don't wear scrubs if you're off. its psychologically damaging

You are a good example of work-life equilibrium

Thanks Dr Eddy.  Your videos are really helpful

Thats great

Oh wow .. great schedule

Thanks for the really informative video! Three question areas where I would really appreciate your insight:

During the 14 hour night shifts, are you able to sleep and be on-call within the hospital... or are you up and working all night? In either case, how is recovering from those night shifts? Are older physicians okay making the transition between night and day, or do most leave the profession / move away from such a schedule at a relatively young age (if so, what are the options for someone who wants to keep practicing without doing a 7 day stretch of nights every month)?

Do you ever have the opportunity to have stretches of longer than 7 days off? ie if you want to do a 10 day+ international vacation, is that feasible?

Is it possible to scale back ie to do 7 days on and then 14 off?

I was quite confused for a bit when I heard who made the question 😂

Thanks for the information. Always tune into videos as soon as I can. Awesome to hear it’s a great balance work/outside life. Makes me even more interested in the critical care speciality. Keep up the good work, look forward to seeing more videos.

Hi Eddy, thank you for your videos and replying to all the questions and comments. I also find your videos very realistic, you are not trying to play a hero who saved the world.
I am a first year critical care fellow, will be graduating in 2020 but I am already looking for jobs, preferably in Florida.
My question is: when signing for a job what is the reasonable number of patients for intensivist to cover by himself and what about when you have mid level provider in a team?

Obviously based on your comfort level - what is the difference in salary between CCM and PCCM (coming from an IM PGY-3)

What are your thoughts on Nurse practitioner in regards to their workload, education, work life balance and salary. I live in California and plan to go for NP school. Not sure what specialty yet.

Thanks for your awesome and insightful videos 😁👌

Hey Eddy, quick question. From my research it looks like to become a CC Physician you need to go into Internal Medicine, then do a fellowship in CC. How long is the initial residency? I assume 4 years but can't find a definitive answer. I'm in the process of applying to med school, at 35yo. And this is the field that I feel may be my best option as I hear old dudes like myself may not get certain residencies because of my age. Any thoughts on the age aspect, and residency length? Thanks

One question, how do you treat intensive care delirium ??

Great video as usual. What journals do you read ? how to you organize the literature you read ? any favorite app or software ? I am also wondering if your schedule looks like a 7 on 7 off ? if so, thats amazing !!

Regarding Intensivist lifestyle, it sounds similar to a Hospitalist with 7 days on, 7 days off. Are you ever able to be flexible with these days? For example, you'd like to take a 2-week vacation abroad or have family matters to attend to? Obviously, I understand that you'd have to make-up those 2 weeks one way or another. Would this be possible as an Intensivist, or does it simply depend on the group you become a part of (private versus academic versus other)?

What's better right after an Internal Med residency? private practice or hospitalist job?

What made you pick CCM fellowship over Pulm/CCM fellowship?

Can you let me know, do cardiothoracic surgeons have free time to pursue their hobbies?

are there any 2year pul/cc fellowships?
