I think it's still worth it to be a surgeon. Instead of seeing it as "ay haba naman 6 years" I see it as "6 years lang yan ng buhay ko haha" I think it's worth the investment since you'll continue to learn more.

[@DocRome]

This is so true, go lang ng go 😊

Hi doc thank you for uploading this on your youtube! I really want to become a surgeon here in the Philippines, its just I dont have enough background about the medical field especially when it comes to becoming a surgeon here. Thank you for giving me some free tips and information- coming from a professional doctor, I'm really grateful. It really helped me think twice and this vid motivated me more. Thank you very much, hoping for more vids to come and I hope to see you when I become a doctor soon 😁

[@sofiamillen5701]

Responding to a call to be a surgeon may take a lot but I believe it always will be worth it to be one. Aside from the duration, may other factors lang talaga why it’s a struggle. Came across your video today and it’s very timely since I’m rekindling my fire for pursuing Medsch and Sx. Thankful for your videos, Doc!

salamat!

i think so!

[@ByanAmante]

Hello Doc, I wanted to ask what is a consortium? Also, about the integrated plastics residency program, can you have the gen surg training from another hospital or does it need to be the same hospital where the 3 years for plastics training will ensue? Thank you so much Doc! 😊

Hello, doc! Too late na ba para mag comment sa video na to? Haha. Anyway. Doc I'm just confused. If GS takes about 5 years in general, but only 2 yrs if to specialize in Urology, does it mean I have to be decided of my subspecialty for GS before I enrol myself to it?

Hi can you do 2 residencies at the same time? Like you'll continue General Surgery even if you're also doing Nuerosurgery? Thanks.

[@vincetheworldly537]

Doc question po: since pag residency although youre training for your specialization pero diba parang work na din yan? Natanong ko po kasi as a second year medical student under a scholarship, I am obliged to do a 4 year return service. If I can manage to reduce my time of service I will definitely apply for scholarships and do masters sana or phd agad pag pwede na lumabas. If yung specialization na gusto ko is general surgery, tas say I only finished 2 years so far, can I pick up where I left off? Kasi nga magmamasters po ako. Or di po yun pwede? Na dapat tuloy tuloy? The reason for the rush din po kasi i am not sure if I am still eligible for scholarships once I hit my 40s. Eh Im 27 na po and by the time I graduate Ill be in my 30s. Original plan is to go masters muna after the license pero may return service din po kasi, which is for my case baka 4 years. Looking forward po for your advice on the matter. Thanks po doc!
