You forgot about plastic surgeons, they make rhinoplasties
20:46 - Allergy & Immunology

Did you say that with cure diabetes???
If we cut out all this subspecialty in healthcare,
And invested more money in helping people learn to nourish their bodies
You must really consider why “the subspecialties were forced on healthcare providers? Expand your own thinking young man you seem to have a brain now take it down further and less you’re being paid by Rockefellers send Carnegies in Excelsior.

I love that you added jokes about the specialties. Nice overview.
42:06 - Cardiothoracic Surgery
42:59 - Ophthalmology
Interesting that the specialties that are more specific to the body part like ENT and Ophthalmology have the greatest happiness whereas the ones with arguably greater complexity/messiness like IM and critical care have the least.
___
Resources:
4:20 average physician: 59% happy, 41% would select it again. How does that work. Surely the 59% that are happy would all do it again. Isn't that what happiness implies.
And similar discrepancies for Internal Medicine etc.
So are they lying, or in denial. Or just bad at understanding happiness.

Welcome to the Zach Highley Show, where we discuss personal growth and medicine to figure out how to improve our lives. My name is Zach and I’m a medical student, and soon to be physician, in Philadelphia. Throughout these episodes I’ll interview top performers from around the world in business, life, and medicine in hopes of extracting the resources and techniques they use to get to the top.
Peds is not just for people who like kids. You have to like kids in a very special way that enables you to have patience with the shitty adults taking care of them (or not taking care of them hence why some older kids are in the hospital) and yelling at you out of (sometimes) misplaced fear and concern. Also non-accidental trauma tears my heart out every time. Hell is way too comfortable for the people who do these kinds of things to kids. I love kids, but not enough for a career like that.
The best way to help the show is share episodes on any platform. If you think a friend or family member will like a certain episode, send it to them!
maxfacs not on the list?

As a fellow med student , this was really helpful thank you ! Just wondering tho what about general surgery ?
@zainabbahder5652you left out radiation oncology which is what I'm going into! Also just to make a point about medical oncology, outpatient oncology is very different from inpatient oncology its not all death and depression you just had that experience because you only saw inpatient. People don't get curative treatment inpatient so you were just seeing the worst of the worst and end of life. People are cured all the time and most patients with cancer have a better 5 year survival than people on dialysis or in heart failure, but nobody ever says nephrology or cardiology are sad and depressing lol
@Mr_SmackleI hate that there is some conflict for ER docs. They are literally SAVING PEOPLE’S LIVES! How is a radiologist sitting in a dark room gonna have a lack of respect for someone making life or death decisions. If you don’t want them to ask for help then you’re asking them to literally know everything??
@vevorotate7057If this video had transcripts while u read all those specialties and their subspecialties it would have been amazing
@thedaniels3980Wonder where podiatry would fit into your descriptors
@somethingsafootPhysician Assistant?
@CasteJordi10Really, thoroughly enjoyed this. I'm also leaning towards Gastro for the same reasons you are.
@eman-ne2ngWhat a great episode
@westfield90What about clinical hematology?
@anamikaaudra2868I would largely agree with much of what was said about Anesthesiology with the caveat that if you're the doc in the case you could be running two or three rooms at a time. You have to be present at the induction/extubation of each, managing intraop issues/ making anesthetic plans to mitigate risk, and giving breaks during maintenance phases.
@nater88dawgAND WHERE IS VASCULAR SURGERY
@alazalgunaid6722What about the whole Respiratory system?
@ABCDEF-uz9fdHow about general surgeon?
@ghostmystic5586Thank you so much. Without this tutorial, it would really be difficult to choose a specialty although I was last year in Med School.
@MBOsmanPreventive Medicine Specialty?
@ambition1008What about oral maxillofacial surgery?
@GermanySupsThis was super helpful!! Loved the video! For Plastic Surgery, you accidentally labeled it in video as “Diabetes & Endocrinology” but I figured which you were referring to since I followed along. GREAT VIDEO
@dawa68This is an awesome format! Looking forward to sitting down and watching all of these.
@rezakian9829You stated that psychiatrists get paid 360,000$ on avg, but most websites say 260,000$? Just wanted to be sure
@noelrymbai9757Some of the salaries are mislabeled but great video!!!
@lilyaguirre4989Hello this is my first time on your show this was very informative for me. Question you didn't mention anything about Hospitalist?
@rotondabooden7475Correction: Neurosurgery starts at 36:28
