[@Oluwadoro]

Nah

[@neescott]

@ do you know how many surgeries we perform?

[@joelcalafell9743]

@@neescott 100% agree ob/gyn definitely on the surgery side.

[@nerdygeorge6502]

Definitely. OBGYN is not only C-sections. It also includes complicated robotic surgeries, vaginal surgeries for prolapse repairs, and urogyn. Also, can’t forget to mention that Gynecologic Oncologists are considered some of the best surgeons (some argue that Gyn Oncs are better surgeons than colorectal surgeons, but I do not like to make comparisons). While it is true that ObGyn is only a 4-year surgical specialty, fellowships within ObGyn can be as long as 4 years (8 total). General ObGyns and fellowship-trained ObGyns are 100% skilled surgeons. Let’s change this bullshit stigma/misinformation.

[@madelinehamilton3019]

Yes OBGYN is absolutely a surgical specialty! But something I have gathered about this man is that he is very cocky and comes off as thinking he is better than everyone else (especially other types of doctors and healthcare providers). I lost respect for him after his video on PAs vs MDs where he used an analogy saying PAs are like flight attendants while doctors are like pilots. He did not give PAs enough credit. This is coming from someone in medical school. I could tell his feeling of superiority over PAs, NPs etc. from that video.

[@wannabedal-adx458]

As always great video clearing up some confusion in the medical community. Love the "Level of Difficulty" rating of "Emotional Damage"!!! (Ref Steven He). Also, the thing I have seen over the years as a patient is that non-surgical specialties can do minor surgical and diagnostic procedures with you under anesthetic, but not need a surgeon. Finally, all your suggestions would be great for next video and I would add the difference between PM&Rs and PTs. Thanks

[@heehaaification]

I really like how he made the distinction between enjoying technical vs intellectual stimulation. For surgeons who can’t stand sitting in one place thinking about a problem for hours, I can’t stand being stuck in an OR for hours (esp. as a med student) executing a problem that in my mind, has already been solved. My surgery rotations were pretty much hell because most cases, the “fun” part (ie, the diagnostic stuff) has already been solved. Plus I’m extremely clumsy with my hands! 😂

[@mikeshake1349]

Can you please make a video about the steps of applying to a US med school after finishing a BS degree as an international student. Also, the same in regard to applying for residency as an international med student.

[@retroxcalibur1441]

Heyyyyyy man just a small suggestion, you should do Diagnostic vs Interventional Radiologist! you know that sounds like a fantastic idea...

[@Step2andBeyond]

The first day of my general surgery rotation was super cool. I thought I could go into it for residency. By the end of the first week, I knew it wasn't for me. The lifestyle was absolutely terrible. There's no way I could do that for 5+ years without becoming a changed, bitter person, or having thoughts of self harm.

[@jesusthesaviorof]

Please do a video on surgical Physicians and surgical PA-Cs. I want to do surgery. I’m not after the prestige rather the intellectual stimuli and reward of surgery.

[@josephkeyes7800]

[@Manikanta.Rapolu]

In this ideo Maybe you should have focused more on what surgeons are taught in "General Surgery Residency" and what medical students are taught in "Internal medicine Residency" How DIFFERENT is General surgery from internal medicine in terms of information taught, critical thinking necessity in each field, and How much they OVERLAP in terms of what they taught the only thing that I learned this video is, "Surgeons are paid more than Medicine doctors, surgeons have long career path and one shouldn't become a doctor for money" which I and most people already know about No offence but true feedback, I didn't learn anything new that I already didn't know about from this video, and the video is definitely not up to the medical "Insider" level 😊 .

[@MedSchoolInsiders]

Sorry to hear that. This video is focused on helping people make the best career choice. In medical school, the curriculum for any type of doctor will be the same. All med students have the same clinical rotations too in the later part of medical school. It's residency that differentiates the training paths, and by that time, it's far more about practical, hands-on learning than information taught.

[@Manikanta.Rapolu]

@MedSchoolInsiders 🤦‍♂️I guess, you didn't read my comment totally Nowhere in the comment I spoke about medical college, I only spoke about the residencies "Internal medicine" and "General surgeon" how much of a difference there is in between these 2 Residencies in terms of whatever information we learn in these residences not essentially through books, Information doesn't automatically mean, I talking about sitting and reading from a book In my primary comment, i was talking about or, more precisely, saying about your should spoke about how much does the residencies "General surgery" and "Internal medicine" Overlap in terms of critical thinking, information taught in various forms and which is more monotonous and etc. because if a person wants to become an oncologist, then he has to choose between surgical or medical oncology besides radiation oncology to become a surgical oncologist, one should choose the residency General surgery whereas to become a medical oncologist, one should choose the residency internal medicine so now a student must choose between a medicine doctor versus surgery doctor so what is the difference between these two "Medical vs surgical doctors" in terms of what information they learn in various way in their respective residencies and which is more critical thinking dependent which is more monotonous, how much they overlap and etc I hope you understand at least this time but if you don't, then you win, leave it 🤦‍♂️.

[@enockssebweggamo3828]

A surgeon is someone who performs surgery. Obgyns perform some of the commonest surgeries in the US (hysterectomies, caesarean sections). They are major surgeries, by the way. But somehow, they are not surgeons, according to you. Why? You can not say it's because they spend too much time doing clinical instead of surgical work. All surgical specialists do so. They do not just walk into the OR daily to operate on patients they didn't even see in the clinic or ward.

[@cadeolson8786]

It’s not so much a mistake, OB/GYN generally aren’t considered surgeons because of their training, OB/GYN do surgery but it’s more blunt surgeries, I think they should be considered surgeons because they do surgery but it’s just not how the medical speciality is categorized.

Great explanation @xdsf3702 Ophthalmology and OB/GYN were included in our 36 Surgical Career Paths explained video because they perform some surgeries. For the purposes of this video, we focused on medical paths that require a surgical residency, whether a categorical surgical residency or one that requires a general surgery residency first. There is a grey area for sure. Ophthalmology and OB/GYN perform some surgery but it is not the sole focus of residency.

@@MedSchoolInsiders Wrong in so many levels. Explain then how metastatic ovarian cancer is managed without the high skills of a gyn oncologist trained in complex open, laparoscopic, and robotic surgery. Gyn oncologists are trained in lymph node dissections that are often adjacent to major vessels (I.e. the aorta) , splenectomies, and bowel resections and repairs. Please correct this misinformation.
