Always wanted to pursue Gastroenterology because it has a mix of both medicine and surgery (due to minimally invasive procedures involved) That clean colon thing really helped :D
Also having a ton of GI problems, even getting a fecal transplant and recently a rectal surgery, this is really inspiring to help other people in my condition. Currently a 19 yo EMT in Utah and I want to pursue medicine, but this video really helped shed some light, thank you
I was really considering GI and after watching this video, it just confirmed why I like it. I also watched your GI video on your personal channel and liked some of the points you brought up!
Ver well done. Some errors I noticed. 1. "Cirrhoses" should be cirrhosis. 2. Nissen fundoplication is a surgical fundoplication. Endoscopic fundoplication is termed trans oral incisonless fundoplication (TIF) 3. Several other procedures not mentioned: Liver biopsy, paracentesis, wireless pH monitoring placement, variceal banding, EMR, ESD, plenty more.
Thank you doctor and we are proud of your achievements !! I was suffering from mucuos, stool in blood and get diagnoses Ulcerative colitis and allopathic medicines are not a permanent solution for this but thank god my cousin told me to follow a strict diet chart and take ulcerative colitis care pack of planet ayurveda along that am taking for last 5 months and my symptoms are almost finished and am living a healthy life.
I want to be a gastroenterologist, while currently I'm a GP, i sometimes assist in colonoscopies. There was this patient once with a very bad prep and the theatre smelled awful and we cancelled the procedure as the colon couldn't be properly visualized. Other than that one time, colonoscopies aren't all that bad, other than few farts here and there, if the patient prepped well. Thanks for the vid!
As an introverted pre-med student who's in love with medicine, watching all these videos are heart-breaking knowing that most of the exciting and fulfilling jobs out there involve so much extroversion. I've been told that I could never become a doctor because it would be like swimming up stream, and that in the end of the day, I'd be more emotionally exhausted than I am academically considering the amount of patient and team interaction. Please do a video for fields in medicine where introverts are most likely to succeed--whether as doctors or some other specialty.
There’s not really many I’m a bit of a introvert too but I am able to communicate a lot and well for work and study. He once said in a video that you have to be able to communicate a lot and well to be a doctor. There is no non commutative one. But for most jobs that rings true you can’t really be to yourself. I suggest taking breaks not to burn out and learn more communication stamina if it’s absolutely too hard being a doctor might not be for you.
Don't forget to mention that many of them also become jaded from patient interactions and difficult to work with for any other specialty in the hospital. It's a hard specialty, and it shows. I'm not even trying to throw shade at GI--several gastroenterologists themselves have told me that they feel like the specialty train you to be robot-like and judges you solely by how many scopes/procedures you can do basically. I think it's important that anyone interested in gastroenterology be aware of these downsides.
I spent a long time in the hospital for my big intestine. It really was interesting and got me to thinking. Piano teacher or GI doctor? Or both? It’s hard.
Your the most education channel I have seen in past years. I love the content! I have been looking into gastronology to study the gut and ibs / chrones and I'm wondering if there is a smaller career path to get there besides doing 12 years then to specialize in just the gut. I'm not interested in throat and the other avenues of the field. I'm not educated in the schooling sciences. Is there a different science/ doctoret for just focusing on gut?
If someone is suffering with indigestion, acid reflux and sensitive to certain foods, is it better to seek the help of a dietitian or a gastroenterologist first? The someone is me and I know this video isn’t really for answering questions like this but I felt like it wouldn’t hurt to ask
