I think this does a great job of highlighting the importance of being independent, critical thinkers and not simply being passive consumers of information.
Thanks Dr. P. That was a great sanity check for me. My wife and I are both 3rd years and we've been tossing similar ideas around. What bugs me is how religious everyone is getting about this. If you question ANYTHING, many colleagues will treat you like some kind of anti-science heretic.
Love the vid Doc! I completely agree. I definitely think everyone should be thinking more critically about the situation at hand and not just mindlessly accepting the information that they hear from the mainstream media. A lot of it does more harm than good.

In order to be a Trauma surgeon what class did you major in college??? Also did you major in psychology?? Please answer my question, I’m a junior in high school and I’m in a bit stuck with this :/
Thanks for the thoughts Doc. The politicization of all this is mind numbing. It's nice to hear some healthy skepticism and avoidance of extreme biases/speculations.
I’m honestly just concerned that we live in a government that undermines science. It used to be that medicine would still be respected though (which is weird since they go hand in hand), but now we’re starting to undermine what medical science. I really just think that medical care and public health should not be politicized, and we should all work together to prioritize finding solutions rather than divide ourselves at every choice. The hydroxychloroquine opinion was based on a study on the SARS virus and its surface proteins, where the medication successfully inhibited the virus from entering cells. People then presumed that the same would happen w Covid, since genetic testing showed that the virus had the same surface proteins. The fact that the president starting to endorse its use on that already had people against the drug for no reason than own bias. When results showed that there might be better options, the president did not modify his opinion based on novel evidence, and just stayed w hydroxychloroquine. Truth of the matter, is that we didn’t know much on how to tackle the virus, so people acted on the knowledge that was available at the time. We don’t know everything about the virus now, but we know more than we did those days; therefore, we should act on what we know now and evolve from past knowledge. We need to stop holding ourselves back and dividing every time something new comes, and go with what evidence we do have (until more evidence is presented)
W that said, big fan of your channel and content. You’re an inspiration. I’m glad to see you back. Send prayers, vibes or whatever to help w me taking step on February. Would not have gotten this far without people like you being an inspiration
hooligan; keep in mind, I did not say the president alone. I also pointed out that people who opposed trump immediately opposed hydroxychloroquine just by trump started to endorse it, which was wrong. Both sides are at fault. All conclusions I’ve reached have been through my own research of scholarly articles. If you disagree that is fine, I’m not claiming to be perfect. Just sharing my thoughts on an open forum. I wish you the best :)
IJscorp 1 I agree that both sides are at fault. However, there are studies suggesting that hcl is effective and others suggesting it is not. It’s hard to blame the president for knowing which one it is when even your advisers are split.
Can you do a video on how to choose electives in med school if you still don’t know what specialty to go into? Perhaps more broadly, how to choose a medical specialty as well for those who are significantly struggling to narrow it down.
Long tiiiime no seeeeeeeee doc ! So good to hqve you back. " This s*** doesn't make any sense " 😂 excactly my thoughts ! I am social distancing on a greek god level since March and 4 months after i am exhausted ! At this point i feel that we should declare a global collective clinical depression tbh xD
Hi Doctor parker, do you think this SARS-Cov2 novel coronavirus has/ could have multiple pathophysiology such as other pathogens e.g. Herpes virus or TB. Could it be that there is only one virus but it might only be symptomatic if it enters certain pathway ?
What makes you say that internal med docs and surgeons are capable of making a decision based on the patient as a whole, but infectious disease doctors are not capable of it? What's stopping a good ID epidemiologist from making these cost benefit analysis?
Actually I was preparing to enter the medical school but it's been a week I feel I won't be happy in medical shool &I'll regret it later cause people around me keep saying it's hard &you can't make family 🙄
AMEN!!! This is so spot on. To add, I think shutting down people and forcing people to stay home also makes the chances of being susceptible to illness as their generally more lethargic, combined with stress of how they will survive financially and being totally freaked out from all the fear mongering that has been going around!
I am a doctor was doing covid testing one of my colleagues turned out to be positive he was apparently working in ICU. Then 2 cardiac patients turned out to be positive. He was shifted to covid ward and recovered after 2 weeks.
I'm a RT and like you the last couple weeks I have been saying this doesn't make sense how people are positive without symptoms and then others sick for weeks and then pass away! Talking with others I have been saying it's like it's two viruses, which are world's different. I would guess their is something different with the virus with those who get super sick and those that don't, obviously something is different some place either in people or the virus. Just a weird thing but the benefit to this, I think it gives us experience with a pandemic which isn't overly lethal. It's good practice for something that could be extremely scary in the future, just food for thought
A bit of a “rambling” commentary but I think it highlights pretty well what a lot of people are thinking. Nobody really understands exactly what is happening in the world today. From a medical perspective it isn’t really as bad as the “powers that be” would have us believe. From an economic and societal perspective, at least in my opinion, most of this panic has been orchestrated and manufactured to achieve a desired goal. What is that goal? Figure that out and then you might be closer to understanding the bigger picture.
Goddamn smart boi right here. Sharing some good thinking here Doc, certainly the kind of thinking more should be engaging in rather than all of the politicising bs that’s going on.
@@GarryBurgess Most people, not just the rich, have health insurance. There's a reason people come from all over the world to get treatment. The long wait time are too much for people who need help in socialized countries. There's also a reason that most modern medicines have come out of the USA
Disappointed in the points you made in this video. Look at countries like New Zealand that did completely shut down and adhered to the mandates. Now they’re covid-free and fully reopening earlier than any other country. The policies such as putting your mask on when you get up in restaurant are not bullshit. It’s the best we can do; if there are things we can do to stop the spread as much as possible, even if it seems silly, even if it only lowers the chances by 5%, then we should do it. Why not? Why not just wear a mask when you get up from your table? What point are you trying to make?
The best we could do is provide more respirators to people so they can actually be protected. People need jobs right now they need to start manufacturing like they did in WW2. I would love to help out at a factory part-time. The nurses I know still can't even get niosh n95 medical grade anything and if we started preventing people from becoming patients, we would be better off. U.S. has been so disappointing lately.
Heeeey , OMG GOOD TO SEE YOU 😍😍😍 I'm 6 months from graduating med school and you've been my inspiration , hope to meet you one day Sir 😊 you have a great day 🖤
@@nGUNNARp I don't think that's the case in this political climate. But, I suppose we'll see for sure after the election. If coronavirus disappears after Biden wins, we will have a better idea.
Have you looked much into if this came from a lab or not? Plenty of signs that this could've resulted from gain-of-function research being performed at the Wuhan Virology Lab
What doesn't make sense to me is not making it mandatory to wear masks when the curve is going up. Medical professionals say wear if you want, but not necessary. Numbers go up and then the curve flattens. Then cases start to go up, in very small numbers and they demand everyone taking public transit wear masks. Anyone entering a public building, which logically includes all staff, must wear masks. Wait a fucking second. In March-All of June it was no worries, wear a mask if you wish. Now it's wear or we'll fine you for not wearing a mask...WTF. Oh, and dude, you're fucking hot! Smoking hot good looks......

I'M SO GLAD YOU ARE BACK! I am currently working towards going into medical school. I work at a hospital in the ER, and I try to have conversations with some of the doctors I look up to about what is going on because I have read so much into the virus that I don't understand a HUGE portion of it. Even some of our physicians don't have all of the answers for the virus. It's so frustrating.

Well said Dr. Parker, it's very important to be brave enough to say we do not know without fear of hurting our image. Humility can go a far way, especially in medicine.
All the sense I can make is wearing a mask outside, social distancing, strict hygiène, staying home most of the time. I'm French, we had the mask battle from they are useless to it's mandatory to look one, plus the rage with Pr.Raoult.
I think the same I don't think it makes sense and that some people are more likely to die of it and some people don't get as sick based on their blood type and other factors
I think this does a great job of highlighting the importance of being independent, critical thinkers and not simply being passive consumers of information.
