Agree, as not listening isn’t just rude but possibly dangerous. The ENT I dumped was too fixated on a TMJ diagnosis to the point of not listening or ordering additional tests. My current ENT listened to what I told her about my chronic ear infections and ordered a hearing test. Audiologist diagnosed a mild conductive hearing loss and ENT said I had chronic otitis media (both did not think I had TMJ, nor did my dentist). I reported bad ENT to my state’s medical board in hopes he will see that he wasn’t just rude but possibly dangerous to his patients.
Same here I have always wanted to be neurologist or gynecologist I wish us luck girl I will come back to this 2years from now once I get into medical school😊
@@ratis111 hmm idk about that homie. I studied and it paid off. Believe you can and your'e 1/2 way there; now let's put in the work for the other 1/2 🙏
I don't know if this is of any relevance to any of you young and upcoming doctors. I was a nurse,( am retired now at 74 years of age), but when I first went into training school; the tutor said to us, right from the word GO! Never think of yourselves as just a student. Start already NOW to think of yourselves as fully fledged nurses, making your own decisions, and carrying them out with confidence. This'll teach you to think for yourself, and analyse yout actions, and reactions, but if you get stuck! That's what the facultyvis for, to teach, instruct and encourage you to move forward every day. I found that very helpful, and kept me motivated, when the road became too rough, and uphill in places, and that kept me going.
As a physician I enjoy your videos. They are truthful and insightful. Keep up the great work. I just wanted to share something with you and your followers. When I first started my practice back in 2004 I covered my walls with all my diplomas and certificates. I soon realized that people really don’t care about what school I went to or where I did my residency training or how many honors I’ve received. What they wanted to know was how compassionate I was about their condition and if I was willing to listen to them. My patients know me as the “joke doctor”. Because I always start every visit by telling them a new joke. It takes away their anxiety and helps them to relax and trust in my ability to help them. Through the years I have created such strong bonds with my patients that I have been invited to hundreds of weddings, birthday, christenings, and other family events of my patients. To them I’m not just their doctor but their friend. It’s the small things that matter. Every patient that I do surgery on I make sure to call them the next day to see how they are doing. It only takes a few minutes of my time but means a great deal to them.
3rd year med student here! Honestly never thought id be this close to finishing med proper but wow that went by fast. Awesome video as always, thanks for always reminding me why I went down this path and to never give up!
I am in my final year of medical school and I agree, it's not about how much you can memorize, but about how you interact with people. Working on this everyday
Yo, I went to get my lymph nodes checked and the specialist had gorgeous handwriting I was beyond impressed because she seemed like a really great doctor as well
This was so encouraging. I was starting to feel down about this whole journey but you just reminded me that I can do this and that I’ll be great if I just keep going. Thank you so much! 😇
I am currently a high school senior and wanting to go into the medical field. This channel has widen my sense of what I am going to face and helped me understand what I would need to do going further in this study.

I got to really change some of my habits to build that work ethic, procrastination and a regular sleep schedule is something I struggle with, Luckily I really spent this summer trying to stay In a routine and cleaning up my checklist everyday as long as getting to bed by 11pm. Just as way to practice for the coming school year. I still think I have a ways to go, but I've become far better with time management and not procrastinating in the last 3 months.
@@laibabilal442 something that I do that helps me not procrastinate is to think about your goal and how working hard will help me reach that goal (if you want to be a doctor you need to have really good grades and not be a procrastinator at all)
i really want to be a doctor, specifically a pediatric orthopedic surgeon. my dad is an anesthesiologist and i have grown up hearing about cases and watching videos of surgeries and even going to hospital open houses. all i want to be is a doctor. im 13 with a 4.0 GPA, so hopefully i really can become a doctor if i keep up what im doing
I love the graphics Dr. Jubbal! I also love how you said it is all about taking care of patients and not just the credentials. The perfect plan is not as effective as a good enough plan that they will stick to.
Can you make a video of surgeon life and route vs internal medicine Doctor. (Time for family and life, how long they work, the amount of years it takes to be one, salary, etc) please please please
And could you possibly put in that video emphasis on the career of a female surgeon, maybe even an interview regarding especially the family life, if it "allows" you having more than one kid or any at all?
Thanks for your video series. I have mentored medical students, residents and fellows for many decades. I am glad to refer them to your channel for the content, yet; there no substitute for the mentor/mentee relationship. My consistent advice regarding becoming a good doctor- “I do not want the smartest intern in the room, I want the one that gets up in the middle of the night and goes to the bedside!”
I loved it! I'm from Dominican Republic just starting pre-med, and this made me realized how much doctors need to work in their personality for being real down-to-earth superheroes! Keep going, just subscribed 💙
@@paradiseentertainment166Here you have to go through pre-med first for about two years in most of the universities, then you go through medicine for four years!
100 percent truth! I remember that sinking feeling in medical school thinking to myself did I really sign up for this? What I was referring to was that I was not being intellectually challenged enough and instead was bombarded with information overload and hated and resented sheer memorizing stuff. I thought to myself great , my ability to be a good physician rests solely on my ability to memorize as much info as possible and very little to do with being able to solve a challenging conceptual problem. I thought in what world does that make sense apparently this one!
I'm in my 2nd year Veterinary Medicine and i feel the same thing you felt. Memorizing a lot of things really sucks. It's the thing that i have to work really hard. But fortunately, i still have the drive to be a vet. 😄
This is reassuring, I'll be graduating soon to college (1 more year left) and pursue the field of medicine. I'm going to be a pulmonary doctor. Wish Me Luck.
It's so true, compassion is a skill that can be developed over time. Like anything else it's a skill and quality that can be trained, I'm trying to work on it as I go forward in medicine. What a great video Dr. J.
I found my passion for the health industry as my school offered volunteer work i put my name down and fell in love with it i have kept with it for many years I am now third year med student.
@@SaviourSol Yes I did! And even though it's really hard with all the exams and classes, I feel really certain of my choice. Every practical class where I have to interview and physically exam a patient feels awesome; there's some magic in directly helping people with their well being. I couldn't recomend it more!
@@luisrocha26 Its ok!! Congrats!! Haha, in these 2 years I have also made the move and i am now a medical student 2nd year and couldnt be happier with this choice. This comments brought me back to when it was just an idea..
Love the video. Motivational Interviewing is a therapeutic model often integrated with CBT in clinical counseling. It’s an effective & efficient set of techniques when practiced correctly and appropriately
It brings such joy when we come across doctors who are so compassionate..who are concerned about our health more than ourselves..its a really important feature that all patients want from all doctors💖
I'll level with you. I just finished up a semester long nursing theory class and that part about caring about the people you have the privledge of treting resonates with me. As someone who chose the nursing route instead of the physician route, that is the sole reason why. I had to take a month long hiatus during the second year of my BSN because of a really bad septic infection. I've gotta tell you, of the 7ish doctors who saw me, from ED to ortho to infectious disease to internal care, not a single one of them gave me rhe vibe that my admitting nurse gave me. Caring about people and showing a genuine interest in the person as a whole turns an often unpleasant hospital stay into a great experience, all things considered. Please don't take this as disparaging to physicians, as I have several that I've had the pleasure of meeting over the course of my life, but the doctor who masters the razor thin line of being smart and analytical enough to treat the condition and caring enough to realize that patients are people at the end of the day will make sweeping and systemic change to medicine, and I hope, that, once I've had the privelesge to serve patients at the end of the college journey I'm one, I woukd have the privilege to see that for myself. This is an excellent video. Thank you for sharing.
@@MedSchoolInsiders how can I get my confidence up I feel like I’m not smart enough and I lack a bit of motivation but I want to definitely become a doctor since I was 8 I’m 19 now
@@miabangtan4150 have you heard the phrase ‘fake it till you make it’ I was told this by a doctor when I was practising for interviews into med school. You gotta to pretend that you are all confident on the outside even if you are a nervous wreck inside, and if you keep doing that, after a few times, it becomes a habit and you become a natural at it, but it is tough when you start tho :)
Yet to find one video of yours where I don't rush to hit the thumbs up because it is so well thought and useful. Hahahaha! Thank you for all you do Dr. Kevin. We medical students need some real, effective and sometimes harsh advice to keep us going as well as someone to understand what we go through. You do both of these things and we're grateful for it. :)
I don't have any talent just a bookworm i want to be a doctor and help people but i love astronomy too so much curious about space... At some point I thought I would be a researcher cause I just love science but i choose this road to be a doc at last... Deep down in my heart i am still confused..even idk if I am confused lol
*More knowledge then you thought possible* this is so true when you applicate it to anatomy... *Things don't work as they worked in High school* You helped me overcome my bad learning techinques not suitable for medical school (like highlighting and repetitive reading of chapters). Thank you :)
I am a just graduating chief resident in psychiatry (attending in a week). I agree with this list and have had to rely on all of these traits heavily throughout my training. Besides this, I would also add grit/determination. The ability to persevere in the face of sometimes overwhelming adversity is a great boon as a doctor. Conversely, I think if you cite doctors that are "good" but lacking in certain criteria, it probably can be categorized in one of these dimensions mentioned.
I want to help people. I love science, biology, I love people and I love learning new things, but I'm concerned about being burnt out. I'm prone to depression and I don't want to be so overworked I get stuck in my own head. I'm also very passionate, I have so many things I want to do with my life, but I would also love to be a doctor. I could use some wisdom from anyone currently in or has been through med school. Should I go for it? Does anyone have any advice?
you sound like a good fit for the job !! i think there may be a couple obstacles you may need to overcome , but it's definitely possible !! keep working on your dream and it will pay off ... i am aiming to pursue a career in dermatology !! i have mostly the same traits as you , but it is hard to stay motivated !! that's what i will work on ... motivation and perseverance !! we can do this together !! ✊😁
Look into becoming a PA. I have been considering MD over PA and if there are many more things you want to do with your life, worried about burnout, yet are still passionate about medicine, PA might be for you!
This is the most sincere thing you will ever read. For those who read this and want to be doctors, I am already a doctor and life is not what you think it will be, the system sucks, which does not allow you to enjoy what you do. Think about it many times before entering this eternal path, I recommend that you choose another career
It’s my first year at med school guys(during cov-19) I feel confused sometimes but I always think about becoming an awesome doctor. Maybe in the future we might become co-workers. Wish everybody a great day or night but also a great life.
I am the BIGGEST procrastinator, and when involved with depression it is HUGE. my dream is to be a doctor but if I want to do this, I need to get this procrastination under control
an idea: divide work is small portions and study at times when you know you can focus I had the same issue, still working on it but it's getting better😅
Allium cepa yea. This past year has been very hard for me as everything fell apart. And as a result I failed grade 12 :( my GPA is horrible and now I’m trying to get my GPA back up and get the credits so I can graduate and go to premed :/
As a veteran patient, healthcare worker, and post-bacc student, thank you for emphasizing bedside manner. For me, bedside manner is just as - if not more - important than knowledge. Anyone can learn and memorize info, but not everyone can communicate well with/care about patients
I really wish there were more doctors that possessed these qualities, esp. emotional intelligence and compassion. They seem to become a rare commodity.
@@MedSchoolInsiders You're probably right. I'm from Germany and in uni there is no emphasis on listening to patients' concerns. If patients as people with feelings and questions get talked about at all. (Thank you for all the great videos btw)
I feel as if I am too old to start now. I'm 25 (young I know) but I feel as if everyone knew they wanted to be a doctor when they were 17/18, and went towards that right out of high school. It took me until I was 23 to realize I wanted to be a doctor ( I have my AA now, and working on my bachelors) but it took me absolutely forever to get to this point because I didn't know what I want. I can absorb and memorize material like no joke, but I am just worried that my past with not knowing until later and me messing around in the beginning of college (not making straight A's) will really screw me over.
You’re definitely not too old to start! Once you get out of med school and residency you’ll still have many decades to work in medicine. You might not be able to change the past but you are able to control the present. Do the best you can now. Med schools look at GPA trending so if your GPA goes up and stays up, they may forgive previous bad grades.
I just wanted to tell you I love your videos. Aside from being directed towards medical students, the message is positive and somewhat universal. I'm an EMT in my late thirties..wishing I did something different.
I’m a high school student in india...all these years, i wanted to pursue a career in the field of finance. But now I’m having second thoughts and feel that medicine would be a better career option for me. I have an eidetic (photographic) memory which makes it really easy for me to remember huge magnitudes of informations. Next year, i have to choose a subject to major in. I need to quickly make a decision as finance and medicine are two completely different fields. Any advice?
YES YOU CAN GO WITH MEDICINE. YOU HAVE THIS UNIQUE CAPABILITY WHICH MAKES YOU EASIER TO LEARN. BUT FINANCE IS A THEORETICAL SUBJECT THAT BOREDOMES YOU. LET YOU GO WITH THE PATH WHICH SUITS YOU. IF YOU HAVE PROPER TIME MANAGING SKILLS, AND PROPER LEARNING TECHNIQUE ALONG WITH THE PERFECT REVISION, YOU WILL DEFINITELY SUCCEED.😊😊😊😊 HEARTFUL WISHES TO YOU. -BY A BIOLOGY STUDENT.
Only go into medicine if you’re ready to study for the rest of yourself. It doesn’t stop when you finish med school. You’re always learning. So only get into medicine if you’re willing to commit to it for a lifetime
Medical field is not all about studying . If you have a feeling that you can go to any heights just to cure someone else’s pain then you choose to become a doctor. But even in finance you must be good at communicating and pretty much good at math not in scores but you should have a mathematical mind. Both of the traits that I have mentioned are not something that you can judge on the basis of your memory. But they are a part of your personality. A character that represents you better .
Becoming a doctor is my dream, i know this is random but I just want to make more friends in the medical community 🏥 because I don’t have many of them right now, more friends = more opportunities. I’m in college, the beginning of the journey. 😁
Best advice I’ve gotten son be single till your fellowship because when life hits you you’re a father gotta take care of your family, holidays reunion think about it. Sacrifice your life for others even it comes to the cost of sacrifice your time with yours better yet be single.
Hi!...I'm not a native english speaker, but I'm in english classes. So, I will subscribe to practice my english and to learn more about these topics because I will be a doctor too! :3..
Not a doctor but studying to be a clinical psychologist, still your videos have impact and bring extra insight even beyond the realm of being a doctor, thank you
I recall having seen 3 pts. treated for depression by "clinical psychologists". One was hypothyroid, one had sleep apnea and one was suffering from a medication side effect. When these were corrected, no more "depression". It's great to be a psychologist but don't be a stupid one.
I just came out of my MCAT and I hope I did well. Your videos are so inspiring so thank you for this because I can relate to 4 of these qualities you mentioned
I am a nurse assistant and I wish I could be a physician. I love the medical field so much. I am going to nursing school though. May the lord have mercy.
Great video Dr. Jubbal ☺️ I’m a non-US medical student in Europe (6 year MD program) and I intend to apply for US residency in a few years time. I would be extremely interested in learning some tips on the application process as a foreign medical graduate. I’m sure that many of your viewers have the same plan as me, it would be great if you could offer us some tips 😌 For example, how realistic would it be to obtain an internal med residency position in NYC with competitive step scores, but only 3 months of US clinical experience and limited resources to travel and attend potential interviews? How many programs should I apply to?
Jordan Keith for one, the pay is much better. General physicians only earn an average salary of about £70,000 here (UK), while the US counterpart can be over 3 times as much.
I will do my best, thank you for the video! A question I have is: which one of those characteristics you talked about to do you notice doctors lacking the most? It may then be a great way to assess where future generations of doctors need to improve.
Nearing the end of my 3rd year of medical school and I don't think that it can be overstated how important Resiliency and Adaptability are. I have found that my key to unlocking those traits is positive attitude. Throughout your education you will have lots of tasks that can seem meaningless (and yes, especially medical school years, I've heard undergrads spout fallacies about not having "busy work" or "uninteresting material" once you finally make it to medical school, that just isn't true), your ability to have a good attitude, live in the moment, and make the most out of even the most seemingly useless tasks will decide the level of bitterness you will take with you into your future medical practice. Best of luck to all, no matter where you're at in your journey!
I clicked on this video because I just got excepted into a university to study premed my major is neuroscience and while that really hit home I also have ulcerative colitis and my goal is to become a doctor and help others but wow that’s awesome I feel that really is a sign from God for me to become a doctor hearing stories of others who despite ulcerative colitis and Crohn’s became a doctor trillion inspiration thank you so much for sharing
Today, I cried outside of our student union because I'm having trouble with the simple concept of "hypotheses" and how to spot them in "if, then" statements. Honestly, I felt really ridiculous about it, so much so that I went thinking that maybe medicine isn't for me over some small piece of the scientific theory. But I've been doing this crazy undergrad journey for ten years - with so many bumps along the way that kept me from finishing. I didn't know what I was doing my first year. I lost people my second year. I took a break for years. I went back, then there wasn't any money and two years from that point, I'm almost starting over, but, I know that I can do this. It's been years since high school - of course I'm going to be confused - just have to keep going. I know I'll be a great doctor, this video didn't need to tell me that, but it did reinforce that that was going to be true. So, thank you, Dr. Jubbal. I appreciate it.
Please can you add translation into arabic... That i can share these videos with my arabic medical friends? Realy thank you for all information in your videos🌹

And could you possibly put in that video emphasis on the career of a female surgeon, maybe even an interview regarding especially the family life, if it "allows" you having more than one kid or any at all?
@@xenyat8819 on his personal vlog channel he has videos of that matter that may help you
@@thomas.02 thank you!!

Thanks for your video series. I have mentored medical students, residents and fellows for many decades. I am glad to refer them to your channel for the content, yet; there no substitute for the mentor/mentee relationship. My consistent advice regarding becoming a good doctor- “I do not want the smartest intern in the room, I want the one that gets up in the middle of the night and goes to the bedside!”
I loved it! I'm from Dominican Republic just starting pre-med, and this made me realized how much doctors need to work in their personality for being real down-to-earth superheroes! Keep going, just subscribed 💙
Anny Rodríguez wby didn’t u do medicine in DR?
@@paradiseentertainment166Here you have to go through pre-med first for about two years in most of the universities, then you go through medicine for four years!
Well you merry me i sm alone
Single ❤❤😍😍😍😍😍
If I were a doctor I will try my best to help others and my dreams will come true one day 😃👏👏👌
100 percent truth!
I remember that sinking feeling in medical school thinking to myself did I really sign up for this? What I was referring to was that I was not being intellectually challenged enough and instead was bombarded with information overload and hated and resented sheer memorizing stuff. I thought to myself great , my ability to be a good physician rests solely on my ability to memorize as much info as possible and very little to do with being able to solve a challenging conceptual problem. I thought in what world does that make sense apparently this one!
I'm in my 2nd year Veterinary Medicine and i feel the same thing you felt. Memorizing a lot of things really sucks. It's the thing that i have to work really hard. But fortunately, i still have the drive to be a vet. 😄
And how do you feel about it now?
Bro I just searched up “what to know if you are going to be a doctor” and all the videos I saw was from this guy, like dude
I am a successful pediatrician doctor, I am really happy I got what I wanted. Whatever I say comes true and that is permanent for me
This is reassuring, I'll be graduating soon to college (1 more year left) and pursue the field of medicine. I'm going to be a pulmonary doctor. Wish Me Luck.
Don’t be such a fat head
you got this!! good luck
How is it

I wish you the best ❤️
It's so true, compassion is a skill that can be developed over time. Like anything else it's a skill and quality that can be trained, I'm trying to work on it as I go forward in medicine. What a great video Dr. J.
I found my passion for the health industry as my school offered volunteer work i put my name down and fell in love with it i have kept with it for many years I am now third year med student.
I was really curious about the life of being a doctor... And now knowing you're a plastic surgeon which I aspire to be... It's really a pleasure 😀
Small thing but I love how you use animations of male and female doctors. I appreciate it :)
I'm already a doctor and I've just come back from my first set of nights. I had to watch your videos because I feel so inadequate.
I'm considering a change of career from computer science to medicine, and your videos have been helping me a lot to think this thoroughly. Thank you!
So a year passed. Did you make the move?
So another 2 years passed. Did you make the move?
@@SaviourSol Yes I did! And even though it's really hard with all the exams and classes, I feel really certain of my choice. Every practical class where I have to interview and physically exam a patient feels awesome; there's some magic in directly helping people with their well being. I couldn't recomend it more!
@@ioana440 I'm sorry for taking so long tô answer this, but I have just wrote a comment below talking briefly about my experience (=
@@luisrocha26 Its ok!! Congrats!! Haha, in these 2 years I have also made the move and i am now a medical student 2nd year and couldnt be happier with this choice. This comments brought me back to when it was just an idea..
Love the video.
Motivational Interviewing is a therapeutic model often integrated with CBT in clinical counseling.
It’s an effective & efficient set of techniques when practiced correctly and appropriately
It brings such joy when we come across doctors who are so compassionate..who are concerned about our health more than ourselves..its a really important feature that all patients want from all doctors💖

I'll level with you. I just finished up a semester long nursing theory class and that part about caring about the people you have the privledge of treting resonates with me. As someone who chose the nursing route instead of the physician route, that is the sole reason why. I had to take a month long hiatus during the second year of my BSN because of a really bad septic infection. I've gotta tell you, of the 7ish doctors who saw me, from ED to ortho to infectious disease to internal care, not a single one of them gave me rhe vibe that my admitting nurse gave me. Caring about people and showing a genuine interest in the person as a whole turns an often unpleasant hospital stay into a great experience, all things considered. Please don't take this as disparaging to physicians, as I have several that I've had the pleasure of meeting over the course of my life, but the doctor who masters the razor thin line of being smart and analytical enough to treat the condition and caring enough to realize that patients are people at the end of the day will make sweeping and systemic change to medicine, and I hope, that, once I've had the privelesge to serve patients at the end of the college journey I'm one, I woukd have the privilege to see that for myself.
This is an excellent video. Thank you for sharing.
Everything checks out except confidence, i have low self-esteem
You can change that
@@MedSchoolInsiders how can I get my confidence up I feel like I’m not smart enough and I lack a bit of motivation but I want to definitely become a doctor since I was 8 I’m 19 now
@@miabangtan4150 have you heard the phrase ‘fake it till you make it’ I was told this by a doctor when I was practising for interviews into med school. You gotta to pretend that you are all confident on the outside even if you are a nervous wreck inside, and if you keep doing that, after a few times, it becomes a habit and you become a natural at it, but it is tough when you start tho :)
Yet to find one video of yours where I don't rush to hit the thumbs up because it is so well thought and useful. Hahahaha! Thank you for all you do Dr. Kevin. We medical students need some real, effective and sometimes harsh advice to keep us going as well as someone to understand what we go through. You do both of these things and we're grateful for it. :)
Thanks for your support :)
4th year med student here, I love your videos
Thanks for watching :)
It's my first year in med school, I hope I can be the great doctor I wanna be in the future 💜
Most important part? Willingness to sacrifice your talents and capacity in order to serve others. Most docs would make great CEOs, engineers, etc.
Could you please elaborate this? I'm really interested in what you mean by this
I'm cnfused 😥
I don't have any talent just a bookworm i want to be a doctor and help people but i love astronomy too so much curious about space... At some point I thought I would be a researcher cause I just love science but i choose this road to be a doc at last... Deep down in my heart i am still confused..even idk if I am confused lol
*More knowledge then you thought possible* this is so true when you applicate it to anatomy...
*Things don't work as they worked in High school*
You helped me overcome my bad learning techinques not suitable for medical school (like highlighting and repetitive reading of chapters). Thank you :)
You’ve earned a lot of respect from your viewers after this.
I'm sure in 10 years I'll be a good doctor 😁
I am a just graduating chief resident in psychiatry (attending in a week). I agree with this list and have had to rely on all of these traits heavily throughout my training. Besides this, I would also add grit/determination. The ability to persevere in the face of sometimes overwhelming adversity is a great boon as a doctor.
Conversely, I think if you cite doctors that are "good" but lacking in certain criteria, it probably can be categorized in one of these dimensions mentioned.
Love this! Thank you for your continuous effort in these videos! These are very insightful and help me understand what it means to be a physician.
Thanks for watching Sam
I want to help people. I love science, biology, I love people and I love learning new things, but I'm concerned about being burnt out. I'm prone to depression and I don't want to be so overworked I get stuck in my own head. I'm also very passionate, I have so many things I want to do with my life, but I would also love to be a doctor. I could use some wisdom from anyone currently in or has been through med school. Should I go for it? Does anyone have any advice?
Dorothy Agyekum I’m actually agnostic but that’s super super sweet! thank you that made my day 💖
It’s like I’m reading my personality traits. You will be great, just find ways to keep you from being sad, and manage your time
you sound like a good fit for the job !! i think there may be a couple obstacles you may need to overcome , but it's definitely possible !! keep working on your dream and it will pay off ... i am aiming to pursue a career in dermatology !! i have mostly the same traits as you , but it is hard to stay motivated !! that's what i will work on ... motivation and perseverance !! we can do this together !! ✊😁
I wanna be a doctor too ...but God knows what wil happen in our life so let's pray to get our passion.
Look into becoming a PA. I have been considering MD over PA and if there are many more things you want to do with your life, worried about burnout, yet are still passionate about medicine, PA might be for you!
Your videos has really helped me improve my grades🙌
I'm 22 and I want to be a doctor someday.💛
This is the most sincere thing you will ever read. For those who read this and want to be doctors, I am already a doctor and life is not what you think it will be, the system sucks, which does not allow you to enjoy what you do. Think about it many times before entering this eternal path, I recommend that you choose another career
Thanks i needed this so much as motivation
Good luck!
It’s my first year at med school guys(during cov-19) I feel confused sometimes but I always think about becoming an awesome doctor. Maybe in the future we might become co-workers. Wish everybody a great day or night but also a great life.
I am the BIGGEST procrastinator, and when involved with depression it is HUGE. my dream is to be a doctor but if I want to do this, I need to get this procrastination under control
an idea:
divide work is small portions and study at times when you know you can focus
I had the same issue, still working on it but it's getting better😅
Allium cepa yea. This past year has been very hard for me as everything fell apart. And as a result I failed grade 12 :( my GPA is horrible and now I’m trying to get my GPA back up and get the credits so I can graduate and go to premed :/
@@DragosDomnara You can do it! 💜💜💜💜💜💜
As a veteran patient, healthcare worker, and post-bacc student, thank you for emphasizing bedside manner. For me, bedside manner is just as - if not more - important than knowledge. Anyone can learn and memorize info, but not everyone can communicate well with/care about patients
Congratulations on hitting 600k subscribers
Thanks buddy!
after 2 years from today, 16.19.24, i will be in med school and i will come back here to comment
This made me wanna be a doctor even more!
I really wish there were more doctors that possessed these qualities, esp. emotional intelligence and compassion. They seem to become a rare commodity.
I think they have it but the cynicism and burn out from a broken medical training system beats it out of them
@@MedSchoolInsiders You're probably right. I'm from Germany and in uni there is no emphasis on listening to patients' concerns. If patients as people with feelings and questions get talked about at all.
(Thank you for all the great videos btw)
I feel as if I am too old to start now. I'm 25 (young I know) but I feel as if everyone knew they wanted to be a doctor when they were 17/18, and went towards that right out of high school. It took me until I was 23 to realize I wanted to be a doctor ( I have my AA now, and working on my bachelors) but it took me absolutely forever to get to this point because I didn't know what I want. I can absorb and memorize material like no joke, but I am just worried that my past with not knowing until later and me messing around in the beginning of college (not making straight A's) will really screw me over.
You’re definitely not too old to start! Once you get out of med school and residency you’ll still have many decades to work in medicine. You might not be able to change the past but you are able to control the present. Do the best you can now. Med schools look at GPA trending so if your GPA goes up and stays up, they may forgive previous bad grades.
@@12345tikimiki Thank you ♥
I'm sure l will make my dream come true 🖤👩⚕️
Just stay focused and never give up 💪🖤
feeling a bit relaxed after listening you

I just wanted to tell you I love your videos. Aside from being directed towards medical students, the message is positive and somewhat universal. I'm an EMT in my late thirties..wishing I did something different.
I’m a high school student in india...all these years, i wanted to pursue a career in the field of finance. But now I’m having second thoughts and feel that medicine would be a better career option for me. I have an eidetic (photographic) memory which makes it really easy for me to remember huge magnitudes of informations. Next year, i have to choose a subject to major in. I need to quickly make a decision as finance and medicine are two completely different fields. Any advice?
YES YOU CAN GO WITH MEDICINE. YOU HAVE THIS UNIQUE CAPABILITY WHICH MAKES YOU EASIER TO LEARN. BUT FINANCE IS A THEORETICAL SUBJECT THAT BOREDOMES YOU. LET YOU GO WITH THE PATH WHICH SUITS YOU. IF YOU HAVE PROPER TIME MANAGING SKILLS, AND PROPER LEARNING TECHNIQUE ALONG WITH THE PERFECT REVISION, YOU WILL DEFINITELY SUCCEED.😊😊😊😊 HEARTFUL WISHES TO YOU. -BY A BIOLOGY STUDENT.
Only go into medicine if you’re ready to study for the rest of yourself. It doesn’t stop when you finish med school. You’re always learning. So only get into medicine if you’re willing to commit to it for a lifetime
If you love people, md . Love money, financial.
Medical field is not all about studying . If you have a feeling that you can go
to any heights just to cure someone else’s pain then you choose to become a doctor. But even in finance you must be good at communicating and pretty much good at math not in scores but you should have a mathematical mind. Both of the traits that I have mentioned are not something that you can judge on the basis of your memory. But they are a part of your personality. A character that represents you better .
Omg! You just described me! What are you doing now?
Becoming a doctor is my dream, i know this is random but I just want to make more friends in the medical community 🏥 because I don’t have many of them right now, more friends = more opportunities. I’m in college, the beginning of the journey. 😁
Great video man. Very true and very well made.
Best advice I’ve gotten son be single till your fellowship because when life hits you you’re a father gotta take care of your family, holidays reunion think about it. Sacrifice your life for others even it comes to the cost of sacrifice your time with yours better yet be single.
Compassion is really really required..
Hi!...I'm not a native english speaker, but I'm in english classes. So, I will subscribe to practice my english and to learn more about these topics because I will be a doctor too! :3..
Thank you very much for helping us! 😍
I really just want to say thank you so so much!! your channel helped me a lot 😭😭❤️❤️
Can you make a video talking about the possibility of going from nursing school to medical school and how? Thank you!
We may do a blog post on that!
Not a doctor but studying to be a clinical psychologist, still your videos have impact and bring extra insight even beyond the realm of being a doctor, thank you
I recall having seen 3 pts. treated for depression by "clinical psychologists". One was hypothyroid, one had sleep apnea and one was suffering from a medication side effect. When these were corrected, no more "depression". It's great to be a psychologist but don't be a stupid one.
Waking up to Dr. J's new video! 😄 (I slept in 🙃)
I just came out of my MCAT and I hope I did well. Your videos are so inspiring so thank you for this because I can relate to 4 of these qualities you mentioned
Thanks for watching and I hope you receive a score you’re happy with!
How did it end up going?
I am 14, my ultimate dream is to become a doctor. I’m scared I will not be successful, but your videos really help me. Thank you very much💛
You shouldn’t be scared, be confident and resilient! : )
SeeminglyWoke thanks:))
I am a nurse assistant and I wish I could be a physician. I love the medical field so much. I am going to nursing school though. May the lord have mercy.
Why not make the switch or attend medical school after nursing school?
I love u forever i like u really i am single ❤❤😍😍
Yes yes I am resilient
Great video Dr. Jubbal ☺️
I’m a non-US medical student in Europe (6 year MD program) and I intend to apply for US residency in a few years time. I would be extremely interested in learning some tips on the application process as a foreign medical graduate. I’m sure that many of your viewers have the same plan as me, it would be great if you could offer us some tips 😌 For example, how realistic would it be to obtain an internal med residency position in NYC with competitive step scores, but only 3 months of US clinical experience and limited resources to travel and attend potential interviews? How many programs should I apply to?
Why would you want to practice medicine in America over Europe?
Jordan Keith for one, the pay is much better. General physicians only earn an average salary of about £70,000 here (UK), while the US counterpart can be over 3 times as much.
Im from Bangladesh. i want to be a doctor..and this video answered all of my questions that i was having....thank you.
I will do my best, thank you for the video!
A question I have is: which one of those characteristics you talked about to do you notice doctors lacking the most?
It may then be a great way to assess where future generations of doctors need to improve.
Nearing the end of my 3rd year of medical school and I don't think that it can be overstated how important Resiliency and Adaptability are. I have found that my key to unlocking those traits is positive attitude. Throughout your education you will have lots of tasks that can seem meaningless (and yes, especially medical school years, I've heard undergrads spout fallacies about not having "busy work" or "uninteresting material" once you finally make it to medical school, that just isn't true), your ability to have a good attitude, live in the moment, and make the most out of even the most seemingly useless tasks will decide the level of bitterness you will take with you into your future medical practice. Best of luck to all, no matter where you're at in your journey!
I got my boost of feelings after watching this. Will work hard to get that md.
Get it!
I clicked on this video because I just got excepted into a university to study premed my major is neuroscience and while that really hit home I also have ulcerative colitis and my goal is to become a doctor and help others but wow that’s awesome I feel that really is a sign from God for me to become a doctor hearing stories of others who despite ulcerative colitis and Crohn’s became a doctor trillion inspiration thank you so much for sharing
Here in India it’s different, you go straight for Bachelors in medicine after class 12
Thats 5.5 years and Masters would be 3 years.
My dad is a Surgeon, and he told me I would be a great doctor, and that was coming from him! Who always nag about everything I do!
Today, I cried outside of our student union because I'm having trouble with the simple concept of "hypotheses" and how to spot them in "if, then" statements. Honestly, I felt really ridiculous about it, so much so that I went thinking that maybe medicine isn't for me over some small piece of the scientific theory. But I've been doing this crazy undergrad journey for ten years - with so many bumps along the way that kept me from finishing.
I didn't know what I was doing my first year. I lost people my second year. I took a break for years. I went back, then there wasn't any money and two years from that point, I'm almost starting over, but, I know that I can do this. It's been years since high school - of course I'm going to be confused - just have to keep going. I know I'll be a great doctor, this video didn't need to tell me that, but it did reinforce that that was going to be true. So, thank you, Dr. Jubbal. I appreciate it.
