My jaw was on the floor when I saw the research section. That was wild! Congratulations on matching and thank you for sharing.

[MCMMADDOGXCV]

This is a CRAZY video man. Thank you from the bottom of my heart. You have no idea how much I needed this

[suseyq]

Shaun, as a longtime RN (& legal nurse consultant) I tell anyone who touches a chart this: When you finish your charting, that will be the last time you see that chart until you see it in court. Do it right, every time.

[NothingNew-MarksVersion-]

Shaun, thank you so much for all you do! Honestly you are the biggest inspiration to me and I’m sure the other almost 40k of us. Thank you a million times over! Please never stop!

[sjackson]

Thank you for being so real and showing that it's normal to struggle on a new rotation! Very inspiring and love your positive attitude about the whole thing

[EpicCrapTime]

Shaun this is a great video. You have continued to show how genuine you are without compromising your originality. One of the best medical creators out there and a true inspiration to us all. Don't change man and keep it up brother!

[Sam-unw]

This’s so helpful I’ve never seen someone talked about it like this. Well done keep going ✨👏

[WhiteCoatJourney]

i am bookmarking this for next year for when I'm applying, this is too good; I have also been really curious about signaling, research and all of these different factors and I'm really happy that a video like this is out there - thank you for making this Shaun!

[sherrydawson]

Not sure how I missed this one. Your shareing your journey is just amazing. Your vlogs are helping so many . I love how you tell it how it is. You hide nothing
You make our days! Thank you.😊😊😊❤❤

[questionmark]

Hey! Thanks for this... It's super helpful to get a look at the process from the "inside".
Appreciate it ❤

[Triisane]

Great video Shaun this is very helpful! Your application is crazy well done brother!

I'll be putting in my top 0.5% Rank in Rocket league on my application in two years time <3 Knew that would come in handy haha

[AngelaMRoss]

I luv watching your videos. I am a 60 year old woman who has had quite a few experiences at hospitals. I have had more bad experience than good. Please keep your bedside manner. I knowvit is difficult as Dr's see alot and work long hrs. But you chose this profession and all that comes with it. Dont forgetvthat most people that are in the hospital are vulnerable and need to be talked to with compassion. I have been diagnoise with a few things whilevin the hospital but never told what I can do to make that issue better. Patients everywhere are so happy we have google. Love what you do and spread that love to your patients.

[raghavranga]

Thanks so much for this. I’m applying IM for the match this year and I’m slowly getting through editing my ERAS but it’s daunting and I really appreciated this step by step walkthrough

[fran]

Dr Shaun...another fantastic video!!! I see you down the road as medical school professor :) I love your down to earth delivery!

[on-the-DL]

Your research course sounds dope! as an M4 who’s felt/still feels lost about finding opportunities I wish it had been around when I started med school!

[habim]

Hi Shaun: would you do a video for residency interviews? It’d be very useful to current residency applicants 😊
