My Response to, "Why I Didn't Ortho!"

[@DRJUDE]

Thanks for being the voice of Ortho my bro! We are here to myth bust!

[@LevelUP84]

I like your channel 👍🏼

[@LuigiGonzales]

I’m one of the students that go into medical schools thinking “I wanna be an ortho” but idk if I’m “bro” enough 😢 all jokes aside, this video was very eye opening and I learned so much! Thanks Dr. Webb!

[@antoniowebbmd]

Thanks!!

[@FacundoMD]

Good stuff man ! Good luck !

[@guillem3401]

From Barcelona (Europe) as a medical student finishing next year, I really thank you doc for this kind of content. You have set an example to keep on chasing!

[@FacundoMD]

Keep it up ! Saludos !

[@wunseq]

Great video Dr. Webb! I love orthopedics, but I'm not sure that I'm cut out for a surgical residency. Always enjoy your insight and your objective no-BS attitude when it comes to explaining things!

[@antoniowebbmd]

Thanks Luke!!

[@anserhasan457]

Im a 2nd year medical student who has always been interested in cardiology so I'm not gonna be lured into ortho Dr. Webb haha!! Nonetheless, huge respect to all surgical specialties including ortho and neuro. Thanks for a great video Dr. Webb!

[@FacundoMD]

Amen !

Interestingly enough, this encouraged me to consider orthopedic surgery again. Thank you, Dr. Webb!

[@antoniowebbmd]

Awesome!!

[@DRJUDE]

you will love it!

[@Djme2]

I've been watching Dr. Webb since before getting into med and having an interest in ortho through him. Now an M3 on rotations and turns out I don't actually really care for surgery lol. At least gen surg so far, next 2 weeks will be ortho. If still not, sports med here i come.

[@antoniowebbmd]

Ha it’s not for everyone. Just remember to say “dude” a lot on your ortho rotation, lol jk

[@TomBreazeal]

I'd love to hear what you don't like about ortho!

[@Midazolamb]

I’m all about critical care management. As a former firefighter/medic and army vet you’d think I’d gravitate towards the bluer collar mechanical aptitude tasks, but it’s actually made me more aware of my preference for intellectual work. I need both which is why I’m considering anesthesia. I’d probably shoot for ortho if I didn’t have two little kids that I can’t imagine not being able to see grow up. Do you think ortho is possible for people that value family time? From everything I’ve seen it’s pretty much for single nonparents, or those that don’t value family time. When I was doing clinicals in the OR I’ve witnessed ortho surgeons having meltdowns about how everyone is a “goddamn shift worker except me! I stay until the job is bleeping done!” Surgery is cool and I am results oriented but maybe it’s just not a good fit. I also think you can make anything a good fit with the right attitude. Let me know doc!

I’m in mourning my ortho retired. Need a new one and scared. No one is as good as Carlin Yates, why I still have me knees and shoulder. He done 10 surgeries on me.

[@joshbritton]

Orthopedics interests me, along with neuro and derm. Long competitive road ahead lol

[@antoniowebbmd]

Yes! But doable!!

[@FacundoMD]

?? Completely different feels !? MAKE SURE YOU KNOW WHY YOU ARE EVEN CONSIDERING EACH ONE? My friend left DERM for Anesthesia. Neuro you mean neurology or Neurosurgery. Also do you want surgical or NOT. AGREE is doable ! JUST DONT DO SOMETHIGN YOU WILL REGRET LATER>

[@0s0sXD]

I'm pretty sure, if you wrote down what you said in this video on a paper instead of uploading it then called kevin jubbal and had a 40 minute to 1 hour conversation with him discussing this would've been very good but more chaotic and more entertaining at the same time

[@antoniowebbmd]

Good idea!

[@peaceseeker9927]

This video was concise and educational for me, and the key is it was fair and balanced. One-on-one talks can be entertaining but they often drift and things get confused.

Hello Dr Antonio Webb

[@jonstroud3080]

Spent many years working at a Level 1 trauma hospital and attached oncology units. Saw great amount of plastic surgery based procedures as a result of trauma and cancer involvement. Definitely not Rodeo Drive, but very interesting to me.

[@antoniowebbmd]

Awesome. Thanks for sharing

[@kalebderouen3101]

Hey Dr. Webb! I have a question that I have been having trouble getting answered. I am a first-year medical student and am currently interested in both Orthopedic spine and Neurosurgery specialties. I am trying to become involved with either one of these departments at my medical school early next year to begin diving in and learning all that I can. But, I didn't know if it would hinder myself or my application if I choose to become heavily involved with my school's orthopedic spine research and resident department, then down the road ultimately decide to pursue a career in Neurosurgery (or vice versa). When looking at both specialties, my school's Orthopedic department has more clinical advantages and more avenues of research with increased autonomy, as compared to the Neurosurgery department. Just want to make the most informed decision I can, to ensure I looked at all of my possibilities and do what I can early on. Love the content,!

[@alivedivyansh]

Loved the video dr webb... Any way to chose between general surgery vs ortho residency?

[@tomasnunes4831]

I wanted Ortho, I did my master thesis in Ortho. But I think that I'm not prepared to relearn complex anatomy. I love sports, regenerative medicine, but I don't know if I'm oriented to Ortho surgery.

[@theodore738]

What about PM&R? Sports medicine?

[@mandalorian4620]

I don't get it, none of what you say would exclude ortho...

[@chase.trevino03]

"Ortho is the best" I gave you and eye wink after hearing this.

[@negativezero3107]

You may have done this one but I always was interested in the differences of old to the more lack of differences in a DO (Doctor of Osteopathy) to an MD, very interesting which I think most do not understand. Also I think a DO is misunderstood by many as a Doctor of Orthopedics, not so, my doctor for decades was a DO until she retired, my new doc is also a DO, did not chose them for that, just happened to be. What i have understood is a DO was previously much more skeletal based? well and also a whole body as opposed to a specific approach, although I have seen no differences in being treated by an MD or a DO, was it always not the case?

[@sevourn]

so if we have a 500 bench can we skip the USMLE

[@Dr.Eduardo.Deliyannis]

What dont you like about orthpaedics? really curious

[@MrBob58o]

Is an orthopedic spine surgeon the right doctor to receive care after ACDF which was done after large central herniation was causing severe spinal canal stenosis and cord deformity with myleomalacia and edema, or should I be seeing a neurologist. Im a Medicaid patient and feel like i am responsible for my own health. Leaving my care to my Dr's and the insurance company left my spinal cord in a state of reduced oxygen for 6 months while I did physical therapy before the insurance would pay for MRI.

[@anasabbas98]

speak to a neurosurgeon if it comes to spine. theyre the masters of brain and spine work

[@MegaParsia]

Having a real hard time deciding between ortho or general surgery, I'm just a junior doctor in Sweden so I have alot of time but I really enjoy big open surgeries with alot of exposed anatomy and now working in ortho I feel like that's not like that

[@washyourhandsfilthy]

Do spine surgeons like yourself perform other surgeries like knee or just 100% spine ??

[@billbill4392]

Kevin Jubal didn’t pick any medical specialty in the end so I don’t even know why that video series exists

[@tbprofile1295]

He went into Plastics and dropped out before completion, no?

[@billbill4392]

yes. He can have one video that says "why I didn't: medicine" but he is a youtuber now and needs clicks@@tbprofile1295

[@akbararain77]

Excellent fair minded analysis. Countered every point made which made ortho seem less appealing and difficult as well as debunking the myths and stereotypes, which hold no true value. Maybe Dr Jubbal added them in for entertainment purposes. Regardless, very insightful and informative video. Ortho is definitely the most diverse and in my opinion fulfilling, speciality to get into. Thankyou Dr Webb.

Awesome video! By any chance, do you know any pediatric orthopaedic surgeons who specialize in neuromuscular disorders like cerebral palsy? I would love to hear what a day in the life is like for them. I'm considering going into that particular specialty.

[@anasabbas98]

i have no real reason for being in medicine… but i bench 325 so ortho better be a guarantee match for me in 5 years idgaf

[@tw2800]

"Dr" Jubbal doesn't even practice medicine. He didn't finish his plastic surgery residency and never indicates an intention to pursue a 2nd residency....therefore I'm really not taking his video seriously. IMHO. if your going to be a good med school coach its appropriate to actually practice medicine. Otherwise you are not practicing what you preach and your coaching is not very compelling. Just my opinion. I admire youtube docs who actually practice medicine. Thanks Dr. Webb

[@Tcargoringo]

Not even gonna get into how bad this logic is. Jubbal is making videos from the perspective as a former med student, whose perspective is valuable in a different way than that of an attending doctor, and also probably more relevant to prospective students.
