Shireen Idress it is sort of a day in the life
"So you want to be an oncologist?" PLEASE!!
Love this video! Thank you for all the time you put into the "so you want to be" series.
Thank you 😊
These videos are super helpful, thanks so much for making them!
This episode on becoming an emergency medicine doctor is incredibly insightful! It offers valuable perspective on the challenges and rewards of this noble profession. Thanks for shedding light on the journey to becoming an emergency medicine doctor-it's truly inspiring!
I’m currently doing an internship and will be getting my degree next April. And right now I’m interested in Em. Please keep these coming! I’m really grateful for these types of videos.
Huge respect for medical staff especially during this pandemic they are our heroes
I appreciate your videos because they really help people that are not sure about what they want to do in medicine. Your editing is top notch, and you give a summary of the subject in just enough detail. Keep up the good work!
Amazing video! Brilliant content as always. Best on your journey.
Now I see why it's one of the most competitive residencies in Canada; it sounds amazing. This series is really opening up my eyes because I've been stuck on pathology since I was like twelve. Thanks for the information
Thank you so much for making this video man. Becoming an ED physician's my dream and your video really cleared a lot of thing yo for me and motivated me more to become one.
I turned on my post notifications to see this exact episode. Thank you!
Thanks so much for sharing, Dr. Jubbal!!
Thank you for another super helpful, yet thorough video!
"So you want to be a Psychyatrist" PLEASE
There's a video on 'A day in life of a psychiatrist' if that helps
I've been waiting for this, Doc. Thank you so much! 🙏💓
Awesome videos!! I remember you did "pediatrics" in your video about the "least competitive specialties" but I'd like to hear more about it in a more detailed video! Especially about the lifestyle, dealing with parents, and the work hours. Again, thanks for the amazing content!
totally agree!!!!
Damn I literally felt like you were describing me when speaking about the character traits of an EM doctor. Thanks for this video im feeling more and more certain about what specialty I want to be in 😁
Can you do "So you want to be an ob/gyn"
Yes!!!
Finally!!
I've been waiting so long for this one
Dr. Jubbal, you made my day with this video
Very creative education. I'm learning and creating my best. Thanks for inspiration :)
The Med school insiders logo has changed!!!! Loved the video Dr. Jubbal!
working as a scribe in the ER were some of the best and worst times in my life. i learned so much working there and left every shift satisfied knowing i contributed to helping the doctor care for the patient.
Seems like lots of scribes now due to increasingly insane “documentation “ demands, does the ER physicians hire you independently? How much is pay? You do the coding for them?
Love these vídeos, please do next Anesthesia, Urology, Psychyatry or Neurology!
Watching this video was like a checklist of all the things I'd want to do as a physician.
this is great! love this series
Loved this! Was super helpful
One time I was shadowing an international medicine doctor and he told me that if you can work at FedEx, you can be an ER doc. “All you do is ship them up.”
I was too scared to say “and make sure they don’t die!”
Sounds rather egotistical
Omg thank you so much was needing this badly. Could you also do a 'so you want to be a pediatrician' or something simmilar please? Thank you for the grat vid😇
I worked at the Er as a scribe and I loved it. Made me wanna go into emergency medicine
Could you, please, do “so you want to be an oncologist”?
FINALLY U MADE THIS ONE!!!
Great video Kevin. Thanks for doing it. Can you do one on becoming a family doctor/functional medicine doctor as that’s the route I’d like to go?
Great speciality! Surely will consider it!
Love this series!
This videos are great! Thank you so much!!
Man I've been waiting for this video!
Love your videos!! Can you please do a “so you want to be a pediatric surgeon”
Watching this video made me excited.
Great video! Im waiting for the so you want to be a critical care doctor
As an ED doc for 21 years, I can say the exciting trauma and resuscitation stuff is pretty rare. The bread and butter of EM is undifferentiated abdominal pain and chest pain, weak and dizzy seniors, and access issues for patients who don't have family physicians. If you like those, you'll like EM. But if you're expecting excitement, you are deluding yourself, and once you get accepted into an EM residency and complete it, you are invested in the specialty a great deal by the time you find out what you really signed up for!
Would you say the "bread and butter" part is a perk for people who enjoy routine and a lack of surprises in their career? I'm trying to map out my future application plans and I'm wondering if EM is a good choice, especially regarding the massive flee from the specialty that happened this past cycle.
Can you do "so you want to be a cardiothoracic surgeon"?
Yes I agree
Yes, please
Yes 🙏🏼
Yes please!!!!
This makes me laugh because you literally described me.. ADD, wants to know all the things and love hiking and outdoors. I’ve been all over the place in the medical field. I think it’s for me
As an over 30 years emergency medical physician and paramedic prior to my medical studies, I cannot see myself being in any other field. Proud as a peacock!
Love this. Thank you
Will love to see an episode for critical care doctors
When I graduate highschool and move onto bigger things, Emergency Mecicine and Radiology are my favorite.
Ty been waiting on this since i discovered the channel a yr ago
i really loved the emergency rotations ♥️i wish one day can make my dream come true
been waiting for this!
This sounds freaking awesome 👌
Can you do “so you want to be a gastroenterologist”
Also what its like to be in a position such as a manager in a hospital.
You should do “so you want to be an Infectious Disease specialist!”
Yes please! Future epidemiologist here!
Yeeeeeees
Uffff, just finish my biology finale to find my self with this great surprise. 🤩
Great vid! Very informative! Can you do one for Urology? I feel it tends to be much overlooked. I’m a third year Med student wishing I knew more about that specialty earlier!
I think I just found my favourite channel. SUBSCRIBED...😊
thanks for the vid. good stuff
Qué bueno vídeo. Soy filipino y siempre quise ser un doctor porque yo creo qué es el profesión donde puedo tener alegría. Gracias por estos informaciones.
I am a scribe for ER and this video is pretty accurate.
Another great video! Can you do one of these videos for Radiology?
My future career! As a 3 year MD student I got to pick my residency before I started med school. I'm doing EM!
Do, “So You Want To Be A Pediatric Surgeon?”
can you please create a video on journalling please! really admire your videos btw! thank you so much!!
This video was very helpful. Thank you so much.
Glad it helped :)
i am a middle schooler and i definitely want to work in medicine. my 3 main specialties i cant decide between are Emergency medicine, Cardiology, and Pediatrics. every time i take one of those silly quiz's or even just talk about it to people, im always told i would make a great emergency doctor.
I’m a 22 year old and want to do it too perhaps! Keep On Keepin On!!!!!
Love it! Could you do one on Family Medicine? Thanks!
Can you do “so you want to be a sports medicine doctor”? Or could you go into depth about an EM attending with a sports medicine fellowship?
Jack of all trades, master of Emergencies.❤
Can you do anesthesiologist and internal medicine physician next? Awesome video by the way!
Can you do “so you want to be a radiologist?”
Yes !!
No need they are being replaced.
@@user-lu6yg3vk9z not true
@@user-lu6yg3vk9z I disagree
Believe it or not they are going to be replaced. My dad is an emergency medicine doctor and he says that computers are already beginning to take over radiologist jobs
Can you do “ so you want to be an internal medicine doctor”
Could you do a So you want to be an Anesthesiologist please?
MS2 rn. EM was already the number #1 seed (I'm biased as a paramedic), but with some other top seeds too. Still, you got me at the "always doing something" gig
can you make a day in the life of a neurosurgeon sometime? I might be wrong, but I believe you said you were going to, but I haven’t seen it on your second channel. I am very interested in that, so just dropping this as a reminder.
Can you do one about Internal Medicine? Maybe explain the different routes like Acute Internal Medicine. That'd be great!
Please do on internal medicine ,what's its like what are the usual cases seen as an non specialized internist!
ADD you say? This does really sound perfect for me!
I am in a High School right know. I want to be ED. I really love this job. I hope that this will never change.
Me as a freshmen in high school;
yea imma become a ER doctor y not seems fun right?
me after completing my med school and starting residency;
Yep this is what I call fun
Could you please describe....what you had expected vs what it actually was??
I am a high school student and I am interested in this field...it would be really helpful.
Thank you. Have a great day!
Sarcasm or not? It's really hard to tell
This is the goal🙏
"So you want to be an Anesthesiologist" next pls!!!
Great video! Ophthalmology next please!
This is so interesting!
