[@MariahX.5]

Just started watching your channel and I like it, but can you do a medical journey video and like all the choices you made from high school until now?😊

[@DrAdnan]

Hi• you Thats a good idea- I’ll work on it!

[@rb8947]

Great video! I am interested for Cardiac Surgery or Cardiology with Interventional procedures. I dont know what is smart choice fot me. I like surgery but wondering about the future of Cardiac Surgery while new Interventional technologies overtake most procedures from Cardiac Surgery....

[@DrAdnan]

R B Thank you! I interviewed a cardiac surgeon on this channel and asked him that question. If I remember correctly he said there are procedures being done by cards now, but there’ll still be a place for cardiac surgery. I also interviewed a cardiologist if you’d like to compare their views. I think shadowing both specialties would be helpful, but I think the deciding factor will be how much you like operating vs medicine, how competitive you are as an applicant, how much of a lifestyle you’d like, etc.
