[@chaisepomme4070]

I just found your channel. It seems google/KZbin is recommending or pulling up a lot of youtube videos made by doctors these days due to the pandemic. I live in Canada and although I haven't used our universal medicare system all that much in my lifetime for myself, in general we Canadians are quite proud and grateful that a stay in the hospital won't bankrupt us. I'm still surprised how a modern Western country like our neighbors to the south still grapples with a privatized system like the one you have. I can't imagine fighting with an insurance company to get them to allow me a certain procedure I need or to pay for a procedure which I got but then have to fill out dozens of forms, etc. Our system is far from perfect --- but after having my elderly father who has dementia go to the hospital several times within the last two years, I find it absolutely astounding when I think of how my family would have coped financially if we were living in your country and perhaps covered by a profit-loving private insurance company or even perhaps NOT covered at all. Our system here could still use a lot of improvement --- pharmaceuticals, eyecare, hearing aids and other health-related services aren't covered at all for most of the population who don't have employer provided private insurance. Nevertheless, if we Canadians want a better healthcare system we don't have to start from scratch. As for medical school student debt and student debt in general the vast majority of our universities are publicly subsidized. Students who want to go to university I think can still attend if they have to grades and the will. Tuition and books are still cost but it can be done with student loans which in total won't come to several hundred thousands. Thank you for making an honest, frank video. All the best to you in your career as a medical doctor.

[@kylesexton3033]

Physical Therapy, from a Nursing point of view, is sometimes beneficial to the patient. Some PTs are really good, and others are glorified personal trainers. Also depends on the patient, and making sure that they understand that PT isn't indefinite, and used to help them gain back funcitonal strength to perform activities of daily living, and to continue doing those exercises to maintain health.

[@kylesexton3033]

Same with nurses, it's up to you each day what you put in, and what your patients get out of you. Also depends who your coworkers are, and what type of environment you are in, and one that is most conducive to the patients outcome, or healing, curing, or teaching the patient to maintain and manage their health while contending with a chronic disease. Though some patients are non compliant, most of my patients have been thankful to have a nurse, and are good patients.

Post surgical we are ABSOLUTELY needed for shoulder replacements, knees, hips, tendon repairs, Low back pain w/ sciatica ETC.

Mortgage loans are lower risk than student loans. A mortgage loan you've already been working at your job for years before they give you the loan AND you start paying back immediately. loans for school aren't paid back until you've graduated (you stated you're deferring payment until you finish residency which makes total sense), and include risk of people dropping out or failing boards, without a secure paying job. I was listening to Dave Ramsay and a guy called in with like 400k worth of debt and failed his boards multiple times and after 3 years got dismissed from his school. Tons of debt without becoming a doctor. I think one of the main things we need to Change about med school is streamlining the process. For undergrad it's 4 years, but it should be cut down to only the main core classes, get rid of general education.

[@TechEngineerSchool]

The reason why doctors are put under so much scrutiny is because when a doctor makes a mistake, is the difference between life and death. Is the difference between leaving a surgical equipment inside somebody's body which will cause more harm and curing the person with the surgical procedure. Is the difference between cutting open the right side of the head to drain fluid from somebody's brain in an emergency situation and cutting open the wrong side of the head. And by the time you realize you cut open the wrong side of the head, the person is already dead from the brain fluid pressure. Doctors are put under so much scrutiny because when a doctor makes a mistake, it is very costly and could cause someone their life. Not all doctors are good doctors, so doctor scrutiny is a good thing for the doctor to keep them in check and a good thing for the patient to know they can trust their doctors.

[@guillermomelendrez6275]

Well to start off you don’t need a degree for some jobs in agriculture like being an irrigator. An irrigator spends days in the fields without going home. They easily clock in 100+ hours/week. If you want a more professional job than you can get a bachelors in agriculture and depending on what field you go of agriculture your hours will depend but 80 hours a week is the minimum you ll work plus you enter super early every day. Also when the season of the crop is going on, most of the holidays wont be taken off and you ll work a full day.

[@Shogun973]

DPTs and PTAs are not the same thing some differences are that you guys get reimbursed less per treatment now, cannot perform initial evaluations, cannot change plan of care, and in some places cannot perform jt mobilizations etc. However I will admit in the actual clinic PTAs do lots of what DPTs do especially if you worked at that same place for a long time.

@@mickfunny4185 You are missing the point. No profession is superior to another. People study and practice what they like. I hope you are not insinuating that a doctor has more value than an entrepreneur.

I have a double Masters and I have over $200,000 in student loan, ...and looking to get my JD or PHD😖😩😫😣 and still dont make alot of money on my job because it's a job helping people.

@@princess287love you are 100 percent right , I am leaning toward the PHD route in Law Enforcement. I seem to be having issues landing jobs conducive to mu educatal background and I feel it is because I am hispanic.

@@BassFishingMN I'm tired of listening to other people complaining. That's what people do - and that's why they present to me and other doctors. It's taken me a while but I've come to realize that medicine isn't making me happy. It certainly pays well - but one doesn't derive happiness from financial gain.
