A Real Doctor Watches "The Resident" | ZDoggMD.com

[@alexisaaronson2241]

Dying!!!! 🤣 necrotic toes falling off is real! First night off orientation, working night shift as an RN, my demented patients necrotic toe fell off onto the floor, while being repositioned. To add insult to injury when I picked it up off the floor he thought it was a cookie 🍪 and demanded I give it to him. When I told him it was his toe and not a cookie he called me a Cookie Monster. That was 10 years ago... now a CRNP. Love every minute of it!!!! Love this vid. Moreeee

[@Quietsloths]

i would have had to take a day or two off to rethink my career haha

[@notthepersonurthinkingabout]

😂😂😂😂

[@xqa2736]

lol...nursing student here...just peed my pants

[@erikaronska1096]

I had a similar situation as an RN. The look on the CNA's face.........

[@Chaucer129]

lollll

[@micaelasparrow650]

As a nurse, I agree one of the reasons no nurse/doctor are hooking up in the hospital break room/supply closets is that the hospital is nasty, but also because most of the nurses don't like most of the doctors. Also that code part was really good. I was mad too when the heart beat came back, but they made up for it discussing the real world consequences of 24 minutes of CPR.

[@nvrgo_full_tato]

Technically there are a few indications where prolonged cpr has good neurological results (especially if you're correcting the reversible 4H's and 4 T's from ACLS) if ROSC is achieved, but by and large if they're suffering with multiple severe comorbidities, or a multiple trauma patient with Gun shot wound through the head, or dying of terminal cancer, cracking their ribs to bring back a vegetable is no kindness to anyone- not the patient or the family.

[@justarandomgal2683]

What if the doctor was a nurse that became a doctor?

[@kimmiet.8962]

Micaela Sparrow exactly, MRSA, C-diff, Staph, Strep... 🤮🤢plus, umm, you are too damn tired 12-14 hours on your feet please. We generally can’t stand our docs! Lol

[@kimmiet.8962]

just a random gal not everyone wants to be a Dr. and that is rare. We don’t think about that.

[@JohnnyLodge2]

Most doctors don't like most nurses either. Don't flatter yourself.

[@Yorgar]

Both my parents were nurses I remember the first thing they would do after coming home would be taking a shower before interacting with anyone in the house.

[@sistarcodealchemy3291]

Yes!! I’m a nurse and I love your comments! So many truths hidden among the silly storylines. I’m amazed at how the same nurse shows up EVERYWHERE! And she has time to get records from the Cancer Center next door. Give me a break - most of us barely have time to eat lunch or use the restroom 🙄 Great video Doc!

[@iiamsm]

YOU SHOULD’VE WATCHED THE LAST Two minutes😂 !! I was waiting for your reaction to him turning off her life support! AHHH

[@cherylr8988]

but we all know that if a resident pulled out his notes in a rapid response the icu charge nurse would have been the one to smack it out of his hands...

[@thecentstudent]

I'm a PGY-3. I agree with everything ZDoggMD said, I'd like to add: An intern does not get a white coat with his name on it *facepalm*. Also, the intern's badge says either "resident" or "intern"-- only attendings get a "doctor' badge. Never ever just walk up to a nurse and say "excuse me, nurse" that's a good way to get stiff-armed. A medical student could diagnose lupus from "alopecia, discoid rash, and rising urea nitrogen" When doing compressions, you actually see the compressions on the voltage strip, which is why you sometimes have to stop compressions to reassess rythm. Ice to the face can actually end SVT, but you have to hold it there for what feels like days (in reality 5-20secs). Overall not bad, and not good. Still overly romanticizing a career that is so full of pain and joy and everything in between.

[@gettinstikz]

I'm an intern with a white coat with my name on it and all residents and attendings wear badges that say doctor.

[@vaticpillars]

And have we figured out what he's a resident in? Is he an IM resident, supervising an ED intern, with a surgery attending?? Sorry, couldn't watch anymore than the pilot. Also, his tattoo is the caduceus (☤), the traditional symbol of Hermes, not the symbol of medicine (Rod of Asclepius ⚕).

[@robertkrieger5786]

Dylan Russell , back when I was an intern I also had a white coat with my name on it... and a badge that said doctor... just saying

[@Ladyrosieparks]

I loved it too. We need more shows that delineate saving a life from saving a brainstem for the muggles.

[@TheAshleydelmar]

Oh my gosh YES!!! Just because we can, doesn't mean we should. Such a huge a conversation in veterinary medicine right now

[@hannahgilmer4538]

hahahahahaha! I am SOOOO glad that you addressed some topics that I caught from this series premiere. For awhile, I could not figure out why I like the show, it literally took me a few episodes, but then I realized that it is the fact that it is so over the top, that it is good hahahaha.

[@AprilTheRockStar]

"You killed it, Kumar!" That ending just made my day.

[@IdkIdk-pv1mx]

The chief of something at my hospital is kumar... soooo not racist cuz it’s true?

[@bethlyke5074]

I love this! Thank you for educating the public about what goes on behind the scenes at a hospital.

[@kresimirhuis8111]

Actually,Scrubs were most medical accurate series without even pointing it.Especially in showing what goes around in your head when starting to work.

[@AZ-wg3eg]

Where's the charting, and the RN's gossiping at their WOW. Or the elderly px waiting an hour for her prn pain meds. Damn you make me want to become a Doctor.

[@mariangely9546]

"I gave her too much potassium." Yeah that would never happen. Docs don't pass meds. Pharmacy has to review med orders and nurses also review orders before carrying them out 😂🤷🏼‍♀️ I like the show. Sure a lot of it is dramatized but it's a fictional TV show, they have to keep it interesting somehow LOL

[@khonlaox1]

if its not to much would you be able to do a sitting on "house M.D" i loved that show

[@wergersnee]

that would go poorly lol

[@rileyscott5827]

Basically there would be hundreds of 'X's' and little to no check marks for house MD.

[@leopardappygirl]

I'm a nurse. I woke up in the middle of my appy courtesy of my anesthesiologist who was plastered at the time. I have never forgotten what that felt like.

[@tmb_cali4732]

“You know what... this whole thing was stupid asf” 😂😂😂

[@misskatiepost]

I actually had a patient that coded and was down for thirty minutes. The patients' boyfriend performed CPR, until rescuers took over. Patient was in ICU, then moved to hospice.... Then woke up, was joking and being sarcastic. She still has a lot of recovery to do, and she was a super rare case.

[@BloooDit]

can we convince him to watch "house MD" ? :D

[@richardaversa7128]

Great video Zdogg, I appreciated the mixture of humor and genuine perspective from someone in the field

[@Crna2024-1]

CV ICU nurse starting anesthesia school next month. Literally laughed so hard I had tears about the blaming anesthesia part.

[@1987kmn]

I've been a fan of yours. You should do more of these as the ones that I watch are mostly from young doctors previews

[@Jack-TheGhostOfBidensPast]

I would love it so much if you made "watching The Resident" a regular series.

[@Omegascus]

So...what's the consensus? To watch or to mock? I depend solely on ZDoggMD to formulate my own opinions...which are not my own until I hear it from him

[@mugdhajohri2610]

1:12 that accent though 😂😂

[@ronalmd]

This video is gold! LOL Keep it up Doc!

[@annecaz9466]

ronalmd Agreed.

[@TraumaGuru74]

I love how you do this. My wife and I, both medical professionals, tried to watch ER, Trauma, etc. but we can’t. It is entertainment but it has so many mistakes and fake things I just can’t...

[@AsanaxSquish]

One of the points I do like, is that literally, no one is super happy to be in the hospital. They're happy outside of the hospital, but not in.

[@iRecordRandomVids]

The necrotic toe is totally real. Can't tell you the full story cause HIPAA. But had a patient come into the ER, instead of it being just the toe it was the whole foot

[@411foryou]

I would appreciate a reaction from every (or other) episode (it will help understand what I will be getting into when I practice medicine. Granting, I have shadowed and worked in healthcare for 5 years but I am not a clinician, yet). We would learn so much, Dr.

[@adamdowgielewicz751]

Yeah, when the Doc bags the aorta, vascular comes in and informs him he also bagged the vena as well

[@AddeBieber]

I'm a medical student, studying to become a nurse and this show acually helps me with the hospital lingo 😂

[@hijarman1]

You're a nursing student, not a medical student. Not that there's anything wrong with that.

[@AddeBieber]

Ian Jarman I know that’s the rule in the states but I’m from Sweden where it’s medical school 😊

[@hijarman1]

Adelisa Berisha Interesting. Thanks for informing me. So what do they call the schools where Swedish medical doctors train? Also medical school? I don't think our medical hierarchy in the US would accept that. Everyone in their place, you know ; )

[@AddeBieber]

Ian Jarman we have a very different school system here, in 9th grade you choose what major you wanna study in high school if you choose nurse school after 3 years you’re done and you’ve now become a assistant nurse. If you don’t choose that major after you’re done with high school you can take a 1,5 year “course” in becoming a assistant nurse. But let’s say you’d chosen nurse school as your major, after 3 years you’re done and that’s when you apply to university and study to become a nurse. Of course we don’t have the same training as the doctors but we go to the same university for 3-4 years. After that you’re done! I thin doctors have to study for like 6-7 years in medical school but I’m not sure :)

[@skyhoward2050]

Adelisa Berisha thats so interesting to hear how schooling works in sweden! Thats incredible that you actually get to study what you are interested in and want to pursue as early as high school!

[@LaSmoocherina]

I like it. It can't be 💯 because it's not cinematically appropriate and no one has the attention span for charting but is. You want charting watch Chicago Med.

[@craftgrrl14]

I have heard some real horror stories about some of the doctors in the pediatric hospital at Stanford. Kids going into transplant rejection because this one doctor ignores their symptoms. (a friend of mine died from this). Kids with EDS and CRPS getting told they have 'conversion disorder' and being locked in a med psych unit. I am a patient at the adult side of Stanford and luckily have received excellent care, but some younger patients I know have been horribly mistreated by pediatrics. The doctors ignore everything the patient says just because they are a minor. It's ridiculous.

[@witchHunterRN]

I would love to see a reaction video of SCRUBS. Not just one or first episode... Thoughts on a whole season would be nice. ^_^

[@BabyJustn]

When referring to not doing selfies in the OR- I wish you would comment on Eugene Gu and his situation. I would love to see your opinions on his twitter!

[@benn.official_]

They skipped over my favorite scene! (Beginning when he tells the new doctor his degree ain't shit)

[@adanrodriguez9183]

The most amazing part of this is how he made up an Indian doctors name Kumar. And that just so happens to be my cardiologists name

[@eugeniaxiao9407]

@ZDoggMD To answer your question about the nurse who "floats" across every specialty, the nurse is credentialed as a nurse practitioner. You can see her credentials on her white coat. Loved your video

[@richardlorenz27]

A nurse practitioner in....what? Keeping folks in line? NPs and PAs have actual jobs doing things. I’ve never seen one who gets to float anywhere.

[@Rtate004]

I Lol'd at the scalpel about stabbing the other doc lmao. Might as well have thrown it at them.. And I like how they said PEA but the monitor was asystole. Too funny

[@SunDevil1126]

I thought I was the only one to notice that! XD Awesome!

[@matthewsmeets]

7:45 question, I've heard some things about "ROSC" isn't that pretty much what they are hoping for when continuing CPR without shocking?

[@AM-rq1no]

do episode 2. I have not laughed this hard in years.

[@jrbertot2010]

As a medical student I appreciated your thoughts on this show you have such a funny personality great video!

[@EnderRocketGirlScayperWolf]

11:58 Him: This is so beautiful! Me: This is so hilarious.😂😂😂

[@_itsjustshae1798]

Please do more of this!! 🙌🏽

[@markyochoa]

Oh god please do more of these.

[@TheAshleydelmar]

Hey Dr. Z!!! I have just had my first veterinary school interview and I love watching your show ❤︎ A lot of your shows are relevant to the culture of veterinary medicine as well and I have learned so much from watching you 💊💊💊 Would love to see a veterinarian on your show one day to talk about One Health ❤ Thanks for all you do for health 3.0

[@sammyk987]

I second this!

[@TheAshleydelmar]

Contact me in 5 years (or when I get accepted into vet school) I volunteer as tribute ;)

[@skyhoward2050]

YES!! I'm a former vet tech and studied pre veterinary but decided I want to go into human medicine (RN) at this point in my life. I'd love to see some videos featuring Veterinarians/techs!

[@kimmiet.8962]

This Dr. is so on point. Everything he co-sign, I did as well. And he’s was a med student in my City. Healthcare 20 years. He’s right, I worked in Peds and wouldn’t entrust my kid, not at General which is a kickass hospital for trauma and unfortunately using addicts (as he states), but my former employer, Nope! Nurse 11 years, med pro 21. The Resident is the closest to accuracy I’ve seen on TV.

[@fry6344]

This was HILARIOUS, do more of these epic review things

[@cheermaddie]

I was hoping you were going to review both episodes that have come out, because the second is even more cringe-worthy.

[@GothamsBlackKnight]

Please do more of these!

[@TheCassiierose]

No lie I love this I work in the hospital setting for so many years and get it. Love ur videos

[@AmandaVF1]

Make more of these!! Medical show reviews!

[@princesslamour1985]

Im back and loving this commentary!!!!!! Do it for a few shows.

[@gracekirk1922]

I want to watch each episode with you ZDogg!!

[@mr.fresh-theboys4979]

What do you think about House M.D.?

[@neilsudan8201]

as someone who grew up in an indian-immigrant household, the indian impersonation at 1:10 is dead accurate to what most actually indian parents are like. Its also hilarious. By the way, the accent is pretty good.

[@chrisnelson8037]

love this video! On a side note, as an EMT, I must say I love the little EMT figurine on your bookcase, where can I get one?

[@RomeoJuliet4never]

I recently found your channel and I LOVE it.

[@Floreypottery]

I have seen people that got brought back from widow makers that were out 30 plus minutes. No issues other then some long term memory issues but they are living and well

[@katieamarsh]

Hospitals are so gross, not to mention busy. We're lucky to eat and pee, there's no time for torrid affairs. Ick. Also, if you threw ice into my bed, I'd make sure you clean it up. Wtf?

[@hijarman1]

Julio Gonzalez she's a nurse, numb nuts. She's talking about having to clean up that mess.

[@J.unlimited]

Ian Jarman I should have known that how?

[@tired2472]

Julio Gonzalez tf

[@hijarman1]

Julio Gonzalez "We're lucky to eat and pee, there's no time for torrid affairs." Who's perspective do you think this is? The patient? You just wrote a stupid af comment without knowing anything.

[@J.unlimited]

Ian Jarman if you have ever been in a hospital setting, you would know that patients complain about everything. My apologies for thinking this was another one.

[@100TVrsa]

"medicine isn't practice by Saints, It's a business!"

[@NicTeezie]

PLEASE PLEASE make a video for every episode of this show! (until it gets cancelled)

[@HermannTheGreat]

Rofl at petting the miniature Dr. doll 10:26

[@molliemcmullan9187]

I actually really adore this show

[@lornamulkey8350]

Hilarious-Good thing I watched your serious videos first because that made this one so much better. I think you missed your calling Doc. BTW what’s your specialty? Cardiology?

[@greenorangeviolet]

Why would her co2 be so low if she was intubated\had CPR from the beginning?

[@marknelson8949]

the end-tidal below/above 15 is known benchmark for perfusion quality, although it really provides a measure of cellular viability/metabolism. It would have been more believable to me to say ETCO2 below 10 given the timeframe of the resuscitation effort. The point being that even though you jump on a code and perform protocol compressions and ventilations, the outcome a majority of times is not favorable.

[@hischackkkxo]

I love this show

[@aminah761]

dschackkk_ me too

[@gjaguaribe]

this was the greatest episode review EVER

[@aprilg1336]

Probably should show more nurses caring for patients and more doctors staring at computers now that would be reality.

[@fazzaah]

april G Go to medical school and stop whining, loser.

[@gabbysidebe8740]

Umm. Where the hell did you pull the idea that she was whining about not being a doctor? It's the absolute truth that doctors have to do way more clicking as part of their jobs. Nurses interact with patients Waaay more than doctors do, because while Dr. Smith is examining your lab results, nurse Anderson is answering your call light.

[@fazzaah]

Gabby Sidebe Good luck killing everyone with your useless knowledge from nursing "school"

[@gabbysidebe8740]

And you have fun not doing anything to help anyone with your degree in social studies. You're ignorant enough there's no way in hell you've worked in the medical field.

[@fazzaah]

Gabby Sidebe Sweetheart, I'm an interventional radiologist.

[@jjham9694]

Can you do a review of The Good Doctor please???

[@katrinalynn6194]

I had to pause the video just to comment: That face when u said "I have been the finger" was probably the last face that most horror movie ppl see B4 they die. It was part sadistic and part scary which was quite funny. Just saying... And yes, doctors do talk about u like u r not in the room, especially surgeons. And it makes patients want to punch them in the nose with a 2x4. Just saying... Back to the video!

[@justarandomgal2683]

Both my parents are engineers by training and they both hate being left in the dark and treated like they are too stupid to understand technical topics. Kind of reminds me of this post in which an engineer explains what annoys him about SOME doctors. He explains how Engineers think. Engineers want to know 1) What happened 2) Why it happened 3) What can be done about it 4) How likely will it succeed and 5) What may be the consequences of solving the problem that way He then complains about how he was told that after an MRI, he was told everything was fine, but when he got his medical report he learned that they might have inserted a gadolinium compound to highlight blood flow. This was something he said he would have wanted to know about. He researched this because he knows how an MRI works in theory because of his physics background, so he was wondering why they put an IV in him. There were other things on his medical report that made him wonder, "What is this all about? and "How did this get here?"

[@Dexy83]

I don't know if you watched any other episodes, but the situation in the OR was blatantly over dramatized to lay the bases for future episodes. One of the central plot lines for the entire season is the subtle culture of protecting "that surgeon" that you referred to in your vid. Because I've seen, and love this show, I know what happens throughout the season, and you calling it from the get is awesome. It is also frightening because we are exposed to this real life, day to day shit.

[@hasaankhan1048]

Review the next episode 😂. This is great!

[@Dexy83]

I think it's great how you pause to comment and upon restarting the show they address the same thing you mentioned. 😂 FYI: The nurse is a hospital bases Nurse Practitioner.

[@jopet216]

As an OR nurse that OR scene made me angry and laugh at the same time

[@stephaniefinch-gutierrez2641]

You're SAVAGE!😈 Love it!❤️

[@hannahglenn5052]

I LOVE THIS SHOW!!!!!!!!

[@annecaz9466]

Wow. So many important messages.

[@katieamarsh]

This hospital doesn't believe in sterile fields. Also, you would not give too much K because pharmacy and nursing would be refusing.

[@IdkIdk-pv1mx]

Nope tho bc they don’t know beyond what their computer screens tell them

[@wergersnee]

pharmacy would absolutely question it

[@eraisuithon_7881]

Idk Idk as would nurse's, I've seen it happen

[@IdkIdk-pv1mx]

+huchi mama because a notification pops up on their computer screen... kinda missing the point here sweetheart

[@kimminer8156]

I've seen a case study on a cancer child given too much K+. It was a situation where the kid was discharged home on TPN. Her BMP results were not communicated to the pharmacy and the order from the previous few days was repeated by the MD based on an old BMP. The child died. I have also met an RN, who worked for an LTACH, that was involved in a lawsuit where K+ was ordered daily through a feeding tube. She administered it without checking the labs because labs were performed by Quest Diagnostics and sent via fax (There were no pop ups/warnings). The patient cardiac arrested and died. The nurse was a member of a good union, and she never faced disciplinary action.

[@karfos6764]

ZDogg is so right: you saved a brain stem. So sad.

[@druskie4h]

Haha I’m so glad I found this vid. I do hate how tv shows can misinform viewers.

[@dancechica]

As much drama is in this show, it has some good points to learn from and some very legit scenes. I work as a Med Surg/Telemetry nurse at a hospital in a pretty rough part of town so we get a lot of drug addicts

[@princesscami122099]

*pls react to more the resident episodes! I love your insight and telling us if what actually happens in the show is realistic. Thank you. I really enjoyed this. 👍🏼👍🏼*

[@andrewmerritt3123]

I am so glad I subscribed to your channel last week. You're hilarious ZDogg!

I don't know how many times I've told my wife, "Sorry, don't touch me. I'm gross" when she comes up to hug me after a long shift haha

[@melissa1985]

What about ZDogg goes vintage? Real Doc watches ER?

[@inessa255]

[@whsdd123]

golden idea right here

[@fsimis]

I love this channel !

[@catherinehayes8912]

The doctor-nurse hookup in the hospital is so yuck, but it does happen. Our hospital had to make the morgue elevator work with a key only because two employees were caught hooking up there. In the elevator that goes to the MORGUE! 😨

[@ttsao0423]

i dont want to watch the show. i just want to watch you critique the show. as a medical school student, that would be so useful! Please consider doing more of these!

[@samanthasnow5452]

[@rosalie51365]

I'm very new on my floor, but according to my preceptor it is not that uncommon for toes to just fall off.

I've had it happen- went to transfer a patient to an ambulance cot and their big toe fell off

[@jcoop757]

PEA? That's asystole! Each compression should show on the monitor. Also, why so fast? 100-120, how hard is that? Can't say that I've thrown a basin of ice on a patient, but an ice-soaked towel, yes! And it's worked twice.
