You’re one badass girl. Watching this made me so glad I didn’t do a surgical residency. Speaking for all the ER docs- thanks for all your hard work. Never goes unnoticed.
I work in the health field myself. No Healthcare worker should work over 17 hours at a time. That should be illegal. That's when something can go wrong and lawsuits etc etc. Healthcare system has to change in general. Overworking people and when something goes wrong then its a problem.
I kinda laughed at the “120 day on call” comment, but even 120 hours of being on call is crazy. You are such a trooper and still find the energy to go to the gym after your long hours and still answering work messages. You’re awesome!
Great video, you make the hospital look so much less scary. If I ever needed surgery, I would prefer a happy positive doctor over a grumpy one any day!
Absolutely incredible. To think about all in time, energy, long hours sleepless nights etc just to have the knowledge and ability you and Drs. alike have is unreal. To have the knowledge of how to use machines, medicines, tools the list goes on and on is unfathomable. The schooling and staying up to date on all the current medicines and procedures as well as all the paperwork, phone call, emails is something else. I complain about my 8 hour day at work quite often. And you drive an SRT.
You’re such an inspiration Dr. Daisy! Is it possible for you to make a video about your journey in medical school and how you got into medical school and what the process was like? I am a current college student and I plan on taking the MCAT spring 2023 and I would love to know how you encountered all the struggles!
I remember when I was a kid I wanted to be a doctor but too expensive so I went for engineering instead. 🎉 pays the bills. Thank you for taking us through your routines! Watching from Houston,TX🤙🏻🤟🏻
Love the video, it's just the sound effects were too much. I aspire to become a general trauma surgeon. 🙏🏼 It's so nice to see another latina in the field because it's rare. Keep it up you're doing great!!!
I can’t wait to get my hands on a DaVinci 😏. This is the best video I’ve seen on TH-cam so far of what to expect on call as General Surgery resident without all the usual doom and gloom.
Epic is giving me flashbacks 😅 Wait! I commented too early... lol Hospital plumbing must suck everywhere.. The hospital I used to work at had 2 BAD leaks. One was in MRI... imagine that panic. The other was in OP registration where a mystery liquid dripped down on my lip 🤮 Then noodles (??) came pouring down (cafeteria was above). Thank God no patients were around! You're giving me all kinds of flashbacks, Doc! 😂
Thank you! I would say - don't stress. Do your best and take it one day at a time. A career is amazing but not if it takes your life away from you. Always remember that living a life you love comes first.
I am a bit confused about this 120-hour on-call situation. I know of the 80-hour work limit, yet you seem to have to come in on your days off too for the conference post call on top of all of this? How do you sleep on this 5 day 24 hour call? How do you study? Does only this program make you come in post 80 or is this pretty much the norm for general surgery residency??
Omg I literally love this!! How exciting! I can really tell that you love gen surgery when you’ve barely slept but you’re still smiling and joking around, or maybe it’s just that your personality is awesome😂 It’s so nice to watch a video with a doctor that isn’t complaining or dreading their shift (that’s fine too, it’s a really hard job) this just reminded me of how exciting medicine really is. Thank you!!
I want to encourage all medical workers out there, as a surgical nurse i have been loving my profession in nursing and have worked in two countries , just keep doing what you love irrespective of the location. In addition to having a good profession it also helped in my strategic investing plans that allowed me to purchase my third home, supporting my retirement goals.
It's essential to comprehend the complexities of investing. Having a trustworthy support system, such as a financial adviser, who can advise you is crucial, especially when choosing assets.

Found you on TikTok and as a fellow 3rd year gen surgery resident (in an European country) your videos have been really interesting to watch! I was wondering - during the time on call do you perform all the surgeries yourself (with or without an attending) or do you mainly assist? Do you have a set of rules as to which procedures a 3rd/4th/5th year can perform themselves? We don't even have robotic surgery here so that seems reallt advanced to me already 😄
Hey! Thank you for watching and taking the time to comment! Honestly - it varies quite a bit from rotation to rotation. Some rotations we do more and others less. I definitely have done cases from start to finish but when the cases are more complex I am first assisting! There are no definitive rules but there are cases we have to have logged prior to completing residency!
@@thedaisysanchez Thank you for answering! Looking forward to your next videos! ❤️ noticed I hadn't subscribed - oops 😳 - fixing that mistake right away!
@@hailey_0014biologically your brain cannot function well without enough sleep, no amount of training or caffeine will keep your brain running optimally. After 24 hours without sleep your coordination is equivalent of a .1% BAC, higher then the legal limit for driving. And certainly higher then what you should be at to preform surgery (0.0%)

Gym Rat: Hi I am a gym rat. What you do for a living? Dr. Daisy: I am a Surgery Resident. Gym Rat: What movie is that? Dr. Daisy: Never mind just give a spot. 🤣🤣
Hey Doc, I noticed you had a number of hernia repairs. Was wondering if all or most of them had a common cause, if so, what it was? And your lady patient at 12:52, What was the cause of her volvulus?
Hi Daisy, I have a question with you working all those hours is that healthy and is it safe being that you will performing surgery and you need well alert and rested. It reminds me when truck drivers would drive long period of time and not its against the law and that also goes for pilots. I wouldn't want any surgeon to operate on me without a good night rest. Isn't that a safety issue?
How do you manage to go home after working all day till 11 in the night ans then waking up at 5 1. Hows thst possible 2. Arent you afraid of falling asleep by mistake 3. What happens if theres a emergent case whilst youre asleep
Loved the video! Just curious, are you allowed to wear a little bit long nails? In our country they are sooo strict about that, especially when you are an MD student 😅
It's a cool video to watch and see how much work you have 😅 One thing that really stands out though is your nails, how are you allowed to have your nails done while you're working..? That's a really big risk for spreading bacterias.. 😕
In india you have to be on-call for 24 hours all 3 years of your Residency, Your Seniors can call you anytime during these 3 years There are aslo 36 hours duty shifts and It Really Becomes Toxic Alot of Times I Heard A Guy Got Serious problems In his Legs and alot of lymphadema so he went through a surgery of his whole legs Because besides his own duty he was also working in place of His Seniors as a part of Ragging Otherwise the Seniors won't teach you nothing It becomes Toxic Alot Of Times And They have to go through exams also so It is Really Tough
Doesn’t the acgme have guidelines that keep residents from working hours like this? Are people too afraid to report their program if it ignores the guidelines?
That’s what I was thinking. I thought the max you could work was 80 hours a week. Maybe it’s different because it was just “on call” not like that makes it easier.
I’m a PA and actually in my family med job (which I left last November) we had call as well. About 4 times a year. It would switch between PAs and NPs and the physicians would be on there only if we needed them. Otherwise we got all of the calls. This was a week straight, while we were working and those weeks we were on call we also worked half day Saturday so 5.5 work days plus 7 days of call. The call did not start until clinic was over so 5pm-7am was call. So stressful and I was bringing my laptop everywhere (including the gym). It was actual patients so we would have to call the patients back, figure out what’s going on, and then give them our advise, or prescribe meds, sometimes order labs if it was a Covid concern, etc. Now I’m looking to switch into gen surg.. and a job for a PA was just posted two days ago. Just hoping I get my new state licensing number before they find someone 😂 hoping this week. I started my application in April when we knew we were moving.
You’re one badass girl. Watching this made me so glad I didn’t do a surgical residency. Speaking for all the ER docs- thanks for all your hard work. Never goes unnoticed.
Thank you! & thank you for all you do! I honestly step one foot in the ED and I'm already overwhelmed! Respect to your profession!
Man I can’t wait to get into school to become a doctor it’s so much you have to do it’s literally never boring
Never boring, for sure!
Me too!
Yes! I want to be a dermatologist!!
How u did, could u get into?
Lol it’s so exhausting too 😢
I am amazed how you went to the gym after a 13 hour call. You’re amazing lol. I hope to be a surgeon like you one day.
I work in the health field myself. No Healthcare worker should work over 17 hours at a time. That should be illegal. That's when something can go wrong and lawsuits etc etc. Healthcare system has to change in general. Overworking people and when something goes wrong then its a problem.

You’re such a motivation! Love you 💕💕
Thank you!
Love you!!!
Epic is giving me flashbacks 😅
Wait! I commented too early... lol Hospital plumbing must suck everywhere..
The hospital I used to work at had 2 BAD leaks. One was in MRI... imagine that panic.
The other was in OP registration where a mystery liquid dripped down on my lip 🤮 Then noodles (??) came pouring down (cafeteria was above). Thank God no patients were around!
You're giving me all kinds of flashbacks, Doc! 😂
eres una inspiración 💕💕luv these kind of videos
You are incredible!!!
I love these types of videos 🥰
please give some love to your sterile processing team! was a tech before entering med school and it makes me so much more mindful of them.
Just discovered your channel and loving it 😍❤️
GREAT VIDEO, THANKS FOR SHARING
when you talked about the water falling from the ceiling i literally thought about greys anatomy because there’s an episode where that happens 😂
I'd be less worried about the leak and more afraid about the fact that my surgeon is operating on 4 hours of sleep!
How is this still legal??
You are awesome!! keep up the good work and if you have any tips for high schoolers interested in the surgical field please share!!!
Thank you! I would say - don't stress. Do your best and take it one day at a time. A career is amazing but not if it takes your life away from you. Always remember that living a life you love comes first.
The more I watch the more I like her!
You are super woman!! I’m tired just watching you on day 1 🤣 amazing!!
Love these vlogs 💖 looking forward to moreeee 🥰
Thank you! I will definitely continue to make more as I learn the TH-cam world a bit more!
This is awesome!
I loved this video!! Please do more ❤️❤️❤️❤️
I will definitely plan on making more!
Great video 👍
Watching this as an ICU RN. Thank you for what you do!🫶
Love your videos

you do a lot of hernia repairs as a third year general surgery resident!
I’m inspired 🎉😊
Omg I literally love this!! How exciting!

I would not want any medical professional that has been on call for more than twelve hours.
Amen!
Disagree. This is what they are trained to do. Just the same way everyone has different habits and schedules this is how some people function best.
@@hailey_0014 so why are thousands of patients injured in hospitals every year. Fatigue is one of the reasons.

There is a video on youtube abut a woman who was training in Surgery at Johns Hopkins in 1999. She was on call for 3 days straight!!
I can't wait to be a surgeon
GoOd CofFeE .... jokes aside, thanks for making this video!
Glad you enjoyed it! Thank you for watching!

Hey Doc,
I noticed you had a number of hernia repairs. Was wondering if all or most of them had a common cause, if so, what it was?
And your lady patient at 12:52, What was the cause of her volvulus?
So there isn’t a cap on on call hours. I thought it was 80 hours. I am asking from curiosity. Is it extra hours or bc you’re a chief resident?
Hi Daisy, I have a question with you working all those hours is that healthy and is it safe being that you will performing surgery and you need well alert and rested. It reminds me when truck drivers would drive long period of time and not its against the law and that also goes for pilots. I wouldn't want any surgeon to operate on me without a good night rest. Isn't that a safety issue?
Hi! Do you also operate, or "just" prepare the patients and examine them before the needed operation? Thank you:)
Pre-med student here
- Is the leaking roof something you tell the patient post op or do you not mention it at all since nothing happened?
How do you manage to go home after working all day till 11 in the night ans then waking up at 5
1. Hows thst possible
2. Arent you afraid of falling asleep by mistake
3. What happens if theres a emergent case whilst youre asleep
@18:51 where can I get more of this?
Just a little question i though the law of ACGME did not permit residents to work more than 80 hours per week
Loved the video! Just curious, are you allowed to wear a little bit long nails? In our country they are sooo strict about that, especially when you are an MD student 😅
Lol dunkin donuts rise and shine! 😅 120 days of on call, yes girl, keeping it real☺️😅 Love 🙌🏾😍
8:05 is that sign refering to the Doctors or the sugery machiene? I assume it's refering to you but why is it walking like that in the picture. 🤔
3:27 made me laugh so hard
Day 3 be hitting different! What a champ! 😆
OMG I bet the colostomy reversals are so fun!
What scrubs do you wear? Does your team have a rule that everyone wears green?
i dont work at any hopital but love sugrey you in miami you said
It's a cool video to watch and see how much work you have 😅
One thing that really stands out though is your nails, how are you allowed to have your nails done while you're working..? That's a really big risk for spreading bacterias.. 😕
5 days on call is wild!
Is this in San Antonio Texas?
In india you have to be on-call for 24 hours all 3 years of your Residency, Your Seniors can call you anytime during these 3 years
There are aslo 36 hours duty shifts and It Really Becomes Toxic Alot of Times I Heard A Guy Got Serious problems In his Legs and alot of lymphadema so he went through a surgery of his whole legs Because besides his own duty he was also working in place of His Seniors as a part of Ragging Otherwise the Seniors won't teach you nothing It becomes Toxic Alot Of Times And They have to go through exams also so It is Really Tough
looks exhausting holy moly... how much sleep do you get on average?
I want to get soooo bad in med school but here in Europe it’s so hard to get in med school and this makes me so depressed and sad
Doesn’t the acgme have guidelines that keep residents from working hours like this? Are people too afraid to report their program if it ignores the guidelines?
That’s what I was thinking. I thought the max you could work was 80 hours a week. Maybe it’s different because it was just “on call” not like that makes it easier.

How did you survive 120 hours. That is so dangerous.
have u ever done surgery on a fan?

Are you doing the surgeries or assisting with them?
Do you have any videos that talk about the different pays different types of doctors get? I’ve alwYs been curious
idk how this motivated me to study
Que significa exactamente estar en 120 hts on call? Es decir estas de turno todo ese tiempo?
Even though you explained how its legal I still don't get it. I'm not a doctor here but I'm pretty certain this would not be legal in Australia.
