[@ioanarotariu136]

It s so touching seeing your excitement and your evolution as a doctor. Good luck in your career and never lose that passion

[@vibhusharma1407]

Man you have reached so far from med school to a doc. RESPECT SIR ❤

[@joanneshaw3071]

You are literally glowing when you spoke about being involved in the surgery. It’s amazing to see the actual parts of the body in person rather than a text book. I get your excitement. I’ve been an aged care nurse specialising in pal care & EOL care for 7 years. I’ve just moved into cardiac nursing and I’m so excited with this new role. I had a laugh when you said following the surgeons as they moved around at lightning speed. One of the cardiologists at the clinic I work in comes from the hospital. Patients wait up to 2 hours to see him. I see the patients before he does. He passes me at lightning speed. I just see a flash of blue go past me (the surgeon in his scrubs)

[@sadiaashraf3413]

Hey Nasir 3 years ago l found your video on how to study 8 hours a day . That has motivated me so much . This year I have got chance to study in a medical college in my country ( Bangladesh). Your tips have helped me a lot. So thank you and keep posting more effective videos

[@mjpt01]

I’m a Vascular Surgery resident, and I find it so funny that you got so excited about amputations. Even though I like doing them, it’s our “ugliest” kind of surgery 😅 By the way, the ruptured AAA you described was with a graft, they tried to do an aortobifemoral bypass. The stent one is endovascular, we call it EVAR. Even though the axillobifemoral is a cool procedure to see, it’s a last resource and has very poor long term patency. You should look up carotid endarterectomies, I think it’s our most beautiful kind of surgery! Glad to see someone talking about vascular surgery so enthusiastically! Hope to have you as a colleague some day! 😊

[@KharmaMedic]

Thank you for the message! Appreciate it :)

[@madhavichakravorty6748]

As a Year 1 medical student in Hong Kong, I have a long way to go before working as a doctor, but listening to your passion and experiences on the job is truly inspiring and touching, and gives me hope that I will be able to sustain that passion as I progress through my medical curriculum! Thank you so much!

[@omaralmitwally3475]

I'm loving these Rotation Reviews for each specialty please keep them coming 🙏 good luck on your next rotations

[@anchal2128]

It's awesome to see you so exited, you're making me excited to get into medical school, so one day i could experience this!!

[@aardverak5297]

thank you so much for sharing your excitement about surgery so openly and genuinely! makes me so interested and excited too! i can't wait to start medical school in september, good luck in future rotations :)

[@emibislimova8627]

I'm so happy to watch how excited you get when you are talking about surgeries! ;) I just love your describtion of different conditions - thank you for taking your time and doing that! I'm really looking forward begin medschool and you motivate me with every single video!❤

[@brittanykasten]

It amazes me how much you have accomplished to get where you are now. Very proud of you!!!!

[@hopsa16]

Please, do more content like this. I'm final year med student, who's thinking about going to surgery and this type of videos are very helpful and making me be even more sure about becoming surgeon. Thank you!

[@ActingOceanhornXullih]

Your Videos really are life Changing. They really brought me to were I am. Especially your "Study with me" videos. Please make sure, that these videos always stay and remain on KZbin, as these are the most important videos to ever exist on this platform. Thank you for being amazing

[@aliciasalmeron9943]

As a scrub nurse I feel the exact same way about surgery as you do even if it’s just retracting or cutting sutures. Being able to be apart of the team and seeing the anatomy up close is priceless I love it

[@dulce654]

I love this kind of vídeos!!! Keep this format for each of your rotations please! 🥺❤️

[@zohalarbabzada9654]

Such an excellent detailed experience of vascular surgery! Super impressed :) Glad you are enjoying your training so far :D

[@MA-dd9dd]

I got excited only by listening to your story! you deserve it man! keep going!

[@muhammednasir8937]

been waiting for this and was better than expected

[@zolisankabinde5613]

I hope you really understand the depth at which you inspire us. Everytime you pick up your camera to share your passion, you inspire us to the core! May you continue and never faint. You are doing so well!

[@KharmaMedic]

I appreciate that, thank you ❤️

[@tatianak47]

I’m always so excited to see a new post of yours!

[@itoshisae9323]

Nasir is gonna be a great surgeon 😍 good luck with your medical journey Doctor

[@pamelascott8991]

Hi Dr. K, just a couple of observations. I have been impressed by the empathy and compassion you have exhibited in general for your patients, particularly when dealing with end of life/death issues. I know you are incredibly excited about surgery in general, but I was struck by the sense of “disconnect” when you were talking about amputations. You didn’t address the huge effect they can have on the patient’s quality of life going forward, their need to mourn the loss of a limb, etc. While I know that the patient’s mental health is not the main focus of a surgeon, I firmly believe that being cognizant of how a surgery will affect them will make you an even better surgeon in the future. Sending best wishes for your future endeavors.

[@samuelkogan1748]

Ever since one of your first videos on Notability, I've watched your videos since I started my undergrad at UofT a few years ago. Now, I'm starting dental school this Fall! The production on your videos is amazing: keep up the great work!

[@KJT_izumi]

Happy 28th birthday, Nasir! It's been amazing to watch your growth over the past few years - keep it up

[@amoghnayak7867]

ive been watching your videos since the 10th grade. this channel is one of the many reasons why i became motivated to enter the field of medicine. ive cleared my country's med school entrance exam and im waiting for college to start. you continue to keep inspiring me even today and erase every little doubt i have about entering this field.

[@jjmedicostudymotivation2400]

I wish you all the very best❤😊🎉

[@obafemipelumi1852]

I've grown a lot too and watch you grow since the time you were a 2nd year medical student... I'm proud of you Man.

[@MrCheeseify1]

Make sure you record down in detail every operation and procedure you take part in and what exactly your role was! Very important for the future if you do decide to go into surgical training

[@shivangimishra4640]

Seeing you it feels always productive 🤩

Hey Nasir, i’m from Brazil and I followed your channel since 2019 in my high school. I just wanna say that your videos change my life, I was, except in a private medical school in my country, but I will continue to pursuing a public university, because here they are better. Thank you very much for changing my life and my studies I hope to comment in the next year “I was accept in my dream university”.

A day late if it was a Thursday schedule but I like this new ‘feast’ format videos where it’s a long video instead of bite sized content. P.S. So happy to see you again! Warmest regards to all your loved ones.

[@khyathialla4348]

You were and are one of my biggest motivators. I have been watching your study with me videos and vlogs since high school and witnessing your journey from med student to doctor is really inspiring to me. I’m glad to say I finally cleared my entrance exam in India and going to go to med school in a few months. And I’m really looking forward to watching all your med school ( usmle) and now hospital related videos.❤ Much love to you man you rock!

You’re such an amazing doctor … please don’t ever quit to be a full time KZbinr. It’s such a joy to watch you all glow up talking about the medical stuff (that to me as a non medic sounds gross 🤣)!

[@saenz216]

I am starting med school next year, I decided I wanted to study medicine watching your videos 3 years ago, for that, I can’t thank you enough, I was just going to study engineering although I didn’t know even what it consisted of and I was unhappy, one summer I started watching your videos and I discovered my passion for medicine, from that moment on, I have loved medicine and everything around it, and next year I am starting my dream. THANK YOU because this would be impossible without you

[@Heather-jp5yu]

How do u maintain consistency, it's hard to get into med school I'll give my exam next year n I love studying but I just fall off the grid even though ik I need to sell my soul n study for this 1 yr atleast I love being productive n hate it when I get distracted but somehow I can't always remember my path I don't have many distractions but sometimes I just fall

Hello Nasser, I hope you answer my question. I am in a country that does not allow studying medicine unless your success rate from school is 100%. If I come to London or another country, will I study medicine at a lower rate, for example, 80%, or 100%?

I agree all that admin could be addressed better. I work Nhs the management don’t understand still that investing in admin there is more availability of medical staff.
