I'm a wound nurse. We're chill because we're one of the few clinical specialists who mostly get to heal our patients, it's seriously satisfying work. Also neat dressings are satisfying. We're the types of people who like watching those videos of things being cleaned. We're allowed to use clays, maggots and honey and not get called a quack. Junior doctors can prescribe our stuff without worrying about doseage or frequency. I bring snacks. Sometimes you need a nice bit a cake after a morning of necrosis. Lemon drizzle cake helps take the smell away. It might just be me, but I'm deeply sarcastic, all the time.
Bahaha! This! I’m a wound care nurse too and we get RESULTS when it comes to healing wounds, especially chronic ones. We had a patient with a 26 year old wound (older than his kid) that we healed him after a few months.
Ok, a few things, I'm not a wound nurse, I'm an intern instead, we don't have any wound nurse here, instead all nurses are (for a lack of better word at this time from me ) "all-purpose nurses" and yes they do everything needed and more, I have to say they're really amazing people.
I did not even know this was a thing! What does your day look like, just going room to room looking at open wounds and ordering and using the goo, bandages, and apparatuses to help? Judging by Actor Intern are you perceived as the all-knowing expert on that subject, above doctors? So neat to hear of another specialist I have never heard of!
@@Squick99 I suppose that may happen in some hospitals, but I was an advanced wound care nurse in home and community care. Most people can still live their lives with chronic wounds. I would assess wounds, determine healing progression or stalling causes, choose courses of action and products to utilize, confer with plastics, or other doctors on VAC dressings or other specialized courses of action, plus more experienced wound care nurses on special cases, order supplies for each individual, train other nurses how to perform the dressing changes effectively, and also see every other type of client in their homes for assessments for services to regular nursing care and much more.
@@tanyad7894 me too, but very localised population within a unit. I assess, make a treatment plan, send the plan to linked professionals, request the prescription, plan and implement a short term solution to control the wound with ward stocked items. Once the prescribed items are received I'll implement the treatment plan. Then monitor and adjust as you go along to get the wound healed. I can order bloods for protein levels, if healing is poor. We can get the dieticians involved too. It's a really holistic way of practicing. It has to be when caring for the largest organ of the body.
I’m a geriatrician in a Danish hospital - I can’t believe how accurate this interaction plays out😂😂 I have been binging your videos, realising how communication at hospitals are the same, regardless of country.
Agreed, Karine! I’m a retired RN in the USA and have worked with the whole range of physicians. The lighthearted ones with killer senses of humor, to the (usually) older ones who would love us nurses to go fetch them coffee. (They wouldn’t DARE.) Patients tended to experience better outcomes with the former, because those doctors’ personalities were reflected in their bedside manner, as well!
"I'll take care of it kid" Okay that had me. My mom is a wound nurse and is totally the type of person you can throw whatever at and she got your back with a side of messing with you.
Wound nurses are next-level. I had a pt whose back was open so far you could literally stick your hand into it and the wound RN was like 'huh, yeah defintely spaghetti for lunch' as she packed said wound.
I shadowed a wound nurse once and she knew her shit and she knew every person on every floor, she ran that shit and wasn’t afraid to say what she needed, she was super encouraging and great :)
Heck yeah. Had one help me out with a nasty (thankfully not infected) abscess on my leg. At the hospital I attended, the wound care clinic had their own doctor on staff too-diagnosed me with varicose veins and got me all fitted out with compression stockings and everything.
Wound care nurses are a blessing!!! Had a botched surgery that wasn’t healing under the surgeons care. Went to wound care, they threw out all the surgeons care instructions and it started to heal 🙌🏾😭
Not in Hong Kong. Yeah, they'll get around to you eight hours later. Triage will have removed whatever you had on it to look and slapped some gauze on though.
Absolutely. New doctors often learn that nurses arent just their "medical maids". Ill never forget my first job as a nightshift nurse on a medical diagnostics floor. The new doctors who were very rude and condescending towards the nurses got "trained" when doing the "on call" rotation. When a patient needed something or there was a concern requiring the doctor be called, each nurse would call on one patient at a time to get new orders for that patient. 10-15 minutes later, the next patient would be called about (different nurse or sometimes the same one). This would go on sometimes for several hours. I was shocked to see how the nurses "trained" the doctors that a good nurse can be your best friend or your worst enemy. Doctors who were real coworkers and relied on the nurses to help them do their best care, were called the least amount possible, and information for all patients were provided one at a time, allowing the doctor to get as much rest as possible.
I'm an psychiatry resident and the nursing staff has saved my ass many times, not just in a professional manner but they were always encouraging and understanding which for an nervous wreck like me does wonders. Love to all my nurses out there 💖
In my experience as a nurse, doctors usually leave it up to the nurses to decide wound care orders. The only intervention doctors usually provide for wounds is doing an I&D or prescribing antibiotics for an infected wound. I've noticed that most good doctors will approve wound care orders written by nurses even if they haven't seen the patient, because they know the nurses know more about the patient and what is going on. Wound care is my favorite ❤️
I am an intern as well and I would see the wound myself if I have the chance, especially surgical wounds. A senior doc may put the order without seeing or knowing.. but there is a pressure on juniors to know and examine everything 🥹
Medical student on a wound care rotation right now, and the wound care nurses are amazing!! It's frankly shocking that we don't cover any of this in physician education (at least in the US), and I've really enjoyed getting to learn some of the basics!
@@him1517 so mean physician suicide rate is 0.034% and 0.017% of police officers commit suicide each year. Of course this varies by specialty, location, race, and a whole lot of other factors, but it’s apparent that physicians actually more than double police officers suicide rate.

There's a WOC nurse at my job who's been at the hospital for over 50 years. Everyone treats her with utmost respect. She's no nonsense and can be intimidating, but she's a wealth of knowledge and a huge asset to patients' care.
In our facility. If the patient has a pressure ulcer or any open wounds upon admission, it will automatically triggers Wound Care Consult when we document wounds. We just inform the doctor and most often the doctor will just approve what the wound care nurse's management. That's how independent nurses are.
Question, does that include simple/clean/small grade 2 pressure ulcers? Like, I'm totally out of my depth with anything more complicated than that, but seems like a waste of a specialist's time when the treatment is obvious (clean it, cover it, 2hrly positional turns and appropriate mattress/cushion).
@@orangew3988 as simple as it is, just having someone to give a sanity check and reassurance isn't a bad system. Thumbs up, you're doing good is not a bad thing, and it has the potential to catch issues or improve outcomes early on or prevent them entirely.
Unlike most doctors, Wound Ostomy Nurses get a TON of specialized education on how to treat different types of wounds using the latest high-tech dressings and treatments. They’re also experts in ostomy care. In fact, many surgeons will routinely have a wound-ostomy nurse see the patient and “weigh in” on where the ostomy should be placed on the body prior to the surgery (so that it heals well and is comfortable mfor the patient).
I have to give a big shout out to all of the nurses who had to deal with the nasty stuff coming out of my infected wounds. I'm still here because of you guys. Thank you so much!
Omg so relatable! As a psychiatrist that done my somatic residency in neurology, you can guess that my wound knowledge was about "wound". Wound nurse are mystical
“A ham sammie and a grammion” - 🤣🤣🤣!!! Thank goodness in my day we didn’t have to CALL anybody…we just put the order in! I was scared of my own shadow - I can’t imagine having to call anybody!!
I want to thank you. I know realize docs don’t know everything specially interns( who are the ones we page over night for wound care orders). I now try to recommend what very little I think could help.
I am hoping that in the near future collaborative effort will be the thing. And educational degree, specialties, years of studying or years of practice will not be a hindrance in case management suggestions and professionalism in the hospital setting.
Once again showing who’s really in charge up there apparently it’s the nurses. Thank goodness for good nurses. They do know what’s going on. But also thank you doctors I appreciate y’all saving my life I really do.
Sorry i know this is 2 years old but i just found out what this means lmao so i thought i’d share. I think it’s cause he’s an intern doctor which is a doctor fresh out of medical school and 1st year in residency. So that’s why he was sweating bullets lmao 😂
Love it! I think about how many things medical practitioners have to stay on top of, have to be able to communicate with each other. What a calling! Thankyou to all of them!
I had a wound on one toe that turned to sepsis. I had poorly controlled diabetes. I also had osteomyelitis and they wanted to amputate my toe. I went to a wound care team at another hospital that cleared my infection and saved my toe. They are unsung heroes in my book
The wound nurse messing with the doctor reminded me of when my dad worked at a mechanic shop. He told a new guy to get a part number N-O-T-1. The guy looked for an hour before they told him.
I was so happy to see your videos made it onto Dr. Mike’s channel! Now more people can appreciate what the rest of us die laughing at each day. Keep it up.
I have long term unhealing wounds. From nec fasc, unsuccessful graft and allergic reactions to a myriad of things. My wound nurses and homehealth nurse are amazing! Every time we get one healed they celebrate with me.. when it reappears 6 months later or a new one shows up they grieve with me.. the come to see me in the hospital even when the orders haven't come through for them to be there yet! I really do love them.
I have been practicing wound care for 21 years. This senario is right on. It takes a lot to make me squeamish. I am a PA (Physician Associate) specializing in wound care. I love it. It's really is rewarding to see the wound progress through to healing. I feel lucky and really enjoy this field as I get to debride and do other minor procedures on my own. I also take the time to really get to know my patients. I also can change treatment as I see fit. And I get to do my own dressings, which I also find satisfying. 😊
Isn’t that how it is run? Doctors do diagnosing and management of associated medical condition to facilitate the healing while the nurses take care of the wound care and others.
@@maryellsworth6670 It’s pattern recognition from the experiences talking. Not the training talking. You cannot possibly compare the skill sets between two different patient care points
I've had a super cool wound Nurse when I had my feeding tube. Feeding tube is gone now and she was my wound nurse throughout the whole painful process. I'm so glad she was so great!
This is how the wound care nurse was with me today 😂 and I'm a nurse.... They're just older than most of us newbies so they eat all the young of all the specialties. Nom nom
@@sportdognutritionholly9259 in real life 34 is obviously young but on my unit we can't tolerate bedside for more than 1-2 years. I'm 24 and I'm one of the older ones. Yikes
For the wound care nurses who see this...I love you guys, I spent a long time in the I.C.U. due to what I think you would call a severe run in with pseudomonas. I lost a decent amount of skin and a few pounds of muscle. My first redress took 8 hrs, with 2 wound vacs, lots of foam being being stuffed in holes and lots of tegaderm(among all the other crap you of course know). You can imagine I spent a lot of time with my wound care nurses, eventually learning how to help to try and distract myself and to try helping lighten the load. I learned a lot and enjoyed their sense of humor and company. I never wanted to be touched by a surgeon without a wound nurse present, they can be brutal. Anyway, not often do I see anything mentioning y'all(never actually) so I figured I'd say hi to those that may see this and thank you so very much for what you do and to my nurses specifically, although I assume it applies generally, for trying so hard not to add to the pain. It's a heck of a thing trying to keep something without skin protected and healing and it sucks that you guys have to inflict so much pain to do your job, I know it's not always easy and I get the impression you guys never have enough people for the incredibly difficult job you have to do, so know you have at least one person who always advocates for you if that matters. I spent a lot of time with them and although it was traumatic I miss them and was sad when I didn't get to see them anymore. What you guys do is so important and judging by the crap show it usually turned into when the wound vacs got messed up, usually over night, and you weren't there, not easy. It requires a lot of skill and dedication since everything kinda has to be figured out on the fly and often sort of Macgyvered with whatever was available, jeez I remember the piles of packaging covering every inch of my bed when each session was over(I'm guessing it was probably $5-10k every couple of days in supplies). Anyway sorry for the probable misspelling and inaccuracies, it's been over 6 years and I was on a lot of "stuff" at the time. Again, I really appreciate y'all for everything you did/do to try to minimize the trauma as much as possible and taking such good care of me/us. Please correct me if you feel like I'm exaggerating about the severity, maybe 8 hrs isn't that bad compared to others, i don't really know. Also, I used PG 13 wording but it was fun not being PG 13 with you guys while talking, it was a rough time and not having to try to pretend to be a goody goody helped, if that makes any sense. I could never really express properly how much i respect you all but I hope i did an ok job with this mini novel.
Wound Nurses are saints! My late grandmother had a hole burnt in her back from radiation laser treatment for her colorectal cancer. It was deep enough to see innards and bone. And it had a smell. You had to have a stiff upper lip and strong determination to clean and dress. It was a long ritual that took about a half hour to 45 mins. Thank goodness for them!
Ha! I'm a care worker and interacting with the wound nurse is the funniest shit that can happen during work: they let me watch when they do the gross treatments and are very enthusiastic explaining the process. Really nice people!
Man these doctors would be straight screwed without these nurses I never knew how much of the work is done by nurses much more respect from here on out will be given to any nurses I interact with now
OH, if this is normal communication that would explain why I got weird reactions for saying "quarter size partial thickness wound on lateral malleolous serous discharge, no streak afebrile , now covered with dry dressing, what would you like??"
I mean I would appreciate that description if I didn't know the patient already. I'm not a would nurse though, just a nurse who has to deal with wounds.
Great content Dr as usual. Love these uplifting uploads. Got to have a laugh. Mr. Jones has so much wrong. A permanent residence in hospital. Would really miss him if he were to move on. Bless him!!!!! Thank you so very much. Kindest regards from England.
I hope they don’t! That’s so mean. We all have to learn, and we’re all part of a team. I know many nurse colleagues who love working with residents. I’m sorry if you had a bad experience!
I fondly remember messing with the interns. They would write orders like: Accurate Intake and Output. I had a friend who would ask them if they were sure that they didn’t want the Inaccurate protocol🤣
"you're a nurse, the wound nurse is a nurse"
That's nursist
Brilliant humor! lol
As a CNA I'm going to incorporate this into my vocabulary.
Is it nursist if it’s because interns clearly know nurses know more and hold more power and are terrified of them? L

The wound nurse messing with the doctor reminded me of when my dad worked at a mechanic shop. He told a new guy to get a part number N-O-T-1. The guy looked for an hour before they told him.
I’m not fluent in medical talk but I’ve been seeing your videos pop up more and more and they’re entertaining so you got another sub
I was so happy to see your videos made it onto Dr. Mike’s channel! Now more people can appreciate what the rest of us die laughing at each day. Keep it up.
Thanks! Did you see more than one on his channel? I saw the testing center one but would love to hear if there were others!
I only saw the testing centre one. I hope your channel keeps getting more exposure. Your videos are great!
Fuck Dr Mike . He's a hypocrite
The wound whisperers. High respect for them and learned so much from them.
I worked as a NP in a wound care center and this is 100% accurate!!!!!!
wound nurses really are legendary
As a surgeon that's literally how I feel talking to any colleague from a non-surgical specialty about wounds!
I love wound nurses! They are so efficient and only get mad when you don't turn a patient or throw away their ointments 🤣
Man one time I called the TVN ( wound nurse) to our psychiatry ward and she turned up like a warrior with all this fancy gear
So cool how he gives the nurses the props and let's both doctor and nurse shine during his comedy 😂😂😂
I've watched this 7 times now. It is still hilarious!
Our wound nurse is the BEST! I LOVE her. She does amazing work too
She is an excellent wound care nurse as well
I have long term unhealing wounds. From nec fasc, unsuccessful graft and allergic reactions to a myriad of things. My wound nurses and homehealth nurse are amazing! Every time we get one healed they celebrate with me.. when it reappears 6 months later or a new one shows up they grieve with me.. the come to see me in the hospital even when the orders haven't come through for them to be there yet! I really do love them.
So nice to have wound care nurse involved. Makes a nice change from Dr’s orders for saline soaks. On everything 🤦♀️
Or podiatry recs for betadine soaked gauze and keeling. For almost EVERYTHING
Kerlix. Not keeling. Autocorrect.
@@KD-vf6yq Our podiatrists douse everything in Gentian Violet and then consult us. I literally can’t see anything after that, just purple. Ugh.
I had a course of ham, sam and gramium last week. Really cleared up my lunchhunchititis.
I have been practicing wound care for 21 years. This senario is right on. It takes a lot to make me squeamish. I am a PA (Physician Associate) specializing in wound care. I love it. It's really is rewarding to see the wound progress through to healing. I feel lucky and really enjoy this field as I get to debride and do other minor procedures on my own. I also take the time to really get to know my patients. I also can change treatment as I see fit. And I get to do my own dressings, which I also find satisfying. 😊
Could be my favorite yet! The ending..😂
This guy is the most relatable healthcare professional everrr
Most nurses think that doctors should just leave the wound care to the nurses. Ok doc you diagnose and let the nurses do everything else.
Lol we do. Most of the time we just tell the doctors what we want and they run with it.
Pretty much runs this way in veterinary nursing too 😂
Isn’t that how it is run?
Doctors do diagnosing and management of associated medical condition to facilitate the healing while the nurses take care of the wound care and others.
@@rosedawn8046 I think you would be surprised how often nurses actually diagnose or closely collaborate with doctors in determining a diagnosis.
@@maryellsworth6670
It’s pattern recognition from the experiences talking. Not the training talking.
You cannot possibly compare the skill sets between two different patient care points
As a Doc, this guy is hilarious. Videos are on point.
Lol yes I help the wound care nurse at times. Lol she’s always calling the Dr. taking pictures and sending them to him with requests for pt.
I've had a super cool wound Nurse when I had my feeding tube. Feeding tube is gone now and she was my wound nurse throughout the whole painful process. I'm so glad she was so great!
This is how the wound care nurse was with me today 😂 and I'm a nurse....
They're just older than most of us newbies so they eat all the young of all the specialties. Nom nom
Nom nom 😂
Nom nom 🤣
Ha ha!....I'm 34 😂
@@sportdognutritionholly9259 in real life 34 is obviously young but on my unit we can't tolerate bedside for more than 1-2 years. I'm 24 and I'm one of the older ones. Yikes
@@Marina-xd7gp it's easy to burn out for sure, it's why it's important to love your work...come to wound care! 😁
Love and thanks to all the wound nurses out there! Y’all are amazing and I’m so grateful for the care and teaching I’ve gotten about my issues.
😂 I always loved messing with interns.
I love wound nurses! "Polysporin? Yeah, I'm not doing that!"😅😅😅
There are literally tears in my eyes from laughing!
For the wound care nurses who see this...I love you guys, I spent a long time in the I.C.U. due to what I think you would call a severe run in with pseudomonas. I lost a decent amount of skin and a few pounds of muscle. My first redress took 8 hrs, with 2 wound vacs, lots of foam being being stuffed in holes and lots of tegaderm(among all the other crap you of course know). You can imagine I spent a lot of time with my wound care nurses, eventually learning how to help to try and distract myself and to try helping lighten the load. I learned a lot and enjoyed their sense of humor and company. I never wanted to be touched by a surgeon without a wound nurse present, they can be brutal. Anyway, not often do I see anything mentioning y'all(never actually) so I figured I'd say hi to those that may see this and thank you so very much for what you do and to my nurses specifically, although I assume it applies generally, for trying so hard not to add to the pain. It's a heck of a thing trying to keep something without skin protected and healing and it sucks that you guys have to inflict so much pain to do your job, I know it's not always easy and I get the impression you guys never have enough people for the incredibly difficult job you have to do, so know you have at least one person who always advocates for you if that matters. I spent a lot of time with them and although it was traumatic I miss them and was sad when I didn't get to see them anymore. What you guys do is so important and judging by the crap show it usually turned into when the wound vacs got messed up, usually over night, and you weren't there, not easy. It requires a lot of skill and dedication since everything kinda has to be figured out on the fly and often sort of Macgyvered with whatever was available, jeez I remember the piles of packaging covering every inch of my bed when each session was over(I'm guessing it was probably $5-10k every couple of days in supplies). Anyway sorry for the probable misspelling and inaccuracies, it's been over 6 years and I was on a lot of "stuff" at the time. Again, I really appreciate y'all for everything you did/do to try to minimize the trauma as much as possible and taking such good care of me/us. Please correct me if you feel like I'm exaggerating about the severity, maybe 8 hrs isn't that bad compared to others, i don't really know. Also, I used PG 13 wording but it was fun not being PG 13 with you guys while talking, it was a rough time and not having to try to pretend to be a goody goody helped, if that makes any sense. I could never really express properly how much i respect you all but I hope i did an ok job with this mini novel.
Can you do one video regarding your experience during psych rotation? It should be fun lol
Yes psych rotation!
Yes, please do a psychic rotation.
Wound Nurses are saints! My late grandmother had a hole burnt in her back from radiation laser treatment for her colorectal cancer. It was deep enough to see innards and bone. And it had a smell. You had to have a stiff upper lip and strong determination to clean and dress. It was a long ritual that took about a half hour to 45 mins. Thank goodness for them!
can u do you and the dialysis nurse? 👀
This brought back some old wounds
As a er nurse i have no clue how to fucking chart wounds. "Hey doc room 4 has a wound on his belly under his fat folds. It's red, uh no drainage. Yea"
Ha! I'm a care worker and interacting with the wound nurse is the funniest shit that can happen during work: they let me watch when they do the gross treatments and are very enthusiastic explaining the process. Really nice people!
Lol! We wound nurses like to teach and make gross jokes.
ham and cheese on my wound
It’s the intern’s nervous laugh at the end for me lol 🤣🤣
I just called for a wound care consult not two hours ago and this is hilariously similar to what went down 😂
That’s MUCH nicer than our wound nurses at one hospital! I would buy that woman coffee!
I’m almost afrAid to ask but which leg is it? Bahahahaha
Man these doctors would be straight screwed without these nurses I never knew how much of the work is done by nurses much more respect from here on out will be given to any nurses I interact with now
OH, if this is normal communication that would explain why I got weird reactions for saying "quarter size partial thickness wound on lateral malleolous serous discharge, no streak afebrile , now covered with dry dressing, what would you like??"
I mean I would appreciate that description if I didn't know the patient already. I'm not a would nurse though, just a nurse who has to deal with wounds.
Great content Dr as usual. Love these uplifting uploads. Got to have a laugh. Mr. Jones has so much wrong. A permanent residence in hospital. Would really miss him if he were to move on. Bless him!!!!! Thank you so very much. Kindest regards from England.
Yeah nurses will mess with your head, especially if you are a first year resident. They know how gullible you are
I hope they don’t! That’s so mean. We all have to learn, and we’re all part of a team. I know many nurse colleagues who love working with residents. I’m sorry if you had a bad experience!
Kind of refreshing to see doctors flustered and confused like the rest of us. I swear ignorance and bloated confidence is part of the curriculum.
there is a wound nurse ??!!
Heck yeah! Consult them for your nasty wounds, they're great.
Here we call them Tissue viability Nurses.
Certified ostomy, continence, wound care aka CWOC nurses was the certification.
I didn’t know wounds were a specialty. That’s pretty cool. I learn something new every day
First :D
I fondly remember messing with the interns. They would write orders like: Accurate Intake and Output. I had a friend who would ask them if they were sure that they didn’t want the Inaccurate protocol🤣
"I'll take care of it kid"
ALWAYS trust the wound nurse 🤣🤣
I laughed out loud at this one. The skits on this channel are very funny & the various wigs just make them even better.
That freaked-out laugh at the end got me!! 🤣🤣🤣🤣
Mr Jones is the best patient being there 24/7
Whenever the scene changes to him with that black wig its always mad funny to see that
*That* face at the end really sells it for me 😅 ...this is going to be fine...just keep swimming, just keep swimming 🤣
I loved working wound care! It was really fun at a teaching hospital 😂😂 the new little baby docs were warned and they were always scared of us! 😂
