Stress, Regrets and Inspirations - Q&A with Kharma Medic

[@KharmaMedic]

Thanks for answering these questions with me Ali! ⚡️ It's always interesting to hear more about your mindset and thought processes 🧠 If you want to hear more of Ali opening up about juicy topics you can watch part two over on my channel: kzbin.info/www/bejne/jGLPfHWOo6x8r5I ☺️ See you there! ✌🏻

I have a question for Ali because you have been so open on multiple occasions about starting youtube for personnel reasons but still enjoy the process of helping others that colleagues or even more importantly your teachers or those who will take your interview process for the USMLE may judge you differently because your intentions are public and your videos are so popular amongst the academic and medical community. To make it simple are you affraid/worried/pensive that those who are in a position to be a road block to you may say "This person does not want to really be a doctor, It is not there Vocation, they are an intelligent well studied youtuber whos more concerned about promoting and growing that business than they are with the healthcare industry". I dont mean that in a bad way but does it cross your mind that your youtube celebrity and honesty about your goals may turn off health care administrators who have a hand in your licensing/Academic progress?

Ali: "what does stress even mean?" Wow, I don't think I've ever heard anyone in my life ask this question..

[@MrBetnesol]

Watching lectures on 1,5 or even 2,0 speed has actually been benefitial for my studying and brought some level of productivity to my life. Your videos (from both of you) inspire me and somtimes i can even use some of your tips for myself - i kind of like that. Thats not the usual way on social media these days. Thank you Ali and Nasir for your work!

[@Incandescence555]

What does stress mean? (tried to answer this as a mini personal test, pausing just before you guys answered- grateful for your insight and all the work you do thanks so much- keep up the good work!) - Feeling of a lack of control over one’s psycho-physiological state - Overwhelmed emotionally, on the edge - ‘not being able to run fast enough on the hamster wheel’ - Feeling constrained or restrained internally or externally - Feeling of impending failure or possibility of letting yourself down or others - Trying to tackle a 'bottomless' to do list

[@cooldude823]

Fun fact : This video is shot around a month ago coz Nasir has an iPhone 12 pro now and in this video he is having his old iPhone 8..

[@akshitasingh2381]

STRESS is any feeling of discomfort when a situation in your day isn't going the way you would be most comfortable with. When you feel stressed on finishing so many incomplete tasks, in your head there's a version of the situation where you had been productive/confident/hardworking/blah blah enough to not have as many incomplete tasks as you do at that moment. That disconnect is stress. It can also work for things outside your control. When a loved one dies, you almost have zero control of the things that have put you in the situation. But there's a version in your head that wishes this never happened. I think most of this process is unconscious, but basically its the discomfort that's created when what you are experiencing is not what the idealistic version in your head wants. That's how I look at it xD

Stress is a physiological and psychological response to events that upset a personal balance in some way. When faced with the threat whether to personal safety or emotional equilibrium, the body’s defences kick into high gear in a rapid, automatic manner.

[@NabankitaRC]

[@Badgerbahalwan]

Microscopic polyangiitis is a systemic necrotizing vasculitis without immune globulin deposition (pauci-immune) that affects mainly small vessels. It may begin as a pulmonary-renal syndrome with rapidly progressing glomerulonephritis and alveolar hemorrhage, but the pattern of the disease depends on the organs affected. Diagnosis is made by clinical findings and sometimes confirmed by biopsy. Treatment, which depends on disease severity, includes corticosteroids and immunosuppressants.

[@jasonu3741]

Stress to me just means worrying in the moment that there is a task at hand you are not equipped to handle, worrying about the future that there will be tasks you will not be equipped to handle and Anxiety about the past being in situations you could not handle. To me thats what makes the difference between being excited and nervous about something new but not stressed about it. you can be excited or nervous about the first time you get in the Car with your Dad to learn how to drive, This may create some level of Anxiety but the feeling is uniquely different from taking your actual driving test... because you think your going to fail... because you think you will make a mistake... because you think your not ready.

[@narayani2997]

Dear Ali, please make some short positive videos for when you feel burned down/low during the process of step1 to match

[@ChristinaAaliyah]

the most productive Q&A I've ever watched

[@shehzadsyed3368]

Gents, i am a doc myself: my question is for ali, it maybe a bit long so kindly bear with, a famous quote by your namesake actually, prolly 1300 years that predate us goes something like this, paraphrasing ofcourse..the difference between knowledge and wealth is, as wealth increases you have to protect it, but as knowledge increases it protects you, as wealth is spent it decreases as knowledge is used (spent) it increases...i am aware as doctors we have a specific nuance level of knowledge in the form of the cliche art vs science paradigm, but the knowledge, that is being alluded to, should enlighten the heart with reason being the acceptor and god being the inspirer... without getting to preachy, but necessary, so for you ali... you are truly at a crossroad i feel... about purpose and actualisation... purely because i have benefited from your videos, not completely agreeing with the motives, but i would be keen to see how I can unravel some of your interests and goals. Purely as my nephews and brother who are inspired by you as non-medic (nephew [aspiring ?doc] to his non medic dad aka my brother) and my bro in law who is a resident in usa, after taking your current journey... maybe there is something i could learn from and am missing... and specifically, what i am missing in this dream of financial independence...being firm to my nhs routes.. and life experiences... i always feel obliged to figure out how i can really piece together whats going on in the future leaders in the medic sphere and their influence... and to challenge my own beliefs to keep getting to better and better truths in this reality...obviously this was triggered by a search for productivity vids whilst perusing on youtube esp. Whilst studying for gp exams... . likewise i maybe able to give some of my own pointers and insight, just for some healthy discussions...excuse the pun...but do link when you have some time conquering self actualisation.. shehzad (i am a keyboard stroke away)..
