26 HOUR CALL SHIFT with CODE BLUE EMERGENCY: Day in the Life of a Doctor

Join me for a 26 hour call shift in the hospital with code blue emergencies to find out what a day in the life of a doctor is really like!
I'm currently doing my internal medicine training and as a senior medical resident (SMR), I'm responsible for overseeing medical students and junior residents, admitting patients from the emergency department to the hospital, seeing consults in the hospital and running code blues (medical emergencies). There's never a dull moment!
Thank you SO much to the amazing medical students and residents who participated in this video!

[@megsmiracles]

Who needs caffeine when a Code Blue is called?! Wowza! That gets your HR up quick.

[@Starry_Night_Sky7455]

Meghan Bayer adrenaline has few negatives compared to caffeine

[@megsmiracles]

Bonnie Hundley Very true! All the codes I’ve been involved with (in EMS) have had me going on pure adrenaline for 4-6 hours minimum. I’m not a coffee consumer at all and caffeine actually makes me sick, so a good adrenaline surge was helpful when I was like dragging in the last few hours of a shift. But when that adrenaline crash comes... it really comes. Thankfully, I’m usually off by then!
