Why I DIDN'T... Cardiothoracic Surgery

[@kevinjubbalmd]

Are you considering cardiothoracic surgery as a specialty?🥼🫀 Share your thoughts, curiosities, and aspirations in the comments below!

[@fabiann.martinez1223]

Definitely considering it, I still have a lot of time to think about it and see for myself if I could manage that lifestyle but this video was really interesting and eye opening in many ways. I had not consider Interventional Cardiology, but it is truly a good option now in my mind. Truly thanks!

[@dn8276]

Omg, absolute bullshit from this "plastic surgeon". It's really funny. No experience, very limited knowlegde, but guy with the lifestyle and opinion 🤦‍♂️

[@nasarkhan052]

I'm considering it. I just don't know I've a deep curiosity in CTS. I believe this specialty has more room for development and advancement. At the end of the day, I've convinced myself that nothing should be more interesting than operating on a sick heart and lungs. May Allah devote me and grant me deligence for the mankind help and support. Amen

[@drjmhangwa]

I think it’s a great and beautiful specialty l wanna major into that l love it Dr ❤️❤️

[@wholeNwon]

@@dn8276 Well, I am an expert and his descriptions are largely accurate.

[@caseydeneen2841]

I was really enjoying a rotation in thoracic surgery so I asked my attending to level with me about how much it sucks to train as a thoracic surgeon. He took a deep breath and sighed and said, "I'm not going to lie to you, the first 20 years suck." I told him thank you so much and I stopped thinking about thoracic surgery.

[@asjmssjcab]

I also don’t like the idea of having to maintain the metrics in CABG patients like the transplant field. I’ve seen the “gotta get them to 31 days” mentality even if that means trach/PEG without quality of life which I’m not a fan of.

[@countryboymotovlogs926]

Hello Doc, i had three bypasses in 22, my surgeon had the personality of a brick! I’ve had multiple surgeries but nothing to this serious. Due to not knowing what to expect, I developed PTSD. You can ask any patient and bed side manner, and a caring attitude gos along way when going through this terrifying surgery. Do y’all have bedside manner training in med school? I would really like a video on a doctor patient relationship, where the patient knows he or she at the time of surgery has no dougt they are the most important person in the or! Thank you, and i hope you have a wonderful career. Thanks again Tom.

[@SushobhanAdhikari]

Yes, we do have bedside manner teaching as well as communication skills teaching during medical school. We are examined on these aspects as well during our clinical examinations where higher marks are awarded to students who not only consider the patient's diseases but also consider the "social" aspects of a patient's life. An example: the importance of asking about the patient's line of work + exercise/activity they like to do before they go for a major cardiac surgery like you did. Someone with a office job wouldn't have problems going back to work but someone who does manual labour will. Lastly, have to say that although we are taught to think about these things, I don't believe good manners and compassion can be taught. As you become more senior many years after medical school, these teachings can be forgotten.

[@crystalmcleod2651]

Hey- Great video. As someone who was a nurse in cardiac surgery and is now in medical school (want to do Cardiac surgery long term), I do think the opioid crisis and rise in obesity will continue to fuel the field of cardiac surgery. These health trends are troubling but create a greater need for Valve replacement and CABG services in my opinion/ what I have seen clinically. Thanks for sharing! ❤

[@solslastcannula5665]

You might need to worry about the obesity side of things love

[@fame-official]

Finally! Been waiting for this video. The thing that got to me the most was the quality of life because as an aspiring Cardiothoracic Surgeon, I always thought about how their life would be. It seems very stressful. Also, I prefer the independent pathway because, at the end of it, I will be a Board Certified General and Cardiothoracic Surgeon, right? Please, correct me if I'm wrong. Thanks for the video.

[@kevinjubbalmd]

Yes on the possibility of being dual certified

[@RuskieBlues]

Great video! As always - I enjoy hearing your perspective. I look forward to more of these episodes!

[@acd1168]

Oohh I’ve been looking forward to this one since I am interested in thoracic surgery. I started out more interested in heart surgery but after shadowing, I didn’t like it as much. I always enjoy hearing your opinions. Thank you for these videos.

[@maryammasoud3159]

May you please do a video about speciality security? In every specialty ???

[@sudharshanwp9348]

This arguement regarding the need of CT surgeons in the era of interventional cardiology, is so dumb. All the guidelines, including AHA and ESC recommend surgery as Class I recommendations for so many procedures, especially valve surgery. The minimally invasive part is restricted to Angioplasty but when it comes to valve replacement/implantation, the guidelines are so restrictive in patient categorization towards them. So only a small, select subset of patients who wouldnt withstand the morbidity of surgery even are recommended to get minimally invasive procedures. CT surgeons have been, are and forever will be needed and the branch will never not need demand - A future Interventional Cardiogist

[@acjohn6995]

There's an AMA by a CT surgeon who says that the demand is as strong as ever.

[@kevinkanaka7456]

Thank you for the video doc! It is really helpful for a final year med student like me. Maybe you could make video about underrated IM subs like nephro or pulmo

[@kevinjubbalmd]

Great suggestion!

Can you do a video on cardiac electrophysiology and how they are compared to their counterparts in interventional

LOL I have just today sneaked into OR for SAVR in my local hospital (I was curious how they do it in small city hospital than in huge faculty hospital when I saw it last time). But I dont want do do surgery, I am gravitating towards peds cardiology/neonatology... :)

your opinion would have more weight if you actually finished residency.

what difference would that have made? The reasons he did not choose these specialties when he had to apply for residencies would be the same regardless of whether or he finished his plastic surgery residency.

@@claus1225 that does not change his reasons for not choosing the specialty which is what the video is about (fyi you’re a doctor when you finished medical School so technically he is a doctor, why do you Think he writes M.D in his Channel name?)

[@arthurcheffer]

He is an M.D. and the whole point of the video is to talk about why he DIDN'T go to Cardiothoracic Surgery. I get your point of view, but I believe the problem is "Doctors" (who didn't even go to Med School/have a doctorate, not on medicine/pretend to be a doctor) that are profiting from it. Kevin went to Med School and got his M.D., and choose not to finish his residency. There's a whole video he made about his decision
