[@raulsalcove335]

Hi Ate Aura! I watched you sa PBB before and I really admire you because you are really smart. I want sana na mag Med School but ang tinapos kung course ay hindi Pre Med, Education ang tinapos ko so maybe di talaga para sa akin ang Med School. Manonood nalang ako ng vlogs mo para feeling na sa Med School/Field din ako. #DoktAURA

[@sweetsugarfil-canmom7389]

true- pag dito ka na sa Canada back to zero ka rin-mag aral ka ulit pr kimuh ka ng fobe exams nila- not unless commonwealth Doctor ka from UK.. my teacher was a Doctor in the Philippines..so naging teacher na muna sa College here in Alberta.. tapos nag shadow as volunteer sa clinic na pinapasuakan ko.. kase may 3 exams pa syang e pasa.. yung ibang doctors na kilala ko nag study nursing.. at may isa na 20 years in the making.. dapat sa mga Doctors sa aton high paying jobs yan eh.. para di na aalis..

[@johnmalvinangeles]

[@AuraAzarcon]

Niiiice haha

[@baboylove]

Medicine is not about the money. I enjoyed med school. It was fun, I met friends and bonded with them in a way I didn't with my other friends because we were all pushed to our limits. We love learning and even though duties were ridiculously hard, going through it with the best people made it fun. However, it's hard not to think about money. I lost both my parents to disease when I was in med school, and if I had a job, maybe it would've been easier on finances. When doctors rant about the relative lack of money, I hope you understand them, because it is ridiculously expensive to go to med school, and if we did know about the harsh realities of medical school before we entered it, it would take even greater passion (than what we had from the start) to pursue it. This video is very informative and full of true-to-life insights :)

[@kenPgago]

ang ganda ng timing ng upload na to, magsstart pa lang ako magaral tas nag sesecond thoughts pa ako na parang di ko alam kung calling ko ba talaga to. doc aura, nabuburnout na ako. hayyy.

[@marraagatepherno]

Iba ka Beverly!!!!!! ♡

[@dinniezmnl]

kahit di po ako hindi med ang tinake kung course always pdin akong nanunuod sa vlogs mo ate aura 😂❤️

[@blainevanity6]

Wala rin akong relatives na doctor kaya super clueless ako pagdating sa system 😣

[@AuraAzarcon]

hence this channel :)

[@charlesbannawagan24]

Doc Aura! Huhuhu because of you! i love watching Grey's Anatomy!

Schoolmate ko nung h.s si Bev and si RoseLyn 😊

[@kyrole6352]

Yeeeey! Another video! 😍😍😍😍 Ate/Doc Aura your video blogs made me really inspired! :) I've been always watching your videos (to gain some info's and knowledge also) Wanna be doctor din po sana ako someday. Super dami kopong misconceptions about medschool kesho super stressful etc. Pero dahil po sa mga video mo po it keeps me super inspired. Na being in medschool doesnt mean that you cannot be chill because of a lot of paper works and diagnosis. I am surprised cause tho your a doctor you can be chill through facing a lot of stress. 😅😅 Wuvyou ate aura!

[@tinaortiz2992]

Doc aura thank you for the videos! This makes me want to go back and pursue med. There was a time when I didn’t think about going because of financial reasons and my grades aren’t good enough. I’m taking my masters now while working.. I understand everything since I worked at a hospital for some time so I know what it’s like.. still the feeling you get when a patient is assured in your hands is something special.. soo I’m considering to study med after my ms in microbiology. My parents offered but I’ll take into consideration the age of when I’ll finish.. i’ll be a dependent again and all.

[@ydnar999]

Congrats DoktAura! :)
