Can you give some examples of trustworthy doctors on youtube?

This

Look at Dr John Campbell's videos at the start of the Pandemic. Every one was a level headed review of scientific papers and evidence

1.5 years later he was full on conspiracy theorist no doubt got some people killed

I don't think it was pure crass. I think his basic personality was warped by algos attention and money

Chubby emu is still making videos. I'm not familiar with medlife crisis but I'll look them up. I can also recommend DrMike and mamma doctor Jones.

Came here to make sure medlife crisis was mentioned

Sounds plausible.

On a related note, I still can't figure out why there is so much insane dietary stuff on the Internet.

Some of it is probably that it isn't just the Internet. The 1800s had some pretty bonkers stuff in the US. The Internet just makes it visible to me. But there's still an insane amount of people promoting things on incredibly thin evidence that seem to get remarkable uptake.

There are also some other medicine-adjacent fields, like people talking about the health impacts of electromagnetic radiation, that have a remarkable amount of crazy stuff online.

Yes

Dr. Mike is a currently practicing Family Physician that obviously makes good money on YouTube with 14M subs, and just gives pretty standard medical advice while covering interesting topics in his field and dispelling common medical myths.

The worst thing I can say about Dr. Mike is that he is very much an Old School Democrat and procapitalist/anticommunist, as evidenced by his podcast guests and his statements about his upbringing in Russia. But those are his political views. As far as I can tell his success on YouTube has to do with his looks, personality, and production quality alongside sound medical advice and interesting insights into the medical field.

I'm pretty sure at this point he has a whole team managing his channel, so he still has time to be a full time doctor. It's extremely rare for a legitimate currently practicing doctor to be able to be a youtuber full time, but it does happen.

EDIT: wording/clarification

No, and honestly he didn't come to mind. He's the only doctor I knew of before these suggestions.

I'm glad people have pointed out doctors that really care about their craft and want to share their knowledge with the world.

If you can make money as a doctor you'd have to be an idiot to try and make money as a content creator

I think the problem here for some of them is they can't make money as a doctor because they are idiot doctors. Like, imagine having a doctor that graduated with the lowest possible passing score.

Or perhaps they have doctorates in one field but make videos pretending to be medical doctors. Or are just straight up shitbirds like Dr. Oz or Dr. Phil.

I'm not sure why it would make zero sense for a doctor to spend their time making educational content on the internet. Helping people directly may be indeed more important and urgent, but contributing to a more positive impact of free educational content on health and medicine is just as reasonable, especially if they are good at that.

it makes zero sense for them to spend their free time making educational content on the Internet.

I actually disagree, and money shouldn't be the main motivator for sharing knowledge.
