      Just this ….. the fact that u chose to do an elective in the area that u feel u need the most work in shows exactly what kind of physician u r. U don’t run from challenge and what’s hard. U face it head on and make it ur friend. So so so proud.

I can't explain in words how much it means to hear Dr. Rasania tell us not to give up and to keep working hard towards our dreams and goals, he's such an inspiration. Also, I love how Rachel always gives us the best content to keep us motivated!

      @@sanakhan-lm4yn okkk. So. Here's what I want to ask.
      I'm about to start my third year. Should I go for long standard books like katzung Robbins or should I stick to usmle relevant material like Pathoma sketchy bnb and all of that stuff.
      Second.
      I intend to give my step 1 towards the end of my third year or at most the beginning of my 4th year. Is it a good time or you recommend changes in my timeline.
      Third.
      I've heard k electives are only awarded to those who are "students". Soo. A doctor who's doing his house Job. Is he considered a "student" or a graduate. ?
      I don't check my yotube notifications and I have so many notifications from random channels. Is there any other way in which we can effectively communicate ?
      Thanks.

    Such a great video & message! Thank you, Doc & Rachel! So many people do not realize just how resilient doctors have to be at heart. Very often, there are a lot of "failures" along the way, but it's the people who are willing to keep pushing who succeed! What a wonderful reminder of this. It is NOT always just "smart" people who make it through easy - in fact, SO much of it is NOT easy! Loved this video!

    It's nice to hear about the path and the reasons that bring doctors to medicine and their specialties. Understanding a physician's interest and passion for a particular practice area helps humanize them as a person beyond the scrubs and pulls back the curtain, which does not happen too often. Great video Rachel and Dr. Rasania!

  • @Angels-3xist
    @Angels-3xist Před rokem +1

    I completely agree with him that centralized and accessible information is key to having a functional healthcare system where people can educate themselves through research. I think if people can engage with the information and get something out of it than it should be free and there should be as many ways for that information to get to people as possible. Obviously services have to cost something but information and experience being accessible can make the world a better place. The easier it is to improve our work the more impact our work can impact peoples lives and finding ways for education to reach people is as important as how people try to reach the information. I think that’s changing alot and that wherever you want to get to in any field it’s becoming easier and more accessible at every stage and that’s why what he’s saying is so important to remember. Wherever stage your at you have to keep hope and know you’ll get there. Everyone around you wants you to get where you’re going too.

  • @MossyMozart
    @MossyMozart Před rokem

    Gerontology is becoming a more important part of medicine all the time. Dr Rasania was smart to go into it until such time as he could get into interventional cardiology. And as he said, that experience helps him a lot. My wonderful oncologist just left Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center to inaugurate a geriatric oncology program with the Hackensack system. He had already done a lot of research on the subject which showed that when a gerontologist is involved with oncologists, the life expectancy of the elder client is significantly increased. Will miss him, but am so proud of him.

    Thank you Dr. Rasania! It's encouraging to hear that coming from a foreign (to the US) medical school, then not matching, and going on a tangent to do geriatric medicine ultimately led you to where you are in cardiology today. It's a winding road, but all a journey nonetheless.

    • @MossyMozart
      @MossyMozart Před rokem +1

      @Mya Khine - Don't look at gerontology as a tangent, but as a very helpful, even important, adjunct to Dr Rasania's practice. He states that in this video.
