- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 7 ก.พ. 2025
- This is the morning routine I followed back when I was in plastic surgery residency. It's quite similar to my morning routine in medical school. Next week I'll cover my current morning routine on Anatomy of a Morning Routine - Entrepreneur Edition!

How long it take to become an affiliate with MedSchoolInsider? I applied a while ago and been waiting for a "yes" or "no" ever since lol
You may have to extend the offer because many countries are in lock down mode during the time of offer !
What kind of doctor are you
Rubbish and everyone life is individualized. Mechanized life poor guy! Free yourself and be spontaneous
Videos like these make me feel like I’m failing at life
If you gotta ask that question, you probably are
Hak Težak he didn’t ask a question
As long as you are happy and estable you are good. Not everybody needs to be machines.
You only fail if You're not reaching Your goals. And that's not failing life, just goals. Careful to exaggerate!
you gotta keep in mind that these videos describe perfectly established and maintained routines.... basically, no human can do this for a lifetime or a fraction of it. I bet he mess up on 3/7 days.
Remember life is perfect, if you're a Disney character.
The combination of journaling and meditation is powerful! Insight Timer is clutch. I've been using it for awhile now. Journaling is great because it lets you frame your day on your terms and brings focus (grounds yourself). I make sure not to check emails or social media before finishing my morning routine (helps to be more proactive rather than reactive).
Gotta invest in one of those lights to wake up, my alarm scares the shit out of me; especially early.
So worth it
We really need a video on improving surgical dexterity, please make it happen
Sam Jabe YES
Mad respect...I do most of these, but can't yet combine them every day in a routine!
I work in maxillo-facial surgery in Belgium, where you need both a medical and a dental degree. Would be interested to see a 'day in the life' of that speciality in the US !
i like Belgium especially from In Bruges film 😂😁
I'm a bio med engineer and I watched your video and had instant respect when I found out you cycle commute. I'm in Canada and moved from my parents place in the country to the city 27 years ago and have been cycling commuting year around ever since. Spring, summer, fall, and winter. I ride 208 km a week commuting so no workouts, no training. Best thing I ever did was cycle commuting. You can't put a number on the health benefit of cycle commuting.
Please make “day in the life of ENT resident/surgeon”. Curious about it
Gonna have to be after COVID-19
@@kevinjubbalmd Now that might be quite a long time.....
Awesome! Admire the discipline. I’m glad ophtho doesn’t have to wake up at 4am though :) congrats on 100k
Dr. Jubbal/MSI just....always, always helps to keep me going and being motivated and productive on the road to getting that M.D. at the end of my name. Thank you so much, Dr. Jubbal
I just realised this is the Med School insiders guy xd
👋🏼
Oh yes!
thank you so much for this exercise with a small ball, I just tried and it is perfect for my back, I study medicine too and we sit a lot while learning and this exercise is perfect to relax back muscles
Appreciated the insight into the routine, will look into the stretching and meditation.
It would be fun to see a morning routine of an attending physician, a young children, a partner, house, pets, etc.
LMAOOOO, Like i said during the livestream... only person who perused a career in medicine and still has a sense of humor😂😂🤦🏽♂️ “squatty potty” “dropping off the kids” 😂😂😂
I really look up to you man. You're the best!
Working in the heath system now isn’t just a big motivator to get to the goal I have of being a physician but man! Your videos help as well!
For a second I stupidly thought the intro timestamps are actual time and he wakes up at 00:12...
Same.
This is the type of content I need! Thank brother!
This So weird. I want to go into surgery too, and literally last night I was wondering what i could do now ( in my undergrad years) to develop the kind of dexterity and discipline that successful surgeons have. Then this morning your video popped up. UM CRAZY!
Good luck!
Hey, I am nearly a Physician in Germany and I am curious about you guys putting your scrubs on at home and going to work wearing them. Isn't that quite unhygienic?
I think they change again when they arrive at the hospital
Oh yeaaa
@@youtubeoverthinking5827 they have sterile scrubs that they put on as they enter the operating room. Also, many surgeons get to use the hospital laundry which basically washes super well.
This was amazing! Thank you Kevin ♥️
Commenting for the TH-cam algorithm
my man!
hello dude
'The Quarantine Beard'
AND: When is the bromance podcast coming out? It would be perfect to drop it now during quarantine times.
Ur videos are the best !
U r osm .. felt more positive after seeing ur video
Mashalah.
You’re well organized. Very in love with this routine.
Oh My God! I am so excited to watch this video! I've been trying to set up a routine as well,and I wished you would tell us about yours, and then you uploaded this! Thank you so much!
This is really an intense routine , if i dont get enough sleep I'll look and feel like a goast 🤯 but it is my dream perfect routine 😅
Also a free stretch routine!
awesome video, as always!
congrats on 100k !!!
Anyone who uses a sqautty potty is an absolute genius I love the sqautty potty it really helps to get the inner chocolate soft serve come out this video is inspirational 1:12
Rose, for those who want to save a couple bucks you can just use a milk crate. I personally use a milk crate and it is the same exact thing as a squatty potty saving me 50 bucks
what time did you go to sleep if you had to wake up at 4am?
Usually he says 9:00pm he shuts off the phone, but picks up a book for 30 minutes of reading.
So I guess he sleeps at 9:30pm
I wake up at 5 and I go to sleep at 10
omfg at the very beginning i thought the time stamps were actual times, and i was like, “who gets up 12 minutes after midnight???”
Me too 🤕
i learned so much from your video
You should do a "Forbes-relentless" video of a neurosurgeons daily routine sometime.
What do you think about the fact that US doctors usually wear scrubs out of the hospital? Don't you think it can lead to even easier spreading of antibiotic resistance out of hospitals?
I would fall asleep during meditation
Understandable concern
yay plant-based protein! nice surprise
What a dream lifestyle
What time do you sleep to be able to wake up at 4plus minus 30 minutes? Do you get enough of well rested sleep that you need to do your work later on as a doctor ? Medical student here
Just Commenting for the algorithm 😃
I love your videos
thanx doc 😉
What a beast
Of course had to cop the squatty potty. Want my puborectal sling to work like a dream
Wow 100k.... congrats
Thanks! 😃
What other meals did you eat during residency? What were your hours like? Thanks
Really interesting and well delivered. How do you manage your IBD? If you dont mind sharing this could be a really interesting, useful health vlog.
Sir the poses you do are called surya namaskara which is called in india But there are more moves than these
Luv that
Recently I can't wake up early so I can't' do anything well during the day. I don't know why💔
I can’t quite articulate it exactly, but these videos mainly make feel like medicine is too hard for me. I love science, helping others, and I find the leadership aspect appealing but this level of micromanagement for every moment seems like too much. Maybe I don’t have a realistic notion of what real medicine entails or demands from its students.
This is only for very demanding specialty rotations/residencies
Just take it one day at a time.
Thank you so so much for this. Can I ask... how long were you able to sustain this type of daily routine in residency and med school? And did you have any days off in terms of leisure time? Thank you. 😊😊
Meditation is the one thing I would give up when really crunched for time. Still did it >50% of days. Everything else I did very consistently
What's that journaling layout on your phone ? Is it an app? Awesome content by the way ! Already a fan !
Day one app with custom template
Kevin Jubbal, M.D. Thankyou so much. If I needed advice for my step1 in a few weeks, can I message you on Insta and ask about my study method ?
Kevin Jubbal, M.D. Also I have that app , but I haven't used it in ages . I wonder why ! I will get back to it . Will you ever make a video on your journaling template? 🙈
Already have one. Called 3 new year resolutions
Kevin Jubbal, M.D. I couldn't find it!
Can you make a video describing your different revenue streams?
Maybe
Oh hell no waking up at 4am why is everything so brutal in becoming a doctor??
I’m a 2nd year right now 😿
It's not as bad as it sounds
@@kevinjubbalmd mhm
Hey..
Can u please elaborate more on how to develop the hand-eye
co-ordination skills and dexterity that a surgeon needs?
I am about to choose ob-gyn as my branch and would like to be more prepared.
I don't wanna be behind in my surgical skills.
When is A day in the life of a neurosurgeon being released?
Bro don’t sleep on anesthesia no pun intended. But would really like to see a lot more on anesthesia.
Can we get the full recipe for the meal replacement shake? How many cups of milk do you use?
hello Jubbal, after seeing you even i started wakign up at 4:45-5 :) i cant afford smart lights but i will try out to wake up a bit more early.What time do u sleep btw?
Black coffee and ice cream helps with the pain
Hey Dr. Jubbal, I'm a HUGE fan of your videos! I'm a medical student in the US and just started a med-school related TH-cam channel. It would mean the world to me if you let me know what you think! Thanks for the amazing work that you do
Do you wish you chose something like dermatology instead of plastics that possibly would have allowed you to continue being an entrepreneur and a physician?
Yes lifestyle would have been better in derm or anesthesia and I may have stayed, but I didn’t love either specialty as much as plastics
Did you shower at the hospital after biking?
Congratulations for the 100k
Just a question, are protein powder products healthy? They have a bad reputation eg. Contain steroids....etc
Ali Khalid protein powders are just a protein supplement and don’t contain steroids my man
You are superman
Nah bro I’m a regular dude that isn’t afraid to try hard, experiment, and fail
Quick question. I understand you were a resident during which this routine was in full effect. At what time did you usually go to sleep?
Usually 10-12 most days. Sometimes later if on call
do you work from home (even before coronavirus)?
Hey man if possible I'd like to have you on my channel for an interview. I've got 83,000 subscribers and I'm an after prison channel, but I've been talking about CORONAVIRUS in prison and it would be cool to have an actual doctor on
If you wake up at 4am what time do you sleep?
Can you make a video on maxillofacial surgeon sir???
Try playing the piano for manual dexterity!
I play bass :)
What do you do in journaling
I've seen almost all your videos and i am sure now to that you look like Woody from Toy Story 😄😄
Lol
If you biked to work, would you ever get sweaty? What would you doing you did?
I wanna do this
hey Kevin, wt time did u sleep to wake up that early??
In residency, usually around 10PM-12AM. Not ideal but again I was building 2 businesses. You should get more sleep, as I do now.
@@kevinjubbalmd i am preparing for step 2 now at home quarantine..so probably that much sleep is not sufficient..and your contents are always inspiring. Thanks Man. :)
So did Kevin quit medical residency? Is he practicing as a doctor now or what? Kinda confused on what he's doing now. Can someone please explain?
How many miles was the commute?
Pretty short. Like 1.5 miles
Foreshadowing that sciatic like pain (if thats even possible, but yes very quickly my feet are becoming numb), best place to order a squatty potty? (UK)
Sir I'm medical students please guide me.,
How to focus on my goal.....? And improve memories
What an icon
which app you use for meditation??
dropping off the kids haha
Could you share which rechargeable bike lights those are?
Link in description! Cat Eye front and rear
Kevin Jubbal, M.D. hmm... don’t know how I missed it- efficiency at its finest 😂
How do you effectively stretch your pecs/chest and how long do you typically hold the listed stretches for?
Thanks for the Q. Will include in the next morning routine video
Umm....Intense
Doesn't feel that intense tbh
I know this is unrelated but on mdi could you do "so you want to be a dermatologist or ob/gyn"
What's your favorites meditation prg in the app?
I like Tara Brachs guided meditations
Hey Kevin can you give me advice because you're inspirational , so I want to be a airline pilot and I thinking about getting my degree in aeronautics. What you think? Thx
You should talk to a pilot I have no idea
If you’re getting a degree in aeronautical engineering you’d be making more money doing that then being a pilot
Bro what camera do you use?
a6400. Kit in description
Why do you use a “squatty potty”?
I take my pooping very seriously
Kevin Jubbal, M.D. 😂 fair enough. I’ve literally never heard of it but I’ve since googled it and the benefits
How did you avoid showing up to your rotations sweaty from biking there daily? Lol sounds like a joke but im being dead serious😬
Bike ride was 7.5 minutes door to door. Mornings were cool too. Could always change scrubs at hospital with scrub machine
Kevin Jubbal, M.D. awesome, thank you for sharing!!🙌 planning to do this in med school, hopefully works out
I’m confused so are you not a practice physician?
No. I made a video on my decision to quit plastic surgery
Why do you recommend using a squatty potty? Does it help stimulate bowel movement? I have trouble dropping off the kids in the morning right after waking up, so I'm looking for tips haha
Your bicycle link please
2012 Specialized Allez and a 2013 Giant Bowery (bought used on Craigslist)
Sound gone?
Great video. However I was realled surprised by something. Did you ride your bike with hospital clothes in the public? It seems very unhygienic if you wear it at wards rounds. Maybe the hygiene standards are just better in Denmark. Uniforms are provided at the hospital and you leave it for washing every day. Best regards from a Danish Clinical Oncologist
