Words can't describe what an incredible asset some nurses are. Especially being a new doctor and the senior wouldn't come assist for whatever reason, the nurse would always step up, and calmly suggest advice, never being patronizing to the poor stressed out doc. As a doctor in an understaffed hospital with nurses helping carrying the brunt, I bake them a cake every week to say thank you. Sorry for the cholesterol but I love you

I've been an attending for over 20 years in the same hospital. When Stephanie or Kim call me from the floor, I know it's either something I really need to know, or they're calling because the protocol says they have to, but they've already handled it.

Love the breathless panic vs the calm laconicism 😂. “Are you a drummer?!” 😂

[alixander]

I feel like it could be funny to have old nurse/young doctor and young nurse/old doctor too.

I think I flipped a PVC from laughing so hard at this!!!! 🤣🤣🤣 “Maybe I have low potassium because I’m tired all the time”

[Alyssa-jfwz]

Love it! I remember my first times on call as an intern. “What do the residents usually do? Should I wake up my chief for this?” So many great nurses saved me a lot of embarrassment

I've been an ICU nurse for 31 years, and this had me choking on my spit from laughing so hard. It's so true! I would love to see a " new doc vs old nurse" video.
Keep up the good work.

Mom was an RN for 50 years, most in cardiac care. She was an excellent diagnostician. The old docs trusted her, the new ones learned from her.

The ‘im going to bed’ and ‘i wont’ clinched it for me. I’ve been to icus where the nurses are staring down the doctors like ‘contradict me, I dare you’ and the doctors are like ‘it seems you’ve got this down anyway’ 🤣

As an old nurse (41 years) I thoroughly enjoyed the comparison. Troponin levels started becoming a marker in the 90s. Before that our marker was usually CK-MB.

Married to a nurse 3 years before medical school, she was an ICU and PACU nurse at the hospital I did my medical school and residency. I knew the seasoned nurses who, had been on the PEDS floor 15 years before I got there and would be there 15 years after I was gone, new as much or more than what I did to manage the patients. Even after I had been in practice for decades I still relied heavily on the nurses, they were my eyes and ears in the hospital while I was seeing patients in the office. The more experienced nurses knew what I was going to say before I spoke.

[TaraMichelleMD]

Funniest one yet!! That nurse is almost as hilarious as you are, and that’s saying a LOT! “Sir, are you a drummer?” Lmao!

[bigedslobotomy]

This is so true, especially if an older doctor, an older nurse, and an older respiratory therapist are all male. We had a patient that needed intubation, and we communicated mostly via a series of grunts and gestures. I think we spoke a total of 5 words. It went very sooth.

[catlinboy]

I'm a new-ish nurse, two years qualified. I think it's hilarious when new doctors ask me about things I've never done, and it's night shift, and the only solution i can come up with is ''err I can ask the nurse in charge??'. Older nurse, please come and save us, we need your experience!

[dlarsen]

I'm an old nurse and still get nervous calling doctors lol

[SaSpursFan]

You over estimate the fact that a first day doctor would known how to replace K. LOL

[viktoriatoth]

Being a nurse for 31 years, I felt that. Freakin' accurate. 😂😂😂

[NurseInTraining]

This is so accurate. I've seen this in real time. Doctors and nurse say no more than 3 sentences to each other and they still come up with a new patient plan before the last nod is given

My uncle was in the hospital and his BP got too low. The nurse sent me to buy chips from the vending machine because having my uncle eat salt would be faster than getting meds from the pharmacy. Off I went, and came back with three varieties.

As a nurse in a resident teaching hospital I appreciate this video. Old doctors and old nurses have a trust bond It has gotten harder with all the computers following everyone. Glad I recently retired.
