I don’t know why, but hearing from a physician that “it’s all worth it” made me feel relieved. I guess I just needed to hear that. I also really liked hearing that sometimes it’s a “thankless job” because it makes you realize that becoming a physician isn’t supposed to be about your glory, it’s supposed to be about serving others and promoting God’s glory too.
"Do the best job today with what you can, because you might not live that long anyways" - Dr. Fisher. Now I'm having an existential crisis when all I wanted to do was try to stay positive 😩
A doctor telling me that it’s going to be worth it in the end and that I have what it takes after going through so much stress and anxiety this year, gives me so much of happiness, hope and strength to do it all again next year until I get to the other side.
I watched this at the right time. Honestly feel like crying because I am in my first year (at age 32) and it's been so hard to push at all times. This video is truly inspired - thank you. You have gained a lifetime subscriber in me man, I can't tell you how much energy and inspiration this video has given me. I'll be coming back to watch it every month I reckon! God bless you! :) LOL
i started med school late as well (29) and as a woman with no children it feels like the odds are stacked against me but keep trying, you are where you are supposed to be, Keep it pushing
I have a professor who is also a Doctor and she said the same thing as Dr. Wilde said about how important Understanding is. 🤍 To all Future Doctors, We All Got This! We Will Get Through This Together! 🤍
look. im going to be honest for a second. The youtube algorithm brought this video to me. But im here now and feel compelled to comment after hearing all positive advice of all my fellow physicians in the video. firstly, if you're in high school or college, i want to emphasize that its a difficult road and if you're doing this for altruistic purposes only, there are many fields out there in which you can help people and potentially make a bigger difference in their lives. At least roads, without the stress of a multitude of exams or inexplicable medicine debt. Many people go into medicine as a hobby and go into higher paying fields, which, in my opinion, more than likely make the least impact in patients lives (personal opinion, but you can crucify me). So they can say "its totally worth it" or "its better on this side". I chose nephrology for two reasons 1) bc i thoroughly enjoy the science and equations in the field and 2)The demographic of patients in the field (whom look a lot like me) are woefully neglected. Some physicians practice as medicine as a hobby and if thats gonna be your mentality its not worth it. Now..with that being said, if you're having doubts that you'd be able to do it or be "smart enough" to get through it. Please dispel that thought immediately. Any human whom really wants to do medicine and finds it interesting and is willing to put in the work will be able to do it. You cannot do it yourself. you need to find groups of like-minded people to study with and push each other academically. If you doubt you can do it because you're not ready to sacrifice 10 years of your life or because of the student debt or hours involved, thats perfectly fine as well. It doesn't make you a failure one iota. Medicine, again my opinion, is over-glorified and individuals in it are given the benefit of the doubt before they prove their worth. The field doesn't make the individual, the individual makes the field.
I'm starting medical school in January, hopefully & trust me, I can't tell HOW inspiring and encouraging this video is! I've been watching your channel for a long time now, and to see you grow into both the fields (Media & Medicine) and make such great content out of it makes me want to look upto you! Being someone who's interested in both media and medicine, out of everything on your channel, YOU inspire me the most! Go ND MD! :)
ND this is the best present for Christmas! Those people inspired me to study harder and harder to become a med student and hopefully a physician in the US one day. Thank you so much for your hard work and I hope you spend an amazing Christmas! 🎁🎄
I have my med school finals in ten days and I was feeling so down cuz I didn't wanna be locked up in my room through the holidays but this is the best thing that could have happened rn TT imma get back to studying! And do my best to become a good doctor :) thank you so much ND MD
I'm graduating undergrad at AU and I've had the privelage of working in research for MCG and working in the AU-ED and I have to say that I'm proud of the institution I come from because of all the wonderful people here, like the doctors featured in this video. There are a wealth of great people at Augusta that are so happy to help you... if you are someone considering going to MCG, go for it. These people are real and care about you. AU is working hard to improve mental health on campus and they've made a huge difference. MCG is awesome
Thank you for this. I badly needed to hear all that. I’m in MS 3, currently in the middle of finals and I’m just burnt out. Some days I loose sight of why I’m doing all these things and this video came through. Thank you so much for doing this. Appreciate all the effort you put in! Hope you stay safe and well.
Thanks for posting. Protecting your mental health as a psychiatrist is important; and just as important as for every physician, is protecting your overall health: physical and mental. Thanks.
Andy, thank you so much for putting this collection of interviews together. As a premed, watching your videos fuel my passion even more to pursue medicine. All of the guest on your channel thus far have been wonderful to observe and listen to. We truly appreciate you and wish you the best in your own studies!!
How time flies seeing one of the invterviews with the anesthesiology resident back in pre-u and now seeing this compilation video in med school really gave me the motivation to keep going! Great job love seeing more and merry Christmas!!
Looking forward to implementing more of what I learn from this channel into my medical practice. Got 5 and and half years to go till graduation. I see great things for this channel in future.
3:06 - Memorization helps you far less if you're unable to connect the dots that are infront of you (patient anamnesis, physical exam and lab results). Remembering "I GET SMASHED" for pancreatitis is far less important than being able to understand why the diagnosis causes the symptoms that it does, and how it's connected with the anamnesis/physical exam/lab/radio. Pneumonics are good for learning, but i don't use any of them actively in practice. If you want to go into internal medicine, know that you'll spend the majority of your time behind a desktop reading and writing notes. I loved the invastigative nature of internal medicine during my rotations there, but it was too much paperwork. In that sense, anesthesiology is the shit - and if you want to be even better, do cardiology for some time before going into critical care medicine. Also - the neurosurgeon answered according to the neurosurgeon stereotype lol. Unintentional god complex
Hi I'm a First Nursing Student and in my pre med course. My hopes are high on achieving my goal of becoming a Neurosurgeon with a purpose of helping a lot of people that are in need. Thank you for sharing your advices!
RUclips algorithm suggested this video to me just as i was about to close my laptop from a hectic, draining day as i prepare for my final exam of med school. I needed this. i needed the "its worth it" Thank you and happy holidays
I don't know if you'll see this comment, but I just wanted to say that the first person Andy interviewed really helped me get the closure to just accept the reality and the fact that if I want to be a Med Student I have to work hard for it. I am currently a senior high school student, a STEM student to be exact, and I don't seem to act and work just like how my other classmates do but I hope that I'll get there someday. I am quite disappointed at myself because I don't think that I am the type of person Med Students are like. I don't have great time management skills, but I am learning and trying to get there at some point. Another problem is that I just seem to avoid memorization. I am quite a lazy person if I do say so myself. But I am willing to change that. I am just happy that I got the closure today that if I want to be a Med Student, I must be willing to change to be competent, a hard working person who needs to learn how to memorize more effectively, and a person who knows what they are doing and why they are doing it! I want to have those attributes. I just hope that one day, when I look back into this comment I would be reminded of how this video helped me. I am really glad that God lead me this way! I hope that you are doing well Andy and those you've interviewed. May God bless you all! I feel so blessed that I have found your channel!💗 Praise be to God!🥰
Love this Andy! Always here to support you! Your amazing and I'm so thankful for your videos. Thank you for putting this together! Merry Christmas Andy
Thank you so much!! I’m in the middle of studying for my MCAT and wondering whether this is the right thing to do as I’m currently 27 yo and some of my peers are already in their senior residency and some attendings. But thank you so much for this. Have a happy and blessed Christmas and new year ahead!
Im in the same boat! And ive given up studying at least 3x. But the fact that we still want to do this means it’ll be worth it. Your gonna be 32 anyways, why not be 32 and a doctor!
This video was amazing and very inspiring. Your videos continue to be deeply motivational, which is rare to find and thanks for this amazing Christmas gift.
Awe this was awesome. Exciting to see 4 Doctors I follow. They all gave excellent advise. This I think is good for whatever career u looking at. Thank u!!❤❤
I want to become a cardiothoracic surgeon one day, i couldnt find any advice from either a cardiologist or cardiothoracic ;( it'd be great if u interview them pleaseeeee❤❤
@@NDMD the effort u put into ur channel really helps alot of aspiring med students literally from all over the world Keep doing what u do. Love from pakistan 🇵🇰
I love you for making those videos, and even more for this one ❤️. Hope i get to do a 73 questions with you one day, except i'll ask you everything haha. Cheers 🙏🏻❤️
Medical school and graduate school don't seem worth it in general. Better to get done with school in 4 years with a degree in computer science, engineering, or economics and make money right away, rather than lose time, money, and health for another 4-8 years in postgraduate and incur a huge loss in opportunity cost.
You seem so genuine and sweet. All of your videos you come off honest and kind. You have great vibes and these videos are educational and I'm glad you found time in your busy schedule to make them. Cheers!
I scored 641 marks in NEET 2021.I am getting a good government medical college in Maharashtra.But our class 12th teacher says that the doctors are going to be replaced by computer science and artificial intelligence.Is is really going to happen?

Hello! Would love to see a cardiology and/ or a ct surgeon video!

I also really liked hearing that sometimes it’s a “thankless job” because it makes you realize that becoming a physician isn’t supposed to be about your glory, it’s supposed to be about serving others and promoting God’s glory too.
amen!!
Yeah I totally get what you mean!
He interviewed doctors who are famous meaning they will all have positive opinions. So i would say this biased
Amen
@@tysonkicks8596 only a few of these doctors are “famous,” most of them actually work with his school.

Dr. Fisher gave the best advice. Leaving anxiety is one of the best decisions we can make as students

What stood out for me "Protect your mental health at all costs."
We can do it future physicians. There is a light at the end of the tunnel.
