Incredible! a much-needed video on GP training! every video always highlights the Pros of GP training and never the cons! I personally always had a question about the general practice that how do GP's manage to examine, diagnose, and decide on the treatment plan for the patient in literally just 10mins?!!! that's like a superhuman job tbh..... home visits are not particularly "safe" or "comfortable" either ..... at the end of the day any specialty training is tough if you are not cut out for it... NOTHING IS EASY IN MEDICINE! PERIOD.
Exactly!!!!! Not sure who thought it was a good idea to have such short appointment times & I completely agree regarding home visits, it’s always a bit unnerving visiting people at home...definitely! No specialty training is easy!
@@DoctorNosa I had to study healthcare financing to realise that the 10 min appointment was designed because of the capitation payments. They literally turned the medical evaluation and anamnesis into a high production factory. And we doctors learnt to adapt to it instead of fighting against it.
Great video Dr Nosa. GP is definitely far from an easy option. The challenges of working in community is often more complex than in Hospital. The experience of GP training will differ depending on the workload and culture at the surgery.
Thank you for being completely honest and transparent, Nosa. I'm a GPST3 and everything you highlight in this Vlog has resonated deeply with me. Keep on inspiring, sharing beneficial knowledge and continue the excellent Vlogs on on your YT channel.
Thank you Nosa for that video. It went against all videos that are praising GP training. I think GP is still a good option for some IMGs who came to UK at older age after overseas training. It allows doing special interest and I think it is better than CESR pathway.
You’re welcome! Completely agree it’s still a good option especially for the flexibility. There’s also a wide scope of special interest options. Just think people should be aware what they are getting into 😃
Thank you so much for sharing this video! I'm currently in my final year of medical school and have been considering different specialities. I tend to gravitate towards clinic based specialities and I was just wondering what other specialities did you consider before settling for GP?
Great video and love the honest insight into GP. Can I ask though, would you still recommend GP as a career option? Or do you think the negatives are greater than the positives? Thanks!
Thanks a lot! I would still recommend it but really depends on what’s important to you. More time to do other things you love as well? More time with family? Good salary equivalent and sometimes more than hospital consultants, can deal with the actual day to day job of a GP then yes! GP is likely for you!
Hi Dr Nosa. How do I apply for internal medicine residency in the UK after PLAB exams? What is the cost…I’d like to work in the UK as a doctor but more interested in becoming an internist. Thank you so much for all the information
Hey, I am a female doctor from Bangladesh. Just finished my internship recently. I am now preparing for plab. I want to become a gynecologist. Would you please make a video on the pros & cons of gynae & obstetrics.. It would be very helpful for many person like us who want to come to uk. Thanks.😊😊
Dr can I have your number on what app like I want to make you my mentor I really enjoy your videos and I happen to be a medical student here in Nigeria
I CAME TO SEE U R CHANNEL RECENTLY....ND I TOO WANT TO BECOME DOCTOR.........U R VIDEOS ARE MOTIVATING SO MUCH.....THANK U DEAR DR.NOSA......LOTS OF LOVE
People out there, I am a chronically ill person who’s dealt with good and bad medical professionals. If you don’t care about people, leave this career, I’m sick of you arrogant incompetent narcissists ruining my life
It depends on the position... a pathologist or radiologist will have a far more relaxed lifestyle than any GP. All they do is look at slides and x rays, no night shifts... pretty chill.
Being a GP is a pretty lucrative job these days,don't have to deal with patients any more,get plenty of money for not doing your job and to top it off there's no comeback when you get it wrong.Hand all your responsibilities to a nurse or pharmacist,all in all a good job
What an ignorant comment. The job is hard, and the pay is not commensurate to the hardwork and skill of GPs. I am not surprised anyway. Seeing this kind of comment is now so common amongst the public. You never value what you have until you lose it.
Gps don't understand ppl and pain its very very sad, they get told, and judge ppl who r really ill and need help, i wish i wud die the specialist sent a letter and they said no letter, but the was 😢😢😢
