If I ever become a therapist I'm going to use the line, "how insecure would you say you are, on a scale from one to blocking a dog on Instagram because his owner corrected you?"

[JamCliche]

"Didn't know we were on a first name basis" is th politest way to say, "There's a reason why I have this title before my name, and an oversight for why you do."

[corvusalbus]

As a child of two pharmacists, who have corrected their fair share of wrong prescriptions, or prescriptions given without properly considering other medication already taken, my eye starts twitching listening to that doctor

[TheSarah]

Don’t worry. His comment section is 95% people calling him out for his reaction to you.

[daniellebelisle]

Taking an oath to “do no harm” but then block other doctors who are trying to politely correct you, only to then double down, gives me the ick.

[ProfessorCapron]

I'm a professor of nursing and will be adding this to my lecture on atherosclerosis. Helpful way to get the idea across in another method (and warn about not trusting everything you see online).

[nickjman]

What an excellent way of politely yet firmly disagreeing in a public space. Linking to the vid of your own past mistakes at the end? Chef's kiss. 🎉

[Miya-zooh]

Him blocking you is a sign of intense immaturity. And the fact that he didn't even stop at blocking you, he went as far as to block bear, and multiple other people that disagreed or had any connection with you. That screams "Im immature and can't deal with being told I'm wrong."

[Uncle_Smidge]

"Didn't know we were on a first-name basis." is such eloquent SHADE

[minifloof_closeupfacesquad]

At 5:01 where the guy says these are prescription, in the United States yes. In other countries such as Colombia you don't need a prescription for most medication so if people from the countries where you don't need a prescription for medications see the other "doctor's" video, imagine the risks and side effects those people can have when taking those medications.

[radnerak]

I hate people that say "If you don't have nothing nice to say, don't say nothing at all", it's so counter argumentative.

[lisaleone]

Blocking someone, doubling down, and clipping out key parts of statements to make the other person sound bad... That guy is so jealous of Doctor Mike he can barely contain it.

[GeekWithMuscles]

Anyone that talks that fast can't be trusted... this reminds of people that think talking loudly will make their statements true. Dr. Mike I just discovered you and I have to say you're amazing... I have loved science my entire life, and while my spirituality is more in the metaphysical, science always takes precedent for me. Thanks for being you!

[estephanidelgado]

Dr. Mike you are the bestttt for correcting this. I have seen licensed doctors recommending medications to healthy people and not mentioning side effects. It’s so negligent. Thank you!

[DuckyTheFox]

"A doctor who graduated last of his class is still a doctor"
Is a very fitting saying for this guy

[MrElliottFish]

I'm a pharmacist and this hurts to watch. Medical misinformation and disinformation is absolutely rampant and the last thing we need is a doctor contributing to this and further harming patient health literacy. Great breakdown Mike, love your work.

[marissathomas]

Doctors who spread such dangerous misinformation should have them licenses suspended and they have to attend some type of class or something and then if the behavior continues, licenses should be YANKED ! This is absolutely dangerous and the fact he blocked you and multiple doctors including bear, goes to show he knows exactly what he is doing 😒

[miachn]

Do I understand what they are saying? No, do I love the drama? YAHHH 🤭🤭

[jewelsbycat]

I showed the video to my father, who is a pharmacist, and he immediately said no after hearing "sildenafil". Edit: I also work for him sometimes, and even though I've only worked for him on and off for about a year, I knew something was wrong with that statement.

[Copperyfoxx]

The biggest laugh I got was that guy going on “if you’re not gonna say something nice…”. I can’t imagine being a doctor, crying about another Dr “being mean” by correcting your dangerous advice. What a joke.
