[@NDMD]

Have you missed the 73Q series? :)

[@khalilahd.]

Yes!! Thank you for bringing it back!

[@kara-ponton]

Yes they are interesting

[@hannes9135]

a lot

[@brandonleskil4523]

You should do 73 questions with a Nephrologist next!

[@crystalmiyake8135]

Yes!

[@tempestpncr6335]

Wow Dr. Brown is seriously the definition of class. Literally operated on a kid for no money because he felt bad about how he was feeling. Big ups to you man

[@Dusballin]

Man, when Dr. Brown told the story about the gynecomastia case, it brought tears to my eyes. As somebody who struggled with their body image as a child, I can empathize with that kid and man I am not sure some people can completely comprehend how impactful that operation was for him. That was awesome.

[@bernardogavidia2030]

This is the exact path I want to take into becoming a plastic surgeon. I start General Surgery residency July 1st. How I wish I could shadow Dr. Brown before I start this journey. This interview PUMPED ME UP! awesome work!

[@doctorricky]

Bernardo. Message me anytime and we can chat. Happy to help give you advice.

Thanks man. Was so fun

Hearing him talk about doing surgery for free is really inspiring. I wanna be a spine surgeon some day and I know I will be doing pro bono surgeries often

[@anasays589]

Dr. Brown is so down to earth and inspiring. This was an amazing interview. I love his answer about having dinner with his 5 year old self. I love that he didn’t go with the typical/expected answers for your lighthearted questions.

[@lucyolson8890]

I STARTED CRYING DURING THE STORY ABOUT THE 17 YEAR OLD OMG. DR BROWN IS SO AMAZING.

[@drchrisgrayson2042]

Hello 👋 Beautiful Lady 🌹.. how are you ?

[@kyleejoaquin9987]

I was surprisingly happy when he mentioned the whole “psychiatrists with a knife” thing because I want to pursue plastic surgery but was struggling with picking an undergrad major. I ended up choosing psychology but was kinda iffy about it since i’m going into surgery.. now i’m really confident with my choice :)

[@azeminaay4971]

Dr Brown has such great energy and good vibes! God bless him and his fam! Thank you so much for sharing this

[@dpopkin1]

What a amazing interview and an amazing doctor. The story of the high school kid brought a tear to my eye.

[@doctorricky]

Me too. It was insane to be able to do it. I cried. It was a real moment.

[@dpopkin1]

@@doctorricky thanks for the reply. You have a great channel as well! I also do CrossFit.

Great to see another non-traditional entry route experience! Always more interesting than the pre-med straight out of high school!

[@rupeshboddapati]

Thank you very much! I am a medical student at the University of Toledo College of Medicine & Life Sciences, and currently, I am interested in pursuing plastic surgery as my future career, and this video provides some great inspiration!

[@kdyooper28]

To some this a petty issue but having a thyroid issue for 37 years: finally had my post Graves Disease lids fixed. (I 131 at the time) Love love love my plastic surgeon. I’m 68 now and ok with aging but not only don’t look crabby/ tired anymore BUT right eye had 50%, left 30% and had no idea how much field of vision I’d be getting back. Amazing. Grateful that’s all I’ve ever “needed”. Bless what you do. Retired nurse: 4 yrs scrubbed in out of 41 years. Dang managerial changes to scheduling. Lol Loved it.

[@RAC3504]

One of your best episodes. Honestly I was not expecting to like this one as much as I did. Dr Ricky is awesome. He gave such a good interview

[@doctorricky]

Appreciate you!

[@Yahyamoh362]

Thank you so much for the videos you don’t know how much it has helped me. I used to cry my self to sleep and your vids have inspired me I’m 2 year forensic toxicology student here in Australia

[@doctorricky]

Wow. Powerful. Love that.

[@vicwillis4295]

This was a good one, love to see someone who trained that much despite applying to med at 27. Love it! Could you get an oral surgeon on for those interested in dentistry and surgery?

[@doctorricky]

Yes oral surgery would be cool. I loved oral surgery in my training.

[@imap3smtp]

Great interview. I appreciated Dr. Brown's energy, honesty, and genuine love for the specialty.

What a lovely interview! I’ve been planning on going through with OMFS, after dentistry and medical school, this interview has brought me so much relief (I’ve been worried about the timeline and whether it would be worth it) Dr. Richard, thank you! (And thank you ND MD for the questions :))

Heck yeah Sana. Timeline is not that important if it is what you really want to do. I did not give it a second thought.

Dr. Richard I aspire to be like you, what an interview. I was not so sure about going into plastic surgery but you have convinced me. Thank you for the great interview. Andy thank you for delivering such great content you are helping a lot of us see our future path clearer ☺️

[@boozscha99]

This was an awesome episode! This surgeon is super cool and a great story teller

[@abijahdixon2771]

Awesome video as always! I was born with a bilateral cleft lip and palate so I've had a lot of operations😂 the last plastic surgeon that I had locally for this type of operation is an incredibly kinda man, my mom was telling me how all the nurses said they were nervous cause he was well known from down south(Im in Alaska) and that he was such a nice guy. I have adhd and it is so true that people on a NT spectrum think so differently, we are always wanting to learn, so I love these types of videos.

[@surgeon888]

Never ever stop with these questions 🎇🌟✨

[@doctorricky]

Stumped me in the music stuff 😂

[@davidlakhter]

Let's go! Looking forward to this. Last interview I saw w/ Dr. Brown was back in December, 2020 w/ Dr. Ryan Gray on his eShadowing series. Hoping to see him on the podcast too - he has a very interesting story!

[@doctorricky]

Thanks boss.

[@davidlakhter]

@@doctorricky for sure. Major respect to you for sharing your story about your sons. I have an older brother who has autism and I can totally relate! At first it is difficult managing the responsibility and you wonder why this fate is on you. But in taking up the responsibility, you come to understand they have a unique vantage point on the world and their innocence in that sense is pure. You really get to love them for who they are and in the process of helping them adapt to the world the best you can, there's a part of you that is better off for it. And that truly is a gift that you can't not appreciate.

[@maghen2972]

can someone do radiology then interventional rad then sub specialise in vasclar? or do u have to IM first to get into vascular IR?

[@davidlakhter]

@@maghen2972 in a sense interventional radiology/cardiology procedures are vascular procedures bc they intervene via venous/arterial systems. For interventional radiology there are many combined residency/fellowship programs. You can also go through radiology residency first. If you want to go into interventional neuroradiology, you can also start off in neurology residency, but it's not as common right now I believe. For interventional cardiology there isn't a combined residency/fellowship program yet, so you do complete IM, then cardio fellowship, and then interventional cardiologist fellowships. Other than these pathways to specialize in vascular procedures, vascular surgery is a separate field/training process. You can either go through general surgery track or a specialized vascular surgery track training to get there. You'll also be learning interventional procedures, but you will deal primarily with surgical cases related to the vascular systems.

[@maghen2972]

​@@davidlakhter thank u so much, I'm doing an elective rotation in IR the upcoming summer, I found out about the specialty thro dr mike and it seems like something I would enjoy. Hopefully that helps me figure out what pathway I want to take

[@davidlakhter]

5:30 yea interventional cardiology is also ~8 years bc it's usually 3 year IM, 3 years cardio, 2 years fellowship (now you generally do two fellowships to be competitive). Now it's probably more competitive because to get into a good cardiology residency/good fellowship thereafter, you'll prob complete a research year or chief residents year. So this path can be up there w/ neurosurgery in training duration 25:00 that's insanely lucky! and what a case for last day on trauma call 27:00 you should have Dr. Young on at some point to address their online beef haha 30:30 that's quite the unique answer! 38:18 yeah the business of medicine sucks 38:50 this is something people should learn about earlier on in undergrad before commiting to such a journey. this would aid in the moments when you may feel burntout/have imposter syndrome by helping you have focus and know who you are

[@kathleens.laroche754]

P.S. Dr. Brown, if you're not familiar with Temple Grandin, check her out. She's a very innovative amd multi-faceted autistic woman; one of the fascinating things she talks about is modes of thinking. For example, she thinks in pictures. Who knew?

I know Dr Richard Brown had a low GPA before he decided to do medicine, I was wondering what he did and how he was able to get into MD School. I know there’s DO’s but I want to apply myself for MD school first. If i do DO I wouldn’t have much of a shot at doing anything related to surgery.

[@ericgoodman4958]

I had enter thighplasty and I can tell you that the surgeon in Pennsylvania at Temple hospital dr. Wagner never removed the fact which meets between both of my thighs I don't understand it. She caught me all the way from my knees all the way up and around the u-shape to my other night and never did anything that really change the shapes of my legs. I live with that as well as a tummy tuck I had previously at Penn hospital where the doctor there decided that he was not going to do a proper tell me talk so he left a bowl of fat on my bladder area which is called the mums and now all I can do is cry because I can't have sex my boyfriend doesn't talk to me. And yes I'm using my boyfriend's account to post this cuz it's important to me no health insurance and this was done on Medicare. So now I have these three bowls of fat and eating and bouncing when I walk and I feel so disgusting I have to wash myself 8 to 10 times a day cuz it smells and I can't find one surgeon who can take care of both of these areas. I live in Pennsylvania and I'm so tired of having general surgeons instead of people who actually do certain surgeries has their profession. I don't know where to go and I don't know what to... I live in a world of absolute depression and I'm so tired of feeling frustrated and angry and I just don't know who to go to for help is there one surgeon in America who will reach out and help me..??? I can send you photos. Please I'm a human being and I just want to feel like a human being again.
