I feel like you have to be an extra strong person for oncology, especially with peds.

[@aswd-wo9ey]

Why?

[@potshead]

@@aswd-wo9ey I think it has to do with informing them if there is no other way.

[@B-lazer3]

Very nice video Dr. Webb. I, too want to become an Orthopedic Surgeon when I’m older, and it is great watching your videos!

[@vasilyovechko]

Thank you for the video!

[@aboveyou.634]

You didn’t ask about the lifestyle of the speciality, which is very important

[@sergiosaucedo5834]

Rare for a radiation oncologist to work more than 40 hours.

[@eliskakohout8858]

Excellent interview as always. 👍👍👍

[@alexgradzka1912]

This was awesome! I've been watching your videos for awhile now, Dr. Webb, and I have wanted to do rad onc for quite some time. Thanks for posting :)

[@antoniowebbmd]

Awesome! Glad you enjoyed it! Hit the bell notification so you can be the first to receive notification of new videos I post!

[@GloryLoveHaircare]

Not sure if you did an interview for a Maternal Fetal Medicine doctor but if not please do!!!!

[@jk_.j9986]

So basically it take 4 years for university degree 4 years or medical school and 1 year of internship and 4 years for redundancy. 13 years in total great to know 😃

[@zviriko6850]

It's 9 years total

[@jagritijha1291]

Is radiation oncology very competitive for IMG to get into?

[@almaskabir3280]

I want to be a radiation oncologist too

[@Low_pH]

Heard rad onc is going down the tank. Huge amount of unfilled seats for 2019. Makes sense after the leadership screwed the residents. They made the radbio exam unnecessary difficult with inadequate study guides. Not to mention this push for hypofractionation which means less revenue but yet rad onc leaders want to expand residencies. Salaries are decreasing as well because of this. It's sad what happened to radonc

[@BruceFame]

Low pH what about interventional rads?

[@Low_pH]

@@BruceFame interventional rad is doing quite well. It's on the up. It's very competitive to get in because it recently became it's own program

[@jillsdasilva]

Great interview from what I’ve watched so far. What would you suggest a person do for an undergrad before Med school? Are you in school for a total of eight years and then residency? Or is residency part of that eight yrs? Is 42/no undergrad too late to start?? Thanks Dr. Mercado & Dr. Webb!

[@delightful5165]

Watch this guy if interested. He is 49 i believe and in medical school. kzbin.info/www/bejne/gGawpIyFeN2Coqs

[@jillsdasilva]

Nima awesome! Thanks so much 🙂

[@jillsdasilva]

SurreallTV HUGE eye opener of a response. Thank you so much for taking the time to reply. For time, money, and sanity I really believe the NP is the way to go. Make money the whole time and still help patients. I think this seems more logical than taking the obvious risks and gamble with the MD route. And yes, I’m 42 but feel like I’m 90 and act like I’m 20 most days lol. Thanks you again!!

[@jillsdasilva]

I’d love to but it’s def not in my cards to go to the Caribbean. Unless it’s for vacation 😘

[@antoniowebbmd]

Hi, Here is a video to answer your question but short answer is no. No age is too old. Enjoy! kzbin.info/www/bejne/hJKYdZSnaLR-gdE

[@nainunardav5044]

What about radiation exposure to oncologist.? Read an article about a radiation oncologists who got Leukaemia and years of exposure

[@itzyfun6129]

If it`s possible, Make pls Timeline codes

[@joegarza49]

Dr Webb or Dr Mercado HOW can Radiation Oncology help alleviate pain?

[@DeeQ777]

Hi, im a doctor who plans to go into radiation oncolohgy and would like to ask the title of the main reference book for radiation oncology residency? thank you
