Best Doctor Lifestyle Specialties

They say being a doctor is great – you'll help people, make a lot of money, and work reasonable hours. But that isn't the case for every doctor specialty. These are the specialties to consider if you're looking for lifestyle – high pay and low hours.

Can you do a ‘so you dont want to be a doctor anymore series’ please

"Trauma surgeons will see many gunshot wounds"

European trauma surgeons: "We don't do this here"

I felt so exposed when he said you’re more likely to see that a physician blogger is an Anesthesiologist 😅😆

I've google searched this video title one too many times for being a first year med student😅 least to say I clicked this pretty fast. You don't realize how much you like your free time or hobbies until you don't have any.

I'm surprised you didn't mention Pathology; because pathologists make (comparatively) a lot of money, and have very regular hours. It's a very good lifestyle specialty.

I am a happily employed orthopedic hand surgeon. A wise, wonderful doctor that loved his job and took care of the most difficult patients (addiction medicine) once told me: "do what you love to do because the patients are going to drive you crazy". I really think he was correct.

PCH.

Being a doctor doesn't mean you will be rich, famous, and living with pride this video is so true. So many countries have a misconception about career prestige during these new generations.

second year medical student now and I'm leaning heavily toward emergency medicine - I am such a deep sleeper that I don't think the call lifestyle is for me lol, also it is nice to sometimes work during non-traditional hours because you can run errands and do things when most people are at work and less traffic!

[ninali]

Was literally just watching one of the “so you want to be” series lmao

[isawanactualcicada]

For those who are watching and feel as if their wanted speciality isn't getting them much of a benefit of lifestyle as others do, don't be discouraged. So long as you love doing things you will be fulfilled at the end of them. I've seen neurosurgeons having bags under their eyes but still smiling and laughing

[Fandomonium]

I’m sorry but Family Medicine??? Psychiatry?? Rheumatology?? Endocrinology?? Pathology?? Those all have can have traditionally great lifestyles compared to plastics lol. Also shift work ER is not an ideal lifestyle to many, there’s a reason why it often contributes to burnout.

[anaos]

I think that at the end of the day, it’s important to do something you love, because believe me, no amount of money would make me, for exemple, do obgyn or pediatrics. I love neurology and I’ll make it work. I truly wouldn’t mind earning a little bit less to have a good lifestyle. I hope I can accomplish it 😅

HOLY SHIT😳 I wished something like your YouTube channel existed in 2005 or 2006 when I was considering Med School after getting my BA in Biology from the University of California Santa Cruz. There was so much I didn’t know and people didn’t tell me everything that happens in Med School or in the Med field. I didn’t want to be a MD doctor anymore because I became depressed and had anxiety. I didn’t want to deal with people anymore.

[TinaOnEarth]

I’d love to see a So you want to be a pediatrician video!

[arundas]

Got in love with dermatology after watching the videos. And 1 year later now I'm a dermatology resident🙂

[FacundoMD]

ER Doctor here !!! Agree ! I love EM will be a 3rd year resident soon BUT I like the field. Just as you mentioned is a good balanced life extra time for making YouTube videos ;) !

BUT at the end people have different priorities. I know lots of docs who take huge pay cut just to work in an academic center and others just to be in the city where their families are. Other want some money have no family so they go to the middle of South Dakota to work.

[aarongronewold]

Can you make a video over mid level scope creep? It’s a growing controversy in the world of medicine!

[ayeshakhilji]

Legit one of the best channels out there!! 👌🏻👌🏻🤩

[lukelehman]

"Best lifestyle specialties" and you still couldn't help yourself but to focus too much on Plastics. Waking up at 2am, for any reason, is not lifestyle-conducive. There is no lifestyle surgical specialty. Only a brief, reluctant mention of PM&R. No mention of family, endocrine, fertility, outpt general neuro, allergy, psych.

ENT is known as Early Nights and Tennis in our institution! Though I don't think the trainees agree with that...
