We appreciate your effort

Thank you for the informative videos you create and share with us. Can you tell us about General Surgery residency in Sweden? Does it have long hours and many night shifts like in the US? Do you get to do surgeries and operate early on during residency or are you only given tasks managing the wards while the older fellows do the surgeries? I heard that in Germany residents do not get to operate until their last years of residency, even for smaller surgeries. Thank you so much for this channel!

Thank you for the video! Does looking through the microscope/doing microsurgery become tedious at some point when you're doing high volume or do you think it become easier to do?

Hi , it is a excellent video. Thanks for the effort. I am wondering if you can do a series of how is the different residency like in Sweden, maybe hosting someone to talk about their major. That will be great if you do it. And i am curious about ob&gyn in fact🤗🤗

[@noweyeknow7352]

Thank you and yes that’s the plan

[@besleydaniel3316]

Could you please mention the author of the book that you show in the video

Thanks for all your efforts , may I ask you about chances of international medical graduate who had their ophthalmology training, including surgery, is there any chance for us to get into swedish ophthalmology residency ?

[@noweyeknow7352]

Yes ofcourse but as we mentioned earlier it’s a long process

Hi Anis! I just have a quick question. Is there any noticeable difference between Ophthalmology residencies in different regions of Sweden.

[@noweyeknow7352]

Yes there is, but minor differences such as nightshift frequency and availability of certain surgeries

Congratulations on almost finishing your residency. The idea of this sea of knowledge in ophthalmology that you don't know, does that scare you? If you were to start your private practice. How much would that cost you initially? I'm guessing you're gonna do a fellowship in the eye surgery. I've seen ICL surgery and it looks insanely cool. Way too cool. I need to have one done on me but I don't know which clinic in Sweden is the best. Maybe I'll do it at your clinic! If an ophthalmology resident graduates and goes and works on something else, do you think he'd forget what he'd learnt or become less competent? Do med students/residents in Sweden have a summer break/vacation time? Thank you so much for this channel!

[@noweyeknow7352]

Great questions, short answered is that it varies in cost depending on what you sub specialize in. Price of medical equipment is quite expensive but most do lease it. Working on another projects is good sometimes when one is trying to grow and find their true calling. Competency is a merit of practice and knowledge so both need to be present. Yes all residents have at least 4 weeks off every year.

I don't like my cold and robot-like Ophthalmogist in small-town USA. I have pretty severe glaucoma and have had surgery, use 2 kinds of drops and lots of follow-up exams. I have questions about some puzzling, remaining issues, but he brushes me off. Then he's out the door. I guess I'm not using language that gets his attention, or something. I am left to research things on my own (odd visual symptoms post- surgery, etc.), which I don't mind, but it seems ridiculous.
