Why Doctors Quit Medicine

[@RachelSouthard]

Thanks for making this video, Andy. I can't speak for those who quit and their reasons, but I feel like everyone in medicine has considered the thought of quitting at some point. And I feel like majority of us are in the "i can't do this anymore." And the "this" meaning the insane hours, lack of sleep, time for self care, mental health strain, toxic hierarchies, traumatic events, etc. Nothing can prepare you for this type of training. And people who have had lifelong dreams of becoming doctors even struggle with this inhumane style of training. I feel like so many of us WANT to STAY for a) our patients b) our continued passion for this field regardless of the hell we are enduring and c) to IMPROVE this training because it really doesn't HAVE to be like this. Many also stay simply because of the insane amount of debt from medical school, and there's no other way to pay it back unless you finish. We can find solutions for these things, to TRULY make it "BETTER." So instead of saying "residency gets better," we can just simply say "No, it's BETTER now." I love medicine, I love OB/GYN, I love my patients, and i LOVE the drive i have to try and improve this training for future residents. It needs to be a type of training where people aren't contemplating taking their own life because of it, or just straight up quitting. Like i said, I can't speak for those who quit and their reasons, but I can't say that I didn't want to quit. Thank you again for this video.

[@NDMD]

thank you for your honesty. it's this kind of disclosure and not sugar coating or quickly invalidating these very real feelings that will help us all figure out the best ways to move forward. but also i just hope this helps those not in medicine to understand what their loved ones may be going through when they can't describe what they're feeling

[@MichelleLibamba]

​@@NDMDso would you recommend medicine to someone else?

[@mytube785]

Totally agree with you here, Rachel. People who claimed residents quit because they had other gigs are either ill informed or intentionally distort the reality. They should find out what resident burnout rate, dropout rate, divorce rate and suicide rate for the US residents. All these high rates for residents and other physicians are a lot higher than those of their same-age peer groups in other professions. Just as you listed the causes that you experienced, all these are due to the poor mental, physical and spiritual wellbeing that are imposed upon residents by the system. AMA recognizes these root causes and deems 80% physician burnout are due to system problems and 20% due to personal habits. It has the “Joy in Medicine” program as a national movement to mobilize the US healthcare organizations to combat physician burning and quitting problems. Residents have the most demanding and horrific working schedule, the poorest pay, the lowest positions (as doctors), and most have insane amount of debt. The label of “trainee” on residents is such a stigma that even enables some to bully residents. Anyone under such treatment would think quit at some point, just like you do. On social media, there are still so much ignorance on this issue, including some purportedly knowledgeable “medfluencers”. I love the three reasons that you give why you stay in medicine, and totally agree with you that changes are needed - overdue really, to ensure the new generation of residents and other physicians to have BETTER treatment and not suffer widespread burnouts. Shaun Andersen, MD, also has the same idea. His motto is “fight a good fight, for the new generation of doctors”. It’d be great to see a social media based movement to advocate for this cause, to unite all residents who experience burnout and think of quit (50% of all US residents) to fight and changes to the system. In this cause, AMA and ACGME can be allies - can be powerful allies and advocates, to the residents. This will resonate with the US resident community. Look forward to seeing the changes for BETTER happen.

[@mytube785]

@@NDMD I think your position trying to educate people not in medicine is misplaced. The urgent issue got be to combat resident burnout. You have the platform to advocate for them. Hope you’d do it.

[@mytube785]

@@NDMD One thing that is really sickening is that so many medfluencers use something like “I QUIT” etc. in the titles of their videos such as this one, making it like a trend. But in fact, the physician burnout and dropout have been like this for decades now, AMA has a “Joy in Medicine” program to address it. These medfluencers have no ideas or intentions to help residents and other physicians. These medfluencers really should really be shamed of themselves.

[@NhanNguyen-wb7fc]

Hello, Andy! I’m currently a final-year med student, soon to enter residency next year. Lately, I've felt quite terrified seeing some of my favorite people on KZbin leave medicine. Although I don’t know them personally, and it's not my place to judge, their decisions have me scared about what's ahead. The long working hours, the potential misalignment with personal goals, the risk of burnout, and especially the fear of losing passion for medicine-all these uncertainties weigh heavily on my mind. But today, I watched your video, and to be honest, it reassured me. You brought valuable insight into the field, and it’s comforting to see your honest perspective. Your other videos have given me a small (well, maybe just a tiny 😀) glimpse of what residency might look like for me. Thank you for sharing your journey and for being open about the highs and lows. I know you're going through the challenges of training yourself, but please know that you have all of us here on KZbin rooting for you every step of the way. Your loyal viewer, Alex

[@vistastructions]

The majority of those who quit medicine usually have a side hustle that they've been building for many years and came to a point where the side hustle was more lucrative

[@TSultan26]

Exactly. Residency is tough, no one is questioning that. But when you have an insane amount of debt, that becomes the a HEAVY motivator for making it to the other side. Unless you have a successful side hustle or some other way to pay it off, quitting, in my humble opinion, is not possible!

[@harrisonzhu3300]

That’s exactly what it is it’s not a magic formula

[@mytube785]

This is not true. Did you know what resident burnout rate, dropout rate, divorce rate and suicide rate? The main reason of all these is the poor wellbeing that imposed upon residents by the system.

[@harrisonzhu3300]

[@mytube785]

@@harrisonzhu3300 different specialties have different rates. Surgical and OB/GYN specialties have the highest. Dermatology has the lowest.

[@CarolFague]

This video is spot on Andy! I’m a former ER PA who quit under the I don’t/can’t do this anymore category as an act of self preservation, I was severely depressed and couldn’t go on. Now, I have a new career I absolutely love and have never looked back! Thank you for making this video! Bravo!

[@alexanderking4224]

One of the best perspectives I’ve heard on the topic! As I go through medical school, I’m constantly reminded that my time in school will be shorter than my time in practice. However, like you said in the beginning of the video, our minds are driven by the mentality of “if I work harder then…” The way I see this panning out is when we do become physicians and the tests are over, we will make our patients our “tests”… something we can work hard to be successful at or fail at. Being of the mindset that failure isn’t an option, if we walk into a situation we see as already failed, we will dissociate ourselves from that patient, because we’re scared our name will be associated with a perceived failure. It’s taken me a long time to not find my worth in academics and it’s something I continually have to work on. I hope that we can all find meaning in our work that’s outside of a success and failure. Just as you said, giving it our all is usually what others need and nothing else.

[@BSMDLyd]

This is so well done, Andy. It’s clear that you put a lot of time and thought into this video, and as someone who recently gave up my seat in a BSMD program and is trying to decide whether or not to go back to medicine, this video does a beautiful job of putting what most of us are feeling but can’t put into words. This is such an important video to have on a platform that is oversaturated with stories of people quitting for reasons personal to them, but that don’t dive into the objective analysis and reasoning like this video does. Thank you for creating something so impactful and meaningful!

[@NDMD]

thank you Lydia 🫶 you're gonna do great no matter what you set your mind to in this next chapter

[@LJStability]

The longer I practice in residency, the more I find that the stories I share with every patient gives me an energy, purpose, and perspective that makes the hours less important than being there with them in their time of need. What I have learned though is that these same patients end up being there when I need to be taught the lesson I needed to grow to be a better doctor. Sometimes, it's the colleague you least expect. Sometimes, it's the patient you least expect. Maybe it's my own journey, but I've started to see every experience, whether good or bad, as something that helps me overall become a better person and human being. It doesn't downplay the problems in medicine, but it gives me control over what I do with everything I experience. And that, for some reason, has given me courage and strength I didn't know I had when facing some truly difficult situations.

[@YonexCC]

Great video. There is a lot of support regarding "med fluences" posting videos about quitting. While I am supportive of that, I still can't get this out of my head, "why don't you just tough it out?" I personally can't answer that as I am not a med student or MD. I would love to hear insight from the OLDER doctors, their thoughts on these young medfluences quitting, and how they survived residency and early medicine. There are way too many young doctors posting and quitting medicine which can really impact the future of other prospective students and other early docs, but there are NO videos on the older doctor crowd and their thoughts and opinions. One video I saw from an older doctor (I think he was like 5-10 years of experience) and he was surprised and he mentioned something along the lines that being a doctor is not about glory, not about money and that it's about your sacrifices to better help your patients and community.

[@Lexi_weinbaum]

This is such an interesting video, thank you for making it! It’s so devastating to hear that people really get burned out in medicine. I know just from briefly being friends with you guys just how much effort you put in. I’m really happy to hear that through everything you still feel a similar passion, but I’m equally as inspired by how empathetic you are towards those who need to move on and that you really want to demonstrate why. You’re changing the game for everyone watching, per usual who might not be as comfortable addressing these things. So proud & sending you lots of support. ❤

[@NDMD]

thank you Lexi 🫶 i just hope to illustrate understanding of both sides in ways that haven't exactly been done well or tastefully yet on the platform imo

[@mytube785]

@@Lexi_weinbaum it’s not the problem that quitter medfluencers quit; it’s the intrinsic and deep rooted problem in the medical education system (manifested by residency programs). It is they who imposed long hours, low pays, poor treatments on residents and fellows. If there is no change to the medical education system, more burnouts, depressed, divorces, dropouts (or quits), and suicides from residents and other physicians. All these rates are much higher for the resident group than those of their same age peer groups in other professions, they have been like these for years - decades. It’s time for a revolution to American medical education system, for the current and future residents !!

[@imasuperkoala]

I am an internal medicine resident (IMG) - the only reason why I did not quit is because medicine will give me the chance to stay in the US and become a citizen. Otherwise, I wouldn't be going to work tomorrow lol

[@presleypham1088]

Hi Andy, You've been one of my go-to creators in medicine for a while and I think I fully understand why now. I'm not even "in" medicine yet, as I'll be applying next cycle. Just as I am thinking about my personal statement and how I want to present myself to admissions committees, you literally take the words out of my mouth. In terms of the two "schools of thought" in medicine, it took a lot of experience during undergrad to realize that medicine is both a science and an art. And that to me, the art of medicine is what makes it more beautiful and more worth it. There are so many other fields where you can spend so much time memorizing facts and equations, but medicine is one of the few where you can bridge that knowledge and skill with what makes us human. Again, I'm not even in medical school yet, but I urge anyone else who is interested in medicine to seek out meaningful experiences that really nail it in the coffin for you. I think it's often that people simply declare themselves premed as soon as they enter college, but don't have those specific moments that help them remember what they're doing it for. I think that admissions committees have been moving toward a direction in which they filter out people who don't have that deep desire to pursue medicine, but of course, some people still make it through by nature of strong academics and/or impressive items on their CV. I think people are doing themselves a favor when they try to approach medicine with open-mindedness and healthy skepticism. It's easy to tunnel vision on this longtime goal and lose your sense of self in the process. There's a reason why there's the cliche, "It's not about the destination, it's about the journey."

We absolutely have to restructure this process. The residency aspect alone is not only predatory and counterproductive, its downright dangerous for the residents and their patients. Theres value in the old ways, and the new, but medicine, despite the scientific advances, is stuck in the past, and the gatekeepers will not allow it to progress. Theres so much fairlytale, its sickening. Residencies whoo us, "we care about our residents" .. "we are a family" ..nope. Its not, and you dont. Its a ruthless relationship that benefits from the destruction of many years of our lives. So theres no shock that massive amounts if young residents and doctors who have, YT in particular, as a side hustle, are leaving. Your review is a good one, and hopefully there can be change because this is no good.

[@mytube785]

@@josphellihsilak4588 My real question is what ACGME, AAMC and AMA are doing? Do their leaderships recognize that there are much higher burnout rate, depression rate, divorce rate, dropout rate and suicide rate for the resident group than their same age peer groups in other professions? What do they think that the treatment of residents with the long hour, low pay, poor working condition and fulfillment? Is this system level problem? Why aren’t the AMA, AAMC and ACGME standing up for residents and fellows and fighting for them? It will probably take a new form of social protest to wake them up. Social media is powerful. And all these big shot medfluencers all vocally expressed their dissatisfaction about the poor treatment of residents. If there is ONE on social media to lead 20 top level medfluencers and bring the issues to AMA, AAMC and ACGME, I bet their leaderships will take notice and take some actions. The key question is WHO can and will take such a lead …… It’s time to quit talking about “quit”, but fight, fight a good fight for a good cause, fight for the next generation of doctors !!

If those who quit medicine didn't have lucrative side hustles already they probably wouldn't leave

Agree, I think they are leaving cause they have KZbin, medicine takes up all their time and they still try to do KZbin, if they dropped KZbin they would have some extra time for friends and family/hobbies.

You can always graduate and do residency and come back to KZbin, I’m sure it’s not going anywhere

Simple answer. Medicine is one of the few jobs that romanticize long hours, lack of work-life balance, and sacrifice (sleep, relationships, hobbies, etc). Physicians are now seen as producers for profit, and work slaves. Patients are not a priority, as much as profit = failed system. You're exploited from the time you enter undergrad, with taking pointless filler classes, 7 hour exam that often time requires materials, exam cost, med school applications, sleep deprivation, free labor on rotations, residency apps, minimum wage salary, pointless "publications", all to be abused as an attending. go figure

It’s pretty easy to see why. Medical students have 4 years of med school on top of a 3-5 year residency.

To those with an issue with the thumbnail...get a grip. A quick read of the title will tell you what the video is about. As an informed viewer you should be reading that before clicking anyway. I've noticed a lot of medfluencers making these videos. I work in healthcare as a technician on the floor. I have experienced administration abusing doctors and healthcare workers and patients abusing doctors. I am a non-traditional student on my path to medical school a little bit later in life and intend to practice medicine at some point outside the US in countries where insurance isn't an issue and providing care is what you do 24/7. The focus is completely on the patient. Patients are grateful and thrilled to be getting basic medical needs met. Those who host you couldn't be more grateful. I'm hoping by doing this it will help practicing medicine in the USA a little more bearable. I hope to make an impact close to home by working in a critical access hospital like I do now but the system makes it hard to do so. Thank you for the video. I wish I could say the abuse stops after residency but that couldn't be further from the truth. The pay certainly gets better but you still experience similar frustrations. Something needs to change.

[@mytube785]

I think the contents of this video aren’t addressing the root causes of the problems why residents quit clinical practice. It put too much weights on the residents who quit. It also did not have any solutions to correct these problems and change the system. Just remember that those residents who quit had a dream to become practicing physicians. It is the environment, the system, that imposed so much burden and caused so much trauma on them. Then, the ones who can afford to leave quit; the ones who can’t afford leave stay. Just like a marriage. How terrible and antiquated is this? Would you let go of your dream if the environment is favorable to you realizing your dream?

[@NancyHoward-p6e]

I spent 50 years in the medical industry (management, not clinical) and believe the trend to leave (both for medical professionals and the rest of the employees) is increasing. Partly due to industry changes that have made it increasingly difficult to practice and make a living. The demands are incredibly high and returns disappearing. Most sole practitioners are selling to the hospitals bc doctors want to practice medicine and not devote so much of their time to running their business. It has become much more complicated and expensive to run a medical practice. Only the hospitals can afford the advanced computer software and other expenses it takes to run a successful practice. The doctors who work for others (including hmos) are quitting, in part, bc of the expectations. There are requirements regarding how many patients they must see in the day, how much time they can spend with each patient, the charting is tedious and time-consuming and they have to fight with insurance companies for authorizition, payment and appeal denials. All of this takes bureaucratic time away from the actual practice of medicine that they truly want to devote their time to-so very sad. Doctors who focus on research have their own challenges with bureaucracy. The health industry continues to evolve. Our country needs to remain a leader in innovation and advances in medicine. I hope for the best.

[@richiemd777]

What if "Hope" is not enough at some point? What if your friend who felt like he's making people "rich" eventually comes to a realization that he's making insurance companies rich. And if a patient doesn't have an insurance, they may not proceed with say his lobectomy for his lung cancer? Will that enough be enough to make "hope" not enough? Great content by the way. Always a pleasure to watch your upload.

[@AdaezeNjoku-rx3dl]

Well, I think the answer is clear here. If we are being completely honest, a doctor may be making insurance companies more rich, but the ultimate goal of their practice is to care for a patient and increase their quality of life or to extend their life and then of course earn a pay check for the doctor. Making insurance companies rich is just a byproduct. It is not the goal. But in the case of somebody who is working in finance or in business, you’re only benefiting your boss and then sometimes yourself by earning a paycheck, there is no other results. It is just to make somebody else rich. in medicine aim is to improve somebody’s life and the byproduct is making insurance companies richer. This is not to put down people working in other fields. This I feel I’ve chosen to work in healthcare. Insurance is hard to navigate and makes it hard to give sufficient medical care but doctors have the ability to try their best and navigate through it for their patients.

[@richiemd777]

@AdaezeNjoku-rx3dl I get your point, but assuming people in finance don't "change lives" or make direct impact is a bit of an oversimplification. You do know the reason people can actually have retirement benefits is because of them, right? I don't know where you're getting at by that subtle dismissive remark. But I'd like to think you don't mean it the way I'm thinking it. But medicine is far from what his friend is perceiving it to be unless he's going to own his practice and do some type of cash payment for uninsured population and not deal with insurance companies, he's gonna feel the exact same way at some point. Unless he can overlook the nuisance that comes with Medicine.

Andy, You have explained well the dilemma. But no one forced you to choose medicine. I am nearing year 42 of medicine and my fondest and most heartbreaking memories are from experiences at work caring for children and families. I also have a side hustle but never thought to give up medicine. It is a tremendous privilege . I hope after retiring to expand research into alternative health areas combined with sound science. Remember, no one promised you a rose garden. People should be proud to have accomplished so much, and look forward to accomplishing more for humanity.
