First Day of Pulmonology

Don’t touch the vent!

[GabrielDesmond]

If you ever hear a concerned "What up, vent bro?", you know who's getting admitted next.

[dr.floridamanphd]

Oddly enough, that respiratory therapist is probably on a cigarette break 😂

Family Medicine: "Just two? That sounds nice."

Sent this immediately to my dad who is a critical care pulmonologist and does sleep medicine. He called me back about 3 minutes after I sent it laughing and saying this was “very perceptive”

[TIBYCOLLINS]

Anesthesia's cope towel never fails to make me laugh :D

Waiting for the pulmonologists to come in and say, “actually it’s pulmonary, not pulmonology”

[deepakrajendra]

The measurement of the FEV1 by pretending to laugh at a joke was brilliant!

The resporatory therapist gag is ON POINT! These guys can be a bit hard to find, but the moment you really need one, they magically appear out of thin air. Or at least that how things were during my ICU rotation

babe wake up new dr glaucomflecken video just dropped

[sldenn]

When he said board the patients in the ED for 86 hours until a bed opens up— I felt that! So true!

[gkd]

I was waiting for the rules of the ICU: Air goes in and out, blood goes round and round. Don't touch the vents and don't touch the pumps.

RT here. Thanks for the shout out. We do respond to a good loud PEEP. 😅

[caravictoria]

Respiratory therapists are so overwhelmed and undervalued.

[KxNOxUTA]

"Peep" 😂😅😂😅 that did it for me. Oh goodness!

[darklucida]

LMAO this makes sense as to why the 2 sleep doctors working near me are both coincidentally pulmonologist

[ShahadQu]

As a respiratory care student I am extremely happy to be finally mentioned in your videos. That PEEP was hilarious 😂😂😂

I have probably had sleep apnea my entire life. But I didn't get diagnosed with it until about 1997 with a really severe case of it. The doctor was a Pulmonologist and the company sent a Respiratory Therapist out to my house to do the set-up. The machines were a lot less sophisticated than they are today and louder! The masks were a lot harder TOO and hurt my face. There was just no way I could use it, so I told them to come and take it back. I ended up losing a lot of weight and having a submucous resection of my inferior turbinates with a ENT surgeon. Then, I got transferred over to Neurology where they found that I didn't have any REM stage of sleep at ALL! ( This is over decades) The Sleep medicine doctor advised me to switch psychiatric medications and I went back on CPAP treatment again. Then, I found out from my Dentist that I have Bruxism and have ground my teeth almost flat! NOW I'm currently wearing a night guard and using nasal pillows for my CPAP treatment. WHEW, what a long strange trip it's been! I'm currently about 159 lb. Down from my highest weight of 387 lb. And still hoping to continue towards a better way to keep breathing, sleeping and living! Thanks to ALL those who have helped me and those who are training to help others in these kinds of situations! Never give up on people no matter how long or what difficulties they might be facing! Warmest regards from Greensboro, NC USA.

You're reminding me so much of when my wonderful critical care pulmo hit burn out and ended up a sleep doctor at another hospital. I loved, loved, loved that man. He was the first one to think I had mastocytosis instead of crazy. Finally got testing and a diagnosis.

[JMag]

I'm an ED nurse and the part about critical care patients in the ED for 87 hours was so on point!

[Viladin]

I’m a respiratory therapist, and nothing will make me perk up my ears more than hearing a nurse or intensivist mentioning PEEP.
