A Day in the Life of an Orthopaedic Surgeon - 72 hours on call weekend

[@therealscrubbedout]

What’s the longest you’ve been on call?

[@therealscrubbedout]

So far, 8 months is the longest 🤯

[@lorizordell7296]

I appreciate the entire staff at all hospitals. The electronic medical record system takes up more time than hardcopy records, and government and insurance companies make patient care much more complex. I admire doctors like you who can still smile, stay calm, and be caring to staff and patients. Thank you Doctor!

When I was 1st yr resident in ortho I was on call straight for 8months. In india as a 1st yr ortho resident u are ON DUTY and inside the hospital, either in ward or emergency throughout your 1st yr of residency. Your videos are quite informative and ur suture technique videos are the best. Lots of success to u brother ❤

8 MONTHS!? So it’s like the old school residency where you’re an actual RESIDENT of the hospital?? Thank you! Appreciate it!

What is the lead vest for?

[@alexgradisher569]

Dr Huang! I could really use your help. I don't expect you to personally help me. But turns out I broke my wrist in a mountain bike crash at the beginning of covid. It took two years before i found out i broke my wrist. Its been nearly five years now. Ive gained over 100lbs cuz i cant ride my bike anymore and i still cant open doors do any bench presses or pushups sometimes i cant even use a tv remote. I'm a broke uninsured photographer. This is messing with my entire life at this point. Is there anyone you can recommend to help me please?!
