Summary

Watch the full video interview with Dr. Ed Hope here: https://go.doctormikemedia.com/youtube/EdHope Ed Hope is an emergency room physician in the UK and a popular YouTube creator who specializes in reaction videos to medical drama and medical memes. Funny enough... so do I. That was the source of some YouTube "beef" that emerged between us a few years ago. Ed made his way to NYC to come on The Checkup so we could hash things out between us and finally lay the issue to rest. We also debated the differences between the US and the UK healthcare system, and which specialty is better: EM or FM.
