As an aspiring nephrologust after im residency i do like this video

[@undeceivedelect]

"At the end of your life, all you have are memories and compensation can't buy you that" . Great words! Thank you sir!!!

[@DrAdnan]

It’s a valuable gem, I agree! Thank you for watching!

[@acd6835]

Fantastic to see this as a lifelong renal patient who has known and worked with my nephrologist for the past 30 years, including being trained by him in nephrology so I can be my own expert and empowered in my own care, it's great to see it from a Neph's perspective.

[@DrAdnan]

It’s great that you took the initiative to empower yourself for your own care. Also I’m glad you enjoyed the video- thanks for watching!

[@akhilg5676]

Thank you for sharing this! I worked as a dialysis patient care tech for over a year and will be starting med school this summer. Nephrology and internal medicine in general definitely seem interesting to me! 😊

[@DrAdnan]

No problem, good luck with med school!

[@EpikLiv]

Thank you! This helped solidify my choice to become a nephrologist..

[@DrAdnan]

No problem, thank you for watching! It’s a great specialty- I’m sure you’ll really enjoy it!

[@FrenchTipsAndFrenchies]

Thanks for doing nephro! I hardly see people interview nephrologists (:

[@DrAdnan]

HeyHiHelloBujo No problem! Thanks for watching!

[@DoctorNosa]

It’s great that you get these people to interview with you, not sure if my consultants would be up for it! Might try lol. Great video xx

[@DrAdnan]

Dr. Nosa Yeah, a lot of doctors don’t want to be on camera, and some hospitals don’t allow any recording. Thanks!

[@chibzyt5699]

This is such a great video. I came back home today after not being able to match into a Cardiology rotation (Housejob) and since nobody opted for Nephrology, I was kind of stuck there. After watching this video I feel so better and who knows what it may hold. Great interview, thumbs up

[@DrAdnan]

Thank you! Sorry to hear about the placement. Nephrology is fascinating, and who knows, maybe you’ll end up a nephrologist or at least liking it a lot more than you thought you would ;). I appreciate it, thanks for watching 🙏

[@howtomedicate]

Great interview. My mentor was a nephrologist! It is an awesome specialization 👍

[@DrAdnan]

How to Medicate Very cool, and I agree! Thank you!

[@luciforio1123]

I'm starting med school in July and just stumbled across your channel. Great stuff!! Thank you for your informative videos.

[@DrAdnan]

Hey, congrats on getting into med school!!!! Thank you for stopping by and for your positive comments! I made a video on best med school resources that might be helpful. Best of luck- feel free to ask any questions.

Wondered treatment options for a 91 year old past heart attack has itch restless legs lethargy anaemia no appetite. Would dialysis be offered etc or palliative care. Is a cough med first line palliative care med ever? Gfr was 21.

[@DrAdnan]

Sorry, I’d recommend they see a local primary care provider to assess them properly.

[@bansarip]

heyy, i want to become a nephrologist and I would like to get more info. I was trying to look for someone who could possibly guide me and provide me more information as I am thinking about doing nephrology. Could you please advise me. I would appreciate that. ❤️

[@DrAdnan]

I don’t know what stage you’re at, but first step would be getting into med school and then an internal medicine residency after medical school, and then apply for a fellowship in your last years of residency

[@malysstizouiar6376]

Great video,thank you !

No problem, thank you for watching!!

[@andrewschenker3691]

Thanks Andrew!

[@captainhml3868]

A question I would ask is how often do you have patients with Anti-GBM/Goodpasture's Disease/vasculitis?

[@DrAdnan]

Not often since they’re rare diseases- anti-gbm is around ~0.5-1.5 cases/million/yr

[@Amina-yz3ug]

You are in every video's comment section I watch .. not the one that related to medicine ,, .but yeah I guess youtube has for both of us the same algorithm 😆 Goodluck 💕

I’m usually in the med ones more- I must be slacking ;). Thank you!
