I work in the ER as a psych emergency clinician. Pre-auth's are also bane of my existence!

[@heatherbartlett4211]

We need more doctors like you Dr Mike. As a nurse, I see you value your staff and colleagues.

Your most brilliant post. Fantastic to see the consideration and care behind the...glitz?

[@violetskies14]

I'm glad you discuss with the patient bc as a chronically ill person I didn't get that a lot growing up. I was a scared kid in a lot of pain and I had lots of doctors who just wouldn't listen to me and brushed aside my opinions and concerns and still do even now as an adult. I've lived with these things for a long time so it's great when doctors recognise that and discuss instead of assuming.

Mom: Why you gotta watch YT all day? wth can u possibly learn? Dr.Mike: *and i took that personally*

[@leilhazaneperez5248]

Doctor mike I'm gonna be honest, you have had such a big impact on me ^^ I was always interested in medical stuff but lost that curiosity but then one of your videos popped up in my recommended, honestly it brought back that curiosity and I thank you for that, now im planning to go to med school, thank you ^^

[@amymeade1305]

I wish more doctors had this positivity and enthusiasm. Keep up with the videos!

I honestly can’t believe I’m considering med school even though it’s been years since I graduated college because of the amazing things you share every week. I just find it amazing that you save people’s lives while doing something you love. After my father died, I sort of lost my trust in doctors but you completely turned that around. So thank you! And thank you to all the healthcare workers who continuously risk their lives to save others ❤️

Aww this is adorable! I hope you manage to become a doctor

I did the same. Finished my undergrad and worked for 6 years before starting medical school so I am 33 in 3rd year and not that this is the case for all, but being a little more experienced in life has made a big difference for me. Good luck with your applications and starting back in school!

[@stefumli]

@@KaitCervi hearing about people who enter med school later in life really inspire me. I’ve always been afraid of taking my time because I feel like I’m wasting time. But people like you inspire me more ✨

You helped motivate me to go after my real dream- nursing. My passion is working with the pediatric population as a WOC nurse. I have Crohn's disease myself as well as an ileostomy. Providing education for patients and erasing the stigma is something that I'm passionate about.

[@LLPasion]

We need more doctors like Dr. Mike. I’m so glad I have a doctor that is compassionate and caring like him.

[@pcpchic]

I’m a preceptor too - you nailed the self happiness and “becoming an adult”

[@kimmiekins]

I wish there was more caring doctors like you. I can’t imagine the stress doctors go through and the demand it takes to do the job but I feel like it’s so hard to find someone that cares and is passionate about getting to the route of a problem🖤

[@heathermoler]

While I love your funny videos, I have to say I like these serious and positive ones better! Thanks for another great video!

[@danielaport]

I wish every doctor was as thoughtful as you with their patients. I've been sick my whole life and in 30 years I only met a couple doctors who really listen to me.

Your videos give me so much hope that there are good doctors out there! I’ve struggled with Lyme disease for most of my life and it affects my joints, anxiety, and immunity. My pediatrician (I’m 17) does not recognize Lyme as a problem. She listened to the same symptoms year after year and told me to go to a specialist (which I can’t afford). She wouldn’t help me find treatment or discuss my options for relief. During one appointment I was told I would not be seen at the office if I didn’t get a this vaccine (not required for anything else) right away (I was having an immunity issue at the time and sometimes react negatively to immunizations) I gave in and had flu like symptoms for the next few days. It ruined my immunity and I spent 1 whole month sick (stomach bug, COVID, ear infection, ruptured eardrum, then a cold) I missed out on work and Christmas. I left the office after that. All doctors I’ve seen up until this point have been close minded and would wait for my health to get bad rather than preventing problems. I found out that all I needed to do was avoid gluten and take a few supplements to keep my Lyme at bay. I just started visiting a smaller local office that has been a godsend. We explored what was making me feel bad, the discoveries over made about my health, and options for treatment. She recommended we get a few tests to do and things that might help me feel better in the mean time. I cried after I left my first appointment because I was so relieved and felt so comfortable and cared for. I now look forward to my doctor appointments and feel a million times better with my health. It’s because of doctors like you that my health is in good hands :) Thank you for your good work. You are the true heroes!
