- What is the craziest thing you've ever pulled
outta somebody's body?
The good, the bad, and the ugly.
Today I'm answering all your burning
personal questions about myself.
That way you can get to know me a little bit better,
but hopefully things don't get too crazy.
All right, let's dive right in.
Are you a real doctor?
Yes, I am a real doctor.
I went to college or university for four years.
I went to medical school for four years and then I went
to residency in emergency medicine for four years.
I work full-time hours as an ER doctor at a hospital.
I do the YouTube channel
and social media stuff on the side in my free time.
If you can go back in time, what's one single piece
of advice you would give your 20 something year old self?
It's interesting.
People already think I'm too young to be a doctor,
but I am double 20.
If I had to go back my early twenties,
I would actually say have even a little bit more fun.
We're good streaky?
- What's the biggest mistake you've ever made on YouTube?
I believe it was King of the Hill.
Hank said something about consumption,
but it was in a reference to an old term
used for tuberculosis.
Everybody's like, oh my gosh,
he doesn't know what that means.
One, they don't teach that in med school and the other
is I thought it was related to a food, not an infection.
What's been the proudest moment of your life
or your career so far?
Getting into med school, graduating med school,
being a chief resident in my residency program.
- Your chief resident.
- Getting a job at Harvard University
as a an attending physician.
- You go where?
- Harvard.
- And then I got lucky
and I found like the perfect companion of my life.
I have Jen.
We are so compatible with each other.
It is amazing.
Why is your nose sometimes red in videos?
My nose gets red because right here there's a bone
and when I wear a mask all the time
at the hospital it puts pressure
on that area so it gets red pretty easily,
especially when I'm wearing an N95 mask,
when it's really putting a seal to my face,
that's when my nose gets red.
What nationality, ethnicity are you?
Are you Russian Hispanic?
How do you know how to speak all these languages?
My last name is Wagner
or in the German language it's Wagner.
So I'm German, German and more German.
I can speak Spanish because I work in Southern California
and the population requires it that I speak Spanish.
What language should I dub my channel in next?
What's the craziest thing you've ever seen
or treated in the hospital?
Typically just talking
about the case itself is a patient identifier,
so you do have to be careful.
I know we see on the internet sometimes
people talk about cases.
They've likely gotten prior authorization
from the individual that it was about
or they're doing it not realizing
it could be a HIPAA violation.
So you have to be really careful.
The other thing that's always crazy is finding things
in people's orifices where they shouldn't be.
Do you wear hearing aids?
I do not.
What I do wear when listening
to the audio is the beats by Dr. Dre
and they're just the regular ones that go in your ears.
When I was a kid, I was deaf
in one of my ears because of a tympanic membrane issue.
Had multiple ear surgeries.
It is now fixed.
Back to normal hearing.
You've collabed with a lot of creators on YouTube.
Who is your favorite creator to work with?
I would say all of them
'cause they're all amazing human beings in their own right.
- Did we just become best friends?
- Yep.
- Like think about it.
I got Houston Jones, who's indestructible?
I got Noah who can take anybody down?
I got Cameron who's seen a lot of stuff all over the world.
Then I've worked with Smile Squad.
So fun, hardworking.
That was a lot of work to get that video out to you guys.
And then of course my friend Anthony,
for telling his story here.
If you had your pick,
who would you like me to collab with in the future?
Let me know.
Are you rich?
I'm rich in love.
I have my health.
When you're actually asking about monetary,
I went to med school in the United States.
I got half a million dollars
of student debt paying off every month.
So would you consider me rich?
No.
What's the most embarrassing thing that has ever happened
to you as a doctor,
either in medical school or whatever?
I dunno if it was embarrassing,
but it was kind of like a douh moment,
like doing gross anatomy.
We're using tools to dissect and I slipped
and I sliced my hand wide open in the middle of cadaver lab.
So that was kind of just like a oops moment.
- And I, oh.
- How do you have time to edit your own YouTube videos
and work full-time as a doctor?
I don't edit the videos.
Believe me, if I did it would be a hot mess.
I have a team that helps do all this.
Jen runs this show, my wife Jen
and we have a very good producer, Michael.
We have a core group of editors, Seamus, Ardit, and James.
Fun fact, you may have actually seen Seamus
in some of our clips.
Sometimes he sneaks in there from time to time.
We have a team of translators into different languages.
Spanish, French, and Russian.
Shout out to Christian, Valter and Lucas.
Would you ever join only fans?
Only fans?
No, but if I did a private thing or a membership thing,
what would you guys wanna see?
Like uncensored videos, longer content, unedited content.
Let me know and maybe we'll make it happen in the future.
As a patient you've treated
ever recognized you from YouTube?
Yes, it does happen.
Patients sometimes will ask if I am that guy.
I've been out in other countries and I've been recognized
and for me it's more embarrassing probably
'cause this is not what I'm used to.
I'm out on vacation
and then all of a sudden somebody's like,
"hey, are you such and such?
It's like, whoa.
But I do appreciate all
of you guys watching and if you do ever see me,
please don't ever hesitate to just come up and say hi.
Have you ever been in a movie or on TV?
No, I haven't been in a movie.
I've been on TV before.
Yes, I've been on news channels before,
but I have a TV show coming out that I am on.
It's gonna be on the History channel
and it's coming out soon,
so I'll make sure
that we post that so you guys can see.
What's your favorite YouTube video you've ever done
and your least favorite?
One of my favorite ones is actually our first video.
I don't know if any of you've seen it.
It's probably not.
It's like 300 views, but it's about measles.
Oh, oh, so you tested positive,
measles, measles, measles.
This is the first time I've ever filmed anything.
So going back and looking at myself film that,
I've come a long way.
What is the craziest thing you've ever
pulled outta somebody's body?
They're all crazy things.
Pulling out like nails that have been accidentally like shot
into somebody via nail gun are always gnarly to do,
'cause you have to be creative to try to figure
out how to get them out depending on where they're at.
And glass is actually really hard
to get outta somebody's body.
You can feel it but you can't see it.
What would you do for a living if you weren't a doctor?
Now that I'm older,
and a little bit more life experience
I would do like resort management.
Help people on vacation
in a really nice tropical, good weather area.
I think that's a thing.
Or I'd be a professional golfer.
- Dammit.
.- What is your biggest regret you have in life?
I have some things I wish I had,
maybe more time with family members, but regrets?
I don't have any regrets.
- Not one regret, huh?
Like not even a single letter.
- Everything that I've done in my life that's led me
to this moment right now, I'm very happy with.
Why is there a coin on my shirt?
It's not a coin.
It's actually a really cool symbol.
It has a caduceus on it.
It has many origins.
It's Greek mythology also.
It had a snake in a rod.
Lots of it has to do
with healing and medicine and that's why it's used.
But it's the branding of this lab coat,
which a good friend
of mine gave to me to be able to wear on the show.
The company is called L'Atier Forte.
When I'm not working, what other activities
or what else do I do in my free time?
So outside of like activities, working out playing golf,
I actually do a ton of research on different types
of supplements and trying to make our bodies work better
and giving it an advantage.
And I've been starting down that process
to actually make supplements that I can take
for myself and then actually offer everybody else
if they want to take it as well.
More on future supplements coming soon.
I'm very excited about it.
That does it for answering all these juicy questions
that you guys wanted me to answer.
Are there any questions that I didn't answer
that you want answers to?
Please leave me a comment
and maybe you'll actually do a part two of this.
