Doctor: "So. You... you a lil' fruity?"

I remember how stressed I was to come out to my doctor. I was worrying about the appointment for days. Turns out he's more supportive than my parents which is nice.

Telling your doc you're asexual is usually a fun trip through a physical investigation of what's wrong with you to blood tests to find out why you don't want to bone people to a Very Serious conversation about how you need to see a therapist because sex is vital to a healthy life. Just... love it so much.

I can’t believe he’s 6’3 ... I’ve been imagining him as 5’10 this whole time

As a smart introvert, I don't think you understand how much I love radiology.🤭

i remember around the age of 19-20 i was hesitant to tell my doctors that i was bisexual/pansexual…until i remembered that HIPAA prevents them from telling anyone else 😄

I'm glad that you're so open and fine with patients being a part of the LGBTQ+ community. It's so nerve-racking and scary coming out to people, and you always have to make sure that it's safe to come out, so when someone's supportive it's really heartwarming and a lot more comfortable being around them. I hate how we have to be so wary. I hate how people despise us.

The best question a doctor ever asked me was, "do you have sex with men, women, or a little of both?" I hadn't come out yet, but that question let me know it was safe to do so. And then we didn't waste time with discussions about pregnancy tests and condom use with men. My care was tailored to ME. You would not believe how many doctors discriminate against LGBTQ people, and if you live in an area where you don't have a lot of choice in who your doctor is, it can be scary and dangerous to come out to a doctor.

I accidentally came out as trans to my doc. She's helped me with getting blood draws, called me by my name, her nurses have helped me with my shots... I really appreciate her.

To answer the question of, how many hairs are on the body… (As a licensed Cosmetologist in 6 states over the last 35 years), I can answer for the scalp. There are 3 numbers based upon your natural hair color… redheads have approx 70-80k hair follicles, brunettes 90-100k and blondes 100-140k. In addition it’s important to note that blondes have the thinnest diameter strands of hair and redheads the thickest diameter. Always love your videos Dr Mike.

I feel like coming out to your doctor and talking about with them can also help anyone struggling to tell friends or family that they think are homophobic. sometimes they just need to tell someone cause the feeling builds up

Step 1: Be 5'10'' or 5'11'' tall Step 2: Say you're 6 foot tall. Step 3: Repeat until you believe it yourself and get it printed in your passport/visa.

Mike: "Ask a doctor anything!" Me: Asks question Mike: "Go see your doctor"

I was 13, came out by writing my mom a letter telling her because i didn't want to say it out koud but was ready to come out. Wrote a letter and handed it to her. I'm now 28. Came out young but it was worth it. This was back in 2007 too. Long time. But it was worth it. If you want to come out or you're ready to, do it at your own pace and how you choose.

Doctor Mike I came out to my Primary Care as genderqueer/nonbinary and asked for a breast reduction. He’s been incredibly supportive and referred me to a local and well respected plastic surgeon. 😊

Me: sees How to grow taller. Also me: clicks instantly.

My dad is 6'4", his uncle told him, and he's always stressed to me "stand tall, don't be ashamed of your height". A confident person is attractive no matter your height!

I wish every doctor was as cool as you, I'd feel totally comfortable coming out to you. It's truly shocking how many people nowadays, including some doctors, still judge people's sexuality or gender.

Okay, I absolutely love that one of your answers started with the difficulties we have with building robots! Love your channel!
