Canadian Medical Tourism
Tuesday, March 9th, 2010
Canada’s public health care system promises universal coverage, but it does not guarantee universal access on a universal schedule. Long wait times force some Canadians living in pain to go out of country rather than wait 6 months to a year and a half for surgery for non-life-threatening conditions.

Medical School Admissions – Amateur Transplants
Wednesday, March 3rd, 2010
Another classic song from the Amateur Transplants sung by gynaecologist, Dr Adam Kay. I know I have a lot of medical students and doctors who watch my videos, and so please do not take offence at this – they’re Adam and Suman’s lyrics, not mine. Maybe I’m just bitter I didn’t get into medical school myself…*
*I’m not. Best of luck to all you medics, white, posh, ugly or otherwise.

Health and Medical School Questions
Monday, March 1st, 2010
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:

unitedstatesmedicalstudent@gmail.com
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!
