100+ DOCTORS TELL YOU THE TRUTH ABOUT THE CORONAVIRUS: https://youtu.be/WhHfjsOl8Tc
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! Huge thank you to Sarah Mojarad for chatting with me about her findings and experience!

These are the mean girls in high school who become nurses
“I’m not the only doctor on social media making videos.”
No you’re just the best one
Yeah I had this experience during my first birth. The nurses laughed at me and didn’t believe that I was truly in labour because I wasn’t opening up fast enough for them. They were so rude and horrible. They walked out of the room I was in and between contractions I heard them joke between each other about how I was faking and how I had no idea what it would be like when I was in “real labour”. They mentioned several times that I was a first time mother.
I was in labour for 50 hours and in excruciating pain for about 36 of those hours. I passed out from the pain several times. My contractions were about 3-4 minutes apart for those 36 hours and they were visible on their stupid monitors but they still dismissed me. The 50 hours ended with an emergency c section where they found my child so tied up in her umbilical cord that the doctor told me that she was essentially “bungee jumping” for those 50 hours. The placenta was stuck somehow very high up under my ribs.
Makes me so angry thinking about this. If they lack that much compassion and are that stupid, how did they even become nurses!?
I am 17, a senior in high school and lost all motivation to go to school. Ever since I was about 9 years old, I have always been very passionate about being a Pediatrician, and unfortunately lost motivation in achieving that goal. Once I watch any of your videos it just brings me up and brings back every ounce of why I want to become a doctor and how much of a change I want to make and to just keep pushing. So, thank you !
You are literally the best human alive ….. I watch you when I want to get motivated or to know something useful 💖
We took my daughter to the ER for what we thought was a stomach bug. The nurse needed to take blood but my daughter was shaking from having rigors… the nurse told my daughter to stop faking several times. My daughter is actually lucky to be alive. My daughter was going septic and we didn’t know it. The nurse was a not helpful and wasted precious time. I really appreciate your thoughts in this video.
Almost feels like most doctors believe young people can never have any health issues :/
Mike, a literal medical professional: Don’t assume someone’s faking
Everyone on the internet making memes about 14 year old girls because they’re teenagers and hAvEn’T bEeN tHrOuGh eNoUgH to be depressed: impossible—
“We know when y’all are faking” is exactly why it took me 5 years to be diagnosed with a rare genetic disorder. I wasn’t faking, but so many thought I was just being a lazy 10 yr old.
Wait till the girls from my school become nurses you gonna have even more content like this
Can you imagine if teachers made tiktoks imitating students with disabilities or struggling readers, and posting them on social media? Completely unprofessional.
“Your supposed to be taking care of people, when they are in their most insecure moment, and when they are the most frightened”
*You dropped this -> 👑*
I have a friend. She was 20 years old, Rock climber, mountain runner, only drank water, like the perfect example of health. She had a full blown heart attack. She didn’t do drugs. Turns out she had a pre existing unknown heart defect that was hereditary. Yeah, young people can have heart attacks.
I actually thought the first video was kinda funny until I read the tweet…
Why are there dislikes…?
A week after my emergency c section my fever spiked and when I went to the Er, they hooked me up to an IV and disappeared for 5 hours. When the doctor finally stopped by my room he apologized because someone had passed away and he was dealing with the family. Which I understand but being left alone for 5 hours as a new mom who couldn’t breast feed her daughter was frustrating.
Also it turns out that no patient had died and he was infamous for avoiding patients. Filed a complaint and almost went to court over it.
“You just need to lose weight. That’ll help your chronic back pain.”
2 years later
“Oh sorry, you actually have a benign bone tumour in your spine.”
I was seriously ill for two years in high school – sleeping all the time because I was exhausted, hair falling out, gums bleeding badly when I brushed my teeth, couldn’t stomach food, couldn’t handle smells (my senses were all increased). Doctors constantly brushed me off left and right to the point that I got so depressed that I considered suicide. The only thing that kept me alive was the thought of my mother and brother. Soon after FINALLY a doctor gave me an ultrasound and they found a tumor on my bladder. Turns out I had a cancerous tumor rapidly growing on my bladder all of that time. After the removal, my anxiety was at an all time high. I couldn’t trust the medical system and I didn’t want to get sick again because I felt like if I did no one would help me. Ugh
One time when I was a kid I hurt my foot playing sports. When I went to the doctor I was complaining about how much it hurt and he mocked me basically calling me a wuss and said if it was as bad as I said then I wouldn’t have been able to walk on it. A couple days later my mom found me crawling to the toilet in the night because I couldn’t stand on it. Foot was so swollen it split my skin. It turns out my foot was very badly broken in 4 places and I was walking on it for days because, in my child mind, I didn’t want to seem like a wussy
