WHY YOU SHOULD NOT BECOME A GP!

[@sanghamitrachaudhuri1470]

Incredible! a much-needed video on GP training! every video always highlights the Pros of GP training and never the cons! I personally always had a question about the general practice that how do GP's manage to examine, diagnose, and decide on the treatment plan for the patient in literally just 10mins?!!! that's like a superhuman job tbh..... home visits are not particularly "safe" or "comfortable" either ..... at the end of the day any specialty training is tough if you are not cut out for it... NOTHING IS EASY IN MEDICINE! PERIOD.

[@DoctorNosa]

Exactly!!!!! Not sure who thought it was a good idea to have such short appointment times & I completely agree regarding home visits, it’s always a bit unnerving visiting people at home...definitely! No specialty training is easy!

[@Xavicardenas]

@@DoctorNosa I had to study healthcare financing to realise that the 10 min appointment was designed because of the capitation payments. They literally turned the medical evaluation and anamnesis into a high production factory. And we doctors learnt to adapt to it instead of fighting against it.

[@DrErwinKwun]

Great video Dr Nosa. GP is definitely far from an easy option. The challenges of working in community is often more complex than in Hospital. The experience of GP training will differ depending on the workload and culture at the surgery.

[@DoctorNosa]

Thanks Dr Erwin! Completely agree!

[@Haisumkm]

Thank you for being completely honest and transparent, Nosa. I'm a GPST3 and everything you highlight in this Vlog has resonated deeply with me. Keep on inspiring, sharing beneficial knowledge and continue the excellent Vlogs on on your YT channel.

[@elkammash]

Thank you Nosa for that video. It went against all videos that are praising GP training. I think GP is still a good option for some IMGs who came to UK at older age after overseas training. It allows doing special interest and I think it is better than CESR pathway.

[@DoctorNosa]

You’re welcome! Completely agree it’s still a good option especially for the flexibility. There’s also a wide scope of special interest options. Just think people should be aware what they are getting into 😃

[@drpeppleshub3222]

Absolutely spot on. GP isn’t an easy option afterall. Personally, I just want to get my CCT and decide what I want to do with my life...

[@DoctorNosa]

Thank you Dr Pepple! I can totally relate! Once we get that CCT, world is our oyster haha

[@taboodoctor4497]

😂 I totally understand that feeling

[@afuaagyei5869]

I have question please. After completing GP training can you go back to hospital specialties? Surgery etc?

[@solslastcannula5665]

CCT in what though? You have to specialise

[@mohamedsurgery9662]

great vide Dr Nosa. thank you for being honest and transparent. You completely clarified the cons of being a GP

[@odionjesse2966]

Thank you Dr. Nosa Compliment of the season May the season bring you and yours unending blessings.

[@DoctorNosa]

Same to you Jesse! Amen! God bless you 💜

[@amparito5312]

True … GP is way more stressful than my previous hospital jobs! It is a different type of stress

[@ezinneerhirhieneeukaogo1439]

What about life after training? I'm conditioned to always look at the end of a matter.

[@sidraghafoor1805]

This was so helpful! I think no matter wat jobs their are always gonna be cons so just do wat u love!!

Thank you so much for sharing this video! I'm currently in my final year of medical school and have been considering different specialities. I tend to gravitate towards clinic based specialities and I was just wondering what other specialities did you consider before settling for GP?

Not at all, Just giving you all the information you need to make sure it’s the right speciality for you. 😃

[@twomenandaboat8681]

Great video and love the honest insight into GP. Can I ask though, would you still recommend GP as a career option? Or do you think the negatives are greater than the positives? Thanks!

[@DoctorNosa]

Thanks a lot! I would still recommend it but really depends on what’s important to you. More time to do other things you love as well? More time with family? Good salary equivalent and sometimes more than hospital consultants, can deal with the actual day to day job of a GP then yes! GP is likely for you!

[@angrybird3747]

Hey, I am a female doctor from Bangladesh. Just finished my internship recently. I am now preparing for plab. I want to become a gynecologist. Would you please make a video on the pros & cons of gynae & obstetrics.. It would be very helpful for many person like us who want to come to uk. Thanks.😊😊

[@xXAnni3LuvsYhuXx]

The truth is being a GP is way more relaxed than running around the hospital like a headless chicken for 12 hours straight.

[@arnaupuig5097]

It depends on the position... a pathologist or radiologist will have a far more relaxed lifestyle than any GP. All they do is look at slides and x rays, no night shifts... pretty chill.

Got to say, if I was a Doctor, I would 100% leave for Australia, better quality of life, more sunshine, and double the money, it's a no brainer.

What an ignorant comment. The job is hard, and the pay is not commensurate to the hardwork and skill of GPs. I am not surprised anyway. Seeing this kind of comment is now so common amongst the public. You never value what you have until you lose it.
