I would love to see more of your subjective “why I didn’t” videos

Great vid man, but while I agree the general GI procedures lack the complexity of surgery, there are advanced endoscopic procedures than can be super complex (esp in the academic setting) that often require a multidisciplinary approach with interventional rads, surgery, etc :)

I'm a gastroenterologist and I look forward to my endoscopy sessions everyday.... in whatever specialty u cant run away from clinic sessions. even surgical patients need to be managed on an outpatient basis

I loved this video. Im a med student in Brazil and before I get in med school I started the graduation in nutrition, so I was in love with GI sistem and nutrition but now Im definitely in love with Derm, Mohs Surgery, Cosmiatry.... etc

[desmadness]

I think this is a pretty cool series! Would love to see more vids like this

[PhoenixBlade]

Super interesting to get both the subjective and objective opinions. I’d love to see more! I’m very curious as to how you decided against other surgical specialties like neurosurgery

[eronpowell]

Thinking of GI because of EoE. Very nice to hear this point of you!

[yoniboboshov]

I had a very similar story with IBD almost persuading me to become a gastroenterology but ended up pursuing something else

[mitchellkirkham]

Nice Peter McKinnon style: “What’s up guys!”

+1 for: Why I didn't... Plastic Surgery
After watching your 'so you want to be a plastic surgeon' you to totally changed my mind about what plastic surgery actually is, and surprisingly found it a great fit for me, especially because I'm super obsessed with details and meticulousness and I love surgeries so much! 😁 So PLEASE what are the cons of it?!
HUGE THANKS 😊❣️

[sherrydawson]

As a Doctor, u have to pick what's best for u. Then your best for the pt. So it's good not only did u fig out ok GI is not going to make me happy. But u have time to switch. I applaud 👏u.

Omg Kevin....its my second semester of freshman year at ohio state and got diagnosed with crohn's disease and missed a week of school because I was in the hospital for my first ever flare up, twins;)

[alirezafarahani]
