A short excerpt from Ndubuisi 'Andy' Egwim's YouTube video arguing that early, smaller financial mistakes (thousands of pounds) are preferable learning experiences to much larger mistakes (hundreds of thousands of pounds) later in a medical professional's career. He addresses doctors at various seniority levels and frames expensive losses as teachable moments tied to future earning potential.
Said is an expensive mock. It's a very expensive mock. The money lost, I think it's a very expensive mock. But the thing is, I say to people because I've had doctors, consultants, GPs, even junior doctors who said I wish I knew earlier. They sent me a message I wish I knew earlier. And I said to them, well, now you know me and it's better to make or I don't mean you know me, but now you know what we teach, but it's better to make the mistake in thousands of pounds than in hundreds of thousands of pounds because you're going to make more money in the future. I've seen like doctors make losses that cost them hundreds of thousands of pounds just because the more money you make, the more potential you have to make massive mistakes. So in a way, I'm not saying it's a good thing, but in a way.
