I love surgery for some reason. I'm a freshman in High school. I've been around a lot of primary care physicians, but primary care never seems to interest me as a career. When a family member was having surgery, I was more engaged with the clinicians on the service. If I chose to be a surgeon what will that say about me?
This is so interesting! Greys anatomy doesn’t really give recognition to other positions, and makes surgeons look like they do every single thing. Thanks for the vid!
Anesthesiologists barely make an appearance in Grey's Anatomy haha. Last episode I watched featured a surgeon hanging a bag of blood in the OR, which would literally never happen lol
As a surgical tech I think it’s also important for people to know that the “surgical nurse” isn’t all to common as it’s the certified surgical technologist(CST) who does this. No one really knows who we are but we do so much in co-op with the surgical team
Surg techs are usually the one scrubbed in to assist the surgeon. Some hospitals have RNs as the scrub. I have been the scrub nurse and have been the circulating nurse working with techs. They do a great job. They are highly trained and very valuable.
Surgery does but from the Anesthesiologist perspective. I love how anesthesia works and what needs to be done to keep the patient sleep, breathing, and when to wake them. Hoping to go to med school one day.
Can you please do a video about dental school vs medical school? It would be highly helpful for me to decide which one is the best for me, and it would helpful towards my friends who need some advice too.
Hey could you please tell me some enjoyable things about doing surgery, I'm really interested in becoming a surgeon but I'm not sure if I'd be happy so if you gave me a new perspective I'd really appreciate it
Gotta say, in the operating room where I work, the anesthesiologists are considered the ‘first in command’. The surgeon may have recruited the patient for surgery but it’s the anesthesiologist that gives the final go ahead that the patient is healthy/stable enough to be operated on at this time; at least for elective surgeries. Also for urgent/emergency surgeries, I’ve seen many cases where the patient is a medical trainwreck and way too unstable to be done at a regular mid-sized hospital, so the anesthesiologist makes the call to ship them to a larger centre with better support for critical patients. Just my observations from being a circulating nurse in the O.R. :)
That is correct Ashlee, the physician anesthesiologists (medical doctor/doctor of osteopathic) is first in command and have the final say if the surgery can proceed or surgery need to be cancel. There are two teams: Surgical Team & Anesthesia Team
Your information is not totally correct or current. The captain of the ship idea has been debunked for decades. Everyone in the room that has a professional license is responsible for their areas of responsibility. As for surgeons personality most are really nice and descent people. However about twenty percent need to be taken out back of the building and taught manners with a 2x4. Anesthesia is extremely important but you are leading people to believe that anesthesiologist are the only game in town,in reality 65to70% of the anesthetics administered in the U.S. are given by Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetists.CRNA’s have a higher safety record than anesthesiologists do! I spent 54 years in the OR, 6 years as a nurse and 48 years as a CRNA,8 different states, I wouldn’t trade it for anything! S.E.L. CRNA
Anesthesiology is not about keeping the patient comfortable. Lets be real now. Anesthesiology is about: 1. Keeping the patient alive by essentially putting them in an artificially life-less/vegetative/comatose state 2. Keeping the surgeon comfortable by enabling virtually all operations to actually be done without killing the patient. Look up the history of surgery and anesthesiology. Before anesthesia was successfully implemented surgery basically meant for a patient that he is going to die,if not during, then from the after effects of surgery. Also surgery was essentially butchering and nothing like the elegance you see today, a leg amputation for example had to be finished within under 30 seconds, otherwise the patient would be dead. Surgeons way too often simply do not understand how privileged they are, all due to the anesthesiologists.
If possible, Would you be able to make a video for Anesthesiology with brief description? it would be highly helpful for students like me going for Anesthesiology.
I am a pharmacy intern work in the OR pharmacy. I hand medications to CRNA, accept returns of the meds, compound IV medications, and deliver meds to PACU and Pre OP. The pharmacist verifies the order and checks everything I do. Great video!
PA student here. The OR is an intriguing and unique experience that offers a world of nuances that requires adaptation. Once you get the hang of it, it's an extremely rewarding and fun time.
Anesthesiology for the win!!!!! Please Dr Jubbal, can you make an exclusive "so you want to be an anesthesiologist" (second year anesthesia and intensive care resident here)
Anesthesiologist don't just make patient go to sleep or make them comfortable.... They give perioperative intensive care...They look into and diagnose other disease the patient may have, accordingly formulate plan for anesthesia, and expect and manage complications during surgery, save patients at times....
Just an FYI what you call scrub nurses aren't nurses we're scrub techs or surgical technologists. We don't go to nursing school nor do we study nursing philosophy when it comes to medicine.
Luke shut up please that’s a term that most doctors and rn calls surgical technologist just like they call them or techs they know we aren’t nurses okay stop being so anal 😂
Nowadays it is mostly surgical technologists who scrub, but it didn't used to be that way. Nurses used to be trained to circulate and scrub, and surgical technologists were less common. There are still lots of nurses in the OR who can do both, though hospitals seem less inclined to train nurses to scrub nowadays since they can pay surgical technologists less money to do the same job.
3:00 uhh i can barely remember a time when the surgeon stays in the room (let alone by the pt's side) before extubation, lots yeet even before the first stitch lol
For us in Latvia- we have the surgeons, the anesthesiologist, the ansetshetic nurse (gives the medication, do commands that the anesthesiologist gives them), scrub nurse and then nurses assistant(orderly I think) which I do at my hospital (Im also a medical student)- and my job is basically what the Circulating nurse does- open sterile packages, getting instruments that are needed in surgery, open needles, give NaCl , do XRays, attach all the cords( coagulation, laparascopic equipment, Liga Sure, USG etc) I also transport the patient in and out of the OR and I also clean after surgery. But we are not nurses and sometimes I feel our work is not noticed enough :(
I want to be the Surgical First Assist! I am a Certified Sterile Processing Tech and working on becoming a Certified Surgical Technologist now. After that I will work on becoming a CSA and off to a First Assist! 😊
I am a self employed first assistant. Have been for many years. But now,..I want a career change OUT of medicine! I'm so sick and tired of not being paid by the insurance companies. You did a great move out of this field.
Can you make a video about all the topics that concern a female surgeon? Like the possibility of becoming a surgeon as a female, what it takes to prove yourself etc...
Great video and very informative to get an idea of the OR team. However a few additional essential members are missing from what I’ve observed personally that should be recognized as well. Just wanted to share since some are great entry level positions to get a feel of the OR as well before grad/med school. The anesthesia tech assisting the Anesthesiologist and CRNA or CAA during anesthesia perioperative care. Depending on the hospital, the CRNA/CAA will remain in place of the Anesthesiologist for majority (90%) of the surgery, while the Anesthesiologist is typically present for intubation/extubation, but again all Hosp vary. The surgical/OR tech actually handles the sterile tools/instruments before/during the operations, and is responsible with counting w/ scrub nurse before and after the procedures. The scrub nurse usually gets the larger assisting instruments if needed, and usually has the medications prepared for surgeons and places catheters in on the OR table after intubation. Also, perfusionist are present in cardiac surgeries. Lastly, I can’t remember the name of title, but there are those responsible for cleaning/restocking/transporting patients/setting up the OR rooms. The OR is a definitely a collective team effort and such an enjoyable experience.
Yup I am 24 and work the job of the last things you mention get no credit and overworked and kinda looked down on that’s why I only work per diem I’m finishing my pre reqs
Yes! The people transporting the patients I believe are called porters, the operating room aide helps clean and sterilize the operating room itself and then outside of that there are sterilization technicians. Another one he forgot in this video is the imaging department. X-ray techs (in some places called radiographers) use x-ray via fluorography to image what's going on inside the patient during less invasive procedures. So basically anything short of an open heart surgery, you'd need an x-ray tech. Heck, even for just intubating the patient, depending on the type of tube, they'll call x-ray in for that too because it is possible to put the tube in too far and collapse a lung.
Enjoyed the video, but can you change the scrub nurse to Certified Surgical Technologist? A surgical technologist is trained and specializes in the OR environment and in surgical procedures and all that relates to the OR. A nurse does not have the same training. Also a video covering the specialty and role of a Certified Surgical Technologist would be appreciated as well.
Awesome video! Can you do a video on the different types of surgeons (General surgeon, ENT, Orthopedic, Neurosurgeon) and what the training is like for each one?
What fascinates me the most is the coordination and teamwork. They all work so seamlessly together, it's very VERY impressive. It's so hard to have people work as a team, I can't even imagine how stressful it must be in a surgical setting
HI Mr. Jubbal. I am a sophomore in high school. I want to pursue a career in medicine as a physician. My parents are telling me to do research an have a plan on how I am supposed to get into college, medical school, and residency. I have a question for you about what premed major I should do. My father is a nuclear medicine technician and he told me I should do a pre-med major in nursing and get a BSN. He also says I should take summer classes in college so I could get the classes needed for medical school. He tell me that it is a good back up for if i don't get into medical school the first time. I could work as a nurse and resubmit my application to medical school the next year. My father says it will make my application to medical school stand out for it unique from other medical school applicants. Who mostly take a pre med major in Biology. I watched your video of what is the best pre med major. I considered doing a pre med majors in neurology, bu after hearing what my father said I want to have your opinion. Also is I hear people and my parents say that if you take AP and Dual enrollment classes in Biology, chemistry and other subjects in high school. It could reduce the time of getting a pre med majors from 4 years to 3 years. Is it true facts. Also I want to thank you for all the video you make for it help me plan out and prepare myself for what I am going to do after I finish High school. Also could you do a video on radiologists and anesthesiologists. Greeting from Riverside, California.
He has a video on what major you should be. To save you the trouble, he basically says do what you actually want to do. And while that sounds cliche, med schools don’t care about what major you are, so long as you complete the prerequisite classes. Any differences in admissions based on different majors is also explained in that video. Edit: Also, you should try really hard to get in the first time, and don’t just think, “Eh, I’ll just try again next year if I don’t get in.” The whole process is very long, boring, tedious, and expensive. What’s even more important than any of that is the fact that it decreases your chances of getting admitted when you reapply, as your application is marked as “re-applicant.” You will then need to re-write all of your essays; explaining how you are a new and improved applicant from last year.
There is so much more to the medical field than being o doctor or a nurse!!! You could really do well for yourself by doing some research? Volunteer to help some researchers to do something that you like? UC Riverside, UC San Diego & UC Irvine are very close to you. Check them out. Some labs & research groups have open doors for visitors? Get involved in the real thing. Don’t just get pigeonholed into something you might not be happy? Also your dad gives you a very reasonable option. There is lots of wisdom in what he is saying!!!
As a medical student, the advice I got about majoring in nursing is that it won't benefit you. It will make you stand out but in a bad way. Nursing and medicine are two different careers in the healthcare field. Nursing shouldn't be thought of as a backup to medicine and be respected in its own right. It'll be a waste of the nursing department's time to be training someone who wants to become a doctor. Nursing is different from other college majors because it pretty much means you've devoted yourself to become a nurse. Medical schools will think you have commitment problems if you apply to medical school with a nursing degree and not work as a nurse for 4-5 years.
The guy who made this video has no idea what he's talking about... As someone who has actually worked in a hospital, I can tell you that the ANESTHESIOLOGIST is "the Captain of the Ship"...NOT the surgeon.
Most operating rooms have CRNA’s in the anesthesia role and most have surgical technologists in the role of a scrub nurse. The only RN in the room is the circulating RN.
Yes for pathologist, no for chemist or forensic specialist (however pathologists can work in forensic pathology, so that route would require medical school and residency after that)
Nurse Anesthetists (CRNA)/Anesthesiologist Assistants (CAA) is a good option for both professions who would like to go into surgery as an advanced practice anesthesia provider. of the anesthesia care team model.
As a scrub, I kind of think the description of what we do was a bit off. Yes, I’ll pass instruments and set up the case, but often, I’m also assisting, retracting, and a host of other things. In my role as a rep, I spend most of my time with the scrub helping set up and in the basement doing paperwork. Luckily, the surgeon I work with in that capacity has way more knowledge about the product than I do! Every role is important and fills a niche that others are unable to fill. I love the OR. The days are long and can be crazy, but it really is my happy place.
I would like to see something more about Medcial Tech or Biomedical engineering? Are they also in operating room at some casses? Like implanting mechanical hearth? Thanks a lot!
So interestingly enough, when you're comparing the Ologist to the Surgeon, let me ask you this question: When stuff really hits the fan, where does the entire OR look to? That's right! The Anesthesiologist. You got it backwards in your video. Surgeon is in charge when everything is going just fine and nothing is going wrong (probably because of a baller anesthetic tbh). Anesthesia is really captain of the ship.
Hey dr.jubbal ...i'm an indian fan ...and i want to become an opthalmologist by studying in america ..i wanna know that how many hours a day does a medical resident work?
80-100 hours a week. Obviously that’s the average though. I’ve heard of some surgeons working over 100 hours, and some only work 50-60 some days. Depends on the specialty you’re in, and depends what year of residency you’re in
This is extremely helpful. I shadowed in thoracic surgery for a few weeks back in February and it would have been helpful to know this beforehand. I didn’t know exactly what the terminology was for much of this but I can recall everyone doing the different tasks now. Thank you so much!

Can you do video about bs md program
Can you d” so you want to be general surgeon”
ortho surgeon like my dad or plastic like u
This is so interesting! Greys anatomy doesn’t really give recognition to other positions, and makes surgeons look like they do every single thing. Thanks for the vid!
the surgeon is the quarterback but the quarterback does not play alone.
Anesthesiologists barely make an appearance in Grey's Anatomy haha. Last episode I watched featured a surgeon hanging a bag of blood in the OR, which would literally never happen lol
Max Feinstein, MD yeah and if they do show the anesthesiologist, all they’re doing is reading a newspaper...
Watch Dr.romantic
@@user-qm1ru8ro3z eating sandwiches, sleeping, planning vacation......seen it all😂
Cantankerous means bad-tempered, argumentative, and uncooperative. I googled the definition for all of us cuz I know 99.9% of us don’t know
His vocab is impressive
I knew because I’ve watched Pollyanna :)
In my country wen we say cantankerous it means the person loves a story or would pick a fight or argument for no reason.
Bruh i have a nigeran mom, of course ik what cantankerous means🙄🙄
Hey thanks....it really helped...thanks for your time and effort.....
Can you do “So you Want to Be An Anesthesiologists”? Please?
Bruh I’m in high school and I’m more motivated than I’ve ever been because I have the goal to be an anesthesiologist I’m a junior btw
Yes plz
Sansei: Same I’m a junior as well and I have plans to become one all the way to when I get out of residency

Can you please do a “So you want to be a psychiatrist” episode
Oh yeas🙏
So the surgeon gets all the glamour like a quarterback on a football team but the surgeon needs the other team members just like the quarterback does.
As a surgical tech I think it’s also important for people to know that the “surgical nurse” isn’t all to common as it’s the certified surgical technologist(CST) who does this. No one really knows who we are but we do so much in co-op with the surgical team

Surg techs are usually the one scrubbed in to assist the surgeon. Some hospitals have RNs as the scrub. I have been the scrub nurse and have been the circulating nurse working with techs. They do a great job. They are highly trained and very valuable.
I'm a RN, but I scrubbed and assisted too. I loved all of it!
it’s usually a tech i’ve hardly seen nurses scrub unless a tech isn’t available
@@KyleeErvin yeah, I work with a few nurses who scrub when we’re short staffed but CST’s make the OR run smoothly!
Surgery does but from the Anesthesiologist perspective. I love how anesthesia works and what needs to be done to keep the patient sleep, breathing, and when to wake them. Hoping to go to med school one day.
Me too
You can do it!
Me too!
Agreed We Might be peers Or competitors one day.
It's called weed
Please do “so you want to be an anesthesiologist “ video
I'm First year medical student got motivated by your videos 😉 thanks
Good luck!! I just graduated high school... how’s the first year?????!! I’m anxious already for normal college....
Can you please do a video about dental school vs medical school? It would be highly helpful for me to decide which one is the best for me, and it would helpful towards my friends who need some advice too.
I never though I could enjoy surgery before doing my surgical intership, now it’s all i can think about. I am obsessed.
Hey could you please tell me some enjoyable things about doing surgery, I'm really interested in becoming a surgeon but I'm not sure if I'd be happy so if you gave me a new perspective I'd really appreciate it

And I also know that the Anesthesiologist are the one who decides whether to open the OR or not 😅
My first dream is to become a surgeon and now an anesthesiologist ☺️ but I can't so I choose perioperative nurse
You're correct. If the surgeon is the qb, the the MDA would be the coach.
That is correct Ashlee, the physician anesthesiologists (medical doctor/doctor of osteopathic) is first in command and have the final say if the surgery can proceed or surgery need to be cancel.
There are two teams:
Surgical Team & Anesthesia Team

I just loved the way you went over it all and explained it all
Can you PLEASE do a “so you want to be a radiology” video!!!!? Plsssss there is not too much info on radiology in your channel
And also about future of radiology...
Your here too! Are you stalking me???
The words you will hear the most during a surgery are x ray/picture/image.
I’d recommend Dr Cellini. He has multiple videos on the day in the life of a radiology residency
yes about how machine learning will affect radiology
kevin: Anesthesiologists are second in command"
Me, An anesthesiologist: "And I took that personally...😑
Anyways, great video😄
What about the CRNA? The anesthesiologist typically only there at the beginning & only sometimes at the end.
It's so helpful knowing who else you'll work with
Do a vid for anesthesiologists
Anesthesiologist don't take orders from the lead surgeon . They will have to make their own call and decide for themselves .
I am a pharmacy intern work in the OR pharmacy. I hand medications to CRNA, accept returns of the meds, compound IV medications, and deliver meds to PACU and Pre OP. The pharmacist verifies the order and checks everything I do. Great video!

Hello Melissainchild, How is everything over there?
Just an FYI what you call scrub nurses aren't nurses we're scrub techs or surgical technologists. We don't go to nursing school nor do we study nursing philosophy when it comes to medicine.
Luke shut up please that’s a term that most doctors and rn calls surgical technologist just like they call them or techs they know we aren’t nurses okay stop being so anal 😂
Thank you, as a person that doesn’t know much on the medical field yet I was confused by the wording lol
Some RNs scrub. I scrubbed, assisted and circulated. It kept things different.
Nowadays it is mostly surgical technologists who scrub, but it didn't used to be that way. Nurses used to be trained to circulate and scrub, and surgical technologists were less common. There are still lots of nurses in the OR who can do both, though hospitals seem less inclined to train nurses to scrub nowadays since they can pay surgical technologists less money to do the same job.

If they have a PA, the surgeon leaves after the muscle/fascia is closed.
Please do so you wanna be a dermatologist
Agreed
definitely!
It coming soon, I'm excited for that

"So you want to be an ENT surgeon " pleeeeeeeeease
Thanks for this video! Hoy do you do the animations? Can you help me?
Enjoyed the video, but can you change the scrub nurse to Certified Surgical Technologist? A surgical technologist is trained and specializes in the OR environment and in surgical procedures and all that relates to the OR. A nurse does not have the same training. Also a video covering the specialty and role of a Certified Surgical Technologist would be appreciated as well.
Awesome video! Can you do a video on the different types of surgeons (General surgeon, ENT, Orthopedic, Neurosurgeon) and what the training is like for each one?
This is a great idea for a video! I've never seen the training for all the different surgical specialties concisely described
What fascinates me the most is the coordination and teamwork. They all work so seamlessly together, it's very VERY impressive. It's so hard to have people work as a team, I can't even imagine how stressful it must be in a surgical setting
HI Mr. Jubbal.
I am a sophomore in high school. I want to pursue a career in medicine as a physician. My parents are telling me to do research an have a plan on how I am supposed to get into college, medical school, and residency. I have a question for you about what premed major I should do. My father is a nuclear medicine technician and he told me I should do a pre-med major in nursing and get a BSN. He also says I should take summer classes in college so I could get the classes needed for medical school. He tell me that it is a good back up for if i don't get into medical school the first time. I could work as a nurse and resubmit my application to medical school the next year. My father says it will make my application to medical school stand out for it unique from other medical school applicants. Who mostly take a pre med major in Biology. I watched your video of what is the best pre med major. I considered doing a pre med majors in neurology, bu after hearing what my father said I want to have your opinion. Also is I hear people and my parents say that if you take AP and Dual enrollment classes in Biology, chemistry and other subjects in high school. It could reduce the time of getting a pre med majors from 4 years to 3 years. Is it true facts. Also I want to thank you for all the video you make for it help me plan out and prepare myself for what I am going to do after I finish High school. Also could you do a video on radiologists and anesthesiologists. Greeting from Riverside, California.
He has a video on what major you should be. To save you the trouble, he basically says do what you actually want to do. And while that sounds cliche, med schools don’t care about what major you are, so long as you complete the prerequisite classes. Any differences in admissions based on different majors is also explained in that video.
Edit: Also, you should try really hard to get in the first time, and don’t just think, “Eh, I’ll just try again next year if I don’t get in.” The whole process is very long, boring, tedious, and expensive. What’s even more important than any of that is the fact that it decreases your chances of getting admitted when you reapply, as your application is marked as “re-applicant.” You will then need to re-write all of your essays; explaining how you are a new and improved applicant from last year.
Wow
Good luck 🍀👍🏻
You’ll be a great physician in future!
There is so much more to the medical field than being o doctor or a nurse!!!
You could really do well for yourself by doing some research? Volunteer to help some researchers to do something that you like?
UC Riverside, UC San Diego & UC Irvine are very close to you. Check them out. Some labs & research groups have open doors for visitors? Get involved in the real thing. Don’t just get pigeonholed into something you might not be happy?
Also your dad gives you a very reasonable option. There is lots of wisdom in what he is saying!!!
your father gave you sound advice! it would not be wrong to follow his advice if you would like to take nursing
As a medical student, the advice I got about majoring in nursing is that it won't benefit you. It will make you stand out but in a bad way. Nursing and medicine are two different careers in the healthcare field. Nursing shouldn't be thought of as a backup to medicine and be respected in its own right. It'll be a waste of the nursing department's time to be training someone who wants to become a doctor. Nursing is different from other college majors because it pretty much means you've devoted yourself to become a nurse. Medical schools will think you have commitment problems if you apply to medical school with a nursing degree and not work as a nurse for 4-5 years.
How am I this early...
Btw I like your vids
Please do, so you want to be a gastroenterologist or day in a life of a gastroenterologist.
The guy who made this video has no idea what he's talking about... As someone who has actually worked in a hospital, I can tell you that the ANESTHESIOLOGIST is "the Captain of the Ship"...NOT the surgeon.
I watched this to prepare for my upcoming lung surgery. It’s good to know who will be in the room and what their roles are. Thanks for the info!
Hope all went well with your surgery!
Most operating rooms have CRNA’s in the anesthesia role and most have surgical technologists in the role of a scrub nurse. The only RN in the room is the circulating RN.
Plus a C-arm tech for ortho cases.
This is why I don't want to be a surgeon. Having a patient under *YOUR* scalpel is my great fear, what if I fucked up?
I have a question, do you need to go to med school for the following subjects:
Forensic specialist
Pathologist
Chemist
Yes for pathologist, no for chemist or forensic specialist (however pathologists can work in forensic pathology, so that route would require medical school and residency after that)
This was really informative, I always wanted to work in the OR but I never did it
And Anesthesiologist Assistants!
You missed the hospitals pre-admit tests and information needed to know before surgery
Can you do a video for nurse anesthetists? They seem like a good option for those who want to go into surgery, but don’t want to be working as much.
Nurse Anesthetists (CRNA)/Anesthesiologist Assistants (CAA) is a good option for both professions who would like to go into surgery as an advanced practice anesthesia provider. of the anesthesia care team model.
Anesthesiologist is captain of their own ship anesthesiology and surgeon is captain of their ship surgery..
I want to be a scrub nurse
Hopefully I get matched to that unit!! 🙏🏾🙏🏾
“so you want to be a neonatalogist?” pleaseee
Yasssss I've been commenting for months still no video.
Absolutely love this video. This was very reminiscent of my first time shadowing :D
As a scrub, I kind of think the description of what we do was a bit off. Yes, I’ll pass instruments and set up the case, but often, I’m also assisting, retracting, and a host of other things.
In my role as a rep, I spend most of my time with the scrub helping set up and in the basement doing paperwork. Luckily, the surgeon I work with in that capacity has way more knowledge about the product than I do!
Every role is important and fills a niche that others are unable to fill.
I love the OR. The days are long and can be crazy, but it really is my happy place.
I would like to see something more about Medcial Tech or Biomedical engineering? Are they also in operating room at some casses? Like implanting mechanical hearth? Thanks a lot!
Wheres the anesthesia tech?
Good call!
So interestingly enough, when you're comparing the Ologist to the Surgeon, let me ask you this question: When stuff really hits the fan, where does the entire OR look to? That's right! The Anesthesiologist. You got it backwards in your video. Surgeon is in charge when everything is going just fine and nothing is going wrong (probably because of a baller anesthetic tbh). Anesthesia is really captain of the ship.
Hey dr.jubbal ...i'm an indian fan ...and i want to become an opthalmologist by studying in america ..i wanna know that how many hours a day does a medical resident work?
80-100 hours a week. Obviously that’s the average though. I’ve heard of some surgeons working over 100 hours, and some only work 50-60 some days. Depends on the specialty you’re in, and depends what year of residency you’re in
This is excellent!
Your videos Are awesome 😎
Please make "So do you want to be an Anesthesiologist" video. I really need to learn more about this one.
Can you please do “So you want to be a Physician Assistant”
how many future doctors are here??
If possible can you please do a video about internal medicine? It would be really helpful!
Since i first watched this video ive become a surgical tech, love the videos!
This is extremely helpful. I shadowed in thoracic surgery for a few weeks back in February and it would have been helpful to know this beforehand. I didn’t know exactly what the terminology was for much of this but I can recall everyone doing the different tasks now. Thank you so much!
How did you get to shadow a thoracic surgeon?
Thanks for remembering the rad techs. =P
Just commenting for the algorithm 💜
