Asking A Surgeon How To Be Happy

[@bjorn6956]

Hey doc, Love to see more of you on youtube again! And I love the type of videos that you're making right now. I feel that I can explain topics very well, so im looking foward to a lot more of these type of video's. Keep it up

Hi Dr. Parker, MS II here and very interested in surgery. Wondering if you could realistically describe what life as a surgeon is like. It's hard to tell what I might be signing up for for the next couple decades with the current content out there right now. Thank you, big time fan for past few years and glad to see you back making videos!

I follow you from Germany

What should you do if you fail a year of medical school?

[@ac2584]

Hi Dr. Parker ! I have a curiosity… Why doctors don’t prescribe a simple mineral as a Magnesium for the digestive system? It does miracles!

[@alitatsibelenko3572]

Hey Doc, great videos. I was wondering how many surgeries you typically preform in a week? How have your work hours change since residency?

[@brunobianco5044]

Hi Dr. Buck. Is the vasovagal syncope/response in the or a limiting factor to pursue a surgical specialty or is it something that you eventually get over and can become a surgeon? Thanks

[@emphasis20]

Is the resuscitative thoracotomy the craziest operation you've performed? And how often and under what conditions was it utilized?

[@lethabrooks9112]

Why do medications like Ibuprofen and Aleve cause me bad stomach pains if I take them for more than a couple of days? I do take them with food and that doesnt seem to help.

My friend had a finger injury, he showed me today and it looks like all the meat and muscle and skin was completely sheered off from the tip of his thumb down to the first bend of his thumb and all that’s left is his bone. He still has the rest of his thumb from the first bend and below but his bone is exposed and it’s all healed up. This is how the hospital left it. Can they do this? Isn’t it unsanitary for him?

[@drbuckparker]

Wow Doesn’t sound great!!! I might go to another hospital!

[@drbuckparker]

It can heal like this but typically it will be removed and sewn up to close the wound.

Hey Dr. Buck, What are your thoughts on IR? IR is now a separate residency and allows you able to do image guided surgical procedures, do you personally interact with IR often?

[@drbuckparker]

IR is great. Yes I work w those docs a lot. I think they r smart, mostly pretty kind and have good lifestyle. Hard to tell what their schedule is like but they seem happy.

Do you need to continue studying as a doctor to keep up with the latest treatment modalities and medication in your field of practice? If so, how many hours per week/month do you need to study?

[@anthonypetrillo841]

Hey Dr. Buck, You mentioned that you’ve gotten away from surgery, but I don’t remember if you said what you’re doing now. Can you talk about some options for physicians to work outside medicine?

[@drbuckparker]

I can do that!

Hi Dr.Buck, Im an MS2 from American University of the Caribbean? I'm currently doing really well in my class (Dean list and honors) but I'm kinda lost on what to improve upon besides my grades and extracurricular (TAing, Tutoring, clubs, etc...). Im aspiring to be a surgeon like you. What else do program director focus on? Thanks

[@AppleMasterChris]

RESEARCH. As soon as possible!

Are you still mining crypto? Do you think it is still a viable way to replace your income?

[@killerwaspy1303]

Do a car video! Also thoughts on Pharmacy/Pharmacists it's roles in patients care?

[@NunyaNomi]

Easy, give your life to Christ. My happiness increased drastically knowing I have the One True God guiding my life. I have a serious medical condition that was killing my soul and He renewed my spirit and the fight to live. If God is for us, who can be against us?
