Follow Dr. Karan Rajan: linktr.ee/DrKaran
I was recently tagged and had sent a clip from an interview with Dr. Karan Rajan seemingly bad-mouthing chest compressions. Folks in my DMs and in my comments know how strongly I advocate for CPR, and they were eager to watch me attack this clip and fact-check Dr. Rajan. The thing is... I can't, because nothing he said was incorrect. That doesn't mean I'm not without my outrage though, as I believe this experience is emblematic of TikTok outrage culture and my core issues with that platform: the algorithm and audience is designed to highlight anger, divisiveness, and is breeding a culture I'm not enjoying being a part of. This has led me to wonder... should I stay?

Gg Doc..together monke strong! 🙌🏽
ok
Ayo it’s the man himself
I’ve already requested this in a previous video but would love to see you two collaborate to discuss differences between the American and British health services. I have a huge respect for both of you and think you both make social media a better place in terms of education and compassion but absolutely respect the decision to walk away from an app that causes so much unnecessary drama and negativity.
The two of you should record a video together
I was so scared when I saw the thumbnail- but great to see two of my favorite doctors are in unity!
As someone who still refuses to download TikTok, I 100% support you leaving that platform.
Same I have not downloaded TikTok
We're the last of us guys

I don’t understand how this ever became an issue in the first place. Dr. Karan said that the success rate for CPR was much higher in healthy, strong, younger adults, but with elderly people it’s much lower and even if it works it could just straight up be non-beneficial. You’ve said before that often times CPR breaks ribs, and I thought to myself “of course something with a high likelihood of causing injury in the process of saving someone would be less beneficial to an elderly person with a weakened ability to heal!” And his explanation also made sense because of course no heartbeat would starve the brain and cause brain damage! It doesn’t make sense how people misinterpreted this as “CPR bad” because that’s not what it is, it’s about how CPR *can* save a life but it’s also not a miracle worker!
This!! You can be sued for causing injuries during CPR, that's why you *should* be certified if you're going to do it spontaneously.
I 100% agree with this, but the people who originally complained probably won't listen because they're the same type of people who constantly look for stuff to be mad about.
Social media is making our patience worst. You can see that in cases like this when people hear and immediately respond instead or hearing, listening, thinking, researching and responding. They leave that part to the people their responding too. Like all those comments, they could have easly got the answer to their questions by simply thinking and researching but no, they chose to leave that work to Doc.
The people who are “failing” to understand that CPR is a great thing, even if it isn’t always successful or causes other damage are missing the point for a simple reason: they don’t care about understanding. They want to cause strife and make useless arguments for clout or because they’re spiteful people, rather than spend time to get informed. They don’t care about being informed; they care about provoking people.
@@RolaiEckolothat depends on the country. In Germany you can be sued for not helping, but you will not be sued for anything you do wrong - unless you are a doctor and you were negligent.
I had to research DNR and CPR when I was a caregiver for my nearly 90 year old father. I was shocked to learn that in older people, ones over 60, the results of CPR are limited and sometimes horrible. What Dr Rajan said is absolutely correct. People are oftentimes brought back to life by CPR, only to languish for some time in the hospital and still end up dying while in the hospital. I determined right then that after I turned 60 I would fill out a DNR form for myself. I am 68 years old and still feel the same. Whatever a person decides on this matter, it should be respected. Bodily autonomy is very important.
This is true. In fact there are a number of factors that come into play. If anyone is interested, there is a tool we use to support our decision making (support being a crucial term there - we do not JUST use this tool) called the Miracle2 score that stratifies the impact of various factors on survival after a cardiac arrest.
Yup in old patients even if we revive them, they usually stay on ventilator support for 3-4 days and pass away. You're just hurting them with unnecessary invasive procedures.
DrKaran is one of the only docs on social media that actually gives good and sensible advice. I swear 99% of tiktokers are clinically braindead at this point
Mike Staring at this question like 👁👄👁Am i nothing to you....
@@SoaRFennec lmao I assumed Mike would know he was included with Dr Karan since I'm commenting on his video. I almost did add "(and Dr Mike of course)" in the comment.
I think we have to be careful about who we blame here-while we absolutely need to be critical of what we watch and how we perceive it…I actually think it is social media’s fault. They’ve created this drug that we’re all addicted to and it makes us more irritable and reactionary. Not to mention young kids are the main target. We need to place more culpability on apps than on viewers.
@@sindahat7451 No, the people MAKING the videos are to blame. Nobody here is blaming viewers.
truth he is awesome
How do people not understand that even if CPR only has a LITTLE chance of saving a life, it's still more of a chance than doing nothing at all. I appreciate Dr. Mike for avoiding drama.
because they'd rather watch tiktok
they're dishpits, that's why
because they are so anti-religion they won't acknowledge good Samaritan laws
Exactly! 10-15% > 0%
You never know, maybe they'll come back if you keep up that death stare.
TikTok is utterly one of the most toxic places I’ve seen. I removed myself from it I can’t be dealing with it honestly it’s not a place I feel comfortable and secure.
I love how patiently you explain what should be obvious 😭
Dr. Mike is spot on! Medicine is nuanced. Very hard to get quality information in short form video
all of life is nuanced!
I agree with Peter.
Sadly some so not have the basic proper education to understand how medicine works in general.
And on a second note: if you want to educate people on the internet (not in a medical environment), you have to be entertaining, else no one would watch meaning you educate exactly no one :))
That's what I came on to say. It's hard to be truly careful on short form. Dr. Mike, you can spend your time and mental energy trying to right a sinking ship, but you don't have to. You have SO MUCH going on in your life, so much involvement in other social media, work life, side projects, entire new professional paths (hello boxing!), a wonderful giant dog...YOU don't need TikTok.
+1 life is nuanced.
I gave CPR to my dad... Unsuccessfully (it's his birthday today). When they don't spring to life, like they do in the movies, you feel like you've failed!! I found out years later that the chances of CPR working are generally very small! And there is nothing more I could've done. So I get what he's saying. And at NO point did he say don't bother! Would I do it again, knowing the success rate? HELL YES! Because even a tiny percentage of success is better than 100% of nothing. And it could just save someone's life.
So sorry for you dad ...
My mum works for a health center and they had a fair day where all sorts of people come in to see the stalls. My mum asked me to come and help with the cafe stall but while I was there, I also got myself a CPR certification. Never know if I might need it.
Sorry for your loss!
It's something that actually makes me feel *more* confident, as essentially without CPR they're extremely unlikely to survive, so you might as well try even if you're really unsure! You're not going to make it worse, and anything is better than nothing here.
I got news for you, cpr doesn’t save your life, adrenaline and defibrillator does, just doing cpr doesn’t help, just significantly increase chance of survival when you do treat, but I’m sure you called an ambulance and defibrillator didn’t save him and you did the right choice.
Yes, Dr Mike, you should leave TikTok. It's the appropriate time, & it is the best move you can make to try to protect medical integrity on that platform. It has done all it could for you. Your career will stand in its' own. You could write a book on this very topic, & how it is affecting the medical field, & people will eat it right up!! You are a highly respectable man, & this video proves it. No matter what your decision is. Thank you for your service. We LOVE you!!!!! ❤
Thank you for championing "do your research before you respond". I hope we can get more people on this boat. Unfortunately, this isn't a new "tiktok" problem. It's been an issue since the 90s when everyone first got email and started forwarding "send this to everyone you know" junk.
As a German doctor, I agree with you a 100%. No matter what country we come from, the medical community must stand united against misinformation. This madness has already claimed enough lives.
As a German who worked in emergency medicine *and living in America, I love Dr. Mike for having good information, which seems so rare.
You're right. Where were y'all during the bat 19 disinformation? 😐
I'm so curious as to cases this has caused life loss. It should be a case study. Would you mind sharing examples?
@@smarmac9252 it's verboden to say.
True
Honestly, I'm glad to see more and more people I follow finally realize what a disaster of a cesspool TikTok is.
Tik-Tok, Alpha's encyclopedia of choice.
What social media platform ISNT a cesspool? Bad/Ignorant/misinformed people are everywhere, not to mention everyone is ignorant about many things.
This really just sounds like someone who is older that doesn't jive with the younger crowd anymore so they assume inherent negativity.
When I had tiktok. I saw more and more doctors and nurses using it more than actually working and they keep posting about their patients. Um they are vialading (however its spelled) Hippa
For real.
A platform isn't bad. Hyper reliance on said information you get without verifying it is. CZcams and the internet is filled with propaganda and flat earthers. Doesn't make the platform less legitimate because of a few bad people.
I refuse to download TikTok, the amount of stupidity it encourages is terrible. What other app had kids eating Tide pods as a “challenge.”
Quite a few people died in the early 2000’s internet era due to the “planking challenge” not defending TikTok just saying this isn’t app specific
Brilliant video Dr Mike. I cannot stomach TikTok & have never signed up to it. I'm prudent about which platforms I give my personal info to & TikTok just does not make the cut in terms of privacy assurances or quality of content so it gets the big 'nope' for me. I don't think your online presence or impact would be damaged by cancelling your TikTok acct, in fact I think it shows sound judgement given the direction the app is going.
P.S. My Mum saved an older man's life who's heart stopped in a public pool through CPR & I learnt it as part of my teaching career - vital skill that imho all adults should know.
Leaving tiktok is a great idea. Not only for your personal mental health, but also morally. Tiktok is just a grinding mill for negative emotions, hate, and controversy. It's no wonder the parent company doesn't have the same version in its homeland.
I've never had it in my life, and I feel great knowing I stay away from all the bullshite posted on there.
@@PMDG738flyer Yeah I have it and its bad
@@iminavegetativestatestudio1730 I had it got rid of it makes my life easier. Except CZcams short arn't helping me either. Reason why I subscribe to new reaction channels that react to my favorite shows and movies and watch those instead
@@PMDG738flyersame! Im glad I never got it.
Doesn't the CCP use it to spy on people?
Leaving tiktok was such a good decision for me. You don't need it! We are ready to support you HERE!
"Leaving tiktok was such a good decision for me." Same for me. I personally found it was wasting precious time and I didn't want to invest more time on a platform that was notifying me as much as TikTok was. I'm confident you will make a wise decision for yourself Doctor Mike.
never even joined and im havin a great time
same and i’m not even a doctor but a random seventeen year old 😭 youtube shorts and reels are
not great either but at least those apps serve other purposes
I agree But now other platforms are going to pick they way that TikTok ran to get more views etc. and it will just be repeated onYT, insta and fb
Seriously! I just came back to it to try to promote my business but honestly, it’s a complete drag!
As a trained physician, CPR does save lives, but what that other do said, is also true. That being said, it doesn’t mean you shouldn’t do it 😂
As a mother & grandmother, I fully support you staying on the platforms that support your medically sound & helpful videos! I was just thinking that I needed to sign up for a CPR class, no kidding.
CPR saved my little girl. She has Myasthenia Gravis. At the time we didnt know and she went into a crisis moment and stopped breathing. Your voice was in my head "chest compressions, chest compressions" i got her back just as the first responders arrived. Id had CPR training before but having that mantra in my head shaved off seconds where panic normally takes over. Thank you Dr. Mike!
This comment should blow up. Also thats a pretty close one, I'm glad your daughter is okay!
Wow, very happy for you and your daughter! Every second really does make a huge difference in those situations.
That's amazing, glad to hear she's okay!
I understand a little of what MG is like. It's not easy. Your daughter is a trooper!
That’s amazing that your daughter is okay and that this medical education helped you! ❤
CPR SAVED MY LIFE!! I had sudden cardiac arrest at 21 years old and a coworker immediately started CPR and because of their fast acting I’m still here.
Glad you're safe now, I bet that coworker was a Doctor Mike viewer :)
Glad you’re here with us ❤

@@aldamiras5114 seriously?!?! This is the attacking Dr. Mike was talking about. @Ashlynn_Murphy I am glad that you are okay and well don't listen to these haters that want controversy.
@@Cyphire_Rage
In case you don't know, the /j means an indicator of which someone is joking. I just wanted to put it out there.
I've noticed this as well and it's very troubling, thank you for speaking up
Dr. Mike, this made me realize that I would love to hear you talk about hospice care. Two of my aunts died recently who were influential in pushing the hospice movement in our state.
They were equally passionate in their opposition to the lives of the elderly and sick being treated with disregard by medical professionals who believed they would be better off dead.
My family had an awful experience when my grandfather died, which caused one aunt to write an article about it. She received responses from readers who had similar experiences. That was the start of her advocacy, which led her to getting trained as a bioethicist.
My other aunt, her sister, worked for change from within the system as a federal employee in a high position.
I think there’s a lot of confusion over what the difference is between euthanasia (direct or through neglect) and things like DNRs and comfort care at the end of life. Knowing my aunts’ activism and having recently accompanied them both as they benefited from the hospice care they helped to put in place and hold to high standards, I find myself very interested in hearing your thoughts on the subject.
Great video, as always! Love the lesson in critical-thinking.
I am so relieved to see people understanding the stupidity of TikTok
Same. To this day, I still haven’t downloaded the app.
@@I-Am-Alexis I once downloaded it and even used it for about a year just to be part of the "cool kids". Only to find out its making the cool kids less and less cool by the day.
@@jishanborno6411 less cool, more stupid
C' est stupide! C' est rare qu' on trouve de quoi educationnel. Aussi, c' est vraiment pas bon pour notre cerveau pour plusieurs raisons. J'étudie en psychologie et ça a été prouvé.
@@jishanborno6411 And I'm glad i live in a circle where tiktok/twitter/quora users are not seen cool, instead they look the opposites.
Whole video could be summed up as 3 points:
1. Everybody calm down.
2. Do your research before assuming any medical treatment is ineffective.
3. Yes chest compressions are helpful and do save lives.
Love you Dr. Mike! Thank you for promoting learning!
Actually the whole video could be summed up in 1 point:
1. The users of tiktok are stupid
I'd change 2 to "Do your research before assuming anything".
@@josefabian7586 good point. I totally agree.
@@josefabian7586"Don't assume anything. Do QUALITY research."
You know, for the types who watch Alex Jones and think that's "doing research" lol
lol critical thinking is hard
I massively support your decision! That app is insane!
👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻 thank you for speaking up on this topic as someone who has such a big platform as you do who has such a positive message as you do. We need people to speak this truth. It is so toxic there is a super sweet, funny side and then there’s this horrific toxic bullying, violent side of TikTok that’s become the majority of TikTok is
I was so worried two of my favorite medical creators were gonna start beef! Glad to see you did your research and resisted the urge to respond emotionally. Unity is paramount in times like these!
Yeah, and it's nice to see people being choosing the smarter options.
I kind of wanted to see them start beefing, they would get even more viewers that way
@@Sniperboy5551 I bet you were one of the people that sent Mike rage mail
@@Sniperboy5551 It should end with a chest compression competition where they fight each other on their CPR abilities.
@@Sniperboy5551there’s not enough medical beer aired out. it’s clearly everywhere, but people are being lame and professional. let’s get the beef on the table.
Don’t feel like you HAVE to be on TikTok. You’re already treating patients and spreading reliable information on CZcams. Stepping back from one platform is okay.
He shouldnt be. It's a terrible platform that destroys our mental health and steals our personal information directly to the CCP.
You should delete tik tok
I called this in 2020 🤭 Jumping on the bandwagon ain’t it
musical.y was way better and much more fun honestly
I never joined TikTok. I also left twitter and FB. My issue with TikTok is just what has been said here. People are constantly creating toxic drama (and abusing their pets) for the likes. FB, I realized I liked my friends less when there was zero mystery to their daily life, without any real connection other than getting sucked into whatever this weeks drama induced dumpster fire happened to be, and I said so long. I like a few channels on here, but just the same there are too many channels of people that think they know everything about something and I just want to shake my head and say “You know nothing Jon Snow, Dracarys”
It's a brain rot app with little hope for redemption. If they don't change I'd leave it by summer.
THAT, and if you have an opinion that people don't like they'll literally try and vilify you and cancel you, they can't handle someone disagreeing with them.
Nicely said. Thanks for sharing this important message. I fully support your choice, there's so much wrong with Tiktok. Keep being you ❤
This hits really close to home. My father had a heart attack at a gas station and a good samaritan did CPR until help arrived. I know they saved his life and I'm thankful but he still ended up dying the next day because he had been without oxygen too long. It really woke me up to what a hailmary CPR is.
So sorry for your loss 🙏 🕊️
Sorry for your loss... RIP❤
may your dad rest in peace 🕊🕊
When I was nursing we always put out a crash call if someone on the ward had a heart attack. Even with immediate 1st and 2nd aid (standard cpr by ward staff then intubation etc by crash team) most patients never recovered.
This situation eventually led to the introduction of do not resuscitate conversations with patients and/or relatives.
I have personally attended a collapsed man in his home. Even though I knew he was not going to make it I and another neighbour started cpr till the ambulance arrived. He died shortly after they got there.
@@ATOMIC901Oh of course. I do Social Work including Child Protection. I have a dark sense of humor. I keep saying that I am halfway to being Batman.
Man, even if all cases of CPR had an insanely low survival rate, I'd STILL do it, it's a free and immediately available form of resuscitation. A low chance of survival is better than no chance of survival (if CPR is right for you as an individual, that is).
I guess this is my time to be emotionally triggered, I hate when people dont pay attention on social media, turn their brains off, and just parrot things to create drama just for the adrenaline rush.
I bet most of those who were upset by this, have never and would never have bothered to learn CPR and be a good Samaritan in first place, but still find a way to think they've been lied to.
I think you are misunderstanding this. The video discusses do not resuccitate forms for those with terminal illnesses or are of very old age. If someone in that category was to be brought back with CPR, it wouldnt benefit them, as instead of that person simply going to wherever your religion believes they go, they get brought back, they experience even more pain than before for no real benefit by bringing them back, and thats why some do not wish to be brought back.
@@rysterstechhe didn't understand the video.and it's context
@@rysterstech In actuality, you misunderstood the comment you replied to. He was talking about the misunderstanding surrounding the efficacy of CPR when it is appropriate, not the wider context of the original content. In fact, the parenthetical statement in his last sentence makes it fairly obvious that he understood that being resuscitated isn't the best outcome for everyone, thereby demonstrating his understanding of the concept of a DNR/POLST/MOLST and the need for such things to exist. For those who do not have a valid DNR or other valid instruction (e.g. a person with valid and current Powers of Attorney) to not resuscitate, early and high-quality CPR is a person's only chance for survival. Even though the overall success rate for getting ROSC is very low, that doesn't mean it's not worthwhile, as Plastic indicated. So long as you do not have a DNR or other such instruction in effect, an 8% chance of survival is certainly better than a 0% chance of survival.
Survival rates from witnessed arrests, can be raised from 5% to 10% to be as high as 25%, as evidenced from the Netherlands, where there is a civilian network of trained first aiders, coordinated by the professional emergency services, which can be called upon if there is a high chance of survival. Those people are people already living in your local neighbourhood, and are able to arrive on on foot or by bike, before the ambulance or other professionals arrive, capable of taking over CPR from you to extend the amount of time where high quality CPR can be given, as well as bring an AED if one is available close-by. Multiple people get sent to the same call to ensure someone is on-site as quickly as possible.
I put off watching this video because I love watching both your and Dr. Karan’s content and was worried this would make me dislike one or the other. Thank you for continuing to be level headed! Everything he said is actually true. CPR has a very low success rate. But that doesn’t mean there isn’t value in doing them in hopes it saves a life. And it’s so important to keep blood and oxygen, however minimal and slow, flowing to the brain while waiting to have access to better care/technology in the hospital. There was a really informative article about this and ECPR in the New York Times recently.
This is one of the most important videos that you've ever made. Thank you for sticking to your message and your morals, and striving to be a positive impact.
I work as a lifeguard and actually saw this clip off doctor Rajan, and thought to myself "well even if the chance off saving a person is low, you should still try saving them, because if you don't the chance will be zero."
He never said not to attempt CPR. He just talked about managing expectations and real life consequences on the body
Same, I didn't understand what people were so outraged at Dr. Mike about. I thought "So maybe it's not the magical resuscitate button TV shows portray, but how does it make Dr Mike's insistence on it bad? A life saved is a life saved, if that's the only doable thing at the time then of course we should try."
In context it makes more sense, and I'm glad the interview wasn't about disparaging the good CPR can do.
@@anivijudi It seems people who watched it out of content concluded that CPR is useless and/or does more harm than good.
That's a totally different scenario! You as a life guard are NOT a doctor and don't know the patient's health history. It's not up to you to decide! But a terminally ill patient who if they're lucky enough to survive the cpr, would likely live out thier days on a respirator DOES NOT benefit from cor. Hence why me, my mother and my terminally ill father decided to have a DNR! You absolutely CANNOT extrapolate your use of CPR on the beach or in the pool to ALL other settings. This black and white, over simplistic thinking is what is causing misinformation problems in the first place! God, try to use your critical thinking skills man.
@@mellie4174 He's talking about the short out of context clip lmao. God, try to use your critical thinking skills man.
I've saved my grandmother following doctor mike's advice. On 22th she suffered with a heart attack I did the chest compressions and she came back we took her to the hospital. Sadly, I lost her on the 24th but I believe it was due to the chest compressions that all my relatives and family were able to see her once again. I will always be grateful to you Doctor Mike. Kudos.
Edit: I thank everyone for their condolences. means a lot guys

Just don’t leave CZcams. 😁 My daughter is 13, we don’t do TikTok, but she can go on CZcams. She walked up to me & said, “oh that’s Dr Mike! I know him.” And let me just say, I super approve because I know you’re legit. We need good resources on platforms where there are a lot of young impressionable eyes, but I definitely understand why TikTok is problematic.
Not everything on CZcams is necessarily better, but it is definitely easier to think critically about a longer video rather than a super short one. It sucks when people just immediately form opinions on someone based off of a super short bit with no context... CZcams usually has more context lol
@@keenankersh7944 I think CZcams has a better community, and the fact that if you see a short and wanna fact check it you don't need to out of the site/app to do it. Also, TikTok moderation is horrible.
@@axoishim facts you can always look up other videos on the topic and make sure it’s not bs and there’s multiple credible sources
CZcams obviously isnt perfect but I believe it to be objectively better with more mature users
Also. People who are triggered? Are TYPICALLY people who WANT to be triggered.
I've seen several clips of Dr. Rajan, he's helpful and logical, sounds like a doctor I would trust to diagnose.
I have to say, you are one of my favorites Dr. Mike. As a professional in the medical insurance field, a lot of what you share here resonates with me both professionally and personally, and I commend you on bringing factual (and also sometimes funny) content to this platform. I do agree with you that Tik Tok is toxic. I have never joined, and I think it is geared to instigate versus bringing educational snipits to people. I support your decision if you do decide to leave that platform, as long as we still get to experience you here!
Keep up to great work. ❤
My mother saved my father with cpr after a heart attack, and since she started compressions right away my dad had a good outcome eventually. Hospital staff kept coming to meet her because she is such a badass.
And yeah, the more people leaving TikTok the better.
Amazing, your mom IS a badass!! You must be so proud! I'm glad your dad gets to keep enjoying his life, hopefully he'll get many more years with you all.

Hey Doctor, kudos on proper fact checking. One argument against leaving TikTok is, if we are not there, then it will be an absolute cesspool of rubbish which in a LOT of places around the world kids will have access too. At least with you in there, kids have something proper to grab onto and perhaps ignore the remaining garbage, and the good message will still get through to people.

It is SO IMPORTANT IN THIS DAY AND AGE WITH CHAOTIC INTERNET to just....make sure you know what you're mad about or saying or listening to, before you just commit. I've never been a fan of TikTok. It always seemed to me like a sespool of just.....ignorance, hate, and just click bait. I love you for what you do, TikTok or not. You seem like a very responsible content creator.
I completely agree 💯👏
As someone who had TikTok and was pushed from the platform for the toxicity I can understand your decision and all of us will support you either way
We signed a DNR for my brother who was terminally I’ll with a brain tumour. He passed peacefully & was unable to control any of his bodily functions at the time. Bringing him back for the sake of another week would of been cruel & self serving. You Dr’s have these extremely hard emotional conversations with families & do great work. The least we can afford the medical community is “context & fact checking before reaching or reacting”. Love to all you Dr’s & Nurses & all the hospital staff around the world. You are amazing people. Xx
I'm sorry for this very sad experience, and also I thank you for sharing the very difficult decision to let your brother go in as much peace as was possible in that situation.
Multiple family members had DNR. It made sense for tyem
Literally cant say it better, you nailed it.
@@zipp4everyone263 thank you so much Hun. Xx
Condolences
I'd say leave Tik Tok, do reaction videos on false information. What you just did here in clarifying was eloquently done and necessary. If you have been doubting the platform your getting off sends a message to others as well. You are a huge role model. You are doing great!
God job!! SO many toxic people do this, go into a place looking for adrenaline and e-cred, stir up drama, ruin meaningful discourse and community, and even harass or ban you if you disagree.(Yes, toxic people becoming mods happens ALL the time.) I'm happy Mike uses his platform to try to correct this sad long-running trend, because every time I'm sad for the people doing something meaningful who get bullied off by people who never even cared about the subject as much (as their ego boosts) in the first place.
I support you whether you want to keep your TikTok or leave it. I agree that there's a lot of stupid out there, but I think it is more of the fault of the algorithms used. Programming is not an exact science, as one who had to learn it in school, and I never was really good at it, though I did make good grades in it. The IT industry needs to get better at writing algorithms that protect especially young people's mental health. We need more scientifically provable fact out there and more fact-checking for these subjects are are science-based. Our mental health as a country is suffering because social media in general tends to be pretty toxic. That said, I'm so glad you're fighting the good fight and putting good info out there for us! And, I do believe that eventually, the process that selects the videos that we see the most of will improve. We are seeing a revolution in AI and in programming methods, and it has its growing pains. I do think TikTok needs to be acquired by another company, but I just hope it's one that will try to fix its most pressing issues. Good luck with your decision!
As a licensed therapist in TN, I hear so many clients talk about how they use tiktok to 'cope' and can watch it for hours. We discuss other coping skills to use, it can be so unproductive. I personally refuse to download tiktok, I don't need another distraction in my day to day.
Recommend some coping skills? 🫶
I feel a lot dummer after an hour of browsing a meme page,
than when I hit a blunt and enjoy exploring my thoughts to some music.
then again I noticed how listening to only podcasts when on the move mentally exhausted me.
kinda like my brain likes to take some time to sort all the random thoughts.
A strategy I’ve used is based on the Blinkist app advert that is making the rounds. Replacing doom scrolling with micro learning… I actually got a history textbook on Western Civilization that I can turn to when I notice I’m just flipping through my phone and not consuming quality content for my brain. Like a few dance videos and some cute animal videos are good but not like a whole hour of them. So I’ll stop at a few, pick up my text book, just open to a random page, and all of a sudden I’m learning correct information on the Spartans. It gets me away from mindless phone usage and decreases overall screen time. (Edit to add: I doesn’t need to be a textbook, it can be short stories, or even a recipe book just something to actively engage your mind)
I'm in my 40's and I remember when we could just enjoy good music in our downtime. I realized the constant input of other people's opinions & information is exhausting. My brain needs to change gears and unwind with just the music and my own thoughts and I feel so much better.
You r a therapist in Tunsia?
Honestly, the solution isn’t anything to do with you. It’s getting rid of TikTok completely. There are so many issues with it but when people call it out “Blame the Children”
Mad respect as always. Wherever you go, i will follow.
👍🏻
FACTS
Nah tiktok is entertaining
Factual and based.
U deserve a Nobel prize for supporting him madddd respect
Happy to see you taking the correct approach. More respects to you and the community
Thank you for raising this issue!
As a recent psychology graduate, we talked about the toxicity of TikTok and the mass misinformation crisis going on within the app. I think that TikTok has fostered a massive dunnen Kruger effect with so many people in its community. So many people feeling overly confident to give medical and mental health advice or diagnosis that they aren’t qualified to give. Honestly a few of my friends have adopted this mindset as well and I’ve had to distance myself from them because of it. It’s unfortunate but Tik tok in particular is so toxic and creates biased feedback loops and echo chambers for its users. I don’t know if it’s going to get better. So if you deleted your account I wouldn’t blame you, the world would probably benefit from Tik tok dying out.
See I agree with this, because of the amount of misinformation and pseudoscience on the app, but the problem is that there is clearly a demand for this type of content. Maybe we all leave tik tok, but we then still have youtube shorts and instagram reels, that are really feeding into the same problem. I wish therr was a way to hold creators of such apps accountsble to actually make sure they are not encouraging the spread of misinformation.
Imo TikTok is the perfect storm of algorithm driven content with short form and therefore short attention span. Facebook, Twitter, CZcams and basically all the platforms use similar algorithms to feed and push content all with the same objective, keep you clicking, keep you on the platform for as long as possible. As a result it's very easy to basically inevitable that the majority of users end up in their own little echo chamber on all of these platforms.
It's short form like TikTok and Twitter where imo attention spans reduce significantly so the content that'll stand the best chance of catching that shorter attention span is drama and outrage.
Add the general attitude of all of us on the internet that it is somehow not IRL therefore zero consideration of consequence, very little thought beyond that knee jerk reaction that popped into our heads and well, I'm surprised the whole thing hasn't come crashing down long before now tbh.
So agreed. How many 17 year olds do we need out there giving out life and mental health advice? The only way to slay the beast is to not engage.
Agree with most of this, but not the last part. Not all of tiktok is toxic, for example my fyp is just anime and cute girls, there's nothing wrong with that.
You said it perfectly! Back in 2020 I deleted TikTok for the same reason, I literally felt like I was being programmed. Inflammatory content and unhealthy behaviors/views were just getting shoved in my face regardless of if I wanted to see it and I really felt the affects of it.
As a mom- I noticed that when my son had consumed a lot of TikTok, he was saucier, more hyper and single-minded about it. We have put a strict limit on his time allowed and have seen a lot of improvements in behaviour
Hello M(r)s. Hamlyn, as a freshman in high school, I would say that actually deleting the app altogether would be doing him a favor. I deleted my own account, because I realized it was feeding me the most inappropriate and weird videos, just because the algorithm knew, those videos were likely to go viral, so you certainly don't have to listen to me, but I think deleting his account would be good for him.
It sounds like a crazy conspiracy theory, but tik tok is brainwashing kids to be less respectful, more violent, and just worse human beings.
just saying as a teen myself, delete it. it was terrible for me. after saying gbye to it i became much happier, i read more, get better grades, just delete it.
Every social media should have its limits. But as for Tik Tok, I would suggest erasing it from your son's life, it'll benefit his life a lot more. My friend has changed a lot because of those kinda influences, and it kinda made me upset how she believes tik tok over her own friend.
W parent keep up the good work:D
It’s so crazy how the world can be so addicted to drama and controversy that they can’t even understand that he was not in any way saying CPR is bad as a medical professional myself what he said is factually accurate and as soon as he spoke I understood the message
Thank you for sharing! This is a topic that has been on my mind for quite some time. While I agree that TikTok, like many platforms, can propagate misinformation, the issue extends beyond just one platform. Content creators often share their messages across various social media platforms, attracting trolls and exacerbating the problem.
From the perspective of a content creator, I do appreciate TikTok's editing tools. However, having been barred from using it in the military and now at UT, I can't say I miss it when it's not available. Still, I find myself facing a moral dilemma. Knowing that some individuals are sharing harmful content or distorting positive messages, I question whether I have a responsibility to continue posting beneficial content and engaging with trolls.
However, it's essential to prioritize one's mental and emotional well-being. Finding the balance between fulfilling professional obligations and maintaining personal health is crucial, particularly in the realm of holistic medicine. If TikTok becomes overwhelming, it's entirely acceptable to step back. There are other platforms where your content will be better received. Personally, I believe nurturing your CZcams channel's substantive content aligns more with the holistic approach, rather than being consumed by the chaos of TikTok.
If you leave TikTok I will applaud you, that platform makes me sick. I love your content, I love your insight and I love that you always go deep into any subject, do your research and you don't let yourself get submerged into this hatred and decadency that's intoxicating social networks. Thumbs up 😊
I did and after that I graduated school, became rich and healthy
@@Ani_simps_for_giyuu 🤣🤣🤣
@@FeuerflockenTv Yeah! stick to YT shorts
@@RoboChemist yep! Wholesome content are all in yt shorts 😄
I was a big user of Tiktok and posted daily and had sponsors etc. I gained 80,000 followers, before I realized how toxic Tiktok had become and how addicted I was. I ended up going cold turkey and deleting the app. A year later, I realize that it's one of the best decisions I've made ❤️
The CCP has deliberately made TikTok that way for the rest of the world. TikTok is a weapon of the communists to destroy the minds of youngsters in democratic countries.
Björk
It’s so freeing to be rid of it.
I realized tiktok was toxic when I saw a mother taking a video of her 4 y/o son, saying he was a girl, and then asking what gender he was. He repeated her. Everyone in the comments were congradulating him, but the few that said it was wrong were verbally attacked. (This comment isn't for political debate, it's just what I experienced. No hate against lgbtq, just the situation in this video and comments was so odd.)
I’ve seen one of those channels on CZcams. I’m part of the lgbtq community but this just feels wrong. It feels like the dad is forcing him to be trans and that the poor kid is just going along with it.
Dr Mike, I’m a cardiac icu nurse and I applaud your response. ❤❤❤ perfect! Just say no to ticktock.
So right about nuance and needing to understand context and watching entire videos before jumping to conclusions. Not just about medical topics. Also about politics, also about social issues, also about news stories. Considering nuance and context is what being a mature adult is all about.
“Cast not your pearls before swine.” Tik Tok is a cesspool of misinformation, clickbait, and controversial content. It’s not worth the time and headache. Post your content wherever you think it is valued the most. You’re doing a great job! You’re YT numbers speak for themselves. Your nuanced approach to topics and critical thinking is what makes you different from everyone else. Keep it up! Your integrity is worth more than numbers.
Unfortunately it seems this way on many platforms. I have officially decided tonight to comment less and less on many videos. It seems to be people who simply want to argue , not actual discuss or post well-rounded content.
@@KFontLab Same. Oftentimes I don't even read comments on my posts. I said what I said and I'm not interested in debating with anybody.
"“Cast not your pearls before swine.” Tik Tok is a cesspool of misinformation, clickbait, and controversial content. " yup. Ditch the toxic app, that's why I never signed up in the first place.
the medics need to offer brain rescuscition (whatever it is spelled) among the tiktokers addicts
Maybe the brain will start to function after some head compression😂
@@azizulhaziq9766 that’s assuming they have that particular organ in the first place though
As a medical school student i definitly support your decidion to not post on tikitok anymore, the misinformation in the health department is scarily proficient and the fact that tiktok themself won't do anything about it is a warning in itself. Thank you for voicing out those issues, you honestly rock
TikTok is not a reliable media source, whether or not people choose to believe what people say on the app it’s on them. Letting that aside, TikTok is honestly the most ridiculous thing that could have ever been brought to existence imo.
There is literally no one moderating tik tok 🤭 Don’t get mad at numbers
@@degummybear guess that means that the general public is stupid lol
Love the support you two have for each other!
You're right that it's TikToxic, I've never been on it, and as long as you're on other platforms like CZcams, I vote get rid of it, it's just as problematic as you say.
My New Year's resolution was to leave behind apps like twitter and tiktok and so far I've been doing well without them. I really enjoy watching your content here because you're a big inspiration to me. 👍
I like the idea of leaving the tik Tok and focusing the CZcams, because you don't HAVE to cut out the nuance and context to fit in the allotted time. With CZcams you can battle misinformation as you do by providing all of the accurate medical info in one convenient place! Love your videos!
Agreed time to say goodbye to something you don’t support
It may, at this point, be time to say "While I would like to plant some flowers in this garden, the garden is not only full of weeds and pests, the gardeners are actively encouraging the pest population and moving the nastiest weeds to where people are likely to trip over them or scrape themselves on thorns. All in all, this is not an ideal environment for my flower-planting efforts."

And talking about TikTok, I'm literally soooo proud of myself for have never used TikTok, and thanks to Indian Government for banning that app altogether here.

CPR saved my life! I had an out of hospital heart attack & cardiac arrest when out cycling, a bystander gave me CPR, another person called emergency services - next thing I knew I was in CCU. If it wasn’t for CPR I wouldn’t have survived. I was 58 years old when it happened. Im now fighting fit and back cycling like nothing happened. 100% support you Dr Mike 👏👏
You were extremely fortunate, my step father was given CPR immediately as well but he was already gone and could not be resuscitated. CPR fails more than it saves, just because you were lucky that doesnt mean the vast majority are as fortunate.
@@jackwhitbread4583He didn't say that. Success of many procedures is determined by many factors. In case of CPR the risks far outweight risks in majority of cases, almost all of them in out of healthcare arrests (as we cannot possibly presume DNRs).
@@jackwhitbread4583I'm sorry. But just because it fails sometimes that is no reason not to do it? Hope you are ok
@@jackwhitbread4583well better question here someone heart has stopped would you rather a cpr with low success rate or none.
This is what basically boils down to
You either die or dont so might as well do cpr in hope you survive
so what is your point ? LOL@@jackwhitbread4583
2 things:
1, As a high school physics teacher, I find that the way my students interact with TikTok and similar apps does more harm than good. Personally, I have never used it. I agree 100% with what you say about nuance and how hard it can be to achieve that in such a short video. I respect you as a reputable educator and support which ever way you choose to go.
2, Eleven years ago my dad had a heart attack driving home from work. The police who found him did CPR and brought him back. He was in the ICU for 1 week before having a second heart attack and succumbing. I am eternally grateful for the police and medical professionals' efforts RE. CPR and ICU supportive care. They gave me one more week with my dad to see him, come to terms with the fact I might lose him, and say everything I needed to say before he was gone for good. CPR is worth the attempt, you can't make the person any more dead by trying, and you just might get really really really lucky and give them a little more time, even if it is only one week more. Love you, Dad!
Ms. Walkup: your story is touching, and as a freshman in high school, I 100% agree, in that people are getting too obsessed with it, and being dangerous. I also just wanted to take the time to thank you for choosing to teach, because I understand how hard we can be sometimes 🙃

Hey dr Mike, I think that your educational value on TikTok is important. That being said, I understand your wish to leave. Its a sinking ship that takes your time and enery and gives not a lot back. Please know that whatever you chose to do, your community that you have build on this platform will support you. The followers that you have on tiktok who are watching you for your content will find you on your other platforms. I support your decision on quiting or staying, staying would have the benefit that there is still accurate medical information on TikTok and you might accidentally influence users, but you can’t win the fight against all the wrong information on there. It’s a hard decision but whatever you will chose is right. Don’t wear yourself out over this
Love from the Netherlands
I ODed at 16 years old and died. I'm only here because of the electrons in my brain were still firing off (according to the paramedics), that and chest compressions, EMTs were luckily down the street from my house. Dr. Karan is actually correct and so is Dr. Mike. My mind isn't as fresh as it used to be, I have trouble remembering things way more than I used to. I *feel* slower than I was before and it has severely affected me in my schooling, at work and yes even at home. Thanks for the great content Dr. Mike, and of course hats off to you Dr. Karan. Keep up yhe education.
Do you think your symptoms are because of the lack of oxygen to your brain causing damage or the drugs you were on causing damage... 🤔?
*neurons, not electrons...
Hey dude, glad to have you still around. Keep it up!
@@katiefacey23 I think it could be a mix of both, honestly. But if I'm being honest, I didn't feel this way until after the OD, I think it was the lack of oxygen for the most part, drugs didn't help.

Well bharat
Excellent demonstration of what you want people to learn in this video. You do a great job and stay true to your ethics
I’ve been a nurse for 30 years. TV and movies always show someone getting an AED shock immediately coming back to life. They don’t understand that it won’t restart a stopped heart. In all the times I have had to use an AED over the years I have never once been told “Shock Advised”. The last time I did CPR several years ago that happened in a room full of people in a dialysis unit in front of a doctor and as soon as I heard shock not advised I swore very loudly and creatively at the machine. This should be more talked about in CPR classes. Everyone has been conditioned their whole lives to think the AED will advise a shock, the first time it doesn’t happen is shocking, then gradually I hated waiting for the analysis to happen.
I deleted tiktok a few months ago and my mind has felt a lot more clearer. It’s so toxic and creates so much anxiety. I know that you want to reach as many people as possible with medical knowledge. I think your energy may be best spent making content on other platforms where people will listen instead of just finding fault and creating drama
Despite coming there because of a few content creators I watched on CZcams, and finding some other interesting stuff... I got bored on Tiktok very easily. Watching so many videos was tiring. Deleted it. Returned about a year later, watched stuff for a few weeks, then the political shenanigans in my country started and Tiktok basically made it impossible for people from here to watch foreign creators, even ones we had been following, their profiles just said "there are no videos on this page" and while I had found a couple people from my country that I'd watched, I still decided to delete it once and for all
Feels nice. I can watch YT shorts, which somehow are still better targeted at me, and also alternate between shorts and normal length videos
Thank you for bringing attention to this and asking for our input.
Deleting my TikTok was one of the best things I did for myself lately. It was starting to affect my motivation, mental health, and general well-being. I fully support leaving TikTok for these reasons as well as the reasons mentioned in the video. Tiktok's algorithm is designed to quickly figure out what triggers people, and bombard them with such content. It's plaguing our society, and it's gotta go.
TikTok is digital fentanyl. Dump it and encourage others to do so - use your platform to help others just like you always do, Dr. Mike!
All my videos are cat videos, gym videos, and funny stuff 😭😭
I8
I left like 5 months ago
The only tik tok i watch are the youtube compilations because theyre actually the good kinds of tik toks
My dad is a general surgeon and mom was a head nurse for years, while we were watching a movie with a CPR scene where the victim 'woke up' and was fine, I asked them if that's accurate. They told me that it,s not correct and the actually mirrored what Dr. Karan said. They also said that CPR should be performed anyway because it may and can help; even if a patient is in very critical condition a surgeon wouldn't just say 'oh he's probably a goner' but perform the surgery anyway and that's the same principle.
What is heartbreaking about this is that Dr Rajan does actually explain about how he had a patient who was 90 and performed CPR on them and how as a junior Dr it really impacted him, so for people to 'pile on' on without context isnt fair. He comes across as a great Dr and an absolute asset to the NHS and a great youtuber as well.
Leave Tik Tok, sounds like you could do without the stress tbh and it might encourage others to leave behind things that both do not serve us and cause us stress.
🙌
If it takes some anxiety, pressure, or distress off of you to leave TikTok, then I say go for it. You work hard at multiple things, so it's okay to take care of yourself and shed some toxic stuff. You have a massive, loyal following here on YT. Your videos are fun and humorous, but also informative and medically accurate. As a long-time RN, I applaud and appreciate you! I have a tremendous amount of respect for you and appreciate your heart and your integrity. (By the way, please go on tour again and come down South! Maybe Atlanta?) :)
i agree, dr mike, the final decision is entirely up to you, but as a viewer id liked to add that you dont need tiktok, it doesn't benefit u in any way and just adds fuel to the massive trash island that is tiktok
tiktok and facebook are huge seething suckholes of toxicity... just walk away from them.
You're not the only one! I've heard about this problem from another videos i watch
The first lessons in first aid. Legitimately mentions the low chance of CPR
This is why people should do more research and stop jumping to conclusions. It can cause so much unnecessary drama. Thank your for addressing Dr. Mike. Love your videos ❤️
hey
Definitely, but we also need some way of helping people learn how to differentiate between reputable research and unsubstantiated claims. One of the most popular catch cries of the anti-science anti-vax communities is "Do your research!", when their idea of "research" has nothing to do with scientifically proven facts, and everything to do with heavy confirmation bias and searching on the internet solely for anything that matches their preconceived notions.

After the first clip played, I was trying to figure out what was wrong about it. CPR is so important not because it revives everyone all the time, but because without it pretty much everyone stays dead.
EXACTLY
Like even if it doesn’t save every single person out there there’s still the chance of it saving at least one person and it’s absolutely worth a shot
I think setting realistic expectations is not a bad thing.
If it was my loved one or when I am at work in my ER…I know the low chances of getting them back and the low chance of long term survival even if we do get them back…but a 1 in 10-20 chance is nothing to sneeze at in either scenario. Sure it’s unlikely. But it’s worth a shot.
Every time we get someone back after a 40 minute downtime and their pupils are fixed and dilated, it deflates me a bit. But sometimes the signs are more promising. I’ve even had a couple that return to full consciousness, obviously in hospital arrests.
yeah, to my understanding, CPR isn't so much about resuscitating a person (great when it happens), but more of keeping the blood moving so hopefully residual oxygen in the blood supply can reach the brain holding off brain death before a defib machine gets there.
Ya exactly. Nowhere did he say don't perform cpr, he's just stating facts on cpr's effectiveness.
well-phrased
This video was intellectually inviting. Thank you for providing accurate and an informed opinion based on context of the info provided. You provide a great service
Coincidentally, in the first video I saw of Dr. Rajan's, he pondered the legal weight of a patient's DNR tattoo. They got wheeled into the OR, and staff started getting his chest ready when they found he'd gotten "DO NOT RESUSCITATE" tattooed on his body. He hadn't filled out a DNR form or anything, and Dr. Rajan went through the hospital's whole process of determining whether to honor this tattoo as a revocation of consent to resuscitation.
Iirc, they found a DNR in the end. I might be mistaken. Been a while since I saw that video, but it was a very interesting video.
From what I understand, they don't honor DNR tattoos in the US. The idea is that the patient could have changed their mind at some point, but tattoos are permanent.
That sounds fascinating. Wow.
That was on Chicago med
I am just glad I don’t have to make this type of decision. I have a DNR with my GP that I keep updating depending on current health issues I am facing and my family knows about it. But having to make a life (or death I suppose) altering decision in seconds - rather them than me.
Good on you for not falling for the bait. I love this video.
A librarian once told me that we need more communication Not less. We need more information on TikTok to balance the misinformation.
I fully applaud what you said over here. I'm a teacher in my 30s, and its so sad and shocking seeing how little younger people today understand how something can be nuanced or biased. That there might be a bigger or larger context you've got to be aware of. Social media has removed all of that for them. Instead, it encourages en masse outrage or attacks rather than allowing us to see the whole picture. Good work as always!
As somebody in highschool seeing a bunch of year 7s and year 8s with tiktok is so funny and disappointing at the same time

Effect of social media
I know! I watched that clip and was like "why are people reacting so strongly?" Like yes Mike advocates for CPR but this doc wasn't saying "CPR is useless" he was just saying it has low success rate. But a 10 or 20% success rate doesn't make something useless!!!!! He was just adding nuance not calling it useless 😭 but I guess out of context it can seem like his point is not to use it? If you're not really thinking about it..
