Improving Medical Communication through Social Media
A big theme of my channel and videos is humanizing doctors and making sure that people see doctors as just another profession. Doctors are like accountants or lawyers or journalists. They are people that are doing a job. They want to do it as well as they can, but they are humans still. They do not always know the exact answer.
Medicine is a lot more complicated than I think a lot of people appreciate, and doctors make mistakes and sometimes are not sure what to do. I think the younger generation takes comfort in knowing that these are not just stiff figures dispelling medical facts and just going about their day. It is someone who wants to work with you, someone who wants to try to get you better, and wants your input.
It is important for patients to take some ownership of their healthcare too. If they do not understand, they need to chime in. If a medicine is too expensive for them, or if they have side effects that are keeping them from taking that medicine, they need to bring that up to the doctor.
