Nice video
Can you please speak about the FDA clinical trials involving Neuralink and cervical spine cord injuries (tetraplegia and paraplegia).
Antonio J. Webb, M.D. Dr Webb why do American drs introduce themselves as XY board certified?
Same
This will be me in the future by God’s grace! 🙏
Same here!
Same im 8
Same!!!!
Same and I’m finally getting in the track to be one!! (Hs)
Greetings my colleagues!
Absolutely love her! I’m going back to school right now as an “old” premed with the hopes of one day being an OB-GYN, pediatrician, or anesthesiologist, and she makes a great argument for OB! I love herrrr
Does OB-GYN also clean patients poo? (Just asking) and also can u tell me what type of nurses doesn't need to clean patients poo? No hate or something, i really respect every nurse but i just can do the "cleaning the poo" part and i am in grade 10 right now and has to choose my course for grade 11
@@ritikasadhra8284 I mean surgeons probably don’t have to clean poo. Neither do anesthesiologists because they focus on caring for unconscious patients. Obgyns def have to clean poo since pregnant women often poo during labor
@@ritikasadhra8284 are you asking about nursing or being a physician? those are literally two different things. barely any physicians ever clean poop. nurses in pretty much every specialty will, although there are cna’s and tech’s that do more of it than nurses do. you can be labor and delivery or maternal nursing, where you work for and with ob-gyn. but physicians and nurses are two different things completely. neither is easier, but they’re different . she is a physician, not a nurse.
18:20 This was something the nurse who talked to my mom should of learned. Tell patients with empathy AND proof that they have some sort of cancer. My mom went to an OBGYN and a nurse told her straight up with ZERO proof she had uterine cancer. She broke down in tears and my dad was very upset, it didn't help that his mom recently passed because of cancer. The worst part is that she didn't even have cancer, the nurse also lied to her saying that my mom had many small cysts when in reality she only had one big one. I can't even begin to describe how angry I was when my mom told me after she came back from her checkup. We didn't bother suing or anything but that is absolutely horrible lying to people like that.
She might have had the wrong chart...rare, but can happen. Still, no excuse for her behavior; plus the doctor should have been the one to inform the patient.
Thanks for this I’m currently a 2nd year med student planning to pursue OB/GYN. This was super helpful and interesting🙌🏽😊
Me too!!! I really want to do OBGYN
I'll never understand wanting to look at vaginas for a living...
Congrats
@@cursedcancersurvivor Your perspective is a little bit warped. It's not "wanting to look at vaginas for a living". That's like saying neurosurgeons want to look at cut open heads for a living. Or that police officers want to look at bloodied bodies for a living. Or that fire-fighters want to get trapped into burning buildings for a living. It's not true. It's about being able to aid in the deliverance of new life into the world, and helping young/new parents to feel safe and comfortable as they step into a big part of their life. It's also about providing support for tragedies that may occur at birth. (Also, side-note: by the time you've grown-up and matured, that won't be such a big deal to you. It's not that gross. It's just anatomy.)
Hi!! I just want to ask if what pre-med course did you get?
I'm 13 and live in Arizona. We have to do this thing in Tech class where you start to think more of your future and what you want to be when you're older. Since I was 3, I have always wanted to be a doctor, then when i was around 11 i wanted to be a OBGYN and hopefully I could achieve that goal. 🤗
omg no way! i just turned 14 and i live in arizona! i have to do a tech class too called tlc where we think about our future! i have always wanted to be a doctor too, and around 12 or 11 wanted to be an OB GYN! we are sooooo alike!!
Omg same
You can do it!
Life tip: get all the mentoring during high school and Research the best schools and college majors that will help you become an OBGYN. AND volunteer at a hospital and interview OBGYN's!
@@abigailp.1252 do you have any medical schools that are good cause I'm kinda lost
Same we will soon be the gynaecologists of tomorrow
Hi Dr. Webb. This is the first video that I watched of yours and I just wanted to say that I truly appreciate you taking the time to showcase physicians from different backgrounds and specialties on your channel. As a black woman who is considering entering the medical field, it is very encouraging to see your videos with medical professions of color. Thank you so much and please keep doing what you are doing!!
Thank you! 🙏🏾
I wish I was black! Free college, food, and room & board! Also white liberals who kiss their toes
@@user-wn3xj4kv1i 🤔🤦🏿♀️
Dr. Webb's consistency with these awesome informational pieces is next level! Noticeable improvement in the editing and camera work too, what a gold mine of a channel for anyone interested in a medical career. Thanks Dr. Webb you're the best!
I hope I can become an OBGYN soon! 🙏🏻 Thank you for motivating me!
This is the best "day in the life of an obgyn" video I've found. Thank you so much! You cover everything, and I feel so sure about pursuing this path.
Thank you! This was so necessary for me. Wishing you all the best!
Thank for you this video Dr. Webb (And Dr. Zamora)! This is currently the most appealing practice to me. I just accepted my first position in the class of 2025 and I look forward to my clinical rotations.
Yay!! Finally, I always wanted a Video ob OB-GYN, it's the field I've loved since I was a kid (i know super weird) but now I know exactly what I want to do thanks to this video! (maternal-fetal medicine). Thank you so much, Dr. Webb!
You got this Ashley!! Good luck
Dr Z
Melodie Zamora thank you so much ♥️♥️ and thankful you for the information doctor ♥️
Hi! I've also wanted to do this since I was a kid! I have a few more options of what I want to do, but this may be one of them! Good luck!!
She is so inspiring! I want to go into ob/gyn and really enjoyed this video
Very well spoken individual and incredibly detailed in explaining her practice and the practice of OB-GYN for those interested in the field. When she speaks about delivering her first baby, it reminded me of my twin sister's labor and how the doctor was a resident. I'm sure she (the resident who delivered my sister's baby) must have felt the same (very excited and special!). Cool stuff.
It was the coolest! Now I’ve delivered so many babies in my owns family which is extra extra special. ❤️
Melodie Zamora thank you for sharing your knowledge and experience, Dr. Zamora!
Kudos to all your accomplishments 👏🏾👍🏾Wishing you the most success in your private practice 🙌🏾🙏🏾
I imagine 30-35 patients a day on a 8-5 schedule as she said is a lot. I am a phleb and I see 40-50 in the same amount of time but I don't spend much time with the patients and typically in and out unless they ask questions about there labs in which case I know everything about the test but not always what the doc is looking for in particular as it is not always straight forward, & many test can give a range of possibilities, i.e CMP vs an APTT. It still takes the whole day to see them all, I can't imagine a physician seeing that many patients going over charts and answering all their questions. I imagine it helps being that her patients come to her rooms vs me walking all around a huge hospital. Very neat video although I am going the PA route always love following Doctor Webb and others very inspirational!
Another very intelligent, compassionate female ob/gyn. Glad there are increasing numbers of these smart women taking care of women.
This is the best one yet! Thanks doctor Webb!
Keep up the good work doc, I love these videos
Excellent video, please do a day in a life of a cardiologist!
Excellent video! Thank you so much for creating this content
I am thankful I found this video it gave me great insight of my career field chosen. I am currently attending college to become an OB/GYN. Great video
Thank you so much , you speak so clearly and poise very informational
thank you for the video!! it was very informative!
video production just soared!!
Love your work Doctor, keep it up. How do you stay so consistent in uploads on top of being on call and dealing with your family?
He has a social media manager/videographer. We all could use help. He models that we don’t have to do it all. Love the work he’s doing, too.
Outside filming makes him /them visible in the reflection. See what is not shown.
This is super helpful as im considering med school!!
Obgyn is my dream career I want to pursue,this video gives me much motivation and more knowledge about Obs and gyn,I really love this video❤️❤️❤️
Loved this 😊
I love how much effort you put into all your videos so we have this information. Thank you so much Dr. Webb 🥰 PS: can you please make a video about Cardiovascular pulmonary Perfusionists🙏🏽
Thanks Jennifer! I will look into this
I love this!!❤
Awesome video! Thank you!
This was a really good video she explained a lot about what it takes. Would be nice to see a plastic surgeon do this !!

I love this 🥰 so much Dr Webb how you get people familiar with these different medical fields
Can you do a day in the life of a Cardiothoracic surgeon
I will look into this!
@@antoniowebbmd yes please
@@antoniowebbmd As well as an Neuropathologist
I love seeing how obstetrics work in different countries. Everything that was explained here is what the midwife will do here in the UK unless the woman has a risk factor the MW will do the initial booking/interview all the way through to labour and birth and postnatal until discharge.
So cool...great interview
Excellent!
This will be me in the future I’m so excited :)!! Instead of the Doctor route I want to become an NP.
This was so interesting and informative!
Glad it was helpful!
Love this I just got accepted to med school and I’m ready to go for ob/gyn
thank you so much for this video it was so helpful :)
There's nothing more reassuring than a friendly ob who is there to answer all your questions during pregnancy. Thanks to all the obstetricians out there 🙏
u r so inspiring!!
I love your content doctor. Never stop uploading no matter what. We appreciate your medical content, you keep it real
Thank you! 🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾
So love this video very helpful💯
Thanks Ashea!!!
Thanks! It was awesome being able to let y’all know a little something
I love this! I love that you can use everything that you learned in school.
Currently applying to medical school and I loved this video! I’ve always wanted to be an OB, but lately I’ve seen such negative things about it from other channels or people online and it’s been really disappointing! This was so invigorating and renewed that spark of what drew me to OB/GYN in the first place thank you so much for this vid!
Can we have more obgyn videos !? 😁
I am a stay-at-home mother and love to watch these videos while my baby naps!
Currently pregnant with my second child so this specialty was very interesting to me! 🤗
These videos make me want to become a doctor haha
Awesome! Thanks for watching 😄
Thanks for watching! I hope all is well with your pregnancy ❤️
Very interesting things about obgyn
So impressive! Hi from a fellow obgyn!
i cant wait to be you one day 🥺
Could you please do a day in life of an Internal medicine pediatrics(Med-Peds) doctor, and an allergist/immunologist?
I'm first year resident in gynaecology and obstetrics 😃
I wanna do REI sooooooo bad! I’m so excited! Just finished undergrad
What's up Dr. Webb! Hope all is great! This is an excellent interview with Dr. Zamora! I'm loving this series on Day In The Life of these various physicians! It's always nice to hear about what people do and go through on a daily basis and the work that it takes to become the physicians you showcase and more important, physicians that look like me! I appreciate all that you do for us! As always, be well, be safe and Peace & Blessings

Hi Dr.Webb, I loved this video! I do have a question. I recently completed my Bachelors in May so I am fortunately in a job now where I have health insurance for the first time. Is it typically recommended for women to have both an OBGYN and a Gynecologist for annual visits? I've always been unclear about that. Thanks!
You should only need to see one if you are not currently pregnant. OBGYN Physicians are trained in the practice of Gynecology and Obstetrics. Obstetric visits are for women who are pregnant and need to receive healthcare pertaining to their pregnancy. If you just need an outpatient Gynecology visit, you can see an OBGYN, a Family Medicine doctor, or an Internal Medicine doctor who specializes in women's healthcare. I hope that explanation was helpful :)
OBGYN: stands for obstetrician, gynecologist. So if you're seeing an obgyn you're already seeing a gyno.
Thank you so much for making this content!
It’s very insightful for a prospective med student :)
She is awesome.
This is me 3 years from now!!
Way to go, Dr. Zamora! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
I go to college in a little over a year. I plan to become an Ob/Gyn, what classes should I take in undergrad school?
Hello!! Your video was so informative however I am only a senior in Highschool I am sure I want to become a gynecologist/ ob but have know idea what to major on I was considering premed or public health any recommendations?
My friend just started her residency in OB/GYN at Harbor UCLA. I just completed MS2 and still not sure what I want to specialize in but I’m sure it’s not OB/GYN lol
I wanted to major in sonography in college to be an OB ultrasound tech but I just recently made that decision and my college doesn’t offer sonography 😫😫😫the only thing I can do is a radiologic tech🤦🏾♀️
Change colleges. I have degrees from 3 different colleges and have attended 5 colleges altogether. You can do whatever you put your mind to.
Can you do a day in life of an ophthalmologist
David kas that would be so cool
Yes, please! That’s my career aspiration.
Could you do a day in the life as a forensic pathologist/medical examiner? Thanks! :)
I want to go into OB/GYN in my future but I feel I won't be able to do good:(
You can do literally ANYTHING you put your mind too. I believe in you :)
You got this you can do it!!! The universe believes in you!!! And so do I my love 😍!!
No negative talk. If you put your mind to ot you will do great
You got this !! ☺️☺️👏🏼👏🏼
Hello, is there a tremendous amount of debt after becoming an obgyn or in residency of obygyn?
Can you do a day in life of ophtalmologist or medical rehab pleasee??
Good job
Great video, Would be amazing a video of the life of a pediatric Surgeon.
I’m working on it! I have a meeting with one this week! 😎😎😎
@@antoniowebbmd thanks, you're amazing, I look forward to
We are learning about careers in our class, and I preferably think that i would want to do the same exact thing that you do. I LOVE robotics, math, and science and I consider being an OB-GYN. Furthermore, I would love to work in private practice, and become an advocate for women.
awesome! You can do it!!
Are there any major differences between OBGYN in America and in the UK?
It would. be cool if hospitals had areas where Doctors and their family can hang out and or have fun so that its almost like the Doctors family could be at the hospital with their family.
Hi I have a question is ammex nitrile exam gloves 4 ml thick then for a reproductive endocrinologist to use for an exam because in Mexico they use latex gloves I'm allergic to latex gloves ...
My mom was happy when I said that I want to be a OB-GYN
💚
I'm from the UK and the term 'Board certified' makes me think there are non-cert doctors around? can someone explain please?
Hi, so a medical license does not reflect a doctor’s specialty training; board certification indicates that a doctor has had specific training and experience in a particular specialty. In the Uk, there are specialty examinations that Doctors are required to pass (depending on the specialty they go into). As far as I am concerned, there is no ‘board certification’ in the Uk. After medical school and after fy1 and fy2, you can either choose core training or surgical training and those exams (previously mentioned) take place some time during that training. I may be wrong but I hope that helps!
After completing these stages, essentially you achieve ‘board certification’ (in the Uk)
Hello, I’m currently in college, I want to become OBGYN and psychiatrist. Can I do both in my residency or fellowship ?
Can you touch on the topic and procedure of abortion as an OBGYN?
It would be so cool to see a comprehensive psychiatric private practice that has Ketamine infusion, ECT and TMS. Some even do SPECT, video eeg and biofeedback, I think Dr. Amen clinic does all of that. Not sure though.
It would be super awesome to shadow you !!!
it will never make sense to me why they schedule clinic visits for 10 minutes when they know that they consistently go over and consistently make pts wait.
Yes because doctors are just in their office scratching their heads doing nothing
@@fuckingallthesehoes3295 no it is quite the opposite. they schedule 10 minutes per clinic visit and often double book slots. they are running around like crazy, all bc they overbook themselves.
The goal is to help as many people as possible. My obgyn is usually 10-30 mins late but she always have a smile on her face and never make me feel rushed. Also sometimes patients have a lot of questions or a lot going on so the visit takes longer.
This will be me soon with my own university of care and Dream Team!
I’m currently a doula come check out a day in my life! I love whah I do. ❤️
I’m studying for my MCAT!
good luck!!
@@nyakailee6937 thank you 😊
Wow! I’m a certified Doula. I’m currently at Agnes Scott college.
@@alayshiagrisham453 awesome 👏🏽 ❤️
Hi, what is a doula? Is it for pregnancy?
I would like to know if you get leaves or breaks when you yourself have a baby.
How many hours are you allowed to sleep on your 24 hour days?
Georgetown? Where is that?
Hello!
I just want to know your expert opinion and advice. I am pregnant right now, Is there a possibility that my OB-Gyne Doctor will trace my history of abortion that happened 10 years ago?
Thank you..
I couldn't even get a C in chemistry and here she is. Wow..lol
Man that salary in Austin is true for nursing too 😭😭😭😭
I love OB/GYN, Im hoping to do pediatric gynecology but who knows when I finally get to medical school it may change
In the name of God ✨ this will be me in the future! He will help all of us if we believe in him. Amen!
Amen, amen and amen 🙏🏽
im scared of obgyns but she seems nice
Don’t be scared! Do your research with reviews and I know you will find someone you love.
Dr Zamora
Who's going to say it?
How do people even make an income while in college to do this tho?? Student loans plus bills? I would say u would have to already come from a family with money
Or a great support system 😉
ThatAwesomeGirlNoni a support system with money lmaoo😂
@@dorynemo8938 I feel that. You can have too little but never too much 😉
I’m really interested in Gynecologist but not really Obstetrics, is there a way I could practice only in the gynecology field?
Newborn hospitalist here (subspecialty of pediatrics)- you would do a residency in OB-GYN, but you could limit your practice to office OB/GYN- in other words, not be involved in hospital work at all. You'd be able to do this because there are OB/GYN's who work the flip side- they only practice in the hospital. I have an analogous practice- I only see newborns in the hospital and attend high risk deliveries; I don't see patients in an outside office.
Some of the OB/GYN's that I see also have an outside office practice, but I'm in a large hospital so there are always OB/GYN hospitalists (often called laborists) who only care for laboring women, pregnant women who are hospitalized with obstetrical problems (threatened preterm labor, glucose control for gestational diabetes, etc), and who attend the vaginal and C/section deliveries of patients whose doctors don't come to the hospital. There are definitely several OB/GYN's where I work who only see OB patients in the office, who refer them to our hospital to be delivered by one of the laborists (who work 24 hr shifts, so there is always one available). Medical practice is seeing more and more of this dichotomy: the days of doing it all, of seeing patients in the office and also taking care of hospitalized patients is more and more uncommon. There are more and more office doctors, and hospitalists.
I'm not sure if you could limit your practice to only GYN (unless you were in a subspecialty, such as fertility, pediatric GYN, or GYN oncology), but, in a large enough practice this might not be out of the question. Most office-based OB/GYN's see both pregnant and non-pregnant patients.
When you finish residency, you can tailor your practice to gynecology.
Does Dr. Zamora employ Ob-Gyn PA's in her practice? If so, can you or she expand on what the scope of practice is for OB-Gyn PA in her practice? Thank you in advance for the earliest reply.
No, they don’t. I work with this group. However, some OB/Gyn groups employ CNMs (certified nurse midwives). We don’t see PAs in this field, at least here in this state and probably country. The babies are also seen by Nurse Practitioners, Neonatologists, and pediatricians in the hospital. PAs can work at a pediatric clinic though.
TubnQT i’m not sure about other states but in ny, there are a number of OB-GYN PAs
@@arnelleprophete9886 Great, thanks for the intel.
@@TubnQT Thank you.
This woman is AWESOME. I WANT HER TO BE MY Dr oh yeah?.I'm a man!
