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 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.

[@zaraalsultani3196]

I honestly have no idea how you do all that. I truly deeply love you for showing us how your work life is really like. stay strong girl we love you.

[@thedaisysanchez]

Thank you so much! I love you! & I really appreciate you being here!

[@EbonyMtofmuscle]

Surgeons are usually around very competent teams. Moreover, attendings and fellows plus mid-levels (PA-C and ARNP's) are usually on hand for the floors and admits, (and sometimes OR) for the OR if the right circulator and and awesome scrub is on call, that immediately alleviates ALLOT OF OR stress like a Lap chole- Ports picked per preference, Cut down-vs Verris technique for initial, entrance, and of course being ready for open procedures. yes it can get crazy and serious but the training prepares you to be calm, and for the most part whom you work with are pretty much top-tier in skill and professionalism. What I learned allot from residents was to always STUDY and be up on the latest tech, and newest guidelines, techniques and Rx in medicine. Best to you good doctor Sanchez in what you want to specialize in and family as we say in the OR "strong work"

[@Slllllll101]

Not only that but to stay in perfect shape and look good on camera with no sleep. It's really hard to believe to do all this without anything.

[@Katthenurseee]

[@TheJUiCy1117]

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!

[@MOAB-UT]

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.

[@MOAB-UT]

@@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.

[@Nicole20397]

You're amazing Dr. Sanchez. I'm currently a registered nurse who works in the cardiac/vascular operating room. I appreciate our surgeons and residents and how hard they have worked to get where they are. Thank you so much for your sacrifice in caring for our communities. You are a great example for your daughter.

[@TheMakennaAckley]

i appreciate how in detail you go on what surgeries you did and also the medical terms but also telling us what they mean in “stupid” terms bc i had no clue what any of those words meant😂

[@jenniferschaffer1625]

@@MOAB-UT yea exactly makes no sense to me

[@MOAB-UT]

@@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.

[@luiza2021]

I think there will always be a shortage of doctors. Especially with the insane taxes you need to pay to get through medical school and the other easy alternatives...I mean being an influencer is much easier and much better paid. 🤯 we will see what will happen in a few years when we will need doctors and instead we'll get influencers.🤦‍♀️
