My First 36-Hour Shift as a Doctor🩺💉 | What It’s Really Like 💊

My First 36-Hour Shift as a Doctor | What It’s Really Like My first 36-hour shift as a doctor. 🤍I started the day getting ready, making my bed, spending some quiet time with God, and preparing everything I would need before heading to the hospital.During the day, I was in the pediatric ward making rounds, following patients, checking vital signs, writing progress notes and orders, sending investigations, reviewing results, and accompanying some of our critical patients.Then came lunch (one of my favorite parts of the day 😅), before heading to the pediatric emergency department for the night.That night was BUSY. We had multiple patients, including a patient in shock who needed a blood transfusion. I followed the process from recognizing the situation to going to the blood bank, crossmatching, bringing the blood, and continuing to follow the patient.And then… morning came. 🥲After only a few hours of sleep, I had breakfast, tried to make myself look somewhat human again 😂, and went right back to the ward for another day of rounds, investigations, progress notes, orders, and patient care.By the time I finally went home, I had been at the hospital for 36 hours.But beyond the work itself, this shift taught me something about myself:I didn't know my capacity as well as I thought I did.I'm not saying we don't need sleep or that sleep should be sacrificed. We absolutely need rest and recovery.But I realized that sometimes we underestimate how adaptable we are. We decide what we can and cannot handle before we've ever actually been tested.This was my first 36-hour shift and one of the many experiences teaching me what it means to grow into the woman and doctor I'm becoming. 🌿Thank you for spending these 36 hours with me. 🤍If you enjoyed this video, don't forget to like, comment, and subscribe.
