A DAY IN THE LIFE OF A MEDICAL ASSISTANT | 10 hour shift

I work for an Orthopedic hand surgeon. When he’s not in clinic he’s in surgery and today’s a clinic day. On his days we typically start @ 7:30 in the morning but it varies from time. The Dr. specializes in office procedures, cyst removal, bone fractures, joints, ligaments and tendons. We do lots of casting. He also treats carpal tunnel syndrome and if you don’t know anything about it it’s when the median nerve on your wrist is compressed.
I couldn’t show too much due to HIPPA violation and patient privacy.
Hope you guys enjoyed this video! Feel free to ask me any questions!

Well hello there! How long have you been an MA?

[@kimmichaud7741]

I'm surprised your not required to wear your hair up and back I am as a medical.assistant

[@MiriamColeman]

Hi Kim, You are required to wear your hair up and back. In this circumstance it didn’t have to be, therefore I was not assisting a patient.

Hey there. I enjoyed watching your video. I’m a new MA student and I was wondering, are they accepting vaccine exemptions at your workplace? For religious purposes. I’m almost done with school but have not yet been vaccinated.

[@MiriamColeman]

Hey Mayra. Thank you for the compliment. Good luck in school and beyond! Yes, at my workplace you have an option to submit vaccine exemptions.

[@MiriamColeman]

Hi Joy! I’ve been an MA for 2 years and 6 months. At the moment I don’t plan to further my career. I’m happy where I stand. RN has crossed my mind a few times but it’s all up in the air right now.

[@go1d3n.nightmare]

[@annethhernandezjimenez4360]

Hello! I really enjoyed the video and was wondering if we could have sort of an informational interview where I could potentially ask you some questions about your job and whatnot. It’s for school since I have an assignment where I’m suppose to have an informational interview with someone who works in a profession I’m interested in. Let me know if you would be glad and comfortable to do it and if not that is also completely fine! Thank you for taking the time to read this and have a wonderful rest of your day. :) P.S. we could have the interview by phone or video which ever one u prefer/are more comfortable with.

[@MiriamColeman]

I will do my best to coordinate with you.

[@sohanurrahman4703]

HI miriam coleman , i am from Bangladesh.i am very worried about my life because there is no such job of medical assistant in our country. i want your advice how i can go to your country.

[@MiriamColeman]

Hi Sohanur! I’d say come up with a plan on which state you’d like to go with, start an application and see what options you have. Here in our country there’s a demand on Medical field jobs. Good luck
