Hey! I'm Michael and welcome to the channel. Here I share about all about my career in medicine and my out-of-hours (OOH) passion for high performance living.
Bruv, Mercury in Retrograde is a not good thing, in terms of communication at least. Few people would see it as a positive alignment. Of course astrology is all bullshit.
From what I can tell looking at the research papers, people only REALLY experience about 2 ultradian rhythms per day?? So really you're looking at 2 key periods of the day where you can sitdown and focus roughly 90 mins (most likely less). This isn't something that can replace the pomodoro, they are 2 very different things. You can learn using the pomodoro method alongside this method and just take LONGER breaks during the resting phases of your ultradian rhythm. When you are in a ultradian peak again, you can take shorter breaks (5 min) and longer working sessions (30 mins). Also prioritise your congitively demanding tasks during the ultradian peak and do all the admin/errands during the slower periods of rest. A KPI for the week would be how many ultradian peaks did you fulfil and what did you achieve/learn during those peaks? But it really isn't one or the other like this video suggests... and CERTAINLY not that ultradian can be used similar to a Pomodoro but 90 mins instead of 25 mins. They are completely different things.
your videos are precious, you should continue your journey on RU-vid do not stop because you give an important value for everything you expose us. you are the successor of Andrew Huberman.
awesome video mehn. im on my plab journey and hope to get into radiology next year, but im scared. no other specialty seems to appeal to me like this one but still i woner. thanks for the video though. ill go through all the others on your channel.
Being a radiologist is safe, there is no higher risk of cancer in radiologists compared to the general public. When we do have to work with xrays, we use appropriate protection
Hi, thank you for the video. I have a question: What confuses me is that during the night those rythmus should last about 90 min and during the day its between 60-90min + 10-20min, which means in the extreme during the day one cycle would be 70min or 110m. Some podcasts, videos etc. tell that the 90min cycles keep going throughout the day. What are your thoughts in this? Thank you! PS: I haven't read any scientifit books or papers on this.
Personally I think micro-analysing the rhythms won't help. Track your own rhythm and use that as a guide, or simply just take the 90 minutes and see how you go. There's a bit of trial and error. Don't overthink it!
I have another video talking about my reasons for doing radiology! But to answer you briefly here, I was drawn to radiology as I love the focus on diagnostics and thinking through problems to try to come to a diagnosis. It's also one of the few general medical specialties left where you need to have a high level of knowledge across the board. To be frank I also realised the ward life wasn't for me, and I loved the lifestyle radiology offers.
It would help with anatomy knowledge which is key for radiology. If you're applying in the UK it maybe get you an extra point at the interview, but you can certainly get into radiology without it! So overall I'd say it's a matter of personal choice
Question for you: where did you go to med-school? Did you go in the US or overseas? I ask because I am hoping to go to med school next year and specialize in Radiology.
For diagnostic radiologists this is nearly the same as the public with no real increase in radiation related illness. For interventional radiology, they wear lead PPE and have strict dose monitoring to ensure their exposure is limited and stays at safe levels. If you ever want the stats then radiation safety personnel / superintendent radiographers are great sources of information in every department!
liked the video. deffo gonna try this. Always liked deep work but ive not structured it very well before so looking forward to seeing if this helps. cheers
