WORK LIFE BALANCE as a Doctor
Вставка
- Опубліковано 11 лип 2024
- Medicine is the most fulfilling career (obviously bias coming form a doctor) but there is more to life than just medicine and medical training. Today, I talk about finding balance in your life. Whether that be relationships, children, passion, or travel. Still have all these things be a huge player in your life while being a doctor.

Why did this video make me emotional as heck. 🥺
Miss you! Hope surgery rotation is going well
Omg I follow Rachel as well, also KianMDVlog, I am currently going to school to become a Clinical Laboratory Scientist but I REALLY want to be a ER Physician and all of you ladies inspire me to pursue my dreams in helping others and I think I might go for it😊
Always been impressed with how Stan stepped up by being primary care taker to Wyatt early on. He is a good dad.
He’s a natural
Incoming med student, non-trad & really wanting a large family. Im so conflicted because Im not sure when the “best” time is in training & Im actively aware Im aging with each day that passes. Your video really helped calm my nerves and hesitancy going in to medicine. Ive been following you for years & always enjoy your content :) thank you Dr. Le!
That’s amazing! Congrats on medical school. So many people grow families during medical training - you can do it 💪🏽
Thank you for this. I don’t know if you’re a Christian or not, but I’ve been very stressed about this topic lately (mainly because I see so many Christian women online tell young women that it is wrong for us to have a career at all. Or any specialty outside of our home and children). I know that Christ loves me and I love him 💯, but I don’t think he would have bestowed a gift upon me that increases my understanding of biology and science if he didn’t want me to utilize that gift. I just think it’s wrong that so many Christians are telling women this. I absolutely agree with your style of balance though! I do think your home and children should come first most definitely. When I become a doctor, I will work part time as well. I don’t think it’s wrong to pursue what you’ve always wanted to be since you were little. I was running around pretending to be a doctor at 3! Thank you for your channel, you have encouraged me you just don’t know how much ! God bless you ❤️
I needed this a lot right now. My husband just started M3 year and he is super busy so far. I have been dying to start our family and have children, but he feels that its just not possible with his schedule, which means it wont be for at least another 5 years (he wants to do family medicine as well). I am older than he is and I am really scared that by the time he feels like he has time, that I wont be able to have children. Obviously I understand his worries as well and so we just have to work together to find the right time for both of us. It is very clear that you are a hard working professional AND a super mom, so it gives me hope that it can be done!
Many many more men grow their families in residency. Definitely conversation you would need to have. Wishing you all the best!
I heard 4th year is a good time to have children. 4 years can be hard on the fertility window. I think if you talk about how willing you are to be the primary caretaker in the next 4 years of his training he might see the benefit of starting earlier.
I really appreciate this video because my life is thinking about wedding and children. Your video shows that you can have a nice marriage with someone non health professionnal.
Thank you ❤️
Takes lots of work and communication. But 100% possible
thank you for sharing!! looking forward for more and stay safe💛
Always love your videos and this one is no exception. Thank you for spending your time making these videos. ❤️❤️
Thanks for being so inspiring!!
Amazing video. I am a medical oncologist , wife and mom ( my son is 5 yo now) and I try to balance my physician live with my housewife life and it is really hard! You really inspire me and make me feel, that I am not alone! Thank you! 🙏🏻🤗
There’s lots of things we compromise on - like how the house always looks like a tornado just passed through 😅 but we all feel heard and seen. And that’s what matters
@@drjennale 🥰 hugs from Costa Rica! ❤️
Thank you so much, I was starting to overthink and this video gave me a sense of peace. I’m a junior in high school ( in august a senior) and I want to be a cardiothoracic surgeon. I know that going into the medical field especially in such a demanding specialty it can be hard to balance work and life. Seeing you able to enjoy your life and work made me realize this is truly possible 😊❤
What a beautiful video! ❤❤ makes me think because i am a physician and my husband is going to med school and we’ve talk about this!
Beautiful video ❤️ thank you Dr. Le!
Thanks Jennifer ❤️
Thank you so much!!!! ❤️ PGY-1 here and needed to hear this for sure 🤗
You’ve been with me for so long!! Congrats on med school 🥳
Wooow thank you so much for this. Blessings
Thank you for engaging. It really helps our channel
Great vid!
I so needed to hear this whole video!!! I have two boys and I'm thinking of going to pursue medical er Physician but I thought it was impossible to do until I seen this, Thank you for the time you put into your videos🤗
You got this 💪🏽 ER is great for family life because you have shift work! Our ER docs work anywhere from 10-14 days a month!
I love your channel so much!!!
You are so sweet. Thanks Miranda 🥰
I can relate to the video and your advice is so real
And I can’t comment on one of your videos without telling you that your hair is gorgeous
I wish I could take credit 😅 I think a lot of it is genetic. But! I have been eating more protein and I feel like my hair doesn’t fall out as much
Thank you
Love this so much 😍❤️
Thanks Angelina. Always nice to see a familiar face
Thank you for this video♥️
You’re welcome ❤️
Recently licences doctor, soon getting into the army. Part of why I wanted into the army was the travelling and variety bit. Not interested at all in starting a family, but I have so many burning passions I want to keep a part of my life and develop now that im no longer in school. Im happy to hear that my project is not only doable but has already been done by others❤
Yes! Medicine should enhance your life not over run it. I hope you pursue all these burning passion and continue all the things and bring you joy
You are my role model ❤️ I'll forever be grateful for your guidance & kindness 🙇🏻♀️
Always nice seeing your comments 🥰 Hope you’re doing well!
Yes. I hope all is well with you too ☺️...
Thank you for sharing these videos. I love that you seem to have a great family life and also be a physician. Did you make a video about how you choose your family Medicine residency program? I am trying to figure out which programs to apply to and then how to evaluate them. If you have any tips, I think medical students would be interested. Thank you again ❤️
This is my really old video I made talking about choosing FM ua-cam.com/video/YEDTm0hkAds/v-deo.html
It comes down to the people (residents & staff) that were most important to me. Do the residents get along? Is there commodore or are they all gunners? Is the program willing to provide training in things I'm interested in (in office procedure, GYN, OB, Derm, etc).
I should make an updated video soon.
Thank you for making this ❤️❤️❤️ love it
Hi Ciara! How’s med school going?
Soo good! I am absolutely loving it. And this video was just what I needed before my second week starts ❤️just a little reminder that your career is what you make it into !
🥳
thank you
Awwwww, love this, y'all are so cute! :D
Thank you! I tell my kids they better take full advantage of that cuteness because it doesn’t last forever 😂
Love it!! So inspirational...
Thanks Richa ❤️
@@drjennale When I look at you, I feel like I am seeing myself... I am also a mom of two (3 years old son, and 1 year old daughter), and applying for Family Medicine Residency Programs this September.. You are so easy to relate and connect. I appreciate how you motivate people especially like me. Thank you again!
Our kids are so close in age!! And yay! We need more FM docs. Excited for you to join the team 💪🏽👩🏻⚕️
This is perfect. Just starting PA school and have been neglecting my husband unintentionally.
There’s always ebbs and flows in every relationship. Willingness to grow together is what makes the best relationships. Congratulations on PA school and good luck!!
@@drjennale Thank you!
you are such an amazing person!! (P.S is this mandala scrubs that you're wearing?)
Yes!! Love them
I didn't know a doctor could do part time
Great, did you have work life balance during residency or not? Is medicine worth it for who wants work life balance? Thanks!!
I really needed this I am applying for OB/Gyn residency and I have a 1 year old and of-course everybody against it and trying to stop me from going for Ob/Gyn as it will miss up my family
Do not listen to them! I am sure the people who are discouraging haven’t tried to grow a family themselves. I know some bad ass surgeon moms who have grown their families and beast fed while in residency.
@@drjennale Thank you Jenny for replying to me, it’s pretty rough to have all this inside. I’m so stressed my face is filled with acne nowadays because of the match my infant and the pressure of overthinking about how will I be a good mom in that kind of residency lifestyle. I’m reconsidering everyday so perplexed between my family and my passion. I hope my son doesn’t hate me for leaving him in daycare for long hours. I know this would happen in any type of residency but OB/gyn they say the worst so you can feel my pain😞
😍😍😍❤️❤️❤️
Do you need to continue studying as a doctor to keep up with the latest treatment modalities and medication in your field of practice? If so, how many hours per week/month do you need to study.
Great video.
Thanks 🥰
I'm still in undergrad, trying to decide if med school is a good choice for me. I'm 27 and have two kids already, and want to be present in their lives. I'm worried that starting so late will put us in a terrible financial position right before my kids would be starting college. I would want part time hours like you have. How much of a pay sacrifice do you make?
50% if not more 🥴 I talk about how much I make and spend in this video ua-cam.com/video/PuCQKVZshcE/v-deo.html
Your hair has gotten so long!!
It has!! No idea how 😅
