Private equity bought out hospitals, clinics and laboratories a long time ago, and now private insurance controls everything. That's why healthcare is in such terrible shape.
That doesn’t explain why physician are burnt out in the UK and Canada, where private equity and insurance companies have far less influence than in the US
@@sebastianheine378 That's why my comment was about the US. Though the American model is slowly creeping up elsewhere. That's the sad thing about humans, once they get the taste of greed, there's no going back.
@@sebastianheine378UK health system is now more privatized than it ever has been. Austerity politics has been deemphasizing funding the NHS. Also brexit didn't help.
It’s horrible to think how it’s the norm to expect this of people. Up to 80 hr wks wow. It’s unreasonable and can be unsafe.. We go to doctors when we have problems calling for high-stakes, specialized decision making. Why would we want them impaired by some degree of exhaustion? It’s not like they’re stunt-men/women. It’s kind of like getting your accountant drunk right before they do your taxes. Maybe the whole tradition is like expecting to help drive your financial advisor into debt or bankruptcy, to just burn through them. I mean, it’s one thing to need the fortitude & stamina to pull long hours to meet the needs of any number of medical exigencies, but chronically of course is unhealthy and therefore problematic. As a nurse (practitioner), I understand the bind involved in trying to meet the medical needs of the community, but it makes no sense to imagine that docs are somehow different than everyone else, that long work hours, stress & sleep deprivation just roll right off of them.
Although do take care of themselves for the most part, I don't see doctors as the pinnacle of health. The main reason I like Physicians is because their sacrifice to other people. The message today should be to know what you're getting yourself into before the debt, lack of sleep, health issues. Are you willing to make that sacrifice or quit. Neither is a bad or good choice. It is your choice. If you asked me a few years ago I would have been on the negative side of this topic but I've to realize not everyone has the same goals despite going into the same profession.
Hey! Really enjoy your videos, medical school in the UK is actually 5 years at the vast majority of universities. It is only 6 if the student chooses to do an optional intercalated degree (such as in public health) in either their 3rd or 4th year of studies (depending on the university). The standard course length is 5 years however.
It honestly makes me question whether or not I want to pursue medicine. What other profession where you are literally overseeing the health and life of other people would put you in such a horrible position to do so? It’s cruel and weird and UNNECESSARY.
Paramedics, police, firefighters, and law enforcement. And of course the military. No better how life gets as a doctor at least you don't have to work 80 hours and a week and then get shot at the end of the week
@@mustang8206 none of those professions beyond military make you work 80+ hours. None of those positions put you in hundreds of thousands of dollars in debt.
generally no, doctors should not sacrifice their health for patients UNLESS the sacrifice is worthy because the patient is having an emergency, that's literally the only exception I can think of, otherwise let doctors be humans
Compared to Indian residency it's nothing . In India specially in clincal subjects you works like 100hrs per week . That too is minimum and I didn't even count the patient load . You also have to work sometimes 36 hrs in case of emergency duty continuosly barely getting any sleep.
Well India is also a 3rd world country where people poop in the streets and don't wear deodorant. You would expect a first world country like America or the UK to be different
You should see NSGY residency in the US. I've done 30+ hours nonstop myself in plastic surgery multiple times Regardless we don't need to one-up. This is all not ok.
it's not really 'nothing', @natsu. residents worldwide are being asked to push beyond their limits and in doing so, sacrifice their own well being to stabilize the well being of others. india has it, so does uk, the united states and other residency programs. no country is goated as being the least toxic, highly paid program because let's face it, if that was the case you and i would be there rn and we wouldn't be watching this. how much you're getting pushed is dictated by the medical culture in your country. i'm from india and if you've worked here, even as an intern, you observe the workload is insane (x n times more IP and OP than the states and uk because numerically, we are a larger population with poor screening tools therefore getting very complicated cases). entering residency for us, this is what we are used to and what we have seen since we were 2nd years. for them outside, they've probably dealt with lower IPs and OPs from the start and that is their norm. but when both parties enter residency, they're going to be stretched from the point of normal. they will face the same things we do, even with a lesser load because residents there are also being pushed beyond their limits (the limit itself being decided by your country's medical culture and demographics). it's not 'nothing', buddy. you can't compare the two (india vs outside) to begin with because both parties are groomed differently owing to population statistics, literacy levels, healthcare facilities, accessibility. however, the common ground is that residents are being shat upon everywhere.

No way!! I'm so flattered that you made this reaction video. Thank you 🙌
can u please share the link to ur video
The UK has issues in their healthcare system is why you are like this. They even have a nursing shortage.
I’m inspired that this British doctor had the guts to take the road less traveled and clearly did the right thing for herself.
Thank you ❤ I really do love my life and my work now!
As a resident i work on average 90-100 hours a week so i could relate to this...
I'm in my pgy1 Internal medicine and already hating it. 80+ hours a week 😢

@@ndktpf doesn’t explain Canada that has very little privatized medicine
I’m not even a doctor and I loved this video. Great perspectives from you and from Dr Sarah ❤
No sacrificing our health at all. I learned my lesson.

This is a great video. I have that book that she mentioned , too! Great book!
Seeing this as a first year medical student, MBBS program 😢😢😢.
1:50 that is true if you graduated from a medical school in US. If you are IMG ( both US and non-US), it’s 2 years.
Dudeeeee, this is so bad, it makes consider, when I´m done with residency, start entrepeneurship fr (medical one)
they need to make the system less shit.
