      It could be that he's watching clips without context, especially considering he wasn't sure who Sheldon was, that makes sense. If he understood his "patient" he'd be advocating for treatment of hypochondria and also, likely, referral to a psychologist for other concerns as well.

      Also, if he just said "Sheldon is a hypochondriac," the video would be 30 seconds long and we'd have all moved on to something else. This way, he gets to talk about all these different things that Sheldon thinks he has and give us some education on how to not be hypochondriacs.

    Sometimes mentioning a mental health diagnosis can work against you. Several years ago, I went to ER vomiting and doubled over with stomach cramps. As soon as I mentioned depression as part of my history (because it *IS* a legitimate medical illness) they told me I was having a panic attack. Staff communicated with each other using language such as "she's a psych" and "history of behavioral issues." Fortunately, since I wasn't suicidal and hadn't said anything about that, I wasn't on a 72-hour hold. After being ignored, and ignored, and ignored some more for several hours, I finally walked out of there and went to a different ER. There I didn't mention depression, which means they focused on my physical symptoms. Within an hour I was medicated, given a prescription to fill, and sent home. Nothing "behavioral" going on. I had gastroenteritis.

    • @PerfectAlibi1
      @PerfectAlibi1 8 หลายเดือนก่อน +53

      That's a very bad first ER, just because they heard there is a history of mental illness in your family, they think you have it.
      Although, if I just have stomach cramps and throwing up, I wouldn't just go to the doctor any ways.
      Just drink plenty of fluids and ride it out for a few days. Though I do have a higher than average pain tolerance.

    • @Javielitohehe
      @Javielitohehe 8 หลายเดือนก่อน +18

      It does happen very often with some ER's, there are certain illness that can in some way or another relate to one another and it's clinic evolution, and just because it's the case for some, it's not the rule for all. Anxiety can be expressed in gastrointestinal problems such as vomiting and abdominal pain, but so does any other conditions, that's when a correct interrogatory should take place in order to see if your vomiting plus stomach cramps had to do with it (which didn't lol) or it was organic, whether you ate something and your intestines didn't digest it correctly or maybe you just felt nausea in a transitory way and it can be treated with medication and rest, no need to kept you hold unless you were tachycardic, pupils dilated, heart palpitations or severe signs of deshydratation :(

      @nydydn 3 หลายเดือนก่อน +3

      if you were shivering and had the chills that's enough to figure you were having an infection. The chills and shivering is your brain telling you that you must heat up because there's an infection somewhere that must be heat up. It's not the fever causing the shivering, but the other way around. One way of heating up is literally through repeated fast movements, aka shivering. I can't possibly know what happened to you, but I see multiple options, some more likely than others. Maybe you took the temperature exactly when you started shivering, which is the moment you start heating up, so you didn't have a fever yet. Although shivering is not the first method the body uses to heat up, so whenever there's shivering, you'd normally already have some fever with even higher fever on the way. But who knows, maybe your body is a bit different and it's bad at heating up in any other way, but through shivering. But that means you're a zebra, not a horse. Another more likely explanation may be that you were not very precise with your measurement. I don't know the accuracy of your thermometer, but the variable of interest is actually your internal temperature, which is a bit difficult to measure. Typically you'd measure an external temperature, (forehead, ear, under tongue, armpit) and then the doctor uses that to determine the internal temperature. Normally, it would use a simple formula to determine internal temperature from the external one, by knowing how the external was measured, but many factors can influence the relation. But there is one method of measuring the temperature that's always more accurate and less prone to other interactions. It's so accurate that's considered to be the same as the internal temperature. That's measuring it rectally, from your butt. But as I mentioned previously, your temperature was not as valuable information as shivering and having the chills. That's enough to know there's an infection. If the symptoms set in fast, it also means that they're fast to progress, so you must also go fast to the doctor.

Given that he is such a hypochondriac and was looking for diagnosis of a disease he didn't actually have, hence he had been pestering her during the entire episode with all of those tests, she just told Shelly what he wanted to hear and took advantage of that to have him shut up for a day.

      ​​@@BonJoviBeatlesLedZep Well it may also be because Dr. Mike is an Osteopathic Doctor, which makes very similar claims that "alternate medicine" does, and outside of the US those using "Osteopath" tend to be actually alternative medicine doctors instead of doctors.
      Of course in the US, where Dr. Mike practuces, OD and MD training is nearly completely identical, ODs are medical doctors just like MDs. But "Osteopathic Manipulative Treatment", which is what seperates the two and is still taught but not often practiced, is complete pseudoscience. People think of it as the "good" form of Chiropractics, but it's never had any scientific validity and in the medical world was scrutinized as being useless training for doctors. In fact, another point of criticism is often the lack of research and scientific inquiry in Osteopathic schools as opposed to MD schools.
      So in the end a lot of Doctors who talk about "holistic" medicine don't do much to distinguish them from alternate medicine nonsense like homeopathy, which is a failure of communication from them to normal people. And the vast majority of those who use "holistic" are talking about Osteopathy specifically, which is not scientifically supported.

    Young Sheldon touches on why he's the way he is in TBBT. A lot of it is to do with him constantly reading and his mother treating him like a baby for way too long. His best friend Lenard don't act like this and is the more practical down to earth scientist. Sheldon typically takes everything at face value and because of who he is over reacts to it vs the regular person. Also he's self absorbed. That's mostly because his mother sheltered him growing up and gave him special treatment. Anything Sheldon wanted his mother did what ever she could to get it for him. But if the other family members wanted something it was the same story of "I am sorry but we just can't afford that" It's a good show though and I enjoyed watching it.

    Missed opportunity here to discuss how Sheldon, being autistic, reacts as someone who is not a hypochondriac but someone who hyperfixates and worries over changes in sensory input because of the wiring of their brain. There's often an inability to translate (to put it in simple terms) what they're feeling physically into solutions. Because they're uniquely aware of sensory input, their symptoms will feel more acute, and the struggle to put that into words or know what to do about it can cause a lot of panic and escalation that a neurotypical person may not have.

    I had a shoulder dislocation like that from a motorcycle accident. Led to around 200 dislocations over the next 2.5 years before I was able to get surgery. Led to a Hil Sachs lesion... so while the surgery helped my shoulder still clicks

    The larynx joke might actually be one of a few smart jokes in BBT.
    She was tired of Sheldon and wanted him to stop talking. Her first thought was "Vocal chords... I only have to sound smart to fool Sheldon."
    Such it's simultaneously making fun of Sheldon-types, who project their actual expertise into areas which they are ignorant to sound smarter- and the audience who thinks they're Sheldon.

    Hi Dr. Mike! I LOVE your platform! Keep shining your light & thanks for all your videos. While I'm glad that you mentioned physical therapy for the shoulder injury, occupational therapy would have been a good consideration as well. I will continue to wait for the day when you mention us, lol. I hope one day, you do a show about other services & how we interact with doctors. Anyway, keep up the awesome work that you do!

    I always understood Vick to have two effects. One is helping to clear airways, possibly have some (very mild) antiseptic effect, and increase capillary circulation in the area it has been applied to, so it might speed up the discolouration of bruised skin. Some people swear by Tiger balm which is a very similar, Eastern remedy.

    Hey dr mike, i wanted to thank you because with your videos you made me very interested and curious about medicine, anatomy and human biology in general. Unfortunately in school i dont have the possibility to learn about any of these subjects and it's a pity because it's so interesting, useful and eye-opening. So i wanted to ask you if you had any suggestions regarding any way to study/cultivate this curiosity of mine. I'm already reading some books from my local library and watching educational videos of doctors/biologists on youtube. I also had an idea popping in my mind about you making a series where you teach us some interesting stuff in a full dedicated video. Im grateful for your explanations in every video you make applied to fun sutuations like this one, but still i think that doing some episodes like the ones about answering medical questions you used to make or even more specific ones would be quite good! Have a great day doctor and please let me know about your thoughts on this!

    I developed tinnitus after multiple ear drum ruptures as a kid. Unfortunately I was someone who never showed any signs of an ear infection until I was at the level of "screaming in pain and my ear drum is gonna rupture within the next few hours." So here I am at 32 with noticable hearing loss and ringing in my ears.
