[@ninabeena83]

Literally just paused the video to do a little sleuthing, these credentials are mentioned on numerous sites, several of which I mostly trust as far as veracity of info since I’m able to search/check for actual, reputable doctors I personally know. However, the verbiage in every single one of his bios seems self written and very casual, language wise, if that makes sense. He IS board certified and has publications (lots of cancer research) but at the same time I’m not sure I would trust his advice, if not misinformation than his delivery is….strange to me. But then, he’s a social media physician that seems a tad too too unserious in that regard imho, and seems to suffer from short man syndrome on top of the inflated egos some doctors have, so I remain cautious lol

[@SraMido]

@@ninabeena83 yes! It’s a weird case!

[@standdownrobots_ihaveoldglory]

Schools MAY verify degrees, but they do not HAVE to tell just any member of the public. Don’t bother the registrar, please, and register a complaint or query with the state licensing folks and/or the National Board if they are claiming to be board-certified. Note: board cert is optional, you can still be a specialist without it, but falsely claiming it is big trouble, and extra big if they’ve publicly lied about any credentials. Watch out for “attended” tho, it doesn’t mean matriculated or graduated. Anyone can go to Harvard’s lifelong learning branch, for example, and technically they’ve attended Harvard. Lots of scammers do this, it’s technically right & is legal.

Sometimes it's good to know things outside from what your doctor tells you - a lot of women with PCOS and related conditions will confirm, they got treatment only after they demended specific tests, because they already had an idea what's wrong, and they got the idea somewhere online. The rule is don't try to treat your condition based on online advice, consult your doctor. And if he doesn't listen find a new doctor. And never believe anything from tiktok.

[@hedgiebing55]

I am just curious. Why are newly graduate doctors like that to be so full of themselves? Are they rich? Or is it just pride? By hierarchy stand point, they aren't in the highest rank cuz they still new to the field. I could imagine doctors who worked for many years would be the ones full of themselves. In some ways that would make more sense. So it's very cringy to see doctors like Dr. Charles who just graduated be prideful and talk down to more experienced doctors. I thought new doctors would be more humble with their lack of experience and knowledge. And I thought being prideful as a new doc would hurt their reputation and credibility. Isn't this common sense to med students and newly grads? But I never been thru that field so I don't what med students go thru and think about.

[@bearystarberry]

@@hedgiebing55 I think it is primarily based upon their background and their personality. I have met the sweetest doctors young and old and there are always the bad ones in both groups. I do believe some of my best experiences have been with IMG doctors so take that as you will. I think a few of the younger doctors treat their “Dr” title as a status symbol. They have every right to be proud of completing medical school and their postgraduate training (especially as some take 4+ years), but some take it to the extremes and come off as a POS. It would be interesting to see the exact pipeline tbh.

Just because he was the last ranking student from Harvard and Duke, doesn’t mean he is a reliable “doctor.”

[@Anre23]

To supplement your point ,this guy studied evolutionary biology at Harvard for undergrad. I am not entirely sure how that remotely relates to modern medicine other than historical information, but maybe someone more educated about the field could let me know. With regards to med school, lots of med students will tell you that there are a group of students that will actual try to understand the science to become good physicians and there are a group of students that will just memorize what they need to know for the board exams. I think it's safe to say Dr. Charles falls in the latter group.

[@eileen_a_b]

​@AnikaReza to be fair, your undergrad focus/degree doesn't matter as long as you have taken the necessary classes that are listed as a pre-requisit to get into the medical program. It's probably not useful in his medical degree and it probably was an easier undergrad degree compared to some others he could have chosen, but he surely took the science classes that were required. I absolutely agree that there are different types of med students and working doctors. He definitely comes across as the type who is in it for the money and recognition. He has no shame and it's gross.

[@Anre23]

@eileen_a_b you are absolutely right about degree of study being relatively inconsequential to getting into medical school. But the reason I mention his undergraduate field is because he intentionally did not specify it in his profile. Even if you look at his dermatology clinic websites, his educational background is not listed there. People can easily be led to believe that he got his medical degree from Harvard (which I admitting thought at first). Of course, Duke is no school to scoff at either, but half truths about his background is a red flag. He is using his alma mater as a lure to convince people he is credible. (I definitely should have clarified my train of thought in my initial response 😅)

You, Robert and Dr Mike are some of the only influencers I would believe with advice and reviews because of the research you do and that you would reach out to other professionals for information as and when you need it. And as for blocking the dog… that tells me all I need to know about him! 😂

[@justkiddin84]

7:32 He literally cannot say criticism. LMAO, that is revealing. He had to say that, didn’t mean it. Peter Monn has been telling folks about not disclosing ads for years, but they keep doing it. Even after big cases of people having to pay HUGE amounts in fines. Really stupid. It’s a really easy way to check a channel to see if they are worth watching. ♥️✌️ Thanks, James, for being a voice of sanity and honesty!

[@jeanneprieto5219]

I’ve worked with many doctors as a nurse….I have worked with several doctors just like Dr Charles, arrogant and unable to admit that others may actually know better. I have put most respect for Dr Mike and internal medicine/family practice doctors in general…they are the doctors most people see and while they aren’t specialists, they know a lot about a lot and are the ones who refer you to specialists when you need one.

[@Maomaomahu]

The way Dr Charles wears that labcoat is really giving me Milgram Experiment white lab coat theory. Like i aint trusting u more cuz of that coat, brother.

[@elliottlupin]

Fr, like I have a lab coat hanging off my chair because I need it for my chemistry classes. I could wear it and start yapping on the internet, but that doesn't mean I know shit. And as a 2nd year undergrad student I definitely don't know shit.

[@cathyabril8615]

Let's give a moment of appreciation to Dr.Mike... Seeing a doctor actively humble many narcissistic doctors is great. I have personally dealt with specialists who were too consumed with their own egos that it prevented them from treating me properly.

They said he got his degree from Temu 😂 I howled.

I'm so glad you've done this video. Would you consider doing one on the gifts brands are giving to influencers, such as Chanel and Birkin handbags, worth thousands of dollars and the subsequent content generated about the handbag and associated hyperbole about the brand's product? I'm thinking about a couple of American influencers in particular.

First time watcher and I just want to say that your skin is immaculate. It’s literally glowing

[@crispyyrosee]

I have Ehlers-Danlos Syndrome, and seeing how wildly wrong a ton of MDs are is so wild... I've had it happen to me personally.

[@kapertures]

It's terrifying. I also have EDS. And a lot of medical trauma. Sending you well wishes.

[@crispyyrosee]

@@kapertures right back at you, zebra buddy!! 🦓 I'll never forget telling an anesthesiologist that EDS patients need more or stronger general anesthesia and he brushed me off like it wasn't a thing. I woke up like 15 mins after the procedure and without any grogginess. I was supposed to be out for about 45 mins or so... Dude didn't listen. I ended up asking the doctor to come in and told him directly that it took place because I was so scared about anyone else being ignored like I was. He was shocked to say the least.

[@kapertures]

@@crispyyrosee I'm so sorry you suffer, but it's nice to come across a fellow zebra! 🦓 The gaslighting they do to us is so scary and sad. They do not listen to me about MY body and what *I* need. They actually don't know best and could use the education about it. You aren't alone.

[@tkmiller_author]

This was excellent James!! Thank you so much for sharing all of this🥰 On the lip balm cases, the samples mfgrs send to the client for approval are sometimes made from a small batch so that they are perfect rather than being pulled from the same process that the live run will use, which is what's supposed to happen. 90% of the time, this works out and saves a lot of time but it's not proper.

[@katmustang7666]

Q: What do you call a doctor who graduates at the bottom of their class? A: Doctor

[@digi_gabrielic]

It baffles me that dr charles thought calling one of the most respected and loved doctors on social media a "troll" would be a good tactic for avoiding accountability.

[@celestedivinity2178]

My guess is that there is probably a silicone in the base of the gloss and a silicone in the applicator tip that is leading to the applicator degrading.

I love the wealth of information in James’ videos. And I appreciate you dont play an entire video of other creators but paraphrase the important parts. That way we get to enjoy ur voice and content to the fullest. How this ‘dr’ has so much following is beyond me 🤦🏻‍♀️

[@skairdykat]

I can’t stand Dr Charles (is he even really a doctor? Just because he’s written it in his bio doesn’t mean it’s true) I’ve only really seen him trying to give make up advice on Robert’s channel and now this but I really don’t like the guy. He seems a real douche lol

[@melrye7350]

He's a dermatologist. That's it. He is absolutely not qualified to give any kind of medical advice outside of dermatology, and even then I don't know I would trust his skin advice

[@TiaUK1]

Yes years ago I bought a Chanel foundation online when I’d been buying it from the Boots Chanel counter in the UK for a couple of years… I was taking a break from running my then business when I was only 18, due to family issues so was looking for cheaper options & I found the exact Chanel foundation on line which looked so genuine that I bought it. Once it arrived & I opened it, it was in a class bottle with identical labelling & colours… the lot, but at the back of my mind I could see the colour wasn’t correct & remember not seeing the shade I always got from Boots as an option on line so just assumed I’d picked wrong as online swatches can be misleading. So I used it, several times, however it never felt, smelled or looked or seemed the same… never broke me out or anything but just something cheap about it… but the shade matched my tan perfectly. So I decided to save up & go buy from Boots again but I took the bottle I bought on line with me to get that shade, well that shade never existed in the Chanel range, it was fake, cheap nasty stuff, which I guess I knew deep down 😂 But the point of my story is that this was 20 years ago… so imagine how much scams/fakes & the rest of it have increased in that 20 years?? Be careful people ❤❤❤❤

[@jeffdiggs7030]

[@asifloserface]

I clicked on this video on a whim (That prolapsing lip balm clickbait got me hook line and sinker. LMAO) and I found it really insightful. I think you're right. Social Media has a big problem with transparency.

[@UpsideDownWithJane]

I feel like so many brand owning influencers do that! I noticed that Blogilates doesn’t seem to tag things as an ad when making content directly about popflex clothing.

[@celery7094]

I agree that it would be ideal for her to be tagging her videos as ads, but I think legally she is in the clear because every video is her saying “I/we made _____”. It would be really hard to argue in court that a reasonable viewer wouldn’t know it’s her brand and that she financially benefits from the sales. From what I have seen myself and heard others say about the Tala CEO, the issue with her videos was that she wasn’t explicitly saying “I made ____” or “my product”, and that someone who wasn’t familiar could watch one of those videos and reasonably believe that it wasn’t her own company.

[@UpsideDownWithJane]

@@celery7094 you make a very good point. Maybe that’s why she repeats ‘I made/I created/etc’ as nauseam…

[@jetson10100]

I can't get over how good your skin looks!!

[@glitteringmaze]

I see a few people saying the Cay Skin SPF lip gloss made their lips burn, but I do wonder if they’ve tried other SPF balms too? Because my lips get irritated by ALL chemical SPF balms, even if my facial skin is okay with the same sunscreen ingredients. I can use mineral SPF on my lips though (just bought the Supergoop one). I think we just gotta remember the skin on the lips is even thinner than even that on our face and may be even more easily sensitized. Not that I’m defending a prolapsing lip balm, but just curious if others have tried SPF lip balms before the Cay Skin.

[@manaash4316]

Wasn't Nivea, it was ponds comparing their cream Vs niveas but they were two different types of cream so not comparable but pnds was saying Nivea was crap because it left a film - Nivea was a thick cream Vs pond lightweight gel cream so the judge said it was defamation basically.
