My father was a Internal medicine doctor . He was in the frontline passed away from Covid. I hope to become a doctor like him He absolutely loved his job and he was so humble and caring. He went the extra mile for all his patients he didnt have favourites. He was just that kind of man that didn’t care of materialistic possessions but just supported his family out of poverty and was a father figure for many. Internal medicine is a very demanding specialty he had almost no rest but he died for what he believed in Thats what I truly believe. He knew the sacrifices that came with people a doctor. R.I.P papi❤️

I’ve always wanted to be in internal medicine. Ideally I want to sub-specialize in Rheumatology and act as a primary care doctor for those with more complex case files… autoimmune disease, chronic illnesses, etc. My parents both passed away when I was young (at different times) of a combination of unusual disorders and I watched how much they were ignored, passed off, and even accused of being crazy. I want to be a patient advocate: teaching people how to be informed about their care and also harassing specialists basically. I also couldn’t imagine a life where I’m not constantly learning and also constantly arguing with people. So. It fits

I'm an endocrinologist, practicing for quite a while now. We generally handle a LOT of diabetes mellitus and thyroid cases, but the most interesting or challenging ones are the most uncommon, e.g. pituitary or adrenal disorders, and disorders of sexual differentiation.

This video came in such a good time. I can't wait for a pediatrician one
Edit: 4 months later. I chose Infectious Disease. In my country it’s a 5 year residency program with internal medicine rotation. So yeah

Better lifestyle though. I’m for it. 7days off 7 days on. Surgeons you can keep your money I’ll take 250k and with multiple days off and no on calls. Life is good.

As a previous IM doctor and current Cardiology fellow, IM is the Specialty that you don't want to stuck in for many reasons :
- Every one expect you to be perfect in each aspect in medicine, which is impossible, you can't master a subspecialty where others practicing it for years.
- If the case of the patient is complex and had many comorbidities with bad prognosis, they want you to take care of it and every specialty take their hands of apart from useless consultation like " nothing from our side ", while when case is straight forward and easy to treat they will fight you to take it .
- when they stuck in a complex case they would tell you " Deal with it, you are the internist -with yellow smile -" despite it is even more difficult to you, while when it is easy they become heroes infront of the patient family .
- Salary of IM is less comparing to other specialty, life quality is terrible, and the worst of all, other subspecialty are rasict when it comes to comparation to you, (they see you inferior to them just because you are IM, even patient don't trust you "the general doctor" when they can seek subspecialty ).

Internal medicine is a lie other specialties use to get ride of dirty work and huge amount of study, logically there should be no Internal medicine in modern medicine , GPs and Family medicine Ds are enough, My advice as a doctor who suffered from IM, just make your IM a way to subspecialty fellowship

U provide information that's rare on YouTube. Thank you so much sir. Your channel is really important for medical students to get thorough idea about so many topics that reading a book won't provide.🙏

I wanted to be an internal medicine doctor but the more I rotate the less I want to do it. It's because of the patients.

I spent some time at general internal medicine ward and usually I saw old, very sick patients. E.g. - 70 y.o. Lady with strong obesity, BMI above 40, after 2 infarctions and 2 strokes, asthma, hypertension and diabetes. She comes with some exacerbation of her disease. So now what. What would you do? I saw doctors thinking and working so hard but what do you want to do with patient like this? Nothing. You can moderate her health condition but usually you will see her again in a few months. So that's why I've started thinking about other speciality.

Internal medicine is great if we speak about theory. The processes in our body etc...are great. But being an internist means treating mainly old, sick patients with very bad outcome. So I started to think about other specialities with younger patiens like ob/gyn.

I'm an avid watcher of your channel and I'm not even pre-med, but pre-nursing! But now thanks to this vid, neurology (specifically neuro-critical care), has skyrocketed up in my top list of possible specialties I'd like to go into. Also suffering from chronic and very painful migraines and receiving such effective and compassionate care from my neurologist, neurology has a special place in my heart.
