Hospital Night Shift: A Day in the Life of a Medical Intern 🌙 | Ian Sta Maria

Hello everyone!
Some of you might wonder what it's like to be a doctor, or a healthcare worker in the medical field, manning the ICU, the hospital wards and even the emergency rooms. I'm sure most of you have seen it in movies, or vlogs of other people, but in this video, I share my experience as a medical intern in one of the government hospitals in the Philippines. Interns and clerks play a role in the healthcare system as well, helping out the residents, the fellows and the consultants. In light with the recent COVID 19 pandemic, as well as the recent advice to pullout the medical interns from hospitals across Metro Manila, I want to shed light on what really goes on in the hospitals because a lot of people do not fully understand the work that doctors do in order to help each and every one of their patients. This is not an easy job and doctors go on duty day in and day out, some with no sleep even, to make sure that the patients' well-being are taken care of.
Even though it pains me to be pulled out from the current hospital I am working in because I know that the manpower for the hospital has already been reduced, I hope that with this video, you guys can help in any way you can because our residents, fellows, consultants, who are our current frontliners are in need of masks, alcohol and personal protective equipment so they will be ready to face the day and help each and every patient that comes in.
I appeal to the general public/businesses, PLEASE deliver masks especially N95 and other PPE to all healthcare workers at our referring govt hospitals like:
East Avenue Medical Center
Jose Reyes Memorial Medical Center
Rizal Medical Center
Quezon City General Hospital
Amang Rodriguez Hospital
Dr. Jose Rodriguez Memorial Hospital
Quirino Memorial Medical Center
San Lazaro Hospital
Research Institute for Tropical Medicine
Veterans Memorial Medical Center
And other government hospital nearest you!!
Each help goes a long way. We salute our healthcare workers!

Hi there. I stumbled across your you tube video just as I am planning to visit the Philipines for the first time in hopes of retiring there. But for now, I was visiting for work since I am currently working in Palau. I was just asking a friend of mine if there is a VA hospital there since I am recently retired military also. In our Embassy one of my staff informed me that the US Embassy in Manila has a VA office. So, if and when I’m ready to relocate there, it’s comforting to know that there is a VA hospital there with such a lovely professional like you. And yes I’m single. Lol.

Your videos inspire me a lot, ate Ian! And by the way, we use the same Titus ballpen hehe❤️

[@ZaieN13]

If you can still vlog and eat hindi pa yan toxic. But interns usually have less workload compared to residents or fellows. Enjoy the journey because we need more doctors (or healthcare workers) especially in times of crisis like what we're facing now.

[@shanireys]

new subscriber here! omg i really miss vmmc, it brings so much memories from my mt internship which is 3 years ago na :((( but anyway, fighting Dra.! Godbless!

I'm literally soooooo stupid when it comes to anything that relates to science and it frustrates me knowing the fact that i can't even get myself to improve my knowledge about the things I've learned from school and now I'm overthinking of what I'll become in the future because i doubt myself that i can make it. I feel so stupid when I'm introducing myself in front of the class, wanting to be a "doctor" in the future yet i don't even know the simple things that relates to science. I'm in 9th grade btw😊

[@kimtrishiaparan6429]

[@laira9966]

Hey, being a doctor has always been my dream. I'm about to take STEM now, I was so scared at first because I'm not good in math nor science but I learnt to face my fear. I hope you can too! We can learn anything we want as long as we do out best.
