00:02:54.640 --> 00:02:58.720 align:center line:-1 position:50% size:43% Sarah: So my mom remembers when I was about five years old, 00:02:59.680 --> 00:03:05.040 align:center line:-1 position:50% size:46% for Halloween I wanted to become bones, a skeleton for Halloween. 00:03:05.560 --> 00:03:12.040 align:center line:-1 position:50% size:52% So after that, she noticed that I had a really keen interest in the human body, 00:03:12.040 --> 00:03:16.440 align:center line:-1 position:50% size:43% and she bought me this book that's all about the human body. 00:03:17.200 --> 00:03:26.240 align:center line:-1 position:50% size:64% Ever since then I was just really interested in how the body works and why people got sick. 00:03:26.240 --> 00:03:28.960 align:center line:-1 position:50% size:43% Michael: What was that like going to University of Michigan? 00:03:29.800 --> 00:03:34.600 align:center line:-1 position:50% size:57% Sarah: I would say that the University of Michigan was a very unique experience. 00:03:34.600 --> 00:03:41.080 align:center line:-1 position:50% size:45% It's a very big school and it's easy to feel lost in that big school. 00:03:41.080 --> 00:03:47.800 align:center line:-1 position:50% size:65% But my advisor at the University of Michigan had a group of deaf and hard of hearing students, 00:03:47.800 --> 00:03:53.760 align:center line:-1 position:50% size:49% so I became part of a little group and we had meetings once a month. 00:03:54.360 --> 00:04:00.520 align:center line:-1 position:50% size:54% We went out to dinner, we hung out, we networked, we supported each other, 00:04:00.520 --> 00:04:05.000 align:center line:-1 position:50% size:56% and that's when I learned sign language, and I learned more about the deaf culture, 00:04:05.000 --> 00:04:07.720 align:center line:-1 position:50% size:34% and that there were more people like me out there. 00:04:08.520 --> 00:04:14.640 align:center line:-1 position:50% size:54% So I think finding that support group within a big university is really important. 00:04:18.080 --> 00:04:20.080 align:center line:-1 position:50% size:41% Michael: What has maintained your interest? 00:04:20.080 --> 00:04:26.600 align:center line:-1 position:50% size:55% Because it takes a lot to go to undergrad, and then you went to grad school, 00:04:26.600 --> 00:04:31.040 align:center line:-1 position:50% size:54% and then you said you got into clinical research but you said it was not for you. 00:04:31.640 --> 00:04:37.440 align:center line:-1 position:50% size:48% How did you maintain continuing to study, continuing your commitment? 00:04:38.720 --> 00:04:43.680 align:center line:-1 position:50% size:49% Sarah: I thought that I was going into medicine by going into research 00:04:43.680 --> 00:04:50.560 align:center line:-1 position:50% size:52% because I thought, "Oh I can contribute to the medical field by doing research 00:04:50.560 --> 00:04:54.080 align:center line:-1 position:50% size:34% to help the doctors so the patients would be better." 00:04:54.080 --> 00:04:57.240 align:center line:-1 position:50% size:27% So I tried that and it just wasn't my thing. 00:04:57.840 --> 00:05:03.280 align:center line:-1 position:50% size:44% I didn't feel it in my gut and I wasn't really passionate about it, 00:05:03.280 --> 00:05:08.720 align:center line:-1 position:50% size:51% so I decided to shadow some doctors and I shadowed some nurses, 00:05:08.720 --> 00:05:15.120 align:center line:-1 position:50% size:56% and I just remember the first couple times I shadowed I just felt awesome about it. 00:05:15.120 --> 00:05:18.200 align:center line:-1 position:50% size:35% I knew I was home and that's what I wanted to do. 00:05:19.040 --> 00:05:23.080 align:center line:-1 position:50% size:45% So I would say that if you're very passionate about something, 00:05:23.080 --> 00:05:25.960 align:center line:-1 position:50% size:41% and you know it's something that you want to do, 00:05:25.960 --> 00:05:30.560 align:center line:-1 position:50% size:57% just be patient because sometimes it takes a little longer to get where you want to go. 00:05:31.920 --> 00:05:35.960 align:center line:-1 position:50% size:49% There's an organization called Association of Medical Professionals 00:05:35.960 --> 00:05:38.400 align:center line:-1 position:50% size:41% with Hearing Loss, or AMPHL. 00:05:38.800 --> 00:05:44.800 align:center line:-1 position:50% size:52% I found out about it probably a year before I was going to graduate college, 00:05:44.800 --> 00:05:46.600 align:center line:-1 position:50% size:37% and I went to a conference. 00:05:46.600 --> 00:05:49.760 align:center line:-1 position:50% size:40% There were so many deaf and hard of hearing people there, 00:05:49.760 --> 00:05:53.920 align:center line:-1 position:50% size:50% they were signing, they were talking, they were doctors, they were nurses, 00:05:53.920 --> 00:06:00.080 align:center line:-1 position:50% size:27% they were vet techs, they were PA, NP. 00:06:00.080 --> 00:06:05.720 align:center line:-1 position:50% size:51% I was just awestruck by this, and ever since then I've made connections 00:06:05.720 --> 00:06:11.360 align:center line:-1 position:50% size:59% with people from that organization, I've even been on the board of that organization. 00:06:11.880 --> 00:06:16.640 align:center line:-1 position:50% size:58% And two doctors at University of Michigan that are hard of hearing and deaf, 00:06:16.640 --> 00:06:18.800 align:center line:-1 position:50% size:31% and they mentored me. 00:06:18.800 --> 00:06:23.800 align:center line:-1 position:50% size:54% They're both in family medicine and they mentored me in this whole process, 00:06:23.800 --> 00:06:26.040 align:center line:-1 position:50% size:24% so that was really helpful as well. 00:06:26.040 --> 00:06:29.600 align:center line:-1 position:50% size:43% And I couldn't have done this without the support of my family. 00:06:30.480 --> 00:06:33.480 align:center line:-1 position:50% size:34% My family has been there every step of the way, 00:06:34.400 --> 00:06:37.280 align:center line:-1 position:50% size:33% even though my parents and my sister hear 00:06:37.760 --> 00:06:41.200 align:center line:-1 position:50% size:41% and they might not understand all the challenges that I face, 00:06:41.200 --> 00:06:47.160 align:center line:-1 position:50% size:68% they were there for me and they listen to my stories, they listen to me vent, they give me advice. 00:06:47.760 --> 00:06:51.560 align:center line:-1 position:50% size:43% And then I still have a bunch of deaf and hard of hearing friends 00:06:51.560 --> 00:06:55.520 align:center line:-1 position:50% size:44% that are not in medicine and they've been very helpful as well. 00:06:55.520 --> 00:06:59.240 align:center line:-1 position:50% size:42% So I think what I'm trying to say is you have to find your tribe. 00:07:00.200 --> 00:07:04.120 align:center line:-1 position:50% size:41% If you find your tribe then you have all the support you need. 00:07:12.880 --> 00:07:16.080 align:center line:-1 position:50% size:32% Michael: And I saw your badge, your RN badge, 00:07:16.080 --> 00:07:20.360 align:center line:-1 position:50% size:35% so could you tell us a little bit about your current job, 00:07:20.360 --> 00:07:24.040 align:center line:-1 position:50% size:38% what your duties are and what your kind of everyday... 00:07:25.680 --> 00:07:28.040 align:center line:-1 position:50% size:39% your average day looks like?

00:10:53.600 --> 00:10:59.200 align:center line:-1 position:50% size:47% Sarah: Sure. I'll probably talk about my first experience with code blue, 00:10:59.800 --> 00:11:03.800 align:center line:-1 position:50% size:38% it was probably in my first six months of being a nurse. 00:11:05.480 --> 00:11:08.800 align:center line:-1 position:50% size:34% We had a code blue when the COVID started, 00:11:08.800 --> 00:11:12.640 align:center line:-1 position:50% size:38% and all the nurses decided I was going to be the scribe. 00:11:13.040 --> 00:11:16.320 align:center line:-1 position:50% size:36% So the scribe is the person that has to take the notes, 00:11:16.320 --> 00:11:20.120 align:center line:-1 position:50% size:46% so you have to listen to everything that's happening in the room. 00:11:20.120 --> 00:11:23.800 align:center line:-1 position:50% size:51% You can have 20 different people in the room shouting out different things, 00:11:24.520 --> 00:11:26.560 align:center line:-1 position:50% size:27% and they wanted me to be the scribe. 00:11:26.560 --> 00:11:29.840 align:center line:-1 position:50% size:39% I was like, "Me? I can't hear." 00:11:31.000 --> 00:11:34.440 align:center line:-1 position:50% size:28% So I had to pass it on to someone else. 00:11:34.440 --> 00:11:39.160 align:center line:-1 position:50% size:42% Usually in the code blue I'm the one that likes to grab supplies 00:11:39.160 --> 00:11:47.800 align:center line:-1 position:50% size:58% and I like to get the medications and I try to direct traffic, so I like to tell the doctor... 00:11:47.800 --> 00:11:51.800 align:center line:-1 position:50% size:30% Look, code blue is not what you see on TV. 00:11:52.760 --> 00:11:54.200 align:center line:-1 position:50% size:25% It comes in waves. 00:11:54.200 --> 00:11:58.040 align:center line:-1 position:50% size:38% So usually the nurses respond first to a code blue, 00:11:58.040 --> 00:12:00.680 align:center line:-1 position:50% size:32% so we'll go in the room and we'll start the code. 00:12:01.120 --> 00:12:05.000 align:center line:-1 position:50% size:46% Then we start getting all the doctors, the respiratory therapists, 00:12:05.000 --> 00:12:07.840 align:center line:-1 position:50% size:33% so we have all these people coming in waves. 00:12:07.840 --> 00:12:10.560 align:center line:-1 position:50% size:33% So what I like to do is, as these people come in 00:12:10.560 --> 00:12:14.480 align:center line:-1 position:50% size:44% I give them kind of a report so that they know what's happening 00:12:14.480 --> 00:12:17.760 align:center line:-1 position:50% size:35% and they can jump in, and they really appreciate that 00:12:17.760 --> 00:12:21.600 align:center line:-1 position:50% size:51% because you don't want to jump into a code and not know what's going on. 00:12:23.000 --> 00:12:28.280 align:center line:-1 position:50% size:42% I'm also very big on advocating for myself so I make sure 00:12:28.280 --> 00:12:34.320 align:center line:-1 position:50% size:50% that my boss knows what I need, and let my coworkers know what I need. 00:12:34.320 --> 00:12:39.360 align:center line:-1 position:50% size:51% So I tell them, "You need to look at me, you need to let me read your lips, 00:12:39.360 --> 00:12:41.080 align:center line:-1 position:50% size:24% you need to wear the clear masks." 00:12:41.640 --> 00:12:43.800 align:center line:-1 position:50% size:45% So I made sure that people know. 00:12:44.800 --> 00:12:50.040 align:center line:-1 position:50% size:44% I do use interpreters when we have a big nursing meetings. 00:12:50.040 --> 00:12:54.000 align:center line:-1 position:50% size:49% So if we have big meetings at the hospital where there's a lot of people 00:12:54.000 --> 00:12:58.720 align:center line:-1 position:50% size:52% then I'll use the interpreter because sometimes those can be hard to follow. 00:12:58.720 --> 00:13:03.360 align:center line:-1 position:50% size:40% But when I'm just in day to day operations I make it work. 00:13:10.640 --> 00:13:17.520 align:center line:-1 position:50% size:61% Michael: Do you have any advice for students who are in middle school or high school, 00:13:18.520 --> 00:13:24.360 align:center line:-1 position:50% size:55% who are deaf or hard of hearing, who are considering going into the medical field?
