I love the fact that there are no ads in your interview videos! Means I can sit down and productively engage with the video without any interruptions. Many thanks Ali !

I absolutely love love your accent!! Warm, soothing, strong, confident, just all the good perfect combo of a perfect voice! Love the video! Help a ton!

Charlotte's laugh actually completes me :)

Can't wait for the other medical ethics videos! They're so helpful, can't thank u enough ❤

Got my interview in a few hours and this has really boosted my confidence,thank you!

Dental applicant here not medicine. But i watched all of your videos as part of my preparation and I honestly feel like I would not have done as well and got into my dream university without the help and advice that you guys have offered. Thank you so much I absolutely love all your videos and wish you all the best in your career as a doctor.

Probably the hardest question at medical interviews

So clearly explained - such wonderful guidance Ali!! 😊😊

I am first year med-student and im still watching this video . QUALITY

I am already in medical school and I was watching this video in preparation for a test, this has been so helpful❤️❤️

Excellent work! Love the clarity and well-rounded ideas

Thank you so much!!! Was very useful for my medicine interview prep :) May God Bless You & your wonderful Friends.

I really loved this video! I loved the amount of detail it went to - it was so well explained! The background music was very soothing

Thank you so much for doing this! Extremely clear and helpful, especially with my interview coming up in less than a week.

Ali, this video is actually awesome! Thank you.

Ali you're an absolute star for these videos

I have to say this is bringing my anxiety right down about the MMI. Thank you very much!

nailed it Doctor Ali, keep making such videos, i am medical student myself, applying for residency is US, but this video is apt for USMLE exam patterns too, gives me more motivation to make such videos !!

Probably the most useful channel for aspiring medics# subscribed. Keep up the good work bro.

i saw this video right before one of my interviews, they asked me a question about justice and how you can justify a niche treatment costing 1.7 million. i mentioned how if the treatment gave the child a life expectancy of 70-80 years with each year being a full 30k qualy that would amount to 2.4 million making it worthwile according to NICE. great video thank you

On my third MMI tomorrow, and still learning and growing with your videos- I feel like I’ve gone from an awful first interview to a medium one, and hopefully tomorrow will be even better thanks to you!

Hi, Ali, can you make a video about topics and explain the steps to do medical research in Academic Foundation Year?

Thank you so much this video is amazing!!

Awesome video! Thank you!

Super helpful!

I've always found this to be the most difficult and perturbing area of medicine in a sense that how do you weigh the right reasons in making a decision for the correct decision towards an ill person? With other fields, there is always a grey area or a lack thereof of the concept of morality and ethics and the other party are generally well and healthy so this code of conduct really plays a crucial part in understanding how to behave in the best way towards someone and do your job? Even in real life, our occupational stance runs outside of the workplace and I'd have to agree how you work also shows how you behave in real life. Thanks for the video.

Awesome video Ali! Don't suppose anyone knows the name of the background piano song?

What about discussing further information you would consider eg patient history- is there some medical reason they are overweight that is out of their control? Have they seen nutritionists etc Also discussing the potential cost down the line of them not having the surgery eg needing heart surgery down the line due to high BMI

Hi, when you're answering the question should you structure it as the 4 pillars and say each one in your answer (like say 'in terms of beneficence...')? Or are you not supposed to say the names of the pillars & just use the ideas behind them? (I hope this makes sense)

name dropping pillars is good and i think structuring your response using the pillars is quite good

Great video! However, just after all Oxford med interviews have finished :(

would you say it would make a better answer to name the principles by name, sort of acknowledging that you know there are the main ethical principles, or just talk about them organically and the interviewer will understand that you know them from that? thanks!

Brilliant, thank you!

Hi Ali, great video! Just a quick question, is patient autonomy still applicable to scenarios where the patient is demanding a procedure/treatment that was not offered to them by the doctor? If a doctor assess the situation and concludes that the treatment would cause more harm than good, can they refuse the patient that treatment option since it was not offered to them by the doctor in the first place? I would really appreciate a response, as my first interview is on Monday! Thank you.

If you had 2 patients that need a liver transplant and you had to choose one, what would you choose. Person one - A 30 year old that has damaged their liver by smoking and doing drugs, no family. Could keep smoking even after the transplant risking damaging the new liver. Person 2 - A 70 year old that has always been a very active part of the community, has lots of family, usually healthy.

@@taniyan7322 That's a really good point. Most people would start judging the patient for their health choices, and i think that might be something interviewers would be looking out for, not wanting to train doctors that judge and have biases towards certain patients. I'll definitely keep this is mind if I ever make it to a medical interview! (I'm only 16 but trying to plan ahead to realize my dream)

Hmm not sure if it's the same here in the usa, but the pain waiting behind the justice framework takes a different sort of way to think than I'm capable of doing without a great loss of time which is sometimes absolutely key to helping anyone. They're kind of intersectional I'm gathering. Which makes the situation rather complicated and timed. Still wondering why I decided this would be a great thing to study

What would you do If there is a situation where a patient is a 10 years old girl. Her parents want to get her ovaries removed due to some religious belief but the girl is really scared about the procedure and does not want undertake the surgery because obviously she wants to have children in future. Now, the parents of the girl are forcing this decision because of the religious belief. What would you do as a doctor because as per the gillick competence act, a 10 year old child cannot give consent for a surgery assuming in this situation the girl was not able to pass the capability test. Would you undertake the surgery?

So we always take the patients best interest into account in such situations? So what would we do in the case of a Jehovah's witness? Giving the patient a blood transfusion would be in the patient's best interest, but he/she refuses it because of their religious beliefs.

In the uk the law would be involved and it would require permission from the court for the procedure to be performed. it's hard to envision an argument that would persuade the court that this was in the girl's interest.

Hi Ali! Not sure if you read comments from an old video but I'm hoping you will!! I'm a pre-med student from NZ having my MMI on November. When it comes MMI workshops here they also mention these 4 principles of medical ethics so in terms of preparing for the interview I find that NZ and UK interviews are very alike. But I have one question though - I get that opportunity cost is a good thing to mention under the 'justice' principle but I cant help but think that when a situation is presented to you, mentioning that sort of makes it seem like neglecting the patient presented in front of you (? if that makes sense?) because you're talking about what other things you can do with that money. IDK if I'm making any sense but do we mention opportunity cost just to show that we understand the complexity behind these situations and thats all?
