Thanks for taking care of the people in Libya! Thanks for checking out my channel and videos!

[@michelecasagranda2446]

I have your same attention span on books. How did you build your knowledge during your residency? By reading something about the cases you were used to meet? Thx in advance!

[@user-ew9fx3rk2c]

can give my the line of the icu book ??because l read book pdf. please, answer🙂

[@Georgiancorner]

Greetings from Georgia (country). I recently graduated the medical school and I’m planning to study in pediatric critical care & anesthesiology residency. You are very inspirational!!

[@eddyjoemd]

Best of luck in your journey! Thanks!

[@sophiadoresyou]

Would you recommend these books to a nurse? I understand that the scope of practice is limited for nurses but, I would like to be overprepared than underprepared for my first ICU job.

[@mattgehm7827]

I'd probably recommend looks towards more physiology books first before going to the ICU books but that just my opinion 😊

[@alejovm98]

Have you read the Oxford Textbook of Critical Care? I've been reading it these days and it seems pretty accurate even though it was published in 2016. I highly recommend it.

[@eddyjoemd]

Nope. Haven't read it. Since I read so many journal articles, I can admit that I haven't picked up a textbook in years.

[@RigoStar1931]

Must be awesome to work with you. Keep up the great work!

[@eddyjoemd]

I try to make the job fun for myself and my team. It's hard work but definitely rewarding and worthwhile. Thanks for checking out my video!

[@muhammedsaleem3941]

Internal medicine pgy2 rotating in icu. R the sections on critical care in MKSAP enough or de i need to reed from more icu dedicated resources ?

[@eddyjoemd]

They should be enough. I would also advise doing the UWorld questions, too.

[@korimajhor1]

Hello Eddy- I'm thinking about the critical care fellowship. However, I am a little afraid, I will not be good enough. Did you ever go through a period, where you doubt yourself and abilities? Did you have someone who showed you how to do something you weren't to sure of? I keep thinking about the patients and how important it is to save lives.

[@eddyjoemd]

I was told to pursue CCM by two of my attendings in residency. I replied to both of them that I wasn’t good enough nor smart enough. Their reply was simple “neither was I”. It’s normal to feel that way. It probably isn’t healthy to say “it’s going to be easy or I got this “ when going into something so challenging. I couldn’t be happier that I pushed myself. Best of luck!

[@yoliezackschewski9406]

Hello ! I have a question- are you able to recommend a book for a RN who is being trained ICU methods bc of the coronavirus? My sister in law is on a transplant floor and wants to do some research prior so I wanted to surprise her with a good book that entails everything but not TOO overwhelming! Thank you in advance

[@eddyjoemd]

I’m sorry but I can’t recommend anything. Much appreciation for what she does! 💪🏼💪🏼💪🏼

Our consultant advice for cevitta , but this is not possible to read because this is v big , Please suggest which is best out of Irwin reppe or cevitta or Fink . Please answer , or I should go through article ????

[@eddyjoemd]

I cannot make a suggestion between those books because I have never read them. I will honestly admit, I am a board certified critical care physician who has never even held one of those big expensive text books in my hands. I've learned everything I know from on the job training (residency and fellowship) and looking absolutely everything up. Best of luck!

[@hanishshashidhar3361]

Hi , what text books you recommend . Like for example irvin rippe or fink text books

[@eddyjoemd]

I haven't read them so I can't recommend them. Thanks for watching!

Hi Eddie I am pursuing training in critical care and I was suggested a list of books.could u suggest if I refer the older version of Mitchell fink or new ones? Can u also suggest books for edic exams UK?

I haven’t read any of those textbooks my friend. I cannot recommend any of them. Thank you so much for your support!

[@Arpit4063]

How do i start reading miller's ? Like from chapter one or from in between? Kindly help, first year resident.here.

[@eddyjoemd]

I should say to read the chapter on whatever patients you’re seeing that day. If someone is intubated with pneumonia, read that chapter. If someone has decompensated cirrhosis, read that chapter. It’ll help it stick in your mind.

[@andriifurtak844]

Could You advise any literature on pediatric IC and anesthesiology specifically?

[@eddyjoemd]

Sorry, Andrii. I am unfamiliar with that literature so I can't make any recommendations. Good luck!

[@hanishshashidhar3361]

Two questions sir You recommend paul marino , can i continue to read it even for ccm exams How do you maitain your cool and calmness

[@eddyjoemd]

You can continue to read it but I found the CCM boards to be esoteric on many points (it may also be a reflection of my lack of knowledge). I found the CHEST SEEK questions to be more useful because it’s in question format which works best for me and also covers a lot of the esoteric topics in one form or another. I remain cool and calm because people feed off of your energy and demeanor. If I come in guns blazing and yelling, my staff would react in an apprehensive way and my behavior will detract from their performance, therefore possibly harming the patients. How do I do it? By remaining very cerebral and deliberate in my behaviors, mannerisms. It has taken practice but I try to get better every day. Emotional intelligence is key. Hope that helps!

[@hanishshashidhar3361]

Thank you a lot sir for prompt reply . Your suggestions are definately valuable . I shall also try to practice the same way in handling things in icu . Wishing you a good time .

My pleasure and thanks!

Any video lectures available?

[@maulikshah5533]

Is it common to be an intensivist week on/week off and still have a private pulm clinic for the weeks off? Maybe staff it with a PA on the weeks when you are on? Would love to here about business opportunities after completing a PCC fellowship. Thanks!

[@eddyjoemd]

Just to specify my tract, I'm pure CCM. I am not trained in pulmonary. 2 year fellowship rather than 3. That also means that I can't comment on the business opportunities after PCCM. Sorry bud!

[@maulikshah5533]

Ahh Gotcha! Thanks again Dr. Joe!

[@makeitaleapyear6062]

Can one take internal medicine boards even if he didn't do his residency in usa?

[@eddyjoemd]

To my knowledge the answer is no. ABIM verifies that you trained in an approved program prior to letting you sit for the exam.
