Day in the Life of a Doctor: Nurse Shadows Doctor for 12 hours!

Join nurse Ashley and come shadow me to see a day in the life of a doctor!
It was great hearing Ashley’s insights throughout the day and actually seeing patients together - she has been such an asset to the medical team!
I really believe it’s important for health care providers to understand each others roles better so we can optimize our efficiency and communication as a team. That’s why I did these previous videos:
⭐ Shadowing an ICU nurse for 12 hours: • Day in the life of a D...
⭐ Do DOCTORS ANNOY NURSES? • DO DOCTORS ANNOY NURSE...
⭐ Do Doctors Annoy Patients? • DO DOCTORS ANNOY PATIE...
Huge thank you to the whole team for participating in the video!!

I think every nurse and doctor should team up like this every once in a while. A lot of the time people get so caught up in their own point of view that they forget that other people might have different responsibilities than them. Pairing up like this is such a great way to build understanding and perspective. Really hope more doctors and nurses do this, seems like it would really benefit the work environment (and hopefully patient care)

[@sorchaoreilly2633]

Totally agree, and with other staff think too! Often the value of allied health such as OT for example get forgotten.

I agree. I feel like there is gap between laboratory technologists and the rest of the hospital staff.

[@a7xxlove7]

I totally agree. I'm a medical coder and I frequently have to ask doctors questions and follow up on patient visits for any issues we run across. A mutual respect is extremely important. Some doctors are rude or don't want to deal with us coders, and some are super nice and helpful. People are much more motivated to do their job well when everyone treats each other better.

[@becca7378]

It's great to see that your hospital seems to take a more holistic approach and has all therapies, social work, community support, spiritual care, etc! So important and often overlooked.

Your attitude and demeanor is so wonderful, you’re a pleasure to watch! Keep up your hard work! ❤️

[@estherification]

This is such a good idea, letting healthcare professionals follow each other to get a sense of each other’s day/workload/what they do in general! That way we can be more considerate with each other e.g. when drs get annoyed if they get interrupted on a note when the pharmacist calls for an intervention, I can be like oh yeah it’s normal to be annoyed. So much of healthcare can be improved by learning about each other, so I’m so grateful that you let others see behind the curtain and what a day as a dr looks like ❤️ wishing you the best, just a pharmacist in training x

I have shadowed doctors a number of times. It profoundly changed how I relate to them. It helped to understand and move away from from that generalized term “busy” and appreciate their steps in the day. I believe it promotes teamwork as you showed in the video.

[@anacatarinasimoes3653]

This is such an amazing interaction. As a nurse, I feel like relationship between medical and nursing teams is never encouraged and it's not really something very important. It's really a shame, for most part, obviously there are exceptions but this makes me feel so happy because this is what it should always be like. Working as a team! Amazing video!

[@jennafolsom1449]

I love this channel! I think it is awesome that you have shadowed a lot of different occupations throughout the hospital! Everyone's job is difficult in their own way and it is important to remember that! If we did not have every piece of the puzzle, hospitals would not run!

[@rain-wanders]

This was such a great video! It was really cool hearing about how you two worked together to help that patient with shortness of breath. Such a good idea to have nurses/doctors do this so you can both have more understanding of what the others do in a day. I was a nurse for a few years, but everyone was always soooo crabby with each other because they weren't working fast enough or exactly in "the right way" that I ended up leaving the profession for something far less stressful.

Hi Siobhan from Ireland, this was a great video showing how hard doctors and nurses work, you both made a great team and were so natural u, friendly and open plus like the nurse knew what needed to be done for the patient, in the past was in hospital 5 months, so seen it all, and learned a lot through the whole experience, from being in ICU and everywhere in between, its an education in itself.

The fact that you are able to hold the position of being a doctor with so many hours of work, while making weekly KZbin videos is incredible!

Please always stay this positive, even though it might be rough over the years! ♥️I have been quite a few times to the hospital, and the kindest doctors are always the most memorable ones that help ease the pain you are in. I also love how you are building bridges between nurses and doctors - when I did an internship as a nurse in a hospital for paralyzed people, it happened so often that doctors or residents didn't even greet us when we walked past!

[@joliescoldbeans29]

Thanks for your videos! I’m my sphere of friends/colleagues we tend to talk about the trials and tribulations of junior doctor life in a jaded cynical way (of course still wonderful and pleasant to our patients!)... it’s genuinely refreshing to watch you portray the difficulties, while being pleasant and happy. Makes me rethink how I’m passing on the cynicism to my fresh faced students, by seeing you react to the difficulties in a different way. - PGY 2 from Australia
