PHYSICIAN vs VETERINARIAN NEUROSURGEON

I thought it would be a fun idea to do a video with my older brother, who also happens to be a Veterinary neurosurgeon. I wanted to highlight the similarities and differences between veterinary medicine and human medicine and talk about everything in between!

In this video, we talk about:

1:35 - What cars we drive 🤣
1:50 - How long is Veterinary school?
3:08 - What to major in for Vet School?
4:24 - Is there an admissions test for Vet School?
5:25 - Is it harder to get into Med School or Vet School?
7:28 - Is it more expensive to attend Med School or Vet School?
9:10 - What is Difference in Salary between MD/DO and Vets?
12:28 - Who has the Better lifestyle? Me or @DVMCellini ?
13:44 - Does @DVMCellini regret going to Vet School?

As a physician, I find it hard enough to deal with the differences between male, female, younger and older patients. I can't imagine how vets manage to treat different SPECIES. Unreal!

[vickigarrison]

For me, dealing with the human aspect is by far the worst part of being a vet. Watching animals suffer due to the owner's greed, stupidity, and often noncompliance is disheartening. The flat out verbal abuse from clients had gotten exponentially worse over the past 2 years. It's gotten so bad that clinics in my area are sending out letters stating that if they can't speak to staff with respect then they're business isn't welcome.
Also, so often a client comes in, says do every diagnostic/ treatment available. Then it comes time to check out and they say "I don't get paid until next week. I only have $25." People don't do this for any other service- why do they think it's ok at a vet? You don't stand in line, have the cashier ring up your groceries, then say I'll have pay you later!!!

Our planet needs to appreciate Veterinarians more! They're skilled and amazing!

[marilynhughey]

Dealing with patients and their owners takes a special skill as does parenting. My cheers goes to vet Dr. Cellini.

My dog is a rescue who was shot through the brain as a puppy, (before we even knew he existed, ) A veterinary college took him in and nursed him to health over the span of a year, and took him from a coma, to a paralyzed dog, to a fully happy but partially blind puppy!
He suffered with seizures for three years once I adopted him, but hasn’t had one single seizure in the last 18 months. Thank you to veterinarians and veterinary specialists for all they do. Nobody can even tell my dog is disabled, and his quality of life is just like any other puppy around. God bless you for all you do! I couldn’t imagine life without my doggy! Miracle workers!!

LOVED having your brother on, would love to see more of you two together. Such a smart family!

[mellysheth]

Veterinarian here! My sister has one year left of med school, and I can totally see us doing something like this in the future. We're both very supportive of each other, and it was fun to see that in your relationship, too!

[krisnoelb]

I love this! I have been a specialty veterinary technician for over 16 years now and the amount of scrutiny and disregard we go under is so hard. we still are not treated as medical professionals by most of the community. Yay for vet med education.

Dr. vet Cellini god bless you for dedicating your life to helping animals. You are appreciated beyond measure

[ezraonamonday.]

Being a full time VT myself, I would agree with your brother on the aspects of getting pooped on, peed on, vomited on, scratched to hell, and bit on a regular basis. I have the scars to prove it and so do all of the Vets I work with, as well as the other techs. It’s a rather physically and emotionally taxing job to not get paid for what the value is of helping and saving animal lives. Unfortunately I feel that until we begin to honor animal life, as we do that of humans, the pay out is not going to change. Hopefully it will some day! But one cannot sustain themselves and potentially others on an annual income of less than 30K and have good quality of life in the states, unfortunately.

Rant aside, great video! Thanks for the perspective.

I've had dozens of dogs over my long life, and thus have turned to many veterinarians for help along the way. They have without exception been warm, kind, and highly skilled people. (I'm afraid that I can't say the same about all docs for humans.) Perhaps veterinary medicine attracts only those who are motivated primarily by compassion and intellectual curiosity? Point is, people in DVM Cellini's profession have brought tremendous aid and comfort to my little guys and myself, and they've done it for comparatively modest returns. So much respect and appreciation!

[jessicakoch]

i get so upset when I hear people talking about how vets are trying to scam people out of money because they don’t want to spend the money on their pets…vets really REALLY need to be paid more…it’s insane that it costs so much to go to vet school but you get paid a fraction of an MD. It truly is a labor of love…i dropped out of pre-vet because I couldn’t handle it, I truly appreciate everything you all do.

[amberj]

I actually love this brother dynamic, this was so fun! Do more videos together! Did your parents strongly encourage med school for everyone? Or did you all just happen to like this field?

[TheBadromance]

I’m a certified veterinary technician and though my focus is emergency and critical care, I have a soft spot for neuro after I had a post op hemilaminectomy beagle patient that I ended up adopting. Went from being unable to control his back legs or bladder to running. Was wagging his little tail when he woke up from anesthesia. Thank you veterinary neurosurgeons! ❤️

[nancyfeldman]

Bro Dr Cellini- you confirm much of what I’ve heard about the veterinary path.
Sure wish DVM benefits matched the value of a DVM, because your vocation stands alone in serving the truly vulnerable and voiceless.

[joshuahorner]

I found this both interesting and entertaining. I am a UCDavis graduate from the School of Veterinary Medicine (1994) and one thing that you might mention is that after our 4th year in clinical rotations, we can begin practice immediately and are not required to complete a residency program as are human physicians. I think this debate between the two disciplines will go on in perpetuity. I like to joke with MDs, “how many species do you work on?”

[shawnellemartineaux]

My dog once got knocked by a car and was paralysed. He was dragging his feet around. The vet gave him something and in about 2 weeks, he was walking again. He had peed on the vet. I've never loved a person more than I loved that vet.

[siquanwu]

Jim is so hilarious, he can tell joke with an absolute straight face, love him!

[albussnape]

As a vet, thank you both for this clarifying discussion! So many important points made!! Good humor, too. 👏. Also 👍Not One More Vet 🙏

[JP-hlcv]

Driving Audi's vs subarus is a very accurate representation between the difference of vet vs human med
