If you are a student, especially in medical school, and want to teach medicine, I urge you to start without any experience. Just start and then learn along the way. And the beautiful thing about the teaching is that when you teach, you learn more. When you teach, um the information that you've learned stays in the brain for a longer period of time and you can build on that one easier. So teaching is actually the best form of learning.

SPEAKER_01 0:31

When we recorded this episode, Payne Gaiman was still practicing medicine and building a YouTube channel on the time. Well, since then, a lot has changed. For one, it's almost grown to nearly 400,000 subscribers, it shifted from being a doctor, medicine creating content, just creating not focusing on educational content all the time. And now he has a film selected for Trep, which is an educational film festival, which is going to be amazing. And I'll be actually one of the keynote speakers this year, which we're super excited about. So what I like about this episode though is listening back to what he had to say back in 2024, it's not just growth that stands out, but it's his approach. He actually teaches a lot in a way that he wants to learn. He talks about being very visual and wanting to learn that way. And of course, medicine anatomy, which we talked about during this episode, is very visual. Um and this has actually been able to scale for him very well. And he's been able to go beyond just using video, but is using video as a primary mechanism to reach out. And if you read some of the comments, and I encourage you to go out, find his YouTube channel, we'll link to it down below, go read some of the comments from the people who have benefited from this content. I hope you enjoy the rest of this episode as I look back with time on his journey from medical doctor to YouTube creator. We've got Time Dewood, and he's a 29-year-old newly graduated medical doctor from Norway running a medical educational YouTube channel, which was made in the early days of med school. He started his channel during during his first year of medical school with an aim to simplify difficult concepts in medicine and to help other people learn in a faster and easier way. With that said, please help me welcome time to the Visual Lounge. Well, welcome.

SPEAKER_00 2:15

Thank you very much. Thank you for that beautiful introduction.

SPEAKER_01 2:18

Well, thank you for being here. Uh we appreciate you uh you know bridging time zones to meet at a time after a long day at the hospital. What's one tip that you would give our audience about you know making creating videos that might help them in their work?

SPEAKER_00 2:34

Well, I can give tips based on my experience. And um I started this medical YouTube educational channel during my medical school, during my first year of medical school. And um I started uh without any background knowledge on how to edit videos and how to teach online, how to make YouTube videos or anything. So if one I I have a lot of tips, but just if I only had one tip I could give is start even though you don't have any experience, because you will learn along the way. That's uh basically how I did. Uh I just started making my first videos was really bad. Those people who follow my uh YouTube channel from the beginning, they know how my uh old videos used to be and how my new videos are. So you basically learn along the way. So start even though you don't have any experience.

SPEAKER_01 3:23

I I love that because that's I mean that's great advice because that's the the only way you're gonna get better is by getting going. I I'm curious, and I wanna I want to have this conversation because I think you're in a unique position. I don't know personally how many doctors that are out there who are also running YouTube channels. I'm guessing there's a handful of you, uh, but it's probably not like a million, it's probably not even a hundred thousand, you know, it's probably uh maybe a hundred, a couple hundred. Um, and and I'm curious for you, you kind of in your intro, it talks about you you started this during the early days of med school. Uh what was really your thinking at that point? Because here I, you know, I don't know what it's like where you are, but in the US, I think a med school is it's incredibly challenging. It's got a huge demand on time, it's got all these things that say like the last thing I want, I would want to do is also take on a project to create this content. So tell tell us a little bit about your thinking about what what what was went into that decision to start.

SPEAKER_00 4:21

So the reason why I started is basically um it's not the usual uh reason why you start uh YouTube channel. Most doctors who are on YouTube, they many teach medicine and many have the have it as a vlog. So they just film their uh daily life and and stuff like that. I started YouTube uh not with the intention of becoming a YouTuber. Um I started first year of medical school, and uh my brain is very visual. Uh I can't learn if it's only text. And we started with anatomy. I remember anatomy uh at the university gave us a huge companion, a huge uh pile of a lot of um written texts for anatomy. And anatomy is like basically all it shows all organs, you need to know all the structures on different organs. And I there was no way I could read that, uh, all of those texts. So I what I did was I I took, for example, we had a uh class on Thursday and the uh weekend before. I just took uh I just read through that those notes and I tried to make a presentation uh with a lot of pictures. And then uh just to make things easier for me, I made that presentation, I just recorded it and I uploaded it to a YouTube channel uh so that I can listen to myself on my way to the you know university or on my way to the gym or anything, and that way I would passively learn. Um basically I would be ready for the class without uh spending a lot of hours you know studying for the class. So I did that, and um over time I think I uploaded like 30 videos to that YouTube channel. I didn't have any views, but then suddenly I got like my first comment on that um on the one of those videos, and then I it just struck me, I was like, okay, people can actually see those videos. I didn't I didn't know that, you know. So um the first ever comment I got was thank you, that was helpful. Helped me for the class. Yeah. And I thought, oh, if somebody actually, you know, are having you know, they they those videos are actually helping them. Let me you know try to make it a little better, let me continue with that. And so I just did that, you know. I just tried to make the video a little better. I just uh I kept making all my videos for free, I just kept uploading them, and uh the the channel just grew from there, and and uh what motivated me to continue YouTube was uh seeing all the comments uh of people saying that these videos actually helped them and that they passed anatomy because of those uh videos. Um so that's that's my story. I didn't I didn't never had any intention of becoming a YouTuber, I just it just happened.

SPEAKER_01 7:07

Well, but but I love that, right? Because it was uh born out of a need that you felt and had, and you know, obviously there's so much information that needs to be processed that you're doing it for yourself, but then it it it ends up helping these other people. So as you started to see that traction grow, like you got the the first comment, you know, thank you, and then you can see people saying, Oh, I passed anatomy from this. What were, you know, again, here you are very busy thinking about like, you know, you're still doing probably still doing it for yourself for a while to just help you move forward, but what were the things that you kind of keyed in on that said, if I can make this better, that that really made a difference for maybe for you, or you saw that make the biggest difference for others? Because I imagine there's lots of you got a lot of trade-offs to make when you're particularly the videos you I've seen your videos and they're beautiful, you're using a lot of bringing a lot of tools together to to make those, but what what were some of those things you said, hey, this if this can't, I gotta make this better if I'm gonna keep doing this? Anything that stood out to you?

SPEAKER_00 8:08

Um I think one of the big changes uh early on in the channel was uh animations. Uh and it's so much easier to explain structures using animations. And I didn't know how to explain my earlier videos, it was just presentations, pictures and then text, and then I would click on next slide, and you know. So uh I think um once I started trying to animate a little bit, uh you know, transitions at least, and changing you know, views of organs and stuff like that. People uh said that that's that's when I start started seeing a change to the channel as well. That's when people more people started commenting and saying that this this was really helpful, uh and a way for me to see the organ on three-dimensional um uh view, um, you know, and it was easier for them to visualize it as well. So so learning animations was was you know the big big breakthrough for my uh uh YouTube channel. If I understood the question correctly, I was sorry.

SPEAKER_01 9:11

No, no, that's absolutely and what do you think of like so obviously seeing things in 3D, uh it was there something about that that you think helps from a learning perspective? Particularly again, we're talking you know, highly complex systems and you know, I gotta imagine too, there's so many just uh like vocabulary pieces to uh you know an anatomy and then understanding all the structures and of how they connect together. Like there's so much. Uh what do you think about an animations made that difference for your audience um versus just you know what they were seeing maybe elsewhere or what they're getting out of their books and lecture?

SPEAKER_00 9:48

So the way I make my YouTube videos is that I teach based on how I wish I would uh learn from YouTube. So uh for example, uh if the teacher said that next week we're going to learn about the peritoneum, uh and the peritoneum is you know the uh fat layer that that protects all the organs within the abdominal cavity. And if I for the first time in my life, I heard the word peritoneum, and I go into YouTube and I open a video and I try to make videos based on how I wish that video could teach me so that I learn everything. Yeah. So I teach based on how I learn. Uh, and that's that's basically what I continued on for the YouTube channel. And I learn best with uh when organs are visualized and not just visualized with one picture, because in order for me to understand this this view of the organ, I need to see the lateral view, the medial view, the posterior view, and that way I have a full you know um idea of how that organ not just look like but how it works as well. Uh so uh that's why I went try to make a more 3D uh animated type of videos uh because that's how I learn things better. And uh obviously as I far as I understood after doing that, I saw that a lot of other people also um learn easier that way.

SPEAKER_01 11:20

So yeah, I love it. So obviously you've you've been doing this for a couple years. Your channel is, you know, you I was looking, you're over 100,000 subscribers, which is amazing. Congratulations on that. Uh helping, I mean, that's a lot helping a lot of people who are moving through their medical to their medical careers. And I'm curious now that you've kind of moved through the, and I'm sure you're always learning as a doctor, right? There's always something new, there's always topics that you know you have to kind of continue growing in. But uh now as you're balancing this, you know, you talked about before that you were you're like, this is what I need to learn, and this is how I wanted to learn. As you continue, because you're continuing to do this, what what are you considering as like the fodder for the topic or the the material that you're like, oh, I need to make a video about this? Uh how how are you coming about those decisions at this point in your career?

SPEAKER_00 12:10

Yeah, that's that's a good question. And and and those are things that I thought about a lot. Um, when I started the YouTube channel, I started it during my first semester, and we didn't have any clinical um subjects at that time. We only had like just basic uh human physiology and basic human anatomy and stuff like that. And I started the channel based on anatomy, and anatomy in our medical school is one and a half year. Um, and obviously after a year, um I didn't cover everything, and those topics that I did cover was not that great. Um, so later on, when I finished uh anatomy and started going into the third year and fourth year of medical school and started having you know cardiology, neurology, and and though all of those clinical subjects, I thought since I started with anatomy, I want to at least finish it. So that's basically what I did. I just went uh by our school curriculum. And so, for example, um, we had about the central nervous system, and I started, even though I had a class on cardiology, something completely irrelevant, um, I just made sure to set aside time to teach, make a video, for example, about the cerebral cortex, and then another video uh about the internal um uh you know parts of the brain, and then I just continued um through those that curriculum. Um and now recently, that's actually after six years of having that YouTube channel, I finished, I covered all the subjects of anatomy. Um and it's not that it took me six years to finish it, it just took me six years to learn how to animate and learn how to make YouTube videos and learn how to teach and all of those all of that package. It wasn't just you know, anatomy is not that hard, it's not like you need six years to, you know, it's it's just uh uh the fact that you know learn how to make those videos and stuff like that. Um and there was a point where I actually nearly finished the whole anatomy. I think it took me two years. Uh, but then when COVID hit, um, we had a lot of online uh classes, and I took a project, I thought, let me just you know, remake all my previous videos since I have a little bit more experience now. And so that's what I did. I uh it took me one and a half year to remake all the previous videos that I did and make a more high higher quality ones with you know, um I I didn't have any microphone, I didn't have it, you know, with so so those new new videos were kind of um with with with a microphone, with a better visualization, stuff like that. Uh and all my previous videos, I put them, you know, I hit them eat private. Um so now that I've finished anatomy, uh now I'm graduated, I finished anatomy, uh, I did make a poll and ask all my viewers, uh, all ask my subscribers on what subject they would want to learn first. So uh we landed on uh cardiology. And so now um, even though I'm not working in cardiology departments, I'm in uh uh emergency department right now, surgery. Um I still I am planning on what all the covering all the subjects of cardiology because you know all subjects are important as a medical doctor. You need to know, you know, you at least you know a knowledge of everything. Not that you need to know everything in that subject, but you now have a lot of knowledge of it. Uh so that's what I'm doing, even though I'm not working with cardiology, I am going to cover all uh subjects, all the topics in cardiology, and then after that, I will move on to another subject, you know. I will just continue it that way, and and most of it is for my own learning, and that is actually a really important point when it comes to making an educational channel. Um teach based on, you know, have the the main your main idea, your main reason why you want to make those videos should be for your own learning. Um and and and you know, find ways, you know, teach based on how you want to be teached. Uh and try try to have the idea, yeah, yeah. Make the videos based, you know, because you want to learn about it.

SPEAKER_01 16:37

Yeah. Well, well, it doesn't escape me, and and and I know we're you know, from a language perspective, I don't know if this translates super well, but like the fact that your viewers wanted cardiology is really just a matter of the heart. You know, uh they they loved it so much, right from the heart. Exactly. Well could be time, I'm I'm I I I love that process, right? And I I love that you're talking that like hey, you know, in educational particularly channels, it's gotta be something that you're interested in. You've got to, you know, think about the way you want to learn, because there's obviously a a connection there to others who want that as well. Can we it can we take a little time? I want to break down a little bit of what you do, because again, you're sh you're talking about these complex topics that obviously uh are there's visuals involved, but could you uh at a high level at least walk us through, let's say you've got your next topic, whatever it might be, maybe it's cardiology related, or or maybe it's an anatomy one. And I know you just made a really great video talking about your full process, but for the purpose of our audience, uh, we can link to that video, but uh just walk us through kind of your start to finish of what goes into making a video. Are you like you pick a topic and then and then what? And what leads you to kind of final product on on YouTube? Sure.

SPEAKER_00 17:53

There's actually I while I have made a couple of I've made a lot of videos, maybe a hundred over a hundred videos, and I never really thought about do I have any steps on how I make those videos? And since I have a lot of that, I get a lot of comments on asking me, yeah, I want to start a medical educational channel, but I don't know how. Do you have any tips? What programs do you use and stuff like that? And so that's why I decided to make that uh recent video, and that was actually the first time I ever showed myself as well. Uh I I don't really usually show myself, I I'm really um I'm embarrassed from the computer in front of the camera. But um that was uh that was a huge project that I took in. And I tried to analyze how I make videos, and I came up with seven um steps on on um so if you want to make a medical education channel, the medical video, there are seven steps you you should uh go through. And the first step is plan. Uh plan the top, you know, what top what what is the topic you're going to present, how are you going to present it, um, what sources are you going to use? You know, make sure that you use sources that are up to date because when it comes to medical subjects, you have to be up-to-date sources, uh, and either primary sources or secondary sources. So planning is the first one. Second one is you want to start making a present a presentation. And I keep it simple. Uh again, I don't have a lot of experience. I keep it simple. I use PowerPoints. Um, same as we used back in primary school. Uh so PowerPoint. Um, so make a PowerPoint presentation. And PowerPoint has a lot of good uh animations you can use and and uh you know things that you can use to make the PowerPoint presentation pretty well, uh good looking as well. Uh so make the presentation. The third one is make a script. Um some people just talk freely uh following the presentation. I like to use a script when I record. Uh the fourth state, fourth step is record the um the presentation using that script and then uh edit that recording. And then uh you need to you know screencast that uh after you've you've just talked. The fifth one is you know, screencast the PowerPoint presentation over the uh the edited um uh recording that you just recorded. And then uh the sixth step, I don't know if this was yeah, sixth step is uh edit the video, you know, add edit the video. I use Cemptation for that one. So edit the video, um uh you know, add animations, add extra things that could make your video more um um you know um dynamic. Yeah. And so, and the last one, the seventh step, is make a the seventh step is really, you know, if you want to. Uh the seventh step I use, I use Canva to make a you know cover image. I try to make a description for the video, try to include everything uh in the description that the video includes to just to make it easier for the viewer. If they want to, a more summarized version, if you don't want to watch the video, uh you can just go to the description and just read the video covers basically. So those are the seven steps uh that I primarily go through.

SPEAKER_01 21:20

Well well, no, I I I love that and I love the simplicity in the sense that you're not overcomplicating it, right? Like because as someone who I'm again uh making an assumption here that you're super busy and this is uh one more thing to do, if it was much harder, it becomes a barrier to getting it done, right?

SPEAKER_00 21:41

I mean uh uh again, it depends on how you look at it. For me, uh it's more of a lifestyle, to be honest. I I really enjoy making uh YouTube videos. Uh and the reason why I enjoy it is because I learn a lot from it. And when I learn something from it, I I you know I enjoy it more. So um I don't really look at it as work, even though I have uh I have long shifts at the hospital and sometimes I am tired, and when I am tired, I you know take a break, I you know, I make food, I watch series, Netflix, and stuff like that. But uh I do I do have personal life as well.

SPEAKER_01 22:19

Of course.

SPEAKER_00 22:20

But um I just make sure I just make sure to you know give YouTube at least one hour of the day, even though I'm not so efficient during that hour because I am tired. I just you know give it one hour. As long as I just write one sentence, for example, I'm I'm happy. You know, so one video can take one month, or it can take one week, uh depending on how much uh my energy level is, how much I have to do, and and and things like that. But I just make sure to to keep going, to keep give YouTube at least one hour.

SPEAKER_01 22:53

Well, I I I want to say I you know, I've talked to, I mean, we're probably what uh episode 207 of the show, right? And I've so I've talked to so many different creators and people who are making learning content for corporations, I've talked to YouTube creators who are making, you know, uh informational type videos and have big audiences, but this is the first time I I've heard this approach, and I absolutely love this. And so um that like because it's it's very healthy. Uh like if I I just I you have a scheduled kind of block. I'm gonna put one hour in whether you get a sentence or you get a full video or whatever it is. I I love that because it's always making progress and you're making effort forward, but it you're not you know what it sounds like is you're not at the end of the day, it's not about oh gosh, I've got to meet the grind of a a video a week or a video a day or whatever it is. And and I get why some people need to do that, they feel like that because it's their business model or whatever, but I think that's a really awesome approach to say, like, let's just make some progress, but do it every day consistently, and that gets you to done faster than you know not doing anything, right?

SPEAKER_00 24:00

I think that's something I want to comment on because uh I think every YouTuber or um everyone that that you know make YouTube videos, they have had a time where they feel like they need to upload something. And I really felt that um during my last year of medical school because I had so much to do. Um, you know, we had like you needed to write a thesis and you needed to study for the state exam and stuff like that. So I didn't have a lot of time for for YouTube, but during that time, uh I felt like I I really need to push myself to um make a YouTube video. I really need to push myself, you know, and and and that was that was unhealthy. Uh that was when I started having a uh negative um you know approach to to the whole you making a YouTube, making an educational YouTube uh channel. Um so I I did have a time when you know I went, I tried, I pushed myself a lot, and I wasn't efficient at all. And the videos I made was not as good of a quality, which um I would make usually when I you know make I enjoy making uh the videos. So I have had a time when I really pushed myself and have figured out that this is not a good way. Uh so you take one hour, if it's one sentence, it's fine. If it's you make a whole presentation just doing one hour, that's perfect. But if you're not efficient, if it takes you two months even to make one video, that's totally fine. Uh I'm making this channel just to teach uh and for my own learning as well. And I never had the intention of becoming a YouTuber, I had the intentions of teaching. And so if I start thinking that I need to upload, I have this urge, you know, to I need to upload, I need to upload, that's when you start having this unhealthy relationship to the to the YouTube channel. Um, so I think this is something you need to keep in mind all the time. So even though you don't upload um once a week, even though you don't upload once a month, it's totally fine.

SPEAKER_01 26:10

Yeah, just keep that mentality. I I love it. Well, we're gonna go to our speed round questions, but before we do, uh, you know, you mentioned during our first when we asked you about the tip at the beginning, any any tip that you would want to tell people that maybe we haven't had a chance to talk about yet, anything you want to mention, we'll get to our speed round and kind of final stuff, but uh I want to give you that chance before we we jump in.

SPEAKER_00 26:35

Yeah, um, so there are a lot of tips I can give if you're uh at least I can give you a tip based on if you're a medical student and want to make educational videos, or if you just want to make educational videos and you're a student or you know, part-time next to your work, or yeah, you know. Uh the first tip is you know, start even though you don't have any experience, as I said earlier. Uh, because if you wait, if you study and study, how are you going to make the video? How are you going, you know, you will never you will never start that way. You're just you will just get discouraged because you feel like you you're not good enough, you don't have enough experience, you you know, so just start even though you don't have any experience. Uh the next tick tip I can give you is even though you don't have any views, just keep going, you know, have a set of goal. Like, why are you why did you make that video to be why did you make that YouTube channel to begin with? Uh is it for your own learning or is it for you know if you have do you have a plan of actually becoming a youtuber? Have a set of goal and just keep going. And the views will come uh after a while anyway. Uh so just keep keep uploading, keep making videos, don't get discouraged. Um and of course, while uploading a lot of videos, um, as I said earlier, when I was in last year in the sixth year, I did feel like you know it was uh more of a work, not a hobby. And I pushed myself and I wanted to give up on YouTube. And that is what I also I think is also a really important uh point to to get across is don't give up when you're you know tired, just keep going. It's okay to take a break, uh, but when you take a break, just keep going, keep going back to YouTube. So um, yeah, and yeah, have a set of goal. Like, why did you make that YouTube channel to begin with? For me, it was to teach and uh learn, and that is my primary, you know, uh reason why I'm keep going on the YouTube channel.

SPEAKER_01 28:41

Yeah, well, wonderful tips and advice. Uh I think I think we can all be better at practicing. Well, time we're gonna we're gonna jump into our speed round questions for those who are new to the show or haven't listened to this part. This is where we're gonna we're gonna play a little stinger and then we're gonna ask some answers based on a die roll. So let's go ahead and play that and we'll jump right in. So here we go. All right, we're gonna jump over to our dice cam. So we've got this die here that we're gonna roll, and we've got a couple questions on uh let's see if it can focus. Come on, come on. Ah, my camera doesn't want to focus for whatever reason, but I can tell you it's like a five. It is a six. There we go. I don't know why it's there. We go. It's a six. I don't know what what it's doing with the focus, but there it is. Uh so with number question six, here we go. Um so this is uh share a piece of advice. You've shared a lot of advice with us, actually. That's really great. But what's a piece of advice that you've received that has in has uh had lasting impact on you? Anything that someone said to you that's kind of changed, it doesn't have to be about video, it could be about anything, but anything that's kind of changed you or shaped you as a person.

SPEAKER_00 29:53

Yeah, so I have one thing in my I did receive a lot of uh tips which have changed my life to the better, which have, you know, I've kept uh you know close to my heart. Uh but one thing one tip that really uh helped me uh during my especially during my years of med studying medicine, your physical health is as important as studying uh for your exams. Because when you're under a lot of pressure, sometimes you feel like you don't have enough time to you know focus on your physical health. And when you don't have you don't when you don't focus on your physical health, that impacts negatively on your mental health as well. And you get prawned for depression and exact, you know, all of those things. So one tip that I received was that uh focus on your physical health. Try to you know put in at least half an hour, at least one hour of workout. And if you don't have time to work out, at least you know try to eat um or or or uh lay off those sweets during those uh periods that you're not working out uh to you know keep keep the body uh healthy. And that's a really important tip actually for as a medical uh uh standpoint as well, uh, because when the body is healthy, uh when you know when you're working out you know consistently, your blood flow increase, you know, I guess optimizes your lipid level gets optimized, and all of those things, and your blood supply, your oxygen supply to the brain gets optimized as well, which um which at least optimizes the functioning of the brain. And so that's that's the I I think that's the most important tip that I've received, and I've tried to incorporate it in my into my life as well, is uh keep try to keep working it, uh you know, keep workout within your daily life.

SPEAKER_01 31:45

Well, I love it. So the doctor's orders, we we gotta go if you make sure you're doing that. Make I can't promise you make better videos, but it can help, right? So well, let's do another question here. I don't know again, I don't know why my this camera is not working. Hang on. Try this again. There we go. It's still blurry. So we're gonna go with uh blurry, and everyone's just gonna have to trust me. But there we go. We rolled a 12. Okay, so this is uh the next question for you is what's your one go-to tool that helps you get your job done on a regular basis? This could be a piece of software, it could be a physical piece of gear, it could be anything. We'll we'll we'll focus on your your video creation side, not maybe your medical side, because I'm sure it's a whole different set of tools. But is there one tool or a piece of equipment that you go to as your go-to?

SPEAKER_00 32:36

Yeah, there is. There's one tool that I use for everything, actually. It's uh a to-do list. It's on an app called Microsoft To-do list. And what I like to do uh the day before, so for example, today, I I try to plan tomorrow. So for example, so I try to make it as detailed as possible at to the point where I even write what I am going to eat for breakfast and from what time to what time. So, for example, I'm going to wake up at 5 30 in the morning and from 5 30 to 5 to 6, I'm going to you know, uh take a shower and breakfast, and then you know, keep keep making planning my day uh that way. Um, and it has helped me being more efficient during the day because sometimes some days when I'm I haven't planned anything, you know, I try to be efficient, but I feel like I haven't been efficient at all. Um because everything that I want to do, I haven't had time to do it. So when I have this to-do list, I just you know check off those points, and at the end of the day, I feel like this day has been a really efficient day because I finished off so many points. So Microsoft to do or any to-do list um app, I think everybody's everyone should at least try to incorporate it into their lives. It has helped me being a lot of efficient uh during my studies and work and YouTube and everything. I love it.

SPEAKER_01 34:02

Perfect, great advice. Let's do one more here. It's still gonna be blurry, but that's okay. And we've rolled a five so this time. So, okay, this this is a fun one because you're you've been uh you're a great person of learning, right? So if you could instantly acquire a new skill, like just like that, what would that skill be and why? So you you get that superpower, you get to pick up one skill perfectly instantly. What would it be?

SPEAKER_00 34:35

Uh I've actually, you know, to be honest, I am not a person who picks up information quickly. Um, and I can use my little brother as an example. He's also studying med he he he's he used he studies medicine uh one year uh so I was in you know how is this yeah, how is I'm gonna formula this one? Um yeah, my little brother is also in med school, and my if you want to compare my little brother with me, he's a type who only reads a sentence once and he understands it. Like he just sticks in his brain. I have to uh put in a lot of work. I have to put in a lot of work, I have to study, I have to draw it, I have to visualize it, I have to, you know, I have to do a lot more. Um and so if this one thing I could actually try, uh wish I could acquire is learn information just by reading it once or something like that.

SPEAKER_01 35:32

That would be but that'd be amazing.

SPEAKER_00 35:35

Yeah, but but then again, if if you learn things just you know straight straight away, uh it takes away the hardworking part. If that makes sense.

SPEAKER_01 35:46

Yeah, it does. Well, we'll just say your brother gets the benefit of watching all your videos, though. So, you know.

SPEAKER_00 35:52

Exactly. He just he just reads one page and then start gaming or something.

SPEAKER_01 36:00

He's listening to those videos you made. I I can guarantee it. That's what he does. Well, well, time, this has been uh just a wonderful conversation. I appreciate you spending some time with me. Uh before we wrap up, uh if someone wanted to go watch your videos, go go learn from you, uh, you know, connect with you, where where should they go?

SPEAKER_00 36:18

Uh so obviously it's a YouTube channel. Let's that's uh the main page where I upload all my uh videos. But I did recently make an Instagram account. Uh so if anybody wants to you know contact me, have questions, uh want to follow me on social media, I I have uh an Instagram account for the YouTube channel called Time Talks Med. So go follow it, you know, subscribe to the channel, and uh yeah. That's perfect.

SPEAKER_01 36:48

We'll link to those in in the comments and descriptions and all that stuff. So if anyone wants to find those easily, you can. Well, with that said, Time, uh again, appreciate you so much. Uh, we always like to ask our guests for their final take, kind of that what that summary, the wrap-up for our show for you, Tame. What is your final take from today's conversation?

SPEAKER_00 37:09

Well, just to wrap up uh what I said earlier, is that if you are a student, especially in medical school, and want to teach medicine, I urge you to start without any experience. Just start and then learn along the way. And the beautiful thing about the teaching is that when you teach, you learn more. When you teach, um, your the information that you've learned stays in the brain for a longer period of time, and you can build on that one easier. So teaching is actually the best form of learning.

SPEAKER_01 37:43

Time, this has been fantastic. I want to thank you again for joining me in the Visual Lounge and thank you for all the great videos that you make. And you know, as someone who uh I'm I'm not in the medical field at all, but I do have friends and I understand how challenging it is. I'm I'm sure there's many people who are very appreciative for all the work you're you're doing. So thank you.

SPEAKER_00 38:02
