The problem with that question is that Youtube has channels by doctors as well as quacks.

I wouldn't use it as a consulting tool, but I enjoy watching videos such as this:

LOL! That was fun, seeing Dr. House again; he was a character! My veterinarian of many years admired House just because he could pretty much say what he felt about the humans involved. Vets care for the animals, and sometimes they get pet owners that are idiots. My vet encouraged me to study to be a vet, but I told him I wouldn't be able to resist slamming stupid pet owners up against a wall. He nodded, having had to resist that urge for many years.

He agreed the medical part was dramatized for effect, but it was, as the doctor in the video said, a very entertaining show. I got to see a lot of actual medical procedures at the vet's office, because he wasn't bound by patient privacy issues, and academically it was very interesting. He was, and still is, a great diagnostician and surgeon, though he is mostly retired now.

Well, there it is - there are videos worth watching on YouTube! Thanks!
