A Day in the Life - Surgical PA Student on Clinical Rotations (General Surgery Vlog) 

Yesss totally

me too

Same omg!!

Samee

Ok

samee I don't want to be a doctor but the lifestyle is so cool

I didn’t want to do anything medical until senior year. I took a class and fell in love. Didn’t know about PAs so I wanted to be a pediatrician. Found out about PAs freshman year of college and now I am one :)

⁠@@MHSMagicLuverI’m a freshman in undergrad right now and really struggling to decide between PA Vs physician. What brought you to being a PA and are you happy with your choice? Appreciate you 🙏 :)

@@sundrin4481 so I wanted to be a doctor when I started college but I didn’t even know a PA was a thing (back in 2009). Because I knew no one in the field. A friend of mine wanted to be a PA (she’s a NP now instead and the other one isn’t in medical at all) and I looked it up and knew it was perfect for me but.. I still shadowed a physician and multiple PAs to make sure. So that’s definitely something I recommend. I’ve been a PA for 3 years now (working for 2) and I love the field. I wasn’t a fan of my first job which is why I left a year ago but it’s the actual job, not the profession. We even had multiple physicians leave that job when I did. I’m currently looking for a new job as we moved states. Biggest thing for me is lateral mobility. I started in family medicine and I would love to go into general surgery next.

Try hard!

Same! I’m only 14 and I’m so interested I’m learning anatomy on my own

Do ittt, your happiness is first, trust me

@@lololol4357 You should focus more in school, your grades will be very important for university. I know that feeling of wanting to start learning on what you want to study, but focusing on school will help you more. Believe me, years will go by very fast. Just wait and do great in school.

@@gerardoa2913 thank you! Also don’t worry I make sure my school work is done before I focus on medical stuff

I love how passionate you are about it, girl you got this!

@ Ashleyowhateva thank you thank you 😊

You wrote the whole essay.

your zeal will take you there! i believe in you❤️

See you in the OR maybe. ;) I'm 4th year med student who aspires to be surgeon. I want to work with people like you! :D Good luck with your studies!

do you like med school so far is it hard?

@@raionasgamingchronicles3397 it's definitely as much of a challenge as it's notorious for. The pandemic has definitely made med school even more difficult than usual! In my opinion, it's all about time management.

Same, finished today✨

@@alianaws4972 congratulations ❤️😍

@@raionasgamingchronicles3397 thanks🖤

I’m one of them- lmao

I'm here😭

meeeee

@@totally-mac 10 blade, suction please. Am i qualified enough to be a doctor?

I hope all of your dreams come true and that you will believe in yourself. You're already doing difficult nursing school and if you enjoy it - go for it. I'm med student of the 3rd course myself and it's totally worth it. Didn't believe in myself either. Take care!

Soderywow

She’s a pa not a doctor

@Booooo I also had scoliosis and I had a spinal fusion. Now I also want to do something medical

@@sara215I’m going to be a pediatric trauma nurse anesthetist which requires a doctoral degree and a 2 year fellowship, i will refer to myself as a doctor thanks

I just was watch your video, I thought you was going to Medical school, on your RU-vid channel.

Hey, I thought UK does not allow PAs. Did that change recently? Wish you the best!

That's nice wish you all the best

same, here. Next fall I will be starting a pre-pa major.....my schedule looks terrifying, but oh well, can't see myself working in anything other than medicine if im bein honest, it is way too fascinating!

Maybe you can make animated movie about doctors

Appreciate the love 💕

Ahhh good luck! It’s an amazing journey

You don’t even have that many videos Dani

Glad you are enjoying it! Honestly, I am enjoying clinical year wayyy more!!! You get to apply everything you learned during your didactic year into real life :D

@@DanithePA I want you baby I am bs surgical student please give me reply

Thank you!!!🥳

Actually she isn't a doctor, she's a PA.

@@liv0003 what does that mean?

@@mads5478 physician assistant

It is exciting, don't beat your self up over a gap. I had to take 4 years off after finishing my premed degree before applying. It doesn't matter when you start so long as you get there!

My friend dropped out of school before even reaching highschool. Now, he's 20 and is in his first year of highschool. He is not planning on medicine, but he's planning for at least 5years of college(not considering the freshman year as in my country we have 3years of highschool then we start as sophomores).

I literally did the same thing. Same grad year, same amount of gap time. I see those 2 years of not "wasted time" but to really solidify PA as what I wanted my career choice to be. Best of luck to you!

Gap years are super valid! And they’re probably more common than you think :)

Dont worry. You will finish in time. The time would have passed anyway, so..

We’re overworked, that’s for sure! Any solutions?

​@@DanithePA I think the solution is for everyone to actually admit the problem (seems that the entire system and even the doctors/students themselves are pressured into pretending it is ok). Then slowly but surely change the entire medical system in America. Put massive amounts of government money into changes over time that make sense (updates in technology to stream-line processes). But most of all, HIRE more people... have more nurses. Create new jobs that don't exist but make sense. For example, I went to a doctor once who had a medical student as a note -taker during the appointment that was doing all of the paperwork. That seems like a job that should just exist already: "professional medical note taker" that are taught about medical hygiene etc., but are very skilled in assistant and secretarial work. I think huge pressure has to be put on the system for these types of changes to be made. I really wish the current medical teachers and career doctors would try and push for these changes themselves (the way that they do in the airline industry... you don't sleep, you don't fly). Actually the airline industry is the perfect example. You could almost copy and paste their rules. I foresee a HUGE lawsuit (something involving huge amounts of money) in the next decade that focuses on how bad being chronically under-slept is for doctors. Maybe a giant study that really highlights the medical errors being caused by being sleep deprived. Maybe then actual change will happen. p.s. Sorry if my tone sounds annoyed. The irony of medical professionals constantly telling everyone how important sleep is, but then not sleeping themselves is frustrating. Not frustrated at the individual doctors, more at the system that allows this to take place. I think social media has made this issue more obvious. Thank you for what you do personally.

@@flygirlhandm I think a big thing is also someone has to be working 24/7, so you get those long long shifts

@@flygirlhandm the job that the medical student was doing is called a medical scribe, it already exists :) & a lot of pre med/med students work as those Really agree with your points

@@GlamGoddes101 Do you know why there aren't more medical scribes? (I am guessing the system doesn't want to pay for them?) EVERY doctor should have one! It would save so much time for the doctors and they would be more accurate and detailed in their notes.

Good luck!!

@@Rorakate thankyou so muchhhh 🥺

Saaaaaaaaame

Saame, I think the same way, tbh haven't been really passionate abt anything else but medicine so i guess its my thing

Same ❤️✌🏻

@@nanaumi6805 yaa me toi

Yes, I think that in your case, it's meant to be. I wish I would feel that way about Medicine
