Why I Stopped Posting... Medical School Vlog

Well... I'm back! We have a lot to catch up on. Its all about why I have been so busy as a medical student unable to post on youtube. We are going to cover all that I have learned during my time in pre-clinical at GW Med. We are also going to quickly touch on what I am going to do next with rotations and plans for future videos.

Done, Doc 🌼

[@shouldigetit]

This was the most med school focused video I've seen, very sincere and puts into perspective how much goes into the schooling outside of class itself!

[@JasonKrastein]

Thanks so much for the support! I love your channel! Would love to collab one day! Maybe about how to get a side income while being a student ?

[@karinakrastein]

the world is happy you’re back on KZbin and also we like your new glasses!

[@JasonKrastein]

I’m happy to be back. It was good to talk to the camera and to all of you by extension. More videos soon!

[@kellylee2562]

Congratulations on your first manuscript! I think it's a very interesting review of the safety of medication use during pregnancy and lactation. You are doing GREAT! You will for sure rock your step 1. You got this!

[@JasonKrastein]

It was definitely a fun project to work on in the FDA. I hope it really helps make a difference. Thanks for the support. I need all the encouragement I can get !

[@ethanm9658]

so good to see you back man, your videos empower me as a premed student. Aspire to become a physician like you!

[@JasonKrastein]

Wow thanks so much! I truly appreciate it. Happy to help out in any way!

[@maotoby1246]

Hey Jason, I wish you the best luck on your exam. Every time when I feel down or beaten I would watch your video and feel empowered again. I appreciate you sharing your wisdoms and tips. I am actually from DC suburbs and absolutely love GW med school campus. I now go to school in Baltimore and will apply to med school very soon. Your videos meant a lot truly! Wish you the best of luck!

[@JasonKrastein]

Wow that really means a lot. Glad I could help!! Let me know if you have any questions about the med school application process. Happy to help!

[@alex47927]

Good luck with everything you’re doing! Totally understand KZbin won’t always be a top priority for you

[@JasonKrastein]

Thanks so much. I truly appreciate it. I hope to be back soon!!

[@lbraver2339]

I am super excited about your rotations! Women's Health particularly OB-GYN is probably my second favorite specialties in Medicine after Emergency Services. I truly enjoyed my nursing clinical rotations but I ended up settling as a Trauma ER Nurse - regardless I hope you enjoy it! Psych - to me is pretty sad. It really exposes you a lot to mental health access and often times as much as we would like to help or patients - our hands are tied due to lack of resources and that's why most ended up being a Psych Hold in our ED departments .Peds and Primary Care - not so much. I like to stay busy which is why I chose ER over the others Regardless, enjoy your time with each specialties and learn from it. Also - when you get out in the field, be kind to your nurses "hint hint" LOL. 🤣😉 It is also awesome to hear you are doing Research - this is why I am still contemplating on getting either my PhD in Nursing or my DNP - but I like staying in clinical so maybe in the next few months I may just do it. Can't wait to hear about your clinical rotations! Also - what are you doing to prepare yourself to your clinicals? I dig the glasses. You look legit - like Grey's Anatomy legit 🥰🥰🤩😁😂🤪

[@JasonKrastein]

I am very excited to start rotations. It will be great to apply all that I have learned into reality. I am definitely nervous but it will come soon enough and I will just have to learn on my feet. Research is mainly just speaking with faculty and understanding what they are looking for and how best you can help them. It has definitely been tough and is taking a lot longer than I had anticipated.

[@Kingalily14]

Hi Jason, glad you're back. Medicine is really hard and demands lots of your time. I think, cancer research and women's health are really important, glad you did your research on them. But do you have in mind what do you want to specialize? Have fun on your rotation. Thank you🌺

[@JasonKrastein]

Glad to be back, especially when I have people like you supporting me. As of now, I want to specialize in oncology

[@Kingalily14]

@@JasonKrastein Wow, I would love to do Oncology someday too ! No problem, Doc. Love your videos, hope you can post more videos, when you can! take care Doc🌺

[@JasonKrastein]

Thank you !! I’ll hopefully be able to work with you one day!! Any tips for clinicals ?

[@ayova61]

for clinicals be very passionate about patient history/info, management , in the most efficient way that you know patient next steps cold but then help the team do they do less work (basically function independent short of putting in orders). and the three a’s

[@JasonKrastein]

What are the 3 a’s?

[@inlineloverr]

How r u?

[@JasonKrastein]

I’m doing well. Almost done with my 3rd year clinical rotations. Always appreciate you checking in.
