DO NOT go to MEDICAL SCHOOL (If This is You)
DO NOT go to medical school if you identify with these 4 factors. Med school is a long and arduous journey. If you're going to become a doctor because your parents want you to, if you don't like working with people, if you aren't ready to commit to the hard work for years on end, or if medicine isn't your main focus, then reconsider your decision.

Med School Insiders 👋🏼... I’m all of these 4 and stuck in med school.. I’m doing final year now but having a really hard time.. wish I saw this 4 years ago...
I have a question, I want to be a Cardiovascular Surgeon when I grow up so do I go to med school after I have a bachelors degree in biology and if so you said medicine does that mean I have to learn about medicine in med school?
@@lemonade4918 you have to do undergrad and postgrad in cardio section
You sound like Mark Zuckerberg
I'm not all of these 4 list, buat i have a partial colour blind. Still i wanna ask can i join a medical school?
“if your dream doesnt scare you, its too small”
Thank you.. I needed to hear that
Wow. U motivated me✨. Thanks a lot sis😊
thank u so much for this
Scares me have so much questions like what if I don’t make it or have the money to pay for it do I take out a student loan ?
So true... This is why being a doctor scares me a lot
summary of the video 1. your family forced you to go into medicine 2. you’re impatient with people 3. you are unable to work hard 4. medicine isn’t your focus and passion
- fleur thx now i can click off 😌
THANKS
life saver 👍
thnks a LOT
Lol
Years later, when I was on the faculty of my old Med School one of my "duties" was to be on the Admissions committee. One of the very first questions I would ask the candidate was whether or not there were medical people in their families. If there were I always probed a little deeper and on occasion would discover your #1 reason not to be a Physician. Many of those candidates would express relief that they had been "found out" and the interview would shift its focus to what it was that the individual really wanted to do with their life. The one I remember most was a young man whose whole family were Physicians. Mother, Father, 2 Brothers and 1 Sister. Talk about pressure! Within a few minutes of the start of the interview It was pretty obvious that this guys heart was not into medicine. So I asked him point blank what it was that he really wanted to do. His answer... He wanted to be an Art Historian. So the rest of the interview was basically how to confront his parents with his decision and how he could best pursue his goal. Several months later I got a letter from this young man. He was enrolled in a Masters program in Art History at one of the better Universities on the East coast. His goal was to eventually get a PhD in the subject. I hope he made it.
You saved the guy . Good job
If only even 25% of interviewers were even remotely like you the world would be a better place. Most of them would pry and find out medicine wasn't their passion, then proceed to berate them for wasting their time. The superiority complex of some of these faculty members is just horrendous. Glad you were able to help that gentleman.
At the same time this type of question is classist. So many students who don’t have physicians in their family (first generation college, poor, disabled folks, etc) are discouraged from following this career…and often times they’re the ones who are most needed in this field instead of people who are disconnected from the realities of patients
Ive been threatened by patients, had them spit at me, been called unimaginable names and told they'd be "waiting outside for me" many times. After nearly 20 years of it, I'm done just accepting it. Professionalism is a must but patients ARE NOT customers. They are there to see us. Patient abuse and poor behavior can't be tolerated anymore.
Good on you for helping the young man out.
I cried while reading the comments. Thank you to those people who left those uplifting comments! I'm still in my 3rd year of pre-med and I am not doing so well. It's so hard to learn in an online setting. It was nice to see people saying that high grades do not determine a good clinician. Like I said, I am currently not doing well in my third year of pre-med, I almost failed 4 subjects last semester and now I feel that I'm about to fail another set of subjects. Just the thought that these schools that I plan to apply for med might think to why the heck would I even bother applying to med school with those grades. Let's also take into consideration how in my country grades are important and they treat you based on what your grades are. It really scares me.
Let me guess, you're also from Philippines, Aren't you?
May I ask what your sleeping routines are like? One of the biggest determiners of your success at school is how well you're maintaining your body's basic needs. Try to get between 7-8 hours of sleep every night, and drink many many bottles of water throughout the day. Reading comprehension goes down by a whopping 50% while you're even a little bit dehydrated, and drinking also improves alertness because it activates your metabolism, kick-starting movement within your body.
you are from Asia i guess right ,what like most about them is that they put education first in there life but they also take it too far 😊 good luck you will be fine

I'm in my final year of medschool and let me tell you, medicine doesn't need smart people. Don't do it because you're smart or were told you're smart. We need passionate and dedicated people, who always want what's best for their patients.
I’m only 18 and I really want to do medschool now and maybe become a physician, but I’m not smart at all and my memory is really not the best either. I don’t know if I should do it or not
@@Hailey-ui6ni Hey you got the same name as my twin. Also, sorry mate I can’t help ya I’m stuck with the same question. Best of luck to u though.
@@Hailey-ui6ni you can always put more time in your study and make it fun, memorable, with pictures drawings, mnemonics, and memory Palace and all sorts of things. Don't give up just because you think you don't have good memory. I belive memory is just a special muscle you have to train. (from a fresh graduated med student)
@@Hailey-ui6ni sometimes we think we can't do it and we are not good enough for it, but just do your very best💪 and one day we will just found ourselves nailing it. We think we can't do it, but we can absolutely smash it. Besides, you're still young (but I'm younger 🤭). We still have much time to learn and improve ourselves. We better start studying now. Try writing the things that we are not good at (ex: we sucks at writing a reflection about what you learn today, or maybe we sucks at remembering or writing an essay). Then we focus on how we can be better at those things. Create a plan about dealing with your weaknesses. Change your habit and routine. I personally believe that everybody can be smart, but we have to work really hard for it (unlike geniuses does LOL). But it's all depends on how much we badly want to be the best version of us. Motivate yourself and never loss that motivation. Keep trying to be better every single day. Today, we should be better than yesterday. We should learn something today. Today, we must do something that is worthwhile. What we are doing now should be something we can be proud of in the future. Imagine your future self saying, "thank you for working really hard" isn't it amazing?🤩 By the way, please excuse my grammar😅. English is not my first language. I'm still learning 👍
@@sheyuxu8619 i REALLY want to be a psychiatrist like im sooo passionate about it the top 2 things that are making me question is if i am even smart enough , and the rotations like general surgery and obgyn i am highly scared of blood an all that stuff . now i am starting to think i can never do my dream job ....
My biggest mistake in life was telling my parents I want to be a doctor when I was little. They're doing all they can to push me into medicine, but my dream is to be a professional barista and a mead brewer. I brought it up once and they scoffed. IDK if I should give up on this dream.
you should do whatever you want to do. its your life and no one else can dictate what you do with it. if they don't like it tell em to kick rocks
@@sariasong8111 I like that a lot.
I relate so much. A few years back when I was in high school, I decided that I wanted to pursue med school and preached it to everyone I knew. After 4 years, I feel completely different. I'm a different person and my heart says something else but I feel too guilty to explore other options as my parents are always motivating me for med school :/ At this point, I don't even know what I want.
can relate. did that. now i’m stuck as they are forcing me to become a doc.
Mine are forcing me A LOT to become a doctor But I will BE an engineer ln Sha Allah Don't give up on your dream. Sending love and prayers from Bangladesh
I was in a class that focused on Chemistry in my highschool, so entering a med school seemed to be an obvious route. Study hard to pass the exams to get in, then spend 7 years studying. The path was clear. Many of my seniors went that way. But I knew it wasn't for me. I lack the mental toughness to survive in med school. Even if somehow I manage to graduate, I won't be able to bear the stress of working as a doctor. I like jobs that allow me to have flexible hours of working and relaxing, and a mistake, albeit serious, won't kill anyone.
Exactly same with me..... pple just over rate this profession Like everything is perfect in it But all what we want is peace and contentment in our lives mostly
Same bro
That just goes to show how f** up the medical system is. If you basically need to be highly masochistic to go into it... there's something wrong with it. Not you.

thankyou! hope i get in this year ~
If you're like me, you're here because you _wanted_ to be a doctor, but you have since found a new career. So you watch this video to see what you're "missing out on", perhaps as a way of appreciating the stuff you DON'T have to go through because you no longer want to become a doctor. It's a sort of vindication of your life choices.
@@halleyscomment7694 Nah, I've never wanted to be a doctor. But a lot of my friends do, so I was just curious. Unfortunately, despising human biology put me off medicine ages ago.
hey can u please help? What other medical fields are rewarding other than mbbs I’m so confused
My heart was always set in psychology. But it wasn't until going through a spinal cord injury relearning everything neck down and going through intense self pursuit to get better physically mentally and spiritually that I was called to be a Neuropsychiatrist. Watching my mom lose her mental sense dying from cancer really pushed me to want to be more than a psychologist as I was telling the nurses the problems that were coming simply by listening and they didn't believe me until it happened. I even warned them she would die when she did and they where mind blown because I lived in a different state. No my mom taught me to be my own health advocate so in turn I studied health because of my injury. I asked God if he truly wanted me to do it then I'll be in college. Well I'll be getting ready to apply to medical school and I graduate with a bachelor's soon. The world needs people like me as doctors who've actually lived through much pain and treatments for the last twenty years. I'm determined because I know what's needed especially for women of my ethnicity! I just know it's my mission to heal. That's it that's all and if I can't heal then at least I can be there for them as they go through.

I was a 3rd year medical student when I decided to quit medicine. It was hard because of social pressure and other reasons, but now I feel relieved. Your video confirms that I made the right choice.
How did you convinced ur parents
@@sudharanimadaginal2728 My parents saw that I was unhappy in medicine and supported my new decision.
What are u doing now
@@sudharanimadaginal2728 l‘m planning study architecture.
what classes did you took that was required as a pre-med student?
I felt number 4. I have an interest in other professionals which is making me stress out on deciding what career I want. I considered medicine because I like the label of being a doctor and having a high-professional job. But I don't like the idea of studying or working overtime in my career. The fact that I don't focus on medicine too much made me realize that maybe I'm not determined or dedicated enough to be a doctor. Hopefully, I will be able to find the right career for me.
Same. I like the idea of "being" a doctor, the fact that I could make my parents proud and have "achieved" something, but I don't think I would enjoy the actual work practicing as a doctor. I have many different interests and while I enjoy working with focus and intent, I don't necessarily enjoy working hard with many extra hours, so I don't think medicine is the right choice for me.
I’m in my 4th year of med school and I had the same problem. Honestly, my mental health right now is really bad and I wish I could go back in time to start all over, I would have picked a different field.
@@blessedhuman1857is it really that bad? I've always wanted to go into medicine but I'm stressing out because I feel like once I get into university and med school and study to become one, I'll be burnt out and the long hours of studying will be stressful. So what's your advice?
@@alitemada8864im gonna try studying medicine on uni in a few weeks honestly it depends how old you are but if you still got room for exploring I would give it a shot. There are a lot of people who talk negative about med school but in every branch of studies your gonna have people who regret it everything has its ups and downs. The only way to truly know how it feels is to experience it yourself. I know people who found out that if wasn't for them and they moved on but I also know people that truly found their passion in studying med school and didnt regret a day of studying medicine. Of course med school is one of the harder studies but it can be rewarding im going to try it out and my advice is to do the same. The only way to find out is to truly do it otherwise you might never know if it somethinf you would have loved to do!

I wanted to become a marine biologist my entire life, up until i lost my godmother to cancer. All of a sudden i wanted to become a doctor so i could cure cancer and stop anyone from experiencing the pain i experienced. After 4 years i’m now a sophomore in college and i’m really considering this and i don’t think it will make me happy. I made an emotional decision when i was only 15 because i was sad and angry. Now i’m 20 and i know that my godmother would want me to do what makes ME happy, and to live for myself. I’m currently on the pre med track but the pressure and the lifestyle is just too much for me i think. I’m not up and quitting just yet but i am heavily considering other career paths outside of medicine.
Hi I just wanted to say doctors don't create medicine or make a cure they just prescribe medication pertaining to the disease. Scientists creates medicine and cure
But you won't stop cancer, usually, by being a doctor. Becoming a doctor because you want to stop cancer is like becoming a defense lawyer because you want to get innocent people committed, and you end up spending your career begging judges for lenience, and negotiating with prosecutors to get a slightly easier sentence for your client when he pleads guilty.
Thats a noble reason to want to go into medicine. Many of the best doctors, and discoveries and advancements in medicine came from someone with a personal reason for their pursuit. Also, with that pre-med undergraduate degree, you can take it into a research or scientic graduate degree of some kind. There are many outside of actual medical school. Having written that, I think its very smart that you're being honest with yourself now. I know your comment is roughly a year old now, and you've probably made some new decisions, but regardless, there IS a big difference often from the stereotype of a career vs. the reality of the day to day. My advice to anyone in an undergraduate point would be to seek out shadow opportunities to get an ACCURATE view of the field you're considering IF you're having doubts. Is it intuition trying to guide you elsewhere? - Or is it simply fear? Shadowing can illuminate a lot better than any class or professor in the bubble of an undergrad program. Also, you could look at other science-related careers and seek out people in those fields to talk with or shadow. That should make it all clear quickly which path is right for you. There is a lot to do in the medical field that isn't in a clinical/patient capacity with crazy stress. If you see this, and don't mind, I'd like to hear what you have decided! I'm a RN myself, btw!
My problem is that I do not know what my passion is...like I honestly don't know what I want to become. I don't know what I want, I don't want to work hard
Omg same thing with me
Except for working hard of course
Same:(
Same..
start to learn things outside the school or don't just be limited to school textbooks start to learn about more fields and when you feel you love to do or search about a specific field and get excite to learn it That's your passion Once you find our passion, go for it and never lose it because of school or college

Ex-doctor here. It's funny that I almost hit all 4 points (I don't HATE people but I can't deal with stressed out people or frustrated/angry people, and patients often act this way when they are in pain) For those of you who are wondering/nervous about medical school, once you get admitted to the programme medical school is really the easy part. In reality you don't need to know everything to be a good doctor, you need great people skills and common sense, the rest is experience. The hard part is actually working! The physical stress of long hours, the mental stress of working under pressure with lives on the line, the psychological stress of tough decisions, and mulling over potential mistakes late at night instead of sleeping for your early shift tomorrow... It's hard work unless you feel the passion and the calling for it.
Im just so afraid that my mental health is going to be extremly bad because of the pressure in med school :/
Same

Me too 😭😭

i'm finishing my first year in med school and i was really worried about the same, and while there's definitely been added pressure i also have more freedom to seek treatment and get support and for the first time in my life my mental health is bearable :) you will adapt and just remember to ask for support when you need it. good luck!
I got D in my chemistry and now I’m finishing my last year to become a doctor. Just work hard and be patient if really want to be a doctor you would do what ever it take to do it
is the pun intended?
Agreed! I got a C grade in my chemistry mock exam but ended up graduating with an A. I am now in my 4th year of medicine and loving it. You just have to be studying topics that you love and interest you - makes it far easier to learn and succeed...(unlike my strong dislike for chemistry in school.) Don't let a few bad grades in school demotivate you (anyone reading), you will succeed if you keep trying and pour your heart into it.
@@serenahamilton5407 I'm thinking of switching majors to medicine but I really hate chemistry and I'm not good at it either :(, do you think I could still make it?
How did you get in medical school
Oh thank god. I freaking hate chemistry and that subject has lowkey made me think about switching to business 😭
I’ve wanted to be a psychiatrist for years now; I think the only thing I would struggle with is being patient with people. I really do love helping people on their mental health journeys, not enough to be a psychologist per se, but enough to be a psychiatrist. I’ve always been highly interested in science as well, and since psychiatry is the more science oriented part of mental health, I want to do it. I want to give people medicine and the grounds to seek their own personal help, because I’ve struggled with a rare mental disorder for a long time now. I want to give people the help that I didn’t get, and help children and adults alike seek comfort within themselves and heal while also studying how the medicine itself works and showing them. I’m a hard worker as it is, and I think I could handle working many hours if I’m doing something I love. The only issue is that I’ve never been a very empathy driven person; in work environments I would rather work alone, and I don’t have a need to be social at all. I love working with peers who will be competent, but that’s the issue… not even my co-workers might be competent. I think over time I’ll have to learn to work with people who need to work harder. Of course I’ll have the patients to myself mostly in our meetings, I just hope that I go through school and my career with people who love what we do just as much as me.
This channel is a huge help for me. I’m 48 long term cna, tele tech. I applied to tech school for RN mostly due to the cost reward look. But PA sounds so great I keep going there in thinking. Being honest with myself is the most important. So seeing these vids really help THANK YOU guys!
“Hating People”. Wow you just described every doctor in the hospital
Hahahaha true
No ?
THANK YOU...
In America maybe
I’m in med school and I’ve never seen a group of ppl more willing to help others. With all due respect, I think you’re just seeing things from a patient’s perspective and aren’t taking into account how many hours the physician has worked or what their situation in life may be. I know that for interns, just organizing medical histories, making sure everything is legally in order, and giving information about every patient you see to every physician they need is extremely taxing. They may not be underpaid but they’re definitely overworked.
Thank you but I'm still gonna be a doctor

Loved this video! I'm a great example of your second point. I phrased it , " I just don't like people that that much."
This just confused me so much. I don’t have parental pressure but I do. They say I can be whatever I want but it would be nice if I was a doctor. I don’t hate people, but I do hate people that are disrespectful towards me. I’m not a hard worker if I don’t need to be, but when I know I need to work hard for something, I put everything into it. Medicine is not my main focus, but nothing is. Everything is dull, and all subjects are the same, I don’t favor anything! 😭
same here.
Sadly, same
The same situation is going on with me I am entangled with it. I would work hard if I need to but hard work 24/7 I don't know p.s if I love something I would do it at any cause but the thing is I dont like anything everything seems not so motivating or interesting so I end up thinking that I'll get a doctor degree work for some time and then do the profession whatever I want but won't it be a waste of time?

Thank you for making this video. None of those applied to me, and Ive gone into pharmacy. I work with people who are there only for the money and have no people skills. Some of them are plain rude. I work for someone who is highly intelligent but is probably the rudest person ive met. I do this because I love helping and caring for others and patients tell me all the time that they feel how much I care. Work ethic is very important, at the end of the day I know that I earned my money through hard work and its rewarding to me so much more.
this video has popped into my screen many times, but never clicked on it coz i was afraid about the content concluding that medicine was not meant for me. But now, watched it thinking that if there is any thing i can do to improve my standards. Am so damn happy that my understanding of medical school is just the same as said in the video, and I am meant to be a doctor!!!!!!!
Facts - High grades are nothing in determining a good clinician - As a doctor or nurse, dealing with patients’ families is so frustrating than dealing with patients - Your people’s person skills are the best friend in healthcare - Doctors aren’t super smart, they’ve passion and dedication. Anyone can become a doctor if you’re dedicated and passionate - What makes it challenging is the business culture in the healthcare settings, there’s rampant bullying and it’s so intentional
thank u so much!! ☺️
What's the bullying like?
@@pinkcardigan3329 it’s bad, there’s limited avenue for new ideas, like seniors try by all means to reduce your confidence in order not to speak up.

"intelligence has less to do with being successful", this feels relieving as hell to hear. Yall really took this comment too seriously, we all know its a combo of mulitple things (including intelligence) and effort you put into being successfull.
😂
Oh yes lmao
Phew 😅
He also said mostly in this profession......
Yep it is but you need intelligence to understand what your memorizing and to get through fellowship
I love how all of these medical mysteries have something to do with food! Thank you so much for sharing these with us
I strongly agree with all the statements. I always dreamt of being a doctor since childhood but when I started studying medicine I got really frustrated. Because I realised I like critical thinking and creating more than memorising all those information. It was really mentally struggling for me. If you are allergic to all those memorisation for long hours its definitely not for you. I would still love to be a doctor, but unfortunately all that reading is not for me. If you want to become a doctor just because you are really intelligent think again.
I am intelligent but liké even if i am intelligent i take longer to mémorisé thé same page that with other take liké 1 hour with me 1 and half or 2 hours if it's hard matériel liké dk i see people who aren't intelligent who Can mémorisé a lot of pages in little time does it get better with practise and Time ?
what would u study if u had another chance to rechoose ur major/ if not med?
Ah I felt like myself was talking to me issue with me is this that hoo I don't feel like it anymore to this stage that I know I will do that medical test and get seat but i don't think I will be happy
I'm 13 and I'm in middle school my dream is to become a doctor wish me luck 🙂

This is my first time watching this since getting in to med school. For sure I thought that I was allergic to hard work, but I really appreciate the challenge. Probably the best part about med school is if you really love learning then studying can actually be a lot of fun! This is coming from someone who "didn't need to study" in high school and college. Such a concept doesn't exist in med school, so students who work hard for their grade, you may have more aptitude than your peers where everything came naturally.

Excellent video! Family pressure and it took 20+ years to become honest with myself. Going back to school for Engineering!
My only problem is depression. I mean I always love watching and learning from medical shows. It's just the fact I'm always losing my memory and it kills my motivation on trying.

Thank you for this video. 🙏I agree that a person should become a medical doctor because of true passion coming from the person and not because of parental pressure or pressure from other people. Each one of us has the right to choose our own path.
Me failing physics, chem, bio, tech, math, and stat now is reason enought for me not to go to med school but I'm still going cuz I'm asian
Don't go into medical school because of a stereotype.

Jenny Nguyen I'm not going because it's a stereotype i'm going because my parents told me to
@@jmarais Don't go because your parents told you to. If you don't want to be a doctor don't go!
Myrp seriously, if you are really not interested in it don't force yourself, talk to your parents. I am in college taking biology and i already feel depressed being in a class full of people who want to do medicine when i myself am not interested. Imagine how much sadder I would be if i forced myself to go to med school just because everyone else is doing it?
I’m still going to be a doctor. No matter how hard it’s going to be. I’m going to keep pushing for it, and I hope you all do the same as well 🙏🏻❤️ Remember this, medical school will be challenging, but don’t let that scare you. As long as you keep pushing, everything will be okay. There will be times that you will want to give up, and when that happens, KEEP MOVING FORWARD! Think about when you finish medical school and become a doctor. You will be thanking yourself for the amount of dedication and effort you put into getting where you wanted to be. I hope every single one of you that chooses this career the best of luck! Good luck, everyone! 👨⚕️👩⚕️❤️ Update: Thanks for all the support and love!

damn b💯
I feel #3 so hard. My dumbest decision in life was accepting that med school scholarship just cause it was a nice-sounding profession. I thought "high school was easy as hell, how hard can med school be". I was wrong. and forgive me for saying but med school "dumbs" you down. I forgot so many stuff I was able to do back then, especially in maths. Math and physics were my favorite subjects given that they require more critical thinking than they do memorization. Biology was my least favorite. Med school really was a dumb decision on my part. Now I'm 1 year off graduation and board exam and I'm so scared. I don't know how I've survived for so long in this and I definitely don't know how I'm gonna pass that board exam. Being the "genius" child from kindergarten to high school, everyone is expecting me to pass. They don't know how different med school is from what I was used to, from what I've aced. They don't understand and it's not their fault, because I never would've known too if I never studied medicine. I'm so scared. I'm sorry for rambling, I was just planning to leave a short funny comment but the words just spilled and anyone I tell my fears to just tells me "don't worry, you'll pass, you're smart" but that's not what I need. Edit: HEY EVERYONE! i waited til this day before I made an edit. I took my first boards certification exam to be licensed as a physician last October and I got my results this November. I passed! I'm a board certified physician now. I still stand by everything I've said previously, but for everyone like me who has no way out too, take me as your example and proof that you can do it. Now, I'm going to rest for a few months before I decide whether to take residency or locum work. I turned 23 last August. This rest is going to be my late gift to myself. Good luck everybody! Edit2: also, tysm for everyone who has added their suggestions, wished me well, empathized, etc. Tysm :)) i come back to this comment many times hoping I can pass on my first try so i could reply earlier to you guys, and I did :)
The pressure is immense, I wish you the strength to make the correct decision
Just use anki.
I feel you, what are you doing now?
this is literally how i feel and what i went thru and im in 2nd year now :/
I've never related to a comment so goddamn much. I can't talk about how stressful it is because of the same response " Its fine, you can do it. I believe in you. " Like it doesnt matter if you believe in me. Im too exhausted to study 8 hours a day everyday for the next 5 years.
I care about people and I'm an incredibly hard worker however I've got soo many side hassles that i just can't give up on or belittle their time and i guess maybe it's a sign i stumbled across this video thank you!
Thank you @medicalschoolinsiders for clarifying my feelings towards medical school. 😭😭❤
Yeah I have social anxiety but that isn't stopping me from becoming a surgeon. Bye.

Good luck, Arber. I pray you become a great surgeon one day!
@@xyz-sy9wx in sha Allah also remember me in ur prayers
Goodluck on those years before you qualify as a surgeon where you have to deal with patients directly
in past 1year i have prevented almost 7 people from choosing medicine bcz afterall as a doctor its my duty to save lives
born leader lol well done. i wish someone had made that to me
this comment killed me laughing 😂😂😂
"Sometimes to save a life, you have to take one"
have you ever heard the tragedy of born leader the wise... he could save others from death, but not himself
The parental pressure is something I have to deal whit every day and I'm basically going insane because of it... I've did a test about working spaces and the one that corresponded to me the most was arts and then medicine and I have to take medicine because my parents won't support me when it comes to art stuff because they say i't doesn't move up to their standards in life.The reason why they want me to be in medicine is for me to always have enough money and brag about it to their friends...And I also relate to every detail you've mentionned in this and even if I try to make my opinions matter to my parents- it'll just sound like I never said anything about it... I don't know what to do anymore-even my friends told me that I should fight back but it's just impossible to accomplish(My generalised anxiety adds up to not going into a medical career) Oh and sorry for renting about my life I just needed to get this out of my chest haha.
I totally agree with you!💔 I'm first year in residency and I realized that I hate medicine so damn much!!! (I liked studying medicine but the work in real life is like pain in the ass for me!), I'm also trapped because of my parents and gonna lose my mind🤦🏻♂️🤦🏻♂️
I don't know if I would call it parental pressure but it's like I was never open to many options. I'm good at studies, I've always scored the highest in all my exams. Now I'm in last year of premed and at the end of this year, I will give the entrance exam to a medical university. The thing is, I never really knew what I wanted to do. I never had a clear idea about my career. I've always done what my parents told me because I couldn't make up my mind about what I want. They carved out the path for me before I could decide it for myself. So, I just decided to follow it. It's not bad, I can study and I like studying. I like getting new information about stuff, but not going to lie, sometimes it gets too much for me. I start to think what it would be like if I had more options to choose from, maybe I would've gone into Arts. Painting is my hobby, but I don't do it much anymore. It's like I want to do it but the stress of studying overcomes the feeling of freedom I get for a little while. Now, I want to go to a medical university because I can see a chance of me getting in. I want to achieve the best. I want to be successful. My family, friends and teachers encourage me and have great expectations from me. I've realised that I work on my own accord and I know when and how I want to do something. If anyone pushes me, I just get more lazy and don't do anything because of extra stress I get from their words. BTW, both of my parents are doctors 😅
i literaly in the same situation u r in. ( and my parents also are doctors) (and I draw as a hobby, thinking time to time what could life be like if I made it my work) My philosophy is that as long as I dont find something, a job which I am truly interested in, and which match my financial projects, i will continue to follow the medecine path. Medecine is not my passion, at all, but I dont have any true "passions", , does that mean I shouldnt work at all? (ofc no). I also think that interest comes with knowledge.
@@Manon-hd8yk I truly get what u mean. If money wasn't as issue, I would've pursued arts. And yeah same, I decided to do the same (to follow medicine until I know what I want) but now I've reached the stage where I must choose one path, so off we go towards medicine. My MCAT is in two weeks, so please wish me luck 😭👍 I HOPE I GET IN.
@@yusra3949 U GOT THIS!sending you international luck
Our situation is so identical, what!? However in my case my parents aren’t doctors and I’ve always thought that working within an anime production company or become a part of a movie crew would be nice but pursuing arts as a career is very costly and I can’t bear to burden my family much more than I have, just thinking that if I attend an arts university while my parents are pouring all their work salary towards my tuition fee is unsettling and bitter so that’s why I just promised myself to pursue a medical career willingly to help my family, I might have given up my dream but my purpose and happiness still remains so automatically I will move forward.
@@falia30 you're so mature, I am with you ! I feel like it's the best decision and if you feel like it doesnt worth it anymore, you can always retrain (which would be harder if you wanted to go from art to med)
I am ALL OF THAT, and I knew that all along before applying, but due to severe family pressure and me being ignorant kid at 18, I applied for med school. From the first year I was depressed but not severe enough to rage or quit, and I was still getting through grades easily, until I finally graduated with very little feeling of self accomplishment and still feeling empty and depressed. Then I started residency, oh boy, this was the deal breaker for me. I got so depressed and agitated that I kept thinking about suicide ON A DAILY BASIS, I cried when I was on call in the hospital ward working on a shift of 30+ hours of non sleep, and when I finally decided to quit, my parents and MY FREAKING BROTHER had a fight with me.. saying that I'm a failure for quitting and why did I not quit earlier. But being a more assertive and mature person now, I decided to not listen to them and just decide what I feel best for me, so I'm gonna go back to school and study CS, after all, I was always a computer person and I always dreamed of being a programmer. AND NOTHING CAN STOP ME NOW
Thanks for your story I feel the exact same way. I'm a final year medical student and I too have hated medical school all through out. I also really want to get into tech and really miss maths as that's what I was good at during high school. I think it's awesome that you're starting from the beginning and doing computer science. I'm really not sure what to do because I don't have the money to do another bachelors and I can't really get into any master programmes because of my lack of degree level maths. It's a sad catch 22. Good luck with your degree!
DONT STOP MEE NOOOW 😂
good luck!
Wow that's rather sad to hear, I find myself in the same conflict though. I think I'm going to start CS next winter semester lol, I'll prob drop out of med school eventually
@@kavemustermann I will tell you this, there is not a single day that passes without me regretting not following my passion and wasting all of these years in something I hate just because my family pressured me to do so. The most difficult thing in this world is not following your passion, but actually knowing it. And we are doing ourselves a horrible thing by not listening to our calling, there are people that would do anything to just know what they want and we are sitting here wasting our lives because of some values that we didn't set for ourselves. And believe me, when you actually will do what you love it will be absolutely worth it
My parents always called me smart and recommended me to be a doctor because I was fairly quick to pick up on complex things, but I HATE studying. I love learning new things, but I hate studying things over and over again. Medicine fascinates me, and I love every aspect of it, but I would never be able to be a doctor.
My god! This comment is a replica of mine. I'm in my 2nd year of my med school. But I still regret for studying. But I'm not regretting what I learned from it. My parents and my school told me to choose med as my career .but I was a bit confused at that time . My mom got stroke , and we took so many scans and her reports were disturbing as hell , and I forced myself to do it. But I don't like studying a bit. And I dnk y . still I got first in my 1st year among my batch mates . And they think , I studied harder😥 but it isn't true.
It's completely okay to make this decision infact this is the right decision to make for yourself if that's the case unless someone is HIGHLY passionate about becoming as well as being a doctor for the rest of their life they should not choose this career.
Same here mate ! Seems like we are floating in the same boat here.

@xxyyzz I did my pre med from Pakistan and I also got into the mbbs program so I don't think my experience will help you or if you wanna know I'll be glad to let you know.
@xxyyzz ok then. Well in Pakistan, i had 2 go thru 2 years of colg ( In Pakistan grade 11 and 12 are actually called college and school is till grade 10) I had a general pre med course where i studied physics bio and chemistry and well I'd rather say I crammed it cuz the exam that you give is based on cramming pricess and not concepts. So pre med was relatively easy until I had to start preparing for Mcat. My bio concepts were all good but i had to do physics chemistry all over again for about 11 months and then i gave the test which was difficult cuz it was a concept based test and a significant part of it also had English grammar section
But I still passed the test with a relatively high score as compared to some of my cousins. But unfortunately that year the merit for gov medical colgs skyrocketed and I wasn't able to get into a govt institution but thw no. 2 private med school of the country ( couldn't afford no. 1 😅) Anyways now I am doing a standard undergrad degree MBBs 5 years. I have professional exam next month and it wasn't as difficult only if u don't leave stuff for tomorrow and have your concepts clear. So the mbbs will take 5 years after which I have to serve 1 year as a house officer and then a year in the army.
Wow, all these comments of people saying they regret going to med school...😅 That's kinda scary lol
Ikr. I am planning on going to med school and the comments feel scary 😳
TBH it doesn't even sound worth it. Back in the day, being a doctor was prestigious, you made bank, and had a good life balance. Nowadays, the field is oversaturated, doctors are overworked, paid less and higher loans, etc. and all for what? To work 80+ hours a week, get little sleep and hardly see your family or have time to enjoy the money you're making? LOL. Fuck that.
I didn't go despite doing biology undergrad. I think it's like cops - everybody wants to be one but you better not freeze up in the time of need. Except for all the memorization I actually should have gone based on this but I definitely fit into scattered lazy intellectual wannabe. Adderall wasn't a big thing yet :) I think the video also should have stressed attention to detail which seems to be a key factor for my relatives who are/were successful as Doctors and nurses. Outside of work they can be really annoying cause of it but they are helping people so I keep my mouth shut. But hey I can't stand watching people handle meat cuz I just see contamination ruining the experiment :)

I'm so happy to watch this. Med school is what I'm going to do❤
Hi from Greece. I'm a nurse in the National Healthcare System. You are 100% correct...
I'm a psychiatrist, and I agree with most of your points but with ONE main caveat. Most people who chose to enter med school are just children and they barely know themselves. They think they're not allergic to hard work but they later learn they are. They think they're not being influenced by parental pressure but later learn they are. They think they do not dislike people but later learn they do. And they think they could make medicine their only career but later learn they have other interests. Like you said, doctors are a very special breed of people, and most of them have similiar personality traits or flaws. First, doctors tend to be a little narcissistic. They might not want to admit this but they almost always are, and there's nothing wrong with it. A little bit of narcissism is what's needed to sustain a long and arduous career. You need to be honest that you are in it for the status, for the hierarchy, for the money, and most importantly, for the need to feel WANTED. If you cannot admit this to yourself, if you think medicine is a charity and it shouldn't come with any reward whatsoever, you will eventually find yourself very disillusioned. Even doctors without borders do it for the adventure and they still get paid. If you LOVE to feel WANTED, then medicine is your career, because you are always WANTED and your pager will remind you of that every day. But if you're the type that wants to be free then it might be a little harder although it isn't a deal breaker. Second, doctors tend to be perfectionistic in what they do. Perfectionists generally think they are not good enough and thus they work very hard to prove themselves or they beat themselves up very hard. If you're a perfectionist, then medicine is your career. This is more important than the need to feel wanted because a sloppy doctor will not have a successful medical career. Finally, doctors tend to be moralistic and highly conscientious. If you're the type that likes to follow rules, morals, and ethics, then medicine is the right career for you. This is the most important trait a doctor must have. If you're an anarchist who couldn't obey authorities, you can't be a doctor. Every doctor is governed by a strict moral code and they break that code at their own peril. There is little room for innovation in medicine unless you're doing research. Medicine today is based on evidence and innovation can only be done with lab rats to start with and not with patients. If you don't like this, you can be an entrepreneur instead. The traits I mentioned ties in with the video. People who conform to parental wishes aren't usually narcissistic enough to sustain a career in medicine. People who are allergic to hard work aren't perfectionistic or moralistic enough. People who have many other interests tend to be highly innovative and creative while medicine is boring and rule-bound. And people who hate dealing with people don't have a need to feel WANTED, in fact, they hated needy people. **EDIT (FUN FACT) ** Characters from Scrubs: 1. JD = Highly narcissistic, always want to feel wanted, won't make a good chief of medicine. 2. Turk = Less narcissistic but very competitive, ie. perfectionistic, good candidate for chief of surgery. 3. Cox = Highly moralistic, highly narcissistic (but won't admit it), and highly perfectionistic, perfect candidate for chief of medicine. 4. Elliot = Highly narcissistic, always want to feel wanted, perfect for JD. 5. Kelso = Highly moralistic and rule-bound, getting old, should retire. 6. The Todd = I don't know about this one, this one is a red herring, I've never seen a doctor like that. haha 7. The Hooch = is crazy 8. Doug = Okay, you don't want to be this guy, not only does he not have the need to feel wanted, he downright fears patients. Very low self-esteem, calls father immediately hoping to please his dad when he receives a simple compliment from Cox (as a joke), knows nothing about medicine because he didn't study (i.e. not moralistic or perfectionistic), and he is a danger to patients. **EDIT (FUN FACT no. 2)** Commenter request: *Question: "I know this is a dumb one but Dr. House fascinates me cause he didn't fit in most things you named, I know he is made up but there are doctors out there like that. Even I would rebel from the system numerous times if it were for some greater good. But I still would love to be a doctor, mostly want to be a psychiatrist and it's great that I found your comment here. Also, gotta ask, do those who are very narcissistic judge patients much more?"* First, it is important to note that Dr. House is a fictional character and a doctor of his calibre do not exist in real life. A doctor can usually specialise in one or maybe two medical subspecialities but Dr. House seems to know everything from medicine, to surgery, to pathology, to microbiology, to just about every damn thing there is to know of the human body. It's unrealistic. However... Although Dr. House's abilities probably aren't real, his personality traits do exist in real life. He is not dissimilar to Dr. Cox in Scrubs in that he is the 'ALPHA' (male) of the group and being the Alpha means everyone differs to him when making tough decisions. This can create a lot of stress and so House and Cox put up a front to distance themselves from others to avoid being overwhelmed. This is normal, even I do that sometimes with medical students and junior interns (sorry...). But the degree to which Dr. House does it is probably excessive to the point of attracting litigation and complaints and that's where he falters. If House was a real doctor, he would've received complaints from patients and staff alike due to his extremely poor bedside manners and so will Dr. Cox. It is important to note that patients are people too and they deserve to be treated with dignity and respect (so do junior staff members). They may have unhealthy, unusual, and unsavoury habits but we are not to judge as doctors. But having said that, doctors have the freedom to choose who to treat and who to refuse treatment based on their moral/religious beliefs. But this does not give them the right to berate patients. The character arc for Dr. Cox over the 7 seasons of scrubs is about how he learns to open up to JD, to Jordan, to Carla, and to his son, to reveal a gentler and more tender aspect of him. This is crucial to his character development because he learns to be less judgemental and more empathetic to his patients by accepting his own vulnerabilities. The core issue with narcissists like House and Cox is in learning how to be vulnerable because narcissists generally suffer from extremely poor self-esteem and that's why they bolster their ego by putting everybody down (i.e. Donald Trump). By being vulnerable, they are opening up themselves to those who would accept them unconditionally and that's how they repair and resolve any psychological damage done in the past. I don't know if House's character actually develops much in the way of empathy because I don't follow the show very much. But it would make sense that he does. Dr. Cox was a very different person in season 1 compared to when he's in season 7 (with some exceptions of course). This goes to show that there are more important things to being a doctor than just 'KNOWING EVERYTHING'. They don't teach you that in med school and you need very good mentors in real life to guide you. I am only who I am today because I had wonderful mentors to keep me centred (although some of them have retired). A doctor without a good mentor is bound to run into problems like these and they might end up being sued, disqualified, and having to see a shrink like me. Hope this had been educational. :)
Good comment. Thanks for your insight. But meh. ill be fine. im in it for the money and the status. im not really interested in anything. but i did get good grades. so i chose to be a doctor. third year and and im still passing tests. i keep this up and i believe ill have a bright future.
Woah I *dream* to be a psychiatrist.
This is amazing. Second year med student here, and I confirm that✌. Merry Christmas 🎄
I wish I saw this comment before goin to med school.
Thanks for this comment - very interesting. I think medicine is a good fit for me based on your insight. =)
Dont Go to med School if you hate School! Dont Go to med School if you hate people Dont go to med school if you dont like hard work. Dont go to med School if you only in it for the money The most important reason is dont go to med school if you know in your heart that you like to do something else....other than medicine.
Im very thankful because I've never hate school but sometimes i hate studying, im also excited and motivated if i learn new things especially those hard ones.to learn.. i never hate people. Im not in it for money responsibility first over money although im a chef.. i enjoy cooking and baking... but it doesn't mean i like this job at all... NO! Being a chef you must be a hard work in nature...i get more tired if theres nothing to do... in my work place.... i am very concern if some of my collegues get sick... and want to ask what they feel, whats wrongg etc. etc... is med school right for me in this circumstances?
Shit those all apply to me lmao
I mean if that’s the case we wouldn’t have a whole lot of doctors tbh

@Bts infires me to be the skinniest legend ok you're on of those people.... Have fun being miserable. Life is what you make of it.

Thanks for making this video! It is very helpful :)
Am I the only one who still didnt decide what I wanna become in the future 😳 why I dont have any goals😢
Same here, dw :((
You are not alone :,)
SAME And I have to decide like rn
Same!

I wish i had seen this video before going to med school. You have to sacrifice a lot; your artistic side, your hobbies, your dreams. Peer pressure and fear of failure are the only things that push you forward. It's quite scary at least for me and giving up isn't just an easy step 💔
Me too. I would've shown it to my parents to make them see what it's like for someone who's so far in it. I am too scared to quit now because I didn't have the time to know myself that well and know what I truly want to be.
@@christine3122 exactly what i thought 😰
@@christine3122 same with me. I can't afford to quit now. Lot of things rely on me and I have lot of responsibilities building up.
I'm in same situation like you... I'm interested in other fields. But can't quit.
Yup i'm in the same position and a final year med student. Not sure whether to take a job or completely switch track and do a masters in something else.
The points are spot on!! As a Doctor who ticks points 2, 3 and 4 i would advise to seriously consider picking other fields.
That sounds like torture, thank you doctors of the world❤️
I like people if I'm getting paid.
This
Nice
That's sad. Im gonna be a little bit serious, I know that you're joking but Medicine isn't really about money. It's about help, teaching, and creating a better place for people. There's more but I wouldn't bother :))
anni collan idk if you are joking or not, but don’t be a doctor because you like money. The reason why doctors get paid so much because being a doctor is physical and mentally straining. You have so much responsibility, and even doing all of that, the patient that you were with probably didn’t make it. That can be a huge strain on mental health. If you want a lot of money, than be a landlord. Being a landlord will give you tons of money, and you don’t even need to get out of your house or work. All you need to do is collect rent each month.
Lmfao mood!
Who has Parents who DONT want them to do Med because of how hard it it, but you want to! ???
I did. Still went.
Me
Ligerally me

Yo me
As a med student, i totally agree with you. With this career, your whole life has to revolve around medicine. I've seen so many people either fold under the pressure or end up seriously depressed.
Did i just not tick any of these points n getting into medicine.. thanks for laying facts right in front of me. It is hard to confront parents that this is just not something that interests me n im not keen keeping up with the pressure of consistent hard working.. life is gonna be tough for me no doubt
So sad this video was not uploaded 10 years ago, when I decided to enter med school. I’m a doctor now and try to be nice whit my patients and do my best, but I kwon in my heart that I made the wrong career choice. And many colleagues feel just like me, but they don't say it.
What career choice do you think would have been better for you? I have so many interest but I don’t know what to do in life.
I'm sorry if you feel that way. I know it would be a waste of everything you worked hard for, but is it too late to pursue what you really want?
Long story short, i basically got into the field and job i always wanted to. Now im already getting bored of it and its not even a year. So from me to you and anyone reading, even getting that job or into that field you always wanted to may still leave a sort of void. Its like what i heard once: "youre trying, youre working your whole life for it, theres something great on the other side, but when you get there, its like this is it!? and it doesnt feel much different". Looking at the general but bigger issue, i think its that we're always wanting something to fill the void, but sometimes we think the formula to that answer is a job when its really something about life.
@@digimon916 Everything you said is on point. That's why only Jesus can fill that void! John 6:35 Then Jesus declared, “I am the bread of life. Whoever comes to me will never go hungry, and whoever believes in me will never be thirsty.

All the dislikes are from parents who want their children to become Doctors no other options.
Yeah 😭
LOL
U mean asian parents?

Nursing school made me miserable but during clinical rotations, the grotesque surgeries didn’t bother me and I will find myself thinking if I should continue my studies. But all of the characteristics presented here definitely all are me 😂 thanks for video! Made me realized things and surely will save me in the future

But I'm Asian. I have to go to med school or I am disgrace to family
Oh boy! Same with me.

Med school: Hey Me: Do u wanna go on a date?
helping others has always been a passion of mine especially emotionally (which is why i want to go into psychiatry!) and weirdly enough, i LOVE studying, it could be any subject idc. i think being a doctor could be perfect for me
I am everything that isn't good for this. I used to be very passionate about it. But my life's changed. And I don't want this anymore. I'm glad for this video. Thank you I've made my decision. Good luck for everyone else who are not only strong but passionate about it.
I was one of the top students in school, excelling both in academics and co-curricular. That too with limited input. BUT med school has drained all my passion, critical analysis, drive to rank well in my class and outside. I feel my IQ has fell down by many scores due to all the cramming and vomiting all that in exams. I am a people person, or so I thought, but medicine brings me face to face with such jerks (patients or their families) who I can't even ignore or run away from! All those dreams and expectations from this profession seem like a mirage. Request to all those thinking about goin in this profession- DO NOT WATCH MEDICAL DRAMAS ON TV! You don't get to be 'Dr. House' everyday! 😂 I have not played the piano in the last few years, been out of touch with my painting and dancing nor have I read any new novel recently. Not that I dnt have free time but I don't have the tenacity for my hobbies after the drudgery and hard work in the wards. For medicine, you have to love it wholeheartedly and more than anything else or else attending emergencies at 2 in the morning won't be easy for u. U have to give up on many things in life when u become a doctor!
Docsaab everything will be alright
I felt the same way in medschool about my IQ. Weird isn't it? How lack of socializing, doing normal things and studying all day actually makes you dumber not smarter. I tried to explain that to people on the outside but they don't get it.
That's simply not my reality. I am a pediatrician who works 45 hours a week, and I love my job. I have been a doctor for twenty years, and I have written and published two books on pediatrics. I am working on my historical novel set in 1940's Shanghai. I created my own gaming online community and I play computer games daily with my son. I also love photography and I take pictures daily and edit them. I plan to have a gallery show one day for my photographs.
Surprising that all that was a revelation to you. You should have better prepared yourself for the reality of medical life. But, it's not too late. Consider doing something else that you find fulfilling. And, with a medical degree one can do things other than practicing. I spent a lot of time teaching and found that very rewarding.
@@wholeNwon Nope! I still want to pursue this course and frankly speaking, after these years in med school, I feel I can't do anything apart from this. I just wish, the system of teaching and practice changes in favour of the students and doesn't stick to the age old methods.
I love how people are so determined about their future. I'm not interested in anything, i go to school, i study, i do this and that. The only thing that i really enjoyed is drawing. I aware of my future going to be if i only draw. My parents are doctors, and ofc they want me to be a doctor and so do my siblings. Not only them, my teachers too. Anyway, don't mind me Good luck to all people!
Do what you love!! If you love drawing major in art. You can do things with art degrees like be an art teacher etc. you’ve got this!! Btw love you pf pic 😊
I'm rooting for you and your passion!
Hey! Maybe you could become a medical illustrator (I highly recommend looking into it) or maybe look into designing prosthetics
Same tho, nothing seems interesting to me and it’s quite confusing, i wanna be able to choose a path for myself but its hard, the only thing that i enjoy sometimes is art but i cant see myself doing it for a career, and medicine is the only choice left but im not sure if im able to go through those long years of studying for something i wasn’t even passionate about-
Your story is the same as me but I chose med already . Sadly can't turn back. Hope you follow your passion . Good luck!!
Since childhood, my dream is to become a doctor and now that I'm pursuing my pre-med, my desire for taking doctor of medicine is still there. I am aware of all those struggles and hardships and I am willing to endure all of it with all my heart, even if i had to sacrifice family gatherings. My goal is to help people and to take care of my parents as they grow old. Seeing your patients smile, and getting well is the best part of this job.
Thank you very much for this advices! Good job
I’m allergic to hard work I have no interest in 😂
This comment really got me dead 💀😂
I want to be a nearosurgeon but I have the same perspective on work, i guess I have to have more fun doing homework in some way
Strong Gen Z power
It's all about a work ethic habit, once you change your habit i think it's possible. But it's easier said than done though. Im already stressing about my x ray program which is 2 years, yet ppl go for medicine for 10 + plus years. Right now im treating the program that im in as if im in medical school.
Same
see y'all back in abt 6 years when I graduate medical school
