Why I started a YouTube channel

You might be wondering why a qualified doctor like me is on YouTube. Well, it all boils down to time constraints.

During a typical 10 to 20-minute patient consultation, I often want to provide more information than time allows. So, I embarked on a mission, and that’s when the idea for my YouTube channel was born.

Imagine this scenario: It’s the middle of the night, and you’re worried about a potential kidney or urine infection. You’re nervous about  what’s going on. 

That’s where I step in! My videos aim to give you a quick overview – when to seek immediate medical attention, what symptoms to look for, and the best courses of treatment.

While I never envisioned being an online presence during medical school, I sincerely hope my channel can make a meaningful impact by empowering and educating you. 

It’s all about sharing easy-to-understand, trustworthy, evidence-based information to assist people like you.

I am your friendly, virtual doctor, here to help you navigate health concerns.

Let me share a recent encounter with an 18-year-old patient who walked into my clinic, visibly nervous because she was experiencing her first-ever urine infection. 

She mentioned that she had searched YouTube and other online sources before coming to see me.

During our brief 10 to 20-minute conversation, I explained her symptoms, conducted urine tests, and provided advice on immediate steps. 

However, I couldn’t help feeling I wish I had more time . She needed to understand how to prevent future infections, be aware of risk factors, and know what to do if it happened again.

That’s what started my mission. I wanted to break down essential information, in a way that’s accessible and easy for you to grasp online.

But I’m not simply making educated guesses! Before I hit that “record” button, I research national guidelines while drawing upon 15 years of medical experience. It ensures that the information I share with you is evidence-based and reliable.

My hope? I can help educate people like you by sharing this knowledge, making healthcare information more accessible and understandable regardless of age, gender and background..
