73 Questions with a Trauma Surgeon | ND MD

I love how he talks about the 90's TV series "ER". One of my favorite shows of all time 😊 highly recommend watching! Great depiction of healthcare as a whole (best on the actual medicine - but not perfectly accurate, excellent on the social/societal aspects of healthcare and was very progressive for its time)

I loved this . Excellent

What a great man! Thank you!

How are you gonna make the poor man stand in the doorway for almost 20 min answering your questions? 🤣

i'm female and want to go into trauma surgery😀

Dr. O'Keeffe listens to trance music in the OR!! I never thought i would hear a surgeon say they like to listen to trance while operating! He my new favorite Dr.!

brooooooo, he listens to edm trance music in the OR 🫶🏻🫶🏻🫶🏻🫶🏻

Wow

Great Q&A, very informative.

Despite what he says, trauma surgery is useful for things other than gunshot and automobile accidents. I certainly benefitted from it in my case.

How often have you found yourself aroused by a trauma patient lying in front of you? C'mon Doc, be honest.

He is right in saying that Oncology is brutal. My daughter loses most of her patients, sadly. I was worried it would destroy her mentally, but she uses it to drive her. The first patient she really got close to and lost was incredibly painful. She was desperate to help her. They say you only die when people don't remember you any longer, we still remember her and use her fantastic recipes often.

As long as society's a mess, medical professionals have jobs.

Perhaps pressure wounds have nothing to do with fortune and everything to do with human choices..........

These are so helpful! Thank you! Why 73 questions specifically?

English accent is sooooo beautiful. No offense to other other accents.

hes so handsome

Explains why severe injuries are more likely to be a death sentence in the UK.

This is great ,one of the best interviews

Great, now I wanna be a trauma surgeon.

🤣🤣🤣 we don't have guns and we drive better 🤣🤣🤣 class act

Loved when he talked about his wife’s perspective on his work. As women going into the medical field who would still love children, that’s important to take into consideration.

Love the way he speaks. perfect command over his voice and the english langage.

People like this man are THE REAL HEROES in our society. Not LeBron or Brady. These are the TRUE heroes!

I want to borrow his brain lol 🧠

Trauma surgeons saved my life. My previous RN education made it possible to make it to the trauma center alive. I suffered a L flail chest following a crush injury. Not letting anyone manipulate my left arm or lift me off the road prevented lung puncture at the scene. This allowed me to be stabilized & 3D reconstruction to take place before surgery. The night before the scheduled thoracotomy, an aide managed to puncture my lung by careless transfer technique. I got a couple hours extra ventilator time out of it & a piece of bovine pericardium to repair the lung out of it. Ribs 2-7 w/ multiple fractures, 7 years ago. I broke the titanium plate on rib 6 the first year which would be tricky to replace so we've left it alone. Chest reconstruction hurts forever but beats the alternative!

I like these interviews! You can tell by the way he permitted himself a smile when he thought about people sawing off the fence post that he is in the right job. I'd HATE to have to look at that and at least a part of him thinks that that's a cool surgical case. Also liked the way he spoke about his wife. Having a good supportive partner is a huge asset in a stressful job. Liked the honest and insightful answers.

I was wondering why this video specifically was on my recommended then he said “I studied at Edinburgh” and I thought ah that’s why… It’s my first day at Edinburgh medical school.

Extraordinarie congratulations for this work 73 questions with real awesome people

Being a surgeon was what I had always wanted to do as a career from the time I was younger, even to this very day I wish it could have happened. Though I have always had comprehension issues when studying with reading, though hands-on I immediately understand, so It was something I realized it was something I should not pursue. Just because we desire and hope to have a certain career, doesn't mean we actually can.

As a New Hampshirite, I feel personally attacked 🤣 no seatbelt or helmet laws here. Maybe that’s why we’re tied for highest IQ in the country? 😅 lol

i go to Edinburgh Medical School (in my final year) so this felt surreal to watch!

I thought the UK would have more trauma than Australia?

Thanks for loading this ..so interesting and what a lovely humble man . Great he is doing his job choice 😅 as he has the right personable skills ..

Salute. To you Dr. ☺️

The helmet law has to do with the question "Would you like to be a quadraplegic and be fully conscious?".

His ADHD kicked in when he was talking about personal freedom and balance, having his extra degree in injury prevention…he forgot the question ❤️🤗I love it…I love being surrounded by amazing people like him, I just learn so much. I have adhd combined myself and I’m a future CRNA❤️💪🏼🫶🏻🙏🏼 Ty for what you do and Ty for sharing

His wife is from Brazillll aaaaaaaaaaaa my country was mentioned! Hahahaha How nice, he likes it here awww

This video should be titled if superheroes were everyday humans

I shadowed him my senior year in high school at the UofA for a project and got to watch him work and operate and he was a gracious host and great teacher.

👏 well done. Good work

the accent just makes it better lol
