The realities of life as an Emergency Department doctor - butt accidents and eels. 😲

August 05, 202400:57
00:00:00
nothing accidentally slips up somebody's
00:00:01
butt at 3:00 in the morning there's no
00:00:02
such thing as a butt accident and that's
00:00:04
probably the main takeaway message the
00:00:06
funny thing for me is that by the time
00:00:08
someone's like okay I have tried
00:00:10
everything I can't get this out myself I
00:00:12
need to get medical attention they've
00:00:13
been trying for hours that's true and
00:00:15
the key is just be honest like emergency
00:00:17
doctors and nurses we have seen
00:00:19
everything before literally everything
00:00:21
you know Were You There When the dude
00:00:23
came in with the eel I wasn't on that
00:00:24
shift and I wasn't involved in it which
00:00:26
is lucky cuz there's so much
00:00:27
ramifications from that and I think we
00:00:29
lost a very good doctor who was head of
00:00:31
the department at the time who literally
00:00:33
fell on his sword a little bit and went
00:00:34
back to the UK I think he was always
00:00:36
considering it but I think that was the
00:00:37
final straw cuz I think he was a bit of
00:00:39
an scapegoat cuz photos or whatever of
00:00:42
the x-rays or whatever were released
00:00:43
into the media it probably wasn't the
00:00:45
medical staff from what I understand
00:00:46
obviously that was the one that made the
00:00:47
paper so when something like that
00:00:49
happens does everyone in the staff room
00:00:51
talk well that's the thing is like
00:00:52
patient confidentiality the official
00:00:54
answer is no no one talks about this
