from uworld: patient doctor relationship (non-psychiatric patient): doctor cannot suggest to end the doctor-patient relationship in pursuit of dating them. This would be unethical since it would compromise the patient's care (especially if they had been their patient for several years). I think for usmle, a doctor can only date a PRIOR patient (relations ended naturally) if they happen to link up a few years later (not sure on the number of years)

Hi dr Neil! I'm a brazillian MS, currently studying for my step 1 and I onnly would like to share how grateful I am to find your channel and videos here. Loving all the help and time that you put on this only for help another dreaming IMG MS going foward. Thank you thank you thank you!!
Randy Neil, MD Dr!!!! I don’t know how else to reach you, but I wanted to let you know I got my score back today and I passed Step 3!!!!!!!!!!!!! Thank you so much for taking the time to make these videos, I got so many questions right in the test! Keep doing them, they are super helpful. Ahhh! Feels so good to be done with the Steps! Thank you sooooo much!
Hi Dr. Neil, Based on what you said in your ethics video about needing just one consent from the parent I chose to proceed with the procedure, but it was wrong. I'm including the question below, answer was D. A 15-year-old boy with no significant past medical history presents to the clinic because of discomfort in his right testicle. Following investigations, a diagnosis of invasive seminoma is made. The physician recommends orchiectomy plus radiotherapy. The boy says he wants to undergo full treatment. The mother consents to both the radiotherapy and orchiectomy. The father consents to radiotherapy only. Which of the following is the most appropriate next best step? A) Arrange for a court to oversee the case B) Arrange for radiotherapy and orchiectomy C) Arrange for radiotherapy only D) Attempt to reach further consensus between the parents E) Withhold management because radiotherapy only is futile
Dr. Neil, you are so good at teaching us. Thank you for thinking about students and helping us. You teach like you are teaching one of your family members. Much appreciated..!! Your channel is simply THE BEST..!!
today is my ethics exam and i think it can help me to do the best . i will keep a reply for this after my exam.. and really doctor kept a high yield thing to discuss with us . thankyou so much for this video .
.According to medical ethics, the time a doctor should wait before dating a former patient can vary depending on the specific circumstances and the nature of the treatment. Generally, it is advisable for doctors to wait at least one year after the patient has been discharged or has completed treatment. This waiting period helps to ensure that there is no potential for exploitation or conflict of interest, as the doctor-patient relationship can create a power imbalance. In some cases, if the treatment involved significant emotional or psychological issues, a longer waiting period might be recommended. Ultimately, the key principle is to maintain professional boundaries and ensure that the former patient is not vulnerable to any undue influence. In summary, a doctor should ideally wait at least one year after a patient is discharged before considering dating them.
Hey Randy, thank you so much for these 02 ethics vdos.They were really helpful. Regarding the doc-pt relationship I read mostly in kaplan it says, if it is not a psychiatric pt then it has to be atleast 02 years that doc pt relationship has ended then they can date but if she is a psych pt then Never date her. One question I have is, at the end of this vdo you said we can break confidentiality in case of danger but there was ques where it said that we don't have to notify the partner that my pt has HIV/STD if pt says not to inform.We encourage the pt to tell his partner and notify only the authority in case of STDs.Also, if he has multiple partners we can just ask about their details but if pt denies to give others details, we can not force him. Also, can you talk about blood tranfusion, the question I am confused with, if an adult pt is unconscious, her husband says no to blood tranfusion and has no ID card/card saying she is Jehova's witness,then do I transfuse blood? A child who needs transfusion but denies as he has Jehova witness card,he is conscious, family and child both say no to blood, do I transfuse now? Another confusion I have is regarding removal of ventilation.If I confirm that pt is brain dead but family insists to keep the ventilation, so I keep it or not? I read somewhere if 02 doctors confirm brain death, we can remove the ventilation.Please clarify these concepts.Thanks alot. Also, can I have your email id so that I can send you my biostat confusions esp concepts from UW and UW review which I had tried so hard to understand but still I do nt have proper concept.Thank you :D
Hi, hope you're well! Thank you for these videos. One question: at the end where you mentioned that family can not have you withhold information from the patient (e.g. a cancer diagnosis), don't we try to figure out why they want us to withhold information in the first place and IF we determine that the patient might actually end up harming themselves, we can withhold the diagnosis by invoking therapeutic privilege? Can therapeutic privilege be invoked even when the patient in question has capacity?
Video recommendation: common statistical test (T-test, AVOVA, Chi-square). No matter how much I "think" I understand it, I consistently miss questions.
Ryan, Thanks for the topic... Let me look into it... For the most part I just memorized an association... ie. knowing ANOVA has 3 syllable and thus associated with "3 way test"... Let me see if I can find any questions to teach from...
@randy neil : hey dr randy , i thank you for all of your videos 😍, your videos helped a lot and i finished my step1 successfully, have my step 2 in a month😊 Please can you make more videos on ethics whenever time permits Step1,2,3 all of them have focused highest on ethics now 10-15% of the exam is from ethics Topics : legal/ethical issues , professionalism/systems based practice , patient safety . These are the topics they are focusing on Would love to see more videos on ethics Thanks in advance 😊😍
I sort of mentioned that in my "IMG to Chief" video, bu tin a nutshell.. uWorld is for learning purposes (not assessment) and NBME is your assessment piece to know if you are ready.
Always a fantastic job, Dr. Neil, thank you so much! Just a point/comment: I had a question on a Qbank that pretty much sums up the fact that the doctor decided that his pregnant patient should have a C-section instead of a vaginal delivery because of placental previa, against his patient's choice (she wanted a vaginal birth even after learning about the risks). This was ethical, according to the answer, by "Direct Counseling," where there's is only ONE medically reasonable solution that's backed with evidence. I guess what the answer is talking about is that the patient may refuse a treatment, even if the fetus is at risk, ONLY if there are other evidence-based options that would also protect the patient.
Hi Dr Neil, Regarding the relationship part with non psychiatric patients I believe I saw a question on uworld a while back that basically said a patient physician relationship cannot be terminated essentially pointing out you would be compromising the care to pursue a relationship since you normally would have kept treating the patient. Hope that helps! If I could find the question I would have linked it but it was so long ago.
Thank you so much for another valuable video👏💐 I have purchased UWORLD but I am not familiar how to study? Or make a plan it would be highly appreciated if you make a video on that please
I read somewhere that there has to be a wait period of around 2 years before a former doctor and patient can get into a relationship. In this 2 years period there should be no doctor patient relationship of any sort.
our local pysch dr dated one of his patients, almnost lost his license. fast foward 20 years she tried to shoot him and crashed into a tree doing 60+ he winded up loosing his licnese after.
In general (jokingly of course) I advise people never to ever date someone working in Psychiatry... Typically someone working in Psychiatry is there to meet their own needs (heal themselves). I assume this guy was probably a "let me save you" type... and the dynamic was imperfectly-perfect. Sort of a Co-dependent meets Cluster-B type. It's a dance. From my experience and observation, unless one of the parties can evolve from that dynamic it will not end well. People get hurt on many levels. Thank you for sharing.
I read on Amboss today that as you stated , if the doctor knows about the mental trauma of the patient , they cannot date at any point of time whatsoever . It also said that they MAY date if it's been more than 12 months since the patient has been treated by the doctor (provided that the doctor is not their psychiatrist or does not know of their mental trauma ).
Not sure Amboss’ source., but as a Psychiatrist, having any type of relationship with a patient is wrong. Maybe they know something I don’t, but I’d advise putting “Never”.
Thank you so much- I did watch your stats videos but still not getting them right on Uworld (its awfully hard on uWorld), but sometimes hit or miss on the nbmes. If there were one thing to focus for stats, would be knowing the TP, FP, TN, FN?
In the first question, the pt likely has a Sexually transmitted infection. So in that case, aren't we supposed to inform the wife even without the husband's permission?
Thank you so much Dr Randy, your videos are super helpful. The question about "offering the insulin, though allow patient to refuse"? I would think she has already been offered the insulin from the vignette and she already refused, so why is that the answer choice. Shouldn't the correct answer be to discharge patient "against medical advice"? Thanks
Love your series. Regarding your final statement on pregnant patients refusing care for the fetus, ....apparently (and sadly) THAT is no longer as straight forward an answer as you gave from 4 years ago.
I love ur teaching skills... that’s really helpful.. can u plz make a video on communication skills.. newly added section in step 1 N plz plzz also explain whats kaplan meier survival analysis n population pyramids
hello amazing vid.... for the male pt that cheated ... does he have an STD ? and if so would we report it to the CDC than the CDC reports to the wife ????
Is that still true about pregnant women being able to refuse treatment, even if the fetus is at risk? Since Roe v. Wade was overturned and all the recent changes w/ women's rights :( - very curious about that, thank you :)
@@RandyNeilMD Thnx doc For now I’m studying biostatics , so I’m getting to all of ur biostatics videos . Til I reach the ethics , by that time , u will already make video abt step 2 ethics 👍
Regarding doctor patient relation you mentioned that you can have relation if you end doctor patient relation and then can have relation with patient but it will make person in danger as you ended doctor patient relation as she/he wont get care
if the patient is psychiatric then it is not ethical to b in a relationship with him/her but if the patient is not psychiatric then relationship is allowed only when patient is not attending the same doctor
HOMEWORK ASSIGNMENT - The GENETICS Video will be worked on SOON. Memorize the diseases of each Category. This is strict MEMORIZATION. I will teach the skill...
thank you so much Dr. Neil. Looking forward to it.
sir please explain why we don't need to inform if the physician is HIV positive ?
It was felt that there was negligible risk of transmission and forcing Health care workers to disclose would prevents them from getting tested etc... Therefore, there is no obligation to disclose. Unless it has changed recently...
