    He's not only hot in looks but he's even hotter because he doesn't have a irritating ego about it, he's obviously very intelligent and succeeded despite having it rough growing up.

      He came to the US when he was young, and therefore has almost no accent. I'm also an immigrant to the US, my family moved here when I was 4, and since I was so little, I was able to fully embrace the English language, even though it was my third language. I'm 14 right now and most people can't tell that I am not a natural-born American until I tell them. When you're younger, its so much easier to learn a new language

    Yes he’s handsome but how about praising him for his incredible achievements and morals and intelligence and integrity? Why does the media have to constantly sexualise people before they see anything else? It’s so frustrating and it makes people see his outside appearance before his character which is unfair because he is clearly such an incredible person aswell as his looks

    Cool guy. Maybe it's just me, but I feel like the title "sexist doctor" is almost trivializing Dr. Mike's accomplishments. The hardest working? Most driven? Charming? Focused? Passionate? I feel like, although outward appearance can speak about a person's self dicipline, only talking about that doesn't do the person as a whole justice. A person can be born pretty, but they're not born with a work ethic.

    • @kasiowelove1
      @kasiowelove1 7 років тому +55

      I totally agree with you. Firstly when I heard about 'the sexiest doctor alive' I thought 'yeah, just another XXI century guy who likes looking at the mirror and happens to have a little bit of brain'. But then I started watching his awesome youtube channel, did some research and it quickly turned out that he is an amazing human being not only on the outside, but MOSTLY on the inside. And that is what should be emphasized when talking about Mike.

    I’m going to be honest... I at first pressed his videos because I thought he was handsome, I want to look at being a doctor, and I wanted to see what his channel was about. I didn’t expect to stay long because most people who would have this title are very egotistical, but then I saw how in none of his videos he even tries to mention his attractiveness or the title people give him. He is very handsome in my opinion and I know that he is trying to take advantage of this title to get people to understand the importance of medicine and the benefits. He might not be comfortable with the title but it was given to him and he is using it to help people. I say that the title was given to the right person if it was going to be given to anybody.
