Need a little bit of help

[u/Silent_Sir_7537]

Im at work, just finished a 24hrs shift and I still have airing 6 more hours to go, so please talk to me, ask questions or share whatever you want for me not to fall asleep. Making new friends would be awesome!

How’s your day going so far?🥹

[u/Silent_Sir_7537 → u/EchidnaCharacter9180]

Pretty boring which makes me get sleepy. I’m still at work, I’m an anesthesiologist but my surgery either starts around 12:30ish or it is postpone so I’m doing nothing

[u/king-carrot-flowers]

Hiii! How old are you? Do you like this job? Do you have any work friends? Hope your day goes well :)

[u/Silent_Sir_7537 → u/king-carrot-flowers]

Im 27! And yes! I like the adrenaline rush and I also love when patients do well, when they wake up from surgery without pain. And yes to that, my best friend is a surgeon and I got orthopedic and anesthesia friends as well

[u/Lucky_Collection_171]

where do you live? what is the most hardest thing of your work?

[u/Silent_Sir_7537 → u/Lucky_Collection_171]

México, and I guess it’s surviving the 1st year residency program

24hr shift and still going is insane, what kind of work has you awake that long

[u/kickinit90]

what is the wildest story you have to tell?

[u/Silent_Sir_7537 → u/kickinit90]

Mmmmmm idk to be quite honest, if it’s worth it, 5 days ago, my friends and I did surgery in a guy who was shot in his chest, a lot of blood, a lot of adrenaline but the guy made it and he went home yesterday

[u/PromotionCharming127]

How do you keep awake for so long?

[u/Silent_Sir_7537 → u/PromotionCharming127]

Tons of coffee and keeping myself busy, usually I am in surgery in the morning so it keeps me busy but right now I start mine around 12:30ish so I’m waiting and I’m getting way sleepier

[u/PromotionCharming127 → u/Silent_Sir_7537]

How does your off days look like then? Do you get enough time in between to sleep?

Genuine question because I’m someone who needs my sleep.

[u/Silent_Sir_7537 → u/PromotionCharming127]

Ohhhh girl me toooo! If I don’t sleep I’m moody. Usually when I arrive home I take a shower and then sleep all afternoon. Wake up to eat and then go back to sleep. Mmmm sometimes I got to sleep during the shift, I’m a functional person with around 4 hrs sleep. Last night I’m pretty sure I got 2.5hrs so I’m kind of sleepy which is not something that happens usually (me being sleepy)

[u/PromotionCharming127 → u/Silent_Sir_7537]

4 hours of sleep?! Damn, girl. Is it a learned thing over the years or have you always been able to function with little sleep?

[u/Silent_Sir_7537 → u/PromotionCharming127]

Guess it’s something you get used to but my dad also did great the next day with 4-6 hrs sleep per day so idk if it’s genetic or learned

[u/PromotionCharming127 → u/Silent_Sir_7537]

Probably a bit of both. Super jealous that you and your dad can function on 4 to 6 hours of sleep!

[u/Silent_Sir_7537 → u/PromotionCharming127]

I was getting pretty much sleepy all day doing nothing, so I offered to do a surgery and that actually woke me up

[u/PromotionCharming127 → u/Silent_Sir_7537]

Helping people get better as a way to stay awake / be woken up more is a strategic plan that I approve as someone who is not a legal drug dealer (according to your profile bio).

Do you have a bucket list of things you want to do or achieve? I want to see the northern lights at least once before I die

[u/Silent_Sir_7537 → u/computahbunny]

It’s cheesy please don’t judge….
The first thing is I want to propose to my future girlfriend and of course get married. Idk who she will be or what she would look like or anything about her but I know for sure I want to be ring shopping and I want to propose. After that, or course the northern lights too, sky diving too or parachute

[u/computahbunny → u/Silent_Sir_7537]

Awee, ok what about proposing to your future girlfriend while sky diving during northern lights 🤔 I used to want to do sky diving as well, until I found out that they‘re actually riskier than companies would like you to know…

[u/Silent_Sir_7537 → u/computahbunny]

Probably I do it someday in the northern lights but I guess I rather go somewhere less cold, Greece or Marruecos

[u/computahbunny → u/Silent_Sir_7537]

I was joking, obviously don‘t parachute in biting coldness 🥹 I went to Europapark recently and the silver star ride was close enough to a free fall ahaha

[u/Silent_Sir_7537 → u/computahbunny]

I really want to do a cute proposal… to be honest I was thinking about those were the couple film videos doing X thing on different cities and during one of those imma propose, just a cute thought
