Mad respect to all of the doctors, nurses, and frontline workers. We appreciate you guys!
I did not just read this as „fortnite workers”😭😭😭
For a sec i thought it said fortnite workers
i thought for a second that said fortnite workers lol
@@cutie7012 lmao me too!!
This is so inspiring !!!
I can’t blame people for not wanting to be doctors with insurance companies calling the shots. Takes away from the mission of being a doctor.

And then if anyone brings up universal healthcare by expanding medicare for all to all ages all you hear people say is "people love their private health insurance"
And it's like... You like getting ripped off? Being told you don't need the care that your doctor literally says you need?
@@jedimaster0667 As a 36 year old disabled woman, my Medicare doesn't cover much; not even vision or dental care
@@ashleysanchez7543 Right and it doesn't cover much because assholes decide that. It's not an absolute that medicare does not cover much. It's that someone decides that. As if paying an insanely high private tax is the answer to medicare not covering enough. They cut medicare in order to say "see it doesn't work" and then tell us to spend so much on private healthcare that could sweep that coverage from under a rug. SOrry got carried away. THank you for sharing.
@@ashleysanchez7543 That's not universal. That's special provisional. That takes the rest of your life being hard, too, to even have that. He's talking about a system where we all pay 20% + to give adequate medical care for EVERYONE in the nation (of USA). The only people who'd complain about it are rich people, poor idiots, and the exceptionally blessed who have little to no health needs besides bare necessities (people who dont get sick/never needed prescriptions/dental work/any sort of substance abuse of any kind/any mental divergence from baseline humans). The idiots don't want to help you cuz they're pricks, and the well-off dont want to lose 1% of their surplus. Greed and apathy. That's what's really killing people.
Now if only healthcare in the US didn't cost an arm and a leg, and sometimes literal an arm and a leg.
Depends on your job. Schools often have pretty good insurance for their employees
@@HouseMDaddict But school also pay their employees little to nothing for what they put up with and do. They also don’t treat them well.
@@brooklynberry148 that again depends on the school and the job in the school. I know teachers making $80K-$100K, with great benefits, insurance, etc, but they also have a union fighting for them and they're tenured. Granted in NY, a lot of people have unions, great benefits, and great pay even starting salary. I know people in plenty of states that get treated horribly, have no unions, and have horrible benefits and pay. A lady I met was make $26K about like 10+ years in a southern state and had horrible health insurance. It was disgusting to hear how sucky some people's jobs are and they're trapped due to having a family settled and not being able to move or the luxury of their district (or state) allowing them to unionize.
@@HouseMDaddict I’m just saying that using the example of schools isn’t the best since so many teacher, janitors, cafeteria workers, etc don’t get paid or treated well.
It’s literally because of government involvement in healthcare. It wasn’t like this 50 years ago. Corporate elites, mandated insurance, and government overregulation make it what it is.
There's also absolutely not enough nurses either. :( And it's not because of a "shortage". Heath care admins at hospitals and other places are creating unsafe conditions and nurse to patient ratios so nurses are unfortunately leaving the profession. Thank you for your work and awareness Dr. Mike.
There’s also not enough EMTs or Paramedics out in the field so the whole system is collapsing.
Sure there are enough nurses.. they lines the halls .desks, break rooms flapping jaw instead of working.
There is no shortage of nurses. There's a shortage of money to pay us. Pretty much every nurse I know that retired after the pandemic, retired because we were constantly short staffed which endangered patient's lives, all to increase profits for the hospital corporations and executives. I'm a nurse, and offered time and time again to come in to work extra, but was turned down because the staffing people said that they were already 'full staffed'. To them, fully staffed is just a number of nurses to the number of patients. They always work hard to lower the severity of the sick patients, so that they can keep the least nurses possible working, to save money. Always remember, healthcare in America is primarily A BUSINESS to make money, not to keep people healthy.
@@d.e.b.b5788 that was basically what I said...in fewer words.
EMTs, paramedics, accountants, teachers, the list goes on
Can we get ppl like doctor Mike as our politicians instead of these other queefs?
As far as I'm concerned most of the ones you mean are male. And thus I'd like you to stop using natural sounds our organs sometimes make, as insults for those obnoxious entitled people. It's honestly insulting towards women and signaling to all people around with vaginas that we're to be ashamed of our bodies. Not cool! Feel free to use terminology that is specific to them, if you must.
Any female associated attributes and terminology is NOT there for you to abuse them as insults to men.
Unfortunately most people that are good leaders often don't have interest in going into a position of power. You don't get into a good position without selling a bit of your soul.
Millennials are comin'. Just taking our time while boomers & gen X clear on out. 😴 Retirement age is higher these days. Means we're healthier. Good thing on one hand...
He should run for President but instead of having a final debate, he should box his opponent
queefs is crazy ngl 💀
Wish this could be said about Canada. Our healthcare may be free, but doctors are an endangered species.
It's the same in Italy, all the doctors work in their private officese and not in the hospitals because they don't get paid enough
@@francescoantonini9213 in America that's most mental health ppl. They have their number own offices because it's better pay. Besides you can pick your clients. In a mental hospital you get what you get for patients (usually severe cases) and then you you get paid less on top of it.
@@francescoantonini9213 We had/have the same problem in Hungary, a lot of doctors moved abroad or started working for private healthcare facilities. Now they do make a decent sum but it's kind of too little too late.
Our healthcare system is horrible, with insane waiting lists for most things, so those who can afford it usually choose to go to private practices. But even some of those aren't much better because there are way too many people and not enough doctors, and a lot of places can only do minor surgeries, so... It's a mess.
they're literally lowering the standards in Halifax for med students where I live cuz they're so desperate 💀
I mean, it's easy to have a better patient/doctor ratio when most people can't even afford to see a doctor.
One of the best solutions would be to make school free so that more people can actually become doctors, not just rich people. We could even PAY people to study to become doctors. Think about all the students who dream of becoming doctors but can't because it's too much of an investment.
I recently moved to raleigh north carolina. I tried to set up appointments with doctors but found most were not taking new patients and if they did i would have to wait months. Duke hematology told me i would wait a year to see one of their doctors even though i had an immediate need. This is a real problem here. Thanks for pushing this issue.
I have relatives that live in North Carolina. They drive 3 hours one way twice a week for their various appointments at Duke. There’s definitely not enough options there.
It isn't as if no one wants to go into healthcare. Plenty of people have the interest and grades to succeed. But most can't afford it and most can't delay their working lives that long.
We need to be putting in the money to train doctors and other essential workers.
Once upon a time, in the US, there was affordable healthcare… because we fully subsidized education.
Not only do we need more doctors we also need more mental health care workers as well.
We first need a real mental health care system. It’s almost nonexistent. We need real facilities to house these workers and patients and legitimate treatment centers not brick and mortar store fronts just wanting a piece of the action financially. So many go without proper treatment.
It takes a special person to be a psychiatrist or a psychologist and it's just unfortunate that not enough people are going into these fields.
For what? To lock more depressed and anxious people in wards and make them more miserable than what they already are?
@@tupakkaonhyvaaNo bro I work in mental health and we have a 91% client satisfaction in our surveys. I can see the improvement in people's symptoms. Unfortunately most states struggle with good comprehensive programs like mine im fortunate to have found one with good values to work for.
@@tupakkaonhyvaayou know what a psychiatrist is??
This is why I love being an EMT and a first responder! Helping others in their worst of times gives me so much purpose in life!
I’m an EMT for the cool stories and dark humor 😅
Kudos to the healthcare workers and all they do for us.
Wow!!! this is amazing
Kudos for poking us with needles, asking stupid questions, telling us our pain is just anxiety or stress and telling us to go buy ibuprofen. 🧑⚕️🤡
I really hope this works. Something needs to be done with the education system as well. It’s so badly screwed up right now…
Medical schools: "There aren't enough doctors"
Also medical schools: "You need a 3.8 GPA, 520+ MCAT, and apart of 10 clubs to get an interview".
😂 true, the process deters people, I’m going through it right now to apply this year.
But there are more med students then residency spots which of even worse bc you have students who have done anything and just can’t get the final piece of training to work as a doctor.
I mean yeah but what's the alternative? pick the people with worse grades and test scores? med schools don't control residency openings
@@RustyPancake53wanna know the funny thing? Med school is a survival thing. They don’t care about grades. Most are pass fail anyways. Just survive and do well on a few tests that you can just know the basic concept for each question. You ain’t gonna learn everything. But it’s not gonna be easy either. Turn it into a life style and eventually you’ll get to where you need to be
They do pick worse GPA/MCAT/Experience. Got tired of applying when my biggest weakness according to them was my 10 years of clinical experience in EM/CRIT. It’s a joke now
Power to all the primary care providers out there. As a physician who decided to specialize, I know your jobs are tough. Appreciate everything you all do.
This is so true. I moved to coastal South Carolina from CT. The difference in healthcare here is frightening. Family doctors, specialists, testing facilities and emergency care is in very short supply. I’ve had two friends die recently from inadequate diagnostics and incompetent and overworked doctors. Had they lived in CT, I’m positive they would both still be alive. It breaks my heart.
Dr Mike is seriously the best human on earth. Someone thank his parents for raising such an outstanding person!!
fr
Yass, someone find them, and send them a huge thank you basket!
Sadly his mom passed from cancer before he became a doctor.
i'm sure his parents would say "no don't thank us. Learn!"
@@sunshine3914 Seriously? :(
As someone in med school, this is a relief knowing that far less people may go unmatched in the coming years.
I am in 6th grade and I am trying my best to get to med school and become a neurosurgeon, Doctor Mike has really inspired me not just from this video, but all of them to achieve this dream. And I will always do the best chest compressions thanks to you!
Aw that photo of him and the kids was so cute!
Ikr
As a medical student who was concerned about this exact issue, im glad there is something being done! Its scary working hard for 4 years and getting buried in student loans only to have to worry about not having a job when we desperately need more physicians.
Chapeau, mate. You're not just talking the talk, you're walking the walk. And making a difference today is extremely valuable more so than ever before.
Thanks.
Doctor Mike is the best. I am always amazed how he find for everything time.I wish we have doctors like Doctor Mike hire in UK.
I hate politicians bragging about money being spent. Talk about what you're doing with that money and what results you're getting.
Awesome job! We need to encourage more to go into the profession by encouraging work-life balance for residents, follows and drs. We also need to make it so drs are in control of their patients and don’t have politicians, the DEA and others making decisions for them.
As an internal medicine doc... The spots isn't the problem. A lot of fm residencies don't fill because primary care docs get treated like trash. I love sitting down and sitting with patients but the shorter visits filled with more complex patients needing more and more beauracracy wore me down. I decided I won't do primary care anymore and just do hospitalists.
You've inspired me to become a D.O. ! I know u get this a lot and you might be talking to a camera and don't realize the affects but you have helped alot of people, Doc.
Out of the waiting room and into CRIPPLING MEDICAL DEBT faster :D
I have massive respect for all people in the medical field, not only was my grandfather a pathologist for several years, but also these people are out there saving countless lives and even risking theirs!
I love how the “Patients” were DOCTOR Strange 😂
Being friends with Schumer isn't something I'd be admitting to
Right?
This is why I still follow Doctor Mike all this time later. He’s using his platform to make our communities better, happier, and healthier.
Here in Canada they got a mafia, the doctors are keeping the residency slots limited and are acting as if we needed more nurses and not doctors.
Meanwhile in my provinces, the wait time for a family doctor is around 5 to 6 years on the wait list and it takes 4 to 8 hours to see an actual doctor if you go to the ER.
We don't have a nurse shortage here, we have a doctor mafia keeping the number of doctor low to make sure the demands stays extremely high so they can negotiate really high salary.
Public healthcare isn't all pink, as long as there is massive amount of public money, there is corruption...
This is great news! I work in hands on social services and a huge barrier is not having enough hours in the day to sit in a waiting room with my most vulnerable clients who absolutely need immediate healthcare.
These people are often forgotten about without an advocate because there aren't enough hands on deck.
We can help so many more people with these valuable medical resources together!
More doctors...I'm all in!
You are such a caring and loving person Dr. Mike...'m proud of you ❤️❤️🫶🫶🫶🫶
Why is it up to the government to provide slots? Hospitals and doctor's offices are private businesses (at least mostly). What the government should be doing is removing unnecessary regulation so healthcare facilities can run more efficiently and cheaply while being able to afford hiring more doctors on their own. The government should only get involved when there is a serious, imminent risk to the public that the individual is not agreeing to.
that's well said my friend!
Laissez faire!
That's insurance companies. Not the government itself.
It started in 1997, A law passed to cap the number of medical school graduates apprenticing as residents in US teaching hospitals. The American Medical Association pushed for it to address a potential “oversupply” of doctors.
@@Bluesayshello1 In other words it was a solution to a problem that didn't exist. The government's specialty.
Also support pharmacist provider status! We can do a lot of disease management after the initial visit to a physician or other provider. The VA already uses a model that incorporates pharmacists into patients’ care teams and drastically reduced wait times.
Lets take a moment to appreciate all health care workers have done tysm guys!
This is good, we also need to get insurance companies to stop practicing medicine without a license and we'll be a lot better off
DR MIKE, this is AMAZING work!! ❤ Great job advocating for this!! 🎉
And that in a country where still too many people seem to think providing public with healthcare is some sort of evil, while .... you know .... having fast un-aliving weapons is too frequently considered "safety". While somehow in other places in the world the respective reverse do function. So much so, that Americans come here suffering massive culture shock, especially learning what actual safety and care feel like.
I'm wishing all lovely and caring people in America as many improvements as possible, with as little errible news as possible! Like this brilliant example!
i’m planning to get my NP so i can work primary care ;)
The US should put some effort and money into motivating its citizens to move around instead of loading them up on sugar and feeding them easily consumable TV shows. Decreasing the amount patients is more effective than increasing the amount of doctors.
Could be so. There is def truth to that. However, changing an entire society takes decades whereas doing something as practical as adding more residency slots can help address TODAY’S issue. Doesn’t mean both can’t be worked on at the same time. But getting something to address the situation sooner rather than later is desperately needed.
@@Preciselylate322 you dont have to rework a whole society, just the low hanging fruit will do. If you can give people who are already close to making better lifestyle choices that final nudge they need then that already clears up waiting time for doctors appointments significantly.
An example; 'punish' smoker employees by not letting them smoke while on the clock, and/or reward non-smokers with a similar amount of time off per day. Another option; Enable people who live relatively close to their job to take a bicycle instead of a car. Not just by adding bicycle infrastructure (although that does help a lot), but also by providing a secure bike parking spot, a changing room and shower at the job location, gifting them a bicycle for as long as they use it X amount if times, at the same time demotivate their car usage by not subsidizing travel costs to employees living within a certain radius of the job. Making unhealthy foods and snacks more expensive at school grounds and making healthy ones cheaper.
This stuff aint new or groundbreaking. Its tried and tested in the Netherlands and other European countries and it works brilliantly, especially when multiple (de)motivating factors are combined in a package. And theres a whole lot more other nudges you can give to people on all levels of society, many of which are relatively cheap to enact.
Okay. Get a job as a lawmaker then radically amd actively publicly campaign to push your laws on regulating added suagrs and caffiene in products. Also get several medical doctorates and degrees so you actually know what youre doing when you make these laws. Go ahead. It's as simple as you say, yes?
As a first year DO student, MY MAN!
Great job, Dr. Mike and all healthcare personnel!!
I would study medicine but i cant afford more student debt.
I hope doctor Mike will stay away from politicians.!
Especially snakes like Schumer...
and vive and versa.
Gotta respect everyone who works on that field
This is great news and much needed. I have experienced the pain of finding a primary doctor and waiting 3-4months to be seen. Lord help you if you need to
Reschedule your appointment. Thanks Dr.Mike and the senator. ❤
Hats off to all Healthcare professionals
Dr. Mike is doing God's work here! There's still hope in this world after all!
The world needs more Doctor Mike’s! ❤ Amazing human being! 😊
That's great, doing good for health of the people on a whole another level.
Also, I'll point out that "I called up my friend _senate majority leader_ " is mad flex
As a 4th year medical student, I applaud this action by our Congress. We do NOT need to open up more medical schools, we need to open more residencies, and that’s exactly what they did. If you do not believe me, look at the number of unmatched medical school graduates each year that are unable to obtain a spot simply because there are more students than residency positions. Finally some movement in the right direction! 🙌🏻👏🏻
Don't forget about 5he 19 pages that limit a Dr from choosing the right treatment for their patient if it's off label serving only big pharma.
Perhaps Schumer should consider doing something about the $250,000+ cost for college/med school.
Aren't democrats trying to include college in our educational budget?
who cares? that debt can be paid off in a single year as an attending doctor
@@twistysnacksmost democrats r fake and crooked and incompetent just look at all the democrat cities full of homeless, addicts, crime rate is high, high taxes and weak policies.look at the country now high inflation, bad economy, border crisis bad foreign policies like i said they r all talk and incompetent.
I got admitted to the hospital a couple weeks ago and my doctor was on his first week of residency and he was awkward but very kind and I appreciated him during my stay.
I graduated with honors in a pre-med emphasis as an undergraduate but couldn't get into med school because of a genetic disorder that affects my muscle tone. I hope you find people who can fill those residency programs given how stringent the medical school admissions standards are in the US, and I hope those standards keep being the best in the world.
Chuck: *long in-depth politician speech*
Mike: Fax
Health care workers are so self sacrifing. They deserve the consideration of their well being too!!!
Well done! You are doing such an important work!
You can tell he’s had a long day here. His hair is flying. I love it. Workin hard
Dr Mike you need to come to Ontario Canada and talk to the premier of the province about him constantly cutting health care.
If america made medical school free/affordable more students will be more motivated to pursue medicine. The cost of tuition doesnt feel worth it spending 12 more years in school w/o support.
You’d be surprised medical school is actually really competitive. The problem of this is because there isn’t a lot of medical school spots but a ton of applicants so you need to be a high achiever to get a chance at medical school especially for those higher end schools. I’d personally say that reimbursements need to go up and that more medical school and residency spots open up so this is a good step in the right direction. But to maintain this the reimbursements have to 100% go up and keep up with inflation
@@xplicitgoofy1015 Even if you lower the bar and make it almost free, there still isn't enough doctors. It's pretty much the situation in France, it's also impossible to find specialists without waiting months, or any regular physician quickly. And the requirements went down quite a bit already.
There is a way you can get a college-level education for free purchase college books or find them for free and then start reading them you won't be able to get a doctor's job but at least you'll have that education
There’s simply not enough medical schools in the US for the amount of doctors needed. Not to mention the astronomical cost of attending medical school
Nothing is free.
This is great news! More staff is always needed, not just for the patients, but for the staff so they don't get overworked. Next project: making health care affordable.
Will there be more medical school slots to be open as well?
Young Mike hasn’t changed a bit 😂
I was wondering what the heck had happened to that patient to make them look how they did.... it took me way too long to realise it was a mannequin 🤣🤣
The world lost so many healthcare providers in the last few years, for so many reasons.
So incredible! Thank you Dr.Mike!
There needs to be more incentives for people to become doctors. Doctors work such insane hours and in retrospect don't get paid that much when looking at the debt they incure to actually get their degree.
$1B !?! That's enough to pay the salary of like 12 doctors 😜
Respect to all the health care professionals... a reform needs to be done
This has been an issue for over 50 years. My father was the ONLY doctor in our entire County. 1---10,000 was way too much. I am glad this is finally moving forward.
Why do we need govt money for more residency spots? Aren't they private hospitals? We need universal Healthcare so we can stop giving money to these terrible places that put profit over people's lives.
BUT THANK YOU FOR ALL THAT YOU DO AND GLAD WE GOT THE FUNDING FOR MORE DOCS!
ah yes *doctor* strange is the patient
tbf he was once upon a time 😀
Congrats! It must be why our hospital and my favorite neurologist has been telling me about our hospital getting neuro residents. Thanks 😊❤️
Thank you for this. Havent had a primary care doctor since I was a kid because I simply have not been able to find one in my insurance network that's accepting new patients. I didnt realize this was such a widespread problem. Thank you Dr. Mike you're doing God's work ❤
how tf am i so early lol
Another fix for that issue is to make doctors immigrate in an easier way to the USA.
Technically yes, but practically the medical field is one of those where any misunderstandings due to language barriers can be especially lethal. So that's one of the fields where extra caution is necessary. If we're talking about people with the qualifications getting other paperwork hurdles lowered, then yes, that may work. Then again ... name a country where there's no lack of health professionals. See the problem? It would be depriving areas that cannot pay that well of the little help they could have.
It is really really not that simple in this specific case. :\
@@KxNOxUTAyou can solve the language issue by making them take a language test before letting them in. And there's a lot of people from poor countries who'd love to provide for their families a better life by immigrating
Bless you Docter Mike. Thank you for doing so much for the patients, doctors, nurses, staff, techs etc. ❤️
I’m so grateful that part of that bill includes maternal health spending ❤️.
👏👏👏👏👏
Doctor pay goes down, and the issues of paperwork fatigue and bureaucracy don't move an inch. Classic government strats 👌
Very proud of you Dr Mike
You are a proud for your perents... And as a human you are amezing and very inspiring.... thankyou Dr Mike. God bless you.
I don't normally like Chuck Schumer but I think it's a very important to point out when people do good things and this is a very good thing
Yeah he just didn’t tell you what else’s they spent the money on. There is way too much pork in that bill which will cost everyone.
Chucks the last guy you want to reach to get something done lmfao
Congratulations!
Your making a big difference!
i hope the money goes into treating health care workers better :(
🤞🏽
so he asked a corrupt politician for help
Can we also increase med school seats👀 there are thousands of people willing and devoting their life to this, and never getting the chance
med school seats are based on residency openings so they did
It doesn’t matter how many residency slots there are! Many of those spots will be filled with foreign students who will go back home later. Most of those residents aren’t going to stay in primary care. Even if they complete any primary care residency and pass the associated boards, they will turn corporate, academic or concierge. They might even go on to fellowship and get out of primary care entirely. I am STILL an independent family physician after 26 years. It is hard, but so worth it.
That smile😍 i really love that you love your job! thank u so much for all your advices
GREAT ⚕️ NEWS! THANKS DR. MIKE!🙂
And Thankyou to All Medical Professionals!🙂
The American Medical Association has allegedly been lobbying hard to keep the supply of doctors low and ensure doctor pay remains high. This has to stop.
According to the American Hospital Association, that is false- “The legislation will provide, beginning in 2026, an additional 200 Medicare-funded GME residency positions. At least half of the positions will be dedicated to psychiatry and psychiatry subspecialty residencies.”
I could not find information regarding other additional residency positions…Please correct me if I’m wrong.
Let's make sure we pay those residents livable wages too though!
Thanks to All involved. Thanks dr Mike
I believe when one meets with a legislator one doesn’t wear scrubs regardless of how much they’ve been tailored.
Are you serious? He’s there to represent his profession. I don’t see the issue.
Thank you so much mike it will really help a lot of people out their
❤️❤️🌹🌹
Happy to see this stuff happening! Don’t forget about us social workers too! Healthcare is just one of the dozens of areas we work in. 😭
