FUNNY Mistakes I Made in Medical Training

Let's face it, medicine is extremely difficult and every now and then you're going to make a mistake. Mistakes are a part of the learning process and our hope is that no mistake affects patient care. In this video, I wanted to kind of make fun of myself and show the kind of comical/harmless mistakes I made in med school. Hopefully you all can relate or have been in similar shoes! Hope you all enjoy :)

I can’t be the only one who made silly mistakes like this, right!???

[@thehigherevolutionary]

Thank you for commenting on doing too much, that's what I do all the time. I needed to hear this 🙌

[@GiuliasCookbook]

Did the patient survive?

[@tristabella2297]

I made a few as a nursing student. I passed out during a gallbladder removal. I’m only 5’5 so I was on a box and yep down I went. I remember the surgeon said “are you ok” and I said “I feel a bit hot” and then heard “she’s going dowwwwwn”.. I woke up on a bed in the recovery room. It was embarrassing. Apparently it wasn’t a good idea to start the day without food. So I was given food and made it for the rest of the surgeries for that day and the next. I’m 40 in two weeks and I was on a high school two week prac so I was 17! Now a days that would not fly! I still remember having a discussion with a patient who had a gridiron sized ovarian cyst removed and I was telling her all about it. I still remember it like it was yesterday. Now a days unfortunately I spend too much of my life on the bed and in the OR myself as the patient but I always allow students. My Professor always gets the first years to take my history as he knows how complex I am. They leave going omg omg. A few have come back days later during lunch breaks to learn more from Me.

Hi Dr. C. As an RN, I didn't make this mistake..(.but, I made tons of others), but I remember an intern who gave a patient KCL, IV but not in the bag. He gave it directly and the pt died on the spot. I can only imagine how he felt, and the consequences 😔

[@laurenmusso9993]

During nursing school I was doing a clinical rotation in a pediatric clinic and shadowing the nurse. I didn’t know what she was doing with the patient exactly and the little girl raised her hand as if to wave (so I thought) and I excitedly waved back to her and smiled and said “hi!” too loudly. Yeah- the nurse was doing a hearing test and the little girl was raising her hand to let the nurse know she could hear. I’m an awkward human. Even to this day. Also during school I volunteered to be a patient at a PA school and the instructor extended her hand after the student did the exam and we were all done. I thought she was going to shake my hand so I went ahead and shook it. Nope, she was extending her hand for me to give back the gown she had given me for the exam. I’m still cringing at myself. We made some awkward eye contact until I realized what was going on, she looked confused as heck, and she “noodled” me as I shook her hand. I LOVED THIS VIDEO. Let’s normalize the awkward things we do through our education. And we are always learning anyway!!

[@julivillalta]

As a nursing student, I was given the task of giving two different patients two different doses of insulin. I ended up giving the wrong dosage to the first patient. Lucky for him it was the lesser dose of the two. So I had to go back with my tail between my legs and explain to the patient that we needed to give him another shot because it was a lesser dose. I thought I was going to go to jail for this. Lesson learned double check patient dosage before administering and make sure that it matches with the appropriate patient. Thanks for this video makes me feel a whole lot better about being human.

[@CuriousDoc]

Still not as bad as a story I heard of a super nervous medical student that went to an ophthalmology clinic, reached out to shake a 4 year old's hand, and said "hello sir how is your vision"

[@mediokritet]

As an intern I was doing a shift in a rural emergency med clinic and one time in the middle of the night (got just woken up of course lol) there was a need to prescribe an antibiotic for an outpatient kid. I did not usually work with pediatric population and I significantly miscalculated the dosage- underdosed them by a half or so for their weight. I realized it right after they had left to pick up the antibiotic from the pharmacy and I made the whole ruckus in alerting all the pharmacies in the vicinity on what had happened so I could track them down and rectify it. This was at like 3 am in a quiet little place where people usually sleep through their night shifts in pharmacies, they must have loved it 😬

This is sooooo clutch for all Med students about to start clinicals. When you were talking about the wrist vain/intern vein brought back memories. As an ED Tech we use to help the Med students learn IV access. You’re not the only one who blew the vein. I’ve seen Med students blow beautiful ropes for veins on the forearms. Instead of berating them I nicely tell them how to adjust for the next time. But question. Did anyone ask if you were okay after you tripped 🤔??

My ED attending told me to do a digital block on a patient before repairing their finger laceration. When I asked if he was coming in to supervise, he said “I trust you.” With my head held high, I collected my supplies, drew up the lidocaine and walked in the patient’s room like a damn professional. When I stuck the needle into the patient’s finger I noticed more resistance than I had felt previously and the patient seemed like they were in a lot of pain. I pulled the needle out and was so confused when I saw a tube sticking out of the injection site. It took me a couple of seconds to realize but I had accidentally used a catheter needle for the digital block 🤦🏼‍♀️

[@jasonb4254]

The OR is a humbling and somewhat soul crushing experience. Those nice scrub techs are rare but they are truly amazing. Most are grouchy and cruel who get high off of med student embarrassment.

[@sherrystott72]

Awesome video! We all make mistakes that are embarrassing, but make great battle stories in years to come! I could see each of these scenarios unfolding. As an RN I had a med student in a labor room. The patient started abrupting, so I told the med student to go and get the attending STAT. A minute later, no attending. I went out to the hallway and ask the med student where the attending was. He said, "He yelled at me the last time I talked to him, so I didn't call him." (I called the attending, he came immediately, and all turned out well for the patient and baby.) The med student didn't have a good that day after the attending yelled at him again!

Worst I ever saw (and this is BAD): a colleague from the dialysis unit, back in the early 80’s, who was dialyzing my ICU pt accidentally grabbed a vial of liquid KCL and reconstituted her post HD powdered Gentamycin with it 😳. You can imagine what happened next (and almost immediately!), especially since post dialysis meds are given push, not via gtt. Fortunately the pt recovered after being coded and then had an extra 2 hrs of HD on a 0 K+ bath. Soon after that incident, the hospital changed their policy of storing KCL vials along the sterile water and NaCl vials in the med room. I once dropped a two liter peritoneal dialysate GLASS bottle on the floor. Glass and PD solution all over the place! Fortunately it was new and hadn’t just drained from the pt 🤣. (This is dating me! It’s been a few years since glass bottles 😂) Love your tripping at the code story!

[@sallycinnamon5370]

This is my biggest recommendation to any HCP in training that has a chance to observe a code but doesn’t have a role. There will be a small collection of people that are there exclusively to do chest compressions. In my hospital usually they are NA’s. Join them. It will get you into the heart of the code to hear and see everything that happens but you will be helpful. You can let them know in a low voice that you want to join the queue,you won’t be interrupting any care, and they won’t mind a bit. CPR is very exhausting and they won’t mind a bit and you won’t feel out of place.

[@crystalratclffe3258]

in the early 1990s a patient coded on the ortho floor, the code team was running the code, over against the window was an older guy we ignored. we had multiple codes running in the hospital, and so we didn't have a doctor ( all the ICU doctors were on the other three codes being run), so the code team ran it by ACLS protocols ourselves. We got the patient back and then started to pack the patient for transfer to ICU and the team leader asked "did anyone call this guy's doctor?" and we heard a voice from the window. "I know"...It was the Ortho Attending! He had been evaluating the patient when the patient coded, and the ortho attending was who pushed the code blue button. we asked why he hadn't run the code and he shrugged, "I haven't run a code since I was an intern... you knew better what to do than I could remember..."

I thought her "crack" was looking a little red so I grabbed the barrier cream, slathered her up really well and put the cream back but noticed the cream was still on the table beside her bed. I had just slathered her bottom with A535. Lol I could have perished right then and there. I got a warm pan of water and washed her VERY well, applied the CORRECT cream and went about my day. The students would have a meeting at the end of the day with our supervising teachers and I admitted my mistake to everyone FORGETTING my patient's granddaughter was taking the course with me.

KZbin has a way of making everyone make fools out of themselves, but if it’s all out there, it’s easy to see that people are just human. Reasonable humans are not looking down on our mistakes. Reasonable people help those who make mistakes and nobody beats anyone down. Cooperation is how anything gets done. Got to cooperate with yourself too. Medicine can be a shrewd and nerve-racking business, a big part of mistakes I hear about anyone making are due to duress and nerves and pressure. A good working environment is always worth promoting. Also, it’s good to try to branch out to find direction, but not if it keeps you from improving. The mistake I make switching between alot of things is usually dropping something when it gets tough and saying it’s about learning or doing something new. Switch things up if it’s going to help problems get solved but not if it avoids them altogether. Finding out what balance looks like to you seems to be a big growing pain in any profession. One big factor in making mistakes is also exhaustion. At a certain point anyone will become too overworked to actually function and that’s an important thing to look out for. Take care of yourself so you can take care in your work. Respect the responses you and others need as people. Have a wonderful day.

One thing I noticed is that medical students will use their mobiles in the middle of a procedure. As a nurse I considered that massively rude and hugely disrespectful. Thinking now maybe they were looking words up or something but it used to make me feel annoyed that they couldn’t concentrate on the procedure and patient.

As a volunteer at the ER I was leading a patient into their room. On the way I saw that a crash cart with a bulky heart monitor on top of it was in the way of the entrance. As I was attempting to move the cart out of the way, I saw the monitor slip off and tumble onto the floor making the loudest noise I've ever experienced in my life haha. Everyone was staring at me and seconds felt like an eternity. Luckily one of the nurses helped me out but she couldn't stop grinning the whole time haha.

I had this intern in the ER use Us guidance bec my veins suck sooo bad. He forgot to bring all the attachments for the line (wasn’t in like the usual PICC package) So he gets a PICC in , leaves the catheter part that was threaded up into my chest w nothing attached to it, leaves the tourniquet on again not sure why it was even still on to thread the line up, leaves the room to get a nurse to get all the necessary stuff and I literally was pumping blood out EVERYWHERE !!! Not even sure why he was doing a picc to start 🤷🏼‍♀️ 🤔! From now on I make them send me to IR. EF THAT noise. And now in the boring patient you get you don’t want bec it’s too easy LOL 😆

During my gynecology rotation, we performed simulated deliveries using a model of a newborn and birthing canal. This was during the heart of COVID, so hand-sanitizer dispensers could be found everywhere, on tables, walls, etc. So, naturally, when I saw a pump dispenser on a table in the room, I went for it - collected several pumps and began to lather my hands even while my preceptor was pimping me because I thought it was no big deal. The preceptor who was pimling me immediately stopped and began laughing - I had just soaked my hands in the lubricant we were supposed to use on the model.
