Best Doctor Lifestyle Specialties 

Hahahahahahahaha

hahahahahhaa

hahahahhahaha

😂

Best comment 🤣

Not in Russia lmaooo

Another reason the US has the most advanced medicine in the world; knife wounds are just so much easier to deal with.

Subsitute the gunshot wounds with knife "accidents".

@Fry 18 calm down it's a joke

@Fry 18 yeah, but it's estimated you're fifteen times more likely to get shot in US than anywhere in Europe. There are approximately 0,2 - 2 deaths per million deaths (depending on country) caused by a gun shot wound. In US it is 32 per million. Let that sink in.

Dr Kristina! Love your videos !

😆

Hey doc you here too lol

I can’t wait to become an anesthesiologist

This one person I know online is a neurologist and blogs.

Great to hear :) my dream is to become a hand surgeon after med school

I used to think the best part of medicine was about dealing with people and it didn't take more than a semester to change my mind 😶

😂

Lmao same!! I’m in my first year too and I didn’t hesitate to tap this

Same here! Being a medical student is alr driving me quite nuts

@@historiapinkman7012 is it that hard😅?

@@akbeast3640 it is for me anyways! Pretty hard seeing most of my friends party & hang all the time meanwhile my nose is stuck on a book. The exams could be pretty stressful too imho

I’m a pathologist and I agree I’m happy.

Can you offer some advice of how to become a forensic pathologist? It's my dream career but idk if I'll get into med school

@@lonnisplace1459 just study your ass off and it’s doable. Get good letters of rec shadowing a pathologist at the end of medical school to get a decent residency and do about average on STEP 1. If not in med school yet must maintain GPA around 3.5 and MCAT won’t matter quite so much (possibly).

@@lonnisplace1459 My first piece of advice would be to not focus too hard on one school, or even a few schools, only. Because...if you can't get into your state's schools, or whatever school you think you want to, you can still go to medical school, probably. There's the Caribbean; Poland; Ireland; Mexico; and any of those could get you the degree and residency that you need to do most things that you want. These things don't have to only be one way. It's not "if I don't get into X school, I can't..." because you can. It just takes more effort on your part. My second piece of advice would be to give up the idea that you want to be a forensic pathologist. That, too, becomes self-limiting; i.e. if not that, then nothing. The fact is, once you get into med school you will PROBABLY pick a specialty that you never thought of. About half of every class does. I say this, because I've seen in MANY times. Even I started med school thinking I wanted to be a pathologist (mainly because both my mother and father are pathologists), but after I got into my junior year and I went through some other rotations, I found that other things interested me more. I thought I didn't really want to deal with patients directly, then I became a family doctor and psychiatrist. So just wait and see. You might be (pleasantly) surprised.

@@Prissypants_itsAFamilyNameOkay wait, how could I enter to a residence in pathology in america if I am currently a medical student in mexico? Thanks!

This guy is super biased

I’ve heard that for family medicine charting in clinical practice can become *a lot* and that does contribute to burnout…

It’s a perfect lifestyle when you have 12-14 8-hours shift every month and have no responsibilities once you leave the hospital You literally can have 16-18 days off every month and still be pain more than all of the specialties you have mentioned.

@@kawaii_potato_senpai8326 “ I almost did plastics and will always suggest I’m better than you for it” -op

Hey fake KGB

This is exactly whats stopping me from wanting to be a neurosurgeon 😩

depends on the individual. Lifestyle matters more to some people regardless of how much they like the specialty. You gotta compromise.

'Fullfillment' doesn't last very long when the workload eventually catches up with you after your 5th straight weekend call. You can still do it but no specialty after a while continues to have the same love and profession they did when they first started out

It's good to love what you're doing but the pay and hours are extremely important, if you get discouraged it makes sense. Your love for it can die out if you're not living good

if your life we are are all NPCs

@@lallanada7337 jungkook biased-OT7

Ok?

Is medical school so hard😅?

same but I'm worried about scope creep; a lot of MDs were fired for PA/NPs during the pandemic since running an ER is so expensive

@@akbeast3640 yh and it needs lot of studying as well. Almost only 3 hours of sleep😅😅😅. I'm a 2nd year medical student btw💁‍♀️😭

@@akbeast3640 The best part of getting into medical school is finding out you got in because it's going to be a rough 3 years from that point. The first two years is like finals week in college, except it'e every week. Then third year is getting use to not knowing anything, and the felling you are constantly "in the way" of "real adults doing real work". 4th year feels almost like a vacation while probably still working 40+ hours a week for 2/3 to 3/4 of the year depending where you went to medical school. I am a heme onc fellow from an internal medicine residency, so I only feel qualified talking about medical specialties. For IM, PGY1 year is where you learn what hard work really is. The first 3 months is a STEEP learning curve, getting to know the hospital, the system, and truly learn the word of "roundsmenship." The next 9 months is kinda repetitive in the best way possible. You are still learning, working hard hours, but at a pace you are more comfortable with. PGY2 year is by far the STEEPEST learning curve. For some, it takes 2-3 months. For others, it may take the rest of residency. While their medical knowledge will need continued improvement (like we all do), they learn to take full ownership of their patients. Through out your training, you will face new challenges every step of the way and each time it pushes you towards a new level of comfort zone. But don't worry about all that yet. I would say the hardest part is getting invited to the club i.e. get into medical school. To put things in perspective, I spent 2 months preparing for my medical school application. 1 week for my residency application, and 1 afternoon for my fellowship application. I found it's much easier to convince people you are interested, if you have the access to opportunities. I hope this helps, good luck!

@@ShiverZZZ666 Honestly if you get only 3 hours of sleep a day because you can't keep up, maybe med school isn't for you. I don't even study every day and always get 8 hours of sleep and still manage well, so do most of my classmates. I'm a 5th year student. Just chill a bit and learn to study effectively. You'll drop out if you don't sleep and burn out.

Seconded! I keep waiting for that episode

Thats exactly the conclusion he makes at the end of the video. I hope so too! Best of luck!

This is why I’m gonna pursue radiology. I love it and wanna help people but if I’m gonna be honest I’m chasing that cash too😂.

So did you get in or not?

How is going?, I am starting my housemanship, I would love to be a Dermatologist

@@user-xu4fz5mr4e how is your housemanship going?

He's too big to make these. He's not even a doctor right now, so won't complain

@@jainilsoni9922 false. he quit residency to improve the lives of all med students and future medical doctors. He should make a video. he has the platform to make others aware.

@@UneasyTortoise LOL he quit residency because he can make bigger money and better for his health with RU-vid and counseling services

@@loclam6154 his main demographic are medical students , residents, and attendings. Him making bigger money and improving the current state of medical students and doctors lives go hand in hand

@@UneasyTortoise it's probably high school and college students, why tf would an attending doctor watch a video about getting into med school or which specialty is the best?

Is it really true ?

Psssst, it’s a secret 🤫

@@lamilumag it's fine they aren't very competitive

@@chanpiggy3938 Say it to hundreds of medical school graduates who end up completely unmatched each year. Nowadays all medical specialties can be called competitive.

delete this before the world finds out

Agreed! I just matched PM&R and thought for sure he’d talk more about it

Wouldn't orthopedics be a lifestyle surgical specialty like say if you worked at an outpatient sports medicine clinic?

You sound butthurt. The specialties you mentioned all have low pay compared to ROAD-E. Of course he's not gonna mention them.

You could always yourself go on and make your own video, right?

@@HelenoPaiva that is one of the worst criticisms I have ever heard...

Pay is 280k it’s getting higher most psych value lifestyle so they work less hours

Yeah, I heard about that through classmates at school.

he doesn't do vids like that lol. Also, the news from ACEP was based on the premise that there will be similar demand for EM in 2030 as it is now. I think demand will grow but overall I do think we'll have too many EM docs in the near future.

He no longer is a med student he quit his residency several years ago.

What is he doing now? What was the reason behind him leaving his residency?

Can't tell you what's like to be an oncologists since it's been only two weeks since starting fellowship, but I can tell you what I know about the field and the application process. HO obviously is a subspecialty of IM. It's a 3 year fellowship. There are some subspecialties, but all of them except for transplant is non-ACGME accredited. HO is very research focused because our understanding of cancer is still at its infancy. What this means is that we are making medical decisions largely based off clinical trials rather than application of physiology and molecular biology. I would love to tell you we know the exact mechanism of every cancer and have tools to combat these abnormalities, but the science is simply not there yet. This is a great career opportunity if your goals is to advance the practice of oncology. There are two spectrums of HO fellowship: research and clinical. If your goal is to organize physician initiated clinical trials (rather than drug company initiated), you are going to want to go to a more research focused institution. These are typically your most "prestigious" centers like MD Anderson, Sloan memorial, NIH, Farber-Dana, etc.. (it's actually Dana-Farber, but Dr. Sidney Farber is actually the physician-scientist that founded the institution and Dana is just the money people). These institutions are typically 18 months of learning HO, and then 18 months of research. If you only want to contribute to the field of oncology by enrolling patients to clinical trials or simply practice (without any focus on academia), you probably want to go to a clinically focused institution, where you are seeing patients 80-90% of your 3 years. To get into the fellowship, regardless of the type you choose, the strength of your application is demonstrating your commitment to research. I would argue the quality of your publication matters more than quantity, although there is a threshold of quantity as well. I would do maybe 7-10 things. These could be abstracts, posters, presentation, and obviously publications. I would have at least 1 first author paper or a co-author of a high impact journal. Letters only matter if the institution know the writer, which I would argue is one of the few reason why a training in a competitive residency is important. To sum up, HO is a truly Evidence Based Medicine, more so than any other field. It's an exciting, where the practice is constantly changing because of better understanding of oncology. You are also taking care of patients at their most vulnerable state, so you owe it to them to be the best doctor you can possibly be. If you want to contribute the science, go into a research focused fellowship. If you want to help as many people as much as possible now, go to a a clinically focused fellowship. If you want to do both, you can go to either one and see less patients but spend the rest of the time on enrolling patients to clinical trials. Get a feel for what you like. And if you know you want to be in academia, start setting yourself up now by getting a good step score, to go to a good IM residency, and start research now. Nothing shows commitment more than showing half a decade of research experience. This is a lot of information, and I hope it helps. haha. PS. There is a whole field of heme I ignored.

Family med?

@@rebecarus7261 Psychiatry

Psych

Exactly

@@AaAa-qq5wr indeed

Good luck!

Could you please elaborate? What is PM&R and why is it a good life style? I am considering medicine but I don’t know what to be

soaphops PM&R is physical medicine and rehabilitation. A simple way to think about it is a combination of non-op ortho and neurology. Working with stroke patients/brain injuries/spinal cord injuries is the neuro side. Sports medicine, joints, and pain management some of the ortho stuff. Because of the acuity of patients (usually always stable, in the process of rehab) there are very few emergencies and thus being on call is not as stressful or as intense. Most PM&R jobs out of residency are Monday through Friday with pretty regular hours. Even during residency the hours are not nearly as bad as other specialties.

@@jacobpereramd8094 thank you for replying! I will definitely look more into this speciality :)

Hey we got hunting accidents!

@@PrincesseKes Kinda depends on the region for that but I personally wouldn’t wanna be caught dead (in the truest sense of the expression) in hunting zones

What do you mean? Can you further elaborate on this please, genuinely curious :)

@@artsybirdy there is a chance if you or a loved one or family member ever get surgery. You will not have an anesthesiologist physician administering or even supervising your anesthesia,rather a nurse anesthetist. Just think about that for second. There is a chance if you go to a primary care office. you will not be treated by an Primary Care physician, rather a nurse practitioner. Nursing lobbies are pushing for independent practice WITHOUT real doctor supervision across the country and the general public is not aware.

he doesnt talk much about controversial topics on this channel

@@UneasyTortoise Wow. That doesn't sound good. I know Nurses want to be respected but that is not the way to go about it.

This is an issue, but unfortunately many Doctors have already sold their profession out. Scope creep is a problem because of Doctors being greedy along with large companies. When you prioritize money over your profession, this is the result. Its only going to get worse from now on.

Focus on getting in first. You’re too far removed to make any meaningful decision without seeing the specialties firsthand.

Good thinking with a clear understanding of how you want to spend your 50s. I am an final year medical student. Here are two things that you can consider while making your mind: 1. Work for people who don't have to get in line to reach you and you have minimum urgent care cases.... Sports medicine, palliative care, geriatrics, oncology, heamatology, 2. Choose speacialities in which you can be a social influencer or atleast have your own practice/business outside of hospital and clinical setup. Like the specialties with the scope of entrepreneurship. Like ENT, Psychiatry, ophthalmology, pathology, radiology, ..... By the way if you have any other ideas in mind, please let me know. 😅😊 Best of luck for your journey to be a good doctor 🎉

For real???

Yep

Do pediatricians get the same time off?

Hi doc. How's the finances as an hospitalist?

@@thenameisnanab2859 pediatric hospitalists might.

boring

100% I think the last part was the most important. Why go one of these lifestyle specialities when on your "downtime" you secretly wish you were doing something else
