@Milamberinx "Doctor Mike" is his social media name, his last name is a more difficult to pronounce. Majority of the time, you refer to doctors by their title and last name, it's well known.
Blocking someone, doubling down, and clipping out key parts of statements to make the other person sound bad... That guy is so jealous of Doctor Mike he can barely contain it.
i don't think it has anything to do with jealousy... he sells misinformation... the last thing you want is the correct information by someone with a large following
Jealousy isn't it, they're just mad at being corrected and trying to protect their scam. These are all traits I'd expect to encounter in the RU-vid comments here, not in a doctor, either way.
Him blocking you is a sign of intense immaturity. And the fact that he didn't even stop at blocking you, he went as far as to block bear, and multiple other people that disagreed or had any connection with you. That screams "Im immature and can't deal with being told I'm wrong."
Which is a very dangerous attitude to have, especially as a medical professional. It means you'll never believe you're doing something wrong and if a treatment isn't working, instead of investigating why you'll just blame the patient for not doing something right.
@@SuzySue415 He only started saying that because people were calling him out, there were chances for him to admit he was wrong and he didn't only when he was backed into a corner did he apologize.
If I ever become a therapist I'm going to use the line, "how insecure would you say you are, on a scale from one to blocking a dog on Instagram because his owner corrected you?"
No please don't. Listen, i do side with you with the idea, but "the ick"? Peoples keep complaining "every generation get dumber", but how do you want to prove them wrong by using children language? What's the next step? "me icky icky belly, me no likey"? Please be a semi-litterate adult and say "this disgust me" or something that don't make you look like a degenerate... And that's coming from a foreigner.
I'm a pharmacist and this hurts to watch. Medical misinformation and disinformation is absolutely rampant and the last thing we need is a doctor contributing to this and further harming patient health literacy. Great breakdown Mike, love your work.
Hello! I was wondering if I could ask you how your APPEs went. I'm starting my APPEs in the fall in was looking for advice on how to get the most of my time. Thanks!!!
It is actually a large problem now, we need more doctors like Mike on social media and elsewhere. I have Crohn’s disease and saw a program that talked about and focussed on bowel issues and they had an episode on Crohns, so I watched it, the doctor they got on was awful and didn’t know what she was talking about. She said the only two options for treatment are steroids or surgery, completely ignoring the fact that immune system suppressants (azathioprine, mesalamine, etc) and biologics are an option too, Humira, a biologic for IBD has been around for at least 20 years. Steroids are only a short term treatment and most people with Crohns or other IBD are on immune system suppressants or biologics and they do work very well, meaning people now are unlikely to ever need surgery for it. She really can’t argue that she didn’t know, the drugs have been around and used for a while and pretty much everyone now does end up on them, the first treatment they try is steroids to try and get it under control, if it doesn’t stay under control they go for immune system suppressants and if that doesn’t work they go for biologics, surgery is a last resort option that is only used when no other treatment has helped or there is too much scarring built up, even then surgery just leads to more scarring so isn’t a perfect solution and it doesn’t stop it from coming up elsewhere in the bowel. Some of the other things she said are actively harmful to the public perception of IBD. She spoke a lot about diet and how that is important and can treat IBD. It doesn’t. There is no real evidence that diet can treat it at all really (there are a series of papers published by the same group of people but I don’t consider them as real evidence until papers come out from other researchers which for some reason they have not) other than a liquid diet of nutritional drinks which only works because it puts very little stress on the bowel since it is a liquid, they often use it in children and teenagers to avoid having to use steroids. As for food triggers for IBD, foods that make it worse, they vary from person to person and some people, like me, don’t have any noticeable food triggers. For people with IBD, “healthy” diets can actually be the most harmful or most likely to cause problems because of the extra stress they put on the bowel, especially high fibre or whole food diets because they are harder to digest, for a lot of people the foods they turn to as their “safe” foods when in a flare are what most people would consider unhealthy, lots of carbs, lots of processed food (like fast food), but it is easy to digest and hence lessens their symptoms (note it doesn’t treat them it just doesn’t aggravate them). The reason her going on about diet is harmful is because of what most people think of when they hear of bowel problems, people automatically jump to diets and suggest diets when really IBD is nothing to do with diet, it is not a food intolerance or allergy, it is an autoimmune condition that just happens to be in the bowel but because people hear bowel they jump to diet. People don’t suggest diets for other autoimmune conditions like diabetes, asthma, eczema, some arthritis, MS, etc, but because the bowel is involved everyone thinks of diet. This on its own might not seem harmful but it is the judgement that comes with it, people thinking you only have IBD because you have a bad diet or judging you for eating certain things when you have IBD or judging you and deciding that you aren’t trying to get better because you aren’t trying different diets or ones they suggested (their suggestions come from absolutely nowhere, they just heard a diet is healthy and think that is the answer). I looked up the doctor afterwards and it seemed she was not a practicing doctor anymore, instead she ran meditation and yoga classes that could apparently help treat autoimmune conditions (no evidence for this either). It is irresponsible for people like this to get put on TV shows since they really don’t know what they are talking about, on top of that they only get one doctor on so there is no one there to fact check it so the doctors can really say whatever they want. The programs main goal was to raise awareness and understanding but a lot of people would argue it did the opposite and just reinforced existing misconceptions by having a “doctor” repeat them and having a doctor prescribe diets to people with IBD rather than actual treatments.
@@conorstewart2214Just one correction: diabetes is not an autoimmune disease. It’s metabolic disease caused by insulin resistance - according to some reliable medical experts.
"Correlation does not equal causation" is a phrase I learned very young, and I try to remind myself as often as I can. Thank you for fighting misinformation.
Many physicians are open to be wrong, I’m around physicians of all specialties….good physicians not only attend continuing education, but ask the speaker questions, medicine changes…when you arrive at the ED, they have to figure out what’s wrong…and they use experience, education and each other to decide on treatment. If your dr can’t be wrong, get a new dr.
My favorite doctor had no reservations about pulling his reference materials off the shelf and consulting them when he didn't know/wasn't sure. He was all about expanding his skill set. We lost him due to the small town problem of patients knowing where he lived and bothering him at his door over nonsense. Interrupting a birthday party his wife worked hard to organize on a weekend (kid had a cold with a snotty nose), was the last straw, she wanted out and now they're gone.
Aw, that’s terrible! I would’ve installed a fancy fence and shrubs and a sign to help keep people out, or make the property gated. So the local Karens could get the picture 😂
The biggest laugh I got was that guy going on “if you’re not gonna say something nice…”. I can’t imagine being a doctor, crying about another Dr “being mean” by correcting your dangerous advice. What a joke.
A bombshell story came out from Washington Free Beacon where whistleblower professors from UCLA Medical School called it a failing medical school because administration lowered standards to such an extent that 50% of classes fail their basic medical knowledge exams! Students argue with professors when they’re called out for making mistakes. We entered into a dangerous are where meritocracy has been replaced with activism and entitlement in professional careers. Doctors with Harvard degree no longer means the smartest in the population when schools lower scores for certain groups so they have a chance to enter the programs.
I prefer "Speak the truth in love." You can correct someone without attacking someone, but it's also important to learn how to take valid correction without feeling like you're being attacked. I would hope a medical doctor would be willing to take correction when they're wrong!
@fosseli I stole it from someone too (they had phrased it slightly differently), and it has stayed with me ever since. It seems to come from the Bible- Proverbs 9:8.
@@laurenlozano1366 Love the shorter phrasing though. Gets down to the bone of it's meaning. Full quote is so fitting internet culture. proverbs 9:7-12: "Whoever corrects a mocker invites insults, whoever rebukes the wicked incurs abuse. Do not rebuke mockers or they will hate you, rebuke the wise and they will love you. Instruct the wise and they will be wiser still, teach the righteous and they will add to their learning. The fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom, and knowledge of the Holy One is understanding. For through wisdom your days will be many, and years will be added to your life. If you are wise, your wisdom will reward you, if you are a mocker, you alone will suffer."
When someone blocks you from making criticism, and then tells you to "be nice" or "if you don't have something nice to say, don't say anything at all", it's basically a way to say "mind your own business" well attempting to look polite while being a bully. One of the clearest signs that someone is up to no good is when they don't properly respond to your criticism, but instead go after the person making the criticism with insults in an attempt to discredit them or make them look bad. Thank you for making this video, Dr. Mike, and please keep up the great work! I'm new to your videos and I'm really enjoying them.
Actually, I _want_ people to double down when they get called out on mistakes - that is, if 'doubling down' means owning their mistakes. What worries me a heck of a lot more is an actual doctor trying to hand-wave an important correction with that "well, you know, if you don't have anything nice to say ..." _WT- ??????_
Regular physicians aren’t specialized in pharmacology. If I need to know more about my meds, I’m coming to you, a pharmacist who specifically went to school for this! I’ve had a pharmacist ask me about my meds before (not just the quickie that some meds seem to always trigger) and I’ve heard from multiple friends and family that a pharmacist has caught a dangerous combo! Thanks for that!!
I worry for his patients. He seems unable to take criticism and accept that he may be misinformed or wrong on certain topics. Thinking that one is infallible will only lead to patients who are dissatisfied at best, and harmed at worst.
Even with medical degrees, people lack humanity & empathy towards their patients, and are prejudiced or consumed by greed. I've met way too many doctors like that.
I remember reading an article on the law of stupidity. The author said stupid people are in every walk of life, every level of education, etc. Stupid people are everywhere. It takes effort to not be stupid, and not everyone wants to put in that effort.
You know what they call a medical student with a D- average who passes all the tests and successfully graduates with that D- average, then gets a license? Doctor.
What this proves is gifts can be curses. Where there’s good also always bad. Nobody is perfect. Do your own research and trust your own instincts but also take judgement from others. The man had the ability to get an education many others fail at or won’t even ever attempt yet he’s cursed by his personality. That same mind that made him so successful is also making him suffer.
I showed the video to my father, who is a pharmacist, and he immediately said no after hearing "sildenafil". Edit: I also work for him sometimes, and even though I've only worked for him on and off for about a year, I knew something was wrong with that statement.
@@DoctorMikeHey Doctor Mike! You handled this very well! Me and my friends love watching your videos! Love from Nashville 🧡🤍 (ps. rib and bear are so cute)
I remember Brian Cox, an extremely highly regarded scientist, when asked about life in our universe, saying, “I would love to be proved wrong. When we’re wrong, that means we’ve learned something.”
@@khasualentertainment6734 After watching a few of Dr. Mike's videos, I'm guessing he's in his mid 30s knowing he's of Russian ethnicity? I think you're right though. The other doc has naturally more baby fat in his face. His hair is also a much younger style.
As someone who’s been sick my entire life, finding out the cause and reason is 10000000% required before treating because otherwise you’re treating symptoms not what’s causing said symptoms and potentially just making things worse. Trying to get doctors to give me a reason for cause vs prescriptions is so difficult due to lack of adequate care now. It’s awful.
Yep, another RN here, I never saw this until today, I never take a doctor that recommends metformin en masse seriously, not to mention the rest of those medications.
It's just amazing. He's acting as if his own clip was the same sort of thing... but it wasn't, it was his own RU-vid short, he's the one that didn't put any nuance in his own video. Dr. Mike didn't clip out the nuance, he simply NEVER conveyed it.
All logic and reason has left that guy, if he can’t see the difference between a planned short video where none of the video or context is cut out and a clip of a larger video where all context is cut out, then I really don’t think he should be a doctor.
You know what's wild? Medicine commercials. Those are the same thing: recommending a medicine in short video format. I don't think I or anyone I know has ever "discussed with your doctor if you think CeraVe is right for you"
well the dogs account is clearly owned by mike himself, i dont believe a dog can make an instagram account by themselves. Blocking bear's account would disable mike from accessing his account from other profiles he owns.
"Didn't know we were on a first name basis" is th politest way to say, "There's a reason why I have this title before my name, and an oversight for why you do."
It's so satisfying to see you be able to firmly and thoroughly check his behavior while maintaining your own standards of ethics and kind and professional behavior. Way to go Dr Mike!
He wasn’t wrong though. This goofball wants all men to be in a diabetic coma with a hairy,fishy smelling hard on. Moral to the story? Don’t be that guy,and don’t be the guy that falls for it either. Thanks DrMike! 👊🏻
@@ReeceJohnson-v7p my arm repeatedly thought it was a bad thing, my immune system thought it was an annoying thing.

Distemper in an SOB my age is a sad thing to see. ;)
As a child of two pharmacists, who have corrected their fair share of wrong prescriptions, or prescriptions given without properly considering other medication already taken, my eye starts twitching listening to that doctor
Pharmacists are a valuable medical resource. Not the one who remarked, when I went to pick up my psychiatric prescription, “This medication must really be helping. You seem much better!” There are professional lines one should know better than to cross.
I feel like that should be reported on the doctor for neglecting the patients health. I dont understand why medical professionals have so much leeway in their poor treatment of patients- nvm its a monetary industry now so ofc corporations will incentivize what makes them the most at cost of citizens
@breathoffreshair7795 many times patients don't accurately give their medication list or forget some meds especially if they are prescribed by different doctors.
Ive had a midwife prescribe me medication when i was pregnant i asked if it was ok to take while pregnant they said no, im so thankful for pharmacists the correct alot of mistakes
I've had pharmacists question my med list when it's actually correct (I'm a trans woman and once got a note basically going "estradiol for [someone listed as] male? was this a mistake?") and I didn't begrudge them in the slightest because yeah, that's a reasonable thing to flag for double checking and once it *was* double-checked they filled the order. Honestly it made me feel safer because it means another person paying attention to catch mistakes that could be dangerous.
As a Type-2 Diabetic who was prescribed Metformin in the past, it only served to make me really sick. That is not to say that it's a universally bad medication, of course, but only to highlight that not every medication is a good fit for every person. Everyone's health is different! And saying that "Every X must take Y medication" feels fundamentally foolish and reckless for a licensed doctor to say.
Spot on. There is always a percentage of the population that is allergic to some drugs. Or allergic to some foods. If peanuts were found to be life extending you still would not say all men should eat peanuts. Because a certain percentage of them will die if they eat one.
I was prescribed metformin a year or two ago and it made me totally nauseous. I decided to get off of it because, for me, the nausea was NOT worth the potential benefits. To suggest that everyone take a certain medication is embarrassing and dangerous.
I found this channel by accident. I was watching Dr Karan Rajan and Dr "Mike" was mentioned. I love it. In fact I spent countless hours for good and unbiased view of modern life, medications and prevention. This is it. I am tired of these fake gurus. You keep going Dr "Mike"
The fact that he clipped somthing you said to purposely try to make you sound bad is a major indication he should probably have his practice investigated and his career brought into question. If he is willing to slander someone over something so small makes me wonder what he is doing to his patients.
To give him the benefit of the doubt (which he barely deserves) it did appear he was trying to make a point about context and clipping himself. But the fact that the issue isn’t with others clipping his videos, but his own editing and content decisions made this whole point a straw man.
People need to realise that if something is too short of a clip then it's probably a false representation of what happened in the video. People are dumb as hell.
A doctor recommending prescription medication in a short should be illegal. Thats insane. I dont know how he would ever think thats ok even if he was correct about the health benefits. And the fact that he wasnt is even more concerning.
It's entirely laughable because he's a cosmetic dermatologist. The only advice this walking embodiment of a migraine could even get away with giving is what face cream he would recommend to appeal to someone's overinflated vanity. And I will always point out when over-glorified makeup artists don't stay in their own lane.
Unfortunately, in a country where it's still legal to commercially advertise medications, this sort of thing is similarly legal even though it shouldn't be. Healthcare should only be a public service, not a commercial enterprise, as when it's the latter people's lives are put at risk for money they're not only not getting any of, but literally paying themselves. And before anyone says "medicine is a profession too", many public services are professions so that's not an excuse and we don't need additional incentives to improve healthcare either because improved health is the best incentive, in fact the monetary incentive is what increases the risk of putting out unnecessary or lower quality medications so the monetary incentive actually harms quality of care.
That's what I don't get from America. They advertise drugs, and since he do this as an indirect recommendation, he's "guilt-free", something an irresponsible people would do.
while i agree with your sentiment, i think there is a pretty big difference between recommending a prescription medication and prescribing a medication. 🤓
@@pandagod1773 While there definitely is a difference, when people watch a *doctor* recommend a medication or treatment or whatever, there will always always always be those who then ask for this medication, get it from somewhere they’re not supposed to, try to convince a doctor to prescribe it, etc. It’s pretty darn reckless, especially with how unproven/disproven it is.
@@aperson6799 that is all true and why i agree with the original commenter. the only part of his comment i was trying to correct is that the doctor in the video was recommending everyone to take the medications and not actually prescribing them to the entire population as the comment says.
My favorite thing about Dr. Mike is that not only did he show multiple studies to disprove this doctor, but he also had a specialist in this area of expertise come speak about it 👏
Even more than that: one of the studies is the one the incorrect guy was trying to hide behind - but this time used CORRECTLY! (with pointing out that while the results are there, they are preliminary, and the authors themselves talk about it)
The fact that the dermatologist's doctor blocked you on every single social media platform tells you all you need to know about his weaknesses, insecurities, and his character. He literally exposed himself, and most likely, his own patients will see this, and chances are high they'll seek a different physician! Great video with an appropriate response Dr.Mike and Dr.Danielle Belardo is a Godsend👍
I saw this doctor’s video and as a pharmacist immediately saw the harm and misinformation. Reported his video. Don’t know what happened later. Glad Dr Mike tried to talk to him and then making this video. Childish to block Dr Mike and other doctors
I was just going to say this since I'm a pharmacist too! I never watched the other video but when the meds were listed, I bawked at the idea of a dr recommending those to everyone and then top that off with the fact that he's a dermatologist, the first thought was, "are we practicing within our scope of practice? 🤔"
This "doctor" has deleted his follow-up video. The original misinformation short/tik tok is still there, but this other video isn’t. So that’s interesting.
The fact this is the second time I’ve seen this ‘doctor’ get called out by other professionals about misinformation only for him to try and double down while continuing to be wrong is mind blowing. He’s also been called out for incorrect information about skin care
Yes! I can't remember if it was the Welsh Twins reacting to him together or if they each did their own videos. But yeah, they didn't like his skincare or makeup advice either.
Dang, if he's a dermatologist then skin care is the last thing I'd expect him to mess up. That's really bad, since people are likely to think "He's a dermatologist, so he must know what he's talking about." =/
As a physician, it is so frustrating when other physicians take small pieces of evidence from initial studies and leap to making universal recommendations based on them. It's dangerous and is not the way to practice medicine. I see it very often with a lot of docs on social media. Good on you, Dr. Mike, for fighting the good fight against misinformation.
Ivermectin was a prominent example of jumping the gun with early test results and overhyping a drug all over social media. Double checking a systematic review paper published in 2024, it still hasn't been officially recommended as a treatment but it does have some anti-viral properties. Even if it was confirmed and recommended later on, it's too soon to recommend at that time.
This is why all doctors need to be scientists!!!! I’m applying to medschool right now after spending to years at NIH and one of the things I learned from my experience is that science is a slow process and new research should be approached very conservatively!
This doctor is dangerous. As a patient, how am i suppose to question that man when he prescribes me or recommend me something like this ?! Im glad we have Doctor Mike
Well you handled that with the most professional and tactful grace anyone could. So kudos to you and staying a professional when you're clearly being attacked speaks volumes. I'd watch and rely on your content over that other guys any day of the week. I pray he doesn't harm people thanks to you.
It is extremely disrespectful for another Dr to not say “Dr” and then first name. Dr. Mike was giving a subtle, “ok that was disrespectful”. The only good response this other doctor could’ve given was “I shouldn’t have formatted my video that way, thank you for the response DR. Mike.” But instead he decided to react like a 4 year old. And it usually goes Dr. Last name, but since that’s literally his channel name, I would assume that’s what he wants to be called lol
@@joeycampbell940actually, he worked extremely hard for many years to earn that title. It IS disrespectful to call him by his first name when you don’t know him personally, therefore it is customary to call him by his title, which is DR.
Mike is always like that so that's why i follow him. He is how every doctor should be. Here doctors mostly prescribe "medicaments" for consequence, which is not solving actual issue.
I always appreciate Dr. Mike for recognizing the limitations of his own knowledge and double checking with specialists to make sure the information he is giving is accurate instead of talking out of his ass
We need more MD's like that. It's kind of a harsh reality that "some" and I do stress that, some medical personnel do not learn from their mistakes. Seems to be an ego thing. And we all as a society suffer for that flaw. But Dr. Mike has admitted he's made mistakes, and this leads to a much better, more evidence based physician who will do what he can to help and educated his audience and his patients.
I stopped counting the amount of doctors, aestheticians, makeup artists and experts from all fields called this men out. His list of blocked ppl should resemble a CVS receipt by now
You're not wrong. A couple of his videos popped up in one of Robert Welsh's videos I watched the other day. I'd never even heard of this guy until then, and now Dr. Mike's video.
I just commented the same! I could "understand" if he got information out of his field wrong -I say this with a grain of salt because you should research what u post if you're a doctor- but he's always sharing wrong information even when its his supposedly field of expertise! chilllllllll i'm tired
If he doubles down again, that man really needs to be banned from that platform for harming people. You not claimed his stuff was wrong, but actually proved it with other doctors.
Totally agree, but he probably won't as long as he's driving traffic to the platform. He is actually seriously risking losing his medical license with content like that. If he keeps it up, it's only a matter of time. Maybe he doesn't care though, maybe he's hoping to be the next Dr. Oz or something. Medical professions need to be sooooo careful about what they say and how they say it, because they don't just represent themselves, they represent their entire profession, and harming public trust in their profession creates serious problems in society (see: antivaxxers, Goop, etc). We saw that with Jordan Peterson having his psychology license revoked by the college here in Ontario. Peterson isn't even actively practicing anymore, but the college couldn't remain aligned with his harmful content and rhetoric, or they risk losing the trust of a significant portion of the public. They had to cut him loose, regardless of whether or not he's actually using his license. Any "doctor" or "nurse" who recommends people take certain substances or adhere to certain diets without knowing their medical history can't be trusted.
@@suchnothing I get what you're saying, bit using Jordan Peterson as an example cuts your credibility & logic. He literally got axed for refusing to relinquish his right to speak freely on a biological & political matter. 🙄 Canada is going way too hard on government control.
Genuine question - can he be reported for this? Seems crazy that doctors are allowed to just share misinformation like this that could really hurt people. Dr. Mike, thanks for calling it out and always using evidence-based information.
I am pretty sure he can, I don't remember it at all, but I do vaguely remember some doctors being stripped of their license and faced something for spreading misinformation whilst being a doctor.
stop being a tool. that's what this grandstanding prick Dr. Mike made this video to do. he's not up on the science and just going after another Doctor who isn't a coward like him.
@@ntuthukomdluli-pd9jv Yes but this is beyond that. He has multiple doctors correcting him and he blocks them and continues on even knowing that he is wrong. This has gone past being a mistake and is now him purposefully harming people with this "advice".

Believe me I see it all the time, some doctors have insanely inflated egos, are immature/childish, and wave their credentials as if they’re untouchable/never wrong. It’s sad to see, I wish there were more providers like Dr. Mike.
I be thinking the same thing. Some ppl are just book smart and that’s where it ends fit them. I can’t imagine how messy the rest of this guys life is. He probably a troll on blank pages after hours.
@@spicyfluff45 Whats the old Joke? "Whats the difference between god and a Surgeon? Good doesn't think he's a Surgeon". Working in a hospital in IT, oh god do most Doctors have an Ego.
This shows exactly why Dr. Mike is the bomb. He is savvy enough to know that this other guy is just trying to ride his coattails, to get traction and traffic. BUT, Dr. Mikes' desire to clear misinformation is his primary goal - so he is going to give in. Always putting us first. Thank you Dr. Mike!
His (the whack dermatologist) practice website basically makes it sound like his office is an exclusive clubhouse for those who can afford the “membership” that just screams hack to me, personally.
This is one of the reasons why Dr Mike is my favorite doctor that also delivers RU-vid content that both makes me laugh and also makes me learn something new every time
There is nothing wrong about BEING corrected or correcting SOMEONE! Especially in a field like Medical science. People constantly believe the Internet especially if that person is a doctor. IN THIS FIELD, PEOPLE CANNOT BE SO SENSITIVE OR CHILDISH! IT IS A GROUP WORK, ONE MISTAKE CAN BE LETHAL! THANK YOU DR. MIKE FOR STANDING UP AGAINST MISINFORMATION. HUGE RESPECT 🙏
The entire collection of fields of science DEPEND on correction. It's literally how science develops. Defending one's position is entirely legitimate, but cutting yourself off from good faith critique is defeating the point.
that's why I'm such a fan of Dr. Mike, I find myself enjoying his videos and how he speaks to not only my scientific loving side, but he doesn't make it sound confusing.
love how Dr.Mike breaks down every sentence instead of responding under a broad umbrella interpretation. Real practice of critical thinking we all need.
So many "doctors" shouldn't be doctors. They pass around misinformation and ignore people when presented with actual problems. Very grateful for your care to present accurate information to the public.
Especially when they are going outside their specialty. Dr. Mike is family medicine which is a bit more broad than dermatology but he also uses other doctors who specialize in other areas when talking about stuff (like he did here).
Such a sad thing seeing a qualified doctor choosing that route. Making clickbaity, misinforming video for who knows what, completely abandoning his responsibility as a physician. Thank you Dr. Mike. Watched your content since Covid and it’s one of the best thing I discovered ever.

@@markdouglas1601 got to disagree with you there.

So I think there’s gotta be something in place to make sure that professionals stay on a proper lane with sharing info.
@@markdouglas1601 The problem is viewers as well some doctors are not understanding the topics.

Its why dr. mike got other doctors involved in those fields. The doctor with the misinformation is for skin and he is even telling that info wrong. NOT every doctor graduated with honors same with any other degree but you don't spread misinformation that can get people hurt which is why dr. mike is talking about this.

Unlike this dermatologist who "prescribes" people meds they dont need/are harmful. I'd prefer a Dr Mike medical influencer than this Charles MD(?) Its also quite apparent this dermatologist is sponsored by the companies of the products they advertise
Ugh, I am a paramedic. Often times there will be a doctor on scene trying to "help". I got annoyed and asked what kind of doctor. He said DERMATOLOGIST. Thanks but I'll fall back on my training because imma bet I've come across this situation more often than the Dermatologist. 🤦🏽♀️ We appreciate your content Dr. Mike!
The only time I ever had an off-duty doctor on scene was on a witnessed arrest. He was an anesthesiologist and happened to be the neighbor. You know what he did? Asked if we needed any help or anything and then stepped away. Good dude.
I’m a nurse and once a girl fainted (hypocalcemia apparently) in class and our prof, a doctor, didn’t know what to do he just froze, thankfully the ambulance got there in minutes but that reminded me that not all doctors would be helpful in an emergency situation.
Hey, my aunt was given live saving cpr by a kind of doctor i didn't even know existed, and I am still not sure what they do. Seriously, what is an endocrinologist?
When I was in med school a dermatology resident pointed out that while one might see lots of interesting skin diseases, a dermatologist should enjoy treating acne. It seems Dr Charles has tired of treating acne. Also I ran across a BMJ article this am about overtreatment and overdiagnosis from 2018. They pointed out that fragmentation of medical care into multiple subspecialties has some downsides and GPs (PCPs in the US), like Dr. Mike, should play a serious role in protecting patients. Over-testing is an issue as well. Great job, Dr. Mike.
Dr.Mike is the definition of "I have no enemies". He clearly was the bigger man here and acted way more professional than the other doctor but still chose to leave the beef behind him and just recommends all medical professionals who are content creators to just make more content that is against misinformation.
I'm a professor of nursing and will be adding this to my lecture on atherosclerosis. Helpful way to get the idea across in another method (and warn about not trusting everything you see online).
And this topic certainly gets everyone's attention. It also shows how important it is not to cure symptoms, but to look into a cause of it - to save lifes!
@@alis49281 Searching (asking lifestyle, environment questions), testing for ROOT causes is not a new concept. Docs in USA have been SCHOOLED to Ignore. Eventually, money becomes motivators to follow the course.
@@alis49281Most doctors and nurses in the US and UK either don’t care to get to the bottom of issues or aren’t allowed to by their overloads. It’s shocking how bad medical care is in the US now. It’s worse than some third world countries, and at 5-10x the cost.
@@JohnSmith-op7ls Germany has indeed the same problems, but the costs are not that high and the consequences nowhere near that. Out of desperation people then ask the Internet. Or they might be bombarded with advertising to "cure fatigue" "heal diabetes" "lose weight" "heal their liver"....
That guy gets called out on bad info all the time and his reaction is always to double down and block people. He is the personification of "C's and D's get degrees"
Love that this is a dermatologist, recommending medication, for symptoms that are outside of dermatology. Just because he prescribes the medication for one skin disorder, doesn't mean it is a preventative for for it, when there are so many other bodily functions that the medication could also affect. I'm so glad you were able to get another doctor on board to also collaborate against this guy! Stick to your field, and realise each individual person is unique, there is no medication for EVERYONE of any sex.
"If you can't say anything nice, don't say anything at all"? Dang, doctor what's his face should take his own advice! Right on, Dr Mike. You wouldn't expect a narcissist to accept any kind of accountability.
If the “if you can’t say anything nice, don’t say anything at all” applied for doctors, I would make doctor appointments a lot less stressful… but not very helpful
@giulia6344 How is treating people with respect and common courtesy "not very helpful"? I never said he or she shouldn't tell a patient. What is wrong with their health. I was sticking up for Doctor Mike for calling out that other Doctor who obviously can't handle being corrected.
