"It says strip clubs for orthopedics... I'm not really sure why that is. I don't know why *nervous laugh*"
In head: HOW DO THEY KNOW
ha
Antonio J. Webb, M.D. ur married so đŹ
Sorry to be so off topic but does someone know of a way to get back into an Instagram account..?
I was stupid forgot the account password. I love any tricks you can offer me!
I canât believe the back to back uploads. I really like how dedicated you are in making these videos. God bless
Thanks!
đđđđđđđ. Keep on keep on. You are really making a huge impact in People live a through these videos. God bless you Dr Antonio Webb
He can do it because this video is him literally reading someone's else's content (without credit)
Ortho should really be, "Do you lift bro?"
Been having a rough week. Thanks for the video, came just in the right time and makes me feel a little better.
Appreciate it Dr.Webb Iâm deciding between nursing and pre-med
Hey Dr. Webb, I love how long this chart has been going around. I actually recently used it for a post in a physician FB group and it received a lot of laughs, a lot of cries, and a bit of outrage :P
And boy oh boy is it ALL stressful! Surgical veterinary technician here. Love your videos!! Cool to see how the human side does things : )
Thank you!
That flowchart is AMAZING! đđ
I like this Flow chart. Iâm currently set on Anesthesthesiology but itâs good to explore all specialties of medicine. I recommend visiting your local hospital and asking to job shadow certain doctors. This really helped me to narrow down my decision learning about the different environments and duties which fit well with my personality.
True. Thanks for the pointers!
Check out this video if you havenât!

Anesthesiology is the hidden gem in medicine!
How are your grades? "My class hates me."
Haha we all know that person.
ha, yup!
Does it mean the grades are so good that the classes hates you for not being able to be as good ?
@@alyssamedlife Yeah it could be a number of things.It could be envy, as you described. It could be that the person who gets good grades asks a lot of questions. If the class uses a curved grading system, their high scores "throw off" the curve for everyone else.
TurdFurgeson571 ohhh ok. Thank you đ
@@alyssamedlife Not necessarily, for example if you have brilliant grades but like children you can still do Pediatrics, no matter what the flow chart says. My class hates me can mean they envy you but it can also mean that you boast a lot and are not popular and therefore should go into Pathology. If you have good grades ignore this part of the flow chart. There are some not huge nerds who do Pathology and some genii doing Pediatrics.
The difficult thing is when you wanna do something competitive, but you decide late so you have to try and get published in the field, set up subIâs/aways, etc. in a rush.
I struggle with this to, however I guess it is never to late to start? If you really want it, it is worth the effort.
Hi Iâm interested in dermatology and what do you mean get published in the field and set up sublâs/ aways and etc. What are these things? And as a junior in high school Iâm applying this year to college in the fall and wanna know how I can get ahead in this very competitive field.
Jswirv wow wow thank you so much for this precious information! I currently have a 4.2 GPA and Iâm gonna be studying for the SAT over the summer so then I can ace it in August/September! The only problem is that I got such a high GPA from taking honors class not AP/IB classes. But for my senior year Iâm going to be attending a community college instead of studying my last year at my high school so that way I can get college credits. The only problem is that Iâm sure the elite undergrad schools donât have transferable credits but I will look more into that. My experience in the community college as a high school senior is more for the rigorous work So that I can become used to the amount of work for the future. Also what are some of the best undergrad majors to study to get into med school? In addition do you know of any high school seniors that can shadow doctors like a dermatologist, is That possible?
Jswirv thank you I will look into all of that !
@@liangymendez4164 You should still be able to shadow a dermatologist, just reach out and ask. The younger you are the more excited people are to reach out and help you.
THANKS for sharing this Doc!đ I'm in my high school year and planning to be a doctor soonđ
Why would it been soon?
Thanks for posting this!! Hilarious and oddly helpful đđ
Ha, thanks!
O.O this is what I neeeeeed. Thanks Dr. Webb!
No problem!
Can confirm the accuracy, got Psych without looking at the end results and that's what I'm applying to this year!
True inspiration! Thank you!
No problem! Thanks for watching!
THIS IS SOOOOOOOOO GOOD!!!;) Thank you!!!;)
So far, I have been able to narrow what I want to everything on this list
Great video Dr. Webb!
Thanks David!
AboutâHow are your gradesâ, would you like to give a score range with ugh, ok and your classmates hate u. Thank you!
Love this scheme... Thank u...
Really great video! I want to become a plastic surgeon! I am now in my last year of medical school.
Plastic Surgery is a great field! Ive considered it
@@antoniowebbmd why you did not go for it?
Hey Dr. Webb can you talk more about PM&R. At my hospital, the rehab floor doctors are all family medicine doctors.
*SO PERFECT.*
Omg the best video ever.
My personality loves to multitask and love the thrill....emergency medicine! This would be my specialty hands down. đ
Awesome video!
Thanks!
Great video just found your channel today
I'm a junior in high school pretty sure I want to become a neurosurgeon or maybe even neuropsychiatrist
You video really help we somewhat set goals for my future
Thank you
Awesome! Keep up the good work and welcome to the channel!
Vastly different careers around the same organ. It's awesome that you have such broad interests!
Keep it up!
Iâm not socially awkward but i try to avoid fields that will cause confrontations that i could have with patients but i do like to go into a speciality that pays me an average salary in comparison to the highest paid specialities .Also i want to go and have enough free time to spend outside of medicine .I need some help here dr .webb.!!
I keep GETTING OBGYN! No matter what I do- I keep getting that!
This man said "you can have fake interest in rashes"- Derm, im cryinnnnnnnnn
THANK YOU so much for this. Holy shit.
Been driving myself insane the last couple months while I nervously wait on an acceptance or denial letter to my community college's A.S. for Radiology. (doing a two year to be an x-ray tech to see if I can even stand that and retain interest before pushing though a 4 year out of city and into med school and such)
During that time I've been sitting here looking up alternatives in case I don't get accepted where I can just finish my A.A. and either reapply to the programs at my cc, or go to a Uni.
I've been bouncing around between an IT or Comp. Science degree and something in medicine for the last 10 years (22 now) so it seemed sensible to do Radiology to work with machines and still help others.
Going back to the flow chart:
- Despite interest in just about everything aside from Cardiology, I hate kids with a passion so I don't know about Family Medicine there. Although I've never had to work around them. Only experiences I can think of are in grocery stores and such when the parents can't stop their kid from screaming and crying for minutes at a time.
- Grades are fine aside from the C in A&P2 (side effects from a medication is all imma say).
- I am fine with cutting things but something about needles freaks me the fuck out, although I am willing to bet I can just be around them enough to make that go away. Otherwise anything Cardiovascular related is an absolute no go. (gonna look into interventional radiology procedures to see what that all entails)
- Socially awkward is getting there. Just takes a couple minutes talking to get comfortable with the person. Though honestly a few minutes is all I imagine most people have with a particular patient so it'd always be awkward.
So yeah, pretty accurate.
Hahaha. The chuckle kills me!
Hi Iâm interested in dermatology And as a junior in high school Iâm applying this year to college in the fall and wanna know how I can get ahead in this very competitive field.
Thank you so much for your videos!!
what is the perfect subject to major in to go to Medical school?
There is no "perfect" subject to major in. I actually sat on the admissions board at Georgetown while in med school and learned a quite bit about applying, etc. Lately, most med schools have started to like students with non bio/non chem degrees. But, major in something that you enjoy learning about. If it's not bio or chem, then do the pre-reqs additionally. If you want to major in music, then do that. And then just do the pre-reqs for med school. That will be perfectly fine and may actually make you stand out from the majority who have a biology or chemistry degree. If I had to recommend a degree to a pre medical student, it would be to pick a major that after you graduate (and while applying to medical school) that you can make some income. Examples include: nursing degree, tech jobs associated with a degree, computer degrees, etc. I hope this helps and good luck!

Thank you so much,you're really helpful.
I'm thinking to major in Biomedical science,but I don't know if can make some income after graduating while I apply to Medical school.what do you think?
Spanish! But Iâm a little bias since thatâs my Bachelors lol
i always wanted to take up PMR but since my whole family is against my decision, im still confused with what i should choose.... And then i came across your video...!!! Oh lord....!!! Sir.... I think i should take up PMR....!!!! Thats the only option im getting when i went through your flow chart....!!! Thankyou! đđ»
what is pmr
If your a carribean graduate or your a DO. You really only have 2 option. Family medicine And if your a top gunner, internal. Most who choice internal do so with the Hope's that they can get fellowships in more connective speciality later on. As much as I'd love to pick a speciality. I know family will be my only option. And that's fine with me.
@Jswirv That's the biggest BS floating around. If you are an American, with an undergrad degree and do well on your exams and rotations. AND APPLY WISELY, THEN YOU SHOULDN'T HAVE ANY ISSUES. It's expensive to go to caribbean, THEY DON'T OFFER SUPPORT and you have to teach yourself for the most part and you have no real guidance. They will drop you faster than a fart disappearing in the wind if you screw up on courses. American medical schools set you up better. On Top of that Caribbean students are still responsible to meet the same exact criteria as students from Ivy league schools and pass the same exams.
Thank you Doc!
But you forgot to mention ENT (Otonasolaryngology) specialty in your diagram!
Yup! Thanks!
Iâm pre-med and I failed organic chem smh whyâd I choose this track
Haha so funny đ I like nothing.. my grades are ugh.. I do like people (sometimes lol), I do willing to touch.. so I guess physical medicine and rehab would probably suitable for me.. đ
Working in medicine is a very tough job. You have to be smart, dilligent, independent learners, talkactive, willing to try one more time. We need to master skills in order to do good in medicine. I have a realization after studying medicine and living with bronchiectasis that being a patient and a medical professional is a tough combo. đ
Well I guess I don't have to be so overwhelmed with the little things and the future. Enjoy new things and learn as much as I can. One day at a time.
ha and Very true, take it one day at a time!
Hey I'm 25 year old and I'm in school for mechanical engineer should I switch it to nursing just to stay in the medical area our just continue to do four years of mechanical engineer then go to medical school
I love how monotone he is
That feel when the speciality you chose is on the diagram but he didn't even speak about it and it's the only field he didn't mention at all lmao.
Broke my heart man
What was that?
Sudev Namboodiri sounds like anesthesiology đđ
@@abdullahassiri6741 If it's anes, then that would break my heart too. Surgeons and anesthesiologists have to work together. It's as bad as Josh not inviting Drake to his wedding.
Cool , Please send the image of the chart, I want to hit my colleagues with theses fun facts.
Thanks,
@My 2 Cents I'm a doctor and that's why I respect copy-rights
can you make a video for immigrants? i have been trying to collect information about the countries and entrance exams that i'd have to give if i want to emigrate from india. but all of that is confusing me like anything.
if you have any information regarding studying surgery in any part of the world and their entrance tests, PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE make a video on it!
Literally cracking up right now with those Qs on the chart haha
LOL
The pay is not there
I'm all about that Forensic Pathology.
Hahaha! I love everything and I have ADHD.
Iâm actually doing EM/FM!
Hey Dr. Webb. I'm a first year med student and I did below average but passed my first 3 classes. Could I still get into a specialty like IM or anesthesia?
Check out this video here. Your 1st and 2nd year grades donât really matter.
czcams.com/video/_EKf97cKKj4/video.html
Okay I have been looking for an answer to this and am wondering if you know. Say there is a gsw to the heart, or major blood vessel be it vena cava or aorta. Does the trauma surgeon take card of that or will they call in a cardiovascular surgeon?
Most likely cardiovascular surgeon
Where are cardiology and cardiothoracic surgery?
I acknowledge the time you placed into making this diagramâ„
What personality best fit interventional Cardiology or Cardiovascular/ thoracic surgery please?
probably nerd, like to cut, and willing to compromise with sleep
None....I'm an Accountant..đ€Łđ€Łđ€Łđ€Ł...love it....Numbers don't talk back..lol
I want to be an anesthesiologist, what high school gpa should you have. I have around a 3.5 and itâs my freshmen year. Next year Iâm think about taking honors math,science, and Spanish. Do you think that will be good enough to become an anesthesiologist.
Jswirv Ok thanks you for answering.
did not see cardiology or dentistry???
What would be the characteristics of oncology?
Family medicine pay don't seem too shabby to me! Not that the pay is important, but family is extremely important to me, and I would love to work in family medicine one day to be more with my future family and keep other families safe and well.
You can do it!
I read âdo you haveâ ... and got distracted then reread it to realize that it said ADHD and start laughing because thatâs definitely me đđ
Same đđđ
I love how this accidentally sent me to Emergency Medicine, and that what chatgpt said I should do as a Specialty when taking into consideration my adhd diagnosis and Astrological Chart đ
I love surgery and everything about it but how do u deal with the pressure of operating on a human
My 2 Cents well duh but itâs still a living person
My 2 Cents and how do u deal with the pressure of having a human life in your hands itâs a pretty straightforward question donât know how youâd get confused with it
My 2 Cents I asked how do u handle the pressure and u go oh their under well no shit idiot their gonna be under. Iâm talking about human surgery an animals life would also be stressful so the same question applies how do u handle the pressure. For a vet ur pretty dense
Don't worry u have to become competent in your residency otherwise you won't pass!! till you pass there will always be a surgeon to supervise you till you master the skill
Whatâs the difference between a physical medicine & rehab MD vs physical therapist?
Good question. Physiatrists and physical therapists treat patients with the same types of conditions. However, physiatrists are physicians who have completed medical school plus four years of residency training. The role of the physiatrist is to manage a patient's medical issues as they participate through the rehabilitation process such as their blood pressure and other medical problems. Physical therapists then assist the patients in the rehab process so essentially they work together as a team.
Zebras vs. horses
I love OBGYN and thats what i got lol đ„°
Everyone always forgets anesthesia :(
Weâre usually out cold
@@CombativeLlama HHAHAHH
I will add it for you...."Are you usually forgotten about and left out of conversations? Then anesthesia is for you!"
No itâs there
Are you doing academic or private practice after fellowship?
Undecided
HAHA this video is right on time considering I'm a 3rd year medical student, but you left off my future speciality #Anesthesiology
You can do it!
Check out this video here!
czcams.com/video/gz8HkAa9Zb8/video.html
@My 2 Cents He didnt mention it in the video... 2 cents is the perfect name for you
Is there a list for sub specialities ?
What about cardiology or cardiovascular surgery?
đđđ in your heart
What happens to cardiology?
that's a subspecialty of internal med
Why you need to be a nerd to be In phathology ? Is it hard
It's not hard to match into, but it's not for everyone. You have to be interested in looking at slides, images, and even deceased bodies day in and day out. There is much less social interaction in pathology than in many other specialties.
I subbed you seem like a cool guy đ
Thanks! Welcome to the channel!
How does "do you like to cut" = no lead to ophthalmology. That doesn't make sense, it's a surgical specialty
What about Cardiology?
This is going to sound crazy but does anyone dual specialize. I recently got a chance to meet a doctor who specializes in Nephrology and Cardiology .
It can happen but really rare
I wanna be a *Radiology* đđđ. Next year ill do my test for speciality đź
Radiologist is a good field! Good luck!
Mario C. Omg I want to be a radiologist too!
Same.You should look up radiopedia. Its like having thousands of cases from wherever.
âDo you like to cutâ đ
What about rheumatology
Where is CVTS
Iâm aiming for ortho spine
The best field! Ha
Lifestyle for orthopedics?
Orthopedic - strip clubs, because theyâll never have a family.
The truth is you can make a lot of money in any residency especially with a fellowship
If you hustle
Lifestyle/ there are ways to make anything work. ER rural docs work 7 24 hour shifts a month
Soooo I might end up in pathology, neurology or anesthesiology lol
was looking for internal medicine but got general medicine :0
What about medical genetics? Why is nobody making vids about this specialty?
What abt ENT
Where is anesthesia
Emergency medicine is not mentioned... oh I just saw it! EM
I think the "meow" joke went right over my head lol what's the reference??
i think its me ow
I think it s referring to fact that most obgyns are women or that they deal with the vagina aka pussy cat hence the meow
watchthis300, how about general surgery?
Cardiologist???
Nyc vdoâ€
Why am I watching this Iâm not even in the med school
Ortho it is!
Man's said phisayatryđđđŒ
No OMFS :(
I wanna go into pediatrics but im not a nerd
You donât have to be a nerd
Cardiothoracic surgeon?
right thatâs what i was looking fir
Honestly this helps đ
Maybe family medicine.
Family medicine is a good choice!
Ortho it is
