Dang!!!😂😂🤣🤣 I was born in 2002 when u started this journey of medicine, and now am graduating high school and you still have a year of residency. Pretty mind boggling.
Respect for making the best out of a tough situation 💪
Thanks man!
Amazing story Dr. Webb, you really did defy the odds!!! You inspire me everyday to keep on reaching my goals and become a physician. Keep on inspiring the youth!
Thank you!
Thank you, Dr. Webb. I am a medic in the army and have actually just accepted a slot as a fight medic. Similarly to what you did, I am also going to school.
I was a bit disheartened to hear that your medical military background didn't help your med school applications. I will be approximately 30 years old by the time I finish my pre-med degree and finish my military contract. I feel that I'm a bit on the older side of going to medical school, but I'm glad to hear that you stuck through it despite being some years behind your peers.
Thank you, again.
Thanks for your service! Follow your dreams no matter what!
Please be safe my future wifey :D
PA school is a great route as well! 2-3 years of school and no required residency. only reason I would say to consider med school instead is if you're sure you want to do something like surgery. PA schools love what they call "patient contact experience" so your medic experience would give you a huge advantage. They value it much more highly than med schools because PA have less formal training whereas med school they know you'll be extensively trained. worth looking into!
A bit of a late reply but military applicants have a 61% acceptance rate compared to the national 42%. It will help.
Inspirational is an understatement! From one veteran to another, thanks for sharing your story! My struggles were similar to yours. However, like you I remained persistent and will be starting dental school in the fall! To everyone pursuing their dreams, remain hopeful and always put your best foot forward! You can do it!
Thank you! Good luck in Dental school! You will do great! Study hard!
Dr. Webb your story is Amazing...Your Family must be Sooo Proud of the Man you became...God Bless You...i inspire to be like you!
Thank you! You can do it! Keep up the great work!
You’re such an inspiration! I pray that my little boys grown up to understand the importance of perseverance even in the face of statistics; I pray that they persevere against all odds! Thanks for sharing your amazing story!
I swear to god you are one of my primary inspirations that keeps me going down the long and hard medical path. It's honestly amazing what you did to arrive at where you are at now. Thank you so much for putting out all these amazing videos.
Thank you! Keep going! 🙏🏾
we live in section 8. very low income. I thank God my daughter won the Parkland magnet engineering program lottery. She's graduating high school w an engineering associates degree
That's awesome!
@@Ahn-mu3db I'm so proud she is doing college in HS. She will graduate with engineering degree and hs diploma. My other daughter w autism has degree vet asst. but cant find a job. Bless u Amanda.
The camera quality of this video is amazing! It looks like a movie, haha. Dr. Webb's story is also inspiring. He went through a lot and deserves everything that he worked for.
Thank you!
A rocket went over your head, landed, and did not explode. A higher power intended for you to be a Doctor and had a plan for you. Stories like these always remind me that no matter what we as humans go through, we have to keep pushing. We have a purpose to make the world a better place with our existence and presence. Thank you for sharing your story; as a person of color who intends to also become a Doctor I am so happy to have stumbled upon your youtube page. It's so good to see people who look like me in the profession.
Thank you Doctor Webb. I just completed 7 years in the Navy and currently work as a Respiratory Therapist. I intend to follow in your footsteps. Thanks for the advice about there being different paths for everyone to possibly achieve the same goal!
Awesome! Thanks for your service. Keep in touch
Haven't even watched it yet... But I know it's gonna be awesome!!
You already know
@@NikhilGodbole4440 lool was not expecting you here
Thank God for keeping you alive. God bless your Hustle bro. Such a gentleman. Great inspiration
Thanks. I appreciate it!
Wow beyond inspirational! A true testament to “you can do ANYTHING you put your mind to”
Dr. Webb , your story was so so real and inspiring. I was on my first 15 month deployment in 2003. I was based right behind from you, at LSA Anderson. It was right next the passenger terminal. I just retired, Now I’m doing a career change into medical field as a nurse. It’s weird starting over due to my age and that I’m going to college with my daughter, a future physiologist. In the same sense I feel unstoppable. So don’t stop motivating us. Great video
I pray my son keeps his passion. He hasn’t faced much diversity in life but he works as hard as any for his future in medical. God bless you for seeing over every obstacle as a young soldier and staying with the path .
Dr. Webb you are such an inspiration... Many blessings brother!
Lots of different paths to get to where you want to go... I love that. Thanks Dr Webb you are a constant inspiration.
Thank you! 🙏🏾
You are a helluva fella for talking to pre meds, really helps to get them motivated to become docs. God bless you.
Thanks! 🙏🏾
Even though you have completed your goal. Congratulations sir. You are an inspiration to us all! Keep making videos. You are empowering others, which is absolutely amazing. Thank you so much for giving us hope with your amazing story.
Thank you, I appreciate it!
Congratulations Dr. Webb. I am a lifelong Shreveport resident myself. Went to Hillsdale elementary school, on the same stretch of greenwood Rd near the fair grounds, Midway & Fair Park.
I'm 43 yr old now, and quit a 20 yr career to go back to school.
It's great to hear about a hometown success story. Best of luck to you.
Awesome man! Port City!
Extraordinary standards + Rituals = success... u make becoming a doctor look easy! Congratulations on all ur success!
woooow Shreveport, Louisiana ! Me too ! That’s so crazy to me but growth & hard work is so amazing!! I’m working on my bachelors in TX now 🙂
Great work! I’m a PreMed student now and I absolutely look at your content for motivation. From one BlackMan to another. Thanks for everything, Dr. Webb.
Dr. Webb thank you for your service. -from US Army Vet
I really respect what you do Dr.
An amazing and inspirational story. Thank you Dr.Webb!!
You have such an amazing life story. Humbled by your journey
I am just now running into your videos and I just want to say thank you for being you. I recently just transitioned out of the military and I am working hard to be in a Medical career field as well as a M.D. Your videos are keeping me motivated on this long difficult journey.
This is extremely inspirational. Well done Dr. Webb. God bless you and your journey. Your advice and videos have impacted this future ortho surgeon more than you know!
What an inspiration. I have tears in my eyes when you started talking about your family. You are the most honorable person I have ever seen in my entire life.
You are a rock star to those students, how inspiring. Have you ever contacted one of the programs that did not admit you to medical school. What a mistake they made. Great story, best wishes on your continued journey.
Omgee!! I’m from Baton Rouge, LA. You’re such an inspiration. Even though I’m not in a medical program, you inspire me to work harder and study harder to become a Licensed Social Worker. You’re such an amazing inspiration.
Great talk! I'm a senior in high school and your hard work is so inspiring.
You’re such an inspiration! Keep posting these videos
Simply amazing, thank you for sharing with all of us!
You are one of the most inspiring individuals I have ever heard. Thank you for sharing.
Thanks a ton for this video Dr.Webb, Really lovely story! This story revived the motivation and dream to become a doctor inside me. Thanks a lot! I will try my best to fullfill my dreams.
Unbelievably amazing. Truly blessed from above. Really amazing.
Much respect for you, above all odds you shined and became successful 👍
Powerful story! Thank you for sharing!
Dr. Webb, thank you for your service, and best wishes with the rest of your residency and your fellowship! I'm 2 months from graduating law school, so I needed to hear your advice
Awesome! Congrats on finishing and thanks for watching!
Zero dislikes. Nobody can hate on you. Respect!
Thanks! I appreciate it! 🙏🏾
Great Video Dr. Webb. I liked how you mentioned the denial letter and how up to this day you use it as a form of motivation. I wonder if this particular school that denied you now knows how extremely successful you turned out to be!!!!!!!
Proud of your accomplishments
Wow Dr. Webb, your story is amazing, thanks so much for sharing.
Great story. Enjoyed every minute. Glad you were able to overcome the statistics and became someone great. I'm sure your parents are proud. Thank you for sharing your story. Very inspiring
Thank you for motivating us!!!
I thought you were cool.... now I know it, I believe it💯
man, I feel so much privileged to be able to watch this type of content with someone so much dedicated and capacitated.
thank you for this!
thank you so much... you’re a fighter. incredible. such an inspiration.
Thanks! 🙏🏾
Heck yeah doc! Can’t wait for you to be in Plano! Wondering if possible to one day meet you/shadow you. Thanks for all the videos.
Dr. Webb I loved your story!! You should write a book about your life.
Thank you! My book about my life can be found here:
www.amazon.com/Overcoming-Odds-Louisiana-terrorism-successfully/dp/0990983307
I left that room feeling different! Thank you doc.
This is great. I love it.
Really inspiring!
Amazing story thank you Dr. Webb for your service to our great country! You are an inspiration sir and your story is amazing! Nice to see you inspiring young minds and helping them move forward in medicine!
Thanks!!
Great Great am so delighted Sir
Dr. Webb thank you so much for posting this. You have inspired me tremendously as I enter my first year of med school. I truly hope to do the same for our community in the same way that you do while demonstrating excellence in our careers!
Wish I had met a role model like you during my premed years like the kid at the end of the video. Def means a lot to even see someone who looks like you with similar experiences (minus going to war) in the profession
Thanks, I appreciate it! Good luck in medical school. It goes by fast!
@@antoniowebbmd thank you. Hard to imagine at the moment but I know you're right!
You did amazing! I am really proud of you! Thank you for inspiring me!
Thank you! 🙏🏾
As a Louisiana resident, thank your this insight it’s sad state of affairs for our state especially in regards to health, and prison
Thank you Nick!
I am studying for STEP and wow, thank you for reminding of hard work, and how it pays off
good luck for your STEP exam !
I love this video. I'm a medic in the AF. So inspiring!
wow you are an inspiration. I took a long route in life too and became an ND after finding the love for helping people move towards healing (MD is out of reach due to the educational system here if you are not from a certin so and so background and DO/OMM dosent exist in my country - which I loved so much). But anyway what i find inspiring, your journey was way longer than what I can imagine. Anytime in the future if i feel that Im tired by this career, Ill remember your life story and fight on (albeit ND being different in nature of practice compared to being MD)
One of the best and most inspiring speeches I have ever come across!!! You inspire me to work damn hard Sir!!! Respect & Salute to your great journey and efforts!!! I want to instill this kind of passion and burning desire in me what you have!!! Thank you for sharing your amazing story sir. I am definitely going to read "Overcoming the Odds" to know the entire story. Thank you once again! Please keep motivating!!! Cheers!!!
Great inspiring, thanks
:) Such an inspiring story! I wish I could have turned my med-tech experience into something as valuable about what you do!
Great video 👍 congrats on your success very proud of you👍🙂
You're an inspiration Dr. Webb! Very similar life here. Grew up dirt poor, and many of my peers went to jail. I went into the Army. I did pre med classes at a local community college. The Army was both a blessing and a curse. It took 7 years, and a career change to get my degree. I'm now an RN living a comfortable life, but having gotten that experience I'm now about to get back on that train and start my Med School journey soon.
Would be amazing to see you do more outreach lectures to Americas youth; both black and white. Show them how nothing shackles you down or holds you back but you and your own decisions.
Thank you, I appreciate that. And thank you for your service as well!
I couldn’t handle the amount of time or gore or stress that comes with the medical field but it interests me and I respect those who follow that path. You remind me of the orthopedic Surgeon who saved my leg
So much respect Dr! Im hopeful
Major respect from a fellow USAF Vet who has a similar past. My road led me to Clinical Psychology.
You are inspirational! Incredible journey!
Thanks, I appreciate it!
Wow. I am truly amazed at what you overcame! I just subscribed to your channel and purchased your book. Speechless is an understatement..... Just wow.
Thank you!! And welcome 😁
What an amazing story you have. Tremendous respect for you Sir!
Thank you, I appreciate it!
You have such an amazing story! Would love to hear how you dealt with losing/maintaining hope in the face of failure and/or repeated failure
Hi Dr Webb. I too am from S’port. I also went to Hollywood MS on Cliff St. I went and graduated from the Home of the Knights…..Woodlawn. Congratulations….
Always inspirational seeing a brother doing well and not rapping or dancing
Nice lecture and great video quality
Thanks for your Service and Continued Service. I am Proud of you and Being a War Veteran too makes me that much more proud. I hate I didn't continue my Medical pursuit but Being a Gulf War 1 Combat Veteran my health has ran out of fuel. Anyway, Keep going! Semper Fi, Can Do and 1*SRT/TAC
Thank you and thank you for your service!
Wow your story is so inspiring i hope your mom recovers from drug addiction. I just helped a best friend of mines recover
Wow!! This was ok good, I wanted to like it twice! (The in the background towards the end was surprising, I wanted the presentation to continue)
Thank you very much Dr.Webb!🙏🏾
Very inspiring and amazing story! Can you please make a video about the lifestyle and working hours of an orthopedic surgeon after residency?
WOW, Love your story!Thank you because I almost gave up! Submitted applications to Nursing, PA, Pharmacy but withdrew them all over the last 10 years because my heart won't let me give in. God led me to your page. Thank you man for sharing your story!
Awesome! Keep going and NEVER give up 💪🏾
I work in Tech and have career aspirations to continue growing in my field but I go to his channel for motivation!
Great job😉
Beautiful story
I admire you a lot mate!
I’d like to shake your hand one day!
Thank you sir. I'm so proud of you.

Our stories are pretty similar as far as our upbringing, hearing your story gives me hope that i will achieve my goals in life.
That’s music to my ears! My main goal is to show others their full potential through my story. Thanks for watching!
Read your book Dr. Webb, you are truly an inspiration to those who come from low-income neighborhoods and have served in the military. Love your content and looking to take similar steps as you. Well cheers and hope to meet you one day Dr.!
🙏🏾
Good for you
