The first cooking with me video was a blast but I decided to step it up this time and try cooking sous vide. This is a cooking style that allows you to slow cook just about anything in a pot using a zip lock bag. I was fascinated when I learned of this cooking style and decided to try it out for the first time on camera! Try not to judge me too harshly on my weak cooking skills. I promise I'm striving to get better so constructive criticism is welcome!

There has been a lot of news covering a few Tik Tok videos made by medial professionals. They have been accused of having poor taste and even mocking patients. Some responses went as far as saying that Doctors shouldn't be on social media. I thought this would be a great opportunity to discuss this delicate subject and chat medical some!

Medical memes or Doctor Memes are a great way to get a laugh whether or not you are part of the medical community. I think that they are incredibly relatable as you can catch the humor even as a patient. I will say that some of the memes can be mean and if taken out of context can even seem rude BUT we need to understand that this is medical satire. Being able to laugh at ourselves and our troubles is a healthy habit to practice.

Originally, I did not want to respond to this press conference as I thought it would only bring more attention to the misinformation presented. However, after the quick spread of the video (even people in my hospital asked about it), I decided to film this quick response. Believe me, there were A LOT more flaws in the 60-minute presentation but I did not think nit-picking all the inaccuracies would be interesting or necessary. America certainly should begin the reopening process but it needs to be done in a smart & strategic manner without politicizing the facts.

This video was supposed to answer some of the lingering questions about COVID that you've had but I think leading with a much more important issue of the moment (of the generation) is mandatory. George Floyd should be with us right now. Countless others should be with us right now. It's a brutal reality that we must accept that we still have racism among us. It's disturbing that it took the loss of another life to wake us up as a community to these injustices. Let us all step up and be better all around. Let's call out when it happens, let's prevent it before it happens. Black lives matter.

I was scrolling through reddit today and came across this post saying I have “fatphobic tendencies”. This was really hard for me to read and caused me to take a critical look back at my previous comments regarding obesity, bariatric treatments, and diet recommendations (Keto, intermittent fasting, vegan, etc.) Our culture demonizes people for their weight, from rogue marketing pushing “ideal bodies” in media to a lack of representation for large bodied people on stage and on screen. That being said, I am a doctor, and my job is to help people live longer, healthier lives, and often those results can be achieved through a variety of tactics that will reduce the weight of people who suffer from obesity. It’s a fine line between helping my patients and making sure they don’t feel judged or criticized for the way they look, and I’m working hard to get it right.

I know I promised to upload a video today discussing the complicated issue of reopening schools this fall amidst COVID-19. Balancing children’s and faculty’s lives while trying to figure out how to best educate children is an extremely complicated issue, so I decided to take some more time to really make sure we get it right. I’d rather not race to be the first person to discuss an issue, but rather spend time to ensure my thoughts and message are helpful and based in only the facts.

For the last several weeks I’ve been researching the debate on whether or not we should reopen schools around the country when summer vacation ends in August. This is an extremely complicated issue with each side, open or closed, making very compelling arguments.

PLEASE make sure you watch the entire video before commenting, as this is an extremely nuanced topic and cherry-picking phrases without the whole context will create a destructive discussion as opposed to a constructive one!

A new study from the Society for Clinical Vascular Surgery came out recently and let’s just say… it wasn’t received well. The study aimed to identify “clearly unprofessional content” shared on social media by young vascular surgeons, such as HIPAA violations and criminal activity. Unfortunately, the study’s 3 male investigators also looked for “potentially unprofessional content” which included doctors posting photos holding alcoholic beverages and “provocative posing in bikinis/swimwear”. I was outraged by the gender bias in this study holding female doctors to a double standard, essentially saying if you’re a doctor or a woman in medicine you don’t get to enjoy legal activities such as having a glass of wine or taking a photo at the beach. I wasn’t alone, as the medical community on twitter came together with the hashtag #medbikini to denounce this study, and just the other day it was actually retracted by the journal. While that’s definitely a win, we need to continue to empower our medical professionals to live normal lives without fear of being authentic on social media, as it’s better for our mental health and truly helps us connect better with our patients.

I can’t quite believe it myself, but it’s true: 3 years on YouTube, 6 million subscribers, and over 600 million total views. While I might be the face you see when you watch a Doctor Mike video, I want you all to know that I’m not the only one who makes this thing happen. My shooter/editor, Dan Owens (@DanOwensCreative on IG) has been with me from day one and I truly couldn’t have done this without him. To celebrate the last 3 years and announce our Patreon venture, I sat down with Dan to play a version of the Newlywed Game where we reminisced about everything that’s happened over the last 3 years.

Friends was one of my favorite shows growing up, so much so that I can still recite entire scenes line-for-line!

Let’s take a look at how accurate these scenes were and see if Friends holds up 20+ years later!

There sure are a LOT of weight management tips across the internet, and after my research it appears finding the facts from trustworthy sources is harder than it seems.

Last year I played some of the worst medical games on the App Store. Turns out that since then, the bar has been lowered. I dove back into the maddening world of mobile medical games and was GREATLY disappointed in the results. Using steroid cremes to treat pustules, force-feeding cheeseburgers to children, rubbing a pirates stomach to alleviate gas? None of this is medically accurate. Also, why so many ads for malpractice lawyers? Are the children playing these games REALLY seeking legal representation?? WHO MADE THESE??

A few weeks ago I reacted to some TikToks and you were quick to point out that I featured one from Dr. Anthony Youn, a new YouTuber who’s been teaching us a lot about Plastic Surgery. I decided to invite Dr. Youn on my channel so we could dive into Google and demystify the practice, from sagging of breast augmentation to the controversy surrounding collagen. I learned a lot, including the fact that there are plastic surgeons who operate on dogs and cats! Maybe it’s time for Bear to get a facelift…

I sure did embarrass myself playing Sims a few months ago. I thought I’d dive into the game, poke around for 30 minutes, and I’d have quickly climbed the ranks to become a doctor. As anyone who has played Sims 4 before will tell you, I was sadly mistaken. Today I asked the hilarious Kelsey Impicciche, a Sims 4 pro, to show me the ropes and help get my house in order (literally). She showed how to create my dog, Bear, dress my Sim for success, and be somewhat functional in the hospital. I promise I’m a better doctor in real life! Get this video to 100,000 likes and I promise to upload myself AND Bear to the Sims server so you can use US in your game :)

Residents in my Discord have been asking me what my Myers-Briggs Personality Type Indicator is, and I didn’t know! So I sat down to take a personality test inspired by the MBTI philosophy and was… surprised by my results. There are several scientific problems with these tests which should prevent them from ever being used in making a major life decision. Some companies actually use these things to hire employees and structure their business, and that’s not something I can endorse. That being said, these tests are very fun and can be entertaining to take with friends or even provide you with some introspection if done with a professional. Let me know what personality type you are down in the comments!

I hope to set the record straight regarding the status of COVID treatments, and correct some wildly misleading yellow journalism. We can make it through this, but we have to be better.

I invited my friends Pam and Cody over to see if they could tell the difference between the food I cooked MYSELF, or food I bought from the supermarket.

I made five dishes: turkey burgers, peanut butter and jelly balls, green goddess salad, pesto pasta, and granola bars.

I’m very lucky to live a life where I get paid to do what I love, helping patients in my practice and around the world here on YouTube. As wonderful as that is, unfortunately, there are some costs. Today I wanted to open up and share with you some of the personal struggles I’ve had being a doctor in media, whether it be receiving disrespectful comments and questions from strangers to literally getting my identity stolen by hackers. Thanks to those of you who have always joined me in our mission to fight medical misinformation, and hopefully, you’ll continue standing by my side as we fight cyber bullying and judging medical professionals based on their looks.

I’ve finally found a way for all of us to do our part fighting COVID-19. I’m not just talking about distancing or wearing masks either. This COVID Symptom Study app is a tangible way for anyone with a smart phone and internet access to actively contribute in the fight against COVID-19. Log into the app once a day and report whether or not you are feeling symptoms so they can track what symptoms are popping up where. It takes hardly any time at all, It’s really that easy! I spoke to the app’s creator, Harvard Professor Dr. Andrew Chan, about how this app has made an impact already and what more they’re looking to learn. I promise if we get this app from 4.1 to 5 million downloads I will GIVE AWAY 10 free new iPhones. All you need to do is get the app to 5 mil and leave a comment below! Help us fight COVID-19!

Sunscreen, swimsuits, football head injuries (concussions/CTE), dogs and babies… the doctors on Reddit have strong takes on all of these things and so much more. I decided to look at a thread about practices medical professionals have started based upon things they’ve learned from their patients. Some of the advice is good, such as having an up-to-date will and the benefits of quitting smoking. Other things, such as making sure you pee before you get inside ANY car… are a little too much for me. At the end I also share 3 ways I’ve changed my life based on my interactions with patients, including thoughts on skin cancer and coffee and alcohol consumption.

Saturday Night Live premieres their new season this Saturday so I decided to take a look at some of the commercial parodies they’ve done for prescription drugs. Tina Fey, Amy Poehler, Dwayne The Rock Johnson… I was cracking up at these fake “direct to consumer pharmaceutical advertising” commercial parodies. Somehow the US and New Zealand are the only nations on Earth that permit this type of advertising directly people, which I think is such a strange practice. Seth Meyer’s slayed me with a sketch about a testosterone booster, Kristin Wiig cracking me up talking about having her period once a year, Chris Rock killing me complaining that he actually like Taylor Swift… SNL got these so right.

President Trump was diagnosed with COVID-19. Even though it’s been several days now, and we’ve known this was possible for months, it’s still so bizarre to read. Unfortunately, the tragedy of COVID-19 does not just stop at the infection of people like Donald Trump, but rather extends to the megaphones of our most mainstream media outlets. I’ve been in more Twitter feuds over the last week than I have been in my entire life on the platform, arguing with contributors to outlets like CNN, The Washington Post, and Fox News, among others. It seems to me that this virus and our political vitriol towards each other has caused us to lose all sense of logic and decency. From criticizing DO’s (Doctor’s of Osteopathic Medicine) for being inferior to asking doctors on TV to participate in “tabloid medicine”, I’m almost beginning to lose my cool.

Despite my years of medical training and experience, there isn’t a lot I know about what happens to the human body after it dies, so Caitlin enlightened me to things such as what happens to prosthetics, the smells of a mortuary, and what happens to your various orifices.

In this video we will be discussing EDS (Ehlers Danlos Syndrome), PCOS (polycystic ovary syndrome), and thyroid disease. As a family medicine doctor, I am regularly confronted by patients exhibiting symptoms of common ailments. Sore throats, acne, hair loss… all often explainable by a common condition. Sometimes though, I come across a series of common symptoms that when presenting at once can actually be diagnosed as a rare and incurable disease.

Honestly, I’m not a fan of the title of this show, but I decided to press on anyway and see if there was anything valuable to discuss.

His journey is nothing short of incredible, due in part to a supportive family, a strong medical team, bariatric surgery, and a commitment to improving his quality of life. Go, Casey!

Remember, just because a show is inaccurate doesn’t mean it isn’t an entertaining and fun show, it just means it fails the Doctor Mike realness-test. I also recognize this list is purely subjective, so if you disagree with any of my rankings please let me know in the comments below and let me know where you think these shows actually belong!
