Bro I’ve been watching you since MS1 and now I’m on the precipice of starting Gen Surge residency and here you are again helping me out. So great what you’ve done here.
When someone doesn't like your work because it cost him some efforts that doesn't mean you are mistaken that's mean your entourage act like lazy 😡😡😡dosn't my fault
Thank you for sharing these aspects, Dr. Webb. It seems that the personna of a surgeon is that they are too good to make mistakes. By your sharing examples of mistakes that you have made during your residency, I'm extremely confident that you will be a fantastic attending physician and a teacher of other residents. Also as an attending physician, please take time to talk with your patients, and not just your residents. But I feel that will not be it challenge for you.
As a med student I REALLY appreciate your willingness to be transparent about your mistakes! So many people in medicine like to pretend they know it all but being able to admit your shortcomings and warn the rest of us about trying to avoid those things is HIGHLY commendable!! Thanks as always Dr. Webb and keep up the great work man!! 👍🏾
Such humble honesty & candidness! I certainly would trust this doctor! I liked what he said about first trying conservative treatments! The guy who called this doc arrogant should see this video!
Thank you! There are many fake or humble-braggy answers to that type of question out there, but you were upfront and had really good advice. I'm sure that will be helpful to many.
Im going to be at an interview and they are going to ask me how I prepare myself over the years and I’m going to look at them with the most serious face and say “ Dr Webb’s TH-cam Videos... how els ?” 😎
Dr. Webb, thank you for the great content! I am a 32 year old engineer and working on my masters in engineering, but I am not happy in my chosen profession. My dream has always been to become an MD. Am I too late for med school and residency @ 32?? Is being a doctor worth leaving engineering, at my age? I would want to end up in primary care.
Hi, Thanks for the question. I get this question a lot. It's kind of hard to answer this question completely without knowing your story (family life, previous life experiences, future goals, etc) but here are my thoughts: You will be in your career working as a physician for 20-30+ years and I know the road to get to that point is arduous and lengthy, but I do believe it's worth it. You have to ask yourself, "Am I willing to sacrifice family and personal time, sacrifice a minimum of 8-10 years of my life and sacrifice financially to become a doctor?" And if that answer is yes, I say go for it. The average age in my medical school class was roughly 26-30 years old (oldest being 42 and youngest 23) and I currently work with 2 orthopedic surgeons who are 80+ years old. They have been a doctor for longer than I have been born. So, starting off medical school at (to overestimate it) 40 years old, you will be done around 50 years old and still can work 20 years and retire at 70. Check out my video on TH-cam that I posted on this same topic and subscribe to my channel to be the first to receive new videos that I post weekly! th-cam.com/users/antoniowebbmd th-cam.com/video/y3f820qKvPQ/w-d-xo.html I hope this helps. Good luck! Remember if medicine is something you really want to do, then NEVER give up. Also, I just published a book about my path to medicine called "Overcoming the Odds" which I talk about my time growing up in the rough streets of Louisiana, my time as a military medic serving in Iraq, and applying to medical school then residency. I give a lot of advice after each chapter. You should definitely check it out before you start med school. It's at: www.amazon.com/author/antoniowebbmd A.

Antonio J. Webb, M.D. Thank you for your time to reply. The advice is very sound and makes sense. It feels good knowing there are some older students in med school.. I shouldn’t have a problem getting into Med School with a BS in Nuclear Engineering? The basic courses included calc 1-4, physics 1&2, chem 1 and various thermodynamic classes among many other.
i mean seriously ii guess everyone can make same mistakes given not told already. Since you recognize your mistakes and work on them i guess they will be no longer mistakes instead will make you a great surgeon!
You didn't realize you needed to study every day? How did you get orthopedics? LOL! Just kidding. I know you earned it. But then you had to learn that you had to continue to earn it. Many I encounter do not understand that daily study is part of being a doctor, not just as an intern or resident. A proper doctor will study the rest of his/her career. In the old days we said an article a day. Now it's CME, recerts, MCQs, cases, journals, etc. But it is essentially daily....forever....until you retire. And once you retire you might find it hard to stop. LOL! Thanks for posting your videos.
Congrats Dr. Webb you are almost done! That's gatta feel great Love to see a video on what your next move is as an attending! Edit: I think you are two months out from completing your residency and then you will be a spine fellow for X years?
Informative video! Do you have any advice for a PA that will be entering a orthopedic surgery fellowship? Any resources you recommend during residency? Thanks!
I wouldn't say it was a "mistake" that you didn't read after you busted out an 8 to 12 hour shift at the hospital. What's a mistake is the fact that we have these kinds of work conditions thanks to crony capitalism. We don't have enough doctors and no one should have to do the same thing everyday, 12-16 hours a day. I love video games and sports but I could not play or watch games for 12-16 hours a day, I would go mad! You only get one go in this life, so never feel bad about time spent living your life.
Hay Dr. Webb I’ll be getting my bachelors when I’m 18 years I’m 17 right now (I started when I was 15). Do you recommend doing a masters or a post-bacc so I’m not super young when I apply to med school? And if you do recommend either one do you recommend I take the MCAT after the bachelors or after the masters or post-back? Thank You
$6,000 on residency interviewing/trips....Dr. Webb, you should have stayed in roach motels, ate fast food dollar menus, walked instead of uber, washed up at convenient stores, wore the same suit, etc...😂 JK JK.
"Would have did ...."? "Questions they axe ......"? Yup, you should have been studying English grammar everyday, because that error in grammar is inexcusable and an indication that you either did not pay attention in those classes or didn't care about how you present yourself in everyday conversation. It is such any easy thing to do to bring your command of English up to snuff.
Dude, just let the man speak the way he chooses to speak. He's taking time out of his extremely busy day to help current and future physicians learn from his mistakes. We all have little quirks in the way we speak. He shared his experiences and advice in a clear and concise manner, and was able to get his message across. That's all that matters. Especially when he's just making a quick, "off-the-cuff" TH-cam video for the benefit of others
Bro I’ve been watching you since MS1 and now I’m on the precipice of starting Gen Surge residency and here you are again helping me out. So great what you’ve done here.
Good stuff. 👊🏾
I thought these mistakes would be, "the time I cut someone’s finger off by accident." Great video and advice, Dr. Webb!
Or cutting the wrong finger
😆😆😆😆😆😆😆😆
If you take every mistake as a lesson, you will never lose
When someone doesn't like your work because it cost him some efforts that doesn't mean you are mistaken that's mean your entourage act like lazy 😡😡😡dosn't my fault
You are so true .these are the really big problem which we resident face during residency

Congratulations on almost finishing your residency!!

thank you very much for this video.
I feel like this video is necessary for every medical student who is on their way to start their residency
Thanks!
80-hours a week for 5-years? I'd be ready to retire after that lol.
ha
That would be a HARD PASS for me......lol. I'll gladly take a corporate marketing job for $120k a year for 45 hour weeks :)
I feel u but them I remember the 600k salary
I’m just joking. I love medicine ( lowkey true tho )
Not every specialty has numbers like that, it's mostly surgical specialties
good luck with fellowship. you will be a great doctor.
Thank you! There are many fake or humble-braggy answers to that type of question out there, but you were upfront and had really good advice. I'm sure that will be helpful to many.
Man literally you are amazing.
Great video! Learning from your mistakes makes you an improved doctor...and a better person. In the immortalized words of Kendrick Lamar, "Be humble!"
great reference Brother
Im glad I’m studying often in med school and hopefully I’ll continue this work effic. Sorry I can’t spell.
*_So insightful! Thanks for taking us along the journey! Please keep these videos coming!_*
Thank you as always for your valuable insight, Dr. Webb!
Greatly appreciate the transparency! Thanks Dr. Webb.
I’m sitting in the parking lot at nursing school and I’m looking around to see where that bass was coming from 😂😂
Wow your honesty is great. Thank you sir
It's humbling to be able to talk about humbling experiences of thinking you know something and finding out that you don't. Great video.
Thought meant a mistake in surgery!!! Thank God wasent!!😊
I'm in 2nd year internal medicine residency.. thank you for the videos
No prob!

Man every video you are dropping is a HIT! Keep it up!
You helped me decide that I’m going into orthopedic trauma surgery that you love your content
This reminded me I should get back to studying 😁
Adnan A lol whenever I watch Dr Webb and how hard he works it reminds me how bad I’m doing
This is a huge help. Thank you very much
Man you are definitely inspirational. I definitely appreciate the message.
Thanks!
Great advice for medical students 🏨😊
Thanks Nedra!
The time I harvested the median nerve and not the palmaris longus...
Ooo
@sean Husted Oh shit man..how did that turn out?
Damn xD
Damn... what happened afterwards?
Don’t worry.. nobody knows everything ✌🏾✌🏾
Oh my goodness, 9 years of residency sounds like a commitment
Hey man appreciate truth you bring!
No prob! Thanks for watching

Awesome video. Appreciate the humility! Have you done a video on the stereotype that many doctors lack humility?
you could say doctors have the most humility haha

Hey Doctor Webb, do surgical residents need to complete any sort of research in order to complete residency?
Yes most programs require residents to complete 1-2+ projects prior to graduation
This is gold wisdom. Thank you sir

“It was a lot of money” - a man who doesn’t have his parents paying for college :(
As a resident, how many hours do/did you sleep?
Just depends on what rotation you are on. Some rotations get more sleep than others. Trauma surgery not so much
This scares me only because I might need spinal surgery soon. I have kyphosis.
Is research during medical school summers the best route to acquire experience and still make money?
lmao what's up with the fallout 2 music in the background Dr. Webb?
Thank you for the video! it's very helpful!
You are welcome Roxanne!
Thank you for these amazing advices
Thanks!!
Gosh, you are so good.
Thank you! 🙏🏾
Sir how did u decide you want a surgical branch and not a non SX branch
WHAT!!! I thought residents can reside ANYWHERE they want during residency. Is it compulsory to live in hospitals during residency Dr. Webb?
what was your reason to do fellowship? Just wondering
Hey Doct Webb, do u learn any business/marketing related skills during residency?
Quick question, what would you recommend is the best text for detailed Pathophysiology?
Omar Khan go back to Pakistan and I’ll tell u
I like Robbins

Congrats Dr. Webb you are almost done! That's gatta feel great
Love to see a video on what your next move is as an attending!
Edit: I think you are two months out from completing your residency and then you will be a spine fellow for X years?
The book u have to read do they give one to u ?.....nd is is accesible online ? Reply plz
they have review books they are recommended. it is accessible online
Informative video! Do you have any advice for a PA that will be entering a orthopedic surgery fellowship? Any resources you recommend during residency? Thanks!

Can anyone tell me what a resident doctor do? I mean they study or they do diagnosis and all stuffs
Have you ever slept through a page or know what happens if you do?
Ha I can’t remember doing that. The pager is really loud and if you don’t answer they will just call your cell until you wake up

Hay Dr. Webb I’ll be getting my bachelors when I’m 18 years I’m 17 right now (I started when I was 15). Do you recommend doing a masters or a post-bacc so I’m not super young when I apply to med school? And if you do recommend either one do you recommend I take the MCAT after the bachelors or after the masters or post-back? Thank You
Good job!
Hey what you study of your 4 years before med school
Those are not mistakes
Do you do boards after residency no matter how long it is? If residency is 3, 5, 9 years
For example if you do fellowship.
I want to be a DPT-NCS
Dr. Webb, I thought u were calling it quits
You have to watch the end of that video
How old are you bro? You seem pretty young
Do you know the quickest way to become a doctor
Go to medical school
Can you date pretty actively during residency?
Relations are a liability.
Second!
