Bob, it's someone who wants to become a doctor. Often, it just refers to students- but there are unconventional pre-meds too...

Proud biomed here a.k.a premed

You are too pre med. student ?

Tyler Holliday nothing lasts forever my friend

@@miavnavarro LOL you heard of private practice? Only death can retire you from being a doctor.

Not many people can become surgeons no matter how hard you try people’s brain isn’t wired that way

Hey second future neurosurgeon here also

Hello there future neurosurgeons, 3rd future instrument of God in the OR here

I come from a middle Eastern / Asian household. My parents always had very high expectations of their children. My mother wanted me to be a dentist. I went with it to appease her but I never succeeded. I didn't care about teeth enough to commit to studying towards entering dental school. Now i think of changing careers to study medicine. I think winning my parent's approval is an important factor into my decision but fundamentally, I want to travel to impoverished areas as a doctor and provide healthcare to those who need it the most. I was deeply inspired and moved by David Notts' story. I'm good with my hands, I can draw well and play guitar beautifully. My ambition is to be a surgeon though I'm not sure which specialty. I have yet to even sit the med school entry exam nor apply. But one day I'll make it so I'm a doctor when I'm not too old. I'd have to sacrifice much for this but I want to. I'm eager for my future 😊

Shah Zad Unfortunately, or maybe somewhat fortunately, I was not privileged to have parents that pushed me to do anything prestigious. I decided that I wanted to become a surgeon based on my own intrinsic desire. That has helped me a lot because I actually enjoy what I am doing. I don’t mind the 80-100 hrs a week schedule because I myself has chosen this path. Be careful. The many people that complain are the ones doing surgery for the prestige. There are other fields in medicine. That aren’t as rigorous and even more rewarding ( financially and spiritually). Just make sure you are doing it for the right reason. You’re going to be a doctor! I see you as one. That in itself is impressive. Work hard. You will get it. I believe in you. When you finally do get to that point in your medical career, I trust that you will make the right decision. There is a popular saying that goes, “If you could see yourself doing anything other than surgery, please do that.” I couldn’t and so I am here now. I am happy. Hopefully, you will be too! I hope one day you will be a future colleague!

@@nombla1111 thanks for the reply. I appreciate your support. One unrelated quote that resonates with me is "The ship is safe in the harbour but that's not what ships are built for". Best of luck in your endeavours.

@@nombla1111 Hi! I'm a med student. May I know how you are doing now?

Ever🤗

Me too

lmaooooo high school? but why would you want to become a cardio surgeon? just because its cool? you havent even started medical school yet so how do you know you like surgery?

@@hamzatariq4037It’s good to have an idea. It’s nice for motivation. and yes, it’s not set in stone obviously. When you go to med school, you’ll do rotations.

Wow that also my dream and am 16 year

Best of luck to you both I wish you the best in your journey

I was a few years ago but good luck on starting your mission

No he is not
