- In this "email Monday" video, I answer 2 different reader questions. The first question, "has medicine changed you?" and the second, "how do you stay so happy?" are related and so I answer them both in this video. I hope you enjoy!
Sorry for the issues with this video yesterday! I re-uploaded it but it lost all the comments! So sorry guys!
+Andrea Tooley hi Andrea! just wanted to say - you're awesome!
+Andrea Tooley Can please interview someone in sports medicine and ask them how to become assigned to professional teams I've been waiting for this for years! Thank you!
+Keishawn Roye OMGG that would be amazingg!! I want to be a head orthopedic doctor for a sports team in the future! Please consider this Andrea!
+Andrea Tooley Are you made of chocolate?? seriously, you're very pretty. I'm the IMG that moved newly to US if you still remember my email and promised you to meet someday.
+MrError90 are u talking about me or Andrea lol
Hi Andrea, I am a 19 year old italian girl and in the first year of medical school in Germany :) I rediscovered your channel after a couple of years. I just want you to know that I remember watching your videos and think "this girl is amazing, I really look up to her"
Ciao, Val :)
Thank you for giving a realistic approach and view to medicine. As a 2nd year medical student who worried in my childhood due to impoverished parents about "where we were going to sleep at night" thank you for bringing that up. Many of my classmates are not like me. They have had it pretty easy. I have not... and it REALLY does mature you. Maybe more than any other profession. Thank you for being real... in ALL of your videos. Keep it up. You are an inspiration to me-- an honest, compassionate MD.
Thank you for your comment! You will certainly make a fantastic physician with the life experiences you have had. I am sorry to hear about your childhood, but I'm sure that you will use that to connect with your patients and ultimately help many people :-)
"It's something that we chose and it's up to us to be happy about it."
Thank you so much for all of these videos. You are very amazing.
Andrea, I'm in my 3º year in medschool here in Brasil. Something that I notice and never imagine is that how the difficulties of a medstudent are the same, even if we belong To so different countrys. Congratulations on your channel! It really helps me, especially when a I need a moment To "relax". 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
You inspire me so much and seem like such a sweet person! thanks for all of your great videos!:)
I think it is amazing that you were able to realize not only that others don't come from the same walk in life, but the reasons why you were unable to realize that in the first place. This is something that I wish so many physicians that I work with took into consideration.
Target is the cure for everything! Hang in there Andrea we're all rooting for you ☺
Great video Andrea. I definitely agree with you. I'm coming towards the end of my first year of been a Dr. It can be very difficult and frustrating at times but I am so grateful for the priviledge. As you said we have to always remember the patient is our main focus. Also definitely be kind to your self. When we are kind to ourselves we become a better person towards our loved ones and also our patients. I am so grateful for the priviledge of been a Dr. I also want to be an Ophthalmologist :)
Totally LOVED this video, you are such an amazing insipiration for me, I am going to start Med School next year and your experience has helped me a lot to understand what I will be going through in the future.... Thank you!
You remind me so much of someone I know but I can't quite put my finger on who and it's been driving me nuts! Aside from that minor thing, I have had an absolute blast watching your videos! Thank you for dedicating precious free time to delivering such helpful, fun, quality content! :-)
You are such an inspiration. Your positive attitude is just amazing. Thank you so much Andrea!!!!
It is always a pleasure hearing you, you are so eloquent. I am fan, thanks for the inspiration!
You are such an inspiration!!! Thank you so much for the information you provide and for all the time you invest in helping pre-meds!! :)
Hey Andrea! Thank you so much for making videos interviewing different careers! I love them so much and I truly get to know the careers a lot more than what I can find and read online!! So I was wondering if you could PLEASE interview an anesthesiologist because I really want to found out more about the job and what they do on a daily basis, how demanding the job is, how to get there from high school, and just the overall details of the career!! Thank you so so much and I hope you can make a video on this!!
Very genuine video. Much appreciated.
we will comment again for u 😊 this is one of your best videos
thank you for such an open video! you are a great person!
A video with a neonatologist or a neonatal nurse practitioner would be awesome :) and I loved this video, I love when we get to see the opinionated side of you, the real you :) thanks for the video
This video was really great, one of your best! I would love if you posted more of this kind of opinion style videos :)
You are truly an inspiration to follow, thanks for the great tips and motivation. ☺
Loved this video! Actually, I love all of them. I want to become a doctor and your videos really motivate me😊
"And sometimes I get frustrated with patients who aren't using their eyedrops like I tell them toooo" LOL.
Love the video!! I really look up to you. :)
Can you do a video/interview on osteopathic medicine? I love your videos!
+Des Gomez A video on osteopathic medicine was uploaded already on her channel. If you search her video collection it should come up. :)
Hi Andrea!!
This question actually has nothing to do with this particular video (although I loved watching it on my study break!). Can you do a vlog about how comparing yourself to your classmates during medical school and the unspoken "competition" in med school? I'm in PA school and the cattiness has been unreal... but any tips you might have for dealing with not doing as well on an exam as you had hoped- or not doing as well as your friends did.. etc.. that would be great :) I think I just need reassurance!
Jordan Bicher I can definitely relate to this. Do you tell your classmates your grades? My classmates ask sometimes, but I definitely do not always want to tell them.
haha, I know that you're married but you are awesome..great personality !!
Andrea, your videos and consistency are seriously amazing! I know that you are into health and fitness, wondering in your experience and personal opinion, what are your thoughts on a vegan and/or plant-based lifestyle. I understand that the unique lifestyle of a physician-in-training may present unique challenges, such as long hours with few breaks, etc. Also, what led you to get most of your notes, eg. how you decide what notes to keep and do you regret it? I just feel bad spending so much on my education, then not being able to reference back to it later. What are your thoughts?
Hi Andrea! Love the videos! I am applying to medical school, as well as getting married. I'd be interested in the thoughts and feelings your husband has about you being a resident, and how he copes with your busy schedule.
It will all be worth it in the end 👍 🙌
Can you please talk about how long a Cardiothoracic and Orthopedic surgeon has to go to school for? Thank you!
Andrea would you please interview a Podiatrist!!! I am going to start school this August and I think it would be really helpful to find out some information and recommendations on this regard!!! Thank you!
Can you show us all your notes from medical schools? To see how much reading medical students do.
She showed her notes and in depth outlines of her notes in one of her study related videos. She also stated she threw majority of her notes away.
Danielle S
Okay. I'm kinda new to this channel.
+wesley ogilvie "to see how much reading medical students do"?
Great video! Keep up the good work!
I am just curious about one thing. Regarding the question of what if the patient couldn't afford the prescription, what was your answer at that time? Would your answer be different looking back at the scenario now?
I was just about to ask because I would like to know her response to that question too
Thanks a lot for sharing your experience with us and motivating us to fulfill our dreams!
I have a question, how do you deal with rude , supper worry and anxious patients?how do you make them calm down even for a little bit? and there's always something i wonder about...how do you make patients into trusting you and telling you the deepest secrets of their own?"conversation starters" ...
Thank you!
how did you start medical school at age 22? that is very impressive.
OMG i used to think that medicine was the last thing i want to study !
I love ur videos so inspiring and helpful thats so much .
I really need ask you about some stuff but i don't know how? I can't find ur email or anything
Love your energy! I feel like we would be good friends :D
I was I bit surprised when you mentioned that you studied abroad in undergrad. How did you manage to get all of your science credits and still take an entire semester off? Is this something that is feasible for most pre meds?
Thank you for the great videos Andrea. You are so inspirational.
She was an English major :)
Absolutely love your videos!
How much time per day did you spend on extra or non-compulsory study in pre-med/med?
Please do an interview with an orthopedic spine surgeon
you're awesome :)
You should do a interview with a neonatalogist
Can you vlog at the hospital, wanna see what being a resident is like
Can you do an interview with a neurologist?
What steps do you need to take to become a neonatologist?
how did your board exam go Andrea?
Hey Andrea, i am going to be giving my step 2 CK in a few months, any advice on what i should do? i know everyone says UWORLD/ Master the Boards, but anything else looking back you wished you had gone through or done?? thanks!
which university did you apply for pre-med studies ? and which medical schools ?
thanks in advance 😊
Hi Andrea. I'm an undergraduate student about to go into my junior year. I want to get some real experience in the health care system, so I was thinking about becoming a certified nurses assistant. Is this something that will give me a good understanding of medicine, and will it be useful for gaining experience.
If you have a 3.4 average in your freshman year of highschool, will that have great effect on my chances to getting into college/med-school?
Andrea why are you so beautiful.. Come on really ! your thoughts just wow me
how long does it take to become an ophthalmologist?
Did you get results of your board exam ?
You look like Alexis texas 😁❤️
Medical school took you SIX years?!
