This is honestly what I needed. I want to be a neurosurgeon and lately I have been slacking in my pursuit of it. Can’t stop the grind. Y’all pray for me!
Thanks for posting Dr. Webb! I am an aspiring neurosurgeon and was waiting for more neuro content. People always try to use the length of practice required to become a neurosurgeon and the fact that I am non-traditional (26 years old) to deter me, but like she said; it requires a lot of patience. To me my dream is worth 13 more years of school + residency. Hell, if it took me 20 I'd still go for it.
@@negotiv some people find happiness and satisfaction in persuing their desired career as a neurosurgeon. some people find it in becoming an actor and acting in big hollywood movies. its different for everybody and NOT a waste of time if you truly enjoy it bro
I remember when my brother got his medical degree and now he’s a neurosurgeon. Me watching him study to achieve this goal was hard so I can imagine the amount of commitment and patience needed to accomplish such a goal. Well done to everyone in medicine the world is in your hands :)
This is what we need. Many times if we don't see it, most likely we wont achieve it. Even if we dont go on to be a doctor this motivates me to be great in other fields..
The dedication and loyalty to your desire to become a doctor and then specialize is above and beyond call. It’s a grind and, one must possess the kind of ability intellectually to get it done...over years of delayed gratification. An amazing journey. Thanks for the video.
i’ve always wanted to be a neurosurgeon but always been scared that i wouldn’t be able to have a normal social life, refreshing to hear she could balance her marriage and work
I’m medical student and I’m considering Neurosurg. It is very competitive and I’m second guessing myself. I hope to figure out soon. Thanks for this video. Good luck
Don't second guess yourself that's where u get into your own head and u don't end up following your dreams know that u are capable, sending all my prayers to you 🙏❤️
Thank you so much Dr. Webb for this video! I’ve wanted to be a neurosurgeon since middle school, but the closer I get to med school, the more unsure I become because of the work-life balance and being able to have a family and so on. This video put a new fire in me to pursue my passion. Thank you Dr. Ross for your insight!!!!
Josphelli hsilak thanks for asking! It’s a specialty in neurosurgery that deals with pain disorders associated with the CNS, movement disorders associated with the CNS, and epilepsy (most popular)! A new and common procedure functional neurosurgeons perform is a deep brain stimulation (DBS) which made me what to specialize in this field!
Super proud of you, I’m 16 and it’s my dream to become a neurosurgeon and seeing black women like myself achieving such challenging goals is inspiring. I’m routing for you😍😍😍
Thank you Dr Webb and Dr Ross for doing this interview and letting our new generation see that it is possible to have that dream of becoming a doctor. To all you future students that are thinking about this field please don't let go of your dreams no matter what.
I want to become a Cardiothoracic and Trauma surgeon, but this has inspired to continue pursuing that career. So good to see a black woman in such a complex field.
Long journey. Mad respect for those that stick to it. I am an OR nurse and happy where I am at. I cannot imagine the legal liability and responsibility of a physician.
Hey Dr. Webb! Thank you once again for another awesome showcase! You and Dr. Ross are truly an inspiration to us all and I'm talking black people specifically. My uncle is a now retired Airforce Colonel and Cardiothoracic surgeon and he was my hero for a long time as a kid. I wanted to be a doctor for sure when I was a kid, I later went on to become and engineer but my point is that I thank you for providing young folks a platform where they can see people that look like them doing what may have been told to them that was impossible for them to achieve. So I salute you and Dr. Ross for showing us that you can do anything you put your mind to! As usual, be well, be safe and Peace & Blessings
Thank you for the video. I was just talking the other day with my friend that I would love to see more female black doctors who are surgeons and also have a family. Thank you !
I just looked her up. She went to Stanford ! , She's Black, She went to STANFORD, She pursued a STEM major in 2004 (Biological Sciences), then she went to Med School, pursued Neurosurgery of all fields, then she became a Chief Resident at Cedars fucking Sinai (one of the best hospitals in the country). She has a kid and probably a crazy schedule. When people give excuses as to what held them back, I understand, but I don't. Look at the video, she says that she did fail along the way, but doesn't take no for an answer. U can achieve anything you want, anything. !
Currently on track to get my MBBS, and seeing a black woman in the field I am pursuing is sooo motivating, i never expected to feel this way before watching this
Antonio J. Webb, M.D. i hope to one day be a doctor like yourself, most likely a GP with an emphasis on functional medicine, not a spinal surgeon like yourself (that’s impressive). Blessings 🙏.
If we need them we would not want it any other way. They should excel beyond to give us possible hope when neurologically impaired. Thank you for your dedication to service.
Love your channel. I appreciate the positive and accurate message you are spreading about medicine as a career. Very honest and informative videos. Dr. Ross was outstanding and a very positive role model. This video also highlights the importance of diversity and inclusion in medicine, I am a anesthesiologist and this info was spot on. Best of luck with the channel. God bless you both. 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
Hello dr, can you also make videos on foreigners coming to us to work as a doctor? I know about the usmle steps but they say the matching process is very hard especially for people from some particular regions. I am hearing a lot of things an would love to know the reality. Thank you very much! 😊
In my country Papua New Guinea, there's only ONE national female neurosurgeon. I'm working on becoming the 2nd. Love to see it! Since it is a male dominated field.
I'm 13 set to graduate in 5 years. I'll have two years of college done so then 2 more years of undergraduate and then I could apply for med school by time I'm 21. At least I think I could. And then after 4 years of med school, only 7 more years of residency and then 1 or 2 years of fellowship.
Alhumdulillah I'm a 3rd year MBBS student from my beloved country,Bangladesh,now. In Shaa Allah one day I'll come to this comment section to edit my comment, " Alhumdulillah,by the grace of Allah SWT,now I have become a neurosurgeon,which is my long time cherished dream,a dream since childhood 😊" Amern.
Congrats Doctor on getting a Medical Degree in Neurosurgery. It has taken a long time to get to that level. I guess that US Citizens are more prone to be accepted than those of us who live outside the North American Continent.
Actually being a neurosurgeon is my dream but i always think that i cant be one because the grades that i get always makes me loose hope i always feel like being a neurosurgeon isnt my thing sometimes i always think of giving up on being a neurosurgeon but i just keep on trying
okay so question for anyone who may see this: how would one go about this being at like the very bottom of the line, like graduated high school without going to college just yet. How would I go about going into becoming a surgeon and possibly neurosurgery?
Hi. I’m debating between Neuropsychology (PhD) and Neurology (MD/OD). I did not prepare my whole life for this. I did not no this is something I wanted until recently. I will actually start my MSc in Cognition and Neuroscience next semester. I’m hoping this degree will help me decide. Is it too late for me? I’m 23-24 with a BS in Speech and Language Pathology. (Not necessarily surgery, just neurology in general)
Hey do some of y’all on the medical path encounter people that don’t like you because of your potential? It seems like a lot of people are hostile towards me on my path these days. Just want to hear some comments on this...
Bro, pleas take a moment to hear my situation. Living here in San Antonio, had partial discectomy and party lamenectomy at l5, s1 with a 4.6 Cm herniated disc. Now I have issues at c,3 to c5.same here it's herniated again. Should I lose weight and strengthen my core and buttocks before having my second round of surgery, so at least I would have developed muscle memory? Are there such things as artificial discs? I have to take a benzo that is medically necessary, and I'm in so much effin pain, I can't sleep. Would you take a peek at my Case and give me some advise on what to do? Im only 29 from Sam Antonio. First pain Dr just pumped me full of drugs for years. Finally had surgery and everything was great, then it hit me again in two spots. My mom is going through chemo and I can empathize the unbearable feeling of un-escapable pain. I'm so full of life, hope and dreams, but it the first pain doctor 3 years to recommend my for surgery for a 4.6 CM herniation at l4-s1. Use me as a case study anonymously. Others shouldnt suffer as I said.
