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.
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.
it's kinda scary when an oncology nurse thinks cancer is 1 illness that could ever have 1 cure.
That ICU nurse that thinks people suffering with addiction should pay more... 🚩🚩🚩🚩
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.
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.
Let me just clarify, the issue in the UK is NOT because it is universal healthcare, it's because the current leaders are running it poorly.
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
Its crazy how dismissive people are of mental health. Even a supposed ICU-Nurse overlooks it in some desire for the myth off meritocracy.
Hot take:
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.
Hot take: Hospitals should have open air windows/ decks for patients to utilize (when not contraindicated like with something like asthma during pollen season/ high pollution areas or a mental health risk). As a nurse who has worked in hospitals and then been a patient for an extended time, I have never understood why fresh outside air is so difficult to access.
Doctor mike giving his knowledge on medical hot takes is amazing, it allows him to vent his frustration while dealing with the misconceptions
As a physical therapist, it made me so happy to hear you say "you continue that neural activation pathway to keep good control of your muscle." I say this at least 3-4 times a day to different patients, if not more. We've moved away from following the RICE method, and so many patients are misinformed, or so scared they will only further injure themselves, and they have to be taught safe movements for proper healing. Thank you for including this!
I love how empathetic and understanding of all sides, Dr. Mike is. It's such a rare, difficult thing to find in people nowadays ❤
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 ♥
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.
