I’m a paraplegic as a result of a broken back & having an amazing surgeon saved my life and gave me a better quality of life. Ive always imagined the sacrifices made by people like yourself & just wanted to say it does not go unappreciated!
How is your social life? You should make a video breaking down what your social life was like and what you did to find time for your family and friends throughout your college and medical career (from undergrad to fellow). That would be awesome! Keep up the great videos, Dr. Webb.
hi dr. webb, im a 3rd year med student, so i get a lot of questions from my family about medicine. My dad has severe scoliosis and is considering surgery. Ive done some research regarding the available procedures, but the biggest question i have for you is this: why is a rhizotomy contraindicated in scoliosis? His measurements have not changed for years, although there is significant degeneration L4-S1. The surgeons only discuss a full spine fusion, but never a fusion at L4-S1, maybe with a laminectomy and a rhizotomy. Could you clarify this? and thank you for the awesome videos. I would love to shadow you.
@AA Michaels lmao how tf you gonna tell a third year med student to take him to a chiropractor when surgery is always the last option. If there was a choice other than surgery I'm sure they would have done it or have tried it.
I'm a medical coder. Coding those spine surgeries can be challenging. Watching your videos has given me a better understanding of what the MD's are actually doing in the OR and what I'm reading in the op reports. Thank you!
You inspire me so much. I am kind of in your old shoes where I am in the Air Force but I am a firefighter. Hoping to start school soon and shoot for the stars like you did.
Hey love your Chanel it’s so interesting thanks so much for the vids! I just found out I have thoracic scoliosis and I was wondering if you ever deal with scoliosis and if you have ever done a scoliosis spinal fusion ?
Last Monday I had two spinal surgery’s one a spinal fusion near my upper spine and the other one is vertebral body tether on my lower spine. My surgeon is doctor Braun in Boston Massachusetts are you familiar with him?
I love your videos! Could you do a video describing the role that imaging plays during orthopedic surgery and some of the different modalities that are used? I’m a PhD student studying biological imaging and would love to learn more about the its role during orthopedic surgery
a have a question for you, Antonio. I've been watching your videos for a while now & they are soooo inspiring and honestly keep me going through nursing school. I've never had a problem the 2 years ive been in school with studying and having practically no social life. I've been married for almost 2 years now and I can hardly ever go anywhere with my husband cause I'm always studying... Sometimes I have to stop from beating myself up cause I'll feel guily & think "well if I would have studied earlier this morning, or later last night I'd have made time for later to do something." I was wondering how your experience has been in your long journey of school? Have you ever had this problem? Also, if you had any particular way you studied concepts & would share that'd be fantastic!!
Hey, I'm obviously not Antonio, but as a fellow doctor, let me tell you how I did it. You have to continuously remind yourself that it's a marathon and not a sprint. Burn out is real, I've experienced it, and being in a field where a lot of studying is necessary, avoiding burnout is important because consistency is what helps get through school. How I usually do is I work/study till 7pm and the time till I go to bed is "me time", I go out with friends, watch movies, play games, exercise etc, I've sticked to this even during my finals! Hope this helps! :)
Cool video I’m an engineer at Medtronic and specify over spinal machining so I work with making these type of parts everyday it’s cool to see them in use.
May be a dumb question but what is the difference between the work you do and the work of a neurosurgeon? I’ve been watching a lot of different interviews of specialists and one of the specialties I see come up a lot in the field of neurosurgery is spine surgery. What is the major difference or are you in a way a branch of neuro?
Orthopedics deal with the skeletal system issues - so your joints, bones, ligaments etc. In this case this doctor deals with the spinal column not the spinal cord itself. Neuro deal with the brain, spinal cord (the nervous tissue in the spine) and the nerves. It's highly likely that Neuro and orthopedics end up working together on some things as surgery is typically managed as a team.
I know a lady that had lower back surgery four years ago. She has curled toes. Is is to late to try toe exercises to straighten them. She’s in a wheelchair and uses a walker
Dr. Webb can you talk about research in the field of orthopedics. While I love the field there seems to be nothing new that needs to be done. However the field of neurology has many things that need to be done.
Beaware that not ALL of those tools are used during the provedure. They will have something to remove something in all sizes. Something to make space.. in all sizes.. so depending on the case, the surgical assist and the doctor may use one or two of each tool. OR none! So even if you see 100 tools.. only 10 get used.
"this hill I've been hiking to get my breathing going; the trail's got this cross, right next to a precipice, and the whole things about going over a ridge you can see from the I-5; I drag myself over it, with my bike, and then it's a pretty good downhill on the way back, through the streets..."
("my disc crushing and then bulging, back in January, turned out to be my L3/L4; and my old 2011 spondyloarthropathy injury, from the Chlamydia, was the L1 which manifested 'spondylolithesis' from overexerting with it still 'inflamed'...")("this recent L3/L4 bulge relapsed after six weeks, and then at around 13 weeks I developed pain when blowing my nose or while doing dips; and, then, at about 17 weeks, after getting some aggression out, shadow-boxing, the top of my left thigh cramped up all the way unto a limp, after like 4 days, which I reversed with a serious cobra stretch. I'm now about 22 weeks out, and mobile, but still feeling the pain when dipping and blowing my nose. So, I'm self-concerned and irritated with miscreant chiropractors still giving me diabolical half-ass adjustments without a discussion...")
Depends what surgery is being done. If we are doing something laparoscopically with cameras then we normally dim the lights so the tv screens are easier to see :)
It’s honestly scary. I would hope to be the first patient of the day. Surgeons should only be allowed to work so many hours in one day. I am sure the risk of error increases drastically after 10-12 hours on the job.
The majority of people you have working on your spine will likely be on little sleep...they're also trained and have gone through school with barely any sleep throughout it.

Hi here is a video that talks about that ruclips.net/video/158ajmGEW-w/видео.html
That was fantastic with great explanations! Thanks man - keep these coming!
Thank you!

@AA Michaels he has been, they are useless.

Get a new chiropractor. You get a right one they’re amazing. Saved me from surgery after a car accident
How many days till your fellowship is over and are you doing anything special to commemorate the occasion?
That was so cool how u showed us how u do the surgeries!
Thank you Nancy!
Hi Dr. Webb
I'm a student from Panama and I'm preparing for my medical school entrance exams. Thank you for your awesome videos!
I'm a medical coder. Coding those spine surgeries can be challenging. Watching your videos has given me a better understanding of what the MD's are actually doing in the OR and what I'm reading in the op reports. Thank you!
Thank you for making a video on real life heroes rather than on celebrities.
Thanks!!
Dallas represent!! It’s been awesome watching this channel grow. Cant wait to see what’s next!
Thanks Javier!
My favorite RUclips channel
Thanks Benjamin!
god forbid i ever need spinal surgery, but if i do, I know who i'm going to see!
For sure
Same!
Keep doing your thing Doc!!!
These videos are so cool Dr Webb! Definetly enjoyed it :)
Thank you!
6:04 Bro, have you had the Fierce Melon flavor? That'll be your new favorite.
I haven’t but I’ll check it out. Thx bro!
Can you make a video about the difference between orthopedic and neurosurgery spine surgeons please?
love this! very informative! please keep the videos coming! stay safe and thank you for everything you do !
Thanks, I appreciate it!
You inspire me so much. I am kind of in your old shoes where I am in the Air Force but I am a firefighter. Hoping to start school soon and shoot for the stars like you did.
Great video ! Was definitely vibing with that outro music lol
Dr Webb your video intros are top notch, great editing 👍 May your hands continue to heal 🙏
Appreciate that, thx!
Hey love your Chanel it’s so interesting thanks so much for the vids! I just found out I have thoracic scoliosis and I was wondering if you ever deal with scoliosis and if you have ever done a scoliosis spinal fusion ?
Cool Video 😎, I definitely enjoyed it , great detail
Last Monday I had two spinal surgery’s one a spinal fusion near my upper spine and the other one is vertebral body tether on my lower spine. My surgeon is doctor Braun in Boston Massachusetts are you familiar with him?
Man that's a nice doctors lounge haha.
You are the man Dr. Webb!! Great job and thx for the video 👍🏾
I love your videos! Could you do a video describing the role that imaging plays during orthopedic surgery and some of the different modalities that are used? I’m a PhD student studying biological imaging and would love to learn more about the its role during orthopedic surgery
can someone recommend series/documentary like "LENOX HILL"
a have a question for you, Antonio. I've been watching your videos for a while now & they are soooo inspiring and honestly keep me going through nursing school.

Good to see that you’re back operating. The unwarranted delay on elective surgery did much more harm for patients than good
What do you do to insure you are awake? Do you just try to have a good sleep schedule or is there something that you drink to wake you up?
Love watching your videos!
Excellent information & presentation!
Guy at 55 seconds was not about to walk behind that old lady lol
😂
I appreciate you sharing this! It’s really inspiring, keep up the great content!
Very inspiring. Hoping to see many more amazing videos to come. :)
So Dr Webb, was it a long day? just kidding, your videos are awesome man! From sydney aus
Nice cinematography 🔥
Thank you!
Cool video I’m an engineer at Medtronic and specify over spinal machining so I work with making these type of parts everyday it’s cool to see them in use.
Wow those animation and cinematic shots 🔥

Great vid doc! Shout out to your reps/techs/spd techs. Not easy processing all those sets!
Where did you get these animations from?
Love your vids as always!!
Amazing doctor
I’m aN AG major in college, but I always find it interesting watching these medical videos to see what doctors go though on a daily basis!!
Thanks tanner!
So enjoy following!!!
Hi I am very happy for you, I wish I was doing what you are doing.

Hello,
Wow! How do you get such an amazing photages! Do you have a drone? :)
cool video!
God bless you.
very good
Great vid!
Dr. Webb, What system did you use for the L5-S1 Interbody fusion?
How do you depress the spine? Thanks

Not true. All medical fields are constantly evolving. Newer surgeries, modifications to existing surgeries are made every single day!
Doctor A I was specifically asking about orthopedics if you reread that.
What's the usually recovering time for the patient .also can the patient have a normal life?
Beaware that not ALL of those tools are used during the provedure. They will have something to remove something in all sizes. Something to make space.. in all sizes.. so depending on the case, the surgical assist and the doctor may use one or two of each tool. OR none! So even if you see 100 tools.. only 10 get used.

Real heros
Where do u practice? I've been in search of a replicable Orthopedic surgeon I reside in NJ yet am willing to travel
That's a lot of sharp looking tools
Mi amor que lindo eres,Dios cuide de ti 🌻
Wow, that’s quite the day
Thanks for watching!
How often do you work 18 hour days?
Intresting to see as a sterile processing tech. Thanks for the vids!
Respect!!
Dope 🔥
okay so i’ve been wondering about this for a while....are OR’s actually dark with spotlights like on TV or are they actually very bright?
Depends what surgery is being done. If we are doing something laparoscopically with cameras then we normally dim the lights so the tv screens are easier to see :)
For some reason I had always thought surgeons do one surgery and then get days to recoup.... well I was wrong. 4 surgeries in one one day!?!!! Wow
It’s honestly scary. I would hope to be the first patient of the day. Surgeons should only be allowed to work so many hours in one day. I am sure the risk of error increases drastically after 10-12 hours on the job.
Hero🐐
🙏🏾🙏🏾
18 Hour Days isn't too bad. The 30 Hour Days can be to much "maybe".
Do you want the guy working on your spine only getting four hours of sleep the night before?
The majority of people you have working on your spine will likely be on little sleep...they're also trained and have gone through school with barely any sleep throughout it.
18h wtf bro :D
Tell the people how much you got paid for those 18 hours ?
