The fact they make a surgeon work this many hours in a row is mind boggling. Makes zero sense. Obviously it’s not your fault. The system is totally messed up. You are amazing!
Whenever I think I have had a long day at work and I am exhausted and feel like I cannot go on, I will think of you. Thank you for taking care of people.
These hours are not necessary. Maybe in the past they had a purpose but now it’s dangerous and can cause deadly mistakes. No one makes good decisions when they’re exhausted.
I dont know whats more impressive your work or how you mange to sustain work life balance Edit: I appreciate the love I’m getting on this comment I say Impressive sparingly, because on one hand the life style she has is slowly killing her and we shouldn’t normalize it and think its healthy or sustainable for even a second and on the other hand masochism and grind culture is the only way you can justify this work load. Surgery will really break you apart just to build you up again lol.
It makes me scared to ever have surgery in this country knowing my doctor could be this overworked and sleep deprived. That’s when mistakes happen. Scary for us patients and awful for you and your poor daughter to not see her momma for such long periods. You are an amazing woman! You couldn’t pay me enough to have this schedule!
This video is a prime example of how busy a doctor is. She filmed this during the winter holidays and it is now being uploaded. More power unto you Dr. Sanchez!
It doesn't make any sense to work a surgeon this hard. If someone is going to cut into my body they better be well rested and relaxed. If not the chance of making a mistake is high. It shouldn't be allowed.
Dr. Sanchez, Thank you for studying for years, sacrificing most of your life, and working so hard to be come a surgeon so that you can help us all when we really need it.
This is terrifying. I can't imagine how sleep deprived you are, which we all know leads to worse health outcomes in every area. Also the insane caffeine consumption cant be good for you. Its terrifying that people could be doing surgery on me sleep deprived. I would want my surgeon getting 8 hours of sleep a night. I can hardly think of another occupation I would want to be fully rested, except maybe a flight traffic controller.
& AGAIN I will say…. how in the world are football players, reality tv cast making MILLIONS?!?!?! yet the amazing selfless kind hardworking dedicated ones who are putting their lives on line &/or saving lives, not even make much $@all??? not even for all they do!!
my son within past year has enlisted in the army & when I tell u what hes already missed out on, all hard work he’s done & when he told me that he makes like $2500 month I wanted to throw up!!
Thank God for giving us heros/angels such as Drs police officers nurses military etc…. Thank you for all u do❤❤❤❤
i can no longer complain about not being able to post on youtube or titkok because you work 72 hours and yet still make time to film in between and edit videos in between while still being a mom. i give you huge props wow much respect to all the doctors and nurses out there.
I don't know how you do it. I could never, ever, ever in a million years do general surgery. My body and brain just couldn't handle it. Major props to you, doctor.
It’s so nice to see a doctor with young children! I have two toddlers and start medical school next year and am so nervous for the logistics, but it’s nice to be reminded that there are people who do it!
