I'm surprised this isn't the case since they already train them in CPR (or at least some airlines do, a friend of mine was a flight attendant and actually had to perform CPR on passengers twice).
There is a worldwide shortage so our airline is only just getting them as we're incredibly low on the priority pile. Training isn't the problem as we get annual training and it's just added into our curriculum, we also get important updates which we have to read before we begin our duty and the epipen addition was one for us. It took 10 seconds to learn "blue to sky, orange to thigh".
@@redd1910 Yea. The flight attendant works for said airline and it's probably in their training that in such emergencies, the doctor on board has the final say on when and where to land.

It is not necessary to know what the emergency is about!!! They did not divert the flight even when somebody was having anaphylaxis in the plane. So for me, if the plane needs to land somewhere between it means that we just saved a life!!! And even having the idea that somebody thanks you not diverting the plane feels crazy and super selfish. Nobody does make those decisions lightly!

Im also allergic to treenuts and have had a few reactions when I was younger. I only really remember one where my grandma gave me some popcorn that had treenuts in the sauce thing and being on the couch with a towel feeling violently ill I had a scare when I started eating a heath bar and told my friends on vc it was crunchy. They joked about it having nuts which got me worried so I checked and yea, there were nuts. Luckily I only ate a small bit and was able to just take benadryl instead of my epipen but jesus was it scary to think “oh god im gonna have an allergic reaction”. My mom told me that i did a good job immediately coming to them about it and also apologized for not noticing before letting it stay in my halloween candy bag
As someone that suffers from shellfish allergies and carries an epi pen, I salute you Dr. Mike🫡. Anaphylaxis is the scariest feeling on earth. Bless you. 🙌🏾 🫂🫂🫂🫂🫂🫂🫂🫂🫂
Chaosmayagg I know this isn’t an “emergency” type video but all health related assistance videos on youtube shouldn’t have ads so it’s a good thing he doesn’t use them
Me: *doing nothing with my life, living in the same hoodie for a couple days* Dr.Mike: *saves someone’s life without wearing shoes in a hoodie* Inspiring
One of my brother's best friends had a medical emergency on a flight after "cold symptoms" suddenly turned much worse. Unfortunately, there was no one like Dr. Mike on board to help him and the pilots decided an emergency landing was not needed because he seemed stable enough to them. He wound up going into sepsis which could not be reversed in the hospital they finally sent him to upon finishing the flight. He lived long enough for his parents to see him, though he was not conscious, and then he died. He was in his early thirties, a beloved mathematics professor, his disabled brother's only friend, a gifted athlete, a wonderful friend, and the only one who could have given his parents grandchildren. He was one of the kindest and most brilliant people I have ever known. Friends, students and colleagues from around the world sent letters upon his death, which were compiled into a big binder and given to his parents at his funeral. He had such an incredibly bright future ahead of him. Along with him, the future he intended to give his parents of grandkids and a daughter-in-law to comfort and assist them in old age, of nephews and nieces to lift his brother's isolation, was also lost. His parents live in my neighborhood and all the places where their kids and my brother used to play, in the tree fort and basketball court they built, the sandpit with child-sized construction equipment, the garden, and so on, are all empty. The whimsical math toys he made for fun are unused. His brother doesn't come to visit anymore and his parents rarely go on the walks they used to take together every evening. The airline never gave them so much as an apology.
Aaargh! Especially as the person going to sepsis is just going to be "nice and quiet", unconscious passanger and not able to advocate for himself. I so deeply sorry for your loss! 💗

@@edew9180 the guy didn't even know he was allergic to red meat, it was a wild coincidence and series of events that led to his attack. I think it could be good to have an EpiPen on board. You can make the decision to not go to the Mexican restaurant Also, can heartburn kill you? (That's not a sracastic question I really want to know)
E Dew if necessary, I would much rather use an expired epi pen and get sick than suffocate and die. Just because you’re ignorant, doesn’t mean you should share your opinion.
@@edew9180 But as you see in this example, not everyone knows about their allergies, so of course you should have an epipen with you, if you know that you are allergic to some foods, but the planes should definitely have one in their emergency kits too.
How Delta didn't IMEDIATELY reach out to Dr. Mike and have a 'consultation' meeting with him about how to better improve their medical kits - especially regarding EpiPens - is beyond me.
Just takes one suit where they can realize the potential loss of hundreds of thousands, or millions of of dollars, to keep epipens on board. Human life isn't priceless, but its real expensive to lose without good reason. Safety isn't a product of good will, Safety is a product of human life being too expensive to be frivolous with, WAY too expensive.
I love how you're just so honest. The way you said you were panicking when other doctors just say 'stay calm' to themselves, the way you have no shame in telling us that you don't remember how to do a CRIC, the way you told us you didn't actually looked like a medical professional and just looked like a random person from Ohio XD.
I was thinking the same thing. There is no humble bragging in this story at all... just a genuine, decent human being trying to be the best person he can be. And think of the other lives he may save by calling attention to the fact that airlines don't have EpiPens in their FirstAid kits.
Other hero’s: “well I couldn’t allow myself to be nervous, I had a life to save.” Dr. Mike: “I started to panic.” “I was fumbling around.” 😭 I love Dr. Mike so much.
Underrated. This is so true normal hero’s always brag and don’t admit they were nervous, but I know very well that it takes a very brave person to admit he’s afraid 😊
Honestly if I was the patient i would feel good if he’s nervous,not cuz like he might not know what he’s doing but like cuz he cares enough to be worried so much abt it
I have a non-lethal allergy to nuts (it's generally just a really bad time, but I don't need to go to the ER or anything) and once on a trip the passenger nearby me was chomping down Snickers. It was not a fun flight but luckily it was only an hour. I can't imagine how much it must suck to have a serious allergy, especially on airplanes.
This was actually on my delta flight to Italy- Delta: (announces that there is someone with a nut allergy on board) *4 hours later* Also Delta: (hands out Toblerone with nuts in it to all the passengers)
You’re a savior Dr. Mike! As a pharmacist I’m shocked there are no EpiPens on board and hope your story creates changes. Add Narcan too for good measure. These should always be available. You’re living your purpose!
Doesn't surprise me..airlines don't want to spend $500 per plane, every year, just to stock epi pens. Their whole emergency med kit may not cost that much l.
@@JohnSoh I'm convinced they can make deals that would make it cheaper for them. Where I come from, an Epipen costs around 80 bucks and in many countries it is comparable. It is rather the exception that it costs as much as in the USA
Dr Mike: We laugh at episodes of Grey's and House we don't do that anymore. Also Dr Mike: Has to watch episodes of Grey's and House to learn how to do it.. So basically what Dr. Mike is saying is that I could have helped him.. I am not a doctor or nurse.
He is calm because he lived through it, he was panicking on the flight but despite that, he was able to trust his medical skills and make the right decisions
Doctor Mike, I don't know which airline you traveled on, but in Europe practically all airlines have epipens on board, they are located in the first aid kit, and yes, the flight attendants are trained to know how to use them. They are also trained to identify different medical conditions, such as angina, heart attack, stroke, shock, and many others, as well as treat them within what is possible. Flight attendants also learn basic life support and how to use a defibrillator. They even need to know how to deliver a baby. In a medical emergency, the first step is to ask passengers if there is a medically qualified person on board. Usually there is a doctor, nurse or paramedic among the passengers, but if this does not happen, it is the flight attendants who provide help to the person. They are also responsible for deciding whether to make an emergency landing, passing this information on to the pilots. That's how things work at every airline I've worked for to date. Happy flights! ;-)
"I'm not a hero" You are. This is the literal definition of a hero. You can still go on being the humble practitioner of medicine that you are...but you're also a hero.
Medical shows only care about ratings --- you can't get ratings about a doc giving epinephrine and then just waiting for a few hours monitoring vital signs LOL
Recently I started working as a FA. During trainig they told me different stories about medical situation. Once passanger passed away and procedures tell that plane has to land in the nearest airport. Others were fuming that they had to land...... So unacceptable
Imagine you have your pregnant wife giving birth (and you'll miss it). Maybe a relative dying. Maybe a job interview in a tight schedule. Maybe a multibillion deal with a hard to do 10 CEOs or it won't go. Maybe a political refugee in agony. ....
Helgali None of those even begin to compare to someone being in risk of losing their life on that plane. So no, you shouldn’t have to imagine those scenarios happening.
Remember when Doctor Mike watched that first episode of The Good Doctor and we all laughed when he made the throat incision? We won't be laughing anymore. 😐
i had this same allergy a few years ago. I remember that I would constantly and inexplicably get hives-usually on my head after I'd fallen asleep, waking me up in a fit of scratching. Eventually, I had a bad enough reaction (my back was pretty much a giant hive) that my parents decided to take me to an allergist. They did their bunch of tests, and that's when I discovered I had the allergy (along with a mild grass allergy). Funnily enough, I remember the exact tick that gave me the allergy: it dug its stupid little head into a not-so-pleasant location during a Boy Scout camping trip. After, like, two years I grew out of it.
Sophie I agree I have a serious nut all to all nuts but I make sure to have a EpiPen on me at all time and a lot of people don’t know that u can tell a flight attendant and they will not serve nuts and they will let u on the plane first to go and wipe down your seat in case there nut dust on nuts on it or in your seat
Prices would go up. It would be great if they charged who ever used it like triple the amount of a regular one so they dont waste money and charge us extra
Epipen's are only $123 using goodrx.com without health insurance. Not only should they carry it but that is less than one plane ticket per plane per year. Also they have to have health insurance making the price go down. Also I worked for a camp that go a discount for buying 5 a year so buying in bulk will make the price go down even farther. No excuses if they spit that cost between 50 people that would add less than $3 to each ticket for 1 flight a year. Also Epipen training could be done with CPR training in about 10 minutes and a practice Epipen is $20 .
My dad has been a general surgeon for 40+ years. I have been with him at least a dozen times in public places including planes when someone has announced over the loud speaker "Is there a doctor present?". 9 times out of 10 he'll give it a good minute to see if anyone else responds but inevitably he ends up helping. At 75 he is still practicing and we ask when he's going to retire. His answer has always been "When I can no longer help people." Keep helping people, Dr. Mike! ❤
Fabulous job, Dr. Mike! Thank you for saving this passenger's life and for breaking down the story in an entertaining and educational way! I've had to call for medical personnel on my flights, but thankfully never something this serious. I love our healthcare workers!
L Fischer My old teacher had two kids who had allergies to something (one allergic to peanuts, another allergic to strawberries) the boy's peanut allergy wasn't really bad, so the doctors didn't give him an epi pen, but apparently the girl's strawberry allergy was bad so my teacher keeps her epi pen in the closet.
when i was in school we had to buy our own epi pens and give 1 to the nurse office and to 1 gym (since im allergic to latex and basket balls and such have latex) every year. note this is when epi pens where like $900 a pop! now they are so cheap at 500........
Also epipens COST $500!!! Insurance pays for some/most of it but people who can’t afford health insurance or who have crappy coverage end up having to pay a lot and you have to replace them annually! It is not okay to call carrying an epipen personal responsibility and then make them so expensive to obtain
Doctor Mike: *doesn’t believe in medical dramas* Also doctor mike: *incredibly good looking and saves a life on an airplane while going on a business trip.
LOL trueee! I’m also shocked that he appears to remain humble even when the media is blowing up his ego and the fact that he’s known to be the “attractive doctor”
Honestly this happens pretty frequently. My mother is a doctor and she's had multiple medical emergencies that she had to treat on the plane. She just had one with Lufthansa who according to her had a small hospital on board in terms of resources. So it you're going to have a medical emergency, do it on a Lufthansa flight xD
Imagine being a flight attendent looking at Doctor Mike, who can easily be confused for a frat boy in his airplane attire, and staying ok I believe you're a doctor ! lol love this story.
Honestly tho.....everyone is mentioning that sexy and hot doctor and not just "doctor".. 😂😂😂 it must be hard to live when u are way too attractive...so much attention lol😂
Imagine you’re on a plane and you start having an allergic reaction so you ask for a doctor. Then a sleep deprived, homeless looking man comes up to you and tells you to take off your pants

I love seeing doctors who are humble enough to admit they look stuff up and educate themselves when they don't know!!! That's so freaking cool and so necessary because doctors are humans too - they can't know everything! I have two extremely rare diseases and it's been the doctors who have attitudes like Dr. Mike that have really saved my life! Way to go Dr. Mike!
Only the best doctors admit to "looking stuff up" when they don't know something --- the doctors who claim to know everything are the most dangerous and most likely to get sued
I’m a nurse but I also have panic attacks that can be crippling! When they start the main thing that happens is my throat gets very dry and tight. I remember in nursing school that I learned the mechanism of action in panic attacks is that you get a huge adrenaline surge and that you’re body goes into fight or flight mode. I feel so much better knowing how my panic attacks work and learning about them and how my body responds to them.

It takes a humble person to admit when they are at a loss or need additional advice and are a little scared. Glad it all worked out in the end, you are a good man and a great doctor! ❤

My mom told me that i did a good job immediately coming to them about it and also apologized for not noticing before letting it stay in my halloween candy bag

One of my brother's best friends had a medical emergency on a flight after "cold symptoms" suddenly turned much worse. Unfortunately, there was no one like Dr. Mike on board to help him and the pilots decided an emergency landing was not needed because he seemed stable enough to them. He wound up going into sepsis which could not be reversed in the hospital they finally sent him to upon finishing the flight. He lived long enough for his parents to see him, though he was not conscious, and then he died.
He was in his early thirties, a beloved mathematics professor, his disabled brother's only friend, a gifted athlete, a wonderful friend, and the only one who could have given his parents grandchildren. He was one of the kindest and most brilliant people I have ever known. Friends, students and colleagues from around the world sent letters upon his death, which were compiled into a big binder and given to his parents at his funeral. He had such an incredibly bright future ahead of him. Along with him, the future he intended to give his parents of grandkids and a daughter-in-law to comfort and assist them in old age, of nephews and nieces to lift his brother's isolation, was also lost.
His parents live in my neighborhood and all the places where their kids and my brother used to play, in the tree fort and basketball court they built, the sandpit with child-sized construction equipment, the garden, and so on, are all empty. The whimsical math toys he made for fun are unused. His brother doesn't come to visit anymore and his parents rarely go on the walks they used to take together every evening.
The airline never gave them so much as an apology.
Aaargh! Especially as the person going to sepsis is just going to be "nice and quiet", unconscious passanger and not able to advocate for himself.
I so deeply sorry for your loss! 💗
which airline is this?
Sue the airline.
This is so sad.

Get. An. EpiPen. On. Airplanes. As someone that relies on that to eat my meals without fear, I think it VERY necessary.
That's *nuts*
ME TOO
@@edew9180 the guy didn't even know he was allergic to red meat, it was a wild coincidence and series of events that led to his attack. I think it could be good to have an EpiPen on board. You can make the decision to not go to the Mexican restaurant
Also, can heartburn kill you? (That's not a sracastic question I really want to know)
E Dew if necessary, I would much rather use an expired epi pen and get sick than suffocate and die. Just because you’re ignorant, doesn’t mean you should share your opinion.
@@edew9180 But as you see in this example, not everyone knows about their allergies, so of course you should have an epipen with you, if you know that you are allergic to some foods, but the planes should definitely have one in their emergency kits too.
How Delta didn't IMEDIATELY reach out to Dr. Mike and have a 'consultation' meeting with him about how to better improve their medical kits - especially regarding EpiPens - is beyond me.
MERL1N_TV, they aren’t that interested in saving passengers’ lives as they are in saving money.
@@evilsharkey8954 Perhaps - but they should also be concerned with the APPEARANCE of being interested saving passenger lives.
Just takes one suit where they can realize the potential loss of hundreds of thousands, or millions of of dollars, to keep epipens on board. Human life isn't priceless, but its real expensive to lose without good reason. Safety isn't a product of good will, Safety is a product of human life being too expensive to be frivolous with, WAY too expensive.
@@evilsharkey8954 but i think an emergency landing is more expensive then those pens
Shi Wu, it is, but they’re not thinking that far ahead. The people who make such decisions aren’t known for foresight.
I love how you're just so honest. The way you said you were panicking when other doctors just say 'stay calm' to themselves, the way you have no shame in telling us that you don't remember how to do a CRIC, the way you told us you didn't actually looked like a medical professional and just looked like a random person from Ohio XD.
I was thinking the same thing. There is no humble bragging in this story at all... just a genuine, decent human being trying to be the best person he can be. And think of the other lives he may save by calling attention to the fact that airlines don't have EpiPens in their FirstAid kits.
Other hero’s: “well I couldn’t allow myself to be nervous, I had a life to save.” Dr. Mike: “I started to panic.” “I was fumbling around.” 😭 I love Dr. Mike so much.
Underrated. This is so true normal hero’s always brag and don’t admit they were nervous, but I know very well that it takes a very brave person to admit he’s afraid 😊
Honestly if I was the patient i would feel good if he’s nervous,not cuz like he might not know what he’s doing but like cuz he cares enough to be worried so much abt it
This reminds me of Game of Thrones.
Theon: Are you afraid?
Rob: Yes.
Theon: Good.
Rob: Why is that good?
Theon: It means you're not stupid!
Frrr
Absolutely! Dr Mike KNEW everything he could potentially face!
Is it just me, or is he literally teaching all of us, ever so slowly, how to be a doctor without going to medical school.

I have a non-lethal allergy to nuts (it's generally just a really bad time, but I don't need to go to the ER or anything) and once on a trip the passenger nearby me was chomping down Snickers. It was not a fun flight but luckily it was only an hour. I can't imagine how much it must suck to have a serious allergy, especially on airplanes.
This was actually on my delta flight to Italy-
Delta: (announces that there is someone with a nut allergy on board)
*4 hours later*
Also Delta: (hands out Toblerone with nuts in it to all the passengers)
You’re a savior Dr. Mike! As a pharmacist I’m shocked there are no EpiPens on board and hope your story creates changes. Add Narcan too for good measure. These should always be available. You’re living your purpose!
Doesn't surprise me..airlines don't want to spend $500 per plane, every year, just to stock epi pens. Their whole emergency med kit may not cost that much l.
@@JohnSoh I'm convinced they can make deals that would make it cheaper for them.
Where I come from, an Epipen costs around 80 bucks and in many countries it is comparable. It is rather the exception that it costs as much as in the USA

Doctor Mike, I don't know which airline you traveled on, but in Europe practically all airlines have epipens on board, they are located in the first aid kit, and yes, the flight attendants are trained to know how to use them. They are also trained to identify different medical conditions, such as angina, heart attack, stroke, shock, and many others, as well as treat them within what is possible. Flight attendants also learn basic life support and how to use a defibrillator. They even need to know how to deliver a baby. In a medical emergency, the first step is to ask passengers if there is a medically qualified person on board. Usually there is a doctor, nurse or paramedic among the passengers, but if this does not happen, it is the flight attendants who provide help to the person. They are also responsible for deciding whether to make an emergency landing, passing this information on to the pilots. That's how things work at every airline I've worked for to date. Happy flights! ;-)
Be careful... or all of us in the US are going to come live in Europe. 😁

i dont think they knew what was going on
i had this same allergy a few years ago.
I remember that I would constantly and inexplicably get hives-usually on my head after I'd fallen asleep, waking me up in a fit of scratching. Eventually, I had a bad enough reaction (my back was pretty much a giant hive) that my parents decided to take me to an allergist. They did their bunch of tests, and that's when I discovered I had the allergy (along with a mild grass allergy). Funnily enough, I remember the exact tick that gave me the allergy: it dug its stupid little head into a not-so-pleasant location during a Boy Scout camping trip.
After, like, two years I grew out of it.
Who else thinking of this as if it were a big scene in a medical drama??
Probably because it's been on HOUSE and Grey's Anatomy lol!
Royal Pains!
Rainman i was thinking of the good doctor when the kid had an allergic reaction right when Mike was explaining the situation.
I instantly imagined a shaky camera and jump cuts every few seconds.
I think of it as doctor mike descending from the heavens with his godly powers and saving lives
Doctor Mike should start a petition to have epi pens on planes! Like if you’d sign it!
Sophie I agree I have a serious nut all to all nuts but I make sure to have a EpiPen on me at all time and a lot of people don’t know that u can tell a flight attendant and they will not serve nuts and they will let u on the plane first to go and wipe down your seat in case there nut dust on nuts on it or in your seat
Prices would go up. It would be great if they charged who ever used it like triple the amount of a regular one so they dont waste money and charge us extra
Agree. But how much additional fare will the airlines charge to their passenger for epi pens? Lol
Mai Howell I don’t think the prices would go up since they already have epinephrine just in a different source
Epipen's are only $123 using goodrx.com without health insurance. Not only should they carry it but that is less than one plane ticket per plane per year. Also they have to have health insurance making the price go down. Also I worked for a camp that go a discount for buying 5 a year so buying in bulk will make the price go down even farther. No excuses if they spit that cost between 50 people that would add less than $3 to each ticket for 1 flight a year. Also Epipen training could be done with CPR training in about 10 minutes and a practice Epipen is $20 .

My dad has been a general surgeon for 40+ years. I have been with him at least a dozen times in public places including planes when someone has announced over the loud speaker "Is there a doctor present?". 9 times out of 10 he'll give it a good minute to see if anyone else responds but inevitably he ends up helping. At 75 he is still practicing and we ask when he's going to retire. His answer has always been "When I can no longer help people."
Keep helping people, Dr. Mike! ❤

Fabulous job, Dr. Mike! Thank you for saving this passenger's life and for breaking down the story in an entertaining and educational way! I've had to call for medical personnel on my flights, but thankfully never something this serious. I love our healthcare workers!
Yes. Epi pens should be all over in public areas, especially airports!! Schools, malls, etc. Epi pens save lives!!!
L Fischer definitely I believe every public place should have workers arround carrying them just in case to
Put them right next to the AED machines found every 200 feet.
L Fischer My old teacher had two kids who had allergies to something (one allergic to peanuts, another allergic to strawberries) the boy's peanut allergy wasn't really bad, so the doctors didn't give him an epi pen, but apparently the girl's strawberry allergy was bad so my teacher keeps her epi pen in the closet.
when i was in school we had to buy our own epi pens and give 1 to the nurse office and to 1 gym (since im allergic to latex and basket balls and such have latex) every year. note this is when epi pens where like $900 a pop! now they are so cheap at 500........
Also epipens COST $500!!! Insurance pays for some/most of it but people who can’t afford health insurance or who have crappy coverage end up having to pay a lot and you have to replace them annually! It is not okay to call carrying an epipen personal responsibility and then make them so expensive to obtain

I literally spit out some coffee 😂
I’m a nurse but I also have panic attacks that can be crippling! When they start the main thing that happens is my throat gets very dry and tight. I remember in nursing school that I learned the mechanism of action in panic attacks is that you get a huge adrenaline surge and that you’re body goes into fight or flight mode. I feel so much better knowing how my panic attacks work and learning about them and how my body responds to them.
I like how this was not exaggerated like most you tubers. They will be like “someone sneezed on a plane, I said bless you. I saved a life on a plane.”

EpiPens are expensive in USA. Lucky here in Germany we dont have to pay for it, if you have extrem allergies. I have always one with me... >
Not only are they expensive, but there is a nationwide shortage. :(
That must be nice. Mine was like 150 dollars... ;-;
@@lilygravley1491 Uff! Wow :C
@@pakman184 Is asking the doctor actually necessary? Can the pharmacy not substitute them?
@@lilygravley1491 yikes.. i just learned that in ireland, my country, they seem to be between €30 and €60.. that's potentially 5 for the price of one of yours.
Every plane should have their own Dr. Mike. 100% survival rates and zero plane diversions. Winning like a boss.
Bobosmodernlife tell that to 9/11 passengers
100% survival rate that patient could have died really fast.
But then the plane would run out of water cos of all the extreme thirst
Yeah but he ruined my bio inc game
if that would be the case, I would get ill everytime I was on board
As an OMS-1 with an anaphylactic allergy, I just found this video and can honestly say this is one of my worst nightmares. However, this video is tremendously inspiring and adds to my motivation to become the best physician I can be. And YES! Please help advocate for better medical supplies on board all aircrafts. Thank you for sharing.
Doctor Mike: **went to med school and saves lives**
People: “Yeah, The hot doctor”
Everyone is a doctor not everyone is a good looking one
lmfao
hagia safiyya TBH, he is tho.... But he's so intelligent and kind an that is why I know his channel sooo soo very much❤️

When he started talking about the red meat and the tick I straight up felt like someone was summarizing an episode of House
Yeah well ticks are becoming a problem all over the world.. they're even creeping into Iceland where we don't even have mosquitoes or cockroaches.
MY IPHONE TOLD ME ABOUT THIS TICK, TICKS ARE LIKE MY #1 FEAR IN LIFE. I HATEEEEEE THEM. I WAS TELLING MY SISTER AB THIS TICK, AND SHE WAS ALL LIKE "WELL NO IT WONT BE A PROBLEM, BLAH BLAH." FUCK THIS COMES ON MY RECOMMENDED. HE WAS BIT BY IT, NOW HE'S ALLERGIC TO RED MEAT. I'M GIVING UP RED MEAT NEXT WEEK AND MOVING TO A FIELD WITH NO TALL GRASS...AHHH
Lol for real?! Never thought about ticks till now... honestly if one bites me and I get allergic reaction to red meat I wouldn’t even be mad 😂
@@Pri-ze7fv Did you know their bite can carry fatal diseases?
Stalin Of Rivia yeah, that part I knew (:
greys anatomy writers: *WRITE THAT DOWN, WRITE THAT DOWN*
They already made an episode like this
Evelyn Guijarro (insert surprised Pikachu face)
They did? If they Did we need Dr. Mike to react to it
@@theotakuinthecorner9879 I thought the exact same thing when this video first went up
Good thing you can replay it
Josh OH MY GOD I'M DEADDDDDDD
This man and our world is so lucky to have you Dr.Mike, you really are the best
Can we give credit he didn’t put A SINGLE AD in the video?
I mean he is a doctor
He has no control over that --- TH-cam does
Mine had an ad at the beginning. But yes. God bless Mike for not interrupting his awesome story with more ads♥️
@@billbelzek6748 You set up your own mid-vid ads if you're monetized.
Bill Belzek His video went over 10 minutes which meant he could’ve put like 10 ads in the video
But he didn’t
Dr. Mike: Impressively remembers ridiculous amounts of information, including something about ticks and red meat.
Me: Walks into another room of the house - "Wait...why did I come in here?"
I think I've watched a video saying that it's a (something, I forgot what it's called because my memory suck) effect and happens to most people. It's when you enter a room and then you forget almost everything you wanna do.
Doorway effect or something such. Sci-show has an episode on it
So true 🤣🤣🤣
BIG PHAT MOOD
SerenityGamesToo- SAmee did that right now
Flight Attendant: is there a doctor on board?!?
Sleepy Homeless Man: *_Say no more_*
Sleepy Homeless Man: But also say more because 90% of the diagnosis comes from the history
Or someone's weird aunt: I have some stones
this ones my favorite 😂
Some anti-vaxx, flat-earther Karen: *I have some essential oils*
@@charlene... Don't forget Karen's fake vitamins she bought online she bought from a seller in Asia or Africa or even the usa claiming to be ancient cure-all recipes or those ripoff multivitamins that you don't need to over do!
Incredible story. I like how Dr. Mike willingly discused that he was nervous and didn’t exactly know how to preform certain tasks. It takes a humble person to admit when they are at a loss or need additional advice and are a little scared.
Glad it all worked out in the end, you are a good man and a great doctor! ❤
Mike: ( saves a life of a human being)
People on the plane: “thanks for not ruining our plans by diverting the plane!”
Not gonna lie I'd be mad if I was on the plane and it got diverted
I don’t think that’s what people should have been so worried about considering a man’s life was at stake😕
That would legit be me
Too many selfish assholes in the world.
@@Dongonzales123 you're a dink
I think this just reminds people that you are not just the hot doctor. You are a skilled medical professional and we all appreciate what you and others like you do.
Edit: Thank you all for the likes!
We needed this comment
I think you meant a hot skilled medical professional :P
@@i8akaratekid449 agreed
So true
Waddoyamean?
Serious lack of epi pens at schools, workplaces and shopping centres in the uk too.
I remember reading about that poor boy with the cheese allergy and the bullies at a UK school. 😭😭
Serious lack of any kind of medical assistance in UK schools, be it physical, mental or whatever. And if they kill themselves, just blame social media! Absolute shit show.
Probably because the things are hella crazy expensive.
That's why you should always have one with you or else you are basically fucked
Glad to say that from what I’ve seen, we have a full stock at my school. Sincerely hope it improves in other places.
See this is what I mean. You should be known as the best doctor in the world because you saved lives. You even save that mans life on a plane. Wow that's a sad story mike. Hope he is OK now
