yeah but I feel like everyone knows
about Pediatrics gynecology
obstetricians maybe hey you keep talking
about these obscure specialties that
I've never heard of Oh like what I was
talking about like Rheumatology and like
neurology hematology okay a little bit
different but like I promise you there
are a bunch of medical specialties you
actually know that you don't even think
about I didn't know if I know any of no
I promise Cato and CC boot if we went
through them you would actually you know
okay let's do it yeah okay but I do my
toes
hey guys I'm Siobhan a first year
medical resident and today I'm joined
with my cousin Alex hey there and this
is my cousin Alec when she's joining me
today
hey guys I'm Siobhan a first-year
medical resident and this is my cousin
Alex who is joining me today hi hahaha
okay so in terms of these specialties
see how me that you could get at home I
mean you know and let you know in the
comments below
can we start with one that's easy yeah
yeah okay um okay so what is a
cardiologist oh that's easy
cardio has to do with your heart heart
doctor absolutely neurologist oh that
has to do with the neurons in your brain
yeah exactly so yeah like a lot of brain
doctors they just do those like cool new
G's and they stick things on your head
and I see the brainwaves crazy now yes
totally oh but you know what is he's a
neurosurgeon same difference
no okay we work really closely together
but a neurosurgeon isn't me somebody
goes in and actually operates but a
neurologist is not gonna operate so
that's kind of different they both work
with the brain so how about cardiac
electrophysiology hey cardiac something
to do with the heart and then electro
has to do with electrons maybe
electricity so something electricity
pulsing through the heart
that's like nappy it's actually really
good so it's um a specialty that looks
at arrhythmias when your hearts doing
like funny rhythms and oftentimes that's
caused by a weird pathway that the
electricity in your heart can go and
these cardiologists can actually go in
and they can go in and burn part of that
weird
so they need the pathway go away and
then your heart is able to have its
normal rhythm okay so nephrology what
about that nephron nematode worms in
your body okay okay I see where you're
going there it's actually nephrology
it's from like the little nephrons
obviously yeah so it's actually yeah a
kidney doctor okay so how about urology
your yeah and your pee
yeah absolutely yeah it's like a dog for
the deals with the urinary system so
everything really from the kidneys down
I was right okay what about
Otolaryngology auto learn something in
your larynx automatic layering okay yeah
yeah yeah that's like perfect
no I've totally bad strategy no no it's
good so another term for this type of
doctor is ent which is an ear nose
throat doctor well if he said ear nose
throat doctor what about radiation
oncologist a radiation calling :
radiation on the : jb told you would do
that sometimes but you know what
oncology specialty is no idea so that
actually the the specialty of cancers
and dealing with cancers so these are
doctors I feel like people never know
about radiation oncologist and it's an
actually a really cool career I didn't
know about until I got into med school
and they give radiation as a treatment
for cancer so big your coats cuz if it
was colon cancer BP lady in the colon
see what I mean I'm really already okay
what about orthopedic surgeon orthopedic
peace defeat oh yeah well there are
bones in the feet and an orthopedic
surgeon deals with bones and broken
bones
so yeah more than just the feet though
all the boss yeah all right what about
interventional cardiology um well
cardiology has to do with the heart and
then intervene II before something
happens with the heart perhaps yeah or
after something happens so like with our
papa and how he got that stent in in his
heart and it saved his life right like
he's been alive now ten years after
having a heart attack because a
cardiologist got in there and opened up
his artery yeah I know I'm so grateful
it's amazing
okay let's get a little bit harder what
about and what about an endocrinologist
endocrinologist I'm in a spelling bee um
something to do with Crenn cringy cringy
things at the end of the surgery
oh but like close try I like the
creativity and no chronologist deals we
did all the hormones in your body it
could be like all sorts of different
things but so much as one by hormones
that you're crazy so what about an
anesthesiologist oh that's when they
kiss you anesthetics um keeps you under
in the surgery perfect so what would be
a Pato biliary surgeon a surgeon for
billionaires with okay yeah so like the
bile duct biliary so like liver bile
ducts and they like will operate and
take out part of the liver they do the
like crazy eight-hour surgery's ten
hours yeah what about emergency doctors
well in the merge room whoever comes in
they take care of that yeah exactly
so emergency doctors they're the first
ones that you're gonna see in the
emergency department so what about a
psychiatrist
um someone who gives medications for the
brain it's a little bit different than
you say
just yeah exactly so someone who's
dealing with mental health conditions
and they can prescribe as opposed to
psychologists that don't prescribe wow I
didn't know there were so many different
subspecialties

school either so let us know in the
