Hey Jamie! Great to see you posting again - glad you are staying safe and interesting to see the NYC ER!

[@Julie.SandhuMD]

Love you both 😍

[@rebekahmckean3216]

Just came from your video, Siobhan!!

*My two world’s colliding*

[@LAila-qf4ww]

Jamie, Major props!

[@LAila-qf4ww]

What’s the idea behind your channel’s name??

[@DrAdnan]

Idk how a resident physician manages to make such quality videos. Major props 👏👏

[@justjayem8133]

the quality of this video is just wow

[@MaKaye55]

You finally got a chance to show us the inside of the ED 🙌🏽. More of this please as they permit.

[@TheStrivetoFit]

Will try!

[@DanielleDoherty]

As a New Yorker (and a two time ER patient at that hospital) thank you so much for all you do! 💚

[@JaneandJady]

Sour candy is my favorite! I love the sour spaghetti

[@drjennale]

Amazing to see how much you’ve grown compared to intern year! Also, KZbin isn’t notifying me you post 😑 I saw it on your Instagram stories.

[@had_a_butterfly]

This gave me big editorial-for-a-large-media-company vibes with how professional it seemed! This was an awesome watch. Jamie- would you considering making a video detailing the difference between 3 and 4 year EM programs and why you chose a 4 year program? I haven't seen that distinction talked about much! Hope you are catching up on your sleep :)

[@marisap09]

She should totally submit a video like this to Vox or Wired or something similar!!

[@mm77curly]

I work as an EMT and its amazing to see the similarities and differences in hospital vs out of hospital care. Thanks for sharing a little bit of your daily life in these videos. Stay safe out there. ♡

[@devito803]

Good for you! I'm happy working in business but used to be in the emergency responder game. How are you and your team managing with COVID? I'm always curious to hear, I have many family members in medical from nurse, to doctor, to EMT and their experiences are all so different lately. Thank you so much for your service 💜

[@mm77curly]

@@devito803 It has been really difficult dealing with COVID this year... At the beginning of the outbreak, back in March, we did not have sufficient PPE. Back then it was believed that COVID was, "just like the flu" and "nothing to worry about." Now, in November, we have sufficient PPE and supplies but not enough staff. A lot of my coworkers are getting exposed to the virus and forced to take time off and pay for their own COVID tests. We were never given any extra relief pay or extra PTO. We are expected to work 24 hour shifts (on a transfer truck). It has been really awful. It infuriates me when I see people refusing to do their part and wear a simple surgical or cloth face mask when they're going out and about. I have seen people from all different age groups test positive, have symptoms, or even pass away from it. It is just sad to see when people refuse to accept that COVID exists and refuse to work together to overcome this.

[@Ilovelife0611]

Hey jamie! I'm in my fourth year of med school and because of the pandemic we're being kept pretty much out of the hospitals in my country (understandable), but I had been losing motivation because of just sitting all day reading without any interaction, seeing patients, doing shifts, anamnesis and all of that and this video reminded me why I want to get to residency

[@Peacefullily89]

I'm currently in med school and whenever I feel tired, or lack motivation, I watch your vids to remind myself what I have to look forward to!! I

It has been 3years, how’s it going

I’m a PreMed student who is also an ED Tech, I can’t describe how much you inspire me ✨💛

[@sarcasm176]

you know you're a new yorker when you know the deli across from the hospital :) columbia 168 is a great hospital. the ER is always chaos but nurses and docs tend to manage the area very well

[@Its_semio]

The editing and the quality of this video are amazing! Glad you"re back, youtube misssed you! ❤❤

[@AngelTrazo]

LOL when you “left” the camera in the subway car my heart almost dropped! Yes to your snack choices. I love seeing your life as an ER doctor, especially having followed you through your med school journey :)

[@anniechen7618]

OMG it’s the OG MD vlogger! We miss you! Stay well 🥰

[@thereadingmd6857]

Hi Jamie! I’m an Emergency Medicine Junior Consultant in the Philippines. And I am really happy to see you safe and striving. You inspire to also strive to be the best EM doctor I can be. keep safe :)

[@mindeewaranka3625]

I am a part time caregiver who only has to wear a mask about an hour a day when I work and I just want to say that I appreciate your job so much. Being pregnant, I get overheated in my mask and it stirs up my morning sickness so I couldn't imagine wearing one for 8 to 12 hours a day!!! Every single person who has to do that is a freaking champion!!!!

[@TheStrivetoFit]

Thanks for your comment! It def gets tough wearing the mask for so long 😅

[@kimberlynguyen1714]

My anxiety when Jamie was trying to get her camera back on the train 📈

[@yassyak.2016]

looool saaaame, the idea of those doors closing juste in front of me gives me anxiety ahah

[@Bren-I-oop]

I knowww, just for that shot... damnn this girl living life on the edge! (it was a nice shot tho, but yeah lol)

[@lena9724]

Hey girl be safe, NYC trains especially at night time are dangerous!!

[@taiwoshogbanmu9747]

I agree, even for a man it’s dangerous.

[@DavidHindin]

So great to see a new vlog from you!! Those snacks look 👌👌 & sounds like congrats are in order for the trauma bay resuscitation :)

[@raquelzhagui1456]

I work at Weill Cornell / NYP as a transfusion medicine technologist. You’re an inspiration. I’m becoming interested in working in the ER thanks to you’re videos.

[@fatimajagne747]

ahhhhh!!! *scream internally! when the video started* I missed her so much

[@aniekanmd]

Wow this is nicely done.... Your video is really aesthetic ❤

Can I just say that I'm proud of you! I've followed you for so long and you are putting in the work! 12 hours sounds brutalI hope that you find some peace during these covid times. Sending some good vibes your way!

[@simplypsyched310]

Hey Jamie, so nice to see you go at it again. Wanted to thank you for all your great videos throughout the years. Your vlogs and study videos helped me to stay focused during my study as a clinical psychologist. Now I graduated with the best grades of my whole year and the title of 'most promising clinical psychologist'. Thank you for being such an inspiration!

[@mehak6563]

It is great to have you back jamie....😃😃

[@Gigi_otter]

Hey Jamie! Love this video. Could you talk a little be about how you feel safe commuting at night in nyc? I'm planning to take this class in the spring that requires me to walk 20 mins from the class to my dorm at 9pm. I'm not sure if I should take it simply because I don't feel safe walking home late at night by myself as a young minority woman. Thank you!!

[@mirandaalexis]

We love fellow ER medical providers on youtube

[@jg1296]

Great to see a new video up. Congrats on your wedding , the video you shared was absolutely beautiful. Working in finishing my BS here I ver the next couple years, then applying to PA school. My dream is to work in ER again. Worked as a Registration clerk for about 6 years and fell in love. This is a career change, your videos are inspiring to keep in toward the goal. Thank you and stay safe!

[@kayleel9137]

Really been appreciating the extra details you add into your videos such as the overlaying graphics and text!!

[@aidakamalian773]

Hi Jamie! I'm a medical student in Iran and I'm doing my ER rotation right now. I'm watching your video after a night shift here and I just wanna say I love love love your videos 😍🤍

[@kristielim3294]

You got permission to film in the hospital! :OOO This is so cool! And welcome back Jamie, we missed you! Will you be focusing more on your blog than on youtube?

[@accountforwastingtime]

Probably because it didn't show any patients(they were teaching so someone was probably acting laying on the bed) because of HIPAA you can't ever film in hospitals around patients.

[@littlesunworshiper]

Love following your journey with you. I'm in dental school but your work ethic continuously inspires me to push myself harder.

[@everythingapplies23]

Loved this video! I was just hired as an overnight scribe in the ED, so I really liked watching your overnight shift routine and being able to relate to some of your experiences:)

[@BecomingMD]

This is such a great video! I definitely aspire to this level of quality. It is hard for me to find time to make videos as a medical student, so I am super impressed you were able to make this with your limited time as a resident!

[@Asylum_seeker]

Hi Jamie I wast wanna say I missed you so much! Looking back i found out that you had a great positive influence on my year 2 in Highschool(I am also Korean btw), you basically pulled me through all the hard work with your Study with Me videos etc. I wish you knew how much I admired you, then and now(I am also aspiring to be a doctor), and thank you. Love!!

[@dooham1383]

Love the video! Just wondering why you’re wearing glasses since you got Lasik. I was thinking about getting it, but wondering if the effects are not long lasting.

[@TheStrivetoFit]

They’re non prescription blue light blocking glasses!

Great to have you back Jamie!You were my very first medical channel that i subscribed to when i got into medical school ,and 5 years later i'm still watching your videos with great interest!Just one question that i have to ask,why were you wearing scrubs in the public transportation,i'm not from the USA and maybe thats not something so unusual or maybe it's a personal preference?Keep up the great videos

Dear Jamie love your video I am in Brooklyn New York! Be safe!

[@danielpalsson1903]

So glad to see you posting content again! I have a question - why do health care workers in the USA wear their own scrubs? I see you wearing scrubs in the train and feel like it can't be sanitary to wear those same scrubs when caring for patients. In my country we wear scrubs at hospitals and nowhere else, furthermore we wear clean scrubs every day since they are washed at the hospitals.

[@princekarl4279]

Really glad to know that you are doing well😁. Congrats on the Wed

Hi Jamie! The quality of your videos is amazing! I was wondering which camera did you use to shoot your video? Thank you!

[@leonor1901]

First I Love your videos. I dont understnd why you all go to work in scrubs... Is it the opposite of sanitary? We (Spain) cant get the out or in the hospital...

[@lena9724]

This is an interesting point. I always see people in medical field take (nasty) trains in NYC with scrubs. I wonder why.

[@lillytabasco4915]

Yeah it's gross to me too... In France we pick our outfits from the hospital when we come in the morning (or evening) and leave them there to be cleaned...

[@TheStrivetoFit]

There are separate “in-hospital” scrubs and regular scrubs that we can wear outside of the hospital. For sterile procedures we either wear the hospital issued scrubs or a sterile gown over the our regular scrubs.

[@leonor1901]

@@TheStrivetoFit oh thats why... Thank you for the answer! ❤ I wish I could work there at some point of my life. (Nurse)

[@daniellameytin8311]

@thestrivetofit In most (if not all) countries you change to sterile scrubs before any interventions. But if you change into “regular” scrubs before patients check up etc, then what’s the point of being in scrubs before even reaching hospital?

[@berthachan5163]

Your video quality has def improved a lot!! Btw what’s the brand of your watch!! Sooo pretty😍😍

[@felixcat9320]

Am I the only one finding it so strange that in the USA you wear your scrubs before getting to the hospital?? Like, you can bring so many bacteria etc in with your clothes.. in Germany most of the time there are lockers in the hospitals where you can get changed, as well as an own washing system of the hospital.. so you get new clothes at the beginning of your shift and you can dispose it at the end before you go home

[@adelez66374]

Yes I was wondering the same thing. Here in England we are not allowed to wear scrubs outside of the hospital like for commute, shopping etc. Yet I see this in many US medical vlogs

[@enterusername2855]

Its the same in the US, where you wear your personal set of scrubs to the hospital and change into hospital scrubs when you get there. I guess it depends on the hospital

[@felixcat9320]

@@enterusername2855 why would you get there in scrubs and then change into new ones in the hospital? Why not wear normales clothes on your way?

[@enterusername2855]

@@felixcat9320 its not really deemed professional to show up in "regular clothes". Its also very regional based. Not everyone lives in a city in the US so they often drive to work in their personal scrubs

Great to see you again Jamie! Stay safe and take care ♡ Just a question: which music are you using in this video?

[@missaloha1988]

Great video! Is it normal for medical staff to wear scrubs on bus/subway journeys? This would be considered WILD in the UK - I've never seen it. Surely you have to change into fresh scrubs when you get into the hospital?

[@tryhappiness2725]

One day. I’m going to be here. I know I’m struggling right now but it’s possible. Soon 🙏

[@Sheijay7]

Hey Jamie! Thanks for the great VLOG. Say, do you differ between internal medicine and surgery cases in the ER? Or do you treat everything that comes in? Just curious, because here in Germany you have a team that treats the surgery cases such as fractures and acute abdomen and a team for the internal cases such as heart attack or what you’ve mentioned. They communicate with each other, of course. Is it the same in your hospital?

[@kasia199213]
