6 Months as a Private Practice DOCTOR - Life Update

[@Zubicob]

Your "developing close relationships with staff" reason is very telling to who you are as a person. I used to work for a private practice specialist who would openly demean staff members behind their backs, to their faces, and in front of patients. He thought his degree/training made him inherently above them, and entitled him to treat them like garbage. He was an extreme narcissist who only saw staff members as tools to further the practice and feed his ego, not as human beings trying to provide for themselves and their families. As a medical student now, I never want to lose sight of how we enter this profession because we want to help people and develop relationships with them. How we interact with people who we technically have "power" over, whether they be patients or staff, is a direct reflection of our character and investment in helping others rather than just ourselves. Keep up the good work!

Just finished my first semester, pre-med, and you are one of my greatest inspirations to keep going!

[@DrCellini]

Thanks for the kind words!

[@yasinyildirim4686]

It’s really nice to see you making these videos showing that it really is great and rewarding at the end of all of this!

You’re inspiring and educating a generation of future doctors, myself included. More doctors need to be transparent about their work!! Thank you Doc.

[@DrCellini]

Wow, thank you! I think it's important to show the next generation the real sides of medicine

U R the perfect example of the benefits to delayed gratification. We live in an instant society where we want everything now & miss the bigger picture. Kudos 2 U!!

You worked hard for a long time to enjoy your time more. I’m so glad to see how happy you are.

[@hadassahlives2060]

I can so relate to this because I’m officially in a a space where I can travel as a nurse after finishing nursing school and working full time for not enough pay. It feels good to be able to travel and I love traveling so I’m with you with the every other month.

Dr Cellini, you are the best! I’m a first year med student and I love how real you are about the process! I can’t wait to have autonomy and respect ✊ …cheers, and happy new year 🥂

[@forevereveru]

Question about the vacation: I remember you mentioned about 10-14 weeks per year, I was wondering if that’s on top of the weekends and holidays? Or that includes the missed weekends and holidays..? Because I am assuming that you and your partner physicians have to work weekends/holiday shifts right? But either way, lots of vacation is absolutely amazing 😎

[@anonymousperson1065]

I’m an orthopedic spine suegros here is Iowa, I wish I went to radiology but I thought it would be taken ove rey si in the future. At my work I only get 6-8 weeks of vacation a year. Should I quit? Or find somewhere else?

Another great video 👏🏼 While I'm not a med student (I'm a PhD candidate), my husband is. So I watch your videos to better understand his journey and future needs. Your videos help me know what to expect and how to be a supportive wife. I realize a lot of it depends on the specialty and country of residence but it's still nice to learn from you. So thanks, doc! P.s. I really enjoy when your wife makes an appearance - it's always helpful to hear her perspective :)

If medical students got the training to run the business side of medical care then there wouldn’t be a need for the insurance companies.

Hello, I don't know if you Also do pediatric diagnosis but I wanted to know if you have ever diagnosed battered children through X-rays? And what is the classic management of these cases ?

[@Km-ri8yt]

In my first year of dental school, I can completely see why vacation time is your favorite thing. They really give us no time off, it’s rather depressing sometimes. But everyone in these fields goes through it I guess, thanks

[@ioutubeurreswiss1336]

Hi, could you make a video about the events you missed, how did you deal with the sacrifices you had to make in activities next to your studies? How did you deal with the sacrifices you had to make in activities next to your studies, friendships that were hard to maintain, etc.? How did you deal with that?

[@hundy6521]

I swear this is a genuine question, but how do physicians have full autonomy when the average work week is like 60 hours, and neurosurgeons having like 80 hour work weeks?

[@DrCellini]

I don’t understand what hours worked have to do with autonomy?

[@tomare6479]

full autonomy not the kind you're thinking Hundy

[@a33m3a]

full autonomy as in making medical decisions, not freedom to do what you want with your time.

[@michaeljurasek]

Our healthcare system and culture of medicine persists by breaking the backs of the good natured people called to this profession. Autonomy in this sense only means autonomy within the four walls of the hospital. And (if we’re being honest) administration and insurances will dictate more care than you think. I’m glad that doc finds value in his position, but it should be said that many specialties don’t enjoy the same rewards. I can’t count the number of emergency physicians and hospitalists I know who go to work to grind out a shift among an ever changing milieu of new staff and new patients; the relationships lost along the way.

[@emiledin2183]

@@DrCellini Oh I thought you meant autonomy with your work schedule, not decision making. In tech, you have a lot of autonomy when it comes to when you want to work during the day etc..

I know you said you invest your paychecks, but did you splurge on anything at all? Like something you wouldn't have considered spending the money on previously? Also what lights do you have behind your monitors?

[@nancyfeldman3464]

Benefits well earned, for sure. But did you say a vacation once a month ?

[@SoloJedi_]

Not sure if you said in another video BUT how did you feel your first day/week of being an attending and no longer having a "supervising attending"? I know you went through residency and fellowship but initially did you feel scared or want support?

[@One_Shot21]

Idk why he never mentions how much he makes now as an attending in his specialty? Being a financial education person, and someone who tells us the numbers for the real estate investment he makes and the earnings, why not share the doctor earnings? Plus he shared the earnings for the doctor in training, but not for the doctor after training is done? Lol all he says its that he feels "fairly compensated" or something like that. Never gives out a number.
