Real Doctor Reacts to THE NIGHT SHIFT | Medical Drama Review | Doctor Mike

Next up on the medical drama review series is the Night shift. I originally saw many comments praising this show as a popular and quality medical drama with a military twist. This got me really excited cause I really enjoy military fiction shows. After watching several of these tv dramas I feel like writers are really trying to force some of these concepts and it shows.
I know this is the medical drama review series but man this show was so over the top it is crazy. Grey's anatomy is even more toned down and realistic than the stuff that went on during this pilot. I'm all for a little juicy hospital drama but the night shift really feels like its going too far. I mean the lead actor/doctor actually hits a hospital administrator and another doctor MMA chokes a patient and no one even gets in trouble. How unrealistic can it get???
Basically, the question I am answering in this description is how accurate is the night shift . The answer is ehhh. =]
Anyway, I hope you enjoy this episode of Real Doctor Watches The Night Shift / Real Doctor Reacts to the Night Shift . If you want me to continue making this doctor reaction video please give it a like and leave me a comment on which tv drama or show you'd like for me to review next. Love you all!

I thought I was finished. ER had two active shooters. At least. And a lot more hostage episodes. And a woman set her card on fire (but it was suicide). To be fair, they *have* tried to kill Meredith more times than anyone on ER

[@annabiotic1078]

pamelajaye All the medical dramas are overdone. Although I no longer practice medicine and I switched careers, I’ve always found all medical dramas to be a joke. Grey’s is the worst one. No residency would tolerate an attending and an intern/a resident to openly date. That’s a huge no no. They always make every episode a tragedy. Sorry, but that just doesn’t happen. Do active shooter events happen, yes, they do happen but not like medical dramas make it seem to be. As someone who completed a 4 year surgical residency in the mid 2000s, you don’t have time to sulk in your own drama the way Grey’s portrays it. You just don’t. You’re too busy in the OR, rounding on post op patients, seeing patients in clinic, and sometimes you have to eat on the run. I had two relationships fall apart during those 4 years. It takes a lot out of you. Trust me, I know.

[@emily.g.929]

When I was in nursing school, some of these general lessons always stuck with me and they deal with severe emergency injuries and first aid for someone outside of a hospital until paramedics arrive. It’s great for everyday people to know too!: If it’s bent, don’t straighten it, if it’s straight, don’t bend it. If it’s sticking out, don’t push it back in, if it’s sticking in, don’t pull it back out. If it’s crushed between an object, don’t move the object and once you apply pressure to a severely bleeding wound, DO NOT TAKE THE PRESSURE OFF (no peeking to see if it’s stopped) UNTIL EMS/PARAMEDICS ARE THERE TO TAKE OVER. If it bleeds through the material you’re using, don’t remove it, just add more on top!

[@whatsupinspace854]

Dr. Mike, the magnet trick really works! I learned it from my cardio rotation in Germany from my attending, had never heard of it before. Greetings from Berlin

[@eginteractive]

When the defibrillator keeps going off this is an ACCURATE depiction of what it looks like and the team turning it off with a magnet is also accurate. My mother had an implanted defibrillator / pacemaker and she was in the hospital when it started to malfunction during a cardiac episode. It's exactly as depicted (the show actually tones down the violent nature of when it goes off). This is the only time I can honestly say I've ever seen this depicted in a TV show. Kudos to the producers.

Austin Ellison Let me rephrase then: I don’t think he’s naturally charismatic. I think he is gifted enough in multiple way to exude charisma that doesn’t come naturally. I don’t think he’s the same as naturally charismatic people that not only thrive when they’re the center of attention, but actually love being there. I think he sees the attention as a means to an end, and not the end goal. Which, I think, is a much more positive trait to have.

Doctors here are mostly unempathic and want to work less as possible and see as much ppl they can within the hour, just to earn more money.

[@chrisredfield6274]

I worked as a security officer and eventually promoted to Sergeant for over 5 years. I could write several books for the amount of times I've been attacked, spit in my face, or seen nurses attacked. It might look bad but I didn't go easy on them in the moment. I've used choke holds and different types of leg trips and slams. In the moment, the safety of the staff was what I held above the patient, until the patient calmed down and no longer posed or acted as a threat, then I'd worry about their safety and health once more, but not while actively trying to permanently injure or kill medical staff.

No one was talking to them, and they were panicking. Then the Doctor came out and told them that the surgery went well, everything was going to be fine. The growth had teeth and hair and was the unborn twin. She said her Dad almost socked the doctor for having them worry and no one talking to them. I think her brother got to keep a tooth...

My mother had a pacemaker/defibrillator that had faulty lines (they corroded). It was continuously shocking her but wasn't showing up on the device monitors when they would read it. No one believed it was happening until one of the techs were in the room doing a check and it threw off a shock. They used a high powered ring magnet to shut it down. Totally true, and totally scary.

[@psporochi45]

@Kevin Prima You need a crash course into history of education mate. You do realize that the doctoral degree is much older than medical doctors ? The title doctor was originally used to refer to someone with great expertise in theology or canon law (middle ages). It really had nothing to do with medical doctors up to very recently. So technically, she IS the real doctor.

[@pinkit9455]

I work in cardiology - EP, and yes you can have a patient who gets repeatedly shocked, usually due to lead fractures/ improper programming of a device or a fib and in that case magnet could be indicated as it will deactivate the defibrillator, this is only short term solution until you can get a rep or cardiology to fully turn off/reprogram the ICD.

[@sheenarose8096]

During end of life care we place the magnet over the pacer as well.

[@LaSmoocherina]

Any magnet or is it a special magnet?

[@pinkit9455]

Michele Eslick Technically any “strong” magnet would work, however, in general practice we have specific magnets that look like doughnuts and are made by pacemaker manufacturers

[@Minshooga]

In our services fiddling with the pacing/defib function is usually given to our pacemaker techs and electrophysiology consultants. If the patient was admitted to emergency I would probably leave it to the pacemaker technician to turn the ICD/CRT-D off if it is firing inappropriately because they should ideally do a run through and check the defib function. Especially if there's a chance that the ICD/CRT-D is also pacing, and if the patient is pacing dependent.... and putting someone into complete heart block wouldn't be very fun :/ (cus you know, not all patients know exactly what their implantable devices are doing)

[@pinkit9455]

네가탈덕할수있을꺼같아? Most of the time we do the same, magnet use by non cardiology should only be used in an emergency situations, but by placing a magnet you don’t actually turn off the device you just revert it to “factory settings”, in an ICD case, the magnet will inhibit shock therapy but it could still pace a patient, as soon as you take the magnet off the ICDs setting will revert to their original. Patients will carry everything except their pacemaker/ICD cards🙄🤣

Man I appreciate you bringing up health care worker attacks. One of the worst parts about it is that often those workers are pressured by hospital administration not to press charges. They don't want the press coverage associated with it. Most of the time it's subtle but some times it's very overt to the point of threatening to suspend them if they press charges.
