Doctor On The Street | Curbside Consult NYC # 3 

Why apples though? 😅

@@nikavaj an apple a day keeps the doctor away

doctor mike is a joking person . also the person is really great kind hearted he's a normal human being its normal that there's a mistake even prophets also have fauls and sins you are also many wrong too many sins just correct yourself

​@@nikavajthere is a saying an apple a day keeps the doctor away and mike is a doctor sooooooooo😂😂😅

I wonder how Doctor Mike would react to me then. I love apples. Super crunchy, sweet and delicious. 😋

I love how kind and gentle Dr. Mike is as he towers over you😂

A true gentle giant, like his bear 🐻

I’m 6’7” so I tower over most people, but I’m very kind. People call me the gentle giant. Or the jolly green giant like they guy on the canned corn lmao

How tall is he?

@@synergyrevolution23326’3”

I'm a practice nurse and in the UK we only have 10 minutes for general consults unless it's a diabetic annual review. I feel we should always holistically assess and be given that time to do so

10 minutes! Wow, that is not enough time!!

Thank you for saying this. As a patient it often feels like you won't get any help unless you're already dying

Not just that, but doctors discourage patients from discussing multiple issues. They make you make multiple appointments for different problems

@@Trux2010 Never needed much time with the doctor. But the few times I went he was actually proactive. Raising an issue I did not even come for, like doing a blood test because of the risk of high cholesterol (family thing). But had a friend who indeed had a doctor who would only do one issue at a time, even when she was new there. Like....at least have one conversation where you can lay out your ongoing medical issues.

A blessing indeed ❤

which autoimmune disease is it

@@code1253most people on the internet like to maintain anonymity, so they usually don’t mention what diseases they have or any specific conditions. I know when I mention any of my friends, I never say their gender or how old they are. Yeah, it doesn’t affect if someone is going to try and find me out obviously, they can find personal information much easier by hacking me, but I like to maintain privacy with myself and my relationships just out of respect and for keeping some level of privacy. It can also be disrespectful to ask that in the case that this person has a very serious auto immune disease and they don’t want to talk about it.

how are you so fluffy??

You already got the change he hoped for. A medical military hierarchy dictated by covid 19.

Me too

Maybe the squirrel 🐿️ has friends who give it a wash, blow-dry and brush like Dr Mike does with Bear ?😂😂

But alas, they weren’t ready to share their tips on floofiness! What a pity!

i live in denmark with free health care and i 100% feel not seen and heard by the doctors as well, you feel like a number, so this is a great message to spread and educate about

Finland too

same dude

Same in Norway honestly

I’ve never really thought about that😭 but I kinda don’t want them to remember me after…

..Guiding others to a treasure you can hardly possess?

@@VeryRGOTI what?

@@CraftingWithTopazI think they are trying to recite the phrase “guiding others to a treasure that you yourself cannot possess”. An example of this phrase is someone who is depressed and doesn’t feel “happy” trying to make their friends laugh and make them happy, or a doctor who doesn’t take care of themselves at all who is a doctor because they want to take care of others but they themself do not value self-care. They’re trying to say that you went from not being able to posses that treasure yourself with your old doctor who did not care, to a new doctor who let you vent about your health. It’s a weird situation to apply that phrase, though, as it’s more about the different mindset of the two doctors rather than you.

@SamRK-1000 Yeah, after your explanation, I'm not sure what his reply had to do with my experience. It wasn't just venting, it was having to advocate for myself so hard when I knew something was wrong, and the first doctor said, "You're young" and used that excuse to constantly dismiss me.

And address adult ADHD coping skills too, please.

A lot of people also get good information on ADHD from social media, it's just a matter of what sources you trust. I would definitely push back against generalizing social media as bad, even specifically in regards to topics like ADHD.

⁠​⁠@@violetleporid I definitely agree with you. A surprising amount of the people I know who do have ADHD and have since been diagnosed, began to learn more about it on TikTok. You go for so long thinking that your symptoms are normal, and then see someone who has it explain that they have the same symptoms as you. Don't base all your medical knowledge off of TikTok, but also keep in mind that not all of it is bad and do your own research.

Yes don't get your medical advice from Tik-Tok get it from RU-vid

@@mr.e7541I think the point is don’t base your info from TikTok or RU-vid. But rather use it as a starter to look into that said info

That’s amazing and I’m so glad you’re better! :D

For sure

except for being wrong about veganism being healthy at all stags of life. There is a reason it is considered child abuse.

​@@Waywardbiscuit it's not, actually??? It's just a lot of times parents don't go about it in the right way. I would personally never be a vegan but there are so many things in the market to help someone of any age be a vegan healthily. A lot of vegans in the media, however, are those that are just popping back Oreos and eating soy based products lathered in fat/grease, but there isn't a ton of good media showing how vegans can actually eat healthily and carry on normal lives.

@@Waywardbiscuit im pretty sure he said its not healthy if u just do it cause u can

Yayyyyyyyy

Thats amazing!

Good luck on the journey

Never can go wrong getting into a industry that only gets bigger.

Good luck 🫶

Don't forget your four covid vaccines Doctor Mike told you to receive.

It’s because they haven’t usually fallen behind in the earlier hours of the day. Good observation!

Maybe doctors and nurses need to get a siesta in their workday! A nice 20-45-minute nap or rest in a comfortable and dimly lit place. It can really recharge you to help finish the day. A longer sleep can be detrimental, however. I've found that a 10-20 minute nap boosts me, while getting an hour or more messes with getting to sleep that night.

I would absolutely believe it. The hard part for me is that I'm a night owl (I've been shamed about it and have tried a million times to change it), and thankfully I have a job that's mostly afternoon/evening, but that doesn't help me be awake and available during those productive morning hours. The doctor is awake, but I'm not, lol. I imagine it also deters night owls like me from studying medicine because then early mornings are an expectation for the rest of your life.

It can be useful for ANY job or profession.

best time is when they aren't exhausted or behind yet, but aren't tired anymore from waking up

five nights at freddy’s that’s where i wanna be do you not get it?

No he’s not lol there’s vegan doctors that are much better even if he’s pretty cool otherwise

​@@Cassxowarysorry but I personally know for a fact that my Mr has got a bigger more broader and extensive range of knowledge and is far better equipped and prepared than any other family doctor on the face of this earth. He's (2332) most definitely far more experienced than any other at his age, I shld know, I know exactly what it is that he has done to better himself not only as a person but also as a physician, a writer, a filmmaker an entrepreneur omg hes done so so much stuff, I am in absolute aww of my sweet mans dedication, loyalty, perseverance, focus and complete and absolute commitment to himself, his profession and humanity as a whole, He's gonna be president one day and Wen he is, He will have learnt from the very best and u will see sumthn absolutely f**en extraordinary happen in the lead up to that day as the world is gonna be such an amazing exciting and far safer, fairer and harmonious place to live, and the correct way of living ur best life will not be sum unattainable dream that eventually u give up on urself or sell ur soul for, hell no, what ever ur passion, whatever really truly sets ur whole being alight that u shine so bright in whatever it is u do and u work hard and never giv up, u will find ur rightful place within this world and Im telling u, there will not be any walls or borders to keep no one inside or out because this is our earth, for all of us, and we have all already lived and fought and died on almost every continent of this earth, unless u are a very young soul. WE have all been both dark and light skinned had slanty eyes, been tall asf, been short as sin, fat skinny, ugly, beautiful u name it, there will be no more fighting due to stupid religious or spiritual beliefs because we will all have a level of respect not only for ourselves but for all around us and live in a calmer more happier peaceful kinda existence. life truly was not supposed to as hard as it has been and it is truly gonna be amazing one day. Ull see, Ull see.

I would like to be diagnosed by him because if I'm diagnosed by the Doctors of my country, I'll lose my time omg

@@Cassxowary So you have to be a vegan doctor to be better? Sounds like you need to get your head out of the vegan sphere for a bit and understand that any doctor can be extremely knowledgeable no matter what they eat.

I love how Dr Mike is using his platform to spread good info

There's also lots of quality information out there! It's all about what sources you trust. Dr. Mike is quick to generalize TikTok as bad here but it's a lot more nuanced than that.

@@violetleporid If I hand you a bowl of 100 M&Ms and I tell you that 50 of those M&Ms contain a lethal dose of cyanide, are you going to recommend people to take a few and eat them because "some of them are quality"?

​@violetleporid It's true. However, in general, there are a lot of people trying to sell a miracle cure

​@@violetleporid Tiktok is never a good source 🤦🏻‍♀️

I really appreciate your comments on ADHD treatment, Doc! I'm newly diagonosed and it's upsetting to think about all the misinformation that's out there :(

You mean you wish more doctors took time away treating patients to become professional RU-vidrs

@@southcoastinventors6583I think what they mean is we need doctors that are more willing to communicate and actually understand what the patient needs.

i dont there is a reason you should never take nutritional advise from doctors. This one like so many are clueless on basic nutrition. His stance on veganism for kids shows this

​@southcoastinventors6583 So you're shaming him for making RU-vid videos while actively watching his videos? 🤣 Why are you here?

@@BombshElle_7 First of all I can't shame anyone into doing anything, second of all it take a big time commitment to run a successful RU-vid channel if you do not think its true it pretty easy to find out and finally I enjoy some of the videos especially those on current medical practices. As far as why I am here well I hope your school didn't skip se*xED but since this is a medical channel I am sure you can get some practical information.

Same thing he said Love from Canada ❤️❤️❤️❤️

You mean mike shall make more vidoes of doctor on the streets

These are some of my favorite Dr. Mike videos. Love the interactions

Thank you doctor Mike for being the amazing doctor I wish mine was. Your videos are awesome!

He’s not a surgeon though but still funny 😂
