Health professionals are increasingly interested in social networks. Some do it to publicize their clinics, but others do not have commercial purposes and just want to promote healthy habits. Within this second category there is a Mexican doctor who in recent months has gone viral due to the type of content he generates.
In this regard, a Statista analysis shows that currently WhatsApp is the social network with the highest percentage of users in Mexico. Of the total number of people who use these communication tools, 94 percent have an account and use it frequently. In part, it is because it allows you to send text messages and make free calls.
For its part, the same research places YouTube as another of the options preferred by users. To date, it is one of the best-known video platforms and even surpasses most television channels in popularity.
Now, although the number of subscribers is not as large as others, when analyzing the clicks then Youtube becomes one of the most consulted internet pages in the world. To date, it is estimated that each month it receives 14.3 billion visits.
In that sense, one of the characteristics of this platform is that anyone can open an account and publish whatever they want. Within the long list of creators, there is a Mexican doctor who stands out and is today known for his viral content.
We refer to Dr Carlos Guerrerobetter known on social media as “Warrior Pole”. Most of its digital content is for popular science, but always in a friendly tone that is easy for anyone to understand.
For his part, his most recent YouTube video was quite interesting because it highlighted the quality of education in our country. Consists in ask basic questions about health to everyone he meets on public roads in Mexico City. For each correct answer he gave away 50 pesos.

- How many bones has the human body?
- What is normal blood pressure?
- Where in the body is the bicep located?
- Where is the sternocleidomastoid located?
