All right, we've got our coffee chat today and we're gonna follow up on something that we've talked about quite a few times mentioned, but we wanted to go into a bit more detail today, didn't we, about the doshers, about the microbiome, about the ethics and energy behind food, about choices that we have now that perhaps we didn't have 100 years ago. Yeah. And this is following up, you guys. Catherine, if y'all are following the Dark Outpost TV, Catherine came on on Tuesday and literally blew the show away.  And so after we got off with David, I was like, you know what, we need to follow up with this because we were focused on animals at that point, but we're animals as well. And this is something that a lot of people that follow me have asked me about because I mentioned the doshers a lot and the Ayurvedic diet a lot on my channel. And it's, you know, I've said this before, when you're in a certain field of work and you obtain all this information, sometimes I think you forget that somebody else doesn't actually know these things that you know because they haven't been exposed to it yet. And the doshan diet through the Ayurvedic system changed my life, totally changed everything for me. I was as a child, I constantly, I had terrible stomach issues as a child. My mother tells me stories that when I was like really little, I would tell her like just to put crackers in my lunchbox because I didn't want a lot of food because my stomach would hurt. And no, I was in and out of doctor's offices, constantly looking at my colon to see what was going on. Doctors could not figure out why I was having these issues. At 14 years old, I stopped eating meat because at that point, I didn't even know what a vegetarian was, but every time I ate meat, I would get very sick. My body would just reject it a lot. And these issues lasted for me up to the age of 33.  And when I went my first trip to India, when I walked into an Ayurvedic clinic and I learned about the doshas, and that was like a light bulb went off in my head. And ever since then, I have not had any digestive problems because I learned how to eat for my body. And more importantly for my energy because we are all energy. Our body, it runs off of energy.  And every single human being on this earth is going to be different. It's your disposition. And this doesn't just, when you get into the doshas, it doesn't just go into like the biochemistry. It also looks at your personality as well because it's all connected. The mind, body are connected. And that is something that I think as Westerners, now the thing about Ayurvedic medicine for the most part is that it is preventative medicine. There is a place for Western medicine. There is a place for emergency surgeries.  And something interesting, when I started following my doshas diet, all of a sudden everything again changed for me. I started to feel healthy. And I realized I never felt that my whole life had more energy. My eyes got clearer. And I wasn't like I was our friend Stephanie from Spiritual Perspectives of Our Great Awakening. I've been working with her on this off-camera.  And when they switch their diet up and realize that they weren't eating foods good for them, they can then go longer periods about eating because their body's actually getting the nutrients and at that point that it wasn't getting before because before it didn't have the elements to break down the food you were feeding it. And so there are three different doshas that we work with. And this is- Before you get into that though, before you go through the doshas, can I just add something to that? Because what's really important is nowadays a lot of what we talk, when you look up a particular foodstuff, the problem is you're not just getting that food, you're getting all the chemicals, the genetic engineering, et cetera, that goes with it. So when we're going through this, when the doshas were originally sort of discovered, worked with, taught, we were dealing with real food without this man-made interference. And now we've got all the man-made interference which can be absolutely devastating. We're gonna talk about the microbiome. We've got to take that information and take it with this new wherever we at now and combine the two. So we'll be talking you through that as we go through this program. Absolutely. And I will say too, like where I live in the world, we do have a lot of farms. And so if you can go to like get something from a farmer's market where it's not as, of course, everything at this point has a little bit of contamination. You can find certain farmers that will give you, will help you with their produce and stuff like that. Now, can I share a screen, Catherine? Can I, I'm gonna pull up the doshas for you guys. Now, the interesting thing about the doshas too is that also, so one of the principles of Ayurveda is that you have to be, your insides have to match the exterior. They have to be in harmony. And I always laugh with my students here because I live in a big city. So I'm like, that means that you get to go have a greasy pizza and drink a beer every now and again because we're in a city, right? We have to match, we can't be. But if I lived up in the North Georgia mountains where it's crystal clear and pure, I could go completely, not having any toxins and balance the exterior of that as well. So let's look at this, and I'm just pulling up some images guys because I also wanna say too, if this is something you're super interested in, now I am not an Ayurveda doctor. Ayurveda is the sister science of yoga. Patan Jaleen who wrote the Yoga Sutras also wrote a book on Ayurvedic medicine. They do compliment each other, but I'm just giving you guys what I know from my education system and from my experiences as a client of a patient of Ayurvedic medicine. But if this is something you're super interested in, I would definitely suggest finding an Ayurvedic clinic in your area. Now with that being said, most Ayurvedic clinics are gonna put you on a vegetarian diet. That is 80% of India is vegetarian. Some of them have figured meat out for people who are meat eaters, but for the most part, they're gonna want you to go vegetarian. So just so you guys know that. Now we have the three different elements. You have the Vata dosha, the Pitta dosha and the Kappa dosha. Now again guys, this is Kappa and Sanskrit, the pH does not make the F sound like it does in English. It's Kappa dosha. Okay, so my dosha, my disposition is Vata Pitta. So Vata is air. It's cerebral. So for me, I'm very bony. You can see I'm very sharp bones. That's Vata. I like folklore and legend. I like philosophy. That's cerebral. That's thinking. And Vata, because it's an air element, it also means that I have very dry skin and I have a very dry colon. My internal organs have the propensity to be dry as well. So that was why I, as a child, was having a hard time digesting things. It's because my colon, because I carry predominantly the Vata dosha, I am dry. And that's not a bad thing. It's just something you have to know. Now the Pitta dosha is fire. So Pittas are usually, and that's my secondary dosha. Pittas are usually very, like I would guess Catherine that your daughter is probably Pitta because she's an athlete, right? Pittas are very athletic. They're very fast-moving. They're very fiery in their energy. They have a healthy sweat. They can sweat healthy. They usually have a really good digestive system like they're able to go to the bathroom very quickly. And then Kappa dosha is the earth-based, water-based dosha. So Kappas are typically, Kappas are very juicy people to me. They're kind of like, and I explained it with the personality of a Kappa. They're kind of like potheds, but they're not high. They just kind of have that real laid back. They're very, Kappas typically have a hard time losing weight. They typically are very grounded into the ground. They're very heavy set for the most part. They're usually pretty flexible. They're joints are super juicy. And so what that means, now ideally what we want to look at ideally, if we were living in a balanced world, which that's not the point of being human, the point of being human is that we come imbalanced in order to learn and grow, is that we would be equally tri-dosha. All right, but that for most people, that's not the case. Some people are tri-dosha, but that still doesn't mean they're not balanced. They still have to work on balancing. Well, because I, for example, lead with the Vata dosha, the air dosha, I cannot eat Vata foods. So foods are also in these three categories. So what is a Vata food? Well, Vata food, if you think about the Vata's being cerebral, it's anything that grows on a vine or grows up like lettuce.   So I can't do juices, which oddly enough, well, not oddly enough, because I am Vata, those are the foods that I crave the most because like attracts like. But when I started switching my diet around and eating more Kappa-based foods, because that's the opposite dosha, which for Kappa, since it's earth-based, that is anything grown in the earth, like a potato, a sweet potato, carrots, anything that's in the earth is Kappa-based. So for me as with an overabundance of Vata, I then have to eat Kappa to bring that Vata down to balance it. And so if I were to eat like an apple or something, it would have to be cooked like applesauce because that's what my disposition, my energy needs. Now a Kappa person on the other hand, does well on a Vata diet, eating apples, eating juices, doing juice cleanses, that would be a good balance for a Kappa. Vata, another thing about the Vata dosha for me, I don't experience hunger pains that often. So for me as a Vata, because I'm cerebral-based, when I notice that I'm getting hungry, the first thing I notice is I start to zone out, all right, because it's cerebral. So that's my first clue that I need to eat. As a Vata, I do have the propensity to forget to eat sometimes. That's just sometimes in Vata's gets the point where they're about to like space out because they, so I have to keep snacks on me. Now a Kappa on the other hand can go hours without eating. Usually these are the people who do really good on like eating once a day, because it's the way that their body breaks down the energy. Now another thing too, like let's say a Kappa person is trying to lose weight, because usually Kappas are the ones that struggle with weight issues, and they're eating foods that are Kappa-based, like carrots, potatoes, sweet potatoes, and they're not losing the weight or they still feel hungry. If they were to switch it to the diet that balances them, all of a sudden their body starts to receive the proper nutrients, and all of a sudden they too don't crave food. Sometimes when we crave to snack, it's because our body isn't able to get the nutrients out of the food, we're giving it to the body searching for more nutrients. This also goes with oils. So over here in the United States, people are in this big coconut oil kick, a coconut oil on everything. Well, my friends, if you're Vata like I am, coconut oil is the worst thing for you, because it's cooling and you're already cool and dry, right? So you need to stay with the coconut oil price as well. There's a lot of misconception because when you're looking at all of these, again, people really need to look at how the stuff is processed and how it's produced, because it's like you're calling something, something that isn't the real thing. So a lot of the problems are absolutely fitting into these categories, but also sometimes when people say following a system like this and it's not working for them, it's not that the system isn't applicable to them, it's that the quality of the food. And one of the main things that's really difficult for a consumer to understand is how that food's been processed. So for example, you can have an organic coconut oil, but if it's been hot processed through pipes and things, it changes the chemical composition. They can still sell it as an organic coconut oil, but if it's not cold-pressed, the properties will become completely different and your body will recognize it in a completely different way. Absolutely, and that's so funny because all of my oils that I have, and I haven't been to India in a while since the lockdown happened, but I come back every time I go to India, I come back with suitcases full of castor oil, coconut oil, because I know it's better quality over there. And that will be something, so if you guys are, if you go to an Ayurvedic doctor, they can probably help you find companies that are gonna be ethically creating these oils. And I've told this to you, Catherine, like I can smell it. If I go into a restaurant, I can smell whether or not it's gonna upset my stomach or not and usually it has to do with the oil because my body cannot, sesame oil is the best oil for me, for my dosha. You can see here, like here's a picture where it shows the diagrams of different body types of the different doshas. Now, because for me, I'm Vata Pitta, so I'm very bony as far as like I have, people used to laugh at me, the knobby needs, my knees are knobby, my legs are skinny, that's very Vata, but I'm also Pitta as my second dosha. So that means that I am also very athletic. So that, you can see that, and I know I talked to you guys a lot about exercise, that's the Pitta in me coming out that I like to sweat. So that's the two marrying each other. Now, as far as if you're like Pitta in balance, a lot of Pittas who are Pitta in balance should stay away from like spicy foods because their fire is already too active and so they have to then cool it down, it's balancing that energy. Now the interesting thing too about the doshas, as I was saying, as above, so below, as inside, as outside, our daytime, our days have different hours that are different doshas as well, different dispositions. So Vata time, the Vata, the cerebral time of day for humans is 2 a.m. to 6 a.m. So we, in India, they also call this Brahma morta, which is the time of God. So you think of the cerebral time, that the thought, the air, the rising up, this is the time of God from 2 a.m. to 6 a.m. This is why in traditional yoga, like when I'm in India, I get up at 2 and I'm at the Shalva by 3 a.m. Because that's when my practice happens because it's the Vata time, the Brahma morta time. It's also the time where you are quieter yourself and so you're able to have more of an honesty. From 6 a.m. to 10 a.m. is Kappa time. And so if you sleep, and this is a good experiment for people to do. If you, it is easier to get up in the morning at five o'clock in the morning than it is to get up at seven o'clock in the morning because you're at from 6 to 10 a.m., you're at in Kappa time. So you're in a very sleepy, very cocoony time of day where you just wanna stay in the bed. But then from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m., you're in Pitta time. So this is the real fiery time of the day where you're usually out running your errands. It's when you're eating lunch, which should technically be actually your biggest meal because that's when your body can digest it better because it's in that fiery time of day. And then again, from 2 to 6 in the afternoon, we're going back to Vata. Now from 6 to 10 p.m., we're again back in Kappa. And so it's super important to go to bed before 10 p.m. because 10 to 2 a.m., so 10 p.m. to 2 a.m., you're again back in Pitta time. So if you're staying up past 10 p.m., it's gonna be harder to go to bed because you hit that fire cycle again. And you'll notice that I'm sure, Catherine, you have two children, children, a lot of children have the propensity to have stomach viruses when they're kids. And sometimes they would just wake up in the middle of the night, throw up. Usually when your kid's throwing up, it's between 10 p.m. and 2 a.m. because that's Pitta time. So the elements of the earth we're in is giving them that boost to then get out what they need to get out, which we know that's what throwing up is, is the body trying to get rid of something. And so it works in these cycles. And if you can start to learn these cycles and work with them, it's made such a huge difference for me in my life. As of someone who's Vata, I have a really hard time sleeping. Sleep is not something that comes easy for me. For a cop, a person, they can fall asleep anywhere because I overthink things. So my mind goes crazy and I start overthinking stuff. So if I make sure I'm in bed and asleep before 10 p.m., I'm way better off than staying up past 10 p.m. And so these are just knowing this information is gonna help people really start to learn themselves and learn this magic of creating this energy. Now, as far as our life too, the whole lifespan of a human being, we have different phases. So when you're a child, when you're born up until puberty, you're in the cop of time. So for me, as a child, I was born Vata pitta. You always carry your doshas, but as in childhood, I was in that cop of time. And you think of children, they have that cute little puppy fat. Most children just want everyone to be happy. They're yummy and they're sweet and they just wanna cocoon. That's the cop of time. And then once we hit puberty and for women, when you get your period to menopause, so when your period stops for men, just the same age range, but of course men don't have period so they don't have something to market, that's pitta time. So Catherine and I are both in our pitta time of life right now.  She's having her babies. She's building her home. She's building her career. Same with men. You're building your career. You're working hard.  And then after menopause for women and same age range for men too, you go into the vata time of life where you're thinking about the more spiritual aspect, you're getting closer to your mortality. So all these things come up. Now for me as a vata pitta, I already struggle with things I have in the past like arthritis, which is common for vatas because of the dryness of the bones. So I know that when I go into that cycle of life of the vata time, being a vata element myself, I'm gonna have to be really careful to really follow that diet so that the arthritis doesn't get worse because I'll be meeting vata with vata. And so this is, and I was saying this to Stephanie the other day who's been doing this. Ideally, I know this is hard to do. Like we live in a society where you have food is put on the table at dinner and that's it, that's your food.  But ideally every single person in your household should be eating a different meal depending on their disposition and what's better served for them. Now my sister and I are both vata pitta but our parents are both pitta kappa. And so that's why a lot of times when I was a child I could not digest what my parents were easily digesting because we're two different dispositions. Their body could handle it, mine couldn't. And but if it was flip-flopped and I was the vata pitta making food for a pitta kappa, they wouldn't be able to digest it. It would be a different element of energy for them whereas I could. And I hope that makes sense. It is the most, when you guys, and I know a lot of people do like these little quizzes online to find their dosha, those are okay but they're usually just gonna give you one dosha which is your leading dosha where you're typically a competition of two.  And that all is giving them information about how you energetically carry yourself in the world which isn't bad or good, it's just your disposition. And so that's gonna tell the doctor what you're carrying and then they can help you balance that if that makes sense. Yeah and there's loads of things that this links into. So one of the reasons why people do their own online quizzes, why sometimes it gives them quite misleading information is because what you're experiencing now physically, emotionally, spiritually can be very, well we know now scientifically and spiritually that it's very affected by our microbiome because we've got more bacteria, viral, fungal cells in our body, we're more of that than we are human cells. And the thing is, it's like anything, most of us anyone watching this will be quite out of balance because we've got so much, we've spoken so much about the pollution, so toxicity, whether it's words, whether it's thoughts, whether it's EMF, whether it's air pollution, whether it's heavy metals, whether it's pesticides. So when you go and see a proper practitioner and like you were saying, Bryce, that links into the iridology for example, the idea of what they're looking in the eyes and not actually doing a full iridology assessment, but so many of these natural practitioners of anything will come up with the same information from different angles because the thing is you're, there's so many clues that are left there. And when you then allow yourself to experiment and try these things and adjust over time so that your microbiome can adjust, the difference in the vitality, people just feel like a different person, they feel 10 years younger. And a big part of that, I also find Bryce, which again, I read it, medicine takes into account is also your belief systems because we are all energy, your belief system is really important for you to take into account because just because a nutritionist is telling you that this type of food is good for your blood type or for the type of athleticism you want to do, if that doesn't align with your core spiritual beliefs, there's going to be a fundamental imbalance there and your body will pick that up and reflect it to you. So that's why when you work with these ancient traditions, all of that is taken into account and that's why they're so, so successful because if you're shutting down one of your core belief systems because someone's told you that's good for you, well, it might be for them, but it isn't necessarily for you. So I just love these systems because they really do, when you go and see someone who really is trained in this, all of these aspects are taken into account which is why it's so powerful and so effective in my opinion. And that's why I was telling you guys, like when my first consultation with an Ayurvedic doctor, they, a lot of what they were asking me really had nothing to do with what a medical doctor would have been asking me. It was about my personality. It was about my habits as a human, what I believe, all that kind of stuff. And I'll tell you, when I first was, when I first started struggling with arthritis and my right before I found this system, which the diet for me has helped a lot with that, as people were trying to get me to incorporate more bone marrow into my diet, and that I just wouldn't do it. I mean, I know, wait a minute, we feed Robbie gets animal, all that kind of stuff, like with your diet, because that's his, but for me as a human being, I made that decision a long time ago that for me, that was not okay, that I was not gonna be taking from the living thing to support my life. And I was getting that from everyone, you're gonna struggle with this until you incorporate bone marrow. And I was just like, no. And yeah, so it is possible. Yeah, and for me, it probably, because I'm a Vata element, which means that I do have the propensity to overthink things. If I had started eating bone marrow, my own guilt, stress over thinking probably actually would have made it worse. Because I would have been so- It would have affected your whole microbiome, your ability to process it, and your inflammatory molecules. So it's so important that people, we've talked about this the whole way through, haven't we, Bryce? Because so many people do, and I think everyone watching this, but you are unique. But equally, getting that expert help, if you feel there's areas of you physically, emotionally, spiritually that are out of balance, there's so many amazing practitioners out there to help. Because what can sometimes happen, it's like, if you want a very stressed age, you're not going to make good life positions. No. That's going to move over and over again. So if I'm ben known to you, your body's in a stress state, and you might not realize it, because what we accept as good health now is so far for our animals, this is what Bryce and I were talking about with David Zublick, for our animals and for ourselves, what we accept as normal now is so far away from normal. And it's so exciting when you do find someone that resonates with you in a system that really works for you just to see what's really, really possible. But sometimes, did you find Bryce, when you were working with that, it is important to give things a go, isn't it? And feel whether something resonates with you. But equally, we do live in a society where we expect instantaneous results. And of course sometimes it will be an instantaneous result.  But other times, it's like, it's allowing your whole energy systems at every level to adjust and take it on board. And that's when you can really get the best results in my experience. Well, I will say for me, when I first started eating from my dosha, I did immediately feel a difference. My body all of a sudden was like celebrating. I immediately saw a difference in my sleep patterns, all that kind of stuff. But I know that there are some people that, and for me the detoxing wasn't that bad. And that was because I have been heavily, I think I think because I've been heavily a heavy exerciser for 15 years now. And so my body was used to pushing things out. That's why I think it wasn't so bad for me. But you might experience some detox.   You might still have to like detox some of those that stuff out that maybe wasn't vibrationally good for you, if that makes sense. And so yeah. Also when you live as well, because if you live in a city, you're gonna be exposed to a lot more toxins in general than it was while you're living in the middle of nature in the middle of a world that's absorbing all the toxins. So it's just sort of, when you find a lot of it is that confidence. So if someone's telling you to is, most people, if they do some sort of detox fast will feel a lot better after it. But that doesn't necessarily mean that's your long-term habits for you. So the difference is, is when, when you look into this properly either yourself or with a health practitioner and they really understand the long-term effects that your body is looking at.   And quite often people then start doubting their decision and they think, well, was it really that bad? And yes, it was that bad. It's just your subconscious mind has made a shift that they think, thank God, they're going to do something about it in the long-term. So they let go of all that tension. So quite often, suddenly changing your diet in any way, people can experience amazing results.  But then they realize long-term it's not necessarily right for their body because when you make any change your body thanks you for it. Because they're like, well, at least they're doing something but it's important to have from whatever system resonates with you the right information so that you know what's gonna be really good for you on a long-term basis not just quick fits. And with the dosha diet I was telling this to our friend, Stephanie, I was like, you know, just because I try to stay away from bought to food doesn't mean that I don't occasionally have bought to food. Exactly. It's just, I know, I know, I've now learned how to know in my bodies when I'm getting too much and I have to pull back and eat more copper foods because it doesn't mean that you can't, you know ever have an apple. It doesn't mean that you can't ever have, I love juices. And if I'm feeling good and if I've been really, I'll go and have, you know and if I need to pull it back and eat more ground root vegetables, I'll do it. You just learn how to, you know, it's as human beings as living creatures we're constantly in this ebb and flow. And knowledge is power. And so when you have the knowledge when you do have the time where you're breaking away a little bit then you know how to, how to course correct if you need to later on. And I'll say to finding our Evaded Practitioners guys it's kind of like a therapist in a sense where you might go to one and have a consultation and you don't really like that person or they're not resonating with you then go try someone else. It's the, cause they are gonna get very personal with you. They are gonna ask you a lot of questions about your lifestyle. You as a person, as we're saying your faith, your beliefs and that's they, they have to have that information. If you're not comfortable with that person go find another one. I'm sure, especially if you look close to a city there are probably a ton of different our Evaded Doctors that you can choose from. And test them out too to see what works. And they'll tell you too. Another thing is like supplements. I know so many people who take way too many supplements for they just think, Oh, this is a good supplement. I'm gonna take it. That's not true. Some people don't need certain. It depends on your, so the, and the, are you being a doctor will help you with that as well. And you'll constantly, every time it's not just a one, one time and done you're constantly gonna be going in and checking in with this doctor.  There are gonna be things that are happening and they're gonna help you. I'll tell you guys a funny story about, cause in the, or the Western world, we're so like into Western medicine, right? The Eastern stuff is like hokey pokey to us a lot of times, but in India it's the opposite. And there's an Ayurvedic clinic here in Atlanta that I've worked with a lot and done workshops with them a lot. And that we co-hosted events. And the woman who, the main woman, she's from Kerala, India where, where this is kind of the home of Ayurvedic. And she was laughing with me that in Kerala they had to start putting a one medical Western doctor in all the Ayurvedic clinics because people would come in with a literal appendicitis looking for help from like plant medicine. And they'd be like, no, no, no, you got to go to the hospital. They'd be like, no, no, no, just give me some, some supplement. They'd be like, no, no, no, you got to go, you got to go to the hospital. This is not for us. You got to go see a, got to have surgery. And so over in India, they're having to accept more of the Western as well as we're, we're trying to mold that together. So, so yeah, the, a lot of the clinics in India now have one Western doctor there just to make sure that they, they're not ignoring emergency situations. And so when you find a good Ayurvedic practitioner, they're going to have all this into consideration. And it's, it's like, for me, it was super life-changing. And I hope that, you know, Catherine, you and I talk a lot about the vibrational frequency and us working on ourselves to move forward. And a lot of that comes with you really knowing yourself and part of that is dealing with what you eat.  And so this is a good place to start. And I start, I, I did quite a bit of studying with Paul Chek, who's absolutely amazing and loads of other people because all part of my aerology training, my herbal medicine training, it's all taken this, you know, a lot of the chakra system, the meridians, all of those are linked to different types of the day. So you're pulling all this information together and what all of us, you know, we all talk about tuning in with our intuition, but the very first thing is just to really feel, you know, where I would encourage everyone to start, to see whether you could really benefit for some extra help, is to start to really get present and tune in before you eat or drink something and just really start practicing how do I feel? How do I feel energy wise? How do I feel emotionally wise? How do my body do a little body scan down? You know, how do the different areas of my body feel? And then do it afterwards. And there's so much that you can teach yourself about what, you know, what is really serving you and what isn't. And even just doing something that simple, I mean, perhaps another day, but Bryce, we can look at, say, some of the muscle testing and the sway test and things like that. There's all techniques that you can look into, but having fun with it and just really tuning into yourself and asking those questions before and after will really, really help. You just make those little shifts initially, even if it's just something that you want to work on with yourself, honestly, it will transform your lives. It really will. And it's really good fun. And those of you that are parents to two or four-legged children, it's really important to do that with them. So, you know, with your animals as well, you know, what are you noticing with what you're feeding them? What are you noticing in their reactions, et cetera? So we can, the poos, the poos are a great thing. Bryce and I always talk about poos with dogs and things. It's so, so interesting, but have fun with it because knowing yourself, knowing you as an individual is really, really important. And another point that you made, which is so important, any parent, again, of two and four-legged children, you've got to look at each of those as an individual. You really have. So now my lab is 16 and a half. Her nutritional needs are changing. So I'm starting to tweaking her diet differently to my older dog. So these little changes can really transform how you feel physically and emotionally. So I love all of that, Bryce. I think it's so useful. And I hope you guys do too. And if you find some really good ones, share it in the community as well, because there's some brilliant, brilliant practitioners out there. Yeah, yeah, absolutely. And this has worked for thousands of years. So it really has. Have fun with that, everyone. Thanks so much for that, Bryce. It's so, so useful. Of course. Well, we're going to be seeing each other very soon again in front of the room. Very soon again. Quick toilet as well. And then we'll be back with the lovely Liz. So see you soon. Thank you so much for anyone that's watched us. Take care. Bye.


Hello and welcome to this session. Today I will help you with the following question. The question says, if each edge of a cube is doubled, how many times will its surface area increase? Surface area of cube is equal to 6L square where L is the length of a side of cube. This is the key idea for this question. Let's move on to the solution. Let the side of cube be x units then surface area of cube would be equal to 6x square. If we double the side of the cube, the side of cube would be equal to 2x. Now the new surface area would be equal to 6 2x the whole square. This is equal to 6 multiplied by 4x square which is equal to 24x square. Thus we get the new surface area is equal to 24x square. Now the ratio of the areas would be equal to new surface area upon the old surface area. We have the new surface area is 24x square. This becomes equal to 24x square upon the old surface area which is 6x square. So we get 24x square upon 6x square. Now this x square is cancelled with this x square and we know that 6 4 times is 24. So this is equal to 4 upon 1. Thus we say that surface area will increase 4 times. Hence our final answer is 4 times. So hope you enjoyed the session. Have a good day.

Welcome to the next video in the series on conducting art and architecture research. In this video, we will go over some useful reference materials. Reference works such as encyclopedias or dictionaries are a great place to start with many research topics. They provide accurate factual information and authoritative summaries of topics. An important reference source with access to several art encyclopedias and dictionaries is Oxford Art Online. You can access this resource through this research guide or via the database list found on BC Libraries homepage. In Oxford Art Online, you can search for artists and their works, individual buildings, or architectural ensembles. Here, for example, we will start by searching for Pablo Picasso. When searching in Oxford Art Online, very often there will be articles retrieved both from Grove Art Online and Benazit Dictionary of Art. Make sure to check both resources. They are authored by different scholars, often focus on different aspects of a particular topic, and the content does not 100% overlap. Once you have selected an article, you can find article content on the left. Always check bibliographies at the end of each article. They list authoritative scholarly resources on the topic. To find out how to access books or journal articles listed in bibliographies, you will have to click on the Find in the Library button. This will bring you either to the online full text of a book or article, a call number that indicates where to find the title in the library physically, or ILL, an interlibrary loan option, that allows you to request the title from other libraries in case BC does not have it. If you have any questions around your research, Nina Bogdanowski is your subject liaison librarian. Her contact information can be found on this guide. Other librarians are available to answer questions as well at the O'Neill Reference Desk, by appointment, or through 24-7 chat. Next, we will cover how to find books in your art and architecture history research.


Uh-huh. But you know, I learned something during that cigarette shortage. By smoking whatever brand I could get, I learned that there really are differences in cigarettes. I found I liked camels so much. Yes, the experience of smoking whatever brands of cigarettes they could get during that wartime shortage taught millions the differences in cigarette quality. Smoker's T-Zones, that's T for taste and T for throat, tested brand after brand. It was then that camels' rich, full flavor and cool mildness registered so enjoyably with smokers that today more people smoke camels than ever before. Yes, during that wartime shortage, people smoked whatever cigarette they could get. But when they could get and again choose, millions chose camels. Experience is the best teacher. Try a camel. I go to sleep. I never count sheep. I count all the charms about Linda. And lately it seems in all of my dreams I walk with my arms about Linda. But what good does it do me? Fall in the dust, no, I exist. And help feelings glue me. Think of all the loving of me. We pass on the street, the heart skips a beat. I say to myself, hello, Linda. If only she'd smile, I'd stop for a while. And then I would get to know Linda. But miracles still happen. And when my lucky star begins to shine. With one lucky break, I'll make Linda my lucky break. Can it happen to you, Lou? Yes, I can win. You can go off at 20 to 1. He goes off at 20 to 1 at 3 o'clock. He goes off at 3 o'clock. No matter what time he goes off, it'll still be 20 to 1. It'll still be 20 to 1 at 3 o'clock. That's right. The smart thing to do is buy a dope sheet. You can get smart from buying a dope sheet? Certainly, if you have the dope, you're smart. Is that clear? Oh, sure. The horse goes off at 20 to 1 at 3 o'clock. I'll never mind that. Hey, I think that fellow over there is selling tip sheets. Let's ask him. Say, mister, do you sell tips on horses? As Dr. Livingston said to Stanley, you came to the right place. I've got Joe's tip sheet, Henry's tips, Eddie's tips, and Asparagus tip. Asparagus tips, that's for green horse players. Great. He said tip sheet. Is it any good? As the Queen of Sheba said to Solomon, it's wonderful. Forget that. We want a tip sheet that picks losers. Well, if you want to lose, I've got a horse that goes off at 20 to 1. At 3 o'clock? No, 4.30. He'll send to Mr. Hyde, take a powder. Give us a copy of Joe's tip sheet. Fine, there you are. And as young Dr. Malone said to Ma Perkins, that will be $5. Okay. Okay, now I'll be able to pick the horses. Oh, you mean you want to use Joe's tip sheet to pick the horses? Well, in that case, you'll need a copy of Henry's tip sheet. You see, that explains what Joe's tip sheet is all about. How much is that? $10. Okay, I'll take it. Let's go, Abbott. Just a minute, Fatty. Can you read the code in Henry's tip sheet? Oh, sure. I can read... What code? Uh-huh. Which explains the code on Henry's tip sheet, which picks the horses in Joe's tip sheet. That'll be $25. Come on, Castella. We've got to make some bets and lose that money. Nothing to do, Abbott. I can lose all my money right here. Here's $25. Oh, thank you. And as Mrs. Chips said to Mr. Chips, goodbye. Chop them right special from the feed box. What is it? Oats. I am there for you.  Hiya, fellas. Hey, what time is it? 3 o'clock. Good. I've got a horse that goes off to 20 to 1.  Now, just a minute. I'm a straight man. There's a lot of money to lose. Do you know of any slow horses? Well, sure. Play Ash Can in the third. I will. Are you sure Ash Can is a slow horse? Do you see a slow horse? Boys, if Paul revered ridden Ash Can, you'd be doing your baseball routine about cricket. I wonder how it would sound. Come on, Castella. Let's call for the first race. Let's get a bet down. I'm going to play Whirlpool. Here, Mr. 500 on Whirlpool to win. I got the bet down. Just in time, Castella. They're off. I hope Whirlpool doesn't win. Abbott, the only way that horse could win is if he had an outboard motor attached to him. That's more money than never to get rid of. Hey, look, look at that lady's program and see what she's marking.  Pardon me, madam. Could you sort of... Well, if it isn't Mr. Orbot and Mr. Costello, you... You're saying that wrong. Your husband said you had the makings of a great horse. Woman, let's try the old-fashioned method. Stick a pin in Mrs. Wetwash's program and play whatever you pick. Okay, Mrs. Wetwash, may I borrow your hat pin? Yes. Thank you. Now hold up the program. I'll close my eyes and stab it with the hat pin. Costello. Costello, you stuck Mrs. Wetwash with the hat pin. Look, she's jumping the fins. She's out on the track. At the corner, Mission Bell is going to the front. Is he being a second? Hey, just a minute, folks. There's an added starter out there. That's a strange-looking nag, but brother, can she run? Now you get it, Costello. Mrs. Wetwash is running in the race. She'll probably win and pay a lot of money. And the winner is the added st- What she paid? Mrs. Wetwash went off at 20 to 1 and came in at 3 o'clock. How do you like that? For the end. And for Camel fans everywhere, Marilyn Singh, you're seeking rich, full-bodied tobacco flavor for your taste. If you're on the lookout for cool mildness for your throat, why don't you try a camel now on your T-zone? See if you don't say, like millions of other smokers, camels suit my T-zone to a T. 15th, you'll really be in trouble with your income tax. I can't help it, Abbott. Gamble and runs on my family. My uncle Artie Stebbins was a big gambler, too. He once crossed a racehorse with a chicken. He crossed a racehorse with a chicken? What for? So could lay odds. Would you like to buy a sweepstake ticket? They're 50 cents a piece. Oh, sure. Here's $50. Give me a hundred of them. Hey, wait a minute. The price marked on these tickets is $2. How can you afford to sell them so cheap? The race was last year. Now, would you like to take a chance on this punch board? It pays $500 to one. Now, wait a minute. The punch board is all punched out. I know, but where else could you get such beautiful odds? Say, mister, who are you? Now, oh, I've got some business cards in my pocket. Would you mind reaching in and pulling one out? See, my hands are all covered with fingers. That's the whole thing. There's something, something peculiar about this man. Look, he's wearing an iron watch chain and it's six feet long. Oh, that's all right, Abbott. He's got a police dog in his pocket. Pardon me, sir, but what are you doing here at the racetrack? Oh, I own the racehorse, Num Scull. My wife gave him to me for my birthday.  Yeah, she didn't want me to have anything sharp. Your wife must write your jokes, too. You haven't had anything sharp in the last two minutes. Oh, boy. Gentlemen, I've got to go now. I've got to hang up my horse. Hang up your horse? Yes, he's a mustang and he must hang someplace. I'm the guy for the United Nations Conference. Is it elegant? No, it's a problem. Oh, come on, Cassell. Let's take a look at his horse, Num Scull. He may be just the horse to lose your money on. Oh, Stella. Cassell, here's Marilyn Maxwell. Why don't you look pretty, Marilyn? That's a lovely dress you're wearing. Oh, it's just something I threw on. You must have flown a curve. Mmm, you smell good, too. Oh, that's my new racetrack perfume. Chanel, number eight to five. Had fun in the movies last night? Yeah, I thought Ray Malan was wonderful in that picture, California. But I think you have a much better-looking map. Then Ray Malan? No, then California. That daffy guy's horse, Num Scull. Num Scull, this is Marilyn. Cassell, here comes Mrs. Wetwash. This is Num Scull. Num Scull, meet Mrs. Wetwash. I have a horse. You know I love horses. Oh, can't get any men to go out with, huh?  I hope you notice that I won. Yes, I also notice that nobody claims you. Mrs. Wetwash, let's go make a bet on Num Scull. See you later, Lewis. Hey, look, Cassell. There's our pretty little Philly. She cost $3,000. Her name is Minyan. $3,000 for a Philly Minyan? Mushrooms and french-fried potatoes. Look at the next doll, Cassell. There's the mare with a colt. The mare has a colt? Yes. Well, if he's got a colt, why don't somebody give him a handkerchief?  No, no, he doesn't need tablets or handkerchiefs. I'm talking about a colt. That mare has a colt. The trainer will take that colt and teach it to run. They've got to teach a colt to run, naturally. Brother, when I get a colt, it runs all by itself. Ah, don't say that. Look, hey, look, Lowe. Here comes the groom with the horse's bridle. He's getting ready to lead her away by the halter. Havett, stop the wedding. Stop the wedding. Sure, by the time the horse's groom leads the bridle to the halter, that colt will start running and she'll sneeze right in that groom's kisser. Come on, Cassell. That's the post call for the last race. And you've got to bet on a loser to get rid of that money. Remember your income tax, Havett. I'm going to bet it all on Numskull. I've been looking up his form. He's got to lose. What does the form say? Well, it says he was beaten at Santa Anita. He was an also ran at Tanforan. He came home in the dark at Hollywood Park and showed a weakness and a preakness. Don't worry about no income tax. That's it. It's a qualification. Something like that. They busted Gertie's corset. And here is the judge's decision. The officials are putting up Numskull's number. That, Cassell. Numskull's number is up. So is mine. I'll get trashed. Here I come. Number four, camo cigarette. During the war, the makers of camo cigarettes sent a total of more than 150 million free camos to our fighting men overseas. Now free camos are sent to servicemen's hospitals instead. This week, the camos go to Veterans Hospital, Louisville, Kentucky, USAF Station Hospital, Bowling Field, Washington, D.C., U.S. Naval Hospital, Santa Margarita Ranch, Oceanside, California, U.S. Marine Hospital, Mobile, Alabama, and Veterans Hospital, Northport, Long Island, New York. Camel broadcasts go out to the United States three times a week. Our rebroadcasts to practically every area in the world for our men are steel stations and to our good neighbors in Central and South America. And now, back to Bud Abbott and Lou Costello. Well, Costello, you didn't succeed in getting rid of that money, did you? So now, you've got to pay income tax on it. Oh, I don't care, Abbott. I'm a happy guy. I'm always happy in the springtime. Say, that's right, Costello. Next week is the first day of spring. I have an idea. Let's get together next Thursday and plant a nice garden. I'll help you sow the seed. Sowing the seed? Yeah. What's the matter? Is it torn? No, wait a minute. Don't start that. Good night, folks. Good night. Good night. Listen to Amit and Costello next Thursday when Costello plants a spring garden.  If you want to give your pipe real pipe appeal, pack your pipe with Prince Albert. Yes, just see if Prince Albert doesn't make your pipe extra appealing because it combines rich, full-bodied tobacco flavor with cool, tongue-easy mildness. Prince Albert is specially treated to ensure against tongue bite and crimp cut to burn slow and even. So pack your pipe with good PA for pipe appeal. More pipe smoke Prince Albert than any other tobacco. Saturday night here Prince Albert's Grand Ole Opry, the rollicking, foot-tapping fun show that stars Red Foley, singer of American folk songs and his guitar. Don't forget that Saturday night on NBC for Grand Ole Opry with Red Foley, the dukka-pa-dukka and Minnie Pearl. Be sure to tune in next week for another great Amit and Costello show brought to you by Camel Cigarette. And remember, experience is the best teacher. Try a Camel.  A universal international picture, buck privates come home. Michael Roy in Hollywood. Wishing you all a pleasant good night for...


Hi, welcome back. This is Christian. In this video, we're going to look at how you delete a current node between a list of nodes. So we learned how to delete a head node in the tail node in the previous video. This time, how do you remove the node between two nodes? So it's a little bit tricky, but it should not be that difficult. But again, as you do this, you also want to make sure that you can also check to see if the head is indeed the same as the tail. In that case, it would be in a single node. If that's the case, then we have this case before. So let's see how this is done. So the idea is basically we use two pointers. One is to the current node. Again, I showed you before that you can actually complete this in one node too, which is OK. As long as you go in dot next dot next, as opposed to the current node. But this time, I'm going to go and use back to the current node in the previous node and see how that's done. OK, so all I have to do is basically bypass this node to the next node. And then once you bypass that node, this will be collected by the trash collector. So if you don't use it at all, then it'll be removed from memory. So that's the idea. All right, so let's go and see how this is done. So back in here, some beautiful pets, the emojis over here on the right side. Now we're going to remove, for example, let's say, from the rooster from the list. So let's go right on here. And this time, we already have the function to remove the head in the tail. So if we check to see if that is indeed the tail or the tail, then we'll just call this function and take advantage of these two functions. So we have to do it over again. OK, so I mean, we'll see in a minute. So we'll do here, remove. What should we call this one? Remove item. I guess then we find a key and then the item to be removed. So as usual, if self-dehead is equal to none, then nothing to do. Also, for a current node is equal to the self-dehead. And then the previous node is indeed none. And then while the current node is not equal to none, that means we haven't reached the tail yet. Then we go ahead and do the following. So again, right before you forget, update the two nodes. OK, we do the current node. And then the current node is equal to its next node. OK, make sure you do that before you forget. Now up here, so we're going to check the value. If the current node, the item is indeed the key. We found it right. And then we have to check to see if the key is the current node or not. I mean, the head node or not, right? If the head node, then we pass it to the function, remove head. Yeah, remove the head. If it's the tail, then we pass it to the remove tail to handle that. So we don't have to do all this this over again. OK, otherwise, we just do and we insert a removal in between. So we'll say if the current node is equal to the head, if that's the case, then we'll just go to self-remove head. OK, because that is only the item, right? It's the matching one. Else, if the current node is the tail, and we just call it a remove tail. Otherwise, it must be in between. OK, so if it's in between, like for example, the rooster, all we have to do is we're going to remove this node by pointing the previous next pointer to the current next pointer, so we'll bypass the current node. And that's one simple operation. So we'll do previous, that next is assigned to the current node, that next. And that's it. That's all you have to do here. And finally, out of this loop here of the if block, we also want to say size is equal to minus 1. We remove 1. So again, just to return here, we are done. OK, and I think that's it. So let's give it a try. Actually, you know what? I did not use the item here. Yeah, we don't need the item here. We just the keys for it. We're not removing the additional item. We just the key to match the key here. So I'll just notice that we didn't use that one. So let's save it again. And let's try if this thing works. Now I'm going to copy this again one more time. Now this is going really huge now. It's OK. I will do a few print statements down here. So we have a couple of lines, two extra lines. All right, so this time we've got to remove the rooster. So sorry, rooster. I'm going to remove you from the list. So we move item, and the item is going to be the rooster. So that's that one. And then after we've moved the rooster, we go into remove the pig. So it's going to be the last, right? So we've moved the pig as well. Let's remove this here. I'm going to duplicate this, but we'll do three of them. So the rooster is going to be removed. And then we have dog, cat, and pig. So we remove the pig. And then after that, we just have the dog and the cat. So let's move the head, which is the dog. So we copy the dog. And finally, if it's correct, our last list should be just the cat all by itself. All right, so let's put here. Let's put here remove item and cross your fingers. Let's clear the list first. There we go. Boom, oh, error, yay. All right, so remove tail. Did that mean we moved tail? OK, I probably have a typo. I can see it, remove. Where is it? Right here. There we go. I need you to tell me. All right, well, I'm on time. Clear my console. And here we go. OK, so it seems to be successful, right? So here's the remove. We remove the rooster. And then we remove the pig. And we remove the dog. So now we have only just the cat. I mean, it'll be confusing. I apologize, but let's do this. Let's do one at a time, OK? I know it's probably easier that way. I shouldn't. It's hard to see. One more time. One step at a time. So here we go. Is remove the right here, right? Remove the pig first. So now it's no pig. We remove the dog and then no dog, just a cat left. OK, if you do one more time, if you remove that, you know, if you remove one more. So the list is empty. Why not, right? That's so much fun here. OK, so I'm going to move the cat. OK, and then if that is removed, then our list is completely empty at this point, as you can see over here. So we are now done. All right, so you can see that we've done a lot of operations here. We learned how to create a node, you know, add to the end of the list, add to the front, print in order, from reverse using recursion. We search a key. We turn that node to do some operations. Be careful because if you call this key here, you do some manipulation to the current node. You may break the chain because this is a reference type. OK, so be careful with that. We insert a note after a particular key. It's before a key. We did a remove of the head and the tail. And we also did every move an item in between. And that is almost out of the operation. So I hope this is helpful. And let's see if I have any more things to add. All right, so I guess in the next last video, we're going to create two functions to update a list for replacement and also how to search a list using deposition. Instead of the actual image or the item, we can search by index. And of course, by doing that, we can know by the size of the array on the list. So I'll see you in the next video.


So as a leg amputee, I am very accustomed to being stared at in public. It doesn't faze me anymore. Curiosity is part of the human condition. However, quick PSA reminder for anyone out there who might need it, please don't point and stare at people. The pointing thing, tell me that even through a screen, this doesn't make you a little uncomfortable. I don't even like doing it. I was at my gym the other day during like peak work at hours, there were a bunch of gym bros who were all getting their swole on good for them. You know, get pumped. I don't know what gym would go. Group of them from like across the gym were like pointing me, pointing at my leg, talking amongst themselves and then pointing back. And I just want to say that never, that never feels good. Please don't point at people. If you're curious, take a quick look and continue about your day. Cool, PSA over.


Why do doctors recommend not to become a doctor? What happens if you sleep through one of your pages? Do doctors look down on nurses? Alright guys, in today's video we are going to do some rapid fire questions on what it's like to become a doctor. I basically found some of the most commonly asked questions through Google, Reddit, Quora, YouTube and I'm just going to be answering them really quickly and these are questions that have been asked for people in med school, in medicine, and also not out of it. So I hope you guys enjoy and also after watching this video make sure you go ahead and drop your own comments so we can just make this a series. Q&A's are kind of fun. Let's do it really quickly for you. My name is Lakshman. This is the empty journey channel completely dedicated to helping students doing well on their journey to becoming a doctor and whatever else that they may want to pursue. So if you're new here consider subscribing and liking the video but let's get into question number one.  So question number one, what's the worst part of becoming a doctor? I'm gonna try to do this on the top of my head. Definitely one the administrative BS. I hate doing notes because I promise I probably do notes 70% of the time and see my patients 30% so that definitely has to be it and I just get so much back pain from sitting in chairs. If they made standing desk or like beanbag chairs or like somebody to just give me a massage halfway through that'd be amazing but unfortunately that doesn't happen. I would definitely say all the clerical work paperwork that you have to do as a physician to get the patients in out of the door take care of them and definitely getting them home. So question number two, do doctors visit other doctors? Now this is a really good question because you'll probably hear this that doctors are by far the worst patients and my wife if you had to ask her will probably tell you 101% that is absolutely true and there's a few reasons why it's true. One, sometimes we just feel or at least think we know what's going on so if I have back pain I think it's like a muscle thing I don't need to go see a physician because I am one. Two, sometimes it's just a waste of resources personally for me if I already kind of know what the next steps would do. If I already know what the doctor and the clinic is going to do for me then I just don't want to waste the resources if I can do a lot of them myself. So if I need to prescribe myself some medication or have a friend that's a physician do it for me then sometimes that's easier route than me actually having to go see the physician. Now thankfully I'm pretty healthy so I don't actually need very many medications and usually ibuprofen and Tylenol usually do the trick. Next up are doctors over compensated in the United States? That's a pretty interesting question and you know obviously I'm biased because one I've not made a full doctor salary but I will have to say absolutely not. If you actually look at the breakdown of the medical field which seems to be very costly and it is very costly for the United States if you look at the proportion of money that actually ends up going to physicians and healthcare providers comparatively to other things like insurance and administrators the number is actually skewed towards the latter. So if anything doctors actually work many years to become a physician the studying the loans that we have to go through and then the hours that we you know train and do to actually become a physician for example yesterday I did 28 hours straight and so those kinds of things are a little bit ridiculous and I'm still getting paid like an entry level salary for a physician or like a resident. So do I think doctors are over compensated? No. Do I think the medical system needs some refiguring to make sure that the final consumer which is the patient actually has a cheaper experience? Absolutely. What are the top qualities a doctor should possess? Now obviously this is going to be individual preference. Number one has to be you have to be a good listener and you have to be able to grab pieces of information to then be able to help your patients. You will find that especially if patients are storytellers but not like good storytellers what we call a bad historian they will probably talk to you for 20 minutes but then you don't actually get any helpful information to actually make some meaningful impact in their care. You have to be a good listener and realize if the patient is actually telling you something that is going to be able to help how you manage that and if somebody is diverting and they're like just like having a kind of a soliloquy about nothing then you'll be like whoa whoa whoa whoa whoa let's redirect and let me ask you a question in a different way. So quality number one definitely has to be you have to be a good listener and a good redirector. Do you just have to be personal? I think a lot of medicine is about being interactive with patients because you can be a really smart physician that suck at patient care and patient rapport and it's you're just not going to look like a good physician your patients are going to enjoy you and even small things are going to become a big deal but if you are a good people person if you're good at social skills and interacting with people you can usually build the skills of learning medicine or finding the answers to questions you don't know and still being able to take care of your patients. So definitely active listening building rapport with your patients and number three is really pattern recognition all of medicine is basically being able to see something once and then using it in a different kind of experience different situation so if you take care of a patient with a fever kind of knowing the few things that you considered the few things you missed and then being able to apply the things that you missed to a future patient then eventually when you take care of hundreds and thousands of patients over the span of your career you just have so much experience and pattern recognition to be able to give them adequate care. Do doctors look down on nurses? So this is a really interesting question and I have seen a little bit of both on both sides. I have seen physicians who have unfortunately haven't treated the nurses adequately haven't treated the nurses to the quality that they deserve because honestly guys I love my nurses they do so much extraneous work they're at the patient's bedside 24-7 and honestly sometimes they know more about the patients than I do and actually well almost always do they know more about the patients than I do and there's such an essential role and key player in the care of that patient so for any time that I see you know either myself kind of not interact with a nurse in a proper way or if I see any of my peers I just don't feel good and I feel like you have to have that camaraderie with your nurses your physical therapist your occupational therapist and anyone who's involved in the patient care because as a physician while you may be the leader in the care of that patient there are so many other people who are essential to make sure that one you have good communication with them and two they're going to be essential of communicating back whatever is going on with that patient so do doctors look down on nurses? Personally I don't because there are things that the nurses do that I just absolutely suck at if you try to have me put an IV versus nurse, nurse wins 100% of the time. If you have the nurses kind of recommend different things to make the patient more comfortable especially being a resident right now the nurses win 100% of the time so the training that a nurse gets the experience that they have sometimes I rely on them a lot and they've saved my butt so many times so I'm super grateful for them but have I had experiences where I've seen colleagues or other physicians kind of look down upon nurses or speak down upon them absolutely and I don't think that should happen but sometimes I find that in the heat of taking care of a patient the physician will sometimes forget about the feelings of the people in between that and obviously that's not the right thing to do. Do doctors regret becoming doctors? Now this question is really going to be dependent on what your ultimate reason of becoming a physician is obviously if you're going to go for financial reasons you're going to be depressed you're going to hate the job because you're going to be forget the money that you make as a physician pretty quickly just because you're going to be spending so many hours and if you're not interested in medicine or in science or taking care of people it's not going to be worth regardless of how many hundreds of thousands of dollars you make or if you go into the field because you want that social stature for people to respect you or because family has pressured you to go into medicine all of those are inappropriate reasons and those are the people who I find who regret becoming a physician because they've gone through so many years every year you go through it is going to be a little bit harder to change paths obviously if you go into med school it's hard to drop out because of all the loans if you get into residency then it becomes even harder to say you know no thanks I don't want to become a physician because you've gone through med school you paid the loan and the further you get into your medical journey like residency and becoming attending it's even harder to step away but on the flip side if you go into medicine to take care of people to scratch your own itch of curiosity making a change doing research whatever it may be I personally love the interactions that I have with people that are sick and then being able to see the difference it makes in both their lives when they go home as well as their lives of everyone who's dependent on them those are like my biggest reasons of going into medicine those things always kind of have echoed through all my experiences and so do I regret being a physician at this point no and all the hard work I've done to this point is absolutely worth the next question is what is it like being a doctor now this is obviously a very broad umbrella question but I'll give you a little bit of both my schedule as well as kind of what I do on a day to day now it depends on if I'm working in a clinic or if I'm working in the hospital but a lot of my rotations right now as a resident is in the hospital so a lot of days I'll be going to the hospital around 5 30 to 7 o'clock and I'll be finishing anywhere from 3 to 5 but there are days where I stay overnight and I am admitting patients for my own team and I get to leave the next day at 11 so those are like 28 hour shifts and then throughout the day I'm doing a variety of tasks though in the early parts of the day I'm usually seeing old patients I'm seeing what their vitals look like if I left for the day I'm looking what their labs and their blood work has been like I'm looking at what their imaging is doing and then what I do throughout the day really varies so at the start of the day I really look at my old patients and look at their lab work what are their vitals make sure everything that we did from the day before is actually helping them and making sure that they're not going in the wrong direction and in the early parts of the day before noon I'm just making changes with my supervising attendings and the rest in the morning before noon we're making sure that I'm seeing all the patients with my supervising attendings and the rest of my team members um and then they give any recommendations that the patient would need for their care the rest is afternoon the day would be spending carrying out whatever plan whether it be kind of a procedure on a patient or calling a consultant and making sure that they give me their recommendations if a patient has something that I feel is a little bit over my head um and then making sure that everyone is kind of tucked in before I leave for the next question is how many patients do you take care of now me personally when I'm on a rotation inside the hospital it can usually be anywhere from 10 to 15 um the earlier you start in residency you typically take care of less people so last year I would take care about eight people at a time and then I would have another person who's also a first year resident so we would together take care of eight people and then I would have a supervising resident which is now my role now would oversee all of the patients both of us take care of and so now it's very common for me to oversee a team of like 12 patients admit new patients discharge them and kind of know what's going on with all of them and then when I'm working in clinic with my own personal primary care patients I usually see about four to five in the morning and four to five in the afternoon so next question is pretty interesting because I always worried about this before starting residency and the question is what happens if you sleep through one of your pages now thankfully this hasn't happened to me but sometimes you do run in situations where you get three to four pages at once and you're flipping through them and you may miss one or you're looking at a page you notice it you acknowledge it but then you're going through something that's more emergent maybe a patient is crashing or not doing so well and so you tell yourself I'm going to call this page back as soon as I'm done with this but sometimes you forget but usually what happens is if you do forget to call that page back or if you do sleep through a page they'll usually just page you again and pages have a tendency of being very loud I try to keep mine on vibrate because I can usually do a good job feeling that vibration but other people will turn it up to the max volume and it's super super annoying so in this episode with two more questions and the next one is going to be why do doctors recommend not to become a doctor now this is a really good question and it kind of reminds me of when you ask a player who played football if they would let their kids also play football and a lot of times you find that people will say no because they've gone through the brutality of football and in a similar way you have a doctor who will say you know I don't know if I would actually tell all my kids to pursue medicine and here's the caveat the thing is is that usually people who go through medicine go through the track kind of continuously they go through college they go through med school they go through residency so every phase is hard every phase is long and we really don't know different but the delayed gratification a lot of times there's a little bit of regret when we realize that the job isn't completely the way we hoped it would be you know if you work 12 years for a career you would hope that it was everything you wanted and more but sometimes when we go through things like writing notes and administrative tasks they usually kind of can get in your way of enjoying the job so when you take the years of training it took for you to becoming a physician to the not so ideal kind of job compared to what you wished it was sometimes people say you know maybe I would have done something else and that's completely reasonable now personally I'm at the latter end of my training and only two years away into my full fledged physician without any supervision but if I had to ask myself would I do it again it is tricky to say yeah I would but that's also because I'm thinking about all the years of training I'd have to do again but I really enjoy the job so probably yeah I would recommend doing it but the physicians who probably wouldn't recommend doing it again probably have a huge discrepancy of what they wish their career looked like to what it probably looks like to them last question for that episode what did you dread the most during med school I have to say it's this experience of feeling like I'm always being evaluated during your first two years of medical school you have grade and test after test and it feels like regardless of how you did on your past 10 tests the next one is the most important then you have board exams where you're compared to your peers for residency spots and specialties and then you have clinical rotations where you have to not only make the grades but also stand out on how you present patients how you take care of patients and a lot of those make sense because you obviously have to be able to compare what a good student and a good future doctor will look like but that process of going through four years would have felt like almost constantly being evaluated every step of the way that gets really cumbersome really burdensome and it really just makes you dislike every aspect of med school but again when you take a step back and you realize that yes evaluations are part of med school they're not enjoyable there's still a lot of other elements of medicine being on the medical journey that are enjoyable and make it worth it but that guys summarized it for this video on what it's like to becoming a
