Mario Gil showing tools of his two passions: video creation and Medicine |
To understand the reasons for his success and the relationship it has with Medicine, Gil explained in an interview with Medical Writing that since I was in high school, this was the profession that the more it caught his attention. “It is a career that has always attracted me and seemed very attractive and interesting to me, so I decided to do it”, she has indicated.
A path that has even led him to be professor at CEU San Pablo University and that, as a result of this experience, has refused the idea that the Interterritorial Council has regarding one of the main problems that Medicine has is the lack of vocational among students.
“It seems to me that they are very motivated and that they really want to study. I think that speaking globally is too abstract and meaningless, but when I see the students that rotate through my service or those that I teach, I get the feeling that they want to study as much as I wanted to. There are many people with desire and vocation ”, she has indicated.
Although the vocation is an ‘extra’ that helps in the learning of Medicine, Gil has transmitted that not always there has to be a vocation to decide to enter the career, but this “can also be created” while it is being studied, as occurs in the different specialties. “I always think that when you access a branch and start to get to know it well, you end up falling in love and believing that you were born for it,” he assured.
“The branch we choose will suit us and we will love it
This recommendation has been transferred to students who are in the last years of their studies and they are doubtful what specialty to choose Thus, Gil has insisted that “they do not have anything closed in advance” because in any field of Medicine that one enters “you will end up liking it”. “It is important to think that rather than being born for a specialty, we physicians choose a branch that ends up adapting to us, and you end up delighted with that”, he emphasized.
With this idea as a professional thread, Gil has ended up specializing in Preventive medicine and public health at the University of Pamplona. One of the mentors he remembers best is Miguel Angel Martinez, among others. A physician who recently received the National Research Award and whom he considers “a very hard-working person with a spectacular team” that helped him to tip the scales towards this specialty. A decision that would later lead him to participate as an epidemiologist in an investigation del FIS at the University of Navarra on the relationship between coronavirus infections between teachers and students.

In addition to his facet as a physician, Gil has been developing his talent in humorous video creation on social networks, where some of them relate them to the dissemination of the health world. At first, he believed that a doctor who uploaded humorous videos “would be frowned upon” because he was “contradictory” with his profession, but his brother, another well-known influencer -night- I tell her boost i needed to take the step
Patients who have recognized you in the consultation
This has meant that some patients recognize in consultation. Although it is true that it is not the usual tonicIt is a situation that he does not “like very much”, since he prefers to have his two professional facets separated. “The times that it has happened to me they usually tell me at the end, and it is true that going in the uniform and working does not make me very happy having to take pictures. But I insist, it is not something that has happened to me a lot, ”she stressed.
Right now, the health dissemination that it carries out is at a “very general” level since it combines it with trivia themesbut thinks this is a “good way” to inform a general public that is not related to Medicine on important aspects of it.
“In mind I have the idea of transmitting information regarding drugs or diseases that help promote information regarding Public Health. I think that sometimes we doctors forget what is general knowledge and what is not, and we talk regarding issues with patients who don’t know regarding it. So, what I try is to explain them in a simple way ”, she has indicated.
Promote the correct use of networks from childhood
Despite these positive aspects that networks provide, there are also some negatives that can affect the psychological well-being due to the hook they cause. For this reason, he has advocated promoting its correct use since childhood and make a healthy use of them in terms of time invested and in how can it affect the mind from each person.
“Another issue is the toxic comments that I have received and that, at first, affected me. It’s hard to see someone who follows you closely take and gut your work from top to bottom looking for bad intentions in everything you do. Although currently it no longer affects me and I have practically no ‘haters’, you have to ignore when they appear if you really want to continue making videos ”, he has transferred.
Even so, Gil wanted to highlight the positive things that the provides the networkssince they are a form of “gross learninghe”. I have learned questions regarding Medicine through popularizers, aspects related to music and even painters and artists”, she has affirmed.
To conclude, Gil sees himself able to continue combining these two facets in the future. Also, as long term projectintends to go deeper into the disclosure sanitary and in write a book on aspects of Public health that are “little known” by physicians related to the life habits.
