Hey! How are you? Hope you are good. I know you may never see this, but can you do an educational video on juvenile arthritis like JIA. I think that everyone should learn and be educated on this topic. Have a great day!
6:05 When giraffes are born, the mother is standing up in case she needs to run away from predators. The height of the baby giraffe’s fall (5-6 feet) snaps the umbilical cord. Giraffes are pregnant for about ~15 months so the calf is developed enough stand almost right away…there saved you a Google search

I just looked up the giraffe giving birth thing, since giraffes give birth standing up, the baby giraffe can drop 6 feet to the ground, and it’s basically like sky diving out of a plane.
@@rosynosyposy Actually, they have to be born standing up otherwise the flesh around them basically won’t allow them to breathe, so they brith by standing up so it pops
Ok per 8:15 I might be able to shed some light. My dad works in pharmaceuticals. He invented and holds the patents for transdermals such as Vivel, VivelDot, CombiPatch, and LidoCare among several others (yes bragging, I'm super proud of my papa). Vivel was named for the ingredients in it. VivelDot was named for the ingredients + Dot because it's as small as a dot, and at the time was the smallest medical patch to ever be created. CombiPatch *combines* two ingredients that had never been combined before and it makes a *patch* which was the first patch created to treat ADHD. LidoCare was named because it's Lidocaine that takes *care* of a painful area. When he's naming something it's usually a combination of what's in it + what it does, or else what's in it + something unique about it.
@@jacobdavis6201 Giraffe mothers give birth in a standing position, the babies literally DROP to the ground when born(and due the height of the giraffe's body); it's a pretty big fall.
When I was going through cancer treatments, it always bugged me when people would thank god any time something good happened, but blamed doctors any time something went wrong and not even think to thank the doctors and nurses that were actively saving my life. I made sure to always thank them when I wasn't in debilitating pain from the chemo, asleep or throwing up. Now when I go back for checkups, I always bring them a little memento to brighten their day.
It helps to be specific about what you're thanking God for. Thanking Him for having access to skilled doctors, or for being born in an age where cures and treatments exist for things that used to kill everyone, etc. And then thanking the doctors and everyone involved in helping you. One can do both, yet sadly many Christians tend to skip the humans
2:54 My old chemistry teacher used to say something along the lines of: "From the moment someone knows the risks/consequences of doing something bad/unhealthy/dangerous, it is their choice to still do that thing. The real problem is when someone doesn't know the risks/consequences and still does the thing."
I'd like to somehow fit in something about who all is affected by those consequences/risks. There's a difference between jumping off a bridge by yourself and pulling someone down with you.
I echo what CaTastrophy427 said about how it's only their choice if it only affects them, but I also wonder how that motto accounts for people who know the consequences but refuse to believe they exist anyway?
@@IceMetalPunk They know, they do it anyway. Regardless of the reason, they were informed of the risks and chose to ignore said information. That's on them. If someone is going go-karting, they are informed of the risk of crashing causing injuries before they begin. If they choose to continue and go onto the track, it doesn't matter if they decided it's a risk worth taking for the sake of fun (as most do) or if they believed it's not a real risk, either way, if they crash, that's on them... assuming the method and phrasing of that risk informance was sufficient. Saying "there's always a risk you'd crash and die you know" is greatly different to saying "X% of people who get into a go-kart end up crashing, and Y% of those end up with a broken bone or worse, with Z% being permanently injured or dead"

As someone who works in a pharmacy, I totally understand the whole "drug name" thing - our patients are often expressing their amazement that we can pronounce the unpronounceable... SPOILER: we don't truly know how to say these things either, it's usually our best guess as well! We do appreciate the efforts made by the customers, and sometimes we get amusing (and frankly adorable) versions. I mean, I'll never forget the day I had a chap ask me for "disposable aspirin" 😆
@@nytekeeper6861 the last time I had one that was hard to pronounce, I just spelled out like the first 4 letters and prayed the pharmacist would know which one it was. They did. Lol sounded flawless when they said it too!
one of the many reasons i'm having my kids take latin in high school. so much medical, pharmaceutical and chemistry terminology is based on latin. it also helps you figure out how to spell weird unphonetic words (like phonetic).
It's somewhat reassuring to hear "one of my nostrils usually doesn't work" from a doctor because one of mine is also that way. It always feels narrower than the other and I've often wondered if I have a deviated septum.
I have the same thing happen to me whenever I go to sleep, but the problem is that it always moves to whatever side I’m sleeping on. For example, it’ll often start in my right nostril, so I’ll try falling asleep on my left side. Then a few minutes later, my left nostril gets clogged/stuffy, so I go back to my right side. It’s an endless cycle until I fall asleep.
@@k1ngkaos252 we never said it wasn't normal?? We're just remarking on our experiences. Also, what you've brought up has to do with the cycle of breathing. While that may very well be true, a deviated septum is another issue entirely. A deviated septum affects the amount of air that gets through a nostril, not which nostril(s) you breathe through. For some people that means side sleeping, mouth breathing, snoring, and common stuffy noses. Not necessarily all "normal" issues in this context.
6:51 “My father will hit me- my *soviet* father will hit me- suddenly my brain started working! I don’t know why, that fear always worked.” Oh Mike, I believe that is called having trauma :’-).
Just wanted to share a story! I was babysitting two little girls who were both witches with all of the powers in the whole entire world (in the game of course). I (as their pet shape-shifting bear) died suddenly to see how they would react.

"If you look at yourself and you see that there's an improvement to be made, that's kind of healthy." This is the kind of body positivity opinion we need.

@@Elora445 As far as I'm aware, ADHD and ASD don't really have things in common, it's just that ADHD as a disorder is a _very_ common "symptom" of ASD, and is in fact the most common co-existing disorder for someone with ASD to have.
I once asked my GP how he remembered the glycolisis cycle as I was approaching a cellular biology exam, which sadly included more biochem than I was prepared for. ""Glucose goes in, pyruvate comes out, MAGIC HAPPENS in the middle". It was more than I remembered about it!
To be fair that's all a general practitioner really needs to know it's only people have extremely rare genetic conditions who have any interruption in that flow so you really just need to know what goes in and what comes out, and if you lack the output, it's that is the name of the cycle you look up to start testing.
9:05 fun fact, on long unskipable ads, you can press the little i button, report it for being repetitive and boom it’s gone. Takes about 5 secs so like it’s skipable ad. Don’t use it on short ads though or TH-cam may get suspicious.

LASIK was perhaps the best thing I ever did for myself. Amazing. I know not everyone can do it, but if possible, I can't recommend it highly enough. ~12 years on, my eyesight is getting worse (I'm also at the age where that's a thing), but it's still amazing. Did I mention that I can't recommend it highly enough? I wore glasses & contacts from 5th grade on through most of my life, so I understand all of the frustrations. Finally went through with the procedure and... AMAZING (did I say that?). Just in case: I can't recommend LASIK highly enough. If you can, try it. It will change your life (and no, I'm not getting paid for this. Just a random guy that can see without having to search for glasses on the top of his head/between mattress & headboard/set down at random location in house never-to-be-found again).
From one bespectacled person to the other: bend your nose clip better. What you want to do (with disinfected hands of course) is to bend the top of the nose clip into a round shape with your thumb before putting the mask on. When you take a fresh mask out of the pack, that part is bent in a way too sharp angle. Bend your nose clip so it looks kinda like the curve of the normal distribution before you put it on and it's going to be much better. If you don't pre-bend, the fit is never really tight because just pressing the clip to your nose doesn't work as well as actively pre bending it with your hands.
@@TheFeldhamster I normally do that. It’s the fabric ones we have that fog up my glasses. Especially the ones my mom made that don’t have a bendable nose piece.
2:15 Is actually a natural thing to happen. One of your nostrils always has a slightly worse flow than the other, and it switches sides every few hours. The reason is there are certain smell particles which need a bit longer on the receptors to be registered, and there are ones which need only whizz by, and they will create a signal instantly. If you have a very fast airflow, you are skipping the slow particles, and if you are going too slowly, you might risk suffocation, so you have both at the same time, but not always at the same place.
I find that if I sleep on my right side, my left nostril clears. If I sleep on my left side, my right nostril clears. However since I had surgery for an inverted papilloma, both nostrils are absolutely fantastic.

5:49 As a type 1 diabetic, I always like to describe it like “Yeah I have type 1 diabetes because my beefy immune system became a dipshit one day and confused my beta cells for flu bugs or something and committed genocide against them and now my pancreas is traumatized”

I think his editor does all the work, and they sit for like 45min to do the takes for the video, and that is it. So, I don't think it is that hard to keep up with youtube videos with someone editing and creating your video ideas.
@@josephdahdouh2725 but like still after working for who knows how many hours and having to then film for 1hour+ while being so energetic and he also has to approve all the videos which means looking over the video and everything so it’s still pretty hard
My suspicion is twofold: 1) Teamwork 2) There is a fairly new genetic mutation. People who carry it don't need more than 4 hours or sleep or so. That would explain a lot.
Hearing Dr. Mike mispronounce and incorrectly used words he doesn’t know just because it “sounds right” is the funniest thing ever. My husband does the same thing and I rarely correct him anymore because I know what he’s trying to say. We are all definitely fallible 😁
The rock is definitely genetically gifted, he's simoan and his entire family was jacked. If you look at pictures of his grandpa he's just as jacked as the rock was early on. However he definitely is juiced now.
Its also nice to remember that his father was also a gifted athlete. So if your father was massive and your mother's side grandfather was also massive. Good chance you have genes for being massive.
6:55 OMG! Reminds me of my Biology Exam in high school. A little context first, since I’m Danish and go to school in Denmark. 1. We call High School, Gymnasium here (we also have something called high school, but that’s different). 2. Our High School/Gymnasium is typically/standardly 3 years and after Folkschool/Grade School (aka after 0th to 9th or 10th grade) 3. Subjects or ‘classes’ (such as Biology, History, English, etc.) come in A, B, and C level, which tells how many years you have it, and at what ‘level’ (like how ‘hard’). A being all 3 years, B 2 years, and C 1 year. 4. Around 3rd G (3rd year) you have to raise a C subject to B, a B subject to A, and a new C subject to add. 5. Grades are numbers, and kinda weird. They are as followed (from lowest to highest); -3, 00, 02, 4, 7, 10, and 12. Getting 4 is like average, although 02 is the minimum passing grade, 7, and 10 are pretty/really good grades, with 12 being the best/highest. 00 is failed of course, and -3 is so bad that you can only get it by literally not showing up and not notifying of it, with very very few exceptions where you’re so bad that you might as well not have shown up (I have a story of getting that too). So, the story: I had raised Biology from C to B, and our small class (we were only like 6 I think) drew Biology as one of our exams. Now I enjoy biology, part of why I decided to raise that to B, but I did also dread one subject to get for the Exam, and since oral exams work by you drawing one of the subjects you’ve had during the year and then getting like... I think for Biology it’s like 15 or 30 minutes to prepare after you’ve drawn your topic. I went in and drew the topic I absolutely did not want, and I’d consider my worst one of the ones we’d had (it was the female menstrual cycle btw). I went into the preparation room and prepped the best I could, which was not a lot. I spent the majority of the time dreading the whole thing, hoping to get an 02, and considering it very lucky if I get a 4. Time comes for me to go in and present, I do, and I’m basically screaming internally the entire time, then comes the ‘voting’ as it’s called between my teacher and our censor (forgot to mention but a Censor is a teacher from another school there to ensure the exam is fair and the students’ teacher isn’t playing favourites). The voting takes about 5-10 minutes and I get called in. I sit, dreading getting only 02 and when my teacher then tells me I got 7, I actually asked him “Are you serious?” in disbelief, and he confirmed it. To say I was relieved and pleasantly surprised is an understatement. I expressed my joy and excitement over the grade and told them how I felt so bad about the entire thing and was sure I’d only get 02 and that I thought I’d be lucky to get a 4, and then I get the grade ABOVE that.
2:26 I have actually heard somewhere that you always have one nostril that's "fully in use" while the other is used less but which one it is switches through the day. You can probably check it by breathing onto a glas plain like a window every so often and then checking which on side the foggy area is larger...
Fun fact: the “dominant” nostril changes about every 3 to 6 hours so one is always less "activate" than the other. :) (If I remember this correctly.) Not sure what this is called, but it’s a thing. Edit: It's every 3 to 6 hours as someone pointed out, not 8 minutes as I sloppily recalled.
I have this issue from when I was a kid and I have got used to it, one of my 1 nostrils get completely blocked and one more fun fact it maybe be or maybe not work for you - when my right nostril is blocked and then if I sleep facing my left down then my right blocked nostril opens and this same thing works for the opposite side for me
I figure it's lack of sleep at the end of a long day with no days off for long streches at a time. I've been overworked pretty hard and gotten the same way until I was out of burnout.

With microphones, the proximity effect causes a bass boost the closer you are to them. Now consider your ears are really close to your mouth and larynx, but around a corner so they get the bass through you but don't get the treble as much.

4:37 i have a trick for this (it only works with masks that don’t create a seal, so no N95 masks unfortunately).

In 2017 I had really bad flu, after that my nose would not stop dripping. Doctor said that it was post nasal drip. It was still dripping two months later and I had bad headaches every morning. After several trips to my doctor I got an ENT appointment. The ENT consultant tested the drips and the next day I had to go back for a cranial MRI. The drips were ceberospinal fluid and I had a hole in the meninges at the back of my sinuses. When I had the bad flu it probably caused viral encephalitis, and the swelling of my brain broke some thin bones between the brain and sinus, tearing a hole in my meninges. Some brain tissue had been pushed out of the hole. I had to have urgent surgery, as having your brain exposed at the back of your nose is very dangerous. I had a three and a half hour operation to patch the hole with fascia taken from my left leg. I lost a bit of brain tissue in the surgery. The surgery was done with tools up my nose. That was painless when I came round, but my leg where the fascia had been taken was very painful.

It's more of a veterinarian joke, but the gynecologists will be sneering at him.
Can someone explain the meme?

@@orlock20 reminds me of Momma Doctor Jones watching the clip of this
I just looked up the giraffe giving birth thing, since giraffes give birth standing up, the baby giraffe can drop 6 feet to the ground, and it’s basically like sky diving out of a plane.

Ok per 8:15 I might be able to shed some light. My dad works in pharmaceuticals. He invented and holds the patents for transdermals such as Vivel, VivelDot, CombiPatch, and LidoCare among several others (yes bragging, I'm super proud of my papa). Vivel was named for the ingredients in it. VivelDot was named for the ingredients + Dot because it's as small as a dot, and at the time was the smallest medical patch to ever be created. CombiPatch *combines* two ingredients that had never been combined before and it makes a *patch* which was the first patch created to treat ADHD. LidoCare was named because it's Lidocaine that takes *care* of a painful area. When he's naming something it's usually a combination of what's in it + what it does, or else what's in it + something unique about it.

When I was going through cancer treatments, it always bugged me when people would thank god any time something good happened, but blamed doctors any time something went wrong and not even think to thank the doctors and nurses that were actively saving my life. I made sure to always thank them when I wasn't in debilitating pain from the chemo, asleep or throwing up. Now when I go back for checkups, I always bring them a little memento to brighten their day.
@bocoy noiu ??????
@bocoy noiu what do u mean?
It helps to be specific about what you're thanking God for. Thanking Him for having access to skilled doctors, or for being born in an age where cures and treatments exist for things that used to kill everyone, etc. And then thanking the doctors and everyone involved in helping you. One can do both, yet sadly many Christians tend to skip the humans
@@SomeTH-camTraveler it's not just Christians
That's thoughtful.
0:43 i got it immediatly i was like"i tried so hard but got so far but in the end it doesnt even matter" i knew it the second i saw it
2:54 My old chemistry teacher used to say something along the lines of:
"From the moment someone knows the risks/consequences of doing something bad/unhealthy/dangerous, it is their choice to still do that thing.
The real problem is when someone doesn't know the risks/consequences and still does the thing."
I'd like to somehow fit in something about who all is affected by those consequences/risks. There's a difference between jumping off a bridge by yourself and pulling someone down with you.
I echo what CaTastrophy427 said about how it's only their choice if it only affects them, but I also wonder how that motto accounts for people who know the consequences but refuse to believe they exist anyway?
Harm reduction is all about thorough info. We can't control people but we can make sure they have all the info to make an informed decision
@@IceMetalPunk They know, they do it anyway. Regardless of the reason, they were informed of the risks and chose to ignore said information. That's on them.
If someone is going go-karting, they are informed of the risk of crashing causing injuries before they begin. If they choose to continue and go onto the track, it doesn't matter if they decided it's a risk worth taking for the sake of fun (as most do) or if they believed it's not a real risk, either way, if they crash, that's on them... assuming the method and phrasing of that risk informance was sufficient. Saying "there's always a risk you'd crash and die you know" is greatly different to saying "X% of people who get into a go-kart end up crashing, and Y% of those end up with a broken bone or worse, with Z% being permanently injured or dead"
my channel may or may not be an example to this in some way, shape, or form.

As someone who works in a pharmacy, I totally understand the whole "drug name" thing - our patients are often expressing their amazement that we can pronounce the unpronounceable...
SPOILER: we don't truly know how to say these things either, it's usually our best guess as well! We do appreciate the efforts made by the customers, and sometimes we get amusing (and frankly adorable) versions. I mean, I'll never forget the day I had a chap ask me for "disposable aspirin" 😆
My pharmacy is amazing! When I call and ask for a refill of my Lervferbuhflrrrpttzerb, they say "Ok, refill of Levocetirizine. Got it."
@@nytekeeper6861 the last time I had one that was hard to pronounce, I just spelled out like the first 4 letters and prayed the pharmacist would know which one it was. They did. Lol sounded flawless when they said it too!

It's somewhat reassuring to hear "one of my nostrils usually doesn't work" from a doctor because one of mine is also that way. It always feels narrower than the other and I've often wondered if I have a deviated septum.
I have the same thing happen to me whenever I go to sleep, but the problem is that it always moves to whatever side I’m sleeping on. For example, it’ll often start in my right nostril, so I’ll try falling asleep on my left side. Then a few minutes later, my left nostril gets clogged/stuffy, so I go back to my right side. It’s an endless cycle until I fall asleep.
It's because it is normal. Humans only breathe out of one nostril at a time
@@k1ngkaos252 we never said it wasn't normal?? We're just remarking on our experiences. Also, what you've brought up has to do with the cycle of breathing. While that may very well be true, a deviated septum is another issue entirely. A deviated septum affects the amount of air that gets through a nostril, not which nostril(s) you breathe through. For some people that means side sleeping, mouth breathing, snoring, and common stuffy noses. Not necessarily all "normal" issues in this context.
@@MJheartly why so serious
@@k1ngkaos252 I'm calling bull. Some people breathe out of both nostrils or none at all cuz they're mouth breathers

6:51 “My father will hit me- my *soviet* father will hit me- suddenly my brain started working! I don’t know why, that fear always worked.” Oh Mike, I believe that is called having trauma :’-).

Like one of my brothers, then (diagnosed). Both disorders have so many things in common, so it's not surprising though.
That would be considered a Copying Mechanism.
@@Elora445 As far as I'm aware, ADHD and ASD don't really have things in common, it's just that ADHD as a disorder is a _very_ common "symptom" of ASD, and is in fact the most common co-existing disorder for someone with ASD to have.
I once asked my GP how he remembered the glycolisis cycle as I was approaching a cellular biology exam, which sadly included more biochem than I was prepared for. ""Glucose goes in, pyruvate comes out, MAGIC HAPPENS in the middle".
It was more than I remembered about it!
To be fair that's all a general practitioner really needs to know it's only people have extremely rare genetic conditions who have any interruption in that flow so you really just need to know what goes in and what comes out, and if you lack the output, it's that is the name of the cycle you look up to start testing.
9:05 fun fact, on long unskipable ads, you can press the little i button, report it for being repetitive and boom it’s gone. Takes about 5 secs so like it’s skipable ad. Don’t use it on short ads though or TH-cam may get suspicious.

As someone who wears glasses, the condensation one is so true. Especially waiting for the bus on cold day and I put my mask on just to keep warm.
Ugh, yes!! The worst. I get anti-fog spray from Amazon. It works wonders.
LASIK was perhaps the best thing I ever did for myself. Amazing. I know not everyone can do it, but if possible, I can't recommend it highly enough.
~12 years on, my eyesight is getting worse (I'm also at the age where that's a thing), but it's still amazing. Did I mention that I can't recommend it highly enough? I wore glasses & contacts from 5th grade on through most of my life, so I understand all of the frustrations. Finally went through with the procedure and... AMAZING (did I say that?).
Just in case: I can't recommend LASIK highly enough. If you can, try it. It will change your life (and no, I'm not getting paid for this. Just a random guy that can see without having to search for glasses on the top of his head/between mattress & headboard/set down at random location in house never-to-be-found again).
OMG, same!
From one bespectacled person to the other: bend your nose clip better.
What you want to do (with disinfected hands of course) is to bend the top of the nose clip into a round shape with your thumb before putting the mask on. When you take a fresh mask out of the pack, that part is bent in a way too sharp angle.
Bend your nose clip so it looks kinda like the curve of the normal distribution before you put it on and it's going to be much better. If you don't pre-bend, the fit is never really tight because just pressing the clip to your nose doesn't work as well as actively pre bending it with your hands.
@@TheFeldhamster I normally do that. It’s the fabric ones we have that fog up my glasses. Especially the ones my mom made that don’t have a bendable nose piece.
2:15 Is actually a natural thing to happen. One of your nostrils always has a slightly worse flow than the other, and it switches sides every few hours. The reason is there are certain smell particles which need a bit longer on the receptors to be registered, and there are ones which need only whizz by, and they will create a signal instantly. If you have a very fast airflow, you are skipping the slow particles, and if you are going too slowly, you might risk suffocation, so you have both at the same time, but not always at the same place.
I find that if I sleep on my right side, my left nostril clears. If I sleep on my left side, my right nostril clears. However since I had surgery for an inverted papilloma, both nostrils are absolutely fantastic.
@@HighHolyOne That used to be me when I ran the air or the heat. Now I just run a fan or an electric blanket, & never had the problem since.

I used to think because of Med School that doctors were all highly intelligent. Thank you Mike for shining light on this for me.

The rock is definitely genetically gifted, he's simoan and his entire family was jacked. If you look at pictures of his grandpa he's just as jacked as the rock was early on. However he definitely is juiced now.
Exactly, when you see him as a teen he was already massive
His clones.
Samoan* but yes people from that part of the world are blessed muscles and/or height. Every person I’ve met who is from Tonga has been at least 6”
Its also nice to remember that his father was also a gifted athlete. So if your father was massive and your mother's side grandfather was also massive. Good chance you have genes for being massive.
There's a photo of the rock in the 6th grade and he looked like an undercover 30 year old detective.

I relate to that meme about working 12-13 hour overnight shifts. I’m a corrections officer and I work 12 hours overnight shifts. The struggle is REAL
6:55 OMG! Reminds me of my Biology Exam in high school.
A little context first, since I’m Danish and go to school in Denmark.
1. We call High School, Gymnasium here (we also have something called high school, but that’s different).
2. Our High School/Gymnasium is typically/standardly 3 years and after Folkschool/Grade School (aka after 0th to 9th or 10th grade)
3. Subjects or ‘classes’ (such as Biology, History, English, etc.) come in A, B, and C level, which tells how many years you have it, and at what ‘level’ (like how ‘hard’). A being all 3 years, B 2 years, and C 1 year.
4. Around 3rd G (3rd year) you have to raise a C subject to B, a B subject to A, and a new C subject to add.
5. Grades are numbers, and kinda weird. They are as followed (from lowest to highest); -3, 00, 02, 4, 7, 10, and 12. Getting 4 is like average, although 02 is the minimum passing grade, 7, and 10 are pretty/really good grades, with 12 being the best/highest. 00 is failed of course, and -3 is so bad that you can only get it by literally not showing up and not notifying of it, with very very few exceptions where you’re so bad that you might as well not have shown up (I have a story of getting that too).
So, the story:
I had raised Biology from C to B, and our small class (we were only like 6 I think) drew Biology as one of our exams. Now I enjoy biology, part of why I decided to raise that to B, but I did also dread one subject to get for the Exam, and since oral exams work by you drawing one of the subjects you’ve had during the year and then getting like... I think for Biology it’s like 15 or 30 minutes to prepare after you’ve drawn your topic.
I went in and drew the topic I absolutely did not want, and I’d consider my worst one of the ones we’d had (it was the female menstrual cycle btw). I went into the preparation room and prepped the best I could, which was not a lot. I spent the majority of the time dreading the whole thing, hoping to get an 02, and considering it very lucky if I get a 4.
Time comes for me to go in and present, I do, and I’m basically screaming internally the entire time, then comes the ‘voting’ as it’s called between my teacher and our censor (forgot to mention but a Censor is a teacher from another school there to ensure the exam is fair and the students’ teacher isn’t playing favourites).
The voting takes about 5-10 minutes and I get called in. I sit, dreading getting only 02 and when my teacher then tells me I got 7, I actually asked him “Are you serious?” in disbelief, and he confirmed it. To say I was relieved and pleasantly surprised is an understatement. I expressed my joy and excitement over the grade and told them how I felt so bad about the entire thing and was sure I’d only get 02 and that I thought I’d be lucky to get a 4, and then I get the grade ABOVE that.

~8:26 Bear looked mildly offended when you said he smelled gross.
You figuring out the IT meme literally made my day 😂😂
2:26 I have actually heard somewhere that you always have one nostril that's "fully in use" while the other is used less but which one it is switches through the day.
You can probably check it by breathing onto a glas plain like a window every so often and then checking which on side the foggy area is larger...
I love the moments where Mike is trying to puzzle out what a meme says and the camera dude is super entertained
Same lol
Fun fact: the “dominant” nostril changes about every 3 to 6 hours so one is always less "activate" than the other. :) (If I remember this correctly.) Not sure what this is called, but it’s a thing.
Edit: It's every 3 to 6 hours as someone pointed out, not 8 minutes as I sloppily recalled.
Now I keep paying attention to this and I think I just forgot how to breathe!
It changes every three to six hours. Not every eight minutes.
Saw this on QI a number of years ago. Pretty funny seeing the panelists sitting there with a napkin stuffed up one nostril.
I have this issue from when I was a kid and I have got used to it, one of my 1 nostrils get completely blocked and one more fun fact it maybe be or maybe not work for you - when my right nostril is blocked and then if I sleep facing my left down then my right blocked nostril opens and this same thing works for the opposite side for me
@@jaypagare both of my nostrils get blocked and then I can't breathe but that happens like once or twice a year and I have gotten used to it.

Aw...dr Mike being a bit sick and hence groggy and having EVEN MORE jokes flying over his head is just TOO CUTE 😅🥰
I loved the glove snapping back at the e dude’s face. Instant Karma!

The reason 3 years of highschool Spanish disappeared like vapor but a few months learning Norwegian with Duolingo and I'm already partially fluent. Lol, interest plays a BIG part in education.
I realized the bit about drug names a few years ago, and now whenever I play a fantasy game I always use them as my character's names. Because they always fit perfectly and it's a lot easier than trying to come up with one.
“Cocaine! Use the line attack with your sword!” “Will do marijuana!”
Oh, you’re talking about medicine..
lol I love this! "Check out the great mage Aspirin" 😂😂
I actually learned about dysdiachokinesia (dis-DIE-uh-koh-kin-EE-see-uh) in my previous class in OTA school. Dysdiachokinesia is when you have trouble performing alternating motions in rapid succession, like going from elbow flexion to elbow extension. I’m pretty sure it’s a symptom of certain musculoskeletal disorders, but I don’t remember which disorders.
2:21 SOOOOO RELATEALE!
My ADHD, pun loving, fast running brain screams every time our dear Doctor Mike cannot connect the dots with the jokes (or takes longer to get them) but at the same time huge cheers for genuinely trying. Also tunel fish-ion was BRILLIANT. Made me happily cackle :D
my non native english speaking brain does the same.
Tunnel Fishion. Well done Mike. I'm glad Sam approved too. Some of these are really funny
Thanks
Aussie pharmacist here! It would be so amazing to see you have a clinical pharmacist on your channel, we are so under represented and our importance has been so underestimated for the longest time.
8:02 reminded me of an antibiotic i had to use once. Trimethoprim + SULFAMETHOXAZOLE
In 2017 I had really bad flu, after that my nose would not stop dripping. Doctor said that it was post nasal drip. It was still dripping two months later and I had bad headaches every morning. After several trips to my doctor I got an ENT appointment.
The ENT consultant tested the drips and the next day I had to go back for a cranial MRI.
The drips were ceberospinal fluid and I had a hole in the meninges at the back of my sinuses.
When I had the bad flu it probably caused viral encephalitis, and the swelling of my brain broke some thin bones between the brain and sinus, tearing a hole in my meninges. Some brain tissue had been pushed out of the hole. I had to have urgent surgery, as having your brain exposed at the back of your nose is very dangerous.
I had a three and a half hour operation to patch the hole with fascia taken from my left leg.
I lost a bit of brain tissue in the surgery. The surgery was done with tools up my nose. That was painless when I came round, but my leg where the fascia had been taken was very painful.
Wow! Hope you heal well, good luck.
Ain’t that just the way 🤔 - some other dumb thing hurts worse than the thing fixed, like getting a wicked raw throat from the intubation tube, but your stitches don’t even hurt that bad.
@@margauxjones1485 Thanks, I still get twinges from my left leg, I needed to use a walking stick for a couple of years after the surgery.
I found out recently that such repair to the meninges used to be done using meninges harvested from a cadaver, this was stopped because of the potential risk of prion disease.
@@SheWhoWalksSilently age, 5, hit chin on bricks whilst falling, got stitches, worst pain in my life I felt
So you literally blew your brains out when you blew your nose.
Hahaha the paleness comment is spot on. One of our patients saw me walking down the hall (under fluorescent lighting, no less), and he asked my coworker if something g was wrong with me because I was so pale. Nope, just four years of night shift.
6:11 imagine a little 1.80 m giraffe falling from 5.2 m height. The little giraffe must be your height or more, Dr Mike😐
The sky diving birth help the baby giraffe to start breathing, and just because the calf is huge, nature is crazy
Edit: the fall also severs the umbilical cord and if the mother gives birth sitting down, it could damage the calf's neck
Not in the medical profession but I've been working overnight security for 5-6 years now, I make paper look tan and frequently yell at the sun for hurting my eyes
Dr Mike describing base jumping as “ jumping off of a cliff in a squirrel suit“ literally made me spit my tea. 😂that is gold!
4:35 Ugh, that happened to me all the time during the pandemic!
7:58 My dad aced biochemistry, he was so good at it that he taught a lot of his colleagues!
wow, thats amazing!
You seem like such a kind person. That’s what I enjoy the most. Even your criticism is gentle. And these days who couldn’t use some kindness?! Keep up the good work. I work in healthcare (Canada - Genetics) so I appreciate your humour.
YES MORE MEDICAL MEMES IVE BEEN WAITING FOR THIS
5:19 had me crying😂
6:40: Watch me whip, watch me neigh-neigh.
SAM, DAN, WHOEVER EDITS THESE VIDEOS, I LOVED IT ON THIS ONE. You guys deserve more credit. Always love hearing the background laughs!
at 9:29 when he shows the rock this is what is what pops up in my brain: IT'S ABOUT DRIVE IT'S ABOUT POWER WE STAY HUNGRY WE DEVOUR PUT IN THE WORK PUT IN THE HOURS AND TAKE WHAT'S OURS!
