Thank you for sharing this! I love that you said it's a marathon, not a race. Current student pursuing my bachelors in nursing (25yo) I'll be done next year. I originally went into nursing to be an NP in fear of length/age/effort that medical school would take. The closer I get to graduating as a nurse the more my passion to attend medical school grows. This semester between 2 jobs and my rotations I'm at the hospital 50+ hrs/week plus a 10hr lecture Day. Your videos are exactly what I need to hear (especially about the nurse who took her MCAT's 5x's!) thank you!!

I will commence the process at once. In fact I stumbled across your video because of the quest to know if it is still achievable. You have a fan for life in me. Thank you so much for your selflessness. May God reward you richly for being an inspiration.

I am a current nursing student and I have toggled back and forth between completing pre-med courses, and preparing for the NCLEX as well as MCAT. I LOVE the field of nursing but my heart still yearns towards studying medicine and becoming a physician. I am a firm believer that positivity, perspective, and persistence will get you to any destination of your choosing. So thank you for sharing this!

I'm so happy for what you've shared! As I'm preparing myself for med school, I decided to search around for various opinions and how to cope - most videos I've seen are about either dropping out of Med school or why I shouldn't be a doctor or about suicides from doctors. And gosh these opinions do scare me a bit. But thank you so so much for this video - it's been the first positive thing I've gotten, and it's hugely encouraging to see, for one, that a doctor doesn't regret what he's doing. Thank you again! :)

Wow!!!! This was inspirational. I too was a combat medic in the Navy (Navy Corpsman). I got out in 2013 and I'm going to take the MCAT in January of 2018. Would you say that being a combat medic made your resume a little more competitive when applying to medical schools? I have three children and I was therfore torn between PA and Physician. I really felt like you were speaking to me in this video due to the fact that I'm from a rough part of Miami Florida and medicine has always been my ticket out of the ghetto. Great video and story altogether. Keep it up. I will subscribe because I can definitely relate to you more than any of these other ppl doing these types of videos.

Kwesi Williams anyone who would knowingly take on the challenges and expense of becoming a physician in this day and time is a moron. And, yes, I'm a physician. And I'm also a Navy veteran. So I damn well know what I'm talking about. Four years of medical school followed by 3 to 5 years of residency. Here is what is waiting for you on the other side of that: $200k in debt from all those loans and it's accruing interest. Your friends are lightyears ahead of you in their careers and have made tons of money while you've been putting your personal life on hold. Every person who can access Google (100% of your patients) thinks they know more than you do about medicine. Medicaid, Medicare, and private insurance will dictate how you practice medicine. Make no mistake about that. And you will find yourself limited to using only a small percentage of the knowledge and skills you spent years developing while sacrificing time, sleep and relationships. But, yes, as the doctor, you are 100% responsible and 100% liable when something goes wrong. And notice I said "when" not "if" because eventually someday somehow somewhere something will go wrong. Because none of us is perfect. Well, I could go on and on but I think I've made my point. My strong recommendation to you is to become a PA or a nurse practitioner. Or a pharmacist...they easily make six figures in today's job market. It is what I would do if I could go back in time.

Henry Bockmon I really respect your honesty. I think that most people(especially black men) want to become doctors because of the title and where people tend to place doctors in our society. I don't think people factor in the points in which you made. For example with the debt you just mentioned in order for one to pay it back and not really have to worry about that money is if you force yourself to get into a high paying specialty. The medical field like any other field is a business. I was told by my Vocational Rehabilitation counselor that they would pay for my schooling in it's entirety if I decided to go the PA route. That's kind of difficult to pass up. Coming out of school debt free. I just think that's phenomenal.
@henrybockmon9398
@henrybockmon9398 7 жыл бұрын
Kwesi Williams it's difficult to find a balance between pursuing the goals you are passionate about versus the need to be practical about life. Don't ever let anyone tell you that money is not important and that you should just follow your dream regardless. Dreams do not pay the light bill or the car note. The practice of medicine has changed dramatically since I graduated from medical school, and not for the better. On any given week, when I'm being called at 2:30 in the morning for another emergency or another admission, I will wish I had put my 20 years in the Navy and then gone to work for the post office instead of becoming a doctor. I might still be married and retirement would be a bright light on the not-too-distant horizon if I would have followed that more practical path. Please don't let me talk you out of becoming a physician if that is your life's goal. I just want you to be knowledgeable about the harsh reality you are getting yourself into so that you can make an informed decision. I look around and I see dentists who close their doors every Friday and work no weekends and no holidays while every day is a potential workday for you. December 25 is no different than July 25 in the world of medicine, and medicine doesn't distinguish between 3:00 in the afternoon and 3:00 in the morning when you'll be up working while your friends who are lawyers/accountants/pharmacists/plumbers/electricians/etc. are fast asleep. Did I mention that after being up most of the night you will still be expected to put in a full day? In the interest of full disclosure, I did want to mention that there are programs available that will pay your way through medical school. These generally involve going into a primary care field and agreeing to practice for a number of years in an underserved area. There is also the military option if you wanted to return to the Navy as a way to pay for school. Good luck to you.

Henry Bockmon Trust me I know about those days when you have to work when everyone else is enjoying their time off. As a Corpsman in the Navy I got to see the life of a medical provider first hand. I also understand that life isn't about living it because of what other people are doing with theirs. What I really don't like is how medicine is today. I feel as if Physicians represent the pharmaceutical company that sponsors them. Pharmaceutical companies seem to be dictating the way medicine is practiced. I think the only true medicine is field medicine i.e military humanitarian missions, doctors without boarders, military deployment to combat areas etc. My dream was to either work with the VA, State Department or some Corrections Facility. I'm 31 and I have 3 children so it's a little bit different for me. I've been thinking about the time and money that will be spent on medical school and I don't know if it's worth me missing graduations, birthdays etc. That's the reason why I left the military. I love medicine though. I don't think that there's anything else I'd rather do. I wouldn't mind practicing in an underprivileged community, in fact that's what I would want to do if I couldn't get a job with my first options. I will also look into those free programs, but I will definitely not be going back into the military. The program in the military is called USHUS. It's the military medical school. It's located in Bethesda Maryland. I worked their for two years. Thanks for the info.

Becoming a doctor is a long road, but it is worth it! To become a neurosurgeon here in Canada, it takes 6 years! If you calculate the time it will take, it is a total of 14 years (4 years undergraduate, 4 years medical school, and 6 years neurosurgery residency) if you don't do a fellowship. This is a long road but it really does take that long to become a neurosurgeon because that is a very difficult surgical specialty.

Dr. Webb, I was wondering if you have any experience with physicians who came from an artistic background. I've had a strong interest in medicine and healthcare for as long as I can remember, but I also have a pretty conflicting love for comedy. After graduating college early, I opted to not take the MCAT and instead pursue standup while working various auxiliary healthcare jobs during the day. I've been performing for about five years now and while that's had it's little successes here and there, the road to becoming a truly great comedian is a much much longer trudge through late nights and social rejection, and every day I find myself looking more and more at my old college texts and thinking about that MCAT and wanting more. My fear is getting back on the academic track and either a) underperforming because I'm distracted by my artistic side or b) losing a part of myself that I love in the pursuit of medicine. I've considered PA school, but in my gut I know I'd wish that I'd gone to medical school if I went that route. In typing this question, I realize that a lot of the questions I have can only be answered by myself but I was wondering if you can offer some advice or guidance to the conflicted soul. Thank you for your time and all your videos!

Gettng married before attending med school is #1 in success story. Do understand marriage can breakup even in circumstance best. No possible to marry a success film writer and unemplyed myself.

You could get a BSN and take prereqs for med school after/during if you decide to not continue nursing.

kirk brown Hi, Thanks for the question. I get this question a lot. It's kind of hard to answer this question completely without knowing your story (family life, previous life experiences, future goals, etc) but here are my thoughts: You will be in your career working as a physician for 20-30+ years and I know the road to get to that point is arduous and lengthy, but I do believe it's worth it. You have to ask yourself, "Am I willing to sacrifice family and personal time, sacrifice a minimum of 8-10 years of my life and sacrifice financially to become a doctor?" And if that answer is yes, I say go for it. The average age in my medical school class was roughly 30 years old (oldest being 42 and youngest 23) and I currently work with 2 orthopedic surgeons who are 80+ years old. They have been a doctor for longer than I have been born. 😃 So, starting off medical school at 40 years old, you will be done around 50 years old and still can work 20 years and retire at 70. Check out my video on KZbin that I posted on this same topic and subscribe to my channel to be the first to receive new videos that I post weekly! kzbin.info kzbin.info/www/bejne/r2TJaWVmprCphrM I hope this helps. Good luck! Remember if medicine is something you really want to do, then NEVER give up. Also, I just published a book about my path to medicine called "Overcoming the Odds" which I talk about my time growing up in the rough streets of Louisiana, my time as a military medic serving in Iraq, and applying to medical school then residency. I give a lot of advice after each chapter. You should definitely check it out before you start med school. It's at: www.amazon.com/author/antoniowebbmd A.
