omg! as a doctor i laughed so hard at the coments, patients have no idea what we deal with every day! and congratulations on passing your exams!

The smile on my face as you introduce yourself as “double board certified” - a proud mom! So happy for you!! You’re inspiring me to pursue medicine now so thank you ☺️

I don’t know what human actually enjoys poop, pee, and vomit. And honestly, as an interventional radiologist you now no longer need to clean up any of these body fluids. Well done doc!

I guess hair stylists shouldn’t cut hair if they hate seeing dandruff. Or plumbers shouldn’t be plumbers because they hate seeing poop. Every profession has something they hate seeing. These people need to get over it.

Nobody loves every single aspect of their job; It is part of the human experience. I think you’re a great doctor and I am a big fan of your videos. :D

I gotta say, there really is some people who go too far in the comment section

I’m an ICU nurse and I get grossed out with stool still even though I deal with it often lol. Some things in health care are just gross, but you deal with it 😂 and congrats!!

People have such unrealistic expectations of professionals in general. Keep up the good work, Dr. C!

Man, people are tough! I’m with you, we all have those one or two things that get to them in the med field. I survived a 43 year year nursing career, and I still had difficulty with certain things. For me, the sound of retching or expectorating sputum, makes me want to gag! Not the body fluids themselves, but the sound. The smell of gangrene or gas gangrene is another. At one point, I worked on a vascular thoracic unit, and saw ( and smelled) my share of horrific, non-healing vascular wounds..definitely high on my list, and even more so when said wounds are crawling with thousands of flesh-eating maggots! My point is exactly the same as yours- no matter how much it grossed me out, my patients never knew it. Am I guilty of perhaps tucking an alcohol pad inside the corner of my mask to cover the smell? I’ll leave that up to the reader. And never once did it stop me from giving what I (hope) was professional, empathetic, and compassionate care. Indeed, my heart went out to these folks, because of the suffering they were enduring because of their conditions! Oh, and one more thing on my list….long, dirty fingernails and toenails, with who know what caked underneath. You’ve been harshly and unfairly judges by those trolls, who really don’t know anything about you, and how you do your job. You learn early on when you work in the medical field to grow a Teflon layer of skin….nothing sticks to Teflon. Keep doing what you do. And congratulations on passing your board certifications. Besides my BSN, I held certifications in both Med-Surg/Gerontology, and Oncology. It’s no small feat to pass those exams. I retired a little over a year ago, and this year when renewals came around, I made the decision to let my license and certifications lapse, closing that chapter of my life. It was bittersweet for me, but I had a good run and a great career, and you will too!

There’s probably a ton of *terrible* medical professionals out there I guess, me being one of them. I worked in critical care and dialysis my entire career, I loved my job and my patients, but I’m still aversed by the smell of bloody stool! Not a one pt ever knew that, though, as I maintained my professionalism. Those of us in the medical field totally understand where you’re coming from. Just ignore the others!

Congratulations! That’s super exciting after the long journey you’ve been on! Way to go!

Congratulations on double certification Dr. C. That's quite an accomplishment 🥳 Please excuse the rude comments. Don't think twice about these comments. I'd like to have these rude people gown up with me when I have to unpack a constipated patient!! They have absolutely no idea what medical professionals do every single day that grosses us out. You just jump right in and do it. So, again congratulations Doctor.

Congrats! I think people essentially want robots as doctors. You normalizing this discussion about things, that are very natural to the human condition, is very important and I appreciate that. This is only scratching the surface on normalizing the fact that doctors are humans. Many people seem to be ignorant; do people really think that doctors never get grossed out by anything? Lots of people want to keep doctors in this small box; so that they should just treat patients and that's it, no emotion, no empathy etc. But what happens with those same people who want an empathic doctor, who cares for them, and goes the extra mile for them, or doesn't stop until they figure out what's wrong and come to a conclusion with their possible diagnosis? All this isn't going to happen if the doctor is a robot, I am glad you are normalizing this big issue :)

It is hilarious that people write essays attacking someone’s character because they don’t like throw up

I started radiology residency to become a radiologist because you and your videos made me go into this field, so I don't know, with these people's logic I'll probably be a terrible doctor with you, thank you for that privilege. :D Anyway, huge congrats!!

You’re a champ. When I worked as a unit secretary I once answered a call light that a patient’s family put on because the patient vomited. I was already nauseous in the first trimester of my pregnancy at the time. The smell totally overcame me and I thought I had a face of stone but the patient’s family was like “are you okay? You kinda look like you’re going to pass out”. 😬 I’m not cut out for patient care. If you have a true face of stone it’s impressive 👏

Dr.Cellini you’re amazing and your videos are extremely helpful! I appreciate the authenticity you bring! 🙏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽

There are sooooo many other things going on in the world: poverty, global warming, racism, COVID-19, infrastructure (roads and bridges)......... I will continue to wonder why people say and write that negativity. sidenote: the smell of bleach makes me nauseous....... Keep up the good work Dr. C. One Love 😍😍

So true, we deal with everything with a poker face but that doesn't mean we love poop, vomit and blood. We just do it because it needs to be done. (I had someone faint next to me while operating) You're definitely not a bad doctor. Keep up the good work! Greetings from another interventional radiology fellow from Germany 🇩🇪 🙂

Love you Dr. Cellini. Your videos help me a lot as a pre med. I’m in the same boat as you thinking that poop and vomit is gross. It’s supposed to be. Anyways, you’re a huge inspiration and keep being you my man 💪

You’re hilarious! Love how open and real you are… thank you!

Congratulations on passing your final exams 👏 it must feel good to have that behind you. I agree that most healthcare workers have certain things they have difficulty with but as you said, the patients won’t have any idea about that if you are professional. I can’t imagine getting through your training unless you suck it up, otherwise someone who was training you along the way would have mentioned it. You seem like a nice guy and I wouldn’t mind you as my doctor if I needed your particular services. People in the comments can be so mean, negative and hurtful. I have had a couple of health instances in my life that were messy but no one that treated me made me feel bad about it and I’m sure they weren’t having fun but they kept it professional. I enjoy your channel…keep doing you 😊

Congratulations Dr. Cellini you are a great role model for us medical students interested in radiology especially IR. Thank you so much for sharing your experiences. What’s your take on independent vs integrated IR Residencies for DO students?

Congratulations, Dr Cellini. How did your wife and you celebrate 🎉?

I live in another state, so I unfortunately won't get the opportunity to be your patient. I am now subscribed and plan on watching more videos. Started with "How I memorized everything". Maybe fellow colleagues, who lived in frat houses may be more comfortable with vomit. However I highly doubt they were up at 5am studying like you, much less condescending their notes to one page to make sure they grasp the material like you and your study buddy did. I just had major surgery and am on day 3 of recovery, listening to your top 7 video, was very comforting. Yes it does show that you ( and all Doctors) are human, and this side of Heaven, the bodies we live in can be pretty 🤢 gross at times. Thank you for your commitment to your field, Congratulations on passing your Final Exam and Boards. I work with 3 year olds, so my language most days is very simple 😌. Wishing you a very Merry Christmas 🎄 and a long Successful Career!

I love this video. I like to think that you waited to get double certified to respond to these idiotic comments. It’s like you are slapping them by just being intelligent and open about how it feels to be a doctor.

How do you know if you have a doctor is a good or a bad doctor when you never see them in the life

Undergraduate microbiology student from East Tennessee State here (and fellow kid from Georgia!). I just want to say that your videos give me so much encouragement as an undergraduate student who has dreams of being a physician. You embody the exact personality and charisma that I think every procedural/surgical specialty needs. Perspective is always hard. It is just so difficult to understand the things people have to go through, until you wear their shoes for a while. Dr. Cellini you are an inspiration and your patients are blessed to have you. Go dawgs!

CONGRATULATIONS on your double boards!!! Enjoy the fruits of your labor!

Wonderful video Dr. Cellini I can’t understand how people can think that the people in the medical Feld are not disturbed when you for en example have vomit all over you . But I can understand that you don’t want your caretaker to think that you are disgusting but I can almost promise that all physicians, nurses and all other people in the medical Feld don’t think YOU are disgusting it’s just the (Tex: vomit )that disturbs them and nothing else And congratulations on passing your exams hope you are proud over your shelf 👍

You're cool as a fan Dr. Cellini. Don't let haters talkin crazy permeate your cerebral membrane or steal our joy! 🙂

That videos was actually one of the funniest I've ever seen and I can relate to it so much. Also almost every doctor/nurse/ tech I know gets disgusted by vomit

I'm so late seeing and commenting on your videos, but that was the video that helped me decide to become a nurse. It kind of made me think, 'Oh good, I'm not the only one', and help alleviate some of my anxiety.

People love to put doctors (and sometimes nurses-of which I am (retired))on a pedestal! It scares them when we become”human”!

Lol you got me with the skin flakes comment. I usually refer to it as "elder snow," because I myself traditionally ran across it in the more seasoned population. Any way negative comments have to come from people who are not in the field, and think that medical professionals are not human. This was a very professional and excellent follow up video!

All of these people are being hypocrits. Literally everyone gets grossed out by poop. (Well, there are some people with poop fetish, but that seems worse lol).

I saw the original video and there was absolutely nothing wrong with it. Vomit and diarrhea grosses me out too! I'm glad you posted it. I also realize doctors and nurses are human and have normal reactions to things all humans too. My daughter is an RN so I get to hear all the things she does and sees. Keep up the good work and would be privileged to have you do a procedure on me. The comments from those people were totally uncalled for and they have no idea what they were talking about.

Throwing SHADE by highlighting the spelling/grammar errors! LMAO

Congratulations!!! And I think you are fabulously relatable and funny!!! I for one loved that video 😁

You are awesome , and you always inspiring me ,specially as a radiology resident . Keep up the good work

I wish I could have a doctor like you someday. Human, funny, logical and knowledgeable. I can tell you like people and like what you are doing.

CONGRATULATIONS !!!!!!!! GOOD STUFF ! I WILL BE TAKING EM BOARDS IN A LESS THAN A YEAR !!!!! MUST FEEL SOOO GOOD. KEEP IT UP MAN ! GREAT VIDEO REGARDING THOSE COMMENTS: SOME PEOPLE ARE JUST IGNORANT. IN THE ED I DEAL WITH POOP/VOMIT/BLOOD ALL THE TIME. WE DO IT BUT NO BODY EVER SAID THEY LIKE IT. STAY SAFE EVERYONE PLEASE !

This tells me that patients think we LIKE poop and pee and vomit. That if we don't relish their illness, then we don't care. What?!

The people posting those comments have clearly never worked in the medical field. Do they honestly think that just because doctors, nurses etc. are taking care of them that they never get grossed out by anything? We are not robots we are humans. It’s normal to get grossed out by various bodily fluids. It does not mean you’re unprofessional.

As a patient, the only thing that still grosses me out, and it's more like something that makes my skin crawl, is when a phlebotomist or nurse or whoever wipes an area of my skin with an alcohol wipe before stabbing me with a needle. I'm fine with needles. I've literally had IVs/blood taken THOUSANDS of times. It's the alcohol wipes.

I'm a pediatric nurse practitioner - these negative comments are CRAZY! I definitely get grossed out by a number of things. That doesn't make me devoid of the knowledge, compassion, or empathy required to do what I do every day. I've worked as a floor nurse, in the primary care setting and now as a hospitalist specialized in pediatric gene/onc and have yet to meet a SINGLE person who enjoys those aspects of the jobs. Those things are NOT what make the job worth while and it's not at all what keeps me going back every shift ...

I love your honesty. What world do they live in.

The one thing I realize here everyone who wrote these comments don’t work in the medical field. Not one person who works in medicine says I love when a patient vomits on me or I get their poop on my pants and smell like poop all day. Thank you for always being honest. It’s more about lack of knowledge from these commenters. It’s comparable to a telemarketer saying gosh I love when someone, screams, yells and curses at me, it’s the best! Every job has something that isn’t fun, you just brought awareness to it.

Congratulations on the double certification!

🗣🗣 PREACH.....& CONGRATULATIONS, DR. CELLINI ON ALL YOUR ACCOMPLISHMENTS🎉

You’re awesome! Thanks for your honesty. As a med student, it’s so nice to hear the real, human side of working in healthcare. We have to communicate with each other to help us navigate gross stuff. I got through anatomy lab after a fellow classmate suggested essential oil drops in a mask. This is how we get through this challenging profession. Congratulations on your boards!!!

I've been working as a CNA the past 3 years, in hopes of getting into nursing school and I work with poop and other nasty bodily fluids on a daily basis-- these things gross me out completely but someone's gotta do it!!! Lol!

I am an RN. I have been elbow deep in poop and many other body fluids for almost 40 years. I have worked a respiratory step down floor where people hack and spit all day long. I have seen just about everything from open heart surgery to the burn unit in my career. The one thing that I cannot tolerate to this day whether it is a patient, my children or my grandchildren is vomit. I once had someone roll over in their bed, pull open the pocket on my uniform and vomit right into it and down the front of me. That nearly ended my career right then and there. So I guess I am a terrible nurse, terrible mother and a terrible grandmother too!

I was rotating with my psych resident who was doing her medicine rotation and we saw a patient that had declined very quickly. We were pre rounding and the PT had an impaired swallowing reflex and had mucus and saliva pooling in the back of their throat and creating a gurgling sound. We worried about aspiration and asked the nurse to help us but for some reason my resident got super nauseous at the sound and had to step out of the room. An hour later we were in the ED looking at a patient vomiting repeatedly in front of us and she didn't bat an eye. Medicine is so interesting. Luckily I haven't encountered a body fluid I can't handle yet lol.

Holly molly! Seriously if they watch all your videos they would know u would never act grossed out in front of a pt . Gosh they have no rt to judge u. Your honest and speak your mind. That's why we love u. Every doctor has something that grosses them out. Even nurses. So shocked at there comments. 😳 have a great week oh and a huge CONGRATS 👏🙌WOW 2 BOARD LICENSES!! 🥰💜💜💜

I can tolerate patients vomiting without response, but when my kitty was retching last night, it set off a chain reaction in me!🤷🏻‍♀️

When I was the hospital this summer for a myriad of issues (adrenal crisis, kidney failure, sepsis, and severe electrolyte imbalances) at my hospital the Ostomy nurse has to see you to get you the ostomy supplies you need. My ileostomy bag blew out and We were struggling to find a bag that would stay until the wound ostomy nurse could see me. At one point I was naked on the toilet and my ileostomy squirted at the CNA and she dodged it but I felt so bad and she said that wasn’t even the worst things that happened to her that day . She also said patients have intentionally throw poop on her before so it happening by true accident doesn’t bother her. I used to be afraid of vomiting but my whole GI tract is paralyzed and I vomit 6-12 times a day so I have had to get over that. My thing is I want to like you so bad and I do for the most part but you being an IR doctor is what bothers me a tiny bit. I have severe medical PTSD that was caused by IR doctors and it is so bad I have to be deeply sedately for all IR procedures to manage the trauma but also the pain (lidocaine and local anesthesia doesn’t work on me).

As a DO physician yourself, wish you did a bit more to address the stigma and misinformation regarding DOs. Like the Hassan Manaj comments

My college is introducing a Vascular Interventional Radiology program soon and I'm PUMPED for it. Congrats on passing boards!

Congratulations!!! Moving forward!!!

I hate that nasty stuff too. Im glad you talked about it.

"A...2...and 3" makes me CRINGE! But I love your day/week in the life videos. You keep it real, and inspire me to continue pursuing medicine.

No one is born immune to poo, vomit, snot, and pee. That's what general surgery intern year is for.

Yay congratulations!!!! Thats amazing!!! I love you and your wife!! You guys are amazing

Lol. So a question to all these negative commenters. If somebody vomited on you, would you have a straight face with a smile?

Yes🙌🏻🙌🏻🙌🏻 we are all human and all have something that makes our stomach turn!

I’ve worked in aged care for over two years now, and have experienced many episodes of bowel motions, blood, vomit etc. Cold vomit and cold mucus/phlegm are the things that gets to me for some reason.

Double Board Certified 👌 Congratulations, Dr. C. 🎊 🎊 🎊 🎊 🎊 🎊

Yep, nurse here and the bodily fluid I hate the most is sputum

Do people honestly think we LIKE being vomited on? Healthcare workers aren't going to go EWWWWW and shame someone but we are allowed to have feelings too ffs.

I major in general medicine and I apperantly under the gun until I find this fantastis video! From Vietnam. Thank u so much!

Congrats on passing your exams Doctor C, well deserved! It must feel so rewarding and great knowing how much work you put in to have it pay off!

It’s the Sputum for me! I’m sure you’re a fantastic Dr. Keep doing what you’re doing!

I think you are a very genuine and talented person. It takes a lot of hard work to get where you are. Some people are jealous and lash out in disrespectful ways. I am actually about to start my first semester for radiologic Imaging and I have been thinking about IR a lot. I love your videos and I also love how informative you can be. Since you are the doctor, could you tell me a bit about your experience with working alongside the technologists? If I were to consider IR after school, what kind of tips would you give to the x-ray tech?

I’ve been following you for a very long time. I started to watch bc my twin sister actually has her own interventional radiologist. She has to have central lines now bc her veins are shot. She actually has no bladder. It was taken out 13 years ago. She started to trust this Interventional Radiologist and will not allow anyone to touch her except him.

I was a CNA for 2 years! I cleaned poop all the time. It still disgusts me! Totally normal!

All that I can say is "Love Them DAWGS". Great follow-up, great video and Congrats.

Congratulations 🍾🎊 on passing!!! I look forward to viewing future content and all you’re other content I say “all other”because I’ve watched some of your videos and you most definitely earned a subscription! Good job and good luck !!

Here's the problem: The public are too used to their preconceived notion that doctors should be perfect, that you airing out your disgusts automatically triggered a defensive reflex of weeding out the imperfection. And that's just things that gross you out. As long as you didn't actually get so grossed out that you ran away from the patient, who cares? And this attitude unfortunately goes towards more serious issues like medical errors. You can't air it out in public, your colleagues get very uncomfortable and try to change the subject, and there's the constant fear that your boss will throw you under the bus and get you prosecuted. So, who can you vent your grievances to? The wall? Confession booth? Seriously, since when does "professional" mean robotic, stoic and flawless?

That gave me a good chuckle! I work at a desk in the ER and even though I don't give direct medical care, sometimes the smells are so ghastly and intense that we all make discreet jokes about it just to get through the day. I know that it could be me who is the stinker some time (and probably was, come to think of it, in that operation I had back in 2005 where they didn't have me bathe or shower for 9 days straight - yeeeesh! -- I was even grossing myself out then!)

I imagine you’re an amazing physician and I’d be honored to have you treat me!!!!!!!!

Congratulations and happy Radiology Week!

As a nurse, it never bothered me to stand by patients during vomiting episodes. Made me want to vomit to empty the container they used. But the patient never knew it. I understand Dr. Cellini. It is the vomit not the person he doesn’t like.

Hey Doc! Phlebotomist and pre-PA! It's sputum for me! Congrats on passing your boards! I'm also subscribed to Andriana! You two make great content!

I am a medical student, and I can attest we see some pretty gnarly things in the hospital. We talk about it all the time! For every one person who feels strongly offended, there are fifty of us who love a good gross out story.

Congratulations, loved the video, and laughed at the thought on the bloody 💩

Dude I just finished House M.D and I’m sad about Wilson 😂

I'm a med surg nurse and I get grossed out by trachs. The thought of having to suction out someone's phlegm makes me gag. In fact I did start gagging one time when I had to do it. I would rather pay another nurse to do it for me.

Right on buddy! I totally agree with you, no shame in this shit (pun intended) and you’re doing awesome work. Keep it up and I know this is an old video, but congrats on your board certifications!

I'm a Forensic Anthropologist. I can take a LOT of stuff. Except snot. Other people's snot. Snot makes me gag every time.

Mucus /snort🤧 grosses me out 🤢. I love this response to the comments. I thought it was just me . Healthcare is a human operated career. We are not robots.😌

I think you’re a fantastic doctor. I almost need an IR doctor about a year ago but my condition improved and didn’t need whatever procedure they were going to perform. If I ever needed an IR doctor, I wish it could be you. It’s hard to find good doctors that you can trust. Unfortunately I have several autoimmune diseases which means I have several doctors. I’ve been fortunate with most of my doctors and I have no qualms about changing doctors if there’s a conflict. Even though I’ve not seen you with a patient, I know you would be terrific and have a great bed side manner. The nasty things that people said just need to be ignored. I can honestly say that I don’t think anyone would enjoy getting thrown up on, peed on or pooped on.

im an SPT you think i enjoy massaging people's feet? no but it is done to help them recover from an injury lmao i personally hate touching feet but that doesnt stop me from doing the skill correctly for the patients gain

Congratulations 🎉👏 for double board certified 👍 you are great doctor bro

I love your videos . I recently chose radiology and you are one of the person that inspired me to choose this field . Hoping to enter into intervention radiology after 3 years of residency.

Is it true that radiologists and other doctors that work on scans/imaging and are rarely in contact with patients don't enjoy the interactions with them ?

People sure do love getting angry over anything and everything.

Congrats Dr. C!!!

Yes, let’s normalize people being human beings while at the same time being healthcare professionals.

the “shaking head my” part got me 😂
