@drzackmd: @Dr. Nick this is Dr Zack. You featured me in your response video. Before anything else: I am glad you are still here, and I hope you are getting real support. Nobody deserves to be bullied. I also want to be accurate about my part in it. Back in March I said your content was unprofessional for someone in healthcare, and I still believe that. But I also said one mistake does not define a man, that I hoped you found success, and that I would never wish you harm. That is all still true today. All of us in this field are figuring out where humor ends and professionalism begins, and none of us get it right every time. Wishing you better days ahead. If anyone watching this is struggling, please reach out. In the US you can call or text 988. #OnlineBullying #MentalHealthAwareness #MedicalCommunity #AccountabilityAndGrace #988

I just felt his “apology” was shifting blame to everyone who got offended by him because it’s our fault we allowed ourselves to feel offended in the first place. He changed the narrative, and added unnecessary context to try and make his response more valid. Every woman has dealt with this type of “apology” before, he can’t take criticism nor accountability for why people reacted the way they did. That’s ego, not reflection. He wants to be a victim in a situation he created. While yes, people attacked in ways that were wrong he is solely focusing on that because it will gain more sympathy. He is intentionally ignoring all the creative criticism and feedback from his peers because that requires reflection, accountability and acknowledgment and he isn’t there yet emotionally. I appreciate when doctors are open to critique from their peers because it’s shows they are humble enough to accept others shared perspectives.

Peter Attia, Betsy Grunch, this. I had taken an approach to not comment on individuals and I think this was a validation of that, even if the underlying topics associated with those controversies are all super important so I can certainly see why others engage.

Not to mention he didnt apologize ONCE, took zero accountability in that video and went as far as to say "people deserve a doctor like me" ????????? Ummmm we have all lost the plot.

It’s also important to know that if you create content, you could be a grandma knitting a sweater and people will comment something negative. It is tough being a content creator no matter who you are. When you post controversial content, it is even more brutal.

He literally didn’t talk about a pt experience . I think many of u jumped in to be “Im on the right side” without even considering.

Sir you’re a class act and better than me. Reasons why you’re a doctor and I’m not 😅 Bc I would have been at Stark & Stark the next day after that video filing defamation and cease and desist paperwork😂 No where in your video were you disrespectful or condescending towards him. Neither did you encourage that behavior from others. Unless he has something otherwise from you, why put you in his thumbnail insinuating you were part of the reason for his attempt?

I vividly recalled your stitch and was super confused why he included a thumbnail of yours in his recent video! You kept it general, never called for him to be penalized, much less bullied, and really focused on professionalism (from what I can recall). You and other professionals are allowed to not like his content. He should sit with that, as does any other licensed professional who is subject to a code of conduct. Unfortunately, the extreme harassment and threats that he received have probably made him associate ANY criticism with unjust attacks. 🫤 Like you, I hope he does well and never gets to that headspace again. I also hope he rethinks his online content.

I am so glad you posted a video because at the start of his video seeing your stitch caught me off guard 😳 I was like, “please don’t let Dr Zack’s stitch be what pushed him” Thank God it wasn’t. ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

Ooooh you hit the nail on the head. How the messenger receives the message is something you cannot control when you put content out there. Which is why it’s wise to always err on the side of caution when making videos and thinking through how an audience may perceive something.

I agree with you completely. No matter which way you spin it what he did was wrong and he takes no accountability for it. Glad he is okay of course. Two things can be true in this situation.

two things can be true at the same time. His content was inappropriate, but as always, the internet was extreme with how they handled it. I will stand by the fact that patients go through enough, and they shouldn't be the butt of anyone's joke, but I would never want someone to take their life over social media either.

I was really surprised he chose you as a screenshot for his post. Your content has always been educational and professional. The way you spoke about his video was professional and, if I remember right, about how important it is for women to feel comfortable to come in for appointments and not feel embarrassed.

he punched down as hard as he could, and based on his non-acknowledgement, he'll probably do it again.

I don’t think you have anything to be sorry about. It’s not like you were bullying him like the other people online were you were simply responding to his video that he uploaded to the worldwide Internet.

I was so disappointed by his answer video. It was such a great opportunity to reflect and empathize with those he was hurting, then apologize and move on. His take is very defensive and it worries me that he will have a similar approach when it comes to patient care.
