You'll watch an entire Netflix show even when the first episodes are slow and boring just because someone told you "it gets better." *But what if you looked at your goals like that and watched your life get better instead?*
Orthopedic surgeons r truly fascinating. Ive had my fair share of just awful knees. I was born with lax ligaments and caused my knees to dislocate. I had to get two mpfl reconstructions and my surgeon was amazing. I was 14 when I had the first surgery and the surgeon wasn’t in pediatrics but tried so hard to crack jokes and make me laugh to make me feel as comfortable as possible with him. Im now 19 and had to see that doc the other day again. He was over the moon to see me again and was shocked how grown up I am lol. He is truly the sweetest guy I have ever met.
I’m sorry to hear about your knees but I’m so happy to hear that your surgeon has been incredible for you! A personable surgeon can make a huge difference.
You are an inspiration to me. I myself am an aspiring orthopedic surgeon, fellow athlete, and motivated student (through your videos) to get better and evolve into the best version of myself possible. Thank you for these awesome videos and hopefully one day I will bump into you at a research conference, or in some cool way!
I’m honored Joshua! Thank you so much for this encouraging message! I’d love to bump into you at some point throughout our careers!
Your videos are so good. Love to binge watch them when I can't study due to too much work at the hospital. Next day, I wake up ready to go study!
Sometimes only a single video can help get up and study.
welcome back my mentor
So happy to be back putting out videos for you guys!!
Hey J.R, where do you get so many anki card decks?
Awesome video, JR! Hope you and the family are doing well and making the most of every moment!
Thank you so much Moe! We always appreciate your love and support bro!
I have biochem and cell bio rn in med 1, your anki and study tips are saving me so much time, thank you so much man! I definitely underestimated the work load of med school though 😴
The work load is no joke lol but I’m glad you’ve gotten into a good Anki routine! So happy my videos have helped!
I swear working out increases brain power...you guys are beasts!!!
Thanks for another awesome video! I love watching your channel. Following your med school journey has been an inspiration for me and I love the insight and reassurance you provide. Congratulations on becoming a parent!! 😊✨
I’m so happy you’ve been enjoying these videos and have found my journey inspiring! And thank you so much!! 🙏🏽
Great job brother, despite the fatigue, at the end of the day it's worth it
It really is! Thank you!
Those models and skills lab looked so cool!
The labs are some of the coolest places on campus!
Dr. JR, I just want you to know that you are the reason why I went and bought some beats studio headphones to study. 🤣 I’m 40 days out from the MCAT!
Ayyy love it bro! Hahah and let’s go! Good luck on that MCAT! You got it! 💪🏽✊🏽
In neuro block and just unsuspended bromocriptine- had to come back and comment after watching your video this morning! 😂
Ayyyy hahah hopefully it makes it easier to remember 😂
Great job, getting everything done
Appreciate you Grant! I had to hustle, but it got done lol
You really motivate me to get my grind on! Thank you!💙🤘
I’m so happy I can motivate you! You motivate me back!
Hey JR 👋 I was recently accepted to Mayo and am super excited. Your vlogs are such a great glimpse into what life will be like! They are really invaluable especially since we were not able to interview in-person and visit the campus. Random question: do the school-issued laptops also double as a writing tablet? I'm trying to decide whether I should buy an iPad or not. Thank you ☺
Hey Andrea! CONGRATULATIONS! That is incredible news! Welcome to the Mayo family! The laptops do not double as writing tablets. If you can mustard the finances for an ipad, I would recommend getting one. Though a lot of students make due with just the laptop!
@@EvolvingMedic Thank you so much!!! I’m excited to be part of the incredible Mayo family 😊
Awesome work JR
Thank you Esmael!
Welcome to king burger where you can have it your way, but don't get crazy! I love that skit 😂😂😭😭
Hahaha such a great skit 😂😂😂
Another great, high quality video as always! If I could get my life half as organized as yours I'd be in the right step lol. Your place has a nice aesthetic! Btw is your name JR short for something or is that your whole first name? Or can you give the school your preferred name and they will have that on your ID?
Thank you so much Amanda! I really appreciate it! And we can have our preferred name on our badges 😊
I’m ready for the next podcast episode👀 where is it at??
Hahah unfortunately the podcast has not been too high on my priorities list. It’s not dead, but just haven’t had the time
Dope. Keep the content coming man! But bro What is the instrumental called that was playing during the gym/surgical skills portion?!? beat was tough!
Thanks so much bro! And I honestly can’t remember lol. I got the beat from storyblocks. But I’m glad you liked it!!
Strongman 😎
Thank you!
QUESTION: After an exam do you suspend those Anki cards or do you keep them and add on? I keep them and add on but all my classmates are saying I'm crazy. I know its subjective but
I also keep them and add on. It’ll pay off for step 1. I’ll probably suspend all of them after that test though lol
@@EvolvingMedic hahaha ok wasn't sure if it was overkill but sounds good
@@EvolvingMedic QUESTION: Do you use Anki for ~100% of your studying and then integrate Qs? I did really well using Anki on my last exam but on this exam I'm spending more time with lecture nots and not so much Anki, I do all my cards for the day but haven't used Anki as my sole resource. How do you approach the week leading up to an exam? THANK YOU in advance
@@SoloJedi_ I do use Anki as essentially my sole study tool. I try and get all the cards unlocked for a given block a few days before the exam and then I spend those few days doing practice questions (either UWorld or AMBOSS since our exams are mostly NBME). I still do my reviews everyday though. I hope this helps!
What camera do you use for your videos?
I have been using the Sony a6400 (what I filmed this video with). But I recently upgraded to the Sony a7IV which I will use for future videos
When you say you've finished 600 anki cards? Does that mean you mastered them all 600 terms/concepts in ONE DAY? I'm a premed student so I know absolutely nothing about anki lol!
It basically means I’ve gotten through that many flash cards. It’s like having a deck of flash cards and once you get the answer right you put it in a pile to go through on another day. If you get the answer wrong you have to put it at the bottom of the deck you’re going through today and do it again. Getting 600 done just means I’ve gotten them right and have moved those cards to a pile in the future essentially
@@EvolvingMedic ah okay, thanks for clearing that up!
