- I’m very lucky to live a life where I get paid to do what I love, helping patients in my practice and around the world here on UA-cam. As wonderful as that is, unfortunately, there are some costs. Today I wanted to open up and share with you some of the personal struggles I’ve had being a doctor in media, whether it be receiving disrespectful comments and questions from strangers to literally getting my identity stolen by hackers. Thanks to those of you who have always joined me in our mission to fight medical misinformation, and hopefully, you’ll continue standing by my side as we fight cyber bullying and judging medical professionals based on their looks.

"Why did you become a doctor when you could've been a model?"
Doctor Mike: Joke's on you, I am both
Ahahahhasa yes is why we love him
Lmao
Oh I'm the 1400th like noice
@Picolas Cage Not tall enough? He's 6'3" and he's in incredibly great shape
@Picolas Cage there are many kinds of models. He could be a fitness model. Also there are more brands that cater to different lifestyles now. Being skinny is definitely still the case for runway models though...
As a patient (and nurse), I don’t care how you look, I care about your bedside manner, knowledge, and honesty. When a doctor tells me that something is out of their scope of practice and sends me to someone else, I appreciate that honesty. I’m surprised people are so shallow about your looks.
why people acting like he's the most handsome dude in the world 😂 im confused
@@itsluckzy2023 because he is
I mean ofcourse not the most beautiful person in the world cuz that person doesn't exist but he is handsome
I wish doctors would listen. I miss having one that listens to me and takes me seriously. Especially since I got hit by a car and got crappy care at my local hospital the day I was hit.
I had a kinda scary-looking woman who was a WONDERFUL GP and i have one current specialist who is petite and beautiful and i love her too! "Looks" count for precisely zero in what makes a good doctor.
Well said!
My own doctor is an average-good looking man, but young enough to be my son. I only notice his looks so I can say hello to him if I see him outside the office.
But it's his knowledge, his willingness to listen to his patients, including his senior ones (like me), and his willingness to research anything he's not sure of, or to ask another doctor if that's what needs to be done.
It’s actually really beneficial for his platform that he’s as attractive as he is. He catches attention and then people actually learn something. I’m glad that he’s been able to stay as humble and real as he has with all the attention. That can’t have been easy.
Why did this sound so creepy
That's an excellent point. The reality is, if he wasn't attractive, people wouldn't pay any attention to him. That's just the way it is.
For me, he may be attractive, but all these years, I never bothered watching. Until recently, when I realized how nerdy, cute, wholesome and dorky he is. THAT is why I'm here now. His attractiveness is just a fun bonus. lol And how much he loves Bear like a child. That's just as huge for me.
I disagree...it's his personality that caught my attention and respect. If you can only pay attention to "pretty" people you have a problem!
@@nicholrw8260 That’s fair, and I’m definitely not a pay attention to pretty person. It was his personality and information for me too. I was saying that it’s beneficial for those who are drawn by the attractive factor to still get valuable information.
The most offensive thing is being handed an apple as a doctor
*_The happiest thing is being handed a doughnut as a cop._*
Neither of you should quit your day jobs in pursuit of a career in comedy. Just sayin.

"Why did you become a doctor when you could have been a model?"
But Doctor Mike is a model......a role model.
Yasss!
Your Too Intelligent my Guy
THIS!
this made me go awww
I would think a model job is lower level than a doctor. I mean a doctor save lives, what does a model do?
9:11
I felt this on a personal level lol.
I've legitimately been told that I "look like a hobo" or "look homeless" from the way I dress and look and once I was at a meeting for a prestigious club I am literally the president of, and someone tried to kick me out of the discussion only for the supervisor to remind them that I am in fact the president. They didn't talk for the rest of the meeting. Good times.
I would pay to see the look on his face 🤣 Hate when people judge by look, tells a lot about our "civilization"
I would go into debt to see that interaction my g
My friend literally looks like a hobo lol. I say to him, people will be scared of you. He answers, good, then no one will mess with me 😁
@@rosiered3403 perfect response but what the heck is wrong with you??
Though maybe it's just messing with eachother nvm
I am a female physician, and I am sorry I have not discovered your channel until now! I had to laugh at your last discussion about being “too beautiful“ to practice medicine. I found that as soon as I started getting my gray hair, I was basically finding that patients were more easily taking my recommendations, I would hear a lot more “whatever you think is best doc“ , “ I trust you doc”. Ageism at its best!😄 now that I am all gray, I have colored my hair magenta!😆
you go girl!
That checks out lol...even for male doctors. I had a relatively old doctor (Dr. Weisser) who retired, then I switched to a younger one, around 35 years of age. I just don't trust him as much as I did the other guy. But then again, that may be psychological since I had my previoous doctor for the past 15 years.
Pop off girl boss
Do you consider some of that comes with the appearance of gray hair as the impression that you are now more experienced in the field?
There is something to be said for experience. No offense, but if I am in a hospital, or a walk in clinic, and was asked if I wanted to be seen by the 28 yr old only out of med school now for a year, or a 48 yr old that theres a 30 minute wait for, depending on the level of pain, I might patiently wait for the person that I perceive as the more experienced in their field.
Now is that fair? Maybe not fully, but experience cant be discarded either.
There is absolutely fields where ageism is a poor thing to decide a decision on, but medical input, maybe not.
While this is an excellent point, there very much is another end of that spectrum too. While all doctors are required to do continuing medical education, it's more likely that the younger doctors would have the most up to date medical knowledge. For example, a surgeon who recently completed their residency might know less invasive techniques that have been recently developed, which could lower your pain, recovery time, or even likelihood of fatality. An older surgeon on the other hand might not be capable of performing such a procedure since it's harder to keep up with new techniques when you're also busy practicing medicine and engaging in outside life.
While I understand we all have our own biases, the best approach in my opinion would be to evaluate each doctor individually on how well they are treating you/ taking your concerns seriously. My best experiences are usually those where the first half hour is spent just discussing everything before beginning any sort of examination, and my outcomes from doctors where this has been the case have been phenomenal. @@Canadagraphs
I thought the most offensive question would be, "So, doc, how many patients have you killed?"
That's my favorite question
Yeah true
Seems more personal than offensive.
That is usually the answer to the question for jobs with those types of dynamics, many other jobs too
I've heard doctors, particularly gynecologists, hate it when people ask if they get turned on while examining an attractive woman. I assumed that would be the most offensive.
“Are you a *real* doctor?”
nah he just delivered babies cause he was bored
Lmao
You don’t?
Don't mailmen deliver babies too?
Fr he does it every Friday.
@@kolelokaram8541 Don't forget storks... Mailmen might be involved in procreation more often than in the delivery of babies, I guess
As a women so many times I’ve tried to get a job as a painter or anything that is male dominated and they just look me up and down and say “you do realize this is hard work….” I’ve had painting companies tell me they loved that I had experience but decided to go with men. Idk why people have to be so judgmental all the time! I love your videos. I love smart people! We need more people like that in the world.
Crazy how things are different depending on what country you are in. In mine they prefer painters who are women over men
What you just described the up and down look thing, is actually called elevator eyes, and can be considered sexual harassment. So let people know what you know, what you are ready, able and willing to do, and let the best company and people win!
I did construction for years when I was in my 20’s. I hung drywall. I was surprised that I never had to deal with ignorance. It was a little hard to work when men from other crews would stare at me though. Other than that, I enjoyed it. I had a boss tell me that I was one of his best workers. I think that’s because women are probably more about perfectionism. I dont know. I was quick & good at my job. It felt good to get acknowledged without anyone bringing up my looks. 😊
When I was doing manual labor jobs to save money for college, I often had people look me up and down and say “can you even lift 50 pounds?”. It was always a mix of fun proving them wrong, and irritating that they would make such an assumption. I may have been a slender young woman, but I had been weight lifting since I was 15.
I can't relate to being told I'm too beautiful for a job.
yeah maybe the opposite
I can't either but I don't base my opinion about someone's professionalism on their looks.
Yeah, same here.
Same. I think that only applies on Dr Mike and three others lol
People might as well say I'm too ugly to even become anything..
who's sending him death threats??? he's literally the sweetest person ever
Yeah its like telling a pug to die
Probably because he criticized the president, conservatives can't take any sort of criticism
Probably the people that don't wear masks or social distance and are anti Vaxers
Obviously the anti-vax and essential oils community
Fact about the Internet:
EVERY person with a big audience who makes statements about controversial topics receives death threats.
I know it's fucked up but that's how it is unfortunately
Can you imagine if Dr Mike was your actual doctor?? You have the flu and you stroll in all congested with a fever and Dr Mike walks in? I would be dead. LOL.
That'd be a real black mark on his record. "Entered treatment room, patient expired."
Why do you need to go to the hospital for the flu? I never did. Especially after elementary school
And I rarely got it in the first place. If I did I didn't mind much
This man's enthusiasm and energy for what he does...no wonder why he's as popular as he is. Doctor, stay the course cause it's working for you on so many levels.
Imagine stooping low enough to threaten a doctor.
I hope those things never affect you. You have the best job in the world.
There are people out there who threaten paramedics. Or people who threaten teachers. Or people who threaten a bus driver. There are some REAL weird people out there ...
Its called being karens and daves
We need Mike to drop that skincare routine!
Such people would be driven by desperation, panic or outrage caused by the crisis they are trying to deal with.
@@terramerc733 i heard of a tweet from a woman named Karen who was complaining that video games shouldn't be blamed for kids being violent, bad parenting and the school environment should; i thought that was a classic case of the "Karen" meme being turned on its' head
Best quote ever: “Prove people wrong with your results.”
Not really
i agree
Honestly, yeah
Well said ❄
That's like few centuries old quote 😂😂😂
My grandma said that she felt compelled to become a psychiatrist after her teacher in med school failed her saying "that was ok but you're not pretty enough to pass so you need to be double as smart". She felt insulted for herself, for her fellow students, and decided that she is gonna ace everything so that none can question her abilities. Savage woman.
I didn't have that much strength as her but I still turned it out somehow :) Now I am a SysAdmin in IT so a male field as well. Previously I was IT Helpdesk Lead and had 8 guys, most of them younger, answer to me. At first people would come into the room and try to talk to the oldest guy in the room, or at least A GUY, and they would always direct those people to me or ask me what to do. Long story short when I was leaving that company I was nicknamed "IT Queen", almost everyone knew me but not our manager, and dozens of people predicted dark times.. xD
When my mother was in high school she had a friend in her grade who's school counselor told her she couldn't be a nurse bccause "people like you(Hispanic) can't handle it" (This was 1950). So the young woman went to nursing school anyway, passed of course, took her diploma and went back to the school in full white uniform, and waved the document in front of the counselor, saying "See! See?"
I wish there were more doctors like you. I always feel judged when I go, but you seem just so friendly and approachable.
You really hit the principal with the “I am actually the president of the company” 💀💀💀
I was thinking the exact same thing😂
Fr 😂
😂😂😂😂
While looking like a gangster too! XD
"Are you really in charge here?" 😂😂
new grad nurse here. i constantly get “are you old enough to work here” and “you look like my granddaughter” 🙂😂
@NoiseCap 💀
Congratulations, Respect +
When you get older anyone under 23 look like children
Are you old enough to type a youtube comment? Did you get your parents' approval?
how is it to be a nurse? i heard it's really difficult
Dr. Mike, I've been on this planet for 65 years, and I am so thankful that we have doctors like you! I am seeing more and more young doctors, particularly D.O.s, practicing family medicine with empathy, truthfulness and kindness.
The WORLD NEEDS doctors like you! Keep up the good work! Your parents must be very proud of you!
I am with you. I was just talking about this very topic. I was saying how much so like the young doctors. They talk with you much more freely. It has finally go into med schools that patients are whole people. It shows.
"Just prove people wrong with your results". That's my best advice too. When people find out what you're capable of, they'll respect you.
"Why did you become a doctor when you could have been a model?"
If nothing else, the job security's better. A doctor who is 45 years old can still be a doctor.
Maybe someone wanted to do the other thing.
I learned that after asking my doctor why he wanted to be a pediatrician (he got a full ride to medical school and could have done anything). He just wanted to be a pediatrician.
@@hollyshane2604, there are plenty of personal reasons to become a doctor, and I don't intend to belittle any of them. I just thought it was worth pointing out that there are practical reasons to choose doctoring over modeling that apply across the board.
Why not both, a model doctor.
He can take your breath away then give you CPR XD
A model’s career is much shorter. I would say after late 30’s is much harder for a man to get a job as a model, at least in the catwalk, and in the 40’s it becomes harder to get a job anywhere.
@@camillatruquesdebeleza7086 You could take over the job from your employers when you get to that age. There are also plenty of commercials featuring middle-aged people. But yeah, that your opportunities shrink is basically a given. I think with the elder-wave hitting 1st world countries today, we'll see more and more opportunities arise from that though, if you can stay ahead of competition in your career.
Having patients to feel comfortable with you is honestly a really good doctor skill.
heenim ya and my doctor isn’t very good at it.
True. Some doctors never achieve this.
A good life skill, period.
Ain't no scary doctors here
Yeah my doctor sucks at that too. He gives me heebie jeebies. Like when he smiles he’s just completely hollow on the inside.
One of the most amazing thing I like about Mike is the fact he is always worried about how to be good referent not only for the "influential" status he has, but he still worried we got the right information and properly advised us also, you are one on your kind Mike! keep that work!
Thank you for being here, and being so positive, honest and available to us with your well studied and applied wisdom and knowledge… I learn so much and trust you, mostly because you communicate so well. I feel safe learning and I’ve recommended your channel to both of my sons who are 18 and 20. They are now learning too.
*Is he a real doctor?*
Me : No, he's a manager of a company who wears scrubs everyday ....

Scrubs model
He should tell people he was on tv. True Life: I'm addicted to cosplaying as a doctor on the internet

Sooo...a doctor?
“Just prove people wrong with your results.” YES, THIS!!
That made my entire life beam with positivity :')

I’m sorry but this is The first time I’m seeing this UA-cam channel
Why do you need to prove anything to people?
Subimonovan because when someone is wrong it is plight to correct them
the amount of responsibility you are able to bear is truly remarkable! such a good role model for all of us
You're a great person my guy. Your comfortability and your openness is so dope and you make patients feels comfortable to tell you anything

Dr. Mike, thank you for these videos. They are invaluable and awesome. You bring it in such a personal and person-able way that makes so many people much more comfortable with bringing things up to their own doctors.
Please also understand, there is so much bad and potentially dangerous advice in social media, it's understandable when people question.
I'd rather someone question advice than to blindly take it and possibly do harm to themselves or others.
Also, as much as I advocate for medical care, doctors and nurses there's a real problem when it comes to access, affordability and the enormous stress medical bills and possible medical bankruptcy can have on many people in this country.
I, myself am one of those who is extremely stressed over the possibility that once I go see a doctor, I sometimes feel as if I'm being "upsold."
I go in for one thing and the next thing I know I'm being barraged by tests and more tests and possible medication, possible referrals to specialists...etc. It adds up, quickly and to be completely honest, I simply can't afford that.
Sure, sure...I've actually heard doctors say: "But your health is something you can't put a price tag on" - Um, yeah, actually you can...when it means the difference between being able to put food on your own table or even pay your own rent. Yeah, that's a price tag so many can't afford right now.
I love your description of family medicine. I am a registered nurse with ICU background and I do case management amd clinical navigation now for the uninsured and underinsured and link them to community health resources. You guys are the unsung heros of medicine. You literally see it all and manage care and send to appropriate specialty and then put it all together after you get 5 different reports from specialists. Plus the amount of teaching you do on top of it all! literally paused this video after you talked about family medicine to comment this.
i'm short, a female, brown, thin, look younger than my age, and an attorney. i always get confused for an interpreter, a paralegal or just a kid walking around lost in the courthouse. but i'm an attorney, and it's nice to see their faces change when they realize they've made a a wrong assumption about me....
huh, I imagine it can be beneficial to have your surroundings already in the mindstate of "oh, I was wrong, I could be wrong about things" when you proceed to do attorney things.
But what’s wrong with being an interpreter 🥺 I’m one
@@naya3253 absolutely nothing.... But because i am not an old white man noone expects me to be the lawyer. And because I'm latina they automatically assume im there to translate.
"Why be a doctor when you couldve been a model?"
I hate it when people put you in a box based on what they see on the outside. You could be either or you could be both and that's a call that only you can make. It's up to you to be who or what you want to be and I hate the fact that many people still don't get that. Ughhhhhhh
And besides such an question says a lot about the idiocy of the person asking it. Has their priority wrong big time. Beauty is vanishing, intelligence - not necessarily.
I totally agree. Stop trying to fix people into boxes based on your assumptions about how people should act.
See i understand the question differently.
I feel like they are trying to say that a model earns more money and they think its an easier job so why wouldn't person want to do that compare to being a doctor, which is hard and high pressure job.
@@ZuziFox Agreed. I think the nature of the question is more in line with the thought that anyone can become a doctor... with a decade of hard work (and I know even that's not really true) but very few people have the natural gifts to become a model, and that seems to take WAY less effort.
why would doctor be ugly ?????
Unfortunately, due to too many celebrity docs who have used the title on public media or have written books giving health advice without medical training, the general public have become uncertain if the advisors are actually medically licensed. It's comforting to be reassured that you are a true medical doctor.
For those of us with medical anxiety, you are such a help. Bless you ❤️
Here are the things I know about Dr. Mike outside of being a doctor:
- He plays basketball
- He has nephews
- He donates to charities

"Cocktail medicine" is the medicine equivalent of "barbeque advice" where people approach lawyers during family barbeques for legal advice 😂 hard to dodge
😅😅😅 I know ryt
Melissa T. Yeah kinda is. Because often they come up with weird situation where even you would have to google or read into some lectures. And it’s annoying because you’re not at work trying to relax and they gotta bring work into the conversations.. I kinda understand that they’re just interested in those topics and it’s cool to have someone with special knowledge in the family. so I‘m never personally angry at them - just at the general situation.
@@CaliMel184 it's even worse when people ask law students for advice. You're not qualified to give legal advice but that doesn't stop pushy people. These days I tell people to send me some background info via email after if they're really serious in engaging me for advice 😂

Right?!?!
I once failed an interview for housekeeping because the hiring Director felt that "it would be a waste for someone with my looks to work as a cleaner". At the time I was really poor and was struggling to eat, but I was happy I could apply for a job that not only was well paying but also I knew I would genuinely like since I absolutely love cleaning. So imagine my shock and disappointment when the only reason given to why I wasn't hired was because she felt that it would be a waste for my looks. Like ma'am, my looks will neither feed me nor keep me happy wth? 😅
What she did makes no sense. Isn't that discrimination??
Her looks get her the job she had and she look at you as some one that would take her job away form her and she needs to me the good looking one to make her feel better i hope you get a job that look at you as a person and not just a good looking person but a good person
The way I see it she was afraid you wouldn't stay long because you can do better when it comes to jobs. I was turned down because I was too qualified and they were right I wouldn't have stayed long. All the best to you!
It’s possible the Director might be a bit of a creep?
Since when is being good looking bad 😭
You seem like such a genuine, humble guy. The media and doctors alike need people like you! Keep doing what you’re doing 🤙🏼
I was discriminated against because of my looks. The advisor to the premed department at San Diego State said that I was too pretty and that I would get married and never amount to anything. Although I’m allergic to formaldehyde and could not become an MD, I do have two PhD‘s and I’m just fine now. He made me take an IQ test to get admitted to the program and when I tested at 165 he had to let me in. Discrimination is such a waste. I love your videos. Thank you so much.

"Success is the best revenge." -- my dad to me when I was 11
It actually is! Because if you were picked on your whole life and you become successful they would see you and possibly stop bullying other people because they don't want it to happen again.
true
Ooooh, I love this.
Wayward Mind
Wow, your dad was smart.
A decade ago I was in a severely abusive relationship in which I was told very frequently that I was incredibly dumb and wouldn't amount to anything. Now I'm a college grad with a Bachelor's degree and ended with a GPA of 3.9. Proved him wrong.
‘Why did you become a doctor when you could’ve been a model?
I really hate those type of questions. I get them sort of the other way around. I’m a bus driver. I’m also fairly smart. People often ask me questions like ‘Why’d you become a bus driver when you could’ve become a lawyer or a doctor?!’ ‘If I was that smart I would’ve never become a bus driver, but I would’ve definitely go on to study something important!’ (first of all I think my job is equally as important... I’m the one driving the nurses and doctors safely to their work) ‘You could make so much more money if you become a doctor or a lawyer!’ etc. You wanna know why I became a bus driver? ‘Cause that’s what I wanted since I was a little girl. I love my job. I don’t wanna be a doctor. I don’t wanna be a lawyer. I wanna drive a 60ft bus around the city, so leave me be. Become a doctor or lawyer yourself if you want, but don’t try to guilt trip me in going back to school, to do something I don’t love.
Thank you for the work you do. I'm really sorry it isn't appreciated as much as it should be.
Exactly, if you're a mechanic, congratulations, someone will get to work the next day thanks to you, if you're a dishwasher, good job, someone will enjoy a meal because of you, if you're a miner, great stuff, many pieces of jewelry and electronics will be made just for your work, every single profession was made to contribute something, but people stopped seeing it...
I take the bus almost every day, so thank you for doing what you love or else I'd have to walk fucking 2 hours there and back to work every day LOL
It’s people like you who help the world go round. I wish people didn’t overlook jobs based on salary....
@@zoeodiachi9282 - I wish these jobs paid higher salaries too. The world needs them to function - you'd think their compensation would reflect that. :/
Thank you for being you. I'm going to say you are very right about people judging others because of their appearance, I'm definitely guilty of this. Mine has been mostly believing attractive men are not good people and this was brought out of my subconscious when I worked for one who ended up changing my life in a very positive way. I would like to bring up when I was in practicum at a retirement home I was warned that I will encounter resistance who will hate me on sight because I remind them of someone they use to know so I should never take anything negative personally because it isn't about you. I realized after working through this how often I had allowed things like this in normal life destroy my joy.
Again thank you for being you, keep up the good work.
Thank you for all your hard work!
I am a PT in Switzerland and your chanel helped me a lot! Of course i send my patients to the doc but you give me ideas my patients should get checked
I had the most devastating thing said to me the other day when I told my grandma I wanted to become a doctor. She told me "you need to go for a more realistic job" and "you aren't capable of it". This hurt so much because EVERYONE in my family has been pushing me to go to school and to get a job and when I FINALLY decided I wanted become a doctor, they shot me down. It really, really hurts to hear that especially from family members. After hearing the last part of this video I realized that I shouldn't give up. I should prove my family wrong!
Go for it... Although Anatomy is a real killer
@@meredits388 To me it’s physiology lol but I get what you mean
Instead of doing it eith the mindset to prove them wrong, do it because it's something you want to do. My family isn't supportive either, but when I focus on what they think even if it's "im not going to be like you" or "im going to prove your wrong" im giving them too much importance and wasting time thinking about them even if it's to show them up. Distancing yourself from downers is honestly the healthiest.
I always felt like I had to give my dream profession a shot or live with never even having tried. So if you really want to - go for it!
is it weird a lot of us have something in common, about being shitted down by our relatives for our passion and dreams?
"Beautiful people are not taken seriously"
Can't relate😂
😂 Same!
Yeah, but in my experience ugly/not skinny people aren't taken seriously either, but are tremendously underestimatet and are just perceived as dumb, for no good reason. (Story of my life)
@@_the_ I really do feel your pain. I am in the same boat, but, am finally to the point where I love it when I get the chance to prove people wrong. The ones who still don't get it, I just feel sorry for them, and walk away.

Btw it's a joke everyone is beautiful in their own way
Don't call urself ugly cause ur ffin amazing
Dr Mike's greatness of personality is evident in the form of so many people's lengthy comments, you are a therapist of millions, Sir!
I enjoy all of your videos, Doctor Mike, but I appreciated this one in a different way. As a practicing attorney with various second careers over time in event organizing, genre journalism, and now graphic novel writing, I appreciate hearing others with dichotomous careers addressing some of the benefits, negatives, and disconnects. It’s a situation that not everyone can identify with so this video spoke to me. Thanks. :)
3:15 Hi doctor mike, could you also put audio to these questions? My friend is blind and loves watching your videos I actually found out about you from her, but things like this can be a bit annoying sometimes- great video as always tho :)
That sounds like a good idea!!
*Commenting to hopefully bring more attention to this comment *
Yeah i agree
I guess replying brings more attention to this comment idc
ty guys :)
I avoided my family care doctor and my annual pap. Till this past December at 24 years old, I finally went to them and found precancerous cells on my pap, and discovered I can't gain weight due to thyroid issues. Dr Mike you're the reason I decided to go to the doctors again. Thank you!
I wish i could afford to go see a doctor
@@huss1054 how tall are u?

You’re a good person Dr Mike what you do is amazing.
Watching your videos are a great and funny and I’m sure help people all around.
Keep up the great work
God Bless you and your family 🙏❤️
As my 7th grade social studies teacher once said, "Don't ever let anyone tell you what you can't do."
"Prove people wrong with your results" I love this.
Aww thanks for your public service Doc. I always joke that I like for all my practitioners to be good looking- except for the OBGYN! 😆 Seriously though, thank you for the research and time you put into educating us. For someone to sift out the nonsense for you is like someone taking out that yucky skin that cream makes in my chai! Eww! I feel hugged and cared for so I am sending you 10 hugs for each trollish message you get. As for death threats ... if I'm first on the scene do you know what I will do? Chest compressions, chest compressions, chest compressions! I gat you boo! 😍😅
I have to do that all the time. My size has led to discriminatory comments. I’m small at 5’3”. When inquiring and then doing male-dominated things, I basically get laughed at. I’ve been told on countless occasions, “Are you sure you can handle it?” No other conversation has taken place, but people assume that because I am small that I can’t do anything requiring physical strength.

NOT RELATED BUT HI THERE, IT’S NOT TOO LATE TO REPENT, BUT SOON IT WILL BE. YOU’RE NOT PROMISED TOMORROW, REPENT AND ACCEPT JESUS AS YOUR LORD AND SAVIOR. JOHN 14:6, JESUS SAID TO HIM, “I AM THE WAY, THE TRUTH AND THE LIFE; NO ONE COMES TO THE FATHER BUT BY ME. ACTS 4:12, AND THERE IS SALVATION IN NO ONE ELSE, FOR THERE IS NO OTHER NAME UNDER HEAVEN GIVEN AMONG MEN BY WHICH WE MUST BE SAVED.
DON’T DIE WITHOUT ACCEPTING JESUS IN YOUR LIFE, IT’S A FEARFUL THING TO ENTER A “CHRIST-LESS” ETERNITY. GOD IS LOVING, MERCIFUL AND FORGIVING. HE'S STILL WAITING FOR YOU TO COME BACK HOME TO HIM!!🥰
THE LORD AND SAVIOR JESUS CHRIST IS COMING BACK, BE PREPARED FOR HIS SECOND COMING, HE WOULD LOVE TO BE WITH YOU IN HEAVEN FOREVER!!🥰
Imagine sending death threats to a doctor who saves lives
I can imagine that, even if I don't agree with it.
Imagine trying to kill a doctor
(It actually happened to a junior doctor)
@D Boogman I don't understand, what is your point?
Are you saying someone should have the Right to send death threats to a doctor, or that we should be able to find the sender of such letters and arrest them?
What is the connection?
Dr Fauci was receiving death threats awhile back 🙄
The Noisy Spectator I think he’s saying that because most of the population viewing is in the US, and the US has freedom of speech, and everyone abuses that freedom, that’s the reason that he’s receiving death threats. I could be wrong though
I love your channel! Hearing you speak about proving those wrong that judge based on looks speaks to me…in college I had to fight to get work study because the job was janitorial and they thought I was too small to pick up the garbage. I took it only to prove them wrong😂
Now as an adult I started out getting my degree as a medical assistant, moved to nursing, then added my final degree in X-ray which Is my ultimate passion..but I love working in urgent care because I can use all these skills. In the past few years I took some time away due to medical issues and having small children…to help with the bills I would take over some of my husbands jobs installing flooring and painting. The amt of people that would not only judge me for being a women, but would also talk down to me as being uneducated was shocking to me.
Good on you for overcoming your bullies in such a positive way.
As a black teen willing to be a future doctor, that part you talked bout proving people wrong actually helped me a lot ...
I hope I become a doctor like you
( :
You got it, girl! Prove everybody wrong!
Boa sorte
oh good luck!! prove haters wrong😁🥰
You can do this! I really wish he had seen this comment.
“Is he a real doctor?”
*no he just wanted to be called dr Mike and have a degree as a doctor*
Underrated comment
I think it’s fair to question this in the world of UA-cam/MLMs/ people pretending to be something they are not!!
You’re so humble ❤️
I would so love to have a primary care doctor like you, you explain things in the best way!
A message for the people who send Dr Mike death threats:
"Stop it, get some help"

Cannot even imagine their reasoning.
@@SunnyGirlFlorida The Party Controversy is well...messy
But I do believe in second chances...let's see how that works out
He just listed off death threats like it was nothing
It's a good thing knowing it's not effecting him that badly
It seemed to me that he was hesitant pointing out the death threats. So I don’t know if it was nothing for him.
And I’m so sorry for him that he gets those threats... I mean, he spent like 10 years studying to be a doctor, to SAVE LIVES. And ironically, people give him death threats for it...
What kind of people are so miserable, so sick to do that? They need help.
It’s because death threats are usually from skinny edgy kids that Mike could just suplex with no problem 😂
@@sandra6790 there are several groups of people who won't listen to medical/scientific/general facts and are offended by them. Those are incapable of having a discussion because they are brainwashed or too proud to admit that they might be wrong, or misguided.... Trump supporters, Creationists, Pro-Lifers, Anti-Vaxxers, Anti-LGBTQ+, religious extremists, should I go on?
The most common one I’ve had is “you’re not going to give me the drugs I want? I’m going to wait for you outside and kill you.” Workplace violence is real for doctors and nurses.
The problem is so many things online are fake, people don't know who to trust as real.
This video is a year old at the time of viewing, but this does paint a lot of insight into how difficult being a Family Medicine doctor is, and how stigmatizing Doctor Mike's presence in social media is to his credibility as a practitioner

Lol, I actually think it’s the other way around. In this society, beautiful people are taken way too seriously - movie stars, models... that’s why they put them on the cover of things, marketing. Unfortunately, it sells. Beautiful things are commodities.
THis is a highly illuminating talk on the up- and downsides of social media. Really deepens my understanding. Stay strong!
As a nurse 45 yrs, the only time patients behaved weird towards me, was in Alcohol and drug even psych not an issue.
now I'm gonna ask models: "Why did you become a model when you could've been a doctor"?
very smart
🤣🤣🤣
Imagine they give a long story explaining it and you wind up knowing the model's entire life, and the story somehow involves war, a moving truck conspiracy, and cats
@@cookiemocher388 i feel a story is hidden behind your comment.
@@cookiemocher388 or they make a youtube video to complain about how marginalized they feel because of it
Everytime I look doctor mike up, the first question that pops up is “Is doctor Mike a real doctor?) lol
*_well well well, we found our culprit_*
When people ask "Are you a real doctor?", they are really asking "Can you please heal me
and not steal me?"
I love love this video! Pretty sad how no matter what happens, people will judge your intelligence by your appearance...like rich kids from high school who didn't have anything better to do lol.
Also, I saw the other video you had about different toxic emotions. Keep up the good work! ✨💕
Very impressive to see someone balance SO much on their plate, and with grace. You don't get enough credit. Hope wearing a mask is helping a bit with the anonymity!

This is ridiculous... Sending death threat on someone who is literally saving lives and being medically informative?? What are you being offended for?
Watch his video on what fat people have said about him and you'll have an idea of what kinda people might do something like that!
@@jhonnysnd_cebu39 that video was factually correct, as well as unbiased. If you don't like hearing painful facts, don't watch a doctor's UA-cam channel.
@@thegentleman4874 I think he was referencing the people mike talked about in the "fat shaming video" that got offended
The Gentleman and the people that said that he was fatphopic
He offends 'people' because he is amazing and they are trash lowlifes with no real accomplishments in their life.
you’re a great doctor and person- you almost make us feel like you’re our honorary doctor 🥰
I think it's amazing how you balance two very big jobs at once that each take so much time and energy! And you're so kind and thoughtful to all!
Dr. Mike: “...digest information from specialists”
Me: laughs in gastroenterology
😂
🤣
Nice one 😂
Did anyone realise he’s been shooting the entire day ? Respect Dr ❤️
i’m writing exams right now and i’m definitely not doing well (both mentally and marks wise) and your videos always make me feel less anxious ❤️
I hope you continue for many years to come in the fields you chose to go into. And you continue to help people. May you get the happiness you soooooo deserve for the goodness you do.
Side note; What was wrong with saying you should be a doctor AND a model! rather than offending you! ;)
My personal ones:
1) “you’re gonna be a great doctor” (been a doc for 3-4 years)
2) “it’s hard to take medical advice from someone who looks like they’re in high school”
3) *attending calls me by my first name in front of a patient after I’ve introduced myself as Dr*
I feel you on the 1st two, especially because I’m a very young looking woman who often heard things like “you’re MARRIED? Aren’t you kind of young?” when I was like 27 yrs old.... but on #3 really, relax dude. We know that doctors are people who have first names, and why would your coworker NOT call you by your name? It feels kind of pompous to me that you would want coworkers to address you as “Dr”. Patients know you’re a doctor if you introduce yourself as one and presumably it’s on your name tag/badge/scrubs.
@@jillronan6786 Sorry, but you are wrong. There is some hierarchy in that type of settings that you need to follow and respect. You will never call your professor by his/hers first name, and this is similar situation. It's unprofessional and just not respectful to act like that in front of patient.
Yes, first names are fine in other settings, but in front of patients it should be Dr., even if they are the CMO.
@@jekanbg All of my professors have allowed being called by their first names. All of my supervisors have wanted to be called by their first names. I would also always call someone by whatever they preferred or introduced themselves as, "hierarchy" or not. It is not unprofessional to do so.
No matter how old my doctors have been, whether they are 26 or 76, I hold them in very high regard (unless their demeanor is horrid), however I always address them as Dr.
I'm very blessed to have a wonderful, triple board certified Dr. I am very lucky. Wonderful bed side manner and respecting patients is key. My physician does not have a big head on his shoulders, he lets his work speak for him, he is very humble and very approachable.
Lol can’t relate to being stereotyped as “too beautiful” to do something 😂😂🙃

Living well is the best revenge! I was a tugboat engineer (I am female) and our cook was a man. We had a lot of fun with that and dealing with people's expectations! They would ask him about mechanical things to which he would reply "ask her!". The look on most people's faces was priceless.
