5 BAD HABITS from Medical School #SHORTS

These are the 5 bad habits I learned from medical school. First, I eat way too fast even today, because you're constantly trying to scarf down food in the few minutes you have between patients or cases in the operating room.

Second, I got too comfortable with sleep deprivation and it was normalized. It took me 2 years after leaving plastic surgery to get used to sleeping more and not feeling weird about it.

Third, I'm still desensitized to nasty things while eating, and if I'm eating with others who aren't in medicine, I sometimes get protest to not discuss certain less than appetizing things at the dinner table.

Fourth, I was too career and achievement-focused, something that's heavily emphasized in medicine, particularly in surgery. I didn't spend enough time or effort reflecting on what I wanted out of life.

And fifth, I grew more impatient because time was always scarce. I felt always "on" and wasn't able to slow down or unplug. Today I have to remind myself there's no need to rush.

Well, being in the medical field myself, i can totally relate to almost all of these! Especially being the 'too career oriented' part. I guess, sometimes, we immerse ourselves too much into the field and miss out on tons of other important things

Don't you think being 'too career focused' in medical school was worth it / paid off for you? It allowed you to match into plastic surgery, which further gave you an even greater reputation to help build your YT channel and other businesses. Would love to hear you thoughts

So true ! I can totally relate, I'm yet to choose my speciality so I'm trying my best to make Work life balance a priority !! It really is hard work managing the stress of med school in a healthyway without picking up bad habits along the way though, smartphone addiction is my weakness 😅!

#1 Eating too quickly. Also, standing and walking around when eating. Sitting and chewing slowly to taste food is golden

#3 Talking about nasty things @ dinner table= funny. Some might think it’s rude but as you sd. you were desensitized after anatomy courses. I’d find it revolting but somehow intriguing to hear it all. 🤭🤭🤣🤣

Thx for clip- you came up so we just subscribed

The career focus is something that I'm really having a revelation about right now. I'm graduating with a PharmD in May, and I didn't end up with the residency I wanted. It is most definitely making me take a step back though. Making me realize that working toward goals slower is not the end of the world, and I should be able to have more components to my life than solely pharmacy.

Also just always being on... I've almost completed an accelerated doctorate program now. This whole idea is go go go with barely any breaks. I'm so ready to pump the breaks.

I was raised by a doctor and there were lots of gross discussions at the dinner table

[wholeNwon]

When one of my classmates asked me to take over the failing resuscitation of his father I should have said, "Chill, I've been on too much for my health."

[lightandnightEQUINOX]

Just finished med school and so relatable

[marciavarlack]

I'm not a doctor but I am a nurse and I can truly relate to all five things.

[kavishasanadhi]

You are like med school insiders
Why do I hear both voices like same 😅

[iamdanyboy]

Agree with the Sleep, Food and nasty topics in dinnertime things.

[rrss]

Gosh I’m in my final year and I can relate to all of these omg

[musicrocksfu]

I already relate to all these things as a premed not even in medschool yet…

[mauriciotejada]

I can't cope with trying to normalize my sleeping schedule. It has been almost two years and I also feel "rare" when I want to sleep a decent amount of hours

[taylorskyblue]

Love your shorts! Your YOUTUBE shorts! 😆Seriously though, I enjoy watching them!

[foil_fencer]

Worst thing is that if I eat too fast I have acid reflux rip

[henron]

Just in first year with basic sciences only but im starting to feel the effect of no.5

[nitricfox]

Damn this is so relatable, only problem is I’m 15 and in highschool

[gvtycbq]
