Questions You Have To Ask Your Sports Medicine Doc

THE evolution of sports medicine. Caring for the needs of health care professionals. Team practices with advance didactics. seamless intergration controlling the physical body mind and soul.

Another good question(s) to ask would be, “What will this do for me?”/”Will this make my life better?”
If possible, I would also advise getting a second opinion from other doctors, preferably if they are already familiar with or aware of your situation.

I have a long and complicated medical history and thus I’ve had many doctors over the years. Once, when going to see a doctor that was familiar with operating on me, I brought up an operation another doctor wanted to do on me. He proceeded to tell me it was a bad idea, why it was a bad idea, and gave me a long talk about asking questions like these. He also warned me that some doctors will operate simply to say that they did it, rather than for it being for the betterment of the patient.

I was fortunate enough to have a doctor that knew my situation and cared enough for my wellbeing to tell me I was making a mistake, and that opened my eyes. Not all doctors will go through the trouble to do that though, which is why it’s important that patients remember they have a say in what happens to them and whether or not it’s the best decision for them.

I’m considering following this same path. this sounds amazing!

this is my future job….thank you for putting a perspective of it for me!

I love ted talks����❤ youtube are u ok? No watch but 13 comments its funny����

i too, can’t wait for that sweet day. I can’t wait to expire. who wants to live to 120? I thank you, for having led-gable penmanship., and everything you does.

hi Im going to be a sports medicine physicians what bachelors degree do I need?

My excuse for watching (the whole vid:) is chemo brain. I’m not right in the head any more. Oncologists trying to kill me with poison; you know how it is lol. Haha. Cheers.

The part where he talked about taking away a spot from someone with cancer made me think of the movie Magnificent Obsession with Rock Hudson and Jane Wyman.

I pretty much asked these very questions when I was 13 in 1980 and having some moderate back pain. It started after the regional wrestling tournament where I wrestled 3 times on Friday, and twice on Saturday. I went to a Chiro who took some xrays, and suggested I go to a back Specialist as there was nothing he could do. These Drs wanted to use a Brass Hammer and Brass chisel to pound off boney growths I have on my vertebrae (all of them, they are winglike boney protrusions on all of my vertebrae). They (was a team of two back specialists) told me this operation was pretty much never been done before, they couldn’t guarantee any improvement and even said there was the chance they would have a problem and they could potentially sever my spinal cord if the chisel were to slip or they were to hit it a bit too hard. I really couldn’t believe what they were saying they wanted to ‘TRY OUT’ on me.
I literally told them they can ‘Practice’ on someone else, but I wasn’t really keen on their treatment plan.

They prescribed my 750 Percosets and away I went. I tossed the Percoset after 4 days due to the weird feelings and even more weird thoughts.
I went out and got a bag of Pot that weekend, and never went back to a “Medical Practitioner. walked out the door and never went to a Dr again, except when I was really ill one time, and it turned out I had pneumonia. Yes, I still have back pain, but I have not let it stop me in my life. I have worked as a Construction worker building million-dollar homes, roofing, drywalling. I worked in the Lumber Industry clearing electrical lines. I have worked as an HSD Technician climbing TV, Radio and Cell Towers. I was also an active working Musician who performed nearly every weekend for much of the 40 years I played music. I am now 53. I am pretty much as healthy as I was when I graduated HS, though I have smoked cigarettes for the better part of my life as well.
I am also still an Active Cannabis Smoker and am working on my 3rd time quitting Cigarettes.
I’ll never stop using Cannabis as it is the only substance that has EVER offered me any relief from my life long back issue.

Hi doctor I had a question regarding steroids Ana..I’m a 48 yo healthy male healthy living male.I’m would Iike to try steroifs my friend years ago did them for 18 years and he us still living ha☺are they as bad as media portray them?it’s frustrating to put so much effort and time not to mention money on protein to observation little or even zero results how hard is it to access these products as I only want to go the right Avenue if it is possible to do this ty for your time..

That “Orchard Walker” comment is the reason you’re cursed on plane flights.

1. Is this really necessary?
2. What are the risks?
3. Are there other options?
4. What happens if I do nothing?

Doctor: Congratulation, your wife is pregnant.

Me: Doctor, is this really necessary?

How about Doctors simply go through these questions themselves when they give you a diagnosis:s… 2:00 doctors salivating at the chance to operate regardless of the best course of action is NOT a great reason to give bad advice to a patient when they already have the answers they need…infact this should be considered malpractice smh.

This is the difference between surgeons and Medical therapists surgeons always tend to to think that operating is the best way whilst medical specialist who treat chronic conditions with medications tend to try that first. I refused surgery educated myself and went elsewhere for a less invasive treatment bu I am medical trained so i understood how to research other options

The questions:

Doctor, is this really necessary?

What are the risks?

Are there other options?

What happens if I don’t do anything?

ask your doctor always “what was the worst mistake you ever made during this kind of operation?”

This is such an important topic, both in countries with an extensive public healthcare system as well as ones with a privatized insurance-based systems. Reducing unnecessary procedures saves everyone’s time and resources. Just have to be careful not to dismiss patients who do need the procedures. I’ve already seen cases where the doctors are quick to prescribe supplements and exercise for everything. The micro nutrient hysteria is getting ridiculous. Also, if you’re a woman, they will usually start by making you take a pregnancy test, no matter what your symptoms are and whether you’re sexually active or even heterosexual. What a waste!

when someone asked about obscure treatment still in use, and i was shouting ‘fecal transplant! fecal transplant!”

That’s awesome you got your dream job! But what if it’s Notre Dame vs UConn in the championship game and Sue and Diana are in the building? �� lol jk that is pretty amazing of you. ���� ☘️

Weird therapy EST because we don’t know the mechanisms of action. Kind of like anesthesia 😉 Greetings from a colleague from norway

One question that doctors HATE being asked:
“Are you allowed to prescribe the opioids I need for pain following my surgery?”
Sadly, the opioid hysteria has led to many hospital boards prohibiting sufficient pain relief for patients. Malpractice insurance companies sharply increase their rates when doctors prescribe opioids, even for the most extensive, traumatic surgeries and difficult recoveries. As profits are impacted by insurance costs, hospitals and medical practices have begun sharply limiting pain relief for patients to save money.
Additionally, no doctor wants the Drug Enforcement Agency showing up in their office, confiscating patient records and accusing the doctor of running a “pill mill” if they prescribe what agents with no medical training decide is “too much” opioid-based pain relief.

Their excuse is the many people who are dying every year from drug overdoses. What they don’t say is that virtually all drug overdose deaths involve poly-drug abuse combined with excessive alcohol consumption. And illegal fentanyl extremely powerful and easily imported from China is responsible for almost every opioid-caused death!

One problem. My family and I have a history of being undertreated.

These questions will only favor the doctor’s pre-existing bias.

Want a freaking shoutout? Three steps: ��1. Like the video. ✌2. Share the video with someone.�� 3. Ask me a sports medicine question in the comment section. ��If we pick your question for a video YOU get a SHOUTOUT! ��Easy peasy!

Good for you! More great things to come! ���� We’re University of Arizona Wildcats. My son is 4th generation! Love basketball!

I’ve always thought of it like the ol bruce Springsteen song 2 hearts beat as one, so if maybe 2 fused together and shared lower valves?

Over here we fixed the problem of doctor’s handwriting by printing everything. Only their signatures remain illegible.
And if they need to write, they do it on pre-printed sheets with lotsa checkboxes

A Doctor should always use “the Grand Mother’s Test” when offering Surgery or another form of treatment to a Patient.. i.e would I offer this to my Grandma, my Son, or my Father, had they presented themselves like this patient….������

30:00 when you’ve been in the lab for 8 hours a day you become death yourself

Medicine us all about overtreatment and using treatment to cover a doc’S tuchas.

Nooooo there is no way we are gonna gloss over the fact that at 2:05 (the end of the apple question) you went to drink out of a camera lens…

34:57 That Burger King in Addenbrookes Cambridge is iconic. That was the first meal my mum ate after I was born

Just a few centuries ago I worked through the most difficult times of my life. THe pain from having to loss my father loss my significant campion and a diagnosis of lupus made for a spiraling effect of despair. MEdicine was my only work refuge. I had studied specific measures of different modalities. SAVING Lives was the directive. NOW I simple pray that GOD will give me answers to bionic measures of super humans. Testing zygote genes referencing medical journals and compassionate Acess for new treatment regimens. TodAy you calmed my mind with this presentation. THANKS

What is your thoughts on ibogaine? It’s got great reviews and a miracle for most who take it. I’m flying to Mexico next week to do the treatment. Was wondering if you’ve heard anything about it or had any experience with it before. Since it being illegal in the US you seem to be one of the doctors who understands why that is. (Big pharma )

Ask. Sure. But I’ve seen MANY Drs over my 48 yrs. and of the Dr.s I’ve seen, I would say almost 100% either lie because they want your money, or they were not taught in school how to Really Care about people’s health.

#5 did you wash your hands?
#6 how much is this going to cost me?
# Are you sleeping with your nurse?

1. Did you cut and paste your way through med school? Do you have a conscience? Are you refunded or paid by any drug manufacturer? 4. Why did you go to med school?

I participated in Student athletic training and now I really want to become a sports medicine physician! ����‍⚕️

Omg BRUH U NEED MORE SUBSCRIVERS I’M SHARING U EVERYWHRE I GO NOW

Hi Dr. Chris, I’m a high school soccer goalkeeper, and 5 months ago I dislocated my shoulder during a game. I had an MRI and my doctor found that the dislocation also tore my labrum. I had surgery 3 months ago, but the pain level has hardly decreased since then. It has been greatly interfering with physical therapy, school, sleep, and even everyday tasks, but I have gained range of motion through my physical therapy. I have been using heat to relax the muscles because they are always tight and often spasming, especially my bicep, tricep, and pec. Is this amount of post-operative pain normal after 3 months, and what should I do?

THANK YOU Dr Mjaset this really needed to be said. Not only unnecessary operations but too many unnecessary pills and medications. We are being drastically overprescribed. They are finally realising the damage that has been done by far to much antibiotics too.

Should I approach the doctor because I’m worried about doctors?

I remember the day I watched you video about holding your breath on Tom Scott’s channel.

A doctor buddy once said to me, “The problem with becoming a doctor, is than you have to be a doctor.”

I would love a video about the NHS. I am from France and in the first year of medecine (the only one I did) we had a course about healthcare system. I loved the UK one as I love many things from the UK. I lived a year in UK and had a really small glimps of what your system is like. I would like to know more.

What amazes me is that doctors don’t answer these questions and explain them to the patient anyway!

Anyone got some advice as to how to submit questions to be answered? Is posting questions in YT comments no good?

Can Coronavirus infect you through a cut? Can it infect any party of the body just as easily as it does the lungs?

They say you can get Coronavirus through your mouth nose or eyes, but at the same time they say you don’t have to worry about consuming Cronovirus, which (this is true) food come through your mouth.

You’re talking about responsible doctors…
I had an MRI that turned negative… later the doctor told me it was his first MRI ever, and that he wanted to actually see one.
P.S. It was the only money I had… It was my rent money ������ and believe me I asked… and his answer was… your life depends on it ������

Really enjoyed the talk, well done!! Many insightful points, so true about patient demands and requests for unnecessary tests and imaging especially in the NHS with the already scarce resources

if you’ve never fired a doctor, you either have a really good one or you’re not paying attention.

Thank you so much for this vid!! You are very enthusiastic and your personality fits this program so perfectly! Good luck in the rest of your journey:). I’m an IMG, recently thought of this career path and I’m very excited about it!! Its just that you look SO young to believe it, #dontgetmewrong.

“I can not wait for the sweet release of death” I thought you were gonna make a joke there but you really said what we’re all thinking.

Hi, if you’re reading this i would like you to know you are awesome, i found your channel recently and even though i know absoloutely nothing about medicine or health i really like your channel and think you approach your videos in a cool and laid back style that makes watching videos like this, 43 minute one actually fun, and not make me want to go do something else like most long videos do.

I would think that centaure have two hearts! Like the Doctor!

What is he trying to tell us? Doctors are greedy, money-motivated assholes.

How often do doctors prescribe specific medications or treatments for financial benefits such as bonuses, contracts with the company, etc.?

I’ve actually had this question discussed in a first aid post at 3:30 in the morning when we had no casualties where would you put the defibrillate pads for a centaur? And where would you listen for chest sounds? Or digestive sounds? Where would their kidneys or gall bladder be? Would they breast feed from the human or horse? I now can not stop thinking about colic…. I need to stop…

my dream job is to be a sports medicine orthopedic physician!!

As a sarcastic British person I wish to become like you, being a really sarcastic doctor would piss a lot of people off and I would love that

Also I have very heavy nosebleeds (more than 150ml) it’s weird to think that for a day I will have an almost full body, like a walking almost full pint glass

25:57 glad I subbed ��

My mom’s been a hospital pharmacist for decades. Plenty of horror stories, mainly calculations due to conversions…don’t you dare criticize imperial units…but yeah a 5 foot lady with no heart conditions is probably not 250 pounds so it’s a walk up to the floor to double check ��

I just found your channel and it really is a gem! I also want to be a cardiologist in the future as I am now a 3rd year pre med student, but who cares! haha take care brother!

I forgot how immensely funny this was, top form on this one!!

Nice video but plants definitely can get cancer…animalcentric alert although what else was I expecting.You can have mutant, faster dividing bacteria so I’m fairly sure saying all living things get cancer isn’t an untruth…although idk about really long lived tardigrades, those things are pretty immune to everything. Also I’m fairly sure doctors are more interesting than researchers, and it’s easier to explain as a job.

I really appreciate your mentioning of ECT and how it is a totally ethical and functional treatment in certain cases! I hate the stigma surrounding it.

“If you are still watching, get help” well I could but I’m going to watch the 200k subs one now. So maybe later?
Really loved the video, by the way! For someone who has spent so much time at the hospital and will be attending med school, your channel is a treasure!

One needs to invest 11 minutes of their time to get and understand the 4 questions:) Excellent presentation

maybe we should change the sentence to be like this to make it sound more polite “is there any ways that more easy?”

10:27 FREEDUMB UNITS FOREVER!

USA! USA! USA!

Edit: 13:27 I never see truck nuts made this way. Bothers the hell outta me every time I see a pair (of truck nuts)

Another edit: 20:35 we’re #1! USA! USA! USA!

Anyone still awake after that intro can tell me what were those 4 questions?

I just learned that balls aren’t symmetrical…. Mind. Blown.

so if I got it, 3 out of ten people wo ssked wheather the operation is necessary got the answer no?!!

Obscure medical treatment(ish): leeches! they’re used for plastic surgery and have something to do with venous blood supply….

You’re living the dream! Must have taken a lot of hard work to get there. Respect.

In Nepal, My first question:
“Did you pass your Medical test, or you just bought the certificate?”

Dream school and career as well. It’s so cool to have these videos!
