A realistic night shift during residency

[@tar4604]

EM PGY3. I feel every aspect of your video. The highs and lows are insane in residency. Sometimes to the point I've felt unhinged with how many emotions I can experience in a day. It can be incredibly hard to push through, and you're right, it's a systems thing. Instead of residents not talking about it, I think it's important that we do. There's more compassion we can give when we know we aren't alone in our experience, and hopefully once it's all over, we can remember these moments to empathize, encourage, and try and find ways to make training (even slightly) better for the residents after us.

Thank you so much for sharing. I used to think it was just me or that I wasn’t t cut out for this field. I hope the rest of your year gets easier and wish you nothing but the best 🤍

You’re back! I just started PGY3 and remember watching your videos when I was applying to med school. Congratulations on finishing! I hope attendinghood brings you joy and blessings :)

You can't be a good doctor unless you go through literal hell. I remember my lowest point in intern was on my second ICU rotation. I've never been that low emotionally in my life besides maybe during my PhD. Yet, I learned the most valuable lesson: you are patient number one. If you can't heal yourself or know when to get help, you can't do that for anyone else. It's a lesson that changed everything for me.

Salam! It's great to see you doing well now! I have been following you since your first video is posted - time flies! I was going to do med school but I decided to opt out for nursing and now I am soon going to be working in emerg! May Allah swt keep you and your family content and grant you all the highest Jannah-tul Firdaus!

I will never forget your step 1 was the reason I continued my journey And I want to say thank you for being so honest 🙏

[@nicolesteward4723]

Yes, sister! Appreciate the realness. Yes, we can shift our mindset and also sometimes things suck. I’m a social worker and feel the same way…love my work, and it is hard and it sucks sometimes. Stay strong! 🤙🏽

So happy to see you again ❤️. Was litrally thinking about you last month, wondering what you’ve been up to so I was just rewatching your videos & just saw this xx

Its so nice to hear from you 🥹 I am one of your youtube family member since maybe the first video. We are at same year and I understand you fully sis! I’m a resident in Turkiye and systems are sooo different but the feeling is same. I’m also the only doctor of the night and whatever comes in that door, its my patient! Sometimes trauma, sometimes traffic accident, and one time labour 😅 When the shift ends Im like “Wow how do they give me that much responsibility, Im a doctor for only 6 months!” And yeah youre right, we get in the lowest point before going up. I dreamed about patients for months and felt like I was not enough. Anybody struggiling about being a doctor out there, it does get better! ❤

Hey Maha , I love you so much!!! I majored in English Linguistics in Kuwait and I’ve lived in Maryland for a pretty big portion of my life to continue my medical treatments at Johns Hopkins Hospital . I always wanted to be an orthopedic surgeon when I grow up but Allah had other plans! Watching your vlog since the beginning of your journey , made me feel like I’m living the dream somehow!!😭😭❤️ please don’t stop vlogging!!!❤❤❤❤
