Why Becoming A Doctor Isn't Worth It (Med School REALITY) 

Rura Muchenga omg lol but tru

That only happens because you don't know how to manage your game

@Kade Amos Are a bot?

@Finnley Jairo definitely the same person

@@killer_bird1584 both are bots

EXACTLY!

like what ?...... what else has the same earning potential?.......... please don’t say investment banking lol

Not with the same security and earning potential

Dimitri J and Peter McLaurin, what he means is that there are other ways to become rich and earn the same as doctors but it takes time don't expect it like overnight but you will have more work/life balance and enjoy your salary not like doctors/lawyers/CEOs who make a shit ton of money but don't have time to use it and the ones who have free time don't make the big bucks, so if you wanna be rich and happy become a youtuber/actor/athlete.

@@Ranvirgrewal2792 being a sucessful youtuber/actor/athelete is even less realistic and more challenging than being a doctor though.

Doctors disengage, they may feel down, but "trauma"... no.

@@TheOHenry666 really?

Something important to learn if you become a doctor or nurse is that you never lose a life. It was meant go since the beginning and you tried to stop it, but it was inevitable. And yes to the comment on top. That is why you should become a doctor for passion and no money. Some people are born this way and experience shock or stress, but not trauma out of that.

@@TheOHenry666 nurses as well

Dunno. Some patients are folks like Richard Kuklinisi. There's more relief than trauma in losing a patient like that

Do what makes you happy!

Could be a nurse practitioner if you want

DO NOT DARE DO WHAT THEY WANT YOU TO DO. DO NOT let yourself be pressured. They should be finding out what YOU really want. Not the other way around.

That's usually how it is, your parent's usually have peers who kids are doctors, lawyers, etc. Now your parents feels insecure talking to their friends cuz you aren't a doctor/lawyer.

Yea my parents r like this but I’m being a doctor to spite them. My parents don’t think anything is wrong with being a doctor just that your being too altruistic. Most doctors are just risk adverse people who want status.

Youre an idiot! MY DOCTOR is the fantasy i see! He’s fucking awesome, speaks English and Spanish! He’s in private practice, has everybody’s business, and was great during his time at the hospital! Not all of us wanna work tirelessly to be a doctor because “glamorous television”. DERP. This is the same for prolific surgeons, crafty lawyers, or mighty tv businesspeople… pianists, etc. People wanna be them to be awesome, and that’s the highest achievement. Multi-tradespeople of excellence. The ones who know and survive. Scholars. All while making people’s lives more charming - including the world. If I wanted to be what i saw on television, i’d be a ganster !! Or GTA character! Please, continue to sob out your failures 🧾🙍🏻 because you werent able to become Greys Anatomy 😭

Getting top speciality is dependent on being top of the class?

@@GALAXYREALM yep. It plays a big role. That and board scores

I have wanted to become a doctor for so long but it just doesn’t seem worth it since there are many exams and if you fail ONE then you’re done. It is such a risk because if you fail out of medical school what are you going to do?

@@avabrown1326 depends on the school. US schools often help remediate you. Carrib schools, you're SOL.

Hello, I think I have the right ***********. I read an article about your conversation with ***************, was that you? I wanted to share some of my findings with you about racism, discrimination and its origins. In particular the current situation around the globe. People all think these incidents are one off occurrences by individuals but the truth is they have a large foundation and I keep reminding people about some history with Roman Catholics in Africa way back from Caesar in Egypt to Mussolini gassing Africans in the 1920 before ww2 and even the ebola outbreak in West African diamond mines and so many other events. Maltese and Italians moving into Tripoli and Libya pushing Africans out onto boats but Malta and Italy closing their borders to refugees.... You also have to realize and consider that the Roman Catholic empire has deeply established roots throughout history and humanity especially considering they have wiped out opposition through genocide, ethnic cleansing, famine and wars. Not only do they cause famines but they then ask everyone else for money to supposedly save them so people who want to help actually help the instigator not the victim. Dr Faucci ties into all of this with his 1980 aids projects. Medicating Africans making them sick while appealing for funds claiming to help them. Italian. Biggest mobs and industries and that's how they do it, and St Johns medical military Maltese and Jewish establishment. They kill people off to take assets and estates while rounding up people who want to help their victims claiming money and funds telling them they are on it. This is the deception and everyone is locked down and isolated and divided and can't do anything about it. They also own the communications, and media, police, courts etc so they can quickly identify and deal with any opposition. This is what happened on 9/11. It was a diversion, it was a way to clear out any defence who wasn't with them and focus it against other opposition. They evicted the defence force and sent them to die and those that didnt were stopped from coming back by medical with claims of PTSD and suicides. Medical military roman catholic. It's bigger than you think.

You're right! The point is only people who are passionate about medicine should be doctors

Agreed

We need more medical schools. This will increase the amount of doctors.

Exactly, especially in Canada. That's what motivates me..I have a passion anyways and don't care about the money

@@phillewis3180 No we need more residency positions. The bottleneck is in residencies not med school admissions...

preach

become a doctor because you want to heal people and help people. We already have enough shitty doctors. I can read tons of info online and come up with a diagnose and these damn doctors spend 5 minutes with a patient and come up with a wrong diagnosis

@@IAMYUNGGAF I can't afford it and I don't believe in our education systems fidelity

Totally agree, money is just a piece of the puzzle

This is an incredible sentiment, thank you for the comment! I want to be a doctor and I struggle with an anxiety disorder. I always have to tell myself that no matter what job I choose there will be stress, so I might as well go for it.

"privilege" is theirs to be treated by such intelligent humans.

But you can take care of patients without being a doctor…

"It's a privilege to be a slave and a delusional sucker" - wow, I'd love to be your employer, you seem like an easy tool to exploit 😆

@@myutube4realz Yeah but let's not forget we need people like this or we would all be screwed. It's great to see others go through this struggle so that we can get taken care of. I couldn't be him.

Chasing money will only make you miserable as a doctor, also I live in NY you would go broke trying to get a $5 million dollar house even with a doctors salary because of NYC taxes. If all you want is money there are much better careers that can pay just as much without all that school

@@IncomeOverOutcome Thank you so much for this advice. My friend is insistent but I want to let her be realistic about her career and not just go for the money like you said. I definitely understand what your saying but my friend doesn't. :( I will make her come to her senses. Also, what videos can I watch from you that list some potential alternatives to recommend to my friend.

Your friend is very naive and obviously has not shadowed physicians. Link her this video and if she's smart she will recognize that money absolutely cannot be the driving force behind her career decision.

Her parents are so toxic I hope they let her do what she loves 💘

don't worry, someone dumb enough to not understand 10th grade chemistry will never make it to Med School. She'll immediately fail and then she can go on to do whatever it is she's adequate for. It'll be a tough impact, but for intellectually inept people most of life is tough no matter what.

Are you Indian by any chance?

😢😢😢😢

Hello, it's been a year. Are you a doctor now? Has your feelings about medicine changed? I'm considering med school, if you could give me some advice it would be great.

Robots are coming baby

Robots are going to replace every other job EXCEPT medicine. That's because, unlike your job, medicine is not algorythmic. Enjoy unemployment, baby 😁

@@keshavop Robots do not have the capacity to replace the human brain, any time soon

@@beabea5985 doctors overrated...just another replaceable job nothing special or great... poor service and charge a heck of alot of money

@@q_q123 dont need a brain to be doc...just ROTE learners

Then you should definitely do it :)

@@IncomeOverOutcome so you’re saying that even if I’m learning to be doctor or a nurse I shouldn’t for own sake? I’m trying to become a practical nurse so I think they both are way different

facts

Are you really "helping" people though? Unless you are high-stakes surgeon or oncologist most people recover by themselves or die

First year med student here. You go kid!! Don’t let anyone stifle that inspiration, but make sure you continue to test the waters as the field of medicine evolves. Best of luck, your initiative will take you far no matter what you do.

If you're passionate about something you should 100% go for it!! All about planning :)

Same here .....Being a doctor ( gastrologist) is my aim, dream and goal .. I am an IX grader and i am almost ahead to start my dream . # Respect and Save Doctors.....they are sacrificing their life from 12 th and ahead . ........

Pls guys those who feel my comment is correct...then smash a like

you very likely won't

It's all streamlined. 45 at most

The problem is, they forget to care for themselves.

I really am considering to medicine, I just want a healthy work like balance. I’m probably considering Family Medicine but I’m not sure

You totally nailed it!!!

true, aldo doctor can negociate how many hours and days will they work and make their own work life balance, right?

I like that Idea!

Agreed! It’s also just a function of finances. In the US med school costs a LOT, so it wouldn’t be realistic to become a doctor if the salary didn’t pay off. Even if you love the job, few people would be willing to pursue it if the salary didn’t pay off.

@@Ella-Elj Why does everyone think think that med school is the only school that costs a lot of money? There are many other professions in which their schooling also costs a lot, but the salaries provided to them would make paying off their school loans a lot more difficulty because of the wider gap.

Man just do it! I might need a brain surgery one day!

You only pay 20% in tax and get to take home $56,000? Americans are rich… here we have to pay a lot more tax and our average salary is much lower

@@david9840 Its closer to 25 after combining state and federal but thats in Kentucky. In other states like California its closer to 40%.

@@ShadraqsVids16 Are you married?

And I agree with your Aunt.

How long will it take for you to pay it off?

@@Brandon-vv2oe With how much I'm paying now, many years (~15 years). I am going to be making some changes in my life, which may make it take longer to pay off my loans too :/. Also, I have been investing in other things, this year besides paying off my loans :o :/. I know I shouldn't depend on this, but I really, REALLY hope PSLF goes through

even if I did not have to worry about tuition or I had the academics I still would not even think about becoming a doctor or anything in medicine, because its stressful, exhausting, its all paperwork, and you don't get to enjoy your salary. I don't wanna discourage anyone but that's the reality of the real world, and the cons literally vaporize the pros in my opinion.

@@Ranvirgrewal2792 Exactly. The only day you have guaranteed is today, why be sad and depressed for at least eight straight years of med school + residency?

Don’t do anything if you would be miserable doing it everyday for 30+ years

@@IncomeOverOutcome Thank you for the advice

Yah I get annoyed when people say if you become a doctor or a lawyer or a musician you are automatically successful. No we are all successful no matter your career even if you work at a call center. I worked at a call center an its important we help customers that needs help on they situation. I want to be a lawyer not because of the money or Because it will put respect on my name or because of success. I actually want to help an make a difference. I wanted to help because I was inspired by 2pac when he was in situation with the law an saw how he was innocent. An he went to jail. I wanted to make a difference an actually cares bout the victims. Every job is important an they is a need to be met. If you're doing things for success or money u will become self centered an for get the purpose an miss the mark. An you will become miserable at your job. An feel unsuccessful because the money you get is not what you expected 💯

Agreed!

That’s probably a good thing. A lot of people have a formal education mindset, and not too many go their way to research and try to make money on their own.

I agree

I agree. Please look at my comment I made on this video.

I’m assuming it’s factoring in student loan debt and missed opportunity cost.

Not true. The human body is a very, very complex machine, there's 7 billion of them and they all behave differently. The first 5 years of medicine is needed for you to acquire the gigantic amount of theoretical knowledge about every single aspect of the human body, from the biophysics of electrolite pumps, to the function of cytochromes, through every single structure that every single nerve, muscle and bloodvessel goes through, what it crosses and what it passes, to the treatment of early onset dementia and the red tape regarding drug refundation. It's not IT, where you basically need to know nothing before you start working, and there are no stakes because what you do isn't really meaningful - you need to understand how and why EVERYTHING works in this machine before you even touch it. That's why it takes so long, because it's tens of thousands of pages of information that you have to be able to access in your brain at any given time, or you won't understand how to treat an ailment, why the drug didn't work, what can be the adverse effect, what to do next. And yeah, by comparison, every other job is easier to learn and requiring less intellect than medicine. The GP has an ocean of information to navigate, and learning this job cannot take 4 years. It's not being a potato salesman.

@@beabea5985 1. Tech is progressing substantially, AI is already helping providers with medical decisions. 2. Our education system is set up by cramming as much info as it can into our heads by having us memorize text books, that's not learning hence many providers don't start learning until residency, until then you're jumping through hoops. I work along side providers and a main stream EMR every day as a clinical informatics analyst, I've spoken with many caregivers on this subject. Main consensus is that caregivers don't start learning until they're on the job through residency, clinicals, etc. I didn't start learning my job until I was thrown into the fire. Many providers today are practicing without knowing every single little thing about their specialty, shit I've walked in on providers looking procedures up on YT to learn how to do something before they do the procedure themselves. Or using applications like Up to date on how to treat something. Not saying to totally get rid of college or med school and go straight to apprenticeship programs, but school needs a huge overhaul because again, 90% of it is totally worthless outside of the academia bubble.

Most people only go because of peer/parental pressure. And not realizing there are other jobs out there that offer better work-life balance and still good enough salary.

If it's for you go for it!

This is a good idea!

Nurses have to work SUPER hard, at least you aren't in as much debt though

@@IncomeOverOutcome agree!

@@Jordan_Dossou congrats

Where do you work ?

@@machoman616 automotive component manufacturing

go back to community college dude. get you ADN because it doesn't matter--experience does. These travel nurses make $9K a week and more during strikes. follow people on IG. a lot of nurses are open about their pay. you're young--take this advice I promise you'll be way ahead of me and folks older than you

​@@JT-tx2ns what's you thought about nursing ?

Nope. Take it from someone who used to be a doctor in Europe - the pay is incredibly measly, the lawsuits are on the rise, and now that the pandemic is in full bloom, they frequently get harassed and even assaulted by patients, plus property damage and the fact that some governments make the medical workers the number one enemy of society and solely blame them for mishandling the pandemic - and you've got your answer. Do not do it. It's an ungrateful, humiliating job that, unlike, say IT, will always require you to have almost no self respect and force you to be around unwashed, smelly, sick people, many of who hate you right away and would love nothing more than to watch you fail. You will also be forced to watch as your childhood friends make more money off their dumbass TikToks than you just did resuscitating a newborn. Please, don't do it. It shaves years off your life, years that nobody's gonna give you back. I became a graphic designer and have never looked back since.

I think it's a good alternative to avoid student loans. When you'll get your degree you can just go back to the US or anywhere else and make that money. I think it's a smart choice.

No. Europe doctors get paid a lot less than American doctors. Even though there’s student debt, US physicians get paid 3 times as much as a British and French doctor.

They're some of the lowest paid and more overworked

Wow, I’m sorry. Push through! So many people have quit before they could even get to where you are. Good luck and I hope you can find some enjoyment in your career!❤️

Same here dude. I feel trapped now with these loans.

@@greg-iw7mf do you actually regret going into medicine?

@@dentaladdict98 Yes and no. It’s hard work and it’s frustrating. At the same time, it’s fulfilling and beautiful. I am speaking as a PA but this is the sentiment among doctors as well. Medicine is a love-hate relationship. People outside of this field don’t understand how it feels. On one hand, it’s stressful, exhausting, and frustrating. On the other hand, the privilege of taking care of patients is deeply moving and gratifying. So if you ask a physician or PA if they regret it… the answer is yes and no.

sorry for your loss...shud have chosen a better job than doc

Optometry definitely has have better work life balance, pediatricians still have to be on call but the overall work life balance is definitely better than more specialized paths, like surgeons.

docs rarely help people...they make disease worse and patients are over charged for the crap service....not service just bunch of prescriptions from google given by the doc

Good idea!

@@IncomeOverOutcome Any updates?

Pretty similar to the points made in this video, you work less hours but still dont do it just for the money

Facts, that's why accounting was one of the best business majors I spoke about int his video ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-6Hm1SlbdU8Y.html

For all these medical fields it comes down to your passion, if you truly want to do it to help people it will be worth it

Definitely planning on it!

curious too

There's a lot of different jobs in healthcare. It depends what you enjoy, do you want patient contact, no patient contact, etc

@@IncomeOverOutcome im happy with either

U can do nursing, radiography, physiotherapist etc

Consider shadowing various health professionals when clinics open up.

True. All professions or any other job is a service

I’m medical student from Russia. And it irritates me to see how arrogant medics are.

Very true

idiot docs arrogant pricks useless waste fellows

I want to do biotechnology which is similar, what do you plan to do with your degree?

If your going to be a orthopedic surgeon in the U.S you make around 500k in Florida and no income tax So around 30k a month after fed tax

Money was just one of the many points he made. Many surgeons are burned out and exhausted from long work hours. They wish they had more time for family and for themselves. What’s the point of all that money if you can’t enjoy it? What’s the point of money if you’re tired and miserable?

You’ve come this far might as well finish it off

@@kamfn8665 sunk cost fallacy… I say you have a lot of options. If you are smart enough to not only make in medical school but finish… you can literally do anything.

@@sallydurant9899 Usually I would agree with that but there’s a point where it’s much more practical to finish the job. He likely has $200,000-250,000 in student loans, and it’s compounding with interest. That’s A LOT of debt. How is he going to pay it off without a physician salary? It’s going to hang over his head for a long time unless he works as a doctor.

That’s what I’m doing

@@TheGrapplingNinja does med skl provide less money?

@@getintoits2786 sorry no i meant sport physicians make more than physio

doubt it shit job

American doctors get paid much more than Europe doctors. Their lifetime earnings far surpass non-US doctors. There’s a small delay because of the student loans but after they’re paid off, their earnings far exceed foreign physicians.

Think wisely 😌they are many other careers

There’s more to life than money and status. Surgeons are burned out, work long hours, and had to commit so many years of schools and training. Only to not have much time for themselves and for their family. What’s the point of money if you can’t enjoy it? Only do this if you can’t see yourself doing anything else. Being a surgeon is for someone who’s willing to sacrifice their own personal life for the lives of others. Young naive people chase money and status. Older people realize that family and happiness are most important. When you get older and wiser you’ll understand.
