Responding To YOUR Hottest Medical Takes 

As a cancer researcher, if cancer was cured tomorrow, everyone I know would be happy to find a new area of science to work in.

Hot take: insurance companies should not have the right to arbitrarily decide what is “medically necessary” for a patient when they’re not the ones actually providing patient care. Doctors should not have to constantly adapt their care services to meet the insurance company’s demands especially if that’s not the best care plan for the patient.

Fun little fact about the first hot take: Wales actually has the default of being an organ donor and you actually have to opt out instead of in, this was made because they noticed how many people actually wanted to be organ donors but obviously we don’t know when we die so they just don’t get round to like opting in

I absolutely hate when people shame others for deciding to put a disabled or elderly family member in a care home, saying they're abandoning them or that they're a horrible parent/son/daughter/sibling. Because the vast majority of times they clearly have absolutely no idea of what it means for a family to deal with that kind of situation, where everyone, and I mean truly everyone, has to step in and dedicate a good portion of their life to caring for that person. It's not just hanging out and spending some quality time with grandma, it's having no day off, it's washing them and cleaning them and feeding them and keeping them busy, happy and entertained 24/7, organizing meds, doctor visits and planning care turns, physically moving them if they're unable to, depending on the severity of their situation also dealing with violent outbursts and temper tantrums, getting insulted and pushed around, seeing their mental state deteriorate in front of your eyes while knowing you can do nothing to help them. It's feeling guilty and powerless, and constantly wondering if you're doing it right or making things worse. It's hell. You love them with all your heart but it's hell. And I will never blame anyone for deciding to take a step back and prioritize their own wellbeing and mental health. Because if I ever got to the point of being unable to take care of myself I would want my relatives to do the same

Hot take: dental and eye insurance should fall under health insurance. They all relate to health and whats inside our body. Health insurance should provide for dental and eye necesites.

The problem is that most people think cancer is this ONE thing that needs just ONE cure. And I’m just so, so tired of explaining.

For the ICU nurse wanting people who live unhealthy life styles to pay more should also think of this: Ontop of what Mike said, most people living excessively unhealthy lifestyles are often already lower class to lower middle class people. To put extra financial burden on people who already experience the most financial burden just seems completely unhelpful. We shouldn't be trying to squeeze water out of rocks. They don't have the money or time to either go to the gym or just workout freely on their own without a gym after working multiple overtime shifts to make ends meet. They don't have time to cook proper meals and may have to rely on high sodium/fat/preservative filled premade microwave cooked food or fast food. This high stress no free time lifestyle also causes people to drown in simple, easy to get pleasures life smoking, drinking, maybe even harder illegal/controlled substances just to get some stress relief for their day. Maybe they get very little sleep and feel the need to ingest unhealthy amounts of caffeine. All that should be a factor as well, not just the fact that you cant always prove it was 100% it was just an idiot making bad decisions vs a society thing. These people are often already poor and the USA's healthcare system is fucked up and expensive enough as is. Suggesting poor people, and while probably unintentional that's what you would be targeting I'm not calling you classist, be the one to shoulder higher medical bills is ludicrous and wrong. Also factor in PoC who are often nudged into poverty through similar points of view because often times PoC fall into these categories, and now you have a systemic racial issue as well as a classist one because that black person or hispanic person or whoever might be more largely targeted for these higher fee's at a higher %rate than a white one through no fault of their own. Again, I'm sure you just didn't think this all the way through ICU nurse. I'm not calling you classist. I'm not calling you racist. I'm not calling you a bad person. I understand it must be frustrating to see some chronic smoker paying the same amount of money for asthma or cancer treatment or whatever else as someone who lived an otherwise healthy lifestyle and got unlucky. It sucks seeing someone who essentially "brought it on themselves" bearing the same medical burden as someone who simply won the worst lottery imaginable. But at the end of the day, its usually more complicated than it looks. You only know their medical history, not their personal history, and thats important to remember. Sometimes, even when its technically a choice...its not as simple as it looks.

I love how empathetic and understanding of all sides, Dr. Mike is. It's such a rare, difficult thing to find in people nowadays ❤

The fact that DENTAL CARE is not considered in insurance, as if your teeth can't get sick! How it's separated from Healthcare like that is WILD to me.

Doctor mike giving his knowledge on medical hot takes is amazing, it allows him to vent his frustration while dealing with the misconceptions

Dr. Mike's answer to the ICU nurse's hot take on smokers, etc.... could not agree more and it's moments like this that make me love his videos!!!!

Thank you for addressing the "all cancer can be cured if it wasn't for big pharma greed" take. I work for a research company that does verification studies on drugs and treatments, and so so so much of our work is on cancer treatments. Cancer is an extremely complex and varied disease that there's no one simple cure. Also it is a spit in the face to all that do work on these treatments. Many of us have family that ends up needing these treatments, and in some cases our own coworkers do, too.

My husband was an ICU nurse and do you know what he saw all the time in the hospital? Unhealthy healthcare workers, including ICS nurses, not recognizing their own unhealthy behaviors while passing judgement on their patients. My mom, who was also a nurse, use to say, "they did it to themselves." all the time, until she was diagnosed with diabetes. Suddenly, it's genetics or a societal problem and not just her doing it to herself.

"To hurt someone who's already hurting"... Such profoundly kind and empathetic words ♥

Thank you for the sleep thing. My step dad has a very vocal problem with people who stay up late, and believe that it’s wrong, and I tell him when I try to go to sleep earlier it just doesn’t work for me (I end up just lying in bed unable to sleep). He thinks it’s a learned thing cuz my dad is a night owl, but it’s more coded into who I am. If I go to sleep early and wake up early, I’ll feel tired, even if I got 8-9 hours of sleep. If I go to bed between 2-3am and wake up between 10-11am, I feel more well rested and energetic for the day.

As an overweight woman, I constantly had doctors telling me to "Workout more" or "Eat more fruits and veggies." No one looked into the fact that I was working out often and I LOVE fruits and veggies. They all saw a teenage girl who was overweight and was too young to have anything seriously wrong that could cause my weight. Turns out I have PCOS which made it close to impossible for me to lose weight until I was put on birth control to balance out my hormones. Also adding to the struggle of losing weight was my breathing problems. My airways are already very small and I had an underdeveloped jaw that was crushing my airways that were already too small. All of this caused my extreme weight gain around puberty, but most doctors kept brushing me off. I refused to give up until I finally found a doctor who helped me and since then I have lost over 60lbs just by being treated for the medical reason for my weight gain. We NEED to stop assuming the problem by looking at people. Weather is be a male, female, cacausian, african ameriacn, etc. Find the truth not the assumption.

Its crazy how dismissive people are of mental health. Even a supposed ICU-Nurse overlooks it in some desire for the myth off meritocracy.

Fun fact: in The Netherlands you actually are a donor when you turn 18 and it's the default to list that you're not. They did it because often people forget to become a donor. But your direct family can still choose not to make you a donor after you've deceased

Paternity tests should be *mandatory* once a baby is born.

As someone who was diagnosed with Lyme Disease when I was little, I 100% agree. I never had a rash, and we never saw any ticks on me.

The thing with genetic testing also is that saying "10 time more likely" doesn't mean 1000%, it mean that... Let's say the average chance of getting a disease is 0.5%, then your chances are now 5%. Results like these scare people especially if it's a serious life altering/threatening condition.

As a nurse who is also a recovering addict, the misconceptions so many healthcare professionals have about addiction is very sad

I feel that there is so much compassion and understanding about both sides of the story in your answers... What a breath of fresh air! Thank you!❤

I like this quote, that people who are addicted to a substance will want to keep taking them not because it makes them feel "good" but because it makes them feel "less bad".

That ICU nurse terrifies me. Yes let's make medical access more difficult for at risk patients. "The beatings will continue until your attitude improves."

Hot take: therapy should been available for anyone who needs it and anything mental health related should be included in health insurance because it is just as important as our physical health!

You Dr. Mike Are a very Intelligent and thorough, thoughtful eloquent speaker. Your takes are answered honestly and actually so balanced and fair, make a whole lot of sense. Really enjoyed that vid 👏✔️✨🤍🎀

As a social worker - it's absolutely terrifying to hear an ICU nurse speak like this. Income brackets are one of the most significant determinants of health - low income families often can't afford the most nutritious food, some have to work multiple jobs (which takes a toll on your health), are more likely to live closer to factories and other sources of pollution, and are more likely to receive subpar medical care (especially in countries where you have to pay for your care). Saying that this and all resulting illness should be blamed on the person and force them to pay is horrendous

Note to the Editors: I really like how the orange line moves on the bottom of the screen to show how long each of his takes are. It was very satisfying!!

In the UK, they aren't struggling to find funding, they are *being underfunded*. A slight difference.

The first person basically stated that we should apply a “you didn’t say no so that means yes” rule onto organ donation and all that tells me is that they don’t properly understand the concept of consent or how important it is in the medical field.

I have to say I've been watching a lot of your videos lately and your patients are INCREDIBLY lucky to have such an intelligent, tactful, and empathetic doctor. You are a shining example of what is RIGHT in the medical system ❤️

Hearing how you responded to the comment about having to pay more if you live an unhealthy life style made me happy. Mentally healthy people dont understand the range of challenges that less mentally healthy people go through. So thank you for that.

The problem with our NHS are politically caused by a government that is ideologically opposed to the idea of a socialised healthcare. They started charging nurses for uni courses - now we have nurse shortages. We have a shortage of doctors so they reduce the number of training places for doctors. For 13 years they have given NHS workers below inflation pay awards. They are systematically undermining the NHS to create a demand for private healthcare.

Mike, your channel is so insightful. Just want you to know we appreciate you and all the effort you put into this channel. The world needs more of this🔥

I totally read that one “hot take” completely differently than you did. The one that you interpreted as free healthcare, I interpreted as the commenter saying medical school should be free. That’s how it reads to me and, with the current doctor shortage/crisis my province is currently going through (Ontario, Canada), I can understand the thought behind that, that maybe free medical school would produce more doctors, thus no more doctor shortages.

Ugh he is so right about not laying around too much when you're injured. I went that route with a chronic leg injury and it just stayed bad or got worse for YEARS. And it was finally moving again, slowly, but pushing through some pain that finally got myself to heal.

About the sleep thing: I can be sleepy as Hell all day but after 9 pm my body wakes up as if I got enough sleep. This happens so often, and no matter how many times I try to “fix” my insomnia, it always circles back.

doctor mike is so compassionate, i love the way he thinks and even though i don’t have much medical knowledge at all i agree with everything he said in this vid !!

7:05 this take reeks of "just dont be unhealthy lol, just choose to not do the bad thing"

it's kinda scary when an oncology nurse thinks cancer is 1 illness that could ever have 1 cure.

My husband was once misdiagnosed with Lyme. They told him to stay off his feet for like a week. Turns out it was his first Rheumatoid Arthritis flare, and the worst thing you can do for that is stop moving your joints for a whole week... that was a rough recovery.

I'm really glad Dr Mike was honest with everyone about how Healthcare is free nowhere in the world and never will be. People work in field that need to be paid. The resources need to be paid for. The cost is paid by someone. I'd be much more comfortable knowing I'm not burdening anyone else with my Healthcare costs, especially if my own choices lead to them.

About the "who pays" take: in France, every worker contributes proportionally to his means and almost EVERY medical thing is 100% refund, whatever your situation, and whether it's surgery, physiotherapy, etc. etc. (while keeping excellence in hopistal care). And we are actually horrified when we hear about how it works in the US.

Hot take: Relatively young and otherwise healthy patients often aren't given the due consideration when they first report encountering health issues; many doctors and nurses automatically assume complaints about not feeling well to be borne out of stress, panic attacks, bad habits and so on. This is especially true when it's something intermittent and that has cleared up / is not happening when you get to the doctor's office. Personal experience: had paroxysmal Afib for years and it was always blamed on stress or "panic attacks". It took an hours-long episode and it being caught on EKG at the ER to finally convince everyone I was not making it up - and even in the ER, the nurses kinda went "tut-tut" at me when I described my symptoms - until the EKG machine spat the printout.

About how most of the time patients are correct about what illness they have, My grandpa thought he just had a sore throat but it turned out to be cancer.

you're so well spoken, its inspiring

The biggest, most obvious flaw in the "charge people more for bad health behaviors" idea is it would cause an enormous increase in patients lying to their doctors about their lifestyle and behaviors, leading to much worse health outcomes for a lot of people.

As someone with Lyme disease that's struggled for about 13 years despite antibiotics (oral and IV), thank you for talking about this issue repeatedly. If a doctor had believed me immediately instead of given me the "it's all in your head, Lyme disease isn't in this area" take, my life would be DRASTICALLY different now. Awareness, prevention, early detection, and early treatment is absolutely KEY 💚

I love this channel. I always and will still hold my reservations and do my own research on some things, but I appreciate informed and professional insights

I LOVE Matthew Walkers book. Granted I don't consistently keep good sleep hygiene habits, but when I'm having difficulty I always come back to what I learned in his book, and it always helps significantly. Just need to figure out how to stick with the good habits and break the bad habits long term...

So glad Lyme Diseas was mentioned! My brother nearly died (not typical, I know) from a bad case. 2 weeks after being bitten, he went into heart failure. Our tiny little local E.R. doc kept on top of him like a hawk, and saved his life twice in 24 hours. My brother was then transferred to a bigger hospital and was about 4 hours away from being given a pacemaker at age 39, when his Lyme test result came in, positive off the charts. He never had a visible bullseye rash. Several weeks of IV antibiotics later, and his heart has been healthy as a horse ever since. Scared the living bejeesus out of me, though.

I feel like doctors should never dismiss a possible diagnosis based on age of the patient. Or dismissing a diagnosis just because its rare. My late husband was diagnosed with Charcot foot later we moved and had to change doctors. His new podiatrist said “you don’t have Charcot foot, its too rare”

My daughter was misdiagnosed with lyme diseased by two doctors. She had a bite, it wasnt a bullseye. Her dad and dog both had it. She didnt get other symptoms A week later, it looked like someone took a red marker and drew circles on her. She saw a different doctor. Right away he treated her for lyme and she tested positive. Not everything fits text book definition....

3:00 Exactly. I’ve experienced trochanteric bursitis for over a decade now, always when I start to become more active regardless of my weight. However, it started occurring more frequently when I’d try to become more active after I had gained a significant amount of weight, because the pressure from all of the extra weight was creating more instances of that nerve getting pinched. Even losing 50 pounds while remaining active by swimming and stretching has reduced the pain tremendously.

I feel like when Mike tried to explain the Cancer comment he really focused on not failing with his emotions for his Mother (God bless her soul) and keep it professional

Problems with NHS funding are often related to the government underfunding it, while pumping money into private health care facilities (often benefiting from it). Not to mention bureaucracy that cranks up costs. If a cost of pack of painkillers is 10 x of what the same medication costs in a supermarket, something is wrong there. But while as a society we don't pay specific bills for our treatement, it is still very much a business for people in charge.

OMG the Lyme Disease one: YES! I was diagnosed a few years ago, and my bullseye rash was on my very lower back so no one noticed it until the ER doctors went in for a spinal tap. Thankfully, the doctors in my case had Lyme disease on their radar but they were testing me for meningitis as a potential diagnosis or a complication from possible Lyme Disease.

Regarding the guy who sprained his shoulder: I had a similar injury when I did Muay Thai. Training against a heavy bag, and it swung back at me more than I expected, which seriously sprained my shoulder. The doctor who checked me out gave me a sling, but explained that it wasn't to be used 100% of the time, and that I should only actually use it, basically, as a reminder that I was injured and shouldn't be overworking the joint by training hard or lifting heavy. Very helpful and informative doctor. Loved him.

Fun fact from a former insurance agent: smokers DO have to pay higher insurance premiums.

this might be a tiny thing but i really appreciate the moving line at the bottom of the video to show how long your response is going to take and how far through it you are currently. I am autistic and i find it difficult to follow and process information. knowing how long/short the burst of information is really helps me gauge my interaction and energy expenditure. small thing, but thank you!

That circadian rhythm comment spoke to my soul as a night owl

My mom has been victim of the weight bias issue. Every doctor she has tried to visit called her an outright liar when she told them of extreme or specific diets she's tried and they haven't helped her lose a single pound, even when on these diets for almost a year. They have all said, with minor verbiage changes: "You're clearly lying about your diet".

I recently was assigned to a different doctor, because mine retired. This doctor says he treat the whole person, physically AND mentally. I like him much better than my previous doctor. He's helping me handle my Type 2 diabetes, and wants me to get off most of my meds. (8) by eating better and just plain living better. I hope to be his patient for a long time.

Doesn’t it just make you smile that Doctor Mike cares *so much,* you can see it is truly his passion and he wants to educate people and that is so amazing

For the first prompt, it is so in Singapore for a few organs. You can choose to opt-out and you can also choose to opt-in to donate even more or all of your organs (which I have).

I know this videos a bit old now but the first hot take about the organ donations, that’s already a thing in the UK but the horrible thing is that it was so quietly released that any time I tell people that they’re already signed up for organ donation they don’t believe me until they go on the website and it gives them the option to opt out, freaked me out when I first learned it, I have nothing against it but signing me up against my will and without telling me is pretty freaky

Hot Take: Medical degrees should be required to work in the health insurance industry. Id rather the people deciding if my surgery is nessisary or if the blood work i recieved was needed also have a basic understanding of how the human body works so they can understand why its needed.

The weight one! The assumption that everything is because of my weight is constant and overwhelming. Never saw this when I was thin. Also, having a chronic, debilitating illness that prevents exercise, and food allergies/sensitivities that prevent certain diets is ignored and doctors just say "You just need to exercise more", or "you're afraid of exercise", or "go on a diet and just eat fruit/veg instead of ...[insert any other food item here]", when my illnesses make this blatantly impossible and/or dangerous. It's super frustrating. No I'm not afraid of exercise. No I don't want to be overweight. But that doesn't mean that every single thing that is ever wrong with me or that I go to a doctor for can be blamed on my weight.

Thank you for this video❤ thank you for debunking some of the misinformation out there, as well as some of the stigma surrounding addiction and drug use So many people depend on Opioid medication . Chronic pain patients acute pain patients…. The terminally ill. … the mentally ill…. And even those who are addicted. They need those medication‘s and stigmatizing them does absolutely nothing to help them.

Speaking of Lyme disease, my father had join pains for years, before being tested with a more sensitive (more modern?) test that discovered it. Once it was treated, all the symptoms soon faded.

My kids’ pediatrician didn’t get the CME memo.. she missed my son’s SEVERE autism several times, despite me, non-doctor, bringing it up. “Boys will be boys, boys develop differently…” was all she said. Apparently she got her medical degree from my grandma.

As a person with a disability, I disagree with what was said here about group homes, and what is now called long-term care. Unfortunately, sometimes people do get miss treated in these environments but that is not always the case. I live in a group home right now and it’s not perfect but my needs do get met and for the most part, the people who work here are extremely caring individuals and I have rapport and friendship with them 😊 I have a physical disability and my parents wouldn’t have been able to take care of my needs safely for much longer. It was my choice to move out and I don’t regret that decision. It was the best option for me.

Regarding the first tweet, my country actually does this. Few weeks ago I got letters and forms regarding me becoming an organ donor, they explained how it works and gave me two forms: one form that you can sign to opt out of the donation of your organ after you died, and another form where I can register to be an donor of less vital organs like kidneys while im alive

I experienced that 5th percentile doctor being the difference that enabled me to recover. In 2016 I found myself experiencing continuing symptoms following a c diff infection which I was at this point definitely now negative for. However the cramps and spasms continued. I saw one GI who performed an emergency scope and told me she couldn't find anything wrong with me before prescribing me Bentyl saying it was the only thing she could give me. The Bentyl made me feel worse, constantly crampy instead of just a couple times a week. A second GI thought my treatment so far had been wild. He treated me for SIBO with Xifaxin, then started me on desipramine with Levsin as needed and I proceeded to make a full recovery.

I think that Dr. Mike should make a mental health episode, he seems so sensitive and aware about the topics :)

This is completely out of the topic of the video but, I wanted to say that you inspired me to learn about medicine, especially about family medicine. I'm 15, and your videos inspired me so much, I can't stop watching your videos. Thank you, Dr. Mike ♡

crazy thing is the orgon donnor situation is actually like that by default here in portugal, you are by default an organ donnor, and if you dont want to be you have to sign a paper explicicitely saying it. Its pretty great actually because it dramatically increases organs available which means smaller organ transplant waits and lists which means less deaths, less suffering and less money spent on keeping someone alive until a donnor shows up!

Honestly thought it was because I was a teen that I always sleep from 3am to 10am but no, I'm now in my mid-20s and I just sleep most naturally from 12-3am to 9-10am. Absolutely brutal when it comes to work, especially since I'm zombified if I get

"you will ultimetely create a system that will target and really hurt those who are already hurting" - Such a good statement! It sounds so easy to let a smoker or obease person pay more, but the other side of the coin could have a tremendous negative effect on everyone.

That red line like the shorts line is genius design

As someone whos had canecr twice - I know in my core that whoever finds "the cure for cancer" will be a wealthy wealthy person/company. You'll never run out of cancer patients, but you will sell cures more than long term management.

When I was young I got really sick. Could not keep anything down. After almost a week of this my mother, who was a nurse, took me to the ER. They said it was the flu, gave me fluids via IV, and sent me home a few hours later. Two days later I was in the same state. My mother took me to the family doctor who took one look at me and said I had Lyme. No targets on me or any other outward signs so my mother was not sure that was the correct diagnosis. He put me on med and a few days later I was feeling much better. Close to 30 years later and I still see that same doctor. He is now over an hour drive but I told him I will continue to have him as my PC doctor until he retires.

The sad thing… is that doctors are required to take continuing education… but some of them DO still operate in the past, refuse to use what they learn, and gaslight patients until they’re so broken they stop seeking help and are resolved to just deal with discomfort and pain daily for the rest of their life

Aprendo tanto con los videos de Doctor Mike.

The dog pic at the end was phenomenal 😂

For me, being placed in a group home has not only been the best thing to have ever happen to me, but has been a literal life saver.

Hot Take: dental and eye should be covered by insurance! Who decided that it shouldnt?!?

I am a night owl and work better after a late morning. I am glad this has been acknowledged!

6:17 As a former DSP, I completely agree. I would never do that to someone I love. I watched a disabled, nonverbal older man get *SCREAMED* at and threatened to not get his cannula back just because the (primary) caretaker in the room got upset and "snapped."

As someone who is currently doing CME’s for my licensure, I can confirm that continued education courses are nothing compared to actual lecture or study.

Thank you, Dr.Mike, for your compassion and understanding towards those struggling with addiction. As someone with friends I love dearly who struggle with it, hearing a doctor as influential as you show them love and help spread awareness about the root causes of addiction truly means a lot. This is how understanding and awareness is spread.

Thank you for mentioning health anxiety, which is Dismissed by many doctors. I have an anxiety and panic disorder since childhood, and have been treated as an insane person but I have a legitimate Health problem. My peripheral artery disease was not diagnosed because of this but thankfully, a routine check by a visiting nurse help me get my health under control. Health anxiety can put your life in danger without a caring doctor doesn’t make you feel bad for asking questions

6:00 sprained ankle about a month and a half before snowboarding season. I was working it out every chance I got even if walking on it still hurt. Workouts actually were not painful but walking was bad and I had an amazing season this year bc of the work I put in to recover instead of wallowing in Edit: spelling errors

This man is super smart and has high common sense. I wish all doctors were like that.

I have a friend who was scheduled to have left and right hip replacement, and eventually bith knees. But her doctors wanted her to loose 100lbs before they would do it. She weighed around 300 -320lbs, but she was mad, because she thought they were fat shaming her. She had 2 second opinions 2 DIFFERENT doctors confirmed the first doctors assessment, but still she thinks it's fat shaming, not the fact that replacements are never going to be as strong as what she was born with, and that weight she's carried for YEARS is what destroyed her hips and knees in the first place!!!

I JUST realized the stethoscope on your shirt is curled into the letters DM like Doctor Mike. I love it

I mean, I have heard stories about bad experiences in nursing homes. But I think there can be a different problem depending on who is put in the nursing home. I don't want to go into too many details because I don't want to trauma dump. But I can still remember her final words to me, clear as day. "You are the only one who cares." When she said that, she was referring to family as my mom felt everyone else abandoned her. The nursing staff were wonderful people from what I remember, so there wasn't any abuse. But still thinking about those last words...😢

I never understood that cancer take. It's not like it'll ever go away. If you cured every single cancer patient in the world, new cancer patients would still pop up after a while so they would continue to need treatment
