It's the 4th wave of the COVID-19 pandemic in Canada. Join me for a night shift in the intensive care unit and see what a day in the life of a doctor is like. You'll learn all about life threatening alcohol withdrawal and how central lines are inserted into ICU patients.

Huge thank you to the ICU team for participating in this video! Special thank you to Frank (ER resident) and Lhara (ICU nurse)!!

If you are struggling with substance use, including alcohol, please reach out to your doctor to learn about local resources. You aren't alone and it's never too late to ask for help!
