    This video is amazing. I always knew that I wanted to be a cardiac surgeon since I was 10 years old, I'm now 17, now in my junior year of high-school and I'm still excited to start my future in the cardiac field. I can't wait. And everyone else who wants to do the same, don't give up even if it's hard. Keep going and keep pushing yourself to be great.

      I’m 13, I’ve been thinking about becoming a CT surgeon, I’ve been thinking about missing sleep, family, and fun. But I’ve seen many doctors that say they have never had a boring day in their career. So I’m motivated to go further and try hard

      Cardiac anesthesia is part of anesthesia in general. You can do a fellowship if genuinely interested. But anesthesia is by far THE best medical specialty. Yes, I’m biased, I know

    First 50 seconds are a bit too general in my opinion. Those attributes could be applied to any surgical speciality , but the rest of the video is great! Love the idea of getting students interested cardiothoracics

      Hi Angel. I do not know how medical education in Bangladesh works. I only know that of the United States. I think the best thing you can do is research how to become a doctor in Bangladesh and ask other doctors there around.
