WHY GASTROENTEROLOGY | TOP 5 reasons why I chose to be a gastroenterologist 

From a patient with Crohn's disease for the last 22 years, I thank you. There aren't many caring GI specialists out there, but when we find them we love them for a life time.

I seriously have been searching and searching and WAITING to find a GI doc on here that talks about GI like this... finally! I’m a college student with a dream/goal to go into GI. Thank you so much for your content!!! Huge inspiration to me!

I bet you can be a huge relief in your patients life too. Anyone who's ever had stomach flu or a bad constipation knows how uncomfortable it is and how happy you feel when your whole digestive system works well again!

I’m SO EXCITED that I found this channel 😂 I work in a GI office and I follow all these doctors on YT but you’re the first GI!

Thanks to this video I was able to organize my ideas on why I like GI, it helped me prepare for my interviews and I was accepted at a prestigious school in my country. You helped me become a GI fellow, thank you very very much!

I really enjoyed this and look forward to you doing more videos.

I took a Rotation with a Gastroenterologist earlier this year....I loved it. Gastroenterologist is seriously a really good specialty

Finally! I was able to find a channel re: Gastroenterology!!!! I'm a nurse and looking to specialise in the Gastroenterology nursing! Yehey... I'm currently in Gastroenterology unit/ward and waiting to have a slot in the Endoscopy unit.. ☺

I love this video!! Thanks for the insight!

Currently in medical school and will be applying to IM soon with plans to do a fellowship in GI! Thanks for this amazing video!

Love it! I thought I was a cardio guy but I'm really beginning to think GI is the way for me. Gotta match IM next year in the right program first. Good stuff Dr. Chiang!!

Love this!!! Now I feel like becoming a gastroenterologist 🤩🤩

Current 3rd year med student! So glad I fell in love with GI during my rotations! Loved this video! Definitely subscribed :)

Loved this video, Austin!!

awesome!! hopefully I match GI, applying this cycle

Found your page through mama doctor jones, so good! Although I’m in nursing school (Philly 💙), it’s fun to learn from the physician side

I joined to Navy as Corpsman to gain experience in the medical field. My first assignment was in the Gastoenterology/Hepatology department at NMCSD. Needless to say after my time there I decided to become a GI doc some day. Starting school in January!

hey, i follow you in instagram but your youtube channel has convinced me to like you. you seem like a sharp guy! hopefully you use this channel more often.

Love this video thanks Austin!

Enjoyed seeing your videos , you are inspiring us ,, am looking forward to learn more from you

A great introduction of gastroenterologist, let me love to become a GI man again!

You are an AWESOME HUMAN 😍

Really good insights doctor... Interdisciplinary work... I think it would be totally amazing...

Would love to see a video discussing bias towards bariatric patients and how we can help create a more welcoming environment so they don’t delay care out of feeling ashamed to seek help. Also a video talking about recent advancements in GI as well as what it means to have a “healthy gut.” Maybe dispelling some myths about gut health and discussing relevant evidence.

On my 3rd day of fellowship and couldn't be happier

Wow that sounds amazing. I heard that the gut is a second brain and that some say serotonin is produced in the gut. do GI Drs treat the gut to help the brain function better?

Great video! Did you know gastroenterology was for you early on in your academic career, or was it a bigger interest that developed during medical school?

I really enjoyed this video! I was wondering if you get paid throughout your residency or fellowship?

I have H.pylori, ulcers, and gall stones so I've been seeing a few GI doctors. Coincidentally, they're the nicest kind I've come across.

Hello, my name is Alizae and I have been diagnosed with Alchelasia. I currently have a feeding tube in my stomach and have been going through the process for over a year now. I haven't been able to get the "P.O.E.M" procedure to help me become able to eat foods and drink liquids once again. However I haven't been able to get fixed because my Medicaid was discontinued because I turned 19 years old in January and I have been struggling to get health insurance ever since. If you could help me or give me any advise, that would be great.

Hi doctor, I love your videos, they are so educational! I have a question that may sound dumb: what is the difference between a gastroenterologist (like you) and a general surgeon? Thanks!

Can u do a video on list of procedures done by Gastroenterologists .. thanks

Can you do a video (if you havent already) on the GI effects of PCOS?

Hi Dr. Chiang, Very inspiring, Would you please talk about work life balance as a GI doc? Are you able to have few days off during the week, unplug and enjoy some quality Family time?

Goat!!!

Premed student here, SO interested in GI for these exact reasons in your video...love your content and look forward to learning more. Q: how much patient interaction is there in GI?

Love the video. I'm a current 1st year interested in Gastroenterology and have 3 QUESTIONS: 1. Is it recommended to get involved in research now even though I'll have to IM first? 2. Do attending that completed a Gastroenterology/Hepatology fellowship perform procedures? 3. Is there anything I do now (before IM residency) to become a competitive fellow applicant?

Thank you for nice video Dr.! I am also considering GI as my future career but I am wondering about new emerging technologies which can deminish GI number of procedures like, nonendoscopic sponge capsula for Barret Esophagus diagnosis or Virtual Colonoscopy by CT. Do you thing those technologies can take "piece of cake" from GI?

Which one is better sir!whether to go for gastroenterology or gastroenterosurgeon?

I know it’s not all about the money, but it’s also about the money a little bit. GI’s make amazing money. My dad is one.

Cool video there! Can you tell me more about the personalities in GI? are they generally nice

Great video.Can I become a gastroenterologist if I have some limitations on my left hand due to median and radial nerves injury?I can't do fine hand movements with my left hand but I work well with my dominant hand. !My hand surgeon told me that surgery is not for me but I do love working with my hands. Thank you in advance!

What do you think about cardiology ? Electrophysiology?

What do you think the market will look like around 2030 for advanced endoscopy/GI? Asking for a friend....

How difficult is it to learn the procedural skills of GI?

Do you have any advice for a H.S student that is interested in this field?

Hi! I am an aspiring gastroenterologist. Do all gastroenterologists perform mostly procedure work or do some practice medicine more than procedures?

Please somebody answers my following question,i want to become a gastroenterologist and I am thinking about master in clinical anatomy Will it be beneficial to me or it Will be a waste of time,cuz there is minor surgical procedures through endoscopic techniques,I am scatterbrained,help me

Let me know what questions you have about my job as a gastroenterologist!

lot of flowery personalities in GI

How are you... verified?

Can anyone tell me if this is a red flag of a bad gastroenterologist. I had my first colonoscopy because I was dealing with bloody Incontinence. Being a massage therapist this is something that I can’t be dealing with while I’m working. So I begged the doctor if he could at least prescribe something to help me since my lab results show I have IBD. He told me that I need a colonoscopy and he promised to give me steroid afterwards. So he performed the colonoscopy. Afterwards however when he saw the results and said it looks like I have some form of diverticulitis he tells me that I’m allergic to sulfa and he doesn’t know what to prescribe me . The only thing he could think of was a $900 foam by Uceris . Well turns out that Walgreens doesn’t carry that . But they do have generic low cost pill versions. So I left messages with his staff days ago with no reply. I even had suggestions of other steroids that I’m not allergic to . So my main concern is this normal for a doctor to not know what to prescribe for treatment or should I find someone who knows more and isn’t gonna blow me off . I understand I’m not the only patient but I have never knew a doctor that has said they don’t know what to do.
