 Welcome back to the channel everybody. I have been so busy this morning that I didn't even do an intro to the actual video today. I just woke up had a rush over here and I did a six-hour tips procedure first thing in the morning and now it is two o'clock and I'm just eating breakfast for the first time because I'm starving. Hope you guys enjoy another week in my life that's about to start right now. I have four call weeks left this is the first of those four call weeks left and we'll see what this week holds for us and of course I'll bring you along for the ride let's go. Oh my goodness. Guys I don't even know what I was doing today to be honest with you. It is uh 7 30 right now. I did so many long cases and I was like trying to film stuff and I was too tired and too hungry that I just didn't film anything so here it is 7 30 at night going home on day one. Let's hope the rest of the week isn't as bad because I need a little break going forward even though it's only been one day but anyways I'll see you guys tomorrow. To another day in my week on call I don't even know what I'm talking about. Last night I got worked up by a ton of different nurses about a ton of different things because we had two patients admitted overnight and when that happens you have to be essentially the intern overnight feeling all the pages about anything from fluids to changing medications to pain medicine to any of that stuff so you get worked up all night because the weird thing about IR is we don't have the staff to handle that kind of stuff. Just like for instance a normal surgery residency will have a full staff full of interns, residents, attendings, fellows. Someone is always in the house overnight but that's not the case with IR because we take home call and we don't have a group of interns and all that stuff so when you do complex cases and have to admit patients the fellow is the one who actually has to do all of the stuff an intern would normally do and that results in a lot of sleep loss but nonetheless that's what I signed up for and that's what I do. Today we have another busy day and we are about to start day two we're a little sleep deprived but we're gonna get through it we're gonna do it. Well I made it and I am officially dead tired and I think I say that like pretty much every day but today I'm definitely falling apart I need to get some sleep but now it's time to get it over okay so a change of plans apparently there is just traffic jam central that you guys can't see but in cancer and left I needed a street so I'm gonna walk up a few blocks so now I have a chance to talk which means I'll tell you about my day which was busy as all get out had cases on cases on cases it was pretty crazy sorry I literally just lost train of thought because I saw a guy grab onto a taxi a cyclist all right so anyways threw on the light here so today was crazy did a billion cases I don't even know what I did it was just non-stop all day long and like I said before I got minimal sleep last night from all the calls and pages but now as always my favorite mother-in-law is bringing me home dinner because it is about 7 p.m so dropping some dinner off at our door so I have a nice home-cooked meal to eat tonight and then we're back in again with another day and tomorrow is even longer but at least I did a little work for you tomorrow night and I'll tell you what that is in just a minute and by just a minute I mean I'll tell you tomorrow okay so I know I've been a little kind of rambly and a little absentee and a little of just kind of all over the place in this vlog and the reason is because it's just been crazy the past few days usually I can find some time like either in between cases or while I'm waiting on something this has just been an absolute crazy week so far and it is now Wednesday we have a full day I don't anticipate I'll be leaving here until like 9 p.m and it is currently 7 a.m so we have a long road ahead of us a lot of complicated cases today a lot of bread and butter cases so we'll see the good news is is I get a reprieve like I was talking about today because recently we kind of implemented this thing where one of our co-fellows covers call on Wednesday night for us so that means I just have to get through today and I can actually turn my phone on silent tonight sleep all the way through the night wake up rested tomorrow if you like a new man and also I get tomorrow day off so basically you get a 24 hour break this week which is covered by your co-fellow and then I start being on call tomorrow night but anyways let's get through this day first and it is Thursday I almost said Wednesday for a second but it is noon and I am out and about in the city which of course they're talking and it's weird for me to be out this time because usually I'm at work but since again we changed that whole scenario where I get today off well I get the morning off I can kind of drop in about and enjoy the day and today happens to be 64 degrees and when I think of 64 degrees after being cooped up all winter long in the cold I think of one a vest two iced coffee and three a nice stroll around the city probably take my iced coffee to the water around the east side just relax and maybe think about what I'm going to do in my next video step one with the vest complete step two with the iced coffee now let's go to the water all right so now part three is officially complete got my iced coffee now we're gonna sit here relax enjoy the view and think about things until my call starts at like five or six PM give or take so that's what I'll be doing the rest of the day in top of the morning to everybody it is currently Friday which is why I'm in such a good mood last night I took the pager probably about 6 30 p.m. and only have paged twice one of them was unfortunately at 12 30 a.m. and it was completely not urgent so you know that made me very happy but yeah so today is a new day have a couple of procedures today that's pretty much about it I'm in a fantastic mood right now because I just booked a trip flight plus hotel to Miami for my next vacation in May which I'm super pumped for I'm in the beach and forever and I just need you know relaxation now things are opening up I mean heck Florida's been open for like a year now finally have a chance to go down there going to relax on the beach for my week rather than just sitting here in my apartment doing another staycation I'm pretty pumped excited and now I have something to look forward to which will make my gem time more consistent as well which is just something I need I'm used to having these trips kind of lined up so I can keep on the right path and like stay healthy stay fit but things kind of fell off over COVID so now I'm playing catch up and I need this trip to kind of motivate me a little bit so that's exciting but now it is time to start this Friday and whoa what is going on with my good old fashioned hair there so we just finished uh Friday afternoon now nothing else to do tonight again has per usual on Paul through the weekend all the way until a Monday morning so we'll see what comes in I think I have to do maybe like a percutaneous nephrostomy tube tomorrow so I'll probably have to come in on Saturday at some point or Sunday head home now Andrana is of course going out with her friends tonight and leaving me all alone but that's just what it's like on call there's no reason for her to suffer just because I'm suffering so I'll check in with you all tomorrow happy Saturday morning we are back at the hospital so as you can see there's nobody in the hospital as per usual on the weekends but we have to do an embolization of a bladder tumor today that has been bleeding it's not really emergent it's more of like a favor per se it's not bleeding enough to cause the patient to be really sick but we still need to do it eventually so it's kind of like urgent ish we're just gonna go ahead and get it out of the way this morning so that if we get caught out to do other emergent procedures we can get to him I'm gonna go consent the patient get the rooms ready with the tech had to call the nurse and the tech in it will get to work all right just finished that uh patient and it went really well I just put the wrong combination in my locker which is also fantastic because I'm not paying attention it is 2 30 p.m. and did I just put the wrong combination again it's 2 30 p.m. nailed it got to head home now I had some questionable emergencies on deck those ended up having negative imaging so I'm gonna go home now and Drana also worked today by the way and she's off and about to be home too so this worked out perfectly this place may look familiar because it is now Sunday we are back in the hospital for another day of work I have to do another procedure right now welcome back to the ir suite so we are back in the ir suite for another procedure this is a neftube today it was a beautiful day out today we went for a nice walk around the park same park I went to on Thursday it was absolutely gorgeous had some coffee relaxed now I had to come in have to do this procedure and I'll go home afterwards the only downside is that my wife and her whole family is doing brunch right now so that's kind of unfortunate that I can't go into that but nonetheless we are going to do this procedure and hopefully this will be it for the day and hopefully this will be it for the long weekend all right so I just got back from that procedure it is now like five or something p.m. we just had daylight saving time last night so it's going to be sunny a little bit longer which is what I really like but anyways I don't know what's going to happen tonight I hope I don't get called in but I'm going to go ahead and in
