Jenny, I have to say, your voice is so calming, you’re so chill, you’re not a complainer, you’re positive! When I’m feeling blah about going to work, or I’m tired, stressed, I think to myself, be like Jenny lol.

[@KristinaMcCoy1]

j olmos I seriously think the same. She’s amazing! I don’t know how she does it.

[@traciprovins3221]

Same!!

[@StacyAnnW6460]

Okay, that pay is terrible for the number of hours you work and your level of education, training and responsibility. Especially true if you’re trying to manage student loans! You must have to remind yourself that it’s short term and will change drastically once you finish residency.

[@RealityReported]

StacyAnnW6460 you’re so sweet

[@chigasaki06]

So true. It's like 50k to 300k once she's done, lol.

[@aaronduffy3521]

StacyAnnW6460 how long do you have to do residency?

[@failyourwaytothetop]

50K before taxes. Factor in the taxes and the hours you put in. You guys are making minimum wage during residency. That's a FACT!!!

[@ajeims17]

Fail Your Way To The Top At least they are making something. Look at how hard farmers work and they make SHIT

[@allenrahrooh7140]

i spoke with a resident orthopedic surgeon he works from 5 am to 8 pm 5 days a week

[@kiuteekittee997]

50K is double the amount I used to make with my minimum wagw job a year, so they aren't doing so bad and it will recompensate once they complete residency.

[@failyourwaytothetop]

@@kiuteekittee997 Go to any meatpacking plant in the Midwest and you'll make more than 50K a year as an entry level employee. Once they try you out on the floor, since you are an American and read and write English, you'll quickly be promoted to a supervisory position making close to 75K a year. Get to it kid.

I'm happy to see you're still making great videos and I love hearing how you explain new topics. I value how you balance being informative while still sharing your own opinion. :)

[@benji6596]

If you guys didn’t here she make 50k because she is a resident. RESIDENTS are doctors fresh out of medical school and are sort of in training. After residency is when they start their actual first job and real base salary depending on their speciality.

[@mamaci910]

As a critical care nurse I get paid more than a resident physician and that’s working only 36 hours a week. I am working on my ARNP as I have discovered that an ARNP hour for hour gets paid more than the Dr they work for. That’s pretty sad for Doctors who give up so much more of their life and free time for education and training.

[@gracekamau5098]

This was one of the most realistic videos I've ever seen on becoming a doctor! thanks for sharing Jenny!

[@GreenEnvy.]

It should be ILLEGAL for someone to work more than 8 hours a day. You get ONE life. Blowing it away working is awful, exhausting, and unacceptable.

[@skateozzy]

Some people enjoy working, I work with plenty of workaholics and it’s the love of their work that keeps them going.

[@TurdFurgeson571]

If you're doing something you love, you'll never work a day in your life. But yeah, if you're working more than 8 hours a day you can get burned out. Also, I think it should be important to make a distinction between work and training. People in the military train for exhaustive hours, because in the "real world" their job may demand that kind of output, so they need to be capable of that or wash out. Why is that not okay for physician training or other demanding jobs?

[@michellemarie1197]

A lot of people like it, it should be something you truly enjoy but unless costs of living decrease largely, have to work long hours

[@Loveduhmusic]

I was in the Army for 4 years woke up at 5AM and stayed til 7PM to 8PM. I want to be a surgeon and working more than 8+ hours a day wont bother me.

[@Realgenelive100]

Green Envy it’s not work if you’re getting paid for something you love doing.

[@jarednewby6031]

Very impressive on the hourly pay breakdown being on the spot and off the top of your head!! 20-25$ an hour is between 42,000-52,000$ annually working 40 hrs a week.

[@ahmedmadboly6538]

Guys this is the beginning of a doctor, so please don t underestimate yourself as residency is atemporary period which is almost three years, but after that when you become an attending physician you will get at least 160000$ annually

[@dragonking5767]

What exactly is 80 hrs a week per day? Also, can you do a video on how/when you can sleep as a resident to have a productive work day?

[@jordans1917]

[@comoelitamelendez8467]

Surgery life, not for you but definitely for me! Lol I want to pursue general surgery! I am so accustomed to working overnight shifts in retail jobs that the schedule honestly would not bother me. I can see how it’s not for everyone.

[@kairishahad]

So to clarify, do you have days off in your schedule, or does every day off count towards vacation days? I feel like 20 in a year isn't that bad!

[@honestmicky]

Excellent video, thanks for posting, much appreciated : )

[@thomaslapsley8145]

I had a conversation with my uncle concerning majors in college and he said to me he never thought you could go into a field that you liked. He took his major in college for the reason that he could make money in that field. I thought how sad, he worked in a field his entire life and didn't like what he was doing. I'm older and I'm going into medicine to fulfill my love for medical science and love for helping others. I'm not expecting to get wealthy. I'm hoping to open a small practice someday, work at my own pace and enjoy life. Dr. Le I liked your vlog today it was very realistic and really does cause people to think both like my uncle and myself. I was fortunate to have a mom who reminded me often to go into something you like. She'd say life is to short not to enjoy what you do. Carpe Diem.

[@janesuoth]

[@Kymv8382]

I like how you’re willing to discuss the finical side of medicine. Why do you think it comes off as so secretive? Ive met a lot of doctors and 99% of them dont like to discuss money. Also, do you have any videos regarding DO’s who match into surgery specialities? I wanna he a surgeon and my resume is more in line with a DO school but im concerned it will be tough to match into surgery as a DO

She's still what you can call a post graduate student! Take this salary as her stipend. It's not like she has started working as a full fledged physician yet.

Not in residency.

[@miaqueen7573]

I think its a bit of a rip off..yes doctors get paid good once they are fully trained but residents should get paid more. Like she said..all the hours they do makes the amount per year not much at all..i feel bad for them. Its stressfull! Im no doctor or even wanting to be one..just annoyed that resident have to bust their asses off for basically no money

[@rnhim2072]

They should at least make them hourly instead of salary, that way they qualify for overtime.

[@leehailey3479]

Just curious, if you can choose again would you still choose to become a physician? Or other careers like a pharmacist?

[@drjennale]

I love OMT and being a physician is the only way I can practice that. But if I had to choose anything else, I think I would be very happy as a labor and delivery nurse

[@Eaglebutters]

[@sunnylive85]

[@LeiaJay]

I don’t see colorectal surgery on there. Does that fall under general surgery?

[@drjennale]

General surgeon do surgeries on the colon but the majority of colonoscopies are don’t by gastroenterologist. That’s an internal medicine sub speciality like cardiology.

[@LeiaJay]

Ok great thanks for the info and thank you so much for your videos it’s very informative. I use to work for a colorectal surgeon, general surgeons, internal med, infectious disease docs and a pulmonologist. I’m leaning towards colorectal surgery because his schedule seems lighter because he would come in to clinic on MTWF and do colonoscopies in Thursday’s. I just wanna be a doctor where I’m not called throughout the night or on call. But I don’t think I can get around that. With general surgeons we call texted or surgeons regarding patients pain after surgery etc... we would text the colorectal surgeon about patients wanting to be squeezed in for pain regarding hemorrhoids, thrombosis gems or fissures. Internal med docs didn’t get texted at all I noticed, but will handle the situation when they got in the next day. I’m also thinking about becoming a Radiologist because I’m a intervert and I like being alone sometimes lol idk we’ll see.

[@MeLon-jw1nx]

Jenny how does an attempt in usmle affect one's chance in matching at an internal medicine program especially for an img?

[@drjennale]

I think all IMG are required to take USMLE before applying to US residencies.

[@MeLon-jw1nx]

Jenny Le what i am asking is that I cleared step 1 in second attempt and scored 245 marks in 2nd attempt so how would that reflect on my chance of getting a residency since i am an img? Thanks in advance

[@drjennale]

Schools usually have an algorithm which they take you score and determine if you qualify for an interview. I think being IMG already puts you at a disadvantage because they will generally accept US medical students first. That being said, once you get an interview you can always explain what happened the first time. Whether that will positively or negatively impact you will depend on your answer

[@aaronduffy3521]

How long do you have to stay in residency

[@77upup77]

If you say 20 days of vacation, does that include holidays? Or..do doctors not have holidays? In my job, we have earned time and we have to use 8 hours of earned time for every holidays.

[@Kymv8382]

The pay is not that good obviously but the ending is definitely worth it. Live like no one else now so you can live like no one else later, right?

[@taylortee8474]

Hey Jenny I enjoy your videos. I didn’t study medicine but I’m so interested. After residency does your salary quadruple I’m just curious

[@traciprovins3221]

Also can you please answer sometime if possible if you applied to allopathic and AOA residencies? I’m not even sure you can apply to both together (I’m a DO student). I assume you are in an AOA program? I would love to know what you think about the merger too. If you have time to answer any of these I’d be so appreciative 😍

[@drjennale]

I only applied to AOA. But by the time you apply there will only be one match. I guess there’s both good and bad to the merger depending on who you ask. I’m glad we have the same recognition but I’m worried that many will forget the Osteopathic philosophy

[@SharingOurLife]

Might be a weird/odd question.. lol But I’ve always watched Greys, and just started watching a new show called The Resident on Fox. That one shocked me!! Comments on their FB page about episodes were explained how fake it is, or said how true it is. Do you ever watch Dr shows? Or did you prior to going to school? Does any of the stuff they do/talk about in hospitals actually happen?

[@drjennale]

I watch the show “Good Doctor” which I really enjoy. But I don’t think that’s a good representation of real life. Stan says I like watching those show just criticize everything they’re doing wrong lol

[@SharingOurLife]

Jenny Le haha makes sense. The Resident is new. I’ve watched the two episodes they have and have been just shocked at what they show. From what I read , they say it’s from a book written by a ER Dr I believe. So I’m guessing some truth goes into them. But it actually scares you alittle.

Hi Jenny, Wyatt is too cute! My baby is about the same age as yours. Much respect for you for being a mom and a resident! A quick question about your pump. I remember you were using Medela. What makes you decide to change to Spectra. What's the difference? Do you make more milk with Spectra? Thanks!

[@drjennale]

One of my co residents recommended it to me. I was desperate because I felt like I wasn’t pumping as much with the Medela. It was hit for miss and sometimes I’d be stuck to a wall for 30 minutes and I’d only get two ozs. With the Spectra I always get at least 5. Plus it more comfortable, quiet, and portable. For those three reasons a lone I thought it was a good purchase
