    Huge respect for your profession. I had an accidental discharge of my firearm while I was cleaning it. The .40 cal hollowpoint entered my left upper thigh, exited the lower thigh then entered my backside calf and remained lodged in. I was taken into North East Georgia Medical Center as a level 1 trauma(By the grace of GOD I missed my femoral artery by less then 2 centimeters and my popliteal artery by very little. I didnt hit any bones nor tendons.) A trauma surgeon by the name of "Gregory Strauther" was there and performed a Faciotomy. After 3 months of waiting for the muscle to granulate he then installed an ABRA system on my leg to close the surgical wounds. If it wasn't for fine men/women like yourself I wouldn't be alive. Thank you for your work!
    PS: I have absolutely no side effects, I can walk, run and lift weights perfectly fine. My recovery has been remarkable.

    For people who are saying that 30h is inhumane and unsafe for patients, keep in mind that its not uncommon for a single surgery to be 8-15 hours long if not longer. For all the people who get injured and need emergent surgery, how would a hospital be staffed if the surgeons only performed one long surgery per day each? Medical school is beyond gruelling and prepares people for this lifestyle so trust your doctors.

      Your point being a tired surgeon is better than no surgeon at all in case of emergency. That is obviously right but somewhat trivial. The underlying problem is that for decades there have been too few doctors in the staff, and the underlying problem for that are tow things:
      First, hospitals trying to make maximum money so they do what they can to use minimum medical personell for maximum care (which implies a self abuse of the personell because they always have to work at the limit or above).
      2nd issue: too few people getting access to med school in the first place. There are enough young people wanting to go to med school but they cant because of money and/orbad grades (which is relative, since if all students get better the necessary gpa would also get higher). So the solution isnt saying "better a tired surgeon than no surgeon", the solution is to create more doctors...
      That demands changes in policies. More requirements for hospitals, more limitations of work hours, and more college places in med schools, also those which are affordable.

    I saw you all the time last yr while on MS3 trauma rotation. I didn’t know you had a channel, but I saw you in my suggestion box and recognized you. Surgeons get mad respect from me for being able to sustain this pace for yrs and yrs. 2 months of 24hr shifts was enough for me. I remember being in the OR and a nurse complained abt adjusting to the 12 hr shifts, at which point I said “well I’m on q4 24’s with 12’s between”. Then the resident tops us all saying “I’m on q3 30’s with 12-16 for my short day”. Nobody topped that.

  • @alivia214
    @alivia214 5 лет назад +13

    Surgery takes hours at a time so a 30 hour shift makes a lot of sense. If there are multiple patients coming in with traumas and they need surgery depending on the case that could take anywhere from 5-15 hours. If their shifts were only 12 hours than they wouldnt have time to do anything.

      I work in a hospital but I may be wrong as most are different. I think the Attending handles people on medical and recovery units.
      Like if you get admitted for lets say for a really bad stomach virus where you can't function without a host of medication and bed ridden for a week, you would be placed on a medical floor where nurses, cna's, interns, residents and attendings all have a role in tending to you. Where I work, surgery is almost separate. Like they are their own team who consult with your main caring doctors to carry out their surgery and then the attending takes over.

    This video, this video was downloaded on my phone back in 2018 when I was out in the desert in Turkey for a whole month visiting family. I was just 17 and about to fly out ot the US after a month to be an exchange student and taking a gap year from school in Sweden. I had zero clue of what I wanted to do and I spent so much time pondering about my future during that month. But I had this vlog on my phone and watched it probably a hundred times. Something went off inside of me and I felt like I had a calling. For the remaining three years of school I studied harder than I've ever done and took so many leaps of faith just to try have a chance at medical school. There's just something about having a dream and finding comfort in that little corner of your mind that has something to look forward to and that gives you meaning. Now i'm 23 and finished second year of medical school and on the journey. Living that dream. I always had my mind on orthopedic surgery and hopefully I will match in to that residency in a few years.

    I'm stuck as an undergraduate. I wanted to become a doctor, but more specifically a surgeon (not sure what specialty). Like a lot of people, I'd assume, I want to get into medicine to help people, like joining Médecins Sans Frontières etc, so that I can help people in other nations who die because they will never have access to the simple operations they need. I'm currently a physics undergrad, and I'm in this field just for learning sake, and sometimes I lose all motivation to study. Sometimes I want to drop out and do what I was going to do right after high school, and that was enlisting in the Navy as a hospital corpsmen. I was actually supposed to ship out September of 2017, but decided to give school a try since it was paid for with grants and stuff, so I started as an engineering student. I didn't enjoy that.

    Such sleep deprivation is dangerous- reckless really,-and the fault of the employer. Driving sleep-deprived is arguably worse than DUI. So why do we accept medical treatment by doctors that haven’t slept in over 30 hours? Unacceptable. They shouldn’t be permitted to work over 16 hours or so per day.

      champy1210 I am sure they are able to take a few naps to catch up on sleep during the night if they don't have calls and patients to be seen.

      champy1210 These doctors have been trained to know if they are being pushed to far. If they feel they are a danger to their patients they will solve that problem. If people were worried about their doctors judgment they would never see doctors and our population would decrease

      I agree, I recently started watching violin MD, she’s a third year resident and even when they get to go to sleep they can get woken up at any time.

      LadyHmong he even says in the video that he has a lot of shifts where he works 30 hours straight. So no naps.

    I don't understand why you're being made/allowed to work 30 hour shifts as a surgeon, that is *extremely* dangerous. I can't even think properly after a 12 hour shift, never mind 30 hours. So much research has been done on this. I'm still baffled as to how they expect you to do your best while working a 30 hour shift. 24 hours should be the limit with mandatory rest the next day.
