Leave some recommendations for places to check out as I get settled into Connecticut over the next few weeks :) And of course check out TrueLearn and use code “NDMD25” for $25 off their amazing practice questions! truelearn.referralrock.com/l/NDMD25

Best coffee in Nhvn is the jitter bus

[@dante.88]

keep us updated on what is going on with you Andy.. I deeply understand you cause I am going to leave my family, my country and all the things behind to start a new chapter in my medical life. It is gonna be hard at the beginning but as the life goes I guess we will be so proud of ourselves for keeping the art of medicine alive.

I live in New Haven and work in the ICU at Yale - hope you will be dropping patients off to me from the OR :) New Haven is a fantastic little city and the surrounding areas are wonderful, as well. We have a very diverse population and the food is incredible for a city its size. Try Lyman Orchards for golf (and delicious apple cider donuts in the fall). There's too many great restaurants to name them all but these come to mind: Camacho Garage, Mecha Noodle, Tavern on State, Coromandel, Haven Hot Chicken, Soul de Cuba, and really anything in Little Italy/Wooster Square. WELCOME!

[@NDMD]

omg i'm sure i'll definitely be working with you guys during intern year and definitely post-op in my CA years, pls be nice to the new residents we're trying our best and thank you for all your help in advance :). definitely adding all those places to my list!

[@ambernicole1692]

These are all my favorite places omg 🥰 New Haven has the best food

[@danaful]

Welcome to Connecticut and Yale, I work at the med school. The food trucks on Cedar are cheap and plentiful. Don't miss the shoreline towns, particularly Guilford and Madison, they're absolutely what you think of when you think of New England. The town of Mystic is obviously adorable with some amazing restaurants. We're creeping into farmer's market season and if you ever get a Sunday off, go to the Coventry farmer's market, it's worth the drive. Enjoy New Haven! It has a lot to offer.

[@NDMD]

so many great suggestions!

[@teeresagai]

Welcome to Connecticut!! I was born and raised about an hour away from New Haven. Yale campus is beautiful. You are so right when you stated it feels like Hogwart. Hope you will find your next 4yrs here to be enjoyable and memorable. Enjoy the change of seasons. Fall is beautiful. Winter will take some getting use to you will either love it or hate it. Two of my favorite coffee spots in New Haven are Common Grounds and Book Trader Cafe. Congrats again on your residency at Yale!

[@NDMD]

cant wait! and will definitely be adding those spots to the list :)

[@nicolemsla]

I am genuinely excited for whats to come on your residency, congratulations once again for making it to Yale 🎉. Can't wait for your vlogs and podcasts as well

[@leannedumeny4273]

Have a great time exploring your new home and best wishes settling in and finding your community! I can't wait to explore my new city as well in a few weeks (before things get hectic...😅)!!

[@evanr.battallio1115]

This channel is inspiring, dope, and something that made me feel like I was there with you (minus the tests and early mornings). Congrats man.

[@stuartmauger3933]

Welcome man! I am just finishing my Pediatric Dental residency at Yale. It's a great place to be! We work a fair amount with the anesthesia teams in the Children's OR. Great attendings there to be sure. Don't forget to try the Pizza. One 6 Three is my favorite spot!

[@NDMD]

congrats to you for finishing up! can't wait to start and I know ill be spending a good bit of time in the pediatric ORs leading up to fellowship applications :) but one step at a time

[@sonnytran7987]

It's so inspiring for young people, Andy., Congratulations! 👏👏👏

[@NDMD]

[@ec2749]

new haven and peaceful... I dont know about that but dont let an internet random kill your postiive vibes. Good luck and looking forward to your videos.

[@SheaBae31]

Andy, I am so excited and proud of you. I will be applying to Anesthesia residency next year. You give me hope!

[@NDMD]

[@Ethanvaladez637]

CONGRATSS ANESTHESIA RESIDENTT!

Anesthesia!!!!👏🏿👏🏿👏🏿👏🏿

[@leslienkwonia1075]

Another lovely video Andy!!❣

[@ALISHISNOIUS]

You gotta try the pizza!!!! 🍕 good for the soul it ain't easy being cheesy

[@hannahtyler6293]

Ironically I just moved from CT to Augusta for the summer! Best of luck in this new chapter and if you have a chance I recommend checking out Devil’s Hopyard State Park, Mystic, and a Bridgeport Islanders game once hockey is back in season! (For coffee, if you’re ever near New Canaan try Zumbach’s!!)

[@NDMD]

what are the odds haha, will definitely add those to my list!

[@marciawellman8668]

Willoughby’s is the best coffee!! French Roast Sumatra. Welcome to New Haven.

[@sgtOOX]

Welcome to anesthesia man, I'm a new attending at Brown next door over in RI and love every day of it. You're gonna love New England, especially in the fall, make sure to travel up to Vermont New Hampshire Maine etc as well. If you wanna breeze through residency, go over the Stanford CA1 guide during intern year know it cold, and then CA1 year, grind truelearn, make some anki for it and you will absolutely crush the ITEs

[@NDMD]

Already got the Stanford CA1 guide printed out haha thank you so much! Definitely looking forward to the northeast for this next chapter

[@fennsuter9033]

Book Trader Cafe is a great study spot! Might be a bit out of the way, but good vibes and great people!

[@NDMD]

definitely adding to my list!

[@allisonSTOCKDALE107]

the light up octagons in the back of your desk would be cool

[@drnickbella]

Enjoy Connecticut! Its a great state with so much to offer 😎

[@NDMD]

looking forward to it!

[@purpleconundrum783]

To quote that Saint of Electronica, Mr. Norman Cook (Fatboy Slim), You've come a long way, baby :)

[@kiyoshichandler2309]

Congrats buddy! I am from CT originally and I’ll tell you the pizza scene is fantastic. However, being in the city of the original hamburger, you have to go to Louis’ lunch for the place that the hamburger actually was created.

[@NDMD]

will definitely check it out!

[@michaeltyree567]

congratulations

[@anonymous-user-2024]

Congratulations on your match and your next chapter! Any thoughts on UWORLD vs TRUELEARN for shelf exams?

[@NDMD]

both are pretty great! i'd say first go with the program your school provides (if they do) and then after that is personal preference. I have heard amazing reviews from both and I tried both with negligible difference tbh and I scored fairly well on shelfs

[@fran0162]

Great city!! Def Hogwarts feel in the campus!! Another great vlog!

[@josphellihsilak4588]

Congrats, man. Sallys is way better though.

[@NDMD]

hahaha to each their own

[@jennuinn]

Hi Andy!! Congratulations

[@NDMD]

thank you :) honestly i have no idea, i find them off of epidemic sound which i use for non-copyrighted music...maybe shazam can help?

[@chaboi8543]

Bro when you get to Yale get some Zuppardis

[@ambernicole1692]

(Silent Watcher) but were you walking around Yale a couple weeks ago? I could’ve sworn I saw you while I was at a red light. 😂

[@NDMD]

hahaha that checks out to when i was there. always feel free to say hi :)

[@ty043]

Did you do an away at Yale?

[@alexhayden5120]

youll hate it here in the winter bro

[@allisonSTOCKDALE107]

hold up. are you from SC? Im in sc Wando high school.

[@mazda5743]

Hey Nguyen, let’s hang out and play some tennis. I got extra rackets and balls.

[@justhuman6032]

Have you seen any IMGs matched there?

[@NDMD]

Yup got a couple in my class!

[@justhuman6032]

OMG thanks man! This is inspiring for me as I am a foreign medical student and looking to do my residency in the US. I still have 3 years to graduate... Should I start learning research now in your opinion to increase my chances of getting matched?

[@justhuman6032]

P.S you are the coolest med guy on yt...I wish I had you as a friend

[@vistastructions]

Nguyen coffee!!

[@NDMD]

always repping :)

[@vistastructions]

@@NDMD I saw a bunch of coverage on Sahra. Glad that people are actually loving it!

[@joshbritton]

Transition at 3:35 was too clean… unless it wasn’t a transition at all 🤣

[@NDMD]

hahah just a smooth transition

[@yellowdued]

i thought you were black from your youtube avatar

[@BroadwayDuchess13]

@yellowdued -- He's not, so what is the point of the "I thought you were black from your youtube avatar" comment?

[@yellowdued]

@@BroadwayDuchess13The question should be what did you take from that comment.

[@reddbendd]

I don’t know why residents complain about low pay. You don’t hear student nurse anesthetists complaining- they get paid $0 during their 3yr residency period. I don’t wanna hear residents complaining about low pay when SRNAs don’t get paid at all. It’s annoying imo

[@rlubinga]

This is a false equivalency because resident physicians are not the same as student nurse anesthetists who are still in school. A better comparison to SNRAs would be medical students who are also not getting paid during rotations because they are students learning.

[@queenkami99]

@@rlubingaI think they said that because in CRNA school you are prohibited from working. Some schools make you physically sign a contract that state you can’t be employed. So that’s 3 years where you’re not earning money. Versus in medical school and nursing school you can still work if your actually wanted to
