    After starting with comments turned off out of concern this might require more moderation than usual (which I didn't have the bandwidth for today), I've turned them on for now. We'll see how this goes.

      I’m not trying to be offensive or rude or anything, but why exactly do you not want comments that require moderation? Do you not like the toxic environment it might create in the comment section? Or is it more of a business related thing regarding sponsors and whatnot? If you encounter a bigoted and ignorant comment, why not create a video on those kinds of comments and address each one in a scientific and philosophical dialectic kind of way?

      @@jclive2860 I don't take sponsorships so that's not a concern. The primary audience for this channel is medical professionals and medical professionals in training, and I aim to keep the comment section befitting that intent. I think the generally respectful and judiciously moderated comments across all my videos is one way in which my channel is distinguished from most other health-themed channels on RUclips.
      This is not a public forum for any bigot with an opinion. To create a thoughtful video response to every bigoted or offensive comment that I receive would be the full time job of a small army of people. And in the end, such videos would change virtually no one's opinion.

    This video unfortunately won't improve my physical exam skills, but it was still good 😅.
    Good to see Biden finally drop out, but it's honestly infuriating how irresponsible it was for the Democratic leadership to let it get to this point by not promoting/highlighting young leaders earlier. And by earlier I mean 10+ years ago.

    Wouldn't say I want more political content from your channel, but I enjoyed how you presented your point of view on this topic. As a non-American libertarian, I think informing people about the nuances of their upcoming voting decision is the best way to increase the chances of successful damage control in the upcoming election. Looking forward to the more medically-oriented video on the topic!

    I agree that neither man is fit. However, I stand by the phrase, “Democrats fall in love; Republicans fall in line.” Put differently, it seems to take more willpower for potential Democratic voters to get out and vote. To only address Biden’s shortcomings, many though they are, is to depress a voting bloc that is all too important during such times.
    Though at times like these, I wish political parties were more official, and you could just vote for the party rather than the person. Who knows, maybe that framing could actually focus on policy rather than personality.

    I'm from Europe. The fact that the U.S. voting system is so messed up that you basically only have a choice between two parties just boggles my mind. With a more modern voting system, a situation like this wouldn't really matter, because other parties would just come up with younger, more fit candidates.

      From the transcript: "As far as Trump is concerned, well, to anyone who hasn’t yet been convinced the man is a pathological liar, malignant narcissist, misogynist, bigot, and a literal criminal, who is wholly unfit for to be a school board president let alone our nation’s president - if you’re not yet convinced of that, there’s nothing I or anyone else can say that will change that."

    There is nothing wrong with having a poliical discussion which this video clearly is. But there is someting wrong in engaging in the practice of medicine by diagnosing someone with MCI or dementia without their consent even if the physician has a large following, is famous, or whatever the case might be. The great thing about being a phyiscian is that we have people's trust just based on our training and we got that not because we started making diagnostic decisions on public figures.
