I Studied 8 Languages During Medical School [w/ subtitles]
Просмотров 16 тыс.5 лет назад
I love languages. I spent that last few years trying to fit language learning into my schedule, which was not easy. I don't consider that I speak 8 languages, but I have studied all of them to some extent in the past few years. The level of proficiency needed to conduct a thorough medical assessment in a language is very high, which I would only be comfortable doing in English or French. Also, ...
How Much Money Do Resident Doctors Earn? Is it Worth the Hours?

Hey everyone, I wanted to talk about a sensitive topic in an objective way, because there's a lot of misinformation around resident physicians' pay, hours and working conditions. All of the information about salary and benefits can be found publicly at: www.carms.ca/match/r-1-main-residency-match/salary/ I understand that I am making generalizations, and that I might grossly under/overestimate ...

But I think that means every minute of sleep should be a great one! Here are the 5 tips I talk about, and some links: 1. Know your sleep 2. Drink a lot of water when waking up, and throughout the day 3. Sleep in complete darkness al...

Thank you. I have pneumonia and tasted blood for the first time this morning. I am on antibiotics at home. I had x-rays and it is an atelectasis. Should I go to the ER? I'm 57 and do not smoke but extremely allergic to man-made chemical fragrances and cleaners.
Are these books good for beginners???
what if my collarbone broke through my ribcage and punctured my lung is it totally fixed, am alright to still smoke weed every now and then?
You don't need camera if you have iPhone!
Thank you for sharing your knowledge on this issue. If anyone expects you might have this please DO NOT wait to go Emergency Room because 30 minutes can mean a difference whether you live or die. God bless you and keep you safe always Aloha
If fumbled the bag was a person 👆🏼

"I'll see you guys in the next one". soooo....
A little more details like number of rows would be nice. However I like your owl. So I’ll figure it out.
Hi Dr. Pham: I am not sure whether you still check these comments. I came across your video after choosing also to leave my general surgery program. I left for similar reasons. I would love to connect. I start as a PGY-1 in IM in July at a different institution.
Wonderful, thanks a lot ❤
The middle part of my right lung has collapsed. Can it be re-inflted ?
thank you very much, i'm building one myself, this gives me alot of great ideas. Best wishes for you.
I just come a cross your video and wondering how FM going with you? Especially with that huge difference between the two specialty
Fmc student 👩🎓
It's eternity in there
if you think about it, there are many things in life you can enjoy, do, and grow outside of surgical life.
Thank you 😊 great explanation
شكرا جزيلا
I got the crock bistro slip resistant shoes the checker boards one from Zappos
Great job, i had this did to me well explained..
I think family medicine is your spot. My girlfriend saw you during the last months for a work leave and loved how good of a listener you were. Keep it up! 🙂
Have u done any fellowships ?
I recently realised i didn't want any surgical branch ever . And to think that i was going to opt for obgyn in my residency just because i am getting it and everyone is telling me to ..i think i was gonna make the biggest mistake of my life. Surgical branches do shine brighter than medical branches..but not everyone is chasing the "highs".. some ppl like myself like it when its peaceful. And i am not going to be ashamed of it.
Once lung is fixed will removing that machine cause any damage to the lung? Or do you have to have that machine forever?
That was useful thx
Thanks. How does it work when you have fluid in your lung because of lungcancer? What will the drain look like thatcthey can install? Can you still swim / have a bath?
Hi good morning doctor I am general surgery and I fellowship a neurosurgeon how many years a fellow of neurosurgeon.
Best, clearest video i have seen on this. Thank you!
As a PGY-2 FM resident, I am finding so much opportunities for my career. From outpatient clinic, hospital medicine, sports medicine, emergency medicine, OB, etc…there’s so many pathways to take with our specialty. There are still quite rigorous and brutal rotations within the program where you have to take call every 4th day as well…or do night shift for 2 weeks in a row and only 1 day off, but you eventually get small breaks in between with rotations that allow weekends off and regular day shift hours. I applaud your openness about your decision. Thanks for sharing your story.
family medicine is shit speciality
@@loyal4theway159why
add politics to medicine. while i was a resident in nyc some decades ago spoke with gen surgery residents in prestigious nyc hospitals. not uncommon to do an additional 6th year even after completing the 5 year program duration. this 6th year was done at a residents salary though functioning as an attending. doing this made for smooth sailing to gain admitting privileges at said hospital. akin to extortion.
Can you show me what suture I can expect / is best for when I get my direct eye brow lift (one eye only) - Thank you. 😮
Hey Don, How is it going ?
Can 63 years old lungs expland after vats surgery ??
Inspiring
As a pediatric surgeon and educator I want to thank you for sharing your message, this is a subject we don’t talk about and we should. Asking these questions…”what is important in life?” “What do I want to do with my free time?” You have a healthy mindset, good luck!
HI. so proud of you. just wondering why not internal medicine?
Your suture video was great and I found it the most useful as I was searching for tutorials on how to suture. Thank you for the content and education you have provided. I wish you well in your family practice residency, it sounds like you will be an amazing primary care physician!
Would love to hear about your experience in family med residency!
Hi 👋, sorry, do you have the link for to buy the kit pad for suture? Thanks 👍😀
Send me some of this matériel to algeria
Medicine in America is a racket. My advice to young people is to NOT choose a career in medicine. If one has enough ability to get into medical school, then one without question has more than sufficient talent to excel in law, business and or tech, career paths that involve more pay, reduced debt and less subjugation. Physicians today are nothing more than slave vassals to healthcare corporate executives and their ravenous shareholders. Just say no to medicine.
good vid, i had tube for a week after right lower lobe removal. not fun at all, doc suspected i had leak still hence longer time but i think i just had tidalling. what i do wonder is when they pull the tube out, how do the holes seal up
It's amazing how young dude is and where he's at in his career. Book smarts beyond belief.
you stopped doing videos, are you ok?
Hey Don, just wanted to say your videos are awesome and I loved watching your journey through it all! How's everything going on the family medicine side? Do you plan on returning to RUclips at some point?
Do podiatrist have to do surgery during and after residency? I know a 1st year residency woman who cheated in her DPM courses, someone else wrote her posters and publications and has neither manual dexterity nor intellect or love for medicine. What is her chance of getting away with it?
Its been two years, I Hope You’re doing well
What anesthesia would you use? Lidocaine? Thank you for a very informative video!
