It was my dream to become a medical student. But then my dad got sick with Parkinson’s disease and dementia. I helped my mom take care of him for many years. Now that my mom’s alone and dependent on me, I feel it’s much harder for me to go back to pick up my studies. ☹️
Well.. let me tell u my story...
Since I was born both my parents had a heart disease and went through multiple surgeries and were on medications for life...
When I was 10 I started having severe symptoms of a gastroenterologic disease, which wasn't diagnosed and treated until 6 years later (Crohn's disease)
Treatment did't work so I had to go through multiple surgeries...
At the time I was very sick that I couldn't go to school & I was stuck at second year of high school for 3 years...
& when I finally managed to finish high school my disease worsened again & had to stop my studies again for 2 years until I had another surgery this time removing my entire colon... this was 4 years ago...
Now I am a 4th year medical student with good grades & I'm thinking about choosing neurology as my future specialty...
Things might seem impossible if you look at them from the outside... but when you stop thinking and start working, this is when you realize that everything is possible...

I’m so sorry. 🫂☹️
For American students, getting into medical school is the hard part. For international medical graduates, usmle journey & getting residency is the challenging part. After getting the residency, it's all smooth and flows well into workflow from then on out.
It's great to know that. I'm Brazilian, in my third year of medical school and I have a dream of studying at Mayo Clinic! I hope I can make it happen. I believe it will be a long journey to get into the neurology residency, but I also believe that nothing is impossible. Thank you for your comment, all the best to you!
@@Pedroaguillar Thanks! All the best to you too!
Loved this! Thank you for the video
SUPER GREAT VIDEO! THANKS FOR EVERYTHING! YOUR PERSONALITY IS SO CALMING. GREAT ATTRIBUTE FOR DEALING WITH PEOPLE. YOUR DOG IS SO INCREDIBLY CUTE; HEART MELTING!! THANK YOU AGAIN AND GOD BLESS
Believe it or not, watching this almost made me cry. The neurology department at the Mayo Clinic as well as the Hospital probably saved my life.
I’ll try to be as short as possible. It’s hard because my entire medical history reads like a book, but I had a tonic clonic (Grand Mal) seizure on September 27th 2017 and was taken to a large hospital in St. Paul, MN. I had another one two days later while still in the hospital. They actually had to call a Code Blue on me during that one, so my heart stopped and I had to be resuscitated. Believe it or not, even though this is a large hospital in St. Paul, they don’t have a full time neurologist on staff, so I would only see the neurologist once, or twice a week for maybe thirty minutes and frankly nobody there had any idea what they were doing. They had me on all kinds of incorrect medication, two of which I learned that I’m VERY much allergic to. I basically went crazy there. I tried to escape from the hospital multiple times, I fought with the staff and security guards (and I’m not the kind of guy who fights at all), they had to inject me with Haldol, which is usually used on patients who are just crazed out of their minds and it knocked me out for a couple days. They had to restrain both my arms and my legs to the bed. Finally a couple nurses pulled my parents aside and told them that they needed to get me me down to Mayo right away. They said that they just didn’t have the capability to handle me and I was close to being put in the psych ward. The thing is that the reason I was acting so crazy was partly because of the medication they were giving me.
Anyway, I did get transferred to Mayo and apparently had another incident in the ambulance on the ride down so they gave me some more Haldol, but I remember waking up at the Mayo and there were 6 doctors all in suits standing at the foot of my bed and they said “Hi, we’re your team.” After that I probably saw one of those 6 doctors every 3-4 hours. I was still having major problems and actually don’t remember a lot of my time there, but I do remember some. I’m very familiar with the Domitilla Building. I believe I spent my time on floor 2. I was also given PCA’s (Patient Care Assistants) to watch over me. Three different people that worked 8 hour shifts. All they did was sit next to me and make sure I didn’t do anything stupid or probably if I had a seizure it was their job to call for help. I became very close with the man who worked the 11 pm to 7 am shift. He was a truly kind person who really helped me through the lowest point of my life. I owe him a lot.
This didn’t end up very short, so I’m sorry about that, but ultimately I was diagnosed with autoimmune encephalitis. I was discharged and had to move back in with my parents. I still wasn’t in any condition to take care of myself. I was still having a lot of problems. After many trials and errors my neurologist eventually did find a cocktail of drugs that worked though and, except for the occasional blip every now and then, as long as I take my medication, I think I’m basically pretty much normal and have been for probably the last 3 years or so. I moved to Florida about a year and a half ago and am very happy. But honestly, I wouldn’t wish what I went through on my worst enemy. I felt like was in hell most of the time. I believe all told I spent about 3 months at the Mayo Clinic hospital and then had numerous subsequent tests at the clinic in the neurology department.
Thank you for sharing your story, I'm very glad you're doing better, and thanks to all the staff at the Mayo clinic! God bless!
You have a very great way to tell a story... It definitely was more than that for you to go through all of this, but you ultimately withstood all of these difficulties. I hope you keep on getting better Matt!
I'm curious if you have ever heard about Susannah Cahalan and her story "Brain on Fire"? Throughout your story I felt like there was so much resemblance to her story... and it immediately clicked when I read "Autoimmune Encephalitis" (although it's rather an umbrella and not a single entity).. by the way let me tell you: If you also decide to write a story, with this kind of narration, I bet you can also make it a bestseller!
Keep doing well Matt!
@@Baraa.K.Mohammad Thanks. Yes, I do know about Susannah Callahan. I watched the movie, which actually wasn’t very good in my opinion, but I did read Susannah’s book.
And actually when I said autoimmune encephalitis, it turns out that the Mayo Clinic actually did end up ultimately diagnosing me with autoimmune anti-NMDA encephalitis, which was the same thing she had. However, we were different in some way. First of all I never got to the point where I couldn’t walk or speak, so her ending symptoms ended up being worse, but I acted just like she did at the beginning. After I was released from the hospital I continued to have seizure after seizure and I still have epilepsy to this day and will for the rest of my life. To my knowledge, she was basically completely cured.
During my whole ordeal, there were certain things that I have absolutely no recollection of, some things were kind of like a dream and others I remember vividly. One thing I vividly remember during my stay at the Mayo was going into an office and then a doctor came in and asked me to draw a clock. I drew it properly and then he promptly left the office. If you remember anything about Susannah, she drew a clock with all the numbers on the right side. That’s how the one doctor figured out how to cure her. By 2017 had I drew a clock like that, they would have known I had what she had and they could have easily fixed me, but apparently I had something similar but different. So, looking back I sure wish I drew that clock incorrectly. 😀
I'm a medical student here in China, at Fudan University……, really admire your life there in Mayo……
That's pretty cool! We may be in different countries, but med school is the same struggle everywhere. Keep up the good work, dude!
Fudan is better than Mayonese clinic
Does UA-cam work in china
@@tejassm83 it works illegally…
future neurologist here !! thankful for the content
I finished my final year of residency in Neurology not long ago. I love teaching the other residents. Feels like yesterday I was at my white coat ceremony. Congratulations! 🧠 🥼
Coffee pouring sounds just make me very happy.
I've had 10 surgeries at Mayo clinic, they are the best in the world. Much respect to everyone at MC. From Tulsa Oklahoma USA 🇺🇸 💯👍🙂
I am a Brazilian and a medical student at the University of Salamanca. The first dream I have already achieved. Now the big leap is missing: to be accepted as a resident doctor in Neurosurgery at Mayo.❤
WITH GOD, ALL THINGS ARE POSSIBLE. DON'T TRY TO FIGURE IT OUT! THAT'S GOD'S JOB. JUST KEEP THE FAITH AND DO YOUR BEST! GOD IS SO SWEET. HE WORKS IN MYSTERIOUS WAYS! JUST ENJOY THE JOURNEY! BEST WISHES TO YOU AND YOUR SUCCESS. BIG CONGRATULATIONS AS A MEDICAL STUDENT!!!
@@ChristianListener Thank you very much for the beautiful words. May you be right.
Is that your real picture?
good luck brudda
great job
The Dr's and Nurses at Mayo were more calm and condescending than what I'm accustomed to, which contributed to a speedy recovery and a deep feeling of personal inadequacy. Thanks Mayo! 🙏
What a productive day good luck
Hope all of u achieve ur dreams
future neurology resident here!
Don't bother! Nobody trust mayo after pushing the clot shot, with no liabilities! They lost over a billion in its first quarter! I will never go there again!
I'm thinking about going into this
I just did a month of neurology as in an off service resident and our team was faaaar more smaller. It consisted of PGY1 IM resident, PGY5 Neurology resident, the attending and me. it was quite busy as I was seeing at least two consults a day let alone the follow ups. However, neurology wasn't an admitting service so GIM usually the team who dose admission, orders and discharges 😂😂
Inshallah one day i will be a honoured neurologist working in mayo clinic AMEEN
Just completing MS-1 and so far Neurology is one of those subjects I wake up study and I find myself lost in the best way. Digging to find more information, just a fascinating field. I hope to see this comment 3 years from now and reply that I matched into Neurology (maybe into a great program like Mayo 🤔 😊)
heyy, are you still pursuing neurology?
@@tttfff1003 Over my time in medical school I have decided to match with Family Medicine but my interests in Neurology are still very much there.
@@edwinshumaker5849 that's amazing! family medicine is an amazing and heartwarming specialty.
I’m looking into going into school for neurology aswell. Any specific classes I should take?
Hey! Is the food free during the lunch?
Future neurologist here as well!
See someone with a positional headache? Think CSF leak (cerebrospinal fluid leak). I just got diagnosed and can't tell you how many Dr's I had to literally convince to get an MRI done. It showed the classic signs of intercranial hypotension such as enhancement of the meninges and brain sag. Was given an epidural blood patch and am in recovery seeing if it will help. Please become more aware of the issue of CSF leaks, either spontaneous or due to dual tears from lumber punctures as the suffering is off the charts and you really may save someone's life. Its a great subject.
Omg your dog is 😍
I always thought neurology was under internal medicine. I didn't know it was a separate speciality
You get up at 5.30. how many hours do you sleep a day

Mam what a document need to got a job in mayo clinic
Good evening madam, can you make sanitary work video how to cleaning in Mayo clinic hospital please.
I'm coming mayo clinic as a patient from Pakistan for 1 week can u tell me I book hotel room or staying at mayo clinic
Hi. I have been feeling symptoms for a couple of years Brain feel like it foggy all the time. I've been to many doctors and 3 ER visits as of late. No one can find anything wrong with me, but they all say anxiety which i think it's more than that. I get twitching right eyes and shortness of breath. I have passed out twice which prompted 3 visit. I have heart palpations. Now all of this happens for about 2 months but then it and is still ongoing
Now im worried again cause last night as i was trying to go asleep it felt like my brain shut off, kinda like i wasn't there for a second. For like 3 days now i have been feeling like a pass out feeling but havent passed out and now last night that wierd brain thing happened. I have got these feelings of passing out during the years ive been feeling symptoms and they last for about a week then i will bounce back but never had what happened last night. What could this be?? I have had my blood taken also ct scans of my brain, chest and heart scan and everything they say is normal. I dont feel normal at all now for 2 years. Ive taken so many test and seen like 4 different regular doctors but never they refered me to a neuro. Now i have no insurance to go to doc and check cause the price went up. Any thought on what could be wrong with me would be doing help. I just want my young life back as im only 38 years old and was very athletic before all of this.
Thank you for your time
James
@James Glover Sorry to hear. I was 37 when I had my life changing event. I’m also sorry I can’t be of more help, but all I can say is that I really recommend that you figure out some way to see a neurologist. What you describe really doesn’t sound at all like anxiety. Blood tests can only show so much and CT scans are also fairly limited too. An MRI would show much more.
@@Whoopdido777 Thank you very much.
@@jamesglover9668 Ya know I read your post again and it got me thinking. You might actually be having seizures. I’m not talking about tonic clonic (Grand Mal) seizures where you fall down and start stiffening up or twitching. There are actually something like 40 different types of seizures. I’m not sure if you read my long post or not, but I’ve had many different types of seizures since I contracted that autoimmune encephalitis disease. Actually it was autoimmune anti NMDA encephalitis. Only 1 in 1.5 million people get it per year. Anyway, I hadn’t had any incidents in quite a long time, but just on May 30th, completely out of nowhere while I was sitting on the couch watching TV, my brain started to feel foggy, I got a little light headed and my heart started to race. I stayed conscious the whole time and the entire event lasted about a minute. But I’ve had other seizures where the left side of my body will go numb. Another one will just be a fast heartbeat. I’ve had staring spells. That means that I actually do lose consciousness and I basically just stare off into nothingness and can’t remember anything about it. I actually have to be told that it happened. I’ve also had deja vu. And then sometimes I just had feelings that were pretty much impossible to describe. All I could say was that I felt weird. Describing what a seizure feels like to somebody who has never had one is pretty much impossible. The final thing I’m going to say is that I don’t like to hear that you passed out. That can be dangerous because you never know where you might be when you pass out. I guess I’m just going to suggest once again to somehow figure out how to see a neurologist. Good luck.
@@Whoopdido777Thank you very much. Yes, I'm fallowing up with my PCP. I don't get to see him till next month with my MRI results and heart Montor results. I'm just afraid like all other hospital visits they tell me nothing is wrong with me, or the cant find anything.
@@jamesglover9668 Yeah I understand what you mean. That’s pretty much what happened to me too. The first hospital I went to was completely incompetent. Then I was transferred to Mayo and had exceptional care there and they did test after test…they even did two separate lumbar punctures. MRI’s, CT scans, PET scans, constant blood tests and everything came back normal. I think it was at that point when they started to think it was an autoimmune issue.
How many hours do neurology residents work?
Goog for you
Please tell me someone lets your dog out during the day
Hello mam I am from Pakistan🇵🇰 My brother is suffering from left head pain . I have his MRI and city scan. His age is 26 but any doctor don't give me proper solution. Can you help me in this matter?
Future neurologist here 👋
Duration of residency 5 years ?
It’s 4 years. However year 1 is a prelim year In which you do internal medicine. So 1 year IM and then 3 of neurology.
@@ajmalbaray thank you sir
In Indonesia, we dont get paid during residency for 4 years
That's terrible. How are you supposed to take care of your personal expenses then?
@@adjeiboateng6720 Only people with wealthy parents can afford to continue their residency in Indonesia. If you're poor, you just have to accept that you'll remain a general practitioner forever. We rely on our parents' support until we're 35 years old. Just ask the local government about it. I really don't know why this is happening. It's frustrating that we have to pay the university instead of getting paid ourselves. During residency, we're often pressured by our seniors to buy things, and sometimes we even face physical and mental bullying. It's like we're forced to do things unrelated to our duties and learning. Do you work in the media? Please highlight this issue so we can bring about change in our country. Our country would be embarrassed if our bad deeds were told by foreign media.
@@adjeiboateng6720 Becoming a general practitioner in Indonesia, the consultation fee per patient is only $0.36. Your pay for a 12-hour shift is only $17. To earn $100 in a day, imagine how many patients we have to serve each day. And on average, general practitioners earn less than $70 in daily income. We have a very poor insurance payment system.

@@febriardi2936 I don't work in the media but this has to go out for the world to see.
Is there any Neurologist? Want to discuss something.
You didn't give us an idea of the kind of patients you see
That can get so tricky with HIPAA. This was a great overview of the flow of general neurology & team members.
Peace be upon you. I have a rise in tryptophan 14 and sometimes a decrease in the temperature of 34My blood pressure drops to 80-40, especially when sitting and lying down and I have a pulse of up to 200 and the hands and feet are constantly cold even in the summer and sometimes very excessive activity and longevity with a greater percentage of lethargy and general fatigue and I did an atomic scan on the body and Magnetic resonance imaging of the brain, EEG, prolonged EEG, Holter 24 hours, tablet test, CT scan of the chest, Echo, EKG, blood picture, sodium, potassium, magnesium, cortisol stimulator, aldesterone, Free T3, Free T4, Parotheroid hormone, ACTH, TSH, and immunoassays for ANA, C3, C4, and IGe, and no one knows whether they are rare syndromes in the body of certain acids, neurotransmitters or enzymes. I do not know. Please help and thank you very much.
And sometimes automatically I bring back my memories of 25 years ago and I am 28 and they come up with major events and when I remember that they come right after every two minutes and sometimes I arrange the events again and say this is the last time but I can't and I remember the same I apologize to you that I did not have the honor to meet you and wrote you. I accidentally saw your lecture on UA-cam because I am from Egypt and there is no doctor who knows me who can diagnose me and I do not leave the house at all except on an emergency basis and they cannot diagnose and only stress reasons and even at home I am sick and I do not sleep because of that When I sit or sleep in a lying position, the pressure drops suddenly 40 degrees frequently and every day I have been like this for 3 years and the first two years I used to work and resist, but now the fatigue has increased very much and I cannot sleep from the low pressure and 3 times I wake up more than 7 days and I do not know What's wrong with me, thank you and I'm sorry again, thank you I do not have any skin problems to indicate that it is Hartnapp syndrome, and I do not have metabolic syndrome since childhood, so it indicates that. I read a lot. Is it possible for mutations to occur in the growth of any cells, whether cells in the abdomen or brain, and cause this problem and is it high tryptophan in urine And the body does not benefit from it and its enzyme does not convert it into vitamins or into synapses and turns into serotonin, or is it high in urine and transforms in the brain in abundance and produces serotonin in abundance. From reading, serotonin mostly increases pressure, constricts blood vessels, and heats up the body, and my temperature drops to 34 in the summer at all, but not frequently. Is it a neurotransmitter and acids related to tryptophan?
i hope you're better now
Any updates?

Then the hospital tried to claim I had the damage prior when i didnt and I had a full vision test prior to surgery as well as videos and photos on the day of surgery. So liars too ! 😢

Hello
do u need to take neurology before going into meurosurgery?
its one or the other
No you have to pick between neurosurgery and neurology
They are different residencies
@@avichal6630 thank you very much chris griffin
Hi! I'm from the Philippines and right now I'm experiencing the sound in my skull when I chew food what is this? I'm afraid 😭 💀
It may be your temporomandibular joint. It may also cause pain while chewing. But obviously consulting your doctor is the best option to know what is happening

Hello mam
Don’t leave your dog alone all day.
shutup
Hey..didn't know where else to ask...I know someone who has severe OCD and I promised them to ask around on UA-cam. This person got tested for COVID19 through the nose and one of her obsessive thoughts is, that they might have a chip in their brain now, which one day might be activated and make them do stuff they doesn't want to do. So the question is: is it physically possible to put a microscopically small chip through the nose into someone's brain, specifically to a place that would make sense to "control" someone's behaviour? And would it even be possible to control someone's mind, from a scientific point of view??? I know this sounds strange and weird but that's just how these obsessive thoughts work I guess. Hope you see this and maybe give me an answer so I can maybe reassure this person with OCD that there's nothing to worry about. Thanks a lot and keep up the good work 👍
I think you know the answer is no, mind control chips are not a thing yet. There is a part of your skull going in between your nose and brain, the stick would have hit the bone. You have seen how bendy and soft the sticks are, there is no way for a stick like to be able to be forced through the brain. Also, the brain is too complicated, one location doesn't control everything a person does. There are so many different regions for different things, there is not one location which is the central hub for the brain.
There is nothing to worry about. Not only does that technology not exist, just tell your friend this. Why would they spend $1000 on a chip to put in with a free test? Remember, we live in a for profit medical system, they wouldn't do anything to you that wouldn't make $$$
