Med Student vs Nurse

Who is who? Sometimes the similarities between different members of the healthcare team can unite us...sometimes they can make us laugh

*To clarify, the idea behind this video is that either character could be either role depending on how you interpret it.

I can imagine this med student and nurse giving each other a bottle of Gatorade and a fibre bar as a gag gift.

[genessab]

Wait which one is the med student and which one is

[ralfano]

There is almost no greater bond than that of a new resident who has no clue what’s going on with a patient and a new nurse who has no clue what’s going on with the patient 😂

[ajbp]

Hope the med studenten keeps that attitude when he/she graduate!

Ps. And I love that you don't really know which one is which.

'A little kindness goes a long way' very true.
I spent a bit of time in and out of the hospital for a few years, most of my 20's actually, and any kindness was much appreciated 🥰

[partyjams]

I was kinda worried by the title but I'm glad it was actually just them bonding

Nurses are amazing! My son was in the NICU. The nurses all got together and created a checklist to report important measurements to care for his health problems. Their hard work, compassion and care completed treatment in only 2 weeks. The doctors all said that it would be 6 months!

My son is 11 years old now and perfectly healthy. He's in the honors programs at school and on the swim team.

I am the biggest fan of nurses.

The biggest thing here that I love is him stating a little bit of kindness doesn't go unnoticed. As someone who is in the hospital way too often I can attest it doesn't matter who you are, even clean up crew, when they show kindness it means the world.

Many nurses excel with monitoring for, interpreting, and intervening on arrhythmia 😂

"Good luck with the constipation"
As someone with chronic constipation this made me lol.

So wholesome, I'm a medical video interpreter and I love how nurses are soooo patient with the patients, they are always so kind too, but underappreciated

[JacobRobitaille]

Meanwhile the cna is like "I was nurse in my home country and I'm chronically under assisted and under payed and nobody noticed the stage 3 bed sore I talked about last shift."

[lilys]

Us ancillary staff who also double as patients appreciate each and every one of you. Thank You 💐💐💐💐

[limalicious]

This is like doctors when I go in with a POTS attack. ELECTROLYTES!

[mikeengland]

As a nurse I love helping the residents out 😁

[nicolemascarenhas]

I worked with mostly student nurses and junior nurses during the covid pandemic in the icu... they were all so diligent in their work... and so lovely to talk to! Being the most junior doctor in the word it really helped

[LadyLabyrinth]

I love nurses, med students and student nurses, I was in the hospital for a month due to necrotising facitis and they were the ones that comforted me and kept me company when my family and couldn't be there and especially when I was in isolation from catching Covid on ward. They were they only things that got me through ❤️

It's nice when once a year a Provider acknowledges how hardworking and dedicated the laboratory folks are and the fact that we man every patient in the entire hospital including the walk-ins and ER and no just one floor.

Had a Physician last night call me in BB asking if I could expedite a T&S because the nurse delayed the draw by 2 HOURS. I'd told the nurse to go ahead to send thr T&S (mind you it expired the previous DAY and said patient is know to need blood every 12-24hrs). The Physician was first wanting to rush the T&S that had just landed in my hand 3 MINUTES ago though I had been waiting for it over an hour. I explained the process that we first make sure is properly labeled etc. Then spin in the centrifuge 10mins and then run it on the instrument (or manually) but regardless will not take less than 30mins and that's assuming we 1 have no other patients in the entire hospital (yeah right) and 2 assuming the patient does not have any antibodies (which then could 30mins into 2-5hrs depend on the situation). It's just not that simple. He was very kind and changed his tone and said I'm not trying to be critical I appreciate you and all you do. I'm sorry for rushing it, the nurses have delayed the draw and was getting a little anxious.

But I personally have been thanked and given some positive vibes my providers multiple times. But we definitely don't see it enough. And nurses can be the rudes people on earth and think they are above all especially, us--the Scientist that are the ones that tell YOU what's wrong with the patient. Our Motto "Without us, your doctor's just guessing 😉 ".

So yesterday I spent 10 hours in A&E (/ER) due to an intractable migraine.

6 hours was waiting. Half trying to sleep, half (painfully in every way) trying to distract myself.

Long story short, I found myself on the Wikipedia page of the hospital - 'Royal Infirmary of Edinburgh' reading its history.
It was the first ever 'voluntary hospital for the poor' back in the 18th century, in a house on a street still called Infirmary Street (house long demolished) & when it quickly got funding for a larger location it appointed a nurse/ matron to run it.

I learned it was founded by someone with the same surname as mine, & later generations were Deans of the medical school. Ancestry research some time in my future - first names are also common among men in my family, although that can happen within clans.

The ad for the nursing matron requested _"a childless female without 'another' family to care for"_ so she could dedicate all time to patients.

I'm reading that (through one eye, one patched bc light ⚡⚡⚡), while sitting in a massive 21st century hospital complex with many male nurses coming out to get patients and introducing themselves: _"hi I'm Bob, one of the nurses here..."_ as if that had always been a totally normal thing to say, as they walked the (lucky!) patient back.

I was appreciating NHS free wifi while philosophizing on the history of medicine & thinking about gender roles - differences _and_ similarities that exist today. Not just in medicine.

I like this video.


(Most importantly, they got rid of my migraine after 2 weeks of hell. :)

If a doctor told me " the little things I did matters" I'd be pissed. I've saved their asses from losing patients. This hits so misogynisticly.
