  2. I watched your last video three times! I am a retired doctor, so I understand everything you say very well, and I very much agree with everything you say, and I also very much agree with your decision! What I want to tell you is to trust your own intuition, be brave enough to do what you want to do, and don’t be saddened by the influence of others! Live happily in the present, that is the most important thing! My son is a dentist. After working for three years, he quit his job as a dentist to do what he wanted to do. Originally, he thought I would be angry with him, but I told him that I was very happy that he could be brave. Go after what he wants to do! I support him very much and tell him that if he has financial difficulties, he should tell me at any time. I will always support him. As long as he is happy, I will be happy! After watching your video, I feel like you are my son. If you are sad, so am I! My child, you have to believe in yourself and follow your heart, not to mention you have a wife who supports you and loves you so much! And your dog needs your company too, doesn’t it? I bless you! God will bless you too! Because you are a good person and a good doctor!❤

  3. “A hospital needs to make money.” that was the moment that hit me.

  4. I am a neurosurgeon. I have practiced for 18 years. I believe I am in a tough spot like this gentleman was….
    647
  5. I’ve noticed that a free person dives people crazy. They want you to be married with kids and employed. I think it’s because then they know what you’re busy with and that people have tabs on you. Freedom is wonderful! It’s also wonderful to make choices to give yourself to people. We don’t all have to do the same thing. Peace.
    639
  6. 37:58 “this video is 40 minutes long and people don’t have 40 minutes to listen to why I quit.” Says the guy who has millions of views on this video 😊 Yes, we do have 40 minutes ❤

  7. People who get in to Healthcare, especially in America, want to help people but we often get burnt out so quickly because we end up only helping corporations in the end. 😢
    634
  8. I teared up when you said that your wife encouraged you to quit rather than to stay part time after seeing what you went through. You’re blessed to have someone who loves you right by your side! It is so tragic and sickening that the American healthcare system has become a for-profit-business, making money off of sick people. I am sorry that you’ve become a victim of the system in a way. I hope you discover your new passion in life soon!

  9. Omg, is anyone else just floored at the work he has done to realize these things about himself?? And how he speaks directly and candidly about it shows how he has fully embodied these learnings. It's really exceptional. Most people don't realize these things bc it's truly painful and difficult to see yourself this way and take accountability. It's so hard. Now he is sharing the wisdom he painstakingly earned with the world ✨👏🙌

  10. Everything you said is true I think, it's scary as... I'm a father, it obviously adds a different layer to all of this. I decided to stop working after i paid my house, I spend my days with my children, going for walks, cooking and cleaning. My partner is in health and continues to work as she loves to care for people. I just felt my soul dying and my health failing as I worked in an industry that everyone seemed motivated by greed and status. I am often mocked by my former "friends" for not making big $$ but I i will admit I have never been happier. I cannot change the larger direction we are heading but I can choose to be happier.

  11. You left your profession (for all the right reasons) but you didn’t abandon your intelligence. Godspeed.

  12. I went through this exact same thing two years ago. Sixteen years in academia created a massive moral injury. Prestige is currency and I fought so hard to try to address the “leaky roof” but the system doesn’t care. Like you, I was holding on too tight and it was slowly killing my soul. So I took a 9 month leave and then quit. Now I live in the mountains in a 1000 person, no stoplight town. I have two hourly paid jobs working with kids and am finally content and at peace. Achievement at all costs is our culture and I refuse to take part in this anymore. I’m 50 and living my best life. I recognize the incredible privilege I have to be able to change my life so drastically, but please know that even the most “successful” people are human and struggle with this stuff. Love your message. Thanks for your vulnerability.

  13. From my perspective this isn't a mid-life crisis, this is a soul awakening and figuring out what you really came here to do.
    573
  14. Well you’ve educated nearly 3 million people about the hypocrisies within our healthcare system and the importance of a healthy lifestyle. One key takeaway is: "When your body heals, it heals completely."
    555
  15. "Ikigai" , Simple pleasures, 6-7 hours of sleep, limited social media usage to none, simple food and prayer for a spiritual boost are good enough to simplify life and its issues.

  16. Racism continues to be a significant and enduring challenge in our society, affecting countless lives and perpetuating division. However, it is essential to recognize that differences among individuals are an inherent part of humanity—these can manifest in various forms, such as height, cognitive abilities, cultural beliefs, and personal values. Instead of allowing these differences to create barriers between us, we should embrace the richness of our diversity. By fostering a deep understanding and appreciation of one another's unique backgrounds and perspectives, we can work towards creating a brighter, more inclusive future where everyone feels valued and respected. This commitment to empathy and respect can pave the way for unity and collaboration, ultimately strengthening our communities. Firearms can used to protect us or can be used against us.

  17. This man is a zen master. Calm, unfettered by the flying pests, found wisdom and gave up what others think is a golden profession for peace.

  18. i just graduated from harvard law school and am studying for the bar exam. lately, ive been feeling really stressed out by the thought of failing and how that would be perceived. watching your videos on your channel brought me back to what makes me happy and feel grounded: nature. it also made me realize that while there's merit to chasing dreams you want to achieve, there's more to life than being afraid of failure, what others might think and that it is okay to change what you used to think success was. thank you for your perspective.
    510
  19. Way more healing than any spine surgery brother! You rock!
    506
  20. I’m an MD, I totally understand your decision to quit neurosurgery! You are honest and caring, truly and deeply compassionate and true to yourself. We should all be like you, the world would be so much better
    501
  21. 2.5 million people wanted to hear your story in 5 days. Everything you said makes sense. Nature is where we are supposed to be. Try meditating out there if you don't already. Really proud of you for making the change. I'm happy for you brother.

  22. There is nothing more addicting than being with your family and not having a plan. It could serve as a definition of freedom.

  23. Retired Psychiatrist here: From doctor to doctor, I empathized with you 100%. We would love to remove all suffering from our patients. Yes, sometimes, or mostly...we find ourselves in tough spots. In my case, Psychiatry has become Neuropharmacology, that´s it, plain and simple. It has become a multi billionaire industry of anti-depressants, anxiolytics and anti-psychotics, that disable the human brain (e.g. Ritalin). Fancy surgical techniques are peddled everywhere as panaceas, while many patients get worse. Big Pharma companies with cut-throat CEOs, do not care, but only about profit and revenues. Yes, medical schools, medical textbooks, medical research, etc. are being manipulated. Thus, after 43 years of medical practice, I have become a holistic medicine believer. Enjoy life dear doctor! You are very young and you have a good ethical personality. Blessings! 🙂

  24. Respect to this man, you could see the dozens of mosquitoes trying to eat him alive but he toughed it out and told his story alone in the mountains for us to hear
    476
  25. You became a neurosurgeon to heal people, but you found that you actually saved very little. Today, you are saving thousands if not more for daring to share the truth. Thank you!

  26. I ended up choosing a life so that I can be with my dog 24/7. She was my whole world. Sadly, she passed from osteosarcoma last January 2022. I cried every day for two months. My daughter is turning 3 and I'm so glad they were able to cross paths for a few months while she was a baby. My daughter is now my greatest joy but I will never stop missing my once-in-a-life time dog. Cherish every waking moment with Doobie!
    471
  27. As a medical professional with a moral injury from how the system is flawed, I spent the last 10 years more focused on my dog and hiking than I did my "real" job. My dog recently passed and I will never regret spending more time with her in nature and less time at work.
    466
  28. A dog and a supportive, loving wife are the greatest joys in life.
    463
  29. Hey. I'm a doctor & I've been going through similar things. I've really been thinking about ending my life because it feels the easiest option. I've had many experiences with psychedelics too so I feel we're deeply connected in this experience & I really appreciate seeing this kind of content being public- I've struggled to express views like this myself for many years now. I will probably delete this comment soon because I fear people finding it & linking it to me & I don't want to have problems with my medical registration & people thinking I'm suicidal. But I really wanted to reach out & connect with you & couldn't find any other way to get in contact. I really appreciate what you're doing with these vids, it really helps me feel like I'm not alone so I hope you see this before I delete it. Love you xo

  30. This man is a neurosurgeon who has changed millions of minds now without a single scalpel or surgical tool.
    458
  31. A wise person once told me. “You define your own success” I live by that.
    455
  32. My husband was very unhappy with his job for a while and I told him to “quit!” God bless your wife for supporting you.
    454
  33. Hey there! Great life choice. I had ortho surgery on my ankle. My surgeon treated me like any other patient he had “next” but I wasn’t aware. Was grateful for his talent and relief from my sports damage pain. I did everything he asked me to do, by the book. I always brought him fruit to my appointment, cuz he had a.m. surgeries with follow appointments in the afternoons…long day. On my bday I brought him a piece of cake and an orange! Anyway, my last appointment I gave time Kenny Gs greatest hits cd and a letter. Told him he was a dr with dirt on his feet in my terms, well grounded and personable. I hoped the cd would bring him joy and relaxation after all his hard days…as I would think of him daily, grateful when I got up and was able to walk easily to the bathroom pain free. He closed the exam room door, kicking his resident out and turned with tears and just hugged me. He said, “No, I didn’t save you…you saved me, gave me hope and courage to stay in my field as a teaching surgeon. Thank you.” I was in disbelief, wrote him off as just being kind. He replied, “When I met you, I labeled you as just another patient, not vested in your health. I saw your size and categorized you, lazy. Then you show up at each appointment doing EVERYTHING I asked of you active in your recovery. YOU have changed me, changed the way I am going to do recovery procedures. You healed me.” I laughed. Told him, “Get in line, all my life people have been labeling me. I’m used to it!” And hugged him. Surgeons are human. I understand why you walked away. Many of my acquaintances have left the field too. Remember, you can help people in many ways. But you have to take care of the care giver FIRST, to be able to care for others. Be well.

  34. Relieving suffering is not just the duty of doctors, it is the prime directive of all humans.
    446
  35. The unhappiest I'd ever been was when I was making the most money I'd ever made in my life so far. It sucked. You start to understand that "THIS is my life now. THIS is what I'm doing with my waking moments. I carry the stress with me at home, I have the stress here. This is misery." Money is great and all. But misery is a whole other beast, and you can't kill it with money.
    446
  36. It is not a crisis. It is an awakening. I am 49 years old and figured it out about 7 years ago. Welcome to the first day of the rest of your life. You are going to love it!!
    443
  37. I quit my job last week. Never been happier. I listened to the entirety of this video and made me realize I made the right decision.
    442
  38. Fellow Neurosurgeon here. Been working for the last 12 years of my life, and the goal was always to reach specialist level. Now that I'm here, I'm not sure I can say I'm happy. Everyone wants a piece of me each day, and I spread myself so thinly, I have none of myself left for me anymore. I haven't found my equilibrium yet - what makes me tick... what takes my mind off work / responsibilities of life. I do know that each time I do help a patient, it always feels like a calling I'm glad I answered. I just need to find the balance.
    440
  39. It’s hilarious how he said that no one has 40 minutes to listen to him explain why he quit, I listened to the whole thing…❤️❤️❤️
    440
  40. 30 year pharmacist here. Felt the same way 15 years ago and had to walk away. I didnt have a plan, but I just couldn't do it any more. May the Most High Bless your beautiful soul.
    439
  41. Mate. .. the duck story is awesome...like fairy-tales I read as a kid. And why would anyone that sat through an hour of your video disbelieve you. Good conscientious conscious work.
    438
  42. I have a Master's in Biology. Specialty Molecular Biology and Biochemistry. GPA 3.9. I too, experienced EXACTLY the same thing as you. Science is for profit. And I did EXACTLY what you did. I sold everything, bought a truck and camper, and hit the road traveling as a solo female with her cat. Namaste fellow rebel. Namasté
    434
  43. I'm 25 and currently doing my MD. This has been my dream since I was young, and I find the study fascinating. I spent my late teens and early 20s fighting to get into a competitive medical school and am proud of my achievement. However, the hours and lifestyle are already starting to grind me down, even before I've finished my degree. I've never felt more alone in my life and I'm surrounded by people. Every day feels the same and I feel totally empty. Lately my health has started to deteriorate, because of the loneliness and depression, and lack of sleep. I've realized that all I want is to not be alone anymore. I'm very lucky to have made enough money through some investments to be able to drop out and pursue something else, but the years of loneliness have left me unable to be passionate about anything. I literally dont know what I would even do if I quit medicine. I dont know what I need. To graduate and work as a doctor? Quit and move to the other side of the world? Antidepressants? A hug maybe? Sometimes I just want to fall asleep in someones arms. I dont know. I'd just like to feel human again.
    434
  44. I am a dental surgeon and quit last year to full time with animals and dogs in the jungle recycling trash
    428
  45. I do not leave comments. I have huge respect for you. I'm 45 years old childless el. engineer. I watch you since you started, like 1st video and 200 views. I shared your video to my sister, so she can understand me better. And my choices. My father advised me to go to electro technical high school, and then further by inercia. I should have been in art. I wish I did.
    424
  46. I'm an anesthesiologist and have been in practice for 18.5 years. I have struggled with very similar feelings throughout my career. You are brave, strong and courageous. I applaud you!
    423
  47. Honest words from an honest doctor
    422
  48. 13 months clean of alcohol, nicotine and cannabis. Working out daily and my singing voice is back. I “FEEL GOOD” like James Brown right about now…without the drugs 😄
    420
  49. This man gets how things are and still chooses to be good… such a good person
    420
  50. I have immeasurable respect for this man. It takes guts to speak out the truth and emphasizing the importance of speaking the truth, even if that means going against your own interests and/or losing people along the way. I appreciate the ever so gentle and respectful way he does so, with the only intention of educating others and spreading love.
