Proud to be a doctor.
Khaalid Cilmi Nuur I bet you’re Somali
Muna Abdullahi So?
@@munaabdullahi4947 lol what

Eladio Albornoz what’s a premed?
Bob, it's someone who wants to become a doctor. Often, it just refers to students- but there are unconventional pre-meds too...
Proud biomed here a.k.a premed
You are too pre med. student ?
Yayy me!
this was beautiful! future general surgeon over here
Optimistic Brenda Same. can't wait to become a General Surgeon
Thank you, for your amazing inspiration for any path in life. Well, said!!!
Looked at the list of descriptions of what it's like being a surgeon, and realized that already perfectly describes what it's like being an EMT. The only part that gets me is "dealing with tough people"- I don't mind it from patients, but I hate it when those people are my co-workers at times. Otherwise, that I love being an EMT, specifically for those reasons listed, is a good indication I'll love being a surgeon if I make it...
A surgeon in the making 😘😘very much inspirational.
That was one of the amazing speech i have heard its really helps in discovering myself better and knowing what i want from life thanks a-lot
Trying to be profound, found ambiguity instead. Glad he loves his job. Being operated on by someone who hates his job is a pain.
Hats Off for you doc, Brilliant Presentation
I don't care how hard the process is to become a surgeon. It's time is temporary anyways. And the job can last forever.
Tyler Holliday nothing lasts forever my friend
And have mandatory retirement by 65
@@miavnavarro LOL you heard of private practice? Only death can retire you from being a doctor.
Thank you... For your inspirational speech Sir...
Thank you! You just motivated me
🦋 Thank you for your testimony. 🦋
"If you choose a job you love, you have to never work a day in your life":👏👏👏
I'm here as a resident of surgery feeling happy after my last 24hrs shift, because I helped a man with my own hands. That's a beautiful job, I really recommend it - but remember - it is a very demanding job when it comes to your personal life, it demands a lot of devotion.
Not many people can become surgeons no matter how hard you try people’s brain isn’t wired that way
This was inspirational, thank you!
I'm listening to this everyday ! Please make more. Please.
Thank you for this marvelous talk, one of a kind
You are just the instrument of God ! Yes I love it. So inspirational
So inspirational😍🔝
Before you undergo the long and dreadful path of becoming a physician, I think you should evaluate whether it is actually your dreams or your parents. It will matter a lot during the stressful training moments that inevitably lead to the dreadful question, "Why am I here?"
I don't know how I feel about the cliche, "I want to be a doctor because I wanted to ever since I was 4 years old", type of stories. Realistically, a four-year-old doesn't know what a doctor is until their parents put the idea in their head. Often times, it's not that you wanted to become a doctor, but it's that your parents put it in your mind that they want you to become a doctor. There's nothing wrong with it, but I guess it's just one of my pet peeves...
I come from a middle Eastern / Asian household. My parents always had very high expectations of their children. My mother wanted me to be a dentist. I went with it to appease her but I never succeeded. I didn't care about teeth enough to commit to studying towards entering dental school.
Now i think of changing careers to study medicine. I think winning my parent's approval is an important factor into my decision but fundamentally, I want to travel to impoverished areas as a doctor and provide healthcare to those who need it the most. I was deeply inspired and moved by David Notts' story.
I'm good with my hands, I can draw well and play guitar beautifully. My ambition is to be a surgeon though I'm not sure which specialty.
I have yet to even sit the med school entry exam nor apply. But one day I'll make it so I'm a doctor when I'm not too old.
I'd have to sacrifice much for this but I want to. I'm eager for my future 😊
Shah Zad Unfortunately, or maybe somewhat fortunately, I was not privileged to have parents that pushed me to do anything prestigious. I decided that I wanted to become a surgeon based on my own intrinsic desire. That has helped me a lot because I actually enjoy what I am doing. I don’t mind the 80-100 hrs a week schedule because I myself has chosen this path.
Be careful. The many people that complain are the ones doing surgery for the prestige. There are other fields in medicine. That aren’t as rigorous and even more rewarding ( financially and spiritually). Just make sure you are doing it for the right reason. You’re going to be a doctor! I see you as one. That in itself is impressive. Work hard. You will get it. I believe in you. When you finally do get to that point in your medical career, I trust that you will make the right decision.
There is a popular saying that goes, “If you could see yourself doing anything other than surgery, please do that.” I couldn’t and so I am here now. I am happy. Hopefully, you will be too! I hope one day you will be a future colleague!
@@nombla1111 thanks for the reply. I appreciate your support.
One unrelated quote that resonates with me is "The ship is safe in the harbour but that's not what ships are built for".
Best of luck in your endeavours.
@@nombla1111 Hi! I'm a med student. May I know how you are doing now?
Thank you future neurosurgeon here (hopefully)
Hey second future neurosurgeon here also
Hello there future neurosurgeons, 3rd future instrument of God in the OR here
THANKS YOU
Thank you sir 😄😄😄
Totally in love of this video no doubt about that just a small mistake which I just couldn't keep to myself at 2:46 "plain" spelt incorrectly totally understand as 'plane' and 'plain' are homophones.
Everyone please have a good day and Thank You.
"Endless days and sleepless nights" isn't Guns n Roses, it's "I Remember You" from Skid Row
Great video
I super want to become a surgeon. But evething i have experienced was pretty difficult as well as challenging. I actually feel lost and really need someone give me a hand😶
Best motivational speaker for surgeon ever..
Ever🤗
As a 13 year old who wants to be neurosurgeon such videos gives me a lot of hope. The man is really cool and inspirational. I hope I will live up to the goal which I have kept for myself.
I take the pleasure to have been a surgeon even with endless days and sleepless nights. Given another life I would still choose to be a surgeon, only a surgeon and a better surgeon.
Definitely the best way i can choose. Future neurosurgeon here 👀
the plane crash immediately reminded me of greys anatomy
Me too
"You can have it all. You just cant have it all at once"
Bu yola çıkan gençlerin ve kızımın yolları açık olsun. Dilerim bir gün amacınıza ulaşırsınız. Herkesin kalbine göre versin mevlam.😊🌹
It's better to say doctor profession as a service of mankind than job😊
I want to be an otorhinolaryngology surgeon but my grades are hanging on a thread, Pls pls Lord
You can get all, but not at once
I will become a surgeon; and when I do I will come back to this comment and update you guys.
I stepped the first step in my life wish me luck
value of an open exchange SOME TIME ALSO WITH BILL
Awake trying to find inspiration.
God uses doctors to treat but we should not be too boastful. And we should always pray that God guide us in healing
I also want to become a surgeon doctor please pray for me
Best ted talk I’ve ever watched
The craze of being surgeon is strange
Sometimes i think a doctor not a surgeon is not a doctor.. thats craze
Awesome
Last line by Steve Jobs.

🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏
Did he spell plane wrong? 2:49
1. The song isnt by Guns N Roses. Its by Skid Row haha
2. Very inspirational. I want to be a surgeon as well. The part about the calling was helpful!
I'm 16 about to enter senior high school
I want to become a Cardiothoracic Surgeon. I just love to help people and be used by God as an instrument to help them. I watched this because I'm doubting myself atm, idk why but I know in my heart I still want to become a Surgeon and help people
lmaooooo high school? but why would you want to become a cardio surgeon? just because its cool? you havent even started medical school yet so how do you know you like surgery?
@@hamzatariq4037It’s good to have an idea. It’s nice for motivation. and yes, it’s not set in stone obviously. When you go to med school, you’ll do rotations.
Un chirurg de exceptie!
As a Romanian, I can attest that our medical school is way superior to many. Greek , Iranian and many young guys are coming and study in RO. I can trust with my life any doctor there . Si acum, sa vorbim serious domnule doctor, engleza mai trebuie lucrata. Nu se spune “ any mistake I could do” Cu “ any mistake I could make”. Multi dinette “ Citate” le-am recunoscut din speak-urile altora de aici din US. Nothing wrong, I understand. Iar modestia, v-a dat afara de pe scena. Just kidding. Love ya
Ritika is my best friend 🤷🏻♀
also l want to be surgery
I can do it ,,,,,,,,no any things can stop me
If it was for a medical students it is ok
Who here is pre pre-med (highschool)? 😁
I was a few years ago but good luck on starting your mission
BS MEDBIO STUDENT HERE
You know teleportation will change the job of surgeon no more butcher you have to adapt the position with the strenght of lorenz and the magnetic field ....
Doctor really you don't know GOD, he never been busy, he can hear every time every where are and all languages, even if you don't talk God knows what you thinking and worrying. ALLAHU akbar
한국인1등
raise your hand if you're a random procrastinater
I didn't find much value in this talk, all I could hear was "I am a surgeon... surgeons are cool... surgeons have surgical personalities...you must like being a hero if you want to be a surgeon....
He is egotistical
No he is not
He can screw 1000's and never go prison for disable and death patients/cattle.
Useless
