Another Doctor Leaves Medicine for Entrepreneurship | Surgeon Dropout Reacts

[@kevinjubbalmd]

I’m planning to make a follow-up video discussing the risks of leaving medicine. What topics would you like to see me discuss? 🤔

[@cathy9279]

Dr J. I have been strongly advised by the doctors I work with or did I ndergrad with to not pursue medicine but they don’t know my financial situation, where I live, I cannot make it as a dietitian, personal trainer, diabetes educator. I get paid what I made 17 years ago!!!! Physician provides me with guaranteed income, challenging and rewarding work, and benefits that I cannot get as a small business owner. Everyone’s situation is different and people cannot just random not write or say what n social media what they might think, everyone’s situation is so different, just like no one diet or fitness routine works for all!!!

Discuss the current USNWR trend amongst law and medical schools, the relation of them dropping out of the rankings associated with the upcoming AA reversal, and possible outcome of holistic admissions with a "optional" MCAT.

[@whazzas5023]

It has to be said, the salary of doctor even the lowest paid specialty is in the 90-95th percentile of US income. If your specialty offers part time it is one of the most sure fire ways to trade your time for money at a high rate and potentially find a good quality of life. Of course, one of the largest risks of leaving is losing sense of identity and meaning. When you leave medicine I can only assume your medical skills and knowledge rapidly disintegrate. It can be very distressing having power and prestige in the office/hospital one day and then just being a random person the next day.

He actually has a channel over 200 k called “Tutorías Medicina interna”.. I think he’s on the right path 😊

[@M.S.1.5]

19:48 actually this needs another video in detail. Your and Ali (& now Santiago) KZbin videos gives the impression that every who leaves medicine goes on to live a better life which isn't always the case so could you please make a another video, with a guest if possible who regrets leaving medicine and what they did after that.

[@dry.colton]

I agree with this idea, hope to see something like this.

[@vans4lyf2013]

Why would he do that lol? Why does it matter if some people regret their decision to leave or some are incredibly happy with their decision to leave? If you want to do medicine do it for you, not anyone else.

[@dry.colton]

@@vans4lyf2013 it's called getting a different perspective.

[@acd1168]

That's fine. You all can quit and help those of us that want to be in medicine, do it well through your entrepreneurship. Bless you!

[@partyrocker24x7]

I always love the way you try to explain the things as objectivitiely as possIble always showing both sides of the coin. Pursuing medicine demands its fair share of sacrifices to make and when one is in middle of the grind, its common to doubt oneself think if an alternative career path might be better. However, when you turn to youtube for taking perspective from those who did, its hard to escape the survivorship bias. For the sake of objectivity, could you make a video sharing the stories of people you know who left medicine and it didn’t turn out as what they expected. I think it will be very insightful and give very an important perspective which is missing currently from youtube. It will help people facing this decision see both sides of coin with more clarity.

[@prisce7642]

I loved this reaction video, not standing from a point of judgement but from empathy ❤ Plus, great pieces of advice Dr.

[@tehmeed337]

i feel like being a doctor has always been glamorised until you actually become one. growing up (and even to this day) doctor has another respect in the society, they are not seen as equals with other professions but more superior, especially in Asia. doctors are known to be filthy rich and from the far they seem to have it all..until you decide to go down this path yourself. my entire life turned upside down, i had no idea what i was getting myself into, the stress time management was insane. there was no financial independence even when i would be nearing my late 20s, that really scared me. i wanted to live on my own and build something before i turn 30 and by this profession it wasnt possible. i started to hate medicine, the thought of doing this for the rest of my life was horrifying. i decided to switch to comp science, i am still not sure what else to choose because being a doctor is all i have ever wanted but im glad i realised this before it was too late.

[@truthseeker4084]

I am not sure why you wanted to go into med school? I am 27 and started med school 2 years ago, its 6 years in Europe plus 4 year of residency. Before you go into medicine, it should be clear that the benefits will come later, but they come, however, it is not so much about benefits, it is more about WANTING to study medicine. If you really wanted to become a doctor, you would have not cared about spending a few years more in college. And that is why I tell everyone to ONLY go to med school because you want to become a doctor. I am not even thinking about spending so much time in school because I want to be a doctor, thats it. I hope you did not make this decision because you think that life is a race and you have to be independent before the age of 30.

[@tehmeed337]

@@truthseeker4084 ur right but from where i come from i needed to be independent before i turn 30, i could not afford to be financially dependant even at an age where peoples earnings is quite bountiful. my parents always wanted me to be a doctor so it was quite expected of me to go down this path. i had always thought that i could earn well by doing by bachelors too, but it almost has no value anymore without the postgraduate degree. i was ready to go down this path and put hours into it until i realised i wont be earning to live off by myself

[@yogeshlakshman8488]

@@tehmeed337 I would always think even if I have given a billion dollars to work on a certain things like accounts, business, art etc.,I won’t be satisfied or happy doing that. Because I love medicine. I have heard about many rich people though they have more money they lack peace, satisfaction. Getting more money within a particular age is not a bad thing but I would always make sure that’s what my soul wants. Beware of societal expectations. I am not trying to advise but sharing my experience .

You either sacrifice your life for other's people health, or stick with medicine. If you can have a comfortable life earning money doing other thing most people would quit medicine. Right now is not worth it, money wise, and also society couldn't give a f about doctors or how much we sacrifice for them .

[@francisgaray9016]

Hi Kevin, could you exemplify what you meant with "the risks with KZbin are substantially higher than the risks associated with practicing medicine?"

[@venkatachengalvala4289]

The probability of failure (in medicine, failure could take the form of a really bad lawsuit or losing your license; in youtube, it can take the form of simply failing to get momentum on your channel or KZbin changing its mind and cutting down the amount of money per view you get). While failure is possible in both cases, the probability is much higher if you're pursuing KZbin content creation than if you're a practicing doctor.

The funniest one, is two neurosurgeons contradicted each other opinions. One was straight up truth, and got to the point to not become a surgeon. Whereas another convincing me to become one or at-least enter med school.

[@wasg1019]

As a future doctor im so happy i dont live in the US but in Denmark. Here the income is less(still top 5 among all jobs tho), but work life balance is way better. Doctors work 37hrs/week here. On top of that all education is free, even medicine at uni, and we get paid by the state to study :D. Theres therefore no uni which is more better than the other, because theyre all owned by the state and made sure theyre at the same high lvl. Yall from US would prob see us as communists alike haha, but these points are a game changer for many ppl

[@thebeatles9]

You either want to take care of patients every day or not. I don't know why people complicate this so much. Answer that question and stick to it. Too many folks in medicine that don't prioritize that core, key, critical, idea. So much could be avoided if we just stop letting teenagers be competitive for med school.

[@mariokestler5390]

Sometimes I wake up wanting to take care of patients, and sometimes I wake up and just want to get over the day. It is a really complicated matter, but I think the mistake is in romanticizing a very poor life quality for MDs, and not emphasizing on mental health or health overall for healthcare workers. We're not machines, and can fall victims of depression or burnout, or missing out on our personal life.

[@hobbysatanist6667]

Wanting to take care of patients and not wanting to work yourself to death are not mutually exclusive.

[@judahb3ar]

I’d be interested to see statistics of percent of people who actually chose medicine for the $money, if we could somehow find out … I suspect it’s higher than most people think. “Only do medicine if it’s your passion” or if you just want a fat paycheck.

[@1837Cal]

Stop being obtuse, you know damn well it’s not as simple as that. Having to sacrifice your time, and sometimes health, should not be the case for any career. That’s asinine.

[@djaligater]

I was with you until ur solution. I think the problem is that schools don’t require students to have a job in service oriented fields like food industry, retail, and/or CNA/EMT. Taking care of others is big in medicine and you have to like it. It’s not enough to be smart and “like science”.
