Me: hates everything about psych Also me: goes into EM...🙄

I don't think it's the cases, it's probably the day-to-day life. Too slow.

My experiences as a psych patient OD’ing is going unconscious in the back of the ambulance and waking up in a ward with a liaison psychiatrist standing over me. Asleep through the entire ER stage, never saw the ER physician

@@nathanbarnes3969Glad you made it out alive and hope you are getting the help you need 🫶

So glad I chose psych over EM. Worst lifestyle and burnout. Patients deserve better care than the flyby 2 minute dispo from the attending while most care has been provided by others.

We’ve all been there! 😅

And of course, it’s always a dementia patient there for an “emergency med eval” due to “behavioral changes”

As an ER nurse my mind goes "calcium first but in a minibag on microdrip bc I am absolutely not standing there to IVP this med, hit em with the D50, 10 of IV insulin fuck I need to find another nurse for dual sign off nvm here drink this Lokelma while I find another nurse." Gets distracted finding another nurse but remembers to get the bedside commode for the inevitable shit storm after the Lokelma/Kayexalate. Finds another nurse for insulin sign off... pt "why am I taking insulin I'm not a diabetic I don't want this!" Eye roll "sir, these are the consequences of your actions when you decided to skip dialysis all week."

​@@AB-my5il just do emergent dialysis

Sorry, but what’s wrong with explanation? Of course mechanism of “stabilization” is quite unclear, but it is recommended to prescribe calcium in case of sever hyperkalemia with ECG changes.

@@SuperBraNTA the explanation is fine, it's just funny that med students across the country have had the same explanation given to them by EM residents specifically

@@SuperBraNTA ayy I just had this question on a test. You can also give insulin and glucose to deal with hyperkalemia right?

yeah that was hilarious

What does CT stand for again? I forget. I could Google it, but the algorithm demands otherwise. I might Google it anyways, but an answer would still be cool.

@miscelanous Computerised Tomography, it used to be called a CAT scan. Its basically a lot of X-rays taken from different angles, and then computers put the images together.

ABCs... Airway, Breathing, CT Scan

@@Ananvil hhhhhhh

@@Ananvil what do you mean nathaniel?

A lines and B lines AMIRITE?

Literally had a debate w/ an ED attending (who ran the ultrasound fellowship) about POCUS vs stethoscopes

... what?

Lol

@Weather WX The cath lab (the lady thay he talked to) didn't think the initial signs of a heart attack on the EKG (the t wave inversion) were actually due to a current heart attack (there can be other causes including an old heart attack), until the very obvious, defining signs of a heart attack showed up in the EKG, but by that time there was probably an elective cath lab case on the table so people are scrambling to get the patient having a heart attack to a cath lab to remove the clot within the 90 minutes window required for better patient outcome. Hospitals also report on how they are doing following these guidelines.

Currently preparing for my pre medical exams, is that really how I will start speaking once I start studying medicine?

@Brawnyö Yes, you'll understand everything about this situation and laugh about it too when you get towards your final semesters of medical school. The funny thing mostly is trying to meet the 90 min window when you already screwed up. Best they can do is use thrombolytics and transport because of oversight and poor planning.

They actually choose thier own areas of practice. I guess certain personality just fit certain fields better.

It's the opposite, some personalities or disorders types are more attracted to some areas and end up in there because one thing attracts the other, like Emergency Medicine and ADHD or Surgery and Psychopathy.

@@irresponse You are absolutely right... But then I start to think that's it's neither personalities aligning with certain specialities nor an inherent psych/mental variant sorting doctors into said specialties... Sometimes I think it's a specialty environment that nurtures an already existing tendency within any individual (although to varying degrees). A cycle that started since medicine existed and different fields emerged and archetypes were chiseled into each clinical practice... But I'm most likely talking nonsense due to USMLE prep and I need to sleep 💤 🤣🤣🤣

@@irresponselol bro said psychopathy for surgery specialties. That's a bit hurtful since I want to be a Trauma Surgeon.

@@irresponse I’m ADHD, and I’m trying to get into med school to do just that. 😂. Wish me luck.

Ohh so thats what hes talking about. Now i get it😂😂

lmao, love that the official answer to that is "when they look pointy"

But then you respond with the “end of watch” movie quote and say…yeah but med school has a huge ___. Every med student is “fully dilated” by the time they are practicing medicine.

They should be nice, soft hills 😌

The number of motherfuckers I meet that say they're "diagnosed ADHD but just manage their symptoms well"....what bullshit. No bro, the stuff that I do, that you cannot relate to, are what people with ADHD are actually like.

I think this is my sign to do emergency medicine. I'm pre med and work in food service and I definitely prefer BOH stuff and have ADHD and have definitely made this comment a million times 😂

this word for word is me LMAO I love the chaos

now that's a compliment

That was my girlfriend. I can post bloopers/ behind the scenes

@@itspresro Please do. Also, I saw you filming in that building that day hahaha

@@itspresro yesss please do

@@itspresro Do it

I've noticed this too. Is this a persona they take on once they hit residency? Or were residency programs looking for guys like them?

@@stevencooper4422 ive always loved this kind of stuff, always carried my keys or water on a carebiner, etc. Its definitely not something i took on but something i always liked. I reckon that certain types of people just naturally gravitate towards one or another specialty based on their speciality

Do you guys know the brand of the bottle?

Its hydro flask right

I have a head band and Fanny pack and chug monsters. It’s like an ADHD litmus test

Really? I thought they sharpened them, could’ve sworn people told me that

In the nicest possible way, how dare you make me doubt my Leatherman and and search out an SOG mutitool. That I will probably buy 🙂.

What's SOG?

The real tips are in the comments

Nah my leatherman’s dope. Haters stay mad lol

I ordered an entire sleeve it won’t come off

@@itspresro where'd you get that apple watch band?

@@michaelegotti6439 OUHENG - here is the link a.co/d/b09lu1A

ADHD and EMS are a match made in heaven! 25 min attention span, ability to kick into high gear instantaneously, with a mind that subconsciously screens the environment for danger all the time. Perfect!

@@ksenijavranjevac2572 Exactly!

​​@@ksenijavranjevac2572bruh, my hand tremble during anxiety, can I go for EMS I have adhd but I am really good at spontaneous ideas

I'm EMS and I have ADHD too. Half of my program has it and most of my preceptors had it too. There has to be a connection there.

You can train yourself not to tremble with practice. It happens to everybody and its just about learning to calm the nerves with breathing tricks and stuff.@@HiHi-ol3hs

Until they're stolen. That's why the more senior ED staff uses the crappy cheap ones.
