Thank you for giving the housekeepers the credit they deserve, they all work so hard to keep the hospital clean and ready for the next patient! It's funny about the sleeping thing, in EMS the same thing happens as soon as the boots are off and you body hits the sheets you are almost guaranteed to get a call!

Does it feel great to say “I’m an anesthesiologist” without the caveat of “resident”? Because it feels great to hear it from you. ♥️

Whoa, dude I didn't realize you became the ATTENDING ANESTHESIOLOGIST! I just wanted to say congratulations! I am a MICU RN that's been pondering taking the next step towards CRNA and over the last year or so I've been subscribed you have always been a great inspiration. Congrats again, Max

I have often wondered why every hospital can't have level 1 trauma care, and this video pretty much summed it up. It takes lots of space, lots of interventional radiology machines whatever those are, lots of consumables, lots of specialists, lots of... Top notch trauma care really takes a lot of effort and resources, not every hospital can manage to allocate those resources.

For those interested, the "Q" word is "quiet". NEVER say that when you're on call for traumas! A sure way to get things running fast. It was educational seeing how the trauma room looks after a massive transfusion. As a blood banker, I only see the product as it goes out the door, so to speak. I wonder if the blood gets placed on or near the fluid warmer just in case there's a sudden need for it? Thanks for the tour on your busy 24 hours!

Dr. Finestein, I just wanted to take a second to say how educational and entertaining your videos are. Thank you for taking the time to plan and produce your quality videos. I am sure you have helped many wary patients enter the operating theater with significantly less fear and trepidation.

As someone who’s been in multiple/different bike accidents/falls before due to bad terrain/road conditions I can definitely attest to the importance of wearing helmets!!! The one where I hit a patch of soft sand on a trail access ramp and fell backwards landing flat on my back on the trail actually cracked part of my helmet and I had to buy a new one, I was definitely grateful I was wearing it that day. Also as a blood donor I really appreciate seeing some of the scenarios and equipment wherein blood products are used because it reminds of the importance and why I do it.

I appreciate u giving the cleaners credit!! I currently work as a cleaner at my local level 1 trauma centre in the Emergency department. My dad works as a cardiac Anesthesiologist at the same hospital, so your videos are super interesting as they provide insight into what he does up in the OR. I’ll be applying to medschool this upcoming cycle and would say you (and my dad) have both been big inspirations for me, keep up the great content!

While I understand that doctors don't grow on trees, and, as such, these situations are necessary, the notion that medical professionals don't have sleep requirements in a manor similar to that of other safety critical professions (such as pilots, for instance) is slightly terrifying.

As a hospital employee, I think all HCW are important, each member plays a vital role, whether it is on frontline (direct patient care), or not on frontline. W/out every single hospital staff, it would make doing my job more challenging. So thank you!

I LOVE anesthesiologists!!!! you guys do NOT get enough credit after I had my 1 baby I started making thank you gifts/cards for my anesthesiologists NOT just nurses & ob!!!!! You guys took the worst pain away! my first baby I had at 20 was young thought I can handle labor pain Im young strong…. lets just say once the epidural started working & my anesthesiologist came back in to check on me I was crying happy tears & hugging him thanking him repeatedly lol!!!

Thank you so much for making this video. So many people have a hand in helping the process along. And the equipment used---amazing. Emergency trauma centers have so much intense situations that happen. Takes a special breed to thrive in those conditions. Thank you for sharing so much

Truly love your vlogs, I was so excited when I saw you posted one!!!! As an ER nurse, I love seeing how passionate you are about your job and your patients. And I love that I can learn new things from your videos too, even as a HCW!!! One of my absolute favorite KZfaqrs!! Your videos are truly so fun to watch 🫶🏼

Congratulations, Max, on now being an ANESTHESIOLOGIST! Love your videos! Thanks for all you do!

I really appreciate the fact that your department / hospital is supportive and aware of your channel and supportive of your content. I guess I always worry about some healthcare professionals recording on the job, but it’s really helpful and educational for us viewers. It’s good to know you’re backed by your hospital to do it. Props to you!

I love the hard working staff at Elmhurst hospital. I was born there 32 years ago. Keep up the great work, you and your team are very much appreciated.

I enjoy learning from your videos about anesthesiology. You are so sweet and down to earth with no attitude of being a Dr. like often seen. The blood monitor you showed is such an asset to not have to send blood to the lab.

This is one of my favorite videos to date! Really showcases the various roles of anesthesiologists!

Wow trauma anesthesiologist is very cool! I learned so much! It takes a special person to be a anesthesiologist or CRNA and you’re one of them! I really enjoy donating to the anesthesiologist Foundation, since it was hard for me to go to college because of my cerebral palsy, I really wanted to be a anesthesiologist physician! You rock man! I really love anesthesiologist

I’m a CVOR RN & I loved this video. Great to see on-call from the perspective of anesthesia

Its very cool to see how much success you’ve had since the beginning of your KZfaq channel.Keep up the great content.👍🏼

Great content as usual. He does these videos to educate and as a passion, so I have respect for that. He doesn’t have to do this. He is busy enough I’m sure. Thanks again for your passion.

You sir are AWESOME! I’ve had 9 heart surgeries. And I wish you were apart of them. Thank you for all that you do and I can tell you genuinely care about your team and patients! Keep it up my friend

I love that you mentioned continuity of care- so important!

Hi Dr. Feinstein! I Stumbled across this video on my homepage and I’m so glad I clicked! I’m graduating with my BSN in one month and this video was so educational and entertaining! Most of my OR experience is in Labor and Delivery which is where I will be working early next year as an RN and we work pretty closely with our anesthesia team. The operating room is one of those areas in a hospital that not many people get to see because it is more restricted so thank you so much for sharing your experience and thank you for what you do as an MD in your trauma care setting!

Hi Dr. Feinstein, I enjoy your videos/vlogs, but I especially enjoyed this one. It's so informative, and so nice to see your comical side as well. Thank you for all that you do.

Wow growing up around elmhurst hospital I actually was in a car accident and was taken there and was taken care of- the trauma bay always packed with victims like us. a lot has changed thank you for your service again. ❤

Hi Max, always pleasing to see your new videos. I am an Anaesthesia registrar, I just completed my hectic 24hr shift at 4am and saw this video...💯

Hey friend and Dr. Thank you for everything you do to help others.

You are kind and display the qualities an excellent anesthesiologist and heath care provider should have. I know it takes a lot of time and effort to make these videos, but they are excellent and extremely informative. I have learned so very much. The very best to you...

The hospital is one of the most fascinating places and we're all so thankful for you! ❤

I absolutely love your videos! Always educational and entertaining! Keep up the great work!

Thank you for your efforts serving community

Love this video. I am currently an anesthesia technologist and I love my anesthesiologist… I always operate the Belmont so the anesthesia provider can focus on other things during a trauma. It’s an amazing job!

You guys rock. Love all medical personal , nurses, doctors, ambulance, fire. You don't give them the credit they deserve until you yourself or your family needs serious help. Without these specialized people we would be in trouble. They deserve all the credit, funding needed to save our families lives.

Thank you Dr. For the tour. Very interesting.

I’m impressed by how well prepared you are in the surgical suite and how you’re notified that a severe case is coming in. Here in Canada, I don’t think a stoke would get looked at. Probably come in via ambulance then park that person in the hallway for a few hours. It’s very common here for people to pass away while waiting for treatment.

Congratulations Dr. Feinstein, Attending Anesthesiologist!! You did great! You have grown in your profession and I know that you are a wonderful doctor! Thanks for a good video! It really is interesting to watch the other video when you were a resident! Nice to see the growth!! 😊

❤. Thank you Max! Your knowledge is priceless! Kind Regards, England 🇬🇧

Hi Max big fan of your videos . I work on the medical waste field . And I currently work Elmhurts at least once a week amount other Hospitals. You have cover nicely the atmosphere of the trauma rush - good job !!!

i’m a junior in hs and i want to work as a nurse in the hospital so i love watching vids like these to see the different medical jobs day in the life it’s so interesting

Thank you Dr. Max. I love all your videos ❤

You just reminded me when I was on call for trauma at Manchester Royal infirmary hospital as an ST 7 Anaesthetic trainee. Thank God I survived all in my calls 😅

Your videos Really helped me and my wife she has a needle phobia and had to have her gallbladder surgery i had her watch you explained a lot of her fears

Hi Max i am impressed with your video's . I worked in Elmhurst in 1972/3 as a anesthesiologist from the Netherlands. I know....I couldnt work as such but i did. Had 3 president as my responsibility. I met Dr.Shoemaker during his rounds in the ICU. Am impressed with the super trauma equipment. Great. I went back to the Netherlands and retired in 2005

Hey Dr. Max, I've been following your videos for a while, it's funny that you went to that bakery, because im writing from Cali, Colombia. I'm starting med school soon, and i'm very interested in anesthesiology, of course I still have to go into med school and actually see what I like, but from your videos I've gotten great inspiration, also I've been several times into the hospital for many medical problems, and I feel like anesthesiologists role accompanying the patients for me on the patient side, can be a huge difference on how you feel and how confident you feel for any surgeries, so I wanna be one of those doctors that will make you feel safe and that you are being actually cared of :D (you give me that vibe on your videos so I look up to all these things), local pandebonos ofc are the best so hopefully one day you can visit this beatiful city, if you do and want to learn salsa I was a salsa teacher for some time I would gladly give you some lessons haha! :D Best of luck and very happy that you now say anesthesiologist wiithout the resident! Keep up the good work with the videos, I'm guessing that as me ther are many other people inspired by them :)

Great video! Thanks for sharing!

Great job. As a retired medic from the Show Me State it is great to see you doing great. I understand you are from Missouri. As foar as going to bed and getting called it happens. It would be great for you to come back to Missouri

This reminds me of the old times I was an anesthesiologist in a level 1 trauma center in France. Specially at 3.16! So true.

Thank you Dr Feinstein for another well thoughout video. I enjoy how you teach us valuable information while keeping things interesting. Happy Holidays to you doctor and wishing you a happy and healthy New Year 2024! 🎉

Elmhurst Hospital is a special place for me. They have lots of records with my name on them spanning from childhood to child birth! 💖 Love this video!!

Seeing a working Level 1 Trauma Room brings back alot of memories as a Paramedic

I like how you explain everything about the operation room and you as an anesthesia I like your video

The anesthesiologist that took care of me during my c section was amazing. Such a nice guy and took care of me so well. I started getting horrible referred pain, which he handled so fast. Then I got nauseous with the morphine and he gave me that zofran so quick lol. He even took pictures of my (breech) baby getting pulled out of my abdomen and they’re my favorite pictures. I was young and afraid and he was great 👍🏽

so glad to see someone enjoying bolivian food❤️💛💚🇧🇴🇧🇴 you are my inspiration for pursing anesthesia!

I really enjoyed this video and the comedy. It's great to see the human side of doctors.

Dr. Finestein thank you for sharing!

Wow !! I really enjoyed this video . I worked O.R. , recovery room , just for training and Labor & delivery. Which was very interesting. Keep up the good work ! 👏👏👏👏👏🤗👊❤

I didn't know anesthesiologists did so many varied things before I found this channel, I had no idea about the airway work that they do for example.

Thank you for a really engaging look at the role of an on-call anesthesiologist managing emergencies and traumas! Also, thank you tremendously for the shoutout for Bolivian Llama Party, which was a standout hit for our family while visiting NYC. The friendly staff at BLP were definitely shocked when we answered their "How did you hear about us?" question during our visit. 😂

Noti gang 💯💯💯 Any day is a good day for a video from max

Induction Maintence Emergence. I could not remember Emergence today. Anyway Thanks Dr. F love these videos and they get better the next few times around.

Great video , very educational . Thank you Dr Feinstein.

God bless hospital janitors

Thanks for your job saving humans lives

I have the worst memory of being in the PACU after surgery and being in so much pain but not being able to open my eyes because the world was spinning. I heard a nurse say "she's sleeping" and I just shouted "I"m not sleeping!" opened my eyes, puked everywhere and cried even more. UGHHH

I work in an ICU in Norway and it's nice to see that so much of the equipment we use is also used overseas. I recognize a lot of this equipment and medications but I could still never work in the US because my license wouldn't be valid.

Love your videos, always very professional and spot on. People don’t always give anesthesia the credit they deserve. IMHO, anesthesia is the most important person in the OR, but we won’t mention that to the surgeons. Since you are also responsible for PACU, how do you handle being needed there for an issue when you are on another case?

This is so interesting to see. I am an anesthesiology resident in Austria. I’d love to visit/work there for a while but I guess that’s gonna be hard to arrange. Nevertheless, thanks for your insights! 🎉 they’re great! Some things are really similar, some different.

Great content. I love when a Dr. Gives u their perspective. So thank you for taking the time to create your videos. Im in The RT program currently..with an end goal of becoming CAA. It's really motivating to see someone who's successful in a related field. I suppose ill leave a question..Dr. Feinstein, do you work with CAA's at your hospital?

I love this series!

Jajajajajaja el plot twist del pan de bono!!! Ahora tengo que ir a probarlo a ver si sabe igual que acá! Excelente video mi hermano.

Your Spanish is incredible! What a great video.

Great video. Thanks.

These are very encouraging

As a Paramedic, i totally feel ya on the "as soon as my head hits the pillow" comment. Oh, and the "Q" word.

Wonderful educational video!!

Wow this was so awesome. Thank u so much! Kudo s to the cleaning crew. If I saw that I'd be omg where do I start? Thank u so much for the tour and education 💗 you're so awesome. 💗 ❤❤❤❤

Super interesting video! Makes me want to go to med school so badly. Thank you for all the insights you give us, please more of that

Wow. Just, Thank you. ❤️

Super interesting - thanks.

Watching you put your head on the pillow was like watching a dr glaucomflecken skit lol. It was hilarious

3:30 An OR with a lot of blood sprayed around has a weird smell of metallic copper. 5:12 Your beeper just sent a shiver up my spine. The sound became a neural whip after thirty years,

I love your surgical cap...so cool!

Man your work sounds so hard

Love your videos Max. I just wondering because this isn’t your usual hospital, are most operating rooms set up the same? Or how difficult is it to adjust to different operating room set ups?

A great way to see if you’d like the operating room is applying for operating room assistant or SST entry level. Great to see if you like the environment before any schooling. You’d be surprised how many med students pass out from their first surgery.

good man for not mentioning the 'Q' word. In paramedicine we very much believe in the jinx that is the saying the 'Q' word out loud whilst on shift

Your a cool kid!! Doc!! Thank you for all you do!! Super Jelly of your life!!!

Very smart people thank you.

Awesome blog Max

Thanks for not turning this in to a food show.

Wow do you even get sleep. I salute you for such a serious life changing career. I couldn't do it. Wow this amazes me

Brilliant and informative video

Another great video. You may have touched on this in a previous video, but how do you deal with not knowing when the patient last ate?

You’re amazing!

YEAHHH MAX IS OFFICIALLY A ANESTHESIOLOGIST ‼️🙌😎🎉

I’m gonna be doing anesthesia rotations as well as an oral surgeon. Very interesting

Please Dr also make a video on the role of Anesthesia technologist/technician in your team that'll be very helpful

Bolivian pal watching your videos, great to hear you're enjoying your quinoa
