      I want to become a neurosurgeon too. My mom always tells me that if her parents had been in a scientific field and told her about surgery, she would’ve done it. That’s why she pushes my sister and I to go into surgical fields. The pay is also circa 3-6 times higher on average too. 😂

      Ashea E, you should try applying to a few surgical residencies that you’re considering. If you get in, you’ll probably feel happy and get a confidence boost. This will also make it clear that you’re good enough to be in that specialty and that you should take it. In twenty years from now, it would be sad if you were telling your kids how you got into a neurosurgery residency but didn’t take it.

    For any young high school students and pre-med undergrads out there here's my advice as a medical student:
    If you do not like studying, and learning is something you do for grades as opposed to intellectual curiosity - pick something else. Be prepared to work hard. Be prepared to fail sometimes. But never give up your sanity or mental health for a career. Because if you think you're "dying" with the amount of studying/work and stress you have now, it's only going to get harder from here. Medicine is a profession of life long learning. If this career is for you, make sure you ALWAYS make time for yourself and for your family/ friends.

    I'm just gonna say here that your speciality choice, if you're not at least in the final year of med school, means nothing. People from my year group started off as aspiring surgeons who did psychiatry, general physicians --> surgery, medicine --> radiology. This even changed in the 2 years after graduation, right before you committ to choosing a speciality (UK pathway). My advice is keep an open mind, don't worry about statistics. Choose a speciality that interests you, but also one that you can see yourself doing when you're 40 with 2 kids, 50 with kids in college/university, 60 when your body may be tiring.

    Thank you so much from the bottom of my heart. I don't mean to be melodramatic but I just feel like *no one* understands me, not friends, not family. It always feels like I'm not allowed to complain or have feelings or complain about something. It's like in an ideal situation I might come home and say something like "Ugh my back was hurting all day it was so hard." The normal reaction should be something like "I'm sorry to hear that, why don't you rest a little. I know it's hard but you are doing great" But apparently that's just too much to ask for. It's always "you aren't doing anything special, everyone else is doing it, get over it, it doesn't matter." Hearing you guys be so comforting was a relief. Thank you so much. Jazak Allah.

    I used to want to be a cardiologist so I went and did research at Columbia University's heart research. Honestly, I can see how cardiologists is one of the least happy specialties. As heart research assistants, we were just surrounded with patients who had 1-2 years left to live and always were sent down to ask them for their hearts after they die. Overall, the atmosphere was just death and gloom. I just couldn't deal with that anymore and ended up quitting within the month. That experience turned me away from wanting to become a physician period.

      @lilychu8912 3 года назад +24

      Well, I am NOT an oncologist but an internist/ geriatrician so similarly, I often worked with patients who were at the end of their lives and with chronic/ terminal health issues that could not be cured. I even served as a palliative care/ hospice MD at times. However, I can see why oncology - and somewhat similarly rheumatology, cardiology, etc. - may be attractive to many people.
      What this video does not define are the 2 different types of happiness, which the Greeks did: there is hedonia and there is eudaemonia. Hedonia is what many people think of when they think of happiness: drinking, partying, shopping, basically any activity that tends to stimulate our senses. Eudaimonia is a deeper type of happiness and more to do with connection and meaning. Hence someone with a fairly tragic or hard life on the surface (e.g. Martin Luther King, Jr.; Gandhi, Galileo, etc. at times) can still feel "happy" but in a different way.
      I really enjoyed being able to help people function better, makes their lives a little easier, and help them increase their quality of life even as I (or anyone else for that matter) could not extend their lives or cure them. On the other side, I learned a lot from my patients about what makes life meaningful and fulfilled. Far from being gloomy, palliative medicine/ hospice was actually hopeful. The hope wasn't necessarily about being cured or getting better necessarily but having the ability to spend time with those one loved, feeling gratitude for the years one had, etc. Some oncologists probably feel the same way.
      (Also, as the other commenter noted, there are some cancers which a curable and others that are quite manageable. For example Hodgkin's lymphoma and testicular cancer. I'd also add that a) medicine is wide enough to fit all kinds of interests, b) personalities associated with different specialties - the people you are around - can also impact happiness (e.g. the first internal med rotation I did, I was immediately deemed/ welcomed to be an internist by my peers and teachers), and c) the organization/ environment where you work impacts happiness. I worked hard but my last position had no call and I controlled my own schedule.)

  • @zacg_
    @zacg_ 4 года назад +32

    An additional aspect of the happiness problem is that most of us picked our specialties when we were in our mid to late twenties. Many medical students are single with no family obligations when they start and often that continues well out of residency. But if you told yourself that you wanted to be a surgeon while you were single and that you could handle the call schedule, if you get married and have kids then the calculation changes. It's not that no one can have a family and work long hours. But how you weigh those things does change.
    I remember the OBGYN residents in school telling me that they all regretted not dating more before residency and that they were super aware of the fact that women having babies over age 35 carries risks. Meanwhile, they didn't have kids (most of them were female) and were wanting to have kids but were worried due to time. Again, it's not that you can't have kids over age 35 or that everyone wants to have kids. But the fact is that medical education eats into some very important years for young adults and many young adults don't realize how their own plans will change with time.

    • @corinneobrien6196

      Zac G that might be true but just imagine being one of the vast majority of people who have to choose their entire path right when they graduate undergrad or even right when they finish high school. Med students are lucky to wait all the way until their late twenties to decide.

    • @zacg_
      @zacg_ 4 года назад +5

      @@corinneobrien6196 I somewhat agree but there is a big caveat. Most people outside of medicine are preparing for a large number of career directions. Physicians who match into a medical specialty are basically locked into a very specific career pathway and it can be very difficult to change. People who are graduating with an undergraduate degree and entering the work force typically have a lot more flexibility with the types of trade offs they want between work/life balance because their career pathways aren't as fixed. I'm not saying everyone else has it easy. But I am saying that physicians often end up delaying many things like family and then lock themselves into very rigid careers that don't allow for flexibility in that regard.
      Now I'm not complaining on my own behalf. I picked a career pathway that is one of the more balanced within medicine. I'm just saying that for many specialties (especially surgical specialties and in-patient specialties) you can end up locking yourself into a bad work/life balance before you even realized that you would want work/life balance.

    Speaking from my own experience at the VA hospitals and at the "outside" contractors they send veterans to occasionally, I have to say that urologists and their supporting staff are the most miserable. Sarcasm, insults, disrespect, are their normal way of interacting with patients. Mistakes and cover-ups are going on all the time. I have found that audiologists were generally happy in the hospitals. They have been positive in their attitude and clear in communicating and act like they care about the people they help.
    Cardiologists - considering the women cardiologists, generally, they care about you the patient. Male, cardio surgeons not so much. You are not a person; you are just a body to cut up. When they screw up they just say "Ooops," and go on to the next one. Lies cover-ups, gaslighting, whatever it takes to get by. They get paid no matter what happens to you.
    Physical therapy personnel tend to be positive and happy. They give you the impression that you can get healthy again too if you will do the work,.
    ER personnel are often arrogant and disrespectful. When you have a concussion they get to insult you and make you wait , until you get fed up and go away. Maybe the ER nurse was in the Navy. So what? So maybe he hates Marines. So maybe he refuses to give you the medicines that he doctor ordered.
    These days, when so many hospital people are burned out and angry they may take out their frustration on you. If you get mad at them - they may call the cop to come with a gun to take care of you.
    If any of the readers think I am exaggerating about the urologists you should look up the Phoenix VA online. There are numerous articles about the 20 or 30 or more veterans that they let die of cancer - around 2012-14. Eventually the director of the hospital got fired. Nothing was done to the guilty doctors.
    How can people like that live with themselves.?

    Feels good to see this as a dermatology resident.

      How often does a dermatologist perform surgery? Is it very common or very rare? I’m juggling between it and radiology and they’re both really fascinating to me, but I’m not too keen on performing lots of surgery. Thanks!

    I am a future oncologist and I guess in my own opinion what matters is what makes you happy if you love the career you chosen then that’s what makes you happy ☺️

    Hmmmm, I enjoy interacting with patients, I also want to have time for myself.
    My first love in medical speciality is orthopedics. But it is kinda time consuming.
    I am planning going for O&G, wish me luck.

    Having been in 2 branches for quite a bit..
    ENT offers very good work life balance, monetary wise good abroad and satisfying branch.. but sadly in India, less prefered compared to other surgical branches.
    CTVS- Name, fame and money, it is a beautiful branch, not many surgical branches can offer as much thrill/ adrenaline rush while operating on such a dynamic organ and satisfaction as results are instantaneous post surgery.
    Cons- a major lifestyle choice to ponder about ..It is very stressful, demanding and most of the time your life is spent at hospital/Icu. Even at home you will be thinking about work at the back of your mind..
