I will say after seeing this, it gives me a whole new appreciation for the american DMV and next time when I'm complaining about waiting for a few hours, I'll just remember Johnny having to spend 4 days in a Ukrainian hospital doing test after test, and say thank you to the DMV for being so efficient.
Basically, the dude could have come to any private clinic (there is one about every 1km or even less ), pay about 50 bucks and get all his medical tests as passed after 10 minutes, just formally visiting 2 doctors without any checks. That's what everyone , including me did when getting the driver license. But he probably wanted to have something to show in the video, so it's ok.
In bureaucracy system like in Ukraine you should speak a lot with people in queue, and you always meet a guy who for extra 500uah will solve your problems
@@johndorian3685 you can't imagine how much money they make on this stupid tests, look on interior of this hospital and then on interior of real hospital. Bribes goes from the lowest doctor to the head of hospital and then to the head of ministry of police. They never destroyed their own business
I’m sure your comment will get deleted by Johnny as he does with all the negative ones. It’s futile to post any uncomfortable truth on RUclips and here specifically
Thanks Johnny for struggling with our bureaucracy. I paid 300 UAH to get this certificate when I was attending a driving school. Almost 90% of people do in the same way because they don't want to spend their time in staying in the lines :) Thank you for the content. Now I know what nightmare I should have passed through if I wouldn't have paid the 300 UAH )))
Hi Johnny! With the large incidents of road rage in the United States, it wouldn't be a bad idea to have US drivers meet with a psychologist every so often.
Anyone that is allowed to drive a huge metal death trap should be mentally tested, not just one country lol. psychologists aren't going to help people that think what they do is acceptable anyway sadly enough.
Hey Johnny, I have done dozens of these when I was in school and University and it is all looking very familiar, long lineups, going from one place to another. Kudos to you for finishing it, you were very patient. Congrats on getting the form. Also it is amazing to see how friendly and nice everyone is, speaking English to you, showing you how to get around, showing you where to go. Before they were not so friendly hahaha. Huge thank you to them. Also the medical center (poliklinika) is very nice, it is located in downtown area, so looks renovated and pretty new compared to the ones in other areas of Kyiv. Thank you for the video, keep up the good work!
As a DMV employee in the US I can say that this process is genuinely crazy, yes we do have long waits and all those stereotypes but it’s nothing like this. Also there is a process that we have to do and it’s similar to the psychological exam is that we ask screening questions and we are trained to be super observant while asking and during the transaction. All in all super cool to see how it goes in other countries!
But as he explained in the last 1 minute of the video it's all a big charade to get money, that's what Ukraine is all about sadly from the girls to the hospitals to the police to the courts to the healthcare system... everything.
As a Ukrainian, I can tell you that even for me this is insane (what I have seen on this video). Also the process can vary in complexity in different cities, towns, hospitals etc. Basically, someone can get all medical tests much faster and easier in local autoschool (but more expensive). But Johnny went the bloody (literally) long way.
I grew up on Chicago a d never waited more than maybe 20 minutes. Maybe I'm lucky. All the places people complain about me we seem to be a problem for me. The post office, etc. Then again I always know it can be much worse so maybe it's mentality. If you expect a 2 hour wait at the DMV maybe that is what the universe will give you.
@@alexnoor7689 No, you're wrong. In Ukraine 30$ is for medical tests and papers only. The course itself costs about 200$ (including fuel). Also, if you do everything right from the first attempt, then you have to pay something in addition for paperwork, about 15$. So, in total, it would be about 250$ at least (in reality, I think it could be more expensive, up to 300-500$).
From a lot of these videos it seems like Ukrainians are very friendly and chill. They don’t really mind that you’re filming and the people that work in those places seemed to easy going and to joke with you. It’s definitely now on my bucket list.
@@aerialhorizonrc7827 Here in Germany, you can barely film on the street before somebody feels targeted and comes up to you and starts gobbling like a turkey.
Well, I am sure that Johnny informed them to allow to film. If somebody from a government facility is really filing a complaint against a foreigner then yes you may lose your rights to extend your residence card. They have the power to do, and you can't do anything about it, that's reality bro. Btw I'll make sure I'm updating my drivers license from my original country, because for sure I don't want to lose that.
@@teceffect9826 According to the law of Ukraine, the work of all government agencies is open. They may ask you not to record, but they cannot complain. Sorry for my bad English
Feel your pain.. Did that several times in my life and still have nightmares about that after 7 years. And Alex is absolutely right... they are trying to push you to ... You are correct, they must create a system where you can pay officially for a fast track
Not exactly. Indeed, this system induces bribes. But initially it was created to spread responsibility. Every person responsible for a small decision. And everybody together responsible for whole result. But in the same time, we know that "everybody responsible" = "nobody responsible". Systems like this created to avoid responsibility! Or at least minimize it to smallest possible level.
@@00pingvin00 "without knowing any road rules"? what? this video is solely about a medical certificate. knowledge of road rules is checked by electronic test and a driving test upon first obtaining a license
Well it could be an easier way to weed out conchies when the draft comes up, Soviet style , so nobody can pull the wool over their eyes ,they have their medicals from their application to drive.

I dont understand why you need a blood test and psycho test for a driving license? I have never seen this in any other country. Maybe they want DNA test, and family history and what else? lol
@@tentimetex Exactly the same requirements in most post-Soviet countries and countries of the Eastern Bloc (or were earlier). Why were such requirements introduced? In the USSR, there was very strict control over people, the population did not have weapons, and the simplest weapon that could be used to assassinate or terrorize party members was a car. For this, a psychiatric test was carried out. A blood test is done for the presence of drugs. And since cars in general were not readily available to most people for a number of reasons and were a luxury, then for a relatively small number of people taking such tests after the problems with getting a car did not seem like such a big problem after all. As for family history, then here you are not far from the truth. When people were hired for important positions in the USSR, family history and origins were really seriously studied, as well as ties with the bourgeoisie and living in occupied territories during the Second World War, etc.
@@tentimetex Well, the disscussions about changing this system has been going on for at least 10 years. But so far, lawmakers have too many other problems. In this particular case, I would not say that this is only corruption. Rather, it is such a wild mixture of old traditions, idiocy and only to some extent corruption. By the way, despite all these strict medical requirements, most people do not take these tests in a hospital, but in a driving school. There it is, rather, a formality, and in fact there are no tests at all (or a medical certificate is simply bought for money). So there are much more drug addicts, blind, deaf and crazy drivers on Ukrainian roads than in any other country, lol.

Reminds me of Asterix and Obelix trying to get a permit in a town hall. I usually do not write comments like this, but the doctor‘s eyes at 34:45 are the most beautiful I have seen in a long time.
Just for your information, there are a lot of places, where you can do it in 1 hour and get all required documents. And you don't need to do it each three years.
@@JohnnyFD As you mentioned, you can do it in a private clinic. Or, as I did once, there's these a bit shady companies that can give you the med certificate in like 20 minutes for some cash, you can find them all round the web :)
@@JohnnyFD Getting a driver's license in Portugal is also a painful experience but I don't think it is as bad as this nightmare you have just experienced.
@@JohnnyFD google bruv, pay like 300 hryvnas and get docs via nova poshta the next day, poor Mongolian warlord got stuck doing it the official way hehehehehe, but thank you for the content, was rofl'ing hard))))
It's strange to see queues, although I'm from Ukraine. It seems that the reform has bypassed Kyiv. We have an electronic queue in the west of Ukraine. Signed up. Came at the specified time. It's been a couple of minutes. Profit.
Johnny, I recommend you to consider this adventure on other way: you did not spend 4 days for nothing, you explored other side of Ukrainian life being unknown to you so far. That's life! I had to discover the Swiss hospital recently and it was unpleasant experience: unefficient and DAMMN expensive!
I got my drivers license in Ontario Canada in the 1970s. When I moved to Belgium in 2000, I was not allowed to exchange my Ontario Canada drivers license for a Belgian one because there was no bilateral agreement in place at that time (Yanks could simply exchange licenses). So, my only option was to take 12 hrs of drivers lessons from an official driving school (I had already been driving in Canada for 20 yrs!), take a written test on rules of the road, and take a driving test with a Belgian tester (both had to be done in French or Flemish, I did mine in French). I passed the tests and was issued a Belgian drivers license which is permanent and NEVER expires. I still have it 21 yrs later.... now live in Spain and still use it.
Increasing employment for petty bureaucrats and medical staff. It's just on a different level to your home country. Imagine all the hoops everyone jumps through to start a business, buy or rent property, open a bank account. In the UK it's called ' Jobsworth' - Jobsworth, Jobsworth, It's more than my job's worth, I don't care, rain or snow, whatever you want the answer's no, I can keep you waiting for hours in the queue, and if you don't like it you know what you can do.
@@rmwgroup3465 Honestly, I think a lot of this seems to be advantageous to the individual. Of course you could accomplish all of these tests in one day with some planning, but the opportunity to get a full body check would be something many americans gained from. I would assume this "once every three years" is more of a publich health issue than just for drivers license alone.
I wish they did a psychological test for driver's license is in the United States that's a brilliant idea there's so many psychopaths and idiots that somehow get a driver's license.
great episode Johnny...great way to see how the bureaucracy works in order to get a driver license in Ukraine. I had earwax clogged up my ears so much I couldn't hear properly. They tried with water at the doctors office, it didn't work. I instead bought an oily liquid at the drug store for the purpose. Had it in my ears for an hour. Flushed it out with water easily. A real relief
Congrats on getting your certificate Johnny. 🎉🎉 Honestly this was stressful watching you go through all the rigorous process. It’s even stricter than in Qatar where I applied for a license. But I’m glad everything worked out.
Hey Johnny big boy! STOP complaining for 3 days! You are lucky! Imagine I was 18 years old back in 1988 in Moscow went for a mandatory regular checkup and they imprisoned me in a chest infection hospital establised in 1804 for 1 year and 3 months..!!!!!!!! At the end of 15 months I learned the Russian language PERFECTLY, argued with the Director, cops came etc.. and got FREEDOM hahaha
@@Asptuber Hey! No actually long story that was USSR, when or if you sneezed in a public transport the Babushkas would start yelling at you to go home and rest to recover instead of infecting everyone haha All Asians and Africans have a spot in the lungs due to the climatic conditions and mild pollution. So did I and there was a German gentleman too who came for an athletic meet and landed up in that same hospital for 8 months haha 1 from Bangladesh, 1 from India, 1 from Nigeria, 1 from Ethiopia and 1 girl from Namibia the rest were Russians coughing and spitting 24/7 hehe It was amazing though the food was CRAPPPP, newspapers sheets for toilet paper rolls hahahahaha
I feel like I could find my way around those buildings after watching this video. You were lucky to get an English speaking psychiatrist. Sounds like they wanted to see if you could stay sober for 72 hrs to confirm the psychiatrist findings.
Since a soviet times obtaining driver license was huge corruption stream- all those efforts +time +money spent on those exams could be replaced by single cash payment (bit higher in then official payments) As a Ukranian I was stunned how fast you could obtain driver license in US (medical test is in DMV office and its only vision test - :o) Unfortunately medical exams its just beginning - next theory of driving exam, with 160+ road signs and lot of crazy obsolete stuff. Good luck Jhonny and I wish that driver license videos could get in bigger media to bring attention to this problem, most people here in Ukraine don't realize how easy it could be(like those in a hospital queue)
When I was in Russia it was exactly the same, everything was painfully slow and inefficient. It reminds me of the days before computers, they do have computers but it's as if their computers have no network connection. Everything needs to be stamped 😩🤯
Ukraine Our bureaucracy is disappearing. Can you in your country have in your phone, electronic passports and other documents "digital versions of a driver's license, registration certificate or student ID" Which have the same weight as paper or plastic documents? Or can you open a business via your smartphone in 15 minutes? Can you clear customs a car through a smartphone? Can you change your place of residence via your smartphone? Get additional help for workers? Submit a petition? Pay taxes? Change driver's license via smartphone in 15 minutes? Get a COVID certificate that will be accepted in all European countries and so on. In 1-2 years, Ukraine will fully provide all government services through the website or smartphone.
@@serhiizaitsev2702 yes we can do all these things. Honestly I can't remember the last time I went into a government office, most things are now handled online or via smartphone apps. I have never seen anything like flying in Russia, Internal flights are run more like a bus service. Flights are often delayed and for reasons that I can't understand they like to change the gate so large groups of people move around the airport together like a flocks of geese. Recently when I was going home my internal flight was delayed so long that I missed my flight out of Russia which ment I needed to experience the joys of extending my visa. (Same bs and cost 15,000₽ for 24h) I love Russia but certain things I find very challenging. How can a country like Russia be so seemingly unorganized? It just makes no sense to me 🤯😂
@@tommyt4062 In which country do you live that your passport in the application is an electronic passport, equal to paper or plastic? Ukraine became the first country to do so quite recently.
@@serhiizaitsev2702 my passport is not electronic and honestly if the Ukraine is the only country to implement this then frankly this is useless. how do you cross boarders if no other country uses or is equipped to use this system? I wasn't looking for a conflict but I also don't see your point. This to me is even more strange, you say the Ukraine has all these systems but simply chooses not to use them, instead you prefer to waste 3-4 days to renew your driving license when you could simply do this online?
@@tommyt4062 How can a Ukrainian passport in a smartphone be useful in other countries? It is useful internally, where you need to provide a passport, I can simply open the application and it will have the same weight as the plastic id. It also goes like a driver's license, student ID, etc. As for updating the rights, I can do this in 15 minutes, it is done through the application ruclips.net/video/nAPYnioAIDs/видео.html
The nice thing about watching this on RUclips is it takes you a week to do this but it took me less than an hour to get the same experience LOL Cheers Johnny
There's no bureaucracy in Ukraine - it's called corruption. Normally people just buy(bribe) any document they need(price is chipper than your time). There's other option - go to private medical organizations. They have modern processes and compete in the world medical tourism market. Otherwise you'll have to waste your time on low salary workers in soviet buildings - it's mostly for those who don't have money and enjoy conversations in queues...
I had to get a medical done for a pilot's license here in the USA. The whole procedure took less than an hour, including waiting. No blood tests, no psychiatrist exam. Just saw one physician and we were done. Good for 3 years.
I'm an American living in Russia. Never had my ears cleaned in the US. Had one ear get stopped up, my wife dragged me to a Doctor here and for a few rubles, I sat in the most intimidating chair I've ever seen, next to a glass display cabinet of what looked like hundreds of medieval torture devices... It was absolutely amazing though. Guess my ears hadn't been so clean since I was a child, lol.
Ex Navy diver here. Spent a long time in waters all over the world and in the cold waters of Japan. It does not by itself give rise to excessive ear wax but constant exposure to cold water can cause excessive bone growth in ear canal called exostoses (surfers ear). That is something you may wish to have examined later.
Wow. An American is experiencing soviet bureaucracy! Form 083/o was invented in Soviet Union and still exists in many post soviet countries! The real torture. People usually don't go to state clinics for that but go to private ones where you get this form within 1 hour or less
I just bought my "B" driver license in Ukraine. I didn't even have to go anywhere in order to get one. All I did was just I handed over 285 American bucks to some guy who brought both the driver license & exam certificate to me a couple days later. I've never ever used that driver license in Ukraine since then though.
@@elenandco , It's been quite a while ago so I've no contacts left and I'm not in Ukraine any longer either. But even if I had ones I wouldn't share them the way you want for obvious reasons. If you're in Ukraine it doesn't seem to be a big deal to find someone there who would help with getting a driver license bypassing examination cause I believe a half of licenses circulating there were obtained in that way.
That's unreal. When I lived in Germany my US drive license got me an international license (thru AAA) which was accepted. I did manage to get a ticket via camera though.
Had my ears cleaned by Dr. once and he pumped a syringe full of water and peroxide into my ears and then sucked the stuff out , it was really nasty looking stuff in the pan but no pain or anything . Amazing how well i could hear afterwards .
That country goes to crazy extremes just to get a liscence you think they'd be more worried about your driving skills etc related to rules of the road.crazy.good luck
Hey Johnny, Thank you for such great content. I'm a big fan of yours now, after seeing you in one of the Bolds videos. :) On a side note, you don't need to get that medical certificate every three years. Once you get a driving license, you won't need to do anything until the driving licence expires (it's valid for 50 years). Update: actually, I just looked it up and found that in Ukraine, we do need to get a medical cert once in 10 years for anyone < 55 years, once in 3 years for anyone between 55 and 75 years, once in a year for poor 75+ guys.
Congratulations!!! I'm exhausted just watching you go through all that, only to find out you could have cheaply bribed someone to accelerate that whole ordeal?!?!?!? aarrgghhh! 😆
You'd think with all those tests Ukraine would have the best drivers however I've watched those car crash compilations on TV and they say otherwise...lolol
Hi Johnny, in answer to your ear wax question, my doctor explained that most people's ear canals form to be "self cleaning" when we wash. But some people's ear canals are not formed that way. So wax can build up. The doctor has cleaned mine a few times over the years by squirting warm water in with sustained gentle pressure from a big syringe-type cylinder while you hold a cup under your ear and possibly needing to pull out loosened pieces with a tiny scoop between syringes. Takes a few minutes. Works great. That said, since I began showering instead of bathing, I've not had any wax build up at all! P.S. the doctor also said, "NEVER use those cotton-tipped swabs to remove wax because they are more likely to pack it in instead." Hope that helps.
Epic video Johnny. I'm astonished that they allowed you to film inside the building. What incredible bureaucracy, and the one thing they never tested was your ability to drive a car ! I can't believe that Ukrainians go through all of that every three years.
Man I went to a mouth nose and ear doctor once here in Prague. He was checking my ears and said AHH, WAIT HERE MY PATIENT! He wheeled over this cart with some steel platters on it. Went to one hear and stuck this metal Probe down it deep and pulled our some pieces of ear wax. Then he went to the other ear and told me" I HAVE A NICE SURPRISE FOR YOU"!!! Stuck that probe down so deep started scraping away was so deep the back of my throat was itching then PLOP was like opening the cork off the wine bottle he threw down this slug alien which was huge and shinny black had hair in it too was the grossest thing i've seen in my life I screamed in terror while he was laughing. It was fing Knarly wow! He said it was at least 40 years of my life. That day I left his office I'll never forget as to how well I could hear out of that ear,. It was like a bionic ear Steve Austin 6 million dollar man i could humm that song. Felt so light in that ear! It's been 8 years might be time for another visit.
Some hospital in remote locations have private company attached. This company do not care about vision check etc. - you just pay money and get your paper. Is it better?
HOLA Johnny, Here Panama's step is a blood test, a psych test at a doctor's office, inside the Transito building is a multiple-choice written exam, 10 road questions in Spanish, eye, color, and a hearing machine test. Depending on the lines total time consumed is about 1-2 hours. Renewal is every five years if under 70 yrs., over 70 every two years. Uber and a bike the Ukraine would be mine transportation including turkey and other locations.
I suppose one way to look at it is their system provides employment for plenty of people. And, you got to follow that awesome nurse around for several days, you can't complain about that!
In the netherlands. Its just a government website for everything with having a test at a government controlled test centre. Then renewal is again with that government website and then its done. Eaven abroad tho then it goes true a consol or embassy.
Are these people taking a week off from work to get their drivers license? In the US most people only get one week of vacation a year. They would spend that entire week getting their drivers license. That’s the bad part about the US, only getting a week of vacation. That’s the inhumane part of the US. Other countries are better about giving their citizens more free time away from work.
For an initial issue of a Russian drivers licence you need to ensure the medical documents remain valid and if there is a long gap between medical exams and actually passing the driving test (particularly if you fail on the first attempt), you have to renew some of the medical tests. I saw this on Yeah Russia.
Blood test for a driver license? Seriously? Here in the Netherlands passing the exam is probably (next to Germany) the hardest in the world. However once you have passed the exam, getting the driver license is so easy and efficient. You just take the passed exam card + photos + ID to your city hall, where you don’t have to wait more than 10 minutes (because you can book an appointment) to arrange the paperwork. After 3-5 working days you can pick up the finished license. I have recently heard of an American who got her dutch driver license and was pleasantly surprised at how easy and efficient is was. When this is the norm it is hard to understand why it is so hard in other countries. Seeing the rest of the video it really feels like this is to create as much jobs as possible. INSANE! Here our drivers licenses are valid for 10 YEARS, after which it is just a very simple process for renewal that only takes two short visits to the city hall. Only when you become 75 here in the Netherlands do you need to take a medical examination to renew your license. And if the driver license expires when you are 74 you need to take a test at 79 year old. This could have been a novel by Kafka, the people who designed this need to go to a psychiatrist themselves!
so you choose hard mode for geting driver licence. I'm sure bcs if corruption you can buy it without going anywhere except to the police department. But ofc it's can be trouble for you bcs of camera in you hands and bcs you are foreigner. And yeah it's like a paid service (not official service ofc) when a nurse takes you to offices, or even walks and receives all the certificates for you or even without you. And yes, they deliberately make it difficult, so than later for money to simplify it. That is why corruption everywhere. Also if you said from very beginning at clinic what you need health check for driver licence and that you want to pay 100-150$ for they do it faster, they will also did it for one two days without you. Also as I know for International driver licence you should pay some extra money - which is equal to Geneva Convention on Road Traffic (1949). It's temporary for 3 years, you can get it with local Dr.L. probably or after you'll get local. But with local driver licence you can use it in countries that assign Vienna Convention on Road Traffic (1968). - what means that local Dr.L. you can use almost in whole EU. And it's given for 30 years - not for 3. But for beginners it's temporary for 2 years, with some limitation for speed. Also we have national mobile app Дія - in which you can see your documents online and there you can renew some of you document like Dr.L. If you had Privat card and some UA docs it should be available for you. Also for army in UA it's 18 month without university graduating and 12 month for those who had bachelor, specialist, or master diploma.
In Cambodia it use to be really easy just show them your license from the country your from and they'd give you a license. Now, you can only get a license if you're a resident. Get a letter from your community office saying you live here. Then do a written test and a driving test, oh and medical is just an eye test. But your Cambodian DL is good for 10 years. Total cost less than $100. I use to just use my Canadian license, but it expired and you can only renew it in person.
My 76 yr old dad has to get his ears cleaned like that, once a year. He has been doing it for about 25yrs now. But try those beeswax ear candles. Seriously. . They actually really do work really really good.
My son gets a lot of ear wax build up. He has had to have them flushed a couple of times. It is not a routine thing to do here in Canada, but he had trouble hearing out of one ear and we discovered lots of wax. Now before we fly i have his ears checked to see if they need a flushing

Yeah and do not forget about the whole price of DL, yours costs 30 and an UKR one is 400 bucks/
Basically, the dude could have come to any private clinic (there is one about every 1km or even less ), pay about 50 bucks and get all his medical tests as passed after 10 minutes, just formally visiting 2 doctors without any checks. That's what everyone , including me did when getting the driver license. But he probably wanted to have something to show in the video, so it's ok.
Probably left over ways from the soviet era
In bureaucracy system like in Ukraine you should speak a lot with people in queue, and you always meet a guy who for extra 500uah will solve your problems
They really should get rid of all those unnecessary medical tests.

⭐ Considering everything you went through, you showed an amazing amount of patience!
It's not the first time or the second time, it's the third time when it starts to bug you out :)
If you didn't need a shrink before you begin driving over there, you'll need one after you do.
🤣🤣🤣
😂😂😂
Wearing a Rick&Morty shirt might not be the best reference on passing the shrink test
Hi Johnny! With the large incidents of road rage in the United States, it wouldn't be a bad idea to have US drivers meet with a psychologist every so often.
Agreed!
So true!
completely agree. then again I'm european
Anyone that is allowed to drive a huge metal death trap should be mentally tested, not just one country lol. psychologists aren't going to help people that think what they do is acceptable anyway sadly enough.

I grew up on Chicago a d never waited more than maybe 20 minutes. Maybe I'm lucky. All the places people complain about me we seem to be a problem for me. The post office, etc. Then again I always know it can be much worse so maybe it's mentality. If you expect a 2 hour wait at the DMV maybe that is what the universe will give you.
@@alexnoor7689 No, you're wrong. In Ukraine 30$ is for medical tests and papers only. The course itself costs about 200$ (including fuel). Also, if you do everything right from the first attempt, then you have to pay something in addition for paperwork, about 15$. So, in total, it would be about 250$ at least (in reality, I think it could be more expensive, up to 300-500$).
If you had said you're gonna see some Soviet Mosaics along the way...I'm sure Bald would have just hoped along with you 😁😁
LMAO 🤣 🤣🤣
From a lot of these videos it seems like Ukrainians are very friendly and chill. They don’t really mind that you’re filming and the people that work in those places seemed to easy going and to joke with you. It’s definitely now on my bucket list.
In America, they get all pissed off if you film at any business. I have seen them threaten to call the police on RUclips.
@@aerialhorizonrc7827 Here in Germany, you can barely film on the street before somebody feels targeted and comes up to you and starts gobbling like a turkey.
Often, Ukrainians don't like being filmed at their workplace. And in his free time from work, he almost always does not mind recording on video.
Well, I am sure that Johnny informed them to allow to film. If somebody from a government facility is really filing a complaint against a foreigner then yes you may lose your rights to extend your residence card. They have the power to do, and you can't do anything about it, that's reality bro. Btw I'll make sure I'm updating my drivers license from my original country, because for sure I don't want to lose that.
@@teceffect9826 According to the law of Ukraine, the work of all government agencies is open. They may ask you not to record, but they cannot complain.
Sorry for my bad English
Feel your pain.. Did that several times in my life and still have nightmares about that after 7 years. And Alex is absolutely right... they are trying to push you to ...
You are correct, they must create a system where you can pay officially for a fast track
Not exactly. Indeed, this system induces bribes.
But initially it was created to spread responsibility. Every person responsible for a small decision. And everybody together responsible for whole result.
But in the same time, we know that "everybody responsible" = "nobody responsible".
Systems like this created to avoid responsibility! Or at least minimize it to smallest possible level.
Think positive. They take driving so seriously they subject candidates to Navy Seal-like examinations!!!
They have to justify all the charges they can collect from people to get the driving license 🤦🏽♀️
actually you can buy it, without passing anything.
even being insane or drug addicted, without knowing any road rules.
@@00pingvin00 "without knowing any road rules"? what? this video is solely about a medical certificate. knowledge of road rules is checked by electronic test and a driving test upon first obtaining a license
@@Slavdya and what you want to tell me that I can't buy driver licence without passing any exams? Ofcourse it's illegal but it is posible
Well it could be an easier way to weed out conchies when the draft comes up, Soviet style , so nobody can pull the wool over their eyes ,they have their medicals from their application to drive.
Johnny "The Mongolian" Sins going through RIGOROUS Ukranian medical tests in order to recieve his drivers license. What an absolute LEGEND!
New scene: Johnny learns how to drive a car 🤣
I love this guy. Im not sure why but he just emanates great energy
Funny because my energy definitely wasn't' the best during these 4 days. 😂
It's like online game quest 🤣 20 years ago we had almost the same in Lithuania, now everything much easier.
now you just need a 💉 every few months and an app
Lucky people
Johnny! Very much for sharing us this video. It shows how polite these ukrainian people are. It is a really nice culture. I love your content!
Glad you enjoyed it!
Imagine if Bald went with you to the psychiatrist, and he recognizes him from his videos in Bolivia...."you are okay, but this man is insane!"
L O L !!!
😂👍
🤣🤣🤣
Either insane or a genius...
@@simonescelsa There is a fine line between the 2.
As a Ukrainian, I can tell you that even for me this is insane (what I have seen on this video). Also the process can vary in complexity in different cities, towns, hospitals etc. Basically, someone can get all medical tests much faster and easier in local autoschool (but more expensive). But Johnny went the bloody (literally) long way.
I dont understand why you need a blood test and psycho test for a driving license? I have never seen this in any other country. Maybe they want DNA test, and family history and what else? lol
@@tentimetex Exactly the same requirements in most post-Soviet countries and countries of the Eastern Bloc (or were earlier).
Why were such requirements introduced? In the USSR, there was very strict control over people, the population did not have weapons, and the simplest weapon that could be used to assassinate or terrorize party members was a car. For this, a psychiatric test was carried out. A blood test is done for the presence of drugs.
And since cars in general were not readily available to most people for a number of reasons and were a luxury, then for a relatively small number of people taking such tests after the problems with getting a car did not seem like such a big problem after all.
As for family history, then here you are not far from the truth. When people were hired for important positions in the USSR, family history and origins were really seriously studied, as well as ties with the bourgeoisie and living in occupied territories during the Second World War, etc.
@@tataroma4900 Oh! thanks for the insights! that's really interesting :-) but are they not working on changing that now?
@@tentimetex Well, the disscussions about changing this system has been going on for at least 10 years. But so far, lawmakers have too many other problems. In this particular case, I would not say that this is only corruption. Rather, it is such a wild mixture of old traditions, idiocy and only to some extent corruption.
By the way, despite all these strict medical requirements, most people do not take these tests in a hospital, but in a driving school. There it is, rather, a formality, and in fact there are no tests at all (or a medical certificate is simply bought for money). So there are much more drug addicts, blind, deaf and crazy drivers on Ukrainian roads than in any other country, lol.
Basically, the dude could have come to any private clinic, pay about 50 bucks and get all his medical tests as passed after 10 minutes, just formally visiting 2 doctors without any checks. That's what everyone , including me did when getting the driver license. But he probably wanted to have something to show in the video, so it's ok.
Reminds me of Asterix and Obelix trying to get a permit in a town hall.
I usually do not write comments like this, but the doctor‘s eyes at 34:45 are the most beautiful I have seen in a long time.
Nice nurse footage! I wouldn't mind following them around for a few hours!
& sniff them like vacum cleaner.
Just for your information, there are a lot of places, where you can do it in 1 hour and get all required documents.
And you don't need to do it each three years.
Tell me where please!
@@JohnnyFD As you mentioned, you can do it in a private clinic. Or, as I did once, there's these a bit shady companies that can give you the med certificate in like 20 minutes for some cash, you can find them all round the web :)
@@JohnnyFD Getting a driver's license in Portugal is also a painful experience but I don't think it is as bad as this nightmare you have just experienced.
@@JohnnyFD google bruv, pay like 300 hryvnas and get docs via nova poshta the next day, poor Mongolian warlord got stuck doing it the official way hehehehehe, but thank you for the content, was rofl'ing hard))))
@@Papa_Baphomet yup that's why the people on SADB always asks incompetent drivers if they bought their license LOL
It's strange to see queues, although I'm from Ukraine. It seems that the reform has bypassed Kyiv.
We have an electronic queue in the west of Ukraine. Signed up. Came at the specified time. It's been a couple of minutes. Profit.
Johnny, I recommend you to consider this adventure on other way: you did not spend 4 days for nothing, you explored other side of Ukrainian life being unknown to you so far. That's life!
I had to discover the Swiss hospital recently and it was unpleasant experience: unefficient and DAMMN expensive!
Explain please
I got my drivers license in Ontario Canada in the 1970s. When I moved to Belgium in 2000, I was not allowed to exchange my Ontario Canada drivers license for a Belgian one because there was no bilateral agreement in place at that time (Yanks could simply exchange licenses). So, my only option was to take 12 hrs of drivers lessons from an official driving school (I had already been driving in Canada for 20 yrs!), take a written test on rules of the road, and take a driving test with a Belgian tester (both had to be done in French or Flemish, I did mine in French). I passed the tests and was issued a Belgian drivers license which is permanent and NEVER expires. I still have it 21 yrs later.... now live in Spain and still use it.
Johnny. When you do small things like get coffee, tell us what the price of things are in Ukraine.
Increasing employment for petty bureaucrats and medical staff. It's just on a different level to your home country. Imagine all the hoops everyone jumps through to start a business, buy or rent property, open a bank account. In the UK it's called ' Jobsworth' - Jobsworth, Jobsworth, It's more than my job's worth,
I don't care, rain or snow,
whatever you want the answer's no,
I can keep you waiting for hours in the queue,
and if you don't like it you know what you can do.
Johnny FD, Bald and Bankrupt, Harald Baldr, and Simon Wilson collaboration would be EPIC!
Harald would bring whoppers
yes yes and gongo
Oh man, this is torture, and I'm just watching it. I feel they do all this just to keep people busy and paid.
And also get a full body check while you wait for a Driver's License.
@@rmwgroup3465 Honestly, I think a lot of this seems to be advantageous to the individual. Of course you could accomplish all of these tests in one day with some planning, but the opportunity to get a full body check would be something many americans gained from. I would assume this "once every three years" is more of a publich health issue than just for drivers license alone.
I wish they did a psychological test for driver's license is in the United States that's a brilliant idea there's so many psychopaths and idiots that somehow get a driver's license.
Go move to a communists country then.
They should do one on every high school graduate and remove all the psychopaths from society for life. Half the worlds politicians would be out.
@@brianredban9393 ukraine isn't communist yank.
great episode Johnny...great way to see how the bureaucracy works in order to get a driver license in Ukraine. I had earwax clogged up my ears so much I couldn't hear properly. They tried with water at the doctors office, it didn't work. I instead bought an oily liquid at the drug store for the purpose. Had it in my ears for an hour. Flushed it out with water easily. A real relief
Congrats on getting your certificate Johnny. 🎉🎉
Honestly this was stressful watching you go through all the rigorous process. It’s even stricter than in Qatar where I applied for a license. But I’m glad everything worked out.
Hey Johnny big boy! STOP complaining for 3 days! You are lucky! Imagine I was 18 years old back in 1988 in Moscow went for a mandatory regular checkup and they imprisoned me in a chest infection hospital establised in 1804 for 1 year and 3 months..!!!!!!!!
At the end of 15 months I learned the Russian language PERFECTLY, argued with the Director, cops came etc.. and got FREEDOM hahaha
Wow. Did you have TBC? But 15 months seem quite excessive.
@@Asptuber Hey! No actually long story that was USSR, when or if you sneezed in a public transport the Babushkas would start yelling at you to go home and rest to recover instead of infecting everyone haha
All Asians and Africans have a spot in the lungs due to the climatic conditions and mild pollution. So did I and there was a German gentleman too who came for an athletic meet and landed up in that same hospital for 8 months haha 1 from Bangladesh, 1 from India, 1 from Nigeria, 1 from Ethiopia and 1 girl from Namibia the rest were Russians coughing and spitting 24/7 hehe

@@bobbyrehman5197 Thank you. Fascinating story.
I feel like I could find my way around those buildings after watching this video. You were lucky to get an English speaking psychiatrist. Sounds like they wanted to see if you could stay sober for 72 hrs to confirm the psychiatrist findings.
Since a soviet times obtaining driver license was huge corruption stream- all those efforts +time +money spent on those exams could be replaced by single cash payment (bit higher in then official payments) As a Ukranian I was stunned how fast you could obtain driver license in US (medical test is in DMV office and its only vision test - :o) Unfortunately medical exams its just beginning - next theory of driving exam, with 160+ road signs and lot of crazy obsolete stuff. Good luck Jhonny and I wish that driver license videos could get in bigger media to bring attention to this problem, most people here in Ukraine don't realize how easy it could be(like those in a hospital queue)
When I was in Russia it was exactly the same, everything was painfully slow and inefficient.
It reminds me of the days before computers, they do have computers but it's as if their computers
have no network connection.
Everything needs to be stamped 😩🤯
Ukraine Our bureaucracy is disappearing. Can you in your country have in your phone, electronic passports and other documents "digital versions of a driver's license, registration certificate or student ID" Which have the same weight as paper or plastic documents?
Or can you open a business via your smartphone in 15 minutes? Can you clear customs a car through a smartphone?
Can you change your place of residence via your smartphone?
Get additional help for workers? Submit a petition? Pay taxes? Change driver's license via smartphone in 15 minutes? Get a COVID certificate that will be accepted in all European countries and so on. In 1-2 years, Ukraine will fully provide all government services through the website or smartphone.
@@serhiizaitsev2702 yes we can do all these things.
Honestly I can't remember the last time I went into a government office, most things are now handled online or via smartphone apps.
I have never seen anything like flying in Russia,
Internal flights are run more like a bus service.
Flights are often delayed and for reasons that I can't understand they like to change the gate so large groups of people move around the airport together like a flocks of geese.
Recently when I was going home my internal flight was delayed so long that I missed my flight out of Russia which ment I needed to experience the joys of extending my visa.
(Same bs and cost 15,000₽ for 24h)
I love Russia but certain things I find very challenging.
How can a country like Russia be so seemingly unorganized? It just makes no sense to me 🤯😂
@@tommyt4062 In which country do you live that your passport in the application is an electronic passport, equal to paper or plastic? Ukraine became the first country to do so quite recently.
@@serhiizaitsev2702 my passport is not electronic and honestly if the Ukraine is the only country to implement this then frankly this is useless.
how do you cross boarders if no other country uses or is equipped to use this system?
I wasn't looking for a conflict but I also don't see your point.
This to me is even more strange, you say the Ukraine has all these systems but simply chooses not to use them, instead you prefer to waste 3-4 days to renew your driving license when you could simply do this online?
@@tommyt4062 How can a Ukrainian passport in a smartphone be useful in other countries? It is useful internally, where you need to provide a passport, I can simply open the application and it will have the same weight as the plastic id. It also goes like a driver's license, student ID, etc. As for updating the rights, I can do this in 15 minutes, it is done through the application

Johnny Congratulations,you've made it to stage 2 👏😆
Johnny, your patience is awesome! Love your sweater! Great video..thanks man.
This was halarious you go looking for the phychiatrist and on the sign it says massage therapist. Lol
You'd better not mention "Soviet" in Ukraine all the time. It is like "Nazzi" in Germany, I guess.
Maybe testing like this is the way forward! Here in the UK it would prevent soo many accidents
The nice thing about watching this on RUclips is it takes you a week to do this but it took me less than an hour to get the same experience LOL Cheers Johnny
You actually CAN go to the private clinic and pay for all this and have your form for 2 hours. We have this option)))
And how would he know that ? 🤦🏽♀️
Johnny, I laughed so much during this video. Thanks for sharing your 4 days trapped in a inefficient maze.
There's no bureaucracy in Ukraine - it's called corruption.
Normally people just buy(bribe) any document they need(price is chipper than your time).
There's other option - go to private medical organizations. They have modern processes and compete in the world medical tourism market.
Otherwise you'll have to waste your time on low salary workers in soviet buildings - it's mostly for those who don't have money and enjoy conversations in queues...
I had to get a medical done for a pilot's license here in the USA. The whole procedure took less than an hour, including waiting. No blood tests, no psychiatrist exam. Just saw one physician and we were done. Good for 3 years.
WOW. I'm an older, getting blind, been in accidents and all I have to do is log on line and pay. I can relate to that system (I shouldn't be driving).
I'm an American living in Russia. Never had my ears cleaned in the US. Had one ear get stopped up, my wife dragged me to a Doctor here and for a few rubles, I sat in the most intimidating chair I've ever seen, next to a glass display cabinet of what looked like hundreds of medieval torture devices... It was absolutely amazing though. Guess my ears hadn't been so clean since I was a child, lol.
Great video Johnny! I hope to see you in Canada 🇨🇦✌️
Getting all those documents is probably harder then the actual driving test hahahaha
Actually no - it was easy part. Toughest is ahead
Ex Navy diver here. Spent a long time in waters all over the world and in the cold waters of Japan. It does not by itself give rise to excessive ear wax but constant exposure to cold water can cause excessive bone growth in ear canal called exostoses (surfers ear). That is something you may wish to have examined later.
In Germany you need to do a first aid course and an eye test. After that you can do the theoretical exam and the practical exam.
And it only costs you about 4000 euro.. Bargain 👍
Wow. An American is experiencing soviet bureaucracy! Form 083/o was invented in Soviet Union and still exists in many post soviet countries! The real torture. People usually don't go to state clinics for that but go to private ones where you get this form within 1 hour or less

I just bought my "B" driver license in Ukraine. I didn't even have to go anywhere in order to get one. All I did was just I handed over 285 American bucks to some guy who brought both the driver license & exam certificate to me a couple days later. I've never ever used that driver license in Ukraine since then though.
@@elenandco , It's been quite a while ago so I've no contacts left and I'm not in Ukraine any longer either. But even if I had ones I wouldn't share them the way you want for obvious reasons. If you're in Ukraine it doesn't seem to be a big deal to find someone there who would help with getting a driver license bypassing examination cause I believe a half of licenses circulating there were obtained in that way.
That's unreal. When I lived in Germany my US drive license got me an international license (thru AAA) which was accepted. I did manage to get a ticket via camera though.
Had my ears cleaned by Dr. once and he pumped a syringe full of water and peroxide into my ears and then sucked the stuff out , it was really nasty looking stuff in the pan but no pain or anything . Amazing how well i could hear afterwards .
😱

That country goes to crazy extremes just to get a liscence you think they'd be more worried about your driving skills etc related to rules of the road.crazy.good luck
Hey Johnny,
Thank you for such great content.
I'm a big fan of yours now, after seeing you in one of the Bolds videos. :)
On a side note, you don't need to get that medical certificate every three years.
Once you get a driving license, you won't need to do anything until the driving licence expires (it's valid for 50 years).
Update: actually, I just looked it up and found that in Ukraine, we do need to get a medical cert once in 10 years for anyone < 55 years, once in 3 years for anyone between 55 and 75 years, once in a year for poor 75+ guys.
Congratulations!!! I'm exhausted just watching you go through all that, only to find out you could have cheaply bribed someone to accelerate that whole ordeal?!?!?!? aarrgghhh! 😆
This video is almost addictive for some reason! :)
It's like a quest .
You'd think with all those tests Ukraine would have the best drivers however I've watched those car crash compilations on TV and they say otherwise...lolol

Hi Johnny, in answer to your ear wax question, my doctor explained that most people's ear canals form to be "self cleaning" when we wash. But some people's ear canals are not formed that way. So wax can build up. The doctor has cleaned mine a few times over the years by squirting warm water in with sustained gentle pressure from a big syringe-type cylinder while you hold a cup under your ear and possibly needing to pull out loosened pieces with a tiny scoop between syringes. Takes a few minutes. Works great. That said, since I began showering instead of bathing, I've not had any wax build up at all! P.S. the doctor also said, "NEVER use those cotton-tipped swabs to remove wax because they are more likely to pack it in instead." Hope that helps.
Loving your content Johnny!!
Epic video Johnny. I'm astonished that they allowed you to film inside the building. What incredible bureaucracy, and the one thing they never tested was your ability to drive a car ! I can't believe that Ukrainians go through all of that every three years.
Use the stick part of a bic pen cap to clean your ears. It scoops out the wax instead of compacting it which a q-tip does.
already subbed but liked the vid and thanks for the content johnny. @17:00
NO THE REST OF YOU LETS SHOW THIS MAN SOME SUPPORT!!!
Man I went to a mouth nose and ear doctor once here in Prague. He was checking my ears and said AHH, WAIT HERE MY PATIENT! He wheeled over this cart with some steel platters on it. Went to one hear and stuck this metal Probe down it deep and pulled our some pieces of ear wax. Then he went to the other ear and told me" I HAVE A NICE SURPRISE FOR YOU"!!! Stuck that probe down so deep started scraping away was so deep the back of my throat was itching then PLOP was like opening the cork off the wine bottle he threw down this slug alien which was huge and shinny black had hair in it too was the grossest thing i've seen in my life I screamed in terror while he was laughing. It was fing Knarly wow! He said it was at least 40 years of my life. That day I left his office I'll never forget as to how well I could hear out of that ear,. It was like a bionic ear Steve Austin 6 million dollar man i could humm that song. Felt so light in that ear! It's been 8 years might be time for another visit.
Some hospital in remote locations have private company attached. This company do not care about vision check etc. - you just pay money and get your paper. Is it better?
HOLA Johnny, Here Panama's step is a blood test, a psych test at a doctor's office, inside the Transito building is a multiple-choice written exam, 10 road questions in Spanish, eye, color, and a hearing machine test. Depending on the lines total time consumed is about 1-2 hours. Renewal is every five years if under 70 yrs., over 70 every two years. Uber and a bike the Ukraine would be mine transportation including turkey and other locations.
I suppose one way to look at it is their system provides employment for plenty of people. And, you got to follow that awesome nurse around for several days, you can't complain about that!
In the netherlands. Its just a government website for everything with having a test at a government controlled test centre.
Then renewal is again with that government website and then its done. Eaven abroad tho then it goes true a consol or embassy.
Johnny stop making these videos, I'm hooked!.Watch every minute of them,so addictive.
My mom has to have her ears professionally cleaned about once every three years. Some people build up ear wax others don’t.
Are these people taking a week off from work to get their drivers license? In the US most people only get one week of vacation a year. They would spend that entire week getting their drivers license. That’s the bad part about the US, only getting a week of vacation. That’s the inhumane part of the US. Other countries are better about giving their citizens more free time away from work.
Thank you, this was funny. I have not laughed so hard in a long time.
I'm glad one of us got a laugh out of it at least. =)
If you have ever seen driving there you will wonder where all the training went. Brutal drivers. No holds barred no rules whatsoever.
That's because driver's school bribe is so common that it is almost mandatory.
My father just turned 84, is almost deaf, and has dementia. He got his licence renewed in 20 minutes last week.
OMG. Crazy. What country was that?
They all look very busy. I would say that the interrogation/work project is doing just fine.
For an initial issue of a Russian drivers licence you need to ensure the medical documents remain valid and if there is a long gap between medical exams and actually passing the driving test (particularly if you fail on the first attempt), you have to renew some of the medical tests. I saw this on Yeah Russia.

Blood test for a driver license? Seriously? Here in the Netherlands passing the exam is probably (next to Germany) the hardest in the world. However once you have passed the exam, getting the driver license is so easy and efficient. You just take the passed exam card + photos + ID to your city hall, where you don’t have to wait more than 10 minutes (because you can book an appointment) to arrange the paperwork. After 3-5 working days you can pick up the finished license.
I have recently heard of an American who got her dutch driver license and was pleasantly surprised at how easy and efficient is was. When this is the norm it is hard to understand why it is so hard in other countries.
Seeing the rest of the video it really feels like this is to create as much jobs as possible. INSANE! Here our drivers licenses are valid for 10 YEARS, after which it is just a very simple process for renewal that only takes two short visits to the city hall.
Only when you become 75 here in the Netherlands do you need to take a medical examination to renew your license. And if the driver license expires when you are 74 you need to take a test at 79 year old.
This could have been a novel by Kafka, the people who designed this need to go to a psychiatrist themselves!
that reminds me so hard on the asterix & obelix adventure for the specific yellow paper in the offices.. ;)
*Great Video ,thanks for sharing Johnny* 👍 💪
so you choose hard mode for geting driver licence.
I'm sure bcs if corruption you can buy it without going anywhere except to the police department. But ofc it's can be trouble for you bcs of camera in you hands and bcs you are foreigner.
And yeah it's like a paid service (not official service ofc) when a nurse takes you to offices, or even walks and receives all the certificates for you or even without you.
And yes, they deliberately make it difficult, so than later for money to simplify it. That is why corruption everywhere. Also if you said from very beginning at clinic what you need health check for driver licence and that you want to pay 100-150$ for they do it faster, they will also did it for one two days without you.
Also as I know for International driver licence you should pay some extra money - which is equal to Geneva Convention on Road Traffic
(1949). It's temporary for 3 years, you can get it with local Dr.L. probably or after you'll get local.
But with local driver licence you can use it in countries that assign Vienna Convention on Road Traffic (1968). - what means that local Dr.L. you can use almost in whole EU. And it's given for 30 years - not for 3. But for beginners it's temporary for 2 years, with some limitation for speed.
Also we have national mobile app Дія - in which you can see your documents online and there you can renew some of you document like Dr.L. If you had Privat card and some UA docs it should be available for you.
Also for army in UA it's 18 month without university graduating and 12 month for those who had bachelor, specialist, or master diploma.
In Cambodia it use to be really easy just show them your license from the country your from and they'd give you a license. Now, you can only get a license if you're a resident. Get a letter from your community office saying you live here. Then do a written test and a driving test, oh and medical is just an eye test. But your Cambodian DL is good for 10 years. Total cost less than $100. I use to just use my Canadian license, but it expired and you can only renew it in person.
My 76 yr old dad has to get his ears cleaned like that, once a year. He has been doing it for about 25yrs now. But try those beeswax ear candles. Seriously. . They actually really do work really really good.
My son gets a lot of ear wax build up. He has had to have them flushed a couple of times. It is not a routine thing to do here in Canada, but he had trouble hearing out of one ear and we discovered lots of wax. Now before we fly i have his ears checked to see if they need a flushing
