 And welcome back to the channel, welcome back to the vlog. We are on another seven days stretch of Paul. Unfortunately, this time is on the west side, which means I'm going to be covering three hospitals, which is the vein of my existence. Because every time I'm on this Paul, covering all three hospitals, I inevitably be caught in for something. I hope you all can hear this because it's so loud. But anyways, we are about to start right now. It is Monday morning. I think I start out today with a little fist show up. Also, it's beautiful out today, and let's get to work. And as per usual, I was so busy that I didn't really film anything today, and by not really anything today, I mean, I didn't film anything. This thing is so loud. We are all good, no idea where I'm going. Found the little secret elevator in the back. And what I didn't mention is we are officially done today. Just did a mix of like bread and butter style cases today. That's a strain, biopsies, another biopsy. Pretty chill. A few consults in. We're all good. And as per usual, it is a beautiful day because it is springtime now. And hold on a second, let me get to this side. This side feels good. So in summary, not a bad day. It's about 4.30 PM right now, headed home. So you can't beat that. It's only Monday, six more days ago. So let's not get too carried away because even tomorrow's going to be a little bit busier. All right, so you probably can't see me, but it is 2.30 in the morning. Just got caught about an emergent bleed that was an emergency, luckily. So I'm going to go back to sleep now. Okay, it is officially Tuesday morning. As you can see, I woke up at about what, 2.30, 3 AM. As I look at a CTA on a potential bleed. But maybe it was actually bleeding. There wasn't evidence of acute hemorrhage. However, the patient has had this bleed for probably about three days now. It is stone cold and stable. So there's no real reason for us to come in overnight to embolize the bleed of the patient's stable. So what I told them was if the patient becomes unstable, we could come in and do an emergent procedure. But the patient has been stable for so many days now that I have a hard time believing that would happen. So we may just proactively embo it today on a non-emergent basis. But we're just gonna monitor it and we may not need an embo at all. So we'll see. It's actually not at the main hospital I'm at today. It's at one of the ones I'm covering. So when that happens, you have to tell the team because they obviously have to deal with it today if they need to. So anyways, headed in today. Have a few big cases. Reno, Anjo, and a prostate embo. So let's do it. We just finished today's procedure log, which is full of a ton of different stuff. But let me get out of here because the radio is playing and you probably can't hear me. So we did a ton of different procedures today. Prostate artery embolization to start the day followed by a renal mass embolization, which was phenomenal. We did both of those cases so quickly. They were so easy, money. Then we did a whole bunch of biopsies, the lung nodule biopsies, liver mass biopsies. And now waiting for the post lung biopsy chest x-rays before I get out of here. And it is now 4.15, probably... Interruption. It's now 4.15 and I will be getting out of here as soon as the post operative chest x-ray is done. And that's pretty much it for today. Just started feeling a little tired as you can see. My contacts are starting to dry up and cause some scratches in my eyes and this is what happens when I get tired and I get a little sleep. But what can you do? All right, we'll see how the rest of the day goes. Yeah, so I'm doing three uterine fabric embolizations today. However, two of them canceled, which is kind of unfortunate because I love that procedure, but nonetheless, I still have one to do. And then I do a couple of add-ons, biopsies here and there and whatnot. The good thing is I didn't get caught in at all last night and I didn't even get caught last night while I got paged at 10, but at least I wasn't asleep yet. Also, might I add, I was taking the bus to work this morning and I was just scrolling through TikTok. If you don't follow me over there, don't follow me over there. I was scrolling through TikTok and I missed the bus stop that I was supposed to be off at and it's the last bus stop on that route. So I had to do like this whole loop and I was like literally 20 blocks away so I had to run to work. So that's cool. All right, let's get to it. So I guess the weather took a little turn for the worse, but nonetheless, I'm leaving now. It's Wednesday afternoon, headed home right now. I just said I'm leaving right now and headed home right now. So that's cool and that's pretty much it. Have some fresh home cooked meal from the mother-in-law as per usual so I don't have to worry about dinner. All right, so this vlog has been pretty boring. I must say so myself. Did a few things today. I will say that I did a uterine fibroid embolization in literally 15 minutes. It was like the easiest quickest procedure ever. I just did an IVC filter and so loud right here. And I also did a biopsy, all of that before noon, which is like record pace we're up here in New York City. But it's a beautiful day right now, as you can see. I mean, look how absolute beautiful it is. The sun is out, no longer raining. Probably gonna go home, sit on my rooftop and read a book or something. And might I add it's about 3.30 p.m. So this week isn't half bad. But it probably just seems to be something. All right, so I just had to come into one of our good friends, whoop, forgot to press the elevator button. By the way, it's 1 a.m. right now. And just had to check in on a PE patient. I'm going to do a procedure on them, but we decided just to wait until the morning. That's the patient's table. So I'm going to go back home because I am exhausted. And like I said, it's 1 a.m. now. And I gotta get this set up for first thing in the morning. But while I wait for my Uber, I mean, look how bad I look, by the way. It's actually pretty warm outside. It's like 65, 70 degrees. And it's not too bad. I almost didn't have to wear a jacket, but I did just because I like to just use my pocket suit. So this hallway looks familiar. It's because I come here every time I'm on call on the west side. It is now 8.30 in the morning. As you remember, I was here last night at 1.30 in the morning. So I got a few hours of sleep and now we're back. We're going to do this procedure last night, but it wasn't emergent. It's just urgent. And we needed full support for my anesthesia this morning. And they weren't available overnight. So now I'm here a couple of hours of sleep. Feel pretty good. I actually showered, which made me feel even better because I wasn't going to shower because it's like 80 degrees in here. When we work in this room at this hospital and I knew I'd just be sweating the whole time. So I just kind of committed to being distressed for the next couple of hours. But then I decided to take a shower. It's super tired and I feel like a million bucks. So let's get to work. It's lovely Saturday morning. Also, do you see how nice it was out there? Beautiful outside. All right. So remember when I got here at about 8.30 AM? Well, now it's 1.45 PM. That was a very long case, but very successful. And I'm pretty tired right now. All right, so I took a little detour. I was going to go straight home, but then I realized that I haven't eaten pretty much anything today. So going to grab a salad at the local deli over here, take it back to my place and eat it, relax on the couch, and hopefully not get called in the rest of the weekend. And I know that's a bit ambitious. All right, so I just got home, had my salad. And as you can see, I'm on the couch, ready to pass out. Probably take a quick little nap and hopefully relax for the rest of the day because I am starting to feel the tiredness right now. I was like pretty good when I had some coffee this morning, chugged another cup of coffee. I was good for the procedure, but now after I eat that big meal, I'm pretty tired. So, oh, also, shout out to Pikmonik, not sponsored by the way, but love Pikmonik. And yeah, it's time to hit the old hay for me. Yeah. In this official, I did not get called in. The rest of the weekend is now Monday morning. First thing in the morning, and I can officially say, I no longer have to take West Hall ever again in my entire life, which means I no longer have to go to those hospitals that I was on all week. So we're making progress here. And now I only have two more weeks of call left. So we are really making some progress here. I'm super pumped. Don't even care anymore because there's such limited call left for me. So I have clinic today right now. It doesn't start until about 1.30. I'm gonna go work out and hope you all enjoy the rest of the weekend. Hope you all enjoyed this video. I'll see you on the next one.
