  • I met your mom. Mrs. Nida. She is very sweet and nice lady. I was trying to buy her condo in downtown Minneapolis. She talked a lot about your and your brother, Jojo.

  • Do you like a brazilian music?

  • Im trying to figure out between the gym and 80hrs a week, where did you get the time to become so immaculate with your playing. I was blown away by your Unthinkable bit. I was just trawlin the interwebs on McKnight's Anytime cover and I got to Alicia Keys and was lik AH! You even put the instrumental sound effects in your playing. I enjoy your music.

  • i like the way you play the piano...... im amazed... great job.... im so happy because your a filipino.......take care bro.....

  • I'm allergic to peanuts too! So I can't enjoy all that chocolate that contains peanuts (some of them just look so delicious like Reese's cups! haha) ....I can also eat other nuts too so I'm grateful for that :)

  • what are you interning in?

  • wow great i am also a medical doctor i am from Brazil in south america and i did get my medical degree from UPE in Recife was thinking of getting my usmle steps out of the way , so that i could do my residency there, i know that i would get one year of credits for having done my residency here already ...

  • @claudioagmfilho hey, yes you should take your USMLE Step 1,2,3 before you apply for residency in the U.S. When you match in the U.S., you unfortunately would have to start from internship again, but at least you'll be a pro by then! :)

  • You seem like a pleasant person. Do you have a pleasant bedside manner? Most doctors I've had through my entire life have been grumpy and condescending. I wish there could be more nice ones....ones that understand that patients know things about the human body too, not just doctors!

  • that's what I actually meant xD I just wrote it a bit different as I meant it ( that sentence sounds weird^^)

  • you're a doctor? ??? I was very surprised...ı just thought you'r a music genius...in fact you'r a real genius....

  • oh my gosh! I don't have an Ipod either! I didn't think I really needed one, since I have the radio and youtube!! lol. I thought I was the only one left in this world without an Ipod. I do have a MP3 player, though, I never use it! ;) Love the facts!

  • oopppsss....sorry....do u know how to speak spanish or tagalog?

  • do u have other race?

  • Hello, hot Dr Jay. Swoons ... ;-)

  • hello, I am a junior in high school and I want to be a pediatrician. I want to know how many year of school you've gone through to be what you currently are. What do I need to get into medical school. Will they look at what I've done while at school or do they care about my grades and GPA and test scores. I would like to know so that when I do graduate I wont have to go and make up for things I didnt do while in HS. I hope to hear from you soon. Thank you so much! I love the compositions u do!

  • u shud aim for as close to a 4.0 to as possible in HS. i've heard anything less than a 3.5 in college would make it hard for u to get in to med school. goo luck.

  • hello. 4 years of undergrad (any major), 4 years of medical school, then 3 years residency for pediatrics. U.S. Allopathic Medical Schools that grant the M.D. do not look at HS grades, only your undergrad GPA and MCAT. Your GPA depends on where you went to undergrad, but to be safe GPA > 3.6 and MCAT > 30 will increase your chances for interviews. Please email me any more ?'s thanks! dr jay

  • hi! hope we could get to hear your own compositions soon Dr. Jay! you got a very infectious smile... God bless u more

  • I'm left-handed just like you.

  • Comment removed

  • galing talaga ng pinoy! great smile dr Jay!

  • hey dr.jay are u filippinO?

  • hello dr.jay! i am currently junior at UT majoring in biochemistry and minoring in spanish. i just have a few questions for you.what did your extra curricular activities consist of? volunteer experience? organizations? are they a must to get into med school? or should i focus more on my GPA and MCAT scores? Thanks for posting this vid! and i look forward to hearing from you soon? hopefully... i know you're a busy guy!

  • thanks for the questions, i'll send a message to you with my answers. -dr jay

  • You have such an adorable smile! It's infectious! lol, I'm actually smiling like an idiot at the computer screen right now, :D I hope you make a lot of these. Thanks for this. XOXO, Katie

  • No kare-kare?! Dang, man. That's the first thing I thought of when you said you were allergic to peanuts. The funny thing is I was wondering where "Dr. Jay" came from because I just stumbled across your page. Figured I couldn't be the only one wondering and that I'd find it here. It's great what you do, by the way. Being a doctor and musically inclined. You get to reach out to people through your profession and through music! For that, I definitely applaud you! Keep it up!

  • you are a very musical medical physician. I hope to become part of the medical field someday haha. When I have questions I will be sure to ask you. =]

    you smiled throughout the whole video!

  • Don't mind jordandelizzard, he wouldn't say those words unless he was jealous of your talent. Keep up the good work and glad you're touching the lives of people through both music and medicine, as a doctor! :)

  • sori nevermind my question...hihihi

    so u dont understand tagalog?

  • Peanuts... it's not a nut right? it's a soy? Anyway, what's up doc?

  • BAT PARANG HIYA KA? SA KULAY MO?

  • pinoy ka ba dr. JAY?

  • his nationality is obviously American.

    his ethnicity is filipino with mix of Basque.

    the name Gorostiza was not given by Spain to filipinos. (Catálogo alfabético de apellidos) so Dr. Jay's claim has some validity. he could really be 1/4 (or less) Spanish.

  • History factoid: During the period after the First Carlist War in Spain (1833-1839), there was a new wave of Basque settlement in the Philippine Islands. Many ventured beyond Manila to places like Laguna and Batangas. These Basque businessmen had surnames: Zubiri, Matia, Menchacatorre, Aldecoa, GOROSTIZA, Menchaca, Eguiluz, Aristegui, Laucirica, Inchausti, Azcona and Nessi-Arrola. My great grandpa Don Pedro de Gorostiza of Laguna was one of them and he is 100% Basque.

  • You're so cute! Gee I wonder what else you can do with your fingers! LOL :D

  • u are nastyyy, lol.

  • Cool pinoy doc! heh ayos!

  • Greetings from New Zealand to you Dr. Jay! We enjoy your video and piano music..

  • Salute you Doc.

  • Omg! You make me proud to be filipino! :D YOU RULE!!!!!!

  • Hey Jay! I feel proud to know you! Judging from the commentary you're kind of a youtube icon, aren't you? :) I know Jay as we're co-interns at Hennepin. It's a big hospital and I run into him maybe 2-3 times a month. But I feel we're close cos we're both Pinoys! We talk Pinoy showbiz and he's just so much fun! Hey thanks for the kind words for Family Practice! Keep in touch esp after we leave HCMC in a few months. Take care! great v-log, and great videos, keep em coming!

  • hey Dr. Famularcano, omg, you're my first co-resident to comment on my youtube video! U now know my alter ego, lol :). Thx for the kind compliments Ate and maybe I'll see you tomorrow night since I'm on call, yea another 30 hours of no sleep! :)

  • Hey Doc....... I just registered on youtube, still new at it and I happened to c 1 of your videos, and i just want to say that you are sooo talented and would like to c more of ur stuff. keep it up DR.

  • ur soooo talented.

  • Vaya con la musica Gallego,Saludos Escoces :)

  • those who don't have a girlfriend/boyfriend. well let me know what your views on that whenever you can. thanks!

  • thx for the comment, I think it's ok to have a social life and date during college/medical school, just don't let the potential drama affect your studies. Keeping a balanced life is key to a healthy lifestyle :).

  • I'm a resident as well, and balance is impossible. Are you family practice?

  • No I'm not FP, but FP residents work very hard, too! :) I've been on 30-hour call every 4th night on tough rotations like MICU and Surgery, working 80 hours/week since November, but you MAKE the time to exercise, eat healthy, and say Hi to family/friends even if it's a short email or call, which they will appreciate a lot! :)

  • HOLY CRAP...wow Dr.Jay I just read the comment you wrote to me just right now after a week or so hahah kinda late but wow a doctor degree in medicine?? that's insane. My roommate and I have a long way to go. We're here at Virginia Commonwealth University hoping to get into MCV. (if you've heard of that school) ohh may I ask did you go through college with or without a girlfriend? because i'm seeing a trend that usually people with a gf/bf in college usually tend to not succeed as successful as

  • wow! and so you're a filipino pala?..(",) how nice to be heard that the great pianist i've ever watched here is a filipino...???..hhhmm anyway you're so great great pianist dr. jay.. and i think "Nasa iyo na ang lahat ng dreams mo"..hope you'll understand it! hehe..goodluck!

  • whaaaat?! no kare-kare [spell check]? thats one of my favorite dishes. oh well.. youre hella dope on piano tho. high five!

  • when you need a doctor to diagnosed you alignments just holla......lol...On the real side you a very talent pianist...I wished you the best at being a medical doctor...Create a cure that can heal a lot of people... You definite have the brain... May God continue to bless you. I truly wish you the best... Whatever you do make sure you hook up with a womant that is completly on your level.

  • why does every filipino claim that they are spanish? lol..dont filipino have a culture?

  • haha, I'm VERY proud of my Filipino culture and blood...but being Spanish is not a claim, it's a fact, lol...my maternal great-grandpa (Don Vicente Gorostiza) is Basque. Search my cousin on youtube Fiona Gorostiza (newsreporter) and she shows our Spanish side more 'phenotypically,' lol :)

  • mrefugia, ignorance is a very dangerous thing. Be careful, especially when the whole world can read your your unintelligent comment. The Philippines was colonized by the Spaniards, that's why many Filipinos have Spanish last names. If you've ever heard of Ferdinand Magellan- the first person to circumnavigate the world- he was killed in the Philippines. Moreover, the Americas were also colonized by the Spaniards, of which the Mexicans, Central, and South Americans also have Spanish last....

  • good then..i dont know why is complicated..its either your filipino or not, or spanish?..we are not talking about our grandfather and greatfathers and such, of course they came from somewhere, indo-malay lol.. our parents are not spanish are they? i am 1/4 lee + 1/4 castillo + 1/2 refugia..yet im filipino.i have travelled half of the globe so dont tell me to step it out.its just annoying how people mumble about there self which is irrelevant to who they really are.i hope this is the end of disc.

  • he is american (nationality) and filipino. (ethnicity). he is being precise of his origin. filipino, basque, spanish.

    kinna like Chantal Kreviazuk. she is canadian (nationality) and caucasian. (ethnicity) she is ukrainian-indian-french.

  • ...names, as a result. They, however, still speak Spanish and have kept more of the Spanish culture than the Filipinos, so i don't know what you're talking about. The Filipinos have a rich culture. The Philippines has 7,100 islands, of which many of them basically have their own dialects, cultures, and foods. If you step out of your little world, you will hopefully find this out.
