“Jack of all trades, master on none, but oftentimes better than a master of one” I think the full quote is more accurate to EM doctors
I'd say EM docs are the masters of stabilization
Lmaooo ok guy
Exactly
Doctors don't know shit. Medication and doctors have one thing in common. They both kill you!!!!
@@HowieDoIt93 arguable but that could also be given to mid-tier and even lower-tier providers (NP, PA, RN, NRP, and EMT)
I think you know when you’ve found your chosen specialty when everything in the video makes you excited!
I felt very same think as you did. Good luck in the EM field. ❤️
I was debating between a trauma surgeon or em and after watching Im pretty sure I want to be an em
I feel the same way! Good luck :)
Same!!
Same way!
I’m an EM resident. We like to say “jack of all trades, master of SOME”. We are masters at resuscitation, triage, and making quick decisions with limited information.
do emergency medicine doctors work in the ER?
@@therandomcroissantd8879yes they are the ones who usually run it
@@therandomcroissantd8879yes
@@therandomcroissantd8879 ........ buddy thats the only place they work
@@therandomcroissantd8879 nah bro in a target
Having been an emergency physician for 16 years, I must point out that this video is largely accurate except two crucial oversights. First, we are indeed jack of all trades, but we are not experts of none. The reason is why Emergency Medicine is a specialty recognized by ABMS is because we are experts of resuscitation, bringing patient from one side of life back to the other side. Resuscitation is not the same as stabilization. Your second cucial oversight is our well recognized ability to intubate in the most chaotic situations, whereas Anesthesia and Intensivitist in general do not. Tsk Tsk.
Emergency medicine is my goal :-)
@@matthewlanglands6943
Same man.
Currently in love with the idea of becoming one, I hope someday i'll be one of you, thank you for saving lives❤
“Jack of all trades, master of none” is a poor characterization of EM physicians. They are the masters of resuscitation and treating the undifferentiated patient. Handling emergencies IS their speciality.
Good point mitch
Thank you, as an EM resident I resent being called jack of all trades. oh the insult and disrespect!
@@odesialowe6908 No problem! I don't think it's said out of disrespect often, but it is definitely inaccurate and worth correcting!
@@PoorManStJohn really? which state are you from? you dont need to specify anything in particular, but as he said in the video, the hourly pay for em is *very* diverse
im about to become a resident next year and really interested in taking up em! any words of advice?
I would say Anesthesia probably is a master of resuscitation in a way as well! Also, Idk if EM is MORE of a master of diagnosing/treating undifferentiated patients as IM/FM. I think all 3 are capable of treating undifferentiated patients, but EM has to do it more rapidly, and they have access to most tools they need in any moment, where as an IM / FM doc may have the same DDx on their list as the EM Docs, but due to lack of an inhouse lab outpatient, and need for them to go to a pharmacy rather than ordering a drug that is immediately given, they just have to go slower unfortunately. Otherwise, agreed! Two people can master one thing.
Can you do “so you want to be an ANESTHESIOLOGIST.”
Been waiting for it and I always think of @KristinaBraly
Nine Cookies yes I love her!
I clicked on ‘comments’ to comment this! Only to see that someone already has😂🤞🏽
Can you do " so you want to be a pediatrician" or anything related to pediatrics
I agree with you
artzy craftzy OMG me to
Exactly
Yea
LOUDER
this👏🏻is👏🏻my👏🏻future👏🏻 just thinking about being in emergency medicine makes me so freaking excited like i get chills when i think about it!! i cannot wait.
My daughter is a board certified ER physican and all I know she works long hours and never gets enough sleep……… So proud of her
Can you do a “So you want to be a Radiologist/Interventional Radiologist?”
"So you want to be an oncologist?" PLEASE!!
Can you do "So you want to be an ob/gyn"
Yes!!!
Can you do "so you want to be a cardiothoracic surgeon"?
Yes I agree
Yes, please
Yes 🙏🏼
Yes please!!!!
Can you do "so you want to be a DERMATOLOGIST" plzzz.
I would recommend that u watch a dermatologists entire routine dr.Shireen Idress it is sort of a day in the life
working as a scribe in the ER were some of the best and worst times in my life. i learned so much working there and left every shift satisfied knowing i contributed to helping the doctor care for the patient.
Seems like lots of scribes now due to increasingly insane “documentation “ demands, does the ER physicians hire you independently? How much is pay? You do the coding for them?
As an over 30 years emergency medical physician and paramedic prior to my medical studies, I cannot see myself being in any other field. Proud as a peacock!
One time I was shadowing an international medicine doctor and he told me that if you can work at FedEx, you can be an ER doc. “All you do is ship them up.”
I was too scared to say “and make sure they don’t die!”
Sounds rather egotistical
Damn I literally felt like you were describing me when speaking about the character traits of an EM doctor. Thanks for this video im feeling more and more certain about what specialty I want to be in 😁
First like the video, then watch it. You ARE AWESOME, a huge motivation and so much more to learn from you man. Been following you for 2 years now across both channels and instagram accounts, keep up the good work.
Huge respect for medical staff especially during this pandemic they are our heroes
Very informative! Hope to see a video about anesthesiologists soon
Can you do “so you want to be a radiologist?”
Yes !!
No need they are being replaced.
@@user-lu6yg3vk9z not true
@@user-lu6yg3vk9z I disagree
Believe it or not they are going to be replaced. My dad is an emergency medicine doctor and he says that computers are already beginning to take over radiologist jobs
So happy this video exists
I always wanted to pursue emergency medicine and had so many questions but never had someone to answer them
This video is perfect
I’m a 17 year old Emt. It’s my dream to become an EM
In our md training in iran we had 28 days on this rotation . That was nightmare . 2 days 12 hours day shift . 2 days 12 hours night shift . 2 days off .
Same!!! I’m 17 and will be becoming an EMT this school year to help me go into EM one day!
Same here I'm 18
I had that same dream as a 19y.o. EMT. Now I'm a 24, a paramedic, finally finishing my bachelors in EM (Look into Pitt) and concurrently getting my MPH. Can't wait for my future as an EMS doc. See ya there kid.
@@Zac-mq4pn in currently an emt student as well as undergrad student. Is it hard to manage both emt/paramedic school and undergrad and how many hours did you average a semester. Thanks!
Watching this video was like a checklist of all the things I'd want to do as a physician.
i am a middle schooler and i definitely want to work in medicine. my 3 main specialties i cant decide between are Emergency medicine, Cardiology, and Pediatrics. every time i take one of those silly quiz's or even just talk about it to people, im always told i would make a great emergency doctor.
I’m a 22 year old and want to do it too perhaps! Keep On Keepin On!!!!!
80% primary care, 10% dealing with specialists, maybe 10% emergencies.
Definitely depends on where you are. I’m an ortho PGY-1 at major hospital and am friends with EM residents, and I would say they probably deal with 40% emergencies. Unfortunately EM has evolved into a speciality that people abuse for primary care reasons..kinda why I didn’t enjoy my rotation in it during 3rd year
@@Fandomonium456 in an ED i rotated in as a pediatric resident, they would give children immunizations in the ED if they are using it for primary care
@@Fandomonium456 It may seem like that, but no they don't. 10% is a pretty generous estimation (in non-COVID times).
@Rene Ayala It isn't. All medicine is mostly routine & occasionally extreme. I'd say this is a higher percentage than any other non-operative specialty.
This episode on becoming an emergency medicine doctor is incredibly insightful! It offers valuable perspective on the challenges and rewards of this noble profession. Thanks for shedding light on the journey to becoming an emergency medicine doctor-it's truly inspiring!
Emergency doctors are the best doctors
because they have seeing it all and they could find out your mysterious diagnosis that your primary doctor couldn’t figure out. When I go see my family doctor and he doesn’t know what the problem is he says go to the emergency.
Can you do “ so you want to be an internal medicine doctor”
Thank you so much for making this video man. Becoming an ED physician's my dream and your video really cleared a lot of thing yo for me and motivated me more to become one.
The only ED doc I know fits the stereotype at 6:00 so perfectly. Outdoorsman, runs ultra marathons, and rock climbs hahahahaha
Pretty much all the ED docs I've come across are very fit lol!
Now I see why it's one of the most competitive residencies in Canada; it sounds amazing. This series is really opening up my eyes because I've been stuck on pathology since I was like twelve. Thanks for the information
Omg thank you so much was needing this badly. Could you also do a 'so you want to be a pediatrician' or something simmilar please? Thank you for the grat vid😇
Jack of all trades, master of Emergencies.❤
I appreciate your videos because they really help people that are not sure about what they want to do in medicine. Your editing is top notch, and you give a summary of the subject in just enough detail. Keep up the good work!
"So you want to be an OPHTHALMOLOGIST" Thank you!
Could you do a So you want to be an Anesthesiologist please?
I've been looking forward to this video, thank you!
I worked at the Er as a scribe and I loved it. Made me wanna go into emergency medicine
My future career! As a 3 year MD student I got to pick my residency before I started med school. I'm doing EM!
These videos are super helpful, thanks so much for making them!
When I graduate highschool and move onto bigger things, Emergency Mecicine and Radiology are my favorite.
Considering how things changed this year for EM, as far as competitiveness and the massive amount of SOAP positions (over 200!). I feel there should be a video about that change. It's too crazy not to talk about!
Can you expand/detail on that a bit here?
Covid hit EM more than most residencies. Many med schools canceled their ED rotations, which really hit EM hard. Now that Covid has settled down, EM should see a nice bounce back.
Please do CARDIOVASCULAR/CARDIO SURGERY
No need they will replaced with machines.
I am in a High School right know. I want to be ED. I really love this job. I hope that this will never change.
Dr. Jubbal, you made my day with this video
Oncology would be interesting.
Finally!!
I've been waiting so long for this one
Can you do “so you want to be a sports medicine doctor”? Or could you go into depth about an EM attending with a sports medicine fellowship?
Love these vídeos, please do next Anesthesia, Urology, Psychyatry or Neurology!
So you wanna be fetal/ped surgeon.
From both obgyn and general surgeon routes. From prenatal to postnatal intervention. Also , including neonatal aspects to take care of newborn.
FINALLY U MADE THIS ONE!!!
Can you do “So you want to be a otolaryngologist” please
“A jack of all trades is a master of none, but oftentimes better than a master of one.”
Please do on internal medicine ,what's its like what are the usual cases seen as an non specialized internist!
Please do, "so you want to be a family medicine doctor."
Thanks!!!
It’s coming soon
Great video! Im waiting for the so you want to be a critical care doctor
Everyday we get pt who are addicts requesting drugs, that’s why it’s important to document frequent flyer in their charts
Uffff, just finish my biology finale to find my self with this great surprise. 🤩
You have to do a "So you want to be a SURGERY TECHNICIAN"
You should do of so you want to be a psychiatrist
Very creative education. I'm learning and creating my best. Thanks for inspiration :)
So what you’re saying is that if there’s an apocalypse EMs are the most valuable. Cool, I know what I’m doing.
Can you do 'so you want to drop medical school?'
When I shadowed in emergency nedicine it was way different than I expected. Most of the cases were procedural, and the doctors didn't seem to care much for their patients.
Yes unfortunately ED leads to high rates of burnout and the doctors no longer care
I turned on my post notifications to see this exact episode. Thank you!
This is the goal🙏
I find the saying that EM docs are the second best doctor to be inaccurate and frankly somewhat offensive. An EM doc is a master resuscitationolgist, a specialist in emergency medicine. She will often be better in an emergency than the corresponding specialist. If you have an emergency of any kind, you're probably better off being treated by an EM doc than by any other specialist.
Once the patient is stabilized and processed - call in the specialist to do their thing.
Thanks so much for sharing, Dr. Jubbal!!
Thank you for another super helpful, yet thorough video!
Jack of all trades, Master of time!
I hope I can possibly do this one day I’m not sure though
I’m 15 when I was 6 I saw somebody fall off a building and they got an arterial bleed on their head I helped them and got an ambulance
Once the ambulance was with them I walked halfway to were I was going and fainted so hopefully I would have gotten over that
I want to become an emergency medicine doctor in the future.
Great speciality! Surely will consider it!
Could you do paediatrician next?! i’m really struggling to see it being a doctor is right for me! i think i would be an amazing paediatrician but i don’t want to not have time to have a life? but i know it would be amazing, so i’m stuck in a dilemma!! any feedback from anyone would be great!!!
Please do an oncologist.
How about a similar series for nurses and dentists, considering they also have a really wide variety of specialties?
We have videos for So You Want to Be a Dentist and NP, but no further breakdowns of those medical paths.
Then what’s the difference of trauma and emergency surgeon
There is no such thing as an emergency surgeon. Trauma surgeon is generally a general surgeon (can be others) that undergoes a trauma/critical care fellowship. Also known as acute care surgeon.
I've been waiting for this, Doc. Thank you so much! 🙏💓
Great video Kevin. Thanks for doing it. Can you do one on becoming a family doctor/functional medicine doctor as that’s the route I’d like to go?
I think this may have changed my mind about becoming an anesthesiologist😱
Can you do one about Internal Medicine? Maybe explain the different routes like Acute Internal Medicine. That'd be great!
Can you do one "So you want to be an infectious disease specialist"
Watching this video made me excited.
Do "So you want to be an Oral and Maxillofacial Surgeon"
Forensic Pathologist and Primary Care
Could you do " so you want to be a psychiatrist " please?
MS2 rn. EM was already the number #1 seed (I'm biased as a paramedic), but with some other top seeds too. Still, you got me at the "always doing something" gig
You went into EM because you want the thrill of saving lives; I went into EM because of the uncompetitive residency and ease of landing a job.
So you want to be an INTENSIVIST?
I'm in 9th and I'm planning to do Emergency Medicine, glad I found this video!!
11th ki bio padhle pehle
@@shivanxh8491 ok thanks
I'd love to see "So you want to be a forensic pathologist/medical examiner.
