Life in Anesthesia + I Took USMLE Step 3! | ND M.D.

Back home in anesthesia and I am LOVING it. However the extra time means I got Step 3 out of the way, the last of the USMLE Step exams! Can't wait until I get to come back to my home department for good but intern year just got a whole lot nicer without Step 3 weighing on my shoulders.
AnKing's video on how to study for Step 3: • How to Study for USMLE...
Check out Dr. Damania's Step 1 and 2 resources that carried me to 90+ percentile score on Step 2 and 1st time pass on Step 1 in a month: hyguru.com/

[@HunterBSN]

Looking forward to seeing more of your anesthesia journey. I'm a CVICU nurse currently applying to Crna school and I have great respect for md anesthesia. We couldn't do what we do without you guys.

[@NDMD]

ah best of luck! it's an incredible field and all that CVICU experience is going to be great to carry into the OR!

[@kferg21able]

[@NDMD]

Thank you for watching :)

[@allisonSTOCKDALE107]

The education videos would be something I would watch.

[@harshagandluri]

🙌🙌

[@zahsum]

How do you feel about CRNA encroachment in anesthesia? I know this conversation comes up every year, but what does the future of anesthesia look like? Of course, I don't think anesthesiologists will get replaced entirely, but do you think what used to require 10 physicians to staff will only need 1-2 physicians for more important/complex cases that CRNA's can't deal with? I mean, if I was admin, I would definitely hire CRNA's over anesthesia to save the hospital money and hire few physicians for more complicated cases. Just curious on your thoughts!

[@nevergoin28]

There’s enough patients that need surgery for Anesthesia professionals to go around. An anesthesiologist would always be needed because they are usually the ones that can manage like 4 different rooms making sure everything is going okay while the CRNA’s can complete the procedures. I wouldn’t be too worried

[@reddbendd]

studying for step 3 is good

[@NDMD]

apparently i was the first of my anesthesia intern class to take it, figured it was better to get it out of the way as soon as possible

[@MohammadTanoli-b2u]

Please make a vid on midlevel encroachment in anesthesia!! And why you still chose it

[@nevertheless2024]

I feel like USMLE finds multiple ways to torture us with these exams 😭 good luck on ur exam though 🙏🏾

[@XiaYu-g2x]

Andy got that perfect knockout record in the OR 😴😴

[@NDMD]

Best nap you’ll ever have😮‍💨

[@allisonSTOCKDALE107]

Hey Andy, can you pst a video about things you do for nervous paediatric patients? Any other peds tips for a future peds surgeon?

[@NDMD]

i would LOVE to. a particular passion of mine espeically working with the child life specialists in pre-op

[@johncampbell1152]

Your narrative is marvelous. Keep going (from a former medecine res.) jc md

[@NDMD]

thank you so much :)

[@KrazyNigerian14]

Do you think Amboss is good enough for STEP 3? I'm leaning towards it cause it's cheaper. Also they have a solid bioethics resource

[@kristianoleme]

Everyday life please! Great content!

[@JN-kk4nk]

I would like to see « 73 questions asked to ND MD » 😊

[@alissandreeugene3321]

Was it a burn debridement? Cool vlog!!

[@allisonSTOCKDALE107]

Not that you’re taking any more standardised tests but a testing routine would be nice. Sorry I’m commenting a lot, I need to wait until the end of the video and post it all at once.

[@richiemd777]

Hey Andi. Asked this question in a previous video. I know you went to MCG and they offer MD/MPH or MD/MBA as part of their enrichment phase without additional cost or years. Is there a reason the majority (including yourself) didn't opt for it? What are some of the downsides? Thanks and great content by the way.

[@NDMD]

Great question, it’s all about interest. I did not have a particular interest in MPH or MBA so I didn’t pursue it. The curriculum also wasn’t flushed out yet so it was a gamble for my class to pursue it. It’s probably changed over the years so can’t comment on it in its current state

[@richiemd777]

@NDMD ok Andy. Thanks. I'm glad you're slowly getting in the flow. You'll be awesome. Considering anesthesiology as well, and I have to say, you've inspired me.

[@AngelBluhh]

deviated trachea and hyper-resonance to percussion highest of yields

[@NDMD]

classic picture and agreed very high yield

[@princekarl4279]

Was the OR case amputation??😅

[@JasonMoir]

Bones Bro definitely need more time to prep for Step 3. Like any Bones Bro will tell you, they don't need a stethoscope because you can't hear bones healing.

[@NDMD]

All that sound means is the ancef pump is working

[@JBK-w5u]

Is 25 years too old to start Pre Med? I haven't done any college but I feel like 25 is too old..

[@georgegonis3643]

Make more videos! If u can

[@NDMD]

trying my best :) definitely rotation dependent but still trying to keep up with things

[@allisonSTOCKDALE107]

Can you make a website with scans of your notes or a big book of all of it from college, med school, residency, I’d pay good money for it.

[@chaboi8543]

No bucees in CT sadly

[@NDMD]

I know right 😭😭

[@rahulvidwans8975]

Some type of ortho surgery?

[@rahimarshad4191]

Enjoyed watching the case, studying for step 1 rn

[@NDMD]

One step at a time, literally lol

[@patriciawright4122]

My guess: hip surgery or some type of amputation

[@walid1701]

My guess would be an arthroscopy

[@LAFD54]

Deviated Trach was an obvious!

[@NDMD]

Great catch :)

[@michaelscott33]

the USMLE CS is a waste of time. It’s completely unrealistic and serves no one. In reality, it should penalize for over-ordering. I do know that the COMLEX apparently penalizes for this, but either way it’s a scam.

[@NDMD]

agreed, but i don't make the rules 🤷‍♂️ i've ranted about it enough in my videos. i dont hate the player, i just hate the game

[@eli.science]

Some sort of ENT case? Sounded like a debridement

[@NDMD]

Ooooo close

[@ElisaiahEllsworth]

So bitlife
