I got accepted to my first medical school yesterday! Thank you so much for your videos, they have really helped me with the admissions process. ☺

[@EvolvingMedic]

Congratulations!! I am so happy to hear that!! 🤩🎉

[@DemetriPanici]

It’s so inspiring seeing you grind through it all

[@EvolvingMedic]

Thank you so much! Definitely a grind, but it’s worth it!

[@iAmNasia17]

That example of how patients could present was informative! Baby’s room looks super cute btw. Overall it seems like a productive day! P.s. I started Will as well and it has some great messages in it!

[@EvolvingMedic]

Thanks so much Tanasia! And let me know your overall feelings of Will once you finish it! I just finished it yesterday! 🔥

[@MrsEvolving]

Blaze’s shot in the baby room was my favorite 🥰 We’re all excited to meet our boy!

[@chiro.charles]

Such a great subtle video! Now back to studying!

[@EvolvingMedic]

Thank you! Back to studying hahah

[@bryherfarrell3672]

seeming as though you're a king and wake up super early every day, I'm curious about what time you go to bed every night to be able to sustain this habit? love your vids! keep it up!

[@EvolvingMedic]

I’m glad you’re enjoying my videos! I go to bed around 9:30 during the week. It’s the only way I can wake up early and not hate everything 😅

[@moeelmasry2331]

Awesome video as usual JR!! Good luck with nephro!!

[@EvolvingMedic]

Thanks so much Moe!!

[@raspberryK1]

Blaze looks so sweet and funny! I love seeing him in the background :)

[@EvolvingMedic]

Thanks so much! I love that dog 😊 lol. He’ll definitely be a mainstay in the videos 😌

[@danielleclarke8950]

Just came across your channel, and I am loving the content already.

[@EvolvingMedic]

Thanks Danielle! I’m glad you’re loving it!

[@nahomelion]

God bless you, brother.

[@EvolvingMedic]

Thank you so much! God bless you too!

[@chantillyyakes7714]

Ive been watching your videos for awhile and you seem like such a motivated student in medical school and you show all the right ways of doing things. Just a possible video for the future, what things have you seen in other medical students or even your past mistakes that helped guide you how to study in med school? What’s something that we don’t see in videos that students go through in med school that isn’t unicorns and rainbows? Just a thought! Not saying your videos make things look perfect but I just know you would be really good at explaining these things. Keep up the great work!

[@EvolvingMedic]

Thank you so much for your support and this message! That’s a great idea for a video! Because you’re absolutely right, medical school isn’t all unicorns and rainbows

[@carrolserrano5032]

I just started watching your videos and I already love it ❤️❤️❤️

[@EvolvingMedic]

Thanks so much! I’m glad you’re loving them! Many more to come!

[@joshbritton]

Just bought that curved monitor you recommended as I begin studying for finals this week, and the mcat this summer! Hopefully I enjoy it

[@EvolvingMedic]

Nice!! I hope you enjoy it too! And good luck on you finals and MCAT studying!!

[@JenRob1109]

Awesome day in the life vlog. I'm going to try out starting the day with a few minutes of journaling this week. I typically start with a walk, but it might be nice to switch it up with something that takes a little less time heading 1 week until finals.

[@EvolvingMedic]

Nice Jenna! A walk is great because the mind can find some peace and the body can get moving! I’m excited to see how you like journaling!

[@healthcareanalyst8064]

Hey bro, be careful with those thermos cups. I had a rude awakening as did a lot of people on the tube. The lids come completely apart which is a pain in the arse in my opinion, anyway if you don't completely take it apart and really scrub that thing mold builds up. Look it up people have gone years and months without knowing their drinking mold every day as unbeknownst to us the lids come fully apart. Sooo yeah, I'd ditch it all together especially if you add milk, cream to your coffee, that's where it mostly stems from. I'm a tea drinker, trying to give my heart a break lol so I don't put milk in tea. But if you use any creamer whatsoever either replace the lid every few months, break the lid down and scrub it or just do what i did and switch to iron flask. It' light weight even when full. It keeps ice in it for 24-48 hours in my month of use and keeps drinks hot all day though we know it doesnt last that long. And they are affordable and practical, and easy to hold in the hand without stretching your hands out and way cheaper than hydroflasks. So yeah check it out

[@EvolvingMedic]

Great info! I’ll check it out! Thanks!

[@bige1k17]

Hello JR! I have prune belly syndrome, along with chronic kidney disease and hydrocephalus. With 50 surgeries along with idiopathic scoliosis. I love your videos!

[@EvolvingMedic]

Hey! I’m so sorry to hear of all the things you have been through but your continued strength is so admirable! Im glad you’ve been liking my videos!

[@TheGovindmann]

Such an inspiring video that was JR. Keep doing good work brother !! As beautiful the campus is I wonder how much of motivation you get from the med school and the students around you?

[@EvolvingMedic]

Thank you bro! And you’re absolutely right. I get a lot of motivation from the school, the hospital’s history and all of my incredible classmates

[@earth2ellie]

The scene with you coming home and Blaze being confused about if you were a robber 😭💀

[@EvolvingMedic]

Hahaha I don’t know why he gets like that 😂

[@alwinatjiveze3079]

I will go early to school every day ❤

Wish you a good time doc

Thank you!!

Vet student who just finished nephro pathology, its super important but always lulls me to sleep :D

I’m right there with you! Lol. Not the biggest fan of all this detailed physiology, but still super important

With over 800 cards, HOW in the world are you able to remember information from past blocks? I would forget everything I’ve learned by the time I start on to a new subject

[@EvolvingMedic]

The majority of those cards are from past blocks. I still review cards from all the old classes. That’s why I always have so many 😅

[@Mr.Whites_Forex]

Can you make a video on how you get through 800 cards daily like when I use Anki I have split screen up and I write out the question and I literally just answer the question as fast as I possibly can with it being 100% right. I can get like 20 cards completely done in maybe two hours

[@EvolvingMedic]

@@Mr.Whites_Forex I use the premade Anki deck which saves a ton of time and which is formatted in a way that allows me to work through them pretty quickly. I’ve also been seeing some of these cards for over a year so that helps them go quickly too. But here is a video where I talk about how I use Anki in more detail! I hope this helps! kzbin.info/www/bejne/rn2sfKGroreLepI

[@shaileshrao8694]

Amazing video! I'm a new subscriber and I love your content I've watched all your videos so far! 😁 Just wanted to know if you make your own anki cards or you download them from somewhere specific?

[@EvolvingMedic]

Hey! Thanks so much for your support and I’m glad you’ve been enjoying my videos! I very rarely make my own cards. I use the premade Anking deck

[@grantjones199]

Great video

[@EvolvingMedic]

Appreciate you Grant!

[@iangaithuma7111]

Great video bro!! How do u get your anki cards...custom made or downloaded? #keepevolving

[@EvolvingMedic]

Appreciate you bro!! ✊🏽 #keepevolving And I use the Anking deck. I rarely make my own cards

[@Wafflemakerguy19]

Amazing videos! Just a quick question. Do you make your own Anki cards or do you use premade decks?

[@EvolvingMedic]

Thank you Nayid! And I use premade cards for the most part. I use the Anking deck

[@ameerzaman4961]

Where do you get your suits? Look great man

[@EvolvingMedic]

Thanks man! And I think they are either from Men’s Warehouse or Macy’s

[@LChism-wx3qy]

Is ANKI something that is given once you enter med school? Or is it something that we could access as an app? And make our own flashcards about any subject? Keep up the pace, don't give up!! 😁

[@EvolvingMedic]

Thank you so much! And Anki is just an app and you can definitely download it and begin making your own flash cards.

[@joshuascott4479]

finally downloaded Anki !!!

[@EvolvingMedic]

Let’s go! Your life will never be the same 😂

[@alitantawy2222]

Great vlog! Do you use specific anki decks or you make your own?

[@EvolvingMedic]

Thanks Ali! I use the Anking deck. I rarely make my own

[@mowlester]

Jr smith??? Bro why didnt you pass to bron😞😞😞😩😩😩

[@EvolvingMedic]

Hahah a decision I gotta live with 😪😂

[@nyakalloramapepe6073]

I wanna know if you create all your Anki flashcards?..... You got good memory....memorizing medical terms ain't my cup of tea....Don't know if it's because I am African or what...😂😂😂

[@EvolvingMedic]

I use premade Anki cards (the Anking deck). And I don’t have the best memory either! 😅 That’s why I have to do so many cards hahah

[@mackenziemiller9643]

How do you keep track of anki cards for the stuff important for the block you are in versus the old blocks?

[@EvolvingMedic]

I use the premade Anking deck and just continue to do my reviews from old blocks and add to them the cards from the current block

[@sheenasantos-alipio8267]

Hi where did you get your Nephro ANKI flashcards?

[@EvolvingMedic]

I use the Anking deck which has cards for all subjects. I definitely recommend checking it out. I’m sure you’ll love it!

[@samanthakoch2929]

Does Anki have cards created for you or do you have to make your own like a quizlet?

[@EvolvingMedic]

You can download premade decks or make your own. For the most part I use the premade Anking deck that’s designed for medical students

[@SoloJedi_]

Question: What percentage of your studying is Anki, lecture review, content review, doing questions, etc.? I'm starting med school soon and every KZbin video I watch people says they use Anki but when do you incorporate reviewing lectures and doing questions if any?

[@EvolvingMedic]

Great question! I don’t review lectures. I just go to lecture (at least most times lol), do Anki, and sometimes do practice questions the week of the exam. At least 75% of my studying is Anki

[@HDPeterson19]

I can 100% agree with this. Typically it’s preview with an outside resource (B&B, sketchy, pathoma, etc.), go to or watch lecture (usually watch at 2+X speed), ANKI, ANKI, ANKI, then practice questions to see what you know leading up to the test. Spend majority of your time with Anki (after you understand the material) and test time will be a breeze!

[@arpanpatel30]

did you make your own anki or use a premade anki deck if yes which anki deck do you use?

[@EvolvingMedic]

I use premade decks almost exclusively. And I use the Anking deck!

[@MDForTheCulture]

Bro what’s good, what kind of headphones do you have?

[@EvolvingMedic]

What’s up bro! I have the Sony WH1000xm4. But all the wireless Sony headphones are great in my opinion

[@estspartans]

Do you have a link to the Prada frames?

[@EvolvingMedic]

I actually just got these from Costco! Lol Their optical section is pretty nice!

[@pikusarker1359]

Sir how much student debt do you have? Nice video.

[@skycaptain141]

what sony headphones are those?

[@EvolvingMedic]

WH-1000XM4

[@blitz30034]

🚨🚨🚨On average, how much free time do you have at the end of the day to relax, hang out with friends, etc?

[@EvolvingMedic]

It really depends on the day. Some days can be an entire afternoon. Like starting at 1pm until I go to bed lol. And other times it can be around an hour or so. Most days are around 2-3 hours of free time
