@DrDhand the problem here in the US is that going about interviewing doctors isn’t part of the process. In other words doctors don’t give interviews. You choose one and hope for the best, and then you can interview them and if you don’t like them you’re back to square one. What would be great would be some sort of community or network of doctors that think like you. That way we know we have good doctors and can pick based on other more practical factors.
Hello, question for you, doctor... Have you noticed that any other diagnosis with an "ia" at the end of it, i.e. anorexia, bulimia, etc. seemed to be treated as if they should be helped to stop that particular "self distortion" that can get in the way of healthy living within society and yet, today, a man wearing makeup is a woman suddenly and can tell the whole world WE must support this "self distortion" and if we don't, the government and medical field say we're the problem?
Regrettably actual Doctors are out of touch with their patients!! I have been working on the medical public sector for over 16 years in Dominican Republic and let me tell you that is not a problem only in usa!! But everywhere ( medicine has become too comercial) and money is the key word for every specialty!! And it seems to get worse with new generations!! As a teacher it amazes me to see how the new generations perceive me ( sort of a monk) the regular question is!! But you could be rich in the private sector!?? Yes!! But the hole point was to treat the sick both physically and mentally ( as a third generation of very poor Doctors in my family but rich in friendships and trust from my Patients I can say that the best honor in life is to be able to serve another person in need!!
I was on a lot of prescription meds up until about 6 years ago. I was given meds for anxiety, depression, sleep, pain, stomach issues, skin problems and many more. My then GP handed out pills like lollies. I am totally pharmaceutical free now and have never felt better. I totally believe they kept me feeling ill.
When I was a lot younger I used to see doctors as superior and ultra intelligent , then I met a couple who were rude and strange, to be honest Creepy. I swear once one was inebriated, I’d had a miscarriage and was asking about a D and C and he was unsympathetic and vile. I was literally in grief and he showed no sympathy except to slur he’s words and have a bright red sweaty face That’s what I like about getting older you see through a lot of the BS
@@tomare6479she was the one having the miscarriage and you expect her to give herself more to others even when she's losing her child?why?? Just bcuz she is a woman and she has no right to ask for compassion?wow
Almost impossible to find that kind of doctor in the USA. It’s a monopoly. Finding a doctor is not easy. My doctor retired. I was transferred to another doctor from the same practice. When I called for appointment to get my prescriptions, the office said they don’t have any appointments for next six months. When I asked them to give me refills, they said they can’t do that unless the new doctor sees me first. They then advised me to go to urgent care to get my prescriptions filled. I could go on. The medical care in the USA really sucks. When supply side is limited and controlled, the consumer is lucky if they find a doctor.
If an MD had a BIO on line like that, I bet people would flock to them. I'm 62. Got myself through some serious health concerns by following Dr Berg. I also did Gerson Therapy for colon cancer. Healthier now than When I was 40!
The establishment really tried to smear Gerson, claiming it ended Steve McQueen's life. Have you heard of the book, also a vid, "A World Without Cancer", by G Edward Griffin? It lays out the case for vit B17. YT banned the vid, but it's on яцмыэ.
Yes, I know you are a smart person because of your comment. I cured myself of mild to medium carotid artery stenosis. Lemon juice, apple cider vinegar,quercetin , NAC, raw local honey. According to lifeline screening ultra sound. Keep up the good work staying healthy!✌🏼👍🏼
@@theresamikelson2569 really blows my mind people much smarter than myself are so brainwashed, fearful or just to lazy to research. The fact that our bodies are self healing if given what we need plus removing ourselves from toxic people is suppressed knowledge.
It's reported that 1,000,000 people in the province of Ontario, Canada are without a family doctor. A general practitioner. Our government is talking about privatization of medical services which to me means big pharma coming to take over our medical complex.
My husband had a lot of doctors and one , NOT ONE was anywhere like you. It was so frustrating and honestly left me incredibly untrusting of ALL doctors. I have four persons friends who are doctors and I don't even trust them because they've shared too much with me about how doctors really think and feel about their patients.
Dr. Dhand, Thanks for the suggested questions to elicit a truthful response. In my 76 years I have found a handful of doctors with compassion and empathy for the patient and they were mostly primary care physicians. I have found such caring attributes extremely scarce with the specialist categories. Some are totally arrogant and prideful with no real concern for the patient especially in regard to informed consent and the patient's input.
I used to have a Lovely doctor in my healthcare practice ..she always listened and asked questions and even phoned me with blood test results and I trusted every word she said but she decided to retire from the practice just before the pandemic .. now I seem to have no doctor just receptionists who put us through to people who ask the questions that you can google to find out if its an emergency or not ..
Thanks for the heads up Dr Dhand. What you spoke about here is the same as an experience I had this week. My doctor and I talked about my involvement in lowering my very high cholesterol and reassuringly agreed with me that I can attempt to do it with my determination and with appropriate lifestyle changes. I left my consultation with her with a positive attitude, whereas when I had seen the pharmacist at the same practice a week previous she cited the numbers with a kind of shock in her tone and look. I left that meeting feeling down and worried. She expressed a negativity and saw statins as being the only answer to my results for elevated serum cholesterol. The difference in my feelings between the two meetings for the same test results was like chalk and cheese. My confidence that I can correct, or at least try to better, the condition was down to the doctors vibe, her attention, care, compassion, professionalism and vibe. Thanks for reinforcing this as being the basic principle underpinning good health care and patient wellbeing. It makes ALL the difference.
What I get from my doctor and the health care system is, if you're in pain or sick enough to see the doctor then go to the emergency clinic, other wise it's a three week wait. I had an over the phone "health assessment" with my insurance provider this week, 50 dollar gift card for doing it. 10 minutes and I'm not sure what the point of it was other than proving I'm healthy enough to answer the phone but for 50 bucks I'll play the game.
I had a PA who allowed me to go it alone mostly, even in a senior plan that "offered" constant tests "for prevention". When I refused to complete the ridiculous intake family questions on religious grounds, she spoke to me with a "helper" ( a psych person probably) and stood her silly ground---I refused to go back. Within the "system", all offices began forcing and pressuring me to fill out their forms better. I may have a terminal report or code in my records which flags me as mental or difficult. Simple Medicare allows me to go to the ER at will, and the ER's haven't tried to suck all information out of me. There should be a decline button. As with many, I too was one of the blind nurses once.
My goodness, how great it would be to find one like you. I surely know the questions, and every one in the "medical system" fail. There are many alternative medicine practitioners that fit the bill, however, the cost is astronomical. Two and a half years working on my digestive system health, has only been helped by my dedicated effort, and many "online" doctors, and natural websites. You are a rare find, in terms of medical doctors go. It is so refreshing, and really, just listening to you improves my health!!
At first I resented having to be my own doctor, and all the reading and research, learning which blood tests to request and how to read them all. This was after my pill pusher required a mask to enter the office but would not give me a peer reviewed study or basis for why. But in the end we all need to Take Responsibility for our own healthcare and not leave it in the hands of the witch doctors currently running the system.
Oh my gosh Dr Dhand, if everyone could be a Dr like you ,what a better world it would be . Dr Dhan ,my Dr had me on Gabapentin for awhile ,i told him i didnt want them anymore . My two daughters was giving GABAPENTIN as well for their dogs .. WHAT IS YOUR TAKE ON GABAPENTIN DR DHAND . I HAVE GOOGLED IT ,AND IT STARTED OUT AS A ANTISEZURE MED ,BUT ARE USE FOR SO MANY OTHER THINGS .?? THANK YOU FOR ALL YOU DO . G.BLESS.
When a doctor wants you to take a new drug before he actually prescribes it he should talk to the patient saying things like 'I want you to take this drug. This is the reason why. These are the benefits of it. These are the possible side effects of it. I would like you to come back weeks/months to see how well they worked. If you experience any of the side effects you can always come whenever you feel necessary.
I’m 66 years old and have not come across a doctor that cares. You don’t even have to really ask them anything, it’s the “no” eye contact and you getting the feeling they want you out of there. I’m sorry I lost faith in the medical profession a long time ago and COVID was the end for me.
With healthcare, like most things in life, we're on our own: each one of us has to make daily decisions about how best to build and maintain vitality. For acute cases, such as an automobile accident, the best we can hope for from the medical industry is a good technician to stop the blending, set a broken bone, etc. Even then, though, the healing process after initial trauma care is the responsibility of the individual.
While it might seem impossible, thank the Lord when you can find one. I did find an honest doctor and it took a lot of BS along the way. Right now most of us are on our own. Exercise and I hope you explore intermittent fasting. Put our Lord Jesus Christ first in everything you do and you will be justified and you will be at peace and you will be saved forever. If your faith does not develop the fruit of virtue with the highest virtue being humility then it is not faith in Lord. Peace my brother. Fight the good fight and stay strong.
Same here, I haven't seen a GP doctor or specialist who cares for over 20 years. Personally, I never have any health issues, and haven't been to a doctor since 2002. But I saw how badly my parents were treated by doctors in their later years. My dad was bounced around from specialist to specialist for 5-6 years. None of them found the root cause of his condition, all they did was run a bunch of expensive tests, and prescribe some new med that my Dad hadn't tried before. The last time I took him to the hospital emergency room, there was a woman doctor who to my surprise, actually listened to me describe in detail his symptoms and treatment over the last 6 years (My dad was too ill to speak for himself). She immediately said she thought she knew what the problem was, and did a simple test to confirm it. She was right. He had a pretty rare autoimmune disease that causes inflammation of the arteries, restricting blood flow and causing extreme fatigue and stress on internal organs. He had all the symptoms for years, yet no other doctor bothered to do the test. Detected early, it's a treatable disease, but it was too late for my Dad, his internal organs were failing because of it, and he never made it out of the hospital again.
Thank you so much for your honest approach to health care. As a retired nurse, 42 years in the system, i agree with you 100%! I'm glad I'm out of the system too.
Same here. Long Covid forced me into early retirement after 34 yrs. I’ve had to fight for 4 years to get proper Drs care from my GP. I’ve found sending regular anonymous written complaints to CQC ( an organisation run by many nurses) to be, very effective. Flagging up anything from appalling arrogant attitudes and lack of empathy from Dr’s to problems with receptionist’s, has been very effective. CQC Audit Drs surgeries once a year on average. If problems are flagged up by patients on the CQC website anonymously, it triggers a response from CQC. It still doesn’t find you the nice Dr, but it pulls the bad ones into line ASAP. Try it and see, it works.
I have no doctor. Not anymore. Not since the plandemic. The one I had I thought was pretty great until I saw her deal with covid. I was so discusted. Not even worth talking about.😢
"Is giving a baby 4 of the lockdown special pokes before 1 year without benefit/risk ratio ETHICAL?" That is what I asked and he just looked guilty did not answer.
Yeah, right now my GP is a prescription robot. But I'm highly educated on the topic. I can see how he could harm people who aren't fully educated, ie - >99% of people. When I go to him, sometimes my asthma flares up, I already know what I need; fluticasone inhaler 220 mcg, three puffs per week. He'll prescribe two puffs every day, but I know I don't need that, and I discontinue the medicine as soon as I can. He'll also offer me blood pressure pills for my white-coat syndrome, (my BP at home is 110/70) which I decline to take.
Same I pretty much tell mine what I need how much I need and he does it he did ask if I'd be willing to have surgery for my thoracic outlet syndrome and I said no I would continue to exercise and would my insurance cover any kind of Massage. He looked at me like I was nuts wrote something down and canceled my nerve induction test
@@paulettelamontagne6992 if you have an HSA, go to a chiropractor that has massage. Mine is paid for with my HSA and I don't necessarily have to see the doctor.
My asthma was caused by my fancy mice I kept for two years. As soon as I had no more mice, my asthma was gone. I was befuddled that my GP never did an allergy test.
@@paulettelamontagne6992 Good for you!!! It takes srlf confidence to fo this!!!! You must believe in your own common sense! Being good!!! And most doctors are not to smart!!! Except in a cassroom!!!!!! They are smart in medical school. But otherwise not to smart!!! Like mist people!
If you are not in the financial market space right now, you are making a huge mistake. I understand that it could be due to ignorance, but if you want to make your money work for you... prevent inflation
Thanks for continuing updates I'd rather trade the crypto market as it's more profitable. I make a good amount of money per week even though I barely trade myself.
A lot of people still make massive profit from the crypto market, all you really need is a relevant information and some ‹professional advice. ‹it's totally inappropriate for investors to hang on while suffering from dip during significant
I like my Dr because she respects my right to be in control of my health. She accepts that I don't want any vaxes, statins or routine tests except blood work and doesn't push them. After being carnivore for a year I got myself off of my BP meds and she was supportive.
That is wonderful to hear My Doctor was the same But sadly he changed during the height of the madness in 2021 And sold his soul I have lost all trust and respect
Psychedelics are just an exceptional mental health breakthrough. It's quite fascinating how effective they are against depression and anxiety. Saved my life.
YES!!!! Sometimes Drugs is the best way to go!!!!! Or even the only way to go!!! Because nothing else will work! Nothing nearly as well!!! Or doesnot eork at all! But the right drugs are a life saver for many people with many different kinds of mental or physical health problems!!!! There are side effects!!! And there is other drugs to help with them! You must do the best you can about negative side effects! Negative side effects must be weighted against the Good the drugs are doing for you!!!! Sometimes the only teal treatment is meds! But to take a shot once a week to lose weight; and you don’t have to change your bad behavior that made you fat is really bad Bullshit medicine!!!! But if I get syphiliis I want that antibiotic!!!) also; ( IF IT SOUNDS TO GOOD TO BE TRUE!!!! With anything!!!! IT IS!!!!!!
Most of them are painfully arrogant and condescending. I'm a problem solver and could never rush people through a 2 to10 minute appointment which is the norm. If I was in the system I would actually encourage a longer appointment as there is a one question rule per appointment at most clinics in my town. Most consider 10 minutes to be a very long conversation.
Sometimes, I think I'm seeing a laptop not a doctor. Some of them spend all their time on their computer. All your information goes into the computer, and it seems the diagnosis and treatment come from that laptop as well. It's like what's the point why not just do an internet search yourself?
I have a very good dr. She looks me in the eyes and not on her computer, but she knows me and knows I refuse most medications. Even when she prescribes antibiotics I give her the 3rd degree on whether it’s necessary or is my body capable of fighting this germ off by itself. One thing she said confused me. She said she had to write a script for something. I can’t remember what it was for but she said she knew I wouldn’t take it anyway but she said if she didn’t write it she could get in trouble for not doing her job.
I find it interesting that your Dr felt she had to write a prescription. Now I wonder if that’s the reason some doctors have been angry with me and one said she thought I had a history of non-compliance because I wouldn’t take particular meds. Hmmm… 🤔 Thanks for your comment!
I had one like that, but she retired 3 years ago. She was my doc for 25 years. I haven't been to the doctor since - actually, it's impossible to find one - it's all PA'S and Nurse Practitioners.
The doctors, especially if they are part of a group or accept insurance, are tracked on their prescribing history, and can get censored if not enough income going to Big Pharma. The state of Texas tried repeatedly to take away the license of Dr Burzynski, who compounds his own medicines individually for his patients to heal neuroblastoma. He moved his practice to Texas because it is a lone state where this is legal. But, he is across the street from MD Anderson Cancer Center and they can’t heal neuroblastoma cancer, but he does.
@@HopefulEmpath lol. Yep I have been labeled non compliant too by other drs. I remember going to an ENT ( ear, nose, throat) dr because I had an enlarged parathyroid gland that was discovered after I had a car accident when they did a scan of my neck. Long story short the specialist wanted me to have some sort of mri with contrast. I refused, not only because I didn’t want the contrast, I just didn’t feel comfortable having the same guy who removes my ear wax doing surgery on me . Non compliant was written across my chart. He could see where it was from my hospital records. Long story short. I found a surgeon that I had confidence in. Told him no mri with contrast and he said he wasn’t even going to suggest it anyway explaining the surgery is the same only my incision would be in a different area. I had the surgery. All is well. Not even a scar because he made the incision in the fold my neck. I guess the moral of my story is find a doctor who listens and is willing to give you explanations.
I went to an appointment yesterday. As he stood across the room clicking on his computer, I had two issues and a question about a prescription that he had previously written. After the first issue, about 5 minutes, he told me 'if you have more issues, if that was the first one then you need to hurry up.' I mean, the whole appointment took 12 minutes and I cannot see him for a month when booking online. I am sick of it.
Thank you Dr. Sunil Dhand for being honest and informative over the past years. During the last pandemic, I asked my fam. doctor whether I should take the media suggested vaccine ( but had concerns about side effects, and whether the vaccine should be rather provided on an individual medical consideration). My doctor (on the phone) was at least honest: “Oh, please don’t ask me that question, you are right, but I signed a letter of agreement with our health authorities, not to discourage any patient from the vaccine...or they suspend my license.”, the doctor said.
A sad state of our medical establishment. To overcome some of the commented disconnect with the doctor, it pays off to know your doctor or their friends outside of their medical business. It appears then that they have that personal bond with you, looking in your eyes instead on the screen, answering more personal to your questions.
I'm 68. Only once in my life did I have a truly caring doctor (in suburban Detroit). He was from Sri Lanka, so maybe there is also a cultural aspect to this issue. I don't know.
I haven't had a doctor for almost a year. I had to drop the one I had. It was my first visit with him. He spent a total of 5 minutes with me, didn't look over my patient history, and cut me off when I asked him a question. (I am a former nurse, now in my 70's). I was so appalled by his behavior!!! The reason I went to him was because my former doctor left town and didn't even let me know. What is happening with these doctors????????? Just awful! I have lost respect for these medical people...sorry, I can no longer call them medical "professionals".
Me and two of my sisters have been nurses since 93 and 94. One has her masters. My cousin’s wife left teaching and went into nursing. One of my sisters and I tried to help her study and learn the information they are teaching. It’s not the same anymore. There wasn’t anything in skills, disease, treatments etc. it was all about scenarios of dealing with communicating, management, and stuff like that. I left 10 years ago but I was precepting students and wasn’t sure what they were being taught because when it came to skills, they went from only giving meds to one patient with the teacher over them to me seeing if they could manage a whole team. I knew we were doomed then.
I drive 500 miles to see my doctor since I moved to another state. She's that good. When my wife was very sick and her doctors weren't helping, I took her to my doctor. My wife will tell you that doctor saved her life.
I just found a new doctor and he literally spent about 30 minutes with me! He literally even examined me and listened with a stethoscope and then gave medical advice. I am beyond shocked and I think I’m in love. And to top it off he didn’t recommend statins.
I have a Naturopathic doctor for the rare occasion that I need help dealing with something, which is rare. We also have a Quick Care affiliated with the teaching hospital in my city that is better than any doctors office, in case of emergency. That’s it.
I selected my doctor when he was a hospitalist and I was in the hospital for surgery (orthopedic). Talking with me, I felt he really CARED about his patients! How valuable that is! He far surpassed almost all of my previous doctors. I wish my mother could have had a similar caring physician but the choice was limited by insurance.
When I moved to another state I had to find a new PCP. I called many and my one and only question was: "Do you accept new patients?". Many said NO! I was lucky to get someone, anyone... I wish I had a large pool of doctors to pick from based on their philosophy and work ethic. I am stuck with a doctor who lost some patients, for whatever reason. Time will tell how good is he. My gut feeling says I will be disappointed. We no longer have the luxury of picking who we might like. We are stuck with those whose patients ran from them...
What examination table ?They sit me in a metal chair next to the examination table, can’t remember the last time they even listened to my heart or touched me in any way.
Only problem I have to pay them even if I'm not happy with the service, if I walk out without any diagnosis, etc. I want to be able to screen them for free, like a free consultation. This is why I will not go to a doctor that has remained in the system. The only ones left are corrupt box checkers.
You are a breath of fresh air Dr Suneel, unfortunately there isn’t a Dr like you that I have come across. I wish u were my Dr! Sending love from the UK ❤️
Usually the algorithm tends to delete my comments so i will apply reverse psychology here. Most GPs in Australia are wonderful individuals that dont tend to behave like pharma and goverment shill reporters that sit down in fron of a PC never looking at your face when you talk. They are definitely not negligent and useless pill promoters. Now make sure you understand the reverse psychology comments here
I'm .77 When I was growing up we had a family doctor. He knew us all inside out and regularly came to the house. After he died everything went pear shaped and my doctors were never the same again. That breed back in the 40's 50's and 60's were very rare indeed.
This video is actually "How to determine if your CURRENT GP is a good doctor". This has nothing to do with FINDING a good doctor, which is impossible (for the average person) in the USA system. Of course someone that is paying out of pocket, for a private doctor, in a private practice, can interview many doctors and choose the best of the best.
I have a Direct Care physician, she's the best - a real person who's OK with me wanting to investigate a natural route or seek jab alternatives. Definitely not a robot.
The exam table 😂 the last time I used an exam table was to have my last baby, 45 yrs ago! I've never been asked by any Dr since then to be examined! They just google symptoms and get the latest drugs on tap.
My best appointment with my OK GP was the one before he retired. Screen remained blanc, he sat and looked at me and listened. Didn't prescribe pills but lifestyle changes. I left feeling cared for.
What people need most are resources to good doctors. There are so many doctors out there and most of them are the type that do not look at you or talk to you or ask you questions. They just have a relationship with the computer. Finding a good one is literally like looking for a needle in a haystack. It's a horrible situation.
If your doctor is a 'believer and supporter'' of Miracle Drugs, you might consider asking a follow-up question, which is... What does he think of the Plethora of Side-effects of most all of those so-called Miracle Drugs?!
There is a one symptom to complain about rule here which makes it impossible to get a diagnosis of a syndrome with multiple symptoms. I had multiple injuries from a fall and the doctor would only report one at the time so I just gave up going and waited a very long time to recover.
Recently had my yearly Medicare exam. What a farce! I was asked if I’d had any falls recently to which I responded yes. She asked if I was having any lingering problems from them. Didn’t ask what happened, just told me to take meclazine (antivert) if I was feeling unstable. She asked if I was safe at home. She checked my ears and heart and that was it. I told her I wanted to go off a couple medications. She said she didn’t think I should, but I insisted, so she grudgingly agreed to a six month trial.
I hear you ... and agree with you, doctor. Realistically speaking, I would need to meet with 100+ doctors to find that needle in a haystack. I'd rather eat right, exercise, avoid all vices and major risks, get annual lab work directly from the labs, research any conditions myself, and only use the medical system (and insurance) in a dire emergency.
In years past we had doctors who went into medicine because they truly were committed to their patients health and well being. Now this " new breed" of doctors are care-LESS, rude, narcissistic and are sadly driven by money. I live in NE Texas and all of our really good doctors have either died because they were very old or they have left the practitioner side of medicine all together and gone into the Administrative side. What has been brought in to replace them are horrible! What's graduating from medical school today should terrify us all! I have zero use for them.
The doctors now days wouldn’t answer any of those questions. You would get yelled at for asking . A doctor was going to give me shot of something and I just ask what it was and got yelled at like I was questioning his ability or intelligence. So no to asking doctors questions,
I believe in a doctor having a textbook / experience. I'm finding too many doctors out there that rely on textbook medicine. I've been on a low dose Alprazolam for about 40 years and I just found a doctor that wants me off of it it will not prescribe it. I'm in big trouble.
I read an article about a student who decided after med school that her calling was not medicine and did not pursue a career in medicone. She said that she felt that about 50% of her class really didn't want to be doctors but after the four year investment didn't have the courage to back out. Do you feel that most doctors really would rather do something else? In the 70s-80s insurance company wrote generous disability plans for doctors because they thought that doctors would be highly motivated to continue work as doctors. What they found out is that many would rather take the disability benefits and change professions, which was a huge shock to the industry. I've found that many doctors don't care, and a few are sociopaths or psychopaths who want to harm their patients.
I need to talk to my old doctor about coming out of retirement...great GP. One of the PN's from his old practice just left there. She opened her own wellness clinic. No insurance accepted and no appts. needed! Her parking lot is always full..😊
I found that doctor once. Unfortunately, he was in an urgent care facility. I was the only patient at the time and we had an interesting conversation about pharmaceutical studies.
I am in my 70's and has had surgery for cervical spondolysis and CABG. During my most resent medical examination, my new GP ( I ditched the previous doctor) she told me "your iron levels were slightly elevated but I will not worry about it". She then informed that my cholesterol levels were also slightly on the high side. I told her " I will not worry about it". She smiled and said "I respect your informed decision". She will henceforth be my GP permanently.
I’ve only found one doctor like you and I met him on an airplane. He was sceptical, angry about the system and unjabbed. I’d have to drive 3 hours to see him and that would be worth it.
I would also recommend thinking about alternative medical styles. I grew up with a family doctor who was a D.O. (Osteopathic). When I moved to my current community, about 6 years ago, I reviewed the list of local physicians in this small town, and chose the one available D.O. to try. I have been seeing him, since, and have been very happy with that choice. He is caring, listens to me, and responsive about making referrals or prescribing tests, if I need them. Good luck, everyone!
Here's a couple more --a doctor who makes sure to explain things in a way you understand, a doctor who ultimately lets you make your own decisions, even though it might not be the choice they would make.

I have been working on the medical public sector for over 16 years in Dominican Republic and let me tell you that is not a problem only in usa!! But everywhere ( medicine has become too comercial) and money is the key word for every specialty!! And it seems to get worse with new generations!! As a teacher it amazes me to see how the new generations perceive me ( sort of a monk) the regular question is!! But you could be rich in the private sector!?? Yes!! But the hole point was to treat the sick both physically and mentally ( as a third generation of very poor Doctors in my family but rich in friendships and trust from my Patients I can say that the best honor in life is to be able to serve another person in need!!
We’d all love to have a Doctor like Dr Suneel Dhand ✊💪🙏🏆
I would love a doctor like Dr Dhand as well
YES!
Me too
Yes, please!!!!!
I was on a lot of prescription meds up until about 6 years ago. I was given meds for anxiety, depression, sleep, pain, stomach issues, skin problems and many more. My then GP handed out pills like lollies. I am totally pharmaceutical free now and have never felt better. I totally believe they kept me feeling ill.
Well done to you
@marylynch951 thank you 😊
When I was a lot younger I used to see doctors as superior and ultra intelligent , then I met a couple who were rude and strange, to be honest Creepy. I swear once one was inebriated, I’d had a miscarriage and was asking about a D and C and he was unsympathetic and vile. I was literally in grief and he showed no sympathy except to slur he’s words and have a bright red sweaty face
That’s what I like about getting older you see through a lot of the BS
Isn’t that the truth!
Maybe he was sad, you should show some empathy
@@tomare6479she was the one having the miscarriage and you expect her to give herself more to others even when she's losing her child?why?? Just bcuz she is a woman and she has no right to ask for compassion?wow
So sorry.
Being educated does not always make one intellegent
Almost impossible to find that kind of doctor in the USA. It’s a monopoly. Finding a doctor is not easy. My doctor retired. I was transferred to another doctor from the same practice. When I called for appointment to get my prescriptions, the office said they don’t have any appointments for next six months. When I asked them to give me refills, they said they can’t do that unless the new doctor sees me first. They then advised me to go to urgent care to get my prescriptions filled. I could go on. The medical care in the USA really sucks. When supply side is limited and controlled, the consumer is lucky if they find a doctor.
If an MD had a BIO on line like that, I bet people would flock to them. I'm 62. Got myself through some serious health concerns by following Dr Berg. I also did Gerson Therapy for colon cancer. Healthier now than When I was 40!
The establishment really tried to smear Gerson, claiming it ended Steve McQueen's life.

It's reported that 1,000,000 people in the province of Ontario, Canada are without a family doctor. A general practitioner. Our government is talking about privatization of medical services which to me means big pharma coming to take over our medical complex.

Please come over to India in any good city and you may get medical consultations from reasonably good doctors.
My husband had a lot of doctors and one , NOT ONE was anywhere like you. It was so frustrating and honestly left me incredibly untrusting of ALL doctors. I have four persons friends who are doctors and I don't even trust them because they've shared too much with me about how doctors really think and feel about their patients.
I have a brother who is a family medicine provider. He and I don’t have a lot to say to each other after, “Hi, How are you doing?
Doctors are sales agents of big pharma..they are trained to write chemicals...certainly not trained to cure or to guide you on hiw not to fall ill
Dr. Dhand, Thanks for the suggested questions to elicit a truthful response. In my 76 years I have found a handful of doctors with compassion and empathy for the patient and they were mostly primary care physicians. I have found such caring attributes extremely scarce with the specialist categories. Some are totally arrogant and prideful with no real concern for the patient especially in regard to informed consent and the patient's input.
I used to have a Lovely doctor in my healthcare practice ..she always listened and asked questions and even phoned me with blood test results and I trusted every word she said but she decided to retire from the practice just before the pandemic .. now I seem to have no doctor just receptionists who put us through to people who ask the questions that you can google to find out if its an emergency or not ..
I can only imagine how our Gps would react if we questioned them.
Thank you Dr Suneel
May God continue protecting you and your family
Thanks for the heads up Dr Dhand. What you spoke about here is the same as an experience I had this week. My doctor and I talked about my involvement in lowering my very high cholesterol and reassuringly agreed with me that I can attempt to do it with my determination and with appropriate lifestyle changes. I left my consultation with her with a positive attitude, whereas when I had seen the pharmacist at the same practice a week previous she cited the numbers with a kind of shock in her tone and look. I left that meeting feeling down and worried. She expressed a negativity and saw statins as being the only answer to my results for elevated serum cholesterol. The difference in my feelings between the two meetings for the same test results was like chalk and cheese. My confidence that I can correct, or at least try to better, the condition was down to the doctors vibe, her attention, care, compassion, professionalism and vibe. Thanks for reinforcing this as being the basic principle underpinning good health care and patient wellbeing. It makes ALL the difference.
What I get from my doctor and the health care system is, if you're in pain or sick enough to see the doctor then go to the emergency clinic, other wise it's a three week wait. I had an over the phone "health assessment" with my insurance provider this week, 50 dollar gift card for doing it. 10 minutes and I'm not sure what the point of it was other than proving I'm healthy enough to answer the phone but for 50 bucks I'll play the game.
I think they are finding out whether to raise your insurance.
I get the same. Also $60/month off my Part B Medicare premium. But no physicians available, so no PCP.
Great advice Doctor. Aussie Bob
Cheers Bob, appreciate you watching!
I had a PA who allowed me to go it alone mostly, even in a senior plan that "offered" constant tests "for prevention". When I refused to complete the ridiculous intake family questions on religious grounds, she spoke to me with a "helper" ( a psych person probably) and stood her silly ground---I refused to go back. Within the "system", all offices began forcing and pressuring me to fill out their forms better. I may have a terminal report or code in my records which flags me as mental or difficult. Simple Medicare allows me to go to the ER at will, and the ER's haven't tried to suck all information out of me. There should be a decline button. As with many, I too was one of the blind nurses once.
I ask my doctor. my blood type she ask me what I want it for and did not tell and she is my primary care doctor
very easy to find that out without a doctor
Question is. How do I get am appointment with a doctor?
In the 10 minute consultation, most of it spent typing into the computer, there is little time left for asking these type of questions😢.
Sad but true
My goodness, how great it would be to find one like you. I surely know the questions, and every one in the "medical system" fail. There are many alternative medicine practitioners that fit the bill, however, the cost is astronomical. Two and a half years working on my digestive system health, has only been helped by my dedicated effort, and many "online" doctors, and natural websites. You are a rare find, in terms of medical doctors go. It is so refreshing, and really, just listening to you improves my health!!
I think we would have to go back a few years to find one of those. We are just unimportant bodies passing on a conveyor belt. 😕
At first I resented having to be my own doctor, and all the reading and research, learning which blood tests to request and how to read them all. This was after my pill pusher required a mask to enter the office but would not give me a peer reviewed study or basis for why. But in the end we all need to Take Responsibility for our own healthcare and not leave it in the hands of the witch doctors currently running the system.
Im almost 50. I went out of network to Cedars-Sinai, and now they want me to be a lab rat again. I said 49.5 years was plenty.
This has been my issue. I scroll through all the Doctors in my insurance plan. Haven’t found one yet. It’s frustrating
Impossible I've never found one 😢
Please tell us how to find an honest dentist.
I would love to package you up ,put on a plane to Canada and be my doctor!

Why are the dogs on it? Are they having seizures? MSG can cause it in dogs (and probably humans as well)
My doctor doesn't seem to care and I think he's addicted to amphetamines. First time I met him he laughed at me. I honestly think he's no good.
Wash their hands? None do that anymore nor do they use hand sanitizer
When a doctor wants you to take a new drug before he actually prescribes it he should talk to the patient saying things like 'I want you to take this drug. This is the reason why. These are the benefits of it. These are the possible side effects of it. I would like you to come back weeks/months to see how well they worked. If you experience any of the side effects you can always come whenever you feel necessary.
I call them Google Drs.. Thats literally what they do.
I’m 66 years old and have not come across a doctor that cares. You don’t even have to really ask them anything, it’s the “no” eye contact and you getting the feeling they want you out of there. I’m sorry I lost faith in the medical profession a long time ago and COVID was the end for me.
With healthcare, like most things in life, we're on our own: each one of us has to make daily decisions about how best to build and maintain vitality. For acute cases, such as an automobile accident, the best we can hope for from the medical industry is a good technician to stop the blending, set a broken bone, etc. Even then, though, the healing process after initial trauma care is the responsibility of the individual.
While it might seem impossible, thank the Lord when you can find one. I did find an honest doctor and it took a lot of BS along the way. Right now most of us are on our own. Exercise and I hope you explore intermittent fasting. Put our Lord Jesus Christ first in everything you do and you will be justified and you will be at peace and you will be saved forever. If your faith does not develop the fruit of virtue with the highest virtue being humility then it is not faith in Lord. Peace my brother. Fight the good fight and stay strong.
Same here, I haven't seen a GP doctor or specialist who cares for over 20 years. Personally, I never have any health issues, and haven't been to a doctor since 2002. But I saw how badly my parents were treated by doctors in their later years. My dad was bounced around from specialist to specialist for 5-6 years. None of them found the root cause of his condition, all they did was run a bunch of expensive tests, and prescribe some new med that my Dad hadn't tried before. The last time I took him to the hospital emergency room, there was a woman doctor who to my surprise, actually listened to me describe in detail his symptoms and treatment over the last 6 years (My dad was too ill to speak for himself). She immediately said she thought she knew what the problem was, and did a simple test to confirm it. She was right. He had a pretty rare autoimmune disease that causes inflammation of the arteries, restricting blood flow and causing extreme fatigue and stress on internal organs. He had all the symptoms for years, yet no other doctor bothered to do the test. Detected early, it's a treatable disease, but it was too late for my Dad, his internal organs were failing because of it, and he never made it out of the hospital again.
I am in corrupt California, 63 in good health, no meds. But just looking for a doctor that will truly listen!

There are a few good ones,
Ask around…
Thank you so much for your honest approach to health care. As a retired nurse, 42 years in the system, i agree with you 100%!
I'm glad I'm out of the system too.
Same here. Long Covid forced me into early retirement after 34 yrs. I’ve had to fight for 4 years to get proper Drs care from my GP. I’ve found sending regular anonymous written complaints to CQC ( an organisation run by many nurses) to be, very effective. Flagging up anything from appalling arrogant attitudes and lack of empathy from Dr’s to problems with receptionist’s, has been very effective. CQC Audit Drs surgeries once a year on average. If problems are flagged up by patients on the CQC website anonymously, it triggers a response from CQC. It still doesn’t find you the nice Dr, but it pulls the bad ones into line ASAP. Try it and see, it works.
I have no doctor. Not anymore. Not since the plandemic. The one I had I thought was pretty great until I saw her deal with covid. I was so discusted. Not even worth talking about.😢
Same here.
...a fifth question to ask your doctor:
"can you explain absolute risk reduction versus relative risk reduction?"
"Is giving a baby 4 of the lockdown special pokes before 1 year without benefit/risk ratio ETHICAL?" That is what I asked and he just looked guilty did not answer.
Relative risk reduction from statins: 38%, actual risk reduction 0.8%

A sixth question:
'How much are they paying you, Bennett'?
Yeah, right now my GP is a prescription robot. But I'm highly educated on the topic. I can see how he could harm people who aren't fully educated, ie - >99% of people. When I go to him, sometimes my asthma flares up, I already know what I need; fluticasone inhaler 220 mcg, three puffs per week. He'll prescribe two puffs every day, but I know I don't need that, and I discontinue the medicine as soon as I can. He'll also offer me blood pressure pills for my white-coat syndrome, (my BP at home is 110/70) which I decline to take.
Same I pretty much tell mine what I need how much I need and he does it he did ask if I'd be willing to have surgery for my thoracic outlet syndrome and I said no I would continue to exercise and would my insurance cover any kind of Massage. He looked at me like I was nuts wrote something down and canceled my nerve induction test

I like my Dr because she respects my right to be in control of my health. She accepts that I don't want any vaxes, statins or routine tests except blood work and doesn't push them. After being carnivore for a year I got myself off of my BP meds and she was supportive.

In the last few years I’ve found the NPs and PAs to be more caring and more knowledgeable than the primary care physicians.
Most of them are painfully arrogant and condescending. I'm a problem solver and could never rush people through a 2 to10 minute appointment which is the norm. If I was in the system I would actually encourage a longer appointment as there is a one question rule per appointment at most clinics in my town. Most consider 10 minutes to be a very long conversation.
Sometimes, I think I'm seeing a laptop not a doctor. Some of them spend all their time on their computer. All your information goes into the computer, and it seems the diagnosis and treatment come from that laptop as well. It's like what's the point why not just do an internet search yourself?
Feel like now you might just as well go on the internet yourself and do the diagnosis yourself
That’s what I’ve been doing since the internet started. Didn’t need to go to a doctor since, for the most part.
If a doctor doesn't have time to answer these four simple questions, unless it's urgent or you live in an underserved area, find a different doctor!
I have a very good dr. She looks me in the eyes and not on her computer, but she knows me and knows I refuse most medications. Even when she prescribes antibiotics I give her the 3rd degree on whether it’s necessary or is my body capable of fighting this germ off by itself. One thing she said confused me. She said she had to write a script for something. I can’t remember what it was for but she said she knew I wouldn’t take it anyway but she said if she didn’t write it she could get in trouble for not doing her job.
I find it interesting that your Dr felt she had to write a prescription. Now I wonder if that’s the reason some doctors have been angry with me and one said she thought I had a history of non-compliance because I wouldn’t take particular meds. Hmmm… 🤔 Thanks for your comment!
I had one like that, but she retired 3 years ago. She was my doc for 25 years. I haven't been to the doctor since - actually, it's impossible to find one - it's all PA'S and Nurse Practitioners.
The doctors, especially if they are part of a group or accept insurance, are tracked on their prescribing history, and can get censored if not enough income going to Big Pharma.
The state of Texas tried repeatedly to take away the license of Dr Burzynski, who compounds his own medicines individually for his patients to heal neuroblastoma.

@@HopefulEmpath lol. Yep I have been labeled non compliant too by other drs. I remember going to an ENT ( ear, nose, throat) dr because I had an enlarged parathyroid gland that was discovered after I had a car accident when they did a scan of my neck. Long story short the specialist wanted me to have some sort of mri with contrast. I refused, not only because I didn’t want the contrast, I just didn’t feel comfortable having the same guy who removes my ear wax doing surgery on me . Non compliant was written across my chart. He could see where it was from my hospital records. Long story short. I found a surgeon that I had confidence in. Told him no mri with contrast and he said he wasn’t even going to suggest it anyway explaining the surgery is the same only my incision would be in a different area. I had the surgery. All is well. Not even a scar because he made the incision in the fold my neck. I guess the moral of my story is find a doctor who listens and is willing to give you explanations.

I mean, the whole appointment took 12 minutes and I cannot see him for a month when booking online. I am sick of it.
Thank you Dr. Sunil Dhand for being honest and informative over the past years. During the last pandemic, I asked my fam. doctor whether I should take the media suggested vaccine ( but had concerns about side effects, and whether the vaccine should be rather provided on an individual medical consideration). My doctor (on the phone) was at least honest: “Oh, please don’t ask me that question, you are right, but I signed a letter of agreement with our health authorities, not to discourage any patient from the vaccine...or they suspend my license.”, the doctor said.
Wow, thanks for sharing this story
A sad state of our medical establishment. To overcome some of the commented disconnect with the doctor, it pays off to know your doctor or their friends outside of their medical business. It appears then that they have that personal bond with you, looking in your eyes instead on the screen, answering more personal to your questions.
Very difficult to find a doctor like you. I would rather be my own doctor.

I'm 68. Only once in my life did I have a truly caring doctor (in suburban Detroit). He was from Sri Lanka, so maybe there is also a cultural aspect to this issue. I don't know.
From the first day lesson of medical school they learn, a patient cured is a customer lost.🤔
I haven't had a doctor for almost a year. I had to drop the one I had. It was my first visit with him. He spent a total of 5 minutes with me, didn't look over my patient history, and cut me off when I asked him a question. (I am a former nurse, now in my 70's). I was so appalled by his behavior!!! The reason I went to him was because my former doctor left town and didn't even let me know. What is happening with these doctors????????? Just awful! I have lost respect for these medical people...sorry, I can no longer call them medical "professionals".

Me and two of my sisters have been nurses since 93 and 94. One has her masters. My cousin’s wife left teaching and went into nursing. One of my sisters and I tried to help her study and learn the information they are teaching. It’s not the same anymore. There wasn’t anything in skills, disease, treatments etc. it was all about scenarios of dealing with communicating, management, and stuff like that. I left 10 years ago but I was precepting students and wasn’t sure what they were being taught because when it came to skills, they went from only giving meds to one patient with the teacher over them to me seeing if they could manage a whole team. I knew we were doomed then.
I drive 500 miles to see my doctor since I moved to another state. She's that good. When my wife was very sick and her doctors weren't helping, I took her to my doctor. My wife will tell you that doctor saved her life.

I just found a new doctor and he literally spent about 30 minutes with me! He literally even examined me and listened with a stethoscope and then gave medical advice. I am beyond shocked and I think I’m in love. And to top it off he didn’t recommend statins.
Dr Dhand, you are a model of Stoicism. Thanks for your poise and restraint. 😘
I have a Naturopathic doctor for the rare occasion that I need help dealing with something, which is rare. We also have a Quick Care affiliated with the teaching hospital in my city that is better than any doctors office, in case of emergency. That’s it.
I selected my doctor when he was a hospitalist and I was in the hospital for surgery (orthopedic). Talking with me, I felt he really CARED about his patients! How valuable that is! He far surpassed almost all of my previous doctors. I wish my mother could have had a similar caring physician but the choice was limited by insurance.
The only doctor that actually helped me was a Chiropractor. I avoid Medical Doctors if at all possible.
When I moved to another state I had to find a new PCP. I called many and my one and only question was: "Do you accept new patients?". Many said NO! I was lucky to get someone, anyone... I wish I had a large pool of doctors to pick from based on their philosophy and work ethic. I am stuck with a doctor who lost some patients, for whatever reason. Time will tell how good is he. My gut feeling says I will be disappointed. We no longer have the luxury of picking who we might like. We are stuck with those whose patients ran from them...

Throughout 50 years, ive never come across a half decent dr.
Only problem I have to pay them even if I'm not happy with the service, if I walk out without any diagnosis, etc. I want to be able to screen them for free, like a free consultation. This is why I will not go to a doctor that has remained in the system. The only ones left are corrupt box checkers.

Usually the algorithm tends to delete my comments so i will apply reverse psychology here.
Most GPs in Australia are wonderful individuals that dont tend to behave like pharma and goverment shill reporters that sit down in fron of a PC never looking at your face when you talk. They are definitely not negligent and useless pill promoters.
Now make sure you understand the reverse psychology comments here
I'm .77 When I was growing up we had a family doctor. He knew us all inside out and regularly came to the house. After he died everything went pear shaped and my doctors were never the same again. That breed back in the 40's 50's and 60's were very rare indeed.
So true, and so sad. There’s nothing like a real “family doctor “.😢
This video is actually "How to determine if your CURRENT GP is a good doctor".
This has nothing to do with FINDING a good doctor, which is impossible (for the average person) in the USA system.
Of course someone that is paying out of pocket, for a private doctor, in a private practice, can interview many doctors and choose the best of the best.
I had a doctor laugh at me for questioning the diagnosis. Like doctors never make mistakes ye 🙄🙄🙄 I don't trust hospital doctors 100 %
Would you please move to Australia then? 🎉
I have a Direct Care physician, she's the best - a real person who's OK with me wanting to investigate a natural route or seek jab alternatives. Definitely not a robot.
The exam table 😂 the last time I used an exam table was to have my last baby, 45 yrs ago! I've never been asked by any Dr since then to be examined! They just google symptoms and get the latest drugs on tap.
My best appointment with my OK GP was the one before he retired. Screen remained blanc, he sat and looked at me and listened. Didn't prescribe pills but lifestyle changes. I left feeling cared for.
What people need most are resources to good doctors. There are so many doctors out there and most of them are the type that do not look at you or talk to you or ask you questions. They just have a relationship with the computer. Finding a good one is literally like looking for a needle in a haystack. It's a horrible situation.
Will never find another

There is a one symptom to complain about rule here which makes it impossible to get a diagnosis of a syndrome with multiple symptoms. I had multiple injuries from a fall and the doctor would only report one at the time so I just gave up going and waited a very long time to recover.

Recently had my yearly Medicare exam. What a farce! I was asked if I’d had any falls recently to which I responded yes. She asked if I was having any lingering problems from them. Didn’t ask what happened, just told me to take meclazine (antivert) if I was feeling unstable. She asked if I was safe at home. She checked my ears and heart and that was it. I told her I wanted to go off a couple medications. She said she didn’t think I should, but I insisted, so she grudgingly agreed to a six month trial.
I hear you ... and agree with you, doctor. Realistically speaking, I would need to meet with 100+ doctors to find that needle in a haystack. I'd rather eat right, exercise, avoid all vices and major risks, get annual lab work directly from the labs, research any conditions myself, and only use the medical system (and insurance) in a dire emergency.
In years past we had doctors who went into medicine because they truly were committed to their patients health and well being. Now this " new breed" of doctors are care-LESS, rude, narcissistic and are sadly driven by money. I live in NE Texas and all of our really good doctors have either died because they were very old or they have left the practitioner side of medicine all together and gone into the Administrative side. What has been brought in to replace them are horrible! What's graduating from medical school today should terrify us all! I have zero use for them.
The doctors now days wouldn’t answer any of those questions. You would get yelled at for asking . A doctor was going to give me shot of something and I just ask what it was and got yelled at like I was questioning his ability or intelligence. So no to asking doctors questions,
I believe in a doctor having a textbook / experience. I'm finding too many doctors out there that rely on textbook medicine. I've been on a low dose Alprazolam for about 40 years and I just found a doctor that wants me off of it it will not prescribe it. I'm in big trouble.
Question 5.) Have you ever performed in a TikTok dance video?
Question 6: Have you ever served time in a Turkish jail?
I read an article about a student who decided after med school that her calling was not medicine and did not pursue a career in medicone. She said that she felt that about 50% of her class really didn't want to be doctors but after the four year investment didn't have the courage to back out. Do you feel that most doctors really would rather do something else? In the 70s-80s insurance company wrote generous disability plans for doctors because they thought that doctors would be highly motivated to continue work as doctors. What they found out is that many would rather take the disability benefits and change professions, which was a huge shock to the industry. I've found that many doctors don't care, and a few are sociopaths or psychopaths who want to harm their patients.
I need to talk to my old doctor about coming out of retirement...great GP.
One of the PN's from his old practice just left there. She opened her own wellness clinic. No insurance accepted and no appts. needed! Her parking lot is always full..😊
I found that doctor once. Unfortunately, he was in an urgent care facility. I was the only patient at the time and we had an interesting conversation about pharmaceutical studies.
I am in my 70's and has had surgery for cervical spondolysis and CABG.
During my most resent medical examination, my new GP ( I ditched the previous doctor) she told me "your iron levels were slightly elevated but I will not worry about it".
She then informed that my cholesterol levels were also slightly on the high side. I told her " I will not worry about it". She smiled and said "I respect your informed decision".
She will henceforth be my GP permanently.
Good to hear
She sounds a caring Doctor
I can’t seem to bring myself to make an appointment to my doctor anymore, even if I know I need to see one…..
Same here...I trust that my.body will heal me, love and blessings❤
I’ve only found one doctor like you and I met him on an airplane. He was sceptical, angry about the system and unjabbed. I’d have to drive 3 hours to see him and that would be worth it.
I doubt most doctors would answer the questions, or even give you the time to ask them. In which case you should turn around and walk away.
Wish I can find a Veterinarian that has the approach you have! Medicate, medicate, medicate!😡
I go to a homeopath now.
I would also recommend thinking about alternative medical styles. I grew up with a family doctor who was a D.O. (Osteopathic). When I moved to my current community, about 6 years ago, I reviewed the list of local physicians in this small town, and chose the one available D.O. to try. I have been seeing him, since, and have been very happy with that choice. He is caring, listens to me, and responsive about making referrals or prescribing tests, if I need them. Good luck, everyone!
All you have to ask is if they still believe the covid vaccines are safe and effective and advised.
Here's a couple more --a doctor who makes sure to explain things in a way you understand, a doctor who ultimately lets you make your own decisions, even though it might not be the choice they would make.
Who sees a doctor today? PAs. Renember the family doc? Now vaccine vendors aka pediatricians.
They are medical criminals ..p,poisoning little babies
