How is it inserted?

Thanks!

I like that i found ur channel and that i get to be one of the first subscribers ur content is informative and helpful and gives me a different perspective that I appreciate and learn from

Could you share any thoughts/tips on navigating med school as an older non-trad?

I’ve been looking stupid and “embarrassing” myself by asking questions in class ever since I started med school 😂this month but I got an A on the 1st quiz so I’m gonna keep it up. I have my 1st exam on Friday, wish me luck 📝

I'm taking inspo from this man huge productivity boost 😅

I'm currently in nursing school and I absolutely hate asking questions in class 😅😅😅 it feels like everyone is so advance 😭 the other day I asked "if corticosteroids increased your risk of osteoporosis?" idk where I got that from bruh Istg the other students looked at me 😦😦

I’m a premed and I’m going into my sophomore year and this is really helpful - gonna apply this approach for this semester

Very valid point, going to make an active effort to ask more questions in lecture going forward!

Would love to see more videos on skills like suturing!

Can't emphasize this enough. You pay with your time every day you show up so might as well get the most out of it.

Do you think that surgeons or medical students have hard time if they want to be surgeons because so much knowledge that they are learning in theyre residency is going to be replaced by new methods or by ai and robotic systems so they always need to catch up. 2 question do you think tha surgeons are going to get replaced fully by robots in 20 years ?

Hello Dr.Andrews love your context on TH-cam and TikTok! As many of your followers are likely medical students can you please make more content pertaining to medical school even if it’s just like your 1.5 min video on this surgical knot. I think your video on standardized exams was extremely insightful. Would it be possible for you to make one specifically catered towards step 1 and 2 prep throughout ms2 and ms3 as well as during dedicated and how u would best set your self up for success during dedicated. Also a video on finding a valuable mentor in medicine would be awesome! Given your busy schedule this might be very difficult but just throwing out topics that hundreds of medical students like me would love your insight on!

That is so satisfying to watch

Very much useful.

is this taught in medical school?

I relate to that feeling of completion and satisfaction that comes from taking a project from 0-1. My journey has been more towards the software & bioinformatics path and this has been encouraging to hear in regards to hardware efforts

I really enjoyed how you treat research itself as an asset, as a pre-med student as dumb as it sounds I continuously ask myself, "Why is research so important?". To hear your story and how you came along this journey really changes my mindset regarding research. Makes me want to tap into this field as a first-generation and explore.

You are greatly an inspiration. As a student pursuing biomedical engineering and aspire to go into medicine your opinions fascinates me a lot

Favourite new channel😊 As someone who is discovering the beauty of doing research while doing my Microbiology degree and considering it as a career path, this video and it's part one have been so enjoyable to watch.

would calcium imaging be a optogenetic technique?

I can't imagine building one of those MEA rigs from scratch... must have felt like the sky's the limit afterwards. Kudos to you

If you ever decide to tutor for the mcat, let me know. I enjoy your videos and hearing how your brain works! I am losing hope in my ability to get into med school because of the mcat.

The thing that I find very fascinating about neurosurgery is that the field provides a big diversity in terms of scientific researches especially the ones related to brain pathologies and also I like the need of dexterity and precision in the specialty. Thanks for the video!

Could you do a video on interviewing? Like for medical schools (me) or residency and fellowship?

Wanted to hear this seriously, the voice though

Your videos are so good ❤ Keep the amazing job and the authenticity, that’s what we need in the world

Does the medical school you go to have a massive impact on matching to a competitive specialty? Im an untraditional premed and I’m really interested in surgery but I’m not sure ill be able to get into a competitive program

Can you give some tips on finding research/funding? Current MD student who has a few pubs but looking to get some first author publications and I don't know how to go about doing that.

Hi John, I’m impressed such a brief video could be so insightful. Similar to you, I hate boredom. I will certainly be choosing a specialty that keeps me busy. I really enjoy your videos and look forward to watching more. A question I like to ask physicians is if they could go back in time, would they do it all again? All the studying, standardized tests, years of residency, do you feel it was worth it? Also, if you could go back and give your MS1 self any advice, what would it be? Thank you for your time.

Can you give of some of the more work life balance specialties vs a little more career centric vs very career centric doc? thanks in advance

Hey John, current MS3. Thanks so much for your pearls of wisdom. Im currently in the former camp where I like 3 surgical subspecialties but can't quite decide on one. This video was great food for thought!

Hi John, I love your content but would recommend upgrading your microphone, the audio is quite quiet. Keep on posting your quality insights!

Wow!

Thanks!

Love this video. And thank you for pointing out flashcards, somehow I could never make a use of them, it always felt like a memorization rather than an understanding method.

Thank you for this video. To be honest, I regret to say (and this brings me no happiness), that I have failed a lot of my courses simply because I did not have a set-schedule for studying. I always had really good memory as a kid, so flash cards were a few of the tools that I'd use. Memorizing a few things here and there helped, but when it came to problem solving; getting to the root of a problem and developing a solution for it; I struggled and ended with failure. I then realized that memorization comes with understanding the fundamentals of the subject; focus on the foundation (what, why, how, etc), not just the remembrance of certain ideas surfaced on concepts. Again, thank you, I will put this plan into action for my Fall semester coming up.

Gonna use this for my mcat which is in a month

seeing this 5 weeks before my UCAT. TH-cam got too much data on me.

God bless you as you move forward. My son is a student Doctor ( First year of rotations)

Awesome video. Would you be able to make a video that dives more in depth about how you study during each study session. Are you mainly doing practice questions or reading etc.

Why so swole? What are the health benefits? Ortho528?

just curious what you think about pre-made flash cards. i agree about making your own it, it is a waste of time. but with premade and for a larger test (im taking the mcat) i think they have benefit in certain subjects that you just need refreshers on especially if you are studying over the course of several months. obviously something like physics or chemistry that requires you to manipulate equations and things like that are less flashcard friendly but generally i think they have benefit when used in combination with the study tools you mentioned. let me know what you think

Though I'm a girl,don't like the view of any jacked boy or anyone in great shape 😂when i look at them,i get frustrated and uncomfortable

Could you make a video on how you study for some of your classes?

Neurosurgery has fascinated me ever since high school. I’m at med school rn and I have a profound love for the nervous system especially the brain and the various diseases. However I am still not 100% sure whether to pursue it or not however a big thank you for the advice, doctor 🙏

Thank you so much for your videos. Please post a video about how to decide between medical residencies vs surgical residencies for people who love both.

Thank u Dr for doing this ...its really nice of to share ur methods ..would be extremely grateful on how u exactly go about learning new content And what r ur top study tips For example what do u actually do in the 2 hour study session . I understand u have an extremely busy schedule but it would be tremendously helpful ..Thank u again ❤

Surreal journey

Until they’re an attending people have very poor understanding of the job they’re signing up for. Across medical and surgical fields. Training is brutal but you’re never the “last line of defense.”
