This video is a prime example of how busy a doctor is. She filmed this during the winter holidays and it is now being uploaded. More power unto you Dr. Sanchez!

Dr. Sanchez, Thank you for studying for years, sacrificing most of your life, and working so hard to be come a surgeon so that you can help us all when we really need it.

The fact they make a surgeon work this many hours in a row is mind boggling. Makes zero sense. Obviously it’s not your fault. The system is totally messed up. You are amazing!

[jimreddyreddy]

What doctors are doing should be illegal. The hospitals have to have a better solution than to work that much. Much respect .

[Raevany]

Whenever I think I have had a long day at work and I am exhausted and feel like I cannot go on, I will think of you. Thank you for taking care of people.

Night shift SICU nurse here!! We love our surgery residents. Y’all are incredible. Keep it up, your hard work, I know is not going unnoticed!

[teeski]

These hours are not necessary. Maybe in the past they had a purpose but now it’s dangerous and can cause deadly mistakes. No one makes good decisions when they’re exhausted.

You are my biggest inspiration & whenever I am a plastic surgeon, I will still be keeping up with your journey. Super woman 🙏🏽

& AGAIN I will say…. how in the world are football players, reality tv cast making MILLIONS?!?!?!

my son within past year has enlisted in the army & when I tell u what hes already missed out on, all hard work he’s done & when he told me that he makes like $2500 month I wanted to throw up!!

Thank God for giving us heros/angels such as Drs police officers nurses military etc….
Thank you for all u do❤❤❤❤

It doesn't make any sense to work a surgeon this hard. If someone is going to cut into my body they better be well rested and relaxed. If not the chance of making a mistake is high. It shouldn't be allowed.

[AS-duhu]

I luv that you love the follow up with your patients. This is so me as well.

[ENIIPAUL]

Not the coffee calculations so you don’t get palpitations for me😂😂.
Welldone Dr Sanchez💪🏽💪🏽

I’m a Nursing student & I truly love how you shed light on the reality of the field you’re in! Not just the benefits of your career choice but truly the hard work and knowledge that goes into this. Wow!

[birbsandsports]

I don't know how you do it. I could never, ever, ever in a million years do general surgery. My body and brain just couldn't handle it. Major props to you, doctor.

[celestesalero]

You are literally such a GREAT ROLE MODEL ! the fact that you are on the go and have time for your family is INSANE!!! your daughter will look at this and be proud of you !!

[MelissaGaleshewe]

To see a woman of color being the Chief (!) Surgery (!) Resident AND being a mom, PLUS being gorgeous with great skin — you are amazing!! 🙌🏽🙌🏽

I dont know whats more impressive your work or how you mange to sustain work life balance
Edit: I appreciate the love I’m getting on this comment I say Impressive sparingly, because on one hand the life style she has is slowly killing her and we shouldn’t normalize it and think its healthy or sustainable for even a second and on the other hand masochism and grind culture is the only way you can justify this work load. Surgery will really break you apart just to build you up again lol.
