USMLE STEP 1: ETHICS (PART 1) w/ Questions 

You’re such a life saver Doc Randy. Watched all your videos in like 3 days and it gave me so much confidence to face the Step 1. Thank you so much! May you keep such amazing videos and keep inspiring medicine students all over the world!

Dr. Neil, you don’t know how grateful I am to have found you. You give me confidence to face my usmle tests and I can’t thank you enough. This was one of the videos I was waiting for! I recommend you to all my friends. Waiting for part 2

Dr. Randy, I thank you from the bottom of my heart.

Thought I was confident in ethics until I realized I was getting your example questions wrong. Thank you for keeping us up to date on the ethics scenarios and giving us much more complex examples! The examples on UWorld and NBME are definitely watered down compared to this. Please make more of these! :)

I really love how you simply these concepts. Thank you so much

Nothing but profound appreciation for your time and videos! My STEP-1 Exam is in 10 days. I have to get all these points!

great example to highlight the difference between capacity and competence! they both get intertwined and easily confused! thank you for this, ethics keeps coming over and over again for all steps and they're increasing it in step 1 alongside everything psych related

Amazing! Much needed content.

Dr. Neil, we meet again for USMLE Step 2/COMLEX Level 2

Dr. Neil you are the man!!!

As always, amazing content. Thank you Doc.

cant thank you enough for helping us tackle one of the trickiest area in step 1. i have been scoring low in this area on my qbank but not anymore. i appreciate you Dr Randy.

Thank you Dr. Neil

Thank you so much Doc 💕 You saved my life .

Great 👍🏼 👍🏼 thanks.. waiting for more lectures on Ethics ...

Thank you for this! My exam is a month away and I heard that this stuff is picking up on the exam. Very helpful!

You have done enormous and awesome job in this video.i can challenge anyone that no one can make these topics better than you.excellent job superb.

Thanks Dr Randy it's a terrific video.i'm not too keen on the 5th question, the patient has oral directive.so if I'm not mistaken the oral directive is more valid.because a nurse who was with the patient earlier in the day said the patient didn't want any procedure and prefer to die peacefully. So we don't want any surrogate decision makers.

Amazing!

Outstanding. Thank you so much

Amazing as usual! please make one about medical errors, like physician fatigue/burnout etc..

I love you Dr. Neil. Stay blessed

Great job,you changed all of my answers, i hope to find your biochemistry videos.

thank you doctor !!!

Hey Dr Randy thanks for the videos on Ethics :) waiting for other videos !

Omg thank you so much dr Neil! I repeatedly got this stuff wrong because I never understood it

Thank you!!!

I don't know what Risk management is, but it sounds so fun the idea of calling someone named like that. Always made me laugh

Dr.Randy, it's really Top lecture

Thank you for your awesome videos. Kindly make more videos on ethics and Communication skills because USMLE has changed the content and increased the Communication skills section. THank you

Hello Dr. Neil, a quick question regarding the patients living will, power of attorney, at 15.54. If the patient themselves has stated that they do not wish any further treatments or procedures or life saving measures, shouldn’t that trump everything else? Or is it in this case vague and only has one nurse who said that the patient wanted this? I know from other UW questions if the patient themselves states she wishes no further procedures or life saving measures, in spite of her husband telling the doctor to keep the breathing tube in, the doctor is ethically and legally correct to take it out.

Thank you so much Dr.Randy for your great effort and work ..your videos have helped me alot. I just want to ask you about question( 2 ) 7:23 , wouldn't be more helpful to make sure the patient is actually intending to hurt someone( i.e answer a ) and then after we confirm this we can contact the police/the target person to warn them ?

thank you so much sir ...

Thanks sir!

i am the first. great video. thanks a lot

thank you so much

regarding the brain bleeding coma case: let's say that the patient told the nurse and his twin sister, who was there at the moment, his wish to refuse any additional procedures. Can that be considered an oral advance directive?

Thank you.

Dr. Neil you are amazing!! . You explain it so well .Could you make a video on motivation interviewing.

Thank you..

Thanks in advance 👌 What is different between TB ,STD and HIV?All should report or not?

Your way is not excellent but what comes after! Well done Dr. Randy. It is not only about the information but the techniques you explain that lead me to choose the proper answer, consider some MCQs, and exclude the others. I really hope you cover all parts of the USMLE before I take it with more content and extended videos. My sincere regards from Saudi Arabia.

Thanks :)

Hi, thank you for the ethics questions. I have few ethical scenarios I'm not sure about and need help with. What if you and your physician colleague are performing a procedure on a patient and had discussed the plan before operating, but your colleague changes his mind when you both are at operating table and keeps insisting to go first. What do you do in that situation?

Hi Dr. Neil, thank you so much for your videos - can you please clarify something for me.. I am pretty sure that u world stated graduation from high school = emancipated Can you please let me know which is correct (your video says college = not emancipated)

life saver

hey dr neill love the videos about the last question wouldn't it be a toss up between consent vs assent the parents have a disagreement you still ask the child what they want and then go from there ? would love if you could clarify

sir please upload more videos on ethics

Rx qbank says DPA overrides living will(16:00). Got confused

it is very helpful need more lecutres on ethics coz i'm having so many question worng while solving uworld in ethics portion

sir please explain case series v/s clinical trial accertain bias v/s hawrthon effect

to my knowledge a durable power of attorney can override a living will if the patient becomes incapacitated

Thank you so much but in the first question why the Non maleficence is not the answer by recommending the amputation the physician prevent sepsis and death from happening so he is preventing harm happening !?

Hi, I have a query on being emancipated for minor. If they have graduated from high school then they don't need parents consent, right? I'm confused. Thank u

Thank you sir. Great video pertaining this subject that is new to IMG especially. Waiting for the next video to come out. Also I had a confusion regarding heirarchy of decision making. I read somewhere that health power of attorney can overrule living will if a conflict happens in both of them i.e living will is completely different to what power of attorney is telling. So just wanted to confirm if that hold true in situations?

Thanks Dr this video, looking forward to others...in next videos, Plz try to explain slower than possible, thanks in advance !

Thank you Dr Randy. Can you suggest some books for the Medical ethics for USMLE step 1. Thank you in advance

How is wounds involved different from child/elder abuse? B/c partner abuse requires you not to override confidentiality. Can you please clarify?

Hi Dr Randy , thanks for the great job . Please how do i get all the high yield flashcards in your lessons. Thank you once again.

Hello, Dr.neil Gud video, I really appreciate it, but I have question about no 4, if both parents are disagree with procedure, we can do still the producer for kids, like emergency treatment or transfusion.

Sir please explain medical reconciliation medical transcription

Hey Doctor, in question(15:00),Dr.Daugherty taught that : substituted judgement(KAREN ANN QUINLAN)>next of kin.........in that regard neighbour would be the answer, can you clarify?

Since a high school graduate is considered Legally Emancipated so would not be being in college would cause a minor to be emancipated?
