Taking a break from your normal daily routine is important. It gives you a chance to reset mentally and physically. I think this is especially important as a resident doctor. We can often get so caught up in the daily work and forget to allow ourself to enjoy life outside of medicine. So in this vlog I decided to step outside of my comfort zone and take a trip somewhere completely different than I have ever gone before... Alaska!

Work hard. Play harder. Do fun things. That’s the motto 🙌🏻 definitely enjoyed a much needed break from working and studying so much lately. What fun things are you all planning this year?
Needing a trip to alaska hard now!!
@DaHarve10/10 I highly recommend
I agree...life is way too short to stay in the comfort zone. I plan on being in better shape...and Im doing a 4k walk in May and maybe a 5K run sometime in the Fall
That’s awesome, I’m glad you had fun!! And enjoyed it, you have nice feet at 13:05 , my fun things I’m doing is donating to the anesthesiologist Foundation again in August, I donated on new year, I’m also going test drive the new BMW that’s coming out in the fall, I’m gonna get my all electric car and let other people drive it for me
I may need to do a 4th year rotation up there. It looks beautiful!
Great and informative video
You've come such a long way since I first watched your 1st year medical school vlog.....you will be a great well-rounded physician!
Thank you so much! That means a lot!
It was fun hosting you! Come back and experience the midnight sun this summer!
Thank you so much again 🙏🏻 I had so much fun!! I definitely wanna come back during summer!!
Hey, that's me :)
The man, the myth, the legend 🔥 thanks for everything bro
This is the time to explore the world. You work hard and you deserve some fun too.

That seems like it was the PERFECT trip!!
It was much needed!
This vlog really shows how to balance work n life. LOVED IT.
Great video with amazing scenery of the mountains! Congrats on the pto and a well deserved break! I hope you had a great time in Alaska!
It was exactly what I needed! 😊
It's nice to see that you are living and enjoying your life and able to do so as none of us know how long we have or what the next hurdle will be. I am enjoying see you have your adventures in good health as I am not currently in a healthy (Vtack & CHF) state and in my '70's hoping to be able to get back to a healthy state so that I can do things myself again.
Thank you so much, and I’m sorry to hear about your health problems. Hopefully you can get them under control and continue to have your own adventures 🙌🏻
Alaska is beautiful! A refreshing change from the desert!
Such a fun adventure!!
What a awesome vid! Alaska’s always been on my bucket list 💯
I hope you get to go someday!
Great video! Loved your time in Alaska..
I’m so glad you enjoyed it! 😊
Keep going! Even though the views may me down, we need your vids!
Appreciate that, I’m trying my best!
Beautiful scenery! Everything looks so fresh and clean with so much snow. Glad you were able to experience that! Back to the grind!
Love your videos as always, Shaun!!!!! ❤❤❤
Thank you so much! I appreciate you watching! 😄
Work hard, play harder, do fun things! 💯 Alaska looks so awesome!! ❄️
The way you look at your friend Daniel when he says, "You're taking off on this one". 😄
That's the coolest adventure! Epic to say the least 🎉
I was nervous but I knew Daniel was confident in his abilities as a pilot soooo I was down for it 🫡🤣
Alaska is beautiful, one of my favorite places to visit.
I absolutely loved it!
The palmer ale house is my fav place to eat gotta go there at least once a month! Glad you loved what our small town has to offer.
Well deserved time off!! Enjoy
Thank you!! :)
Let’s go Shaun!
🥳🥳🥳
Good for u to enjoy your time u always need to have some peace and fun things to do.
It was definitely much needed! 😊
Wow so beautiful! So glad you had a nice little break!
It was soooo beautiful out there :)
Wow...Dr. Shaun...first of all- what a great place to break up the monotony of residency than to visit the " Last Frontier" of the US! Stunning! Look at you snowboarding!!! Just like tricking :) Great to see you relax!!! Thanks for sharing!
Wow, what a view to wake up to in Alaska ! What an awesome trip. Enjoy your time off !👍🏻
Alaska is incredible! 🤩 definitely recommend visiting
Shaun this was so cool!! I feel like I went with you. LOLOL!! You should do more of these. Great content!💯
I’d love to if I had more time off to travel!! :p haha thank you!
I know that polar bear at the Alaska airport from a travel nurse contract! You're so wild Dr. Shaun! Love it! 😂😊😅
Haha that bear was so cool! 😂
Wow, Alaska is beautiful, l am from Africa and have never seen such a place 😅 😮 thank you, and have a great week
I hope you get to visit sometime! 😊

OMG, first for the first time ever!! Hi from Seattle, Shaun!
Early gang!!! My layover was in Seattle :p
@@ShaunAndersen You are the 1st this time. But I shall get my record back. Also I'm Shaun's favorite subscriber no matter what. Right Shaun ;)
@@r.m.7138everyone in the early gang are my favorites 👀
Great video Shaun. ! Too cold for me lol
It was freezing but so worth it!
I can’t believe you flew a plane! So cool 🙌🏻🙌🏻
Hi Shaun!
This was such a fun video to watch! The scenery is so beautiful and you did an incredible job editing.
I’m so happy to see you had a great time. You truly deserve it. It is amazing to see how an individual can have a passion for medicine, but not have their life revolve around it. I know that is a trait that will continue to serve your patients well.
Hope you have a great week ahead! Your rock :)
0:47 Omg your boyfriend dropping you off was the cutest 🥲🥲
That's not his boyfriend that's his brother !
That’s my brother lmaoooo😂😂😂
😂😂😂
I live in Anchorage Alaska. Welcome 💪🏻
Such a cool city! :)
I was literally thinking about when you were going to post a vid and the video appeared!
hahaha you manifested it :p
Click bait is normal Don't feel bad over all that was a refreshing vlog I really enjoyed it thanks Shaun
Mans was shredding!!! 💯.
🏂🏂🏂
@@ShaunAndersen wish me luck Doctor!!! I have a med school interview coming up. 😁
when i read your title it wasn't clickbait to me because i knew you did "leave" residency i'm glad you were able to get away
Thank you 🙏🏻
BRILLIANT!
Thanks John!!
Hey shaun!
Right on time
Been thinking about your vlogs.
I even went and turned on my other device to comment here because uhh idk..
Anyway, have fun! You’re doing great.
I know you know what you’re doing ❤️
Perfect timing :) hope you enjoyed! & I never know what I’m doing haha I just hope I’m doing the right things
Looked like fun! I still can't believe you've been working almost non-stop for over half a year now and this is one of the first times you actually got to go somewhere and actually unwind and relax. And that flight looked so scary on that plane lol. I also can't believe you don't need a license to fly that thing lol.
If leaving residency makes you happy, then I’m glad you did it. Not good to pursue a carrer that you won’t like. Better to leave now rather than putting more time into it and leaving a year from now, or worse…even later. I wish you the best in your future endeavors.
Have a great time
Thank you!! :)
He is so fine
🫣
I understand what u mean about the burnout yeah u need to recharge ur spirit I’m doing the same after studying for months
It’s amazing what a little time off can do for you!
Great vid! When's the first anesthesia rotation?
July I think!
Hello! I wanna be doctor like you so i started watching your videos. And im surprised that u went to Alaska! Its a really interesting place that i wanna go here and do activities like skiing or something like that. Anyways great video as always, i already liked it before watching!
Alaska is incredible! You should definitely try to visit if you can! :)
THIS IS SO COOL! Early!!
Woohoooo!!! 🎉🎉
Happy for you but I'm not going to lie, I was worried (very) about that yellow plane. Glad all is safe. You deserved your PTO and you did it big!
It was spooky but I had a very experienced pilot!
Hi Shaun . The trip looked so fun 😊 you're doing things right . Enjoy life. We only have one . I would love to leave in Alaska , I love the snow ❄️ and cold. Now that you're back, which weather do you prefer, the cold or warm climate. I hope you done really well on step 3. I'm sure you did 😊
Never been this early ever. Absolute madness
Early gang is the best gang 🎉🎉🎉
Its been my dream for 10 years now to make it to Alaska.. def jealous!
YOU WERE WITH DANIEL ILES 😮 IVE BEEN WATCHING HIM FOR 5 YEARS ❤❤❤
Yo no way that’s crazy! He’s such a cool guy!
Great video! I guess you passed Step 3, right? congrats!!!!!!
Spoiler: I did :) thank you!!
im in xray school and when im on break between semesters it feels so damn odd not studying for a whole month or so and I feel so strange with my new found free time lol I start to get anxiety and start to make myself study but my adhd will not let me. Its a very strange feeling to say the least lol
I totally feel that! Happened to me all the time during my breaks in med school and undergrad 🥲
Thank you for posting this. It was so inspiring to me. I’m a Doctor in Mexico and this remember me why I’m doing all the process to be a Doctor somewhere else. Besides you are so fun to watch, and the landscapes were incredible amazing.
Rock on. I lived in Mexico for 8 years. You docs in Mexico need to charge more money. You're worth it! (I'm a RN)
Love the well rounded perspective about the work-life balance :) Just out of curiosity, do you plan to do fellowship in anesthesiology? I know this might be a question too early in the journey but just curious how one should prepare?
I haven’t decided yet, but if I do it would probably be for critical care! :)
Great and unexpected video 😅❤
I'd love to move to Alaska! I love the cold, nature, and mountains! Glad you had a good time! Also, Have you ever thought of doing cameos? You'd make extra money during residency! I'd definitely pay for one!
It was incredible! And no I haven’t thought about it :o honestly I didn’t think there would be any interest it!
Just a ques, do u think an if an IMG can take orthopedic surgery as Residency. Or we have be a graduate from the US. Basically how hard is it?Thanks! ❤
Damn!! Why u gotta leave us hanging like that on the scores!!! Lol I really love your outlook on prioritizing experiences. I agree 100% i dont care about spending $ on experiences for me or my family. Thats all we have left frm our loved ones when they leave this earth. Anyway i loved this vlog soo cool! Its my dream to go to alaska it looks so beautiful
Thanks so much! I agree it’s all about experience 😊 you should def try to take a trip out there!
I’m glad you had fun and enjoyed it! You have nice feet at 13:05 I’m glad you passed your board exams!! That’s what’s up!!!
Thanks bro haha 🤣
@@ShaunAndersen you welcome 😂
Hey Shaun, I have a bit of a random question for you-I'm just curious. You might have mentioned this in a previous vlog, but when you vlog, do you use your everyday phone, or do you have a separate device specifically for filming? By the way, great video! Keep up the awesome work!
I use my phone! It’s so easy to just point and shoot! :)
Who was the person who hugged you goodbye leaving Vegas
My brother!
@@ShaunAndersen that's what I thought has he been in any video's?
Today is -3c In Poland ❄️⛄️❄️
Looks like the house that the Shahs of sunset stayed at
I was just exactly where you were in that airport brother crazy world
Yo no way small world :O
I haven’t seen any is Sean’s vids since he was in MS1. Did he and Abby break up? Is Megan his new gf?
The scenery in Alaska is beautiful. I'm glad you shared it with us out here in youtube land. I bet your doggies were happy to see you when you got home. I'm keeping my parents' dog while they are cruising to Antarctica, and she's asleep on my lap right now.
Aww so cute! They were very excited when I got home haha dogs are the best
Which marathon are you doing in April?
Revel at Mount Charleston!
@@ShaunAndersen Good luck. Happy running.😀
Glad you are enjoying your self! Im in North Dakota and its been -40 in some parts! I needed this video. I have 230 hours of PTO.
If you have any interest in collaboration I work for a hospital and im in the Electronics Department
I wish I was in Alaska. Boring in North Carolina.
Book the ticket 👀
Nooooo chip and chewy stayed home😢
It’s okay they had my brother and mom 🥹
😍😍😍
🥳🥳🥳
dream! early gang!
What’s up early ganggg!! :)
Skiing in Alaska (if it’s a job) got be harder than residency in California, right? 😂😂
Hahahaha I’d say so! :p
Btw shaun, i was legit considering not becoming a doc , because of the whole work life balance thing. Idk tho , i really want to be a doctor and even so research sometime later . But the whole not having enough time for yourself and your loved ones is a huge negative.
I can definitely understand that, but one of the points of this vlog is to show you can balance both! :)
@ yes , your vlogs are the reason why I haven’t completely let go of the dream :)
Shaun, are you vegan? Just curious cause you ordered your latte with oat milk
I’m not vegan but I tend to get more acne when I drink regular milk so I try to replace with oat milk whenever I can haha
hey
Hi!
Nice
Sorry this is unrelated to this video, and please feel free to ignore if it is too personal, but was the idea of taking out hundreds of thousands of dollars in student loans ever daunting to you?
I’m fortunate to not have needed to take out loans, but it’s definitely a daunting decision for hundreds of thousands of students. But if it’s truly the career you want, I’d say it’s worth it
oh click bait title!
Had to :( views are going downnnn haha
Do you read comments🤔?
Every single one!
Early gang! 2nd!
Yooooo🎉🎉🎉
hello doctor , missing your hair style .
Haha maybe I’ll change it back!
nice vlog -5 its not that cold
-5 is cold enough to make me cry!🤣
It was so cold 😫😫
@@ShaunAndersen What’s the coldest it gets in Las Vegas?
clickbait title
I knooooow :(
