_But where is his bicycle helmet?_
We have ask Dr glaucamflacan😂🤣
2:47 The greatest line: "4-minute commute." Half the west coast has a 90 minute commute.
I felt that line coming early on when it said he was still home eating breakfast at 0530. I lived in Cincy and worked at UC (occasionally with Dr. I). Traffic in Cincinnati is SUPER unpredictable and hard to navigate around so you have to plan ahead if you can’t be late every once in awhile. Most days it takes about 20 minutes for me to get to UC medical center but just one wreck can make it an hour plus because there’s no where to go. Very frustrating 😤
I’ve always had a strong admiration for folks that actually make a plate and eat at the table for a meal… even if they’re alone. I think it’s about consistency. It shows discipline and structure.
I dunno. Always stuck out to me. Good man, should be very proud of himself.
Pretty low standards
Low standards, for what, admiration?
Yeah. Silly me, admiring somebody who takes the time to prepare a meal every morning and actually sit and eat it instead, despite working 80-100 hours a week. Low standards to admire a physician practicing emergency medicine at such a young age.
What have you accomplished with your life? Dumbass comments on TH-cam videos? Bravo.
@@gnarlynicholasreviews eh, I'm a resident in Australia and most of my colleagues and I make our own breakfasts... Sorry I came off the way I did, didn't mean to
Where else would you eat it lmao

Very Informative. Provided us with a real day in the life of an ER Doctor. I hope to call myself a ER Doctor in the future. Bless the work you all do.
Same here!!
Except they left out all the drunks and combative psychiatric patients...
God bless you and good luck!
@@bettysmith4527need to go to Los Angeles and New York area hospitals to see lots and lots of unfortunate reality patients suffering in America. I agree though they sanitized this video so as not to scare away med students from accepting emergency medicine residency programs.
full respect to all doctors and nurses working hard especially now during the pandemic.
Thank you very much for your service to the public, especially now during the pandemic when the work is exhausting.
He's going to make one hell of a great attending!
As a medical graduate from india, I Love These Videos I learn more .
That you for all you do for your love please be safe to you nd all in the hospital
Awesome video. Congrats on your residency. Getting close to finishing. Again, congrats!!!!
I appreciated their hardwork. Also, I got motivated to study more in a physiotherapy field.
Wow! This is our level one trauma center! People from Clermont County, part of the greater Cincinnati area, come to this hospital for treatment!
I thought that said "clean the desk with COVID" until i heard the second part lol
Well done, Very informative I really enjoyed watching you.
Wow 4 minute commute that’s insanely long I wonder how many breaks he has to take on the way their 😂. I have a half hr commute . I met someone the other day with 1.5hr commute every day each way screw that. Thanks for everything u do man we appreciate u guys
Trust, when you're coming in super early in the morning, (5 to 7am) as a resident, those minutes spent not commuting = time you can be enjoying a coffee, catching up on the news, or an extra 20 minutes of sleep. The short commute is a huge part of improving quality of life.
@@jasonperlmutter7849 you got that right! In residency, I would suggest a driving time of 15 mins or less.
God bless you Stay safe ✝️🙏✝️🙏
I love these videos!
Question for the audience: Am I the only one here who if they eat breakfast too soon after waking up, it makes them nauseated? It's been like this my entire life. My wife can wake up and eat breakfast at 6 AM or 9 AM if she wants to, but I find breakfast to be repulsive because my stomach does not agree I'm hungry until around 11 AM when I've been up and at it for hours. The human body is so perplexing to me that I would like for it to make sense as to why I feel that way chronically.
That's literally just a matter of what you're used to. I used to be like you, and then I started each morning by eating just a little, and before I knew it, a little became more, and more, and more, till a full breakfast in the morning. Not only does our mind like structure, but our bodies do as well :-)
I am a nurse and work 12 hour shifts. Since we are taking care of patients, there is no guarantee that we’ll be able to take a breakfast break. Some people don’t get to eat until the late afternoon from clicking in at 7am. I don’t like eating super early either but at least for me, it’s better that than possibly starving until like 3pm lol
If didn’t have my lunch at 1:45pm I definitely wouldn’t eat in the morning. Your body goes into a small “starvation” fast while sleep, as you are using very little energy. It takes time for you to come out of this as you start burning energy.
Generally I like to drink smoothies, or even eat a bit of yogurt. Usually I'll pack a quick granola bar or trail mix to kind of snack on the by lunch I'm ready for a big meal since I'm a second shift worker. I eat lunch at 6 and usually dinner I don't eat a ton
It depends on if you are doing strenuous work. Do you have a remote job and wake up at 9? Then yea you won’t be hungry until 11, but if you’re waking up at 5am and running around and making life altering decisions then yea you need the fuel. It’s unrealistic to ask someone who has a hard day of work to fast because it’s healthier. It’s only possible for people who maybe don’t have jobs or for people who wake up later
8:48 Here Dr Irankunda is wearing a surgical 3M N95 respirator under his surgical mask. The red bands are the N95.
Thanks
Love this! 👏
You are so cute. God bless you.
Informative but would like to see 1) incoming patient assessments 2) SRU evals
I love seeing diverse representation in medicine! We need more African American doctors!! Love this!
Yeah I much prefer diversity over skill or passion
@@VWTurbo265 Hush. She didn’t say anything about choosing diversity over skill or passion 🙄 news flash, it’s possible to have diversity, skill AND passion in a profession. Bless your heart 😩
@@VWTurbo265 diverse people can have skill and passion too
@@CaliforniaDreaming26 meh, don’t acknowledge the Trumpster
@@VWTurbo265 s'racist
Thank god for the good folks that do this every day.
The narration doesn't need to be here, sorry to say.
This was good
That’s a nice house for a resident
Well it's Cincinnati not Manhattan in New York City.
So many of the hoops that doctor's and nurses to be have to jump through are unnecessary. We need well trained doctor's, but I don't understand what's accomplished by making them be sleep deprived unnecessarily. You will face sleep deprivation throughout your medical career, but it's almost like sleep deprivation is applauded in medical settings. That needs to change. Sleep deprivation isn't a virtue in and of itself. Caffeine isn't strong enough to help, you need industrial strength stimulants to be a doctor, and that's especially true for nurses. I wish people understood and appreciated how much work people in the medical field have to go through, some of it pointless or just out of ritual/tradition. I hope we can reform medicine and remove some of the antiquated practices that make doctoring/nursing unnecessarily difficult. We also need to use taxes to find college and learning expenses. So many people think that doctor's are just wealthy, but they usually have so much debt from college and otherwise related expenses so much so that you only truly take home about as much as the receptionist! That's why there's a doctor shortage.
Sorry for the long comment. I just feel passionately about making it easier (and cheaper) for people to become doctors and nurses. I want competent doctors, but so much of this stuff has gone too far. If you can heal the sick and have an abundance of knowledge and experience, all of this mentorship, fellowship, and residence stuff is excessive. At least it's excessive how it is done. Doctor's, nurses, and everyone who works in the medical field, including janitors, I must thank you for your work. My life has been saved by hospitals at least twice, and that isn't counting my hip replacement in 2017. Like firemen, medical professionals true heroes who endure abuse that they shouldn't be required to endure all because they want to help people.
I worked there 20 years ago, I see not much has changed, I started when "CCP" was coming out of the ground!!!, and then the upper floors that were added, and the new heliport built. I cut ties when the" health alliance" started and staffing cuts were causing concerns!!!
My dream life.
It’s how he made sure to hug and kiss his son before leaving for work. So sweet and thoughtful of him ❤
How does he get to go home at 3pm? I thought residents usually work 12+ hours a shift.
"Daddy's going to work now. Can I have a hug and kiss?"
somebody started cutting onions
What is SRU?
out by 15:07... What happens with the rest of the day?
Probably things like research work or studying topics discussed in that day's lectures, as well as just generally relaxing.
Nice crib.
I wish I could travel and learn medicine effectively. I need to be a good doctor ... I graduated 3 years ago...please advice me .. I wish I could start residency soon ... any advice????please help
New zealand has a shortage of doctors. Maybe look in to that country.
Ok So you need to match with a hospital that offers residency programs
Is he from Rwanda?
Maybe South Africa somewhere, or even NZ, very Americanized accent for sure.
He has to be, that last name is Rwandese -
@@Nepomniachtchi_Austin definitely Rwandese, I am too but I have an americanized accent
Why did I see someone not wearing a mask correctly?
Thanksfully I dont go to uc hospital last time I was there I was in the worst pain of my life they didn't do anything about it
If I was married to a Doctor I would be making him breakfast, sorry, just saying.
Unfortunately for him EM is a dying field, thank you for your cheap labor, fortunate to the rest of us.
A dying field? What do you mean by that?
@@madisonscott4533 there is currently an oversupply of emergency medicine doctors and many of them have a hard time finding a job they want unless they go super rural.
@@abddfa5234 then they should go to countries with no EM.. or where EM is starting
@@jinroh516 exactly! You are very correct.
@@abddfa5234 250k Minimum is "Cheap"? It's not dying, you just explained that yourself in this comment thread.
Wait are you not a psychiatry resident ? Did you just dictate what you saw other doctors doing ?? I highly doubt a first year resident especially a psych resident would be allowed to make any decision that to in the early months of residency !
something feels so wrong
What could possibly be wrong
hate the stupid captions so annoying can't turn it off
