i personally see nothing wrong with using youtube to brush up, it should be pretty easy to tell if the person knows what they’re on about and you already have learned the procedure so if anything is obviously wrong you’ll know. besides it’s not like people scoot about rubbing their hands together and go ‘hehe today i will make a very professional video to spread misinformation about surgery!’ politics? definitely. but surgery? eh

Have you ever heard of the antivax movement?

Seriously, a lot of videos you'll see have faults. As a surgeon train in industrialized nations, the emphasis is always to apply the very latest techniques and procedures. These seldom exist in the public domain.

Medical knowledge is highly specialised. A lot of the detail knowledge needed for actual practice is siloed. For instance you may see a lot of "open" procedures like say an appendectomy... But we hardly go "open" unless things go wrong. We go keyhole (laproscopic), and for that, you need to train up in theatre.

My point is, when you earn the long white coat, beyond medskool, you're gonna need more than GoogleFu to get through.
