Dr. Choi seems like such a down to earth person who’s passionate about others, despite the rigor and prestige of his job. The advice at the end was also very insightful and inspiring. Thank you Dr. Choi!

Dual doctor parents?!! Damn, their kids are not going to worry about college tuitions.

One of the best”day in the life”. Loved how he balances the demands on his time.

This job is literally the only reason I'm willing to study 6+ hours a day.

This is my favorite “Day in the Life” yet! Dr. Choi is so down to earth and relatable.

I love that you show him cleaning his kids toys at the beginning. Parent doctors are awesome! I am going to be a mom doctor one day! ❤️

I need to see: DAY IN THE LIFE OF A EMERGENCY MEDICINE DOCTOR

an orthopedic spine surgeon saved my life when i was 12 when i went into septic shock. i never got the chance to thank him, so i’d like to thank you. the work you do is incredible and i can’t imagine how difficult it must be. thank you for everything you do ♥️

What an admirable doctor and father. Great work as always, Kevin.

wow dr.choi seems like an awesome, caring doctor and just a general down to earth, relatable person. i wanna be this type of a doctor

I had an awesome spine surgeon here in Colorado Springs. Ruptured my L4-L5 dead-lifting and had horrible sciatica all the way down my left leg almost to the ankle. I couldn't sleep for 3 months (an hour here and there) and the only positions of relief were standing or sitting in a high back chair (Straight up). Ended up having a micro-discectomy Dec 23rd, 2016 and it was the best early Christmas gift ever! Instant relief as soon as I came around, recovery was about 4-5 months but now it's three years later and can do most of what I want. I don't do any lift that puts load on the back (deadlift or barbell squat) but have no issues running (10K is as far as I go). I feel very fortunate that we have the science and technology to make these kind of repairs to the human body, it was absolutely life changing!

I would love to see a day in the life of a cardiothoracic surgeon

Every orthopedic surgeon I know is a boss 💪

I just wanna say how cool this video was, an accurate interpretation of what it takes to become an orthopedic surgeon whilst giving some visuals of certain surgeries. Not to mention your down to earth personality! I look up to you as the type of person I want to be if I make it as an Orthopedic surgeon. Thanks for the amazing video!

This has got to be one of my favorite 'Day in the Life' videos so far. Keep up the great work!

Wow, he's one of the most humble and human surgeons I've seen. I hope he stays this way over his career

Dr. Choi is a swell guy, he gave great advice at the end of the video also. These videos provide a great perspective for medical students.

Dr. Choi is amazing. Been following him on instagram for awhile now and his passion for medicine and helping others is truly inspiring. Thank you for the advice at the end, the world truly needs more doctors like him!

I’m an aspiring future doc and have been able to scribe for an orthopedic spinal surgeon for the past two months. It’s such a cool subspecialty and always nice to see the carryover of standard methods between clinical practices. Dr. Choi seems like an awesome guy too

I could never be more great for my orthopedic surgeon! The work you guys do is absolutely amazing. Life changing. Thank you!

Can you do a day in the life of a pathologist

Dr. Choi didn’t mention how he’s TikTok famous

The Backbreaking work of an Orthopedic Surgeon

Thank you SO MUCH for these Day in the Life videos. I am taking the MCAT soon after months of prep, and these videos always remind me and keep me aligned with why it is that I do what I do. Dr. Choi seems like a great person and doctor. Cheers!

Spine surgeons are heroes. They dedicate their lives to helping fix people and saving peoples lives. I admire and I value this occupation. Amazing people.

This is exactly the path I want my life to follow. Please pray 🤲 that I get there. Thank you

I had spinal surgery done by my spinal surgeon “Dr. Michael Shapiro” from “Orlin & Cohen” in “Rockville Centre, NY”. After being in pain management for ten years, I was at the point of going on disability, I couldn’t take the pain any longer. It is the kind of pain that is exhaustive and no matter how strong of a person you are mentally, it will literally bring to the point of just giving up on life. My spinal surgeon Dr. Shapiro after looking at my MRI results, he advised me that I should get spine surgery done because I two extremely Herniated Disc in my lower back. I didn’t give it second thought, most people would be apprehensive about having spinal surgery. I did not care, I just wanted the pain to stop once and for all. I was given two choices, I can go with the old fashion “Disc Fusion Surgery” Or I can try the more modern “Synthes ProDisc Replacement.” System of removing the diseased disc replacing it with medical grade plastic and titanium acting as artificial disc. After doing some research, I took the more modern and advance “Synthes Pro-Disc System”. And after recovering from surgery (Which took about two months) my lower back is back to the way it was back in my younger days. I am fully functional with my lower back and more importantly my pain has gone from a ten down to an one on the pain scale. Instead of taking 90 mg of the Avinza (Time Released Morphine) and sometimes taking the 50 mcg patch of fentanyl (Which made me extremely sick) for the pain. I now take 1000 mg of Tylenol twice a day. I have new lease on life and I have been to start working again and I have returned to being the breadwinner of my family. Chronic Pain is tough road to travel on. Whatever condition that you suffering from, if there is a surgical solution for the cause of your pain. Do your research, surround yourself with competent specialists and say a little prayer for yourself. You have nothing to lose but the pain and the dependency on narcotic pain medication. Thank God for Doctors like Dr. Choi and Dr. Michael Shapiro. They help patients return to living a high quality life. They gave you an extra chance to live your life to the fullest each day with their expertise and of course with God’s help, everything will work out for the best. I hope my story can help someone else with their chronic pain. I have been there and I know what you are going through, May God make it easier for you my fellow chronic pain suffers.

Dr dad and a spine surgeon with humble nature …… thats really motivating doc..

Dream job! I have two kids, so it’s really refreshing to see a physician couple as parents. So excited for my future!

Your note at 10:44 was essential. Thank you for mentioning this, it definitely changed my perspective!

I’ve wanted to be an orthopedic surgeon since 7th grade, I am now a high school sophomore and still want to pursue this career. Thank you for this amazing information on what is hopefully going to be my future!!!

He is the happiest Surgeon I've ever seen.

This was one of the more insightful/helpful 'Day in the Life' videos. Thank you for this and thank you Dr. Choi for being so open about your day-to-day life!

Thanks Dr. Choi for sharing your day and for giving great advice. You are very respectable. Much appreciated!

Surgeons like Dr. Choi are the reason i want to be a surgeon when im older. This was so cool to watch!!

This guy seems to be such a down to earth and cool person...Nice that he helps and does things around the house. God bless him and his family.

Great video as always Dr Jubbal! Could you do day of life of a neurosurgeon or plastic surgeon?

I love how he is so positive!

This is cool to watch and learn about. I’ve had two spinal fusions, the first one was just a bone graft and it ended up not holding. My second one was 7 months later and now I have rods and screws from L4-S1. (Original injury was L5 pars fracture). 2 spine surgeries at 18 sucks

So cool this is what I’m going to study in college I love the medical field

that advice in the end in pure gold. Thank you so much for sharing.

Can you please make a day in the of a NEONATOLOGIST! Not many people know who they are and I think it would be a very enlightening and informative video!

Man his smile is so contagious!

As a CNA/ Tech that work on a orthopedic floor,I was surprise how many people have spinal surgery done.These surgeons get PAID!

Nice to see that surgeons can have a life outside of the hospital and that they are still able to take care of their family

Oy oy oy I love surgeons and admire them so much! I aspire to become a surgeon one day too. Nice vdo doctor! Thanks 👏💙

I used to wanted to tackle such a field but too much schooling and the field of work is really competitive. I prefer Police work, hence forth my father’s work. I think I now found my potential. Nothing will stop me from noticing the sacrifices Doctor’s make and every field of work that helps modifies people’s needs for a better tomorrow. God bless you.

I like that you guys in the US have your names on your coats/scrubs, we don't get to wear white coats in the UK because of 'infection control'...PS: this was a really good insight into the day in the life of an orthopedic surgeon!

A day in the life of an Oral & Maxillofacial surgeon would be great!

rheumatology is gaining popularity, its about time for a day in the life of a (newer) rheumatologist.

This man and his wife are goals. Thanks for the vid!

Love your videos kevin. Can you have a segment on day in the life of an interventional cardiologist. Thanks .

omg the beginning part is so adorable!!

I need to see the day when Dr Jubba links up with Dr. Webb (spins fellow) 😊

Dr. Choi Advice 10:44 👌🏿

Thank you for sharing. The time you take to explain the procedures is very straight forward.

Love this video!! Great advice shared here, I'm glad I came across this, please make more 👌

Wonderfully talented people. God bless them and such a rewarding career saving lives.

This was great! Thank you for your time.

This dude is raw

I Admire successful hard working people. Bravo

I would like to see a day in the life of a cardiothoracic surgeon

Huge respect for all surgeons awsome video, iv had a discectomy and a anterior posterior fusion

Can you please do a day in a life of a emergency medicine physician

God Bless you and your family Dr!

9:28 lmao the guy texting in the back

I wish the doctor I went to had been this thorough. Had he been, he would have caught that I suffered a neck fracture as a kid in a head on motorcycle collision. After years of it being this way my head is now frozen in place. I have zero movement. I can't drive anymore. My c1-2 are damaged and I have instability. I can't have it fixed now.

I love these videos... keep it up❤️👏🏻

A great role model and speaker

Great video! I enjoyed the advice at the end!

Dr. Choi has my dream job one day ill be called Dr. Yang.

I loved this segment! So well rounded and down to earth! Could there also be a day in the life of a psychiatrist?

Awesome! GOD BLESS You. Thank You For What You DO

Watched your vid for 10 sec, I feel like being a better person already

Been waiting so long for this! AWESOME!

This is a doctor I would choose hands down! As a provider I look for bedside manners more than anything else.

bro when he said "grinding to become a good scienteist" at 11:20 you have absolutely how much of a profound effect that sentence had on me i believed him i wish I can become a good scienteist. omg

I worry that I won't have enough time for my children.

Not gonna lie I kind of ignored the whole video and just starred at his fresh cut omg god.

Poor guy already looks tired at 10am. Definitely working super hard!

Thought for sure this was gonna be Dr. Antonio Webb... WRONG! Still great tho, loved Dr. Choi

This just motivated me to go study. Future neurosurgeon here.

Future idea if you havnt already done it, peadatric surgery. I'm premed right now and that's what I want to

A day in the life of family doctors/GP!! I always have the impression that all they do is see and talk to patients throughout the day. Is it boring?

Do cardiothoracic surgeon

I really want to see "Day in the Life of A Neurosurgeon"

Watching this from my MedSchool

"Imagine what it's gonna feel like in ten years" hmm... I'll be starting clinical rotations as a 3rd-year medical student👍😅

Its been a minute!!! I loved the video!!! :) Also, I would love to see a day in the life of a dermatologist

Could you have some nontraditionals on your channel talking about their journey?

Love the mineola footage at the beginning of the video

omg this is my dream job!! I saw it and clicked it SOOO fast XD

Good stuff Doc! Enjoyed watching!

Loved the video! Pls do one called Day In The Life Of A Neurosurgeon!

os comentarios finais me deixaram mais empolgada doque um jaleco branco... "a great scientist" meu coração bateu mais rapido

hi, this may sound like a dumb question but I currently attend George Washington university and I am in the pre med program, I am doing well in classes but struggling in some and not always getting great grades. I always get self doubt that I am not smart enough to become a doctor or yet go to medical school and I just wanted to get some in put by a surgeon yourself if my self doubt is reasonable or not. should I be getting straight As on every assignment or Is it ok that I don't always ace everything that I do. My goal Is to become a neurosurgeon and I know I have a long way to go but what you do motivates me and if I hear back from you that would be amazing. Have a nice night!

Do a neurosurgery one

He seems like an awesome surgeon!

Awesome video!! You are really inspiring!
