Why I Might Quit Being a Doctor (1 Month into the Job)

[@bashirauwal5825]

Since I have learned how to save, invest, and put my money to work to increase my income, I am not worried of losing my job as an RN (registered nurse) or leaving my employment. I want freedom to live my life as I see fit, not just financial gain.

[@bashirauwal5825]

Yeah I make 3k as extra income from my investing trying so hard to build more side hustle and extra income

[@bashirauwal5825]

There's a lot of investing options real estate, crypto ETFs but my best advice get a professional lead you into profitable one and make good financial decisions

[@albertcharles4415]

That's a great idea, an expert will help you make the best decisions about investing

[@albertcharles4415]

I can't just wait on my 9_5 job. I do more to earn $$ I think everyone should too

[@bashirauwal5825]

Yeah I work with Rachel Blanc, she's a great expert and has been influential in my financial journey, I recommend her to everyone

[@theswooshi]

Absolutely understandable points! I think this is a common problem for all medical profession.

I am a doctor and I hate it! If the timings were more normal, then it would be bearable. But we have 32 hours call every 3rd day! Its like one day im post call and then the very next day I am pre call again!! I feel so tired all the time. It was like I was dying to be a doctor and now that I am, I hate it I hate it I hate it.

[@ikrimachoudry]

[@Muskiehunter4841]

what specialty? Because if you are going into something that will require this time in perpetuity, then change fields. I hate my job as a physician and I know a lot about medicine. My cousin and uncle and sister-in-law are derm, my brother-in-law is ortho, one brother is plastics, another brother urology, my sister occ med, another brother in law anesthesiology, and my cousin is anesthesiology. Things will get better after you graduate so hang in there. But, long-term pick the right practice and rent before you buy a home. See if you like your practice, call, pay, partners etc before you lock in living in one place. Little things like this count for long-term happiness. Personally, I have gotten to the point of hating human nature ( which is unhealthy for me and my patients but too long to explain) and the endless red tape required. I wish you good luck!

[@user-oi4ql1cd2b]

@@Muskiehunter4841 thankyou for putting in the effort to reply to me 🥺. Hope things get better for you and you find joy in your work ✨

[@LivingPrayingAndMedicine]

Ohh my your channel has grown so much I was last here years ago . I stopped making videos and kind of behind and you are way ahead . Good to hear you are now a doctor 🥳

[@sachin2105]

Nice Video Bro, I'm in Med school now so I hope things get better once I become a doctor.

[@davidzonunfela3680]

Very clickbaity my friend.. 👀

[@muratoz6519]

Hi, I'm a doctor from Turkey and doing specialty in family medicine. You are absolutely right about the things you have told. I'm feeling and thinking the same for some time. In addition to classical difficulties that we have naturally, we are facing insult, threatening and violence from the patients. Some doctors even died. Doctors, healers had always been precious for centuries. But nowadays, we are facing the most hard times for doing this job. Governments use us as a cheap workers which we have to stand up for! We have founded doctor unions and protesting this countrywide. We are valuable and human, we have one life. Things we live doesn't worth for doing this job. Dreamers who wanna be a doctor must think twice. Best wishes.

[@MK-qn7nj]

Although this was clickbaity, I found it very insightful

[@DoctorKenji]

This was a fair comment. Thank you!

[@khalilahd.]

You worked so hard to get to this point but I understand why you’re considering quitting 😅❤

[@DoctorKenji]

Thank you so much!

[@susannang4031]

Well, as juniors in any profession, we start our career doing really donkey jobs. Your attitude is key. Change your attitude and things around you will become more meaningful.

[@tiredlamp]

I totally get what you’re saying. Especially about the terrible pay. It’s not fair. But keep going, your work will pay off 😁

[@DoctorKenji]

Thank you!

Luckily he doesn’t live in Spain, where R1 (idk how is in the uk, maybe F1. I mean first year residents) have a salary of 1,2k monthly euros and work more than 40h a week… there are a lot of strikes… UNEMPLOYEMENT. Me, as a future doctor, would like to go to the UK to be a doctor

[@kurootsuki3326]

If i moved from part-time to fulltime as an executive assistant at my company i work for while in med school, with no qualifications, i'd earn more than you do as a FY1 in england. Luckily the australian contract is a bit higher, but its still difficult to justify

[@dac8939]

I work in quant finance. 3 days at home and 6 figures salary. A relative is a doctor and I really realise how lucky I have it.

[@DoctorKenji]

🥲🥲🥲

[@natyra22]

I work overnight shift at a psychiatric hospital. It is a struggle in terms of proper sleep. I get off at 7:30am and go straight to bed when I get home. However, I still wake up early around 11am despite my efforts to try to sleep in at least until early afternoon. Which I usually have to be back to work at 7 pm for my next 12 hr shift...

[@DoctorKenji]

That must be difficult!

[@Razumaki]

Few seconds into the video, and just loving the editing of the video! 😅

[@DoctorKenji]

Thank you so much! Will let my editors know 🙃

[@BallyBoy95]

Loved the editing. And yeah, life as a doctor is rough.

[@DoctorKenji]

Thank you! Will let my editor know

[@bestman529]

Dr Kenji please don't give up..things will change

[@DoctorKenji]

I’m not giving up 🙂

[@cryptokey1693]

Please don't quit look how far you have come so far

[@DoctorKenji]

[@watermelonqueen1755]

[@msrj899]

Bitter truth!

[@neec1234]

[@DoctorKenji]

I’m not quitting ☺️

[@abm7138]

You can work from home if you do Radiology

[@DoctorKenji]

In some circumstances yes

[@didi_bylka1345]

Have you considered moving to North America, where the pay is way higher?

[@DoctorKenji]

You have to sit extra exams and compete for a job so not at the moment. Maybe one day!

[@nikhilshrestha206]

Nooooo

[@elianayocheved770]

Private sector companies at the moment are winning me over with job perks.

[@7792pnaurfr]

Well not everyone's cut out to be a doctor. Most of you social media doctors prioritize popularity and the hustle so quitting medicine isn't a bad idea for these types of people.

[@mrsoyekan6252]

Maybe you should work as a doctor for a day... oh you can't!

[@Benjamin_w2025]

good

Didn't watch the video yet, but it's probably about money. 😉
