Sky TrexZ Tell that to my slain brothers and sisters oh that’s right you can’t because they’re dead. Speak for yourself just because you don’t experience it doesn’t mean that others don’t. I’m not going to go back and forth with you. If you honestly believe that a black child is given the same opportunities as a white child then this convo isn’t worth having.
I love neurosurgeons saved my life for sure. I got a "rare" ependymoma tumor at the age of 12. That was found because I had caused it to bleed as it was inside of my spine along with being in-between the vertebrae. It was woven around my spinal cord particularly my sciatic nerve. It was a risky procedure due to the odds of losing the movement in my legs, however, I had no choice as I was passing out and throwing up constantly as a result of the pain. The team ended up getting all the tumor out and though I had to relearn how to walk I would say a tremendous success other than some minor nerve damage. On a plus side I gave em my tumor to study since it was rare and my family didn't pay a thing so thats gnarly lol. Im 22 now and forever grateful for medical professionals.
@@punu3675 It sucked honestly. Have you ever woken up and your arm was just completely asleep and you couldn't move it like you know how to but you cant do it. It was really frustrating I knee I could walk but my body wouldn't do it its like there was some disconnect between my brain going "okay balance like this and take a step now" and my body wasn't getting the signal no matter how hard I thought about it. It genuinely not trying to be like sad or anything but spiraled me at 12 into a really really dark place because I was so upset with myself and the fact I couldn't help myself. Hopefully that kind of answers your questions, any others I'm here to answer!
Yahya Alqahtani it’s great! Lots of options with different types of jobs from hospital work, to outpatient work, to urgent care, to telemedicine or locums. Good luck on your journey! :)
Hi Dr. Maire. I am in grade 11 and want to be a family doctor. Do you suggest I take physics, biology and chemistry? Or can I just take biology and chemistry? Thanks! Ameer
My mentor (a prior neurosurgeon who is now working in the labs to cure cancer) told me a lot of egotism and malignancy exists in residencies. The part that really stood out to me is when he said "We have to be the change." It seems like this doctor here is a great example of being the change. Hope to meet him one day.
I mean, just someone with high narcissism and psychoticism can handle the stress and knowledge that this field requires, there you have your answer, really you want a doctor with this, because he don't be nervous in the operation and want will be perfect 😂😂
Anyone can do it, and it starts with belief in yourself! Don't forget to support and uplift your friends and peers along the way y'all - we are stronger together.
Hi Dr.Boah! It’s so nice to see a Ghanaian making it in medicine! You’re truly inspiring and your encouragement is greatly appreciated! 🇬🇭 🇺🇸 Thank you Dr.Webb for sharing this!
I’m a Cuban neurosurgeon, came to US 5 years ago after practice as attended for 5 years. Here in US I decided to dont do the medical board, because family practice and internal medicine is the only specialty that I can apply. I love neurosurgery, it is my passion. Reason why I decided to become in nurse practitioner, that way I can stay in the neurosurgical field and use my knowledge. It has been a great challenge. Thank for your videos
@@JayC-xh5yv I can’t. I need to have done USMLE board and then apply to redone my residency. There is a lot down side. At the end system is just offering me PCP or internal medicine. Reason why I decided to become in a nurse practitioner in neurosurgery. That way I can stay in the field. Thank for ask
He literally only had just introduced himself and I immediately respected him. Dang! I want to sit with him and pick his brain. (No pun intended.) He seems so down to earth!
I may not be black (Latino instead), but he spoke to me directly. I will take a gap year next year to work on my MCAT and gain experience to pursue that dream.
Inspiring, I'm an electrical engineering student but I always loved medicine and thought it wasn't for me, it all changed when I had covid, was hospitalized and I was treated poorly by the nurses and the second doctor that took care of my case, the way a white person wouldn't get treated, I was already bugged with that john oliver thing, it happens here in Brazil as well, but after my personal experience I decided I want to be a doctor and treat folks, especially those who overlooked, with dignity. Even before considering medicine I always loved watching neurosurgeries from this channel, from doctor farhad m limonadi, with lots of cool neurosurgery videos, and I'm thinking about following the neurosurgery path and as a black man myself, seeing you and doctor akwasi really inspires me and make me feel confident, this video spoke to me. RIght now, I'm studying for the test we have to take before applying to college, it would the brazillian equivalent to the MCAT. wish me luck.
Guys I need a fully history of a neurosurgeon that applies to 1. Lifestyle 2.house that he/she lives in 3. How does he or she spend time on their family and so on...
I think it’s important to remember everyone’s different, there’s no standard for a neurosurgeon’s lifestyle, there’s always steps you can take to have a more active or “better” family and home life - especially after residency. If you’re really that worried and not as passionate about neuro, perhaps it’s more ideal to look for a speciality that has a better work-life balance
Neurosurgery is not known to be a work life balance specialty. Expect to work 60+ hours a week. Lifestyle? Work. You need to love your work as neurosurgery is your life. House? Very big if you want but you will only have time to sleep in it. Wife and kids can enjoy the house. Family? The neurosurgeon i rotated with, his kids would visit him at work. I'm sure there are neurosurgeons with a more balanced life but it's not the norm
feels like youre thinking about money rather than how the lifestyle of being a doctor is. You need to be passionate about it even when you have bad days, remember you got people's life in your hand.
Thank you, Dr. Webb! You have done an amazing job of actually putting a face to the medical professionals who deal with our illnesses, and injuries. I think sometimes it would be easy for us to forget that physicians are also, husbands/wives, parents, siblings etc...
This is a great video with a terrific message. As a survivor of a TBI I lucked out having a great team of people to help me. I went back and thanked 1 of the surgeons. When I was a kid I wanted to be a doctor but became a musician instead but still love to watch procedures on You Tube. Especially like the Subdural Hematoma procedure I had done : )
I'd like to see you do a Navy Independent Duty Corpsman interview. Please use someone that can speak to their diverse practice experience. Not heavy on Military Operations or jargon, but speaking as a clinician. Focus on Schooling, Clinical experience, Sick Call screening, Typical Day seeing patients, Procedures, Relationships with other Providers/Mid-Levels.
So glad you're showing how diverse medicine really is. Plenty of different people, all with different stories. Really interesting to listen. Thank you. BTW congrats on finishing your fellowship!
@@jake9854 Yeah that's right, but you should have the opportunity to do it. If you don't have the ability to go to medical school, you wouldn't even apply. But how many doctors have we missed out on due to lack of opportunity?
This is really encouraging. I am a first year medical student and striving to be a future neurosurgeon. Thanks for sending us some encouragement Dr. Webb
Great words, my respects for every health care worker who love and feel passion for his/her profession!!! Requires so much dedication to spend nights and days of study to be standing there!!💪🏻
Much respect and support. To all health care worker and provider present and future..... it's a calling and a purpose to serve other. It's not just a job turn it into a habit but make it a lifestyle. Treat all people with dignity and respect but speak into them postive, encouraging, uplifting words. Small contributions make the biggest impact to those who need it.
A Neurosurgeon examines and diagnoses disorders of or injuries to the nervous system, and performs surgeries on the brain, spinal cord, and peripheral nerves to treat these conditions. The Neurosurgeon will remove tumors, relieve chronic pain, and correct deformities👍
@@loopje lmao, don't kid. kids nowadays be believing any fucking thing they see or hear. ain't nobody or robot REPLACING any doctor from any specialty, they might assist, but never replace fully.
im getting a sense of him sacrificing a part of himself to represent and wear that jacket to stand among the heros of society. you can call it success, but success doesn't come cheap.
YAY!!! Love to see diversity in medicine and sciences in general! Medicine is one of the few professions that is truly selfless. They get paid so much to do what they love that they can actually use that money to fund their own projects to help 3rd world countries, especially when getting funding is so difficult nowadays!
Wow. I’m at Howard med (undergrad at Spelman) and sometimes I feel like residencies like this are out of my league bc they’re so difficult to get into. I want to be a surgeon and I NEEDED to see this.
Everyone is equally intelligent and capable of success. The problem is that life gets in the way. Bad parents, no parents, shitty friends, no friends, ultimately some of these disadvantages can be overcome if you take the brave step to recognize bad influences and set them aside. Science is hard and only through thousands of hours of study with no distractions can you develop an understanding of our universe so advanced that you can manipulate the world around you. Hopefully for the benefit of humanity but we know this is not always the case.
I'm not from the States, I see from the comments there is a lot of smart people on deck here for you doc. I'd like to hear more about medical cases and some challenges operating in your field. Cheers
I just finished the neurology block for preclinic, it was crazy enough with all the tracts and nucleus and whatnot. Can't imagine what it's like being a neurosurgeon. would love to become one though :D Neuro's fun
Yes! True black excellence! I was just feeling down and depressed today wondering why it seems like I’m one of the only black people that cares about inspiring young blacks to pursue the sciences and shattering our stereotypes. Watching this video instantly made me feel better.
“Black men in white coats” sounds like the coolest tv action medical series. The reality is so much cooler! I love that this is a thing, that medicine is getting more diverse in every way! We need more doctors who are visual minorities because healthcare has historically been designed for white men. People of colour can have higher rates of specific conditions, women in general but specifically women of colour have it even worse. More of this. More wonderful people from diverse backgrounds in medicine ❤
Runescape Loots do you go online at all??? Man I can’t go on a video about kittens without people saying racist things. We don’t bring racism into things we simply point it out because it’s so prevalent.
Runescape Loots the person said “it’s probably” racism. I can’t turn on my damn PS4 without having anxiety about being called or seeing a racist name. I had to deal with racial slurs at a rotation I went on. We call it out because we can’t jog, go to a bank, sleep in our homes without racial encounters. The simplest things you take for granted, oozes with racism for us. So ask yourself this “if it bothers me this much to hear about the possibility of racisms existence on a post about a black doctor in a field where they only make up about 5-6%, I wonder how much it bothers them to actually have to deal with this stuff everyday?” Don’t discount racisms presence in a country founded on it, in a medium that fosters racism via anonymity and never tell us to not call its possibility out. If this sounds too stern, don’t take it personal. Just hear and be better for the black family
Felix man the school system is breeding racist idiots like a stupidity farm. We get it. You get to go through your day not thinking much about race. For us, it’s the exact opposite.
Do you have the entire video as Dr. Boah mentioned about the hearing the "Back notes and Key notes" speakers. If so, please post the entire video, your followers would enjoy seeing it. Thank you

“Black men in white coats” sounds like the coolest tv action medical series. The reality is so much cooler! I love that this is a thing, that medicine is getting more diverse in every way! We need more doctors who are visual minorities because healthcare has historically been designed for white men. People of colour can have higher rates of specific conditions, women in general but specifically women of colour have it even worse. More of this. More wonderful people from diverse backgrounds in medicine ❤
Many blessing to you, King!🙏🏾👑🔥
Being a neurosurgeon has always been my dream job
Would be interesting for him to elaborate on how he beat the odds and how he was able to grow a high degree of resiliency.
Why do two people (at this point) not like this - there are people who don't approve of neurosurgery?
😂

Runescape Loots do you go online at all??? Man I can’t go on a video about kittens without people saying racist things. We don’t bring racism into things we simply point it out because it’s so prevalent.
Runescape Loots the person said “it’s probably” racism. I can’t turn on my damn PS4 without having anxiety about being called or seeing a racist name. I had to deal with racial slurs at a rotation I went on. We call it out because we can’t jog, go to a bank, sleep in our homes without racial encounters. The simplest things you take for granted, oozes with racism for us. So ask yourself this “if it bothers me this much to hear about the possibility of racisms existence on a post about a black doctor in a field where they only make up about 5-6%, I wonder how much it bothers them to actually have to deal with this stuff everyday?” Don’t discount racisms presence in a country founded on it, in a medium that fosters racism via anonymity and never tell us to not call its possibility out. If this sounds too stern, don’t take it personal. Just hear and be better for the black family
Felix man the school system is breeding racist idiots like a stupidity farm. We get it. You get to go through your day not thinking much about race. For us, it’s the exact opposite.
I love SCIENCE, I love KNOWLEDGE
