1
How do you know if the information you are getting online is legit?
2
That's easy.
3
Watch our channel.
4
We are the authority on everything.
5
Welcome to Talking With Docs.
6
I'm Dr. Brad Whittington.
7
I'm Dr. Paul Zapp.
8
Obviously joking.
9
That's not true.
10
No. Are you listening to a couple of guys in blue scrubs and blue caps when you're saying, Wait a minute.
11
Oh, first of all, we're wearing these because we're in an operating room
12
because we're going to operate in like 20 minutes from now.
13
So people that say, hey, what's with the costumes and the do -rags and the outfits?
14
That's why.
15
All right, so we just want to give you some guidelines because we search
16
a lot of stuff social media all the time to get health information, right, but it's important to know
17
What information you're getting is good information right from a health point of view and what is
18
Entertainment but not really good health information.
19
Right, so like
20
Surgeon General versus
21
Cliff Clavin for those of you in the genre of cheers Right, right.
22
We want to know not someone who's just talking out the side of the mouth and they're not an expert,
23
we want to know a bunch of different things.
24
We have a seven -step approach on how to figure, is the information that you're getting reliable,
25
and can you trust it and use it to make health decisions?
26
Okay.
27
And we're not slamming anyone.
28
No!
29
We're not going to pick out any health person.
30
We're not saying this person's wrong, that person's wrong.
31
Don't care.
32
So if you are a health influencer and you think, oh, they're talking about me, we're not.
33
We're not talking about anyone specific.
34
We're just talking about in general.
35
Even use these guidelines when you're watching a talk about Doc's video. For sure.
36
Number one.
37
Check the source, okay?
38
Okay.
39
The source of the information that you are looking at.
40
Is it a healthcare professional or, and if you don't trust healthcare professionals, then fine.
41
Is it like a scientist in the area?
42
Is it someone who, is it coming from a university or is it coming from the government?
43
Make sure the source aligns sort of with what you believe to be true or not true or right or not right.
44
100%.
45
Yeah, that's good.
46
Number one.
47
Number two, verify the credentials of the source or the person who is telling you this.
48
So you may not just even trust that they are who they say they are because that happens all the time.
49
So you want to make sure that whatever job they're saying they do, they do it.
50
And that that job is related to some of the statements that they're making.
51
All right.
52
That's a good one.
53
Okay.
54
The next one is cross -reference.
55
Okay.
56
You don't want to just get sort of a one -off cross -reference the information you get.
57
Check it against things that are sort of thought to be gold standards, like PubMed if you do a PubMed search,
58
then you can get into some peer -reviewed literature there to see if that stuff is true.
59
I've been burned before.
60
I used some AI programs to try and—I was putting a talk together, I needed some references, and it completely invented references.
61
Right.
62
Just because AI said it doesn't make it true.
63
Right.
64
I had to cross -reference them on PubMed.
65
I'm like, wait, that article doesn't even exist.
66
Yes.
67
Okay?
68
So you really want to be careful and cross -reference
69
and make sure what you're—the information you're getting is validated in some other valid source.
70
Okay, number four is looking for citations.
71
So if a claim is made,
72
citing a specific study that is not something that's been shown in a whole bunch of studies and accepted as common knowledge,
73
you maybe want to make sure that they're asked for providing a reference.
74
So sometimes we'll do this depending on the specificity of it, but we don't do it for every single health fact that we say.
75
Maybe we should.
76
We do journal clubs and things where we look over articles
77
and bring articles that we've read that we think you might be interested in.
78
But yeah, that's what you want to do.
79
You want to set those citations.
80
Sure.
81
Now, the next one is look out for red flags.
82
I think this maybe should have been number one, to be honest with you.
83
Yeah, yeah.
84
A red flag would be something like the website
85
or the YouTube video or something that's coming from a company that's trying to sell you something. For sure.
86
So if it's trying to sell you something and it's giving you medical information to support its sale, you have to be careful.
87
Yeah.
88
Because there's different intention there. For sure.
89
Is it to educate me or is it to sell me something?
90
Or really extreme views or fear mongering or that kind of stuff.
91
I mean, obviously there are some things in health that we need to be respective of or fearful of,
92
but yeah You got to be a little bit careful with the language
93
that they use and just gain us all so and and you can use a rule of thumb
94
Is this an advertisement or is this education?
95
Agreed.
96
You have to be careful with that.
97
Okay, number six is is this kind of something that's common amongst all people?
98
So is there a pure consensus
99
or is this view like a strong outlier where like the whole body of science for our whole lives?
100
I said one thing and also one percent guess what that's not true.
101
The world actually is flat Yeah. Is it?
102
No. Okay.
103
So, and then the last thing I would say is watch out for anecdotal stuff, okay?
104
This is even common in medicine.
105
And even the way sometimes we practice, we are all influenced by our own experience.
106
Right.
107
So, like an example in the anecdotal view, like, I took ginseng and my cancer was cured.
108
Bing.
109
You know, like, that's an extreme anecdotal sort of thing that has absolutely no science behind it.
110
So if someone is saying something that's totally anecdotal, that information may not be translatable to you.
111
Yeah, and the phrase like, your anecdote is not evidence, it's a little bit of an inflammatory statement,
112
but a lot of times that's like a clapback to people that say, oh yeah, my cousin did this, sorry, your anecdote is not evidence.
113
And that's a true statement, your anecdote is not evidence.
114
Yeah, and a lot of people leave comments about stuff like that, and we love those comments, keep doing that.
115
But we just recognize that, okay, this happened to this person.
116
That's interesting.
117
But if you start seeing like 100 ,000 people, then you're like, oh, okay, something's here.
118
Or maybe not 100 ,000.
119
But in any case, just watch out for anecdotal evidence.
120
Now you know, because there's a lot of stuff out there.
121
I think nowadays it's hard to get your family doctor.
122
So people are turning to the internet or social media to find health information.
123
So it's a necessary part of the world that we live in right now.
124
So yeah, just proceed with caution, be sensible.
125
And if it's too good to be true, if it doesn't quite make sense, it probably isn't true.
126
Just like, you know what I mean?
127
The miracle cure.
128
Watch out for the miracle cures.
129
Yeah, miracle cures.
130
You have miracle.
131
And I mean, I saw something where
132
Mark Zuckerberg was saying they're not going to do fact checking anymore.
133
Yes.
134
I didn't even know they were doing fact checking, to be honest.
135
But it sounds like it's going to be a bit more of a free -for -all out there in days to come, in days ahead.
136
Wild West.
137
Yeah.
138
So just be careful with this information you're getting.
139
Even us.
140
People challenge us.
141
We love it.
142
It's great you leave comments and you challenge us.
143
We're always right, though.
144
No, I'm just kidding.
145
And that's actually one thing that YouTube has done.
146
And it's actually said, for channels you actually have to apply, improve your credentials, say, hey, this is from a registered, licensed medical professional.
147
So actually they have that.
148
They've done some of that for us, saying, listen, this person is not someone who's saying this.
149
They actually have trained in this.
150
There is some of that.
151
And some of the stuff we say may be wrong.
152
The half -life of medical knowledge is five years.
153
It's probably changing for sure.
154
Right?
155
And we've made videos for over five years.
156
So that means the videos we made five years ago, half of it's wrong.
157
You can see that right away.
158
In our earlier videos, like, yeah, you're going to have your hip replacement, you're to be in the hospital for three to five days.
159
Yeah, and now it's the same day.
160
It's like they need to go home the same day.
161
So stuff we said back then is now wrong.
162
That's just the way it is.
163
So there are some guidelines you can use if you're looking to get some health information online.
164
Hopefully you do get good information.
165
Hopefully your searches do help you,
166
but always, always, always to check with your healthcare provider if you're thinking of a radical change in your lifestyle and health. For sure.

Cos'è la tecnica dello Shadowing?

Shadowing è una tecnica di apprendimento delle lingue supportata da studi scientifici, originariamente sviluppata per la formazione dei traduttori professionisti e resa popolare dal poliglotta Dr. Alexander Arguelles. Il metodo è semplice ma potente: ascolti un audio in inglese di madrelingua e lo ripeti immediatamente ad alta voce — come un'ombra che segue il parlante con un ritardo di solo 1–2 secondi. A differenza dell'ascolto passivo o degli esercizi di grammatica, lo shadowing costringe il tuo cervello e i muscoli della bocca a elaborare e riprodurre simultaneamente i modelli di discorso reale. La ricerca dimostra che migliora significativamente la precisione della pronuncia, l'intonazione, il ritmo, il discorso connesso, la comprensione dell'ascolto e la fluidità del parlato — rendendolo uno dei metodi più efficaci per la preparazione alla prova di speaking dell'IELTS e per la comunicazione reale in inglese.
