I feel like you are really disrespecting nursesâŠ. My mother had a CNRA do her anesthesia because the anesthesiologist had been very incompetent. Iâve heard a lot of wonderful stories about CNRAâs performing very well compared to anesthesiologists. Both work incredibly hard, but doctors arenât the end all be all of healthcare. You need to give these nurses some credit

Completely uninformed and biased about CRNAs. Dude definitely has a complex and craps on midlevels on Reddit. Crazy how insecure some physicians are.

If school would be free it would be easier to pursue these careers. I have been wanting to go back to school for the past 10 years, but after my BA. I cannot afford more schooling.

TIME STAMPS:
Hey Dr. Jubbal, I'm 15 and trying to find a job in the medical field where I don't have to look. Do you have a video on medical jobs that are more science focused?
00:00 Introduction
00:41 Radiology
How do you rank IM (3.3% spots unfilled) more in demand than FM (15% spots unfilled)?
01:47 Anesthesiology
03:18 General Surgery
With the recent cases especially about the doula Cherise Doyley's case where is was a complete lose lose situation, villainising C Secs, you number of Obstetricians is going to decrease even more.
Too many unnecessary risks taken for the "Birthing experience". I'm a staunch feminist, Endowarrior & PGY1 OBGYN in India. And that case alone has made me averse towards ever practising High Risk Obstetrics. Too insane! Anti Health advocates there are equivalent to Ram dev n Quacks in India. Insane.
04:10 Neurology
04:52 Emergency Medicine
Dude what is your problem with CRNAs? Hating on every profession that isnât your own.
06:52 Obstetrics & Gynecology
07:45 Pediatrics
you sound like our asian
08:55 Psychiatry
09:43 Family Medicine
Before anyone can say AI is going to take jobs in the Health Care sector, where are the flying cars we were promised?đ
11:12 Internal Medicine
12:13 Medicine Needs DoctorsâLike You
AI can't even tell if your cup is upside down, we really gonna trust those clankers to do surgery đ

FM as not paying very well, I mean it's not regularly a millionaire's club but the last FM doc I worked with has gone through a few McClarens in his life. not exactly a slouch.

The thing that caught my attention was when he brought up the legal matters and the stress, causing burnouts. Isn't there a way we can change that?
@everydaypeople4855Your views on CRNAs are sad and concerning.
@jasonb7768TBF Neurology and Psychiatry require a special type of person to go into them. They both require you to look at a person like a book that has errors in it and find the mistakes, but while doing so, they need to look at the person as a person and not a book. I
@saddocatto2784âPediatric subspecialties are facing severe shortagesâ yet only 1 of the 3 subspecialties you named are pediatric subspecialties (child & adolescent psychiatry is a psychiatry subspecialty, pediatric surgery is a surgical subspecialty). In pediatrics we have an entire subspecialty focused on developmental and behavioral issues, and in this subspecialty we only have 800 of us in the entire COUNTRY, yet DBPeds was not mentioned after lamenting about the mental health crises in children! If youre going to include pediatrics in videos like this, at least know whatâs happening in the world of pediatrics beyond one or two easily googleable statistics.
@emily08141993AI will not replace any specialty, it will only make everyone's life easier. Don't let these videos scare you away from the specialty you like!
@readgrow4132This post turned into âan old fartâs recollections and life adviceâđđ
I loved Neuro from med school- took multiple rotations, etc. loved the diagnostic puzzles and did find neurologists that had managed to have long term patient management relationships. However, I chose to leave Neuro for another specialty for one glaring reason: I looked at my colleagues and realized there was No Way I wanted to work with these, frankly, quite stupid, cruel, and psychologically unstable people my whole career! This specialty has been digging the bottom of the pile for residents and taking students who should have been kicked out of med school for so many years that it will be VERY hard to turn it around! There are some very good individuals, but on the whole, this specialty, while intellectually stimulating, has the reputation for diagnose-adios. Unfortunately, the limited brain power and laziness of the graduates who depend on shot gun, poorly requested and on poorly done imaging, means they are not even properly diagnosing! In my specialty, which I will not reveal, I have diagnosed several severe spinal myelopathies requiring emergency surgery, brain tumors and other cancers, spinal syrinx, post polio syndrome, HIV related neurological problems, disseminated cysticercosis, and coccidiomycosis , and multiple sclerosis. Started the presumptive and ultimate diagnosis of several ALS patients(2 of who already presented with bulbar symptoms and needed STAT pulmonary eval). Diagnosed numerous rebound headaches-many caused by the neurologistâs own prescriptions. Have caught missed CRPS1&2, herpes zoster, multiple hip and lower extremity fractures, abdominal aortic aneurysms, as well as arterial insufficiency treated as peripheral neuropathy, and much, much more! All in patients who had already seen at least one neurologist recently!đźđą
Granted, my interest in Neurology and a very strong, AB Baker style education in the BASIC neurological exam as a medical student(crap Neuro internship!) served me very, very, well.
Patients will not always follow the expected nerve pathways, but doing a real, Not a âgoing through the motions with no thought processesâ physical exam,will ALWAYS be helpfulâ€
So many patients say I am the first doctor to actually examine them in years-from my experience as a patient(I donât say what I do), I know this is true. Please! Young doctors: talking and listening are imperative, however, learn to multitask and do so while examining!
1. Gets your patient off their âwrote storyâ and onto the real issues. 2. So many times the exams will bring up a memory for the patient that is crucial for the diagnosis. Some will complain,but if they understand they are getting more, not less, then most patients vs the malingerer, drug seeker, etc will appreciate it.
Off topic, but To patients: I know from personal experience as a patient, it is easy for providers to hide stupidity behind friendliness and a caring personality true-they donât get sued, even though they are killing patients! Please-donât judge whether your doctor is good or not, based solely on personality and a painless Pap smear! Can get you in big trouble.đ
I got called out by a very prominent surgeonâs office for warning a patient(a real hot head, who liked to talk) that he would hate this guy and think he was an asshole, but that he was the best in his field or I wouldnât send him to him and he is who I would send my mother if she needed surgery. Well, yep, guy hated him, but agreed to the surgery by telling him what I had told him! I thought I was going to be reported for professional libel, but turns out, the call was to thank me! The NP who managed the patient care, wished more patients were warned ahead of time of his brusk behavior, but it was a good thing I had also REALLY complimented this surgeonâs abilities as I was thanked for my confidence in the surgeon as wellđ
đ
đ
I donât condone this behavior in doctors, but if it is a true personality flaw, his recent hiring of an NP to be the warm fuzzy was a very smart move! Maybe Neuro could take a page from the surgeons and Oncology teams and hire a patient rep/advocate to help be there to give the diagnosis.
If this guy knew more about radiology he would understand AI is no threat. It currently only flags acute findings on scans. And is probably wrong 60 percent of the time. Radiology is safe for years. Way to many artifacts and scan complexities for it to replace physicans, if ever. Best case scenario is it replaces x-ray reads, which most radiologists hate to ready anyways.
@nayantiwary2012Bizarre that Ophthalmology was not on the list. Do a Google search. Massive surgical load that is growing and ... supply of new residents is way below retirement rate.
@stephenorr3396There is no way radiology isnât top 3 right now. We have sign on bonuses of 100-200k with no hits. How did you come up with this list ?
@sbahadoMarch 1991, told by mgr. Bruce Doyle, EDICON would not allow ax to OS2 graphix mem. to complete CAST dev. Went to Doyle's sup. Don Cullen to propose CAST as stand alone product. Told to write up my sw proposals for EDICON consideration. wrote up CAST, Hospital Patient Bar Code and computer record keeping system and Missing Child police fax broadcast system. Having worked Courseware black hole, that Monday I placed copy of proposals on every mgr.'s desk. Dev. denied. Began my 35 yr. slavery to medical industry.
@jerrydrummond9168I like my human doctor
@Sri-c6yWaao
@AashkaBhardwajThe one thing these specialties have in common?? The pay is terrible compared to other specialties. These doctors need to be paid way more than what theyâre being compensated.
@BootlegSpeakeasyAny thing on forensic medicine doctors???

Foot and ankle surgeons will never become passe'. This is HANDS ON work on real people. Even robots will not be able to debride diabetic ulcers and never be able to do routine foot care, or repair a ruptured Achilles tendon. There is no AI creation that will be able to perform a gastrocnemius recession in order to treat diabetic ulcers. All Western societies are aging because the birthrate has dropped severely. This creates an elderly population with significant lower extremities disease processes. Follow the aged people. They will always need this care and treatment.

The way you are misleading and denigrating CRNA capabilities is outrageous. Be more ethical and factual when talking about this issue. Crazy how you include bad propaganda in this video
@taima899I'm still in highschool but I've already planned to be a neurosurgeon or something with surgeryđ so hearing that AI wont take my dream job makes me somewhat less worried lol
@Ayane_FUFUReproductive health??? Like what Planned Parenthood calls the "Baby Final Solution." There is no health for the millions of children slaughtered out of convenience in the PP deathcamps. Looks like Med School Insiders, (Dr. Jubbal), have some closet NAZI"S working for them. Dr. Mengele would be so proud of Med School Insiders.
@pep590so you want to be a pulmonologist , especially interventional pulmonologist fellowship
@BandarShawabkahHurry and beat ai â
@Mya-s5eHey med school đ« insider can you do so you want to be a ultra sound
@Mya-s5eMake cardiac surgeon vs cardiologist
@HijransharifzadaFor every malpractice case with a CRNA, you can find a similar one with an MDA. No need to jab at a profession Dr. Jubbal. Iâve met really good CRNAâs and really good MDAâs. Iâve also met a few bad MDAâs and a few bad CRNAâs.
@jaredsmith933Such a great watch! Also noticed the editing's so clean! Do you edit them yourself or work with an editor?
@AdlooperHarrisIâm a 4th year interviewing for peds and while the salary was a major concern for me there are workarounds and ways to earn a competitive salary. Honestly just learning how to negotiate your salary can go a long way. I say this to encourage someone who is on the fence for peds and is concerned about the pay like I was.
@TheDmaj7thI hope I can make some difference by being a psychiatrist in a smaller city :)
@zpzp96AI is better at replacing Hospital System CEO's and managers than the Doctors. For anyone who was even a hair scared of AI think of this fact.
@springlink3188Sounds like there are a ton of spots going unfilled. Where are new MDs matching into? And why do some high-demand spots like neurology have so few slots if there's a physician shortage? Has the bar to enter med school raised, and if so, why?
@alqhhi-zen6534All this talk of AI, it's a lie, just wait and see
@DarkPrince256Hey med school insiders! I don't know if you'll see this but I really want to become a neuroscientist but have no idea where to start. Is your video about becoming a neurologist similar to becoming a neuroscientist? Thanks.
@meowdontstudymeowRemind me what kind of anesthesia provider was unable to treat Joanne Rivers laryngospasm perioperatively. Iâll give you a hint, it wasnât a CRNA.
@PropofolAhoyPREACH....PREACH... I'm a float nurse so I work in all specialties in my hospital: Med surg, SICU, MICU, Transplant, ED, CT surgery, PACU, you name it...I've seen it all...And I agree with everything discussed in this video! People are getting more sick, not less....EDs are overloaded with patients! Doctors and nurses are overwhelmed and burned out. From what I've seen, none of these issues will be resolved by AI. We have a loooong way to go!
@sogazelleMay I respectfully suggest that you need to do a segment just on palliative care and hospice as a separate and necessary speciality. At some point, due to sheer volume coming at the Baby Boomers and GenX, you are going to need specialists who know how to deal with serious illness, long-term, and end of life concerns⊠without developing compassion fatigue. The expertise in chronic care of serious illness and hospice is going to be a big one.
@DeathDadWhat about audiologist? Iâm thinking about an early career switch.
