A Day in the Life of an Internal Medicine Resident Doctor | VLOG 01

- Days can just fly by when you are working. The clash and clamor of humanity is ever so endless. I am starting my medicine month today and have several on call shifts throughout the month. I tried to be productive, but also fit in some time for fun and relaxation.
For anyone who is new, I am a second year internal medicine resident. I started this channel to document and share my experiences throughout residency as I know it will fly by before I know it. And hoping to help others along the way.
I am looking forward to making daily resident doctor vlogs and showing you what my life looks like! I am hoping this reaches anyone who is also taking this journey or is just interested in what the life of a resident physician is like.

Glad to hear :) stay tuned for more content!
Awesome video!!
Thank you! :)
Nice vlog.. I am a 3rd year med student and I love IM
Hi, can a nigerian come in to do residency abroad after finishing Med school here in Nigeria.
Great video man new subscriber here
Thanks for the sub!
😍
Would be awesome to have a video how and what you study in residency (not that much info or good tips out there...)
Will do!
Amazing & pleasant vlog, looking forward for more!
How much is the rent bro.. The house looks good♥️
Thank you! $2600 per month
@@theDOchronicles that's near a monthly payment of a resident doctor.
What are your side hustles?!
@@brolykarrar4103 my wife and I split the rent haha. I’ve tried many side hustles though, nothing sustainable yet.
@@theDOchronicles $2600.00 damn. May much success be upon you 💰
I find it soooo odd when people brush teeth before breakfast haha. Doesn't that coffee taste terrible and you have to brush again straight after? All the questionssss
Haha I get that. But, I don’t really have another option because I don’t eat breakfast on work days. I just grab a coffee and go
@@theDOchroniclesNo breakfast is also fascinating. I have to have my overnight oats haha.
Soon-to-be dentist here. You shouldn't brush your teeth after you drink coffee.
how old were you for the internal medicine doctor, if you don't mind me asking.
28
Best of luck ❤️
What year were you when you made this video? I've read that Residents don't make a lot of money during residency, especially when you take all the necessary monthly expenses into account. Do you or any other mates have roommates?
Him and his wife split the rent. She’s a cardiothoracic surgeon! I don’t think he’s a resident now cuz this was 2 years ago!
This was during my 2nd year of residency. I’m now a Hospitalist, just crossed the one year mark :)
It's very hard 😭😭😭
@The DO Chronicles how are the medical hierarchy relationships? Do attendings treat residents with respect? Or are they mean/ harsh/ treat them poorly?
Thank you for your videos! I find them really helpful! 💯😁
From my personal experience, the hierarchal relationships are great. Attendings treat residents with respect and do lots of teaching, especially when you ask questions. No experiences with them treating any of us poorly.
Nice! Where are you located?
Southern California
You should have mentioned the time for each part of that video.
Good idea, I will next time
thats a nice ass house/car for a resident
Thanks! My wife and I split the rent, only way we can afford it haha. And my car is salvaged. Got it for just $12k off of Craigslist. Have a friend mechanic who inspected it thoroughly and it only had history of cosmetic damage. I don’t really care about resale value. I rather drive a car I love and drive it to the ground. There are so many basic sedans that cost double this sooo
@@theDOchronicles that’s awesome
May I ask what is your specialty?
Internal Medicine
I need that coffee machine 😂
Great video! Future MD here
Which book is used here as a cardio review? Does it Harrison's medicine?
Nice apartment!
All the best
Best of luck❤️
Hope you make more vedios about residency in us 🥰🥰
That's a nice apartment for a resident? Haha awesome vid man
Haha thanks! It’s a nice townhome that my wife and I split rent on, otherwise would definitely not be able to afford it
Ok! And now more videos like this one ☝️ I love it
Glad you enjoyed, more to come soon!
Nice video. Where are you working…
Southern California
Your room is simplistic yet nicely decorated!
Thank you! 😊
Cute 🥰
Which medical school did u go?
WesternU
What kind of books would you recommend for intern year?
Honestly, I never had time to read any books. Harrison’s is obviously the core of IM, but way too dense. My program also gave us the MKSAP 18 & 19 books for free. I used those based on the rotation I was on. Otherwise, mainly used Qbanks like UWorld for ABIM
Your place looks pleasant. What do you do if it's an holiday?
I get about 4 weeks off total in the whole year. They are all spread apart. We try to go on little vacations during my weeks off. We love going to Pismo Beach!
what state do you live? there were some very beautiful moments in the video.
Southern California
I'm a new medical student, I want some advice
Sure thing, what are your questions
@@theDOchronicles How can I study for long hours?
@@medicinemydream9908 Try using the Pomodoro method to break up marathon study days. You need breaks throughout the day for longevity’s sake
peeped the muji pen
Best pen ever! Haha it’s the only pen I use
HOW OFTEn do you do Night shifts?
On medicine months, I have a call shift every 4th day. Which is either 9am-10pm or 3pm-9am. You switch off between those two shifts with the other senior resident.
The irony of a future health care professional who chooses non healthy nutrition options filled with processed sugar.
Lol chill out man, it’s just a Gatorade
