er volunteer!

Hi Everyone!

I'm a current highschool junior and I volunteer in the ER weekly. I absolutely love it and enjoy it so much! I love the patient interactions and helping people in general. I want to be a doctor in the future, so this environment is perfect for me.

However, there is one thing that slightly annoys me. Whenever a trauma is brought in, I never really know/understand what is going on. I'm wondering if yall have any recommendations for books, youtube channels, or any other resources where I can learn basic medical knowledge and just kinda understand what the doctors and nurses are doing. I know a kind of obvious one might be to just ask the nurses/doctors, but I always feel intimidated and anxious talking to them because they're always so busy and my anxiety ends up getting the best of me.

I would love for any recs on how i can improve my medical knowledge! Thanks in advance!
