    Thank You Dr. Webb, I'm so happy I found your channel! I'll be 34 when applying so at times I get very discouraged. But your videos have helped me tremendously!

    Great video! I am currently in medical school, and as you said my neurology/neuroanatomy teacher, he is 85 years old, believe it or not still does brain surgeries, as he is is neurosurgeon, and sharp as a needle both physically and mentally. When you said “that is a looong time to be practicing medicine” I thought of my professor. And yes it is, a long time to be practicing medicine, but I think it’s what keeps him sharp. He is a great professor, hasn’t forgotten a thing. God bless Dr. Webb.

    I can't hit the like button enough times! I'm a 40 yr old paramedic and I'm working on med school prereq's now. I'm hoping 20 years of EMS experience will help.

    Dr. Webb, One of my classmates started at 56 years old. He graduated and decided to "Family Practice".

    THANK YOU. I am 25 years old and will be turning 26 shortly after I graduate with my associates in nursing. I really had no interest in medicine until I started my nursing journey, started studying, and doing clinicals in the hospitals and learning. I have a burning inside of me to learn about medicine and have become discouraged at times because of my age, and because I chose the nursing path instead of med school. I plan to apply to med school after I earn my bachelors, but that probably won't be until I'm 28 or so. I thank you for posting this video because it has truly encouraged me so much and reminded me that age is just a number.

    It does help thinking about when do you plan to retire. If you see medicine until you retire, you still have plenty of time (in years) to practice
