 and good morning welcome back to the channel welcome back to the vlog it's another beautiful day here in New York City I'm currently in Union Square because today I'm working at a hospital in the East Village which many of you probably know it's affiliated with my main hospital and every now and then we come down here to do rotations so I don't really know what I'm doing today I've actually never stepped foot in this hospital well I think that back I think I did a rotation here while I was in med school I think I think I did a pathology of rotation here but I'm not mistaken I feel like that was so long ago though anyways I'm out of breath for no reason and going to see what this hospital is all about and I'll let you know as soon as I know what's going on or I'll probably just talk to you guys after today is over and again I think it's just CT daily cases today I'm not entirely sure but let's see what happens and hopefully I don't get completely lost in this giant hospital I'm texting with one of my attendings from North Carolina about possible job opportunities and it's kind of crazy because I have to start like looking for jobs soon which I mean I feel like this time would never come honestly but I guess it is which is crazy so yeah I guess I have to start looking for jobs which is crazy I just I can't believe the six years kind of flew by and it's kind of even more scary now that I have to start looking for jobs so I'll probably do a whole video devoted to what I plan on doing after fellowship which is in 10 months ish usually people have jobs lined up by now I don't because I still have no idea where I want to end up and share slash in 10 months so I'll do another video like I said devoted to this entire topic but I just want to share that because I don't know what to do all right so it just finished another actually it wasn't that long of a day honestly did some kind of low end procedures today like you know your typical CT guided biopsies three of them to be exact a CT guided abscess strain and oh embarrassing thesis so super small cases but nonetheless we did them it took forever to get the rooms turned over but it is what it is and now I'm meeting Andrea and Union Square because she happened to be working down here today as well and and we got off in the exact same time so I'm gonna meet her and maybe grab a bite to eat or what not I don't really know where this vlog is going I'm kind of just vlogging for the heck of it because why not my schedule changes every week so I figured I might as well just like take you all along for the ride and someone on my last video commented saying I'm the doctor version of Casey Neistat which is probably the best compliment anybody's ever given me so thank you it was one of those times where I was just like in a bad mood you know and had a long day at work the cases were long we only do like a few cases but it took like literally the whole day and I was just frustrated with like turnaround time and all this stuff so I figured I would spare you all from my negativity on my terrible day but went home and all was good now it's a fresh day today we have a few good cases today also how sad is this it's the whole comedy this hand this whole comedy but you can't even go into it now because of it so anyways we'll see how the day goes and good morning I hope you guys got a picture of how absolutely not crowded the subway was that is insane to me so back in 2010 I say to subway every single day from down here all the way up to Upper East side for work and when I say you had to like wait for multiple trains because they were just so packed like sardines in there and now it's 7 a.m. right now no one is on the train there's like five people commuting which I don't know it's kind of mind-blowing I've never seen a morning commute on the subway that pleasant if that makes any sense at all so I don't know this is this is crazy so what we're like the end of August now and there's still no traffic on the subways I don't know I don't take the subway every day but I am this week and I'm just a little surprised by it salees I don't know what's happening around New York City right now what is up just finished my last day what am I even talking about I just finished my last shift in the hospital for this week now I'm going home somehow my colleagues Jenna and Matt let me go early so well not really that early but it's like 4 30 on a Friday and now I had the whole weekend off we have a ton of different plans it's like one of our friends birthdays one of our friends 30th birthdays it is my mother-in-law's birthday and yeah pretty packed weekend it's gonna be a beautiful weekend and that's pretty much it for me oh I did a type of plastic for the first time today but a long time if you don't know what a type of plastic it is this which is basically when someone has a fracture of their spine or a compression fracture and the normal vertebral body collapses we go in basically drill two areas within that vertebral body blow up a balloon within the body expand it so it's back to almost normal height then we fill it with some really bad smelling cement so therefore you kind of restore height to the vertebral body and the patient is most importantly no longer in pain so there's probably only like the third type of plastic I've ever done in my life but that was actually really cool the rep was super fun because it was like perfect so yeah that's about it have a good day it's Friday and John is off soon probably meter in a minute go grab a bite to eat maybe a cocktail and relax because because next week I'm on call for seven straight days again and since you like my previous video so much I might go ahead and film this video as well we'll see I'm actually covering a different hospital for these seven days and I've never been there in my life before well that's not true I've been there once but it's gonna be completely different so it should be a fun seven days we got our balloons and now we're trying now we're trying to make sure they don't fly away into the street also that store was the most aggressive store for party stuff I've ever seen I had no idea that people took blowing up balloons so seriously yeah I mean I became a doctor I should have been blowing up balloons all this time because they charge $14 for helium family and someone who works in the bloom bus please tell me a helium is not $14 per balloon of course it has to be like way cheaper than that the upcharge is probably crazy learn something new every day
