You know what I like about the Onion? The fact that you can make it through an entire article of theirs without seeing a single grammar or spelling mistake. Seriously, I try to read the news when I can on my breaks at work and...ho man. Especially in the last two years, news articles from actual websites are all just filled with grammar and spelling mistakes.
I have not read an Onion article yet but I'm going to after reading your comment! The grammar errors in news articles are so frustrating. The mistakes are really bad too. An example of a common mistake is using the wrong they're, their or there. I found myself wondering 'where have all the editors gone,' and now I know, they all went to work at Onion!
It drives me crazy when legitimate and respectable sources have grammatical errors. If your business is publishing, have a good editor. If your job is writing, proofread your work. It's similar to commercials and ads that are so bad or annoying that I actually hate the product: If you want me to value what you're offering, convince me you know what you're doing.
I started noticing the grammatical errors in newspapers 20 or so years ago. That’s when I also took notice that “feel” was being used when a thought was being expressed. That is so prominent now and it drives me nuts.
But if they pay copyeditors to catch the spelling and grammar errors, then that means slightly less money for the shareholders 🫠 But on a more serious note, newspapers generally (at least in my country, but I assume it's a global phenomenon) have been struggling to earn enough money to stay afloat since the switch to digital and the steady decline in revenue per ad. They might legitimately have had to lay off the copyeditors to keep as many reporters on staff as possible. Which is another reason why I'm glad my country has a national broadcaster that pays journalists to report the news. I'm _very_ happy for my tax dollars to go towards paying for good, independent journalism, since there's such a struggle to stay afloat in the commercial journalism industry. Journalism _shouldn't_ be tied to a profit motive; it should be all about informing the public and shining a light on our institutions to keep them (slightly more) honest!
The fact that your name is "TheStonerKid69" makes your comment 100% more humorous than I think your intent was. Maybe not your comment, but the dichotomy. 😂 Also yes, absolutely valid comment.
Dr. Mike acknowledging that OB/GYN don't medicate enough for pap smears and other things has made my day! Doctors should also consider some kind of local anaesthetic for cervical cone biopsies. I quite literally have trauma and cry every time I have to go in just for a pap now.
Yeah, I avoided getting a pap for years because of the pain (though I also have a condition that has vestibulodynia as a fun companion). I finally got one last year though I literally had to be on laughing gas and even then it barely made it more tolerable.
@@mar-k7104 basically it can hurt so much that pain management should be routinely offered. i had to demand local anesthetic like 2-3 times before i was given it :/
@@mar-k7104 i only knew bc i read about it online and then they offered after a few failed attempts :| unfortunately you really have to advocate for yourself. i mean they're interacting with an organ for fucks sake!! and the cervix always really hurts to touch, esp if you're gonna be pushing throuhg the mucus plug. it contracts bc duh, it odenst want a foreign body inside.
The difference between a chrysalis and a cocoon is that: A chrysalis is the life stage of a butterfly when it transforms from a caterpillar to a butterfly. A cocoon is the silk casing of a moth that it spins around itself to protect its pupa stage.
They perform relatively similar purposes though, encasing and protecting the insect while it transforms into its adult stage. My way to tell them apart is that "chrysalis" sounds like "crystal", and is hard. The cocoon, being the other one, is soft and fluffy. Either way, unless you know what you're doing and you got a good reason to, don't touch either, just let them be.
@@PanthereaLeonis Forbidden Secret! Insects that undergo such metamorphic pupation hatch from eggs with _two_ embryos. One stays dormant while the larval stage gathers resources and gets juiceyplump, then it spins up the protective casing and almost fully _liquifies_ in a horrific self-digestion process kicked off by the other embryo, which becomes the adult insect. Which is to say, a caterpillar in a chrysalis is being consumed whole by its evil twin! This has been *Horrors of the Insect World* .
I love that Dr. Mike brought up how there need to be more pain relief options for gyno visits. All of it hurts (at least for me). They do give some meds sometimes if you ask beforehand, but there needs to be some way to locally numb things if possible. After I had a copper IUD put in, I thought I was ok but then I stood up. Almost passed out. Had cramps for days; bad ones. We shouldn't have to feel that much pain for relatively simple and routine things like pap smears either. I dread every appointment, but I care about my health. It shouldn't be this way.
Funny how much this varies. My Gf says hers was basically a mild pinch at worst. Had a mild stomach ache for a couple days afterwards. I wonder why it can range from "can't walk for days" to "barely felt it".
I had my very first IUD inserted about a month ago. Thankfully, my female gyno explained the whole procedure beforehand. It hurt like hell, but she was very nice, calming, and understanding, which made everything much easier.
"Oh, I know they're not all bad. Some of my best friends are humans. It's just... it's just a different culture down there. They have different attitudes toward violence. What can you do?"
Fun fact I just learned in my training about Tums. Antacids are considered a medical device in Europe and not a drug because they directly neutralize the acid without acting on the body in a pharmacological, immunological or metabolic way. I like to think they defined "drug" first and then realized they accidentally excluded antacids and some types of cough syrup.
Haha, yeah, like having honey tea for a cough is *not* "medication", because it's just covering the sore spot in a soothing sugary syrup. Mmm honey tea...
Hard relate! Only not as much with my ears but other body parts, so annoying! I’ll take my high pain tolerance and proprioception issues any day if I didn’t have to deal with itching, lol, SPD can be very frustrating like that.
“He chooses to skip the gym for the third day in a row and eat a peanut butter and jelly sandwich.” …as I’m sitting here having not been to the gym for a week and eating a peanut butter and jelly sandwich
Nah nah, the peanut butter is protein for when you go to the gym, and the jelly's got, uh, plant bits in it? Totally just prepping for tomorrow's gym session 😜
@doctormike..... Got a nair story for you. I was on the high school swim team, and for conference championships we held a "shave down party" where both the mens and womens teams did their shavedowns before the big day. Typical swimming tradition. We had a male swimmer who was Persian and was VERY furry; we even called him "The Persian Rug". Rather than shaving, he said "f*** that, I'll be right back". He leaves the house that was hosting the party, goes to CVS, and gets several bottles of Nair. He then fills a bathrub half-full of wam water, dumps the bottles of Nair into the water, closes the door, and climbs in. The scream that was emitted from the bathroom a few moments later was nothing short of horror-film material. He bursts out of the bathroom, runs naked through the living room to the patio door, flings it open and jumps into the swimming pool in the backyard. The next day, he did the shaving, but the damage was done. He had red chemical burn splotches all over his body, and looked like a nightmare so much so that the opposing swimmers were visibly disturbed by his appearance when he would take off his parka and go up on the blocks for his events. We still give him grief about it to this day, nearly 25 years later.
I'm willing to believe that removing the hair with Nair is simpler and easier than shaving, but it has to be done properly! I hope he dropped the idea though, and went over to the trimmer/razor combo that is the standard for removing long hair.
That doctor reacting to his own death had me laughing the whole time. He reminds me of those videos in which experts analyse scenes in movies and TV shows.
The reason why people don’t go to doctors is because you’ll be told you’re faking it; insulted and then get no help anyway. Not all of us are lucky enough to have Dr Mike as a doctor.
Why would guys fake erectile dysfunction? Isn't that kind of humiliating to even bring up with your doctor? Why would you do that unless absolutely necessary?
Women are more likely to be mistreated or misdiagnosed by doctors/health care workers. Also I have a good doctor now but that doesn’t mean I always did.
12:23 They’re called Earmuffs! They’re basically headphones (usually without any kind of speakers, but some newer/expensive ones do) designed to reduce as much noise as possible. They’re commonly used on construction sites as tools like Jackhammers are extremely loud. Earmuffs are also the name of soft protective headphone-like things to wear during winter to prevent frostbite.
AND those internal foam earplugs are the single use disposable tipe, reusable silicon options allow you to remove them to desinfect, they help scraping the earwax from your ears (hence the reason for the desinfection), and you don't need to twist them to insert BTW, 3M is already "onto it", since the 70's...
But the big difference is cost. So if your employer is going to provide you with equipment, you better expect it to be the cheap ass, bad for the environment, one use foam job. Bonus points if they provide one set per day, so you have to remove / store / replace them for each break. In fairness, some people have weird shaped ears, or work in hot / humid environments and earmuffs are not great for them. But I'd say 90% of use comes down to cost.
wait correct me if i’m wrong but weren’t tums made specifically to decrease heartburn?😂 (i’m not trying to be rude in anyway i know how painful and annoying heartburn can be and i just find this to be pretty ironic and a little funny)
PLEEEASE do a video about the lack of proper pain mgmt during female procedures! I just have an endometrial biopsy and they did it in the office with only nitrous oxide and i was screaming in tears.😖😭 If that was a male procedure, they would have done it with general anesthesia, no questions asked!! Seriously, though, this is a systemic problem!!!
Fun fact: a massage can actually help that deep ear itch! Specifically, massaging the jaw on the same side as the itchy ear. A tight masseter muscle often refers into the ear canal, which can manifest as pain or itching.
Mike please talk about how the newest male contraceptive was immediately approved for pain relief, but women are still told to take deep breaths and stop moving while your cervix gets pierced to shove a piece of metal in
About the chrysalis (3:00 +), when a catherpillar turns into one, it's whole body transforms into a gooey mass. Only realtively long into the metamorphosis process do all the cells re-assemble before the animal cracks the chrysalis and comes out as butterly (or moth). I really don't think that sounds particulary tempting... And yes, of course I know it's satire and I love it, but as an entom,ologist I just just can't help but think how the human in that chrysalis is going to melt like in a body horror movie.... Mostly wanted to share that insect fact.
I might be willing to turn my body into a gooey mass if it meant I could come out of the chrysalis in a few months with a body that was at the peak of fitness and 100% healthy. 😉
@@DJHolte lol, that sounds like dedication Maybe I've seen too many horror movies, but melting into a that mass seems like it could be painful. Which again, lucky for the caterpillar, althought scinetists are not 100% sure, but the seem to lack pain receptors.
Did you see the study they did that suggests the butterfly still retains memories of being a caterpillar? I don't remember the exact experiment but I know it involved conditioning, so a reward with one stimuli and pain from another. When the caterpillar became a butterfly it continued to avoid the thing that resulted in pain
@@godrickstockwell1505 wow, that's awesome. But no, I had not heard of it yet. But one thing is for sure, nature holds an endless amount of absolutely baffling and incredibly fascinating facts we haven't found out yet.
"do we need mixed berry? can it just stay normal?" by normal do you mean LIKE CHALK? no, mike, nobody wants to chew on chalk when they could be chewing on mixed berry skittles that will do the same thing.
Mike is really calling the only medicine that doesn't just not taste like poison, but actually tastes good, weird. How is flavoring weird? It's not like they made it green olive flavored or something
Please note: Mike said it looks like an IUD had a BABY with a thornbush… as a doctor, he should know that they can’t have babies if there’s an IUD involved😂
The IUD picture you are using as a thumbnail is literally making everything in my body tense as I had an awful experience with my one and had to get it taken out I am convinced it was rejecting because the pain I was going through was awful.
Unfortunately, some people do die from naturopaths. There needs to be more awareness of the actual dangers of ignoring real medical advice. Thanks for this video and this comment for helping spread that awareness. Long live science....
A naturopath has diagnosed a family member of mine with gluten sensitivity, then Hashimoto’s thyroiditis, and lately, Mast Cell Activation Syndrome. I have diagnosed this naturopath as an enabler of her orthorexia. ☹️
3:35 high blood cell count caused by smoking/high alt/steroids etc is not called polycythemia vera, instead its being called secondary polychythemia. Main polycythemia or polycythemia vera is usually treated as a blood cancer, caused by mutations in the bone marrow ( jak2), polycythemia vera is not cureable while seconadry can be cured most of the times by eliminating the cause. I feel like its a real important distinction since pv patients go through chemo alot of the time blood lettings and have other health problems including high risk to develop leukemia at more advance stages (or other mpn's)
Another important difference is secondary polycythemia doesn't have the same association with negative health outcomes. Read an interesting paper on secondary polycythemia in high altitude populations where there was NO increase in adverse cardiac events compared to the surrounding low altitude communities. Primary polycythemia changes more than just red blood cell count, it also affects the properties of the cells themselves which isn't the case for secondary polycythemia.
@@SeuOu sadly i suffer from primary pv, tried to keep my comment as short as possible as there are so many negatives in pv compared to secondary, could easily write a scroll
Thank you for noting this. I was confused by Dr Mike statement as my dog had polycythemia vera at a senior age and the vets (multiple because it was a complex diagnosis) were puzzled as they said it normally occurs in young dogs, so they spent days at the animal hospital looking for the cause until they eliminated everything and declared it primary, even if very odd. Since regular blood letting was too risky and complicated at his age, I had to give him chemo for the rest of his days until the side effects were too much for him and he went across the rainbow bridge. He was the goodest boy. This disease is awful.
8:10 I'm aware of Vasalgel, which is an injection into the vas deferens that acts as a physical barrier vasectomy rather than a snip-snip vasectomy. Part of the draw is its reversibility: a second injection of a particular solution would cause the gel to break down into a mostly-water liquid.
The funny or not funny thing is my insurance does not cover anything related to ED. Such as they will cover T level tests for other things, but if it is labeled as for ED, they will deny it. How messed up is that? Just something I learned when chatting with an agent about another issue with an EOB.
WHAT?! An insurance company denies something that every human outside of that company, and most inside that company, think is something that should obviously be covered? No way! On another note of stupidity by insurance companies: My insurance likes to prescribe before diagnosing. I had back pain. So they denied the MRI and required PT. If my pain had been a growth, torn ligament/tendon, cracked vertebra, deep tissue bruise… almost anything other than a pulled muscle, PT would have made it worse.
1:57 This reminds me of how two days ago I went with my mother to get her IUD replaced. My grandma also went. She asked my grandma if she was still bleeding (due to the implanting) and I accidentally saw the area. I was worse than her walking out. I was pale, shaky, and nauseous. 😭
3:48 This is basically an old school typewritter... I remember doing my homework essays on those things. I had to press the keys soooo hard just to type.
12:17 Industrial ear muffs definitely exist and I'm quite sure 3M makes some. They're great in some cases, but aren't as practical in situations where you need something for single or short-term use :)
I am still broken over how much 9gag has changed. It is AWFUL now and was once the best place for dark humour. The last place left for dark humour died on that day
So "ear muffs are a thing, but the plugs simply are better at their job". I have had the same experience, that ear muffs just don't work as well. Ear muffs also look really dumb on concerts, compared to the subtle ear plugs, and if you move too violently, you will shake the muffs off of your head and hit your neighbor and spill his beer. They are, on the other hand, much quicker and easier to remove and reapply, you don't risk shoving your ear wax deep into your ear canal, and you can incorporate radios for entertainment or communication into ear muffs that you can't in ear plugs.
Where do I find answers to medical questions? I can't visit my general practitioner for every question i have. the GP's i go to are generally like: "oh its nothing" to things that i feel are more of an actual concern than those questions.
3:46 I remember exactly the moment when I started mashing keys like crazy. It's when I started learning to play an acoustic piano. I only buy heavy-duty keyboards now. So yeah, that keyboard should be marketed to keyboardists instead.
"Hims" would absolutely sell as a parody product in Norway as we already have a potato chip company called "Kims". At first I totally thought that was what it was aimed at and inspired by.
At the store yesterday I saw PATRIOTIC TUMS. Colored red, white, and blue, and supposedly “berries and cream” flavor. The kicker? The display proudly read “Celebrating independence from heartburn”!
My hysterectomy hurt so much less than my cramps or ESPECIALLY that TV ultrasound, that it wasn't even close. I wish I had been able to find someone to do it before I turned 30.
Medical Memes reaction and Onion research reaction are literally the same😂. BTW, we want amazon medical products review please. It's been a very long time❤
Yeah the Hims and Hers website...i have an*rexia and being in my ED state of mind, got on there and procured meds to help supress my appetite by just not being honest on the questionnaire. It was way too easy (although i take full responsibility for what i did) to feed into the mental illness.
8:40 Mike you have no idea how waxy ears can get in the summer, like in Ukraine here we had a crazy heatwave and i like wearing earplug headphones - only q-tips can help with all that wax, no way im not digging into my ears!
In the Victorian Era, people would add boronic acid to spoiled milk to mask the taste, trying to salvage it. They weren't aware they were poisoning themselves and their children.
If it smells fine, then it is fine. Making spoiled food smell good magically makes the food fresh, and the food won't make you sick at all. I'm just joking. The real answer is to use it as decorative potpourri.
There are outer ear silicone plugs that you don't need to push into the canal. Had an ENT recommend me using those when showering/swimming after i had recurring mid ear infections and they work like a charm.
We actually have an outside earplugs. Search for silicone earplugs for swimmers. I think they are made to block water, but they work OK for noise as well.
My friend had an allergic reaction to nuts after eating SEVEN slices of French toast, which had nuts in the bread. Others are teasing him about eating too much French toast now (a year later, after he recovered from the allergic reaction).
My dad is an optometrist and this HURTS to see, and I’m currently writing this in his office and looking at 13 shelves of contacts. 4:19 (Edit: none of them have these lol)
On the topic of mixed berry tums, I personally can't stand a lot of antacid flavours and the mixed berry tums are one of the few I can actually handle, which allows me to take antacid when needed as opposed to suffering and allowing acid to eat my esophagus because I won't take a mint flavoured antacid.
They do make other kinds of earplugs. There are gel-type ones that you smoosh around the outside of your ear rather than the foam ones you shove in there.

@doctormike..... Got a nair story for you.
I was on the high school swim team, and for conference championships we held a "shave down party" where both the mens and womens teams did their shavedowns before the big day. Typical swimming tradition. We had a male swimmer who was Persian and was VERY furry; we even called him "The Persian Rug". Rather than shaving, he said "f*** that, I'll be right back". He leaves the house that was hosting the party, goes to CVS, and gets several bottles of Nair. He then fills a bathrub half-full of wam water, dumps the bottles of Nair into the water, closes the door, and climbs in.
The scream that was emitted from the bathroom a few moments later was nothing short of horror-film material. He bursts out of the bathroom, runs naked through the living room to the patio door, flings it open and jumps into the swimming pool in the backyard. The next day, he did the shaving, but the damage was done. He had red chemical burn splotches all over his body, and looked like a nightmare so much so that the opposing swimmers were visibly disturbed by his appearance when he would take off his parka and go up on the blocks for his events.
We still give him grief about it to this day, nearly 25 years later.
I love that you are still friends all these years later….and sharing the story😊
Which hurt worse: the Nair bath or the decades of burns from his friends? 😂
I'm willing to believe that removing the hair with Nair is simpler and easier than shaving, but it has to be done properly! I hope he dropped the idea though, and went over to the trimmer/razor combo that is the standard for removing long hair.

Dr Mike has clearly has never been pregnant. "Do we NEED mixed berry tums?" Yes, we absolutely do. Next question.
Berry flavor tastes better
@vanlannguyen456a man who's never been pregnant
I could've told that he has never been pregnant without watching this video.
@@Mis7erSeven OMG Look! The point! I didn't know it could go that high over someone's head...
Yea have you ever tasted the original version. CHALK 😅
That doctor reacting to his own death had me laughing the whole time. He reminds me of those videos in which experts analyse scenes in movies and TV shows.
The reason why people don’t go to doctors is because you’ll be told you’re faking it; insulted and then get no help anyway. Not all of us are lucky enough to have Dr Mike as a doctor.
Who is your freakin doctor
@@NeedTherapyUrgentlyfrrrrr
Why would guys fake erectile dysfunction? Isn't that kind of humiliating to even bring up with your doctor? Why would you do that unless absolutely necessary?
Women are more likely to be mistreated or misdiagnosed by doctors/health care workers. Also I have a good doctor now but that doesn’t mean I always did.
12:23 They’re called Earmuffs! They’re basically headphones (usually without any kind of speakers, but some newer/expensive ones do) designed to reduce as much noise as possible. They’re commonly used on construction sites as tools like Jackhammers are extremely loud. Earmuffs are also the name of soft protective headphone-like things to wear during winter to prevent frostbite.
AND those internal foam earplugs are the single use disposable tipe, reusable silicon options allow you to remove them to desinfect, they help scraping the earwax from your ears (hence the reason for the desinfection), and you don't need to twist them to insert
BTW, 3M is already "onto it", since the 70's...
I hate the in ear plugs. My inner ear gets hot, which I didn't know was possible until I experienced it.
And if you're in a really loud environment, you can wear both ear plugs and over-ear muffs!
But the big difference is cost. So if your employer is going to provide you with equipment, you better expect it to be the cheap ass, bad for the environment, one use foam job. Bonus points if they provide one set per day, so you have to remove / store / replace them for each break. In fairness, some people have weird shaped ears, or work in hot / humid environments and earmuffs are not great for them. But I'd say 90% of use comes down to cost.
I'm actually happy for the mixed berry tums as the mint flavoring they use in their normal product gives me heartburn.
wait correct me if i’m wrong but weren’t tums made specifically to decrease heartburn?😂 (i’m not trying to be rude in anyway i know how painful and annoying heartburn can be and i just find this to be pretty ironic and a little funny)
PLEEEASE do a video about the lack of proper pain mgmt during female procedures! I just have an endometrial biopsy and they did it in the office with only nitrous oxide and i was screaming in tears.😖😭 If that was a male procedure, they would have done it with general anesthesia, no questions asked!!

I’m really thankful for chili milk. My baby is 20lbs and thriving.
So this was my problem all along. I made skim milk, not chili milk 😂😂
😂
Ok, how do the beans get through there? Just curious! I'm looking right now at mine and thinking it would be kinda painful! 😅
@@kanditraxel Pureed chili would be okay, assuming you don't have a biter. Or mastitis. 😬
Except now, your baby needs the deep dish tums to deal with the chili induced heartburn.
That naturopath roast was VILE Mike.
And I love you for it.
"It's like if an IUD had a baby with a thorn". You became the very thing you chose to destroy!
Fun fact: a massage can actually help that deep ear itch! Specifically, massaging the jaw on the same side as the itchy ear. A tight masseter muscle often refers into the ear canal, which can manifest as pain or itching.
Mike please talk about how the newest male contraceptive was immediately approved for pain relief, but women are still told to take deep breaths and stop moving while your cervix gets pierced to shove a piece of metal in
I thought it was because the men had to get surgery because they cut off their ⚽'s
?
@@Nitro15there’s not a single male contraceptive surgery that cuts off the testicles
which contraceptive is it?
I don't see any relation to these two things? Like what are you even talking about?
About the chrysalis (3:00 +), when a catherpillar turns into one, it's whole body transforms into a gooey mass. Only realtively long into the metamorphosis process do all the cells re-assemble before the animal cracks the chrysalis and comes out as butterly (or moth).
I really don't think that sounds particulary tempting...
And yes, of course I know it's satire and I love it, but as an entom,ologist I just just can't help but think how the human in that chrysalis is going to melt like in a body horror movie....
Mostly wanted to share that insect fact.
I might be willing to turn my body into a gooey mass if it meant I could come out of the chrysalis in a few months with a body that was at the peak of fitness and 100% healthy. 😉
@@DJHolte lol, that sounds like dedication
Maybe I've seen too many horror movies, but melting into a that mass seems like it could be painful. Which again, lucky for the caterpillar, althought scinetists are not 100% sure, but the seem to lack pain receptors.
Did you see the study they did that suggests the butterfly still retains memories of being a caterpillar? I don't remember the exact experiment but I know it involved conditioning, so a reward with one stimuli and pain from another. When the caterpillar became a butterfly it continued to avoid the thing that resulted in pain
@@godrickstockwell1505 wow, that's awesome. But no, I had not heard of it yet. But one thing is for sure, nature holds an endless amount of absolutely baffling and incredibly fascinating facts we haven't found out yet.
"do we need mixed berry? can it just stay normal?" by normal do you mean LIKE CHALK? no, mike, nobody wants to chew on chalk when they could be chewing on mixed berry skittles that will do the same thing.
Mike is really calling the only medicine that doesn't just not taste like poison, but actually tastes good, weird.
How is flavoring weird? It's not like they made it green olive flavored or something
No, we do not want antacids to be 'normal'. I prefer the wintergreen flavour.
Please note: Mike said it looks like an IUD had a BABY with a thornbush… as a doctor, he should know that they can’t have babies if there’s an IUD involved😂

I died when I heard “naturopaths” joke 😂😂😂1:03
Yep! Came here to find the this comment. 😂😂😂
Unfortunately, some people do die from naturopaths. There needs to be more awareness of the actual dangers of ignoring real medical advice. Thanks for this video and this comment for helping spread that awareness. Long live science....
A naturopath has diagnosed a family member of mine with gluten sensitivity, then Hashimoto’s thyroiditis, and lately, Mast Cell Activation Syndrome. I have diagnosed this naturopath as an enabler of her orthorexia. ☹️
Very connected conditions though.

3:35 high blood cell count caused by smoking/high alt/steroids etc is not called polycythemia vera, instead its being called secondary polychythemia. Main polycythemia or polycythemia vera is usually treated as a blood cancer, caused by mutations in the bone marrow ( jak2), polycythemia vera is not cureable while seconadry can be cured most of the times by eliminating the cause. I feel like its a real important distinction since pv patients go through chemo alot of the time blood lettings and have other health problems including high risk to develop leukemia at more advance stages (or other mpn's)
Another important difference is secondary polycythemia doesn't have the same association with negative health outcomes. Read an interesting paper on secondary polycythemia in high altitude populations where there was NO increase in adverse cardiac events compared to the surrounding low altitude communities. Primary polycythemia changes more than just red blood cell count, it also affects the properties of the cells themselves which isn't the case for secondary polycythemia.
@@SeuOu sadly i suffer from primary pv, tried to keep my comment as short as possible as there are so many negatives in pv compared to secondary, could easily write a scroll
The only reason I know this type of Cancer, and even the secondary non cancerous type, is because it’s the type of Cancer that Boogie is faking, lol 😂
Thank you for noting this. I was confused by Dr Mike statement as my dog had polycythemia vera at a senior age and the vets (multiple because it was a complex diagnosis) were puzzled as they said it normally occurs in young dogs, so they spent days at the animal hospital looking for the cause until they eliminated everything and declared it primary, even if very odd. Since regular blood letting was too risky and complicated at his age, I had to give him chemo for the rest of his days until the side effects were too much for him and he went across the rainbow bridge. He was the goodest boy. This disease is awful.

8:10 I'm aware of Vasalgel, which is an injection into the vas deferens that acts as a physical barrier vasectomy rather than a snip-snip vasectomy. Part of the draw is its reversibility: a second injection of a particular solution would cause the gel to break down into a mostly-water liquid.

The funny or not funny thing is my insurance does not cover anything related to ED. Such as they will cover T level tests for other things, but if it is labeled as for ED, they will deny it. How messed up is that? Just something I learned when chatting with an agent about another issue with an EOB.
WHAT?! An insurance company denies something that every human outside of that company, and most inside that company, think is something that should obviously be covered? No way!
On another note of stupidity by insurance companies: My insurance likes to prescribe before diagnosing. I had back pain. So they denied the MRI and required PT. If my pain had been a growth, torn ligament/tendon, cracked vertebra, deep tissue bruise… almost anything other than a pulled muscle, PT would have made it worse.

2:50 okay doctor mike 💀💀💀
Industrial hygienist here, ear plugs have a higher Noise Reduction Rating than ear muffs that you see on ground crews at airports.
So "ear muffs are a thing, but the plugs simply are better at their job". I have had the same experience, that ear muffs just don't work as well. Ear muffs also look really dumb on concerts, compared to the subtle ear plugs, and if you move too violently, you will shake the muffs off of your head and hit your neighbor and spill his beer. They are, on the other hand, much quicker and easier to remove and reapply, you don't risk shoving your ear wax deep into your ear canal, and you can incorporate radios for entertainment or communication into ear muffs that you can't in ear plugs.
How does Dr Mike find and implement so many great video ideas?
Where do I find answers to medical questions? I can't visit my general practitioner for every question i have. the GP's i go to are generally like: "oh its nothing" to things that i feel are more of an actual concern than those questions.
Can we have an outer thing that I dont have to stick in my ear? Yes, theyre called noise-canceling headphones, Mikey. 3M makes those, too.
3:46 I remember exactly the moment when I started mashing keys like crazy. It's when I started learning to play an acoustic piano. I only buy heavy-duty keyboards now.
So yeah, that keyboard should be marketed to keyboardists instead.
you can buy soft silicone ear plugs, that just close the canal and don't go inside like foam ones

8:40 Mike you have no idea how waxy ears can get in the summer, like in Ukraine here we had a crazy heatwave and i like wearing earplug headphones - only q-tips can help with all that wax, no way im not digging into my ears!

In the Victorian Era, people would add boronic acid to spoiled milk to mask the taste, trying to salvage it. They weren't aware they were poisoning themselves and their children.

Loop earplugs are pretty decent. They’re insertable but similar to regular earbuds for listening to music and have different sizes to perfect fit.

Yes, they are very common. I even sometimes work in places that are so noisy we are required to use them AND earplugs.

On the topic of mixed berry tums, I personally can't stand a lot of antacid flavours and the mixed berry tums are one of the few I can actually handle, which allows me to take antacid when needed as opposed to suffering and allowing acid to eat my esophagus because I won't take a mint flavoured antacid.
12:54 don’t let Mike find out abt the peppermint Christmas Tums
They do make other kinds of earplugs. There are gel-type ones that you smoosh around the outside of your ear rather than the foam ones you shove in there.
