Choose Ophthalmology

Guess Jonathan is pulling the ER shifts then again

[doctoreyeballmd]

Totally agree. My Jonathan did my residency for me. Can’t wait until he finishes our fellowship so I can start working 2-3 days per week.

But, as an Opthalmologist you are in a never ending war against the Evil that is Visine, other specialities don't have to worry about that.

I can't take naps. It messes with my head a lot. I can't take the confusion of what day it is.

[emilywhittle]

Still amazes me how my dad gets too come home and take 2 hour nap breaks Monday to Friday at his ophthalmology clinic. He comes home, eats, passes out till mom wakes him up, then off he goes into the wild blue yonder.

What ophthalmology clinic do you work in? My morning clinic starts from 7:30 and the afternoon clinic starts from 12:30. Most days we don’t finish until 5. I’m getting ripped off.

[AchiAhisar]

Ouch! Going for Gen Surg here…. We take naps too, for a few minutes during the night. Sometimes.

[shinichikudou]

Easy: just check the specialities of doctors who upload on youtube almost on a daily basis. They're probably the best work-life balance specializations. 😂

Amateurs, meanwhile the dermatologist is taking a nap on the beaches of the Bahamas!

My Opthalmologist Prof asked us about something Opthalmology. And he asked how would we manage this as General Practitioners and my friend said - Order CT and call the Opthalmologist to which Prof said no way - You're not calling an Opthalmologist on Friday at 4pm. That's when I knew these videos aren't an exaggeration 😌

That's how big flex looks like in a medical field

[DoctorMonich]

I am a Dermatologist, I can relate. Love you doc.

I chose Ophthalmology. You can too. There were long clinic days and O.R. days... but I had a sofa in my office at U of C and took many a nap. Hey, it takes a while for some patients to dilate!

[michaelmackenzie]

I always appreciate your humor but, legit, what are your hours eye bro?

[audreydoyle]

Dude, why do ophthalmologists always look like they're the sweetest doctors? My ophthalmologist when I was a child was so nice and engaged in getting to know me, instead of focusing purely on my blind eye like my mother did. He had the best bedside manner.
I was born blind in my left eye from a condition called PHPV (Persistent Hyperplastic Primary Vitreous) with microphthalmia and a white pupil (can't spell the Latin term). Developed glaucoma at around 5, had all but the sclera removed, and an orbital implant was put in (to stop my eye socket caving), with a prosthetic I can pop out.

The longer I’m in med school the more jaded I become by the whole system. It’s part time for me as a soon as I’m able 🙃

[drlnd]

When I was 12 I cried so much about how uncomfortable my stitches were after my ptosis correction surgery that my mom got my ophthalmologist to come in on a Saturday to remove them. Vicodin didn’t save his weekend.

[juliejanesmith]

He should have panned over to Jonathan finishing his notes then uploading this to very video to tiktok- a sort-of-meta circle thing… that REALLY shows the luxury of an Optho’s lifestyle.

As a family doctor of 23 years, Seeing (no pun) how much patients lose from their lives when they go blind it’s got to be one of the worst things that can happen, short of terminal cancer. Some get quite depressed. I know I’d be. Were I not 59 I’d go back to school to be an eye guy like you just to help these people as much as I can.

[jamssnana]

Good for you. I never met a neurologist that wasn't an asshole anyway. I love my ophthalmologist.
