Things I&#39;ll Never Do As A Doctor

I asked a bunch of different Medical Specialists what's the one thing that they would never do given the things they've seen in their specialty I'll go first I would never rush to muscoskeletal surgery I have a torn rotator cuff torn labrum all these issues but the majority of them can be treated with conservative management Physical Therapy maybe medications maybe injections do not rush to surgery unless absolutely medically necessary and that goes even more so for spinal surgery hello my name is Austin Chang and I'm an Interventional gastroenterologist one thing I would never do because of what I learned in my specialty is take a anti-inflammatory pain medication like moin Advil Al longterm Around the Clock indefinitely because that really wears away at the protective lining of your stomach it can cause ulcers and people don't realize that some over-the-counter medications can have effects like that if you keep on taking them without stopping them hi I'm Dr Dana and I'm a podiatrist which is Foot and Ankle Specialist and surgeon I would never ever put my feet on the dashboard while I'm riding in the car the airbag is under the dashboard and if it goes off while your feet are there you could get a severe injury hi I'm Dr Siobhan dashow although online you may know me as violin MD I'm a rheumatologist so I specialize in joints and autoimmune diseases as a rheumatologist I examine a lot of joints and I can tell you I would never wear high heels on a daily basis as special occasion is one thing but I've seen way too many women with bunions and toe deformities and foot pain no thank you I'm Dr Gary linkov I'm an ENT specialist with subsp specializations in facial Plastics and hair restoration surgery one thing I would never do having trained in head and neck surgery is smoke after you do and see a laryngectomy procedure and you see these patients living without their voice boxes and having to breathe through their throat and their neck I was diagnosed 37 that can be uh quite jarring and it takes time to get used to those patients and when you hear their stories and you see everything that they've gone through the last thing you want to do is ever pick up a cigarette hi my name is Dr Patel I'm a pediatric hospitalist if a child is hospitalized my people are on it I have a young child and based on what I've seen in the hospital I know what can happen to young children so there's multiple things I would never let them do like I would never let them swim alone or eat a choking hazard like uncut grapes small Tomatoes nuts seeds popcorn spend the night at a friend's house who has a gun or ever go out on a bike a snowboard or a ski without a helmet I would also never let them drink raw milk or drink or eat anything that is raw that I do not trust because I've seen some really bad cases of food poisoning basically I'm not going to let them do anything that I've seen kids get really injured by including ignoring serious head injuries God this list is long what's up guys I'm Dr Antonio web a board certified Orthopedic spy surgeon so here are two things that I would never do as a spine surgeon number one I would never ride a motorcycle and number two I would never play with fireworks I've seen too many accidents over the years and my hands they're critical they're precious I need them and I don't want to blow them up hello my name is Mauricio but everybody calls me Dr Ma I'm triple board certified in internal emergency and obesity medicine oh man I would never ever drink and drive and I would also never ever drive an ATV I would also never do woodwork without eye protection not that I do much woodwork to be honest hi I'm Dr glocken flecken I am actually a board certified opthalmologist I would never grind metal or do woodworking or be around any kind of projectile without safety GL glasses actually I just wouldn't be around those things just period but if I had to definitely not without safety glasses hi I'm Dr Reena Malik urologist and pelvic surgeon a urologist is a medical and surgical doctor of the genitor urinary tracts I would never shave my pubic hair if I was diabetic or imuno compromised if you nick your skin particularly in the genital region when you have really poorly controlled diabetes or your immunosuppressed that can lead Le to something horrible called fornies Gang greine and that's a rapidly spreading skin infection that requires emergency surgery to remove dead skin in that area so if you're in that situation throw out the razor hi my name is Ben Schmid also known as a doc Schmid and I'm a gastroenterologist also known as a GI doctor as a GI doctor I would never take a gut health supplement because there's really no evidence that they do anything the supplement industry is taking advantage of the millions of people with gut health issues who are simply looking for answers when GI doctors aren't always able to provide those answers patients turn to the internet for advice and get convinced to try an array of untested or unproven gut supplements that ultimately typically don't do anything except cost the money hi I'm Dr Brian boxer Walker I'm an opthalmologist AKA I surgeon I would never go outside without wearing sunglasses I see so much damage to the whites of the eyes for catx vular Generation there's so much bad stuff that happens from the Sun out there even on a cloud day where UV still comes through I still wear my sunglasses my name is Ricky Brown and I a board certified plastic and reconstructive surgeon for me this one's a no-brainer if any of you follow me on social media you've heard me talk about this in the past Contour threads are a big no and I would never do them they're little threads with barbs on them basically a Barb suture that people will use to suspend the face to kind of rejuvenate the face shy of having surgery now I'm all for non-invasive procedures but these Barb sutures that people are putting into the face face they're trying to do these Fox Eye threads where they do crazy things with the eyes and there have been some really serious complications with those threads the other thing I don't love about them is they don't last very long and they're very expensive that is one in my book that I will never personally perform my name is Jake Goodman and I'm in my last year of Psychiatry residency one thing that I would never do and I would advise anyone out there listening to take the same approach is to never take a recreational drug that is given to you by somebody telling you it's some specific sub substance I cannot tell you how many times I have seen accidental overdoses because someone thinks they're taking a drug some sort of stimulant for example but it ends up being laced with fentanyl which is an incredibly dangerous potent opiate that can lead to death and if you're ever in a situation where you're exposed to something like this I strongly recommend carrying around Naran or nxone which can reverse an opiate overdose my name is Dr Anthony Yun and I'm a board-certified plastic surgeon I'm a YouTuber and a podcaster as a plastic surgeon I would never do butt implants and I would never get butt implants now Dr Ricky Brown rumor I hear may have a good set of his own butt implants but in general I'm not a fan of these because honestly that part of the body is not the cleanest part of the body and you have to avoid an implant getting infected in addition there are risks of the implant moving out of place and honestly how would it feel like sitting on two firm kind of masses of silicone someday maybe someday flat butts are going to be back in style hey I'm Dr D basali a board certified dermatologist here in New York city so one thing I wouldn't do based on what I've learned in dermatology I wouldn't skip the sunscreen it's not just for preventing skin cancer which is most important but also anti-aging getting dark spots pigmentation issues texture tone pores all these things get worse and worse via more UV and sun exposure hello my name is Danielle Bardo I'm a cardiologist in Los Angeles California and I specialize in cardiovascular disease prevention as a cardiologist I would never follow a carnivore diet this diet primarily consists of animal products such as meat of all kinds organ meat fish and some allow for eggs and small amounts of dairy proponents of the carnivore diet claim various health benefits but it poses significant health risks especially for heart health the high intake of saturated fat in a carnivore diet can raise your LDL cholesterol and apop both of which are wellestablished riskk factors for heart disease increase that risk of heart attack and stroke hey everyone my name is Dr Sun janaa and I'm a hematologist and medical oncologist otherwise known as a blood and cancer specialist one thing I would never do because of my specialty is Skip screening the time that you're due for a certain screen based on the guidelines it's covered and you may be left with thinking should I have gotten something sooner should it show something bad I think trying in life to reduce the should I have or wi didn't eyes is very important both medically and outside of it as all all these medical doctors can tell you gaining subscribers is hard so here's the story of how I hit 10 million got my diamond plaque click here check that out as always stay happy and healthy [Music]
