- So you want to be a general surgeon. You like the idea of being the generalist of the operating room, having the knowledge and skills for a wide range of surgical interventions. Or maybe it's just a stepping stone for you to get to the subspecialization you're after. Let's debunk the public perception myths, and give it to you straight. This is the reality of general surgery.

Highschool: Ill be a cardiothoracic surgeon!
College: Nvm Ill just be a general surgeon
Pre-med: Pediatrics is fine
Med school: Just some doctor is fine
Internship: I shouldve studied computer science
literally me except I'm in Uni right now.
Thinking about going from software engineering to medicine.
Me but still in college 😅
Relatable
Me but im still in highschool
I am only 15 years old and I'm watching this to be prepared.
Same
Sames
Yes
I'm only 13
I am also 15 😊
For those of you who want to become one, know that it may take a long time but it'll be worth it with the impact you make on people's lives!
That's a weird way to describe "shitload of money"
@@tomr6866 that too lol
@@tomr6866 😂
I once knew a great professor of surgery. He was a technical wizard, extremely knowledgeable and very highly regarded. He would take care of the pt. postop., of course, and then continue to consult but turn over all other care to internal medicine. He would say, "I am the pt.'s surgeon, not his internist. My job is to safely perform the most technically perfect operation possible." One should not attempt to be all things to all people. He was a very kind man and pts. loved him with good reason. Be that sort of surgeon.
Love being a General Surgeon. It is not for everyone though. Compared to other surgical specialties we are paid the least and work the longest hours overall. We take care of the sickest surgical patients overall. If like me you work in a trauma center and cover trauma as well, you have to be ready to care for patients who have no General surgery issues but Orthopedic or Neurosurgical issues. It is very rewarding though and I would not trade it for any other specialty.
The trauma surgeons can do big surgery like cardiothoracic or neurosurgery?
@@mazinosman4309
Almost always no, to both. Especially on the brain.
How much are you paid yearly?
Estimate it please..genuinely curious
Youre living my dream
I'm a 500lv medical student took a long time but I have finally decided "I'm going to be a general surgeon" even though the pay is low compared to other specialty DOING WHAT YOU LOVE MOST IS THE KEY TO ULTIMATE SUCCESS
whats the pay
@@lorianamoore744 it isn’t really even “low” the average pay if a general surgeon is around 200k average (in the US)
@@Czarwinters3313no it’s about 400,000 dollars a year
My buddy is a general surgeon and did a breast surgery fellowship. Now all he does is breast surgeries and has a much better work life balance.
Can you please make a "so you want to be a pathologist" video?
YES PLEASE 👍🏼
Yesss
YEEEESSSSS
no
It's out now lol
Your channel is one of the best channel I watch regarding medical school
keep up the good work
can you make a “so you want to be an oncologist” video next please ♥️♥️
Ofcourse my only ambition was to became a general surgeon 😍😍and save people with my own hands 😍♥️ I will pray for you guys to attain your ambition 🙌🙌 plz pray for me to♥️♥️
Same here we can do this
Support you Bro
Can You please make a "So You want yo be a ONCOLOGIST" please
Agreed
He can’t do that one because nobody actually wants to be an oncologist.
Please!
@@edhcb9359 Considering only 2 Hematology/Oncology fellowship spots in the US for PGY-4's went unfilled this year I would have to respectfully disagree.
@@scottm8433 I wasn’t really being serious. 🙄
Finallyyyyyyy I've been waiting for this video to come out so long😭😭😭😭❤
Metooo
I want to be a General Surgeon, thank you for this 🥺♥️
mee too
Can i ask You something
Can you please make a “ So you want to be a vascular surgeon “ next? Dying to see one rn!
Yesss that would be great!
U mean cardiologist lol
@@yourfuturedoctor8943 no they're different cardiologist diagnose and treat heart and cardiovascular systems. Vascular surgeons operate and work on patients, in any part of the body except the cardiovascular system or brain.
@@yourfuturedoctor8943 huh?
@@kiml1226 Thats also wrong. Cardiologists primarily work on the heart, vascular surgeons work on the plumbing for the heart.
I am a medical student and I want to say something about surgery.
First thing - Surgery looks so ''sexy'', because you operate, because you do hand procedures but many people don't realize that this is just about 1/3 of all work you do....you also do normal hospital work - because someone must take of the patient before and after the surgery....and also you do ambulance care - if someone cuts his/her finger and comes to the hospital...to be honest these two works (ward and ambulance) are not very popular among surgeons and it is very good way for burnout.
Second thing - Few months ago I spoke to OB/GYN at OR and he told me that he was deciding between surgery and ob/gyn. Then I asked him why he chose ob/gyn and he told me because surgery is ''no border speciality''. You have so many procedures, you have so many operations, so many techniques that you must know....so that's why he chose ob/gyn because it's more narrow
Third thing - 2 weeks ago I had my ENT rotation and some of my schoolmate said that he wants to be a surgeon. The ENT doctor turned around and said - I don't recommend it to you. The reasons were these two above and the last one was interesting. He said that if you are a surgeon, the maturation time is very long. Even if you have board certification from surgery it does not mean that you can operate. Of coure - some easy things like appendix etc...you can. But more complicated things you can't do. So after your board certification you must operate, operate and operate and maybe after next 5-10 years you will gain enough self esteem to operate as first surgeon. Until that you will be still assistant. So that's why he chose ENT.
In my opinion if you want to do some surgical procedures, I would choose some smaller surgical specialty like OB/GYN, ENT, Urology, Ophthalmology. These specialities aren't borderless and you can mature quickly.
Wow well spoken, I'm a first year medical student do you have any advice :)
All of this requires a whooooole lot of studying.
I have a great respect for people who’ve made M.D.
Thank you Medical Insiders for talking about future medical jobs as I hope to one day become a Pediatrician Thanks 😊!!
"So you want to be an Intensivist" Especially considering the different pathways from Anesthesia/EM or IM. How each pathway differs in training and how the different ICUs differ in what pts. and diseases they treat.
Big struggle on which path to choose to become an Intensivist...
Greetings from Germany!
Am here preparing just studying how to become a general surgeon,press pressing videos and then see this thanks your videos always help and hope that it will help others keep up
Thank you for the pediatric part!!
Ah this is the one I have been waiting for. I have been looking through so many specialties trying to see which one suits me!
Your videos keep getting better.

same
Hey I'm new to this channel your videos are awesome! Keep up the good work👍
Had a blast making this video with you!! Always an honor 🤓
Would not be surprised to see more and more integrated pathways becoming the norm as medicine is becoming hyper-specialized
I'm only 11 and I know that when Im older and can go to college I want to help people and knowing what I want to be so early I think can come to my advantage to being successful in life
I know you briefly discussed pediatric surgery in this video, but I was looking to see if you could go more in depth on the speciality and add on some subspecialties like neonatal or fetal surgery! Thanks for the videos!
I also want to know more about pediatric surgery
Me too!!!
Wow! Thank you so much ! This really helped me. The school I go to kinda expect us to know what we want to be when we go into college and or what major ( something like that )so this is going to help me a whole lot thank you !!!!
I just can't stop watching you now mann❤❤💯
Thanks
Favorite video so far!
I did a complete general surgery residency and started a plastic residency which I hated. I had generous vascular training already so I did general & vascular surgery (prior to development of required vascular fellowship) in private practice and loved it.
