Thank you for this precious video. I want to pursue a surgical specialty and you are a huge inspiration to me. Your video has such a positive impact that you have no idea, especially because you show human dilemmas and not the idea that we are robots. Thank you so much for taking time out of your day to record this vlog, thank you from the bottom of my heart. I wish that in this final stretch you feel more fulfilled every day and are proud of how much you overcame the obstacles to become the sensational surgery that you are. Thank you, really.
Congrats on completing residency. I work in a hospital as a Unit Clerk (Waiting for med school acceptance :/ ) and I see how hard some of the surgery residents work. Looks pretty brutal at times. Good job
Wow! First thing that impresses me is your demeanor. I'm used to surgical residents, especially females, having a very hard exterior (out of necessity). Kudos to you for maintaining humility and grace. Secondly, I want to comment about your husband, James. I'm assuming he is not a surgeon. Thank goodness so that he is able to support you!! James is AMAZING. Thank you for sharing your journey despite how chaotic and hectic it is. In the long term, it will all have been worth it.
Watching this as I take Day 3 of 17 straight days of call which makes me feel better by comparison lol. Wish I had residents! Could you please talk more about the type of cases you are doing? Thanks BTW I love hoe genuine and real your videos are compared to others who just try to be entertaining .
You did a good job of communicating the struggle of an on call weekend, it was also very visible. To be honest, it was almost as if we were on the emotional journey with you (when you felt tired, I remembered I am too lol). Timestamps would have been great! Keep up the great work! 👍
New sub!! Funny enough I had a femoral endarterectomy in November (7 hours no less) in a non-teaching hospital. Excellent physicians, small community hospital (I am use to working in a large hospital like where you are at) and it went really well. Love your vlog and congratulations on the last of your residency!! Attending here you come!! (Your husband cooking ❤️ and your pup is adorable!!) I recognized your logo! When you talk about jinxing I get that so well!!
Bad call weekend makes for great vlog, ty for your commitment to capturing the behind the scenes. Best bits are def your time spent with Chef James and Pax. Oh and as a hospitalist, ty for coming in middle of the night and improving pt outcome. Look forward to watching your last wknd on call as a chief in the near future...?
Haha, best times are definitely with James and Pax! Thanks for always being available to help us surgeons with the complex medical issues 🫡 will try and capture the last one!
ok im just going to put all my comments into one comment 1. if NDMD follows you, so do i 2. EARLY CONGRATS ON YOUR GRADUATION!!! 3. it's so incredible seeing all these female surgeons on youtube!! America, Daisy, and now i've found YOU! so happy. 4. i love your watermelon and oranges scrub cap!!! so so cute.
This cycle I matched Georgetown for an advanced specialty starting in 2025! Unfortunately were gonna miss each other but hope Georgetown was good to you and congrats on finishing!
24 hour call followed by resting up for a brief amount of time before jumping in my jet to fly to a different city for another 24 hour call = $1.1m as a crna 🤔
It's home call, so I have to be available but not always at work. Depends on how busy it gets. One of my prior call weekends I was mostly at home. If it does get to be truly nonstop with emergencies and cases, there are backup plans in place
Forgive me if I'm wrong, but I'm assuming you're a surgeon. I'm sorry your training was too difficult and that you didn't feel like you had enough rest. Just because something was more difficult in the past doesn't mean it was better, or that it needs to still be that way.
@@YangYangMD You are so gracious. I'm glad silasketgaskets cleared up that comment was sarcasm. If anything, I think surgical residency is MUCH MUCH harder than 30 years ago. Medicine in general is becoming more advanced and technical. Possibilities are endless these days for intervention. People who would have easily died 30 years ago are now being kept alive with more and more absurd, desperate measures resulting in longer life spans but not necessarily better quality of life :(
the return of the QUEEN
Omgggg 🫶 inspired by you! Can't wait to hear about and watch you grow during residency!
I love how supportive your husband and pup are!! 💜
Can't do what I do without him!

I'm a hospital social worker in NY. So inspired by the work you do! You are amazing

Your scrub caps are so cute!! Would love to know where you got them from. :) I'll be at GT for a MIGS elective as a MS4 this upcoming fall

Thank you very much! I added time stamps to the start of each clip but will consider keeping them throughout ◡̈

Hehe thank you! Big fan of Andy 😊 maybe he'll be in a vlog one today
You are very professional. I can tell from my instincts. Good work 👍
Watching you work so hard at your job is motivating me to get through my med school resits ❤
You got this! Good luck!
@@YangYangMD ❤️
@@YangYangMD just found out i passed my exams! 🥳
Omg. Yang-Yang vlogs?!?!?! Found my weekend binge.
Thanks for watching!! Trying to get back into it 🙂
yay
Good Luck and thanks !
Congratulations 🎉hope you like your new journey! I’m exciting to seeing more about your attending content from now on.
Thank you so much!!

Best of luck! I had a great time and you will too!
I love your videos!
Thank you 😊
You are so inspiring ,god bless
great vlog! tough weekend... whats the plan post residency? Hope you let us know in one of your videos!
Soon!! Thanks for watching!
Thanks for sharing your matcha choice, will give it a try!
I'm a big fan, but it can be sweet so just a fyi!
What was the midnight case? Aortic dissection?
24 hour call followed by resting up for a brief amount of time before jumping in my jet to fly to a different city for another 24 hour call = $1.1m as a crna 🤔
Take care thanks for you Doctor 🙏 you are excellent 💕
omg ur cat scrub cap is so cute
Hehe thanks!!
Agreed! I need to find it myself for work 😂
As an incoming 2nd year MD student, Id love to hear how you made yourself competitive for an integrated vascular surgery’s program
That's on the list of planned videos!
Subscribed! Inspirationall!! Can't wait to see more!! >:D
Thank you!!! Hoping to keep this up!
Also like how you respect the Q word! Based on buys you are I am guessing you work at a lvl 1 trauma center?
lol I love how all the doctors doing TH-cam drive a Tesla
👍👍
Is your Husband also in the Medical field?
where did you get the watermelon scrub hat from?
It's from blue sky scrubs! A few years old
So you could possibly work 60 hours straight ???
No, that wouldn't ever happen. It would be impossible to be effective as a cashier with over 2 days of no sleep, let alone a doctor.
It's home call, so I have to be available but not always at work. Depends on how busy it gets. One of my prior call weekends I was mostly at home. If it does get to be truly nonstop with emergencies and cases, there are backup plans in place
let's go CHEF
Yes chef!!! 🫡
If you told me you were 15 ,I would believe it.
😂
60h call ?!?! How does this work
I explain it more in my video! It's home call so I'm not at the hospital for the entire time but I'm expected to be available
Loved the vlog! Keep it up
Thank you! Definitely going to try!

I'll defer to James ahaha!
looks too well rested for a surgery resident. seems residency has become too easy nowadays compared to 30 years ago when we did it.
