    Wow Dr. Brown is seriously the definition of class. Literally operated on a kid for no money because he felt bad about how he was feeling. Big ups to you man

    Man, when Dr. Brown told the story about the gynecomastia case, it brought tears to my eyes. As somebody who struggled with their body image as a child, I can empathize with that kid and man I am not sure some people can completely comprehend how impactful that operation was for him. That was awesome.

    I was surprisingly happy when he mentioned the whole “psychiatrists with a knife” thing because I want to pursue plastic surgery but was struggling with picking an undergrad major. I ended up choosing psychology but was kinda iffy about it since i’m going into surgery.. now i’m really confident with my choice :)

    To some this a petty issue but having a thyroid issue for 37 years: finally had my post Graves Disease lids fixed. (I 131 at the time) Love love love my plastic surgeon. I’m 68 now and ok with aging but not only don’t look crabby/ tired anymore BUT right eye had 50%, left 30% and had no idea how much field of vision I’d be getting back. Amazing. Grateful that’s all I’ve ever “needed”. Bless what you do. Retired nurse: 4 yrs scrubbed in out of 41 years. Dang managerial changes to scheduling. Lol Loved it.

    Awesome video as always! I was born with a bilateral cleft lip and palate so I've had a lot of operations😂 the last plastic surgeon that I had locally for this type of operation is an incredibly kinda man, my mom was telling me how all the nurses said they were nervous cause he was well known from down south(Im in Alaska) and that he was such a nice guy. I have adhd and it is so true that people on a NT spectrum think so differently, we are always wanting to learn, so I love these types of videos.

      @@doctorricky for sure. Major respect to you for sharing your story about your sons. I have an older brother who has autism and I can totally relate! At first it is difficult managing the responsibility and you wonder why this fate is on you. But in taking up the responsibility, you come to understand they have a unique vantage point on the world and their innocence in that sense is pure. You really get to love them for who they are and in the process of helping them adapt to the world the best you can, there's a part of you that is better off for it. And that truly is a gift that you can't not appreciate.

      can someone do radiology then interventional rad then sub specialise in vasclar?
      or do u have to IM first to get into vascular IR?

    • @davidlakhter
      @davidlakhter 2 роки тому +1

      @@maghen2972 in a sense interventional radiology/cardiology procedures are vascular procedures bc they intervene via venous/arterial systems. For interventional radiology there are many combined residency/fellowship programs. You can also go through radiology residency first. If you want to go into interventional neuroradiology, you can also start off in neurology residency, but it's not as common right now I believe. For interventional cardiology there isn't a combined residency/fellowship program yet, so you do complete IM, then cardio fellowship, and then interventional cardiologist fellowships. Other than these pathways to specialize in vascular procedures, vascular surgery is a separate field/training process. You can either go through general surgery track or a specialized vascular surgery track training to get there. You'll also be learning interventional procedures, but you will deal primarily with surgical cases related to the vascular systems.

    @davidlakhter 2 роки тому +8

    5:30 yea interventional cardiology is also ~8 years bc it's usually 3 year IM, 3 years cardio, 2 years fellowship (now you generally do two fellowships to be competitive). Now it's probably more competitive because to get into a good cardiology residency/good fellowship thereafter, you'll prob complete a research year or chief residents year. So this path can be up there w/ neurosurgery in training duration
    25:00 that's insanely lucky! and what a case for last day on trauma call
    27:00 you should have Dr. Young on at some point to address their online beef haha
    30:30 that's quite the unique answer!
    38:18 yeah the business of medicine sucks
    38:50 this is something people should learn about earlier on in undergrad before commiting to such a journey. this would aid in the moments when you may feel burntout/have imposter syndrome by helping you have focus and know who you are
