Health and Medical School Questions
Dear All — I’m a first year medical student in Boston. Every day, I’m learning important topics on medicine and health. But too often, the things I’m learning about never reach the public.
I wanted to try an experiment — sharing what I am learning on youtube, with the sole purpose of trying to get more important health information to you all. Unlike some of the other health videos out there, mine are not about promoting a book, a diet, a pill, an agenda. I hope to explore your questions on health and medicine with you — please, please, (please!) e-mail me any questions and I will try my best to answer them by asking my professors and/or by citing credibles sources (JAMA, New England Journal of Medicine, etc…)
my blog is:

I hope this experiment works — and if it fails, I hope someone sees these videos, says, “hmmm, these are bad videos, but I love the idea,” and decides to go for it.
Thank you for your time!

P.S. I wanted to point out something important: I’m just a medical student, so my posts are hopefully conversation starters, but only conversation starters — not medical advice. If my posts intrigue you, please read more about the topic and discuss about it with your doctor. I’d be happy to send you the information in the journal articles I talk about. Also, the opinions expressed in this post are not necessarily those of Harvard Medical School, its affiliated institutions, or Harvard University. Best wishes!

My comment was just an evaluation from one peer to another! Hopefully he’ll improve on his speech and give people more detail infos and advices. Don’t you worry, what I said will not ruin his spirit and passion for medicine and educating the public! If you enjoy watching it, then you keep on watching it! Keep learning kid!

Zut! I just wasted 3:18 mins watching your video! I don’t really care that you are a med student IN THE US of A. You make it sound like only a med student in the US had credibility. Anyways, your video is a bunch of ramblings. No offense!

cool idea..I am a high school senior and I am thinking about medical school down the road….this is very interesting..thanks…:-)
not sure if this is …
not sure if this is the right approach to making a channel like this on youtube. perhaps you can focus more on your medical school experience rather than on things that you might not be an expert on just yet…
I’m sorry to say …
I’m sorry to say this but these videos seem a bit arrogant. I think that disseminating health information as an M1 is a bit premature. As your training continues you will realize that those nice little packets of knowledge that you get your first year are just the tip of the iceberg!

Hi, I’m sorry to hear about your anxiety. Unfortunately, I don’t have any expert advice on this topic. I understand how it must be very frustrating though. Will you be able to see a doctor?
