Let me know if you guys like this vlog format!
Love it!!! Always so happy when you post!
I like it. It's more informative and detail.
Yep! I like to hear more about your routine at the emergency. You're my inspiration, thanks for waste a little time with the vlog :)
I like this vlog. Do you regret how busy you are? Would you have preferred being an RN, in the name of love? Or if you were standing alone on the planet with nothing to your name except for what you do, would you still pick MD?
TheStriveToFit Love it ❤️👍👍
I love this commentary style of the vlog. Breaking it down step by step is a cool way to get an additional perspective with some reflection.
Hope PGY1 is treating you well!

Wow!
I feel the sudden urge to go buy myself a pack of sour skittles while watching.
I'm thinking about going into Emergency Medicine but I'm not sure if it's a fit for me. Would you be willing to make a video about your proceds in choosing it? The things you considered, etc.
She did a video about this
When I interviewed for med school one of the best pieces of advice an interviewer gave me was when choosing a specialty decide “would you like to know a lot about a little or a little about a lot” also “do you want short term relationships or long term relationships with your patients”. Jamie for example knows a lot about a little and has short term relationships. Something to think about
Yes ! Please ?
How did you know that this is what suits you?
for real all I have to do is watch one of your videos and it pumps me up with energy and motivation, I am a medical student and i'll be graduating in 7 months, still haven't settled on a specialty yet but considering ED, and your vlogs are eye opening so thank you ^_^
hi jamie! if you remember seeing a girl on the street last week who started babbling when she saw you, that was me and I was starstruck 🤩 my husb works at a hospital in the area so I have a lot of respect for what you do and can sympathize with the crazy schedule!! you go girl :)
Hey I am not a medical student or plan to go to medical school but I just like your message and advice that you give in videos. One of my friends plans to go to medical school. She took the MCAT and applied to schools. She hopes to go to school next fall. I will have to tell her about your channel.
what a good friend you are!
This vlog format is great! It seems like a great way to incorporate bits of your life without having to consciously "plan" to do so in your busy schedule.
Thinking about 12 hour shifts just gives me so much anxiety... I had my first 12 hour shift experience last month and wow... It was a lot to handle.. I'm definitely not ready for more.
Hey, Jamie. I've been following you for quite some time now. I live in Brazil but I'm moving to Canada pretty soon. I'm going into medical school and it has been great all the content about your life as a doctor, specially as an Emergency Doctor. Thank you for being real and for all things that help us (people starting life in medical school) keep it up.
ps. I like the new format just as much as I like the "normal" one.
Thanks Silas!
8:30 broke my heart.. I understand that feeling
Could you do a video on pediatric vs adult emergency medicine?
Anna Love this idea! Would be really cool to be able to learn more about the differences :)
Great Idea!!
Doma (Дома) in Russian means “at home”. Such a coincidence! 😃😃
For That Busy Working Schedule Of Yourself, The Positive Attitude Showed, While Speaking Up, It Is Impressive !
I like how when you said...”tonight’s dinner is going to be... “ and then you hear the cat meowing in the background !
Omg I was just watching one of your videos now and asked myself where have u been because u did not upload last weekend ..seriously you are my motivation to study harder even though I am not medical student 🤩🤩😍
Then why are you watching this video
So excited to see what the future has in store for you! I can’t believe I’ve been watching you since I was a junior in highschool! Time flies!! Glad to see you still are fitting in friend time too, it clarifies the misconception that you can’t have a social life while being a med student/resident 😀❣️
Hahah, Doma actually means 'at home' in Russian, that's pretty cool.
Hey Jamie, what's your favorite/most intriguing thing you like to treat? something that really give you an adrenaline rush once that patient comes through the door?
You are MY DEF OF ROLE MODEL!! I been following you some time now.... my route is a little dif than everyone else... but watching your videos makes me feel like if I want to do this I can! Thanks for putting the time to make these videos for us!
Nice video! I just wanted to tell you guys about a vlog i found on spotify called "behind the knife". The talk about all kinds of topics on there and they have a LOT of case studies to get your medicine juices flowing. its pretty cool
Super interesting hearing an Emergency doc talk about it and getting your perspective in terms of how you’d explain it to the general public, versus how I (an emergency nurse) think about it.
I’d be interested in a video that talks about what you do during a residency shift. I know you see patients, but what kind do you get assigned as a first year. How is your attending grading you? How often do you have to look stuff up versus already know it? How much is learning content versus doing patient care?
So happy I’m in PA school. I don’t know how doctors do it. I do want to work in the Er (I was an EMT) but I probably only want to do it for a few years so I don’t get burnt out then switch to something else. But when I graduate i think I’m going to do family medicine first to get more experience overall.
You mentioned only having 2 hours to eat, exercise, study etc. How much studying do you have to do as a resident? Are you still technically taking classes?
No classes but you have intern exam, boards, ya know
UGH , in Morocco interns and residents do a 24h shift due to the shortage of doctors , interns in their first 3 months do 1each 2 days , then later on it depends on the service
We do 24h every 3 days here in the Philippines
Hi Jamie, could you please go over what makes a perfect resident and what strategies you use to be attentive during your shifts?
Hi Jamie...I watched you heavily during my beginning years of med school but once third year and aways came a long it was harder for me to do so... I wanted to say thank you for all you doo. I actually am looking forward to matching into EM also and also met residents from your program, as well as others NYC at last years ACEP. I mostly IV on the east coast and wanted to know if you could potentially do a video on ROL and picking the right program for you...keep doing what ur doing!!!❤️
I love vlogs. Thanks for still maintaining content even with your insanely busy life! You inspire me and I love watching your vids

Not even close, but you do call all of them.
TheBalls55 and your angry because ,,,?
TheBalls55 I really hope you’re not trying to disrespect the doctors that are literally the first responders to disasters in the hospitals💀
When an accident takes place, no matter what specialty it is in, emergency doctors deal with it first. DO NOT disrespect them.
Love your advices and can totally relate to that pressure to make the most of your free time. Why do we do that to ourselves? :____ Love the care and work you put in your vlogs :)
Currently watching your vlog in between classes and volunteering at a hospital . THANK YOU FOR UPLOADING💕🍍
I’m actually considering emergency medicine myself! The one thing that makes me hesitate is the lack of continuity of care:/
Hmm, that's a big one. I had this on my mind for a couple of months while I was doing an ER rotation and while I did miss not knowing the final diagnoses and the full course of treatment of those patient with the really interesting pathologies, I found that for most of the patients, they weren't as exciting/intriguing in the sense that I felt like I HAD to take part of their major treatment plan (COPD, CHF exacerbations, cellulitis, the weak and dizzy...)
My point is that while this really seems like a turn off at the beginning, I think that for most people (you might be the exception, who knows?) they end up not viewing this as that big of a con in the long run. Patients can be hilarious, fun and interesting, but a whole bunch of them will make your hair turn grey on you long before it naturally should, at which point you thank god you only have to see them for like 5 more hours and then they're off to the ward.
I like this perspective. Im also an EM resident here in the Philippines. Some or shall I say most of the time I feel like I need to know how to actually manage a patient up in the ward. @@RonShenkar
@@diribastabasta is that a bad thing (to go into Emed) and wanting to follow up on your patients? Hows your experience so far? Any regrets?
@@diribastabasta hi :-)
I am doing MBBS year 2 and I wanna eventually specialise in Emergency Medicine. May you please share with me the details on entry requirements for studying EM at the school you went to.. and to begin with, what is the name of the university you graduated from..
@@diribastabasta hey I am a second year medical student in the philippines. I am interested in EM as a specialty and what does it to be an EM resident? and do you recommend it?
YES QUEEN WE stan
Do you ever feel absolutely terrified/what do you when you don’t know what to do? Does that happen often?
Just admit it to yourself and to the patient if you are stuck. Ask for second opinion.
I feel like that all the time. It’s not limited to just being in emergency medicine. But to all the department.
She's surrounded by people who can help her.. But she's also SUPER JAMIE..!!
Yooooo that cat, meowing when she said my dinner is gona be … that killed me
great coverage, emergency medicine is not an easy filed i think one of the most difficult is the upside down sleeping, but in the other hand is very rewarding
this is literally my dream!! i knew i was going to be a doctor since i was like 5 years old and by 12 i knew it was going to be in emergency medicine! im now 15 and taking all of elective the science classes i can!!
I love this vlog format!! I really appreciate the time you take to show us in depth all you do and your honest opinion on topics. Thank you, it gives an insight to future doctors.
Just came home from volunteering in the Emergency Department, perfect timing :) Your videos are the best!
Jen Luo same!! How has your experience been?
Enter Username, hi there!! I’ve been volunteering at my hospital for awhile, but recently switched from info desk to ED (we have to start off training at info desks). I mostly go around asking patients & their family if they’d like something to drink or warm blankets, etc. Honestly I have a deep amount of respect for the nurses who are super nice, and also the patients for being kind/friendly despite their situation and how long they’ve been waiting for. What’s your experience been like?
Jen Luo my first day was yesterday actually I just switched from volunteering in the distribution center of my hospital! I saw some pretty cool stuff one patient came into trauma after being struck by lightning. I have a huge respect for the nurses they deal with a lot of personalities. So far it hasnt scared me off yet I love the intensity and at my hospital they let volunteers watch the traumas
I love your channel so much. I like how you give us your inside look to medicine. To life and medicine. I have even bee inspired to start my own channel. Due to you, keep going, I cant wait to see more
Hi Jamie! I've been watching your videos for a long time now. I think this is a good format especially since you can't always do long vlogs :)
Refreshing new format! Very cool commentary! :)
YOU ARE SO PRETTY!! ❤️
Great video! I also just started residency this year
I have been to the emergency room twice. First time I think I was 7 or 8. I live out in the country but not on a farm. Anyways I was digging in the garden with a pitchfork which now that I think of it was not a smart idea plus I was wearing saddles when this happened. Had to get three stitches on my foot. The 2nd time I was in the ER happened after I crashed my bike. I was riding my bike back to work cause I was on break. I was peddling down a hill I looked to my left for a brief second next thing I know I slammed right into a parked car that was on the side of the street. I scraped my knees, elbow and hands pretty bad but the more Saveur injury was my chin. It had a huge chunk of skin missing. The doctor said he could not stich it back up since there was not enough skin. Thankfully though I was wearing my bike helmet. I can't even imagine what would have happened if I didn't have my helmet on. That bike crash happened when I was 17 and it happened 4 days before my sister got married.
This video was great! Loved this style of vlogging!
omg i would die to be an emergency pediatric doctor but i want to have a family so i wouldn’t be able to do the hours but it’s one of my dreamsss !
You are goals! 😍
I love your edits!!!
Thanks Giselle!!
Hi Doc!May i ask questions
1.What stop first to a patient who is unconscious Pulse rate or Breathing ?
2.Is there a backflow during IV insertion if the patient has no pulse?
3.Is there a backflow if the patient has no breathing?
It's been a long time ago since I had the cpr training .
I google it but I had a hard time searching for an answer and I believe that I can get accurate answer from a Doctor like you..Thanks in advance mam..I hope you will notice me.Godbless you always
Never clicked this fast! Hope you're doing great
i have been waiting for this video for so long :>
I love your videos! Btw, I saw you yesterday at Ihawan! Im pretty sure it was you and I was sitting right on the other table! I am pretty shy and awkward to approach you at that time! ☺️
That was me! I love Ihawan :) Please say hi next time!
I will the next time! ❤️
Show your hospital and equipment!
I'm in A levels, I don't know if I should keep physics. I love youuuuu 😭❤️
lovely video. thanks
i got jealous in resideny in US , they only got 12 hours on duty while here in our country we do it 24,36 or 48 hours.. we don't have enough sleep. =(
The work schedule for your work seems so complicated!! I would feel so lonely when im the only one working.
YOU ARE AMZING
how do you balance all your factors when you chose your residency programs you were applying to?
I geeked when I saw this notification
Never clicked on a vid this fast.wow
Hey, I’m interested in becoming an emergency medicine doctor in the future. I wanted to know what the most difficult part of the job is?
Pleeeeeease show some of your hospital and equipment :)
Im confused with how residency works. So you choose a medical specialty and match into a program but still do rotations with different specialties? What's the point of the MATCH then?
Great vlogs keep going 👏👏
i love your pearl necklace! where did you get it? also i really enjoyed this video style
You make me want to post more! Keep it up
you should!!
How I want to be a Human doctor and I am quite old already but I still want to pursue my dream right now I am in veterinary school
I know this is prolly the most irrelevant comment out there. But Sour Skittles is my absoulute fave snack. 🤓💖💕💕
Haha it's the best
The Dream
nice vedeo , if just you can tel more about cases thanks that is intresting
Hi Jamie, how do you manage to study in hectic schedule like that? Have u ever feel like dont want to study and ended up watching youtube? Thank u
Hey everyone I’m reading comments and I’m not alone lol I want to study medicine but I don’t know what actual job I want and if medical school is what I want? How can I figure out if I even want to go to medical school? Please help
Any tips?what to read on?topics to focus on?plan take emed res too
Can ER doctors check on their admitted patients on the floors or are they restricted to the ER? I'm thinking about applying to medical school, but want a specialty where I can really interact with patients!
Drake on the radio 😂 8:31 🫶
can you please make a tips/advice video on mcat?
zee kay she has made some
Yay to the subscribe bell button 😁
This style of vlogging is really creative and informative
Have you seen Code Black? Does it come close to what happens in the ER?
Woo! New video hehe 🙌🏽❤
Quick question, in the ED is the scope of practice for PAs compared to ER physicians similar? Currently taking prereqs for med school as a nontrad but also learning more about PA life.
Amanda Pearson hi! I’m in PA school. I shadowed two PAs in the ER. They would have an MD and a PA in each area. And it looked like they just would pick someone to go see. Didn’t really matter if t was a MD or a PA. I saw them drain abscesses, multiple stitches, almost staples but they decided to do stitches. And doing the same things like taking a history, ordering things. The MD never saw the pts the PA saw unless they had a question.
Sour skittles over chocolate?
*How many* 12 hour shifts do you have to do per week?
Hi I have recently been watching alot of your videos and they are awesome and so informational. It has always been my dream to one day go to med school and I am interested in either volunteering or shadowing a doctor. I was looking into some hospitals near me that I could do this at bit I am having a hard time finding contact information for the hospital or departments do you have any tips? Thank you.
Could you add spanish or frensh subtitles?please😉
Subscribed!
Hi.what would u recommend for step 2ck preparation?thank u.
I think there was a mistake with the schedule at 6:22
I'm an emergency doctor from Syria,,,,,,it's really hard job especially we should know smothing for everything....sami Mustafa
سامي مصطفى hi colleague
actually you need to know everthing about everything
is emergency medicine like that( long hour shifts) after residency , like when you get a job as an EM doctor or not
Depends on so many things. A very common thing as an EM doctor is not a specific amount of days, but an amount of hours. So in your contract you might have to work 144 hours in a month, and as long as you make it the hours are very flexible. Some do 12, 12 hour shifts. Some people do 18, 8 hour hour shifts. And some people mix it up with a mixture of 8 to 12 hour days.
Because of shift work, you’re most likely only going to have 8 to 12 hour shifts. And So I guess I can’t answer your question entirely because “long hour shifts” is pretty relative. I guess if 8 hours is a normal work day, 12 hours is a lot longer. But you also work less days. So there’s pros and cons to either of them.
Hope that helped though.
I like internal medicine and pharmacology. But I want to be a emergency medical doctor. Is that possible?..
And I want to spend my time with family. So is there enough time to spend with family?
For lady doctor being emergency doctor is good?
Hey Jemie, is there any connection between Trauma surgery and emergency medicine?
Great video 👌..I'm always inspiring from your videos, but still a question to ask about time management which is a big problem in my life as a med student (vlogging, studying, working, friends' time, ..etc. I'm just studying all the time without real avail, and want to have friends' time, to create some videos..etc.. How can I do this ! And how to manage time perfectly ! )..
Thank you ^^ 🌷
When your mind is so wired medically that you hear her oven go off and you think a patient is coding.
I just posted an interview with an Emergency Medicine doctor on my channel - the questions I asked were specifically for premed and medical students wanting to know more about the specialty. Check it out if you would like to learn how to match into EM!! 😊
this made me really sad
I would love to do this, but I feel like I’m not smart enough 😔
Can you further specialize after graduating from Emergency Medicine just like you can go into cardiology/pulmonology after graduating from internal medicine?
Hi! Do you have vlog/blog that focuses more on the learning part of emergency medicine? Do you have a module that you follow? During a shift are you mentored by a consultant or a senior? Do you have "Tintinalli Hour"? I also wanna know the scope of your practice there in the states. From receiving a patient to stabilizing then ready for admission to the specific department let's say Internal Medicine? Thanks! Would really appreciate to have a feedback from you. I am currently a first year EM resident here in the Philippines.
