I Got Sick for 5 Days… and It Made Me a Better ER Doctor

In residency (especially EM), you’re constantly balancing competing priorities: the patient, the nurse, the attending, the department flow, and administration. This video is about one simple principle that quietly upgrades everything: seeing from another person’s perspective — the Golden Rule, applied in real life. Last month I got knocked out by an illness and was basically bed-ridden for days. It gave me an uncomfortable but powerful reminder of what it actually feels like to be a patient: weak, dizzy, unsure, and just trying to get through the next moment. And it changed how I communicate in the ED. Then I noticed the same exact skill shows up in a totally different world: salsa. Great leads don’t “do moves” — they read the follow, adapt in seconds, and make the dance feel safe and fun. Same concept, different arena. Also: quick real talk on hydration + electrolytes after heavy sweating (because water alone isn’t always enough when you’ve lost a lot of salt). Listen to your body. If you’re a med student, resident, nurse, new attending, or just trying to be better with people—this one’s for you.
