Hello! My name is Daniel Shin, MD. I’m a board certified urologic surgeon, investor, and expert on physician and financial wellness.
I grew up surrounded by financial scarcity in a first generation immigrant family. After 15 years of education and training, I finally had the “doctor job” of my dreams. But just a couple of years into my career, I was also $300,000 in debt, burnt out, and handcuffed to my job due to high living expenses.
I took control of my destiny and mapped out a path to financial freedom. I made strategic investments, building a 27 unit real estate portfolio along the way. Next, I broke free from my employed job and moved to a lower cost of living city for new adventures in medicine and investing.
I blog at TheDarwinianDoctor.com and create content on TikTok and RU-vid (@thedarwiniandoctor).
Feel free to contact me for podcast interviews and quotes for your news articles!
Come along with me and let’s achieve financial freedom together!
10 years of college, another what 4 for residency? Then, if you finally make it, you got hundreds of thousands of dollors in student loans, only to pull in 150-200k after taxes and expenses. Considering youre working 60-80 hours a week in one of the hardest and most stressful jobs ever if say a lot of doctors are underpaid if anything.
I'm sure there's the random dummies. But, at this point I think most of us have looked at our bills and seen things like $38 for a bandaid. Most of us know it's not the doctor's, it's the corrupt industry as a whole. If anything I think doctors and nurses should be paid well and almost everyone else in this massive cash grab should be cut out.
I am very inspired by the physician who earned >$1M working remotely. Can you please share more information (ie, what they are doing, how they got into it, qualifications)?
Is the pain like very bad in testicular torsion? Cuz i was sitting with my legs crossed yesterday and suddenly my left ball started to hurt at the top (it still hurts today but only when i touch it) and idk but it seems like it's weirdly placed, idk maybe im too paranoid. I told my parents about this and they said if I doesn't feel this like extreme pain then it's ok and i don't have to worry that much.
1. Your wife might cheat on you and now if you meet someone that does want kids. That’s a bridge you’ll have to cross. 2. Your balls will hurt during fun time. Ask me how I know! Don’t do it!
Currently in this dilemma as a resident and don't know what path is best. Mindest is an innate thing and something I dont think we have much control over. As long as your mindset is directing you to your version of happiness thats all that matters. ❤
I have a weird hand issue going on and I'm seeing a hand specialist and hope they can figure it out. My regular doc has ruled out carpel tunnel, arthritis, nerve issues.. 😭 stories like this give me hope
Hi, I have got some kind of infection in my groin that some how always stays moist, and now my testicle skin is turned red from bottom and burns, whenever I apply antifungal cream on scrotum there is unbearable stinging needling sensation, is it torsion or something else, I would appreciate your reply 😢
Yes, doctors get sick, too, but in my experience it most often isn’t from their patients because of all the PPE they wear and infectious patients are kept in isolation rooms. The ID doctors in my unit most often get sick from their kids 😂 but the human immune system is an incredible thing!
These doctors make it look like the human body is so fragile and nothing can heal on its own. I believe in God. Everything heals on its own just give it time and rest.
