Day in the Life of a DOCTOR: 24 hours with NO SLEEP

[@NurseLiz]

Dang! My brain is FRIED after a 16 hour shift. Can’t imagine a 24hr. Great work! Thanks for showing us.

[@ViolinMD]

haha hey Liz! ok lets be real... 16 hours is an incredibly long time!!

[@onepurpleflower8910]

I bet you hear that pager in your sleep! How can you make sound decisions when you are sleep deprived? And people in medicine know that better than anyone yet throughout North America they put residents through the mill. I don’t know how you do it. I have three sisters who are nurses. L&D, Surg floor and day surgery although miss Day Surgery is retired.

This woman is going to be a fantastic physician. She really has "a light" in her, as they say. To stay so cool and calm under such pressure is amazing, but most importantly you can tell she has a deep sense of compassion. That's what most doctors are lacking these days, and you can't teach empathy in medical school. I love seeing people doing exactly what they were meant to do in this life, and she's one of them.

[@rubired123]

My question is, how is it acceptable to put doctors in so much sleep deprivation? I seriously don’t know any other profession where you have to not only study years to become a doctor, but are not treated with respect as much to allow them to sleep! I give you props and respect your profession!

[@ViolinMD]

hmm it is a great question and one that has been brought up many times... some countries are changing and even small changes have been made here in Canada and in my program too. i'll share that more with you! i agree though, it does seem crazy at times!

[@anythingandeverything6151]

Unfortunately, the amount of people wanting to be a doctor and the amount of spots in medical schools for future doctors are QUITE disproportionate. Therefore, there are simply fewer and fewer doctors...even though there are more and more students aspiring to be doctors.

[@BoltCRNA]

Good job showing the stress of the 24 hr call day for an IM resident. Hence, why I went into anesthesia. I would not be a nice person when answering pagers from all over the hospital for random things at 3am. Of course, we do still have to respond on call to midnight labor epidurals and emergent surgery so I suppose everyone has their cross to bear.

Thanks Bolt SRNA - I agree each medical specialty has it's own challenges, and IM certainly feels it during residency that's for sure!!

It's hard enough being in the nursing staff doing 12 hr shifts, almost falling asleep driving home, I would not dare yet to go 24 hrs straight. Where I work, we are not allowed to go above 16 hrs.

[@ViolinMD]

Hi Rebecca! Yes it’s interesting how there are restrictions placed on nursing hours but not on ours (on Canada yet anyway)... I agree no driving home after 24 hours, far too risky!

[@jackji2325]

I felt similar doing my 30+ hours of call but the RN's had no clue about this. Their union definitely would not allow some shift like that. Then try doing it every 4 days.

[@mamaci910]

Violin MD some of our specialists such as Intensivists and Cardiologists are on call over an entire weekend. For the Intensivist this is difficult as they could potentially be up for 48 hours straight. Luckily our ICU employs 24/7 Pa’s and ARNP’s who help lighten the load on the doctors and sleep in house if they are able to. Most of hospitalists groups and Residents do 12 hour shifts. I can’t imagine how our system gets away with allowing a Doctor to be on call 48 hours especially our Intensivists. At least they are not usually needed at night and can sleep. They are always as pleasant as you are when they do have to come in though :)

[@Laurinska08]

Girl I hear you. I work 12s 7am to 7pm , but really never leave before 13.5-14 hours documenting, because our pt. to nurse ratio is crazy! I like my facility, but I am a new RN...just trying to gain some experience and go on to a facility with way safer patient ratios.

[@misseselise3864]

Wow telling us about that pt and how they begun to decline and ultimately actively passed away while you were on call is crazy. A very raw and real moment. I worked as can and I can’t imagine how hard it must be on a SRD. I would be so stressed about filling out a death certificate. Reminds me of when I lost my boyfriend in a car crash and how he was announced dead at the scene then transferred to the hospital. Crazy stress you guys face daily. I appreciate you so much.

[@nat-815]

A video on positivity and stress management would be awesome, as someone struggling with mental illness it can be really had to find or stay positive when things look like they're coming undone. Even when you're tired you look very upbeat :) I feel (from my own experience) the satisfaction and sheer relief of crawling into bed after 24 hour+ with no sleep would have been major. Keep up the good work, you're a bright spark in what has otherwise been a very cloudy day for me

How many cups of coffee did you have on this day? And, what did you eat, both full meals and snacks. Curious.

Luckily, in our residency program we do not have 24 hour call (which I'm already starting to dread) till second year. Really good work!

[@ViolinMD]

oh really? which residency program is that? from what I understand, we do slightly less next year which will be nice!

[@durisetister]

Violin MD I'm an intern in a medicine residency program in Boston. Looks like first years have more responsibility in your program, which is great to watch. In mine, though interns carry more patients, second year residents have more responsibility, they do 24 hour calls and carry code/admission pagers. Anyways, love your videos, keep vlogging!
