@@terramerc733 i heard of a tweet from a woman named Karen who was complaining that video games shouldn't be blamed for kids being violent, bad parenting and the school environment should; i thought that was a classic case of the "Karen" meme being turned on its' head
Fact about the Internet: EVERY person with a big audience who makes statements about controversial topics receives death threats. I know it's fucked up but that's how it is unfortunately
As a patient (and nurse), I don’t care how you look, I care about your bedside manner, knowledge, and honesty. When a doctor tells me that something is out of their scope of practice and sends me to someone else, I appreciate that honesty. I’m surprised people are so shallow about your looks.
I wish doctors would listen. I miss having one that listens to me and takes me seriously. Especially since I got hit by a car and got crappy care at my local hospital the day I was hit.
I had a kinda scary-looking woman who was a WONDERFUL GP and i have one current specialist who is petite and beautiful and i love her too! "Looks" count for precisely zero in what makes a good doctor.
Well said! My own doctor is an average-good looking man, but young enough to be my son. I only notice his looks so I can say hello to him if I see him outside the office. But it's his knowledge, his willingness to listen to his patients, including his senior ones (like me), and his willingness to research anything he's not sure of, or to ask another doctor if that's what needs to be done.
It’s actually really beneficial for his platform that he’s as attractive as he is. He catches attention and then people actually learn something. I’m glad that he’s been able to stay as humble and real as he has with all the attention. That can’t have been easy.
For me, he may be attractive, but all these years, I never bothered watching. Until recently, when I realized how nerdy, cute, wholesome and dorky he is. THAT is why I'm here now. His attractiveness is just a fun bonus. lol And how much he loves Bear like a child. That's just as huge for me.
@@nicholrw8260 That’s fair, and I’m definitely not a pay attention to pretty person. It was his personality and information for me too. I was saying that it’s beneficial for those who are drawn by the attractive factor to still get valuable information.
i'm short, a female, brown, thin, look younger than my age, and an attorney. i always get confused for an interpreter, a paralegal or just a kid walking around lost in the courthouse. but i'm an attorney, and it's nice to see their faces change when they realize they've made a a wrong assumption about me....
huh, I imagine it can be beneficial to have your surroundings already in the mindstate of "oh, I was wrong, I could be wrong about things" when you proceed to do attorney things.
@@naya3253 absolutely nothing.... But because i am not an old white man noone expects me to be the lawyer. And because I'm latina they automatically assume im there to translate.
"Why did you become a doctor when you could have been a model?" If nothing else, the job security's better. A doctor who is 45 years old can still be a doctor.
Maybe someone wanted to do the other thing. I learned that after asking my doctor why he wanted to be a pediatrician (he got a full ride to medical school and could have done anything). He just wanted to be a pediatrician.
@@hollyshane2604, there are plenty of personal reasons to become a doctor, and I don't intend to belittle any of them. I just thought it was worth pointing out that there are practical reasons to choose doctoring over modeling that apply across the board.
A model’s career is much shorter. I would say after late 30’s is much harder for a man to get a job as a model, at least in the catwalk, and in the 40’s it becomes harder to get a job anywhere.
@@camillatruquesdebeleza7086 You could take over the job from your employers when you get to that age. There are also plenty of commercials featuring middle-aged people. But yeah, that your opportunities shrink is basically a given. I think with the elder-wave hitting 1st world countries today, we'll see more and more opportunities arise from that though, if you can stay ahead of competition in your career.
He seems so warm. His energy. It’s so warm. Even when his veins are popping out of his neck. I just wanna give him a pre-quarantine hug. He seems nice lol.
I am a female physician, and I am sorry I have not discovered your channel until now! I had to laugh at your last discussion about being “too beautiful“ to practice medicine. I found that as soon as I started getting my gray hair, I was basically finding that patients were more easily taking my recommendations, I would hear a lot more “whatever you think is best doc“ , “ I trust you doc”. Ageism at its best!😄 now that I am all gray, I have colored my hair magenta!😆
That checks out lol...even for male doctors. I had a relatively old doctor (Dr. Weisser) who retired, then I switched to a younger one, around 35 years of age. I just don't trust him as much as I did the other guy. But then again, that may be psychological since I had my previoous doctor for the past 15 years.
Do you consider some of that comes with the appearance of gray hair as the impression that you are now more experienced in the field? There is something to be said for experience. No offense, but if I am in a hospital, or a walk in clinic, and was asked if I wanted to be seen by the 28 yr old only out of med school now for a year, or a 48 yr old that theres a 30 minute wait for, depending on the level of pain, I might patiently wait for the person that I perceive as the more experienced in their field. Now is that fair? Maybe not fully, but experience cant be discarded either. There is absolutely fields where ageism is a poor thing to decide a decision on, but medical input, maybe not.
While this is an excellent point, there very much is another end of that spectrum too. While all doctors are required to do continuing medical education, it's more likely that the younger doctors would have the most up to date medical knowledge. For example, a surgeon who recently completed their residency might know less invasive techniques that have been recently developed, which could lower your pain, recovery time, or even likelihood of fatality. An older surgeon on the other hand might not be capable of performing such a procedure since it's harder to keep up with new techniques when you're also busy practicing medicine and engaging in outside life. While I understand we all have our own biases, the best approach in my opinion would be to evaluate each doctor individually on how well they are treating you/ taking your concerns seriously. My best experiences are usually those where the first half hour is spent just discussing everything before beginning any sort of examination, and my outcomes from doctors where this has been the case have been phenomenal. @@Canadagraphs
Very impressive to see someone balance SO much on their plate, and with grace. You don't get enough credit. Hope wearing a mask is helping a bit with the anonymity!
Julie Is cool ok you didn’t have to be so rude. I literally did nothing to you. Why are you coming at me with all that hatred? It’s literally pointless.
"Why be a doctor when you couldve been a model?" I hate it when people put you in a box based on what they see on the outside. You could be either or you could be both and that's a call that only you can make. It's up to you to be who or what you want to be and I hate the fact that many people still don't get that. Ughhhhhhh
And besides such an question says a lot about the idiocy of the person asking it. Has their priority wrong big time. Beauty is vanishing, intelligence - not necessarily.
See i understand the question differently. I feel like they are trying to say that a model earns more money and they think its an easier job so why wouldn't person want to do that compare to being a doctor, which is hard and high pressure job.
@@ZuziFox Agreed. I think the nature of the question is more in line with the thought that anyone can become a doctor... with a decade of hard work (and I know even that's not really true) but very few people have the natural gifts to become a model, and that seems to take WAY less effort.
As a women so many times I’ve tried to get a job as a painter or anything that is male dominated and they just look me up and down and say “you do realize this is hard work….” I’ve had painting companies tell me they loved that I had experience but decided to go with men. Idk why people have to be so judgmental all the time! I love your videos. I love smart people! We need more people like that in the world.
What you just described the up and down look thing, is actually called elevator eyes, and can be considered sexual harassment. So let people know what you know, what you are ready, able and willing to do, and let the best company and people win!
I did construction for years when I was in my 20’s. I hung drywall. I was surprised that I never had to deal with ignorance. It was a little hard to work when men from other crews would stare at me though. Other than that, I enjoyed it. I had a boss tell me that I was one of his best workers. I think that’s because women are probably more about perfectionism. I dont know. I was quick & good at my job. It felt good to get acknowledged without anyone bringing up my looks. 😊
I work in a hardware store and sometimes customers ask for male employee, or don't listen to me even though I have the answer and my collegue does not, it angers me so much. Ok I can't lift something which is my weight but I know my limits and have skills, knowledge and brain >_
‘Why did you become a doctor when you could’ve been a model? I really hate those type of questions. I get them sort of the other way around. I’m a bus driver. I’m also fairly smart. People often ask me questions like ‘Why’d you become a bus driver when you could’ve become a lawyer or a doctor?!’ ‘If I was that smart I would’ve never become a bus driver, but I would’ve definitely go on to study something important!’ (first of all I think my job is equally as important... I’m the one driving the nurses and doctors safely to their work) ‘You could make so much more money if you become a doctor or a lawyer!’ etc. You wanna know why I became a bus driver? ‘Cause that’s what I wanted since I was a little girl. I love my job. I don’t wanna be a doctor. I don’t wanna be a lawyer. I wanna drive a 60ft bus around the city, so leave me be. Become a doctor or lawyer yourself if you want, but don’t try to guilt trip me in going back to school, to do something I don’t love.
Exactly, if you're a mechanic, congratulations, someone will get to work the next day thanks to you, if you're a dishwasher, good job, someone will enjoy a meal because of you, if you're a miner, great stuff, many pieces of jewelry and electronics will be made just for your work, every single profession was made to contribute something, but people stopped seeing it...
@@zoeodiachi9282 - I wish these jobs paid higher salaries too. The world needs them to function - you'd think their compensation would reflect that. :/
I had the most devastating thing said to me the other day when I told my grandma I wanted to become a doctor. She told me "you need to go for a more realistic job" and "you aren't capable of it". This hurt so much because EVERYONE in my family has been pushing me to go to school and to get a job and when I FINALLY decided I wanted become a doctor, they shot me down. It really, really hurts to hear that especially from family members. After hearing the last part of this video I realized that I shouldn't give up. I should prove my family wrong!
Instead of doing it eith the mindset to prove them wrong, do it because it's something you want to do. My family isn't supportive either, but when I focus on what they think even if it's "im not going to be like you" or "im going to prove your wrong" im giving them too much importance and wasting time thinking about them even if it's to show them up. Distancing yourself from downers is honestly the healthiest.
Dr. Mike, I've been on this planet for 65 years, and I am so thankful that we have doctors like you! I am seeing more and more young doctors, particularly D.O.s, practicing family medicine with empathy, truthfulness and kindness. The WORLD NEEDS doctors like you! Keep up the good work! Your parents must be very proud of you!
I am with you. I was just talking about this very topic. I was saying how much so like the young doctors. They talk with you much more freely. It has finally go into med schools that patients are whole people. It shows.
It actually is! Because if you were picked on your whole life and you become successful they would see you and possibly stop bullying other people because they don't want it to happen again.
A decade ago I was in a severely abusive relationship in which I was told very frequently that I was incredibly dumb and wouldn't amount to anything. Now I'm a college grad with a Bachelor's degree and ended with a GPA of 3.9. Proved him wrong.
I once failed an interview for housekeeping because the hiring Director felt that "it would be a waste for someone with my looks to work as a cleaner". At the time I was really poor and was struggling to eat, but I was happy I could apply for a job that not only was well paying but also I knew I would genuinely like since I absolutely love cleaning. So imagine my shock and disappointment when the only reason given to why I wasn't hired was because she felt that it would be a waste for my looks. Like ma'am, my looks will neither feed me nor keep me happy wth? 😅
Her looks get her the job she had and she look at you as some one that would take her job away form her and she needs to me the good looking one to make her feel better i hope you get a job that look at you as a person and not just a good looking person but a good person
The way I see it she was afraid you wouldn't stay long because you can do better when it comes to jobs. I was turned down because I was too qualified and they were right I wouldn't have stayed long. All the best to you!
This man's enthusiasm and energy for what he does...no wonder why he's as popular as he is. Doctor, stay the course cause it's working for you on so many levels.
I avoided my family care doctor and my annual pap. Till this past December at 24 years old, I finally went to them and found precancerous cells on my pap, and discovered I can't gain weight due to thyroid issues. Dr Mike you're the reason I decided to go to the doctors again. Thank you!
@@huss1054 you're 10. Kids your age usually weigh around 25-45 kg range. You might be skinny but you most probably don't have thyroid. Eat well since you're in the growing age.
@Picolas Cage there are many kinds of models. He could be a fitness model. Also there are more brands that cater to different lifestyles now. Being skinny is definitely still the case for runway models though...
I've heard doctors, particularly gynecologists, hate it when people ask if they get turned on while examining an attractive woman. I assumed that would be the most offensive.
As a black teen willing to be a future doctor, that part you talked bout proving people wrong actually helped me a lot ... I hope I become a doctor like you
Can you imagine if Dr Mike was your actual doctor?? You have the flu and you stroll in all congested with a fever and Dr Mike walks in? I would be dead. LOL.
Actually I would ask him if he's willing to try it. Well. The thing I want/need and he could maybe provide if I was to also make him happy? It would make me feel good inside
3:15 Hi doctor mike, could you also put audio to these questions? My friend is blind and loves watching your videos I actually found out about you from her, but things like this can be a bit annoying sometimes- great video as always tho :)
@@jhonnysnd_cebu39 that video was factually correct, as well as unbiased. If you don't like hearing painful facts, don't watch a doctor's TH-cam channel.
One of the most amazing thing I like about Mike is the fact he is always worried about how to be good referent not only for the "influential" status he has, but he still worried we got the right information and properly advised us also, you are one on your kind Mike! keep that work!
0:38 - Are you even a real doctor? 2:03 - Do people ask you questions on the street 3:13 - How do you approach sponsorships? 3:52 - How do patients feel about your fame? 5:56 - Are there downsides to having a lot of followers? 8:08 - Will you ever stop being a doctor? (+ Most degrading question)
My grandma said that she felt compelled to become a psychiatrist after her teacher in med school failed her saying "that was ok but you're not pretty enough to pass so you need to be double as smart". She felt insulted for herself, for her fellow students, and decided that she is gonna ace everything so that none can question her abilities. Savage woman. I didn't have that much strength as her but I still turned it out somehow :) Now I am a SysAdmin in IT so a male field as well. Previously I was IT Helpdesk Lead and had 8 guys, most of them younger, answer to me. At first people would come into the room and try to talk to the oldest guy in the room, or at least A GUY, and they would always direct those people to me or ask me what to do. Long story short when I was leaving that company I was nicknamed "IT Queen", almost everyone knew me but not our manager, and dozens of people predicted dark times.. xD
When my mother was in high school she had a friend in her grade who's school counselor told her she couldn't be a nurse bccause "people like you(Hispanic) can't handle it" (This was 1950). So the young woman went to nursing school anyway, passed of course, took her diploma and went back to the school in full white uniform, and waved the document in front of the counselor, saying "See! See?"
My HS counselor told me in 1966 that, as a girl, I had no business applying to university, since I could only get a job as a secretary. I became a National Merit Finalist, valedictorian at graduation, and received a Regents’ Scholarship to UCLA (as well as scholarship offers from two other universities). I guess I showed him.
This made me really happy when you said “Prove people wrong with your results” I’m currently in a welding program and I always wanted to do it for long time, however I was female and all the guys would treat me like I’m hopeless person, I had to prove to myself that I was better than what they thought, I studied everyday to get good grades and I tired really hard. Now they always ask me for help. It very true I never relate to something so strongly.
That's so awesome! I really want to try carpenter and welding, but I literally hate when guys think because your around them they should be able to hit on you like. I literally am trying to learn here I didn't want try a field to talk to you! And backhanded compliment are the worst like I'm going to do this because I want to and I don't need you to tell me anything.
Being a female in a typically male job is hard. Just keep your head up and keep working for your dreams. Block the negative comments. It's your life, make yourself happy. It's also a step forward to get more females in the trades or male dominated jobs. Some days will be harder than others but f**k the noise. Great work ladies! You don't need a man and kids to be happy.
As a female in computer science, I deal with people not taking me seriously too. I’d also consider myself relatively good looking (Not to be prideful, I really don’t place any value on it), and it seems like job interviews never really go well because people don’t think of me as a professional person. Thank you for speaking up about this! I love the way you approach social challenges like this.
I feel you there..I work in IT (which is still male drive) and I can tell you that I am constantly dismissed by male coworkers or not picked for project. When I went to school for computer science I was usually the only female in my classes. Not to mention the sexual harassment that goes on. That was 18 years ago. It really sucks.
I'm a male, not a femministe of course, but why... why people have this kind of problem? You gained this role as every normal people did, so why don't take that person seriously? It's quite sad
@Pro Semite I have and to a female boss. Still falls on deaf ears. I just get the whole you have to learn to deal with it speech. She has to deal with it so I guess I have to deal with it too. I'm just over it. I'm tired of the battles and I'm done. Doing my time and moving on with my life.
I am a more feminine boy who has not finished puberty so the lads don’t want to hang out with me and I don’t want to hang out with the girls so I kinda understand?
I love your description of family medicine. I am a registered nurse with ICU background and I do case management amd clinical navigation now for the uninsured and underinsured and link them to community health resources. You guys are the unsung heros of medicine. You literally see it all and manage care and send to appropriate specialty and then put it all together after you get 5 different reports from specialists. Plus the amount of teaching you do on top of it all! literally paused this video after you talked about family medicine to comment this.
I am a nursing student, I am 21 years old. I have had my intelligence questioned & my looks picked apart by my peers. Already in my first month of school. Thank you for talking about that topic. It was very reassuring to me, that I can be serious & smart and still be young.
Don’t listen to people, people can be so ignorant sometimes, I think it’s awesome to be a nurse! We need them! Nurses don’t get enough credit.. Nurses are smart as well...We all can’t be doctors..
It feels sooooo good when you prove everyone wrong though. When I was in high school I decided to join the wrestling team. I wasn't fat, but not super muscular either. "Husky" is the right term I guess. My teammates underestimated me and berated me right from the start. What they didn't know is that my dad was a professional cage fighter, and that I probably knew as much or more about grappling and submission techniques. What I didn't know was the rules when it comes to wrestling. So when everyone saw my first sparring partner(who was a bit bigger and more muscular than me)on the ground in tears from an arm bar everyone gave me the respect I deserved...and coach wasn't too happy about his star wrestler getting wrecked, and explained to me that you couldn't do moves like that in that style of wrestling. I only lost two matches that season as a brand new wrestler. Be open to criticism, but never disrespect.
I remember people used to laugh when I said I wanted to be a nurse because I am an immigrant with a very thick accent. Guess what? I became a LPN and decided to keep going to school and as now I am a BSN- RN working in an intensive care unit and I am also a family nurse practitioner student ... so if I did you could absolutely do it !!!
I truly respect how you are NOT sitting telling your TH-cam viewers that ‘I’m not really famous…’ I respect that you are actually honest about having a large following. I respect that you are open and honest about being popular and that you use your fame to make your medical career better! I’m so sick of false modesty! I’m so sick of the bullshit that is usually spouted by ‘influencers”! You are an honest, standup guy. Your medical career is the most important thing to you, and you use your platform to inform. Well done Doctor Mike, well done 🥰
@@DodgeThatAttack dumbasses think whoever goes along with the so-called "mainstream version" is corrupt or dishonest. People never think what they have been told is wrong, blaming others of dishonesty is easier.
It seemed to me that he was hesitant pointing out the death threats. So I don’t know if it was nothing for him. And I’m so sorry for him that he gets those threats... I mean, he spent like 10 years studying to be a doctor, to SAVE LIVES. And ironically, people give him death threats for it... What kind of people are so miserable, so sick to do that? They need help.
@@sandra6790 there are several groups of people who won't listen to medical/scientific/general facts and are offended by them. Those are incapable of having a discussion because they are brainwashed or too proud to admit that they might be wrong, or misguided.... Trump supporters, Creationists, Pro-Lifers, Anti-Vaxxers, Anti-LGBTQ+, religious extremists, should I go on?
The most common one I’ve had is “you’re not going to give me the drugs I want? I’m going to wait for you outside and kill you.” Workplace violence is real for doctors and nurses.
Unfortunately, due to too many celebrity docs who have used the title on public media or have written books giving health advice without medical training, the general public have become uncertain if the advisors are actually medically licensed. It's comforting to be reassured that you are a true medical doctor.
Here are the things I know about Dr. Mike outside of being a doctor: - He plays basketball - He has nephews - He donates to charities - He's a dog lover
I find another common addition to the entire “attractive must equal dumb” is that nurses only start in the field to marry a doctor! ESPECIALLY if you are considered “conventionally attractive!” This can also create another degree of detrimental separation within the healthcare team if one of the members within that team have this mentality. Nurses, respiratory therapists, social workers, etc are NOT necessarily less intelligent than the doctors on a team; they merely have a different role within that team whose goal should be to work together for the best possible outcome of the patient!!
Mani32, nurses go to a specific school that is based on evidence based practice, the same as doctors, but geared with a different scope and philosophy. Nursing school is also shorter than medical school. Fun fact, nursing is considered one of the most difficult degrees to obtain in the American collegiate system.
All the time! It's always "you can't help me, I want the doctor". Like yes I can answer your questions about your medications or about your test results. I have gone to school for this too as well as have worked in the field for 7 years now. I dont have a doctorate but I do have a medical degree of my own. There's also the fact that people just with nursing is a step to being a doctor. While for many it could be, nursing is a valid degree and career choice in its own right. I am allowed to want to stop at the title nurse, however that looks to those with the degree. A CNA can strive for being a RN without ever considering becoming a Nurse Practioner, or even beyond that.
Aww thanks for your public service Doc. I always joke that I like for all my practitioners to be good looking- except for the OBGYN! 😆 Seriously though, thank you for the research and time you put into educating us. For someone to sift out the nonsense for you is like someone taking out that yucky skin that cream makes in my chai! Eww! I feel hugged and cared for so I am sending you 10 hugs for each trollish message you get. As for death threats ... if I'm first on the scene do you know what I will do? Chest compressions, chest compressions, chest compressions! I gat you boo! 😍😅
I have to do that all the time. My size has led to discriminatory comments. I’m small at 5’3”. When inquiring and then doing male-dominated things, I basically get laughed at. I’ve been told on countless occasions, “Are you sure you can handle it?” No other conversation has taken place, but people assume that because I am small that I can’t do anything requiring physical strength.
NOT RELATED BUT HI THERE, IT’S NOT TOO LATE TO REPENT, BUT SOON IT WILL BE. YOU’RE NOT PROMISED TOMORROW, REPENT AND ACCEPT JESUS AS YOUR LORD AND SAVIOR.

hi Dr mike, am commenting all the way from tanzania-africa, iam really inspired by u doctor mike...and i hav been a lot in ur videos for years, even though medicine practice differs a lot frm africa to US but we mainly fight for the main aim that is providing and giving out the best of our selves in insuring that we save patients lives.. so as a clinical officer in tanzania i totally embrace ur words of staying happy and healthy, hence i commented in this video not expecting a reply bt i wish u continue to inspire us all over the world, i wish we could get to contact each other and share our medicine practices knowledge from our part to urs and create many more successful and mind blowing video contents for many more all over africa THANKS A LOT AND SORRY FOR THE LONG CAPTION😊🙌
I’ve noticed comments can be vicious whenever a mention of a gf pops up. I never really thought of people going as far as emailing your friends. That’s scary. I sent you a picture on IG that was passed around my nursing group of a sponge being used as cardioversion paddles on a medical drama and felt weird about it after 😂 I can’t even imagine ...
As a hairstylist I often get “you have a degree in history and religious studies and you do hair, wow those are complete opposites!” I may “just do hair” but I do know that’s not what opposite means lol. I even had a fellow stylist say to me “I knew you weren’t like the rest of them, you’re clearly very intelligent.” After finding out my degree. That’s so extremely insulting to my friends/coworkers, not flattering to me at all no matter if that was her intention or not.
I think it’s pretty cool that until a few days ago tattoo artists were required by law to have a medical practitioner license. Parents definitely can’t say they’re throwing away their life
Everyone can’t be a makeup artist/hairstylist.. To be a great hairstylist/makeup artist is pure talent, gift from god.. Professional makeup artist/hairstylist in nyc make more then “history/religious” majors.. History/religion is taught.. Art is pure talent.. Big difference..
Tovah Except hair styling can be and is taught?? The concept of ”talent” is kinda shitty anyways, sure some people learn faster or pick things up easier but that would imply there’s ”talentless” people who can never succeed at whatever it is no matter how hard they try and that’s just untrue. Saying someone is ”talented” is also unjust to them, they’ve put a lot of effort and time into developing that skill and implying it’s just some natural talent they possess discredits all that work
Just a note...when Dr. Mike says “they’re being unethical” he’s not speaking about the person asking (they didn’t make an oath to “do no harm”)...he’s speaking of the doctor who may chose to answer that persons question. It seemed a bit unclear to me as he spoke, so I just wanted to clarify that. I have a license and that happens all of the time!
Putting a licensed professional in a position where they could slip up and provide advice or direction that would make them liable to damages seems pretty unethical to me. Even if both parties mean well in their actions, it doesn't make one or the other more or less 'right.'
Texas Tiger yea...most people really don’t mean to be and just don’t think of it as ill-mannered. And some even get a little pissy when I tell them I won’t diagnose them at a party...on the street...in bed...wherever. (Ok...the last one was a joke, but it happens almost anywhere). And howdy from Texas (Dallas).
I can’t tell you how many people have told me that I can’t be a doctor because I’m a woman. As if I can’t be a doctor AND be a good wife and mother. When I say I want to go to medical school they all say don’t you want to be be a nurse instead?! Did I stutter?
Thank you for being here, and being so positive, honest and available to us with your well studied and applied wisdom and knowledge… I learn so much and trust you, mostly because you communicate so well. I feel safe learning and I’ve recommended your channel to both of my sons who are 18 and 20. They are now learning too.
Lol, I actually think it’s the other way around. In this society, beautiful people are taken way too seriously - movie stars, models... that’s why they put them on the cover of things, marketing. Unfortunately, it sells. Beautiful things are commodities.
That is not great advice. You should definitely work hard, but you need to show what you are doing and why it's important. There are lots of people who tune out the noise of your work.
I watch your vids a lot I have learnt so much from you and it is so nice to feel like I can trust u as a doctor because quite a few people online who tell false information so it’s comforting to know that whenever I’m looking at you vids you aren’t telling false information and in fact just trying to help
I dress in jeans and an old t shirt, look like a "hick" or a dumb jock. Was part of the only 8 way tie in my college's history for top graduate by GPA with a perfect 4.0. The president of the college did a double take when he was introduced to me. Shattering social assumptions is an intoxicating feeling.
I'm covered in tattoos, dress in punk/rock t-shirts, cargos, and really into fitness, and pursuing my PhD in experimental health psychology with a focus on self-destructive behavior.
I have bright colored hair, tattoos, and over 15 piercings. I dress like your typical emo/alternative girl, but I identify as nonbinary so it gives people a nice double take (like, I get "hey sir - ma'am - uh. person" all the time and it's so funny). I love telling people im studying aerospace engineering 😂 it's the best fucking feeling. (also congrats on the 4.0!)
Most of us feel bad because people think we are not attractive. Dr mike knows he looks good but he is still offended when people ask him why he became a doctor because he looks good. He’s not offended because they are saying he’s so beautiful or handsome. He’s offended because they are implying that good looking people are dumb or should only have careers in modeling. If he’s smart and wants to be a doctor then he should be able to do that. I’m actually really proud of him for saying that. It proves that looks aren’t everything whether you look good or not.
I am a board-certified anesthesiologist, 20+ years. You have NO idea how offensive it is to have to explain, sometimes multiple times a day, that I am a physician. That I have a degree from an accredited medical school. That the surgeon and I were classmates (well, that only happened twice). That, functionally, yes I'm a drug pusher but my role in any patient's care is infinitely more important. BTW, no one has ever mistaken me for a model. They've instead mistaken me for housekeeping, patient transport, customer service, administration--- occasionally, another will assume I'm a nurse. It is not my intention to minimize the various roles any person may assume on a hospital staff, but I had the same education you did.
I have high regard for anesthesiologists. There are so many factors you have to keep in mind for every procedure, lot of math and calculating what is needed to safely anesthetize a patient and keep them at a consistent level.
See thats shocking to me. During the brief period that i wanted to be a doctor, I specifically wanted to be an anesthesiologist because I thought that was one of the coolest jobs around. I mean, your job is the only thing that makes surgery POSSIBLE. Without you, every operation would be an absurdly traumatic and horrifying experience that probably ends in death 3 out of 4 times from shock, rushed work causes issues, and accidents due to thrashing patients screaming till their vocal cords shred. Yeah the surgeon able to treat a blood vessel in the brain about to rupture may get all the glory, but you are the only reason it can even be tried in the first place.
alright lets go walk down gang areas, they all dress the same but hey, can't jump to conclusions, right :P (btw i know the core message this is just a joke)
Thank you for addressing the stereotypes associated with being a professional and also being physically attractive. I’ve found in a lot of my jobs that when I progress quickly, other people automatically assume that I must be sleeping with the boss. This type of thinking fuels the assumptions that 1) women can’t progress like men professionally unless they’re sleeping their way up the ladder and 2) that all of my hard work means nothing. So I appreciate you passionately addressing the fact that attractive people can be smart too and can succeed based on their brains, not just their looks.
Yes. I don't have that problem professionally, but if you're an attractive woman who is into geek culture (comic books, sci-fi, superhero movies, etc.), you get an incredulous reaction. Apparently, nerds/geeks can't be attractive either. :(
I'm a man and what I hate the most about that assumption is the victim blaming.Because everytime someone assumes an attractive woman"slept with the boss"they *NEVER* imply that THE BOSS should be fired because he sexual harassed that woman,they always talk like the woman did everything by herself and the boss had no responsibility whatsoever.And,to be clear,I ALSO mean that when talking about women who *actually* make the 1st move...if you're a responsable professionist AND a decent person *you-just-REFUSE!* If a woman tells you she wants to sleep with you to get a job YOU-SAY-NO!And if you don't, you get at least 50% of the blame!😤
Sometimes, we forget that these "beautiful" people has their own struggles too. Everyone just assumes that good looking people don't even have to try and they just need to look pretty, as if that's all they got. I have a friend who experienced a similar struggle. She was the prettiest in our team but our co-workers often have these side comments whenever she achieved something remarkable and eventually got promotion. They always assume that she got it because she "slept her way through it to the bosses" to make it. Freaking disgusting and disrespectful at the same time, her looks that supposed to be a good thing became her biggest disadvantage in everything she does because it always voids her hardwork. Luckily, she transferred somewhere else with a better environment that actually recognizes her capabilities, and not just being looked at as "another pretty face".
@FIFA07Pro Wtf. That’s not the message the original comment was trying to make. Stop making this about something else when it’s not important to the video or comment. It’s annoying when people do that.
I was very pretty at a young age and was bullied and had a lot of misinformation thrown away because my female peers wanted to eliminate the competition.. and I was used as a trophy then a person by my boy friend. Now I'm fat and I can definitely see the difference , being beautiful people are nice to your face but your objectified .. when your average or ugly.. half the time you don't even exist. I was myself the whole time and I hated this contrast . My husband never treated me differently skinny or fat he always said I was beautiful, and treated me the same way .. we were best friends in high school. Not saying you can't be attractive fat but I don't find it appealing and make strides to be healthy , I just made a lot of poor eating choices and stopped working out that I have to make up for . I hate it but I do the same thing .. if someone isn't all that appealing to the eye i tend to distance myself unintentionally.. its nature to reject things you don't have any gain from
Being pretty certainly makes things easier in life, but being too pretty or attractive will most likely end in getting too much attention. That can end in two ways and it can be either too good or really bad.
@D Boogman I don't understand, what is your point? Are you saying someone should have the Right to send death threats to a doctor, or that we should be able to find the sender of such letters and arrest them? What is the connection?
The Noisy Spectator I think he’s saying that because most of the population viewing is in the US, and the US has freedom of speech, and everyone abuses that freedom, that’s the reason that he’s receiving death threats. I could be wrong though
Not quite the same thing but I was hesitant to get into the trade field because I had the assumption that many of the people in that field were "meatheads." And granted many of the people are more shall we say... Gruff, some of the smartest people I have ever meet are in my field. Break those walls people put up for you.
This video is a year old at the time of viewing, but this does paint a lot of insight into how difficult being a Family Medicine doctor is, and how stigmatizing Doctor Mike's presence in social media is to his credibility as a practitioner
“Why be a doctor when you could have been a model?”. This question seems to me like its more about the money than your capabilities. Like, why did you become a doctor when you are handsome enough to be a model, a job with much more income. Or a job with approximately the same income but much less responsibility. The question seems like its hiding the assumption that you became a doctor for the money. The answer is obviously because these are completely different jobs and you just love medicine, but, unfortunately , for a lot of people their choice of field is based on income and not on interest.
@@sgbench I'm not the original commenter but I'd bet that the people asking the model question are assuming he would 100% be one of those models that makes it big. No offense to Dr. Mike, he definitely looks like he puts a lot of effort into his appearance and health, but the reality is probably more like any other artistic/expressive career... some luck is needed to make it big even when you look great. But I don't think people are thinking that far into it when they ask an offhanded question like that. Also from what I've heard, not all doctors make a whole lot of money! If a doctor decides to start their own practice they have to make sure their specialty isn't already flooded in that area and it's probably pretty expensive to run an office. Definitely needs passion for their specialty, or they'll sink. I don't wanna speculate too much on Dr. Mike's financial stuff but it seems like he's at least doing well, so sorry about my unrelated tangent lol. I know you were talking about the average doctor but it's something I think about a lot.
@@rayanrahmani9838 And way, WAY more negatives to count being a model. I guess people seriously don't understand how awful that industry is on all fronts.
That's probably because we ugly people are jealous of those who are beautiful and on top of that competent and smart 😅.. I am not trying to justify this behaviour tho
Unfortunately, people tend to be a lot nicer to you when you are pretty :/ However, attractive people often deny it because they think they have experienced the hate that some "ugly" people go through. When you are attractive people also think that you can do more with your life in terms of careers and goal accomplishing. This is because whether it is illegal or not, some employers will hire you based off the way you look and not your qualifications.
I would really like a video on hormones, their functions, what is considered “normal” levels of the hormones that affect things like weight, acne, PCOS, etc. Also, how to naturally regulate/ balance them. There’s a lot of companies selling s*it claiming they treat PCOS or even help you get pregnant, there’s even an essential oil for PREGNANCY !!!! 🤦🏽♀️It’s infuriating and we need help. YOU DA BEST!

I actually loved seeing the sun setting and darkening sky behind you during this video. It's a subtle reinforcement that actually you're putting time and effort into these creations, not just reeling off something as if it's unimportant. Thank you.
Society many times makes doctors out to be almost “God-like” but they are regular people. I work in family practice as a medical assistant along side of many doctors and they’re all people just like us. Some are awesome, funny, kind and humble, and some are not any of those things 🥴! What is intriguing about you Dr. Mike, is that your not only an intelligent MD but also a charismatic TH-cam celebrity, who seems to be genuinely a good human being and on top of all that... unfairly... beautiful. I love when people like you exist! You are so deserving of all your success. I admire you so much, keep being amazing!
I'm a teacher and I find that is similar in our field. I'll never get what it's like to be a doctor but I sympathize with them in I know people expect so much and people always think they know better than professionals
I think for me it’s not that they are God like exactly it’s that you are hoping they really know their stuff and if you have a problem they can fix it or save your life if your in trauma of some sort it makes me feel better to think that. I know they are just people which scares me to think that lol because people make mistakes and it’s more comforting to think Doctors don’t make mistakes, especially when you are really scared. I recently just had to have a c section so I was trying to really trust that they knew what they were doing and I wasn’t going to die. They blocked me way up so it felt like I could barely breathe and the anesthesiologist that was standing at my head said I would know if you weren’t breathing so that was kinda comforting. I guess I was scared I was gonna throw up or pass out cause I hadn’t eaten in like 24 hours but they told me I was fine so I believed them and felt some better just hoping they know their stuff and trusting they won’t kill you is all you can do when you are in certain situations.
Anesthesiologist goes on vacation with his wife. On the flight home he's sitting in coach and hears over the intercom "if there is an anesthesiologist on board, please come to first class cabin immediately." Guy shrugs it off. Five minutes later, another announcement: "we need an anesthesiologist to the first class cabin immediately." Guy isn't gonna go, but his wife is getting upset and tells him he has a duty to act. Anesthesiologist walks up to the first class cabin and finds a stewardess. He introduces himself and asks what the problem is. Stewardess points to a middle aged man reading a Dan Brown book. "See that guy?" she says. "Yes, he looks fine to me" responds the anesthesiologist. "Well," responds the stewardess, "you see, he's a surgeon, and he needs his overhead light adjusted."
And he won’t do it because as a non-sterile surgical team member he won’t cross over the sterile field. He especially won’t grab the sterile light handle cover to do so, therefore I suppose that lady needs to call someone else. DC, always here to ruin a mildly comical but majorly contextually flawed joke.
10:02. When I was in high school I was the shy kid. Everyone talked behind my back, they said hurtful things, and the whole “being alone during high school” thing was really hard for me. Of course, I found my little group of friends and I slowly started to leave my shyness behind, but the talking would never stop. I was the weird kid who would never get to accomplish anything in life. Fast forward to September 2020: I graduated high school on December 2019 and went to a beauty pageant casting in my hometown. I got in and even though everyone thought I wouldn’t make it too far, I’m now top 7 out of 104 girls who competed since the beginning. I’m still competing in the National stage of Miss World Costa Rica. I continue to prove everyone wrong and it feels amazing. The shy, weird kid who would never accomplish anything is on her way to potentially represent Costa Rica on the most important beauty pageant in the world❤️❤️
imagine he made merch that said “chest compressions, chest compressions, chest compressions” and then someone was wearing it, and then someone found them unconscious and they saw the top and did the chest compressions and saved their life, that’d be cool
Wouldn't it be pretty bad if someone would give a unconscious person chest compressions. As far as I know it should only be given when the heart stopped beating ( no pulse & no breathing). Otherwise you're breaking a person's ribs and are messing with their heartbeat even though the heart is beating fine. But correct me if I'm wrong.
@@scenepacksandedits8577 you could be unconscious and not breathing and still have a heartbeat tho, depending on how long you've not been breathing. Just worried that people will go around giving out chest compression when they see passed out people.
Thank you for being you. I'm going to say you are very right about people judging others because of their appearance, I'm definitely guilty of this. Mine has been mostly believing attractive men are not good people and this was brought out of my subconscious when I worked for one who ended up changing my life in a very positive way. I would like to bring up when I was in practicum at a retirement home I was warned that I will encounter resistance who will hate me on sight because I remind them of someone they use to know so I should never take anything negative personally because it isn't about you. I realized after working through this how often I had allowed things like this in normal life destroy my joy. Again thank you for being you, keep up the good work.
Not sure if many are aware of this, but in Mexico healthcare workers have been getting assaulted over fears of the virus. This includes doctors getting attacked and even some nurses that have died due to rumours and ignorance in that healthcare workers are responsible for spreading the virus....

Having patients to feel comfortable with you is honestly a really good doctor skill.
heenim ya and my doctor isn’t very good at it.
True. Some doctors never achieve this.
A good life skill, period.
Ain't no scary doctors here
Yeah my doctor sucks at that too. He gives me heebie jeebies. Like when he smiles he’s just completely hollow on the inside.
As a patient (and nurse), I don’t care how you look, I care about your bedside manner, knowledge, and honesty. When a doctor tells me that something is out of their scope of practice and sends me to someone else, I appreciate that honesty. I’m surprised people are so shallow about your looks.
why people acting like he's the most handsome dude in the world 😂 im confused
@@itsluckzy2023 because he is
I mean ofcourse not the most beautiful person in the world cuz that person doesn't exist but he is handsome
I wish doctors would listen. I miss having one that listens to me and takes me seriously. Especially since I got hit by a car and got crappy care at my local hospital the day I was hit.
I had a kinda scary-looking woman who was a WONDERFUL GP and i have one current specialist who is petite and beautiful and i love her too! "Looks" count for precisely zero in what makes a good doctor.
Well said!
My own doctor is an average-good looking man, but young enough to be my son. I only notice his looks so I can say hello to him if I see him outside the office.
But it's his knowledge, his willingness to listen to his patients, including his senior ones (like me), and his willingness to research anything he's not sure of, or to ask another doctor if that's what needs to be done.
I can't relate to being told I'm too beautiful for a job.
yeah maybe the opposite
I can't either but I don't base my opinion about someone's professionalism on their looks.
Yeah, same here.
Same. I think that only applies on Dr Mike and three others lol
People might as well say I'm too ugly to even become anything..

It’s actually really beneficial for his platform that he’s as attractive as he is. He catches attention and then people actually learn something. I’m glad that he’s been able to stay as humble and real as he has with all the attention. That can’t have been easy.
Why did this sound so creepy
That's an excellent point. The reality is, if he wasn't attractive, people wouldn't pay any attention to him. That's just the way it is.
For me, he may be attractive, but all these years, I never bothered watching. Until recently, when I realized how nerdy, cute, wholesome and dorky he is. THAT is why I'm here now. His attractiveness is just a fun bonus. lol And how much he loves Bear like a child. That's just as huge for me.
I disagree...it's his personality that caught my attention and respect. If you can only pay attention to "pretty" people you have a problem!

@@hollyshane2604, there are plenty of personal reasons to become a doctor, and I don't intend to belittle any of them. I just thought it was worth pointing out that there are practical reasons to choose doctoring over modeling that apply across the board.

A model’s career is much shorter. I would say after late 30’s is much harder for a man to get a job as a model, at least in the catwalk, and in the 40’s it becomes harder to get a job anywhere.
@@camillatruquesdebeleza7086 You could take over the job from your employers when you get to that age. There are also plenty of commercials featuring middle-aged people.

I am a female physician, and I am sorry I have not discovered your channel until now! I had to laugh at your last discussion about being “too beautiful“ to practice medicine. I found that as soon as I started getting my gray hair, I was basically finding that patients were more easily taking my recommendations, I would hear a lot more “whatever you think is best doc“ , “ I trust you doc”. Ageism at its best!😄 now that I am all gray, I have colored my hair magenta!😆
you go girl!
That checks out lol...even for male doctors. I had a relatively old doctor (Dr. Weisser) who retired, then I switched to a younger one, around 35 years of age. I just don't trust him as much as I did the other guy. But then again, that may be psychological since I had my previoous doctor for the past 15 years.
Pop off girl boss
Do you consider some of that comes with the appearance of gray hair as the impression that you are now more experienced in the field?
There is something to be said for experience. No offense, but if I am in a hospital, or a walk in clinic, and was asked if I wanted to be seen by the 28 yr old only out of med school now for a year, or a 48 yr old that theres a 30 minute wait for, depending on the level of pain, I might patiently wait for the person that I perceive as the more experienced in their field.
Now is that fair? Maybe not fully, but experience cant be discarded either.
There is absolutely fields where ageism is a poor thing to decide a decision on, but medical input, maybe not.
While this is an excellent point, there very much is another end of that spectrum too. While all doctors are required to do continuing medical education, it's more likely that the younger doctors would have the most up to date medical knowledge. For example, a surgeon who recently completed their residency might know less invasive techniques that have been recently developed, which could lower your pain, recovery time, or even likelihood of fatality. An older surgeon on the other hand might not be capable of performing such a procedure since it's harder to keep up with new techniques when you're also busy practicing medicine and engaging in outside life.
While I understand we all have our own biases, the best approach in my opinion would be to evaluate each doctor individually on how well they are treating you/ taking your concerns seriously. My best experiences are usually those where the first half hour is spent just discussing everything before beginning any sort of examination, and my outcomes from doctors where this has been the case have been phenomenal. @@Canadagraphs

I totally agree. Stop trying to fix people into boxes based on your assumptions about how people should act.
See i understand the question differently.
I feel like they are trying to say that a model earns more money and they think its an easier job so why wouldn't person want to do that compare to being a doctor, which is hard and high pressure job.
@@ZuziFox Agreed. I think the nature of the question is more in line with the thought that anyone can become a doctor... with a decade of hard work (and I know even that's not really true) but very few people have the natural gifts to become a model, and that seems to take WAY less effort.

I really hate those type of questions. I get them sort of the other way around. I’m a bus driver. I’m also fairly smart. People often ask me questions like ‘Why’d you become a bus driver when you could’ve become a lawyer or a doctor?!’ ‘If I was that smart I would’ve never become a bus driver, but I would’ve definitely go on to study something important!’ (first of all I think my job is equally as important...

This hurt so much because EVERYONE in my family has been pushing me to go to school and to get a job and when I FINALLY decided I wanted become a doctor, they shot me down. It really, really hurts to hear that especially from family members. After hearing the last part of this video I realized that I shouldn't give up. I should prove my family wrong!
Go for it... Although Anatomy is a real killer
@@meredits388 To me it’s physiology lol but I get what you mean
Instead of doing it eith the mindset to prove them wrong, do it because it's something you want to do. My family isn't supportive either, but when I focus on what they think even if it's "im not going to be like you" or "im going to prove your wrong" im giving them too much importance and wasting time thinking about them even if it's to show them up. Distancing yourself from downers is honestly the healthiest.
I always felt like I had to give my dream profession a shot or live with never even having tried. So if you really want to - go for it!
is it weird a lot of us have something in common, about being shitted down by our relatives for our passion and dreams?
Dr. Mike, I've been on this planet for 65 years, and I am so thankful that we have doctors like you! I am seeing more and more young doctors, particularly D.O.s, practicing family medicine with empathy, truthfulness and kindness.
The WORLD NEEDS doctors like you! Keep up the good work! Your parents must be very proud of you!
I am with you. I was just talking about this very topic. I was saying how much so like the young doctors. They talk with you much more freely. It has finally go into med schools that patients are whole people. It shows.
Best quote ever: “Prove people wrong with your results.”
Not really
i agree
Honestly, yeah
Well said ❄
That's like few centuries old quote 😂😂😂
"Success is the best revenge." -- my dad to me when I was 11
It actually is! Because if you were picked on your whole life and you become successful they would see you and possibly stop bullying other people because they don't want it to happen again.
true
Ooooh, I love this.
Wayward Mind
Wow, your dad was smart.
A decade ago I was in a severely abusive relationship in which I was told very frequently that I was incredibly dumb and wouldn't amount to anything. Now I'm a college grad with a Bachelor's degree and ended with a GPA of 3.9. Proved him wrong.
I once failed an interview for housekeeping because the hiring Director felt that "it would be a waste for someone with my looks to work as a cleaner". At the time I was really poor and was struggling to eat, but I was happy I could apply for a job that not only was well paying but also I knew I would genuinely like since I absolutely love cleaning. So imagine my shock and disappointment when the only reason given to why I wasn't hired was because she felt that it would be a waste for my looks. Like ma'am, my looks will neither feed me nor keep me happy wth? 😅
What she did makes no sense. Isn't that discrimination??
Her looks get her the job she had and she look at you as some one that would take her job away form her and she needs to me the good looking one to make her feel better i hope you get a job that look at you as a person and not just a good looking person but a good person
The way I see it she was afraid you wouldn't stay long because you can do better when it comes to jobs. I was turned down because I was too qualified and they were right I wouldn't have stayed long. All the best to you!
It’s possible the Director might be a bit of a creep?
Since when is being good looking bad 😭
This man's enthusiasm and energy for what he does...no wonder why he's as popular as he is. Doctor, stay the course cause it's working for you on so many levels.

"Just prove people wrong with your results". That's my best advice too. When people find out what you're capable of, they'll respect you.
"Why did you become a doctor when you could've been a model?"
Doctor Mike: Joke's on you, I am both
Ahahahhasa yes is why we love him
Lmao
Oh I'm the 1400th like noice
@Picolas Cage Not tall enough? He's 6'3" and he's in incredibly great shape
@Picolas Cage there are many kinds of models. He could be a fitness model. Also there are more brands that cater to different lifestyles now. Being skinny is definitely still the case for runway models though...
I thought the most offensive question would be, "So, doc, how many patients have you killed?"
That's my favorite question
Yeah true
Seems more personal than offensive.
That is usually the answer to the question for jobs with those types of dynamics, many other jobs too
I've heard doctors, particularly gynecologists, hate it when people ask if they get turned on while examining an attractive woman. I assumed that would be the most offensive.
As a black teen willing to be a future doctor, that part you talked bout proving people wrong actually helped me a lot ...
I hope I become a doctor like you

You got it, girl! Prove everybody wrong!

You can do this! I really wish he had seen this comment.
Can you imagine if Dr Mike was your actual doctor?? You have the flu and you stroll in all congested with a fever and Dr Mike walks in? I would be dead. LOL.
That'd be a real black mark on his record. "Entered treatment room, patient expired."
Why do you need to go to the hospital for the flu? I never did. Especially after elementary school
And I rarely got it in the first place. If I did I didn't mind much
Actually I would ask him if he's willing to try it. Well. The thing I want/need and he could maybe provide if I was to also make him happy? It would make me feel good inside
Haha I think I’d be very poorly a lot of the time 😂
3:15 Hi doctor mike, could you also put audio to these questions? My friend is blind and loves watching your videos I actually found out about you from her, but things like this can be a bit annoying sometimes- great video as always tho :)

My grandma said that she felt compelled to become a psychiatrist after her teacher in med school failed her saying "that was ok but you're not pretty enough to pass so you need to be double as smart". She felt insulted for herself, for her fellow students, and decided that she is gonna ace everything so that none can question her abilities. Savage woman.
I didn't have that much strength as her but I still turned it out somehow :) Now I am a SysAdmin in IT so a male field as well. Previously I was IT Helpdesk Lead and had 8 guys, most of them younger, answer to me. At first people would come into the room and try to talk to the oldest guy in the room, or at least A GUY, and they would always direct those people to me or ask me what to do. Long story short when I was leaving that company I was nicknamed "IT Queen", almost everyone knew me but not our manager, and dozens of people predicted dark times.. xD
When my mother was in high school she had a friend in her grade who's school counselor told her she couldn't be a nurse bccause "people like you(Hispanic) can't handle it" (This was 1950). So the young woman went to nursing school anyway, passed of course, took her diploma and went back to the school in full white uniform, and waved the document in front of the counselor, saying "See! See?"
My HS counselor told me in 1966 that, as a girl, I had no business applying to university, since I could only get a job as a secretary. I became a National Merit Finalist, valedictorian at graduation, and received a Regents’ Scholarship to UCLA (as well as scholarship offers from two other universities). I guess I showed him.
This made me really happy when you said “Prove people wrong with your results” I’m currently in a welding program and I always wanted to do it for long time, however I was female and all the guys would treat me like I’m hopeless person, I had to prove to myself that I was better than what they thought, I studied everyday to get good grades and I tired really hard. Now they always ask me for help. It very true I never relate to something so strongly.
That's so awesome! I really want to try carpenter and welding, but I literally hate when guys think because your around them they should be able to hit on you like. I literally am trying to learn here I didn't want try a field to talk to you! And backhanded compliment are the worst like I'm going to do this because I want to and I don't need you to tell me anything.
That’s amazing Jess I hate gender stereotypes. We need more women doing construction and fabrication.

Being a female in a typically male job is hard. Just keep your head up and keep working for your dreams. Block the negative comments. It's your life, make yourself happy. It's also a step forward to get more females in the trades or male dominated jobs. Some days will be harder than others but f**k the noise. Great work ladies!

As a female in computer science, I deal with people not taking me seriously too. I’d also consider myself relatively good looking (Not to be prideful, I really don’t place any value on it), and it seems like job interviews never really go well because people don’t think of me as a professional person. Thank you for speaking up about this! I love the way you approach social challenges like this.
I feel you there..I work in IT (which is still male drive) and I can tell you that I am constantly dismissed by male coworkers or not picked for project. When I went to school for computer science I was usually the only female in my classes. Not to mention the sexual harassment that goes on. That was 18 years ago. It really sucks.
I've worked in IT development for over 20 years. That has not been my experience thankfully. I'm in Canada, maybe it's different here than in the US.
I'm a male, not a femministe of course, but why... why people have this kind of problem? You gained this role as every normal people did, so why don't take that person seriously?
It's quite sad
@Pro Semite I have and to a female boss. Still falls on deaf ears. I just get the whole you have to learn to deal with it speech. She has to deal with it so I guess I have to deal with it too. I'm just over it. I'm tired of the battles and I'm done. Doing my time and moving on with my life.
I am a more feminine boy who has not finished puberty so the lads don’t want to hang out with me and I don’t want to hang out with the girls so I kinda understand?
I love your description of family medicine. I am a registered nurse with ICU background and I do case management amd clinical navigation now for the uninsured and underinsured and link them to community health resources. You guys are the unsung heros of medicine. You literally see it all and manage care and send to appropriate specialty and then put it all together after you get 5 different reports from specialists. Plus the amount of teaching you do on top of it all! literally paused this video after you talked about family medicine to comment this.
you’re a smart nurse
I am a nursing student, I am 21 years old. I have had my intelligence questioned & my looks picked apart by my peers. Already in my first month of school. Thank you for talking about that topic. It was very reassuring to me, that I can be serious & smart and still be young.
Don’t listen to people, people can be so ignorant sometimes, I think it’s awesome to be a nurse! We need them! Nurses don’t get enough credit.. Nurses are smart as well...We all can’t be doctors..
It feels sooooo good when you prove everyone wrong though.
When I was in high school I decided to join the wrestling team. I wasn't fat, but not super muscular either. "Husky" is the right term I guess. My teammates underestimated me and berated me right from the start. What they didn't know is that my dad was a professional cage fighter, and that I probably knew as much or more about grappling and submission techniques. What I didn't know was the rules when it comes to wrestling. So when everyone saw my first sparring partner(who was a bit bigger and more muscular than me)on the ground in tears from an arm bar everyone gave me the respect I deserved...and coach wasn't too happy about his star wrestler getting wrecked, and explained to me that you couldn't do moves like that in that style of wrestling.
I only lost two matches that season as a brand new wrestler.
Be open to criticism, but never disrespect.
People are ignorant so don’t ever listen to negativity. Keep going, you got this!
I remember people used to laugh when I said I wanted to be a nurse because I am an immigrant with a very thick accent. Guess what? I became a LPN and decided to keep going to school and as now I am a BSN- RN working in an intensive care unit and I am also a family nurse practitioner student ... so if I did you could absolutely do it !!!

It seemed to me that he was hesitant pointing out the death threats. So I don’t know if it was nothing for him.

The most common one I’ve had is “you’re not going to give me the drugs I want? I’m going to wait for you outside and kill you.” Workplace violence is real for doctors and nurses.
Unfortunately, due to too many celebrity docs who have used the title on public media or have written books giving health advice without medical training, the general public have become uncertain if the advisors are actually medically licensed. It's comforting to be reassured that you are a true medical doctor.
Here are the things I know about Dr. Mike outside of being a doctor:
- He plays basketball
- He has nephews
- He donates to charities
- He's a dog lover
He has a good sense of humor (at least I think so)
-he has a sister
-he’s not married

@@LA-sh9jh He puts nuts in his dishwasher but he doesn't wash them. It is just for storage because of the space in his kitchen.
I find another common addition to the entire “attractive must equal dumb” is that nurses only start in the field to marry a doctor! ESPECIALLY if you are considered “conventionally attractive!” This can also create another degree of detrimental separation within the healthcare team if one of the members within that team have this mentality. Nurses, respiratory therapists, social workers, etc are NOT necessarily less intelligent than the doctors on a team; they merely have a different role within that team whose goal should be to work together for the best possible outcome of the patient!!
To be a nurse you still need to go to medical school right?
Wich means they were at least smart enough to finish that.
Mani32, nurses go to a specific school that is based on evidence based practice, the same as doctors, but geared with a different scope and philosophy. Nursing school is also shorter than medical school. Fun fact, nursing is considered one of the most difficult degrees to obtain in the American collegiate system.
@@zebrastrong9291 ☝🏽this!!!
Social worker in America usually have a Masters degree as far as I know so... yeah prolly not stupid lol
All the time! It's always "you can't help me, I want the doctor". Like yes I can answer your questions about your medications or about your test results. I have gone to school for this too as well as have worked in the field for 7 years now. I dont have a doctorate but I do have a medical degree of my own.
There's also the fact that people just with nursing is a step to being a doctor. While for many it could be, nursing is a valid degree and career choice in its own right. I am allowed to want to stop at the title nurse, however that looks to those with the degree. A CNA can strive for being a RN without ever considering becoming a Nurse Practioner, or even beyond that.
"Prove people wrong with your results" I love this.
Aww thanks for your public service Doc. I always joke that I like for all my practitioners to be good looking- except for the OBGYN! 😆 Seriously though, thank you for the research and time you put into educating us. For someone to sift out the nonsense for you is like someone taking out that yucky skin that cream makes in my chai! Eww! I feel hugged and cared for so I am sending you 10 hugs for each trollish message you get. As for death threats ... if I'm first on the scene do you know what I will do? Chest compressions, chest compressions, chest compressions! I gat you boo! 😍😅
I have to do that all the time. My size has led to discriminatory comments. I’m small at 5’3”. When inquiring and then doing male-dominated things, I basically get laughed at. I’ve been told on countless occasions, “Are you sure you can handle it?” No other conversation has taken place, but people assume that because I am small that I can’t do anything requiring physical strength.

As a hairstylist I often get “you have a degree in history and religious studies and you do hair, wow those are complete opposites!” I may “just do hair” but I do know that’s not what opposite means lol. I even had a fellow stylist say to me “I knew you weren’t like the rest of them, you’re clearly very intelligent.” After finding out my degree. That’s so extremely insulting to my friends/coworkers, not flattering to me at all no matter if that was her intention or not.
My hairstylist studied to be an engineer, but doing hair is what makes him happy and honestly, there shouldn't be a "but" in this sentence.
Exactly. Brad Mondo is someone I watch frequently and he is quite knowledgeable in hairstyling.
I think it’s pretty cool that until a few days ago tattoo artists were required by law to have a medical practitioner license. Parents definitely can’t say they’re throwing away their life
Everyone can’t be a makeup artist/hairstylist.. To be a great hairstylist/makeup artist is pure talent, gift from god.. Professional makeup artist/hairstylist in nyc make more then “history/religious” majors.. History/religion is taught.. Art is pure talent.. Big difference..
Tovah Except hair styling can be and is taught?? The concept of ”talent” is kinda shitty anyways, sure some people learn faster or pick things up easier but that would imply there’s ”talentless” people who can never succeed at whatever it is no matter how hard they try and that’s just untrue. Saying someone is ”talented” is also unjust to them, they’ve put a lot of effort and time into developing that skill and implying it’s just some natural talent they possess discredits all that work
The problem is so many things online are fake, people don't know who to trust as real.

Just a note...when Dr. Mike says “they’re being unethical” he’s not speaking about the person asking (they didn’t make an oath to “do no harm”)...he’s speaking of the doctor who may chose to answer that persons question. It seemed a bit unclear to me as he spoke, so I just wanted to clarify that. I have a license and that happens all of the time!
Thank you for clarifying.
But also it is kinda a jerk move to do that to a random Doctor you hardly know
Putting a licensed professional in a position where they could slip up and provide advice or direction that would make them liable to damages seems pretty unethical to me.

Most of us feel bad because people think we are not attractive. Dr mike knows he looks good but he is still offended when people ask him why he became a doctor because he looks good. He’s not offended because they are saying he’s so beautiful or handsome. He’s offended because they are implying that good looking people are dumb or should only have careers in modeling. If he’s smart and wants to be a doctor then he should be able to do that. I’m actually really proud of him for saying that. It proves that looks aren’t everything whether you look good or not.
I think they say that because they don’t always see male doctors that look that good and it’s hard to believe haha🙄
I am a board-certified anesthesiologist, 20+ years. You have NO idea how offensive it is to have to explain, sometimes multiple times a day, that I am a physician. That I have a degree from an accredited medical school. That the surgeon and I were classmates (well, that only happened twice). That, functionally, yes I'm a drug pusher but my role in any patient's care is infinitely more important.
BTW, no one has ever mistaken me for a model. They've instead mistaken me for housekeeping, patient transport, customer service, administration--- occasionally, another will assume I'm a nurse. It is not my intention to minimize the various roles any person may assume on a hospital staff, but I had the same education you did.
I have high regard for anesthesiologists. There are so many factors you have to keep in mind for every procedure, lot of math and calculating what is needed to safely anesthetize a patient and keep them at a consistent level.
@Marie Whitbread 1 experience does not describe everybody
Indian super specialisation in surgery is one of the hardest and longest studying courses, if you studied from government colleges that is.
See thats shocking to me. During the brief period that i wanted to be a doctor, I specifically wanted to be an anesthesiologist because I thought that was one of the coolest jobs around. I mean, your job is the only thing that makes surgery POSSIBLE. Without you, every operation would be an absurdly traumatic and horrifying experience that probably ends in death 3 out of 4 times from shock, rushed work causes issues, and accidents due to thrashing patients screaming till their vocal cords shred. Yeah the surgeon able to treat a blood vessel in the brain about to rupture may get all the glory, but you are the only reason it can even be tried in the first place.
I’m an undergrad hoping to become and anesthesiologist! I fell in love because like you said Anesthesia is so much more than people think.
Never stop what you're doing because of a few scammers and trolls.
You are awesome Dr Mike.
So Doctor isn’t your first name?
*confused screaming*

Loooool

Thank you for addressing the stereotypes associated with being a professional and also being physically attractive. I’ve found in a lot of my jobs that when I progress quickly, other people automatically assume that I must be sleeping with the boss. This type of thinking fuels the assumptions that 1) women can’t progress like men professionally unless they’re sleeping their way up the ladder and 2) that all of my hard work means nothing. So I appreciate you passionately addressing the fact that attractive people can be smart too and can succeed based on their brains, not just their looks.
Yes. I don't have that problem professionally, but if you're an attractive woman who is into geek culture (comic books, sci-fi, superhero movies, etc.), you get an incredulous reaction. Apparently, nerds/geeks can't be attractive either. :(
I totally agree. It's an issue I've dealt with a bit and it's super frustrating because it just diminishes all my hard work to get to where I am.
Those ppl are prolly just jealous from your appearance
I'm a man and what I hate the most about that assumption is the victim blaming.Because everytime someone assumes an attractive woman"slept with the boss"they *NEVER* imply that THE BOSS should be fired because he sexual harassed that woman,they always talk like the woman did everything by herself and the boss had no responsibility whatsoever.And,to be clear,I ALSO mean that when talking about women who *actually* make the 1st move...if you're a responsable professionist AND a decent person *you-just-REFUSE!* If a woman tells you she wants to sleep with you to get a job YOU-SAY-NO!And if you don't, you get at least 50% of the blame!😤
I'm glad I don't have to deal with that! Perks of being unattractive 😅
For those of us with medical anxiety, you are such a help. Bless you ❤️
Sometimes, we forget that these "beautiful" people has their own struggles too. Everyone just assumes that good looking people don't even have to try and they just need to look pretty, as if that's all they got. I have a friend who experienced a similar struggle. She was the prettiest in our team but our co-workers often have these side comments whenever she achieved something remarkable and eventually got promotion. They always assume that she got it because she "slept her way through it to the bosses" to make it. Freaking disgusting and disrespectful at the same time, her looks that supposed to be a good thing became her biggest disadvantage in everything she does because it always voids her hardwork. Luckily, she transferred somewhere else with a better environment that actually recognizes her capabilities, and not just being looked at as "another pretty face".
That’s sad. People are just jealous
@FIFA07Pro
Wtf. That’s not the message the original comment was trying to make. Stop making this about something else when it’s not important to the video or comment. It’s annoying when people do that.
That sounds a lot like "light skin privilege". A light skin person who does work hard to achieve things gets discredited because of skin color.
I was very pretty at a young age and was bullied and had a lot of misinformation thrown away because my female peers wanted to eliminate the competition.. and I was used as a trophy then a person by my boy friend. Now I'm fat and I can definitely see the difference , being beautiful people are nice to your face but your objectified .. when your average or ugly.. half the time you don't even exist. I was myself the whole time and I hated this contrast . My husband never treated me differently skinny or fat he always said I was beautiful, and treated me the same way .. we were best friends in high school. Not saying you can't be attractive fat but I don't find it appealing and make strides to be healthy , I just made a lot of poor eating choices and stopped working out that I have to make up for . I hate it but I do the same thing .. if someone isn't all that appealing to the eye i tend to distance myself unintentionally.. its nature to reject things you don't have any gain from
Being pretty certainly makes things easier in life, but being too pretty or attractive will most likely end in getting too much attention. That can end in two ways and it can be either too good or really bad.
Imagine sending death threats to a doctor who saves lives
I can imagine that, even if I don't agree with it.
Imagine trying to kill a doctor
(It actually happened to a junior doctor)
@D Boogman I don't understand, what is your point?
Are you saying someone should have the Right to send death threats to a doctor, or that we should be able to find the sender of such letters and arrest them?
What is the connection?
Dr Fauci was receiving death threats awhile back 🙄
The Noisy Spectator I think he’s saying that because most of the population viewing is in the US, and the US has freedom of speech, and everyone abuses that freedom, that’s the reason that he’s receiving death threats. I could be wrong though
Not quite the same thing but I was hesitant to get into the trade field because I had the assumption that many of the people in that field were "meatheads." And granted many of the people are more shall we say... Gruff, some of the smartest people I have ever meet are in my field. Break those walls people put up for you.
There are all types of people doing all types of work and, as a society, we need them all. You do you.
This video is a year old at the time of viewing, but this does paint a lot of insight into how difficult being a Family Medicine doctor is, and how stigmatizing Doctor Mike's presence in social media is to his credibility as a practitioner
“Why be a doctor when you could have been a model?”. This question seems to me like its more about the money than your capabilities. Like, why did you become a doctor when you are handsome enough to be a model, a job with much more income. Or a job with approximately the same income but much less responsibility. The question seems like its hiding the assumption that you became a doctor for the money. The answer is obviously because these are completely different jobs and you just love medicine, but, unfortunately , for a lot of people their choice of field is based on income and not on interest.
Do you really think the average model makes more money than the average doctor?
@@sgbench famous models? Yeah they do.
@@sgbench I'm not the original commenter but I'd bet that the people asking the model question are assuming he would 100% be one of those models that makes it big. No offense to Dr. Mike, he definitely looks like he puts a lot of effort into his appearance and health, but the reality is probably more like any other artistic/expressive career... some luck is needed to make it big even when you look great. But I don't think people are thinking that far into it when they ask an offhanded question like that.
Also from what I've heard, not all doctors make a whole lot of money! If a doctor decides to start their own practice they have to make sure their specialty isn't already flooded in that area and it's probably pretty expensive to run an office. Definitely needs passion for their specialty, or they'll sink. I don't wanna speculate too much on Dr. Mike's financial stuff but it seems like he's at least doing well, so sorry about my unrelated tangent lol. I know you were talking about the average doctor but it's something I think about a lot.
Spencer Bench Also, there’s $200k less debt when you’re a model
@@rayanrahmani9838 And way, WAY more negatives to count being a model. I guess people seriously don't understand how awful that industry is on all fronts.
I had a girl I worked with tell me ALL THE TIME “at least you’re pretty” as if that’s all I had. It was so beyond frustrating
That's probably because we ugly people are jealous of those who are beautiful and on top of that competent and smart 😅.. I am not trying to justify this behaviour tho
It helps being pretty
Unfortunately, people tend to be a lot nicer to you when you are pretty :/ However, attractive people often deny it because they think they have experienced the hate that some "ugly" people go through. When you are attractive people also think that you can do more with your life in terms of careers and goal accomplishing. This is because whether it is illegal or not, some employers will hire you based off the way you look and not your qualifications.
For some reason, some people treat looks like a personality trait. Idk why it's a thing honestly
My boss did this to me all the time... if I even made the slightly mistake she responded with “at least you’re pretty!” I hear ya 🙄
I would really like a video on hormones, their functions, what is considered “normal” levels of the hormones that affect things like weight, acne, PCOS, etc. Also, how to naturally regulate/ balance them. There’s a lot of companies selling s*it claiming they treat PCOS or even help you get pregnant, there’s even an essential oil for PREGNANCY !!!! 🤦🏽♀️It’s infuriating and we need help. YOU DA BEST!

"Beautiful people are not taken seriously"

Yeah, but in my experience ugly/not skinny people aren't taken seriously either, but are tremendously underestimatet and are just perceived as dumb, for no good reason. (Story of my life)
@@_the_ I really do feel your pain. I am in the same boat, but, am finally to the point where I love it when I get the chance to prove people wrong. The ones who still don't get it, I just feel sorry for them, and walk away.

I actually loved seeing the sun setting and darkening sky behind you during this video. It's a subtle reinforcement that actually you're putting time and effort into these creations, not just reeling off something as if it's unimportant.
Thank you.
David Gardiner how did I literally not notice that?
As a nurse 45 yrs, the only time patients behaved weird towards me, was in Alcohol and drug even psych not an issue.
Society many times makes doctors out to be almost “God-like” but they are regular people. I work in family practice as a medical assistant along side of many doctors and they’re all people just like us. Some are awesome, funny, kind and humble, and some are not any of those things 🥴! What is intriguing about you Dr. Mike, is that your not only an intelligent MD but also a charismatic TH-cam celebrity, who seems to be genuinely a good human being and on top of all that... unfairly... beautiful. I love when people like you exist! You are so deserving of all your success. I admire you so much, keep being amazing!
I'm a teacher and I find that is similar in our field. I'll never get what it's like to be a doctor but I sympathize with them in I know people expect so much and people always think they know better than professionals
why "unfairly beautiful" ?
I think he’s a DO not MD. Still, he seems like a nice person and good Dr.
@@faye_miss unfairly beautiful as in he has been gifted with such beauty that they would pray to have.
I think for me it’s not that they are God like exactly it’s that you are hoping they really know their stuff and if you have a problem they can fix it or save your life if your in trauma of some sort it makes me feel better to think that. I know they are just people which scares me to think that lol because people make mistakes and it’s more comforting to think Doctors don’t make mistakes, especially when you are really scared. I recently just had to have a c section so I was trying to really trust that they knew what they were doing and I wasn’t going to die. They blocked me way up so it felt like I could barely breathe and the anesthesiologist that was standing at my head said I would know if you weren’t breathing so that was kinda comforting. I guess I was scared I was gonna throw up or pass out cause I hadn’t eaten in like 24 hours but they told me I was fine so I believed them and felt some better just hoping they know their stuff and trusting they won’t kill you is all you can do when you are in certain situations.
Love your honesty =)
You again 👀👆
He needs to fix is posture
Why are you everywhere?
Anesthesiologist goes on vacation with his wife. On the flight home he's sitting in coach and hears over the intercom "if there is an anesthesiologist on board, please come to first class cabin immediately." Guy shrugs it off. Five minutes later, another announcement: "we need an anesthesiologist to the first class cabin immediately." Guy isn't gonna go, but his wife is getting upset and tells him he has a duty to act.
Anesthesiologist walks up to the first class cabin and finds a stewardess. He introduces himself and asks what the problem is. Stewardess points to a middle aged man reading a Dan Brown book. "See that guy?" she says.
"Yes, he looks fine to me" responds the anesthesiologist.
"Well," responds the stewardess, "you see, he's a surgeon, and he needs his overhead light adjusted."
heyyy i watch your channel bro! Glad to see you here
ahaha
Ngl, you had me in the first half 😂
Lol and so true
And he won’t do it because as a non-sterile surgical team member he won’t cross over the sterile field. He especially won’t grab the sterile light handle cover to do so, therefore I suppose that lady needs to call someone else.

When I was in high school I was the shy kid. Everyone talked behind my back, they said hurtful things, and the whole “being alone during high school” thing was really hard for me. Of course, I found my little group of friends and I slowly started to leave my shyness behind, but the talking would never stop. I was the weird kid who would never get to accomplish anything in life.
Fast forward to September 2020: I graduated high school on December 2019 and went to a beauty pageant casting in my hometown. I got in and even though everyone thought I wouldn’t make it too far, I’m now top 7 out of 104 girls who competed since the beginning. I’m still competing in the National stage of Miss World Costa Rica. I continue to prove everyone wrong and it feels amazing. The shy, weird kid who would never accomplish anything is on her way to potentially represent Costa Rica on the most important beauty pageant in the world❤️❤️
Adriana E. Bermúdez good for you! Best of luck as you continue following your dreams! 😊
I hope you win
Best wishes!
YAS QUEEN!!!!
Dr Mike's greatness of personality is evident in the form of so many people's lengthy comments, you are a therapist of millions, Sir!

2: Doctor Mike.

That is ... Cool...👌🏻
omg😂😂😂
Wouldn't it be pretty bad if someone would give a unconscious person chest compressions. As far as I know it should only be given when the heart stopped beating ( no pulse & no breathing). Otherwise you're breaking a person's ribs and are messing with their heartbeat even though the heart is beating fine. But correct me if I'm wrong.
Janet yeah no that’s what i meant like if they’re not breathing whilst unconscious
@@scenepacksandedits8577 you could be unconscious and not breathing and still have a heartbeat tho, depending on how long you've not been breathing. Just worried that people will go around giving out chest compression when they see passed out people.
You should ask them next time "Are you even a real patient?" 😂
The guy with cancer:

"are you even a real patient? are you a hallucination?"

no, looks at heart rate monitor
Thank you for being you. I'm going to say you are very right about people judging others because of their appearance, I'm definitely guilty of this. Mine has been mostly believing attractive men are not good people and this was brought out of my subconscious when I worked for one who ended up changing my life in a very positive way. I would like to bring up when I was in practicum at a retirement home I was warned that I will encounter resistance who will hate me on sight because I remind them of someone they use to know so I should never take anything negative personally because it isn't about you. I realized after working through this how often I had allowed things like this in normal life destroy my joy.
Again thank you for being you, keep up the good work.
