Chief General Surgery Resident Does a Week of 24 Hour Shifts - Trauma Surgery Edition

Come with me for a week of Q2 24 hour shifts as the chief resident on trauma surgery.

[@SebConte202]

Wow, you're a freaking surgery resident, a mom, go gym, and also make vids. I need to get it together. Love how you also stay positive through it all, even the little inconveniences like your uber driver getting a flat tire or forgetting to bring an umbrella, you do it all with a winning attitude.

I’m almost 32 years old and I’ve had it in my heart to go back to school and get into the healthcare field. I’ve thought about becoming a surgeon but I’m scared. You are inspiring me to quit being a chicken and start! ❤

I'm a black woman, current M4 doing a gap year for an MBA, and will most likely being applying into surgery next year. I came across your vids a few months back and seeing you move through the ups and downs with grace gives me courage to take the leap into gen surg. Thanks for being an amazing role model and for giving us insight into what residency is really like. Amped for you to do plastics!

[@UTAH100]

mba for surgery? PlasticS or plastic? Why bring race into this?

[@brandonbellino8896]

Why are you getting an MBA as a doctor and an aspiring surgeon? No shade, genuinely curious how they correlate together.

[@UTAH100]

@@brandonbellino8896 Many potential reasons for it. 1. Administrators make more money with less work and far less liability then a surgeon. 2. Surgeons can pay $250k a year just for malpractice insurance. IF they get sued (they will), forget about it- $500k a year easy. It is smart to have a back-up safety net. 2. An MBA is always helpful. Many doctors go into private practice. Knowning more about business, accounting, finance is very helpful. 3. Why not?

[@kyadiary]

@@brandonbellino8896I’m actually curious also? I want to be a lawyer but the med side interest me a lot

[@brandonbellino8896]

@@kyadiary Well the dual JD/MD makes sense to me because a lot of medical schools actually have programs for that, they combine medical and law programs for people who want to be lawyers for hospitals and defending doctors in malpractice lawsuits and stuff like that. I’m just confused why someone who wants to be a surgeon and be in the OR wants or would need an MBA, not sure what they’d do with it as a surgeon.

[@JenniferPerryMyScraproom]

I worked the 7p to 7a ER for years. You need blackout curtains in the room you sleep in. One of my docs even had a windowless room built in her house just for her to sleep when she had those crazy shift weeks. But since not many people can build a windowless room go for the blackout curtains - they are a lifesaver.

[@eminaroses2138]

We love you, Dr. Sanchez! You're an inspiration 👏

Hope you get some much needed rest this weekend and look forward to watching your next video!!

[@kirakjear9812]

So much respect for what you do! I’m a dentist and watching this makes me feel pretty slack 😂 I have a young son though and get to spend so much time with him. Not sure how you do it all!

You're amazing Dr. Sanchez. I'm currently a registered nurse who works in the cardiac/vascular operating room.

Hello Dr. Sanchez, a brave doctor, I had a question, is it risky to be a surgeon in the US?

[@burz]

I think you did more in one day than most I know do in a month.

[@bubblesthecorgis]

Hi doc, I have questions. My daughter is currently a pre-med junior majoring in Integrative Neuroscience. She’s currently anxious about what courses she needs to take for the MCAT and medical school because online sources and various advisors at her school are telling her different things. She was wondering if she needed to take Cell Biology, Molecular Biology, Anatomy, and Physiology. People are saying cell and molecular are going to be on the MCAT while others say it’s not required. They also said that medical schools love when students take physiology and anatomy, essentially boosting their application. Since she’s not a traditional biology major these courses would count as electives on top of her already required major and minor courses. Any help would be appreciated, thank you so much!

[@linnsoltwedel]

[@UTAH100]

@@jenniferschaffer1625 Agreed. Medical mistakes happen often. Tools get left inside, etc. I had a surgery a few years back. I looked hard at my surgeon to make sure he was wide awake and not tired looking. He was fine. A single surgery I had a few years ago, I think about every single day. Surgeons banging out 10+ surgeries a day we are just a number on a 24/hr. calendar. NO. We are people. The quality of the job they do sticks with us for life. I still have the scares to prove it- and pain on occasion too.
