 what is going on everybody welcome back to chanel welcome back to the vlog is another beautiful beautiful morning here in New York City Manhattan and I'm on my way to work again it is Monday morning about 6 45 a.m. it's a little hot this morning has it's been the last few weeks so I'm a bit sweaty but that's about par for this course so far anyways I am on consults today slash all week and I'm not scheduled for any procedures this entire week so this should be fun I'll be roaming around the hospital and I have no idea where anything is because I haven't even been to like the hospital floors yet I just stayed in the basement so about the easies I can comfort shoes today and I'll let you know how this week pans out so just finished a first day of consults it was quite actually wasn't too bad to be honest with you I thought it's gonna be far worse from what everybody was saying but yeah the pager reams like every five seconds and you have to like constantly stop what you're doing answer page and work up another patient but honestly I guess I'm just used to that coming from North Carolina where consults were pretty bad we'll see how I feel at the end of this week because I had to do it for five days straight whereas North Carolina I would only do consults for maybe like one day week max they now do procedures the rest of the week so it all depends but either way I just saw a whole bunch of cool consoles today actually they weren't all interesting they were just kind of basic and a few solid consults along the way but nonetheless it was pretty good so I guess for those of you who don't know what consults are I remember I used to say consults like everybody knew what consults were and then I realized someone was like they corrected me and they're like it's consult and I was like no it's not in medicine it's consult which is weird why we pronounce it differently than it's supposed to be but only in medicine do we say consults rather than consults we are the consultants that do consults or see patients that they consult us about for procedures so they can pretty much consult us for anything they want anything they need IR services for for instance if someone has plots in their lower extremities and they need us to put an IVC filter in for someone who cannot be on blood thinners that's what we do they consult us for it we go and evaluate the patient examine the patient talks to the patient consent the patient for the procedure and make sure they are okay with it then we talked about the risks and benefits of the procedure and we go through with the same process like I said and then we bring them down to the procedure and that's it so we do that over and over and over again and we get paged about other consults that we don't end up doing because maybe the patient is not well enough for us to do them for a million other different reasons so that is a consult and I have four more days left and I'm gonna go home now get my YouTube video ready for tomorrow eat dinner and do this all over again tomorrow what is going on everybody let me mute this somehow hold on a sec I don't know how to mute it alright so I've turned down the volume a little bit now so it is 7 25 a.m. I'm currently in the fellow room right now I'm currently watching a vascular lecture that we are given we do a co-lecture with our vascular surgery residency every Tuesday and today it's on pactletaxle coated balloons and their efficacy that's what I'm doing right now we have board rounds after that where we go over interesting cases and then I'm going to start my day I already have a full list of consults ready for me to go attack and I keep getting paged which I transferred it to my phone so I keep getting all these text messages about pages so I need to answer those and that's what I'm gonna do right now what's going on everybody and I'm not gonna bore you again with more consults on but I just finished the whole day a ton of different consults I was running around all over the place and yeah what's funny to me is on my last video with the Ferrari everybody kept commenting on all the trash on the street and that's just a New York thing all the buildings are so tightly packed that the trash just gets placed on the street a couple times a week and it gets picked up at some time I don't know but it feels like there's always trash on the street somewhere trash and recycling bags piled up as high as you can see I'll try to find some that are like super piled up but it pretty much smells all the time every day on the street when there's trash out there so that's really exciting it's just kind of you know what you get living in New York City I don't know you just become used to it you're like used to seeing trash all over the street which sounds absolutely asinine as I say it but it's just a New York thing so anyways heading home catch you in the morning this is our lovely fellow room as you see over here we have the nice turn-off heater sign which I assume you would need during the winter but not so much right now because it's 95 degrees out over here we have a stock pile of chairs a bag and a random hospital chair also we have a prison-esque style it looks like a camping cot or something I don't think anybody's ever touched this ever but for some reason if we need to sleep here it's there then if you go into oh wait forget about this we have a nice room separating hospital curtain because this must have been a hospital room at some point nobody ever uses this either we have a whole bunch of cabinetry up top and then the piece de resistance is our two desk and dual monitor system which my co-fellow set up for us which was very nice of him and so we have two setups here two chairs oh there's the heater down there and everybody knows there a telephone if you will and we have a nice large fridge which is like almost as tall as me microwave printer my locker right here and my procedure shoes which you may have seen before and that's pretty much all that goes on in here alright so anyways I just found an ID of one of my I guess residents already oh it is a radiology resident who would have thought I found the idea of a radiology resident on the street outside so I'm gonna give it to them right now and then to start my full day of consults wish me luck so alright so that officially concludes this day and this week of consults I think I'm going to relax a little bit this weekend not do too much because next week is a big week because I'm on call for seven straight days for my first time on call
