Can give themselves checkups if they feel sick, but they still have to go to another doctor for annual checkups. They can even prescribe themselves medication, although it is frowned apawn.
9:35 Was the case for my grandpa. My grandpa had cancer and thought he was healing well so he was happy and energetic and then my grandma got the news that the cancer basically spread into the whole body and he most likely would have only 2 more weeks for living. So my grandma literally told the doctor: "Don't tell him that or he'll jump from the balcony and if that happens I'll have to take the responsibility for that!" My grandpa was a very proud and strong person, so I could totally see that happening for him. I'm glad they didn't tell him, he was happy and hoping till the end.
You mention about the tremendous amount of administrative work required of being a doctor. I am a teacher and I can also state about this issue. I went into my field to help kids, but I feel like all I do is test them and analyze data. It was nice to know other professions struggle with this as well.
Doctors are literally people like anyone else. I treat my doctor as I would any other human. The world looks to them like they are supreme beings. You are a fellow human being and will be treated with that kind of respect and courtesy.
I trained to be a nurse but I found each year I was getting more paperwork and less hands on patient care. I felt I was unable to provide the care my patients deserved which sent me to a VERY dark place I never want to go to again so I left nursing and now work doing home care which I absolutely love ❤️
The last time I went to the doctor the nurse did 90% of it. The doctor came in, sat at the computer, asked a couple questions, told me to lose weight, then left. She barely looked at me.
I waited 8 months (hi, Canada here) to have my first neuro consult for my chronic migraines. He did his exam, sat back in his chair and told me to drink a strong cup of coffee and get some exercise. When I got in the car I started to cry when I was telling my husband. 8 months I waited....for that.
@@MiddleEarthGirl75 It kind of sucks because I feel like it may have to do with burnout or as the saying goes "when you hear hoof steps, think horses not zebras" meaning when a patient presents with some certain symptoms, don't get anchored on this one rare diagnosis and rule out the common illnesses first. I definitely don't agree with what your doctor did, because I had a gastroenterologist (stomach doctor) tell me that my problem of three years would be fixed if I didn't take so many supplements (FYI I had only taken them for 2 months when I had went to see him) and his dismissive behavior had me looking for another GI doctor IMMEDIATELY. So I agree, some doctors need to be more clear with their thought process, or otherwise I am going to think they don't care. Or that they're discriminating because of my cruddy insurance or my age or whatever.

people only say overpaid argument because of the large healthcare costs in america. but, doctor salaries don't make up the majority of that lol. I think it's around 15 percent, with half of that being actual salary, the other half malpractice insurance etc. Doctors are definetly not overpaid, they're paid like they should be.
Most of athletes aren't paid very much, just the top ones. We think this way because these are the ones we see the most, but most of football players are in city teams receiving minimal wage.
I was briefly a secretary in a doctors office. The doctor not only had Dr. handwriting, but he had arthritis in his thumbs. His handwriting was unspeakable. I tried to do ICD9 coding for him. I was trying to figure out on a patient’s notes where it said “patient is still crying.” I finally gave up and asked the more experienced office worker what the rest of it said. It actually said “patient is still congested.”
My primary care physician is always running late but it’s cool because he takes his time to really ask the in depth questions. He makes it feel like an authentic conversation not just reading off the monitor. I’ve been seeing him for years so he also asks how school is going and how my family is. It’s kind. It’s like seeing an old friend. I don’t mind the wait.
Tell me where you are I’m moving right away 🤣🤣🤣. Just kidding but hold on to that one because I’ve had my pcp for about 14 years but he’s gone down hill as far as care. I have to beg for meds that my insurance will cover or bloodwork or any test for that matter..

"Did they ask the patient, if they can afford the medicine?" Me as a German being confused for a second.... "Oooooh, yeah, american health care system... "
@PaulR Germany has better Healthcare system overall than Sweden according to oecd panorama. Germany and Turkey are at the top of most indicators. Except for the cost, of course, no one challenge the USA on that...
@PaulR I suspect that it is the case for lot of them (i am French, and that is relatable). Problem is likely that a governmental system is in competition with lot of other important things for limited budget, so it is easy to cut just a little the budget each year (or not increase for inflation), and finally the healthcare system becomes more and more in tension...
Patient to Doctor: Did you just Google that? Doctor: Yes Patient: I could do that. Doctor: Yes but I have years at University and in practise to know which is worth reading and which is a load of rubbish.
Same, I couldn’t understand the second sentence. I was like “WTF is this” then after pausing the video and studying it for a few minutes I finally understood what it was meant to say.
I always see advertisements for “online doctors” that will diagnose you at home. Could maybe for a video one day you investigate these “online doctors”? Are they legit and offer the proper advice? Or are they just all scams? Although I can take a pretty good guess as to what the answer might be 🙃
Lauren Duke some are actually real! Check your insurance company and see if they have any programs for it. They are only useful for like the overnight flu or something minor. I used one before!
My company's insurance includes a service like this. They'll only treat minor things and obvs don't prescribe anything controlled. I've only used it a couple of times but they've been helpful when I have.
Some of them are real check with your insurance company to see if they cover it and those doctors only do minor things and can’t prescribe anything that is controlled such as opioids
As a phlebotomist, the amount of time I waste with illegible Dr's handwriting is absolutely mind blowing, it can turn a ten minute procedure into a 20 minute phone call as we all try to work out what on earth the Dr was requesting. The other one is when Dr's just make up their own acronyms for things. I once had a Dr write "RPM" on the form. I called the lab and they were like "revs per minute?" Anyway, lab ended up having to contact the dr, it was just a standard kidney test. Some of the funniest handwriting one was when my boss said in all seriousness to look at it upside down because sometimes then you could work it out. We did work that one out, it was blood group. Something else we do is ask the patient, like if I think I know what something is I will say "does it make sense for your Dr to be testing you for this?" This once backfired very, very badly (but also hilariously) when I asked a patient "does it make sense for your Dr to be testing you for coeliac disease?" And the patients earnestly talked about how the local health department was poisoning his water to make him fart a lot and make him smell bad and discredit him so that the judge wouldn't believe him when he went to court to accuse his psychiatrists of following him. The poor man was obviously experiencing psychosis. However, since he appeared to be having symptoms of farting, I ascertained that he was probably being tested for coeliacs disease and went ahead with the blood test while he continued to talk about the health department. Sweet guy, but good lord that was one day where keeping a straight face was difficult.
I would’ve laughed if you looked up “what do doctors look like” and the first image that popped up was you “hey, that is what a doctor looks like! I’m a doctor!” 😂❤️
I love that you highlight text when you read it. Idk if you just did that for the video or if that's a habit of yours, but I do that all the time because my eyes love to jump around. I have ADHD also and it's a good way to keep me engaged with the text. 😂 It felt so relatable!
Hi Dr. Mike, big fan of you! One question: Did you ever consider making a second channel for med and nursing students, where you talk about medical topics? I would love such a channel!
Patient: Hello Doctor Mike Doctor Mike: PeEwHoOp Patient: I think I have a cold. What should I do ? Doctor Mike: Chest Compressions Patient: But I... Doctor Mike: Chest Compressions Patient: Yeah Okay. Imma head out Doctor Mike: Stay Happy, and Healthy !!
Hello! I’m a current nursing student and we are studying antibiotic resistance in my microbiology class. Please talk about antibiotic resistance and why it is becoming an epidemic!!
OMG YES!! My mother always buys antibiotics every time she gets sick. I'm sick and tired of explaining to her why it is bad, maybe it's because it's just me. (Then again I won't be able to show her Mike's video if he ever does a vid on the subject, because she doesn't speak English, but probably other people need to hear it as well).
"You didn't enter if the baby was a smoker." I used to be a medical scribe, and am currently a medical student, and that really hit home. XD I always HATED when stuff like that came up in my documentation.
One of the kindest things a Dr ever did for me was after deciding my new anti depressants he instantly got on GoodRx and found/printed a coupon for me (he knew I didnt have insurence). Not only did it save me a ton of money but also major stress of needing to think about GoodRx (if it even came to mind), finding what I needed in a dosage, ect. I was able to leave knowing my pills would be $5 and feeling like going to the store pharmacy wasnt going to be the biggest mountain in the world.
The only doctor I trust anymore is my OB. My PCP legit told me I had allergies, as I’m sitting there begging him to listen to me because I knew something was wrong, and pushed me out the door. Three days later I went to the ER because I felt like I couldn’t breath. I had pneumonia, strep, a rash down my throat, and tonsil stones. Worst experience of my life trying to get better. But such a relieving feeling knowing I wasn’t making up my symptoms in my own head.
Same here!!!!! I 99 percent of the time diagnose myself...I discovered i had mono on my own...and later begged doc to check my antibodies to verfiy..today I even asked him to prescribe me with a specific med ... I am my own doctor! I figure out my medical problems and how to care for it ...sad!
As a social worker working in nursing homes, I had a discussion with family about DNRs too. Tried to help them understand that was what desired, and it was there signed and everything....I was usually the one who made the bracelets that said it too....and you get it of course, when the time comes to sign the papers, the family is trying to convince them not to sign papers. But, it's a personal choice of the person, as long as they are of sound mind and body when they make that choice. It sucks for the family most of the time. And you feel for them. But it is what the patient/ resident wanted.
I like being early cuz then I can take my sweet time. For instance go to the bathroom if I need, get a drink, chat with my friends on my phone, if they are running a little late, watch a Doctor Mike video; you know just chill.😋
So true. I changed doctors because my doctor first told me to "keep doing what you're doing" when I went in with a debilitating migraine. And then prescribed a medicine that cost $200 for 10 pills! My next doctor actually listened and helped me and I stayed with them for years.
@@brittanywoodman6559 I believe the term for yellowing of the eyes and skin is 'jaundice'. It's actually something you should get checked out, tbh, jaundice doesn't just show up to the party cuz it feels like it.
@@nikki11111 Jaundice is the name of a symptom more than anything else. Jaundice happens because of other things. Like how someone diagnosed with a concussion might have a symptom of lethargy (tiredness/sluggishness). Diagnosis is comprised of symptoms. Because jaundice is a symptom, it could fall under more than one diagnosis. To be sure what's actually causing the jaundice, it's best to see a doctor as soon as you can (some conditions that cause jaundice are life-threatening, so you shouldn't take a symptom like that lightly).
If anything, Baymax is more of a nurse, which *could* be automated eventually, but things like diagnosing and prescribing need a human touch, because every body is different.

The “why don’t doctors get sick” is relatable. I’m a microbiology and immunology major, so I study germs and how the body reacts. I told this to someone once, and their response was “wow, you must never get sick!” Wow I should have studied finance 😓
They usually leave it to the pharmacy to figure out. I've had doctors try to quote patients, idk how they do it but they have been wrong on the price every time. To be fair, doctors aren't really able to tell you the price. You only know if you either 1) let the pharmacy bill the insurance and see what comes back or 2) call the insurance and ask. OH! Or c) check goodrx to get a ballpark worst case scenario price. (good if your insurance sucks or you have no insurance)
I have. I have a chronic illness and have been with my doctor for a few years. One time, I wasn't working, didn't have insurance, my doctor knew I was paying cash so he asked if I was going to be able to afford my medications. I said maybe. He went and found any samples he had of the meds I was prescribed so I didn't have to pay for those.
I don't like doctors that just throw pills at you, they don't even mention lifestyle changes, dietary changes, etc. that could solve the problem they just start chucking prescriptions at you that are like bandaids, addressing the symptoms but not the cause.
Hi Doctor Mike. What is crazy is this: The patient fills out 10 pages of forms in the waiting room with all the "checkboxes." Then, the patient is admitted to a room and the nurse or medical assistant gets in front of a computer and asks all the same "checkbox" questions -- typing them into the computer. Then, the doctor comes in, checks the computer and half the time has to ask again. It puts so much admin on the medical staff. Why don't the patients just fill out the forms on a tablet? The tablet should synchronize with the computer system. When the doctor views the chart, the software should be smart enough to highlight the key risk factors and family history so he/she can easily get up to speed upon entering the room and spend more of the allotted time in conversation with the patient about the issue at hand. Why do you think we don't have better medical chart software? Are HIPPA laws preventing digital improvements to hospital processes?
EHR systems just are not "smart" enough to flag what may seem obvious to us. Some programs do for vitals, which are an easy measurement that has a normal or abnormal range. A previous doctor I've worked for did use online intake forms, but we humans still had to input the information ourselves because it was an outside tool that didn't talk to the health record. It's also very expensive to design these programs. Still not a good enough reason, and why it's long overdue! Maybe billionaires should stop space racing and help out the public in a meaningful way.
@@danicallefornia The billionaires don't give a flying fudge about helping the public. All those slackjawed slime goblins care about is lining their own pockets.
Doctor mike I really love what you are doing here on UA-cam. I had spent a year incredibly depressed and unhealthy. I went to see my doctor multiple times and she put me on 17 different medications at 15 years old. Well I went to the emergency room because i had been passing out. They referred me to a cardiologist because I kept passing out. All the color drained from my face, lips turned blue, and started sweating I would wake up in a panic. The cardiologist is the only doctor who I found who actually helped me. She helped me fix my diet. And didn't give me a single pill. I ended up having neurocardiogenic vasovagle syncope. She gave me a list of foods to limit, fix my water intake, stress mechanisms, and no caffeine. I thank that cardiologist everyday. The only thing I think I would change about the medical field is nit jumping straight to medication. I love how you look at your field. And how u practice yourself. Keep up the good work doctor because you are saving lives with each day and I'm sure each video.
@@RyanSmith-uw2ni No, it's not. Please actually research what you're talking about and trying to spread misinformation on. And reading facebook or online news articles is not research. Also, the two don't even act the same besides being a stimulant. If they were the same thing, then we would prescribe people with ADHD meth, but we don't. And yes, Meth is actually a medication that can be prescribed to you and no, not the crystal kind.
"Think of if the patient can even afford the medicine" God im so glad I dont live in America. The fact that there's a possibility of not even being able to afford the healthcare you need is terrible.
It IS terrible. It costs THOUSANDS of dollars to give birth, get an appendectomy, emergency surgery after a traumatic accident. You better hope you don't have to be admitted for an extended period of time. Also, if you don't pay, people come after you even though they know you're broke. Be very thankful to not have American healthcare bills!
Yea sadly a single medical emergency can cause someone to lose their entire life savings if your insurance company doesn't pay for something or if the amount they cover isn't enough as for example my grandma was sent to the hospital by ambulance and was there overnight and the bill was 248k just for the ambulance, staying overnight and the tests they ran and keep in mind 250k is enough to buy a house or if you live somewhere more expensive its still enough to pay half so if it weren't for her having amazing insurance and it covering most of the cost that right there would have been more than her entire life savings and another thing is her prescriptions costed over 2k per year so overall the entire health system in the US is just fucked
Med Lists; Med Name: .... Dosing: .... Select: Taking, Taking As Needed, Not Taking So are you *taking* the PRN or only *taking as needed* ? Is there even a right answer? Also, selecting "Not Taking" doesn't remove it from the list.. so things like antibiotics tend to hang around indefinitely.
I’ve had a doc straight up lie to me before. They said they (meaning their specialty-internal medicine) couldn’t prescribe Ritalin (and other controlled substance ADD meds) to adults and I had to go to a psych (despite the fact I’d been on the medication for years). My mom is an MD (family practice) and told me that was complete BS and helped me find a different doc (same specialty). Second doc had absolutely no issue or reservations prescribing it.
On the flip side of this, I was working under a psychiatric doctor who refused to prescribe non-psych drugs. A patient of hers asked to have a cardio med prescription & she told him she doesn’t do that, he needs to go see his cardiologist for that. After he left, I asked her why. She said: “I am a psychiatrist. All the patients I see are for psychiatric issues, and that’s how it’s been for the last 20 years. To think that I still know the ins & outs of other medications & prescribe them accurately would be arrogant. If I prescribe him his cardio med, he will never go to his cardiologist again because he knows he can just get them from me. He already knows he has to come see me weekly. But I can’t assess him for his non-psych issues as well as a specialist can, I haven’t done things like that in decades. I am not a GP. So I don’t prescribe patients non-psychiatric meds and I don’t treat non-psychiatric issues.” msguineapigsrus, perhaps that IM specialist had a similar mindset.
sasook except internal medicine is a general practitioner. They serve as primary care physicians. They aren’t a specialist like a cardiologist. It makes absolute sense for a psychiatrist not to prescribe heart meds.
I once teased a Dr about his handwriting. He took the Rx back from me and rewrote it super neat.

What I want to know is do doctors go to other doctors for minor things like checkups or just do it themselves?
That's my question too...😲
Can give themselves checkups if they feel sick, but they still have to go to another doctor for annual checkups. They can even prescribe themselves medication, although it is frowned apawn.
Usually, colleagues check out the doctors
@@SAnika-sc8xl usually done by other doctors, but ya know, it's more like 2 doctors speaking doctory stuff rather than an actual checkup
If it's minor I take care of it myself, if I think I might need medication or some kind of test I go to my GP. 🤷
9:35 Was the case for my grandpa. My grandpa had cancer and thought he was healing well so he was happy and energetic and then my grandma got the news that the cancer basically spread into the whole body and he most likely would have only 2 more weeks for living. So my grandma literally told the doctor: "Don't tell him that or he'll jump from the balcony and if that happens I'll have to take the responsibility for that!" My grandpa was a very proud and strong person, so I could totally see that happening for him. I'm glad they didn't tell him, he was happy and hoping till the end.

@@TheMissSerena underrated comment!!
I trained to be a nurse but I found each year I was getting more paperwork and less hands on patient care. I felt I was unable to provide the care my patients deserved which sent me to a VERY dark place I never want to go to again so I left nursing and now work doing home care which I absolutely love ❤️
The last time I went to the doctor the nurse did 90% of it. The doctor came in, sat at the computer, asked a couple questions, told me to lose weight, then left. She barely looked at me.
I waited 8 months (hi, Canada here) to have my first neuro consult for my chronic migraines. He did his exam, sat back in his chair and told me to drink a strong cup of coffee and get some exercise.
When I got in the car I started to cry when I was telling my husband. 8 months I waited....for that.
@@MiddleEarthGirl75 might as well just teach yourself medicine. Download some medical textbook pdfs and start reading.
@@MiddleEarthGirl75 It kind of sucks because I feel like it may have to do with burnout or as the saying goes "when you hear hoof steps, think horses not zebras" meaning when a patient presents with some certain symptoms, don't get anchored on this one rare diagnosis and rule out the common illnesses first. I definitely don't agree with what your doctor did, because I had a gastroenterologist (stomach doctor) tell me that my problem of three years would be fixed if I didn't take so many supplements (FYI I had only taken them for 2 months when I had went to see him) and his dismissive behavior had me looking for another GI doctor IMMEDIATELY. So I agree, some doctors need to be more clear with their thought process, or otherwise I am going to think they don't care. Or that they're discriminating because of my cruddy insurance or my age or whatever.

I was briefly a secretary in a doctors office. The doctor not only had Dr. handwriting, but he had arthritis in his thumbs. His handwriting was unspeakable. I tried to do ICD9 coding for him. I was trying to figure out on a patient’s notes where it said “patient is still crying.” I finally gave up and asked the more experienced office worker what the rest of it said. It actually said “patient is still congested.”

@PaulR I suspect that it is the case for lot of them (i am French, and that is relatable). Problem is likely that a governmental system is in competition with lot of other important things for limited budget, so it is easy to cut just a little the budget each year (or not increase for inflation), and finally the healthcare system becomes more and more in tension...

Lauren Duke some are actually real! Check your insurance company and see if they have any programs for it. They are only useful for like the overnight flu or something minor. I used one before!

My company's insurance includes a service like this. They'll only treat minor things and obvs don't prescribe anything controlled. I've only used it a couple of times but they've been helpful when I have.
Some of them are real check with your insurance company to see if they cover it and those doctors only do minor things and can’t prescribe anything that is controlled such as opioids

As a phlebotomist, the amount of time I waste with illegible Dr's handwriting is absolutely mind blowing, it can turn a ten minute procedure into a 20 minute phone call as we all try to work out what on earth the Dr was requesting. The other one is when Dr's just make up their own acronyms for things. I once had a Dr write "RPM" on the form. I called the lab and they were like "revs per minute?" Anyway, lab ended up having to contact the dr, it was just a standard kidney test. Some of the funniest handwriting one was when my boss said in all seriousness to look at it upside down because sometimes then you could work it out. We did work that one out, it was blood group.
Something else we do is ask the patient, like if I think I know what something is I will say "does it make sense for your Dr to be testing you for this?" This once backfired very, very badly (but also hilariously) when I asked a patient "does it make sense for your Dr to be testing you for coeliac disease?" And the patients earnestly talked about how the local health department was poisoning his water to make him fart a lot and make him smell bad and discredit him so that the judge wouldn't believe him when he went to court to accuse his psychiatrists of following him. The poor man was obviously experiencing psychosis. However, since he appeared to be having symptoms of farting, I ascertained that he was probably being tested for coeliacs disease and went ahead with the blood test while he continued to talk about the health department. Sweet guy, but good lord that was one day where keeping a straight face was difficult.

HauntedShadowsLegacy I thought yellow eyes meant dehydration.
@@nikki11111 Jaundice is the name of a symptom more than anything else. Jaundice happens because of other things. Like how someone diagnosed with a concussion might have a symptom of lethargy (tiredness/sluggishness). Diagnosis is comprised of symptoms.
Because jaundice is a symptom, it could fall under more than one diagnosis. To be sure what's actually causing the jaundice, it's best to see a doctor as soon as you can (some conditions that cause jaundice are life-threatening, so you shouldn't take a symptom like that lightly).

I was never asked if I had money for the medicine, ever.

They usually leave it to the pharmacy to figure out. I've had doctors try to quote patients, idk how they do it but they have been wrong on the price every time. To be fair, doctors aren't really able to tell you the price. You only know if you either 1) let the pharmacy bill the insurance and see what comes back or 2) call the insurance and ask. OH! Or c) check goodrx to get a ballpark worst case scenario price. (good if your insurance sucks or you have no insurance)
I have. I have a chronic illness and have been with my doctor for a few years. One time, I wasn't working, didn't have insurance, my doctor knew I was paying cash so he asked if I was going to be able to afford my medications. I said maybe. He went and found any samples he had of the meds I was prescribed so I didn't have to pay for those.
@Zora Moldovan ?
I don't like doctors that just throw pills at you, they don't even mention lifestyle changes, dietary changes, etc. that could solve the problem they just start chucking prescriptions at you that are like bandaids, addressing the symptoms but not the cause.
Hi Doctor Mike. What is crazy is this: The patient fills out 10 pages of forms in the waiting room with all the "checkboxes." Then, the patient is admitted to a room and the nurse or medical assistant gets in front of a computer and asks all the same "checkbox" questions -- typing them into the computer. Then, the doctor comes in, checks the computer and half the time has to ask again. It puts so much admin on the medical staff. Why don't the patients just fill out the forms on a tablet? The tablet should synchronize with the computer system. When the doctor views the chart, the software should be smart enough to highlight the key risk factors and family history so he/she can easily get up to speed upon entering the room and spend more of the allotted time in conversation with the patient about the issue at hand. Why do you think we don't have better medical chart software? Are HIPPA laws preventing digital improvements to hospital processes?
EHR systems just are not "smart" enough to flag what may seem obvious to us. Some programs do for vitals, which are an easy measurement that has a normal or abnormal range.
A previous doctor I've worked for did use online intake forms, but we humans still had to input the information ourselves because it was an outside tool that didn't talk to the health record. It's also very expensive to design these programs.
Still not a good enough reason, and why it's long overdue! Maybe billionaires should stop space racing and help out the public in a meaningful way.
I can see it being way more difficult to disinfect a tablet or computer after each use from paitients that u dont knows illness yet
@@danicallefornia The billionaires don't give a flying fudge about helping the public. All those slackjawed slime goblins care about is lining their own pockets.
Doctor mike I really love what you are doing here on UA-cam. I had spent a year incredibly depressed and unhealthy. I went to see my doctor multiple times and she put me on 17 different medications at 15 years old. Well I went to the emergency room because i had been passing out. They referred me to a cardiologist because I kept passing out. All the color drained from my face, lips turned blue, and started sweating I would wake up in a panic. The cardiologist is the only doctor who I found who actually helped me. She helped me fix my diet. And didn't give me a single pill. I ended up having neurocardiogenic vasovagle syncope. She gave me a list of foods to limit, fix my water intake, stress mechanisms, and no caffeine. I thank that cardiologist everyday. The only thing I think I would change about the medical field is nit jumping straight to medication. I love how you look at your field. And how u practice yourself. Keep up the good work doctor because you are saving lives with each day and I'm sure each video.
Me: Why does my stomach hurt?
Google: BRAIN CANCER
Me: Wait how does that even-
Google: IT'S BRAIN CANCER, TAKE IT OR LEAVE IT
Dr. Fish but mostly take it
Your stomach could hurt from Brain... issues
Can u pls speak about adhd and adderall especially in children
Adderall is meth. Look up methamphetamines. Google natural remedies.
Technically it isn’t methamphetamine but rather a 50:50 racemic mix of amphetamine.
@@darcystrutt5192 basically it's the same thing.
No it isn’t
@@RyanSmith-uw2ni No, it's not. Please actually research what you're talking about and trying to spread misinformation on. And reading facebook or online news articles is not research. Also, the two don't even act the same besides being a stimulant. If they were the same thing, then we would prescribe people with ADHD meth, but we don't. And yes, Meth is actually a medication that can be prescribed to you and no, not the crystal kind.
"Think of if the patient can even afford the medicine"
God im so glad I dont live in America. The fact that there's a possibility of not even being able to afford the healthcare you need is terrible.
It IS terrible. It costs THOUSANDS of dollars to give birth, get an appendectomy, emergency surgery after a traumatic accident. You better hope you don't have to be admitted for an extended period of time. Also, if you don't pay, people come after you even though they know you're broke. Be very thankful to not have American healthcare bills!
@@danajohns5009 god that sounds so bad. Im praying for americans during these times, and im not even religious. Please stay healthy
Dana Johns I’ve also read about people who have called an uber because it’s cheaper than an ambulance
@@caljones oh, I've done that. But it was Lyft.
Yea sadly a single medical emergency can cause someone to lose their entire life savings if your insurance company doesn't pay for something or if the amount they cover isn't enough as for example my grandma was sent to the hospital by ambulance and was there overnight and the bill was 248k just for the ambulance, staying overnight and the tests they ran and keep in mind 250k is enough to buy a house or if you live somewhere more expensive its still enough to pay half so if it weren't for her having amazing insurance and it covering most of the cost that right there would have been more than her entire life savings and another thing is her prescriptions costed over 2k per year so overall the entire health system in the US is just fucked
we were all waiting for the last computer bash
"1. does the patient smoke"
select no
2. "How often does the patient smoke?"
select never
3. "when did the patient start smoking"
select never
Think need better EMR software
That sounds very frustrating.
Med Lists;
Med Name: ....
Dosing: ....
Select: Taking, Taking As Needed, Not Taking
So are you *taking* the PRN or only *taking as needed* ? Is there even a right answer?
Also, selecting "Not Taking" doesn't remove it from the list.. so things like antibiotics tend to hang around indefinitely.
I’ve had a doc straight up lie to me before. They said they (meaning their specialty-internal medicine) couldn’t prescribe Ritalin (and other controlled substance ADD meds) to adults and I had to go to a psych (despite the fact I’d been on the medication for years). My mom is an MD (family practice) and told me that was complete BS and helped me find a different doc (same specialty). Second doc had absolutely no issue or reservations prescribing it.
May I ask what country you live in? 🇺🇸?
@@matthewmurdoch6932 I'm in the US, yes.
On the flip side of this, I was working under a psychiatric doctor who refused to prescribe non-psych drugs. A patient of hers asked to have a cardio med prescription & she told him she doesn’t do that, he needs to go see his cardiologist for that. After he left, I asked her why. She said:
“I am a psychiatrist. All the patients I see are for psychiatric issues, and that’s how it’s been for the last 20 years. To think that I still know the ins & outs of other medications & prescribe them accurately would be arrogant.
If I prescribe him his cardio med, he will never go to his cardiologist again because he knows he can just get them from me. He already knows he has to come see me weekly. But I can’t assess him for his non-psych issues as well as a specialist can, I haven’t done things like that in decades. I am not a GP. So I don’t prescribe patients non-psychiatric meds and I don’t treat non-psychiatric issues.”
msguineapigsrus, perhaps that IM specialist had a similar mindset.
sasook except internal medicine is a general practitioner. They serve as primary care physicians. They aren’t a specialist like a cardiologist. It makes absolute sense for a psychiatrist not to prescribe heart meds.
msguineapigsrus Wait, I was under the impression that family medicine doctors are general practitioners, not internists. Perhaps I’m mistaken.
