You hit the nail on the head. First surgery was in the IR suite for a uterine fibroid embolization. He said “you’re going to feel a slight pinch” and I was watching it. It was unusually warm in the operating room and I had the lead vest on. I was so close to having to sit down but I pumped my calf muscles, thighs, and glutes. Saved my life from embarrassment. Edit: I hate needles and giving blood. He said my trigger words and I was watching.
I am in school for surgical tech. I viewed a thoracotomy at work and was allowed to hold the patient’s heart, I had no weird reaction. Then I saw someone with an arterial bleed and I felt like I would faint. I am absolutely terrified of passing out in the OR.
I had observed many surgeries, even major ones, with no reaction at all. Then I did my first suture on an awake patient in the ER and fainted after two stitches. I don't know how something like that can happen...😅
I had my first near vasovagal episode while assisting with a grade 4 lip lac repair on a 4 y.o. She was given ketamine and I was standing at her head holding suction while the ED MD repaired the lac. My POV of the pt was upside down, overhead with her eyes rolling around in their sockets and the unrepaired lac undulating with every breath. I had to step out. The last two times were during clinicals for NP school. Once for a cyst removal where the sac was incredibly stuck, and I had to do a lot of blunt dissection, and the other was a large nevus on the tip of the nose that we punch bx'd and then scraped out. If I have to see the pt's face and they can talk to me, I will have a vasovagal response. I had no issue with any surgery that the face is draped off.
Hello Dr Buck..I had seen your video about diaphragmatic hernia..my question is if the diagphram is flat what food to eat or exercises to restore the diaphragms?
In third year i did ortho all summer, no problem, first operation in the next year i fainted 😂. Other than feeling hot i experienced tinnitus that lasted more than usual so that's an important symptom as well.
Any. But first person fast shooters like apex and call of duty are sooooo hard they will improve u very quick. There are also some “shooter trainers” that u can use for very cheap or free.
Hi Dr. Parker, I am a 79 year-old retired Veterinarian recently diagnosed with Paraesophageal hernia with Cameron lesions and anemia. I have lots of belching, and during some of these belching episodes, I will feel light-headed briefly, followed by a burp. Could this be a Vasovagal response caused by the gas bubble where the stomach is close to the heart and intimately associated with the Vagus nerve? This has happened for years and none of my physicians could explain it. I am consulting with a surgeon about the advisability of surgery on my hernia. My GERD disappeared about 5 years ago, so I think I've had the Paraesophageal hernia for awhile.
Yes i suppose it could be a vagus nerve activation, although I have not seen that in any of my patients it could make sense. Sorry i don't have a great answer for you. I do think it's a good idea to get your hernia fixed if possible. Hope you feel better!
Hey doctor. I watched your video on how to diagnose appendicitis. Have you come across anyone with back pain? With the appendix sometimes hiding behind i thought thats logical. Im not a doctor just a patient but ive been struggling for four years and im desperate for answers. Id appreciate any answer even if a no. Thank you for your time. I am seeing a 3rd doctor but im not going back until the 20th
Yes patients can have some back pain however most of the time appendicitis is very painful within 1-5 days until it bursts and u get very sick. Some do believe there can be chronic appendicitis that is low grade pain lasting for years but this is still a debate on whether it actually exists. Sometimes removing the appendix is sort of one of the last “tests” we do to see if that is the problem.
Hey, this is a weird question but how do people afford medical school. I work hard and maintain good grades and hold three jobs but still wound up 3000$ off. I'm just about to enter college and am already struggling 😔how did you manage? how did you pay for it and still have time to study?
You’re not able to work in medical school. You have to much going on. Most people get school loans, so you end up in debt. Some people end up 1 million in debt to become a doctor.
Good Day Sir. Dr please I need your assistance on something that has bothering me for many years now. Please can I have your email so I can explain to you. I did hernia as a child but I noticed that my testicle started shrinking and it’s totally gone and the left side testicle is also now half its size shrinking too. I have been to clinics but nothing changes and I have seem 3 different urologist for testicle but said no infection and I have done testicle ultrasound scan says no infection plus other tests. Now I’m feeling pain walking my foot hot and inching. Please Sir which doctor should I visit? Help me by responding to my request Sir. Thank you.
@@paulsdrc you assume a lot. The non-doctor, and the patient were friends. The patient dared the non-doctor to watch. And it was a small office procedure. People are so quick to judge and be defensive these days. Very interesting you are so comfortable being rude to someone who sacrificed much of his life for others! Have a great day! Or don’t…idgaf! lol

Excellent Video Dr. Parker!!!♥️ Thumbs Up 👍 and shared out.
Starting rotations in 3 weeks and I start with CT surgery. Thanks for the heads up!

Hello I'm a medical student how can i reduce my vasovagal syncope, i got attack all time when i see blood or operation please help me 😢😢😢
I fainted twice today watching someone have their tonsils removed 😢. Usually I’m not squeamish at all!
Watched child birth for the first time last week, my obstetrics teacher had to hold me from falling.
Why is the last ine a year ago?

Hi Dr. Buck, what videogames do you recommend to improve hand-eye coordination if you want to pursue a career in surgery? Thanks
Any. But first person fast shooters like apex and call of duty are sooooo hard they will improve u very quick. There are also some “shooter trainers” that u can use for very cheap or free.
@@drbuckparker Thank you for answering, you've been very helpful
Stop scaring me surgeon daddy 😢

Why no videos for a while ? I'm running out of things to listen to while i drive to work
He quit medicine. It seems he made a lot of money on crypto and is now just living his life
@@presto900Please how did you get this info? 😮
@@presto900 It's a shame he's not practicing anymore. Seems like he worked really hard to get to where he was.

Возможно, вы правы. Но!? 🤔
I fainted 😂
I want my New Car.
You took a nondoctor into the OR, did you even explain and ask the patient first. Wow, to be nice, that’s not cool. And definitely not professional.

Brilliant ❤
I went to shadow a surgeon performing some time ago and didn’t faint the first time lol
And most things can be overcome In life 😊
