After his interactions with the late streamer ‘Reckful,’ popular Twitch psychiatrist ‘Dr. K’ has released a public response following the reprimand of his medical license.
Dr. K, also known by his real name Dr. Alok Kanojia M.D, is well-known within the Twitch community for his frequent collaborations with popular broadcasters, where he conducts live-streamed therapy sessions.
Despite this, one of his well-known clients from the internet has filed a complaint against his medical license in February 2022, following some of their sessions together.
In July 2024, the Board of Registration in Medicine officially reprimanded Dr. K’s license due to his involvement in six sessions with Byron ‘Reckful’ Bernstein, a popular streamer who tragically passed away in 2020 by suicide.
The Board stated that Dr. K’s actions “undermined public confidence in the integrity of the medical profession.”Although his license was reprimanded, it was not revoked and there are currently no plans for further action to be taken against it.
After the news broke, HealthyGamerGG took to Reddit to share a statement on the issue, clarifying that the reprimand would not result in any financial penalties or restrictions on Dr. K’s medical practice.
Dr. K is known for inviting high-profile influencers onto his Twitch channel for live-streamed therapy sessions.
On July 26, Dr. K went live to further discuss the matter, emphasizing the Board’s concern for “healthy”oversight within the medical community.
He started off by stating that, in light of privacy regulations for patients, he is unable to “defend”himself against criticism — and would “never”disclose a client’s confidential information, under any circumstances.
“It is a relief for me that the Medical Board has the authority to review patient information and make their own judgement,”he stated. “I understand why some may have negative thoughts about me, as you were not privy to all the information.”
“Engaging in this process is an essential aspect of being a content creator,”he stated. “I believe it is a valuable and beneficial process, as it allows for proper supervision and oversight.”
The situation was described as “healthy and fair”by him, as he stated that this is precisely how these things are meant to occur.
“The purpose of medical boards is precisely to address situations where a doctor deviates from the norm. In such cases, it is important to determine whether their actions are acceptable or not.”
“For the past two years, we have been working in collaboration with the Medical Board. In my opinion, it has been a revealing, humbling, just, and superb experience.”
