I wanted to quit school when my dad died but I was only a freshman in HS. My mom of course let me take time off and my teachers were all in agreement even though it was during midterms. My mom worked at my HS as well which was a blessing. Sadly my mom is gone too now. She passed unexpectedly just this year. Everyone grieves in their own ways and there’s no one way or right way to grieve. I’m so sorry for your loss of your mom too. Losing a parent young is so hard and painful. ❤️💔

My mom passed when I was 12 - my dad was diagnosed with terminal lung / liver cancer when I was 18. When he was in the hospital, they asked if I wanted a DNR order for him. For one, not something any 18 year old should have to answer, but I asked them if it would do any good to bring him back. When they said no, I said yes, let him go. I spent years wondering if I did the right thing. Thank you, Dr. Mike.

You've never been anything but open and honest with your community, and opening up your heart to tell such a personal story like this in such a public way takes a lot of strength, courage and character. You going public with this story is undoubtedly going to help someone going through something similar. Thanks for being you.

I am a retired Hospice nurse. When families insisted on CPR when there was no hope of reversing what had happened, it was very difficult. We always tried to move people toward acceptance of death long before the heart stops beating, Sometimes it’s entirely unexpected like Dr. Mike’s mum. That’s tough to process.

Oh, I am so sorry you lost your mom way too early. I am a survivor of ALL leukemia (diagnosed on my 49th birthday). I was lucky -- after an unrelated stem cell transplant (which almost killed me) -- I survived and am now retired at 65 -- also got married at 52 for the first time -- I had thought that my life was over and done with. So, so sorry -- I have had times where I have wondered why I survived (no kids, no significant other at the time) -- the guilt is there. I just discovered you and your your KZfaq channel and appreciate your honesty. I knew I had a good oncologist when he took a call during one of my appointments where he was asking another doctor about how he should treat a patient -- I complimented him afterward -- I was glad he said that he did not know, but he knew who the experts were. I had seen too many Ph.Ds not able to tell students or anyone that they "did not know" and were unable to seek out the answers they needed. Bravo! I am sure your mother would be so proud of you!

Lost my mom to cancer at 23 while in med school as well. It was tough but I finished. However, I realized that I was meant to be more than a doctor. I was meant to be a nurse. Someone who spends more time with the patient at the bedside. It’s a very rewarding job. Thank you for sharing your story. To all those who want to be a doctor to “take care of the sick and make them feel better”. Please consider being a nurse. We are short nurses at the bedside. We need more people willing to really lay “hands on” the sick and help them feel better.

I don't know if you'll see this, Mike, but I really, really wish I could hug you right now. I lost my mom to metastatic breast cancer in 2019, just three days after her birthday. When she went on home hospice care, I had a long and serious discussion with her hospice nurse about DNR, because when the cancer had reemerged, it had done so in her bones, and doing CPR would just mean shattering already frail ribs and spreading the cancer around even further. To this date, it is still the hardest thing I've ever had to do, and I'm tearing up as I type this, but I signed the DNR for her. Mike, thank you for sharing your family's story with us.

So sad! The breeder was so kind and we were able to get mom another puppy who is now fully grown and still sits on my mom's lap like a big old baby. Animals are amazing.

Hey Doc, that was so sad and so awesome at the same time, just another reason why you are so loved by your followers, I surely wish you were my personal doc and I have a feeling you are not only one of the best but the best doc around. Stay blessed.

As a grandson of a grandfather who succumbed to smoking-related cancers, I can really tell what this pain feels like. It is a type of pain that really never goes away. It just grows with you. I am so sorry, Dr. Mike. I hope they are both proud of us in Heaven (or wherever they all may be).

I had Acute Myeloid Leukemia when I was 12. I’m so sorry you had to experience watching her go through it. Thankfully I didn’t need a bone marrow transplant, and am successfully in remission. Love watching you❤️

Very touched by this story. As an ER doc I really hear your point on the importance of empathy. It’s another day at work for me but the worst and scariest day for many of my patients’; sometimes a day they will remember for the rest of their lives. You have a gift, thank you for sharing your stories and perspectives with us!

Beautiful woman, inside and out, and you look like her. I'm so sorry for yours and her struggle, and loss. She lived a life of service, to both educating children and raising a family. You honor both your parents well, by being both a great physician and educator! Be very proud. I know we all are!

I am so sorry for your loss. Your mom seems like she was the most powerful and strong woman I have ever seen. Not only were you in medical school, which is hard on its own, and also losing your mom. You are so inspiring, and you’re doing so well to even be here now, and possibly inspire millions to cure others, just like you! Remember your mom will always be with you - and stay strong ❤️

Thank You for continuing and completing your training ... we need compassionate and outstanding doctors in all fields.

I lost my dad a couple of years ago to Multiple Myeloma, so watching this was very real to me. Unless you've experienced this kind of loss, you don't know what it's like. I'm so glad you took the positives with you and used them to help you become a better doctor! Thanks for sharing your story.
