The question: "Never have I ever been attracted to a patient?" The question they hear: "Do I wanna lose my medical license over a youtube video?" Their answer in unison: "Nah."
If you are in a certain minset you might not notice humans or other things are attractive. Chefs aren’t carving to eat the food they make while they are making it even though would like to eat it later. And attraction is not the same as noticing something is beautiful anyway but something more conscious and a decision.
I knew a woman who bred dogs and was so terrible at coming up with names for the puppies that people were scared what would happen when she had kids. She had one dog called Gunner because she kept saying she was ‘gonna’ think of a name for him. When she popped out a daughter, the nurse asked her what she was going to name her and she looked at the nurse’s name badge and said, ‘Danielle is a good name, I’ll call her that.’ And she did! 😂😂
Omg, i remember my Nana telling me about one of her friends who had picked out a name for her daughter, absolutely loved it was dead-set on it (i can't remember what it was but it was more fashionable for time, along the lines of like Sandra, Catherine, Yvonne, that sort of thing) but when she was in labour, one of the nurses or doctors that spoke to her when she came in was called Eleanor and she named her daughter that because she liked it more. Thought that was quite a good story when she told me at the time.
“While the jokes are funny, I’ve been meaning to inform you about the deadly tumor in your brain that will cost you approximately $200,000. You have a 25% survival rate with the surgery, and a .002% survival rate without the surgery.”
Oh my god so I’m a Law student, and what she said about thinking that other people are so smart and she didn’t think she’d make it hit me so hard. I feel like that all the time and this honestly really helped me today, hearing those successful people say they thought the same.
law school graduate here - hang in there! I've definitely been there but caring so much you feel that pressure and work to do better is honestly 90% of making it. You got this.
My dad is a doctor... the worst thing I had to deal with is when his patients would find me on social media to have me ask my dad questions for them in the middle of the night... growing up I hated having a dad that was a doctor... now that I'm older and moved away from my family I get to enjoy and be proud of my dad being a doctor.
Hey, tell your dad that I have severe nail pain. Ask him if he thinks I should try holding the nail I'm hammering in with the other foot. Wait for him to be taking a sip of a drink before asking the question, then stand to the side... ;)
same tho. My father is a doctor, and my sister is a med student (btw I am also studying to get into med). My friends and relatives used to msg me asking abt illnesses even tho I try to get away with it saying he is oncall.
I once had a doctor but his hand on my knee and say, “you’re to pretty to be depressed”. Not only was I disgusted because he shouldn’t have touched me like that or commented on my appearance, but the fact that he implied that only ugly people could have a mental illness made me wretch. And leave immediately. So, I’m super glad these drs said they’ve never been attracted to a patient.
How was the question of being attracted to a patient even in this. When I go to see a doctor I look like a slug. I would NEVER imagine a doctor looking at me while I’m sick and thinking “wow she looks great”.
Kimberlea McCall right?! Maybe for a routine appointment but maybe they do that mental compartmentalizing thing where you can turn that part of your brain off during work🤷🏻♀️, some people can. After my last surgery I wasn’t allowed to take a shower for a week, in ratty sweaty clothes, I was sick already(tracheostomy revision) which made my hair worse(lack of oxygen can take a toll on your whole body, skin, hair everything) so of course, no matter how much makeup you put on “you nasty !”
I think even if they did they'd immediately pit it out their mind like they might think "they're cute. NOPE! Inappropriate! Focus!" Then immediately go and do their jobs like a professional.
@@jessepollack2815 Of course! But if they're your patient, they're obviously unwell in one way or another. And that feeling of wanting to help make them feel better, is far stronger than a feeling of attraction.
@@mariecronin I remember a couple of cases. One, an RPG round in the pelvic region in a service member in Afghanistan. OR was evacuated of nonessential personnel and volunteers worked on the patient to successfully remove the offending UXO. No residents involved, only experienced physician and nurses were involved. We didn't do amateur night at the opera in the military.
When my mother was young she was extremely sick and was going to die in a few weeks. None of the doctors could help her and just told her she just should rest. Until a nurse name ranoah helped my mom my giving her medicine and staying by her side every day for as long as she could. Eventually after my mother had survived my grandmother was so thankful to ranoah that she promised her she would have my mother name her child after her. I am not named after ranoah but my sister is ❤️ thank you ranoah for saving my mom
I love to watch both of you ❤ I'm a Neuromuscular Therapist and Certified Nutrition Counselor...and my clients often watch you in the waiting room. When you asked the question about ever having a baby named after you, it immediately caught my attention and I couldn't help laughing. I had a major surgery just over 20 years ago & had a serious, rare (and almost fatal) complication afterward. My surgeon was my hero. He spent countless hours in the hospital library trying to find a solution. It ended up taking a full year and frequent therapy to recover. 4 years after the surgery, I was blessed with an unexpected, but very much wanted pregnancy. I DID name my son after my surgeon...(although he has no idea that my son exists). I have told my son where he got his name though. He is grown now, and is a very loving and talented musician (he can play almost any instrument he picks up, has a beautiful voice, and composes his own music). He makes me a very proud mom ( mom of 6). He probably won't ever meet the Doctor he's named after. But he knows that his name has a special meaning to me. Y'all rock those scrubs and I guarantee that you are heroes in the eyes of some of your patients...even if you don't know about it.🤗😀😉
Now I'm imagining how Mike is having a gag duet together with a patient. Patient: *gags* Mike: *gags* cuz patient gagged Patient: *gags* cuz Mike gagged
It's strange because she shouldn't be pulling babies out...they need to come out naturally with the least amount of medical intervention. The mom should be the one who catches the baby.
I had my first 'known' seizure at the baggage claim in Nashville TN. I wasn't awake and I don't remember much but I am grateful to the two nurses that where there to help and keep my mom calm until transport could arrive. If By some stupid chance they ever see this thank you. If not for me, just for keeping my mom in the best state she could be in.

5:04 When I gave birth to my son I felt this way! I mean, mentally, logically, I knew he was already in my 'stomach', and that he was 'coming out' lol ... but in that exact moment when he was born, in that instant of the moment, I remember seeing him and it seeming surreal that there was 'all of a sudden' an actual baby right there. He wasn't, then he just was! I think back to that moment at times because it was pretty incredible. Weird, strange, not-pretty, beautiful, special lol so much all at once.
Yeah I know that feeling. It's pretty surreal and bizarre 😁 it's like you can't really compute that they exist before they come out and then all of a sudden, bam, it's another human being.
I began seeing my OB/GYN when I was pregnant with my first child a little over 21 years ago and I loved her so much that I kept her as my doctor for my following two pregnancies. She is a fantastic doctor and one of the sweetest humans I have ever met, but... she has called me _Jennifer_ on like 6 or 7 different occasions. And my name is _Jodi._ But hey, at least she got the "J" part correct. 😄😆💁🏻♀️ I never corrected her, I just always giggled to myself each time she did it. I figured either she had another patient who just so happened to look just like me and whose name _was Jennifer,_ or maybe her patient load was so high that she just confused the name. 🤷🏻♀️
I love her description of how cool it is to be part of a delivery "It never stops being cool to be in a room and suddenly there is another person". You can tell she loves her Job. ❤️
@Finn Devereux Well, the doctor could give medical advice if they wanted. They are qualified to do so, after all. Also, complications can arise during childbirth and having a doctor specialized in gynecology and childbirth on your flight would be handy. Just saying
I'm a nurse and have been an ER nurse, but now am a home-care nurse. My husband hears me all the time talk about the inaccuracies I notice when watching ER-oriented shows!
my father is a doctor so when he was a resident a pregnant lady came and she was ready to give birth so it happened that he was the only doctor available so he did it and the woman was so grateful that she named her baby after him . my dad grew in my eyes after hearing this . btw his name is khalid
@@xrentabrainx not at all .. because the name is arabic and btw it means immortal you should write on google translate and set the other language on arabic and hear it . i can't explain how kh is pronounced 😂😂
What if your at the doctors for a broken finger or a small rash that won’t go away? Or just feeling really off? Not every patient is going to be vomiting and sweating all over themselves.
-- I think that’s honest. Maybe he thought he would come off as 100% professional, like he can control every thought in his head? I really don’t know? Just because your attracted to someone doesn’t even mean that your going to pursue them. Man or woman we all through life desiring things we can’t have for what ever reason whether it be an ethic or the circumstances don’t favour it.
why would ppl be butthurt that they’ve never been attracted to a patient like that’s good! i would be sooo uncomfortable if a doctor viewed me as more than a patient 🤢
@@hannahn9775 Just found me attractive but kept it strictly professional? No. Showed me that he found me attractive, I'd ask for another doctor. I'm not at the doctor's office to pick up a date, I'm there because something is wrong with me. I want his attention on my problem not on getting my digits. That said, I think it's natural to be attracted to people. I've been at work and found both men and women that I thought, wow, they're gorgeous. Just a passing thought. I'm sure they have too, but I think they answered appropriately by saying they never have.
Attraction happens naturally and humans can't help it. Doesn't mean a doctor would act any differently if they found you attractive. Nor does it mean that they view every (or even half of) patient as an attractive person. My guess is in 99.9999% doctors are not attracted to their patients.
@@MsSemki There's a diffrence between being like "oh this person looks attractive" and being attracted to them. During my stays in the hospital I've noticed that literally every doctor/nurse that treated me were very good looking but I've never been attracted to them
I think it's perfectly okay to be attracted to other people even if they are patients, the question is if you have or would ask a patient out or hit on them because you are attracted to them. Personally I worked with resident Doctors, Faculty and staff at a hospital and that happens all the time. Is it appropriate? absolutely not. I know plenty of Doctors who have married their patients, staff and/or coworkers
as long as appropriate time has passed since the doctor has seen the patient (3 months to 2 years depending on area) and the relationship isnt problematic then its fine. Never ok for psychiatry
the "being attracted to a patient" thing can be tricky. during one of my internal medicine rotations as a med student, i kinda developed a tiny crush on one of our patients who was still very young (about 28 yo) but unfortunately suffered from a severe form of gastric cancer. it wasn't even a physical attraction or anything, but the way he would face that terrible illness, how he spoke about it and basically fought for his life... i truly admired him. i would check on him every single day and we got along quite well, so it was almost a pleasure to go have a chat with him, instead of it just being 'the doctor-to-be is treating her patient'. i don't really know what happened to him after he got discharged... hopefully he's still alive.
We're all human. I had to fire a male gyno once. He was only like 7 or 8 years older than me and I was very attracted to him so you can imagine exams were just too embarrassing. I told the office I moved so they didn't think I was unhappy with the service.
@@lhodgens I think that is a different story. Doctors see several patients every day in their professional capacity while we only see the doctors for checkups or when we have a problem, and they are always there to help and support. Consider a young female waitress that has to (basically) flirt with an obese balding middle aged man for tips. She is so definitely not into him. If he has any self esteem and notices he is actually starting to believe it, he should really find another restaurant for the very same reason you changed gynaecologist. Or for that matter that if the gender roles are reversed in the restaurant case, the same applies. It is just that the power situation is reversed i a patient-doctor relationship than in a customer-server relationship.
My mom actually named me after her gyno who delivered me. My name is Santa. And that doctors name was Santa :D My mom always tells the story that she was SUPER nice, one of the nicest people she had ever met and if I would turn out like that she would be happy. :D I love my name. It is a popular name in my country (Latvia), but when I go abroad, believe me - almost everyone laughs :D
I'm just happy now almost 40 yrs old to come and watch these videos in You Tube, this has made my mind that nothing really "shakes" doctors day so I can come with my problems whenever and be sure that there is nothing they haven't seen before. So than you for be here for us (even I'm writing from Finland) and confirm that most of times when we feel ashamed of ourselves, you guys dont think badly about it ♥️
@@sorayaimperial Walk into the Pediatric or OBGYN Doctor's office and hear a tasteful jazz rendition of "MotherLover" by Lonely Island playing in the lobby.
"Never have I ever ruined a date by sharing a gross medical story". Medical microbiology lab technician here. Almost all of my friends are also in healthcare or have a background in biology so I've lost my filter when it comes to this stuff. I've also matured enough to understand that a lot of "gross" medical stuff is kinda normal? So yeah. Had a Hinge date ghost me after, presumably because *he asked* what I did, so I told him, he asked what it involved...so I told him. In probably more detail than he wanted. (My job includes processing specimens to test for infectious microbes, so specimens include urine, stool, pieces of body parts, sputum, etc.)
Fellow lab tech here, I felt that lol. Not with dating (so far), but just excitedly going on about some particularly messed-up samples I've worked with while my non-medical friends stare in horror.
My mom was a lab tech, so I grew up hearing stories like that over the dinner table. Safe to say you probably couldn't gross me out unless you were really trying :)
Me 🙋🏻♀️... i don’t really have a filter when it comes to medical stuff. And so I follow medical pages on Instagram with strong images that even my MIL and SIL who are nurses can’t see. Somehow I’m not phased but when I took clinical microbiology it was fascinating seeing different microbes and how they grew on different plates. I would take pictures and show them to my bf and other family members who remind me that they don’t have my kind of stomach to see things like that. I still do it.. but my bf specifically reminds me that he’s an architect for a reason not a nurse lol
*My Never Have I Ever* _When I was in the internship in OB/GYN rotation I always asked after delivery: What´s your baby's name?_ _Once the mother told me she didn´t have a name so I told her, Why don´t put him Derek, just like me, then she said I will ask my husband._ _The next day when I was checking her, I asked her Which name have she decided, and she told me Derek, her husband was okay with the name._
As a nurse of course I have found some patients attractive. Doesn't mean I would date them. He didn't admit to it because his professional regulatory body would be after him.
They’re human, I’m sure there’s been a time or two where they’ve walked into a room and thought, “He/she’s cute”. Probably what they mean by their answers is, “I’ve never pursued a patient romantically”.
My dad is a doctor (Rheumatologist) and went to medical school for 13 years; he cannot watch medical shows because he gets so angry at how inaccurate ate they are 😂
@@archmage7813It might mean doing a UG program and then a PG masters plus maybe some other courses relating to rheumatology and medical education takes a really long time, you just don't know, my uncle went to Russia when I was newly born, for his medical studies, returned many years later when I had grown up.
I fired my doctor twice. First time was after I lost my baby. When I went for 6 week checkup he scolded me for not bringing my baby for a checkup, too. The nurse looked mordified. He hadn't even looked at my file. The nurse or I never said a word. I dressed and left. Never went back. The next time, I went to a new doctor and during the exam he kept talking about the pictures he had his nurse post on the ceiling. Said all his "women" liked looking at good looking men during an exam. As soon as he started the exam, I sat up and ask him to leave the room. He acted very put out with me. The incidents were 20 years apart. The rest of my doctors were wonderful people and I am very grateful for their care. I am 72 now so that has been a lot of doctors.
I had gone in to check in for my miscarriage and the doctor comes in and goes “how is the baby’s movement going?” And then realized I wasn’t the person they thought I was. Then the blood work people did the same. Then they told me I lost it and called me back a week later to schedule my first ultrasound. 😪
Hi doctor mike, I watched the video with the woman who can smell Parkinson’s. My grandfather has Parkinson’s and it’s really hard for my grandma and my family in general. I was hoping that maybe you could do a video donating to a Parkinson’s foundation or something like that. It would mean the world to me nice I know that even if they do find a cure my grandpa won’t be able to get better but it would mean a lot to me that other people don’t have to suffer as much as I have watching my grandpa get worse every day. Just want to say your videos are amazing thank you!
Or a teacher lol... My students prank their teachers in the beginning of the year by everyone switching names and it's almost 2 months before I figure out for sure who's who.
My legal name and my mother's name is very alike. I find out that sometimes the public clinic we frequented mixed our papers. T.T Only realized it when a new doctor looked at me, an obvious AFAB, while the paper had a male name (yes, my mother has a male name, she's cis) and asked to confirm.
I'm not a huge a fun of Starbucks but once in Czech Prague a lady has written my name "Kasa", what means "cash" in Polish. 😅 I was not offended at all!

Oh my gosh, Dr. Jones! I was an RT and went back for a lot of C sections to attend the infants and I was always amazed how one minute there were four people in the room then all of a sudden there were five! It's always si wonderful.
Re: Coming to the Rescue During a Flight - this past December I was flying from Toronto to Orlando and there was a medical emergency on board. When flight attendant asked if there was a doctor on board, ten people stood up! In fact, most of the passengers on the plane were doctors, all travelling to a medical conference being held in Orlando. It turned out that the person who needed help was also a doctor going to the conference! It was a good flight to get sick on!
Also a good flight to stand up for yourself...cuz you're a doctor and you don't want to miss this opportunity to "one-up." On a side note make the in-flight movie: Doctors Sleep
I am not a doctor or nurse practitioner and I had to get stuck in an elevator with a very pregnant lady and she went into labor with just me to depend on for help. I had no idea what I was doing, I was so scared and worried about her and the baby. But everything turned out perfectly fine, healthy 6 and a half pound baby boy.
My older sister is an ER nurse and the tales she has to tell are something else. Things out of the rectum: light bulb, eggplants, shampoo bottles. It’s crazy the things people put up there.
Octothot Apotto Dora balls .... 😂 even stranger a man had to get a rod surgically removed from his urethra . He had a fetish for wearing diapers and having them changed. He was trying to make himself become incontinent . There are a lot of stressful nights in the ER. But also a lot of funny nights too.
If I had a date with a doctor and he/she started telling me some gross medical story, I would lean forward and press for more info, because it's super cool and I love it xD

@@jendee1260 ya but half of the comments section isnt. They think if they had answered yes then the doctors would be shunned from medicine for ethics violations lol.
@@JS-gj2sn , it is not a faulty comparison. It is a mental construct that is created based on circumstances and expectations. People don't free themselves to feel whatever. They constrain themselves to norms during development such that it eventually feels natural. It's how mental development works generally speaking. Just because you feel like one is a bigger deal than the other doesn't mean that the basic mechanism is wholly incomparable.

This is absolutely pure love ❤ how beautifully you raise money and donate all. Loved this practice n wanna be a part of it. I Thank you for doing this Dr. Mike. Stay happy & healthy and keep making contribution to the universe 🙌😘
I was named after the doctor I was delivered by! His name was Alexius, which is apparently the male spelling of Alexis My mom liked it so much she named me Alexius Mariah! I met Dr. Alexius bishop while working at 23, just randomly looked at the card name and told him the story! he still remembered my mom using his name 💕
I had to threaten to drive myself to the hospital when I was in labor with my older daughter in order to get the "sperm donor" (I refuse to call him a father because he never acted like one) to get out of bed and take me to the hospital
My mom actually did that when she had me lol I was her third baby and my dad stayed home with my siblings while she drove herself because she didn't want to have to wake them up (it was very late when she left, had me at 2 am). She came across a police officer and was like "oh good I can flag him down if I need him" lol. Once you have your third baby you're a pro basically in her words
Hearing two well-established physicians say that imposter syndrome impacted them too was very reassuring to me. Having just ended my OMS-II year and being in the middle of dedicated board prep, I have self doubt nearly every day! Thank you both for shining some light and encouraging more smiles during what has been a difficult time for many!!
@Robert McDaniel I am not sure what standards you are referencing to determine worth and a basis of establishment. I consider them both to be established physicians because they have successfully trained, completed, and are wonderful ambassadors of what is easily one of the most challenging fields of study. Additionally, they both go beyond their calling to continuously influence and inspire their followers. With regards to the MD vs DO comment, I am assuming you have not been following this channel long enough to see Dr. Mike's video on this subject, but both are in fact physicians and worthy of the title that comes with it. Being a DO in training myself and having numerous friends studying under both the allopathic and osteopathic philosophies, I can assure you that we receive the same exposure and expectations to foundational medical sciences and have many additional similarities that overlap the two degrees. The major differences are in our philosophy/approach to patient care and the fact that DO candidates receive an average of 200 credit hours of additional training in Osteopathic Manipulative Medicine and Techniques. This does not make DOs less qualified or any less of a physician. In fact, I would arguably say that this training gives us an additional tool under our belts to carry out our responsibility of serving and caring for our patients. Take a look at Dr. Mike's video on MD vs DO differences. It will definitely clear up this discussion and provide you with more insight on what the true differences are.
@@mrocha3006 from what we see, definitely! lol Not sure what edits Dr. Mike may have made prior to posting, so I don't have the entire conversation between them two to know who was first or not. Nonetheless, I respect them both for sharing their stories surrounding those feelings. Maybe its easier to talk about it now that they're licensed, but that is a difficult thing for a medical student to admit to. You hesitate because you fear others may see that as a sign of weakness or take advantage of your willingness to be vulnerable. So to see these two physicians who both have a huge population of followers admit to this kind of lightens the uncertainty that these feelings are bringing to those of us experiencing it now!
re: docs not following their own advice -- one of my favorite memes online reads Dentist: Do you floss regularly? Me: Do you use unique passwords for all of your accounts?
Nah. I don't think so. He's a doctor and it is uncomfortable when someone is recognized more for their looks rather than what they did. If a common doctor did the same, it wouldn't have gotten the same hype. I wish people would recognize him more for his skills as a doctor
Question: have you ever liked a patient before? Answer: i always like my patient but i fell Inlove with one of their family member who visit them constantly..🥰🥰🥰
Dr. Jones, I am with you 100% when you said it never gets old seeing a delivery. I worked for several years in L&D and I loved every delivery, C-section or vaginal. I would LOVE to be there again but I’m old now and haven’t worked for several years. But I have wonderful memories of my time there. (Except having to get up at 5AM. Hated that.)
As someone who has experience in the medical field, I can attest to never feeling attracted to a patient before. Depending on how long one's shift is or their position in a team, most doctors/nurses are tired and over-worked. Doctors minds are laser-focused on diagnosing and managing your condition properly, while nurses are busy checking vitals and administering medications. All those medical dramas romanticise what a hospital/clinic is like. You won't see young doctors breaking the rules or flirting with patients. In reality, it's a very sterile and strict environment. Especially during time of crisis like this, it can be quite miserable.
No one said anything about flirting. I've worked with high level athletes. Walk into a room and there's a gorgeous woman with a perfect physique. Of course I'm attracted. Doesn't mean I have to show it. I can be very attracted to someone without them ever knowing. That's being ethical and professional. Can't help being attracted through
Very accurate. When I'm at work I'm too tired/stressed/focused to even think this way. Your whole mind is filled with nothing but diagnostic concerns. It'd prob take nothing short of Keanu Reeves to make me take notice of a patient this way!
Maybe you weren’t attracted but you can’t tell me there hasn’t been at least ONE example (maybe when you were doing a simple medical checkup) when you looked at a patient and your mind just goes “Hmmm not bad”. Of course you wouldn’t act on it but is it not different from if say you were at the mall and you happen to see someone hot?
Haha, Doc, that was some nice addition, the "impostor syndrome", made me crack a smile, because that's the whole subject I'm writing my Bachelor's thesis on (Psychology here). Keep up the amazing work!
@@dualbringer9032 It's a study that investigates the mediating role of school satisfaction in the relationship between personality and impostor syndrome in high school students. On top of that, I'm also conducting a network analysis, in the same paper, to view how these variables tend to group themselves, by having gender and social environment under control.
I went into a new doctor and he was gorgeous, funny, and just charming. He came in the door and we talked for awhile, but he stopped rather abruptly and apologized but told me he was going to have to transfer me to one of his colleagues because he had an emergency. I felt awful because I didn’t really believe him and thought he’d obviously just panicked, seeing my googly-eyed reaction to him. I just knew he’d seen it all over my face and didn’t want to deal with “another one of them”. I was so embarrassed sitting there in my paper “smock thing”, I just wanted to crawl under the table. The next appointment (with the other doctor) he asked if he could speak with me. I thought, oh no, here it comes. I just wanted to forget the other strange encounter (I STILL couldn’t stop staring starry-eyed at him btw). He then explained that it had never happened to him before but didn’t feel it was ethical to treat me when he really just wanted to ask me out (we did and I was right, he is truly a wonder person both inside and out).
Also, my dad said he's always wanted me or my sister to become a Doctor or a nurse. I withdrew from chemistry in college... And every time my mom had to go to the doctor (very complex medical history) I would always have to look something up. And I would always try to figure out what's going on because it was always one of three things. I don't feel comfortable accidentally murdering someone. No Doctor career for me.
I tried nursing in college bc I didn't know what I wanted to do and my aunt is one...as a super introvert with zero people skills, probably wasnt the best choice for me. It was good bc my college had clinical classes in hospitals even the first semester, so found out sooner than later.
Yeah I’m afraid of malpractice. I told my friend who is a nurse that I was considering going into the medical field but was extremely afraid of malpractice, she immediately stopped me mid sentence and was like “No, it’s not the right job for you, it’s much more than malpractice you have to worry about”
If you don’t want to be a doctor, don’t feel pressured to do so because you should go into a job you truly care about, but if you do, I’m rooting for you❤️
8:00 Loving the honesty here. All too often I hear people saying "So and so psychologist/doctor/scientist gave this advice and then contradicted themselves later. You can't trust anything!" ... And that level of denialism kills me, because that's exactly how science and human nature work; they're complex and nuanced and paradoxical. It's *good* that an expert can be so honest. It doesn't mean they don't know what they're talking about; it means they're not a salesperson...
In Germany there was a guy called Gert Postel and he successfully worked as a Physician for 17 years with no liscence! And he even ended up as chief physician in his hospital, and only after 17 years of practicing that profession someone found out that he didnt have a degree and just fooled everyone for almost two decades. Pretty insane, and if you think about how there could be people that actually make it through to their retirement this way is mind blowing to me.
First off, I think "attracted to" needs some definition. If that means "thought about sex with" then yeah that's believable. But if you've never thought "they are attractive" then I find that hard to believe. At 6:00 I can relate, having someone blindside you with medical or (in my case) psychological information about themselves when in a non healthcare setting can really take a toll. Going to work to do work and being mentally and emotionally prepared to do work, as well as keeping work at work is protective.
ya i find it hard to believe, I work in a hospital and doctors/nurses are always talking about "hot" patients they had after they leave, they probably don't wanna ruin their image but yea i dont believe it too.
Yeah, I find it hard to believe that they've never had an immediate "wow, she's pretty" or the like moment when walking into the room and seeing a patient for the first time. It's not a bad thing. Our eyes immediately send signals to our brains.
I guess I'm just really good at compartmentalizing. At work I don't even think about someone being pretty or ugly. I'm usually too focussed on other things. I could totally agree with them.
They were BS-ing in that part of the video. I find it incomprehensible that these two public figures portray attraction as something to be ashamed of. You don't choose who you're attracted to.
i don’t think it makes you a bad doctor to find patients attractive.. you obviously have a strictly professional relationship but finding an attractive and charming patient attractive is more than ok you just can’t let it affect you
Its more like it just won't hit our radar. We don't find patients attractive for the same reason people can hand us a sample of their poo without us really noticing it is _poo_. The patient is thinking "can they smell it, did someone see, is there some on the outside, is it too much, too little, is it a weird colour or shape" and we are thinking "has it been correctly collected, does it have their name and date of birth on it for the lab, and what tests should I do, what is wrong with it." Our minds are in work mode, we aren't thinking like we do when we are in "socialising" mode. When we are in "socialising" mode, then we will find people attractive as normal, and we will react negatively to being handed someone's poo, but in work mode, it just goes straight over our heads.
No, that switch is completely turned off in a medical setting and it doesn't really matter how objectively attractive that person might be outside of that setting. It really just doesn't cross your mind.
I will say, at the hospital I work at, the uniform room is located in the basement (and the doors are just open), but patients can walk past it getting to the MRI department, or some nuclear medicine wings. There are also so many young people doing internships for every field working at the hospital (nurses, radiology technician, physical therapist, doctors, biomedical laboratory technicians, etc) that no one really questions you, if you walk up to them in uniform and say "I've been told to follow you around today." Even if you don't have your ID card with you! I know because I am the forgetful person that misplaces (read loses) their ID card almost on a weekly basis. I even once accidentally put it in the laundry cages with my uniform and didn't have it for like three weeks. People still let me into the places locked if you don't have an ID for the door because I was in uniform.
I feel sure both doctors could concede having seen patients who can be described as attractive. They are not running "ugly people only" clinics. They're just professionals who don't let it interfere with medicine.
I agree. I think objectively they can say they've had patients who would be considered attractive, but they're so focused on their work, i doubt it's the kind of environment where they've personally felt attracted to the patients themselves
The question was about being attracted to a patient. Being attracted and and saying someone is attractive are two different things. As a therapist there are attractive/nice looking clients, but I'm in no way attracted to them. It's an ethical mindset that is ingrained in you in these types of fields.
You can have good looking patients but you're not attracted to them when they're coming in with some medical mystery. I'm a counselor and when I worked with adults (I work with kids now), tbh I wasn't attracted to people I was trying to help with severe mental issues. You see them as people you're helping, you see them as people with medical and mental health problems, and you are seeing people at their worst. I don't see how that would ever make you be like "oh wow, you're so hot, let's date". Would be kind of weird if people did that. That's not to say I didn't have adult clients hit on me and think I was their friend or get attracted to ME for helping them through a tough time and listening to their deep dark secrets and regrets, but my job is to listen to that stuff. Same with it being a doctor's job to help you when your hurt, sick, and scared.

When I worked as an ER nursing assistant, there were some rumored inappropriate stuff done and a few known affairs happening there (1984 - 1988). I've never known of any others at any other place I've worked since then (medical-field-wise).

I don't buy it at all. There's a big difference between wanting to date a patient and simply noticing that they are attractive. Come on, guys!
exactly they wouldn't say "yes", even if it was true.
@@KingoftheJuice18 patients can be attractive but duty calls . Its human nature to like attractive things
If you are in a certain minset you might not notice humans or other things are attractive. Chefs aren’t carving to eat the food they make while they are making it even though would like to eat it later. And attraction is not the same as noticing something is beautiful anyway but something more conscious and a decision.

Puissant Powernapper Ahaha t’as dead ça CHACAL
I knew a woman who bred dogs and was so terrible at coming up with names for the puppies that people were scared what would happen when she had kids. She had one dog called Gunner because she kept saying she was ‘gonna’ think of a name for him. When she popped out a daughter, the nurse asked her what she was going to name her and she looked at the nurse’s name badge and said, ‘Danielle is a good name, I’ll call her that.’ And she did! 😂😂
She must’ve made that nurses day!
Wow 😂
Most people are like that😂
Omg, i remember my Nana telling me about one of her friends who had picked out a name for her daughter, absolutely loved it was dead-set on it (i can't remember what it was but it was more fashionable for time, along the lines of like Sandra, Catherine, Yvonne, that sort of thing) but when she was in labour, one of the nurses or doctors that spoke to her when she came in was called Eleanor and she named her daughter that because she liked it more. Thought that was quite a good story when she told me at the time.
Haha at least it’s a good name! (Good enough 😛)

My dad is a doctor... the worst thing I had to deal with is when his patients would find me on social media to have me ask my dad questions for them in the middle of the night... growing up I hated having a dad that was a doctor... now that I'm older and moved away from my family I get to enjoy and be proud of my dad being a doctor.
that would be terrifying-
Damn, some people have no boundaries. Hey, I have a quick question. Ask your dad if…..
Jk.
Hey, tell your dad that I have severe nail pain. Ask him if he thinks I should try holding the nail I'm hammering in with the other foot.
Wait for him to be taking a sip of a drink before asking the question, then stand to the side... ;)
same tho. My father is a doctor, and my sister is a med student (btw I am also studying to get into med). My friends and relatives used to msg me asking abt illnesses even tho I try to get away with it saying he is oncall.
I once had a doctor but his hand on my knee and say, “you’re to pretty to be depressed”. Not only was I disgusted because he shouldn’t have touched me like that or commented on my appearance, but the fact that he implied that only ugly people could have a mental illness made me wretch. And leave immediately. So, I’m super glad these drs said they’ve never been attracted to a patient.
Ew.
Eh. He say she say.
Thats awful! I'm so sorry you experienced that :(

@@imok3487 Doctors care about mental health too! And psychiatrists are doctors!
How was the question of being attracted to a patient even in this. When I go to see a doctor I look like a slug. I would NEVER imagine a doctor looking at me while I’m sick and thinking “wow she looks great”.
Kimberlea McCall right?! Maybe for a routine appointment but maybe they do that mental compartmentalizing thing where you can turn that part of your brain off during work🤷🏻♀️, some people can.
After my last surgery I wasn’t allowed to take a shower for a week, in ratty sweaty clothes, I was sick already(tracheostomy revision) which made my hair worse(lack of oxygen can take a toll on your whole body, skin, hair everything) so of course, no matter how much makeup you put on “you nasty !”
Hahahaha!
If the patient looks like her then he'd say yes 'cause she's just pretty inside and out.
Lol same, though I have an appointment today, and I put effort into shaving my legs .
I think even if they did they'd immediately pit it out their mind like they might think "they're cute. NOPE! Inappropriate! Focus!" Then immediately go and do their jobs like a professional.
It be hard to ever find someone attractive when they are in one of their worst moments health wise when you first meet them.
Lmaoo
People aren’t always visibly sick at the hospital
@@jessepollack2815 Of course!
But if they're your patient, they're obviously unwell in one way or another. And that feeling of wanting to help make them feel better, is far stronger than a feeling of attraction.
Healthy people go to the doctor too you know🙄
Except for the fact that 99% of people that go to a doctor aren't like that.

I love to watch both of you ❤
I'm a Neuromuscular Therapist and Certified Nutrition Counselor...and my clients often watch you in the waiting room. When you asked the question about ever having a baby named after you, it immediately caught my attention and I couldn't help laughing. I had a major surgery just over 20 years ago & had a serious, rare (and almost fatal) complication afterward. My surgeon was my hero. He spent countless hours in the hospital library trying to find a solution. It ended up taking a full year and frequent therapy to recover. 4 years after the surgery, I was blessed with an unexpected, but very much wanted pregnancy. I DID name my son after my surgeon...(although he has no idea that my son exists). I have told my son where he got his name though. He is grown now, and is a very loving and talented musician (he can play almost any instrument he picks up, has a beautiful voice, and composes his own music). He makes me a very proud mom ( mom of 6). He probably won't ever meet the Doctor he's named after. But he knows that his name has a special meaning to me. Y'all rock those scrubs and I guarantee that you are heroes in the eyes of some of your patients...even if you don't know about it.🤗😀😉

He wasn't, then he just was! I think back to that moment at times because it was pretty incredible. Weird, strange, not-pretty, beautiful, special lol so much all at once.

What if your at the doctors for a broken finger or a small rash that won’t go away? Or just feeling really off? Not every patient is going to be vomiting and sweating all over themselves.
I love his "Im not attracted to them but they are attracted to me" comeback.
-- I think that’s honest. Maybe he thought he would come off as 100% professional, like he can control every thought in his head?
I really don’t know? Just because your attracted to someone doesn’t even mean that your going to pursue them. Man or woman we all through life desiring things we can’t have for what ever reason whether it be an ethic or the circumstances don’t favour it.
why would ppl be butthurt that they’ve never been attracted to a patient like that’s good! i would be sooo uncomfortable if a doctor viewed me as more than a patient 🤢
Because it's a lie hahah. Attraction just happens and everyone knows it has happened to them at least once. Most probably a lot more.
@@hannahn9775 Just found me attractive but kept it strictly professional? No. Showed me that he found me attractive, I'd ask for another doctor. I'm not at the doctor's office to pick up a date, I'm there because something is wrong with me. I want his attention on my problem not on getting my digits.
That said, I think it's natural to be attracted to people. I've been at work and found both men and women that I thought, wow, they're gorgeous. Just a passing thought. I'm sure they have too, but I think they answered appropriately by saying they never have.
Same
Attraction happens naturally and humans can't help it. Doesn't mean a doctor would act any differently if they found you attractive. Nor does it mean that they view every (or even half of) patient as an attractive person. My guess is in 99.9999% doctors are not attracted to their patients.
@@MsSemki There's a diffrence between being like "oh this person looks attractive" and being attracted to them. During my stays in the hospital I've noticed that literally every doctor/nurse that treated me were very good looking but I've never been attracted to them
I think it's perfectly okay to be attracted to other people even if they are patients, the question is if you have or would ask a patient out or hit on them because you are attracted to them. Personally I worked with resident Doctors, Faculty and staff at a hospital and that happens all the time. Is it appropriate? absolutely not. I know plenty of Doctors who have married their patients, staff and/or coworkers
as long as appropriate time has passed since the doctor has seen the patient (3 months to 2 years depending on area) and the relationship isnt problematic then its fine. Never ok for psychiatry
the "being attracted to a patient" thing can be tricky. during one of my internal medicine rotations as a med student, i kinda developed a tiny crush on one of our patients who was still very young (about 28 yo) but unfortunately suffered from a severe form of gastric cancer. it wasn't even a physical attraction or anything, but the way he would face that terrible illness, how he spoke about it and basically fought for his life... i truly admired him. i would check on him every single day and we got along quite well, so it was almost a pleasure to go have a chat with him, instead of it just being 'the doctor-to-be is treating her patient'. i don't really know what happened to him after he got discharged... hopefully he's still alive.
We're all human. I had to fire a male gyno once. He was only like 7 or 8 years older than me and I was very attracted to him so you can imagine exams were just too embarrassing. I told the office I moved so they didn't think I was unhappy with the service.
Hello dear
@@lhodgens I think that is a different story.
Doctors see several patients every day in their professional capacity while we only see the doctors for checkups or when we have a problem, and they are always there to help and support.
Consider a young female waitress that has to (basically) flirt with an obese balding middle aged man for tips. She is so definitely not into him. If he has any self esteem and notices he is actually starting to believe it, he should really find another restaurant for the very same reason you changed gynaecologist.
Or for that matter that if the gender roles are reversed in the restaurant case, the same applies.
It is just that the power situation is reversed i a patient-doctor relationship than in a customer-server relationship.

I fired my doctor twice. First time was after I lost my baby. When I went for 6 week checkup he scolded me for not bringing my baby for a checkup, too. The nurse looked mordified. He hadn't even looked at my file. The nurse or I never said a word. I dressed and left. Never went back. The next time, I went to a new doctor and during the exam he kept talking about the pictures he had his nurse post on the ceiling. Said all his "women" liked looking at good looking men during an exam. As soon as he started the exam, I sat up and ask him to leave the room. He acted very put out with me. The incidents were 20 years apart. The rest of my doctors were wonderful people and I am very grateful for their care. I am 72 now so that has been a lot of doctors.
Hope your doing ok 💖
Wow, crazy. Thanks for sharing
I had gone in to check in for my miscarriage and the doctor comes in and goes “how is the baby’s movement going?” And then realized I wasn’t the person they thought I was. Then the blood work people did the same. Then they told me I lost it and called me back a week later to schedule my first ultrasound. 😪

Hearing two well-established physicians say that imposter syndrome impacted them too was very reassuring to me. Having just ended my OMS-II year and being in the middle of dedicated board prep, I have self doubt nearly every day! Thank you both for shining some light and encouraging more smiles during what has been a difficult time for many!!
@Robert McDaniel I am not sure what standards you are referencing to determine worth and a basis of establishment. I consider them both to be established physicians because they have successfully trained, completed, and are wonderful ambassadors of what is easily one of the most challenging fields of study. Additionally, they both go beyond their calling to continuously influence and inspire their followers. With regards to the MD vs DO comment, I am assuming you have not been following this channel long enough to see Dr. Mike's video on this subject, but both are in fact physicians and worthy of the title that comes with it. Being a DO in training myself and having numerous friends studying under both the allopathic and osteopathic philosophies, I can assure you that we receive the same exposure and expectations to foundational medical sciences and have many additional similarities that overlap the two degrees. The major differences are in our philosophy/approach to patient care and the fact that DO candidates receive an average of 200 credit hours of additional training in Osteopathic Manipulative Medicine and Techniques. This does not make DOs less qualified or any less of a physician. In fact, I would arguably say that this training gives us an additional tool under our belts to carry out our responsibility of serving and caring for our patients. Take a look at Dr. Mike's video on MD vs DO differences. It will definitely clear up this discussion and provide you with more insight on what the true differences are.
@@mrocha3006 from what we see, definitely! lol Not sure what edits Dr. Mike may have made prior to posting, so I don't have the entire conversation between them two to know who was first or not. Nonetheless, I respect them both for sharing their stories surrounding those feelings. Maybe its easier to talk about it now that they're licensed, but that is a difficult thing for a medical student to admit to. You hesitate because you fear others may see that as a sign of weakness or take advantage of your willingness to be vulnerable. So to see these two physicians who both have a huge population of followers admit to this kind of lightens the uncertainty that these feelings are bringing to those of us experiencing it now!

As someone who has experience in the medical field, I can attest to never feeling attracted to a patient before. Depending on how long one's shift is or their position in a team, most doctors/nurses are tired and over-worked. Doctors minds are laser-focused on diagnosing and managing your condition properly, while nurses are busy checking vitals and administering medications. All those medical dramas romanticise what a hospital/clinic is like. You won't see young doctors breaking the rules or flirting with patients. In reality, it's a very sterile and strict environment. Especially during time of crisis like this, it can be quite miserable.
No one said anything about flirting. I've worked with high level athletes. Walk into a room and there's a gorgeous woman with a perfect physique. Of course I'm attracted. Doesn't mean I have to show it. I can be very attracted to someone without them ever knowing. That's being ethical and professional. Can't help being attracted through
Everyone keeps their feelings to themselves.
Very accurate. When I'm at work I'm too tired/stressed/focused to even think this way. Your whole mind is filled with nothing but diagnostic concerns. It'd prob take nothing short of Keanu Reeves to make me take notice of a patient this way!
Always thought it was kinda creepy that doctors were flirting with people who could potentially die in a few hours
Maybe you weren’t attracted but you can’t tell me there hasn’t been at least ONE example (maybe when you were doing a simple medical checkup) when you looked at a patient and your mind just goes “Hmmm not bad”. Of course you wouldn’t act on it but is it not different from if say you were at the mall and you happen to see someone hot?
Haha, Doc, that was some nice addition, the "impostor syndrome", made me crack a smile, because that's the whole subject I'm writing my Bachelor's thesis on (Psychology here). Keep up the amazing work!

I went into a new doctor and he was gorgeous, funny, and just charming. He came in the door and we talked for awhile, but he stopped rather abruptly and apologized but told me he was going to have to transfer me to one of his colleagues because he had an emergency. I felt awful because I didn’t really believe him and thought he’d obviously just panicked, seeing my googly-eyed reaction to him. I just knew he’d seen it all over my face and didn’t want to deal with “another one of them”. I was so embarrassed sitting there in my paper “smock thing”, I just wanted to crawl under the table. The next appointment (with the other doctor) he asked if he could speak with me. I thought, oh no, here it comes. I just wanted to forget the other strange encounter (I STILL couldn’t stop staring starry-eyed at him btw). He then explained that it had never happened to him before but didn’t feel it was ethical to treat me when he really just wanted to ask me out (we did and I was right, he is truly a wonder person both inside and out).
Also, my dad said he's always wanted me or my sister to become a Doctor or a nurse. I withdrew from chemistry in college... And every time my mom had to go to the doctor (very complex medical history) I would always have to look something up. And I would always try to figure out what's going on because it was always one of three things. I don't feel comfortable accidentally murdering someone. No Doctor career for me.
I tried nursing in college bc I didn't know what I wanted to do and my aunt is one...as a super introvert with zero people skills, probably wasnt the best choice for me.
It was good bc my college had clinical classes in hospitals even the first semester, so found out sooner than later.
Yeah I’m afraid of malpractice. I told my friend who is a nurse that I was considering going into the medical field but was extremely afraid of malpractice, she immediately stopped me mid sentence and was like “No, it’s not the right job for you, it’s much more than malpractice you have to worry about”
If you don’t want to be a doctor, don’t feel pressured to do so because you should go into a job you truly care about, but if you do, I’m rooting for you❤️
8:00 Loving the honesty here. All too often I hear people saying "So and so psychologist/doctor/scientist gave this advice and then contradicted themselves later. You can't trust anything!" ... And that level of denialism kills me, because that's exactly how science and human nature work; they're complex and nuanced and paradoxical. It's *good* that an expert can be so honest. It doesn't mean they don't know what they're talking about; it means they're not a salesperson...

In Germany there was a guy called Gert Postel and he successfully worked as a Physician for 17 years with no liscence! And he even ended up as chief physician in his hospital, and only after 17 years of practicing that profession someone found out that he didnt have a degree and just fooled everyone for almost two decades. Pretty insane, and if you think about how there could be people that actually make it through to their retirement this way is mind blowing to me.
Lolol Dr Mike has totally been attracted to a patient with that smile
Msjcee he was probably recounting the countless people who’ve drooled over him
I think you mean they have been attracted to him.
@Karan They didn't say that Karen he said he wasn't attracted to any patients which is why she said " you mean they might have been attracted to him".
Isn’t he a pediatrician? So all his patients are young children and their parents? Maybe I’m misremembering his specialty though
Are you german/austrian? I know it's a strange thing to ask but I saw that you are subscribed to julien bam who is a german youtuber ?
First off, I think "attracted to" needs some definition. If that means "thought about sex with" then yeah that's believable. But if you've never thought "they are attractive" then I find that hard to believe. At 6:00 I can relate, having someone blindside you with medical or (in my case) psychological information about themselves when in a non healthcare setting can really take a toll. Going to work to do work and being mentally and emotionally prepared to do work, as well as keeping work at work is protective.
Totally agree .
ya i find it hard to believe, I work in a hospital and doctors/nurses are always talking about "hot" patients they had after they leave, they probably don't wanna ruin their image but yea i dont believe it too.
Yeah, I find it hard to believe that they've never had an immediate "wow, she's pretty" or the like moment when walking into the room and seeing a patient for the first time. It's not a bad thing. Our eyes immediately send signals to our brains.
I guess I'm just really good at compartmentalizing.
At work I don't even think about someone being pretty or ugly. I'm usually too focussed on other things. I could totally agree with them.
They were BS-ing in that part of the video. I find it incomprehensible that these two public figures portray attraction as something to be ashamed of. You don't choose who you're attracted to.
i don’t think it makes you a bad doctor to find patients attractive.. you obviously have a strictly professional relationship but finding an attractive and charming patient attractive is more than ok you just can’t let it affect you
Hell, I'd say it makes then MORE PROFESSIONAL especially if they can separate the two or find them another doctor if they can't
Its more like it just won't hit our radar. We don't find patients attractive for the same reason people can hand us a sample of their poo without us really noticing it is _poo_. The patient is thinking "can they smell it, did someone see, is there some on the outside, is it too much, too little, is it a weird colour or shape" and we are thinking "has it been correctly collected, does it have their name and date of birth on it for the lab, and what tests should I do, what is wrong with it." Our minds are in work mode, we aren't thinking like we do when we are in "socialising" mode. When we are in "socialising" mode, then we will find people attractive as normal, and we will react negatively to being handed someone's poo, but in work mode, it just goes straight over our heads.
Just gotta remain detached,
while you tap that.
No, that switch is completely turned off in a medical setting and it doesn't really matter how objectively attractive that person might be outside of that setting. It really just doesn't cross your mind.
I will say, at the hospital I work at, the uniform room is located in the basement (and the doors are just open), but patients can walk past it getting to the MRI department, or some nuclear medicine wings. There are also so many young people doing internships for every field working at the hospital (nurses, radiology technician, physical therapist, doctors, biomedical laboratory technicians, etc) that no one really questions you, if you walk up to them in uniform and say "I've been told to follow you around today."
Even if you don't have your ID card with you! I know because I am the forgetful person that misplaces (read loses) their ID card almost on a weekly basis. I even once accidentally put it in the laundry cages with my uniform and didn't have it for like three weeks. People still let me into the places locked if you don't have an ID for the door because I was in uniform.
I feel sure both doctors could concede having seen patients who can be described as attractive. They are not running "ugly people only" clinics. They're just professionals who don't let it interfere with medicine.
I think Dr. Mike just has something against the people of New Jersey (lol)
I agree. I think objectively they can say they've had patients who would be considered attractive, but they're so focused on their work, i doubt it's the kind of environment where they've personally felt attracted to the patients themselves
@@sutarikun lol, why?
The question was about being attracted to a patient. Being attracted and and saying someone is attractive are two different things. As a therapist there are attractive/nice looking clients, but I'm in no way attracted to them. It's an ethical mindset that is ingrained in you in these types of fields.
You can have good looking patients but you're not attracted to them when they're coming in with some medical mystery. I'm a counselor and when I worked with adults (I work with kids now), tbh I wasn't attracted to people I was trying to help with severe mental issues. You see them as people you're helping, you see them as people with medical and mental health problems, and you are seeing people at their worst. I don't see how that would ever make you be like "oh wow, you're so hot, let's date". Would be kind of weird if people did that. That's not to say I didn't have adult clients hit on me and think I was their friend or get attracted to ME for helping them through a tough time and listening to their deep dark secrets and regrets, but my job is to listen to that stuff. Same with it being a doctor's job to help you when your hurt, sick, and scared.
