hey guys it's dr. Mike today I got my
[2]
green tea here but I'm not talking to
[4]
you about tea today I'm gonna log on to
[7]
Google and actually perform some
[10]
searches that are gonna autocomplete and
[12]
today's topic is going to be about what
[15]
people think about doctors or what
[17]
questions they have about doctors you
[19]
ready I think to do this in the most
[27]
fair way is to go incognito to make sure
[30]
that my past search results don't affect
[32]
anything try searching for dinner
[34]
recipes funny cat videos jobs hiring
[37]
near me HD wallpaper dog breeds and how
[40]
to make french toast why those things
[44]
for me
[44]
doctors are the first result is doctors
[49]
are miserable the second one is doctors
[51]
are overrated overpaid are not rich are
[55]
quacks are not scientists are heroes the
[59]
seventh search is the one that's
[61]
positive about doctors that's why we're
[62]
falling in the most respected
[64]
professions category for America's
[66]
doctors the scales are tipping from
[68]
satisfaction to misery other findings
[72]
show that 87% say the business of health
[74]
care has changed the practice of
[75]
medicine for the worst I don't want this
[77]
to be the first search result but it's
[78]
actually true burnout and morale
[80]
injuries a serious serious problem in
[82]
the health care space you get into the
[84]
field of medicine because you want to
[85]
help people in fact when you interview
[86]
medical students that's the number one
[88]
answer they give but then when you start
[90]
practicing and you're seeing how you
[92]
become a slave to the technology to the
[95]
lawyers to the documentation and not
[98]
actually focus as much as you want on
[101]
helping a person that will make you
[103]
miserable
[104]
doctors are overrated I want to see this
[105]
one I work in the health care setting in
[107]
them around doctors a lot where I work
[109]
and I'm assuming other places are like
[111]
this as well as many patients as
[113]
possible are crammed into their
[114]
schedules so while I'm sure they would
[116]
like to spend more time with each
[117]
patient they simply can't and often feel
[119]
rushed
[119]
unfortunately can sometimes lead to not
[121]
making the best decision for a patient
[122]
or pushing over things that may need
[124]
more attention I've seen doctors
[126]
sometimes rush patients out the door
[128]
they'll tell them oh hey just take this
[129]
medicine know where you've got a little
[131]
bit luck did
[131]
ask the patient if they can afford the
[133]
medicine does your pharmacy even have
[135]
this medicine in stock what happens the
[137]
patient ends up going home
[138]
they try and go to the pharmacy they
[139]
find out it's too expensive where it's
[141]
not in stock they don't take it their
[142]
condition gets worse and the doctors
[144]
like legally they're covered because
[146]
they gave the treatment but in the end
[148]
that miscommunication really just ended
[151]
badly because the patient didn't get the
[153]
health care they require our doctor is
[154]
the most overrated people on the planet
[156]
come on why doctors hate their computers
[160]
I just want to click that one first
[161]
digitisation I can't say that word for
[163]
some reason promises to make medical
[165]
care easier more efficient but our
[167]
screens coming in between doctors and
[169]
patients I'll tell you why I hate my
[171]
computer you didn't enter if the baby is
[173]
a smoker click smoker click never which
[176]
is weird that that's even an option oh
[178]
error
[179]
you never said if the patient ever used
[181]
chewing tobacco we didn't sign up to
[185]
work with computers we signed up to work
[187]
with patients and help them out and if I
[189]
meant clicking a few boxes that's fine
[191]
but now our administrative tasks are so
[195]
like there's just so many of them that
[197]
we can never really focus on our
[198]
patients care that not only makes us
[200]
feel less worthwhile as professionals it
[205]
also takes away the fun out of
[206]
practicing when my father was a doctor
[208]
writing in a chart
[209]
he could spend the majority of the visit
[211]
just being face to face with the patient
[212]
now when I walk into a room I specifies
[215]
to my patient look first I have to stare
[217]
at the computer ask you a bunch of
[218]
checkboxes and then we can go in and
[220]
have a normal human conversation and
[222]
then they understand that's not the way
[224]
medicine was intended to be practiced
[226]
and I think we really need to find a
[227]
solution for this administrative burden
[229]
that we place on doctors my doctor has
[239]
found gold oh my god my doctor has a cow
[245]
puppet cast how is that the number one
[248]
search oh my god I'm literally tearing
[251]
up on this one I got a click on the cow
[253]
puppet cast oh that's not even fair I
[256]
was laughing for no reason it's because
[258]
two and a Half Men did an episode on my
[260]
doctor has a cow pupping can I even see
[262]
this cow public do doctors near me to
[267]
you that might not make sense but to me
[269]
because I was involved in part of this
[270]
campaign it's actually not do doctors
[273]
it's do doctors doctor of Osteopathic
[275]
Medicine doctors near me right yeah look
[278]
of right there by the way if you don't
[279]
know what a do is I really urge you
[281]
click the link down below in my
[282]
description box where I describe all the
[284]
differences between a do and MD but more
[287]
importantly the similarities between the
[289]
two and how the differences are actually
[290]
shrinking as the days go by do doctors
[295]
still use pagers absolutely we still use
[299]
pagers nearly 80% of hospitals still use
[303]
pagers according to a study from the
[305]
journal Hospital medicine no doctors
[306]
aren't just stubborn about leaving the
[309]
dinosaur age of communication there are
[311]
some important reasons we use one-way
[312]
pages pagers send high frequency radio
[315]
signals that get a range similar to an
[317]
FM radio broadcast plus some like cell
[319]
signals which only go to the nearest
[321]
cell tower pagers sent to multiple
[322]
satellites this redundancy increases
[325]
reliability of the message getting
[326]
through because if one towers down the
[328]
others are usually working so there's a
[329]
reason why we like pagers it's not
[331]
because we're all dinosaurs because I'd
[333]
like to think of myself as a 29 year old
[335]
as a dinosaur next month I might when I
[337]
turn 30
[338]
why do doctors have such bad handwriting
[342]
the most common reason for illegible
[345]
handwriting is the large number of
[347]
patients to be seen notes to be written
[349]
and prescriptions given in a short time
[350]
it should also be accepted a poor
[352]
handwriting has no correlation with
[354]
medical acumen or expertise of a doctor
[357]
can you imagine the worst a handwriting
[359]
the better the doctor the poor
[361]
handwriting things always confused me
[362]
like I don't have great handwriting but
[364]
I don't think anyone's ever told me it's
[365]
illegible they just always said it's
[367]
sloppy and I think sloppy is okay for a
[370]
doctor because you're in a rush
[371]
illegible dangerous for the patient just
[374]
saying why are doc
[376]
paid so much why are doctors so bad
[379]
alright like why are doctor Celine so in
[382]
my office we have a late policy of 15
[384]
minutes which can be quite troubling
[386]
think about if you have a 15-minute
[388]
appointment scheduled with your doctor
[390]
like a time slot for let's say upper
[391]
respiratory infection you get 15 minutes
[393]
did you come 14 minutes late to that
[395]
there's no way I'm gonna see you in a
[396]
minute I'm still gonna give you the 15
[398]
minutes you need but then I have to make
[399]
up that time somehow later in the day
[401]
and then sometimes the 15 minutes I have
[404]
allotted to you may require much more
[406]
time and our patient comes in with a
[408]
cough but I find out that they're
[410]
actually having a really horrible COPD
[412]
exacerbation which is chronic
[413]
obstructive pulmonary disease they can't
[415]
breathe and they need breathing
[416]
treatments and that's gonna take my
[417]
attention away and cause the schedule to
[420]
start piling up and backing up so I know
[422]
you think that doctors run late because
[423]
we're doing something weird behind the
[425]
scenes where we're being lazy or tardy
[427]
it's not usually because of that it's
[429]
usually because we're trying to
[430]
accommodate patients so there's an
[431]
emergency or something else going on my
[433]
doctor will not prescribe ambien ambien
[435]
is a prescription medication and it's a
[437]
controlled substance and if your doctor
[439]
believes that you shouldn't be taking
[440]
ambien for whatever reason perhaps it's
[443]
in your best interests for example if
[444]
I've never done labs on you and all of a
[447]
sudden you have trouble sleeping when
[448]
you never had trouble sleeping before
[449]
the solution is not just to put a
[451]
band-aid and give you a prescription
[452]
medication oh I like this one well
[453]
doctors be automated
[455]
I don't think doctors will ever be
[456]
replaced by algorithms I mean it's
[458]
always possible it depends how far in
[460]
the future we're talking about
[461]
algorithms can work hand in hand with
[464]
doctors but they cannot fully replace
[465]
doctors being a doctor means caring for
[468]
the person sitting in front of you and
[469]
that's why there's already so much talk
[471]
and anger about working on electronic
[473]
health records if we bring robots into
[476]
this situation you really need to
[477]
understand humans emotion their thought
[480]
process their education level their
[482]
comfort level with you and no person
[485]
will ever be comfortable with a robot
[487]
good doctors pregnancy test be wrong
[490]
of course any test can always be wrong
[492]
could be lab error but generally that's
[494]
a pretty accurate test what does a
[495]
doctor look like button click on that
[497]
because that's messed up black doctors
[499]
have responded to medical emergencies in
[501]
public spaces only to have their
[502]
credentials questioned one physician
[504]
answers questions on her experience and
[506]
reflects on ways to improve public
[507]
perception
[508]
well first of all it's because we need
[509]
more diversity in medicine now we're
[511]
talking about gender diversity we
[512]
already have a huge uptick in that in
[514]
fact in some specialties the number of
[516]
female medical students outnumber male
[517]
medical students so good we're getting
[519]
more diversity changing but now we need
[521]
more racial diversity I think that will
[523]
only strengthen the ability to practice
[525]
on a larger scale care for all different
[527]
types of patients how come doctors don't
[530]
get sick we do get sick doctors and
[532]
nurses get sick just like you do from
[535]
time to time I think doctors do have a
[536]
healthy immune system because we are
[538]
exposed to a lot of germs but sometimes
[541]
especially if you're treating pediatric
[542]
patients you can get sick a lot
[544]
should doctors Oh tell the truth is
[548]
interesting traditionally the doctor did
[550]
not tell the truth lest the patient be
[552]
harmed and some member or members of the
[555]
patient's moral community must be given
[557]
the truth the only times I would say
[559]
that doctors shouldn't tell the truth is
[560]
if it's going to be indirect harm of the
[562]
patient very subjective in nature so
[564]
sometimes I have a family come to me and
[566]
they have an elderly patient this is the
[568]
classical scenario at least where they
[570]
have a patient that is very ill and
[574]
they're older and they don't want that
[578]
their grandmother to know what the
[581]
severity of her cancer is because they
[582]
know that she has very bad anxiety if
[584]
she finds out it could harm her even
[586]
more now in these scenarios we can sort
[588]
of give some not lies but sort of
[591]
roundabout answers like yeah we're
[593]
working to fix this we're taking all the
[595]
best steps those sentences are really
[597]
few and far between in general doctors
[599]
should be honest we should be
[600]
forthcoming we should be calming
[603]
informative the more we can deliver news
[605]
in this straightforward clear approach I
[607]
think the better the outcomes are gonna
[608]
be in fact patients would always
[610]
compliment me or patients families would
[612]
compliment me on how straightforward I
[614]
was when I was discussing a do not
[616]
resuscitate order which is an order you
[618]
would say to not do chest compressions
[620]
and try and revive someone once their
[622]
heart stops and when I tell them that
[624]
it's not the best interest of their
[625]
family member that we would be doing
[626]
more harm than good and I didn't go on
[628]
this roundabout way of saying it they
[630]
really appreciated it so I actually like
[632]
when doctors are very frank and honest
[633]
but still sensitive to the needs of the
[635]
patient and the page
[636]
family how is a doctor who is a
[640]
generalist different than a specialist
[642]
well this is interesting so generally if
[644]
you want to become a sub specialist and
[646]
I'm saying generally because there's
[647]
other ways you would go through an
[649]
internal medicine residency where you're
[650]
trained as an internist which is a
[652]
generalist who treats adults then you
[655]
can go into a subspecialty we're using
[656]
our fellow and you learn that specialty
[659]
for several years or a year depending on
[660]
the type and then now you're a
[663]
specialist and you generally focus on
[665]
that area of the body so if you're
[666]
cardiologists it means you did an
[668]
internal medicine residency and a
[670]
cardiology residency and then also in
[671]
family medicine there's interesting ways
[673]
to do that like you can be a family
[675]
medicine doctor who specializes in
[676]
everything and then afterwards you can
[679]
sub specialize in like sports medicine
[680]
or women's health or geriatric it takes
[683]
more time but you learn more of the in
[686]
depth study of that region and you can
[689]
treat very specific patients who are
[691]
having problems at the general doctor
[693]
can treat I put together a playlist of
[695]
crazy doctors stories right here so
[698]
click that bad boy and I'll see you
[699]
there making sure you're happy and
[701]
healthy
