Wake Up Call (The Reboot)

76. #femDR Series: ER Doctor Siri "Hey Siri" Chamarti, MD

Listen Later

If you ever find yourself in the ER up in NYC, I hope you get to meet Dr. Siri Chamarti, MD.  She's cool, she's smart and she's got "MD" after her name.  She is also an Instagram sensation with 20K+ followers at last count.  She's a foodie, world traveler and has mad ultrasound trivia skills, and she's totally non-judgmental if you get foreign objects lost in your body.  (More on that later).  

**(Note this interview was recorded in January 2021.  COVID-19 information may have been updated since then).**

Included in this conversation:

  • Reality of being an ER doctor
  • What the ER really has to do for you
  • Typical kind of patients ER docs see
  • Is the TV portrayal of doctors accurate?
  • How COVID-19 changed things
  • Health insurance issues ER docs encounter
  • Misconceptions about Emergency Medicine practice
  • Real life examples of ER cases 
  • That time Dr. Siri had to drain a prolonged erection
  • Losing foreign objects in your body and other ER oddities 
  • What is the ER doc REALLY thinking about you?
  • For my lawyer friends: Do doctors really have to be good at math?
  • "Disaster Medicine"
  •  Vaccine hesitancy 
  • COVID risks vs. Vaccine risks
  • The one job every aspiring doctor should have 

    • Don't end up in the ER just to meet Dr. Siri. Follow her on Instagram instead @heysirimd
