Would You Trust A Doctor Dressed Like This?
A new study from the Society for Clinical Vascular Surgery came out recently and let’s just say… it wasn’t received well. The study aimed to identify “clearly unprofessional content” shared on social media by young vascular surgeons, such as HIPAA violations and criminal activity. Unfortunately, the study’s 3 male investigators also looked for “potentially unprofessional content” which included doctors posting photos holding alcoholic beverages and “provocative posing in bikinis/swimwear”. I was outraged by the gender bias in this study holding female doctors to a double standard, essentially saying if you’re a doctor or a woman in medicine you don’t get to enjoy legal activities such as having a glass of wine or taking a photo at the beach. I wasn’t alone, as the medical community on twitter came together with the hashtag #medbikini to denounce this study, and just the other day it was actually retracted by the journal. While that’s definitely a win, we need to continue to empower our medical professionals to live normal lives without fear of being authentic on social media, as it’s better for our mental health and truly helps us connect better with our patients.

Glad that ppl here agrees that the article was biased towards Drs😌. The ppl here are much.more sensible👍🏻
So what.....they are not allowed to have a social life?
Where can I find this... "#Medbikini" So I can be sure to.. ... avoid... such unprofessional self-expression!?
I support doctors’ rights to be e-thots!!
Wow. Grown adults drinking alcoholic??? Must be terrible.
I TOTALLY AGREE!! I know it's hard to believe but doctors are human too! They have ups and downs just like everyone on this planet but to say they can't post on social media or wear whatever they want to on their personal time is asinine!!! I'm so tired of these nameless faces judging people that they've never met or understand. People should live their own lives and keep negative comments to themselves. Pleeeeeezzzzzz!
The only time I would find this unprofessional would be if they showed up to the office like then, and even then I wouldn't mind receiving care from them
This is relatable to uniformed professions as well such as military
Where were you all this time 👏 I think I didn't find him all this time.
No matter what your profession is, all the people don't know about you. but one theing they know is your a human so having a good behavior is much more needed
Unfortunately, this is the same for teachers. I cannot tell you how many emails I get from the union rep reminding us to watch what we post on social media 🙄. Telling us not to live. 😬🤣
Women wearing bathing suits to the BEACH???!! Or the pool???? What next! Do these brazen hussies have no shame??? Wow, is it the year 1915 up in here? And it's totally ridiculous to ban a person in pretty much any profession from talking about politics on their own accounts because guess what? Politics have everything to do with our every day lives and jobs, that's interwoven into the fabric of our society and we all play a part, these issues aren't something that exist in a separate bubble that we can pretend have nothing to do with us. I've seen people in a vast array of professions have their social media accounts checked up on and questioned because they talked about things like social justice on twitter/facebook. Nobody has any right to try to control what people do outside of work on their own time. Human beings have every right to opinions about issues that involve all of us, whether we want to acknowledge it or not. People SHOULD be speaking out if something is wrong or unjust.
Very brave for those that post #medbikini. Too bad miss America got rid of bikini contests for thinking you can't be smart and wear a bikini
I am in Love with him.
Omg you’re at 6.38 M subscribers! Congratulations! And I can’t believe that this was even a study. Wearing something like a bikini doesn’t make you any less experienced to deal with patients or people in medical need.
lol i could feel his eyes rolling when he was talking about their definitions of "potentially unprofessional content"..... mmm this is gonna be interesting
It is so sad to see how far we haven’t come. It sadly is not just medicine, many in persevered by some members of society as male jobs, suffer too. Back in my twenties, 1st proper ‘researcher science job’ my degree had afforded me, i mentioned to my boss i was thinking of applying for one of the phd positions within the research centre we both worked for. It would mean for 3 years he would have my salary paid for by the grant instead of his budget. Win win. He looked at me dumbfounded. You’ll never get a phd looking like that, waving in my direction. i was wearing (like everyone) jeans & a tshirt when i looked at my clothes then back upto him confused he said ‘no i mean you’. He waved his hand towards my breasts & then did the hour glass shape then pointed to my face & told me i was too pretty & too ‘hour glass shape’ done again. He said i wouldn’t be taken seriously. i talked with my new work colleagues, some of whom were on the phd system, and they all said he probably did have a point. These comments can’t always be easily laughed off or overcome. The anorexia of my teenage years, (brought on by the attention i had gotten when i was too young to cope) & which had meant many months in hospital, came back with vengeance. After i crawled myself outta that hole again i never did the phd. But it is ok, txs to my anorexia they told me i had insanely low chance of having my own child. She is 15 next month. Phd or her? i am happy how my life turned out. To her the idea that someone can be judged by their appearance, sex, colour, sexual orientation just makes no sense. She first asked me to explain racism at about 8. She sat there saying no i dont get it. I tried to explain it again & again (i was getting tbh a wee bit frustrated) then i realised she wasnt saying she didn’t understand my explanation she was saying it sounded impossible that people would judge other people like that. i was first in my family to go to university, but i am more proud of myself that thanks to my input (and others ofc) my daughter thinks all the ‘isms’ are illogical & ridiculous, i am bit proud of her too, but you know its mainly me lol. Its the only way this is going to change educating the young & it is not just the schools job its ours too. Sorry wrote an essay but just in case one person reads this & says sod it i wanna be a Dr, a scientist, an engineer researcher even material scientists:-P its your brain that counts not your bra size. Sorry again.
Feel like this is a study to spark arguments and get "views" because of its own controversial statements rather than an actual scientific study. Clickbait studies are insane atm, more biased views than neutral views.
Im not even watching the video but my answer to the thumbnail is yes. I dont care what people do outside of the job.
how dumb! 😤can't you swim wearing coat 😑 and don't you dare remove your gloves while washing your hands its very inappropraite and unprofessional idiot doctors 😡🤬
I remember hearing about this on a FIstream channel called Philip Defranco, and his opinion was exactly what you said. that this study was very disrespectful to all medical personnel, and that this was very much sexist and a terrible way to weaponize social media to push there personal beliefs to shame people over there personal life.
this reminds me of when the guy denied Izzie Stevens medical care in season one of Greys because she was in the lingerie catalog
That was a power anecdote that Dr. Myhre shared. How was she able to go into such detail without violating HIPAA at all though?
Man you should do real medical content like this... fistream.info/work/videot/fJqtqrS6k5CVzmg
How dare nurses wear bikinis while swimming. They just should not. It’s almost bad for a women to wear a normal bikini when swimming outside of the office. (Don’t worry I’m kidding lol) just so that nobody starts a war in the replies.
Cognitive bias hits hard.
You are almost like justin russo from wiz of waverly place, growned up and started a channel..😂
It's funny when people want to dehumanize doctors because they are people lol.
Holding alcohol😂😂😂
People should be allowed to do whatever it is they want to do during their off time.
I went to the doctor with my bf we found on Zocdoc. She wore high heels, skin tight dress with sunglasses. While we were in the waiting room we saw her and asked each other do u think she’s the doctor I hope she takes off her sunglasses at least to look at your rashes. When we went in maybe u guys can guess it already she didn’t take off her glasses to look at my bfs rashes. The only point of us going was the rashes.... at the end she misdiagnosed him we had to go to another doctor to find out the reason why his fever kept coming back and with rashes all over his body. If I see a doctor who isn’t dressing professionally at WORK I wouldn’t spend my money on them. The worst of the worst was she prescribed some cream but when we went to the pharmacy they said that they didn’t receive anything so I called the doctor she told me that eclinical is only allow to send medication one time per day for each patient we would have to wait for the next day for her to send medication. I am in the medical field too. I never like my doctors knowing what profession I am in because I want to know the real them without any special treatments.
Dr. Mike.......READ THIS...... there's NOTHJNG WRONG with a female dr. Coming to the opporating room wearing a bikini, a g string OR lingerie for that matter
"Shaming women college's" oh God......here we go! GIVE ME A FUCKING BREAK! Jeeeesus ccccrrrriiiisstt people! IT'S A GOOD THING.....JESUS
Would I trust a dr. Wearing a bikini? YES,ABSOLTLY.....WHY, first off, they know thier job, so yes i would, second as long as they let me "eye them up", it's all perfect", come wearing a dr's med coat with iether a g string, a bikini or lingerie so i can have at least possative thoughts......YES, I think it's an excellent idea......as a matter of fact, I wish EVERY female dr or female nurse gave patients some kind words maybe even a hug or kiss on the cheek......would be gold! Medically speaking, im told any kind of possative reinforcement helps heal faster.......no better way then have a female show up wearing a g string, a bikini or lingerie before cutting you open.......im mean come on boys and girls, think about it! Your lieing on a med table about to be cut open for whatever needs to be fixed and your female dr. Shows you her body.......seriously.....talk about complements......start this now please
Disgusting. If you're not in scrubs all the time you are an unprofessional doctor
Wearing a bikini or a speedo is definitely unprofessional. Good thing she was at the beach, not somewhere that she needs to be professional, right?
Dr.Mike for President✊
If I came across my drs fb account and she was in a bikini holding a beer I’d be like “sweet she gets a weekend”. All good. As for social issues, that’s all good too. She’s highly educated, if anyone would have a well-considered opinion I’m sure it’d be my doc. And if she was spouting garbage- fine. As long as she’s not being an idiot in her practice
3:52, well you're right, im judging you hard. Bc you didn't offer me one :(
Alcohol is legal so how is it "potentially unprofessional"? What lmao. If they were at work, ok yes thats unprofessional. But why does it matter outside of work.
Whats unprofessional is what those 3 male doctors did. How you dress and what you do outside of work, has nothing to do with work unless you are harming your work space or those involved in it.
It's almost as though (cue shock horror) doctors have a life 😮😮😮
I've been told, as a female pediatric surgeon, that me taking my 4 and 6-year-old trick or treating and letting them eat candy was 'unprofessional'.
I would never post about race and gender if I was an influencer because ni matter what u say there will always be someone opposing what u say ur really brave in doing so 🙏🙏👏
RESPECT
Well if you ask me, if they aren't on the clock its none of my business. They have the right to some fun in the sun. Yes in a bikini! 👙
i like how no one is talking about his sweaty pits
101: Doc its a medical emergency! Doc: I'm at the beach, let me drive 45mins back to home and change and come save u. Researchists: Professional Doc indeed; score 10/10.
Wouldn't she get cold doing all of that in a bikini (or men in a swimsuit)? Most hospitals I've been in seem to be kept in the low to mid 60's
I hate it when people try to define a person's life by their career. They're allowed to do what they want in their free time as long as it's legal and not hurting anyone.
I saw a post a nurse made saying she wished Trump supporters would wear their MAGA hats all the time so she could be sure to not try her best to help them if they came into her hospital... regardless of political opinions.. you should help everyone!!
If they come to do surgery on me like that then no but if they wear they come dressed like surgeon or even a shirt and shorts am OK with it
kabir singh and arjun reddy left and rejoined the chat
Is this an issue in other first world nations.
We should be more aware of the so-called doctors who put the patient’s lives in harm just so they can have more money in their wallet than the ones who are living their lives because they aren’t working in the hospital/ clinic 24/7 are humans like us. People should be able to have some fun in their jobs. People do better in a happier inborn environment. Plain boring areas like hospitals, schools, and prisons don’t have a good impact on how a person learns our get better. A more vibrant, fun, and welcoming place does. Why else do you think States with prisons don’t do much but that little island center and places like that where people who committed crimes are scent to have a lower criminal rate.
Look, don't show up to my appointment drunk. I don't care what you do on your weekends. Keep your politics to yourself. And be honest with me. Don't try to be super polite if it's a lie.
Thanks for this video! You make it possible for people like me to stick up for myself and other health care professionals who are women!
About the surfing Dr. If a doctor could use a surfboard, urgent care, a helicopter, plane and fix me up with extensive surgery. I'm not going to remember what the doctor was wearing.
i don't trust
Would I trust a doctor wearing a bikini...will she be wearing it during my appointment? Probably yes lol
I think I saw that doctor's story on untold stories of the ER. She had a lot of controversy against her but she was amazing. I like seeing women being strong and still human and caring.
I am from Ukraine where our doctors are often drunk. My know someone whom was birthed by a drunk doctor.
They kinda create the elitist image with their ridiculously high salary, big houses, fancy cars, etc.
They have a free life to do what they want to, their contracts never say they can't do this
Unprofessional would be something like this: Patient: please, i need a hospital Doctor: cmon i know we gotta hurry but someone dislikes doctors in bikinis so i gotta change clothes real quick.
#clickbait
Only a couple minutes in but I am fed up with employers spying on employees social media. Employees are answerable to their employer when they are at work or in uniform outside work. Period, full STOP. Doctor, pharmacist, cashier, retail associate or factory worker does not matter. Our parents got to go home and be human beings, so are we.
I'm always confused what people do just to have someone to point their fingers at... even studies... and most people call themselves as superiour to animals... the master race... (not to mention that humans are part of the animal kingdom...) - remember biology: fauna and flora (not fauna, flora and humans) sadly humans in total are stupid as hell... and we are the only race that will manage to kill themselves and make their planet unable to live on... same with black lives matter... no no no... ALL LIVES MATTER... not only humans or part of humans... without keeping our environment at its best we will suffer... it started long ago and we know it (well some only think the only true value is money like a current president which I don't name here...)... and what do we do against it? nothing... just burn this world down and while we are at it create a lot of situations where we can look down on others to say "well they got it worse than we do"... without realizing we are all sitting in the same boat...
OMG! I don't know where this research was done, but in Brazil it is common to see doctors on the beach drinking beer. Even in the company of patients. My father is a doctor, I have a lot of medical friends and this is not a problem here.
I'm not a doctor, but I don't like having a photo taken with alcohol around.
Imagine dying on a beach surrounded by doctors that didn't help you because they weren't dress appropriately enough to save your life.
Dr. Mike how about your opinion about doctors who are trying to correct misinformation and educate people being sued for defamation of those people who are spreading misinformation?
This "unprofessional" is buttload level of hypocrisy🙄.
I'll be honest I could never have Dr. Mike as my doctor because he's too attractive to do any physical examination on me.
I don’t trust a doctor who doesn’t wear white robes 24/h a day.
Of course!!! Looks don't matter. If you are wearing a bikini, that doesn't change your profession. It is just a way of letting others see us in the public.
what do they want doctors to wear to the beach??? their pants? a whole freakin wet suit? no no no no I've got it... a nun's outfit 🤣
Drs are United states citizens and have every right to talk about social issues especially if an issue involves health risks to other people. However i dont see it as completely professional to talk about social issues while on the clock. Not trying to silence those that do its just an opinion. But if you have a patient you feel comfortable talking with about social issues then by all means go ahead lol
I was in a club once and a woman fell down from the stage and hit her head so hard it was bleeding. While the music stopped and people called the ambulance, one guy, a nurse, even though he was a bit tipsy, rushed in to help and provided immediate aid, potentially saving the woman's life. I don't know what happened afterwards as I left to clear out the dance floor for medics, but I think in many instances the help from any medical professional, even the ones being "unprofessional" is the difference between life and death.
I recognize ‘Doctor Bikini’ from a Tv show on discovery channel (if I remember correctly it’s ‘The untold stories of the ER’ )
Oh you're a doctor? You you can't drink
Hey bro stick to medicine
I thought this was going to be bs, but this is absolutely correct, and I think that this also applies to teachers and everyone else with what they can do in their free time.
My bathing suit is very modest (more modest then some of my day clothes), and yet I somehow always get asked why I'm NOT in a bikini. - When can women wear what they want?
Okay, I know this isn't the point, but shouldn't you be reassured if you're doc has an attractive body? I mean, because it just means that they not only know what they're taking about, but they live it. It's kinda like having a coach for a sport that's heavy set and appears inactive, and that always kinda makes them feel less credible. But if they're active and have healthy bodies, they come off more credible. Wouldn't that kinda be the same thing? Like, doctors shouldn't be punished for being attractive and confident because there is some kind of stigma that attractive people aren't smart. (Which is interesting because there is also a stigma on the opposite side, where someone who you find unattractive is often perceived as unintelligent as well. It's almost like people just want a strictly average-looking doctor lol)
Doctors are people too, it's incredibly stupid to try and stifle their personal life and opinions just because it might be "unprofessional." Doctors should be able to do whatever they want on social media as long as it isn't a HIPPA violation. However, that said, I dont think being a doctor makes you more qualified to speak on things not related to heath and wellness. Gun violence isn't a health topic, and while Dr. Mike is entitled to have his opinions and use his platform here to express them, his opinions on that topic aren't more valid than a non-doctor.
If I go on the beach - I'm happy to know that maybe someone who is wearing a bikini or any bathing wear may be able to come and help me or my closest if something happens! geez.
I am uber elated that you chose being great over all the noise!!! I've been a CNA for 28 years and I want out and up!!! You inspire me to gon' get my nursing degree so that I can become a nurse educator. Thank you!!! #Chicago
Where do you find these button ups? They are clean!
McDonalds worker who runs an onlyfans for a little extra cash: ok fair enough... Doctor who runs onlyfans for a little extra cash: 😱
Happy to find a indian going against this spying.
My OBGYN came back from vaycay and we talked about her awesome tan lines because she can tan while I fry. I felt more connected to her and comfortable around her after that conversation and didn’t care that she was staring into my soul via my cervix. 🤷♀️
Its so true, so many people feel uncomfortable when they go see a doctor because they are afraid they will be judgemental. If doctors become more relatable, more people are gonna feel ok to talk about "embarassing" but important things. Literally by being more human, instead of this fake perfect facade, doctors are saving lives!
Proud of you Doctor Mike
112k doctors liked it, 875 patients disliked it lol jk
Good bless those MDs who take the time to be healthier and fit! Shows patients a good example
I think doctors need more hugs, lets do a study on this
We shouldn't need an anecdote about saving a life in a bikini to understand that women in bikinis aren't inherently unprofessional.
Doctors aren't allowed to have a life?????
I know it's 2am. I know it's a school night. I know I'm ELEVEN. BUT I WANNA WATCH THIS VIDEOOOOOOO
