    In this very long and niche video, I talk about my 2nd 4-month placement of being a doctor. I was on the geriatric (elderly) medicine team, and so I talk through an overview of what the speciality does, outline what a standard day looked like, and reflect on some learning points. Enjoy xx

    This was a great piece of reflection. I also remember my elderly rotation - it really taught me to look at patients as people rather than medical problems. They were probably my favourite kind of patients to look after. Mostly chatty and very appreciative to your work. I’m now a radiology registrar so that side of medicine has left me, but I look back fondly at those memories. P.s. always give a working diagnosis when requesting CT scans. We don’t like not-sure-o-grams ;)

  • @candice1481

    This was so interesting! I did my first ever work experience in a Geriatric ward last year, and I just remember being lost and bewildered, especially because I had never been in such an intensive hospital setting before. I literally had to take a step back to absorb and understand all that was happening. But it was a really eye opening experience, and introduced me to a lot of the things that you mentioned - ageing population, funding crisis, dealing with dementia and also made me appreciate the holistic nature of healthcare. So your vlog brought back memories of that and also put the role of allied healthcare professionals into perspective :) Thank you for this informative and candid vlog!

    I´ve worked as an associate nurse (several times as work experience) and I´ve met patients as a medical student walking with my doctor, and geriatrics always affects me differently from other specialties.
    Your tone and your way of speaking really showed that this specialty affected you.

The human body is just incredible and you’re so lucky to study it in such detail (a little jealous but not with the workload haha) Thank you for these videos and keep making this fantastic content!

    I work in Aged Care with dementia specific residents - it’s not just a job role, it’s a passion. Lewys Bodies is prob the most heartbreaking of dementia as the person has many moments of lucidity as the disease progresses. Kudos to you for the obvious respect and deeper understanding you showed towards the older person. It’s a team effort, but each part of the team needs to SEE the person, not a number.

    Very Impressed with your videos, first of all. I saw your videos on study methods and also on your use of Google Sheets for studying various topics. My question is this: How do you apply the Google Sheets method to daily practice cases? For example, one day I’ll see a renal failure case, along with hepatic lipidosis, etc. Throughout the day I will have a few things that come up that I want to cover or refresh my memory on. Would you recommend making a question for every bit of information that escapes me, or just a general review of the topic I.e renal failure? Once again, great work.
