Is It Too Late To Become A Doctor? Does Age Matter? (Medicine Resident Answers Your Questions!)

[@houari805]

I am a miserable 25 yo girl, working as an engineer. I'm miserable in my life and I've had an opportunity to finish my studies abroad. While preparing my file to apply, i realised how I will never be happy, whether I stay in my country or go abroad. I just hate what I'm doing. I've decided to start over and do medical studies. Everyone is discouraging me. This video was helpful. Thank you

[@houari805]

@N Y well that's not my concern. My happiness doesn't revolve around anybody else but myself and my achievements.

@@shirinsyed , Hi, I'm from India. I have my BE(EEE), MS(SS) and BL, practising as top rated medico legal lawyer. I liked to pursue medicine because right from my birth I have inquisitiveness in researching functioning of brain and I can't attain more knowledge just on interaction with people or reading/watching related books/videos. I can do more successful research only on becoming a nephrologist doctor. I heard Indians need to have NEET score which I can't pursue NEET because I didn't have biology in +1, +2 schooling. But I believe for graduates medical schools in UK, USA and Canada need not have to complete NEET to enter medical college. Is it restricted only to citizens of USA, UK and Canada or even to people like me from other countries? Please clarify. Thanks a lot.

That societal timeline is so stressful really has made me think at 20 its too late. I have this deep deep want in my heart to follow my dreams to go into medicine to learn exciting things and I am my biggest obstacle. Sometimes its not easy to do things you want when you yourself do not cooperate. I guess before I can do what I really really wish and dream and yearn for I really need to fix myself and heal myself so eventually I can start healing others. This video gave me a pat on the head tho it really calmed my fear. I am going to go for it when I am ready. Ready for the challenge

I'm so lucky to have come across this video. I literally teared up listening to you talk.

Since last 3 years I took gap years, didn't do anything and kept applying for med school entrance exam because my family wanted it. I kept failing every time. I was in depression, I wasn't motivated to study, AT ALL. Now I'm finally feeling the urge to study and get into med school and I believe in myself in a very long time BUT, I'm terrified to start so later in life and especially because I didn't do anything in those 3 years.

"How does anyone know what they want to do for the rest of their life when they're sixteen" and "Society's timeline". These are some of the things I've realized in the past few years.

I’m pushing 40 and I’m in med school now (graduated of my 4 years premed in medical tech whilst still working) after a fallback career in the corporate & investment finance for years where I’m already in mid-leadership position. It’s scary to let go of the things i build up for years with my career. At first, I’m constantly fearful to restart all over again and change career path but so far getting into med school was one of the best decisions I’ve ever had so far. And It’s tough because my classmates were literally could be my kids already - being the oldest guy in the class definitely has its pros and cons. I’m always on edge and worry that I didn’t know everything at all whenever we have our exams and labs; learning is tough especially if you have other stuff in life aside from school with my age but I’m having a blast and never look back.

Why 15 years ? Does someone force you to stop medical practice at young age of 65 ? Most people remain sharp minded till 75+ if practicing healthy lifestyle and no abuse of alcohol, drugs, smoking and other bad habits. Thats easily a 25 year career of exciting work you love if health permitting. Only God can tell how long one can stay efficient and active and do what they love, being pessimist is 👎If you dont try to pursue your dreams you will regret it guaranteed. I am 42 and i will do all it takes to pursue my dream of being a doctor, over here in Eastern Europe Moldova also has no age restrictions. Or maybe will apply to Russian medical school as i speak Russian too, maybe thats even better. Affordable cost of study and great schools. Either way i will give my best and pursue my dream, that will a be a test to find out what you made off. People like us of middle age know what we want 💪

@@Goorood thank you for your valuable suggestion.

[@Paradise7998]

@@Goorood please suggest me one more time. I have a family to feed. I am the only earner of my family. How can i pursue my dream without supporting my family ? I am in dilemma. Should i go for medical course or should i continue with my job ?

[@Goorood]

@@Paradise7998 I dont know the situation and what to suggest. Having a family to take care of is of course important. Are there are means you can combine both somehow ? Are medical schools expensive in India ? In my country Moldova they are relatively inexpensive, if translated to dollars roughly 1600 dollars per year. Can study in day time and do some part time work at evening. Doctors are being paid low wages here, 600-700 dollars a month, so that makes it people who want to make more money pursue different better paid careers. I have no family to feed, no children yet, so i never thought about how to combine both things study + work. I sincerely hope you can find a solution 🙂 Plz tell how things work in India, very curious to hear, things like cost of study, how much they make and what people think about doctors.

[@Paradise7998]

@@Goorood Hello. In India the cost of medical education is low in govt colleges. But we can't do part time work along with studies. After completion of mbbs degree , if you able to join post graduate degree course than govt will provide you salary , which is around 50000 rupees. In private colleges medical course is too much expensive. After completion they can join as assistant professor with salary around 80000 rupees. In private hospital salary is 1 lakh rupees. Doing private practice they can earn around 20000 rupees daily. People respect doctors in India. They consider them as god on earth. But due to some doctors greed sometimes they have to face physical abuse from public. Otherwise we all consider it as a finest and noblest job. ALL INDIA INSTITUTE OF MEDICAL SCIENCE is one of the best college in India. It has all the facility. Hostel fees is less than 1 dollar for 5 years. I want to join in this college. Course fee is comparatively low. But due to my duty towards my family i have to think multiple times. If somehow i can get around 50 to 60 lakh then i will quit my job. But it seems a daydream only.

Thank you for this video

I’m 27 working on my bachelors. I was in the military so I had to take a break from school. I feel like I’m behind, or too late to peruse becoming a doctor. Premed is hard in trying to keep my head above water but Im pushing myself.. I worry that it will take me longer than 4 years to finish undergrad. My dream is to be a medical examiner I think it’s a really cool career. What are you guy’s thoughts on my situation

[@latte8095]

it doesn't matter how long it takes to reach that goal..in end you gonna make it hope it does by now

[@whatevervlogs9663]

@ thanks. I changed my path though. Going to school for rad tech.

[@keri471]

I'm 28 and finances is huge issue so I'm thinking of working a little more and saving so I can go to med school. But honestly it feels scary, it's like I think of what about the usual things like marriage and kids but I'm just trusting God with my life 🙏🏾

[@izmirizmir4678]

Same thing I think sometimes , but if other people could do it that means that everyone can . If you get married , your husband can support you and help you

Hi, I was wondering if whether is it a must to do foundation years in the UK even though I want to do residency in the United States?

[@shirinsyed]

No, it's not a must. You can do it if you want, but I didn't :)

Hi Shirin, I really like your video I'm in a big dilemma right now as to which career path I have to choose. I wanted to ask like I'm person who likes to work at different sectors ,should I choose my path for doctor or something else

[@NaturalChanonne]

If you need to, can you work while in medical school? Although it's not exactly the same, I've heard of some nursing programs that don't allow their students to work or simply don't encourage working while in the program. I'm curious because medical school is pricey.

[@jyotisharma-09]

Am i the only one preparing for med entrance exam at the age of 21?. 😕

[@ajwrecker12]

Im 26 and wont be applying for med school until I'm 29. By the grace of God!
