Stealing Youtube Videos | Dr. Ed Hope

Listen to my podcast, @DoctorMikeCheckup, here:

Ed Hope is an emergency room physician in the UK and a popular YouTube creator who specializes in reaction videos to medical drama and medical memes. Funny enough... so do I. That was the source of some YouTube "beef" that emerged between us a few years ago. Ed made his way to NYC to come on The Checkup so we could hash things out between us and finally lay the issue to rest. We also debated the differences between the US and the UK's NHS healthcare system, and which specialty is better: EM or FM.

01:14 Our Beef
12:36 US vs. UK Healthcare Systems

So glad we didn't settle this in the boxing ring.

As a Canadian who watches both UK and US content, it was hilarious to see you both struggle with each other's humour styles 😂

[kristena]

As an American, I gotta say I would absolutely 100% let a medical procedure on me be livestreamed if it meant getting it for free from a qualified doctor. No hesitation.

[karenclover]

As someone who is extremely grateful for the NHS, I would stop paying the paper pushing bureaucrats extraordinary high wages and pay our doctors and nurses properly

[charissarathbun]

You definitely gotta respect Dr.Hope for keeping it raw and 100% about his feelings and emotions with everything in the beginning and still being able to communicate it all SOOO well.

Imagine if you were put in a room with everyone you’ve ever beefed on the internet, and had to fight them.

[DreamAsylum]

I've been waiting years for this rumble ... to be resolved in a reasoned and sensible manner by two mature professionals.

[jamiestryker]

As an American living in the UK, it’s fascinating to hear them discussing the differences in our healthcare. The NHS has been incredible for me, even if I have waited a bit at times.

[entershikarisim]

As a vet, it would be so interesting to see you sit down and have a conversation like this with a vet to compare your fields and studying!

[ShilohShepherdmom]

There's something so comfy and snug about that dark blue podcast room, two leather chairs, and calm conversation. A snug little hideaway in a harsh and crazy world. Thank you gentlemen for being the consummate professionals you are.

[krisd]

That hug from Ed felt so real man. Best way to settle a beef. Talking

[nataliedavies]

As a Brit in the US, I am familiar with the pro’s and con’s of both countries healthcare systems and it was so interesting to hear this discussed from a practitioner’s point of view. As a human being, how reassuring to see two individuals own their actions and resolve mis-communications with grace, empathy and humour, face to face. Loved it, good job guys.

[rossmandell]

This is why I respect both of these men. They are a perfect example of how an open dialogue between two people can not only serve as a method to address an existing conflict but also open the door to understanding and common ground shared by those who have dedicated large aspects of their lives to helping their fellow man. Good on ya Docs!

[bloodhunterr]

What baffles me as an ER doctor and Neurologist is how in my country(Bulgaria) healthcare is literally in the palm of your hands. Example - you go to the ER for whatever reason at whatever time of the day/night, a doctor(many times a specialist) examines you for free, free blood work, scans etc in the same day. And people are not only unsatisfied they give examples how our system is trash :D

[reliablevariable]

The fact that one of my doctors has to write "tumor" even though it is a "mass" so that my health insurance can cover the MRI is absolutely ridiculous. Also, no one ever told me that the labs also need their own copay! When the doctor sends my blood sample to a lab not covered by my health insurance, suddenly I have to pick up the bill!

[elagumdzic]

Two genuinely sweet, respectable doctors/people who are drama free. They both have a passion for their jobs, their fans, their communities and their artistry ( YouTube work). Much respect to you both!

[MDLGamingX]

It's nice to see Ed Hope here. He's the first doc youtuber I followed after doc mike. Still a fan to this day and still rewatch his reactions to Cells at Work as it helped me pass my biology class.

Recently here in Turkiye, I had consultations with 2 different doctors; upon hearing I give English lessons, they immediately started talking in English saying they are about to move to the UK and work within the NHS. When I asked them whether they were worried about the current NHS crisis, they both went ‘We are used to stress, hard work, being underpaid, but we desperately need peace (=‘huzur’) in our lives’. It’s sad for Turkiye, but great for the NHS I suppose.

[savvyladylondon]

I believe all the stories I heard about the desperate situation of the NHS. However, as a British woman, I have not been personally affected by this. From my perspective, the NHS has been absolutely astounding, from comunity midwifery /home birth care, whenever my daughter has been ill, everytime I've needed GP support, the input for my elderly mum & dad's geriatric care, and so on and so forth. I appreciate that the NHS doesn’t have fancy facilities, the possible mismanagement of funds & too many middle managers, plus of course having longer waiting times. But my God, overall, it is the remaining gem in Btitain. We pay for the service through our taxes and we should fight to death to keep it in place, (rather than go down the greedy, capitalistic American insurance/pharma route). My understanding is the number 1 reason for bankruptcy in the US is medical bills. Completely sickening. For me, it is the NHS all day long!

As someone who is disabled with many many health problems i am so grateful for our NHS and the hard working people in the NHS. Emergency as in deadly our hospitals are amazing. Saved my life 3 times. So thank you to anyone working in the NHS ❤
