After hearing your story , I couldn't love your philosophy towards life more. Being positive, experiencing everything and loving your own career are things you teach me in this video clip. Though I am not a doctor, I think your suggestions are suitable for every job. Thanks for sharing your life with us. Looking forward to watching your next video!
Actually I have watched this video for three times, I still love the part when you talk about "being human". No matter what your career is, showing true emotion is not always unacceptable, as long as you show it in a proper way. On the other hand, showing emotion means you care about your job, not because you have no other choice but to do this. Thanks for liking my comment, and thank you for making great videos. Love from Taiwan!
One of my reason of becoming a doctor is because a friend told me that i will not survive in med school. Now he’s no longer in med school and i’m stuck being an actual doctor.
I'm sorry, can we talk about Adderall use and abuse in medical schools & the profession Dr. Mike? This quote "This is the perfect example of beauty with brains" reminded me about the reality and pressures associated with a medical career and the profession in the US. Not all that glitters is real gold these days, especially on social media and instagram. I don't want everyone to lose their self-confidence. While I'm not saying anyone uses, I'm know many in medical school know about the perfectly legal Adderall epidemic going on in this country and profession. www.self.com/story/adderall-the-get-ahead-drug www.nytimes.com/2016/10/16/magazine/generation-adderall-addiction.html
I'm only a highschool student and I don't even want to have a career in medicine, but everything you said here is such valuable advice... I'll come back to this video. You'll probably never see this comment, but thank you from the bottom of my heart.
Today, I got accepted to the same combined BS/DO program at NYIT as Dr. Mike!! Your videos are truly been an inspiration, and I look forward to all your videos in the future! Thank you for everything you do for the community and your RUclips channel!
Hey, just wondering how your experience with it is? I got accepted as well and was wondering how difficult it is, if you genuinely enjoy the classes you take, and how the environment (especially the other students in the program) is?
NOT RELATED BUT HI THERE, IT’S NOT TOO LATE TO REPENT, BUT SOON IT WILL BE. YOU’RE NOT PROMISED TOMORROW, REPENT AND ACCEPT JESUS AS YOUR LORD AND SAVIOR. JOHN 14:6, JESUS SAID TO HIM, “I AM THE WAY, THE TRUTH AND THE LIFE; NO ONE COMES TO THE FATHER BUT BY ME. ACTS 4:12, AND THERE IS SALVATION IN NO ONE ELSE, FOR THERE IS NO OTHER NAME UNDER HEAVEN GIVEN AMONG MEN BY WHICH WE MUST BE SAVED.
DON’T DIE WITHOUT ACCEPTING JESUS IN YOUR LIFE, IT’S A FEARFUL THING TO ENTER A “CHRIST-LESS” ETERNITY. GOD IS LOVING, MERCIFUL AND FORGIVING. HE'S STILL WAITING FOR YOU TO COME BACK HOME TO HIM!!🥰
THE LORD AND SAVIOR JESUS CHRIST IS COMING BACK, BE PREPARED FOR HIS SECOND COMING, HE WOULD LOVE TO BE WITH YOU IN HEAVEN FOREVER!!🥰
Steve Suprise I agree. He explained everything so well and has a great aura. The only problem is how can you concentrate with her professor like him LOL I’ll be daydreaming if you know what I mean
I just want to encourage everyone here, it’s NEVER TOO LATE to go to school. To put your education first. I’m 21 and just starting prerequisites for med school. I knew someone who went to med school at 50 years old. it’s never too late, be determined, be strong and do it!
Im 22 yo, I was studying something else and left everything to try med school, it was such a hard decision bc I knew itd take a lot of time, courage and effort to actually become a doctor but after studying something I wasnt passionate about I realized how much I craved to help people and save lives, so I started all over again, no matter what people said about my age. What Im learning is: Time goes really fast when you focus. My first year in med school is almost over, Im enjoying every chapter I read, I couldnt be any happier. This speech means a lot to me, thank you for your words. Medicine is where my heart belongs.
I dropped out of college on my 3rd year, was studying English. Totally hated it and it started affecting my physical and mental health. There was only a bunch of people who understood my decision, and to this day, some think that it was a bad idea cause I'm the only who's not a graduate in my family. Am currently studying to be a pre-primary school teacher, it doesn't pay so well here, in Mauritius, and the same people who discouraged me from quitting college are the ones to not appreciate that I found my calling. But I think, enough with the haters, am doing my thing regardless of what it might take. And am planning on bringing some reforms in the teaching methods here. So yeah, power to me, and power to you, for knowing where our hearts are, and doing the right moves at the right time. 🎈
I'm in 3rd year of med school , i started when i was like 17, my roommate is 23 or something and he started med school along with me..so it's never late. my father actually dropped out of another course to do medicine because he couldn't do some other course when he really wanted medicine . it's never late, it's a risky move, but you made it and you succeeded, it's a win
I’m a sophomore in high school who’s going to be a future surgeon!! I’ve always wanted to be a a doctor but young me always thought women couldn’t be surgeons lol i don’t know why😂. Anyways I’m a determined student who’s absolutely excited for college and med school. I love every single thing about it and there’s nothing yet that has made me think about dropping this future! Hopefully I make it thorough❤️
I gave up on College before I got diagnosed with ADHD now that I’m medicated I can’t wait to go back...I’m hoping to go on to graduate school for psychology to be a forensic psychologist. Thanks for making higher education seem like an achievable goal ❤️ you’re definitely a big inspiration Mike
Dr Mike : *talks about his efforts and journey to med school passionately and in full story-telling mode* People in the comments section : hIs sHirT gOnNa riPpeD oUt
I am an Immigrant non english speaker, I passed my Dental Boards and soon going to start 2yr advanced program in Dental school at age 38. I can not imagine doing anything else in my life.
i'm getting my master's in computer science while working full-time with two kids. you bet i can forget society exists. i'm basically in quarantine already, lol.
My mom fell incredibly I'll when I was 10-12 and the doctors that were available to us at that time were not right... They prescribed the wrong medications which agrevated her condition. It started out as high blood pressure, then stomach ulcer than an "unknown disease" and they sent my mom home. As a child and the oldest, since my dad wasn't around at that time I had to take care of her and my little sister. That time I was forced to grow up faster. I had to cook, clean and wash and all that stuff my mom would do I also missed a lot of school days for this reason. I remember I used to wake up in the middle of the night and put my hand on my mom's forehead to check her temperature, I would lose sleep just to make sure she was okay. That motivated me because I was scared of losing my mom. When she got better I thought about all the other kids whose moms have passed because the doctors couldn't help enough... I wanted to be the one who helps in a way... I wanted to make sure to be involved in that whole process. This is why I want to be a doctor...🤗
I could say the same with me actually, my father fell ill I didn’t need to take care of siblings and my dad but he did go to the hospital and needed a triple bypass surgery, the doctors that took care of my dad weren’t the best. They wanted my father to go back to work when he was clearly not ready and his scars weren’t healed properly and my dad was doing a very physical job. He ended up getting a heart attack and passed away almost 2 years ago. From that day I want to become a surgeon and try to help the people in need since I don’t want anyone going though what I’ve been through. We have almost the same reason why we want to be a doctor, this is the first time someone has close to the same story that I have. 😁
That is an unreal level of commitment. The memorizing, fast tracking med school, committing so hard to the residencies and even the current diet... Idk what's driving you but it's pretty powerful. And rare.
With the amount of editing and takes he puts into these videos, he's either spending a lot of time on them himself or getting help. I've noticed from his videos he has friends help with the camera stuff quite often.
I’ve never seen someone so in love with their career and the way Mike talks about life with such enthusiasm and willingness to grow and constantly learn more is honestly so refreshing and encouraging
I'm so glad you said that part about medicine being a community. Even in nursing school we had "gunners." I never understood putting others down in school or showing someone up. Some people just don't realize they're going to end up working together as a team after graduation. I was the study group creator in nursing school and found it was easier and more fun to learn as a group and quiz each other on content (snacks included obvi). It was super helpful to learn how my classmates study and tips for studying more effectively. Boards are hard, but having a study buddy makes it easier.
"I wanna make a difference in the world and science falls in my skillset." When you said that, it gave me chills. That answer connected me internally. I am going to seriously consider looking into med school. I graduate from undergrad in may, but It's never too late.
Not everyone needs to be doctor. What he said is true; you have the patient vs the board/x as other profession. Regardless, Finished grad school in environmental engineering, making a difference in geospatial and water quality. I prefer to clean what people naturally pollute and protect human health.
My opinion has always been that if I have the ability to achieve, it is my obligation to society to achieve it. I want to reach the absolute limit of my abilities and apply it to something moral
Maybe it's good to look up/try out different study methods. Flash cards are a good way yes. Maybe quizlet helps? Basically, you can fill in the things you need to learn or memorize and it will repeat until you get it right (and later on repeat it again to see if you remember it). But it is also good to study in parts and not 'binge study' the night before (I know a lot do it and for some it works), but it helps you to remember these things in the long term. Overall, my teachers kept saying to keep a calm or positive mindset. Maybe that helps? I don't like giving false hope, but little reminders such as 'you can do this' or 'you're half way there' won't hurt :D♥ good luck with your studies!!
Your dad is goals. Going through medical school not only once, but choosing to go through it a second time...That is purely wanting to educate yourself and aspiring to be the best most efficient doctor he could be. That is truly admirable. I’m thankful that driven people like your father and yourself are health care providers in this country. 🙏🏻
I graduated BS Pharmacy (a 4 years course) then go to medical school right after I graduated. Now i'm a 4th year medical student (clerkship/clinical internship/junior intern) here in the philippines. Now its lockdown we were pulled out in the hospital after 9 months ( because of our safety we are not yet licensed doctors without having hazard pay yet or insurance if something happens to us because of covid 19, and our university is liable if something happens) of straight duties without absent, tho I have still 3 months rotations left. Now i'm preparing for my revalida exam to spare my time and to be productive somehow. Being honest with you all, for the past 24 days of being self isolated, living in my apartment alone and far from family resulting to depression and unproductivity. Now i'm watching your vids to feed my passion again and not to lose my track. Medicine is very stressful, and challenging. That's why it's very interesting and inspiring to continue this craziest career in the world every day. Medicine is a lifetime learning and passion. Keep pushing guys!
My mom is a DNP working for a private prison that has just recently been hit with Covid-19. The stress that my mother and her coworkers feel is unimaginable; everyone is constantly worried about spreading the disease to their family and losing someone. However, they still go to work and keep risking their lives every day. I respect my mom so much for taking risks and saving people's lives. Covid-19 has really affected the healthcare industry a lot, but thank you for being a passionate doctor that is willing to help. I'm aspiring to go into the field of psychiatry to help people in a different way, but I still highly respect every other type of doctor!
Hey man I'm from the Philippines as well, currently a pharmacy freshman, how did pharmacy prepare you for MCAT? Did u make time and review for subjects that aren't in pharmacy?
@@herc1067 as a pharmacy student before we have no time to study for mcat/nmat cause of too much workload before graduation, too much stressed for board exam. I took the pharmacy boards while im having loads of exams as a medical student. My luck is too high for nmat/mcat I cannot suggest you that. that's why if you have spare time now use it wisely cause i didn't have discipline before. Godbless
I started Pharmacy school 4 years ago when you posted this video. I am graduating next May but I plan to pursue medical school after that and it’s extremely daunting because I am already going to be 27 years old by then. After hearing you talk I feel much more motivated because I cannot imagine doing anything else with my life. I love medicine and I am highly curious about our body and the way that it works. I also listened to your video on the difference between MDs and DOs and after that I am seriously considering DO school. Thank you for sharing!
me : I want to be a neurosurgeon !!!! my grades : nah fam you're gonna be a Wendy's cashier edit: YOU GUYS - famous on youtube comments or whuteva, my grades are getting better!!!
I got one B+ and two A- in college (UCLA), and the rest were A+ or A. I studied for the MCAT by getting paid to take lecture notes for physics and chemistry undergraduate courses at UCLA. I was the top of my class in medical school. My secret? I studied my butt off. It really doesn't take a genius to become a doctor.
You just motivated me SO MUCH to be my own person in my health science field. I wanna be smart, hardworking and so frickin in love with my profession. Thank you thank you thank you
I wish you were my brother but hear me out I am stage 4 cancer survivor berkitts lymphoma, I have mosaic turners syndrome and hashimotos and severe hearing loss and having someone like you would make me feel so much safer and better . Thank you for genuinely caring about people
17:00 Don’t be the sort of person to tell people they’re doing something wrong, ask why they do something differently. You will learn instead of insult.
With those looks, if he wanted to and if he was good at it, he could be a leading man-actor in movies or even a male model. But I`m glad he`s a doctor and doing what he loves-and he is clearly very passionate about the field of medicine. Society needs more doctors.
I have watched literally over a hundred videos about medschool related stuff and have been confident sometimes that I can get through but utterly stressed and depressed other times. I am currently a senior in highschool, and I don't have the best grades, but hell I have been working my ass off trying to figure out how to succeed in school and applying to schools. This video literally brought me to tears; it is exactly what I needed to hear. It gave me hope- thank you so much.
"Enjoy the process" is THE best advice that you can follow, regardless of what you're doing for a living. Thank you. I believe you'll inspire a ton of people with this video. 🇧🇷🇧🇷🇧🇷
@@sapphiralyons2448 did you understand how he broke it down by saying how he applied for that program in highschool? If you did please explain it further to me😊
sis me I think he was applying to certain programs you can take as a Highschool student to start early. but I think it honestly depends on where you live. if you want to join programs that can help you yk with getting started early you can do some research or even talk to a counselor when you go back to school or as you’re doing research call someone and speak to them to see what you have to do :)
I have no intentions of being a doctor, I really appreciate the work doctors do, just not my thing but this video was very very inspirational, just thought I would share. Have a nice day those reading this lonely comment.
I'm a law student from India and we have a rigorous competitive exam structure and a lot of emphasis on memorizing too. Listening to you motivated me to persist and try harder. Thanks for being such an inspiration Dr. Varshavski. Your ardent fan, follower, subscriber :)
I'm an engineering student and if there's any video here I keep coming back to, it's this. You inspire me to put forth my best and remember why I'm here in the first place, to learn, embrace the process and not stress over each test that comes
Call me crazy but after he said, "I watched the lectures at an accelerated speed." I started watching this video at 1.5 speed. Frankly, I found it helpful, I talk fast naturally, and it's usually hard for me to slow down my speech. Hearing things at 1.5 speed, particularly videos, I think will actually help me in the future. Thank you for the amazing tip, Mike!
Diana Son + Very much agree Diana. I'm very hard on my kids with school, being respectful, etc. I've had many people over the years tell me I'm too hard on them. My children are now 16 and 12. We have a very close and loving relationship and they're so respectful of others, especially to me and they're kind, smart, genuinely good kids. I always say how lucky I got. They're still so young and we've hit bumps in the road and continue to grow as a family but I couldn't be more proud or feel more blessed. People always compliment me on how respectful they are, it always makes me feel proud. We're not perfect at all but I couldn't be more proud of them💜
I just loved the fact that your father took efforts to tute you and study with you. It is very helpful when children are young and that allows children to have a good reading /studying discipline.
he is the same age as me, makes me question what I've been doing in my life. Certified Personal Trainer but working in Retail....want to study science but need the money which is why i'm in retail. Need to change this :\
Remember we all have different starting points. Don't beat yourself up and use him as inspiration. Good luck with your science study! I want to go on an anatomy course but can't afford it right now. So I'm learning a lot from secondhand books and yt videos so that when I do the course I'm likely to be more successful :)
It is a great opportunity to use your time wisely & study what you may learn in the course. That way you're ahead. I used that same tactic with my Health & Fitness course & people saw I knew what I was talking about. Good luck with your future successes, friend :)
Well, he did say his entire family are doctors. We can look at someone like him and say he alone was responsible for his success but there's more to it: family influence and support plays a huge role, good nutrition for brain development etc. As he was saying, school shouldn't be your entire life and your job shouldn't be *your* entire life. Enjoy your life and give 100% in everything you do, even if you are working in retail. It's a great opportunity to learn about customers and a business which can be parlayed into your work as a personal trainer.
This is the best video I've seen on Medicine and Medical school so far! I just graduated Med school from India & I'm now preparing for the post-graduation exams to pursue Residency . My field of interest is Psychiatry. My brother is doing his Family Medicine residency in India & he loves it !! I love how passionate you are about this field & how pure your heart is :) I wish to meet you one day whenever I visit US. God bless you :) The Medical community is blessed to have someone like you. You're my inspiration :)
I've dealing with depression for quite some time, I gotta say I'm losing scores on my mock tests and making me more depressed. I know I've other options as a career but I can never see my self in future other than a doctor I want to practice medicine. I'm from India and here NEET is the biggest competitive exam to get into and undergraduate medical course. What I basically want to say is you inspired me. I was dealing with so much anxiety that I lost interest in basically everything. but you made me remember what my dreams were. Thank you
Doctor Mike I am having a problem with which pre med degree to go for, I know I want to do medicine but that pre med degree is a problem. I am a freshmen in college.
I am 16 years old.I am not very good in science but i love human body.I love biology chimistry math but i am not good in physics.What you recomanded me?❤
I went into it for the right reasons( I love medicine, love science, want to help people, ect), I just didn't realize how stressful it would be or how bad I was at chemistry. I've struggled with a host of mental health issues all my life and they probably will continue for the rest of my life(I've been on meds and in therapy since the age of 9, I am now 21, I'm thinking is going to be lifelong). Medical school would kill me. After that I was considering either nursing or speech therapy, eventually I decided on speech therapy. I hope to graduate with my bachelor's in the spring of 2023 and then head to grad school.
Could you do a video about financial aid, grants, or other financial help available for medical students? Also were you daunted by prospective loan costs when you started? Haha, that seems more scary than books and rotations.
I'm in pre-med currently, but I've talked to advisors on loans and paying for life through med school. Med school it's self doesn't cost 300k+, it's the extra money you pull included that makes it that high. They know a med student can NOT work, so they include everything: rent, electric, water, food, clothing, car, insurance.. ect., in your tuition. The advice from my advisor to pay it back is to live off of my residency income for the first two years out of residency and that will leave me loan free. Therefore, I'll be making around 230k a year out of residency, but I'll live off of 75k (a little more then residency) and that leaves the rest of my income to pay off the loans.
Honestly, this channel is so interesting and entertaining. I’ve just discovered it like yesterday and dude, you’re really good! Great contents. Keep it up 🙌
I don't even want to be a doctor yet your perpective on life and genuine personality inspires me to learn more about your journey! I'm in the process of pursuing my CPA and your thoughts on worrying about every test that comes my way is not the way to live my life. While I am currently taking 6 classes and managing an internship at a local accounting firm, I almost have exams every two weeks and it can very stressful at times. However, by focusing on the obstacles that I am facing at the moment and taking them as they come gives me an alternate perspective on this way of life. As two very educated individuals, it's intriguing to learn about the journey of an individual who went down a completely different path then me. While certain aspects of medince interest me such as orthopedics, I respect the dedication and perseverance that you exhibited throught your medical journey. What I would like to know about you is why family medicine as opposed to oncology or varying form of medicine?
You're not just sharing your story, but giving some tips for us in term of how to make a right choice for our future career and how to prepare for the interview. It help me a lot, thank you so much!
I know this is an older video, but I love these types of videos where you can just put headphone in and listen to the person talk about whatever while your doing something. Which is weird because I don’t really like podcast but I love going on RUclips and listening to RUclipsrs stories especially yours!
thats ok, people are bombarded with this idea that everyone must know what they want to do for the rest of their life or that they can just follow what they're passionate about (which, in a lot of cases, don't work out). I can't remember clearly but i saw somewhere that people in this generation change career choices around 5 times?? so yeh don't worry too much
Becoming a doctor will always be my number one goal. It is always on my mind 24/7. It is the reason I’m studying really hard. I’m still in my sophomore year of highschool but I have no other courses or future careers that I’m passionate about besides being a doctor. But I’m extremely worried because no one in our family has practiced medicine so I’m going to be alone fighting this battle. Its scary to think of it really. How can I prepare myself and cope with all the stress of med school without my family or friends feeling the same way?
Frances Therese i am in your exact situation. i’m a high school sophomore with no family members in medicine, yet i want nothing more than to be a doctor. this video really scared me, but nothing will end my interest in science and the human body.
Wow, my situation also. All I know is I have to be in medicine, if I decide not to be a doctor, I’ll be a pharmacist, if not that, a clinical researcher. Although this video helped me know what to look forward to if I decide being a doctor is right for me.
Frances Therese me too! Ima freshman but already so stressed abt my future of being an orthopedic surgeon. And it doesn’t help that I’m a control freak😂.
I’m 15 years old and I’m truly interested in medicine. My goal is to make people feel better, probably save their lives. In any case, thank you for this amazing video!
I just found this video when I was stressing about my finals in my second year of medical school and I can't tell you how much you've helped me come down and be assured that I got this. I just need to tackle the obstacle right in front of me. Also I was unsure about my approach of studying with questions but your explanation made me sure it was the best approach for me. I'm a student in Kenya. Wish me all the best guys☺️
@@matildesimoes5518 It went really well☺️ Thank you for asking. I am currently in my third year and we just resumed going to school physically today. I hope I remember how to study effectively and efficiently.
get in real estate. u have to really love medicine to sacrifice so much of ur life into it. Plus if u apply yourself in real estate as much as med students do and for as long as they do to become doctors, I PROMISE u u will have way more money than u need. Plus u dont need to go into debt to do real estate :)
As a high school student right now, this video really helped me realize how crucial hard work, setting goals and preparing for your future is right now . This video is really helpful, thank you Doctor Mike!
I really needed a video like this, because I'm still in highschool and I want to apply to med school. I feel stressed most of the time just thinking about how much I have to learn and the competition that is at that university. Your video made me a little bit less stressed so thank you:) Keep going because you're doing such a great job!
This video was informative on so many levels. I'm not a med student but I'm a undergrad and it motivated me to a whole new level! It was great to know journey!
Hello, Doctor Mike thnks so much for this video . It helped a lot to c my future as pre Med students . I would like to ask u if there’s a specific age u have to be for Med school . I’m a mother of 3 boys and I’m 33 already . I hopefully star school just next year .
I wish doctors were as passionate about their jobs as you seem to be. I’ve watched my parents deal with the worst and most jaded medical professionals over the years. As of late, my father is going through heart failure and just seeing how some of the younger doctors seem more knowledgeable but also just more compassionate about his condition. Others (mostly older doctors) look at my dad like just another number, basically an expiration date. I’m really hoping the newer generation of doctors and medical professionals are going to take their job’s more seriously. I feel like it’s a career that desperately needs compassionate, extraordinary individuals.
After hearing your story , I couldn't love your philosophy towards life more. Being positive, experiencing everything and loving your own career are things you teach me in this video clip. Though I am not a doctor, I think your suggestions are suitable for every job. Thanks for sharing your life with us. Looking forward to watching your next video!
Actually I have watched this video for three times, I still love the part when you talk about "being human". No matter what your career is, showing true emotion is not always unacceptable, as long as you show it in a proper way. On the other hand, showing emotion means you care about your job, not because you have no other choice but to do this. Thanks for liking my comment, and thank you for making great videos. Love from Taiwan!
Hello, fellow Taiwanese
yay taiwan!
erine
Sir what were your major in college
"I wasn't the most studious kid in high school"
"I would sit down and memorize pages word for word"
The other quote he referenced when he was in middle school
Being studious is a relative issue haha
😂
That was his dad making him do that, and in middle school lol
memorizing isn't the same as studying.
One of my reason of becoming a doctor is because a friend told me that i will not survive in med school. Now he’s no longer in med school and i’m stuck being an actual doctor.
Good Job! Don't let someone take you down, show them you're strong! 😊😉
Got dammit 😂
I’m stuck being an actual doctor 😂 atleast you got there though friend! 👍
Well done doctor!👏

I'm sorry, can we talk about Adderall use and abuse in medical schools & the profession Dr. Mike? This quote "This is the perfect example of beauty with brains" reminded me about the reality and pressures associated with a medical career and the profession in the US. Not all that glitters is real gold these days, especially on social media and instagram. I don't want everyone to lose their self-confidence.

How is ur program going on, please guide, how difficult it is

ACTS 4:12, AND THERE IS SALVATION IN NO ONE ELSE, FOR THERE IS NO OTHER NAME UNDER HEAVEN GIVEN AMONG MEN BY WHICH WE MUST BE SAVED.
DON’T DIE WITHOUT ACCEPTING JESUS IN YOUR LIFE, IT’S A FEARFUL THING TO ENTER A “CHRIST-LESS” ETERNITY. GOD IS LOVING, MERCIFUL AND FORGIVING. HE'S STILL WAITING FOR YOU TO COME BACK HOME TO HIM!!🥰
THE LORD AND SAVIOR JESUS CHRIST IS COMING BACK, BE PREPARED FOR HIS SECOND COMING, HE WOULD LOVE TO BE WITH YOU IN HEAVEN FOREVER!!🥰

You’d be a great professor if you ever chose to teach. You’re very efficient at explaining complex ideas.
Steve Suprise yeah!?
Steve Suprise I agree. He explained everything so well and has a great aura. The only problem is how can you concentrate with her professor like him LOL I’ll be daydreaming if you know what I mean
But all his student gonna all over him
I think he does teach med students on rotations.
Saw this video four years ago and I felt like I found my purpose. Three years of premed down now and going into my senior year. Thank you, truly.
That’s wonderful, thank you for finding such a valuable purpose and fulfilling it. Congrats ♥️
March 2024. Your comment shows it has been a year since you posted. How's it going? Did you make it?

I just want to encourage everyone here, it’s NEVER TOO LATE to go to school. To put your education first. I’m 21 and just starting prerequisites for med school. I knew someone who went to med school at 50 years old. it’s never too late, be determined, be strong and do it!
i am so nervous. i am one month in but idk man i genuinely slack too much and take it too lightly
@@aryan7767 it has been year how r u doing now?

Thank you for this i needed it🙏🏿
what a coincidence. I'm just starting perquisites for med school too and I'm 21 and yess it's never exactly too late
he taught me more in 20 minutes than my advisors and counselors did in my whole life. GOD BLESS
I had to pause for a lot of time to think about my life choices
Exactly what I was thinking!!

So true!!

And I'm not even in medicine
I'm in massage therapy.
Im 22 yo, I was studying something else and left everything to try med school, it was such a hard decision bc I knew itd take a lot of time, courage and effort to actually become a doctor but after studying something I wasnt passionate about I realized how much I craved to help people and save lives, so I started all over again, no matter what people said about my age. What Im learning is: Time goes really fast when you focus. My first year in med school is almost over, Im enjoying every chapter I read, I couldnt be any happier. This speech means a lot to me, thank you for your words. Medicine is where my heart belongs.
I dropped out of college on my 3rd year, was studying English. Totally hated it and it started affecting my physical and mental health. There was only a bunch of people who understood my decision, and to this day, some think that it was a bad idea cause I'm the only who's not a graduate in my family.
Am currently studying to be a pre-primary school teacher, it doesn't pay so well here, in Mauritius, and the same people who discouraged me from quitting college are the ones to not appreciate that I found my calling.
But I think, enough with the haters, am doing my thing regardless of what it might take. And am planning on bringing some reforms in the teaching methods here.
So yeah, power to me, and power to you, for knowing where our hearts are, and doing the right moves at the right time. 🎈
I'm in 3rd year of med school , i started when i was like 17, my roommate is 23 or something and he started med school along with me..so it's never late. my father actually dropped out of another course to do medicine because he couldn't do some other course when he really wanted medicine . it's never late, it's a risky move, but you made it and you succeeded, it's a win
I’m a sophomore in high school who’s going to be a future surgeon!! I’ve always wanted to be a a doctor but young me always thought women couldn’t be surgeons lol i don’t know why😂. Anyways I’m a determined student who’s absolutely excited for college and med school. I love every single thing about it and there’s nothing yet that has made me think about dropping this future! Hopefully I make it thorough❤️
Me tooo
I m facing alot of troubles
Props to your dad Mike, SERIOUSLY.

"you can't bury your head in a book for four years and forget society exists." Introvert in nursing school: Challenge Accepted!
I don’t mind doing that tbf
Truuu
Not only nurses but med school peeps too...
🤣
I relate to this on another level 👁👄👁 I'm extremely introverted
i'm getting my master's in computer science while working full-time with two kids. you bet i can forget society exists. i'm basically in quarantine already, lol.
My mom fell incredibly I'll when I was 10-12 and the doctors that were available to us at that time were not right...
They prescribed the wrong medications which agrevated her condition. It started out as high blood pressure, then stomach ulcer than an "unknown disease" and they sent my mom home.
As a child and the oldest, since my dad wasn't around at that time I had to take care of her and my little sister. That time I was forced to grow up faster. I had to cook, clean and wash and all that stuff my mom would do
I also missed a lot of school days for this reason.
I remember I used to wake up in the middle of the night and put my hand on my mom's forehead to check her temperature, I would lose sleep just to make sure she was okay.
That motivated me because I was scared of losing my mom. When she got better I thought about all the other kids whose moms have passed because the doctors couldn't help enough...
I wanted to be the one who helps in a way... I wanted to make sure to be involved in that whole process.
This is why I want to be a doctor...🤗
That is such a good reason and you could totally use it in a personal statement. I hope you're all doing better now.
This. This is amazing. Best of luck, and u got this
I could say the same with me actually, my father fell ill I didn’t need to take care of siblings and my dad but he did go to the hospital and needed a triple bypass surgery, the doctors that took care of my dad weren’t the best. They wanted my father to go back to work when he was clearly not ready and his scars weren’t healed properly and my dad was doing a very physical job. He ended up getting a heart attack and passed away almost 2 years ago. From that day I want to become a surgeon and try to help the people in need since I don’t want anyone going though what I’ve been through. We have almost the same reason why we want to be a doctor, this is the first time someone has close to the same story that I have. 😁
An amazing boy's story! Your Mum had an angel... God bless you!!!!!!
You got this!!
That is an unreal level of commitment. The memorizing, fast tracking med school, committing so hard to the residencies and even the current diet... Idk what's driving you but it's pretty powerful. And rare.

how the heck do you manage youtube and a full time doctor
Celine Baiocco Possamai putting out a video takes minutes..
No it really doesn't. Don't underestimate the effort and time it takes to produce regular videos.
With the amount of editing and takes he puts into these videos, he's either spending a lot of time on them himself or getting help. I've noticed from his videos he has friends help with the camera stuff quite often.
i'm pretty sure he has a whole team who does all the editing and the filming which is the longest part of making videos
hahahaha, minutes.... Please tell me that was a sarcastic response
I’ve never seen someone so in love with their career and the way Mike talks about life with such enthusiasm and willingness to grow and constantly learn more is honestly so refreshing and encouraging
I'm so glad you said that part about medicine being a community. Even in nursing school we had "gunners." I never understood putting others down in school or showing someone up. Some people just don't realize they're going to end up working together as a team after graduation. I was the study group creator in nursing school and found it was easier and more fun to learn as a group and quiz each other on content (snacks included obvi). It was super helpful to learn how my classmates study and tips for studying more effectively. Boards are hard, but having a study buddy makes it easier.
Hearing your dad’s story gave me hope that I can still enter medicine at 27. ❤️
Fighting 🧚♀️💕
27? THATS SO YOUNG, YOU U GOT THIS
Juan, you'll get this. I'm 33 and still considering doing it after my 35. If it's your dream, there's no limits to make it real.
I am 27 now, and still need an undergrad, still gonna try.
If u wanna finish at 34
"I wanna make a difference in the world and science falls in my skillset." When you said that, it gave me chills. That answer connected me internally. I am going to seriously consider looking into med school. I graduate from undergrad in may, but It's never too late.
Not everyone needs to be doctor.
What he said is true; you have the patient vs the board/x as other profession.
Regardless,
Finished grad school in environmental engineering, making a difference in geospatial and water quality.
I prefer to clean what people naturally pollute and protect human health.
My opinion has always been that if I have the ability to achieve, it is my obligation to society to achieve it. I want to reach the absolute limit of my abilities and apply it to something moral
Watching this while procrastinating studying for a med school exam ... oops
plau pagei how fitting
STUUUUUUDDYYY
HAHAHAHA
how did it go?
how did it go?
I stress out before every test, and as much as i study i keep forgetting everything😭
SAME you’re not alone!!
Maybe it's good to look up/try out different study methods. Flash cards are a good way yes. Maybe quizlet helps? Basically, you can fill in the things you need to learn or memorize and it will repeat until you get it right (and later on repeat it again to see if you remember it).
But it is also good to study in parts and not 'binge study' the night before (I know a lot do it and for some it works), but it helps you to remember these things in the long term.
Overall, my teachers kept saying to keep a calm or positive mindset. Maybe that helps? I don't like giving false hope, but little reminders such as 'you can do this' or 'you're half way there' won't hurt :D♥ good luck with your studies!!
yes king keep the beard!

Your dad is goals. Going through medical school not only once, but choosing to go through it a second time...That is purely wanting to educate yourself and aspiring to be the best most efficient doctor he could be. That is truly admirable. I’m thankful that driven people like your father and yourself are health care providers in this country. 🙏🏻
I graduated BS Pharmacy (a 4 years course) then go to medical school right after I graduated. Now i'm a 4th year medical student (clerkship/clinical internship/junior intern) here in the philippines. Now its lockdown we were pulled out in the hospital after 9 months ( because of our safety we are not yet licensed doctors without having hazard pay yet or insurance if something happens to us because of covid 19, and our university is liable if something happens) of straight duties without absent, tho I have still 3 months rotations left. Now i'm preparing for my revalida exam to spare my time and to be productive somehow. Being honest with you all, for the past 24 days of being self isolated, living in my apartment alone and far from family resulting to depression and unproductivity. Now i'm watching your vids to feed my passion again and not to lose my track. Medicine is very stressful, and challenging. That's why it's very interesting and inspiring to continue this craziest career in the world every day. Medicine is a lifetime learning and passion. Keep pushing guys!
Sam Lumba keep up the good work! Keep your chin up, the world needs more passionate, determined doctors like you will be I’m sure!
My mom is a DNP working for a private prison that has just recently been hit with Covid-19. The stress that my mother and her coworkers feel is unimaginable; everyone is constantly worried about spreading the disease to their family and losing someone. However, they still go to work and keep risking their lives every day. I respect my mom so much for taking risks and saving people's lives. Covid-19 has really affected the healthcare industry a lot, but thank you for being a passionate doctor that is willing to help. I'm aspiring to go into the field of psychiatry to help people in a different way, but I still highly respect every other type of doctor!

Hey man I'm from the Philippines as well, currently a pharmacy freshman, how did pharmacy prepare you for MCAT? Did u make time and review for subjects that aren't in pharmacy?
@@herc1067 as a pharmacy student before we have no time to study for mcat/nmat cause of too much workload before graduation, too much stressed for board exam. I took the pharmacy boards while im having loads of exams as a medical student. My luck is too high for nmat/mcat I cannot suggest you that. that's why if you have spare time now use it wisely cause i didn't have discipline before. Godbless
I started Pharmacy school 4 years ago when you posted this video. I am graduating next May but I plan to pursue medical school after that and it’s extremely daunting because I am already going to be 27 years old by then. After hearing you talk I feel much more motivated because I cannot imagine doing anything else with my life. I love medicine and I am highly curious about our body and the way that it works. I also listened to your video on the difference between MDs and DOs and after that I am seriously considering DO school. Thank you for sharing!
are u doing medicine now?
I'm in Med school and all I can say is wow. Sometimes I just want to give up but then I remember why I started it in the first place. I am in 4th year

Call me crazy but after he said, "I watched the lectures at an accelerated speed." I started watching this video at 1.5 speed. Frankly, I found it helpful, I talk fast naturally, and it's usually hard for me to slow down my speech. Hearing things at 1.5 speed, particularly videos, I think will actually help me in the future. Thank you for the amazing tip, Mike!
I’m a naturally fast talker too and I always do that with lectures :)
Did this all through school and it saved me so much time!

Oh man, listening to your dad's teaching method is a staple Russian parenting right there. Which is while tough can be very rewarding later on.
Diana Son + Very much agree Diana. I'm very hard on my kids with school, being respectful, etc. I've had many people over the years tell me I'm too hard on them. My children are now 16 and 12. We have a very close and loving relationship and they're so respectful of others, especially to me and they're kind, smart, genuinely good kids. I always say how lucky I got. They're still so young and we've hit bumps in the road and continue to grow as a family but I couldn't be more proud or feel more blessed. People always compliment me on how respectful they are, it always makes me feel proud. We're not perfect at all but I couldn't be more proud of them💜
I just loved the fact that your father took efforts to tute you and study with you. It is very helpful when children are young and that allows children to have a good reading /studying discipline.
27 never looked so good 😍
he is the same age as me, makes me question what I've been doing in my life. Certified Personal Trainer but working in Retail....want to study science but need the money which is why i'm in retail. Need to change this :\
Remember we all have different starting points. Don't beat yourself up and use him as inspiration. Good luck with your science study! I want to go on an anatomy course but can't afford it right now. So I'm learning a lot from secondhand books and yt videos so that when I do the course I'm likely to be more successful :)
It is a great opportunity to use your time wisely & study what you may learn in the course. That way you're ahead. I used that same tactic with my Health & Fitness course & people saw I knew what I was talking about. Good luck with your future successes, friend :)
PRINCE_LC best of luck to you too :)
Well, he did say his entire family are doctors. We can look at someone like him and say he alone was responsible for his success but there's more to it: family influence and support plays a huge role, good nutrition for brain development etc. As he was saying, school shouldn't be your entire life and your job shouldn't be *your* entire life. Enjoy your life and give 100% in everything you do, even if you are working in retail. It's a great opportunity to learn about customers and a business which can be parlayed into your work as a personal trainer.

This is the best video I've seen on Medicine and Medical school so far! I just graduated Med school from India & I'm now preparing for the post-graduation exams to pursue Residency . My field of interest is Psychiatry. My brother is doing his Family Medicine residency in India & he loves it !! I love how passionate you are about this field & how pure your heart is :) I wish to meet you one day whenever I visit US. God bless you :) The Medical community is blessed to have someone like you. You're my inspiration :)
What does family medicine pertain to in India.. I am studying in 3rd proff.. Is it medicine or community medicine??
Me too..
I've dealing with depression for quite some time, I gotta say I'm losing scores on my mock tests and making me more depressed. I know I've other options as a career but I can never see my self in future other than a doctor I want to practice medicine. I'm from India and here NEET is the biggest competitive exam to get into and undergraduate medical course. What I basically want to say is you inspired me. I was dealing with so much anxiety that I lost interest in basically everything. but you made me remember what my dreams were. Thank you
going thru same things btw what r u doing now ? u got GMC huh .
How’re you doing now?
This was like listening to myself speak! I completely agree with everything you've said!
Awesome, glad to hear we are on the same page! I wish I had someone tell me this stuff while I was a student.
Doctor Mike I am having a problem with which pre med degree to go for, I know I want to do medicine but that pre med degree is a problem. I am a freshmen in college.
Yes!!! I’m years older Dr. Mike and I really wish I had someone tell me all of this. Maybe then I would’ve went into medicine.
I am 16 years old.I am not very good in science but i love human body.I love biology chimistry math but i am not good in physics.What you recomanded me?❤
I received my MCAT grades a while ago, and now I'm applying to med schools and your video made me less nervous. Thanks for sharing your story
How old are you dear
@Robin FABREGOUL hey, it went well I just started med school two weeks ago 😊
Around 18:30 when you say "I fell in love" your eyes seem to almost mist over as true passion does to a person.
You have very lucky patients Doc.
I went into it for the right reasons( I love medicine, love science, want to help people, ect), I just didn't realize how stressful it would be or how bad I was at chemistry. I've struggled with a host of mental health issues all my life and they probably will continue for the rest of my life(I've been on meds and in therapy since the age of 9, I am now 21, I'm thinking is going to be lifelong). Medical school would kill me. After that I was considering either nursing or speech therapy, eventually I decided on speech therapy. I hope to graduate with my bachelor's in the spring of 2023 and then head to grad school.
Could you do a video about financial aid, grants, or other financial help available for medical students? Also were you daunted by prospective loan costs when you started? Haha, that seems more scary than books and rotations.
I'm in pre-med currently, but I've talked to advisors on loans and paying for life through med school. Med school it's self doesn't cost 300k+, it's the extra money you pull included that makes it that high. They know a med student can NOT work, so they include everything: rent, electric, water, food, clothing, car, insurance.. ect., in your tuition. The advice from my advisor to pay it back is to live off of my residency income for the first two years out of residency and that will leave me loan free. Therefore, I'll be making around 230k a year out of residency, but I'll live off of 75k (a little more then residency) and that leaves the rest of my income to pay off the loans.
Yes this! Please! I have a biochem degree and would love to go into medicine but I’m so scared of being 100,000’s in debt lol 😂
@@shannasalvatore2631 you get it, very good. Thank you
Yes, I agree. Please make a video about finances for a medical student, if you can. Thank you, Dr. Mike.
Yes please do make a video about this!

I don't even want to be a doctor yet your perpective on life and genuine personality inspires me to learn more about your journey! I'm in the process of pursuing my CPA and your thoughts on worrying about every test that comes my way is not the way to live my life. While I am currently taking 6 classes and managing an internship at a local accounting firm, I almost have exams every two weeks and it can very stressful at times. However, by focusing on the obstacles that I am facing at the moment and taking them as they come gives me an alternate perspective on this way of life. As two very educated individuals, it's intriguing to learn about the journey of an individual who went down a completely different path then me. While certain aspects of medince interest me such as orthopedics, I respect the dedication and perseverance that you exhibited throught your medical journey. What I would like to know about you is why family medicine as opposed to oncology or varying form of medicine?
*this is wholesome*
You're not just sharing your story, but giving some tips for us in term of how to make a right choice for our future career and how to prepare for the interview. It help me a lot, thank you so much!
Love your story!!! Would you mind introducing more your memory improving technique？
You should probably get a tighter shirt
You should probably get a new joke
DAMNNNNNNN
It would be too distracting
If he did, no one would pay attention to what he’s saying, only his thick abs
The Bosun Pipe hahahhahaha
i can watch his arms move for hours damn

I know this is an older video, but I love these types of videos where you can just put headphone in and listen to the person talk about whatever while your doing something. Which is weird because I don’t really like podcast but I love going on RUclips and listening to RUclipsrs stories especially yours!
I am an Engineer. But I always enjoy learning about other people's professional journey. Great video.
Nadine I am in engineering too! But I love seeing people talking about their passion.
I'm a mechanical engineering student and I don't know of this is what I want to do in my life..
thats ok, people are bombarded with this idea that everyone must know what they want to do for the rest of their life or that they can just follow what they're passionate about (which, in a lot of cases, don't work out). I can't remember clearly but i saw somewhere that people in this generation change career choices around 5 times?? so yeh don't worry too much
Emily yes.. I know.. thank you!
np :D
Becoming a doctor will always be my number one goal. It is always on my mind 24/7. It is the reason I’m studying really hard. I’m still in my sophomore year of highschool but I have no other courses or future careers that I’m passionate about besides being a doctor. But I’m extremely worried because no one in our family has practiced medicine so I’m going to be alone fighting this battle. Its scary to think of it really. How can I prepare myself and cope with all the stress of med school without my family or friends feeling the same way?
Frances Therese i am in your exact situation. i’m a high school sophomore with no family members in medicine, yet i want nothing more than to be a doctor. this video really scared me, but nothing will end my interest in science and the human body.
Wow, my situation also. All I know is I have to be in medicine, if I decide not to be a doctor, I’ll be a pharmacist, if not that, a clinical researcher. Although this video helped me know what to look forward to if I decide being a doctor is right for me.
This is me...im entering highschool tomorrow wish me luck....my goal is to be a doctor since i was a kid...
Frances Therese me too! Ima freshman but already so stressed abt my future of being an orthopedic surgeon. And it doesn’t help that I’m a control freak😂.
Frances Therese sm here
Your voice is very calming.. Thank you for the videos too.
I’m 15 years old and I’m truly interested in medicine. My goal is to make people feel better, probably save their lives. In any case, thank you for this amazing video!
I just found this video when I was stressing about my finals in my second year of medical school and I can't tell you how much you've helped me come down and be assured that I got this. I just need to tackle the obstacle right in front of me. Also I was unsure about my approach of studying with questions but your explanation made me sure it was the best approach for me. I'm a student in Kenya. Wish me all the best guys☺️
goodluck sir/maam....don't stop reaching the peak
How did it go?
@@matildesimoes5518 It went really well☺️ Thank you for asking. I am currently in my third year and we just resumed going to school physically today. I hope I remember how to study effectively and efficiently.
*I DON'T KNOW WHAT I WANT TO BE*
ThisIsNajma smh I see u everywhere
Jin is My mom lmaoooo
get in real estate. u have to really love medicine to sacrifice so much of ur life into it. Plus if u apply yourself in real estate as much as med students do and for as long as they do to become doctors, I PROMISE u u will have way more money than u need. Plus u dont need to go into debt to do real estate :)
Invest your savings on the lottery
*SAME*
As a high school student right now, this video really helped me realize how crucial hard work, setting goals and preparing for your future is right now . This video is really helpful, thank you Doctor Mike!
Even me as a nerdy astrophysics student find this story very inspiring
I really needed a video like this, because I'm still in highschool and I want to apply to med school. I feel stressed most of the time just thinking about how much I have to learn and the competition that is at that university. Your video made me a little bit less stressed so thank you:) Keep going because you're doing such a great job!
I started watching this video at 1.25 speed and honestly, I DID NOT EXPECT THAT THIS TRICK WOULD HELP ME. Thanks for the advice Dr. Mike!
This video was informative on so many levels. I'm not a med student but I'm a undergrad and it motivated me to a whole new level! It was great to know journey!
Thanks for that Tanya! I am glad that you are getting something useful from the channel!
Hello, Doctor Mike thnks so much for this video . It helped a lot to c my future as pre Med students . I would like to ask u if there’s a specific age u have to be for Med school . I’m a mother of 3 boys and I’m 33 already . I hopefully star school just next year .
I wish doctors were as passionate about their jobs as you seem to be. I’ve watched my parents deal with the worst and most jaded medical professionals over the years. As of late, my father is going through heart failure and just seeing how some of the younger doctors seem more knowledgeable but also just more compassionate about his condition. Others (mostly older doctors) look at my dad like just another number, basically an expiration date. I’m really hoping the newer generation of doctors and medical professionals are going to take their job’s more seriously. I feel like it’s a career that desperately needs compassionate, extraordinary individuals.
