I was in a car accident when I was 21(I am 25 now) my pelvis was crushed, and my legs were broken. I experienced some other injuries as well(collapsed lung and such) everyone was telling me I wouldn't live and if I did I would never walk again. Dr. Webb changed my life and touched my heart, he performed very clean surgeries and a year later I was walking and now I am running 3x a week. I was so inspired by this man that I am on my way to becoming an orthopedist myself:) It's a hard long road, but to be able to give that freedom back to other people I believe is my way to pay it back forward
Constance Mote this is amazing congratulations ❤️❤️😊
Thank you so much, I am in school as we speak and feeling like the future holds promise:)
Constance Mote - Your Story inspired me.
Constance Mote I want to become a surgeon too and I hope one day I can call you colleague :) best luck with your dream
Constance Mote freaking awesome!
This warms my heart. I can't wait till I'm finished with medical school so I can help kids!!!!!!!
Same! What are you going for? I'm thinking about cardiology
Peyton Urich I'm doing orthopedic
Video Perfection Neurosurgeon
My biggest props to pediatric doctors. I can't stand seeing children in pain.
Great to be. Hard to be.
The kid at 5:09 - he may be disabled, but he has the most beautiful smile in the world.
This video made me teary eyed. it's so beautiful, so pure. videos like these that make me want to go to medical school, to become a surgeon. Huge inspiration
Fantastic video!! Dr. Jack Flynn operated on my daughter twice!! He is a wonderful man! God bless him!
He's a really good doctor. He did the Veptr rod installation on me, and (I think) two lengthenings for the rods. He's an amazing surgeon, I barely lost any blood all times he touched me.
Such beautiful examples of humanity.
I am gonna study very very hard to become a pediatric surgeon so I can be useful and help sick children so they can live a better life
I want to be a surgeon, I'm graduating very soon. When I was born I was born with bad lungs and had many lung surgeries. I now only live with one lung, and can't thank my surgeon enough; not for saving me, but for also helping me know what I want to do in my future! I need to figure out what kind of surgeon I'd like to be, but I know for sure I want to save lives
Kandidly Kristen You can do anything you put your mind to, keep up the good work 👍
Kandidly Kristen be an orthopedic that's what I'm trying to be
Kandidly Kristen One lung? Is that possible?
I want want to be a surgeon in the future. I want to make people smile. I want to change lives. But becoming a surgeon will be very difficult :/
Nothing is so easy to reach in this world.Don't think that it's so hard or impossible.If you want to do it,you can.Your dreams are so sweet.You can be a surgeon.Do it!

I know how you feel.I myself am studying for medical school. But if you believe in yourself and if you love what you are doing, you can make your dreams come true. Don't give up on becoming a surgeon.
4 yrs of college, 4 yrs of med school(AMG), stellar step1 and 2 scores (>260), numerous research experiences and publications, outstanding LORs and MSPEs, lucky enough to be invited for the residency interviews are all required just for ortho residency. Good luck to those still wish to go into the ortho
I was born with clubfoot and thank god I got them fixed when I was born I still on have scars on both my feet from the surgery kids at my school use to bully me because I looked weird whenever I ran but you know what thank God again I can walk and one they I'm going to be a orthopedic pediatrician to help kids with the same issue just like me :)
A doctor is a gift from God
I love CHOP. It was such a blessing to have been able to experience their amazing staff.
Yes, CHOP is amazing. Doctor Jack Flynn operated on my spine about 3 times. The first was the Veptr rod expansion for my scoliosis, and the last two were lengthenings. I barely lost any blood all three times. The staff is amazing, they all do perfect!
its such a huge responsibility....
how can someone sleep at night after doing all of this work? what if you couldnt save a patient? what happens then? its hard to have a life beyond this work... so hard. amazing
i am 11 years old. When i was 8 i broke my Ulna (Wrist) When i was 8. Ever since then i was always so interested in becoming an Orthopaedic Surgeon
Matthew St.Louis be it
Matthew St.Louis
ulna isnt the wrist ;) carpus is the wrist ;-). but good luck with your Dreams. the sky should never be your limit when there is a whole galaxy of opportunities out there
I'm really interested in becoming a Pediatric Orthopedic Surgeon.
Me too! Either that or a psychologist.. I'm only 13, but pursuing a career to help others would be fantastic!
sure ya are
Me too, I believe you could do it as well as everyone else working towards their medical goals! Good Luck!
Emily Porter im studying it ..:)
Emily Porter omg same
I want to be a surgeon but I'm not the smartest,but I hope one day I will be able to become one!
Leah reahan SAMEEE!!
Don't let a number define your intelligence. Being smart is more than just doing good on tests. And as long as you have the drive and work ethic, then you can become a doctor
Leah reahan I know you will and one day we'll be colleagues
Leah reahan it doesn't matter if you are told you are smartest or not you just have the intense desire to be there
I'm acing all my tests studying medicine in my 4th language at the number one medical faculty in Germany and I promise you there is nothing you cannot compensate for in hard work. I really hope you find the strength everyday to put in the hours and I wish you good luck!
Wow. This is very reassuring knowing that the doctors actually care about me and I'm not just another person
What heartwarming stories! Thank you for sharing!
god this makes me so excited for this. this is what it’s for. heartwarming.
Wow. This video gave me chills
WOW. This inspired me to become an Orthopedic Surgeon ! Finally I know what I want to be before taking GCSE's :)
made me cry.... wanna be a great doctor someday
One day i will be a great orthopedic surgeon - I’ll come back after 3 yrs and say yes I joined orthopedic program -
I was in med school for orthopaedics, but then fractured my back about two years ago. I've been in physio ever since.
Great video, I really appreciate these things the orthopedic surgeons' has done, so nice and kind of them. I wish to become one, and save all these smiles! >_
One day a tree branch cut my eye, and the muscle was showing, like between the nose and eye and I got 3 stitches at CHOP. Now I have no scar at all
I love my orthopedic surgeon she is amazing i was nervous about surgery so she made a deal with me cause i was saying no to surgery i didn’t want it she said if you get surgery i will bring you a surprise and when i woke up from surgery and wasn’t loopy she came into my room with a big gift basket and the next day when i was aloud more food i she made me a chocolate banana milk shake (dont judge me it’s delicious)
That's amazing and very difficult to do ;poor children god bless!
this is going to be what I do on about 20 years
I had a surgery on a displaced fracture today....
I'm interested in being a Cardio thoracic pediatric surgeon :)
i would love to come to this hospital and talk about my random dislocating bones here in new zealand i got told to live with it. and that's not cool i now cant run long distances.
I want to go to medical school to be either a pedatric surgeon (either orthopedic or general I don't know which one) or just a regular pediatrician, surgery seems so great but I'm not sure if I would be able to handle it since I have anxiety and I'm not sure if I would be able to handle it. Anyone want to help me choose? 😂😂
Same here can't deal withthe surgery part 😂😥.. I think being a pediatrician would be the perfect fit
It's up to you bro. I recommend doing some work experience at a hospital to really get a feel for it and also during med school you will learn the different specialities in medicine and that will help you decide! Who knows by the end of it you could be an ophthalmologist haha
being a pediatrician is no less than being a pediatric orthopedic surgeon and I am sure u know that I just wanted to say either way no matter what ur gonna choose u will be very useful to children who are suffering u will be able to give them help and a better life so choose what u are sure u wanna do and with ur anxiety make sure u choose what will be better in the future for those patients u will be saving and giving medical treatment and help
+Sulli Choi I wish u all success in reaching what ur aiming make sure to be a great doctor no matter what u will be choosing
This will sound really harsh but you can't really be a surgeon or doctor if the gore grosses you out. That's like being a soccer player that's afraid to touch the ball. It doesn't really work. But hey ho don't give up
I used to be very energetic and kind of athletic... I miss when I could run so fast and beat my male school mates.. this bone tuberculosis really ruins everything
my mom is an RN and i want to be a orthopedic sergeon well ive been studying it since I was 10 years old I'm 14 now so I wanted to make sure when I do college it's a breeze
me lol well it's not going to be a breeze it's going to be very hard and your gonna tell your self that your going to quit like 10,000 times and then if you stay with the program you become a surgeon of your choice that's how it's going to be. Good luck
Good for you!! I hope you achieve that dream!
😮 I'm getting acl and mcl surgery too!!!!! But the difference is im 12..... now that I think about it, how did I get here?
very interesting.
So many choices... I either want to be this or a neonatologist.
u should be this
Hanna Bennett Lol I'm now thinking of a paediatric neurosurgeon... too many options!!
+Nathan Ouedraogo pediatric*
Syd H paediatric is another way of spelling it m8 :)
lol
We all need love
My dream is to be a Orthopedic Surgeon and to work at CHOP
i have passed my tenth exam now plz tell me how can i become orthopedics surgeon .plz tell me it's all steps it's mine future question plz tell me
May i ask a question. Can a surgeon have its own clinic and go to hospitals for surgeries? Like see patients in their clinic and do surgeries in the hospital? Can someone please tell me thank you so much :)
Happy
I know this is very late and you probably figured out the answer by now, but I wanted to say yes!!!! My orthopedic surgeon saw me in his clinic for the original assessment and he did my knee surgery in the hospital. I now go to follow up visits back in the clinic. Hope this helped you out :)
Children's hospitals have physical clinics inside the hospitals where does see patients before surgery if needed and after surgery, if needed and surgery is not needed they are still seen in the clinics.
I wish I could be a doctor. But I'm not smart enough.
恵美子 H-San You could get smarter, and you won't get anywhere downing yourself.
恵美子 H-San You can do anything you put your mind to, you can do it
恵美子 H-San you could Don't worry I'm not the smartest but if you study and go to college and learn you could get ur degree and become a intern and that's where they teach you. I'm gonna try even though I watch a lot of greys anatomy I thought it would be the same but it's not, but It looks fun anyway
Just work hard at school. If you don't think you're smart. It will take longer, but you will still get there.
Real life heroes
This is my dream job although pretty gross🌼

I wanted to be a orthopedic surgeon. But when I found out that it takes almost 17 years to become one.. I decided to want to be a anesthesiologist
They get paid soooo much!! Good luck!
Lol it doesn't take 17 years
