Good evening, everyone. Welcome back to my channel. It has been a really long time since I last saw each and every one of you. A lot of things have happened, and honestly, I had to put everything on pause. Maybe I’ll do a live update video one of these days. But for today’s video, I have a guest. Someone who has been on this channel before. If you’re an OG, you’ll know him. Let him introduce himself. Hi, guys! My name is Francis Cy from the Golden Circle podcast. I’m a senior colleague of Crossmates and his Evil Clash rep. I’m quite honored to be on his show today. Please make sure to check out his Golden Circle podcast on all streaming platforms. Today, we’re going to do something different. I’m going to be interviewing him and sharing my own thoughts as well. We’ll be using ChatGPT to ask us questions. Are you ready? Let’s get started!
First, let’s talk about how and why he decided to pursue medicine. He always wanted to be a doctor since he was a child. Being the firstborn in his family didn’t play a significant role in his decision. The choices were limited back then, and being a doctor was one of the few options. Over time, his reasons for pursuing medicine have evolved. Initially, he wanted to help people, but now he also enjoys the process of learning. He believes that being a doctor is not just about helping people but also about having the knowledge to make a difference in their lives.
Next, we discussed the most challenging parts of his medical career. As he is about to start a new level soon, he mentioned that the workload can be overwhelming. There are times when multiple exams and tests are scheduled in the same week, making it difficult to manage everything. He shared that there have been moments when the stress became too much, and he would break down and cry. He acknowledged that the second year of medical school, in particular, can be very stressful, with lectures, tests, and various academic demands. He had to prioritize his studies and temporarily put his YouTube channel on hold. However, he expressed his love for his viewers and his commitment to continue creating content.
We also discussed the medical school curriculum and the need for potential changes. Both of them agreed that the current curriculum is intense and leaves little time for other activities. They believe that medical students should have a more balanced schedule that allows for personal growth and exploration. They suggested that the workload could be distributed more evenly throughout the years, starting with basic anatomy in the first year. They also highlighted the issue of age, as many students enter medical school at a young age. They emphasized the importance of giving students enough time to mature and make informed decisions about their career paths.
Moving on, they talked about international medical experiences and exchanges. While they haven’t personally participated in any international programs, they mentioned that some universities offer opportunities for students to gain foreign exposure through exchange programs. They acknowledged that political factors and connections can play a role in accessing these opportunities. They expressed their desire to explore international medical experiences in the future.
Finally, they shared some memorable experiences they’ve had so far in their medical journey. They encouraged viewers to comment below for a part two of the video, where they will delve deeper into their experiences.
In conclusion, pursuing a medical career comes with its challenges and rewards. The journey is demanding, with a heavy workload and intense academic pressure. However, the opportunity to make a difference in people’s lives and the joy of learning make it a fulfilling and rewarding path. It is important to find a balance between academic commitments and personal growth. International experiences can broaden one’s perspective and provide valuable insights into healthcare systems worldwide. Overall, a medical career requires dedication, resilience, and a passion for helping others.
