Hello, this is Jakub. 👋 Welcome to another live broadcast from my shifts at the stroke unit. Today is Friday, March 6, 2026, and I'm on another day shift. Yesterday was incredibly demanding—Mrs. Jitka with massive pulmonary embolism and brain artery occlusion, CVC insertion, CT transports, cardiology consultations. Let's see what today brings. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 🌅 Commute to Work ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- This morning went the same as the last few days. I woke up at 5:10, showered, got ready, and headed out. As always, I drove my brother to the Police University—we talk about what's ahead on the way, and I get to escape the hospital world for a bit. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 6:15 – Arrival at the Hospital 🏥 ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- I park in front of Homolka, quickly run to the locker room. Change into clean scrubs—the classic. Things in the locker, phone in pocket, ready to go. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 🩺 Shift Handover ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 6:30 – On the Ward ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- We're standing in the day room. Shift handover begins. Today I'll be taking care of Mrs. Jitka again—the patient who kept the whole team busy from morning to evening yesterday. Let's see how she did overnight and what awaits us today. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Reminder: Who is Mrs. Jitka? ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Hello, this is Jakub. 👋 Welcome to another live broadcast from my shifts at the stroke unit. Today is Thursday, March 5, 2026, and I'm on another day shift. Yesterday was demanding, but full of progress—let's see what today brings. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 🌅 Commute to Work ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- This morning went the same as yesterday. I woke up at 5:15, showered, got ready, and at 5:35 my brother and I headed out. On the way to the Police University, we talked about what's ahead—it's nice to chat before entering hospital mode. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 6:20 – Arrival at the Hospital 🏥 ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- I park in front of Homolka, quickly run to the locker room. Change into clean hospital scrubs—the classic. Things in the locker, phone in pocket, ready to go. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 🩺 Shift Handover ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 6:30 – On the Ward ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- We're standing in the day room and starting handover. Today there are 7 patients on the ICU—5 women and 2 men. My two gentlemen from yesterday (Daniel and Konstantin) are now another colleague's responsibility. I'm getting a new, very serious patient—Mrs. Jitka, 52 years old. She was admitted overnight in critical condition. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 6:45 – Ambulance Rings and an Unexpected New Patient 🚑 ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Hello, this is Jakub. 👋 Welcome to another live broadcast from my shifts at the stroke unit. After weekend nights and a few days off, I'm back—this time on day shift. Today is Wednesday, March 4, 2026, and I'm looking at a classic day from 6:30 to 19:00. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 🌅 Commute to Work ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 5:15 – Wake-up ⏰ ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- The alarm rings, but I'm already up a few minutes before it. My body got used to night mode, so switching back to day shift is always a bit of a battle. But what can you do—gotta get to work. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 5:20 – Shower 🚿 ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- A quick shower wakes me up better than coffee. Cold water at the end—a refreshing start to the day. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 5:35 – Departure 🚗 ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Today we're leaving early because I promised my brother I'd drive him to school. He studies at the Police University, so we chat about what's ahead. It's nice to talk like this—at least for a moment, I switch off before entering hospital mode. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 6:15 – Arrival at the Hospital 🏥 ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- At 6:15, I park in front of Homolka. I quickly run to the locker room and change into clean hospital scrubs—light green, the classic. Things in the locker, phone in pocket, ready to go.

Hello, this is Jakub. Welcome to another—and this time the last—live broadcast from my shifts at the stroke unit. Today is Sunday, March 1, 2026, and I'm going into the third and final night of this weekend marathon. Friday, Saturday, and now Sunday. Three nights in a row, my body is slowly feeling it, but the final stretch must be done. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 🌙 Before the Shift – How I Tune In for the Finale ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- I woke up around 15:00. My body asked for rest, and I listened. I made myself eggs—a breakfast/lunch that kicks off the day, even if it starts in the afternoon. Then I tidied up a bit at home. At least I moved around and wasn’t completely like a stump. I brewed coffee, sat for a while, and looked out the window. The last day off before a night shift is always a bit strange—the body knows what’s coming and tries to soak up as much calm as possible. At 17:20, I take a shower. A ritual before every shift—wash off the home world and tune into hospital mode. Then I get ready and check I have everything—snack, keys, phone. Just after 18:00, I sit in the car and head to Homolka. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 🚗 Journey and Arrival ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 18:15 – Arrival at Homolka I park and quickly run to the locker room. I change into clean hospital scrubs—light green, fresh for the last shift too. Then I hop to the canteen to pick up dinner. Today they have chicken strips with pea fries. Looks good; I take it with me to the ICU. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 🧑‍⚕️ Shift Handover and Evening Routine ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 18:30 – Shift Handover
