I had a blast answering all of your questions! Let me know in the comments below what you want to see next on this channel 📝

[pathurd]

Awesome video dude. I love med school insiders but as a premed I derive so much more value from this channel and the in depth discussions about issues like MD vs DO and scope creep. You are an inspiration Dr. Jubbal!!!!

[thedon]

holy shits its been 5 years... feels like yesterday

[geniuspeng]

I always look forward to your Q&A sessions. Thanks for another great video!

[zealseal]

Interesting thoughts as always. Awesome video! Can you do a video on part-time physician/surgeon, like few days a week in clinic and other days research or other jobs? Thanks again!

[dj-upnc]

Great video, your thoughts in response to the question about prenuptial agreements definitely resonated with my experience in politically inclined discussions.

[J_aech]

Very interesting video as always :D That watch looks good on you by the way :) Thanks for picking my question - I asked that as it has been really interesting to see how things have changed on your channel since your announcement on quitting plastics.

[reddbendd]

"identify your self, check your self in"
right this volunteer cordinator sum else

[fabiann.martinez]

Really interesting video, I really liked that you mixed the deep questions with funny/lighter ones. Nice hearing about your opinions. 🇵🇷

[brandonsaavedra]

One thing I've wondered about doctors who drop out to become entrepreneurs is that it appears that what separates doctors from MBAs or any other business individual, is their ability to practice medicine and see patients. In doing so, you are seeing firsthand what could potentially be improved or developed to advance healthcare forward. If you drop out, you no longer have that ability and you are no different than an MBA who can read a couple of articles regarding a healthcare topic. Genuine question, but how do these drop out doctors think they will survive without their skills that put them their in the first place?

[bradenjackson]

Thanks for responding to my question on GPA from private vs public schools! I appreciate it and look forward to watching a video on that

[whazzas]

bought myself a seamaster, apple watch, and Tissot every year or two after I got my attending salary . They are beautiful watches and I wore them every day for months after buying them. These days I don't wear them often as I type so much every day and the watch can strain my wrist. It is a nice memento of "making it". They look beautiful in my watch winder case.

[alfredmathew]

Wow, incredible video. Really enjoyed the discussion at the end about political views and how most people don't fit neatly on one side or the other. Actually had a conversion recently with a medical resident who was far right and felt it was quite frustrating how he was unwilling to even consider differing opinions (even if I agreed with some of his hot takes). Also, can you do a Sleep Medicine video? Exploring the different paths to sleep medicine ie. IM/PULM/CRIT then SLEEP vs Neuro then sleep, vs FM/PEDS/etc. then sleep? And the job opportunities available in sleep medicine based on primary specialty of choice?

[MSTP]

Physician retirement ages, reasons, etc. across specialties. I have never seen a grey-haired ER doc.

[onyekaanyakwo]

Can you do a"so you want to be a pulmonologist?" video

[joseloor]

Is there an interest for a revenue cycle management company for out of network services

[Tomisinshalewa]

I'm a medical student who wants to quit. Not because of the workload alone. But I longer have interest. Dunno if I'm doing the right thing.

I need advice😑

[Abdul_Salam]

I want to become a pathologist can you make a video on pathology subspecialties please.

[imapsmtp]

"The reputation of a certain prestigious bay-area program" haha...

[des]

Great video. I would say however that if you think the anti-abortion position is about Christianity, you haven't understood the anti-abortion position.
