There aren’t any comments on that video you referenced, so here’s my story with healthcare in America: I have two insurances, one from my job and one from my dad. I broke my collarbone and had to wait 3 weeks to get it fixed while the doctor decided whether my insurance was going to cover it. Then, before the surgery, I had to pay $1,700 up front. For the next six months I got bills ranging from $25 to $900, and overall I’ve had to pay around $2,800. Then, for the next two years, I had to fight with my two insurance companies who supposedly covered me about actually paying the other $8,000 left on the bill. Eventually the insurance covered it, but it was 2 years of wondering if I was going to be financially ruined or not. And three weeks of waiting with my collarbone snapped in half before I could get treated.

many specialties. psychiatrists who work in academia can make $150,000-200K per year, while a psychiatrist who works for a private company can make between $200-$300K. Dermatologists make $400-$500K annually by working for a private company, and radiologists can make $400-$700K annually working in a hospital. Pediatricians make the least amount of money, which is around $125-175K per year. Gastroenterologists can make between $300-600K annually as well. Doctors who own their own private clinic with the employment of multiple doctors can make around $2 million-6 million a year depending on specialty. To give you perspective, a dermatologist who owns her private clinic, and is the only doctor working there, can make $2 million a year without taking out the costs for overhead. Obviously by having more doctors work, and increasing the volume of patients taken care of in that day will increase the revenue that year for that private clinic.

You remind me of me in the 1980s! I grew up in Ireland and went to medical school there. I wanted adventure. I did my paediatric training in Ireland and went to the US to do a Neonatology fellowship on a J1 visa. (I think President Trump just cancelled those). Then I had an academic job opportunity in Canada, albeit I had to do one more year of residency to make sure I could qualify to do the FRCPC. My university sponsored me for permanent residency and a few years later I became a Canadian citizen (I have dual citizenship). I had a very exciting career in Canada and am now retired and enjoying life. Very glad to be here in a place where people care for each other.

So I'm one of the very few people who's had the opportunity to train in the UK and in the US, currently a final-year medical student. The main differences from a practice standpoint is that in the US, things are much more defined. Physicians, students, residents all have their specific roles and they're taken extremely seriously. Microdecisions matter a ton, as do metrics, and work hours. UK training is MUCH more laid back and with the attitude of "go home and learn stress free" rather than "stay here and learn by practice/fire." In addition, the infrastructure is MUCH better in the US than the UK. Not having EMR, not having the same type of in-hospital technology, not having access to easy and fast testing, all change your day-to-day drastically. The drawbacks are that the UK gives physicians a lot more autonomy and the NHS gives physicians protection. There are no midlevels to creep on your scope, and vastly fewer structural problems always eating at you. You don't have to deal with insurance reimbursements, pharmaceuticals, revenue units, or systemic problems in the US like the opioid epidemic. It's much less stressful there as a physician, especially as an Emergency physician. Edit: The 80 hour work week is NOT a myth, because without the 80 hour week, residents would be doing closer to 100-120 a week. You will almost never go home early, and you'll be pressed by your program to invest fully, rather than this "I don't need this" attitude.

Exactly this. We are required to log our hours in the hospital, and last week I was physically in the hospital for 86 hours. Four 14 hour night shifts with a 24 hour shift and half a night to close off the week. That's hospital wards. The policy is that we work no longer than 80 hours averaged over a month. So, I can very well work 90 hours one week and 70 hours another. That doesn't even include outside hospital responsibilities. His friend is in dermatology, a "lifestyle" specialty which has better hours than your typical residency. You're also right that they demand your full attention. They do not take kindly to the attitude of, meh I just do this for fun not as my main life objective. You would do best not to say that even if it's true. You're allowed to have "hobbies", but residency is your job. That's the general sentiment.

When it comes to healthcare, my cat has better coverage than I do (which is nothing). There are sacrifices I have to make concerning my health because I simply would not be able to afford it and the system is not set up in my favor. My experiences will likely not be similar to yours, but they are similar to millions of Americans. Whatever you decide, I wish you the best.

I went to college here and got a degree. It took years, but now I work as a nurse in one of the best hospitals in the US. People here like to complain that life in the US is hard. Most immigrants do well in the US because they know what true hardship is like and pass their values on to their children. I still believe in the American dream, but with hard work and perseverance. I truly wish more Americans would realize how lucky they are and stop acting like they are victims.

@@paulap5690 Most people who are informed complain because its painfully obvious how far and fast the US is slipping. Victims? Please. You're talking about the richest country in the world that has greatly increased productivity thanks to tech, while wages have remained stagnant. Gen X was the first generation that did worse than their parents, then millenials, and now gen Z. You're talking about a country where 2 people have the same amount of wealth as the bottom 50% of the country (160 million+). Where 30-70K die every year due to lack of healthcare (depending on the study) - and we spend 2X per capita of other developed countries to get worse health outcomes without universal coverage. So many uncritical vapid people in this country I often wonder if the K-12 grade education system was designed that way to make good worker bees, ranked 17th among the 34 OECD countries. This is a runaway corporate takeover. People say the US is so great always compare the US to 3rd world countries, but never compare the US (richest country on earth) to other developed nations, why is that? Ignorance is bliss, is a saying for a reason, its much more convenient to bury your head in the sand and label the poor and working class (that makes up the majority of the country) "acting like they are victims".

Some advice for you and any other international medical graduates (IMGs) applying to the US for (medical) residency: I'm an American in med. I see a lot of British junior doctors leaving the UK. It's faster to become an attending (consultant) in the US than in the UK. However, residency training in the US is more intense and pay is worse than in the UK. But as attendings (consultants), US physicians tend to get paid a lot better than their UK counterparts. Pay varies by specialty, of course. So it's a reasonable choice to move to the US if you want to advance your career as a physician. However I'm skeptical about your expectation that you can work like 20 hours per week and make $200K-$300K per year especially in NYC (presumably you mean Manhattan). Usually the idea is something like the following. You can only pick two: good location, good hours, good pay. Also, you might already be aware of this, but the USMLE Step 1 has become pass/fail. That might be relevant depending on when you're applying. And Step 2 CS has changed so you might be eligible to waive Step 2 CS (not CK) as an IMG. Step 2 CK has effectively become the new Step 1, i.e., your scores on Step 2 CK will likely be the major deciding factor in specialty choice. You would typically (though not necessarily always) be expected to have letters of recommendation from attendings in your specialty (e.g. in emergency medicine it's a standardized letter called the SLOR) as well as US clinical experience preferably at an academic program (e.g. observerships). A major difficulty might be obtaining a visa (e.g. H1B, J1) to work in the US at the relevant stages of your training if you want to train in the US - i.e. residency, fellowship (which doesn't mean the same thing in the US as in the UK), and getting a job in the end if you wish to remain in the US and work. My understanding from IMGs is that you have to reapply at each stage, and there's no guarantee you'll get the visa renewed at each stage. For example, I know of a British (also Cambridge med school) physician (general > plastic surgeon) at UCLA who couldn't stay on and work in the US after he was finished, unfortunately. Not saying this to discourage you, but just being realistic. That said, I'm sure there are some who have been successful at each stage (e.g. just look at the faculty of places like MGH or Hopkins, some of whom are IMGs from reputable institutions like Cambridge, though they may have limitations in the nature and scope of their practice, which in turn could impact their income, and so forth).

Yeah, true, he’ll likely be making more in the US than in the UK if he becomes an EM attending and is able to work in the US. (Currently a big if for him it sounds like.) I know Texas is doing well with EM salaries (e.g. I have a buddy in TX making over $400k working 30-40 hours per week). But then again, it’s South Texas (San Antonio?) which isn’t the most desirable place to live especially for someone coming from Cambridge, UK. At least it’s not his first choice (he said he was hoping for NYC). Personally, I got nothing against TX and in fact I like TX, but TX is not for everyone. And in EM those 30-40 hours are brutal, though there are ways around that.

Jan Vandenbos It is actually very hard to get a residency spot in Canada as an IMG. Does depend on what type of doctor you want to become it is slightly easier like GP, psychiatry, pathology and a few more but there are a lot of IMGs that move to Canada who think because Canada has wait times they will easily get a job. First of a lot of the wait times are due to budgets. Many Canadian medical graduates actually have a hard time getting a job in Canada especially some specialists. If he wants to be an anesthesiologist or ER doctor especially trauma level ER (not GP+1) it will be very hard to get a leftover residency spots. He might get lucky but most spots are taken by Canadian students and there will be other anesthesiologists trying to get any leftover spots.

I completely understand the feeling of being stagnant. I’m 23 and have lived in SoCal my whole life. I’ve traveled in the states about once a year for the last 10 years or so, and just from going to another state, it amazing to see the difference in people and culture. I think if we stay in one place for too long, like you were saying, we are missing out on opportunities that we would never get where we live. Most of us grow up with the people we went to high school with and other than new friends from where we work, we don’t really see a difference in the people around us. I actually make this little joke about how one of the benefits of tinder is that it opens your options to people you would never have met without it. I met my boyfriend through tinder and even though he grew up in SoCal like me, he’s lived a completely different kind of life than I have. And he only grew up like 30 miles from me.

I watched the interview about the American medical system, and I think the answer you were given was really disappointing, and only captures the experience of one wealthy and extremely well educated person. I hope you take into account that you’ve got real tinted rose glasses on right now yourself, Ali. I think the only rational reason to come to work as a doctor in the US is the money. You’ll make a whole lot of money. But if you’re looking at it from any other perspective, I hope you’ll research what the average person’s experience is with the medical system in America, because Usama’s experience, while lovely, is not anywhere near the experience of most of the patients you’ll be seeing. Life for people with money here is completely different from people without it, and if that matters to you, please interview other people, especially poorer folks than Usama. Most Indian doctors I know don’t think too hard about it, or try to justify it to themselves, or their parents were doctors so they became doctors - just like you mentioned about the UK. The inequities here run deep and you ought to have that in mind while making your decision.

I honestly think your well intended comment will not make a difference to him, because every person has certain values by which they are raised by their parents. His heritage, his thought process will always be different than yours or mine because of what was instilled in him as a healthy thought process. For him, he accepted their answer because he needed one more reason to choose America and that did it. I don't judge him however, that could be me moving from eastern europe to england after finishing med school. People are not that selfless, no matter how hard they try to be. If you are being raised with the ideal of working hard and being rich, you will eventually choose a path that will lead to a richer life even when you say you already have enough money and do not care about that. If he didn't care about more money, he wouldn't have thought about how making videos about moving and adjusting will be profitable for his business, or studying for his exams etc. He cares both about doing the right thing and about having more money, which is completely natural. I would probably do the same in his stead, although I do not fully agree with it and I see it as selfish and priviledged myself. The inequities run deep in every country, even in England, even in Singapore or Korea or anywhere. It is how the world is built and will always be. You fight for something noble and honorable but...

Words of gold. There is never a wrong choice. You have a lot of choices but you can make only one decision and that is the right choice. Never regret, live to the fullest.

I'm new to your channel and I'm glad I didn't get discouraged by your opening remarks to move along -- I have read/watched a lot about self improvement and have never come across the idea of increasing the surface area of serendipity. Brilliant 🌞

as an international student in the US, I have been in the US for close to 8 years. The fact is, US is not the US anymore. It is extremely unwelcoming & full of itself. This administration is making everything for internationals extremely difficult. I have PhD friends having trouble renewing their work visas & getting humiliated by the immigration officers. we don't deserve this. i am personally considering moving to other country cuz this one is surely a dissapointment

i can relate to everything you mentioned. Currently I just graduated with a bachelors degree and Im not being able to find any sort of work nor they would allow me to renew my visa for me to attend Masters programme. I really dont know what to do with my life now.

🌞 Great channel, as a doc interested in adding some side hustles, you're an inspiration, only wish I had found your posts sooner.. My unsolicited advice on studying for the USMLE as a doc stateside (though you've probably already done the research): Uworld/pathoma/First Aid +/- sketchymicro and you're golden. And as they're making Step 1 Pass/Fail now, doesn't even matter what score you get. Focus more on Step 2 for ED. Good luck with the exams and all your future endeavors!
