Hey Sean, some of your subscribers commented on my video saying you sent them. Just wanted to say thank you and that I really like what you have been doing with your videos. Keep up the great work! - Your new fan, Dr. High Yield

[@SeanDarmal]

Ohhh snap. Hey thanks for the kind words man. Thanks for having my back through my clinical rotations. Yeah man you dropped your video while I was editing this video… and I was like ‘damn, forget my video, just watch this” 😂.

[@DoctorHighYieldMD]

@@SeanDarmal 🤣🤣 youre videos are awesome man, glad I could help you out! All the best

[@theinferno18]

Nice video! In my 7th year of practice out of SGU. You'll be surprised at how much of what you said will go by the wayside once you're in the "real world". All the "pimp" questions will be useless because a method of treating patients will just be hammered in your head. There's also a giant component to being an attending that surprises most people, and it has little to do with medicine medicine. We all just have to live it to know. Oh, and spoiler alert - 11 years after my MD, and EKGs can still be challenging to this day. And YES to the check boxes, made me a much much better resident by year 2! Keep up the great content, you'll do well.

I watch other residents videos but you are the most honest one! Thank you for sharing! I appreciate it

[@linhaton4957]

As a floor secretary, I can say that first year residents order lots of blood tests. They don’t want to miss anything. It’s kinda funny at times as they try to figure things out. You have such a good attitude. Be kind and respectful to everyone.

Bro...the "i remember reading about that..." SO TRUE Feel like I say that too much - doubt creeps in the more you say it haha!
