Thank you for this video! Finally someone made a comparison and mentioned lifestyle - salary balance along with residency years. Appreciate the work!

[@davinsa2004]

Nice video. The cystectomies in obgyn are for removal of ovarian cysts and not bladder removal as stated in the video. Thanx for the video.

[@prodiptushar6680]

Thank you for sharing your valuable experiences with the audience . Appreciate a lot

Im 16, and Im getting to the point where I need to consider college. Ever since I was 7, I've dreamed of being a doctor. That has (mostly) stayed consistent, and I feel like it's time I need to do more research into it. Thank you for giving such a useful, informative video.

7:33 I think you did ENT wrong in these sub specialities What I know is rhinology can do cosmetic procedures that would be better done through an ENT than a plastic surgeon as ENT people care about also function but plastic surgeries wouldn’t care about it much (that’s what my ENT mentor told me anyone you wouldn’t do a nice job to the nose of your spouse if she ends up snoring at night he’s referring to the difference between a plastic surgeon doing the job vs an ENT) They also do Skull base fellowship and essentialy can take complex cases from A-Z without a neurosurgeon, there are centers where schwannoma can be fixed up by ENT without neurosurgery specialists

[@StacyRahaka]

Amazing comment . Just started scribing at an ENT hospital and it is SO AWESOME. I always since I was 10 years old said I’ll be a neurosurgeon, but I’m learning so much so fast in ENT and it is such a vital and honestly honorable job and service to society.

[@MrFaleh1129]

14:34 what does this differ from other sub specialties The center I used to work with is mainly a specialist center where the colorectal surgeon would remove the cancer (it’s a cancer treating center mainly) So how does an oncology surgeron differ from a colorectal surgeon in tumor resection ? If I had to guess it would be oncology surgeon is like a jack of all trades in tumors where as a colorectal is only in the colorectal area of tumor resection

[@alyssastern6073]

Just finished a plastic surgery rotation. LOVED IT!!!

[@jideoguntoba9354]

ENT was not well covered. Facial plastic belong to ENT, Head and Neck reconstruction, skull base neurosurgery. They are not one of the first 5 for fun

[@TauseefClub]

Thank you for your comment. I was about to say that.

[@LaurenMichelleMD]

For ENT you left out head and neck (free flap/microsurgery), facial plastics, and peds!

[@jaysaini955]

You an ENT?

[@jaysaini955]

You an ENT?

[@appalachianenthusiast9499]

If you wanted to be meticulous, you could theoretically say that almost every specialty is surgical to some extent, especially with fellowships. Family Medicine OBs can do surgical deliveries. PM&R doctors can do Interventional Spine, which involves surgical repair of spinal decompressions. EM doctors can do an emergency Thoracotomy to gain access to the heart. Heck, even Neurology can be slightly surgical for, say, aneurysm coiling in a Neuro-Surgery/Radiology Fellowship.

[@Ben-g6p]

OBGYN fellowships like Gyn oncology and Urogyn are all surgical - should have expanded more

[@JawadAli-c4r]

Nice people, consolidate to 20 surgical subspecialties. Mergers allows doctors greater work-life-balance. In addition, it could reduce attrition in the profession.

[@o.k1175]

i was going to be a nuero surgeon probably but im thinking about ENT seriously its the most the suits me wish me luck im a class 11 student :)

[@Mr_Smackle]

you have 0 idea about even the basics of either of those fields lol. Get into med school, finish the first half then you have the capacity to start analyzing and comparing specialties. high school students and pre-meds always say stuff like this and usually dont even make the cut because they want medicine for the wrong reasons. Good luck stranger

[@o.k1175]

@Mr_Smackle uhm actually I do have a knowledge since both my parents are doctors and actually know pretty much about anatomy so thinking about the anatomy of the ENT it's not that complex compared to other sub specialties but the thing is it's competitive and well suitable for (salary's) as well as work time which suits my preference as I don't want being a surgeon for example which is far more stress, I do like surgery as well as medicine which pairs perfectly with ENT :)

[@o.k1175]

@Mr_Smackle I don't think I got a bad reason because I adore medicine and the medical field and I don't see myself doing anything else plus I know I shouldnt make assumptions maybe I'd die today or even tomorrow I just hope :) have a nice day fellow stranger

[@elisse9258]

Great video! Could you do a video about neonatal/perinatal medicine, or another vid similar to this comparing all subspecialties of medicine/peds

[@aniyahtucker2179]

Oral and maxillofacial surgery?

[@ashli3471]

It’s related to dentistry

[@holyknight9507]

It's dental so they didn't include it otherwise they could add perio as well

[@arakarakarakarak]

It’s dual dental + medical, not just dental. Should definitely be included

[@asmazarid]

@@arakarakarakarak thank you! finally someone said it ! Tired of people saying that it’s not related to medical field.

[@eloygarcia2517]

How do you become a neonatologist? Do you need to have completed a pediatric surgery residency or is it something you can pursue as an obgyn? Is there a third option im missing?

[@mickeymouse7857]

You need to do a residency in pediatrics first, then do a fellowship in neonatology. If you're asking about neonatal surgery, then you need to do a residency in general surgery first, then do a fellowship in pediatric surgery. After completing that, do another fellowship in neonatal surgery.

[@aaryaveerpandey7375]

thank you your video is helping me to make a decision on how to pursue neurosurgery

[@brianmwirigi200]

Dental surgery sub specialities?

[@aayushabit49]

I think there is an integrated 6 year pathway for CT SURGERY

[@kaitlynsharon6081]

How many years is the CT surgery fellowship

[@atilanoprincestephen1875]

Why does gen surg earn $451K but Colorectal earn $446K? Like I don't quite get it, Colerectal is a fellowship of Gen Surg, it should earn more, right?

[@guillermoflores3199]

Not necessarily. For example pediatric anything usually makes less than the adult counterpart regardless of training length

[@ruvaj]

How is Urology specified as a surgical specialty and gynaecology not really? Aren't there more surgeries in OB/GYN than urology? This can't be real...

[@JeahnaandIsaiasTorres]

He even said Ophthalmology isn’t a surgical specialty, yet there’s 7 sub specialty fellowships

[@LanaChambers-z7n]

If you were in medical school or knew anything about the field you’d know that urologists spend the majority of their time in the OR doing surgery. In fact it is the most technologically advanced field when it comes to surgery.

[@zenmusicforeveryone]

What about OMF surgery?

[@chiefchirpa561]

[@apolokaggwa7619]

At what age can a surgeon's skills and the required physical endurance wane, so that one may not be able to continue working in one's specialty?

[@theashwoodfaerie2]

Around mid to late 50s

[@apolokaggwa6521]

@@theashwoodfaerie2 It means that if surgeons of any specialty begin earning very high wages (ordinary income) of at least $300,000 a year on average, which are heavily taxed, can only do so for about 20 years; given that by the time they complete the undergraduate years, medical school and then residency both in surgery and in the "surgical sub-specialties," they would be at least 35 years old or more (55 years - 35 years = 20 years). Considering that such a surgeon pays at least 50% or more of one's income in taxes to the government, working an average of 55 hours a week or more, which is an average of 2,860 hours a year, it would amount to an average of just $52.45 per hour, as the take home pay during a lifetime of work. ($300,000 x 50% = $150,000 divided by 2,860 hours a year = $52.45). Also (55 hours a week x 52 weeks in a year = 2,860 hours a year). You can see why these highly dedicated surgeons may not be taxed fairly, even though they earn well above average wages, but only for a limited time of just 20 years after many years in training. Their years in training should be taken into consideration when being taxed since they are hard-pressed to create any wealth at all to pass on. No wonder that no physician has ever accumulated at least a billion in wealth as a medical practitioner.

[@apolokaggwa6521]

@@theashwoodfaerie2 Only 20 years of work, beginning at 35 years of age, are not enough to create any wealth to pass on, given that their WAGES (ordinary income) are heavily taxed.

[@moomenalrakab2669]

What about maxillofacial surgery 😊

[@guillermoflores3199]

They are interesting because they typically don't go to medical school. They're usually DDS or DMDs that go to a residency after dental school. However, some programs do a hybrid dental-medical approach.

[@cam609lee]

My thoughts exactly. Not even a mention. I guess it's cause it's not available to those with an MD only.

[@alysoliman7561]

Could someone choose orthopedic surgery as subspecialty after general surgery residency

[@guillermoflores3199]

No. You'd have to do a complete residency in ortho which is five years.

[@hamzaalahmad8265]

I have a question. If I'm a licensed german doctor who completed residency in germany can i work in the us or do i have to take usmle?

[@Mr_Smackle]

you have to match into a US residency program and complete it. then get board certification in the US. Taking USMLE is the first step to even applying.
