My FAVORITE Medical Specialties

[@DrCellini]

Did you think I was going to say these!? 😬. What are your favorite specialties? 👇🏼👇🏼

[@baboigae1029]

My favorite medical specialty probably has to be plastic surgery, specifically in the reconstructive branch.

[@aamirrazak3467]

I think gastroenterology is my favorite and the one I want to do most. I also love allergy/immunology, cardiology and orthopedics

[@dff171]

Anesthesiology is my favorite! - Love treating people in an acute care vs chronic care. The ability to see your interventions work in real time is gratifying. I really enjoy that it includes the cerebral nature of internal with the addition of procedures skills. Plus the work-life balance is unmatched and burn out is low. Really considering doing interventional pain afterwards, but I do worry about the consequences of working under radiation for long periods of time. Would love to hear your thoughts on this Dr. Chellini, since the vast majority of your work is under radiation?

[@fritofloyd]

Emergency medicine for the win! But I'm EMS right now while in school so I'm a little biased. I also think I might like critical care or maybe neurology.

[@acke7980]

Neurosurgery here! Such a fascinating and developing field as well

[@josechacon6015]

As a recent medical school graduate, I agree of rural family medicine. During my rotations, I have done a 2 rotations in rural health and it was one of the best rotation I ever had. Because of this experience, my interest in rural medicine became my top priority. It’s sad many med schools don’t offer rotation in rural medicine and I thank God that I had the opportunity to do it because gives a different perceptive on patient care in a different environment and setting.

[@sara215]

I agree it was awesome

[@CassandraBarthelemy]

Is that what you matched into?

[@josechacon6015]

@@CassandraBarthelemy Not yet since I am currently studying for my STEP exams( I am an IMG). My goal is to enter rural surgery since it was one of my rural rotations. It can be challenging at times but I know I will enter in.

[@lyricslife-ni3lj]

I LOVE that you mentioned having a long-term, trusting, caring, close relationship with patients and "that is how medicine should be." You are SO right, and so many doctors and dentists/dental specialists do not have that mindset. I'm currently going through some major pain/issues with my mouth requiring many people to be involved, and it's been a very difficult journey to find people who care enough to follow up with me on a long-term basis and are invested in getting me better.

[@lyricslife-ni3lj]

[@showThegLO]

Loved your thoughts on critical care. I was admitted to the ICU in March for Covid pneumonia with O2 sats at 55%. I was intubated for 11 days and was knocking on deaths door with little hope for survival. Blood transfusions, emergency surgery, a PE, and the list goes on. By the grace of God and OBViOUSLY the amazing brains and hands of medical professionals- I survived. I spent a total of 51 days in the hospital bouncing from floor to floor as various complications arose but I made it home and I am slowly getting back to normal life. All that to say- I received the most amazing care from my critical care staff. I cannot thank them enough or stop singing their praises. Not only their medical expertise but their hearts and compassion were invaluable. ❤️

[@csc1641]

Dr. Cellini is such a mood. I just finished 15 months of cancer treatment. Eight rounds of chemo, 2 surgeries in 24 hours, 25 rounds of radiation and just finished the chemo pill. Doctors are my heroes. How is what you do different from my Oncology Radiologist? Do you do all types of Radiology diagnosis? Transplant surgery would be interesting. I bet that is quite long training.

[@JonathanOvetskiy]

Surgery is so fascinating! Plastic surgery, cardio thoracic surgery, neurosurgery and so much more. It’s literally sci-fi.

[@aamirrazak3467]

Surgery definitely seems fascinating but also high tension

[@JacobMDittman]

That’s what I’m trying to get into; I love watching it too it’s so intriguing.

[@07HATTAN]

FAVORITE medical specialties for Dr. Cellini : - IR - Urology - Rural family medicine - Critical care medicine - Trasplant surgery

[@ketaminedreams1377]

Bruh rural family medicine docs are just built different. They’ll be your pediatrician, OB/Gyn, dermatologist, gastroenterologist, endocrinologist, podiatrist, general surgeon and probably your large animal veterinarian in a pinch if you ask nicely.

[@rosemariekury9186]

I’m glad you mentioned critical care. Last year my husband had a stomach bleed that puzzled some of the doctors as he has a gastric bypass. He was on a trauma unit. They first did 2 colonoscopies as they thought the colon was bleeding but he was still losing blood. There was a resident there that explained every procedure to me and what the next steps would be. By the next day he lost a lot of blood and thus kind doctor phoned me at 1 am to ask if I could get down to the hospital. He was in shock, swore at the doctors, thought he was at a vets office. The doctors were very kind, ended up doing an esophagus procedure that pinpointed a bleeding ulcer he didn’t know he had. That doctor was so good. It was the end of his rotation, told me he was going to specialize in opthamology, but he would’ve been a superb family doctor or internal physician as he was so good with people. He probably chose that as the hours are much better and less stressful, but we need these types of doctors in trauma units as they’re. Rey comforting to patients and their families.

[@valerianaranjocruz25]

In Perú we have this thing called SERUM, which is rural medicine. It's mandatory for all doctors after their internship and lasts about a year. They can send you to a close-by town or they can send you to a remote little town deep into the mountains, depends on your grades and your exam score (theres an exam). You basically become the town's doctor and an ace of all trades.

[@emilyencapsulated9540]

Currently on a rotation in a rural family medicine practice, and I agree, it's a really unique experience! My supervising MD has been running his clinic for 30+ years, and he has cared for his patients & their entire families for decades. His patients trust him, so much so that 80% of the patients are fully vaccinated against COVID-19 (which is not typical in the rural South).

[@zachfeedman8709]

also from the south, and that’s amazing🙌

[@AbhishekDharan]

100% rural fm would be the best field if one could teleport from work to a big city at the end of every day magically. It was by far my favorite rotation during third year!

[@vivek27789]

Or Apparate like in Harry Potter. 😂😂

[@aamirrazak3467]

That’s so fascinating about IR docs and urologists working together closely I never knew that. Also I was definitely surprised when you said rural family medicine but I can see your point about it. I always learn something new when I watch your vids Dr. C, it’s pretty cool

[@thaddeusdg3153]

Transplant surgery has some of the worst if not the worst hours in medicine, there’s a reason why they never fill all of their spots every year. When most general surgeons think a field is too rough that’s really saying something. I do agree that for the right person it could be an incredibly interesting and rewarding career.

[@karenswartz8280]

I’m not a doctor ( and I don’t play one on tv either, lol!) , but rather a recently retired nurse of 45 years. In my long career, I basically worked every specialty except OB/Peds, ER and psych. My two favorites are oncology and orthopedics. One is emotionally challenging, and the other is physically challenging. Each had its benefits. Oncology was my first love though, and very rewarding. I formed many special bonds with a number of my long term patients and their families that has sustained me over the years. Very challenging fields, but also very rewarding!

[@livviek5126]

A few years ago I had a percutaneous nephrolithotomy for removal of a huge staghorn kidney stone. I woke up two days later in ICU because the urologist (months out of residency) somehow lacerated my kidney. I owe my life to the critical care docs and nurses and to the IR doc that kept going in to cauterize the bleeds. Thank you Dr. Cellini for doing what you do.

[@heylookitsummer]

I've been leaning towards family practice, particularly rural, for a long time--specifically for those reasons. Been having some doubts as I get closer to finishing my undergrad, so thanks for reminding me!

Did you ever get to do a rotation in PM&R? Also it would be interesting to see you do a series of videos talking to doctors in other specialties!

[@folumb]

The ancillary staff in an ICU is like the special forces. The best of the best in literally everything. The best nurses are ICU nurses, the best RTs round in the ICU, the best technicians and nursing assistants, phlebotomists, chaplains, etc all work in the ICU.

Hey Dr. Cellini, have you listened to the Dr. Death podcast? I figured you could make a video about the neurosurgeon in question (Dr. Chris Duntsch).

Anesthesiologist?

[@jcwilkinson2012]

I never heard of an interventional radiologist until a couple months ago when my granddaughter had a pheo on one of her adrenal glands. (She has MEN2A as does her mom, me and my dad.) The IR team performed a cryo-ablation on it. She just had follow-up labs and metanephrines were undetectable. So as for now it's also my favorite specialty.

[@RedHeadedStorm]

I'm not a doctor so I'm just going by the personalities of the specialties Int. Rad. sounds interesting. I'd love to observe. You seem like good sense of humor and wouldn't throw instruments across the room (always an added plus) anesthesiology, ER, family practice, urology, ob/gyn, plasic surg, gen surg, ortho. If you need a fun relaxing channel join is at The Den for some chit chat, dancing, a drink and no drama. Everyone welcome. I love your channel

Did a FABULOUS job hiding the scar in my neck! I don't remember much from ICU days, thank God I had like 6 or 7 tubes in my neck alone. But I remember the paramedic thought I was drunk cuz I wet myself and collapsed outside my apartment by a dumpster (ha!) and kept yelling at me in the ambulance and the Dr screaming in the ER "no, she's having a PE"...I couldn't even sign the consent...the Dr helped me put an 'X'. He and the other Dr's and a couple of the nurses will always be in my prayers!!! ❤ 🧡 💛 💚 💙 💜

Also I’m in Australia and there was a news story tonight that organ donation is down because we have all our internal boarders closed (due to covid) so less flights. It is so sad. Also I’m over in Western Australia and the nearest other city to us is about 4 hours flight so we don’t get many donations. My husbands best friend died aged 24 16 years ago this December and he donated 7 organs to adults and young kids. We like to know his death was to help someone else. I’m an organ donor but with ehlers danlos and liver/pancreas (spincter of odi dysfunction) and gastroperisis I don’t know that much would be viable.

[@KhGoosey]

M4 here, I did an IR elective and really enjoyed it. I loved the tinkering feeling of the specialty, lots of creative procedures across the body. But actually, a lot of reasons you mentioned you liked other specialties (family med and critical care especially) are why I'm interested in procedural cardiology (interventional or EP). The procedures are technologically advanced and there's a good mix of very sick patients (third degree heart block, unstable STEMI patients) and more routine ones (outpatient ablations, diagnostic caths) but theres also opportunity for outpatient follow up and getting to know your patients. I also don't think I would enjoy the diagnostic side of radiology.

Transplant surgery sounds cool. My only worry so far right now is how efficient are doctors in calling an organ donor brain dead. I mean if I were a donor, I would first want to make sure that I will be revived to the fullest of my abilities by my doctor before harvesting my organs. So its kinda gives me the idea of almost literally killing the patient with the surgery. Which kinda feels off.
