Oh my goodness, from saying "I'm a 4th year medical student, at Kings College London" to saying "I'm a doctor" I felt joy, seeing how hard you have worked to achieve this. Congratulations to you, and ALL BEST WISHES ! on this new adventure Doctor.

[@boohoo34]

Hearing you say “I’m a doctor” in the intro after all these years watching you is surreal. Congrats Nasir on your hard work 😃

I watched you for years and I would think about the day you would call yourself a DOCTOR. I am so so so proud of you. IT'S FINALLY HAPPENING. you are such an inspiration and hardworking.. you not only deserved this but you earned it.

[@jaydaly2254]

Everyone is so proud of you Nasir..stay strong on those draining days you will get through it and be a great doctor

[@sydney19931]

Hearing you call yourself a doctor and not a medical student is amazing! Congratulations on graduating! :D

[@Cote_d_Azur_Ceramics]

When I found your channel I was in med uni really really struggling and trying to figure out what is wrong. You helped me to understand that medicine is not for me - I watched you being super exited talking about human body and understood that I am also That passionate, but about different things! You helped me quit my med uni and have courage to move 11.000 km by myself to Europe and next month will be the start of my first year as a marine biology student. Seeing you becoming a doctor is so surreal in a way, but I feel so proud of both of us!!!

[@adara971]

Woww, such a unique story.✨ It takes courage to accept yourself and change the course of your life, especially when one comes as far as you had. Well done! Proud of you!

Nasir helped me aswell, I got a really decent score enough to get into a med school but seeing the life style it just isn’t for me. I want to be a pilot now.

[@Amelia.foster22]

I’m only 8 minutes in but my goodness is this sooo helpful for understanding how your job works within a ward. I’m nearly a third year nursing student in the UK and I never fully understand your routine in the ward and how everything links in with ours. I’m definitely going to be asking to sit in on more MDT meetings in the future. Side note: as everyone else is saying, you saying F1 Doctor again and again sounds insane. We’re all so proud.

[@ramizaashraf8581]

SO PROUD OF YOU DOC!

[@No_Bj]

It is so motivating to see that you have finally reached your goal of being a doctor! I genuinely hope that you will have the best time working and living your dream of helping others!

[@CajunKoiAcademy]

DOCTOR!!! love to hear it Nasir. Good to know you're still alive and well

[@ahmed21273]

I just want to say that I’m super proud of you! I’ve been watching you for years and you’ve helped me a lot as a medical student with all sorts of things in the field of medicine and what to expect in the future. Seeing and hearing you finally making it makes me so happy for you and I wish you all the best. Thank you for your videos and for all you do👏🏽👏🏽

[@nygelburwell7533]

Greetings from California. Just found your videos this morning (I was looking for tips on note taking), your videos came up. Congrats to you for all your late, early, long nights & days of studying....all paid off. A great sense of accomplishment. Now please .... take great care of your patients. We need more outstanding doctors that see patients as an individual human beings not just a number. I'm proud what you've accomplished & I have great respect for people like you. Keep on being awesome.

[@pointbreak4490]

So much respect for you, so so so much respect. You ve helped me pass my exams, now entering my second year of medschool, and seeing that the hard work actually pays off makes it all worthwhile. Congrats Nassir, you re an amazing person and role model

[@da_realbolt1241]

As a high school senior, you’re my role model Nasir! Thank you and congrats!

Congratulations Nasir, you're a great example of how balancing life, studies and work. I wish you the best in this new chapter and you become great doctor.

[@hannesbengtsson7164]

Incredibly valuable insights, Dr. Nasir! I genuinely got so happy when I saw that you had uploaded a new video! Much love and best of luck in the future! ❤️

[@maggielam401]

Also graduated from med school this year in Hong Kong and working as a intern - quite interesting to see how the on call system works in other places! If we are on call that day, here we have our normal 7:30am till 6pm shift, followed immediately by on call from 6pm till next morning, and have to continue with our day duty till 6pm, which means we would have been working for 36 hours straight before going home!

[@KharmaMedic]

That’s a madness! Must be exhausted by the end

[@JoseDDespaigne]

Yeah the UK on-call system is fascinating, I'm also a medical graduate this year from Panama (Latin America) doing the internship and the on-call system is more similar to the HK on-call system we also have a 36-48 hours shift when we are on-call. I think the UK on-call is better for the staff and the patients 🤣

[@lakshithakodithuwakku1073]

In Sri Lanka 🇱🇰 same as Hong Kong it's make me jealous about UK system

[@s.m.g.4066]

Can’t wait for the day when I’ll get to introduce myself as the doctor! Have been a part of your journey for many years now and am so proud of you!

you didn't know how much you've been inspiring me through my degree years. lots of love

[@tanyadevice2465]

It’s amazing how time flies. I remember first stumbling across your channel in late 2019, when I think u were in second year, and watching you all over the pandemic, deciding I wanted to hopefully become a doctor someday, and now you’re done with five years of med school, USMLE, and already started working as a FY1!

[@nandinipancholi8194]

Its so good to see you back !! All the very best for your future Nasir

[@m.mvibes297]

Very inspiring and motivating to see how far you have come.l have journeyed with you since you were medical student and now a Doctor just amazing and inspiring.CONGRATULATIONS!!!!!🎉🎉

[@C.Tara.L]

As an ER nurse, the medical field is extremely difficult and demanding. I can feel your level of stress in the video lol but it gets better as you learn prioritization and as you grow in your clinical skills. You will become more confident and many things will become like second nature. Thank you for your service and remember to take care of you first ☺️

[@CrisTryingToBeProductive]

That could apply to any person starting to work after graduation 😊, I guess what changes is how demanding a field is.

[@georgevisan973]
