Always a great year when Domain casually returns after 7 months

[muhammadsaad]

As an aspiring doctor and someone who has a crazy fixation for medicine, I can't thank you enough for this video. I've been trying to find something like this for ages. Nothing of this nature has ever been made and posted on youtube ever; and what's crazy is that it's not even from a doctor. Thank you for such a great vid

[henkvanderwath]

This video needs to play in all Dr waiting rooms on a loop and the series in schools helping kids pick what they want to do with their lives... Incredible work!

[yurineri]

I am still just a first-year med student, but I am still incredibly impressed by how well and accurately you were able to summarize the field, good job :)

[AndyRussell-ogeu]

I'm super grateful for the maps that Dr. Dominic makes/made in this channel. I'm 17 and super invested in science, so it helps me figure out what I want to do and don't like. I'll never forget this channel for the rest of my life. It really has made my occupation options easier and way more fun ❤

[paulmillcamp]

I literally exclaimed "Dom's back!" when I saw the upload. Your maps are always a joy to watch, and look at!

[davidegong]

Hi, doctor here working in and teaching Pathology. Fantastic, fantastic map! A few suggestions:
- for diagnostic methods, we also have electrophysiological testing, e.g., ECG (you mentioned this) and EEG
- histopathological assessments not only diagnose abnormal cells/cancer from biopsies, we also look at specimens taken out from a full surgery to help stage the cancer
- epidemiology is usually considered the basic science of public health (although your way of presenting it is completely reasonable)
Overall, this was really fun to watch!

I understand that it is impossible to cover everything, but among the things you've missed are: neurosurgery, speech and language therapy and occupational therapy.

[carlbussmann]

Recently retired from a lifetime of surgery I find this a wonderful scenario for anyone entering medicine to view.

[dingus]

I love that paramedics were mentioned early on 🥰 a lot of people see them as just "ambulance drivers" but a lot of them (like ones here in Australia) go through a lot of training and really are experts in the treatment of acute prehospital injuries or illnesses

[jeremystone]

I use to work in hospital IT and this would have served as a great primer for the different services and words I encountered.

[Sofisasam]

I wish everyone who is currently studying good luck! You are all great people and we are very thankful for every Doctor out there who helps and saves people! <3

[fabiocaetanofigueiredo]

Awesome job 👏. I have been an MD and surgeon for almost 30 years and I am happy to contribute if you need.

[hollykm]

I’d love someone to make these for the social sciences, namely economics, sociology, and psychology

[papanadi]

Hi, love DOS.
Minor correction: on "biostatistics" it seems you switched the mean and median.
You show a positively skewed distribution where the mean should be right to the median since it is more sensitive to the extreme values.
It is also very obvious that the area right to the median is not equal to the larger left part of the distribution where it should be 50-50.
Cheers.

[zoecotton]

i am a 1st year med student and when you started talking about those principles, I recognised them from my lesson but my reachers didn't explain they were principles so this feels like an epiphany to me rn😭

[pdelong]

Wow, that was amazing. You've cleared-up my previously vague notions on more than a handful of those branches of medicine. That must have taken an astounding amount of work to put together.

I'm a long-time fan of your work. I came for the physics, and continue to be enriched in other unexpected ways.

[chickennoodlesoop]

i’m about to go to college planning to study a medicine related course and this is such an exciting and informative video! i already have so much love for this field and this video amplified that. i learned new things about medicine as well that i didn’t know before too. this video is a gem, thank you so much!!

[srabaniswain]

Long time no see Dominic !! Welcome back with this amazing content!!!
Muchas gracias 💫✌🏻

[Uteliaisuus]

Thank you for taking your time and making amazing videos. You teach me so much about the world around me, and for that I thank you.
