    I like how he just answered the question in the first 5 seconds.

    We do 24 hour in-house calls in cardiology fellowship. During these calls, you’re the point person in cardiology for the entire hospital. On busy call days, you work every minute of those 24 hours. To give a reference point, during a busy call, my Apple Watch will record ~26,000 steps (~15 miles), and standing for 18 hours. Before I went into medicine, such things would seem unfathomable to me. But when you’re put in that spot, you just do it. Bottom line, don’t let videos like this discourage you. Human beings do amazing things, which may seem unimaginable before its done.

    Hardest transition for me was going from intern PGY1 to Ortho PGY2. Still vividly remember taking solo overnight call….the sweat rolling off my face as I was doing a fracture reduction in the trauma bay at 3am knowing I had 5 others consults to see before rounds at 515.
  • @DoctorNosa
    Final year of medical school to first year as an intern is the biggest most challenging year, I agree it’s extremely hard but you get through it! 🙏
