And I want to do my masters there .which university would you recommend ? Please give me some suggestions 🙏 And you're videos are great and inspiring🤗
Welcome to Thailand Dr.Webb , I own a primary care clinic near there. I am a fan of your channel
I am so glad i found your channel. Because of your channels i believe that i can do this. I was afraid to persue a career as an MD out of fear of not being good enough. I did cry lol watching alot of your videos but now i feel like this is possible. I am gonna get started on this path late but as we say in our culture better late than never. Wish i could speak with you i have questions about so many things. I admire your work ethic and drive. Thank you so much for these Wonderful videos.
Nice to see you in Thailand again. Bhumibol hospital is the big and so busy. Also hospital belongs to Air force. Hope you got the great experience from Thai medical staffs. 😁😁

Thanks!
Grateful u weren't there during the outbreak. My mentors don't get to die before I meet them ☺️
Hello Dr. Webb! I was about to mention the danger of riding the motorcycle when you then mentioned how dangerous it was lol. I haven’t been to Bangkok or that part of the world but seen travel shows that talk about that. Great show! I am an IT guy and like it!
ha, thats why I never rode another motorcycle after that day.
Thank you for sharing Doc,God bless you keep winning and inspiring!!!

Hi, Dr. Webb. I love that you are exploring medicine outside the U.S. I am currently a medical student and the opportunity to explore medicine outside the US is so important for me. I know you went to Haiti and now Thailand, do you have these opportunities yourself our does your program have partnerships with international hospitals?
Your amazing!!! I love you Dr. Webb!!
Was this program/rotation organized through your residency program?
Ur such an inspiration

Mister Donut was my favorite when I lived in Japan.
so cool!!!
Dr Webb I have a serious question that I hope you can answer? What kept you going on the days you felt like all of the odds were against you when you were constantly failing in different avenues of life? What helped you push through the pain? What kept you going even when it seemed like life had beat you down? I’m experiencing this now as an undergrad on my quest to become a surgeon
Hello Positive Vibes. I know you're not asking me specifically, but when I saw your post I couldn't help but give you some encouragement. I'm an M3 now in medical school. I applied to medical school over 4 times. I took the MCAT 7 times. I went through depression for years but no one knew about it. It took a lot of prayer and patience to get me here. God kept me going as well as the mentality that He gave me. The mindset I have is that I don't ever let anyone tell me me what I can or cannot do. I never let family, friends, or strangers define the borders of my capabilities. I've had many ppl tell me that I would not make it to where I am now, especially academic advisors. I also knew that the only excuse for me not getting into medical school or completing any of my goals is DEATH. Other than that I have no excuse. You will be fine. Just push everyday because when you finally get into medical school,and YOU WILL, you'll see that its not intelligence that carries you through this process; its resilience. Another thing that keeps me going is that one of my biggest fears is regret. I never wanted to give up medicine and regret it 20 years later. I know you don't want to regret throwing in the towel. I really hope that helped you. Good luck!
Say you will quit tomorrow, repeat the rest of your life. Also make one positive change to your habits each day, keep repeating and you will keep getting better.
Glenn Martin Thanks!! I know that I am late responding to this message, but this has definitely helped me continue to move forward even in spite of constant failures. I just want to achieve my dreams of being a surgeon and working with kids. I realize one of the main things stopping me was the fear that if I put everything that I have into school I wouldn’t see any more results than I am seeing now. I’m not a quitter and I don’t want to live a life of regret. I have been putting in 60-70% effort almost my whole life. Today that stops and I will go beyond 100% to achieve the life and vision that I want for my self. Thanks for sharing your experience and it’s good to know that someone else out there has been through a lot of struggles and was still able to make it to the other side where success is.
Glenn Martin how did u end up getting in smp or what?
Glenn Martin thank you Glenn I know this wasn't for me but I needed this
Are you still doing the spine surgery fellowship? I remember you said you were interested in Spine surgery in a few videos where you interviewed others, but you also said in your book that you wanted to pursue Trauma Orthopedic Surgery.
Why are you in Thailand? Did your work send you there for a few days? I’m confused
A part of my residency training allows me to do an international trauma rotation so thats why Im here
Have you ever used Acumed's stuff? Best elbow and distal radius set in the game bar none.
Yes, we use acumed quite a bit
Everything looks so similar to India, even the slippers in the hospital! It was kinda like dejavu, but it wasn't, you know?
ha true!
Antonio J. Webb, M.D. eyyy, Dr Webb, my man, really appreciate the hard work and inside info you be providing us with. The orthopedic residency in India is actually a three year program after five and a half years of med school. I'm actually a Canadian, went to India and now aspire to follow in your footsteps. I plan to give step one in about six months time, I'll probably hit you up on Patreon a month or two before my scheduled exam date, you know, just to make sure I got everything on lock. Keep up the good work, you're a true inspiration to all of us out here, believe that!
Awesome! Keep up the good work and stay in touch! I currently have a patreon located in poland so just let me know!
Did you end up taking the exam? How did you do?
Do you know if a scrub nurse from germany can also work in bangkok in a operating room?
Grettings!
the trip looked awesome
Thank you!
GOOD STUFF MAN
Thanks!
Please visit the Philippines alsp
Dr. Webb....you’re my guy: No More Motorcycle Rides PLEASE. 😊
Should have come to Beijing and take you for mandarin ride to the Middle Kingdom
Very cool, does other jobs in healthcare have this luxury of traveling ? Or is it only subject to surgeons .
Chris Burke the military is another option
Not strictly surgeons, nurses, techs, RT, public heath personnel, etc
How do you communicate with everyone in the hospital
^ Was about to ask this. One of the fellow residents translates for you?
A lot of the surgeons speak English as well
They are doctors... Most Doctors speak English since they have to go through so much school..most people in a high level profession learn to speak English regardless of country of origin.
Thailand is a high percentage of English speakers due to it being a popular young person holiday destination (similar to Cancun for Americans) as such most now begin learning it before the age of ten and continue to learn it through all levels of education. For example even if someone does a PhD there they are required to take English classes too.
Hey doc I’m going into the navy but I didn’t get medical job like I hope too I was think about doing my 5 years and obtain a bachelors degree while in and after i get out apply to medical any advice u can give me?
Hi, sounds like you have a good plan. I would try to attend classes as soon as you can, usually right after OJT. Most bases have classes on base. When I was in the military, they paid 100% tuition and books but im not sure what they pay now. I suggest trying to knock out as much school while you are active duty and then get out the military, finish up remaining classes/MCAT, and then apply. This is exactly what I did.
Antonio J. Webb, M.D. that sounds awesome thank you for all the help and information much love too u and ur channel I watch ur videos all the time and they help me keep driving for my goals and what too achieve.
No problem! Please let me know of any other videos you would like to see or any other suggestions to improve the channel! Thanks for watching!
Dr. Webb
Antonio J. Webb, M.D. will do by the way I love the content u post on here.
Hey Dr Webb do you know anyone that matched with an integrated cardio thoracic surgery residency (I6) ? I'm about to start a post bacc in South Florida and I've been doing research on congenital heart surgery and I love the specialty. I know the I6 CT surgery residencies are super competitive so I wanted to know your thoughts on it. There are a few paths to get to Peds CT surgery I just wanted to ask about this one. Thanks!
Unfortunately, I dont know anyone who has matched in that program but I will be on the lookout for someone. Im actually looking for someone to do an interview for my careers in medicine series.
Okay thanks for the input though! I know the chief of Peds CT surgery here but he and most of the doctors around the US and the world did the basic 5 years gen surg + research, 2-3 years CT surg and then 1-2 years peds CT surg fellowship. It's also such a small field but I'll be looking out for that. I love the specialty and seeing those kids get better/ watching these complex surgeries really inspires me to go for it and make an impact on these babies and their families. My post bacc situation is unique in that I have the opportunity to essentially start over because I've only take 4 classes required for med school (changed my major to religious studies Midway through college graduated with a 2.76) and haven't take the MCAT. My advisor at UF med said that I can make myself as competitive as I want if I bounce back and take my sciences + high level biologies and get my research moving along + get a good MCAT score. Your channel is really helpful for me as a black man hoping To go into medicine. Is there any way I can contact you like through email to pick your brain a bit?
I know that I have a lot of hard work to do but i'm very determined to do well because I know that I can do well. There is a lot of back story to my grades and academic history but its motivated me to re-pursue my dream to be a doctor who takes care sick babies/children.
Awesome! Keep up the good work!
You asked about Cardiothoracic Surgery a few weeks ago! Check out this interview here:

Seahawks! You must live in Seattle (area)?

Thank you!
how much they are going to pay
I bet residency prepares you super well for jet lag.
ha, yes somewhat
Cool experience! What was the reason for the trip?
Trauma surgery fellowship
I wonder was my surgeon smiling like that when they reamed my femur canal back in July when I broke my femur lol
ha probably so
Antonio J. Webb, M.D. I think so...lol...I had a compound fracture so they wanted to do exchange nailing but I opted for dynamization. But it's working...You guys are amazing keep up the good work
you're a real mfkn G
How did you know what they were saying ? Was there someone there who interpreted for you ?
Most of the surgeon spoke decent english
Antonio J. Webb, M.D. well that makes sense ! Thank you
