As a junior doctor in UK, I can tell you for a fact, do not choose medicine for the money! It must be from passion!
Prestige....
Hello
More reasons to really appreciate good doctors, if you didn't already. :)
So true.
Good sis. Where have you been on these UA-cam streets? Hope all is well
What was that random foot part I wasn't ready for that
Pal I'M SO GLAD SOMEONE ELSE THOUGHT SO TOO like ew pls no
@@hairspray242 i wasnt prepared and now i cant sleep
help
Me too I’ve had to stop eating and I’m just feeling weird now that was horribly disgusting
Where
This inspired me. It inspired me NOT to become a Doctor.
It’s worth it in the end tho
Its the best job in the world! FAITH in UK 🇬🇧
@Harry Smith Doctors who do it in the UK rarely do it for money
Harry Smith Doctors in the UK are in it for the patient care and passion for the job unlike the USA where they pretty much only do it for the money!
Harry Smith Completely agree. As an aspiring medic myself in the UK, during my work experience it was obvious they need to be paid more (during lunch breaks a lot of the time was spent complaining about wages 😂), although you can lead a comfortable life with the salary as a consultant. After a minimum of 14 years after med school a wage of 80k a year with it gradually increasing until its capped at 105k isn’t bad. Also you can get extra money applying to award programmes where you are banded and can make extra money (the best get a further 70k added). So the money isn’t too bad in the UK though it’s still no where near that of the USA!
I am so greatful for health care professionals. Where would we be without them!?
I am too. Except dentists, who in my experience are nothing more than a bunch of robbing 'shisters'!
Full of 💩 apparently 😂
Doctors should get the most pay can't believe we have footballers who get 10k a week doctor's are actually saving lives and trying to do good in the world
Badria lol are you willing to pay more taxes then
No that’s a load of rubbish...
1) most football players don’t get those wages, on the best in the top leagues. Looking into the unknown leagues and the lower leagues and there on average wages.
2) following on from that point, it’s like anything in life, you become the best at a certain job and you will get paid handsomely... the best doctors in the world are billionaires! Football players that are on 10K a week it’s because they really good as being a footballer... in fact the best doctors earn wayyy more than the best footballers player by miles. It’s called life. If a doctor wants to earn similar to a football player... become one of the best doctors like how the football players your comparing them to are one of the best.
3) plus for a lot of football fans who have no family, they gain one from football believe it or not... it’s its own community which lots of people really do benefit off.
A. Latiwala In what sense is it personal, the wages some doctors are on are facts and some football players dont earn a lot?
Badria obviously you don’t know how many stupid doctors are out their ruining patient’s lives due to their ignorance. Football players are entertainers who put their health on the line on a daily basis
U are so dumb.
That last guy, poor thing😂
These guy doctors are hot sheesh holla me their insta
my man has been down bad since 2018
As a medical student this hits hard :(
The good news is that you do also get great job satisfaction eventually, and things do get better after the first couple of years. You made the right choice, just embrace the whole thing.
but what did you expect. that s the meaning of being a doctor
Ikr right
Sweeperboy doctors have some of the highest suicide rates...
In which stage are you now?
Despite the amount of trouble doctors might go through. I feel like seeing a person happy and relieved after all the pain they go through is a lot more meaningful.
Not worth it, not with this pay at least. Be realistic
"He enjoyed it more than I did"
😂😂😂😂
I respect the doctors man. Their career is to help people get better from illnesses and injuries. My full respect goes out to the nurses too.
Awwww lol these guys deserve a significant pay raise 👌🏾👌🏾👌🏾👌🏾👌🏾 Also, well hello Emeka!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! 😉😉😂😂😂
Huge respect for doctors! Heroes of our society and the ones who are the real role models... ❤️
Not just the junior doctors who do crazy hours. When my dad was dying in hospital the consultant was called in out of his bed at one in the morning.
And he was handsomely compensated for that residential on call commitment. The junior doctor who assessed your dad, ran the investigations, called the consultant, and then did the follow up medical management was paid £14 an hour pre tax.
God imagine having to do this, and then only 2 years later (for some of them or maybe all) then having to go through the coronavirus
THE FIRST GUY IS SO CUTE WTF
Nah. He Chinese.
@@w.k.7277 just leave. He’s cute okay
@@w.k.7277 Disgusting racist
@@jenniferyhu7553 and proud! ❤️
@@w.k.7277 what are you proud of🤔
My my my .... that doctor in the dark blue scrubs 😍 ... wow...
I’m going to start my work as a junior doctor in two weeks and I’m terrified!
Savannah Nortangle good luck ☺️ you will manage. I believe in you.
Ana Katusic oh my god thank you so much! You dont know how much I need this ☺️☺️☺️☺️
Good luck! It’ll be tough, but you can do it! 💕
Same here lol
how's it going?
I don’t think I’d want to be a doctor anymore, purely based on the fact that it’ll take up ALL my time. I don’t have a problem working hard but barely eating/sleeping isn’t for me, just not healthy. But I respect all the doctors!
Hasn't put me off at all, well done guys!
The most important one, learn to learn from your nurses...every good doctor has always had good nurses behind them.
pre med students will never listen to advice until reality hit them in hospital....we were all once a stubborn high school students who believe in passion, now we tell the juniors not to enter med school and the cycle is repeating
The last story was the best, about the penis. Loved the look on the medics face
Bless them.
0:47 says “dirty” in two completely different accents lol ok
hahahah
Maybe she 'corrected' her accent so she could be more understood
Doctors need to get paid more than athletes!!
I dont want them wingin it 😅 but these people deserve more praise, such hard workers!
Haha, yes that was unfortunate terminology. I think what she meant was "educated guesswork" rather than completely random treatment. Young doctors are often thrown into difficult situations they've not met before, and have to rely on theoretical teaching they had perhaps years ago to know what to do.
Until they gain the experience in due course, for which there is no substitute. But everyone has to start somewhere.
Oh my god, I wish I'd known there was an image of a foot having something pulled out of it before I watched this video!!
The fact that a doctor is openly admitting that he needs to sacrifice sleep to work as a doctor is very concerning😐
Thats the life of a junior doctor. You don't regain that luxury until you're a senior really.
@@WahabGoldsmith Very problematic considering when we get less than 6 hours sleep a night we begin to decline in so many ways.
Welcome to the healthcare profession!! 👍
The other day I responded to a trauma patient who fell down stairs, blood everywhere, to get IV access I had to kneel in the patients blood.
A doctor saying his heart was beating as fast a the patients during the patients respiratory arrest! 😂😂😂
Respiratory and not cardiac though
Mahmood Elnaiem respiratory arrest and cardiac arrest normally happen at the same time.
If not, respiratory arrest (similar to Peri arrest in children) will lead to arrhythmia, fibrillation and then cardiac arrest very very quickly.
Nurses also have experienced all of this!
its sad to see so many people getting paid tons of money for doing literally nothing, and doctors not getting the cash they deserve
Doctors are raking in money in the USA!
@@melbahrami3389 bruh they literally start getting good salary after 10 years so shut up
@@yeontanssmum9321
Anything you say!
I can’t wait for this to be my life.
Yup... Here is my reasoning for aiming for the veterinary career
The constipation case is so common. If only GPs would teach patients how to actually use an enema, instead of them taking useless prune juice, and being too frightened to stick a tube up their anus and get it out that way. I had to relieve a patient from fecal impaction, and did not enjoy eating after.
A Nurse once said, "Plenty of water, plenty of roughage....there should be no problems with constipation." 🤗🤗
I’m a second yr student nurse and I feel exactly like them
me too :(
More reason to make them on higher pay they give there lifes up to save another
I start med school in September....what am I getting myself into 😭😭
Congratulationssss. I'm sure it's so rewarding in the end
@@Qurann21 not sure about that, but you will get used to it like how we all do in the end.
1:40 what? lol
Erection...it's even more awkward when it's a young female doctor trying to catheterise a male patient...often a much older one.
" enjoyed a lot more than I DID"
This made me feel alot better I thought I was dumb
I can’t believe footballers get so much money
That's what capitalism gets you
Dont forget ticktokers
unlike tiktokers footballers actually have talent and work really hard for what they do.
Outstanding young servants to our society! FAITH in UK 🇬🇧
I’m sticking to dentistry 🤭
Tiffany Rose life as a dentist is tough as well
@QE ornotQE What makes dentistry better?
You sacrifice a lot
I can understand why doctors and veterinarian are paid so well. I think most people are too squeamish to do what they do.
They are really not paid well espically vets. Average income before taxs 80k U.S. dollars.
Junior Doctors in uk are getting 30k before tax lol. Pulling 72 hour weeks, four 12 hour night shifts in a row, working Christmas and new year, telling people they’re dying etc etc. A lot of them don’t realise until they’re there just how shit it is and then don’t want to have wasted all the years of training.
Underfloor Insulation Glasgow if u don't wanna do this then go out people are competing
@@tsubasa123ist Every competitor will feel exactly the same one day or the other. Don't judge if you have not been there
My girlfriend and I finally got our new jobs secured in Canada and will be able to leave the NHS in August. Can't wait. :)
as doctors?
@@fatimab6064 Yeah. I'm an acute med registrar and she's a gen surg registrar.
@@weipu93 Good luck to you. Im from Pakistan and lots of people here aspire to pass plab so they can work in the uk due to lack of infrastructure in our country. One man's meat is another man's poison I guess.
Are you guys going to be doctors in canada or taking up some other job?
I wanted to be a doctor I’m not quite sure now !!!
if this doesn bother you at all and you can deal with it and still feel good become a doctor, but if this yikes you out please look for another profession
susuilu I mean, being a doctor is quite a vague thing to say, because there so many things you could do within medicine.. you could specialise in stuff too. The video isn’t common occurrences for all doctors
@@nothingreal7137 ABSOLUTELY AGREE WITH YOU. but if you work as a surgeon , you shouldnt be yikes out when seeing blood etc
Hahaha The last part was a killer!!!
Looking forward to it 😐
Do one on nursing
I agree, that would be good.
Talk about regretting this
1:05 my mum would always tell me about that and I would get so scared
You are our heroes!
Doctor Emeka Okorocha 🙌🏻
Horrific stories.......yet I'm still drawn to medicine
Wow! Respect!
i feel for the constipation guy 😅
1:02 holy cookies
That procedure is called Manual Evacuation
Now I want to become a doctor
Am I the only one who get even more motivated to be a physician by these types of videos
The last guy's experience 😅😅😅😅😅😅😅
Does anyone know where you can watch this show junior doctor blood sweat and tears? Other than on bbc iplayer
Shouldn't have watched this while eating
HEY YOU
Don't watch this while eating, learn from my mistakes 😷
Let's not be biased. I really hope you realise that it is their choices to become doctors. Whatever you choose, you have to bear consequences. We must bear in mind that there isn't any single profession in this world that's easy. Also we have Doctors who commit offences as well as medical negligence. You've got scavengers also who are saving your lives by keeping your environment clean and disease free. It's just a matter of perception.
If we don't have docs nurses ems care assistant ect we are all dead
Funny how they say "deal with -bodily fluid-" as they observe it, but the nurses are the ones actually DEALING with it >__>
Thanks for the viewer discretion warning. No worries, I'll just puke on side of my bed next time.
Oh boo hoo hoo. What were you expecting in a piece about the lives/work of junior doctors? Sunshine and rainbows?
I see I triggered you a lil, I'll mark that in my "things to not give a fuck about" list.
You cared enough to make your cry-baby post. Nice use of internet buzz-words by the way.
Nah, I just get enjoyment in how mad you're getting over an online comment. Cheers.
0:04 - Sophie Turner??? Is that you??
Is a Junior Doctor the same as an intern? I've never heard of them as we don't have them where I live...if anybody has the answer to this it would be greatly appreciated🙂
I think an intern is not certified yet, but junior doctors are in the UK. So in terms of US vs UK terminology a junior doctor is probably closer to a resident, as they are fully qualified and registered, but still report to a more senior doctor. Then again, a first year junior doctor may be more equivalent to an intern competency wise?
+koisty01 thanx for helping me understand...this CANADIAN appreciates it very much...cheers!
+G thank you for helping me understand this better...much thanks...cheers!
"Junior doctor" in the UK can be a bit of a tricky term to understand. In a way, any training grade hospital doctor who isn't a Consultant (similar to an Attending) is classified as "junior", but that can include fairly experienced doctors who are some ten years post-qualification.
Having said this, these guys in this video are quite junior, probably pre-registration house officers (or the new term, Foundation Year 1 doctors). They are qualified doctors but not fully certified by the General Medical Council, and are in their first year of working in the profession. They are, essentially, the "green P" plate drivers of medicine (people in the UK will understand the difference between a red L sign denoting a learner driver who hasn't passed their driving test yet and a green P denoting someone who has just passed but not yet experienced).
So actually, Foundation Year 1 doctors are roughly similar to Interns, yes.
Nope that’s a foundation doctor, a junior doctor is a resident.
ph noooo the last
Oh my god
Medicine will change me a lot…
❤️
Ooo poor you guys.
Wtf. Why the hell are the doctors that hot ? Bbc. Aiyaiyai. You purposely find the attractive ones
I wished I knew that 50% of my colleagues where gonna be outstanding and dedicated profesionals who go beyond their job to help people. I wish I knew that the other half only wanted to be a doctor for the money with disregard of the patients well being.
Xaverius 1 well wanting to do it for money is kinda dumb, considering in the UK doctors barely classify in the "average" salary till they're about 38.
I mean if doctors were paid more, maybe they would have been More motivated
are they allowed to tell these stories?
Changedma Name yeah, as long as no specifics are given
Yes, they can as long as no patient can be identified by the description.
The amount of money they get this is worth it
We don't get paid as much as you think.
I'm currently studying level 3 health and social care, does anyone know the quickest route to becoming a junior doctor? I'm also stuck between advanced apprenticeship level 4/5 or foundation degree
You can't become a jr doctor without a degree in medicine, which you are not qualified to apply for without sufficient A level grades and a decent UKCAT score
Hey, you can either take your A-levels and apply for medicine (undergraduate entry) or medicine with a foundation year. Or, you can otherwise do an undergraduate degree, doesn’t have to be limited to science but of course would be helpful if it was in the scientific field, and then apply for graduate entry medicine. The journey is long and tough, but if medicine is truly what you want, never give up! (I’m currently a medical student)
Do You think this video with BLOOD and everything will scare me?
*MEET my ASIAN PARENTS*
Nothing more scarier than being a DISGRACE to the whole CLAN😭
Why be a doctor
ask an ethnic parent and you'll get a lecture 🤣
cleaning someone's bum is not that bad since we usually have to do it for young kids.
Don’t be a junior be a real doctor 🥼
I don't want to offend the doctors, but the nurses and care assistants do most of the dirty job, they are just ordering.
Oh ffs like nurses don't do all of the shitty stuff too and to a far greater extent
e.p the beginning
Of COURSE nurses are involved in cardiac arrests. Every single one I've ever seen. What do you even think a cardiac arrest is? Do you think we just stand there watching our patients die while we wait for a doctors to come from another place on site to do it for us? No babe. Nurses are 9/10 the first people doing compressions (and continue to do so throughout the whole arrest as well, we don't hurry right off once the doc shows up).
And yes nurses do surgery too, including on feet I'm sure. You will be hard pressed to find a single surgery where a nurse is not required and there a plenty of nurse practitioners that perform surgical procedures independently.
I am not taking away from the exceptional hard work that medical staff put in nor the great challenges that junior doctors face in their first few years. My point was merely that nurses have to make extremely similar sacrifices regarding sleep and their social lives for less play and less respect. Do doctors have greater anatomical knowledge? Absolutely, but there are by no means more skilled (it is embarrassing how poor some of their practical skills are given the great emphasis placed on their theoretical knowledge during their training).
Talking about how dirty their job is? "feces, urine, blood, sputum, snot on a daily basis"...
I have never met a doctor that took a sputum sample, a stool sample, a urine sample, etc themselves. Nurses catheterise patients more often than not. Nurses do wound care. Do they avoid getting their hands dirty completely? No, but I'd hazard a guess that except for surgical/emergency doctors they manage to avoid about 80% in not more comparative to nursing staff (and even if they come into contact with it, it's not like they have to stick around to clean it up).
Of course nurses do a lot of that too. But it's not a competition between nurses and doctors, is it?
Madi NP ....this is a programme just for foundation doctors and it wasn't aimed to compare nurses and doctors.
ok, but this is a video about junior doctors tho lol. not saying nurses dont work hard too, but the comment sounds extremely bitter....like its not a competition
This video is in no way putting down nurses, it's just that these people are in a series about junior doctors so that's what they are haha.
And Tik Tokers earn more than them.......
So they're essentially nurses?
John Doe Nurses are absolutely vital and amazing, but no, their roles are completely different, even on a junior level
They are interns
Nurses and Doctors have completely different scopes of practices. Nurses preform more holistic/ practical care whilst a doctors scope is more scientific based. Although Doctors and nurses do have some shared responsibilities. I'm a nursing student lol
They are far from nurses 😂
valiant Othello i know what a doctor and a nurse are. The issue i'm having is yall cal them junior doctors and they show them doing the same exact practices as nurses here and nurse practitioners. The title makes zero sense if they are actual doctors and a low level of experience gaining their knowledge through their entry level it is called a residency in the states. They are doctors like anyone else with the degree but are simply graduates going through their residency program. Literally everything they have shown is what nurses would typically do in a day working in the ER or trauma unit in the states.
