Funny that I decided to watch this considering that I'm only in high school. But what can I say Dr. Jubbal, I'm a FAN.
Same here lol
I'm in middle school
I mean i do painting with little models that have a lot of detail and a steady hand is needed to not mess up
Same
I love to become a neurosurgeon someday! Thank you for this video!
If that is what your truly passionate about you’ll get there. Just Have Faith and stay Focus
Me too I am 14 in 8 grade I am going to a shsat test which means a test in New York where you do it and if you get a good score you go in one of the 9 specialized high schools in New York I am going to stuyvesant high school it will give me access to the worlds best colleges like Princeton University And Harvard University wish me luck I am takeing the test in March I really went to make the world a better place like I will donate to researchers to create cures and I went to resolve the human problems such as global warming world hunger. Wish me luck guys and girls.
@@il3968 الله يوفقك
Doing the same, already setting the tracks by doing and learning anything in the medical field that is available like setting a course for EMT classes for a trauma background. It will get me accustomed to medicine, give me a lot of info, and I will be able to have a medical job while getting the education needed to get into a program, not to mention the show of balance and the edge of experience. Basically take every bit of information and experience you can, because many programs are cutthroat, and any edge you can get will be useful.
@@il3968 what a coincidence! I am also 14 years old, Grade 8.
This is such an insightful video on not just the importance of good dexterity but how to develop the skills. Thanks for posting this, I'm definitely going to start working on it even though I'm still a couple years away from med school
This video gives me life as an aspiring surgeon 😭😭and is one of the best for advice on improving dexterity, thank you so much for creating it Kevin!! ❤️❤️
I am here for this! Thanks for this Dr Jubbal! 🙌🏻👏🏻
Great, I respect people that work diligently with their hands!
I would like to thank you Dr.Jubbal for your honesty and great lessons and tips. It changed my perspective of surgery and would encourage you to make more. And again thank you
Thanks for watching
OMG, thank you for this! Can use this in the future.❤️
activities that I do that require dexterity: eating with chopsticks
I am 12 and did surgery on a tomato and posted it on UA-cam and now people want a part 2. So now I’m here.
What a coincidence. I'm literally IN zoom class for surgtech and this vid pops up.
For some reason this video reminded me of all that Dr. Jubbal left to pursue his passion in business. He was already operating above his skill level when competing with other orthopedic residents... think about that for a second - some of the most highly skilled and driven people and Dr. J was at the top. Makes me excited for what the future has to hold for this guy
I started using Anki yesterday. Thank you
Excellent!
Develop that non-dominant hand skills. In difficult cases, its a perfect asset.
I have my surgery rotation next. Thank you, Dr. J!
"If you don't enjoy something, it'll be like pulling teeth to practice." Um, what if you're an oral surgeon? 😆
😂
You mean a dentist?
@@yaishmatheen4274 well you see the dental field is actually segregated into multiple specializations so you got dentists the jacks of all trades, periodontists specializing in gums, orthodontists specializing in teeth straightening like braces, and Endodontists specializing in root canals (fun)
@@whatthewhatthe9117 interesting. I didnt know that.
@@kevinjubbalmd what hand strength exercises do you do? Using hand grips?
Thanks for making this! You answered my question a few months back about if surgical dexterity can be a learned skill, and this helps a ton! I'm wondering what your thoughts are on the increasing degree of specialization in surgical specialties in urban centers, and how this might reduce the variation in surgeries done by a surgeon? Is this the case, and what would you recommend for someone interested in surgery that still wants a good amount of novelty throughout their career?
Thisssssss!!!! Thissssss is what i just looking for!!!!
Can you do how to improve public speaking/communication/ interview skills next? I know you told us that you had quite a successful transformation in this domain and I am curious to see how you did it!
Practice. Toastmasters group. Other public speaking opportunities at school career days. If you are too anxious to speak, how will you succeed?? Man up and just do it. I was shy until I had to teach a 4 hr class as part of my job. Made an outline. Told class 1st time. You don't have to be perfect except for the content. I eventually gave lectures to docs to propose a new service the pharmacy developed. A tough group until I gave a little bio ( nurse) and warm up. Hard to believe 20 yrs ago. Moved on to other specialties. You must communicate. Otherwise do I.T. nope not even that. IDK. Inderal helps.
I am glad I came across this!! ❤❤❤
Hey Kevin I never comment love this suture techniques. Keep it up!
I was waiting for this one! THANK YOU SO MUCH ❤️❤️❤️
Fresh haircut Dr. J 👍🏽
This helps on other things, thanks big man
Is it weird I love to watch your vids while working out? I’m not even in Med school! 🤺
(Btw the more I learn about plastics the more it sounds like competitive athletics - training ur muscles and mind 💪 )
I love to become a cardiothoracic surgeon one day ,tqvm for this video,I really appreciate it🌹🌹🌹
Do you get anxiety still? When you don't get that much response from your subscribers being so much capable about medicine. I respect your advice so much. An Indian as a Foreign general practitioner. Was watching your videos since my high school and now a Second Year practicing medicine. Could you please make your next video about the COVID effect on healthcare in States?
Much appreciated. Thank you.
thanks!
great video , enjoyed it so much and thanks to u
Great side hustle
I like the hair cut. ☺️☺️☺️
this helped me with microsoldering
Great video! Could you share the document/book you used to learn the details about suturing?
I’m New in your UA-cam family…♥️😁
🤓👍than’s dude. U made great job!
When i was a about 15 i started using my left hand to brush my teeth, eat and other daily life stuff so that i could look cool, 2 years later i didnt think it would help me out on something that i wanted to be
What " several page guide of how to suture properly" did you actually studied? Can you share with us? It will really help us master this skill. Thanks in anticipation.😊😊
Where did you get the knot tying equipment? I don’t see it in the description
Did you make that knot tying practice jig or purchase? I would be interested in picking one up.
I dont know the first thing of knot Tying but i have practiced with my kit putting the needle at a 90 degree and trying to not tear the skin. Im learning slowly
Amazing ♥️
Do you have a link to where people can get that guide you used on how to suture properly?
What is that mystical "really in depth, several pages long guide on how to suture properly" you've always mentioned... and where can I get one?! :D
Dr.jubbal
So I was a pre med student n then after the first month I decided to drop out of medicine it seemed like I didn't like after that I stumbled upon one of ur vids n since then I feel like I started to have passion about doing medicine tho few weeks ago I was 100 percent abt leaving medicine forever n then I saw ur quitting vid n sharing ur experience really helped me but the thing is I kinda started regretting leaving medicine tho the field that I'm in now I'm so passionate abt it n I knew i had this passion for more than 3 yrs but after dropping out I kinda feel the urge to go back is that normal to happen when dropping or does it actually mean that I should go back for medicine?
BTW I kinda feel that I'm hugely affected by the way society looks to a doc vs the way it looks to ppl who r studying multimedia (which is what I went for)
Please reply this so important 🙏
I have no interest in med school, but I found this video while looking for dexterity exercises and watched it till the very end! Very interesting and well-done video. It sounds like you are very interested in what you were studying and you set yourself up for it very well. Can I ask what made you change your mind and quit? Thanks for the video!
Video on why I quit explains it better than I can via message here!
Where can I get one of those blue plates to practice knots on?
Please make a video on how to palm your needle holder ❤ (6:55). During my OBGyn rotation when they gave us terrible needle holders for Episiotomy (Indian Govt. Med Colleges pft.)... and the palming helped with the suturing... but found it difficult to open the needle holder catch without my thumb pressure.
What's the name of the book? (The one which gave u the info on suturing)
Why did you resign from residency & what's your current work status now
I just wanna take the coffee cup upstairs without spilling a drop
I'm also trying to use my non dominant (left) hand as much as possible like writing with my left hand and now people think I'm ambidextrous (Which is Great!)... I don't know what specialization I want yet but I like to be prepared.
Is there any exercise to keep my hand still during surgury?....
whats your secret of staying calm and not shaky when suturing? thanks in advance.
do u close the ratchet while palming?
i think photography might help for train your hand dexterity since we need to stabilize the camera
Quick Question Dr. Jubbal. I have learned through my experience that obsessing over one thing initially leads to a loss of motivation/interest to do it long term. For example I decided to workout recently, and the first three days, I went all out with the exercises, trying to see noticeable differences in the first couple of days (which I actually did to some extant). But due to this obsession initially I lost my motivation and interest in the forthcoming days.
Is this what happened to you too? you got bored and your interest started to divert to other things because you felt like you already did much in the field of surgery?
So I guess the lesson would be to take things slowly at the proper pace - having balance.
I feel the same way!
I didn’t do much in surgery. I barely scratched the surface. There was a lot more I was excited about.
I think what you’re referring to is starting a new habit too aggressively, without easing into it and then burning out. I find that different than following your passions
@@kevinjubbalmd That makes sense doctor, I guess we should be highly interested/religious in practicing and following our passion, then we can truly do what we want to do.
I'm watching this so my hands wouldn't shake as much in everyday activities
Maybe makeing sutures with left hand :)
Bro, i'm i'm second year of General Surgery, how could i get a rotation in your hospital
I want to become a cardiothoracic surgeon. I am super scared and not confident that I will crack MCAT and USMLE. Please tell me somethin.
What is the best UA-cam video playlist to learn how to suture? Or to improve my skills?
Hi, dude, other way Marhaba! U wanna learn how to suture in a skin, or laparoscopic intracorporeal suturing?
I'm computer science student just want to learn survival skills like suturing and small surgery
Siempre es lindo escucharte ❤️
me: im just here for my science project and now im stuck in some quicksand. time to retract myself
In surgery ,name of dizzy medicine for pet .how much dows him
Any recommendations for video tutorials on UA-cam for knot tying and suturing? I want to practice before going on my surgery rotation but don't want to learn it incorrectly
Some of the oldest videos on Med School Insiders are tutorials on this
Kevin, would you mind telling us which book did you read to master your technique?
I don’t recall. It was a PDF I found online. It showed me the basics but the rest was learning from my residents and attending a and practicing
Dr. Jubbal, where did you find the knot tying board? i looked up gore-tex but i can't find it anywhere online.
Agree!!
Mss. Kristin, may i ask you, what is the difference on what to training to knot tying, if the main thing is that you can bring two parts of something soft together in order to tighten them with threads. You can assemble a simulator from anything. Sorry, if i bothering you. Best of luck! 🤓👍
*watches in dentistry*
Just commenting for the algorithm 🖤
Do you think I should try to get this down as a first year pre-med?
Not necessary
I Alni, therefore proclaims that I will be a great surgeon
4th yay!!!
I wanna be an orthodontist but my hands are shaky af. It's not parkinsons disease level but if that was level 3 I am level 2.
Do you still run you anki cards from med school?
Haha no I don't
I rate this video M O I S T
I really think that you would have a became a very good plastic surgeon...
👏❤
I’m legit 13 but I wanna be a surgeon. I’m like 5 years too early tho-
it is never too early to start already practicing what you would like to be excellent at. don't you think so?🤓👌
So what do u do know please answer 😭😭
im in military med school and i want to become father of modern surgery
But why did you drop out of plastic surgery residency, you must've found more interesting stuff, would you like to share with us sometime? Very curious to know.
Plizz wish for me to be a spine surgeon ! Im working 12 hours daily for this dream ! 🥺
Im a teen and i want to be a surgeon but my hands are shaky.....so i cant be a surgeon
me too... and i have been asking but no videos seem to answer that question... but i have been trying hand stability excises for now
These flick shots finna go 🅱️raaazy
Where can I get a similar pad for knot practicing??
U can make your own similar, no matter how it look’s. the main thing is that you can bring two parts of something soft together in order to tighten them with threads.🤓👍
With an Orange.
🥰
I don’t even want to be a surgeon, I just want everyone to think I would be the perfect surgeon
😂
i’m a tattoo artist just trying to cure my hands
The real reason he left his plastics residency is those finger nails damn!
Jk love ya dude
I cannot find a similar suture kit to the "Core-Tex suture" kit with the thick strings for the life of me. If any of you find one let me know!
Becoming neurosurgeon 20%
are u retired now?
I'm new here so I apologize if you have answered this elsewhere-- but why is it that you decided to not become a surgeon?
Check out my video why I quit residency
Im not even interested in surgery i just have really shaky hands and do a lot of stuff that require steadier hands lol
Why am I watching this? I am just in grade 9
it may never be too early to start practicing what you would like to do, it will definitely lead to excellence. that's what I did. good luck!
@@lapsurgdr.m.a.i367 ur absolutely correct sir! Some people might criticize me, but shouldn't stop!!!!!
I just want to be better at video games
Not going to lie. The one transition clip with the surgeon being handed the knife was scaring the hell out of me. That’s not even proper technique
Lol when u no u KNOW....it's OK to boast ;)
