I've watched this 2x already, atleast. I love that this didn't feel like I was listening to an interview Q being answered. It truly felt like an authentic, thoughtful response-- probably why i found it quite memorable & relatable. Thank you so much for bringing us along into your decision-making process. You've made me consider aspects of anesthesiology that perhaps I might never have❤
That is what I wish people talked about. Being introspective about how we come to life decisions is a skill many don't talk about. I am incredibly grateful that you found this helpful. It is the only reason why I do this.
Hey Kelvin - awesome video, thanks! You mention that you enjoyed anatomy in school and that you wanted it to be a big part of your practice. Do you find this is the case with Anesthesiology? I understand it is procedural heavy, but i would be under the assumption that most of the work is related to pharmacology/pathophysiology.
Emergency medicine used to be more competitive but nowadays anesthesiology is more competitive. Emergency is trending to be less competitive and anesthesia is trending to be more competitive.
Quick question about your program Does Hopkin have their residents do a double board certification in Anesthesiology and critical care within the 4 years? Or you have to do a separate Fellowship?
What’s up man, I tried to go to college to be a anesthesiologist after I graduated high school in 08 but it was gonna be too hard because of my cerebral palsy so now donate to the anesthesiologist Foundation, I have always wanted to be a anesthesiologist physician! I’m 33 from Memphis! I’m subscribe to Dr max TH-cam channel, he’s awesome
It means the world to me that you feel this way. And yes, Max is awesome. He's a resident at where I went to med school and trust me, he is just as nice in person as he is on camera.
It's surprising to me that you never mentioned working with patients during what is a very anxious time in their lives. A good anesthesiologist can read people, help calm their fears, reassure them. This should be an essential part of being an anesthesiologist.

@@kelvin-darko hey, what the different between Crna, AA and CAA?
This was great! And I’ve been torn between anesthesiology and neurology, but your perspective on anesthesiology is definitely persuasive.
Thanks for sharing your experience! Im a final year médical student and I am considering anesthesiology, great video! Do a Day in the Life video!
Happy you found it helpful! It's why I do this.
I love your points. Same reason why I love the field
I feel you on the notes taking part. I have a Love-Hate relationship with it.
Great video 👏🏽
Thanks!! This video gave me the perspective I was looking for.
Bro just made me make up my mind on doing anesthesiology😂😂💯🔥
You sir, are inspirational.
Thank you 😀

Wow that sounds badass-they come in during emergencies, stabilize the patient, then bounce lol
Great video. 🎉
Please, is Anesthesia as competitive as Emergency Medicine?
Emergency medicine used to be more competitive but nowadays anesthesiology is more competitive. Emergency is trending to be less competitive and anesthesia is trending to be more competitive.
I'm interested in becoming a crna and this is probably the most helpful video I've watched so far
can you tell the process of how you become an anesthesiologist and what major did you take in university after 12?
I was a Neuroscience major and Hispanic studies minor!
Great description of your desires & self awareness Dr. Ampem-Darko! *Following*
Hey Dr. Darko. I got inspired from watching your videos. I am in upper Marlboro, MD. And I was hoping if there’s a way I could shadow you !
Sadly, you can't shadow a resident (like myself) but reaching out to hospitals with attendings is a great place to start!
Quick question about your program
Does Hopkin have their residents do a double board certification in Anesthesiology and critical care within the 4 years? Or you have to do a separate Fellowship?
It's a five year track here for ICU double boarding. Hope this helps!
@kelvin-darko so the total Residency years for intern year, Residency and double board fellowship will be 5 years? Or 6 years?

@@kelvin-darko ok cool! I would like to meet max in person, I really enjoy donating to the anesthesiologist Foundation
really good video what would you say about the financial potential
No more than 80k a year
How many years do you have to school to become anesthesiologist
What course can I do to be anesthesiologist in college?
What undergraduate major did you take?
I was a major in Neuroscience with a minor in Hispanic Studies.
Is that the only course you can do to be an anesthesiologist
Was your friend Max Feinstein?
It's surprising to me that you never mentioned working with patients during what is a very anxious time in their lives. A good anesthesiologist can read people, help calm their fears, reassure them. This should be an essential part of being an anesthesiologist.
What’s understood doesn’t need to be explained.
you'll regret it later
I doubt it
I love your points. Same reason why I love the field
