My Biggest Regrets in Becoming a Doctor
Вставка
- Опубліковано 18 лют 2021
- I worked hard for years to get into medical school. When we sacrifice a lot of our time and energy into a goal, we feel pressured to seek perfection and make it count. I had gotten so wrapped up in trying to stand out and ace my classes that I’d lost sight of things that actually brought me happiness and gave me purpose. This is my reflection.

This style was a little different, and came from the heart. What do you think?
We need to reframe what success means. It’s not about working yourself like a dog, its about having awesome experiences and friendships
Anyone reading this know that Jesus Christ loves you and he wants to form a wonderful relationship with you and trust me it is the most beautiful thing you will ever experience in your entire life. So please give him a chance because what do you have to lose. Also, go to God bc he is coming back and when he does if you are not save and have repented then you could go to hell to be tortured in eternal fire. God doesn't want that. Please seek God I beg you from the bottom of my heart before it is too late.😊
This was a touching story Matty, a surgeon told me the other week "as a surgeon these complex procedures seem very basic/mundane, but for the patient it's hopefully the first and last time they go through something so big and traumatising, it's easy to get lost as a clinician and think about these procedures as tick boxes but it's super important to take a moment and just talk to the patient and really give them your all in the moment" and I think this is something that I applied to a similar context to you, instead of just going for tick boxes and getting stuff signed off, it really pays off to just put patients first and give them your all!
My parents are forcing me to become a doctor, although I do want to be one. I’m scared that I would forget what I love the most and what makes me happy. This just made my head more clearer to not be so caught up in work and think about life more. Thank you ❤️
Omg this is what I’m going thru right now! I chose nursing because I wanna be able to enjoy my life with my kids. I don’t wanna be rich and or drive a fancy car. All I want to do is spend time with my” family”(kids)and travel and live just comfortably. I’m glad I didn’t chose to be a doctor. I’m currently working in a nursing home and I see how easy life slips away. My parents wanted me to become a doctor and of course they look down on me for being just “nurse “but in my head I say it’s my life and I do as I please. Yes I’m a rebel in my family the black sheep. I stand up for my self and I’m okay with being looking down on, it’s my life my mental health. If they want a doctor then they should do it. Yes my family hates me because I stand my ground. Life is about making your self happy not others.
Important to note that's not discussed is a fairly high suicide rate with MD"s, Dentists,....why? The stress is unbearable with killer schedules and study routines in the prime of your life with absolutely no social life leaving me incredibly exhausted, depressed, loss of self esteem etc etc. I left also after 2 years and best .ove I've made. Good luck
Going to med school is Highly expensive and it takes year to finish med school then get a residency rightfully so because being a doctor is a serious job that not just anybody can do, but before you go to med school ask yourself Is it what you really want? And is it worth it, if you want to be a doctor for the money you won't be happy, I wanted to be a doctor but after seeing how hard it's gonna be I'm starting to have second thoughts.
I am a first year med school and I always put in the past work above everything. I sacrificed my health,my time spend family, my time spend with friends, hobbies... everything. I am bored and fed up of memorizing. I don't know how to break this cycle taking into consideration that despite all my effort I am in a situation I'm failing my exams... I am wasting my life...
as a pharmacy school dropout, I think switching to Computer science was the best choice for me, I just want flexibility to enjoy my life, not be a slave to impress and satisfy my never satisfied parents lmao
It is so damn true about what he mentioned. Personal life matters! My cousin, she is a surgent by design. Since we are Asian, her family "brainwash" her that "saving people's life" is the highest form of success in life and nothing else can beat that. She is rarely at home and she even rent and stay in a small room located a few hundreds meters away from hospital she is working so she can easily commute. Her parents stay alone by themselves and only exchange updates through phone calls daily. Every Lunar New Year, during family reunion, the awkwardness is through the roof. On the dinning table, the only topic can talk is about doctor topics and report her achievements. The conversation momentum die down really quick as if like inviting a noble stranger into family reunion and we cannot talk something humor/dumb because we don't want to be looked like idiots.
I've finally found my most favourite med UA-cam channel. I don't even study medicine nor am I from America, but some of these channels make me feel pressured that I'm not doing enough. You guys have a really nice approach to life and career. Thank you!
This opened my eyes. Although I'm new to this Medical field, I can feel the pressure already. Thank you for this video it helped me realize again why I want to be in med school not for grades only but to become a Good Doctor ☺️
I'm an Architecture student totally different from med schools but i really learned a lot from this video
I really enjoyed it thank you! We are so caught up in the future that we forget the moments we are living right now and how we can quit this earth at anytime .
A premed student here! I think this is my third time watching this video - and the third time really hit me and allowed me to pause and reflect on those three questions in the last few seconds of this video. Thank you for the vulnerability and for trying a new concept in your channel, really loved it. 🙌🏻💯
Yes Dr Matty, its just natural having that kind of feeling.. for a patient.. but at the end of the day, youre on your feet again.. and the world is proud of you.. 😊
Damn. This made me cry. I appreciate you making this and showing a vulnerable side, different from your other content.
This was so touching and inspiring ! thank you so much for sharing it Matty ! your words & the story you shared will definetely be a wise reminder for me whenever i need it =)
This video provided me the therapy I REALLY needed today. Thanks, Matty. I like the pause before the end, whether intentional or not...it put me to action and I began to reflect and write some stuff. I feel good..thanks again. MORE of these? :)
