My Entire MD Degree in 25 Minutes

I applied to medical school at the age of 21, and I didn't start my first job as a doctor until I was 31. Talk about delayed gratification. But my medical journey is not the typical one that you would expect. In this video, I reflect on the highs and lows of the medical career, and everything I learned on the way.

Thank you to everyone who has shared their amazing stories, both here and in DMs, it means the world 🙏. ps don’t forget to Like ;)

[@brucedwaynezabdieldecastro4065]

Sir can you have another video about your medical journey but longer? Like a 1 hr video or 40 mins i'm down to listen 😩. Will help us students who are ignorant and have no connections aside from influencers like you! That would be great thank you so much

[@freddenstman8773]

I’m a surgeon. Been working in the O.R. for 45 yrs. I listened to your presentation with interest. I won’t be around to hear it, but I’m curious how you’ll feel when you hit 50 or 60 years old, if you last that long. Spoiler….there is no top of the mountain, if you’ve chosen wisely. Your goals keep changing. Good luck.

[@CajunKoiAcademy]

These are some of the wisest words I’ve ever heard, thank you for taking the time to listen and share your thoughts. You’ve made an immeasurably great impact on us all

[@Justshredman]

I can kinda relate to the “everyone else is moving on” thing. I started school when I was 24, not for medicine but radiology tech. I wanted to get the best grades I could get on all my prerequisites so I could get accepted into the course with out having to retake any prerequisites. While none of my friends went to school, they are all married and what seems to have moved on. I have an additional two years left in my schooling before I graduate. I say all this because if you’re going to school to better yourself as a person then by all means go for it. Don’t do it for a title or “it’s because what we do” because the time it takes and the amount of effort will be grueling for you.. And your friends won’t understand but that’s ok, when you graduate and are able to make an appropriate living with out the help of mom or dad. Not there’s anything wrong with that but it’s a liberating feeling. When your married friends are struggling to make ends meet, then they’ll understand why you chose to better yourself now. rather then later

[@jhnhrsn262]

Success is not linear. 💯❤

[@sixtomartinez1968]

Thanks man, that comment gave me some perspective. Goodluck in you're school you got this !

[@antonytorr714]

Thanks for this 🙏🏼

[@Wills276]

Thank you this is the kinda massage I need at the moment right now. Wish me all the best as I will soon start medUni.

[@Justshredman]

@@sixtomartinez1968 We all experence something similar at one point or another in our lives! Thanks for the motivation, I'm doing my absolute best!!

[@mvh2834]

watched it all through, really good story telling..

[@CajunKoiAcademy]

Thanks for being here :)

[@cahyaparamita5711]

I love how he actually learns and knows so much, but still really radiates humble and genuine kindness.. please keep up the good work! Idk why I just found your channel by now, but it‘s so inspiring!

[@CajunKoiAcademy]

Appreciate you taking the time, glad you found us!

[@gigiazcuna1799]

My daughter is in med school and this is her life, I cannot fathom what she's going through at times, this vlog made me. Thank you for sharing, doc. And you are such a great storyteller, your voice is soothing as well.

[@defaultrems]

how’s it going for her :)

[@reace7153]

Your story made me realize my own vulnerabilities. It just makes me feel more inspired to be able to listen someone else’s story with all the tiny details that transpire what it truly feels like to be human. I find it cathartic.

[@LuigiGonzales]

10 years of dedication, hard work, and sacrifice is no big deal when the passion is there!

[@CajunKoiAcademy]

Haha times flies when your having fun

[@francisbagabaldo7734]

Great insight. I’m currently in med school but I do not consider being a doctor as an end in itself. I just consider medicine as one of the many interests (or mountains) that I wanna pursue in life. Thank you for this, man.

[@leonadelbarba1828]

I think that’s one of the most, maybe even the most inspiring video I ever watched. Just the last 5 minutes when you were talking about happiness were just amazing! I want to be a doctor one day and I’m working hard for it but I think to enjoy the journey is so important. I love this video! Thank you!

[@CajunKoiAcademy]

Wow if my little story is enough to inspire you to become a good doctor it was all worth it. Thanks for taking the time :)

[@lexovi]

doctors are seriously great legends!✨ you guys are my inspiration 😭 💯

[@CajunKoiAcademy]

Thank you so much for being here especially for your hour!

[@0p41]

Really captivating and inspiring story. I almost shed a tear just listening, imagining the hardships, sacrifices, and emotions you felt during this journey. Really motivating, congrats on your achievements, wish you the best!

[@bradeysbrain179]

Hey man this was a really great video, very real and intimate, I cried a few times haha. Really authentic insight into your world and career path and growth as a person. You have a lot of dedication and drive and have reflected deeply on aspects of your development. One of your best yet, keep em coming.

[@CajunKoiAcademy]

Hey man, that means a lot. Making this was very therapeutic for me, and if it was able to help you and others gain some insight into your own lives as well then totally worth it. Appreciate the love

[@yipengwang4202]

Thank you for this summary of your medicine journey. Being a high schooler who is also thinking about pursuing this career, I have gained a sense of direction from this video. I may also experience all of these stories one day, not long from now, and I feel excited for that. Wish me good luck! Hope you have a great doctor journey lying ahead.

[@d-ishm3561]

This has become one of my most favorite videos i've ever watched. Thank you so much for inspiring me to enjoy the journey and not postpone happiness!

[@user-vy7dg8zh3z]

Weirdly, that made me emotional. You have such a nice way of telling what is in your head ( which I’m lack of). Thanks a lot for these wonderful minutes. sending my best wishes to you from a medical student, Saudi Arabia.

[@annebagenda629]

Thank you for this vlog. Very very informative for me. Am starting internship soon, hope I enjoy the journey. I love to learn too.

[@ifiemilucianoobuala9324]

Been watching your channel for a minute now. You are a massive inspiration! I'm an electrical engineering major in my 2nd year. Mentally draining journey so far, but your channel gives me hope.

[@ivani217]

Wasn't expecting this video to turn into such a beautiful life lesson. Thank you!

[@CajunKoiAcademy]

Me neither lol thanks for watching

[@princepscretaceus1046]

Wow, this video made me emotional and I wasn't expecting that. I never thought about how hard the stories in the life of a med student can be. Wanting to get into med school myself, this video has really made me appreciate doctors more than I already did, of course the video also scared me a decent amount because I'm thinking about all the sad encounters and hardships this life comes with, but it motivates me to think that these hardships make it all the more fulfilling when it pays off after being there for someone who needs your help when no one else, not even their family, can help them. Thank you so much for the insight.

[@1220MrCool]

This was incredibly heartwarming to hear. I sincerely appreciate you kindly sharing your journey thus far. I am very glad I clicked and watched through this whole video because I am finishing graduate school in Applied Statistics and realized my passion comes from the theoretical aspects and sharing my knowledge and learning with others. I realized about a year ago that my passions come from learning daily. Whether it ties to my job or not. And of course, tackling challenges - rock-climbing, weightlifting/powerlifting, skydiving, chess, Rubik's cube - there is so much to try. I don't want my life to be centralized and fixated upon solely enjoying my career. I felt that was the message you are unintentionally verbalizing. Rather, you want to progressively learn (as you mentioned "keep climbing"). That is what I hope for. I have a fear of the unknown with the industry of statistics, but I hope to keep learning and growing in theory and applications related to Math and Statistics and utilize my knowledge to help others. You also gave me an idea on possibly concocting my own KZbin channel on learning to learn and becoming a better critical thinker with theory and applications starting with Discrete Math/tying it into life. Thank you again. I loved the content and effort you put into your video.

[@slh8523]

randomly stumbled upon this video and I'm glad I watched it! I'm a new grad nurse. I recently got my dream job at my dream hospital and I totally relate to what you said when you get to the top of the mountain. I just had that moment where I was wondering "so...what's next?". It's kind of like an empty feeling after you finished a great show or a book. But like you said the passion for learning is still there. I'm learning everyday at my new job and looking forward to learn more about different specialties in the future. Also thinking about teaching so who know I may go back to school for another degree in the future. I'm glad that I wasnt the only one who had that "empty" feeling when your dream is fulfilled. Definitely gonna enjoy and appreciate the journey in my future mountains climbing!

[@ItsNicolau]

Amazing video, thank you for this beautiful story.

[@giorgibregadze8934]

Thank you, i don't feel as much anxiety anymore, now i'm just excited for what's to come, i'm 17 and i just started tbilisi state medical university in Georgia, honestly with the amount of workload we have i just felt sick all the time, but you made me realise that if you approach studying with a better mindset it becomes much easier and more interesting instead of being stressful, also all my life i didn't really prioritize my social life ,because i thought it wasn't as important, i've been so focused on getting here i lost track of a lot of things, but now i think that social life is what get's us through our hardships in life, it's what makes life worth living. Thank you for this video, truly ♥️

[@stevendoan4676]

This is exactly the motivation I need right now to preserve through A&P II. I just need to focus on climbing... thank you!!

[@JrThePro]

Probably first video I watched from beginning to end without skipping one second. Amazing video, great story. Just applied to dental school so hoping to have a story to tell one day!

[@NajiaHussain]

I’m starting my first attending job in a few days on the same timeline as you. When you spoke about the impact of the pandemic on our training it made me really emotional. It’s not an easy experience to explain. Stay safe ✌🏾

[@zacharygraham9208]

"Calculus, general physics, and organic chemistry are useless courses as a physician." Those courses are the ones I'm struggling with heavily and the reason why I feel like I won't become a physician 😑

[@willjeffries3969]

"Organic Chemistry Tutor" on youtube saved my life for that class. Highly recommend, I am sure there are options for calc and physics too but I am only familiar enough to recommend the Organic Chemistry Tutor.

[@Eric-sq4hd]

OrGo was my favorite class hahhaha

[@bosorot]

Those difficult subjects are not meant for you to use it , but they test how hard you can study . You do not need to be very smart but you need to work really hard in medical school.

[@fabiothebest89lu]

I wouldn't say they are useless, but yeah I'd make the program a bit less difficult than that of those who have those subjects as major

[@alexsmith3598]

This is because school courses are made by people that have no fucking clue what any job actually requires.

[@tisa.wardani]

I'm so happy you included that Soul clip. It was my favorite scene. Especially the part afterwards when the lady told him about the fish analogy. Anyway, I'm a final year medical student myself and I love your videos. You guys really inspire me. Thank you :)

[@CajunKoiAcademy]

Means a lot coming from someone who shares in the struggle, bless you for devoting your life to helping others

[@leanoureddine3618]

Thank you so much for this video. Truly heartwarming and inspiring

[@Thesgfire]

That last sentence was very impactful 💯 good video my friend 🙌

[@MLA0686]

Wow, thank you so much. It was such a privilege to watch this video. Thank you!

[@jazzy9375]

Love your mindset. I’m the same way about learning.

[@juliemvo]

It's definitely the journey :) Thank you for your love for learning and dedication! Always inspiring and always uplifting!

[@CajunKoiAcademy]

And thanks for all your encouragement for so long!

[@graciephil]

Beautiful message! Pierced right thru my heart.

[@shriyasrinivasanrao7655]

Amazing video! I am a medical student and more than relating I actually learnt a lot! Gonna change somethings now 😀. Thanks for normalising drs learning buisness( Where I come from it , they think it's a crazy combination) . Also thank you for those amazing experience.Thank you. Taking the time to tell the world what you learnt is amazing🎉🔥.

[@CajunKoiAcademy]

Thanks for taking the time to watch, it was a long video but if it gave you even a little bit of insight into your own work then that makes me happy and it was worth it!

[@MindsettoMastery]

Wow, what a beautiful video. Thanks for sharing your story, I really enjoyed that. I can relate to everything you said about enjoying the journey to the top, rather than fixating on reaching the top!

[@CajunKoiAcademy]

Thanks for taking the time to watch! Good luck on your KZbin journey, enjoy the small wins :)

[@tk_attack]

This is one of the best used 25minutes I have ever had on KZbin. Very encouraging and insightful.

[@scottmoore765]

So many things I could say. So I'll say that it was a blessing to find your channel and watch this video. Your accreditations and humility are a perfect blend, inspiring. It's the same desire for learning that has propelled me in my career in technology, medicine, and life as well. Very glad I found your channel and hope you continue to do great things while enjoying the journey. Be blessed and be well.

[@CajunKoiAcademy]

Wow appreciate the love and bless you for kind words

[@JemShrewd]

Great video! Appreciate you sharing your journey and honest thoughts.

[@ChucaMaMa61]

Honestly, thank you...I value your insight and what you learned in reflecting on your journey. It has given me the opportunity to reframe my current perceptions as I near the end of my Ph.D. program. Sending you positive energy!

[@CajunKoiAcademy]

Thanks for watching, means a lot and appreciate the love!

[@darkempire6050]

This is one of the best KZbin videos i have ever seen. No kidding, i always tought "inspirational" videos were cheesy and just rich people flexing. But you were really honest and sincere about everything you said. Really enjoyed this video and that soul analogy as well 😀👍

[@hsg2422]

Great video- thanks for sharing your touching story. I’m going to forward this to my daughter who is currently an MS3. She graduated with bachelor’s in chemistry with a biology minor. I think she’ll find your chemistry opinion funny 😄

[@b100dr4g3]

Love this video, definitely appreciate the insight. My favourite video from the channel so far tbh

[@CajunKoiAcademy]

Haha thanks man and so happy to hear from you hope you’ve been good

[@DA-bb1jc]

Mike, this is the most inspiring and insightful video i've ever seen. Bravo!

[@RogerGonzalezRR]

Wow man !!! very well said!! its crazy how we are always chasing the next test or thing and we lost track of the actual journey. but when we look back that's what we remember and what bring a smile to our face. beautifully said my dude!!

[@CajunKoiAcademy]

Thanks for taking the time man

[@theemargot1775]

[@virgobeautygg]

This warmed my heart to watch and connect with you more. If you were near, I would hug you. Amazing. Inspiring. Heartfelt. Honest. Thank you for sharing.

[@peanutbutterandjellyfish792]

You and your brother are such huge inspirations to me, you struggle with a lot of the same things, love the same things, and have the same goals as me. You achieved them. You did it. I can too. Thank you.

[@taqwaadam320]

One of the most inspiring videos I have ever watched. The take away message is enjoy the journey.

[@tessa5432]

Iam a first year nursing student and your video has really inspired me through these tough times.I really be wishing to pass these years of courses just soon as possible and not able to see the things that are allowing me to learn and small happiness around me .it just really it me when you said you didn’t felt the epic happiness when you Reached the destination and it’s the moment of those happiness and and experiences along the journey that’s counts.thank you Doctor your story was worth watching and changed my perspective of life 🤍🙏🏻sending you light and abundance

[@LaLaBlahBlahh]

Wow I’m finding this so relatable even though I’m not in medicine yet. I’m in my final year of nursing and am on track to (hopefully) start in 2023. I’ve also done a psychology degree and a business masters haha! I totally get your love of learning and am glad that was something that helped you get through med school as I’m hoping it will help me as well!

Amazing story sir I found it relateable ✌️🙇🏻‍♀️

[@yaaminmohamed8258]

Wow this video was just amazing. It’s crazy how motivated you are to learn. Managing the rigours of a medical degree course is difficult enough, but the fact you also took a business degree course blew my mind. I’m starting medical school next month after so many years of hard work in school and this has really motivated me but more importantly, opened my eyes to the struggles of the long journey of becoming a doctor. Thank you Doctor Mike.

[@CajunKoiAcademy]

That’s amazing thanks for dedicating yourself to helping others, there’s so much to learn in and around medicine, wish you all the best

[@emadeldeensaeed8045]

Always having an amazing contents guys … You always motivate us. Keep the outstanding job 👍🏽

[@CajunKoiAcademy]

Hey thanks man glad to have you with us !

[@jtan514]

I did a year of residency but quit due to circumstances in the hospital I was working fueled by the pandemic. I can relate with what you said about how the more difficult cases gave us more confidence in managing patients. The high of learning and saving lives is really fulfilling. I'm currently doing community work as a GP and is still contemplating if I will go back for residency. Thank you for sharing your journey. The desire to learn more was again ignited in me. Will definitely go back to residency training,

[@sandmistbreeze]

Such an honest video!I am coming back from my covid shift. I look at most of my friends who took engineering and how they get to spend time with family, do what they like and explore new things in life and here I am dreaming to have a proper 8 hour sleep but hey !thank God I am alive 😭 -med student -

Very interesting story I found you very smart , intelligent and insight? I like the part of your positive attitude about learning! It paid off you are a successful MD. Very inspiring indeed!

[@Ejt819]

This video really motivated me to pursue my dream of becoming a physician even though I’m already 29 years old and a Dad now. Still have to climb that mountain for 10 years LOL. Just me and my nearly impossible dream. Good video content doctor. Keep uploading more! Keep inspiring!

[@CajunKoiAcademy]

Thanks for watching and for all that you do

[@byombyom6107]

always love hearing you talking guys. What's actually really refershing is the well balanced and critical review with a maybe slightly less enthuasiastic imaging. But it's real an honest. And I think in those social media glare times this honest approach is what's really has been missing a lot lately. So thanks! I'm in year 2 so hoepfully Covid will be beaten soon'

[@CajunKoiAcademy]

Glad to hear your honest thoughts, it’s a tough crowd we make these videos for lol, and yea hoping for the best stay safe out there when you spend time around the sick

[@bfesix8508]

i appreciate all the hard work which you have put in to make this video...... it was amazing (love from IN)

[@BboyShake370]

Inspired me to reflect on my own journey! Great video!

So happy to hear, that makes it all worth it !

[@andersnelson6888]

I've watched hundreds of these pre-med type videos... This is the best one. Best composed. Best theme throughout. Just so good. Right in the feels. For real.

[@TapchinE]

I enjoyed every second of this video .. you literally said almost everything I felt up until residency though🥴. New subie.. ❤️

[@panagiotachasan9935]

You have no idea how less alone this video and others like it made me feel. Although I cant believe I didn't discover this channel sooner, I am so glad I did now at a time I feel as though I needed it the most. Thank you for all that you two do and you have my full support!

[@CajunKoiAcademy]

So glad you found us and you are def not alone we’re here for you!

[@allengrootboom5680]

Bro I really love this video. The quality the little jokes the relaxing lofi in the back ground. Truly tops

[@CajunKoiAcademy]

Thanks for taking the time means a lot

[@khoatruong91]

I just started my nursing school at the age of 30. I have been living in Finland and trying to figure out my happy trail. However I don’t get it there so I aim for new nursing program so it will help to have more opportunities in different countries than here. Your video has many interesting points based on your life experiences through study and work. 3.5 years to go then hopefully I can relocate my work and career path.

[@rafaellaoishi5887]

well, this video was amazing, i'm going to save it to rewatch many times

[@12ysis]

I love this.❤❤❤ This is one of your the best videos I have ever watched so far. It seems as if you're personally talking to me 😭😭😭😭..whoa!!!

[@yugiohforce1]

amazing to hear about the whole process

[@CajunKoiAcademy]

[@dgricus]

Thank you for this wonderful video!

[@susanafuentes9934]

Thank you so much i needed this. Im going to climb that mountain to become a chef and im going to enjoy every minute of it thanks to your video😁😁😁😁

[@mitchellflori8266]

I not only love your story, I love your journey and your insight into your own situation after reflecting. A lot of this resonated heavy with me, I am in my final year of my MD after studying a Bachelor of Pharmaceutical science and a Master of Pharmacy followed by pharmacy internship and registration, and now I am in my 11th year of study. Being a student during the pandemic left holes in my learning experience which are going to be either obvious deficits during junior years or holes forever. Watching this video made me realise when residency starts, life should start. The pay check should cover what it needs, but ultimately used to enjoy life.

[@mitchellflori8266]

I liked and followed in full support of your story.

[@michaeldr5120]

great video! quite inspiring and relatable!

[@doctorkiki6764]

"having good grades isn't enough to get into medical school" I totally agree with that u gotta continue working hard, I became a doctor 2 years ago and I'm still studying for the speciality

[@CajunKoiAcademy]

It never ends haha what specialty are you studying for?

[@doctorkiki6764]

Hahah yeah, I want cardiology 🥺💗

[@glittermeaway]

LOVED the message thank you so much!

[@MatthewOceanXVX]

I find it insane when being a doctor is someone’s first job. Then again I’m 31 and attending medical school at 32, since I didn’t attend college until age 29. I’ve had a dozen jobs when I didn’t know what I wanted to do with my life. I’m always unsure if my being older helps or hinders my journey to medical school and eventually becoming a doctor.

[@fabiothebest89lu]

age won't matter. You just need to put in the work. It won't be easy, but again age doesn't matter.

[@newshoegaze]

choppa

[@user-jr6pv8mb9o]

age doesn't matter! You'll definitely be a great doctor someday ^^

[@chelsyvang265]

You re not gonna make it. You will regret it. Please re read this twenty years later. I dare you. DOUBLE dog gone DARE you.

[@MrsKaylakat56]

I'm not a med student and have never planned to be one lol so I wasn't initially interested in this video. Now I'm so glad that I watched it! I'm a 2nd year Biomedical Engineering student. I've been really struggling in college/still figuring out how to learn and I'm uncertain about my future after graduation, but I do really love the material. It just meant a lot to hear that it's okay to just enjoy the process

[@CajunKoiAcademy]

Getting you to share and getting to hear your story was what I was hoping for with this conversation. Thanks for taking the time

[@thomabow8949]

Hey I’m also A biomedical engineering student in my senior year and also struggling about life. What’s on your mind?

[@donaldmondy8970]

I watched your video reflecting on your journey to becoming a physician and I have to say. It was wonderful and more over fascinating to hear what a journey to becoming a a physician. Hearing your stories, the joy you felt to the very sorrow you had to overcome. These humbling moments showing your development as a person. Fueled by your desire and passion to learn. The overwhelming virtue of knowledge. Showing that no matter how big your "mountain" might be you can climb it. For some background I am a CNA at a hospital in Missouri. I work in our ICU and have for four months now. The experience has left me eager to learn more and to grow in the medical field. I often study and learn more medical knowledge in my free time. Having gained quite a bit from physicians to nurse practioners being more than welcoming to teaching me. Anyhow I have contemplated this for quite awhile I want to become a physician. More specifically a surgeon. Your experience along with countless others has inspired me to go for my dream and seek that knowledge. Start my own journey towards climbing that "mountain" and I'm so excited for all the moments ahead of me. So thank you very much for sharing your story and for this channel. I'm definitely going to watch more!

[@CajunKoiAcademy]

Thanks for sharing your story too! You have the mindset and curiosity to make a difference in so many peoples’ lives, good luck and best wishes :)

[@Liza_1356]
