@@MedSchoolInsiders oncology please i have interest in it but i have a lot of misconceptions and myths about it(lack of information)
Med School Insiders best videos for medical school advice ever 🤩🤩
😂
😂😂😂😂😂😂
Guys, instead of complaining about him not doing anesthesiology or whatever, thank him for uploading this video. I’m sure anesthesiology will come up pretty soon.
I don’t see anyone complaining about him not doing anesthesiology
what ? I saw a few comments, one said “Why are you overseeing anesthesiologist?”
vixplays I think he just made a “so you want to be an anesthesiologist” comment💀
Yep
Being an ophthalmologist is the best! What other field gives you instant gratification and the ability to improve someone's quality of life in a snap of a finger? Cataract surgery is super satisfying. If you avoid saturated areas like California, NYC, Boston, Philly, etc. you can do very well financially (even today).
Being an opthalmologist is the best,
But the road to being an opthalmologist is something not called the best
Also I would add that I interviewed for general ophthalmology in MOSTLY large cities and had no issues finding opportunities with good salary: LA, NYC, DC etc. It just depends on the market at the time. There is high demand. Starting offers are lower, but after 1 to 2 years salaries can range from 370k to 700k depending on specialty. Lifestyle is great. There are lots of surgeries. Our waiting rooms are jam packed because let's face it vision is really important. I'm going into oculoplastics.
Hey Dr. Nate, as an incoming M1 what can I do in medical school specifically to make myself competitive for ophthalmology? Any research in particular? Thank you!
Jordan thoughts on glaucoma fellowship?
Witch speciality’s get paid the most?
@@jordashw6541 it's surgical retina usually but it really depends. There are academic surgical retina guys making less than really busy general ophthalmologists in private practice.
Further, to negate an opinion up top is that the number of cataracts is becoming less and less a medium for making money due to the dropping reimbursement rate. A lot of the money making comes down to what you will end up selling in the clinic, be it meibomography or premium iols
Why are you going into oculoplastics? Thanks
waiting for Anesthesiologists... ITS COMING!!! I CAN FEEL IT !! So excited !
Exactly how did ophthalmology get a video before anesthesiology
Jordan Dunmore ikr 🤣 I would’ve never expected that
Jordan Dunmore Because Ophthalmology is cooler
Anesthesiology had waaaaaaay more requests.
100th likeee lol
Please do "so you want to be an oncologist?"
Next episode we request you want to be on oncologist
It would’ve been a lot more interesting had you said something about the topic of ophthalmology from this video
i guess it is pretty off topic but does anybody know of a good website to stream new tv shows online ?
@Ramon Avi Try FlixZone. You can find it on google :)
Please cover "So you want to be a Psychiatrist" for the next topic :)
I'm dying to know why psychiatrists have such a high divorce rate, so yes, please do this!
however it doesn’t pay much D:
Yes 100%
Instead of asking him to do something else like anesthesiology or other shit at least praise him for giving us the info he gives us in a video no matter what the subject matter is. Shut up, now
My dad is one
Ophthalmology is a great balance between Medicine and Surgery for me 👍 I would definitely recommend it!
Is it really worthwhile?
I love how in depth these videos go, you really explain every aspect of this field well. Thank you!
Wow! I can tell a great amount of effort was put into this video and I appreciate it as an aspiring ophthalmologist!
Is it hard course?
I always loved ophthalmology and it is between the top 3 specialties that I want to get when I graduate.
It feels like you can experience a lot of different medical approaches while being confined to a certain area of the body which is the most fascinating organ in my opinion plus most of the devices and operations used are science fiction and they are still evolving rapidly too.
It has a relatively very good work-life balance and generally well paid.
I always thought ophthalmology sounded boring but this video taught me how intricate it is!
Last time i was this early Step 1 still had a 3 digit score
This is the most valuable page on YT for me right now!
Hey everyone, I would love seeing other specialities as well, including anesthesiology. But let’s appreciate the videos he is making for us now. The videos are extremely informative and probably take a lot of time and effort to create. Thank you Dr. Jubbal for the videos!
Agreed. I'm sure he'll get to all of them eventually
Could you do a "So you want to be a Cardiothoracic surgeon" please? Thank you for all these videos!
This is honestly the coolest medical specialization I have ever seen!
Oh my gosh, I’ve been waiting for this video for so long. Thanks Dr. Jubbal!
I was lucky enough to shadow an ophthalmologist in high school. Saw nearly all of these procedures and surgeries over the course of multiple days. My favorite was a Pars Planar lensectomy/vitrectomy (correct me if I spelled that wrong). I also saw probably close to a hundred cataract surgeries and various stents put in for glaucoma. Seeing diabetes affect the eye was especially interesting. Learning about anti-VEGF and diabetic retinopathy was an eye-opener, pun intended. It was one of the experiences that really solidified my desire to pursue medical school. I am going into an accelerated medical program next year, not sure what I want to do yet but I’m excited to see what is out there!
Off topic, but here it goes anyway:
Thank you so much, Med School Insiders!
I have no intention of ever going to Med School, but you have helped me so much.
I'm a sophomore in high school and we just got our end of the year grades. I've had a lot of problems with my health all my life and was behind at least 2 years in school. I was really sad and barely passed Freshman year, but I found your channel over the summer. I went from D’s last year to 4 A’s and a 2 high B’s this year.
Not only have you saved my grades and taught me how to have some structure in my schedule, but you gave me hope and a way to overcome challenges in my life, even though I'm only in high school.
I can't thank you enough for all you've done for me!
wow thats some improvements. wp!
Hi! Phacoemulsification is currently a very popular form of cataract surgery. I would love to hear more about the newer methods since there are several groundbreaking advancements in cataract surgery. One example would be the catalyst laser from johnson and johnson, which essentially "softens" the lense, allowing for fast suction of the lens out. Then the new artificial lens is inserted in. This is awesome stuff! Would love to hear more about it!
This is such an amazing video. This is the fourth time that I have come back to it because I am just so facinated and this vid is so well done. Tysm i think i found my specialty❤❤
Thank you so much for making this! I had to get a laser procedure because retinal detachment was a possibility since I got many retinal holes in my eye. That got me interested in the eye field and this video helped me even more!!
please do neurologist!!!!
+
please!
He did it I think
VFC gameing he didnt
he did neurosurgery
This is very comprehensive. I can imagine it being really helpful for people who are med students
Thank you so much for uploading this video!
I could never be a medical student or physician. However, modern medicine is amazing and fascinating. As a very near-sighted person who also had a preventive laser procedure for lattice degeneration, I’m thankful for these professionals.
Optical* Coherence Tomography is truly cutting edge. It's even decently new to us in the bench science world, so the fact that an Optho can employ its use in practice shows how innovative the field is.
I can see how rewarding optho can be. Having LASIK was one of the best decision I ever made!
Loved the video as always! Optho is a really neat field. Love the detail-oriented hands-on specialties.
Check ENT then, it is also details-oriented hands on specialty, I believe that you might love it
Thank you for the video! Keep up with the great work!
Great video as always. Please cover all medical specialties for this series!
Can you pleaseee do “So you want to be an OB/GYN?”
Yes pleaseee
Instead of asking him to do something else like anesthesiology or other shit at least praise him for giving us the info he gives us in a video no matter what the subject matter is. Shut up, now
Awesome video Dr. Jubbal thank you so much! Please do cardiothoracic surgery next if possible 🙏
I’ve been waiting for this! Thanks!
Please, next --> DERMATOLOGY :)
I thought he made one about this already
@@shelovesherfood5678 no
Instead of asking him to do something else like anesthesiology or other shit at least praise him for giving us the info he gives us in a video no matter what the subject matter is. Shut up, now
Thank you so much for uploading a really informative video and can't wait to see another one.
Could you do "So you want to be a pediatrician?"
YESS!!!
It would’ve been a lot more interesting had you said something about the topic of ophthalmology from this video
Been waiting for this since forever. Great job there 👍 can't wait for the 'day in the life' video
Definitely interested in ophthalmology, thank you for the wonderful video 😊👀
I would love to see a video for Otolaryngology. I love this btw!
I really do wait for Radiology video! We have a lot of things to know about this especiality and what we can expect to its future!
ahhh i needed this so much! thank you!💕
Let's see one of these for psychiatry, radiology, and anesthesiology
Thank you! We appreciate you!!!
THANK YOUUUUUU!!!!!! I SMILED SO HARD WHEN I SAW THIS!
Lmaoo
Thank you dr.jubal for you efforts in the so you want to be
Can you do general surgery please? I love and appreciate the videos you are making for us during these difficult times.
I want to be ophthalmologist because there is not so much nudity. I can't stand smells and bodily fluids.
Thank you this series is soo helpful ❤️
OMGGGGGGGGGGGGG! I am doing the ENARM in September (basically the mexican USMLE) and I applied to ophthalmology.
Thank you so much for this!
Thank you so much for the great helpful work, I’m looking to be an ophthalmologist one day when i finish my med school ❤️
Good luck!
Great video! Thank you.
I was born with near sightness and nystagmus, it was so bad that i wasnt reaching developmental milestones, that is until i went as a young todler to an opthomologist and got diognosed and got glasses and then began reaching milestones. So I thank Optho for that
Could you please do "So you want to be a pediatrician?" I would really appreciate it😊
can you do "so you want to be an OB/GYN?" at sometime?
Megan Fitchett YESSS!!
Yess
Yessss
Yes!!!
3:40 i have had this procedure, to stop tears in my retina from my lattice degeneration. I have had it in one eye without anesthesia and it is my top ranked most painful experience of my life, #10. Followed by sprains to my arm and spine at #9, then by fracture to my ankle bone by getting crushed between a bicycle and oldsmobile at #8.
I’ve been waiting for this!
So glad to hear you will be covering scope of practice. Docs and patients are absolutely under attack from midlevel encroachment. I love NP,PA and OD’s, but legislation does not = Education. These national organizations have purely selfish interests that will hurt patients
Finally, was waiting for this.
All I have wanted is ophthalmology since high school! I start med school this August and I can't wait! The only thing is like you mentioned I still feel like I wont be doing anything ophthalmology related for ANOTHER 4 years until I get into residency. And then at that point I might feel like I rather do a specialty that is more based of things you learn in medical school. But who knows?! We will see :)
Hey! I am currently applying to med school and ophtho has been my dream for the longest time. Would you want to get in touch? :)
Why opthalmology though?
Fantastic! Thank you!!!
The fact this has lower views than the other specialists just proves it’s less competitive and I love it
Don't go into that illusion. It's one of most competitive line to get in. Though comp after been a oothal is low as volume is too high
Otolaryngology would be interesting!
This is interesting 😯. I hope you'll make a video about Psychiatry soon ☺️. Thank you for your hard work! 😁
Can you do " So you want to be a Hematologist" , please
I was waiting for this!!
I can’t wait for the Cardiothoracic one! I cant wait 😊
Thank you for this wonderful and informative video! It has been my dream to become an ophthalmologist for a long time, but as an IMG, I thought it would be impossible for me to get accepted into residency. Still, this video reassured me this is what I want to specialize in, so I’m going to work even harder for it!
how much years of school
how much years in general from everything and at what point do you start making money
I'm not a med student, but medicine is fascinating!
Dr. Juball, great video, but from the previous comments I can conclude that the next videos should be as follows
1. Anesthesiologists
2. Radiologists
3. Pediatrician
4. Gastroenterologists
5. PM&R
Thank you for uploading great videos.
Can you do one on pediatric surgery? Your videos have been an amazing help!!
Thank you for this, I was waiting for this.
Hopefully anaesthesia is next. 😊
Great video explanation! Can you please do a psychiatry or even neurology video next
Hey could you do a Video on ENT Doctors and Maxillofacial Surgeons? I feel like the surgical aspects are often underestimated 😁
I know that Ophthalmology and Optometry share many similarities, but could you create a, "So you want to be an Optometrist" or a "Day in the life as an Optometrist." -Thanks!
I believe this series focussed on the specialties of medical doctors, whereas optometry is entirely different in its pathway
@@DDdd-ms9onthey also did videos on dentists and nurses so optometry wouldn’t be a crazy thing to ask
@@chloebee2032 yeah, though at the time of my comment a year ago they hadn’t
All that and an ophthalmologist gets their own personal servant called Jonathan
How dare you call Jonathan the loyal scribe a servant 😱
Anesthesiologist next please!!! And thank you so much for these incredible videos.
Could you do a video on Sports Medicine!! Love your videos by the way, very informative!!!!
Can you do on” so you want to be general surgeon “.
I would love to see "so you want to be a dermatologist" next!
“so you want to be an interventional radiologist” next please!
Great Video! Could you make a video about doctors who want to work in the USA?
Im in Europe(Germany) and think about moving to the usa, I would like to know how difficult it is to get work there, the costs I am fancing and what most doctors do become when the go there? Like an overview about the matter to know if it is worth to go to the usa from europe or not. I would really appreciate it, I guess there are other doctors who have the same question.
Thanks!
Thank you
A physician with a focus on the identification, management, and avoidance of conditions affecting the eyes is known as an ophthalmologist. A variety of eye disorders can be diagnosed and treated by ophthalmologists.
Make Cardiothoracic surgeon next. I remember it winning a poll a few weeks ago
I’d love to see you cover urology next!
Please, post a video about neurology.
Your videos are great and very informative! :)
I LOVE YOUR CHANNEL ! PLEASE DO ONE VIDEO ON DERMATOLOGY!! 🥳🥳
Can you do a video on internal medicine and it’s Subspecialties in a video or series of videos. Loved the cardiology video btw
I’m on the radiology/anesthesia train for future videos! Also loved this video! Lots of good information ☺️
Please do Otolaryngology, Psychiatry, Gastroenterology, Dermatology, Podiatry, and Dentistry please!
Thanks you so much Sir 🙏 for such kind of video.. 😊
“So you want to be PM&R Doctor” please
Hey I love your videos !! I was wondering if you could cover “so you want to be a” Sonographer and/or Radiologist !? Thanks so much ! 💓
Could you do one about "So you want to be a Cardio thoracic Surgeon"? I'm not sure which specialty to choose, but that one got me the most :D
Cn you do a video abt pediatrics next? I'm considering to be one
YESSSSSSSSSSSSS
can you please do "so you want to be a sports medicine doctor" including primary care and salaries for the next topic please.
Woah. This specialty is kind of awesome.
your political compass is based as fuck
You should do an optometry one!!!
