  • Hi everyone!

  • Welcome to another episode of vlogmas.

  • For today's episode, I'll be featuring another YouTuber from the medical field.

  • His name is Dr. David Hindin.

  • David is a 4th year surgical resident and if you check out his YouTube channel you can

  • really tell that he puts just as much into his YouTube videos as he does into his work.

  • His videos are really awesome.

  • So without further ado, let's take a look at his typical day as a surgical resident.

  • Hey guys my name is David.

  • I'm a YouTuber and a 4th year surgery resident and I hope that you get a good nights sleep

  • tonight because tomorrow morning I'm gonna take you with me on a day at the hospital.

  • So my days start right around 5am on most days and if I'm being honest I usually hit

  • the snooze button a couple times.

  • If I'm doing really well, I'll have some time to make a little coffee but if not I'll just

  • grab it on the way to work.

  • Now, my morning commute depends on where I am.

  • So right now I'm actually on a rotation at an outside hospital to do some community surgery.

  • We kind of refer to it as the bread and butter general surgery cases that we do during residency.

  • So in the morning, when I get to the hospital, I typically drop my bags off first.

  • So this is the back area where the on call room is.

  • It's kind of in a random hallway.

  • This is... we call we call on on-call room but it's called "the doctor's quarters."

  • These are extra supplies.

  • If you are lucky you have time to sleep.

  • So this my on-call room.

  • Let's see on top of here there is a bunch of random stuff.

  • That's because we kind of accumulate supplies that are hard to find around the hospital

  • and then we leave them here, so they're not hard to find, especially if there is an emergency. This

  • is a chest tube and this is what goes in your chest if you have a collapsed lung or someone

  • has been stabbed and they have blood in their chest and you need to get it out quickly.

  • A bunch of random supplies in here.

  • I got a little stethoscope here and these are my loupes.

  • Loupes are kind of special magnifying glasses that some surgeons wear depending on what

  • kind of surgery your're doing.

  • So anything where you're working with really fine details.

  • Let's say you're sewing together two blood vessels, you're gonna wear these because this

  • magnifies the work that you're doing.

  • Everyday it's something a little bit different in the OR.

  • And the day that I filmed this we happened to be doing a robotic surgery.

  • Robotics surgery basically just means that you are using another tool to operate with.

  • So as you'll see here in the video there is the robot over the patient and you see the

  • moving arms but we actually control this from a console that's in the room.

  • So you can see what it looks like from the outside when someone is using their hands.

  • And here is what it looks like when you're sitting down in front of the console and here

  • is what it looks like on the inside of the console.

  • It's hard to really translate to the video here but it's essentially a fully immersive

  • three dimensional experience as you're sitting on the console.

  • So it's pretty cool to operate with and it's actually almost easier than operating normally.

  • And then after surgery we take our patients to the recovery unit where they wake up from

  • anesthesia and the nurses make sure that they're safe to leave the hospital and go back home

  • or it's where they recover before they get admitted to a floor.

  • So guys, thanks so much for hanging out!

  • I had a ton of fun sharing this bit of my life with you.

  • And if you'd like to see more make sure to come check out my YouTube channel.

  • And finally special thanks to Jamie for sharing this with her audience.

  • Jamie, it's been a bless working with you!
