Day In The Life Of A COVID ICU Doctor

[@jessicalanae7623]

i just want to say thank you for mentioning respiratory. They are the unseen heros of the healthcare team. Its nice to here a physician appreciate them for once.

[@RKMD]

It takes a team!

[@annmarieknapp2480]

Yes,they are. I had Delta Covid. Almost killed me. I am double vaxxed and took all the right meds. I beat the virus,but it went into both lungs. Had no symptoms of pneumonia that was in both lungs. My ER doc was amused I had no shortness of breath or anything. I fainted at work and still don't remember much of that day. It was awful. Grateful to be alive.

I have a respiratory therapist in my neighborhood. She is never visible. We see her car come home and go into her garage like the bat cave. I am so grateful to her for what she does and I'm guessing she must be exhausted. And that was before covid hit. My other neighbor is an ICU nurse. Thank you folks. All of you keep us alive.

@@RKMD thanks! I'm interested in anesthesiology so I will be staying tuned to your channel! 😎👍🏾

[@xKatherineStarx]

This was really interesting to hear that anaesthetics makes you better at ICU. I'm a UK med student and I'm pretty set on anaesthetics as a career but have been wondering about doing some ICU too. It's definitely something I want to explore.

Sir, do you live with family ? Is it safe to go back home to family after duty in the Covid ICU?

[@christophercasanova3664]

As an ICU or intensivist anesthesiologist, are you taking care of pediatric patients or just an adult in ICU?

[@chaingang325]

Make a video on Subclavian Line insertion - landmark or US guided. Thanks!

[@miguelestevez4495]

Hello Dr. You are doing an amazing job. What book do you recommend for ICU? Thanks

[@RKMD]

Thanks! Check out my book recs here: rk.md/book

[@ethanjohnson8907]

When looking at research, which section do you read first? Are there any sections you disregard or do you read it’s entirety?

[@RKMD]

I read everything. When I first delved into the literature as a med student, I had to do a lot of "homework" learning about different statistical techniques. I still have to do this from time to time, but it's important to understand! Finally, I think the methods section is the most important.

[@deepikadubb8402]

Are you wearing PPE in ICU ?

[@RKMD]

Absolutely!

[@deepikadubb8402]

@@RKMD what is the doffing protocol of your hospital ? Like We are providing indirect audio visual assisted doffing instructions to the healthcare providers for Doffing of PPE. I would like to your too.
