Short filmTranscript
00:00I've had to come to terms with the fact that I'm completely throwing myself in
00:13the deep end. There's no better place to work than in the trenches at Middlemore
00:18Hospital. What have we got coming in? It's a beautiful place to be but also
00:24like quite a terrifying place to be. There's life and death every day.
00:28It's too soon to be answering that question okay. You're getting a
00:31contraction? Go for it. Go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go. Five, four, five. Stop, stop, stop, stop. It feels a bit daunting. It feels quite scary actually. Are we happy on dosage? Time is of the essence and it matters so you have to come up with something now. You have to think on your feet. Just breathe, just breathe, just breathe.
00:54That's really scary to me and so it should be because it's a massive amount of responsibility.
01:01There's no room for any mistakes.
01:04I need the CPR to be faster please. Stand up, stand up.
01:10You are having a stroke right now. We need it to resuscitate you. Oh my god.
01:15You do become obsessed with getting it right all the time.
01:17That's what I feel like burnout feels like.
01:33What enables you to keep doing such an unusual job is not always the passion and medicine. It's actually the people behind you.
01:39Who, go, go, go, go all the way, all the way, all the way.
01:46I can be a medicine, I can be a medicine
01:51I can be a medicine, I can be a medicine
01:56I can be a medicine, I can be a medicine
02:03It's my first day as a junior doctor.
02:08It is really the start of trying to shift my mind from being a student to now having more responsibility.
02:14I guess my big hope is just to really find my place, feeling like you belong.
02:22As a student you often feel a bit useless, so I just hope that I kind of feel a bit more comfortable being a doctor.
02:32I prefer to look more approachable than professional.
02:37You put a stethoscope with any of these outfits and people usually know you're a doctor.
02:42Yeah, this is cool.
02:43But I'm more concerned that people will like, like me as a person.
02:49Yeah, I want to look like myself.
02:52But, yeah.
02:54How would I describe myself?
02:59Probably, attention seeking maybe.
03:04I think maybe being an only child.
03:06A bit cheeky.
03:07I just graduated from med school.
03:11Saline.
03:13And then pre-op marker pens.
03:15So, yeah.
03:19This is my first proper job.
03:21Yeah, I'm excited.
03:23Yeah, being a doctor.
03:25I like the sound of it though.
03:27Doctor.
03:28Or doc.
03:29I like doc actually.
03:31It is like the biggest moment in my life.
03:35It's happening.
03:36It's happening now.
03:37Right this minute.
03:38If one moment's what it's all about.
03:40Then you're hiding.
03:41It's just fantastic to see you all here.
04:02Medicine's a great, great privilege.
04:05To care for someone when they're at their most vulnerable is very precious.
04:10But you will have periods of feeling, wow, this is busy and all the rest.
04:15Along with quite a number of my colleagues, I had quite a significant period of workplace stress and anxiety 20 years ago now.
04:23Didn't stop me at all.
04:24Because I talked about it and I listened to the people I talked to.
04:30So if it's getting on top of you, sing out.
04:38It can be a baptism of fire and being a junior doctor.
04:45Health's not for the faint hearted.
04:47Survive here, you'll survive anywhere.
04:50This year we welcomed over 60 new doctors here.
04:55They're the pipeline.
04:56They're the consultants of the future.
04:59We need them immediately for the care of our community.
05:04But I don't think we can ever eliminate the stress of one day having the legal responsibility of being a doctor versus the day before I was a student.
05:13On the job experience can be challenging.
05:17So the more we can prepare them, the better.
05:20This is a good opportunity to put some structured approach to assessing the deteriorating patient into practice in a semi-realistic environment.
05:29Let me introduce you to Naomi.
05:33She is 80 years old.
05:35Her daughter has told you that her mother seems very sleepy and not really responsive and she's very, very concerned.
05:39So you've come down to assessor.
05:43Any questions?
05:45What's your name again, sorry?
05:46Naomi.
05:47Naomi.
05:49It's a bit nerve-wracking when you're a team leader, especially like having to make the decisions,
05:53which is I think something that I'm scared to do as a doctor.
05:57Naomi?
05:59My name is...
06:01My name is Shadi.
06:02I'm one of the house officers, one of the doctors looking after you.
06:07Naomi?
06:09Even though it's a dummy, my skills and knowledge are being judged.
06:14Is there anything you want me to do?
06:15Oops, yes.
06:17Could you do some BSLs just to check?
06:19Sure.
06:21Ivy Line's in, we're just doing the, just doing the, I think, yeah.
06:26Yeah.
06:29We've done some blood glucose, which came back something.
06:32What was the...
06:34Are we happy on dosage?
06:35Um...
06:38Yeah, it's just four milligrams IV.
06:41Four milligrams IV, okay.
06:43Four milligrams or micrograms?
06:45Oh, sorry, micrograms, micrograms.
06:47There's a C.
06:48It's a bit scary, because in one week I'll be on the ward with real life patients.
06:59When you're living your dream, there's an adrenaline high.
07:17And I think ED, for me, is a bit of a high.
07:21I like to be there with the things that really count, which is life and death.
07:26There's no better place than in the front line of an emergency department.
07:33It's this juxtaposition of two worlds where you can make all the difference, but sometimes you can't.
07:42Day one, back at Miramore, pretty big day.
07:45Looks like the department's pretty slammed today.
07:49That's the busiest we've ever been.
07:51So there's 242 patients in the emergency department,
07:55which is a record so far.
07:58Yeah.
07:59It's a bit of a crisis at the moment,
08:00so we're looking at all of the escalation capacities open.
08:04So, welcome.
08:05Must have done we're coming back.
08:09Just started the Junior Registrar training program,
08:11which means I'm married to emergency medicine for the rest of my life.
08:15Hello, I'm Stephen, one of the emergency doctors.
08:18The main question is how are you feeling after your car crash?
08:20The Registrar step up is something that a lot of people find quite ominous and foreboding.
08:28It's a lot more responsibility.
08:31It's important that you've mentioned the fast heart rate,
08:33because that's quite a main concern in an emergency department.
08:36And you're expected to manage things a little bit more independently.
08:38I want to see what those tests are showing,
08:41and then if anything's really jumping out as of normal,
08:43then we'll action that.
08:45You've done well.
08:46You've shown up on one of Middlemore's busiest days in history.
08:50In history?
08:51In history, yeah, yeah.
08:52Record breaker, eh?
08:53Man, that normal waiting room hits different, eh?
09:00Oh, it's pretty chocker.
09:01And it's embarrassing when you can't even find a room.
09:03I've got the heebie-jeebies just, like, standing out there.
09:06So, good to see you.
09:07Good to see you.
09:08Oh, my God, our favourites are back.
09:10I know, yeah.
09:11The Dream Team has returned.
09:12Welcome back, guys.
09:13Good to be here.
09:14First year of medical school, Jordan caught my attention.
09:21And then I was like, oh, do you want to come hang out, bro?
09:24So, yeah, he's been hard to shake off since.
09:29Oh, let me show you this abscess thing.
09:31Show me what's happening.
09:33Oh, there it is.
09:34The skin's all the way.
09:35First patient.
09:36There it is.
09:37I think it's cool working in the emergency department together.
09:40A proper emergency.
09:42Yeah.
09:43Going through the same thing, we just grew together.
09:48And sometimes it is just having that shoulder to cry on.
09:51He's got pretty big shoulders.
09:53It was useful.
09:54But sometimes you need that buddy to go through that experience with.
09:59Because you can never feel ever 100% comfortable with our job.
10:04You never know what's next through the doors.
10:07A little more ED receiving.
10:09A little more on Tomahki one.
10:11How do you read?
10:12Loud and clear, go ahead.
10:13Loud and clear, go ahead.
10:14This is the rear passenger of a vehicle.
10:17Rolled over at high speed.
10:19He was transported for about 20 minutes.
10:22We've just been notified that we've got critically ill patients after a pretty gruesome motor vehicle accident.
10:29One of the challenging things of ED is that we see patients immediately after they've been brought in by an ambulance.
10:46There's always a bit of unknown.
10:47There's a passenger in the rear of a vehicle that's gone through a high speed roll over.
10:52He's complaining of pain in the left side of his chest.
10:56Can you open your eyes for me?
10:57Yeah.
10:58He's got a radial pulse.
10:59It's not tacky.
11:00When you have a significant accident like that, you do worry about what's going to kill him the fastest.
11:08It's alright, you're in hospital.
11:13You're in a safe space.
11:15After a big crash, it's bleeding and brain injury are the two big killers.
11:20Our way's okay, but we have dropped UCF a bit since we've given the ketamine.
11:25Yeah, good.
11:26Are you seeing that?
11:27Tell me that again, Stephen, sir.
11:28I'm just seeing a bit of a...
11:30Yeah.
11:31Can you check the left side, please?
11:32Left side?
11:33Yeah.
11:34Open your eyes for me.
11:37Open your eyes.
11:38I can just get the scan.
11:40Get the scan.
11:41Just going to do a little turn, pop that hard board behind your back.
11:46One, two, three.
11:47A little drop.
11:48Well done.
11:49He's got pretty significant injuries, unfortunately.
11:59Our main concern is he's actually got a small bleed around the brain.
12:03And then he's also got lacerations to his spleen and liver.
12:08So he's got multi-organ injuries.
12:14But he's in a stable condition.
12:16He's someone we're keeping a very close eye on.
12:18He might end up having surgery tonight, and he might end up in intensive care afterwards.
12:23It does play on your feelings a bit when you see someone young like that.
12:26Or you're worried about, like, oh, if this was my brother, or if this was my friend.
12:33Right, I'm hungry.
12:35Okay, dinner time.
12:37I think Jordan maybe has had a bit more of a chill path in life.
12:40Because of that, he can just relax a bit more, and that helps me relax.
12:45Where would you be without me, Jordan?
12:48Friends follow me.
12:51There's some time to show my life.
12:57And in a few days, he's going to be my best man when I marry Medisa.
13:01So how's the suit chopping going?
13:03Oh, I don't even start, to be honest.
13:07We've had a bit of a rough patch with organising the suits.
13:09I think the main issue is that you just always want to fit yourself into a medium when really you're probably better suited to a large.
13:15Oh, thanks, man.
13:16Are you saying I'm bigger than me?
13:17No, no, I'm not saying that.
13:18Marriage is a beautiful thing for me to consolidate things with Medisa, because she's been just as much part of that journey from day one as Jordan.
13:25They're both a really important part of my life.
13:29They're my squad.
13:30You know, we're a bit of a team.
13:33But marriage could be a tension of two forces in my life.
13:38It looks like just a momentum, but I think we're safe to stretch.
13:48Big stretch coming up.
13:51And bundle, please.
13:53Hi.
13:54Oh, you're doing a surprise visit the other way around, huh, buddy?
13:59Childbirth's amazing.
14:01Hi.
14:02Hello, beautiful.
14:03What were you doing in there?
14:05You were supposed to be head down.
14:08I still take the biggest deep breath and, like, sigh of relief when I see that head coming out.
14:15That moment where you lift the baby and show them to the parents.
14:18It's my favourite part.
14:19Hi.
14:20Hello.
14:21Hi.
14:22Hi.
14:23Look at your ears.
14:25It's almost like Lion King.
14:27Yeah, it's special every time.
14:30Oh, yeah.
14:33Cool.
14:34First stitch, please.
14:35A lot of people said to me, if you want to master your obstetrics, then you need to go to
14:40Middlemore because you'll do stuff there that you will never do anywhere else.
14:48It's the busiest unit in Australasia.
14:51We have 7,500 births a year, which is the most in the country.
14:55We have 20 birthing rooms that are often always full.
14:59We've got an assessment room with probably another 20 rooms that often it overflows into.
15:04We do, like, ten inductions of labour a day, sometimes more.
15:07We often have five, six, seven, eight women waiting to be seen on our assessment side.
15:11We have six women in the birthing room.
15:13Room four is born.
15:14Room five is born.
15:15Yeah.
15:16Two have already had their babies.
15:18What bell is that?
15:20It's just madness.
15:22I've never seen anything like it.
15:24I think I usually do black with normal milk.
15:29I don't trust the milk.
15:30When was it changed?
15:31No.
15:32That's true.
15:33When was it changed?
15:34So you've been here five years?
15:36Yeah.
15:37Oh, maybe longer.
15:39Where were you before?
15:41Ireland.
15:42Home.
15:43I went back for a short stint for about six months and then I came back.
15:47What brought you here?
15:48I came for a holiday.
15:50And then it extended.
15:52When I was in my first year of being a doctor, me and my friends decided we were going to go
16:00to New Zealand just for a year.
16:02We went out for dinner and some random guy asked me on a date.
16:08Turns out it was Brad.
16:10And I've been here since.
16:12He was playing rugby for the Chiefs and All Blacks.
16:17But now he lives in France.
16:19It's like a long distance relationship.
16:23So for this next rung, it'll be mainly head down.
16:27Yeah.
16:28Work, work, work.
16:30So the organisation is really pressured today.
16:33Has been actually since Monday.
16:34SAPS is at 114% occupancy.
16:37Medicine's at 102%.
16:39So our priority is still discharges please if you can.
16:42We've got no beds on gynae at the moment.
16:43So just, yeah, more of the same.
16:45Thanks everybody.
16:47Thank you everyone.
16:48I've been a junior doctor for seven years.
16:50And now I'm stepping up to be the senior registrar.
16:54But it's another five years at least until I can be eligible to be a consultant.
17:00Tell me your diagnosis.
17:02Are you going to test me?
17:04OK, what sort of scan is that?
17:06So it's an ovary?
17:08Yeah.
17:09With a cyst?
17:10Yeah.
17:11What sort of cyst is it?
17:13Hemorrhagic.
17:14Yeah.
17:15You do have to take that step and I am being pushed to do it this year.
17:18And I think it is good for me.
17:20But yeah, it's just so scary to just even say senior reg.
17:24I just don't feel that way.
17:26Yeah.
17:27I definitely still feel like a baby.
17:29Did I pass?
17:30You passed.
17:31Shall we go and see her?
17:33Shanna has been performing so well.
17:35She's been promoted very quickly to becoming senior registrars.
17:39So the aim today is to get you to theatre around one o'clock.
17:42Yeah.
17:43So no food, sorry.
17:44It's a massive step up and a level of expectation for her and she's taking that on herself.
17:49I definitely have a fear of disappointing people or people thinking I'm better than I am.
17:54But I certainly feel there's no room for any mistakes.
18:01So at the moment you're one of the star registrars.
18:04You're coping, you're not showing any vulnerability, you're looking after your patients, you're filling in slots.
18:09But what we've got to do is make sure that that is sustainable and so therefore we need balance.
18:14Yeah.
18:15Yeah.
18:16Thanks Doug.
18:17The challenge for Shannon is we're in a constant state of vigilance, alert and reactive behaviour in the hospital.
18:26And working harder doesn't fix things.
18:28You've got to look after yourself a bit as well.
18:31You've got to actually make sure that you don't blow up.
18:33That lady was in the waiting room but I've just put her in room five for you.
18:50It's Friday.
18:51It's Friday.
18:52So people are starting to kind of wind down.
18:55It might be a bit silly.
18:57The emergency department is a train full of people.
19:01And it is that snapshot in time of those people's lives.
19:06John.
19:07And it's trying to find the people who have the most time critical problem.
19:14And I think that's part of one of my favourite enjoyable challenges is trying to find the emergency that's lurking amongst that train of people.
19:24So Ian, the dizziness, when you're in the bed you said it gets better but it's still there.
19:29Yeah, yeah.
19:30Your bloods are so far normal and your repeat heart test stayed the same.
19:34So it's reassuring that you haven't had any kind of heart problem.
19:37But I've kind of got to continue my detective work.
19:40Close your eyes and say yes when you're feeling touching.
19:44Yeah.
19:45Yes.
19:46Yes.
19:47Can you shrug your shoulders for me?
19:49Stop me pushing down.
19:50So keep them shrugged.
19:51That's good.
19:53Are you able to try and out of walking?
19:55Yeah.
19:56It's just because that's really my main concern.
19:58Okay.
20:05Are you feeling dizzy again?
20:07Or are you getting that?
20:08Yeah, I'm getting that.
20:09Do you want to come towards me?
20:11A lot of the unwellness, it's not actually obvious to the naked eye and it can still be a deadly problem.
20:17All right.
20:18And then let's go back to your bed.
20:20You've still got it?
20:21Yeah.
20:24So does Ian normally walk like that?
20:26No.
20:27Like it's well off as...
20:28Yeah, it's well off.
20:29Just relax back down on that bed there.
20:31All right.
20:36I'm a bit anxious that you've had a stroke.
20:41Is that okay?
20:43If you're in the right place for us to look at these things.
20:49I think every doctor has a collection of things that they're very panicky and overly thorough about.
20:54I think I have a baseline level of anxiety that's way higher for anything that's a stroke.
21:08As a 17 year old, I was in a gym one day, was lifting some weights and lost half my vision.
21:15So I was rushed to the emergency department.
21:20An emergency doctor was telling me that I'd had a spontaneous brain bleed and I'd had a stroke.
21:27And it was 30% risk of death within the next 48 to 72 hours.
21:32The realization, like the panic hit me.
21:37But those doctors, they saved my life.
21:40To me, they were, yeah, pretty much heroes.
21:44And that was a life changing moment.
21:46The exposure that I had as a patient, that's the exact moment when I knew that I was going to do this.
21:58Looking back on it, you become almost grateful for the experience.
22:03As soon as someone has a stroke, I'm really careful with every moment.
22:09I'm almost thinking, what are the mistakes that could be made?
22:13Like, I'm always thinking worst case scenario.
22:16It's made me realize that this is real, you know?
22:20This is not a game.
22:22And I do kind of have an anxiety brewing there.
22:25I feel like that's so easily missed.
22:28It's good having a buddy who understands some of the experiences I've gone through.
22:32It's strange with strokes, you can have like tiny strokes.
22:34You can't even see on CT and they cause huge disability.
22:38But the more patients like that you see, the more experienced you are.
22:42You're armed with more knowledge to rectify that stress or like kind of bridge that gap where you're like,
22:47I've thought about, I know I've thought about all of the things that are important here.
22:51I feel way more confident than I did two years ago.
22:55Imagine the multiplication of that in two or three more years' time.
22:59All right, my patients need me.
23:05What kind of tea do you want?
23:08Just like the black.
23:10You want a big mug for a big day?
23:13You ready to answer all their questions?
23:19No.
23:21I'm just worried about like, that I don't actually have enough medical knowledge to deal with some stuff.
23:26Of course there's like a few things that have always been new.
23:30But I feel like once you learn something on the ward, you won't forget it.
23:35Yeah.
23:38Okay, I'm gonna go.
23:39You're gonna go?
23:40All right.
23:42Good luck.
23:43You will do amazingly.
23:45Thanks.
23:46I'll see you after.
23:47Thanks for the pip talk.
23:48You got it, you got it.
23:49I'll be, I'll be waiting.
23:50My current run is general surgery.
24:00A run is like a rotation and there's four runs in a year.
24:05So in terms of the team, I normally do a sort of introduction and things.
24:11But today you guys have been thrown in the deep end with a whole bunch of patients.
24:15I think, you know, our patients are one of the sickest in the hospital, unfortunately.
24:20So there's a large number for you guys to deal with on the first day.
24:24The run is quite a busy run.
24:25So I think the main issue is time management.
24:29Please know that even if it's a very small question, just ask.
24:32Okay.
24:35On the ward round, everything needs to be documented.
24:37And so that's my job.
24:40Good morning, David.
24:41How was your weekend?
24:42Oh, sorry.
24:44Sorry.
24:45Very sorry.
24:46Yeah.
24:47They said like, I had a shit night last night.
24:49I'll write, had a shit night last night.
24:51The pain right across here is like, and pulsating.
24:56Continue antibiotics for now and chase microbiology.
25:00A lot of the patients are super sick.
25:03Often they need limb amputation.
25:06Our plan for today will be operating theatre.
25:09Have you got any questions from the discussions we had about what the operation involves?
25:13Yeah.
25:14I want to know how long it takes.
25:16And then I want to talk about what will happen with my legs.
25:20The operation itself will take about 90 minutes or so.
25:24To answer your question on your leg itself, we always ask patients if they would like their tissue back.
25:29For any personal or cultural reasons.
25:33It's very confronting.
25:35I think I often think about like, oh, what if this was like me or my family member?
25:41It kind of feels like, feels quite scary actually.
25:44And then we're doing a below knee amputation.
25:48For which leg is that?
25:49The left leg.
25:50Left leg.
25:51So I'm going to lose my leg from here down.
25:54It's a new change for me.
25:56It's a new chapter in my life.
25:58Yeah.
25:59This is just another hurdle that I have to climb.
26:02And I know I've got the strength.
26:05Okay.
26:06Well I have to.
26:07And yeah, I've got the strength to get through this.
26:09Yeah.
26:11I want it to be like someone patients can talk to and like feel useful to the patient.
26:18Sometimes they need a little bit more TLC.
26:22Hopefully you'll be not too long.
26:33You know, I feel like a real doctor at that point.
26:39Hello.
26:40Hey.
26:41How are you going?
26:42Yeah.
26:43You look nice.
26:44Oh, thanks.
26:45Hey, good morning.
26:46Have you heard back around time off?
26:47Well, when I come back?
26:48I'm just going to assume I have to leave.
26:49Yeah, sorry.
26:50Do you know what time your flight is?
26:51I think I get in about midday.
26:52Eek.
26:53Can't wait.
26:54Yeah, love you.
26:55Yeah, I love you too.
26:56Yeah.
26:57Love you too.
26:58Yeah.
26:59Love you too.
27:00Yeah.
27:01Love you too.
27:02Yeah.
27:03Love you too.
27:04Yeah.
27:05Love you too.
27:06Yeah.
27:07Yeah.
27:08Okay.
27:09Love you.
27:10Bye.
27:11Two weeks.
27:12I get giggly like a little child when I think about it.
27:15I can catch the sun in both of my hands.
27:20Hello, darling.
27:21Feel the pull of new dreams and plans.
27:24Medicine has just become such a massive part of my life.
27:27Yeah.
27:28Yeah, me.
27:29I used to be, when Brad lived here, a girlfriend.
27:34And now I'm back to being a doctor.
27:38I am a senior doctor on the floor.
27:39That's really scary to me.
27:40And so it should be.
27:41Because it's a massive amount of responsibility.
27:42Especially in the middle of the night.
27:45You are expected to step up.
27:46Now, I have some ground rules.
27:47Okay.
27:48We're ready.
27:49We're ready.
27:50So, A, when you ring me, just start off by telling me what you're ringing for.
27:51Okay?
27:52So, I then start thinking about, what is it in the story that I'm going to listen to?
27:53Yeah.
27:54You can also start off by saying, hey, Hina, can you come?
27:56That's fine.
27:57Then I know what you're ringing for.
27:58I know it's because it's a massive amount of responsibility.
27:59Because it's a massive amount of responsibility.
28:00Especially in the middle of the night.
28:01You are expected to step up.
28:02Now, I have some ground rules.
28:03We're ready.
28:04We're ready.
28:05So, A, when you ring me, just start off by telling me what you're ringing for.
28:09Okay?
28:10So, I then start thinking about what is it in the story that I'm going to listen to?
28:17Yeah.
28:18You can also start off by saying, hey, Hina, can you come?
28:21That's fine.
28:22Then I know that no more questions need to be asked and I'll just come.
28:25Whatever decisions you make, you run them by Shannon or me.
28:28Yeah.
28:29Okay.
28:30Shannon is boss one.
28:31I'm boss two.
28:34Shannon's had to take on a lot more responsibility.
28:37One of the things about people that are good as she is, a good clinical doctor, we then rely
28:42more and more on her and then put more and more responsibility on her.
28:47There is no other way to learn but on the job.
28:50And a lot of the times it's just being thrown into it.
28:53All right.
28:54I will head upstairs.
28:55Okay.
28:56The consultant's always on site, but most of the time they'll be in bed unless we need
29:02them.
29:03But ultimately, yeah, you just have that added responsibility of being the person that makes
29:08the decisions yourself.
29:09It definitely adds a lot more anxiety on the night shift.
29:12Right.
29:13Who's in?
29:14Room nine's now comfy.
29:15She's got pain relief on board.
29:17All right.
29:18You lead.
29:19Swuffy, swuffy.
29:20Come on.
29:21Hi, swuffy.
29:22Well done.
29:23I'm getting to nine centimetres.
29:24Good work.
29:27The reason I've come in is just in between pushes, the baby's heart rate is getting a
29:30little bit high.
29:32And lower the whole beach.
29:33The midwives are so capable here that I'm only called in if they think the baby needs
29:39assistance coming out.
29:40You ready?
29:41Yeah.
29:42Okay.
29:43Yeah.
29:44Give it to us.
29:45Go, go, go, go, go.
29:46Good, good, good, good, good.
29:47Hold it.
29:48Hold it.
29:49Hold it.
29:50Nice.
29:51Now take a breath.
29:52Baby's heart rate's a bit higher after that one.
29:55So next contraction I'll give you a hand.
29:58Okay.
29:59You're getting a contraction?
30:00It's a building?
30:01Yeah.
30:02Go for it.
30:03Go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go.
30:06Nice.
30:07Keep going, keep going, keep going, keep going.
30:08Hold that one.
30:09Yeah.
30:10Oh, that's so good.
30:11Go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go.
30:12As long as you can, hold it.
30:14Hold it.
30:15Oh, we can see hair.
30:20Ooh.
30:21Give us a pinch of cheese.
30:23And push.
30:24Oh, beauty.
30:29Hi, baby.
30:32Catch.
30:36Good job, mama.
30:38Congratulations.
30:39Thank you, guys.
30:40You did so well.
30:43Wow, you're phenomenal.
30:49Hi, baby.
30:50Welcome.
30:51So happy?
30:52I'm so happy for you.
30:53Sometimes I do a shift and everything's gone well and I think, I'm good at this job.
31:01Really, like, makes me feel good.
31:04I do love it.
31:09Are you coming for a cup of tea?
31:10Yeah.
31:11Yippee.
31:12There's this thing where people are like, you have to be a certain kind of person to work
31:16in Middlemore.
31:17I love the people.
31:19Oh, it's sweet.
31:20Yummy.
31:21Why?
31:22It's like one big family in O&G.
31:23Like, everyone is just really supportive.
31:26It looks gourmet.
31:28Your socks are getting a lot of traction on Instagram.
31:31Do they have anything other than uteruses?
31:33They have vulva.
31:35Oh, and they've got boobs.
31:36You should get some.
31:38Yeah, I'm going to order the uteruses and the vulvas.
31:40Mm-hmm.
31:41What are they?
31:42Scrotums?
31:43They're bladder.
31:44Oh.
31:45It's kidneys.
31:46Oh.
31:51Not too much caffeine.
31:52Can't have the shakes.
31:55I've got the rings ready for you.
31:57Oh, yeah.
31:58Very important job.
32:01Oh, wow.
32:02That's actually quite pretty.
32:03So this one's for me.
32:06That one's for Medita.
32:08Not stressed at all.
32:10Woo.
32:15This is like my dream.
32:16Just breakfast with Stephen.
32:18This is lovely.
32:19This is nice.
32:20You've done well, Jordan.
32:21Oh, thank you.
32:22It's quite a ritual with Jordan and me to have waffles.
32:26It's kind of like a de-stressing ritual.
32:28Yeah.
32:29If it's hard to get like a proper one-on-one time with each other.
32:34We're busy working.
32:35Stephen has a fiance.
32:37And if I am not careful, suddenly there's a bit of a tension between my fiance and my best mate.
32:44Competing for time.
32:45I think I'm already mentally prepared for, you know, really just releasing Stephen into his new marriage.
32:53But I think the biggest thing is I'll probably let them have their house together.
32:59You're saying you're moving out?
33:00I'll move out, yeah.
33:01Oh, Jordan.
33:02Have we discussed this?
33:03I don't know if I'm ready for that, actually.
33:06But, um, okay.
33:08Yeah.
33:09Because, you know, I think it's probably about time.
33:12And, um, I think you guys are totally ready for the next step.
33:16We've been through a lot.
33:22We've seen the city changing.
33:29As you go for each challenge in life, you learn a series of coping strategies.
33:35And you get some of that from other people.
33:39Through role models and people that you aspire to be like.
33:46And being able to live with Jordan, it's life-saving.
33:52It's life-giving.
33:54It takes a real friend to point out when it's the end.
34:00After I had my stroke, I wasn't allowed to return to school.
34:04And then partying was strictly forbidden, which was a bitter pill to swallow.
34:10All right, lads.
34:12And I want to just return back to what I was doing before, like all the other 18-year-olds.
34:16You guys have to scrunch in a little bit and maybe come forward.
34:19Best man at your service.
34:20Come forward a little bit.
34:22When I got into med school, I met Jordan.
34:25I definitely lived a bit of an 18-year-old's life.
34:27Perfect.
34:28Oh, I think I blinked.
34:29I had to get that out of my system.
34:31It was kind of that stunted development.
34:33All right, just the goal is don't worry about lifting me.
34:34You can be the umbrella holder.
34:35Just don't rip your pants.
34:36Yeah.
34:37Okay.
34:38And I think Jordan was me tapping into a bit of that life that was somewhat taken away from me.
34:44Sit.
34:45Okay.
34:47Not your one.
34:49So then maybe we'll hold his legs.
34:50Yeah.
34:51Who's squeezing right now?
34:52Left butt door.
34:54So we'll present him like a platter slowly slowly.
34:58Hey, who keeps squeezing?
35:01But with each year, the responsibility gets bigger.
35:05I'm ready to grow up, get married, and move on.
35:16I've just finished a 10-day stretching work.
35:20I've managed to get a few days off.
35:22So I'm going to pick my partner up from the airport.
35:24I haven't seen him in about four months because he lives in France.
35:28Yeah, this day couldn't have come sooner.
35:32I feel like a little child at Christmas.
35:35I can't wait to see his little face.
35:36I'm going to cry.
35:37Oh, wait.
35:38I'm crying.
35:39I'm so happy to see you.
35:40I'm safe to see you, though.
35:41It's only been four months.
35:42I know.
35:43Do you think that's too much?
35:44It's too late.
35:45It's too late.
35:46Welcome to cooking with the dummies.
35:47This is my first time for a very long time.
35:48It felt like a real dog.
35:49It's too late.
35:50It's too late.
35:51I'm so happy to see you.
35:52I'm so happy to see you, though.
35:53I'm so happy to see you, though.
35:54I'm so happy to see you, though.
35:55I'm so happy to see you, though.
35:56I'm so happy to see you, though.
35:57It's only been four months.
35:58I know.
35:59Do you think that's too much?
36:00It's too late.
36:01Welcome to cooking with the dummies.
36:08This is my first time for a very long time.
36:13I felt like a real normal person in a normal relationship.
36:18Tell us more about your cooking skills, right?
36:22Yeah, I've got a real range of cooking skills, thanks, Sean.
36:26No, seriously, that's restaurant quality right there.
36:30Vegetarian delight.
36:33Valentine's Day tomorrow.
36:36Is it? What have you planned?
36:38I actually have planned something, I will say.
36:40You're such a liar.
36:41For the first time in our relationship,
36:43I've actually sorted something out for Valentine's Day.
36:46I mean, actually, I don't know if you're lying to me.
36:49I'm not lying this time.
36:50When I moved over to France,
36:52I sort of realised how much support Shannon gives me
36:55and how much I'll miss that.
36:57And, yeah, I know she gets pretty stressed out with her exams
37:00and study and stuff,
37:02and I can sort of calm her down and stuff like that too.
37:04Yeah.
37:05So it's...
37:07Yeah, it's hard not being here to support her.
37:10I have really bad anxiety and I can get really...
37:14Like, things can affect my sleep, my eating,
37:17and I'll just go down a hole and I can't get out of it.
37:20I'll ring him and I'll be like,
37:21I'm having a breakdown, you need to listen.
37:23And then he'll listen and he'll talk me round and I'll be like,
37:25Okay, I feel great, I can sleep now. Thank you, babe.
37:33I grew up as an only child.
37:35I spend so much time on my own.
37:37You get used to it.
37:38But I think over time, that changes.
37:41When Brad goes, it's literally just me and the cat for a company.
37:46Bye.
37:47People are like, oh, it must be really hard, you know,
37:50not having anyone here.
37:52But I just compartmentalise everything.
37:55I just ignore it. Ignorance is bliss.
37:58I just pretend it's not happening
38:00and I just keep waking up every day and going to work.
38:06I'm like a little bunny.
38:08Like, I'm just, like, wide-eyed and, like,
38:10nothing really too terrible has happened to me,
38:13so I'm, like, very excited to go to work.
38:15Does she charted aspirin?
38:17Apparently, she's not charted.
38:18Oh, God.
38:19So maybe chart aspirin.
38:20I'm excited to, like, do the job
38:22and completing, like, all these tasks.
38:24And then you, like, tick it off and then you highlight.
38:26And it's kind of fun, actually.
38:28Maybe you could describe it as, like, a honeymoon phase.
38:34It's a long day.
38:35So it's from 7.30 to 10, slash 10.30-ish.
38:41This is my first one, so I actually don't know if it's...
38:44I feel, yeah.
38:45So I don't know what it's usually like,
38:47but I have heard that it's really tough.
38:50You've got to get thrown into the fire.
38:54Sorry.
38:55That's right.
38:56Uh, so, um, you should quickly type up that note.
39:01Yeah.
39:02Um, and then, so for every patient that comes in,
39:06can we try and chart them some basic pain relief options?
39:09Yeah.
39:10And while you do that, I'll prep the note for the next one
39:11that we're going to see.
39:12Oh, OK, then.
39:13And the next person that we might see is in room 10.
39:15There's a hernia.
39:16OK, cool.
39:17Things will move very quick.
39:20So, tell me about hernias.
39:22Um, there's femoral and there's inguinal hernias.
39:25Yep.
39:26What are the things that you would worry about
39:27when you see a hernia acutely?
39:29Or a grain lump acutely?
39:31That.
39:32What are the things that we're looking for it to not be?
39:34Uh.
39:35That we're hoping it's not.
39:36Like, you would be worried that if it would be necrotic
39:39or, like, get, what do you call it, closed off?
39:42What's a, OK, what's a better way of saying it?
39:44What's a complication of a...
39:46Bellobst...
39:47Yep, yep, yep.
39:48That's really good.
39:49Obstruction.
39:50What else?
39:51Um, perforation from the...
39:52Back it up a little bit.
39:53Oh, back it up.
39:54Um...
39:55Strangulation.
39:56Oh, strangulation.
39:57Yep, yep.
39:58And what can happen when something strangulates?
39:59It dies.
40:00Yeah, it's getting in.
40:01Yep.
40:02So I'm Claire.
40:03This is Shadi and we're two doctors.
40:04Hiya.
40:05It's really nice to meet you.
40:06So I understand you have a groin lump.
40:09Yes, I'm getting pain all the way down here now.
40:11OK.
40:12And down on both sides in the groin area.
40:14OK.
40:15Every morning I'm dry reaching.
40:16I can't have anything to eat or drink until about 11 o'clock.
40:19I don't think you need any emergency surgery.
40:21I'm pleased with that.
40:22I think we'll give you some x-rays just to make sure
40:24there's nothing else going on that could be causing those symptoms.
40:27It might be that we need to go home later tonight.
40:29OK.
40:30All right.
40:31Let's go.
40:32Next person we're going to see is a 25-year-old with testicular pain.
40:34So who knows what we'll find.
40:36Let me know where you're sore.
40:38Um, it feels like above it almost.
40:40Yeah.
40:41Can you turn your head to the left and give me a cough?
40:44I understand that you saw a doctor in the community today with some tummy pain.
40:49Yeah.
40:50Yeah.
40:51Oh, sorry.
40:52I'm sorry.
40:53Are you OK?
40:54Yeah.
40:55OK.
40:56So I've chartered some pain relief and a bag of fluid.
40:57And I'll order some x-rays now and we'll go from there.
40:59OK.
41:00I need you to call the on-call pain anaesthetist.
41:03But before we make that phone call you should check his allergy status because it sounds
41:07like he's allergic to many things.
41:09Mm-hmm.
41:10Can you finish that note and then prep the note for room 3?
41:12Yeah.
41:13When you're prepping the note, you're thinking, even before you see them, like, what could
41:16this be?
41:17Yeah.
41:18We can give him something short-acting to get him through the scan.
41:21OK.
41:22You got that?
41:23You all right?
41:24Yeah.
41:25OK.
41:26Would you tell me if you weren't all right?
41:27Yeah.
41:28OK.
41:29What have you managed to find out about room 3?
41:30Um...
41:31Sorry.
41:32Nothing yet.
41:33I'll do it.
41:35You nearly ready to go with the next one?
41:37Yeah, I can go.
41:38I can just write it on, like, a note.
41:40Yeah.
41:41Have you published the note for the last one?
41:42I have published.
41:43Cool.
41:44Cool.
41:45Cool.
41:46Good.
41:47Room 3 has had a colonoscopy.
41:48OK.
41:50Shadi, are you good to go for the next person?
41:53Oh, um...
41:54I'm just...
41:55Yeah.
42:01I knew what I was supposed to do, but I was just not able to execute it very quickly.
42:07I'm a bit overwhelmed at the moment.
42:09Just there's so many things happening at once, and everything, and, like, you have jobs to
42:16do from the ward round.
42:17You have...
42:18Oh, I'm just going in.
42:19Ready to roll?
42:20Yeah.
42:21Let's go.
42:23I'm so sorry about the wade.
42:24I hear you've come in with some really bad tummy pain.
42:27First...
42:28Long day shift.
42:29Anyways.
42:30I'm a bit teary.
42:31It was a bit of a long day.
42:34But...
42:35I think it's just more teary from, like, feeling a bit overwhelmed.
42:41I'm just exhausted.
42:42Close your eyes and get some rest.
42:44Slow the beam inside your chest.
42:45Slow the beam inside your chest.
42:46I'm just exhausted.
42:47Close your eyes and get some rest.
42:51Slow the beam inside your chest.
42:52Becoming a doctor feels like a big milestone.
42:53But I still feel like a baby.
42:54I'm just exhausted.
42:55I'm just exhausted.
42:56Close your eyes and get some rest.
42:58Slow the beam inside your chest.
43:13Becoming a doctor feels like a big milestone.
43:18But I still feel like a baby.
43:21Good things come to those who wait.
43:28Older doctors are definitely an inspiration on how they manage to get through.
43:34I don't really know what kind of sacrifices they had to make.
43:39Close your eyes, it's getting late.
43:43I have hope, though, that it will be okay.
44:05I'm just upset, actually, that I didn't get out of myself.
44:07I know, but you can get over that.
44:08I struggle with negative feedback, and I've been open with my bosses about that.
44:13Going into the run, I was hoping that I'd feel more like a doctor.
44:17Deep breaths in and out.
44:19That's a very good for a first go.
44:22I like seeing the human side of medicine.
44:26Oh, flip forward for me.
44:29Good, okay, just freeze, just freeze.
44:32Woo!
44:33Oh.
44:34Bye bye.
44:35Bye bye.
44:37I have a Ting.
44:38I have ateen, baby.
44:39I have a daughter of the gegenwraer.
44:41Yeah, she's like a man.
44:42I've been doing that.
44:43I've been doing that.
44:44I have a daughter of the right.
44:45How much therique is like a girl.
44:46I have a daughter of the right group, who loves a sister of the right group.
44:49I can't do it.
44:50I can't do it.
44:51I can't do it.
44:52I've been doing this for a last go.
44:53Somehow she's like a girl.
