What a great video! Both your voices are so relaxing, and the production quality is just 📈. In the end I'm gonna have to always represent GKT though! Thanks for being such an inspiration guys!

[@ThatMedic]

Kharma Medic it’s all the microphones!!! GKT till I D.I.E

[@sakunsamady8874]

Both of you are my role model because I wish to study abroad for medical doctor at the UK

[@ThatMedic]

Whatttsss good everyone!! New vid out with Ali Abdaal! Link to his channel in the description, we did a video over on his channel that will go live at 1900!!! Lemme know what you man think??

[@trihardFTW]

I know this is supposed to be a fun chilled out video & I enjoyed it.
But on serious note, I remember the words that a family friend who’s a consultant told me a while back & i still remember it all the time.
He said that you shouldn’t worry so much about which university you go to, but about working hard to make sure you do get into a medical school.
Because getting into medicine is in itself a huge achievement, and I would say that it’s the equivalent of getting into Oxbridge for any other degree.

[@ThatMedic]

trihardFTW 100%

[@y0Milan]

'any other degree' is completely untrue, there are kids going to med school on aab - Oxbridge STEM is the equal of getting into ANY medical school. Medicine at a 2nd/3rd tier school is perhaps better than getting into oxbridge for arts/humanities.

[@y0Milan]

@@sianisenthilkumar190 Yeah I guess why most of the senior surgeons and NHS directors across the nation are from a small concentration of elite Medical Schools? wait.....

[@laveenay647]

Great video! I'll be 17 when I start university too and I was wondering if you ever felt left out during freshers because of it? I'm a bit worried that I won't be able to socialise as well as everyone else.

[@dvg4868]

Laveena Y no one really cares about age. It’s your character that they’ll look at more to make friends

[@ThatMedic]
