Honestly I feel like you make the path to medicine seem so hard and sad just to make people to pay for your program. If that’s the case, just please stop. This is so discouraging. At least take a more passive or encouraging view to all this.

@katewhite4558 3 года назад

As an RN in NP school considering medicine...while I can appreciate the depth of knowledge required to be an MD, I do not agree that nursing requires "less intellectual stimulation". I think that phrasing coupled with the graphic of a woman in a traditional nursing uniform is a poor choice, ignorant at best and plain disrespectful at worst. Nursing requires a lot of responsibility and critical thinking, including knowing when to notify a provider of concerns, questioning orders, etc. I am sure many RNs, MDs, and other health care professionals would agree with me. I have overall found your videos helpful but was very taken aback and insulted by this comparison.

Kristen N great question! A few things motivate me. 1. In undergrad I was a phlebotomy tech and I think about all the positive patient experiences I had with my patients. I kept their notes/letters thanking me. I remember all the times I’ve had positive reinforcement form my collègues for my positive attributes towards the profession. 2. This is actually what I’m passionate about, and want to learn everything i can to be the best doctor I can be. 3. I want to prove to myself that I can get through it! 4. I don’t want to be stuck with all this debt. This is actually a huge motivator for a lot of people. Are you in medical school now or undergrad?

I’d be interested to see burnout data between docs who are first generation docs/from lower socioeconomic backgrounds vs doc who have a primary family member in medicine and higher socioeconomic background. Anecdotally, the most burnt out and pessimistic students are the ones who come from doctor families or parents pressured them imo going to medical school. The most optimistic and happy students I see are the first gen college grad types from more modest families etc.

@renee6989 4 года назад

It’s very obvious in medical school who these people will be, too. They’re the ones complaining all the time about this in that. For the clinical stuff there are some that usually half fast patient interactions. It’s sad they make it through when it’s clear their heart isn’t in the right place.

Christian..i think you are onto something there..i am a first generation american and college student just graduated nursing school...at 27...and i was always optimistic , participating, sitting at the front of the class....however, my heart has always been with pursuing medical school, but my parents always thought I dreamt too big and did not know that it would even be possible. My parents never finished high school and grew up extremely poor. However, now that I am married and have kids, I have a supportive husband who tells me to go for it! As a non traditional student I feel like I would not be missing out like most traditional students miss out on their 20s. I am worried about missing out on my kids though. Im excited to get to my destination. Slowly, but surely, I will make it. It is like he said...you have to enjoy the process.

I just took another career path after speaking to a college counselor. I still think about continuing and romanticize it, but I wish those who continued much luck and blessings. I think pursuing medicine is a calling, you just know it in your heart this is what you want to do more than anything in the world and/or for some all they want to do, for me I wasn't sure and I couldn't continue until I was 200%, then after 2019 I really fell off that boat, maybe who knows I could contribute in the future by being a science teacher or who knows?

Hi I’m a 13 year old boy and I’m already looking at being a doctor. I’d love to be a type of heart doctor because my grandfather had heart problems. I’d like to know all different types of heart doctors and what it takes to become them. If you can put a video out on this that would be great.

I’m currently a junior in high school and I’m still figuring out if I wanna be in the business or medical field. But the truth is I don’t think I really have a passion for finance I just like to find more ways to save money and be productive. I REALLY REALLY enjoy watching vids about the skin and everything ab it. I can watch informational videos for hours on end and I think my mom suffers for melasma and I’m trying to come up with a skincare regimen for her and my other friend that suffers from acne and I love helping with that and have such a passion for it. My mom said to me “hey why don’t you actually do this like for a job when you grow up” so the closest thing I thought ab was dermatology and I know it is a lot of heavy work but I am persistent and I can push thru if I put my mind to it and it’s finally a profession I can see myself doing and going into without thinking ab it only for the money!!

@Totalavulsion 4 года назад

The medical model is wrong from the point of view of having to undertake ridiculously long hours. Doctors care for people but are under so much time pressure that mistakes can be made. Also, such time pressures mean that doctors struggle to look after their own mental and physical wellbeing. So ironic. Doctors and nurses should be supported more to do the job they are passionate about doing to the best of their ability. These professions should not be subjected to such harsh attrition.

The hurdle I have been facing my first two years of medical school is the extreme social isolation from being buried in books and lectures. I miss working with people. I hope that it gets better when third year starts and I start working with people in groups. I am an extrovert and get energy from interacting with lots of people every day.

As a non-traditional applicant who started my post-bacc last year a week before my 30th birthday, the point about seeing non-physician friend having a less intense lifestyle can be a little challenging.

Well I’m in my 50’s and regretting not finishing med school and becoming an RN instead. I frequently consider going back to college once again. I have so many college hours I could have been a doctor. Do it when you’re young. You’re going to go for a 4 year bachelor’s anyway, so just go for another 4 for med school and you can call yourself a doctor. I could have been done with internship and residency years ago.

Anesthesiologists are dying out. Pointless. Why do that when you can become a nurse and then become a CRNA and finish a lot earlier and a lot less debt. It’s getting to the point that anesthesiologists are getting salty that CRNAs are stealing their jobs since hospitals prefer them, and patient outcomes have been shown to be identical so the preparation is just as good.

@itskendra9964 4 года назад

Oscar G I’ve actually considered doing the CRNA route, thanks for that perspective

@maryhotmailde 4 года назад

I agree with all of this. Although, that one point with process-/goal-orientation is rather semi-true in my opinion. It's true that it would be terrible if you always get discouraged when the outcome is not as good as expected, however as a doctor you want your patient to get better and eventually help him. I think it would be normal if you get frustrated with time when you give it your all and still the results aren't there. You would start questioning your purpose in this system.
