That's why all doctors sound the same! They took a class on it!
do they have a "write like a doctor" class too?
@@alisha7915 it's just pages of scribbles lol
It's actually pretty cool! The idea isn't to "sound like doctors", rather it's to provide insight to our communication skills. We have actors who come in and present themselves as our patients whom we interact with and receive feedback from fellow physicians. The goal is to help us practice our history taking skills, read abstract social cues, understand where miscommunication on behalf of either party can be remedied, etc. It's valuable in the sense that the interactions are low-stakes and we get to learn through trial and error.
One of my memorable experiences was practicing how to give bad news to a patient. It aimed to instill empathy into a situation where someone may be hearing the worst news of their life. It may not be the real thing, but it's great practice and helps you improve on your interactions with real patients on the wards.
@@alisha7915 you joke but my handwriting is waaay worse since I started med school, I just want to write everything as quick as possible so idgaf how it looks lol

I like how the asian guy talks
So soft spoken he really fits to be a Dr...
And specially the vibe it feels like you’ll feel better if he’s your doctor..
he looks like elon musk
I feel like I would totally trust him as my doctor and then he said he googles a lot of things😂
;) feel real better
@@xraios9292 im not the only one apparently...
FACTS
Asian guy: My dad was a scientist and my mom was an engineer
Such an asian-american thing to say
brain drain for ya
No usually those Asian American people be like my parents came from Asia and they didn’t get a chance to go to school so I went to school and tried my best or something like that
Hi You yeah. Maybe for the kids whose parents just migrated. But for the next generation asian american, it’s a different story
Nostalgic _99 how is that jealous it’s so many Asians at my school and literally all of them I’ve met has that same story about their parents struggling trust me I’m not jealous both of my parents are scientists
Lol I’m Asian and my mom is a doctor and my dad is a scientist
"What was your least favorite pa-"
"STEP 1"
So true 😂
Yeah step 1 sucked
Lol I hated step 3 more
Megan Brown I haven’t taken Step 2 or Step 3 yet
can someone explain what these "steps" are?
“unless anxiety counts” ME
Skyicee 🤦♂️
Skyicee u...self diagnosed urself with anxiety...?
Clown
We all can get anxious from time to time, but having anxiety is a mental illness, that only a therapist or psychiatrist can diagnose. This is why we study for so long.
Tentacles45 i actually go to therapy for anxiety sooooo ....
This should be a general grad school series: law students, physics grad students, engineering, etc
John Kangarlu yes omg
For real, I'd like a video of people studying to become a therapist
Yes!!
Yes please!!!
And vet school too! There’s not nearly as enough content on YT for them! (:
I love how they actually enjoy the study, not just cause they have to.
If we have unmotivated doctors that is bad for the world
It's actually pretty hard to have unmotivated doctors unless they're super smart bc medical school is long and lengthy it kind of forces you to like it and only people who are passionate usually last that long to become a doctor
Orange Hiccup nah I’ve had some really bad doctors in my life. They literally ruined my life. I’ve been dismissed from their office, concerns ignored. “I’m the doctor, I’m right” said to me. Turns out she was wrong.
@@MissGenie0607 Sorry that happened, but I'm just saying most of the time doctors are passionate about what they do because becoming a doctor is such a lengthy and persistent process usually only the super smart or passionate survive.
We have really bad doctors in my country because people go to medical school because they couldnt have find a job from the class they wanted. Theres like 5 job fields you can go to that actually provides you a job with good money and medicine is one of them. So those people dont actually want to go to med school they kind of had to.
Alice Oh lmaooooo this is the truth. Only none chronic illness patients like doctor
if they ask me why I went into medical school me: *sighs* grey anatomy
I totally blame Derek Shephard

Fr 😂😂😂
omfg yes 😂
when you make a witty comment and you decide to apply to med school for fun but your gpa was under 3.5 so you didn’t get accepted
The three months coffee/two week break is genius!
I don't think I could do it, though
inspiritedchristian whatever you do please take my advice and plan accordingly to your exams schedule! There’s nothing worst than being due for a break in the middle of finals 😅
Could you explain how that would work?
bayan abunijem You body gets used to cafeine so it becomes a lot less effective after a few months of use. In a 2 week long break your body gets used to not needing cafeïne, you kind of get a cafeine reset
Yessss
dude David's voice is so calming lol
he'd make a great doctor
Who is David?
@@nafisalol the korean guy
Sir Uppercrust III well your spelling makes you sound like a 10 year old boy, acting as if he’s a doctor
@ How is it racist?
@ this adds to my point, how was anything i said sexist and racist? All i was trying to say is that you have bad spelling to be a so called “doctor,” check your facts before you talk!
In Med school right now: Taking a quick study break yet still having to watch this in 2x because I don’t have time😅
ptcapc what year are you in?
@@syedfawaz1650 first :)
keep up the good work son
Good luck.
Same😅
I love this series makes me consider if I wanna actually waste my life in medical school
Jaliya Deandrade sameeee
Do you have any shadowing/clinical experience yet? I felt the same way but then I shadowed a few physicians in the neurology department at my local hospital this summer and it really made me realize that I 100% want to be a physician one day.
ImDeluxx how did you get that opportunity... I want to be a neurosurgeon too
Stella William You just gotta cold call and/or email physicians/PAs/NPs/RNs near you, and hopefully some will reply. I actually got to be in the OR and saw 2 back surgeries and a brain surgery! Neurosurgery is really cool but that 7 year residency is ehhhhh
Stella William Oh also ask your family members if they know anybody that works in a hospital
“ if you got into medical school, you can do it” wowowow that’s so motivating 😭😭😭 I’m in nursing school and sometimes I feel like I’m not smart enough but then I realize if I got accepted into the program it’s because I can do it lmaooo
Michelle Gonzalez keep going girl! you got this:))
im still scared i wont get into med school. im just about to turn 18 and have one year of secondary school left and i desperately want to study medicine
You got this! If a bunch of strangers can clearly see you have what it takes just by looking at your application then you know you have what it takes! Your abilities are so strong that it’s obvious even to those who didn’t know you
I want to go to nursing school too, I thought I wanted to be a doctor, but I’ve decided against it.
Do you enjoy your study in it?
I am a nursing student too and since the first time i am sure i can do it because i am smart enough(too confidence? Whatever) but the problem isnt about i can do or not but it rather like i love what i do or not. Until now, i dont enjoy what nurse does:(
"Have You Ever Successfully Diagnosed Yourself With Something?"
"No, But I Have Successfully Misdiagnosed Myself With A Bunch Of Things."
I've done that many times lol! 😂😂😂
Medical students are notorious for mis-diagnosing themselves with some of the disease they are studying.
Kinda sleazy
Colleen Glanville isn’t that a part of being a medical student? 😂
Me: It’s probably allergies
Doctor: You are suffering depression
*Successfully miss-diagnosed myself*
i- why did- why did you type like that😔
Don't let med school scare you. It's tough, but it's worth it if you're really passionate about it :-)
not always...I'm 5 years in now and I still am passionate about medicine and helping people but the amount of studying you have to do (I'm in Heidelberg I don't know about american unis) is overwhelming and for me it kills all the fun I used to have with medicine...even though it still is my dream job I think I would live an overall happier life if I had decided against studying it...other than that I also started having a lot of negative experiences with patients who seem to always know what they have and just want MDs to give them medication and get angry if we say that their own diagnosis is wrong...or they won't vaccinate their children or just overall think we just want their money and so on...When I decided to become a doctor I had everyones happiness in mind - now it feels like I am killing my own life to make others happy who won't even appreciate my work. When choosing med school it is very very important to note: is it the thing that makes you 100% happy? and do the circumstances maybe drown like 10% of your happiness? maybe it would be better to go with plan B which makes you 98% happy and where doing it only kills 3% of your happiness...
Rahmspinatkeks 😭😭😭😭💔💔
@@khansasajjad3332 do you have a similar situation?
Rahmspinatkeks not yet. But i think abt this allllll the time and have exactly the same fears which you're already experiencing in real life. I feel like this career is more exhausting than exciting (as i used to think it is). I don't know what to expect out of all these years of struggle, seeing someone (you) getting not really what you expected at the end of your journey..
@@khansasajjad3332 if you are not sure if you wanna study medicine think about if you have a plan B...think about what it would mean to you not to be a doctor and think about how happy you would be with the job itself in the end (imagine the patients as robots you are fixing so you don't make your happiness dependend on what your patients do and say)...if your heart is in it go for med school if not it's simply not worth the struggle...especially when you hear "uni is the best time of your life" all around you...if this is the best time of my life i don't really want any of it anymore 😒
My family asks me for medical advice. I’m a sophomore in high school. Just because I want to be a doctor, it doesn’t mean that I am one.
Ania Dances bruh
LMAO RELATABLE AF
This is the most relatable thing I’ve read EVER
Omg sameeee🤣🤣🤣
I took an Emergency Medical Responder class when I was in high school and we learned how to treat emergencies. Suddenly, I’m everyone’s future doctor 😂
Same here 🙋🏼♀️
My cousin's a doctor, and he told me that during one of their dissections, there were lots of ppl present unlike their usual classes. Turns out, the person they were dissecting was a renowned doctor who said after his death, he wanted his body to be used to benefit the future of medicine.
In medical school you diagnose yourself with everything you hear in the lecture room😂😂
I swear that's 100% true 😂😂 I felt like I had hyperthyroidism in first lecture and than thought I had hypothyroidism too in the next lecture 🤣🤣
@@claryfray4434 Is that the Crash Landing on You actors? I recognized them before even opening your profile.
😅😅😅
@Dr Amine RELAX
So so so true😂😂😂😂
My dream is to become an MD, so like this gets me so excited to get to medical school and at the same time makes me conscious of the reality of what it's like to be there.
It’s not as terrible as most people think. You get way more free time than you expect and it’s super rewarding since you’re learning stuff you are actually interested in.
I am a MD and believe me it sucks u feel like ur wasting ur life while ur friend are having fun and travelling the world
@@romanzolanski2555 WHATTT?! WHYYY. OMG
olivia jenson I’m so scared of that too 😭
Currently a medical student. If you have any questions about the process I'd be happy to answer them. Cheers
They never asked them if they have doctor's handwriting:(
ansari farhan the new age of doctors have to type fast instead of write fast
@@patrickmorency lmao
I think they do
Before med school my handwriting was nice and very legible
But now two years into med school, I can hardly read my notes. So I think it comes along as you experience med school. But others are still able to maintain their handwriting so I guess it just depends on you
@@theresaf3688 ahahhahahhahhaahhahhahaha
I read that as middle school students and was like those are definitely not middle school students but u should do middle school students 😂
Hehe me too
Wait I did too-
Me too
The TempTraveler omg i thought it was bc i was high, guess im not alone
Thought I was the only one
those thinking of going to med sch
this is your chance
it is not too late
An auto mechanic in his 40's just did to prove it can be done.
And to have debt, just so much debt.
Dpt program
R N tell us how it goes
@R N good luck
R N Let us know how it goes!
My boyfriend started MS1 yesterday and came home with a stack of papers 7 inches deep. His coursework for the next 4 weeks. FOUR WEEKS. 1000 pages of dense science to do outside of class. We spent $20 on binders just to contain all of the pages by unit. It's going to be a wild four years.
Well, that's cute..
You're awesome for being there for him :)
It's not hard. Just memorization. First 2 years is all memorization next 2 is clinicals. It's in the last 2 years that he will actually learn lol.
@@midnull6009 nah, more like the last two years to get a taste of what different specialties are, and the real learning starts in residency
Whos watching this because they don't know if they want to go to med school
Ashre Moses watching this as someone who wants to go to med school but scared of all the stress
@@mikacastillo6396 dont worry, its not stressful if ur interested
Mika Castillo me too but I’m still a little young so idk if I have to start worrying about it rn
Subscribe to my channel.
I feel the same
I’m a medical student and i agree its so difficult to stay motivated especially during the normal days without exams or tests... i mean its just all about self motivation or you’re doomed.
hi, im worried about choosing the wrong profession as im quite shy and an introvert and i feel like thats not good as a doctor. Any advice
user234 sameee
@@user-tb6tv Med student here. You don't need to be an extrovert to be a good professional, but you should work on your comunication skills to get the most infprmation from ypur patient and to make sure they understand you. Also, there are some medical specialties that don't even work face to face with patients (ex: radiology, pathology).
@@user-tb6tv Look up “Decision Theory”. Might help 🤷♀️
Tell me you're asian without telling me you're asian
"My dad's a scientist My mom's a engineer I am going to be a doctor"
They should do one with writers or psychology students.

Medical school is now an excuse to get Starbucks.
Edit: thanks for all of the likes :)
You're so right
Wow.lucky
Wdym life is an excuse for starbucks... jk XD
LOL HOW COME YOUR PFP IS THE SAME AS MY CRUSH'S FB PFP? 😂😮
If you go into medschool you will be broke to go to Starbucks
I actually appreciated their candor and humility. Having gone through the process, I'm glad they're able to speak to their insecurities. A long road ahead but worth it :)
"I missed the vein and I was like, omg🥺" 😂😂I died so hard at like 1am
Being in a medical college and watching this video within 1 hour of posting shows the amount of stress 😅😅😅😅
😂😂
This made me feel sooooo much better. I started a phlebotomy class today and felt myself getting all nervous/faint but the fact the girl almost thought she was gonna fail med school because she’s scared of needles truly gives me hope. I have a lot of schooling to do but still. Thank you.
David looks like a korean actor he looks so cute haha
omg at last someone said it! HE SOOO CUTE I COULD STARE AT HIS EYES FOR HOURS SBSAHBDJHAS he'll be creeped out tho hhhh
I was feeling bad looking through the comments for thirsty ones to support, and there wasn’t any. Thank you for your service.
@@sarahedmonds7874 looll
lot of korean people look like that though. if you know koreans irl, they are much more than just looks.
”Not unless anxiety counts” that hit too close to home 😂

Considering I’m planning to go to medical school this video really helped me out w/ what I need to expect and how to possibly prepare
I have so much respect for y’all who devote your lives to this field as long as they stay humble and grounded. I honestly wish I had the passion / resilience to get through with med school!
"they already know you can do it"
That's so supportive, I love it💛
how about a nursing school one too (^:
Cassie J my mother's a nurse
@@pirateez5021 that's nice
Yesssss pleasee
Don’t nurses have to do a lot of dirty work though? Cleaning patients private’s and stuff
@@JfaJosephR9 💯😂
As a medical student, I do feel demotivated a lot! This video helped me cheer up a little, thank you!
i keep coming back to this bc david seems so kind/gentle lol i'd love him as my doc
The thing that I like the most about doctors is how they are so patient. It's so charming.
can you make law school students do more like these?
A year ago, lawyers answering questions and telling horror stories.
Trust me we're boring af
@@LO-gg6pp lol
I wanted to become a lawyer
But my mom said I cant
My dad said I cant
And in my country women lawyer are less almost 33 percent
Then you wont become 1
I needed this video SOOOOOO MUCH. Thank u so much for this video!!
Look at all these lovely people making their parents proud. 🥰
"nobody really asked me for medical advice-" I felt that
I’m a nursing student and can I say I related to this so much. It made me proud to be in the healthcare field :’)
This makes me feel so much better. Thank you Buzzfeed!
It’s all worth it at the end !! Being a doctor is so rewarding 😊
you should do nursing students next!! A lot of the same pressures but as an undergrad
*5:35* What keeps you motivated when school gets really hard?
Stephanie: “I talk to my mom everyday. *I’m super close to my mom.* “
David: 😳 looks at camera and off to the side *can’t relate*
😭😭😂
My parents always gave me depression so I never talk to them I just keep in my heart
whenever i get demotivated from med school, i look at myself. 1 autoimmune disease + long bone fractures + major spinal surgery in the past and they felt like a breeze. if i can handle that, med school aint nothing.
That last bit... It's so real, so many people I talk to in med school feel like they have been wrongly chosen. The last line was so motivating haha, thank you!
finding motivation is the hardest thing to do.
as a med school i knew that for sure.
but when i have face-to-face time with patient , i find myself happy and really want to help them to be healthy.
I’m in medschool and their experience and lifestyle is so relatable to nearly all med students 😂
Please do the same with culinary school students!!!
i loved this video!! as a senior in hs theres sm talk abt ur future and honestly it can be pretty exhausting or demotivating at times :/ but this video made it seem much more possible and it reminded me of why i rlly want to go into medicine 😊
1:18 they just cut her off like that 😭😭😭
Jesus I needed this. Thank you. More med school videos?
👍 😃 🌿 ♥️ 🐳 💫
The only time I finished med school is in a game called bitlife😂
😂😂😂
I’ve been WAITING for this!!!
I hope they are good and blessed right now!
I’m in love with the Asian guy
Amber Black same
Aren't we all
I m in love with u
Do a law school students one! Loved this one
make this a general series!!! (physics, engineering, law, students etc)
I just got accepted and will start classes next year! This was helpful, thank you :)
That "they already know that you can do it" line was crazy inspiring, and I'm still in high school😂
anyone else want to go to law school but doesn’t know if they have the commitment
No! study hard become docta
YourAverageIdiot you sound like my mum
I do but not sure too
I'm not sure if I get you. You mean you don't want to commit to studying every day?
No offense but going into medicine is much more lucrative and rewarding than law. You also have way more job security as a doctor than a lawyer. There's currently an over-saturation of lawyers on the market whereas there's nearly a shortage of doctors in America -- particularly in primary care.
I love this series!💛
I salute medical students like they are so intelligent and hardworking
And they save lifes.
2:39 They can ask you anything so you study everything lmao
this was a year ago 😭 imagine one of them are already residents
my mom went into med school thinking she wanted to go into a certain field and halfway through she changed her mind and now she's a neurointensivist and she is the smartest person i've ever met. when she talks about medical school it sounded like hell so major props to everyone who works really hard to pursue their careers 😊
Im so grateful for this video because im also really scared of needles and fainted sometimes when my doctors took my blood but i am really interessted in science and medicine. When the girl said that she is also really scared of needles and said that its gonna be okay, i was really relieved.
the editing for this was all over the place
God Bless All First Responders, Physicians, Nursing Staff, EMS, Emergency room staff, Paramedics, Medicvac, Public Safety, Fire fighters etc. Thanks for Be Selfless and Caring for the Sick especially during this very difficult time period.

They seem like the nicest people
My dad was my practice patient a few days before my Step2CS exam. This exam is a clinical skills assessment where you see a number of standardized patients over a day and are graded on it. Anyway, I listened to his heart and heard an irregular, abnormally rapid heartbeat. I ended up telling him to go to the cardiologist because I was pretty sure he had something called Atrial Fibrillation and needed to get treatment. I ended up being correct, and he thankfully is getting treatment for it.
Being in medical school is amazing but definitely hits home if you end up finding something wrong in a friend or family member.
Why is STEP 1 the most horrific exam of our medical school careers ... it was the worst part of my life - without a doubt 😭 so glad it’s over
and now its pass fail
As a student getting ready to enter med school, I found this very uplifting. I can feel their love for medicine and it matches mine ❤
How is it
are you alive ?
I needed this.
Really, how does Buzzfeed choose people to bring on their videos? You can't help but like all four of them, because they are so honest and willing to express themselves.
I would seriously love it if they could come back again for another video as Residents, and finally as settled doctors!
So uh... i have no intention of studying medicine at all, like it's the last thing I want to do but I'll watch the video lmao
Valeria S me, i want to be a math teacher lol
What about you?
Wow I want David to be my doctor and best friend. I just wanna talk with him. 🤣 so pleasant my goodness. Lovely voice.
Really interesting to see the difference and similarities on studying medicine across the waters since I'm from the UK!
You guys seem like great people! Wishing you all the best in your endeavors to becoming a Doctor! Ill be there in a couple years.
I’m a medical Librarian and I got so excited to hear that they use Up To Date to diagnose themselves. Use your available resources in med school, guys! 👏🏻
What is a medical Librarian?
This helped a lot, I’m going to med school and this motivated me more thanks ♥️
Good luck! Do your best and don't lost motivation, remember it'll be worth it at the end! :)
Think this right...cause it's really difficult. I'm on my fourth year. And omg...I don't know how I get there.
You can do all things through Christ who give you strength
What did you major in undergrad?
Thanks so much guys! And in Biology 😊
thankyou!! this gave me a bit of motivation :’)
i go to a vo-tech high school and at first i wasn’t all that interested in medicine but after being introduced to my medical assisting class i really like it. i’ve been learning a lot and hopefully go into med school and become a cardiologist
I’m in medical school and I feel like I’m listening to senior classmates/big siblings :’)
Hahaha the doctoring class comment! Literally had my first standardized patient encounter today to learn how to talk like a doctor and it’s so awkward because you want to have normal conversation but you can’t say normal phrases like “please pull down your pants” you have to say “please lower your pants.”
This video was so helpful, Thanks BuzzFeed!
Same bro... Each and everything!!! But pressure every where the same.
You know, there’s always a light at the end of a tunnel.
And sometimes I wish it was a train.
I think every medical school student goes through depression during Step 1 studying.
Well it's pass/fail now, so hopefully people can relax a bit.
It’s insane what they have to do to become a doctor, it’s an insanely huge life time sacrifice. I thought I could do it but it’s too much of a sacrifice. I have enormous respect for them
Lily girl is really relatable to me damn i thought im the only one starting to see cases as puzzles instead of people
"Successfully misdiagnosed myself a bunch of times" 😂🤣😂🤣
