5 Happiest Types of Doctors by Specialty 

Where is a psychiatry video, ive seen so many videos now and learned so much about an M.D. but I really need info on my specialty.

What about the most easier to study of them?

Do a video on Oncology

5 craziest doctors! I feel like pediatric (+anything) doctors are masochistic

Lifestyle of a General Practitioner VS specialised?

Please tell me her secret to being happy for I also want to be a happy neurologist

id like to know too, im on my 3rd year of med school and really like the idea of being a neurologist or neurosergeon

I want to become a neurosurgeon too. My mom always tells me that if her parents had been in a scientific field and told her about surgery, she would’ve done it. That’s why she pushes my sister and I to go into surgical fields. The pay is also circa 3-6 times higher on average too. 😂

Saawan Duvvuri I’ve heard! Neurosurgeon get paid 900k with experience at the most. I thought about it but I’m worried about how busy it is and how I’ll rarely see my family. I’m thinking about immunology right now

Ashea E, you should try applying to a few surgical residencies that you’re considering. If you get in, you’ll probably feel happy and get a confidence boost. This will also make it clear that you’re good enough to be in that specialty and that you should take it. In twenty years from now, it would be sad if you were telling your kids how you got into a neurosurgery residency but didn’t take it.

Forensic pathos like my patients dnt even move at all or ask questions 😛😝😜

YOU MADE MY DAY LMAO

I want to be an FP.... Not sure I'll get into med school but as a spiritual Christian, I kinda think God wants me to. I just have to work on myself first... 2nd year undergrad bio major. I'm so interested in diseases and how they develop and want to perform autopsies but I kinda want to know how to cure them as well. I wasn't interested in cures until recently

@@lonnisplace1459 Oh wow, that’s sounds super interesting!! Diseases are pretty cool honestly, I’m considering studying them myself if I go to medical school, so I can definitely understand why you love it so much lol. Good luck getting into med school, hope you can become an FP someday!! :))

@@originalname241 thanks so much. Ditto to you. Tbh I was content with the fact that the possibility of me getting in is close to 0% and was looking into the next best thing of being a pathology assistant... But then a med school video popped up out of nowhere and now I'm confused. Hope we both become successful. Crossed fingers

Same here mate! Wish you Luck.

Abbas KhanYT, you too brother

Me too 😂 but in germany not america

Aspiring one here as well, all the best

You can do it bitchhh

EXACTLY 😂😂😂

🤣🤣🤣🤣

😂😂😂😂

But if u won a scholarship 🙂

@Jason H yes same my local hospital is in a city of like 30,000 and needs more doctors so they pay Ur student loans and rent or mortgage

Me too, I'm doing software engineering 😂

depressed soul u secretly love being a doctor

@@embyrio not secretly, I like engineering and medical both the same, it's just a particular interest that I have made me choose engineering over medical

Same

Why am I here ? I am 8th grader lol

Trudat

Thanks. I am an aspiring physician (currently in high school) and this really helped me

That's the thing. Sometimes I hate studying because I lose focus. But I love learning and just have tons and tons of curiosity, so I think I'd love studying medicine.

Hi there Dianne. While what you are saying is certainly true, any career/job performed at the highest level requires lifelong learning and continuous adaptation, and simply not turning the tap off. current MD-PhD student

@@probablyahorse1389 bro, I hate Mathematics, but I give a lot of concentration on Biology and since 8 months I have been wanting to learn about forearm and musculus extensor carpi ulnaris. Should I study Medical Sciences or not? Is it a good field?

Same here

Same

Sameee 😂

Samee😊

same yoo

👏🏼 congratulations

Or u single ❤❤😍😍

Good luck! It’s very competitive, but I hope you’ll make it 💛

Ryl on average what were ur grades? are u an 80s or 90s student?

Congrats!!

I’m so happy pulmonary medicine tied at a 57% :) I was worried that I would be surrounded by miserable people, guess not :)

What about radiology

Where does Anaesthesiology rank?

​@@chandrikakamath270799% happy lmao (just my opinion )

I Love Dermatology Best Of Luck BTW I Am Also Preparing For Madical :)

I wish you luck! I am considering dermatology as a cheerer path and was wondering what you do when you're a dermatologist? Like what type of environment do you work in and how do you become a dermatologist?

@@Dragon_prince90 I believe this channel made a video about life as a dermatologist ("So You Want to Be a Dermatologist"), you can find all the information you need there! Good luck!

@@afarensis9720 oh ok thank you 😁

Good luck sis you’ll need it

Exactly! most doctors say they changed their specialty during residency and it was the best thing they ever did. Although I want to be a pediatric surgeon I still think plastic surgery and dermatology is super cool and I'm not even a sophomore in college yet so Im definitely keeping an open mind.

@@Cowgirlkatelynn why are you interested in dermatology?

@@jamielannister3627 less stress.,high pay, no life threatening procedures, balance between work and family, self employment.

@@surbhiprasad8411 I wasn't asking you lol

best advice! thanks for that

Yeah but u realize u need to retain and keep strong knowledge of everything u learn in medical school it's not a job for dummies

Yeah i can totally relate . Looks like it's radiology for me too

Medicine is not made for you from what you described 😅

same with me,i rlly want to do radiology!

@@sarahdemonte5493 why do you say medicine isn’t for her

I still remember the first time they showed the dermatology department in Grey’s and it was a literal paradise 😂

Saja 09 omg i'm literally here right after watching that episode lol.

Michelle Omayuku what episode is that

@@aliah147 Brave new world

I literally just watched that episode today :D:D

Anesthesiologist: I'm high on LIFE (L-Meth)

just no

Because if you survive and don't commit suicide after being an anesthesiologist then you must be one heck of a positive person! Lol

@@StephJ0seph why would they commit suicide?

These comments are hilarious.

Hello switzlady i am a pathology applicant.can you give me your email to contact you

Do you have free time?

@@fatetaker4507 I do now. 👍I currently work 9-5, M-F, no call, no weekends.

I currently have to decide between pathology and psychiatry. Any advice for choosing patho?

@@glowlikeyou1099 Pathology is getting more and more complex with molecular Pathology, tumor Genetics, companion diagnostics, etc, but still very interesting and also is going digital which gives more opportunities for flexible work situations.

Thanks for watching

Med School Insiders thanks for watching this comment

How were you able to switch specialties?

I didn’t change specialties. At FDA being trained in a primary care specialty allows you to work in most of the new drug review divisions. When I joined FDA, Dermatology needed review staff and I liked the people I met during the interview. So I was happy when they offered me a position.

As a private practice MD, or academic practice? Any thoughts on those two categories? :)

what didnt you enjoy about pediatrics?

You can save some people, some cancers can be cured, depending on the stage.

All any doctor can do is to delay the inevitable: none of their patients will live for ever.

Well, I am NOT an oncologist but an internist/ geriatrician so similarly, I often worked with patients who were at the end of their lives and with chronic/ terminal health issues that could not be cured. I even served as a palliative care/ hospice MD at times. However, I can see why oncology - and somewhat similarly rheumatology, cardiology, etc. - may be attractive to many people. What this video does not define are the 2 different types of happiness, which the Greeks did: there is hedonia and there is eudaemonia. Hedonia is what many people think of when they think of happiness: drinking, partying, shopping, basically any activity that tends to stimulate our senses. Eudaimonia is a deeper type of happiness and more to do with connection and meaning. Hence someone with a fairly tragic or hard life on the surface (e.g. Martin Luther King, Jr.; Gandhi, Galileo, etc. at times) can still feel "happy" but in a different way. I really enjoyed being able to help people function better, makes their lives a little easier, and help them increase their quality of life even as I (or anyone else for that matter) could not extend their lives or cure them. On the other side, I learned a lot from my patients about what makes life meaningful and fulfilled. Far from being gloomy, palliative medicine/ hospice was actually hopeful. The hope wasn't necessarily about being cured or getting better necessarily but having the ability to spend time with those one loved, feeling gratitude for the years one had, etc. Some oncologists probably feel the same way. (Also, as the other commenter noted, there are some cancers which a curable and others that are quite manageable. For example Hodgkin's lymphoma and testicular cancer. I'd also add that a) medicine is wide enough to fit all kinds of interests, b) personalities associated with different specialties - the people you are around - can also impact happiness (e.g. the first internal med rotation I did, I was immediately deemed/ welcomed to be an internist by my peers and teachers), and c) the organization/ environment where you work impacts happiness. I worked hard but my last position had no call and I controlled my own schedule.)

I work in oncology as as a PN and omg I love my job. It so rewarding, and not as many deaths as you think. You really get to build a connection with people and seeing them through their journey is inspiring.

I would want only the ones who have their heart in it to do it. It’s not easy losing a family member because of it. It was really difficult.

Brooke McMoy McMoy just do it radiologist can sleep normally no midnite calls...

@@mikesaunders8411 Hahahahaha... yeah... as if... Radiology resident here - nights can be hell - but not as hellish as in surgery... been there - done that.

I want to be a radiologist as well! Good luck to both of us, my friend!

2nd year medstudent here, i'll be back when I become a radiologist XD

Maybe more interaction with people helps

@@MedSchoolInsiders given my healthcare experience so far I would've thought the opposite overall. For example many in the OR tell me they love it because the pts are alseep! lmao

Rediet Million The job market for pathology is the worst in all medicine. People end up relocating all the time and the salaries are low as well.

@@randommhumorr2443 Nonsense. People have been saying that for decades, but it's simply not true. Because Pathologists are rare, we are highly sought-after specialists. Recruiters are actively searching for Pathologists worldwide - that's why I'm in Switzerland...and loving it!

@@MedSchoolInsiders We interact with people all day, every day: surgeons, oncologists, gastroenterologists, dermatologists, and so on. Oh, and even with patients, depending on your scope of practice in Clinical Pathology/Laboratory Medicine.

Yes please. Cardiology.

OMG THIS IS SO TRUE.

@@reng7280 There's not much of a comparision between these two, because anything on interventional side goes toward neurosurgery( unlike cardio where there are quite overlaps)

Hm is there a difference😧

I hope you to become a great psychiatrist. I also want to be a neuropsyquiatrist The way how our brain works gives me happiness and willingness to continue.

Zac G that might be true but just imagine being one of the vast majority of people who have to choose their entire path right when they graduate undergrad or even right when they finish high school. Med students are lucky to wait all the way until their late twenties to decide.

@@corinneobrien6196 I somewhat agree but there is a big caveat. Most people outside of medicine are preparing for a large number of career directions. Physicians who match into a medical specialty are basically locked into a very specific career pathway and it can be very difficult to change. People who are graduating with an undergraduate degree and entering the work force typically have a lot more flexibility with the types of trade offs they want between work/life balance because their career pathways aren't as fixed. I'm not saying everyone else has it easy. But I am saying that physicians often end up delaying many things like family and then lock themselves into very rigid careers that don't allow for flexibility in that regard. Now I'm not complaining on my own behalf. I picked a career pathway that is one of the more balanced within medicine. I'm just saying that for many specialties (especially surgical specialties and in-patient specialties) you can end up locking yourself into a bad work/life balance before you even realized that you would want work/life balance.

Very insightful, thank you

I am an Otolaryngology resident graduate, contemplating for days on end on academic vs private practice and subspecialty training as a Facial Plastic and Reconstructive Surgeon

Good luck friend

Yes! Me too. I am applying in Canada

Hello can I know what does pre med biology mean is it Bachelor's in Biology or some other?How many years you have to study?

@@reyman7296 when you do bachelor's in biology before going to med school, it's meant pre med in bio. Whatever bachelor you do before med is pre med

@A. D. in America, my daughter went to good college, biology and Spanish double major, study to do well on MCAT, graduate with honors (she was summa and phi beta kappa). If you do well, you'll be accepted (she was accepted by 4 med schools). Good luck on your journey, my daughter has loved the whole process.

I'm glad to hear that!

So you guys have regular hours or no?

do you regret choosing ophtho?

Omg yesss 💯

Omg same ✋️

Yeah, I'm also really interested in those two specialties. I'm probably a future pathologist!

Same here!

Future forensic pathologist here!

Albert, yes this is the field i’m most interested in currently! Unfortunately there aren’t many in my state so it’s hard to get information on them😕

I am a pathology resident. Wouldn’t do any other specialty. Suits my personality.

Yeah, why?

@Lorianne Reyes quite a sad story, sorry about that. Is it the workload? I never hear so much about anaesthesiologists

Lorianne Reyes why is that?

Cause everybody doing that shit is depressed why would they try to get more people depressed

That’s something I’ve wondered about also, as the vast majority of CRNAs I’ve met seem to love their job and speak very highly of anesthesia.

Even I want to become a cardiologist

Same here,army..💜

Omg same Army me too I want to be a cardiologist :(((

Me too guys..😁army plus hopefully future cardiologist

Cardio 🥰

Omg same! I also wanna be dermatologist (a cosmetic dermatologist)

hey same here I thought of becoming a psychiatrist I don't really know if I can do it

y'all can do it✊🏻 good luck!

You know it

Good luck

ABANDON SHIP

Hello can I know how many years course is this premed?

@@reyman7296 4 years

good luck!!

Thanks for watching

How often does a dermatologist perform surgery? Is it very common or very rare? I’m juggling between it and radiology and they’re both really fascinating to me, but I’m not too keen on performing lots of surgery. Thanks!

My daughter hated her psychiatric rotation. One depressed person after another. She's 4th year and going into anesthesiology.

@@valeriedemello1794 I can imagine that it is more interesting for a psychiatrist to work with people with actual mental disabilities rather than people who are just unhappy. It seems very foolish to me to think that a doctor can cure unhappiness

I am here alone ❤😍🌷

What is the reason they say that

I'm taking anaesthesiology although I get any other branches...this is because I like the lifestyle of an anaesthesiologist.....i don't understand the hype for dermatology!!

@@anushakrishnan8736 I don't understand the hype for dermatology either I'm considering anesthesiology

Leidy A. Mantilla shit I mean good for you

Inshallah things go your way

Leidy A.Mantilla My goal is to be an Oncologist as well. I’m more interested that than other specialties. And I’m joining with you to break that statistic.

I sure hope so =/

i wanted to be an oncologist too but it's too depressing for me. you just tell your patient they're gonna die in front of their 1-5 year old children, tell them that they have a few months or even weeks to live and it's incredibly stressful and so heartbreaking. you see patients with their family relying on them but cant do anything about it.

Good call! No need to rush that decision

Reanna Richardson God bless you. Praying for your decision

Nothing that interested you as a premed?

I love u I like u Am single ❤❤😍😍

📝 Do you at least have a top 3? 😍 By the way, you are really easy on the eyes!
