Doctor vs. Google | Doctors Are...Overrated

- Welcome to my NEW series Doctor vs. Google! I know we all love to run to google search whenever we have a medical question and sometimes that type of searching is great but it can easily get sidetracked based on the autocomplete or just getting weird search results.
I decided to transform the classic Autocomplete video format on its side and just react to my google searches as we cover a specific topic each week. This week that topic issssss... "Doctors", Yay =]
I hope you enjoy this new format and if you do please be sure to like and comment to let me know.

Person: I have a mild headache sometimes
Doctor: There's nothing wrong with you
Google: You probably have seven kinds of cancer
Why is this so true?
Resulting in death
Or my favorite, which has personally happened to me: I have a shooting pain in my right leg constantly
Doctor: you’re overweight
Me at 125lbs and 5’2 how ?
(I weigh more now and medically obese and the pain still happens at any size I’ve been. They don’t care)
@@_bewitchedbyyaz fr? Including specialists?
Yaz Valentin not a doctor but what exactly does the shooting pain feel like?
"Can your patient even afford this medicine?"
This man is an angel
The fact that this apparently needs to be a consideration is a travesty...
In my country most of the doctors and specialist asks this question, didn't know it was so rare over there.

Your handwriting is so bad I can't even read what you're typing. :)
because you write badly lol
What? I can’t read this
Me: **Sniffles**
Doctor: "You have a cold"
Google: "You have been dead for two days" 💀
Are you using correctly Google ? In my experience Google is 100% in health "diagnoses" and they say Go see a doctor and tive the aderesses of doctors
It's not even "you're dying" anymore, you've already been dead for two days. XD
Bruh greatest twist in history
Oh good things can only get better then.
You've been dead for two days but you still have a pulse and you move around, so it's death with complications, does your insurance cover this?

"This is my handwriting . It's not that bad right ?" Something like that lol
That's easy... They aren't teaching cursive in most public schools anymore.
@@jeanjaz not really, I was only taught cursive and it took me some time to get it. And as someone who had to take calligraphy, his might not be that bad, but not peak legible, it's not "open" enough

A data base is supposed to be user friendly. If it's an inhouse system, maybe there's a way to talk to the person who developed the system to see if there are tweaks that can be made.
I once teased a Dr about his handwriting. He took the Rx back from me and rewrote it super neat.
The pharmacy thought it was a forgery! 😂😂
Nolly Polly as a pharmacy tech, yes, we get used to certain drs scribble 😂😂 I’d definitely raise my eyebrows if his scripts looked neat!!
That's hilarious xD How long did it take to convince them it was real?
Im gonna be a ginecologist, haha
I was told by someone (doctor) I know that they have those writings because the patients cannot read and buy medicine recklessly.

You are a child.
Who told you that? I'm in the medical field and 18 or older is an adult. You sign all your own paperwork and don't need a guardian present. I see patients all day long literally do this every day.

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.

I see you, Dr Mike. That Audi R8 didn't pay for itself! Goals right here..
Im sure over 4 Million subs paid for that one...
ABC ABC his channel earns between $6,000 and $93,000 per MONTH just on UA-cam, making him around $1.2 million just from this. So yeah it could have.
Hell yeah they did. He makes way more on yt than by being a doctor. He gets a ton of views too which is not a given. Graham stephen „Only“ has a million followers and makes about 100k a month. Soooooo... do your research before saying I’m wrong
According to youtube 1 million views makes about 2 grand so no yt is pretty pointless
@@JDPyrotechnics 90k per month is just impossible there are a lot of big UA-camrs who have shared their revenue data and if I'm not mistaken none of them earns more than 20k/month
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.”
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.
If the Internet was your doctor: 'Could be nothing, could be cancer'.
Labas!
aint that the truth
I mean it’s true. It could be nothing but also could be cancer. That’s why you need doctors, they can diagnose. The internet can’t

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.

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.
Hit the nail on the head there. I went into nursing wanting to help people and as a student I loved spending time with patients however once I qualified its just tonnes of documentation and sadly I don't get to spend half as much time with my patients now. It's sad, as its why you go into it. Experienced burn out myself, nothing quite prepares you, for the heavy work load and above all, responsibility.

I'm a bit late on watching Dr. Mike but I'm really loving this channel. Watching his stuff makes me realize how similar animal medicine is to human medicine. I'm a veterinary technician (have been for many years) who is currently going through veterinary school and oh boy... Some of the things I've heard about my profession and some of the things I have googled are astounding. I can also relate so much to doctors running late. Please be patient... Luckily, I work in a small enough clinic we can reschedule things if needed (most people are very understanding) but I promise medical professionals (human and animal) are not deliberately running late to waste your time. Many unforeseen events happen in medicine and sometimes we have to prioritize once patient over another. It doesn't mean we don't care and doesn't mean we are trying to waste your time. Anyway, there are other aspects that are similar but I'll stop with the crazy rant. Thanks Dr. Mike! Go do good medicine and show the world what medicine is really and should always be about!

"Oooooh, yeah, american health care system... "
We still have to pay for non-prescription drugs though. I'm sure the situation has come up in Germany as well
Lol aaaa yes american stuff (btw I'm a canadian)
What is it like in Germany? Can you maybe tell our Government about it? 🙂
@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...
The insane amount of paperwork and administrative work putting a strain on people in the healthcare profession is really personal to me, because my dad was a physical therapist for most of his life and this affected both his work-life balance and his ability to do his job. He had early onset Parkinson’s, and while he was still able to work for a while because the mobility issues hadn’t gotten too bad, he was still having problems with writing his notes quickly and legibly. So, before he was even to a point where he should’ve quit and gone on disability, he was basically forced out because he couldn’t keep up with the paperwork.
Your knowledge 😮💨 the charisma, the friendliness, the professionalism, MY GOD 🌡
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. 🤷

With the being rushed by doctors because they're overworked; it took 5 different doctors over the course of almost 6 months to determine I did not just have a flu but in fact a horrible case of pneumonia that later turned into fairly severe asthma that I now have to take 2 separate medicines to keep under control. Most of them just took my temperature and said I was fine and had me out the door within 5 minutes. Funny enough a young doctor finally took the time to listen to what was happening and immediately brought out that puff air test to see what's up.
I love these videos, my mom is a recently retired gp in Lithuania, a post-soviet country and myself I now live in a third different country with a different healthcare system. Weirdest thing is that despite huge differences in systems and payscales, some of the issues are so universal it's insane
And omg at the question of doctors telling the truth, my neighbour growing up, 3 floors down was diagnosed with an inoperable malignant brain tumour at around age 3. At some point he became my mom's patient, he lived to reach 14. Because they were neighbours, my mom would visit them often. One day, weeks before he passed his mom and grandma asked if he's in a coma. She said he's been in a coma for a few weeks. She came back upstairs crying. But it did give the carers clarity and relative peace.

Whenever he says 'stay happy and healthy', I finish off with " and get well soon " 🤣 for those of you who don't know, it is a show on cbeebies named 'get well soon'
Ooh I remember that, I remember watching it a lot when I was younger
I will admit when I go to the doctor, they hardly look at me anymore. He is always staring at the computer while asking me questions at the same time
Rainbow same, the last doctor I went to would pull his loud table with his laptop from room to room and he barely acknowledge me.
@@ArtzieGal I miss the days when your dr looked at you in the face with a paper file. If I need a prescription, I don't even see a pad anymore. They send it straight to the pharmacy now. Sometimes the pharmacy doesn't get it and I have to fight between my drs office and the pharmacy just to get medication
Why am I only just seeing this, this is worth it’s time length in gold 😭😂
Well said Dr Mike, that's one of the major issues on medical professionals minds. My younger sister is a palliative care nurse and mum a retired midwife/a and e sister. I'd say tell the the patient the truth but delicately with family help. Mum agrees but sister disagrees slightly, how you approach the patient and family changes the dynamics. I'm all for being forward. Katie in Glasgow
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.
@@flanaggenwaters my skin doctor told me to wash my face when I presented with pretty bad acne. I have this problem for 7 years.
Also she was annoyed because there were so many patients with severe problems and she didn't have that much time. She blamed it onto patients even though she was the one that didn't make appointments and told us to just come during her hours.
@@scottvelez3154 yeah you can do it. But you won't be able to imply your knowledge without experience . That's why we spend 7-12 years of our life's young age studying and practicing.
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.
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.
You’re hilarious, Dr Mike…..that’s why we love ya.
Me having a headache
Google: Your coffin is ready😵
Dr. Mike: Chest compressions,chest compressions,etc.
Mom: That goddamn phone!!!
You forgot the essential oils
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!” 😂❤️
Well I just did and I found “Doctors of Osteopathic medicine. With a picture of him on it. ❤️😂
so I'm finnish and what we seem to do here is that when i needed to go to the emergency room is that I, as a patient, fill the checkbox questions when I'm waiting. (I had fallen off a bike and needed my teeth filled in temporarily so I wasn't in a rush) so that can be done with the forms they have hanging about in the waiting rooms or beforehand, at home with the online forms you fill when you're going to an appointment. they ask things like those smoking/drinking/drugs but also eating, teeth care, meds, diagnoses, family history, and also obv the basic personal information.
and so I fall of my bike, call the hospital and ask what to do, they tell me to go to emergency dental care first bc it closes earlier, I arrive, I tell I arrived and am told to fill a form, I fill it and sit to wait. then I go on with the form, they check the bits they care abt and fix my teeth. also ask abt it, like with my meds.
do my question is: is this common and where?
This is why I went to school for office administration health services. I am every doctor's best friend because I do a lot of the administrative duties that doctors are famous for hating. I love working with doctors and they seem to enjoy having me around. I just started a new job and all the doctors that I have met have been welcoming and grateful that I am working at the office!
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 !!
Shubham Garg seems legit
Haha, I just imagined a comedy show. Funny.
😂😂😂
The answer is always chest compressions.
Hahahhahahahahahaha
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.
Noice
Same thing as a lot of IT jobs; they’re just really good at googling and know what to look for
Omg..
I love your hand writing
I saw an episode of Orange is the New Black where a patient was talking to her doctor about how her cancer treatment was going. It clearly wasnt going well and she said to the doctor "don't bullshit me, doc. Tell me like you would tell your mother" and idk "tell me like you would tell your mother" seems like a really good approach to givint patients news
Mike : * is reading sentence aloud*
Also Mike: *furiously highlights the sentence again and again*
"no one has ever told me my handwriting is illegible" ... let me be the first then
I actually had no trouble reading it.
Oh wait, I read doctor writing for a living. Never mind, it's bad. 🤔
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.
Leslie M lots of youngsters write in cursive too ;) 17 and I still do! It's so pretty
He wrote "Da's not so bad,right?"
Omg 😂😂
I feel like all he said about wanting to help vs administration burden also applies to teachers and the reallity of wanting to teach and having institutional blockages, less happiness and less societal steem.
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.
no one:
literally NO ONE:

not even a ghost:
dr.mike: *flexes diplomas in the background*

Flexes his watch (Audemar Piguet) way more tbh
That's what's up! Flex it, Dr. Mike!
People: doctor are overpaid
Football player: almost got paid millions of dollar just playing football
(not hating football, football is my fav sports)
I do hate it
@@madisonsnapp4207 Only as free as large, unregulated corporations will let it be.
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 mean, not everyone can play football as good as them
I still love remembering one visit I had, and my doctor asked if it was alright if two endocrinology students could watch. I said it was fine. Climbing onto the table (I’m short) for basic checkup things, my doctor is typing on the computer, and there’s this awful crackle-crunch noise. The students look horrified. My doctor turns, “Was that your hip or your knee?” “It was both.” The students wanted to figure out what was happening… my joints have been imitating bubble wrap since 2006!
I appreciate your comments about admin taking up practice time. We experience the same in Social Care.
I literally had a dr google my symptoms. 🤷♀️
Desiree Reed oof
..........it's cancer isn't it
Desiree Reed my mums old doctor told her to go home and google her issue, google told her she’ll be dead in a year... that was a fun year.
Lynsey Rose hows your mom??
My doctor did that too, was awkward when he was looking at the same pics I had already looked at.
Me: man my head hurts
Mom: you're fine
My aunt who's a doctor: just a headache
Google: you have two days to live
Anna MacDonald Google: goodbye old friend
Dr. WebMD: So what seems to be the problem? Besides the cancer.
Boy do I feel for the doctors on the computer bit. I have been to so many doctors in the last two years (long covid symptoms) and I've really noticed how they have to begrudgingly ask me the same questions I've answered online before coming in and to the nurse to enter it all into Epic. It's SUCH a waste of time, no wonder I haven't been taken into an appointment on time in several years.
Me: Hmmm lemme type "doctors are" in google
Google: Doctors are not herpes
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.
My Primary Care physician is the same way. I've been going to her for nearly 40 years.
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..
