Hey Andy I was actually reconsidering doing Medicine in the beginning of your video but I've always wanted to help people and make a difference so there's no way I'm changing my decision. I started watching your videos today and I'm already your biggest fan. I'm not one to listen to people because we all experience certain things differently, but there's just something about you that intrigues me. I'm doing my matric and I've always wanted to go to UCT, I wanted to know about the cost of living there and if there are student exchange programs. I really want to do cardiology as well. I didn't get the opportunity to study the heart because of covid and the trimmed syllabus, and it just fascinated me. So I also wanted to know after how long do we specialize, if that's what we want to do. Thank you😊

Ohh sis'Andy I love how you're so honest about the struggles in academics it's just so comforting 🥺❤ and also I have some questions in terms of medicine . I've always wanted to be a doctor since I was in grade 3 but since I was still young I didn't have much information and that there are types of doctors. And we all know that things changes but for me it was different because it didn't change even know I still have that passion for medicine. The love I have for the (CNS) part in life science made it clear and I was always curious to know what's inside a human's head. Now I'm confident enough that I want to be a Neurosurgeon. But now the problem is that I'm clueless about the medical course I have to do. Or do i have to start doing the MD degree I'm just so LOST. I would really appreciate it if you would give me an advice ❤

Hi Doctor Andy it's Katlego here and I'm in grade 9. I just got my NS mark today and we mainly wrote the physics part in NS and I got 68 percent and I hadn't studied so I have this guilt in me that I know I could've done better. Okay I'm going off topic now😹😹I initially came to ask you that if you're struggling with physics including the chemistry and you don't understand right... I know I know you're going to say I should consult a teacher and go over my work but my question is how do you create a passion towards that subject because I'm doing so well in Math but Physics isn't my best trait but I really need it when I'm going to study medicine...What should I do? Thank you💓

Thank you for this sis'Andy,really appreciate it.I don't know if what I'll be asking is relevant to the video but I'm currently doing grade 11 for the second time💔.Reason I'm repeating my grade 11 is because I chose to change school during mid-term1 last year and went to do Life Sciences,Geography whereas at the school I was at I was doing Electronics and Engineering Graphics Design(pure mathematics and physics were present at both these schools),and I did these in my grade 10 but felt the need to change school and go to Life Sciences because I wanted to 'feel what medicine' would be like.But now at the new school I had difficulties settling and I couldn't make friends.Long story cut short,I failed all my subjects with level 1s and this broke me last year because I usually get level 6s and 7s on my report and then I started having doubts about me studying medicine.Stopped going to school in term2 just so I could focus on my mental health beacause wow🤦🏽‍♂️💔.So this year I'm back at the school I had left😂💔,and I'm back to my old-self again.But now my problem is I don't know what career am I interested in because of what happened last year,now my question is do you think I should do medicine or look for something else?thank you🙏🏾❤.
@BecomingDrAndy
@BecomingDrAndy 2 жыл бұрын
Hey! Thank you for sharing! I’m so sorry that happened to you. Life sciences and geography are not requirements for Medicine, they only require maths and physical sciences. Even though life sciences may give you basic knowledge but it’s not even close to how medicine is, I know a lot of people in my class who didn’t do Life Sciences in high school. I’d advise you to Do the subjects you do best including Maths and physical sciences so that you can increase your chances of getting accepted. I’ll upload a video about requirements to study medicine at UCT soon, look out for it. DO NOT GIVE UP ON YOUR DREAMS!❤️
