@@lalanto341 because the biggest copium huffing that happens in medicine is the lie that more hours directly = better doctors Because to admit the opposite would be to force a person to acknowledge that they were hazed and exploited by an archaic system designed around a stimulant addict, that the suffering they had to endure may not have been productive.

It probably has to do with the whole belief of especially older doctors that, "I suffered, so these youngins should to. Because that's what it takes to be a GREAT surgeon!" When really, all they're doing romanticizing the kind of trauma and abuse that, more people outside of medicine knew about, would be shocked.

Exposure to Gases is also serious problem for anesthesiologists. Low doses of sevo or nitrous being inhaled accidentally over years and years adds up
@Nightraven262 жыл бұрын
I think there were studies which didn't show any health issues connected to chronic exposure to sevo and N2O, but if you know of studies with different results, please link them, I would be interested as I worked in hospitals without a gas scavenging systems. I feel like most modern ORs should have a scavenging system so that the gases aren't released back into the OR so that the staff breathes them in in small doses. Also, I think I read that electrocautery devices when burning tissue release smoke which is comparable to cigarette smoke (and surgeons, OR nurses and anesthesiologists regularly breathe those in) and it was even found that cauterizing HPV lesions has the potential for you to breathe in the HPV virus.

Oh man, don't even get me started on the crazy stuff I've seen in the ER regarding violent AMS/psych patients, and I'm only a scribe! It can be pretty dangerous, indeed. This doesn't deter me from wanting to possibly work with similar patient populations in the future once I become an RN, but people definitely need to see, preferably first hand, what they're getting into before choosing a nursing or medicine specialty with such risks. Otherwise, I fear more nurses and providers might get seriously hurt if not become even worse burnt-out, which we do not need any more of.

Fantastic video, thanks. Only for other videos, will it be great to include dentistry in the airborne infections section, at least.

@blackblood11222 жыл бұрын
I guess this video doesn’t include dentists as they are not medical doctors, but let me say that dentists are at higher risk than 99% of the medical physicians , we basically work on the patient mouth with aerosol generating procedures, we also perform surgery procedures on daily basis, and we do ALOT of x-rays throughout the day ON the dental chair, this is besides the risk of developing back disks problems and nick pain .
@MrMuleguy2 жыл бұрын
You can make any of these arguments for just about any medical specialty as well. For example, Interventional Radiologists also perform surgical procedures on a daily basis using a fluoroscope that is constantly emitting ionizing radiation not just once for a few seconds, they're also utilizing the patient's vascular system to perform these procedures and are therefore opening themselves up to potential infection with bloodborne pathogens. EM doctors are also very often looking or working inside patient's mouths on things like dental abscesses, perform many procedures and are present for bedside X-rays for things like traumas, not only that but when things like COVID-19 come about those that are on the front lines of this infection are the EM doctors and other emergency Healthcare professionals. ENT and OMFS are always doing surgeries or other procedures in the head/neck areas. Pathologists literally just straight up handle different patient samples and microbes all day. Gastroenterologists work with the GI tract that is home to a host of opportunistic pathogens. All this to say, it's not a competition. Practicing medicine in any form comes with risks just like everything else in life. This video specifically is meant to help people make informed decisions about potential specialty options when they're finished with med school. Edit: Spelling

I do understand the sharp at risk but there's things that you can do to prevent that to happen to you like a bloodborne illness cuz we have gotten to that point where you can take prep. Which is a medication to prevent getting HIV. And recently we found out a way to cure hepatitis C. And as long as you get your socks for HPV virus hepatitis A and B. You shouldn't have to worry too much. There are still rare blood born illnesses but you probably won't come across them in the United States. Always do the safest practice that you were taught to prevent getting stabbed with a needle scalpel or anything sharp that comes in contact with blood.
