- Scrub into surgery with me!
Also yes, I am allowed to wear nail polish during surgery. Here is a really great paper on it if your curious:
The effect of nail characteristics on surface bacterial counts of surgical personnel before and after scrubbing by Hardy et al.
This study’s results showed that nail length, not nail polish, was the determining factor for bacterial quantities.

Could I have details of the paper please ? I’m a veterinary nurse in the uk . Thank you 😊

I am only 11 but I have been saying that I wanna be a vet like you since I was 4 and I admire you
I didn’t know you had to sanitize so much! I guess people can count on vets to always wash their hands, huh?
When doing surgery on anything you have to scrub alot cs of nasty bacteria
A surgeon is a surgeon whether they have humans or animals for patients because infection doesn't care who it kills.
@@mircat28 except…. Vets have a large knowledge about all the body and many species. Human surgeons usually specialize in 1 area.
@@TheSamSamShow She wasn’t speaking about any of that. She was just stating that just because she operates on animals doesn’t mean she doesn’t need to scrub in like you would for a human.
I don't understand this. What did you think, that vets operate on your pet with filthy hands or something? Sterilization and hygiene is number one rule for any successful surgery, regardless of who or what the patient is.
“Then i grabbed my phone and stopped the video and had to completely re-scrub”😂😂 thank you for your hard work❤️
Haha and then I asked my nurse to stop the recording #behindthescenes 🙈
Imagine that back when doctors first started doing surgery, they did it with their bare hands, and didn’t even wash their hands first. No wonder so many died from infection. Just by implementing hand washing saved a lot of lives!
Hey! I’m a young girl with the dream to become a large animal vet. I’m used to helping all the animals around the “farm” between giving horses shots and everything else! I just have to say I love your channel so much!
Thats awesome! I believe in you
I am so thankful for vets. My lil guy had to undergo patella surgery on his left hind leg about a year ago. It had come to the point that he couldn't keep it in place by shaking his leg like he'd got used to doing. We had a couple extremely scary events (he's allergic to some component in anaesthesia and he had an epileptic episode, so we had to reschedule surgery with a different anaesthetic just to be safe. I literally went to pick him up in fucking tears). It was SO scary, but I had full faith in the doc who was taking care of him. He's doing awesome nowadays. We still have to keep him from taking things too far (climbing a hill for too long) but other than that, he's like a whole new dog.
And people complain about wearing a mask for 20 minutes. Imagine doing this I could never do this, but they are doing so awesome if I’m not gonna lie.
I work as a kennel assistant in an animal ER hospital and surgery is always the most interesting room to clean lmao. Dogs swallow the most ridiculous things.
As a young girl in college to be a vet assistant this helps me so much so I can understand not only how different some clinics can be but also how to understand what the veterinary requires for surgery 😊
You are very important and appreciated.
Thank you for being as precarious as you would do for a human 😊😊🙌💞💕
Been working at a vet for 16 years now and I love it. Now my vet is 76 years old and I bet the times were different but he does exactly what she does but doesn’t scrub as much as she does! He simply washes hands then does the rest. How the times have changed!
I got to scrub into a few surgeries when I did work experience as an equine vet nurse. It was so exciting. We did an eye surgery, a colic surgery, and something else. It was one of the best experiences of my life all the patients recovered very well. I wish I was smarter and could become a vet. They let me actually help out. I got to winch the horse up on to the table. And did the suction for the colic. And I got to draw the blood for the plasma ointment we made for the eye surgery. The worst one I got to be a part of was a breach birth of a foal from my aunties stud that I worked at. The foal had to be dismantled inside the mare and removed piece by piece. I cried so much and realised I also don't have the heart for it.
Wow! It had to be removed piece by piece? Really? I’ve never heard of anything like that before 😳😳
That must have been so hard to watch! But all the more reason why we need vets with a heart as kind as yours! If you don’t want to become a vet because you don’t have the heart for it, that’s one thing, but if you’re only not doing it because you don’t think you’re smart enough, that’s not a good enough reason to not pursue it. You ARE smart enough to be a vet or anything else you want to be. If you’re willing to work and study hard you can totally do it! Sometimes our brains lie to us and try to convince us that we aren’t good enough or smart enough. But that a lie, because you absolutely are smart enough to succeed in whatever field you choose. You got this! God Bless!
Thank you so much for being so dedicated to the health and safety of your animals
I did a bit of aseptic lab stuff and getting into lab took like 10 minutes every time but I quite liked this whole process 😂 when you successfully wear your gloves with no struggle is soooooo satisfying!
I'm always amazed at how for we've come. In the grand scheme of things, it wasn't THAT long ago where people were getting surgical procedures right on their dining table 😅.
Just to think only about two generations ago they didn’t even wash their hands between surgeries, didn’t even wash their tools, and didn’t even know about germs.
wow, this is me realizing that id what my surgeon had to do, and operate on me of course, wow
I'm a surgical core tech, I'm the one who pulls instruments and med surg for surgeries for a well-known clinic in Minnesota. I also do all the cleaning of all instruments after use. Maybe you could do a video of your surgical techs doing the set up and tear down of your surgical suite. It might fascinate people to see that part as well.
I love animals 💖
Med student: processed to tie it him/herself
Attending: out! Get out!
So interesting! thanks for sharing!
Awe! God bless
This is so interesting! I’m currently doing my associates degree but once I finish I plan to go to another school to be a vet! I love animals and have three dogs myself so I like doing what I can for them! My female dog I give her shots every month for her leg! Can’t wait to be a vet!
Aww I didn't catch the Veterinarian until the end. It made sense as a human surgeon, but it's extra special to take such careful measure for the pooches too! Awww
The bacteria are the same and it doesn’t matter who the patient is - human or animal
This is rly interesting to see. It seems like the equivalent of scrub in for deliveries that human docs do. The general surgery scrub is a bit more intense. I got told to restart when my arms dropped a bit too much to pick up gloves and they wanted 10-20 per side instead of 5-10. Hospitals however are WAY dirtier than clinics with some rly scary bacteria.
That's mostly because humans carry way more types of bacteria than animals.
My dad was a vet for 40 years. I loved going to work with him as a kid. He’d let me scrub in with him and watch spays and neuters. It was a lot of fun having a dad that was a vet.
What is ur dream career?
This stuff irritated my skin 😩 I couldn’t get passed surgical tech school even if I wanted to
Wow! That is so big time difference from German protocol. Here you wash your hands for 30sec and then disinfect them for 3 Mins. Putting on the coat and gloves is all done in sterile environment aka the surgery room together with an already sterile hand gloved nurse etc
I love animals and I am considering going back to school for a job in the vet field. The only thing holding me back is I don’t know if I could handle the gore of it all, as well as not take the job home with me. Did/ do you struggle with either of these things? How did you know being a vet was right for you?
try shadowing or finding a job as a veterinary assistant. you can try out the field without committing to school like that!
I work in the vet clinic at an animal shelter and I'd be lying if I said we didn't see some horrible shit. I'm lucky enough to work with an amazing team though and I really think that's the key to being able to get through day after day and not take everything home with you at night. You inevitably still do sometimes though, so you really have to hold onto those good cases when they come. We joke that crying is part of the job description in the vet clinic but sometimes you do just need to take a good cry break and let it out.
As far as the gore, I've never been bothered by it personally although there are definitely some very strong smells that can be a bit difficult. For me, analyzing and trying to learn from science of each particular situation rather than viewing things as just superficially disgusting help a lot. I also highly recommend the other commenter's suggestion of becoming a VA. It'll really show you if it's the field for you or not.
Shadow or volunteer at a vet clinic if possible before investing time and cost to be a vet or vet tech. Expect to commit to ~8 yrs incl 4 yrs of university and 4 in vet school to earn Dr of veterinary medicine, or D.V.M. degree. Cost: avg 4 yrs vet school is $200,000+ for in-state and $275,000 for out-of-state plus 4 yrs college/university to qualify.
Vet techs associate’s degree cost: about $1,300-$12,000 for in-state tuition and resident fees or $8,000-$30,000 for out-of-state tuition and fees. Community colleges have lower tuition rates than state or private schools, ie Dallas costs $2,400 for residents or $8,280 for non-residents taking 6 semesters of 12 credits each.
All info easy to find online. Good luck what ever you choose.
I love itttt
Wow. I would die with my count tic during this procedure
Cool.
I want to be a vet when I get out of high school
I love it. I am a vet nurse, my sub you have. Oh how great I found your content
I LOVE THESE DAY IN THE LIFE AS A VET VIDEOS PLS MAKE MORE!!!!
Used to deliver all hospital supplies
Funny how different some put on sterile gloves! I only learned to put them whilst only touching the inside with my fingers..
Its my dream to become a vet I'm a sophomore in highschool and I'm preparing to go to college!
IM IN CHICAGO TOOOOO
💯
I'm debating on going to vet school. But I'm worried about hours. I'm disabled and can't work past a certain amount of hours without decreasing my quality of life. But I love to work I love to learn and animals have always been my passion. I guess I'll research more into it maybe there's a category of animal medicine that would be better for me
I live close to Chicago
I always wash my hands up to my elbows idk why but it feels cleaner
People underestimate how tedious this is.
Goddamn so that’s what my uncle does every surgery
I guess thats how to identify doctors when they are in public. Dry hands.
All I wanna know is what you use to moisturize
A question I’ve had for a very long time, what percent of your job do you thing is sad? And what percent brings you genuine joy? Ish of course
Hey I clean surgical theatres and scrub rooms at work. Why do the sinks get so messy!
In a vet hospital? Instruments are pre-cleaned, hands are cleaned, etc. in our sinks.
You scub better for your animals than the ones for humans well done 👏 ✔️
I think there should be a law that all surgeons must dramatically snap on their surgical gloves, like Frank N Furter in the Rocky Horror Show. #boujie
Well done. Have you heard of Vet Ranch, TH-cam channel?
Why is the soap orange sometimes like does that do anything different
When i become a doctor my hands is gonna be so clean. I might just scrub the melanin off me.😭
What ur advice on working as a vet my dream is to be a vet or nurse I have a disability but I really wnat to help animals and work with them
I’m just a little confused on why you have to wash your hands so much when you just put gloves on straight after
The gloves can tear
👏🏻👏🏻🥰
You probably wash your hands more often than most people from my school combined
Thought you could not have polish on nails? Is it because it gel or something? Missed the vet part first time round but jw
Check out the peer reviewed journal article in the caption👆🏼 it’s talks all about the do’s and dont’s of nail length be nail polish wearing 👍🏼
Growing up as a kid my favorite part was going to work with my dad on his veterinary surgery days and I always got to tie him in to his gown and as an adult sometimes when I visit him at work I still get to tie him into his gown after I’ve sterilized my hands up to my elbows it is one of my favorite childhood memories also watching him perform surgery is another childhood memory that I will never forget
Do your hands ever get dry
Chlorhexidine? Nate the Hoof Guy sprays that on cow hoof lesions🐄 I just think I'm smart cuz I recognized the word lol 😅
Pretty sure doctors in my country don't do that much..... including my father XD
I’ve watched Chicago med so much recently and I always thought it was weird how they kept their arms up after washing… the more you know… hmm
What happens if you are allergic to chx?
You use iodine scrub
@@BellaVet that makes since that's what they use on allergic patients
So can you have nail polish on?
I’m allergic to chlorhexadine, what would you use other then that? Usually I have to use iodine in place. Just curious 🙂
Iodine would be the next best thing to scrub with
Betadine scrub would be best for you then, however, the iodine stains your skin and clothes
Did you have a difficult time going through schooling to be at the vet position you are in? I’m very afraid because I recently thought maybe I could become a vet, but I heard that most medical students are depressed or experience extreme stress. I know you need medical experience to be a vet. I’m just worried.
wow, is this why medical peoples hands are so soft?
Similar to human medicine
I was Sixten when the school nurse told me i probably shouldn’t be a surgeon because I have so dry hands
Why do you need to wash your hands and wear gloves?
貴方は本職の女医先生ですか？
You live there to we are twins
Nail polish is a big no no! Wth??!!
Actually new studies have shown that nail length is the strongest determinant of bacterial counts and not the presence of nail polish! onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/vsu.12685 So I keep my polish new and my nails short to comply! Gotta love scientific advancements.
Nail polish is fine, nail extentions or any length that can pierce the glove is a no no
For a dog?
Uhm yes. They are vulnerable to bacteria as well just like human are. What would be the point in doing a surgery if you weren't going to be sterile and then give them a fatal infection?
But how you gon get your phone
God bless you all and Jesus is coming soon 🧡
