The best part about residency is that you start and yon don't know anything, but by the time you reach second year you're a almost an expert and by 3rd, 4th year depending on your residency length you're ready to go out there and make a difference. It's amazing! Dr. Climaco and his colleagues are brilliant. Respect!!!

[@TheCocoKayyy]

I like the way he explained general surgery. I've never heard it discussed in that manner.

[@billymartin665]

Thank you so much for your service. I had a hernia and am alive 13 years later thanks to a naval surgeon.

[@bless-294]

I’m very proud of you Kevin, mom and your entire family clan🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏

[@fredrinafaureus]

Oh yesss!

[@Dusballin]

What incredible timing. I’ve literally just started looking into military medicine. Great video!

[@thefavourite4715]

Wow

[@ralphemerson497]

If you are serious for the most experience and are a badass, shoot to be on an Army SF Team Medic. You’ll have more hands on experience than 90% of domestic ER Doctors.

[@ramennoodles1843]

The introduction was epic as well, especially the man saluting Dr. Climaco!

[@dzikijohnny]

As a Navy Vet that shocked me...until I remember that the Army has different saluting regs. Indoors and uncovered.

[@dakine9097]

Just wow! What an intelligent and humble person! Although, I don’t understand the medical terminology he explains things well. Thank you for your service!

[@JaganDoodala]

Dr. Climaco, you're a BEAST!!! Thanks so much for this video! Absolutely loved the energy.

[@aesirgaming1014]

People need to realize that the Army is a massive organization and that the experiences are very different. We're all Soldiers, but the lifestyle that we live is as different as any other community of around 1 million people. Can you go the hardcore, field route? Yes, know a few former SF docs that I'd entrust my life to without a single hesitation. Can you do most of your career in a hospital environment? Yes, know a few who did that as well and I have a world of respect for them. One of my best friends was an Army ICU nurse in Germany. She has very serious PTSD because her unit dealt with a lot of the guys that got seriously injured in Iraq/Afghanistan. Hard enough seeing your buddies get hit in sector, couldn't imagine every day going in to see guys that were fighting for their lives with life-altering injuries. Right now, I'm a 10 year veteran of combat arms in Nursing school and I keep telling my classmates to look into AMEDD. A lot of people say 'oh no, I don't want to live the Army lifestyle', without realizing that the lifestyle that you lead as a Nurse in AMEDD is dramatically different from what I lived as a grunt in a recon platoon. The things I remember like hazing, fights in the barracks, command maintenance, stupid games from NCO's, living out of vehicles for weeks at a time in the field and combat, etc. just aren't things that AMEDD usually deals with (unless you're one of those hardcore field types). My friend and I have often discussed how funny it is that we were both Army in Germany (based within an hour of each other) and how our experiences were so dramatically different even though we were there at the same time. Great video that highlights what a day in the life of an AMEDD doc is like.

[@gumbo909]

This is why I chose to be a 68W, good amount from both worlds. Being in the army meant I wanted to physically and mentally push myself.

[@CubeInspector]

Every FOB in Iraq had a TMC, major ones had surgical teams running surgeries all the time, plus the CSH in Baghdad. But being at landstuhl is a way different beast than being at Darnell on ft hood for instance. Landstuhl just happens to be the closest major hospital to where we were fighting.

[@iloveyouyoulovemeify]

hes scary in a good way . he has a alot of responsibility and handles it good

[@isaiahwhitten3939]

So grateful for this video!! May God bless America and Dr. Climaco!

[@ApostolicCAD]

I've always immediately crossed Military medicine off my list without a second thought. This video highlighted the skill and comraderie so well that I lost my footing in that stance and had to go rethink the yeas and nays again. The "Nays" still have it but I loved the thought exercise!!!😊💪🤗

BAMC was my old stomping ground (now SAMMC). Army Nurse Corps Retired.

[@cynthialikesturtles]

SAMMC! my old stomping grounds. what a state of the art facility.

[@alanholck7995]

I got 2 appendectomies from military general surgeons. Surgeon number one nicked the large intestine. Three days later, as I was going septic, surgeon number two took one look at me in ER, and immediately started cutting and suctioning. After about 3 min my wife says ‘you know he hasn’t had anything for pain, right?’ Gets fuzzy after that. Have a great scar.

[@pompano_jedi172]

Woah that's terrible!

[@brendasays2324]

That’s so cool.. thank you for your service. That’s definitely not enough gratitude for all that you’ve sacrificed. 🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽

[@wendyyip685]

[@karimwilson144]

One of the best videos on this channel

[@carlettagoodrich-mann1377]

From Head to toe care. General surgeons are like HOUSE the team master who holds others lives in his hands.

[@SherinChibi]

This is awesome I'm a nurse working at the same place you do. Hope to run into you one day!

[@DokterMengajar]

You should do this kind of daily life for every surgery specialty man. Awesome.

[@natehochuli6457]

Been missing this series! Psyched to see it again

[@robertwilliam9558]

Very informative insight into the Military.

[@coolguy32558]

this is the best video ever - very interested in military careers in healthcare.

[@Sugar-hr9il]

but girls dont like surgeon like this tho

[@LyslScentedLife]

​@Sugar-hr9il they don't like them? But I bet they like the money that comes with it ❤

[@Sugar-hr9il]

@@LyslScentedLife well they re paid military officer salary which is about 60-80k w/ benefits

[@RED-cn7hy]

I don't think that is correct. At least, I hope not.

[@subodhsrinivasamurthy6866]

Hello, Can you please make a video about a day in the life of a Neurosurgeon, aside from that your videos are informative and i love that, Thanks

[@lindywinn2447]

Hello, he is a general surgeon not neurosurgeon. Those are two different specialties.

[@sterlingteall3462]

This is such an awesome Episode.

[@dfr4j802]

Now I'm in my first year and I hope to be like you but in ksa army 🇸🇦

[@ramennoodles1843]

Awesome video! You should do an Air Force flight surgeon and an Army or Air Force emergency physician!

[@dzikijohnny]

I think you can find a flight surgeon on a podcast or on another KZbin channel.

[@ericl6386]

I read the title and thought wow he gets a chance to speak to a General and show his day in the life . A general surgeon resident makes more sense 😅

[@dustinmajewski]

where's your cover outside Capt? great attention to detail....surely somebody is going to get a great VA rating from your care.

[@Dr.Macrophage]

Exceptional video. Absolutely loved every minute of it.

Hey Doc, thanks for your service

[@billybeane8130]

Excellent video, Thank You for making it!!

[@learningwithlanden]

So excited! Especially because this is the path I’m pursuing as a junior undergrad currently 🫡

[@SevenstarcookSevenstar]

General Surgeon is called in German language as "Algemein Arzt". On other words "Common Physician" who also operate minor surgeries of every kind but against this there are "Surgeon general" and "Doctrine Surgeon General" and in that the "Surgeon general" is the chief of Medical core and has qualified comprehensive knowledge of every department of healthcare and Surgery but against this "Doctrine Surgeon General" is the actual intellectual Doctrine person of whole health care system all over the universe and is also master of Future synchronized Healthcare system and medical care and Surgeries and at the moment only one Pakistani Doctor is "Doctrine Surgeon General" whose name is "Dr. Raja Haroon Latif".

[@alfrede.newman1838]

Just curious: acting in your capacity as a general surgeon, can you if needed in exceptional circumstances "pull rank" on a more senior officer if they are proving to be a 'difficult patient'? I can't think of a real example, but do you have an escalation process to get around the military rank system when it comes down to a medical case process?

[@lea-analowery4585]

Great question. The only situation I can think of to answer this is in the TV Series, Star Trek The Next Generation. In that series Dr. Crusher was the only commissioned officer who could give orders to the captain despite her lower rank as a commander.

[@dzikijohnny]

The Doctor is still in charge...Military Rank is removed when you pass into the Hospital. Other than being treated as a VIP, as you would in a regular hospital. Remember the Comander of the hospital is also, usually, a General themselves.

[@alfrede.newman1838]

@@dzikijohnny Thank you. It was more of a curious question but there must have been some military operating principle of order where medical needs have to take priority.

[@flyingpanda2193]

Rank doesn’t matter anymore when you are a patient. Of course, if your high ranking, you would be closed monitored. Because no matter how high ranking you are, you always have a supervisor in the military. The easiest way for junior ranking doctors to do is call that higher ranking officer and explain the treatment plan. Or have your hospital higher ranking officer to intervene

[@thesunris]

Doctors have authority - but patients also have the right to refuse consent "Yes Sir you don't want the life saving surgery, bye"

[@Healthyhealings]

Omg I would want you and Dr. Perry to operate on me if ever needed! You both are amazing people!!! How much neurosurgery do you do (spinal fusion and the like)?

[@lindywinn2447]

He is a General Surgeon not a Neurosurgeon. Two different specialties.
