I love you SANTIAGO
How will you inspire anybody anymore if you throw away your opportunity of a life time. So many students wish they were as studious and intelligent as you. “Hey guys here’s how to become a Dr…you can do it…,”. How inspiring from a dropout….don’t leave you will regret it for the rest of your life.
The healthcare system really needs to be restructured. Doctors are burning out. I don’t blame any of them for quitting.
I have recently came to conclusion that we have became XIXth century-like workers but still meet demands like ancient not-married priest-like maitre de medicine. Labour law also does not go with time in healthcare, other jobs do fight for their rights while we are still working 24hour shifts like some kind of freaks. Healthcare systems are falling worldwide and they will collapse sooner or later, it can't work like this.
A life without struggle would be completely boring, chosing the right struggle will make it fantastic
When picking a career practicality should be the main consideration. I weighed my passions (philosphy, psychology) against my practical considerations (safety, job realiability) and decided becoming a doctor with a guaranteed job where I can help people and benefit society (two more weighing factors) a much better option. Following your passion is overrated and oversold to people. If you are approaching your 20s and you still don't know what you want to do, it is much better to pick a career option with a guaranteed job and stick to it.
As a 3rd year med student who discovered that medicine was not my "passion" after their 1st year, I second this.
I suppose my issue is that medicine isn’t even practical in my country (uk), you get paid like shit for long hours. It’s almost like a vocation at this point. The only people who should go into medicine in the uk are people who have rich parents to support them.
How does one have security? By being an expert. You’re more likely to succeed if you’re an expert at something, and you’re more likely to be an expert at something that you’re passionate about. If you’re saying that it’s oversold to follow passion, it’s probably because most people want to be comfortable and don’t want to spend most of their day working, or maybe not working much at all, meaning they won’t become an expert in a relatively short amount of time. And in that case, you’re fucked no matter which route you take, especially in this economy

Right now, the think that is annoying me about this is the toxic enviroment, nurses and other doctors are so rude, that it's making me hate clinical medicine, to go to a hospital in general
Thats so true
Almost every day i struggle with the idea of leaving medicine. I even went to psychologist bc I don't feel it's worth the effort, and it's not making me happy.
Where r u from
Same
Literally if ur not in America not worth it. Even in Canada it’s becoming less desirable
Same just graduated and never regretted something so much in my life like this decision
This was super insightful. keep it up!
Peace be upon you, Dr. Santiago
Your videos are great and tremendously beneficial ✨✨Thank you for this beautiful talk.
The ultimate rest and satisfaction is just in heaven ✨✨
Apenas vi la cara de Ali Abdaal pensé que me había confundido de canal 😂
Medicine was not a love of first sight for me, but it ended up being part of my identity and I wouldn't trade it for anything 😌 Thank you Santiago for all the valuable things you share on your channel!
Dude you are a gem for those of us who want to achieve highly but are struggling to balance passion and work. Thank you for what you do!
I recently took the similar path and funny my thoughts coincide with yours in many ways.
Hola, tengo la duda si puedo obtener mi ECFMG aún y cuando todavía no quiera presentar los steps porque no aún no estoy lista?.. gracias!
Awesome video
Actually I struggled to get into med school and now I struggle in med school I can't just quit and leave everything behind so why I was trying so hard and still trying?
There's that low-sound rings when u were reading..are they deliberate?
If so, why?
Also considering the same... Fed up with this thankless job.
Dear Santiago. I have watched all of your videos. They are all excellent and inspring. I can see an "X" factor in your videos and the way you think. Best wishes for everything on you way!! With love and light !! 😀🙂
esto es sabiduría gracias!
How do u stay in USA without visa ?
How will you inspire anybody anymore if you throw away your opportunity of a life time. So many students wish they were as studious and intelligent as you. “Hey guys here’s how to become a Dr…you can do it…,”. How inspiring from a dropout….don’t leave you will regret it for the rest of your life.
Santiago are you staying in medicine? Please don’t leave!
amazing
While I was watching this video I came across another video of another doctor/TH-camr (The MD journey) uploaded 4 hours ago that he is too leaving medicine.
What the hell is going on?
Edit: okay never mind... he is going for fellowship. Not everyone has lost their minds
This is a different point of view. I never noticed that I do better with expectations. That lights in my head. Thanks Santiago 😊
Aaaaah, I just know we’d make excellent friends.
Verily, We have created man in toil.

Thanks, nice video.
Pizza and vegetables 🤣👍🏽
It's not worth it cause the cons outweigh the pros. If you wanna help people in healthcare,e be a CNA. They help the most. But, most people won't do that cause the pay isn't there. The reality is, doctors make the most and have the most prestige, which attracts people. They're not being truthful as to why they're really leaving...and it's a lot to it.
Doctors earn poorly for the experience, background work and obstacles they encounter. Not to mention the long hours which no other healthcare staff do. A typical doctor is working twice the hours of a nurse to get similar hourly rate. The prestige is once upon a time myth. Doctors are abused by nurses, midwives, patients and their families, their own senior colleagues on a daily basis. In certain countries such as UK , senior nurses earn more than senior middle grade doctor by hourly rate. Yet this myth of doctors earning more still persists.

why. easy 7 fig income
Not easy to get there & Only in America if ur specialized you can possibly achieve 7 figs (meaning 10+ years unpaid, ur not even guaranteed residency match; so u actually have to enjoy it to get through or go through 10 years of hell lol). In Canada 50% of ur money is gone. Business is way more fun, high stress, closing deals gives you a high, having shit to do all the time never has you bored. Most people are looking for comfort tho, which is ok if that’s what u want.
What I'm going to tell is totally out of science..but i feel i must say this...in ur video u talk of suffering be it whichever field u r in...that is what lord Buddha told that life is filled of suffering and the path to end suffering is to attain Nirvana ie meditate....ik for an aspiring doctor to talk this it feels awkward!
I'm a buddhist and a medical student, I totally agree with this. Cause no matter what life itself has sufferings, like getting sick , meeting people we don't like, lose people we love, death ... etc u name it, and none can escape this, hence the true liberation is when you are free from this samsara (cycle of rebirth).
