I'm an Internal Medicine Doctor living and working in New York City!
I graduated from Medical School at King's College London, got married to my best friend AND moved to New York City - all in the space of 2 weeks! Now, I’m an internal medicine residenct and am blogging my journey as a UK doctor who moved to the USA! In 2023, we welcomed our beautiful baby boy into the world (all praise be to God!).
Join me on my journey through medicine, motherhood, modest fashion, travel and everything in between! Check out my instagram blog @drshirinsyed.

This is lovely, me and my usama we’ve been apart since 2023/02/16. I do really miss him a lot ❤ I wish to see you my love❤very soon after your clinical s. Good luck for both of you mashallah! Both of you are blessed and extremely lucky to be together and keep creating these types of content further! ~Salmani❤ & usama❤
The simple reason to move to US is the salary, why sugar-coat it, sound pious and religious and say it taboo to talk. Lets be practical, every doctor in the world dreams of settling down in the US where the salaries start from $300,000 to $700,000 as a consultant doctor with quarterly bonus of $50,000, plus profit sharing if in private practise. Also the advantage of low housing costs in smaller cities in US compared to absurd pigeon holes in Central London to mediocre terraced or detached housing in Greater London. Also, another advantage is weather, if you get into sunshine states in Florida, California etc compared to horrible weather in UK.
I am 30 years old and l got master degree of Fine Art but l would like to became a doctor because l like to help people. But l don’t know anything about medicine.
So, if I wanted to start as a junior in high school, is it possible to start now even though I've not taken any more advanced classes? I'm deciding against it, but I still felt like asking.
What we call undergrad and medical school in the US is an 8 year program--4 years each. THen we follow with residency for 3-5 years and fellowship for 1-3 additional years depending on specialty. In the UK, the BS and medical school are usually combined into one 6 year program. Then continued training equivalent to residency and fellowship is 5-10 years depending on specialty. These come out almost the same if you consider the years of training post high school....they are just called different things and have slightly different structures. In my own example, training was a total of 15 years post high school to become a sub-specialist...4 years undergrad, 4 years med school, 4 years residency, 3 years fellowship. The same level of training in the UK (where I have lived) would be 15-16 years.
Thank you so much i really enjoy this video and I also feel so depress that I can't focus on my studies but after watching your amazing video it's help me a lot. INSHALLAH it help me FOR studies. MAY ALLAH BLESS YOU WITH HAPPINESS AND SUCCESS.
That literally told me nothing other than you’re a girl in a room with friends. What did Ramadan have to do with this? You highlighted nothing about what the hospital does/doesnt doesn’t do. You showed your face, a hospital hallway and a bed. So here’s the ultimate question. Is that your bedside manner? Do you go into a pts room knowing what’s going on, explain to them in snippets like you just did and expect them to understand any of this? Question what you’re putting out. Both to pts and to social media. Because this didn’t show anything.
Not that night shift doesn't always suck, but is it not ideal to work it rather than day shift during Ramadan? Since you can eat at night and then sleep during the majority of your fast.
Good point! But I personally prefer to do day shift in Ramadan. On nights end up sleeping during the day (since I’ve been awake all night) and missing out on community and the spirit of Ramadan! Some people of course find it easier to work nights since you can eat during the shift! Another thing I don’t like is that you l have to start and end the fast alone during night shift. I prefer to be with my family/husband :)
