This is not only the best video on Rachel’s channel but also the most important video in the medical section of YouTube. I wrote Rachel a comment back then, telling her that I worked as a resident doctor in two very different countries: Syria, a third world country, and Germany, a first world country. The miserable life of a resident doctor and the exploitation of resident doctors is the same. It’s the same everywhere but in different ways. I just don’t know what to say anymore. I’ve kind of lost hope that the situation may change somewhere, sometime.

I feel like a major issue is that once a resident becomes an attending they dont use their influence effectively to make it better for the next set of residents. They rather focus on their own work and life which is not a bad thing but not as helpful for the next gen.

It is amazing to hear that MDs and everyone in the healthcare industry are feeling the same way. I am a Sterile Processing Technician and felt that it was only my profession that was feeling the squeeze. This is crazy

@7:02 depression and negative emotions more generally are correlated with, if not directly caused by, a lack of sleep--a notorious condition for young residents and doctors. medical errors and lack of mental acuity are also caused by a lack of sleep. some compare lack of sleep to alcohol inebriation.

Hope you are doing well, Dr. Jubbal! Have been watching your video so long! I remember I felt so sad and disappointed about Loma Linda when you quit your residency at Loma Linda. As a nurse working for Loma Linda, I have always had high expectations for Loma Linda as a Christian institution. I had some encounters with some of your Co-residents. I remember one of plastic residents treated one of my patients SO GOOD!! I talked to your program director and made sure this particular resident got a very good evaluation for his great bedside manners. Now, I am a second year medical student at Loma Linda. I am a non traditional medical student with 2 kids. Honestly, I am very scared about the system. I know that last year residents here fought for unionization and the administration reached an agreement with them. Hopefully, more good things come up in the next couple of years. All the best!

I love her channel & how she is truly showing all sides of medicine & the real of how it is. Her videos will hopefully spark the change needed in the field of medicine.

Internal med resident here. I relate to Rachel's video so much. It has been really tough for me

[lynettelewis]

Sad. I just had a young dr in residency tell me she was leaving medicine. Mind you she was examining me but I asked if she was leaving to another hospital. She answered me honestly. After that conversation she seemed to feel better. I told her good for her and to take care of herself and good luck. I could feel her tension when she entered the room. Way too young to already be burnt out. 😢

The schools don't care either. I'm repeating first year and no one had checked in on me or any of the other students repeating. Even fellow students. No one has bothered to say "how are you feeling about your exams in 3 weeks." Not my friends from last year and not my friends from this year. People are just consumed in their own stuff, which is understandable. But the school and the hospitals need to do better.

I appreciate the objectivity of your content that prioritizes the evidence and statistics surrounding various topics.

Super helpful video, Dr. Kevin! Even I'm not a doctor, I interacted with doctors by taking my clients to their medical appointment, as Mental Health Support Worker and Drug Counselor. The underlying causes are deeply rooted in the structure and culture of the healthcare system. Some of the issues that Physicians facing are, long work hours, inadequate staffing, lack of work-life balance, insufficient support systems. Addressing the crisis of overwork and burnout among doctors and residents, will require a concerted effort by healthcare institutions, policymakers, medical education systems, and society as a whole to prioritize the well-being of these critical healthcare providers! 🙌❤

Wow I’ve been following her through her medical school journey. She was such an inspiration. I’m so glad that she posted this update.

3:01 this made me feel a lot better. Thankyou

[rachelkhoury]

thank you for this video, I hope to see change in the future because residents are not robots their humans just like their patients and when doctors advice on healthy Diets and sleep and lifestyle changes but they end up the victims of their systems, pushed to the edge, depressed and suicidal, I mean its time for a change!! and I think the more we bring awareness and understanding and empathy to the subject and to what the resident is going through the more we can try in any sort of way to help relieve the pressure off of them and bring the joy and the passion for the job back, and this change does not only affect the residents but also the patients and the care their getting. I truly hope that something would be done in the near future so instead of losing the lives of our young doctors, we'd be saving them and our patients.

You said it so right " Rather than control my emotion, accepting my emotions and examine my emotion with curiosity" Buddhism talks about this technique.

As a nurse I was aware of the high rate of suicide among Dr's, only recently did I find out nurses too have a high rate of suicide. I've come to realize that the current nursing exodus since covid is simply due to hospitals using the same tactics they have got away with relatively unscathed for decades with residents of long hours, poor pay and deciding to do the same with nurses. Only difference is nurses don't have the same amount of student loan debt so it is easier for them to leave, and they don't have to stay at the hospital to complete a residency to practice. They can leave at any time, barring a TRAP which forces them to pay thousands back for the sake of the minimal job training they receive if they leave early in the first couple years and work for a greedy corp like HCA. Most nurses are told they need to get a year of bedside, but the truth is that isn't even necessary, and the younger nurses are going into clinics right away and the ones in the hospital are leaving after six months, sometimes less, planning their escape route. The time of nurses making a lifetime career in the hospital is over! If all residents and nurses were unionized maybe the conditions would improve. And with big corporate hospital systems, insurance companies and private equity taking over in health care, unions are needed more than everywhere for everyone even Dr's who are now more than ever working as employees!

Thank you for this video! If we cannot save our physicians, how can we expect them to save us?

[beatyz]

5:44 oh my god, that happens all the time! I don't know if I watched her actual video on this. Yeah I felt like this for a long chunk of time in medical school ❤ crying in the morning because you even opened your eyes 😐 it is, unfortunately, part of the bag

And omg, after!!? When you look at your past self and think.... "I used to DREAM for this!" And just feel a little sad about it

[lori]

I am doing EMDR, IFS and DBT to help my mental health. I practice as an RN for 29 years. I also was a codependent and have childhood trauma. I also go to support groups for codependency and have a co sponsor. I struggled with depression, anxiety and panic attacks. I lived in survival mode most my life. I would just push myself through life. I am now building a life worth living. I am a burnt-out nurse. I get IBS-C. I have celiacs and hashimoto's. I have multiple chemical sensitivity. Since covid I am sicker. I am slowly getting better in therapy. I do yoga, QiGong and exercise.

I'm currently in the process of applying for the match and am questioning everything. I feel as though I've never recovered from the burnout I had in med school and now I have to rush to get residency, where I'm being told I'll suffer the worst kind of burnout. I look at you Dr. Jubbal, and wonder if I should just make a switch for the better. But how does one even do that when they've been just working for one thing all their life?
