As a med student I once did an ENT internship in an Amsterdam hospital and helped a specicific patient. Months later, in a different Amsterdam hospital I was doing surgery and happened to see that same patient (for an unrelated cause). he was surprised and goed 'Doctor, you here too?' I told him: "yes, i was informed you were going to be here so I just wanted to make sure you got the best treatment". Surgery went well and he was convinced it was because of me.

My mum was an emergency doctor for over a decade, with a full decade of it working in the largest hospital in a rural area, and she now works as a general practitioner. Every time I send her one of your videos she absolutely loves them and always says how accurate and real they are. I grew up hearing horror stories from her shifts in the emergency department.
@@alosialee I'm so grateful that I have charted my weight and kept a journal of my symptoms all these years so I can bust out the logs from when I was 20lbs lighter showing my issues have existed for years. Not that many doctors would listen to patient-reported anything, but it helps keep me sane when they keep claiming it was things it isn't.
As someone who's had way too many interactions with EMS, I've always found this attitude very reassuring, way moreso than the doctors who then swoop in and act like they know more about my body than I do. That just makes me more anxious, because arrogance means you're more likely to miss something. Give me a "you're probably not about to code" in a speeding ambulance over "nothing's going to happen, calm down" any day.

@@KooblyK yeah. If they are aware they are guessing we can guess together and work as a team to find out what’s wrong. I get some patients go overboard, since arrogant patients also exist along with arrogant medical professionals, but that doesn’t mean healthcare workers should ever listen to any patients ever. Give me reassurance sure, but honest reassurance. Like you said “your not likely to code at the moment” vs “everything will be ok” because no one can obviously know that and it just makes it seem like there’s nothing else to say because things are so bad.
I don’t even work in medical but it’s the exact same in IT. We’re paid to guess what the problem could be and throw everything at the wall till it sticks.

In Croatia, med school exams are mostly in 2 parts, first you have multiple choice written exam with questions like these and then if you pass you get to have an oral exam. Usually there are 5 possible answers, sometimes the question will be "which of the following statements are correct", one of the answers will be along the lines of "a+c" and even "none of the answers are correct".
In our exams at med school we get some questions written like this: "the following are not true, except?" And then we get the 'a+b' and 'all of the above/none of the above' as part of the four multiple choice answers. The fifth option is always "I do not know", because if you pick the wrong answer you get hit with negative marking! - Zambia
@@bowdennthani732 -- I don't know if they still do the grading this way, but 30-40 years ago you were better off leaving a question blank if you truly did not know, because not only did you not get the points for the missed right answer, but they **deducted** a certain percentage on top of it for every wrong answer. So instead of a wrong answer being zero points, it was like negative 0.5 points.
Having been seriously misdiagnosed several times - including being referred to a dermatologist to deal with my severe skin itching problem when I was actually experiencing liver failure, and being told that I had just pulled a muscle in my leg and needed to rest it when I was actually in the early stages of shingles, which by the time it was discovered made it too late to treat with antivirals and left me with excruciating pain down my leg for six weeks - my experience is that some doctors are very, very bad at multiple-choice tests.
I would not be surprised if the dermatologist was the one who finally ordered labs related to chronic pruritus, and found the liver issue. Despite the "Pimple Popper, MD" jokes, because of how competitive dermatology residencies are, derms tend to have been some of the "gunners" of their med school classes, who memorized all the minutia so they could maintain the high test scores and AOA status needed to secure that residency. This would have required some luck, and being there for another issue by coincidence, but had you seen the dermatologist early in the course of shingles, they probably would have suspected this from the dermatomal distribution of your symptoms, and prescribed an antiviral rather than written it off as a pulled muscle. Even before the rash started to show up. For that matter, a dermatologist definitely would have known right away that the granulation tissue in the wound bed from this video relates to the actions of VEGF.
@@purplehue434Patients are confused and don't understand medicine being mostly trial and error, or that doctors are conditioned into assuming common before all else to prevent potentially unnecessary harm through testing. We're on the outside looking in through frosted glass that hasn't been cleaned in decades. That, in addition to humans being emotional creatures with many having a predisposition to presume the worst in others, leads to very low chances of keeping positive relations with a patient if something goes wrong.

My wound care doctor and nurses are so awesome 😎 I had dry gangrene develop last year because of septic shock treatment and it was fascinating 🧐 to watch the healing process, my hands and feet still have some profound nerve damage and my toes are mostly numb and I lost a couple toes to the blood circulation issues related to the treatment of septic shock, they had to use 3 different pressors to keep me alive 😢 and I was in a medical coma for 13 days while the amazing doctors and nurses got my body to step up and recognize it has to heal, I had MRSA-pneumonia sneak in because I was severely immunocompromised at the time from rheumatoid arthritis meds 😢
I guess correctly, but only because vascular sounde like veins and blood, something that would be involved in a third degree burn. Now my care would just consist of cooling and cleaning the wound the first 6 hours, mayby some antibiotics and if they are nice to my staff some pain killers. If they wanna leave the hospital they can with a note that says how to clean wound, how often and what bandage to use. Can i apply to your doctors office now or should i go to med school first, I have my own bone saw if that changes anything
This is so funny to me because when my mom was 23-24 she accidentally broke a pot that had boiling water in it and it spilled down her leg and burned her😂
I study medicine and my school recently switched most of the oral exams to no prepraparation. Which is fine like in a classes, where knowing or not might cost patients life. But biochemistry man. Nobody in history of medicine died because you couldn't draw structure of corticosterone on the spot.
Everything that has to do with wounds is dealt by nurses in my country (we only have the equivalent of RN and up). As a nurse I appreciate your content a lot because of videos like this
I used to think multiple choice assessment ins medicine were a bade idea for basically this reason. Either it isn't important enough to know, or its important enough that you should be able to answer it outright as a short answer question, right? The more I thought about it though, the more I realise that multiple choice questions simulate something very real, which is recognition. If I ask you "have you watched movie x before?" Thats a pretty easy questiton to answer, but if I ask you "list every movie you've watched" thats basically impossible. As a junior doctors, theres some things you should know off the top of your head, but a LOT of things thay you just need to recognise the gist of. What is the first line antipsychotic medication? Idk, im sure there was one than started with O and another with R. Lemme look it up. Oh yeah Risperidone and Olanzapine. Of course. Multiple choice questions assess whether you are a short google search away from being confidently competent.
