We’re back looking at the medical science in the MCU! Rewatching this I LOVED it 3000 after the arc (no pun intended) Iron Man had in Endgame. Hope you enjoy revisiting it with me. Timestamps to scenes: 00:31 - Dr Hansen on healing / regeneration 03:36 - Killian discusses our pain centre 08:04 - Killian & Potts on gene therapy 10:57 - Happy in hospital 13:16 - Tony’s panic attacks / mental health 20:28 - Tony in surgery
I've learnt a lot from your videos, even though I'm not training to be a Doctor or anything but I just wanted to say I'm enjoying the MCU videos and I hope you keep it up.
Sometimes when my brain doesn't wanna eat up the information, I just enjoy listening to your voice while doing knitting cause it's so soothing and calm and makes my brain happy
As a guy who has struggled with severe anxiety in the past, the depiction of what happens during a severe panic attack in this movie is honestly one of the most realistic I’ve seen. How it comes out of nowhere, the not being able to stand still and the breathless feeling, and how distractions can help. It’s not something that’s easy to nail. Especially in a superhero movie.
Hay, do you think you can do a review of the medical science in big hero 6? Like examine Baymax and see how effective he would be as a actual medical robot? That would be cool.

oh the doctors know this. but they can only diagnose based on what you tell them in the first place. if you only give up physical symptoms then you only get a physical fix. a lot of the time people think "i had bad doctors, and after years and years i finally found a good doctor" but what it probably most likly is, is that as time goes on you get more and more frustrated. you share more and more about what is actually causing the problem. stuff the first "bad" doctors didnt have access to. so after years of that, giving the next doctor a little bit more to work with, people get a "good" doctor. even the best mechanics cant fix your car if the only thing you let them fix is the fact you havn't changed your oil at all.
@@foxboy64 Sadly this isn't always the case.

8:20 Kinda makes sense that Pepper is so concerned about weaponizing Extremis. This is a universe where Hulk and Captain America are a reality, both results of supersoldier experiments, not to forget how people tried several times to use peaceful technologies like the Arc Reactor for evil purposes.

Plus She was given an offer to MAKE those genes weapons, hence why she declined. The idea was never bad it's just in this context he wishes to turn it to weapons... and we all know how that goes..
I really love the way you give insight while also acknowledging the medium you're covering. Compared to others doing this format, some just lambast any inaccuracy without considering why they may have made that choice.
I know a lot of people didn't care for Iron Man 3 (admittedly, it wasn't my favorite when it was released) but my mental health had been in a pretty rapid decline through 2019 and then last year my mom passed very suddenly. Needless to say my mental health to an extravagant nosedive after. Seeing Tony work through his ptsd gives me some hope that I'll make it back to normalcy eventually. A year later and I've just now been able to go back to work for the most part.
"If we were to use 100% of our brains we'd have a seizure" got me thinking about Pikachu on Acid and the movie Lucy.. Guess she was just trippin the whole damn time
It is interesting seeing representations of PTSD. I have complex PTSD and the treatment is long and involved, with several different therapies going on. The only issue I really had with iron man 3 was the suggestion that you can just think yourself through it. Man I wish it were that simple!
But does he ever truely get passed it? We see in Age of Ultron that its still his worst fear that haunts him, never going away leading him to do drastic measures. In Infinity war we see him talk to doctor strange and angerly tell him this is what hes been preparing for since 2012
Something I found really helpful (and the poor mans version of Starks suit) is a Fitbit. Usually the Fitbit notices my anxiety before I do, and then I can actively breathe my way down and see the heart rate drop. This is good for people who don't necessarily 'notice' their attacks until they're well and truly in them.
@@neekouou From what I've read season 2 begins production in July. So it won't be airing for a while yet. Hope that helps. Also for various manga spin-offs (if you're so interested) a new one about the Platelets was announced a while back as well.
@@yeetman6655 It's a shame your reading ability is comparatively lacking. Most people fluent in a language can confidently skim over a single missing letter and still work out the meaning of the sentence. "When google exists" isn't exactly hard to parse.
A video I’m sure a lot of us were excited for after your first Iron Man video. I’m glad you went into as much depth with PTSD being shown in the film as it deserved! An entertaining video as always, Dr. Hope, and I love forward to your future videos too whether they are Marvel related or medical in general! A question for you: Do you think Tony still has his PTSD symptoms in all future Marvel films or do you think after this film uses the plot point his disorder suddenly disappears? Interested to know your thoughts.
I like to think the disorder was downplayed, but not gone after this movie. And then it got supercharged when he heard those soul-crushing words "Mr. Stark, I don't feel so good."
Lord Lycan Definitely. You can almost see him having flashbacks to New York in Endgame, especially when you see the final battle. I understand why they downplayed it, but also would have been interesting to see them implement his trouble into the team-up films!
I don't specifically know PTSD but with my first hand experience with Generalized Anxiety Disorder and some acute Panic Attacks. The anxiety/emotions/thoughts maybe constantly there but not always on a outbreak level, most of the time it's at "I'm kinda worry" level and do not peak until something happened or you thinking about something happened/will happen.
I’ve had PTSD for 24 years, and it never goes away, even if the symptoms do. It still shows up on brain scans. However, as others have said, I would say Tony still suffers symptoms from the PTSD, as it was made worse by the event in New York, which bothers him until Endgame. Even though his “dream” from Wanda came from the Mind Stone, it seems to have affected him much more than any of the other Avengers, likely because he never really dealt with his original PTSD trigger.
I still think it'd be good continuing this series by going through the medical scenes in the agents of shield tv series. There's loads of good scenes you could pick out from there and analyse =P
Great video! One thing at the end is that they use a magnet to attract the shrapnel, I think this was done for example in Ww2 to literally extract shrapnel directly out of patients.
I heard PIXAR is looking for some talented artists for working on CGI... you should definitely apply. I was honestly Astounded by your work. Seriously good video. I suffer from PTSD and it was good to see your analysis here.
Would you consider covering the Medical Scenes in the recent HBO show Chernobyl? It deals with radiation sickness (Unsurprisingly) so I think it might be a good change of pace from the discussion of more ”mainstream” ailments like cancer and cardiovascular
When I had a anxiety attack for the first time about a year and a half ago I had the symptoms of a heart attack, but on the wrong side of the body. Numb right arm, Light headed, shortness of breath, etc. Aside from being prescribed Buspirone with no refills, I've been using CBD oil to feel generally normal and sleep without waking up completely tense and still tired.
I love this series so much - seriously it's so informative. But I've gotta say, I really, REALLY appreciate that when inaccuracies do come up, you actually comment on it being clearly down to narrative or visual necessity rather than just giving the usual 'well they've got that wrong' response!
I didn't know pain is also released to actually prevent us from using the injured area, that's actually pretty cool. Iron Man 3 is the most underrated MCU movie
It's always fascinated me that when you hurt yourself, remembering it later does not evoke the same response; you don't feel the pain again, although you remember that it hurt. The one exception being emotional pain. Recalling when someone/something broke your heart can hurt about as much as it did originally...
Thanks for doing the PTSD discussion for Iron Man 3. Honestly I loved that they portrayed a part of it and RDJ is such a stellar actor that I think even people without ptsd can feel that stress. My PTSD is mainly flashbacks, hyper vigilance side of things Luckily not the aggression part. When I was diagnosed I'd already been living with it for over 10 years and because I'm currently trying to recover from multiple hip surgeries it's not been a priority to deal with it because of the concern that the EMDR could make me worse initially and I'm struggling enough to keep up due to the difficult and very painful recovery process for my hip. I honestly don't know how much of my not sleeping for days and vigilance stuff is influenced by the pain from my hip. I had always struggled to sleep ever since about 3weeks after the incident that initiated the symptoms I now know were PTSD related. But it's gotten worse since I got hurt and had surgeries to correct the damage. My trigger responses are as bad as ever. I can talk about what happened without triggering the flashbacks but if I see images related to panic underwater, or anything like someone strangling someone or holding a knife to their throat or if someone (even myself) touches the front of my neck it's immediate flashes. It even happened when my mum accidentally touched the left side of my neck I literally jumped back and was shaking so bad as the images went through my head, I really scared her cause she knows what happens but hasn't seen it that bad before. Very long message but felt the need to say thank you. I just wish I knew what was pure ptsd symptoms and how much was the pain causing me not to sleep etc. Anyway thanks again :)
Yessss it has returned I can't wait to see this. So as always thank you so much Dr. Hope I'll always support you and your channel. I find all these so entertaining and educational.
I feel like I should elaborate on something he covers a bit. People can experience panic attack-like symptoms from physical disorders as well as mental ones. My sister has been diagnosed with a somewhat rare disorder called postural orthostatic tachycardia syndrome, often shortened to POTS, as well as Ehrlos-Danlos Syndrome (EDS), and other malnormities. She often in the past experienced what appeared to be a panic attack, but wasn't traceable back to any mental trauma. Doctors and my family were confused until specialists were able to diagnose her with POTS, a condition of the circulatory system which causes the blood to not reach the brain as quickly as usual, and thus starts a loop of anxiety/panic attack-like symptoms to occur. Changes in her diet, an exercise regimen including aerobics and therapy, and very careful management of when she allows herself to be active have transformed her life from an anxious mess to a functioning young adult with bright prospects. Now, I'm not saying that all anxiety disorders are really POTS or another similar disoderder in disguise. Mental disorders are serious and real conditions, and need to be treated as such. But I will say that everyone should listen to their body, get multiple opinions from multiple doctors if they need it, and make sure to not rule any treatments out until you've tried them. There's still a lot we don't understand about the body, and that means doctors can still be wrong sometimes. I hope this helps someone. 😁
Considering that I have to deal with chronic pain due to Ehlers Danlos Syndrome and Fibromyalgia, the explanation about how that works in the brain helps me to understand a lot batter so many things about these chronic illnesses. Thank you.
This guy is basically the only way I can learn medical information without feeling like my bodies going numb from being grossed out by the human body and without triggering my gag reflex
Seeing this vid actually makes me a lot happier seeing how realistic the MCU make their movies. Like Ik it isn’t 100% realistic but that’s understandable and isn’t expected but they’ve actually put a lot of effort in to try make it as realistic as they can.
my brother had one of those patient operated morphine pumps when he tore his anterior cruciate ligament, during surgery some sort of infection got in there which, combined with the fact that my brother did a lot of drugs back in the day, rendered other pain killers ineffective. according to what my brother said it's impossible to overdose with one of those because it'll knock you out before you can push the button too often. he also said that morphine doesn't actually make the pain go away, as he said: "the pain is still there, but it doesn't bother you anymore."
I really appreciate this kind of video. Despite the realism or the true nature of those scenes, you're making them more interesting and educational at the same time. For someone like me who didn't study medicine, I really love this!
I think in the first two movies the shrapnel was supposed to be inoperable, which is why Tony removing the shrapnel in this movie wasn't well received, because it seemed like a plothole. You kind of have to assume medicine progressed kind of a lot between films in the MCU universe.
Your show is great, I'm learning a lot. Thanks very much for carrying on. Also, I'm so glad about the consistent presence of that very fine-looking Strat in the background :)
i can agree having and anxiety disorder sucks. been living with that issue most of my life. started getting better after taking some medicine my doctor prescribed me.
One possible explanation for the lateness of the shrapnel surgery is that everything done in the cave made it riskier to remove the arc reactor unit altogether because it occupied such a large part of his chest cavity. Then in Iron Man 3, Extremis came along and they were able to modify it to promote Tony healing from a surgery to remove the shrapnel and the arc reactor unit.
So many flashbacks to AP psychology. I guess I must've learned a lot since I knew a lot about the psychology and neuroscience in this movie that I forgot was there
So the reason he didn’t get the arc reactor removed earlier was because he felt like it was his identity as Ironman. If he removed it he would be losing that part of himself.
Extreme strength, like on the order of throwing someone bodily through the air, I think could be accomplished by adrenaline and a removal of the limitations on one's body (like inhibiting pain signals which limit you so you don't over strain your body). Sufficiently strong people can already toss people through the air, if they can already deal with the weight and their limiters don't prevent it. Overheating one's body though and surviving sounds ridiculous, particularly to the point where one would super heat metal at a touch or become a fuel air bomb. I'm sure altering someone's brain so they have direct control over their body temperature could be entirely possible. We can already unconsciously do this (flushing with embarrassment, seething with rage, etc.), and with training apparently it's possible to control your bodily functions enough to lower your body temperature on demand (by maybe one or two degrees). But your body would combust before you could melt steel beams, and I don't think you could change your internal temperature fast enough to produce an explosion like in the movies.
In the MCU, the super soldier arms race was going on since WWII, which came to light in Incredible Hulk, Iron Man 2, and the Avengers. Not to mention that Stark Industries was an arms manufacturer up to the first Iron Man film.
I've requested this before, but it'd be great to see your thoughts on Episode 6 of Band of Brothers, which follows a Field Medic in the middle of war. I think it'd be a really nice contrast to the regular medical shows, because we see someone having to make do with very few resources in very bad situations. You could talk about how the injuries would be dealt with today, if this person came into your hospital, and compare it to what happens in these very desperate circumstances. I think it'd be very educational and a lot of fun :)
I like how they are starting to show how superheroes are affected by mental health, because they honestly deal with a load of stuff that would impact their lives daily. Haven't seen Endgame yet, not the greatest fan of Stark's character but I think he's had the best development throughout the MCU series. You mentioning about doctors giving pills and not regarding mental health and treatment. I spent a long time with my local GP who just threw pills at me because of my "depression" and sent me to a mental health team that was really incompetent. I eventually refused to take the pills because there was no sign of improvement. After perseverance of trying to get help, though not PTSD I got a diagnosis couple of years ago (prefer not to say what) and have had more help since and lately started therapy at last. It just shows that there are doctors who still believe that pills solve a lot of problems (particularly with mental health), and my GP is one of them.
Yes, the whole "part of brain" bit came from Iron Man: Extremis, a comic by Warren Ellis that IM3 was (very loosely) based on. Other than that and healing factor, the comic book version of Extremis is very, very different as is the storyline built around it.
Adding to what you said about nerves job being to let you know something is wrong and protect the area I basically have what happens when that response goes wrong and becomes over active. I have full body chronic pain which causes hypersensitivity to touch (think like the feeling when you graze your knee as a kid but all over my body), burning sensations in my hands and feet, pain like electric shocks running through my body, along side stabbing pains and muscle and bone aches. I also have weirder neurological symptoms like I can't always tell when I'm too hot or cold, muscle spasms, suddenly collapsing like my brain has just been turned off ect. It really sucks.

Needless to say my mental health to an extravagant nosedive after. Seeing Tony work through his ptsd gives me some hope that I'll make it back to normalcy eventually. A year later and I've just now been able to go back to work for the most part.
"If we were to use 100% of our brains we'd have a seizure" got me thinking about Pikachu on Acid and the movie Lucy.. Guess she was just trippin the whole damn time
😂😂
It is interesting seeing representations of PTSD. I have complex PTSD and the treatment is long and involved, with several different therapies going on. The only issue I really had with iron man 3 was the suggestion that you can just think yourself through it. Man I wish it were that simple!
But does he ever truely get passed it? We see in Age of Ultron that its still his worst fear that haunts him, never going away leading him to do drastic measures. In Infinity war we see him talk to doctor strange and angerly tell him this is what hes been preparing for since 2012
You should play bio inc. Redemption! A steam game about either saving or killing a patient. Honestly its an awesome game
Something I found really helpful (and the poor mans version of Starks suit) is a Fitbit. Usually the Fitbit notices my anxiety before I do, and then I can actively breathe my way down and see the heart rate drop. This is good for people who don't necessarily 'notice' their attacks until they're well and truly in them.
Just to let you know that Hataraku Saibou/Cells at Work is getting a second season uwu
when?
@@neekouou when google exist
@@yeetman6655 which one? The google ? If so what I'm trying to say is just look it up on google
@@neekouou From what I've read season 2 begins production in July. So it won't be airing for a while yet. Hope that helps.
Also for various manga spin-offs (if you're so interested) a new one about the Platelets was announced a while back as well.
@@yeetman6655 It's a shame your reading ability is comparatively lacking. Most people fluent in a language can confidently skim over a single missing letter and still work out the meaning of the sentence. "When google exists" isn't exactly hard to parse.
A video I’m sure a lot of us were excited for after your first Iron Man video. I’m glad you went into as much depth with PTSD being shown in the film as it deserved! An entertaining video as always, Dr. Hope, and I love forward to your future videos too whether they are Marvel related or medical in general! A question for you: Do you think Tony still has his PTSD symptoms in all future Marvel films or do you think after this film uses the plot point his disorder suddenly disappears? Interested to know your thoughts.
I like to think the disorder was downplayed, but not gone after this movie.
And then it got supercharged when he heard those soul-crushing words
"Mr. Stark, I don't feel so good."
Lord Lycan Definitely. You can almost see him having flashbacks to New York in Endgame, especially when you see the final battle. I understand why they downplayed it, but also would have been interesting to see them implement his trouble into the team-up films!
I don't specifically know PTSD but with my first hand experience with Generalized Anxiety Disorder and some acute Panic Attacks. The anxiety/emotions/thoughts maybe constantly there but not always on a outbreak level, most of the time it's at "I'm kinda worry" level and do not peak until something happened or you thinking about something happened/will happen.
I’ve had PTSD for 24 years, and it never goes away, even if the symptoms do. It still shows up on brain scans. However, as others have said, I would say Tony still suffers symptoms from the PTSD, as it was made worse by the event in New York, which bothers him until Endgame. Even though his “dream” from Wanda came from the Mind Stone, it seems to have affected him much more than any of the other Avengers, likely because he never really dealt with his original PTSD trigger.
I still think it'd be good continuing this series by going through the medical scenes in the agents of shield tv series. There's loads of good scenes you could pick out from there and analyse =P
Doc: this is your spine.
Me: Wtf put it back
Subzero Wins.
Fatality.
Awesome Tomato
This joke is older than knock knock jokes
Great video! One thing at the end is that they use a magnet to attract the shrapnel, I think this was done for example in Ww2 to literally extract shrapnel directly out of patients.
I heard PIXAR is looking for some talented artists for working on CGI... you should definitely apply.
I was honestly Astounded by your work.
Seriously good video. I suffer from PTSD and it was good to see your analysis here.
Would you consider covering the Medical Scenes in the recent HBO show Chernobyl? It deals with radiation sickness (Unsurprisingly) so I think it might be a good change of pace from the discussion of more ”mainstream” ailments like cancer and cardiovascular
When I had a anxiety attack for the first time about a year and a half ago I had the symptoms of a heart attack, but on the wrong side of the body. Numb right arm, Light headed, shortness of breath, etc. Aside from being prescribed Buspirone with no refills, I've been using CBD oil to feel generally normal and sleep without waking up completely tense and still tired.
When Dr Hope begin talk about White blood cells, red blood cells, macrophage, dendritic cells in this video, all i can think is Cells At Work.
😂😂😂samme😂😂😂
Me too!
I love this series so much - seriously it's so informative. But I've gotta say, I really, REALLY appreciate that when inaccuracies do come up, you actually comment on it being clearly down to narrative or visual necessity rather than just giving the usual 'well they've got that wrong' response!
It's been a loong time i was waiting for this thank you so much and hello from Turkey! (not the animal the country ) :)
I didn't know pain is also released to actually prevent us from using the injured area, that's actually pretty cool.
Iron Man 3 is the most underrated MCU movie
"What a smoothie" why do I love this so much?
You say Somatosensory Cortex, I say Tomatosensory Cortex.
To be fair, if you get hit in the face by a tomato, then yes.
It's always fascinated me that when you hurt yourself, remembering it later does not evoke the same response; you don't feel the pain again, although you remember that it hurt. The one exception being emotional pain. Recalling when someone/something broke your heart can hurt about as much as it did originally...
There are 9 monsters who would dare to dislike this man’s pure, innocent content
Watching Dr. Hope to cope with the pain and fever of my tonsillitis: excellent treatment, 10/10
Thanks for doing the PTSD discussion for Iron Man 3. Honestly I loved that they portrayed a part of it and RDJ is such a stellar actor that I think even people without ptsd can feel that stress. My PTSD is mainly flashbacks, hyper vigilance side of things
Luckily not the aggression part. When I was diagnosed I'd already been living with it for over 10 years and because I'm currently trying to recover from multiple hip surgeries it's not been a priority to deal with it because of the concern that the EMDR could make me worse initially and I'm struggling enough to keep up due to the difficult and very painful recovery process for my hip. I honestly don't know how much of my not sleeping for days and vigilance stuff is influenced by the pain from my hip. I had always struggled to sleep ever since about 3weeks after the incident that initiated the symptoms I now know were PTSD related. But it's gotten worse since I got hurt and had surgeries to correct the damage. My trigger responses are as bad as ever. I can talk about what happened without triggering the flashbacks but if I see images related to panic underwater, or anything like someone strangling someone or holding a knife to their throat or if someone (even myself) touches the front of my neck it's immediate flashes. It even happened when my mum accidentally touched the left side of my neck I literally jumped back and was shaking so bad as the images went through my head, I really scared her cause she knows what happens but hasn't seen it that bad before. Very long message but felt the need to say thank you. I just wish I knew what was pure ptsd symptoms and how much was the pain causing me not to sleep etc. Anyway thanks again :)
A salamander is an amphibian, not a lizard.
You should do Saving Private Ryan
Agreed
Yessss it has returned I can't wait to see this. So as always thank you so much Dr. Hope I'll always support you and your channel. I find all these so entertaining and educational.
I feel like I should elaborate on something he covers a bit. People can experience panic attack-like symptoms from physical disorders as well as mental ones. My sister has been diagnosed with a somewhat rare disorder called postural orthostatic tachycardia syndrome, often shortened to POTS, as well as Ehrlos-Danlos Syndrome (EDS), and other malnormities. She often in the past experienced what appeared to be a panic attack, but wasn't traceable back to any mental trauma. Doctors and my family were confused until specialists were able to diagnose her with POTS, a condition of the circulatory system which causes the blood to not reach the brain as quickly as usual, and thus starts a loop of anxiety/panic attack-like symptoms to occur. Changes in her diet, an exercise regimen including aerobics and therapy, and very careful management of when she allows herself to be active have transformed her life from an anxious mess to a functioning young adult with bright prospects.
Now, I'm not saying that all anxiety disorders are really POTS or another similar disoderder in disguise. Mental disorders are serious and real conditions, and need to be treated as such. But I will say that everyone should listen to their body, get multiple opinions from multiple doctors if they need it, and make sure to not rule any treatments out until you've tried them. There's still a lot we don't understand about the body, and that means doctors can still be wrong sometimes. I hope this helps someone. 😁
Hence one of the diagnostic criteria listed was to rule out other medical conditions first.
Considering that I have to deal with chronic pain due to Ehlers Danlos Syndrome and Fibromyalgia, the explanation about how that works in the brain helps me to understand a lot batter so many things about these chronic illnesses. Thank you.
10:00 It wouldn't really explain why his body or hand are red hot, but I always imagined this ability was based on induction heating
This guy is basically the only way I can learn medical information without feeling like my bodies going numb from being grossed out by the human body and without triggering my gag reflex
Seeing this vid actually makes me a lot happier seeing how realistic the MCU make their movies. Like Ik it isn’t 100% realistic but that’s understandable and isn’t expected but they’ve actually put a lot of effort in to try make it as realistic as they can.
my brother had one of those patient operated morphine pumps when he tore his anterior cruciate ligament, during surgery some sort of infection got in there which, combined with the fact that my brother did a lot of drugs back in the day, rendered other pain killers ineffective.
according to what my brother said it's impossible to overdose with one of those because it'll knock you out before you can push the button too often.
he also said that morphine doesn't actually make the pain go away, as he said: "the pain is still there, but it doesn't bother you anymore."
I really appreciate this kind of video. Despite the realism or the true nature of those scenes, you're making them more interesting and educational at the same time.
For someone like me who didn't study medicine, I really love this!
I still don't understand one thing:
in my experience, the hospital never provide blankets that looked as cozy as Happy's.
Maybe because you don't have tony stark's wallet.
I'm just joking
Yay another video! I always really enjoy watching these
as a person who recently took a psych class this is such a cool video to me and i understood so much but you helped me learn more! love these videos!!
Speaking of regenerating limbs, a look at Deadpool could be fun, albeit would need a lot of clever cuts.
Most of these are so over my head, but I love them anyway haha
Keep doing the MCU videos. I love watching them!
Glad you're back doing these! Looking forward to the rest of phase 2!
I have a bad anxiety disorder and depression and these videos really help me to calm down
Please keep these coming! I've missed them!
I think in the first two movies the shrapnel was supposed to be inoperable, which is why Tony removing the shrapnel in this movie wasn't well received, because it seemed like a plothole. You kind of have to assume medicine progressed kind of a lot between films in the MCU universe.
Good timing, I just rewatched this movie the other day so it was nice and fresh going into this vid
Loved your explanation of the pain system.
Would be amazing if we could create brain scans that we could project out in the room like this :-D
This is literally what i tried to find on YT yesterday. Great timing
Outstanding breakdown and analysis, as always. Thank you, Dr. Hope!
Your show is great, I'm learning a lot. Thanks very much for carrying on. Also, I'm so glad about the consistent presence of that very fine-looking Strat in the background :)
loved the CGI impression of the surgical drape 🤓
i can agree having and anxiety disorder sucks. been living with that issue most of my life. started getting better after taking some medicine my doctor prescribed me.
One possible explanation for the lateness of the shrapnel surgery is that everything done in the cave made it riskier to remove the arc reactor unit altogether because it occupied such a large part of his chest cavity.
Then in Iron Man 3, Extremis came along and they were able to modify it to promote Tony healing from a surgery to remove the shrapnel and the arc reactor unit.
Exactly
watching your videos always makes me feel at peace. thanks for being you, Dr. Hope 😃
14:13 “Well of course I know him, he’s me”
Also I think Tony would be more comfortable with doctors if he watched this channel! Keep it up!
So many flashbacks to AP psychology. I guess I must've learned a lot since I knew a lot about the psychology and neuroscience in this movie that I forgot was there
Yes please do Saving Private Ryan as well! That would be amazing :)
(Someone else mentioned it in earlier comments too)
So the reason he didn’t get the arc reactor removed earlier was because he felt like it was his identity as Ironman. If he removed it he would be losing that part of himself.
I thought it was because the only way he could get it out was with the extremis technology
Extreme strength, like on the order of throwing someone bodily through the air, I think could be accomplished by adrenaline and a removal of the limitations on one's body (like inhibiting pain signals which limit you so you don't over strain your body). Sufficiently strong people can already toss people through the air, if they can already deal with the weight and their limiters don't prevent it.
Overheating one's body though and surviving sounds ridiculous, particularly to the point where one would super heat metal at a touch or become a fuel air bomb. I'm sure altering someone's brain so they have direct control over their body temperature could be entirely possible. We can already unconsciously do this (flushing with embarrassment, seething with rage, etc.), and with training apparently it's possible to control your bodily functions enough to lower your body temperature on demand (by maybe one or two degrees). But your body would combust before you could melt steel beams, and I don't think you could change your internal temperature fast enough to produce an explosion like in the movies.
Being a Dr Hope fan, as opossed to being an MCU fan, I'm marvelling at this collaborative exploration of the mental health gems in this film.
In the MCU, the super soldier arms race was going on since WWII, which came to light in Incredible Hulk, Iron Man 2, and the Avengers. Not to mention that Stark Industries was an arms manufacturer up to the first Iron Man film.
Nice video, as usual ! Very, interesting and clear, even if English is not my first language. Keep going :)
I laughed really hard at the sterile drape image at the end and I don't know why.
I've requested this before, but it'd be great to see your thoughts on Episode 6 of Band of Brothers, which follows a Field Medic in the middle of war. I think it'd be a really nice contrast to the regular medical shows, because we see someone having to make do with very few resources in very bad situations. You could talk about how the injuries would be dealt with today, if this person came into your hospital, and compare it to what happens in these very desperate circumstances. I think it'd be very educational and a lot of fun :)
Been watching Dr Hope’s videos for a month now, and I think accounting isn’t my field anymore.
Woah, woah, woah... has he mentioned teaching fellow before?
He has mentioned explaining things to his students in the past, yes.
I like how they are starting to show how superheroes are affected by mental health, because they honestly deal with a load of stuff that would impact their lives daily. Haven't seen Endgame yet, not the greatest fan of Stark's character but I think he's had the best development throughout the MCU series.
You mentioning about doctors giving pills and not regarding mental health and treatment. I spent a long time with my local GP who just threw pills at me because of my "depression" and sent me to a mental health team that was really incompetent. I eventually refused to take the pills because there was no sign of improvement.
After perseverance of trying to get help, though not PTSD I got a diagnosis couple of years ago (prefer not to say what) and have had more help since and lately started therapy at last. It just shows that there are doctors who still believe that pills solve a lot of problems (particularly with mental health), and my GP is one of them.
Yes, the whole "part of brain" bit came from Iron Man: Extremis, a comic by Warren Ellis that IM3 was (very loosely) based on. Other than that and healing factor, the comic book version of Extremis is very, very different as is the storyline built around it.
Adding to what you said about nerves job being to let you know something is wrong and protect the area I basically have what happens when that response goes wrong and becomes over active. I have full body chronic pain which causes hypersensitivity to touch (think like the feeling when you graze your knee as a kid but all over my body), burning sensations in my hands and feet, pain like electric shocks running through my body, along side stabbing pains and muscle and bone aches. I also have weirder neurological symptoms like I can't always tell when I'm too hot or cold, muscle spasms, suddenly collapsing like my brain has just been turned off ect. It really sucks.
Pacific Rim brain compatibility meaning the drift tech that they use in the movie right hemisphere left hemisphere of the brain
When the guy said Dendritic I immediately remembered what it was about thanks to Cells at Work
I like that he explains the whole science behind and none of us understand
