A Day In The Life Of A General Surgery Resident

Hey guys! I finally filmed a day in the life of a resident while on a general surgery rotation. Join me for a crazy & busy day! :)

[@spicysalsa45]

You’re a surgeon and you still post more consistently than most KZbinrs I know😂 your work does not go unappreciated!

[@thedaisysanchez]

Thank you! I still have a lot to learn editing wise but just trying to show you guys a little bit of the life!

[@HappyGirl92593]

Really? I see a lot of KZbinrs post a video every single day of their day and life. 🤷🏻‍♀️

Uh, this is actually an indicator that she's not doing her work.

This is honestly the best day in life of surgeon i saw where there clips of actual hospital setup not just them talking talking and talking and telling their day ij life while sitting at home

[@JackFrem-rz4nd]

I want to encourage all live savers out there since I, as a surgical nurse, have been loving my profession in nursing. In addition to having a happy profession, my strategic investing plans have allowed me to purchase my third home, supporting my retirement plans

[@SteveJim-pg3fv]

Wow, interesting indeed! Currently I'm in need of investment ideas or tips. Earlier this year I hesitated and failed to take any action until now. However, I'm determined to try some new as I am very open to various investment ideas . I want to be retired in my forties or fifties. I really wish I can achieve what you have achieved and I believe it will happen

[@JackFrem-rz4nd]

It's essential to comprehend the complexities of investing. Having a trustworthy support system, such as a financial adviser, who can advise you is crucial, especially when choosing assets.

[@SteveJim-pg3fv]

Thank you for your advice, it's challenging to find a reliable investment advisor here. Seeing the success you have achieved through investing I would love to have access to your investment advisor.

[@JackFrem-rz4nd]

I operate with (ALEX MARTIN TARLOR) an investment specialist who partners with a licensed wealth management firm. For the record, his experience has been the best for my finance

[@SteveJim-pg3fv]

I googled his name and found his website where I saw his qualifications and testimonials that looked impressive with many positive reviews , I have already reached out to him to discuss my financial goals , thanks you for pointing me to the right direction

[@curie1677]

That's so exciting I'll be in first year of med school by June 24 🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉 Hope my journey will be as exciting as yours

[@apriliagayatri1730]

it's amazing to see many doctors here in youtube, start their day early in the morning.. i mean.. some of you wake up at 4 am, 5 am and start the day in hospital at 6am.. wow.. i just woke up that time..

[@vivek27789]

Honestly hats off to you for being a 3rd year surgical resident and while simultaneously being a mom of a 3 year old....One day your daughter will be so proud of u and going through the hell of surgical residency will be worth it..Bless U🙏

[@smellypatel5272]

I'm an M1 but want to have kids around the time I start my residency. Not sure what I want to do, but I hope to make it work like she does

[@vivek27789]

@@smellypatel5272 Well if you are a woman then it is hundred times more difficult to have a kid just when you are about to start a surgical residency as compared to a man. My fiancee is a neuropathology fellow and before we met when she was just starting her anatomic pathology residency she got pregnant and decided to abort the child...But her decision to abort the child also ended her then relationship.

[@thedaisysanchez]

Thank you so much! It's definitely hard but honestly I'm so happy that I get the opportunity to enjoy my daughter and do what I love!

[@smellypatel5272]

Hey doc idk if you're comfortable discussing this, but I figured I'd ask since I'm an M1 who's interested in GS. I've heard that the reality of the lifestyle when you're an attending can be brutal and often times you're relegated to a handful of procedures while the rest get handed off to specialists. I'm also concerned about compensation which doesn't seem to be the greatest relative to the time you're spending in the hospital. Can you comment on any of that? Thanks

hey not sure if ill get a response but what age would I be when I become a first year surgical resident because I'm thinking about pursing surgery and I am not sure how old ill exactly be because I feel kinda scared if I end up wasting a good portion of my 20's to pursue this.

She is hot and knows it....reminds me of my pain doc .....im 65.....she was 46 and looked 25 and more like a model than one of the highest paid doctors in the hospital....not everybody can be a doc ....i could not....i dont work well with people.....i was a programmer and then server sales for IBM.....beside your life is 25 percent or more over before you start....I went to ASU with a math degree and minor in computer science in 79.....then i got a MBA from U of T in S.A. in 87.....good luck to all you future docs!....you earned it

[@ElizabethUkeh]

I wonder how she lives. How did she manage pregnancy and birth while doing residency? Does she have a relationship with her partner and child? Does she have any free time at all?

[@grandelovess]

hello! i am 13 years old and i want to be a general surgeon, cardio thoracic surgeon, or a cardiopulmonary surgeon! and i was just wondering if you mostly do robotic surgery’s? and if you so robotic surgery’s by yourself or if you have an attending present while you do them?

[@pascalschrettl7535]

Honest question, I am a 4th year med student in Germany. The attendings would go rlly mad and deny you to assist in the surgeryif somebody came in with nails not cut short. Is that different in the States, cause I saw your nails aren’t that’s short and kinda edgy. Best regards - great video

You’re days are long but you still look great and don’t seem tired but I’m sure you crash as soon as you get home. I’ve had surgery only twice in my life but the hospital staff always are so nice and helpful and treat all the patients with care and explain what they’ll be doing in surgery. I love that when I’m in the waiting area before surgery, they talk to me, we joke and they made me feel at ease, plus just praying helps me feel calm. When I had to go in for a lumpectomy five years ago for stage 1 breast cancer, my first surgery ever (I was 52 at the time), I had to get on that really narrow surgery bed (I really thought I would fall off during surgery! Lol.. but I was just fine before surgery but as soon as wheeled into the surgery room on the gurney bed.. I wanted to cry, I was scared. After I had to get on the surgery bed, one of the nurses who helps in the surgery room, I told her I was scared. She held my hands and prayed for me.. after that I don’t remember anything and it seem to happen so fast. I was an outpatient so my mom and my husband waited for me in the waiting room and my husband took good care of my mom and they took me home by 7p.m. I was fine and groggy and my mom cooked dinner for us.. Her version of Goulash, the Mexican way! Lol.. it’s like spaghetti but with elbow macaroni with a little salsa added, not too spicy after my surgery, great comfort food. To my surprise, I wasn’t in any pain and didn’t need pain meds! I just took Tylenol when I needed to. But no pain and I had some kind of skin glue instead of stitches. I so appreciate all the people working in the medical field and all the long hours they put in. 💖😁

[@thedaisysanchez]

That's amazing to hear! I am so glad that you had a good experience and thank you so much for sharing a little bit of your story with me! I think we - as health care providers have to remember that even though we do this every day for each patient this may be the only time you ever have surgery. & it's ok to feel scared! It's our job to provide you with all the information going into surgery so that you are at ease! Again - thank you so much for sharing and I'm so glad you had a good experience. I hope you are and continue to do well! :)

As someone going into the surgical technologist role I have so many sterile questions. I thought we cant have long nails past fingertips in OR? Or makeup etc.? Also, how do you film when being scrubbed in?

[@roxannamendoza4586]

CST here. I would have been kicked out the OR if I had lash extensions. I guess she can do what she wants but I personally wouldn't compromise patient safety over my own vanity.

[@SamanthaD89]

@@roxannamendoza4586how does having lash extensions make a person vain? And how is that compromising patient safety? This comment is ridiculous. There are people with naturally long eye lashes.

[@roxannamendoza4586]

I am obviously not talking about those people who have natural eyelashes. And to comment that is crazy because hers are definitely extensions. Eyelashes harbor bacteria and can fall into an open wound. Fake or not. But the whole point of not wearing nails and lashes into the OR is to minimize the risk of surgical site infection.@@SamanthaD89
