Cruise ship accommodation for doctors Part 1

[@aberrynicelife]

You had me going for a second with that beautiful view outside your cabin!!! 😂😂😂

[@deck4forward]

😁

[@nancyporvaznik3847]

I knew right away that it wasn't feasible since he said that he was on deck 0. There couldn't be a balcony.

[@fnln544]

Thank you for your service to help others; particularly in a maritime environment. Best wishes, Doctor!

[@faithmolaa7417]

Nice cabin. On my previous ship the senior physician’s cabin was on deck 5, and the other doctors’ were on deck 4 forward..on deck zero we only had the nurses and medical admins. Beautiful medical center you have also. Good video doc! #teammember

[@deck4forward]

Yes, I've stayed in deck 5 on some ships. Stay safe.

[@irenedavo3768]

Please watch 8 videos of Jim Nd7ruchi

[@irenedavo3768]

A Balcony would be nice!

[@kathryncashner3294]

He doesn't say which line or ship this is. That makes a HUGE difference. In most cases, the ship's doctor(s) are not employed by the cruise line directly. Similar to the way the spa operates, they are typically employed by an outside company which is then hired by the cruise line to manage the medical center and personnel for those positions. The outside company takes care of verifying credentials, etc. as well as meeting whatever requirements the cruise line may wish for their personnel. Most docs have experience in either internal medicine or emergency.

[@JasonMillerist]

Why yes he didn’t say the line or ship that he was on. But if you pay attention to things in the background it appears that he is on Carnival Spirit. Multiple Carnival logos in the background and there is a paper pinned above his desk that says Spirit Itinerary.

[@magiccarp3710]

Yup

[@NorCalPhil]

He’s definitely on a carnival ship.

[@AquarianQueen67]

With Covid, I hope you have remained safe and healthy. I pray that you continue to do your worthwhile profession and be kept safe.

[@deck4forward]

Thanks, stay safe !

[@arfriedman4577]

Much success to you and your family always. Thanks for helping people.

[@deck4forward]

You're welcome. Thank you and same to you.

[@cherylmarosi4042]

If the ship he is on is Carnival then it is likely his accommodations would be a lot nicer on other cruise lines. Carnival is the lower end of cruiselines.

[@semity]

I love the colour of the bathroom. It has inspired me whilst I am re doing my bathroom at home.

[@deck4forward]

I really disliked the bathroom color...too retro for my taste😄

[@pcdihealth]

Wow, the accommodations is still adequate. I wonder what are the accommodations for the public health officer. I believe the public health officer is like the third officer in charge of the ship.

[@deck4forward]

Public Health Officer is a lower ranking position not a senior officer position, not to be confused with Environmental Officers who are 3-stripes Senior officers.

[@supunfonseka9221]

Waiting for new content doc, maybe one on how happy cruise employees are in general, how the time away affects relationships back home etc... Thanks!!!

[@justjohnny05]

so on Deck 0 it would be the first one to go and be flooded? ! How many Doctors and Nurses and beds?

[@deck4forward]

Flooded ?

[@arthurcamara4207]

Awesome!

[@dpgxyz7302]

Hello! Thanks for sharing! As a healthcare professional I found this informative. Do cruise ships employ pharmacists?

[@deck4forward]

Thanks...unfortunately they do not employ pharmacists yet.

[@bolero6147]

I’m so admire you salary and so on🤯

[@irenedavo3768]

They should give you Balcony

[@sakurikitty]

Ohh I never saw a cabin with a window for someone part of the tripulation, this one seems super big for a cruise ship. Hi, I'm a baby doctor and I would love to be part of the medical team in a cruise ship, but I understand that as a baby doctor I don't have the experience to be a cruise doctor, so I would like to ask u if you think it's possible to apply as a nurse instead, if a work as a doctor for 1 year at least. I'm from Venezuela btw. Your answer would be gladly appreciated :)

[@deck4forward]

Are you saying that you are a pediatrician wanting to work as a nurse ?

[@Agtsmirnoff]

So you can't leave the your place without walking through the medical center? Isn't that kinda strange?

[@deck4forward]

My commute to work is...1 second 😉

[@Drsujender86]

Which cruise ship is this ? Which company u work for ?

[@СергейКарпенко-ч8в]

Cabin is fair for Seniour Doctor position

[@dmitripogosian5084]

I thought deck zero is at the bottom of the ocean

[@deck4forward]

Only on the Titanic :)

[@NorCalPhil]

Usually deck one is the lowest the public can go. There are typically 2-4 decks below that which are accessible by the crew only.

[@tbates1987]

@@NorCalPhilit depends on the cruse line.. some start the lowest deck as deck one or zero, others the lowest passenger deck or the deck at the waterline. There is usually 2 to 4 decks under the water line with the lowest deck full of tanks and machinery like engines and pumps, then the decks above have crew cabins, laundry, food storage, trash room, etc.

[@connorjohn9859]

Tend to place medical centre , midships and as low down as possible , This gives maximum stability QE2, C6 was the location of our medical centre. Dr Roberts was the surgeon onboard. wrote a book called .sea sick, BASED ON TIME IN C6, well worth a read if you have any salt in your blood, C deck sixth stairwell, John.

[@pizzaguy1340]

Is the work hectic or more relaxed compared to land based doctors? Let me know thank you if you have time

[@deck4forward]

Depends on the size of the ship, and itinerary.

[@pizzaguy1340]

@@deck4forward thanks for the reply.

[@dmitripogosian5084]

I spent few hours as a patient in pre covid times in med center. They were pretty relaxed, I was the only patient. Med personal spent 1/2 hour studying how to use ultrasound machine and then similar time try to put me IV pain killer ( 8 attempts, no success, every single person tried, ). Then sent me to onshore emergency during port stay in the second half of the day. But their diagnosis was spot on, actually.

[@khadijahm8319]

They really could of gave you a suite like the one you first showed us wow smh you deserve better

[@ratanrajsinghdeo]

How is Medi-spa doctor accommodation in cruise ship ? Is it too cramped or small to live ? Please reply ..

[@deck4forward]

Same accomodation as the other Spa staff. It is very tiny, with a double bed cramped in there, but single occupancy.

[@ratanrajsinghdeo]

But they give 3200 + commission per month which is very less since I never worked in Cruise. Is it good to join or wait for core ship doctor job ? Please advise.Actually I have all certifications including ATLS,CDC and SID.

[@armchair_mechanic]

Back in the early 2000's we took our first cruise and had to use the medical facilities. The admin/nurse was actually the doctor for the crew. The doctor was a caucasian doctor that looked after the guests. Both doctor's with the same experience and pedigree but the admin/nurse was Philippino as was the crew. We would have been happy with either dr but we were guests and caucasian so you know how that went.

[@stocrimonte5400]

Must have been a cruise line run by white supr3macists. You should have canceled your cruise and flown home. Name them.

[@deck4forward]

I hope you publicly exposed that terrible cruise line for what they were.

[@MarioForcione-ix1dx]

Hello, can you use free internet for zoom meetings?

[@deck4forward]

Not sure I understand your question exactly ?

@@deck4forward can you use the computer provided by the cruise ship company to have a Zoom meeting or do you have to use your private PC and purchase an internet connection?

Hello sir ...I did BAMS(bachelor of ayurveda medicine and surgery) ..is there any chance to join cruise ship physician???

[@Valmontst]

I hate to break it to you, but nowhere else would you be considered an actual physician.

[@AchyllesBr]

Hey man do you have an email address I can ask a personal doubt I have?

[@deck4forward]

Ask here.

[@MountainMan7.62x39]

Hahahahahaha. That was epic.

[@virginiawangui3305]

Again. Good stuff. Your videos are very interesting to watch. I guess I'm the new comer. 😁 I wish you would also tell doctors who would like to join which agencies employ us though. Just for information sakes the same way you give information about other things like accomodation here. You aren't the recruiter and neither are you the interior designer to give details on accomodation without a problem, so I don't understand why you don't give detailed information about actual application for the job. Iv sent several emails in vain. That's why I'm asking 😁 Especially for African doctors

[@deck4forward]

What is the difference between a doctor of African descent and a doctor of any other descent, ancestry, or race ??

[@Agtsmirnoff]

WTF are you wearing bro, you look like something out of Star Trek

[@deck4forward]

I loved Star Trek when I was in school.

[@Twestphalen]

I gonna graduate in Argentina, can I work as a doctor in cruise ship? Do you know what are the requirements to work as a non Native American person
