I never get surprised by things I hear😂😂

[juliannaferrell]

Dr. Youn's patient CLEARLY had anger issues

[LillySnw]

My friend told her doctor that she sees dead people, her doctor just responded with “how about we get you some help”.

[CaTastrophy]

From a psych buddy: "You're this close to becoming my 13th reason why" followed a few weeks later by a letter saying "You need to learn what a joke is instead of just shoving people in the loony bin"

[LianaVasile]

“I Googled my symptoms and I’m pretty sure I’m already dead.”

[Kaitepe]

"You are a Hatty Potter Peter Parker looking shrink."
You can't argue with the patient he's right 😂

[ragingdid]

The lack of self awareness from other people is shocking every time I’m reminded of it

[loriki]

Wow - the number of those doctors who had patients telling them that "Tik Tok Medical" was better than their advice 😮 YIKES!

[AlettaGomez]

As a Newfoundlander, we call everyone my dear, or me son, or something else like that...I've had a mainlander get upset at me saying I'm not her dear.... Let's just say, i tamed down my outport dialect around people I don't...

The plastic surgeon's comment about the unsatisfied patient was typical. I regulated doctors for over 4 decades, and elective plastic surgery patients are probably likelier to complain than any other patients. I don't know how many have Body Dysmorphic Disorder, but many seem to have grossly unrealistic expectations.

[hallief]

had a patient she saw poltergeists, I asked her to point where they were located, she pointed straight at the nurses desk 😭

[samgray]

That said, I did tell a doctor that they were wrong about functional neurological disorder, I told her that my symptoms resembled fibromyalgia or CRPS, and she proceeded to compare me to a drug addict. A year later a team of different doctors at Jefferson Med and Nemours diagnosed me with atypical CRPS.

[TheTexas]

If I’m ever Dr. Mike’s patient, I’ll say to him “Dan is my favorite person on your YouTube channel”

[adritisengupta]

Mike indirectly roasting the patients with a laugh and lot of humour is damn funny

[StunningModelDonnaDempsey-qq]

As a contractor, learning which prospective customers to avoid was critical. Some people cannot be satisfied by anything in the real world. Such as doing interior painting for someone who claimed to have “environmental illness”.

[thejavilan]

Dr. Mike, I really appreciate that you make these videos with other Docs and help get more eyes to the other physicians in this space. I don't think many people in your position would do the same.

[blastkohl]

As a nurse, I’ve had patients try to sexually assault me or say very sexual things towards me. One patient got fired and actually his doctor discharged him from the hospital because of this.
It would be nice if Dr. Mike addressed this issue too.
I know this happens to doctors too. It’s a problem in healthcare.

[mickelpickel]

My doctor just mumbles and sends me out of his office without saying anything

[ers_red_and_gold]

OH, I'm sorry, mistress. I mean, Dr. Sweetcheeks. 😭💀😭

[zayans]

The things these people say are absolutely preposterous; great video, Doctor Mike!
