This is awesome. I feel like Dr. Cellini’s channel has slowly been building up to this moment over the last year, and now it’s finally happening. Happy to have witnessed this awesome journey and I look forward to seeing your IR career continue unfolding!
I’ve had 3 Covid tests. One was all the way up in my brain and made me scream (she left it in there for 15 seconds and kept twisting), the next was much easier, didn’t go so far up and was quicker, and the last was a throat swab. Makes you wonder the effectiveness of the 3 different methods.
I'm happy you had a productive first day. All that you described is what learning in all about. It's important to have these experiences so that you are reminded what is it like to not know something, simply because it's new. It's a reminder to show grace and understanding to medical students and interns when you encounter them. Congratulations !
Congrats man!! So jealous! Shouted you out in my 1st year of residency recap video. Was watching you on downtime during call 😜 thanks for keeping me entertained on those tediously long shifts when the notes are done and there’s miraculously no pages
Currently a 2nd year premed student at Georgia State! Just want to say that your videos really motivate in continuing to work hard in school. I love how you vlog on non-medical things! It really shows you as a whole and I love it bro. Wishing you the best for your fellowship and beyond!
Great video! It’s awesome seeing all of you great young docs starting your next phase. Keep it up. It is worth it - your friendly neighborhood psychiatrist
It's sooooo exciting!!!! You're so so hard working Sir ! I dream of Matching into Radiology too and I love Interventional Radiology! Thank you Dr. Cellini and thank you to your wife too for working as a Frontline in these times of crisis 🙏
I had surgery right when hospitals opened up again so of course, I had to be COVID tested. It was fast and relatively painless. Good Luck as you finish the final journey. You are going to be awesome!
Awww... what happened to your old theme song? Loved hearing the old theme song on 2x speed. Anyways, this is pretty cool - that a doctor who is so many years into his training can still feel that they have a steep learning curve in their new role. Keep learning Dr. Cellini, good luck!
It is pretty crazy that countries can build subways like that. In London they have huge drilling machines the size of houses drilling under London, below other tube lines and skyscrapers .... amazed.
Do you have a video explaining the whole process of becoming a doctor? For example, what bachelor's degree should be aimed for , what medical schools to apply for , how to get accepted , what comes after medical school and what happens during residency/fellowship?
I donated blood about a week ago. I got a letter in the mail from the center saying the blood was tested for COVID antibodies. It was negative. I sorta wish I had the antibodies, but oh well. Everyone should try to donate. While there has always been a need for blood donations, they are really hurting now. I was told the bulk of donations came from school blood drives. Due to schools being closed, they are in need more than ever.
What is there to wrap your head around? Wear scrubs into the hospital, change into hospital scrubs, then change back into the scrubs I wore into the hospital and leave....not that difficult
My mom was recently tested for Co-vid 19 and they just did a throat saliva sample. She was tested for surgery so I'm surprised they don't have that there in New York.
Really appreciate this day in the life vlog. More of this vlogs please, and can you tell us more about the procedures please. It would be interesting to know more about the procedures you've mentioned in this video doc, for example the embolization procedure.
I work in a hospital up in Qc and tombe honest, our health care system in qc is so archaic and backwards. Would you say hospitals in big cities like NYC use old systems, writing prescriptions by hand, progess notes by hand? Still use fax machines? I am very curious to know how different it is from us. Let me know if you have a chance. *very much enjoying your videos Thx
I commend you for saying you don’t feel comfortable discharging or electronically signing prescriptions..I’m a cath lab nurse and so many times the doc just submits a blank discharge summary since they don’t know how 🙄
Can you do a video of radiology technician tips? Like what you like and don't like about what they do and pointers for someone (me) who is going into it, to then get a degree in radiation therapy then continue to be a diagnostic radiologist. I would love some pointers.
I love my mx master! I have the mx master 2s (the predecessor to the mx master 3) and absolutely love it! The scroll wheel is programmable, in which is extremely nice! I It is nice when I am scrolling through tabs and looking at different online journals/articles to write a research paper!
You're going to emerge as one of the MOST SORT AFTER INTERVENTIONAL RADIOLOGISTS *IN THE WORLD* SIR !!! As you work insanely hard and you are very cool and calm too . 👍
Two questions: 1) does fellowship increase your salary potential sufficiently enough to cover the higher salary forfeited during the fellowship? 2) how does the salary of a fellow compare to that of a resident in their final year?
salary goes up every year of training in residency/fellowship by a little bit. NYC residents/fellows get paid a little more to be able to cover the increased cost of living...though still not enough!
Since you're a fellow when you're performing any procedure, is there a doctor/higher up watching over the whole time? Stupid question but I was jw since you said you know how to do most of it not all
Dr. Cellini, I’m almost done with x-ray school. Can you make a video about xray techs? Perhaps you can talk about if there is anything specific you appreciate about us or something you wish we could do to help your job be easier?
How is the IR table going to look? Will there be you a attending and then the tech for the procedures or just you and a tech with a attending in a other room?
Interested in getting a pair of lead goggles, do you know a good place to order one? Not interventional but we do a decent amount of fluoro at my program
Hi I recently started watching you're channel cause I am interested in radiology I'm only 14 but I think it's best if I can make a decision on what I want to do now anyway I have a good question here it is, if I wanted to go to medical school does it really matter what my undergrad was I want to do engineering cause I get a bachelor of science and a bachelor of engineering because I think science is something that would appeal to medical schools so i can get a good scholarship and engineering gives me something to fall back on just in case medical school doesn't work out. Anyway here's 2 follow up questions does my plan sound good and if not what are some suggestions and what did you take for you're undergrad
Hi Matthew, I figured I'd reply to you since no one has yet! I'm applying this fall switching careers from being a software developer, hoping to do IR some day. Assuming you're in North America, most medical schools value all bachelor's degrees equally, so what's most important is that you get a degree in something you are interested in, along with a couple other things. 1. Most medical schools do require about 8 prerequisite classes. It's important to make sure you have these by the end of your degree. It's also very possible to complete several of these while you're in high school, either through AP or through a community college (not all medical schools will accept AP though). I personally got through half of my prereqs in high school just because I knew I wanted to do science and had the opportunity to do AP. The classes you will most likely need are: 2 semesters biology, 2 semesters general chemistry, 1 or 2 semesters organic chemistry, and 2 semesters physics. Some schools also require other things like: biochemistry, statistics, psychology, sociology, or English. The first 4 subjects I listed (+ biochem) also line up with the content of the MCAT exam, so they are good to take anyway. Depending on the school, engineering programs don't always have space for electives and may not contain all those courses needed to get into med school so it's worth maybe reading some sample course lists from engineering schools you're interested in. 2. Try to be involved in research while you are an undergrad if you can, ideally as early as possible (research moves slowly, so you'll learn a lot more from a couple years than from 6 months). Biomedical engineering might be a really good fit for you. But, research in any field is a very good thing to have for medical school. The best way to get involved in this is by working or volunteering in a lab, which you can often get involved in by talking to one of the professors you have a class with or your department undergraduate advisor. Or, there may also be some work study jobs available. 3. Along the same lines, if you are in the U.S. you will have to do quite a bit of shadowing doctors or other clinical experience (like working or volunteering in a hospital) in order to get into school. 4. Follow your passion and do things you are interested in. Other than the exams, prereq courses, and clinical shadowing requirements, getting into medical school is similar to getting into a competitive school for undergrad: you need to have some extracurriculars or interests (these can be anything, but should be things you actually care about), good grades, and it helps to have both good critical thinking skills and good social skills to do well in interviews. As you get older, the other thing I wish I had done earlier on in life is to pay attention to what you do and don't like/value about each job you do, even if it's just waiting tables or mowing lawns. This will help you decide which career is best for you (do you like working with people/strangers, helping people, working with your hands, being inside vs. outside, working on a team, traveling for work, regular vs. odd hours, etc) I also think it's great that you're thinking about a backup career already - you never know where life will take you, and I'm sure you'll grow and change a lot between now and when you graduate university. Software development was originally my backup career for becoming a professor/researcher... I decided to try it out before going to grad school, and I'm glad I did. It turns out now I know that I'd rather be doing something else than development (though I can always get a job as a developer again if I need to), and I had some time to realize that my original grad school plans are not exactly what I want to do with my life either, I want to go into medicine. (I personally think medicine has all the attributes that attracted me to software/engineering and also all the things I loved about research/academia, which I wouldn't have realized if I didn't continue pursuing both of those things) Hope this long response was helpful to you in some way! Best of luck in your studies!
Can you please teach some stuff about interventional radiology ?? that would be very interesting for those of us who follow the channel because we are interested in interventionism
Yea I had to get tested twice for covid19 and they did the nose swab! It’s literally awful!!! I ended up having COVIDNL63. Which is like a different strand of covid19 or whatever. I don’t really know but I was super sick. Took 8 weeks to recover. The vomiting was the worst it gets so bad to the point I was even vomiting my own bile and couldn’t swallow. I even threw up water every time it was given to me . which was crazy so ended up super dehydrated and had to have my heart monitored cuz it was beating SO fast. Like overly beating... Definitely don’t want to catch the virus again. 😳
