When bear was squeaking his toy at the start of the vid my dog was looking around like “where’s my squeaking toy”. Poor Charlie didn’t get a squeaky toy because it’s 2am here hahaha
That was clearly a house turned into an office. Very common for dentists to do that and some doctors in smaller towns where there isn’t medical office space but the houses are available
Breast cancer awareness month is very important to me, my mother didn’t have breast cancer. My father had breast cancer, so men if you’re in the shower and you feel something unusual go to a doctor and go get it checked. It’s one of the turning points from my childhood that helped push me through my schooling on the road to medicine
@@notsuperhumain I used to schedule mammograms so I have a very basic level of understanding. But more symptoms alongside lumps are breast pain, nipple discharge and an inverted nipple. I never heard about the lump moving thing though so idk about that 🤷♀️
My father also had breast cancer. More people need to be aware that it can happen to men too. When I spoke to a pink ribbon person they didn't even know men could get breast cancer.
@@GaarasGirlTamara i did they told me they were just Lobes They told me since i don't have a history nor hormonal imbalance and considering my age that it was way too early for further tests. They showed me the correct way and told me as long as they are not stiff or hurt i m ok. But i got concerned once this brave person mentionned it ♡
My mom used to work at that hospital, and seeing the inside of it brings back fond memories of spending time with her and her friends who worked there. Those friends who took care of her when she had a brain tumor, and helped her, my brothers and I pre and post surgery. I appreciate everything that healthcare workers do, they definitely don't get enough recognition for all that they do.
I'm working as a registered nurse in a covid-19 ward in Helsinki, Finland. The maximum patient capacity of our ward at the moment is 12, we're four nurses in a morning shift, 4 nurses in an evening shift and 3 nurses in a night shift. It's super interesting to see how the US system works. Keep up the great work, Doctor Mike!
It's funny, but it reminds me of my doctor's clinic, except this is obviously a former house converted to a clinic. 4 or 5 doctors, 2-3 in reception, several nurses, phlebotomist, same size waiting room, same procedures (but my doc's only in a few days/week atm, two days televisits)
As a student Engineer currently finishing his masters, it makes me proud to know my future profession played a small part in helping the heroes on the front line.
@@1234demilovatofan hey! Biomechanical engineer here, I’ve worked very closely with a lot of biomedical engineers and even have similar job responsibilities. Healthcare has a lot (a lot lot) of very expensive and very complicated equipment that require large teams of people to operate. As a biomech I live more on the usage side of this equipment, force plates, ekg, muscle electrodes, etc. Biomedical techs, medical techs, hospital techs (many names similar jobs) will maintain all this equipment. Biomedical engineers do a large part of the designing. I know they work closely with surgeons for surgical tech also, but I don’t know that side as well. Iin my field I have at least one biomed on hand at all times and I’m constantly providing feedback on improvements I’d like to see in future design iterations. Since I work with great engineers, they always work to make sure our equipment is the best it can be for our patients to give them the best life possible. Hope this helps!
"I'd never change my career for anything else" When you know a person is not just in it for the paycheck and they want to do their job to make others lives better is the most admirable thing in the world. Keep doing what you do Dr. Mike. Appreciation for you and all the healthcare workers right now.
I mean there's nothing wrong with being in there for the paycheck. Sometimes some people don't get to choose what they do for a living and hating your job is completely fine.
@@Sky-ui5cd Sure if you're just supporting yourself or your family. But being a doctor, you have a responsibility for the well-being of many other people, and being unhappy with your job translates to lower-quality care for them. You really shouldn't be a doctor for the money, as there are WAY easier career options for doing that.
You can't be that naive and/or in love with him. He gets a HUGE paycheck, so it's very easy to say that. He's a TH-cam "star" who is more in love with himself than you'll ever be, so let's be real.
I really appreciate that doctor Mike takes us to the hospital and shows us how a day in his life looks like. And I love how he interacts with the nurses. We need more ppl like him. Thanks.
KAKAKAKAKAKAK this is wonderful! PRANK! It is terrible! I looked in the mirror and saw something UNPRETTY: my face. KAKAKAKAKAKA! But I am happy agayn because I have TWO HOT GIRLFRIENDS and I use them to get views on my videos! KAKAKAKAK!!! Good day, dear uscji
There’s just something special about you man. We need more doctors out there like you. You can literally see the passion in your eyes that you have for medicine. You can tell that you really meant what you said when you say you wouldn’t trade your career for anything!
Doctor Mike is like every wattpad male protagonist. He's smart, intelligent, kind and caring, attractive etc etc etc. Basically this guy's just perfect!!!
It does seem very nice! It must make patients feel better because they are in a more homey space rather than a cold blocky hospital! Psychologically that has to do something for patients and doctors probably too!
I also have Ehlers Danlos Syndrome and actually have a whole TH-cam channel dedicated to educating about it and supporting people!!! It’s so cool to hear you mention it
tbh youre videos on dealing with chronic pain and having limitations in life have been so comforting. ive never met someone around my age have pain and dislocations and POTS too. I'm 18 btw
I wish I had a doctor like Doctor Mike. Almost every doctor I've been to is incredibly dismissive, doesn't care about my medical history, and seems generally uninterested in actually helping me. It's gotten to the point where I have a general mistrust of doctors and it feels like it's pointless to even go see one when something's wrong.
I love Dr. Mike so much. He has truly inspired me to work harder and be more disciplined. Now I'm a first-year medical student and documenting my journey. Your feedback will be greatly appreciated on my first Vlog. th-cam.com/video/qkZp3rytPMY/w-d-xo.html
It took a very long time for my EDS to be diagnosed, even with a couple of years of telling my doctors I thought I might have it. I did a lot of research but my docs were always thinking horses instead of zebras, which is fine until all the horses are gone! It's so wonderful to see a doctor considering other possibilities and thinking outside the box a bit. So pleased for your patient.
Yes! I'm a zebra too and it's such a roller coaster. I'm always grateful when I run into a doc that actually takes the time to learn about it and recognize it for what it is.
I was 43! every dr made me feel like I was crazy or making this up. Now I can finally get the actual care i need and not be on a ton of meds I don’t actually need.
The best thing has been for my teenage kids to be diagnosed early. This gives them so much time to take care of themselves and do physical therapy to make sure they don’t wear their bodies down.
i want to cry...i see so many people, everyone is giving so much effort. i really want to go around the hospital with snacks and drinks to give to people to keep them motivated. i want it to be real.
We’ve been doing that in Ireland for years , and have them on trains by every seat ... just assumed it was for ppl to charge their phones or get some work done if they’re stuck at the hospital for any length of time
How to know Dr Mike is great: he diagnosed EDS as a possibility It took me over 7 years to get diagnosed, even had to find out about it by own research and had to move countries to be taken seriously.
@@Lillith. It shouldn't be, you are very correct. Well, first I moved from rural Germany to Munich, which has the only EDS specialist in the country, to get diagnosed, but even with a diagnosis doctors didn't take me seriously. Now I live in the Netherlands and I am getting amazing care, even though I have had no income for two years, because the Netherlands and Germany are fighting about who has to pay my disability pension. I am not saying that doctors in Germany are bad. Living in Germany with a rare progressive multiple field disease is not possible. I know quite a few other EDS patients (we are a small community, you talk to each other) and I am not the only one with these problems - and not only in Germany.
@@dinazwitscher9872 I never really understood what happened. I actually went to therapy (in the Netherlands 🤣), because - among a ton of other things, chronic illness isn't easy - I felt it was my fault. But after discussing it with my therapists and a couple of my doctors, my conclusion is that there was a huge disconnect between them and me. They had a bit too much arrogance and thought I was a bit of a hypochondriac, when in all fairness I am just really interested in medicine and have been reading a lot of medical literature, which is how I found out about EDS as well. This is also why I am as engaged as my body lets me in disabled rights, patient autonomy and working together of patient and doctor. My current GP is amazing!! She knows that when I think xyz is happening that I know my body very well and we discuss together how to proceed. I have medical PTSD and a ton of weird EDS (and comorbiditiy) things, so she would never decide over my head. We put together my entire team of doctors this way. One doctor was an absolute idiot and when I reported him to his hospital, they asked me what I think would be an appropriate action. In Germany I reported a doctor, because he left me alone with an anaphylactic shock and I suffered a cardiac arrest and nothing ever happened.
As an Engineer I was very happy to see our small contribution to fighting the pandemic. We were trying our best to help everyone start working from home. Make it as easy as possible to transition and not loose their jobs or have technology anxiety especially older people. Thank you for doing everything for us Doctors and Nurses. ❤
Thank you for talking about Ehlers-Danlos Syndrome I have to bring info every time I go to the doctors because no one knows what it is and it took 9 years for a diagnosis. Thank you so much!
I feel you! When I got diagnosed with EDS I got told to research as much as possible bc I was going to be responsible to educate the doctors who don’t know about it. Considering I was 14 at the time it was pretty ridiculous that I was being relied on rather than the fully trained medical professionals, but that’s the life of a 🦓. It’s honestly so nice hearing a doctor remember what he was taught and actually thinking about it. So happy for his patient, especially considering EDS normally takes 5-10 years to be diagnosed!
Same! It's frustrating when we have to be more educated about our condition than our doctors so we can explain to them what's wrong with us 😉 Just getting to a diagnosis is physically, emotionally, and financially draining. I wish you many extra spoons, fellow zebra 🥄🥄🥄🦓
@@katie6731 I thank you for the spoons, they are always needed especially at this time of year. I wish you extra spoons too. It’s always so ridiculously shocking when you don’t actually have to explain EDS to doctors, even at supposed specialist clinics! A fair few doctors seem to think that it doesn’t exist and it’s either mental problems or faking/inducing illness. It’s so stupid 🙈 Thankfully I’m in the UK so most of my appointments are covered by the NHS, but to get my initial diagnosis I had to go to private clinics which was sure as hell not cheap, plus all the travel to various hospitals. My mum has EDS too, but had only been diagnosed with “double jointedness” before I was diagnosed, she was in her 40’s at that point and her joints had gotten so bad she had severe osteoarthritis by the age of 19. It’s so very frustrating that the delay in diagnosis and then any treatment can lead to life long complications. And then even after you’ve got the diagnosis you’re never safe from medical gaslighting which is unbelievably ridiculous.
@@ThatFangirlZebra This time of year is definitely rough on my body too. I live in the Southern California desert, and the temperature fluctuations just knock me out. Tomorrow is supposed to be 23C warmer than tonight. I envy you your medical system, even though it's not always perfect for people like us. Unfortunately, there probably isn't an ideal setup for those of us who have such rare diseases, especially because it seems like all of the EDS patients I've talked with have other illnesses as well. It can be hard to figure out which disease is doing what. Now that you have a diagnosis, can the NHS take care of you, or do you still have to go to private doctors? I had one doctor tell me to smile more. Three others told me to get pregnant. Most of them blamed my symptoms on one of my other diseases or depression (which I absolutely have, it's just not the cause of my joints going haywire). I appreciated the ones who just flat-out told me that they didn't know what was wrong with me. Medical gaslighting is awful, insidious, and incredibly destructive. It's hard to fight the disbelief and keep trying doctor after doctor for years. I don't think most people understand why I was so relieved to finally have a diagnosis that made sense. It's not a diagnosis anyone really wants, but I was starting to doubt my own experience of my body, and hearing that there was something real there was a vindication of everything I'd been living with. I don't generally wish illness on anyone, but I sometimes wanted the doctors to be able to feel what it's like to live in my body for a day.
@@katie6731 I felt the exact same, I started to think my mind was making up symptoms, especially when a few members of my family started doubting if I was actually ill. Even now if I start to hear anything to do with the phrase psychosomatic I get very defensive, even though I know that mental health can have a knock on effect on physical health, but it’s a subconscious reaction now. Most of the time I can see doctors on the NHS, but sometimes the waiting list for appointments can be years long so if you need to be seen more urgently it tends to be better to pay for it. I’m very grateful for the NHS, with the amount of specialists for different symptoms I see (Gastroenterology, Urology, Cardiology,Orthopaedic, Rheumatology and a few others) I would be absolutely bankrupt by now, purely for the cost of one specialty. Oh bless you, I couldn’t deal with that type of weather! My joints are absolutely awful in the cold but other symptoms are a hell of a lot worse in the heat. I can deal with my joints most of the time, but heat comes with a lot more serious symptoms. The temperatures in the UK this summer we’re pretty awful, but it didn’t come anywhere close to the temperatures in the US so I really feel for you!
I am 15 and have hyper mobile EDS, and I have went to 4 doctors who didn’t know what was wrong. I finally got my diagnosis, and I am happy to hear you know what it is!
@@Ender-fr3ql They normally spell it out. And I can't STAND when folks call it "ED" spelled out. I'm like, "Um, no, that would be erectile dysfunction..." Edit for typo.
I'm so thankful that you mentioned EDS. I was diagnosed 11 years ago, when very few providers knew about it and I had to travel 500 miles to a geneticist who specialises in connective tissue disorders to get a diagnosis. Just a heads up, there are a few common comorbidities that occur with EDS, such as dysautonomia (like POTS, or postural orthostatic tachycardia syndrome), and mast cell activation syndrome. Any patient that you're evaluating for EDS should also be evaluated for dysautonomia and MCAS. Also, October is also dysautonomia awareness month along with breast cancer awareness month.
As someone who got hypermobility syndrome passed down from a diagnosed mom, I am thinking of getting tested for EDS as I have the same proplem with bruising and cuts (they take a long time to heal so its very annoying) plus other stuff. For the hypermobility syndrome you thecnically can diagnose yourself without a doctore by using the point list (you need to have atleast 9 points) but I don't recommend it. We know I have it from me hitting 8-9 ponits and knowing my mom has it we are sure I have it. And yes, it can be really fucking painfull. Have had to limp at school because of not being able to do my usual thing to the joint to get rid of the pain. Not fun.
Then those doctors are idiots. Nurses are the backbone and heart of the medical profession. They treat, care for, and see patients for a lot longer than doctors. In a hospital environment a doctor will see you about 5 minutes a couple times a day (maybe) but nurses are in and out all day.
WOW you really surprised me when you spoke about EDS 😳. My daughter has Ehlers Danlos Syndrome accompanied with several other conditions like POTS/Dysautonomia and severe idiopathic Gastroparesis but it took so many years of suffering before a doctor heard us. I had to do a lot of research before one doctor listened and did the genetic testing. Wow I’m glad we get to have a doctor like you and yes my daughter always has bruises, I haven’t gotten tested but I too have always lived with bruises without any cause. Love your channel!
@@grover722 Oh wow, totally feel you. So suffering and you’re running from one doctor to another. Many saying to my husband and I that my little girl may have better luck with a psychiatrist. Right??? It’s so sad when you or your child are perfectly fine going to school, in sports, in her case waiting to be called for a professional dancing job when she would turn 17 which she had worked so hard for. In our case working all your life and all of a sudden something changes your life in a blink of an eye. My daughter was 7 when she started having small minor symptoms like acid reflux. At 11 she was in excruciating abdominal pain and puking for hours non stop even when being on an empty stomach...would pass out while going from one classroom to another. Kind of like you she gets fevers or start freezing because her internal thermostat doesn’t function like a normal person would. Sensitivity with clothes. So many weird things that I had never heard of. Like who makes up something like this??? Her autonomic system was completely out of wack. They would admit her through out the years for weeks in children’s hospitals and all we would get is that she had slow digestion, that all her test seemed normal. That she should try more fiber 🤷🏻♀️ What? The girl lost so much weight and they wanted to do a peg feeding tube with no diagnosis given to us but these ...Constipation, gerd, IBS. I have IBS and constipation but I’m not dying in pain, she had no sleep screaming and crying or passing out, could not swallow anything 🤦🏻♀️. I can function, she couldn’t. Meanwhile they couldn’t give me an answer for her heart rate going from 40bpm to 180bpm while laying in a hospital bed. Then new things started happening like long seizures. Now she is 21 with a mind of a teen because she wasn’t able to have a social life and was always in hospitals. Her friends disappeared. We had doctors that treated us horribly and some nurses as well. Her mental health started changing drastically from being an extremely sweet girl to being angry and defensive because doctors would ask her questions sarcastically. I’m so glad that some of the younger doctors that we are getting are open minded and are having more exposure to these rare conditions, autoimmune disorders or diseases. I pray that you get comfort and a great doctor that will bring healing to you. I wish no one I mean no one this kind of suffering. We need quicker answers so that we can get the correct treatments. My heart goes out to you and all with rare conditions. Hugs. 🙏🏼🤗 We need more Dr. Mikes lol.
@@normaortega4654 Her cardiologist asked specifically for the geneticist to check for EDS testing. Right now they know of I believe 13 different types. hEDS being the most common which they refer to it as hypermobile Ehlers Danlos Syndrome. A connective tissue disorder that effect every organ in your body because it’s what hold us together. Like the glue of our entire body. It’s very difficult to get tested for any genetic conditions where we live. We live in Florida and we do not have many geneticist here that test adults. They mainly deal with pregnant women and infants. That is the biggest issue we ran into once the cardiologist agreed that her condition had all the symptoms of these rare conditions.
I love how you still inform people on how you deal with certain situations while keeping patient confidentiality, gives a personal touch to your videos
In the ER the other day I had a nurse that was really not thinking I had it. Interrogated me about who diagnosed me and what kind of doctor I had. Thankfully it being a geneticist and me having a known mutation I tend to make those people stop. The difference in the way she treated me before and after was striking
yes!! so many doctors are so used to their day to day and don’t realize there’s times when they need to think out of the box/refresh things they’ve forgotten about! i’m still trying to get diagnosed after 4 years of chronic pain :/
Agreed! Honestly the amount of times I’ve heard accusations of psychosomatic conditions or munchausens is ridiculous! Even after diagnosis the gaslighting is stupidly common. (Fellow EDS and associated conditions Zebra here)
I have been to a lot of doctors offices and honestly same. They look like it was meant to be a house, but they turned it into a doctors office. A lot of clinics are like that, like the eye doctor I went to last time, it was part of a series of houses along a neighborhood, and unless there wasn’t a sign on the side of the door saying Dr. Molly-Ophthalmologist and the address, I would have thought it was a normal house lol
For years my Neurologist’s office was in a home he owned. He lived two doors down. Something about the home made the visits easier. The neighborhood was a small cul-de-sac a block off a Main Street and a block from a Medical Center...His lovely Great Danes were around (I got to visit them..) and his sculpture art ...( he made me a gift shortly before we parted ...). Personal Connections are so important in healthcare ❤️
My cardiologist’s office is decorated to look like that. There’s some psychology behind it, it basically makes it less intimidating and it makes you feel more comfortable going to the doctor than if it looked totally sterile and white.
Such a decent and sweet guy , knows the name of all his nurses and cares about everybody in the office , I wish I could work in that place cos everybody loves him 🥰❤️
Dr Mike discussing hearing hoofbeats and thinking a Zebra instead of a horse moment with a possible EDS diagnosis made me so happy! Thank you for sharing about your process of tests leading you a possible Dx that was not just a normal easy Dx!!!
As a struggling medical student, seeing Doc Mike’s vlogs makes it a tad bit easier for me to pursue. It makes me feel inspired seeing his passion to serve in the medical profession. Thanks doc!
As horrible as this pandemic is, at least we can say one good thing came out of it. Doctors and patients are finally realizing the amazing, untapped potential of telemedicine. As a chronic illness patient living 500km from a major center, these phone appointments each save me hundreds of dollars and two days of travel time.
@Hal Jordan Your points are very poorly put together and filled with BS so here’s what I’m gonna say: -COVID19 is, in fact, a deadly virus. -Telehealth is perfect for a lot of patients and reasons, especially considering we’re in a pandemic and want to minimise potential exposure. -BLM is incredibly important, and ACAB and if you disagree you’re racist. Innocent POC are dying and you want to talk about and compare that cause to “antique shops”? Wtf..?
"-BLM is incredibly important, and ACAB and if you disagree you’re racist." Because you say so apparently. No discussion, no arguments, no figures. It's amazing that you accuse someone else of putting his points poorly together.
@@GuntherL1 I don’t have time to discuss wether people’s lives matter or not. In fact, it shouldn’t even be a discussion. People’s lives aren’t something that should be up for debate, especially when they are facing systematic oppression and racism every moment of their lives. At least my points aren’t just conspiracies attempting to claim COVID19 isn’t that bad.
@Hal Jordan I appreciate your wanting for neat, factual points which are put together in a way which is both easy to understand and explained beyond the initial statement, I truly do. However, you very well may simply be a troll and I personally do not care enough to keep up a logical and consistent conversation with a troll. That’s fair, many of the themes in modern TV/Social Media do tend to lean more left (by American terms, clearly). Many people do blindly accept what seems to be a “popular opinion” in the time they are hearing it, but many (like myself) attempt to do research on multiple platforms, from multiple sources and put a bias aside (because, if we’re being honest, we all have one as much as we’d like to think we don’t) to form my own opinion, mainly based off facts and reliable research. I simply cannot tell what point you are attempting to make here so I’m going to skip past it as it doesn’t seem to have the proper structure you enjoy oh so much Systematic racism and oppression is a real issue and is completely valid (you could find numerous sources via a simple google search if you don’t want to actually research the topic), and hardly anything is shown on social media and TV in comparison to all the cases in which it happened. COVID-19 is still very serious and has permanently harmed many, many people (young and old). One of the main reasons it may appear so hyped up in the media is because it has harmed a lot of people and many are unsure and scared of it and so the media is trying to give them information (though sometimes it may be incorrect). I can’t tell if you’re attempting to say things such as climate change are incorrect, but you seem like a trumpet either way from what I have seen above. You are neither “woke” nor a “thinker”. You are simply trying to get people to agree with your political beliefs by insulting their independent thinking capabilities. Nice trick, by the way. If you are a troll, please leave me be. I have absolutely no intention of making this a regular event.
I love how excited the nurse at the hospital is because of the engineering it’s super adorable and exciting that they have new equipment to help covid 19 patients!
I’ve had hEDS since I was 11, and have noticed it doesn’t get a lot of awareness. So when you mentioned it, it made me happy that a few more people have heard the term and brought the awareness up ❤️
Amen to Dr Mike speaking about EDS in a TH-cam video. I went 7 years of monthly A&E visits without any doctor even suspecting it, this can be a debilitating condition and it isn’t spoken about enough. So thank you Mike for mentioning this and making me feel validated. Much love, stay safe.
As soon as you said "easy bruising," my heart jumped. (I mean, not literally, but... you know what I mean.) I'm a physical therapist who specializes in the treatment of Ehlers-Danlos Syndrome. I have also been diagnosed with EDS myself. I can't tell you how excited I am to see EDS mentioned here, however briefly. Primary care providers being familiar with EDS and able to connect patients with the correct specialists for diagnosis and management is vital and life-changing! Thank you so much!
I LOVE how you interact with the staff. I am a CMA of 14 years currently in Nursing school and I have never come in contact with a provider who is as respectful as you are with the MA's.. They are so lucky to get the privilege of working with you. Thanks for the video! Very informative. 😊 Continue staying safe.. we will make it through!
Love that Dr Mike considered EDS, it took my cousin 7 years to get a correct diagnosis even presenting with all the key diagnostic markers and symptoms of EDS
Obviously I’m being cautious about jumping to conclusions, but I’m now wondering if I have it. Checks all the boxes. Ope, BRB, Imma schedule an appointment with my doc now. Hope your cousin is doing better now!
It took roughly 5 years to get my diagnosis and according to a piece I was reading from EDS UK they think it may not be as rare as originally thought but simply under recognised and under diagnosed so it's really great to see that Mike not only thought of it but talked about it to his audience
@@tracyhue23 The first doctor I went to about EDS (after a nurse with a daughter with it chatted to me after a hospital scan) the doctor refused to consider it saying 'you're not disabled, you're just being a woman' and I think doctor's like that really aren't helping matters. I found a doctor who would listen and look through the 4 pages of evidence/symptoms the nurse had helped me come up with and sent me to a specialist who said I was clearly eds type 3. We need more open minded docs in the world imo
@@herculesinwyoming LOL would you rather walk into a Covid-19 infected place with just a mask and no gloves and suit. Or just straight up with no protection at all. Even if masks didn't do anything, most people would like to feel safe even if they know they aren't. Lol
Engineering pulled some amazing tricks out of their hats for COVID. They ran wires through the ceiling and outside so the vents could be monitored without needing to enter the room. They also quick converted 2 additional units into isolation units. By quick I mean in a week. So yes, they're a vital part of the team! They really helped keep us safe while keeping our patients safe.
its amazing how many people called me an idiot or just looked at me like I was stupid when this all started and everyone was freaking out that there was no disinfectant available yet the shelves were full of bleach and I told them to use bleach instead.
I appreciate Dr. Mike very much. He has truly inspired me to work harder and be more disciplined. Now I'm a first-year medical student and documenting my journey. Your feedback will be greatly appreciated on my first Vlog. th-cam.com/video/qkZp3rytPMY/w-d-xo.html
I'm in the middle of being evaluated for EDS, and you mentioning it made me very happy, because I've had symptoms for years, and am only now on the path to a diagnosis.
I feel that too! I’ve always had symptoms and doctors kept telling me I was fine, it wasn’t until I was in college and I had professor who said he was hyper mobile and to ask him about it after class if you’re curious. That was when I learned about EDS and that I probably have it. Long story short it’s been almost 3 years now and I’m still trying to get evaluated but I’m happy I have some thing that’s possibly an answer.
Same, friendo! Over the last 4 years or so I've had a variety of things go wrong and I was telling my doc that it cant be 5 independent issues, that it must be one or two that are causing this variety of symptoms. Working on getting insurance before I can get tested but the more I learn about it the more I understand about myself.
thank you for giving EDS a shout out, in the last 10 years the recognition has really come along way. i remember when i first got diagnosed and no one but a rheumatologist seemed to have an idea what it was.
I get mine every year. Some times i still get a less severe strain like in March though. But I believe in Science. I remember when i was a kid my Aunt (an RN) would call all of us to the kitchen after a large family dinner and give us our shots. Before they were real common in the 80s i can remember some nasty viral infections though.
@@loveislove4879 that's amazing, I'm happy you grew up with those customs! sadly there's a lot of kids who aren't that lucky, but we gotta do whatever we can do educate ourselfs and the rest! 💜
I am 29 years old and I’ve been following you for a while now. You make me want to start studying medicine even if it might be too late.. I appreciate you and all the useful information you give us.
My friend had EDS and it's so true that it's easily overlooked. It took her almost 14 years to finally be diagnosed, and it was all because she did her own research and constantly asked about potential unusual diagnoses. We need more doctors like you who understand about thinking outside of the box!
So thankful for all the hard work that doctors and nurses have done for us! It's so impressive that your passion for helping people is relentless. Showing passion for your work can have a greater impact than you could imagine on others, encouraging and inspiring them to find their true calling.
The way this hospital has prepared for a new wave of covid is amazing. These adjustments will also be helpful for future contagious disease outbreaks. This is a great video and I'm grateful for all that healthcare workers put on the line so that the public at large can be helped. Thank you! ❤
omg some of my friends with EDS (I have several, somehow?!) struggled for YEARS to get a dx/to be taken seriously and there you are just identifying it as a potential issue right from the start 😭💙
Took me 36 years of being told I was faking for attention or just depressed before someone took note of the fact I could not only touch m,y toes I could almost put my elbows on them from a standing position. I got a 9/9 on the Brighton scale.
That hospital nurse is an absolute doll! What an intelligent and caring woman. Nurses are truly the backbone of healthcare and I love how much respect and gratitude Doctor Mike shows towards his nurses. Praying for all our healthcare heroes and every single person who helps make the hospitals run efficiently every single day.
I am so grateful you promote breats cancer awareness month. I was diagnosed in May with breast cancer, had a double mastectomy July 1st, genetic test came back negative as well as the lymphnodes for cancer and have now been told that I am clear and no chemo or radiation is needed. All because I had my first mammogram at 40. I enjoy your videos! Thank you!
As someone just recently diagnosed with hEDS after years of struggling to figure out what was wrong with me, thank you for being humble, kind and for considering a rare disorder. A lot of doctors get stuck on the "if you hear hoofbeats think horses not zebras" and it's comforting to know there are doctors out there that don't let this blind them. Your patient is very lucky to have you!
But he wouldn't have thought of that first if the patient wouldn't have already tested negative for all other bleeding and clotting disorders. You think of common diagnoses first and test for those and only then move on rarer causes, that's why it takes a little longer to get to the correct diagnosis if it's a rare disease.
@Jessica c of course I won't understand the pain of someone suffering from EDS unless I go through it myself but that wasn't my point. It's really unfortunate that some doctors are not patient enough to go through all the common diseases and then have the thought of a rarer diagnosis. I was just saying that EDS is never the first thing to come to mind because there are many other more common diseases that manifest similarly.
@@jessicah3450 My friend used to dance professionally but she has since been diagnosed with EDS and regrets the toll on her body that ballet had on her, she's mostly confined to a bed or recliner and has to travel all over the east coast to find doctors who know what to do with EDS. Unfortunately it hardly ever gets diagnosed correctly, it took her over 14 years to even get diagnosed, and then she had to find doctors and specialists who could help her!
I need a doctor like House. So many issues going on and my regular doctor was sure I had MS. So they sent me to a neurologist, who said that I have CRPS and fibromyalgia. I apparently have all of the symptoms of MS and because I didn't have enough lesions on my brain, they don't think it's likely.
Watching Bear cracks me up. We lost our Newfie earlier this year and watching Bear's goofiness reminds me so much of our Eeyore. You can truly tell the heart of a person by how they treat their pets :) Much love!!!
Two things I wanna say : 1. The Covid wing is so cool, like they really think of efficiency and safety. 2. Sponsored by Clorox? It really can't be a better time. Like I know bleach isn't solution for everything but I remember using lots of bleach and alcohol to sterilize equipment and killing microbe samples (at least in the lab, I dunno if it's the same for hospital too or not 😅)
My mom and I both have eds you don’t see many doctors who know about it. And I think it’s awesome that you know about it. Thank you for everything you do to keep all of us safe.

Breast cancer awareness month is very important to me, my mother didn’t have breast cancer. My father had breast cancer, so men if you’re in the shower and you feel something unusual go to a doctor and go get it checked.

@@1234demilovatofan hey! Biomechanical engineer here, I’ve worked very closely with a lot of biomedical engineers and even have similar job responsibilities. Healthcare has a lot (a lot lot) of very expensive and very complicated equipment that require large teams of people to operate. As a biomech I live more on the usage side of this equipment, force plates, ekg, muscle electrodes, etc. Biomedical techs, medical techs, hospital techs (many names similar jobs) will maintain all this equipment. Biomedical engineers do a large part of the designing. I know they work closely with surgeons for surgical tech also, but I don’t know that side as well. Iin my field I have at least one biomed on hand at all times and I’m constantly providing feedback on improvements I’d like to see in future design iterations. Since I work with great engineers, they always work to make sure our equipment is the best it can be for our patients to give them the best life possible. Hope this helps!
Absolutely
Three cheers for engineers!

When you know a person is not just in it for the paycheck and they want to do their job to make others lives better is the most admirable thing in the world. Keep doing what you do Dr. Mike. Appreciation for you and all the healthcare workers right now.
i was thinking the same thing 😌
I mean there's nothing wrong with being in there for the paycheck. Sometimes some people don't get to choose what they do for a living and hating your job is completely fine.
@@Sky-ui5cd Sure if you're just supporting yourself or your family. But being a doctor, you have a responsibility for the well-being of many other people, and being unhappy with your job translates to lower-quality care for them. You really shouldn't be a doctor for the money, as there are WAY easier career options for doing that.

It took a very long time for my EDS to be diagnosed, even with a couple of years of telling my doctors I thought I might have it. I did a lot of research but my docs were always thinking horses instead of zebras, which is fine until all the horses are gone! It's so wonderful to see a doctor considering other possibilities and thinking outside the box a bit. So pleased for your patient.
Yes! I'm a zebra too and it's such a roller coaster. I'm always grateful when I run into a doc that actually takes the time to learn about it and recognize it for what it is.
I was 43! every dr made me feel like I was crazy or making this up. Now I can finally get the actual care i need and not be on a ton of meds I don’t actually need.
I just got my diagnosis this week! It is so validating to know all these problems weren't something I was doing wrong.
The best thing has been for my teenage kids to be diagnosed early. This gives them so much time to take care of themselves and do physical therapy to make sure they don’t wear their bodies down.

How to know Dr Mike is great: he diagnosed EDS as a possibility
It took me over 7 years to get diagnosed, even had to find out about it by own research and had to move countries to be taken seriously.
That's insane. Moving countries shouldn't be necessary to be taken seriously. Where did you move if you don't mind me asking?
@@Lillith. It shouldn't be, you are very correct.
Well, first I moved from rural Germany to Munich, which has the only EDS specialist in the country, to get diagnosed, but even with a diagnosis doctors didn't take me seriously.
Now I live in the Netherlands and I am getting amazing care, even though I have had no income for two years, because the Netherlands and Germany are fighting about who has to pay my disability pension.
I am not saying that doctors in Germany are bad. Living in Germany with a rare progressive multiple field disease is not possible.
I know quite a few other EDS patients (we are a small community, you talk to each other) and I am not the only one with these problems - and not only in Germany.
Being taken seriously by doctors can be an impossible mission, many tend to declare you mentally ill rather than admit to being wrong or clueless.
@@Julaeable interesting. Why do you think it's better in the netherlands? I thought we (German here) have good docs... Not in any village but Munich!!
@@dinazwitscher9872 I never really understood what happened. I actually went to therapy (in the Netherlands 🤣), because - among a ton of other things, chronic illness isn't easy - I felt it was my fault.
But after discussing it with my therapists and a couple of my doctors, my conclusion is that there was a huge disconnect between them and me. They had a bit too much arrogance and thought I was a bit of a hypochondriac, when in all fairness I am just really interested in medicine and have been reading a lot of medical literature, which is how I found out about EDS as well.
This is also why I am as engaged as my body lets me in disabled rights, patient autonomy and working together of patient and doctor.
My current GP is amazing!! She knows that when I think xyz is happening that I know my body very well and we discuss together how to proceed. I have medical PTSD and a ton of weird EDS (and comorbiditiy) things, so she would never decide over my head. We put together my entire team of doctors this way.
One doctor was an absolute idiot and when I reported him to his hospital, they asked me what I think would be an appropriate action.
In Germany I reported a doctor, because he left me alone with an anaphylactic shock and I suffered a cardiac arrest and nothing ever happened.
How is Dr. Mike real?? He’s literally perfect in every aspect
Agree. If I ever meet him in person, I wouldn't know how to act. He's literally an angel.

I feel you! When I got diagnosed with EDS I got told to research as much as possible bc I was going to be responsible to educate the doctors who don’t know about it. Considering I was 14 at the time it was pretty ridiculous that I was being relied on rather than the fully trained medical professionals, but that’s the life of a 🦓. It’s honestly so nice hearing a doctor remember what he was taught and actually thinking about it. So happy for his patient, especially considering EDS normally takes 5-10 years to be diagnosed!
Same! It's frustrating when we have to be more educated about our condition than our doctors so we can explain to them what's wrong with us 😉 Just getting to a diagnosis is physically, emotionally, and financially draining.
I wish you many extra spoons, fellow zebra 🥄🥄🥄🦓
@@katie6731 I thank you for the spoons, they are always needed especially at this time of year. I wish you extra spoons too. It’s always so ridiculously shocking when you don’t actually have to explain EDS to doctors, even at supposed specialist clinics! A fair few doctors seem to think that it doesn’t exist and it’s either mental problems or faking/inducing illness. It’s so stupid 🙈 Thankfully I’m in the UK so most of my appointments are covered by the NHS, but to get my initial diagnosis I had to go to private clinics which was sure as hell not cheap, plus all the travel to various hospitals. My mum has EDS too, but had only been diagnosed with “double jointedness” before I was diagnosed, she was in her 40’s at that point and her joints had gotten so bad she had severe osteoarthritis by the age of 19. It’s so very frustrating that the delay in diagnosis and then any treatment can lead to life long complications. And then even after you’ve got the diagnosis you’re never safe from medical gaslighting which is unbelievably ridiculous.
@@ThatFangirlZebra This time of year is definitely rough on my body too. I live in the Southern California desert, and the temperature fluctuations just knock me out. Tomorrow is supposed to be 23C warmer than tonight.
I envy you your medical system, even though it's not always perfect for people like us. Unfortunately, there probably isn't an ideal setup for those of us who have such rare diseases, especially because it seems like all of the EDS patients I've talked with have other illnesses as well. It can be hard to figure out which disease is doing what. Now that you have a diagnosis, can the NHS take care of you, or do you still have to go to private doctors?
I had one doctor tell me to smile more. Three others told me to get pregnant. Most of them blamed my symptoms on one of my other diseases or depression (which I absolutely have, it's just not the cause of my joints going haywire). I appreciated the ones who just flat-out told me that they didn't know what was wrong with me. Medical gaslighting is awful, insidious, and incredibly destructive. It's hard to fight the disbelief and keep trying doctor after doctor for years.
I don't think most people understand why I was so relieved to finally have a diagnosis that made sense. It's not a diagnosis anyone really wants, but I was starting to doubt my own experience of my body, and hearing that there was something real there was a vindication of everything I'd been living with. I don't generally wish illness on anyone, but I sometimes wanted the doctors to be able to feel what it's like to live in my body for a day.
@@katie6731 I felt the exact same, I started to think my mind was making up symptoms, especially when a few members of my family started doubting if I was actually ill. Even now if I start to hear anything to do with the phrase psychosomatic I get very defensive, even though I know that mental health can have a knock on effect on physical health, but it’s a subconscious reaction now.
Most of the time I can see doctors on the NHS, but sometimes the waiting list for appointments can be years long so if you need to be seen more urgently it tends to be better to pay for it. I’m very grateful for the NHS, with the amount of specialists for different symptoms I see (Gastroenterology, Urology, Cardiology,Orthopaedic, Rheumatology and a few others) I would be absolutely bankrupt by now, purely for the cost of one specialty.
Oh bless you, I couldn’t deal with that type of weather! My joints are absolutely awful in the cold but other symptoms are a hell of a lot worse in the heat. I can deal with my joints most of the time, but heat comes with a lot more serious symptoms. The temperatures in the UK this summer we’re pretty awful, but it didn’t come anywhere close to the temperatures in the US so I really feel for you!

I'm so thankful that you mentioned EDS. I was diagnosed 11 years ago, when very few providers knew about it and I had to travel 500 miles to a geneticist who specialises in connective tissue disorders to get a diagnosis. Just a heads up, there are a few common comorbidities that occur with EDS, such as dysautonomia (like POTS, or postural orthostatic tachycardia syndrome), and mast cell activation syndrome. Any patient that you're evaluating for EDS should also be evaluated for dysautonomia and MCAS. Also, October is also dysautonomia awareness month along with breast cancer awareness month.
I didn't know October was dysautonomia awareness month, thanks for sharing
As someone who got hypermobility syndrome passed down from a diagnosed mom, I am thinking of getting tested for EDS as I have the same proplem with bruising and cuts (they take a long time to heal so its very annoying) plus other stuff.
For the hypermobility syndrome you thecnically can diagnose yourself without a doctore by using the point list (you need to have atleast 9 points) but I don't recommend it. We know I have it from me hitting 8-9 ponits and knowing my mom has it we are sure I have it.
And yes, it can be really fucking painfull. Have had to limp at school because of not being able to do my usual thing to the joint to get rid of the pain. Not fun.

Oh wow, totally feel you. So suffering and you’re running from one doctor to another. Many saying to my husband and I that my little girl may have better luck with a psychiatrist. Right??? It’s so sad when you or your child are perfectly fine going to school, in sports, in her case waiting to be called for a professional dancing job when she would turn 17 which she had worked so hard for. In our case working all your life and all of a sudden something changes your life in a blink of an eye. My daughter was 7 when she started having small minor symptoms like acid reflux. At 11 she was in excruciating abdominal pain and puking for hours non stop even when being on an empty stomach...would pass out while going from one classroom to another. Kind of like you she gets fevers or start freezing because her internal thermostat doesn’t function like a normal person would. Sensitivity with clothes. So many weird things that I had never heard of. Like who makes up something like this??? Her autonomic system was completely out of wack. They would admit her through out the years for weeks in children’s hospitals and all we would get is that she had slow digestion, that all her test seemed normal. That she should try more fiber 🤷🏻♀️ What? The girl lost so much weight and they wanted to do a peg feeding tube with no diagnosis given to us but these ...Constipation, gerd, IBS. I have IBS and constipation but I’m not dying in pain, she had no sleep screaming and crying or passing out, could not swallow anything 🤦🏻♀️. I can function, she couldn’t. Meanwhile they couldn’t give me an answer for her heart rate going from 40bpm to 180bpm while laying in a hospital bed. Then new things started happening like long seizures. Now she is 21 with a mind of a teen because she wasn’t able to have a social life and was always in hospitals. Her friends disappeared. We had doctors that treated us horribly and some nurses as well. Her mental health started changing drastically from being an extremely sweet girl to being angry and defensive because doctors would ask her questions sarcastically. I’m so glad that some of the younger doctors that we are getting are open minded and are having more exposure to these rare conditions, autoimmune disorders or diseases. I pray that you get comfort and a great doctor that will bring healing to you. I wish no one I mean no one this kind of suffering. We need quicker answers so that we can get the correct treatments.

@@normaortega4654
Her cardiologist asked specifically for the geneticist to check for EDS testing. Right now they know of I believe 13 different types. hEDS being the most common which they refer to it as hypermobile Ehlers Danlos Syndrome. A connective tissue disorder that effect every organ in your body because it’s what hold us together. Like the glue of our entire body. It’s very difficult to get tested for any genetic conditions where we live. We live in Florida and we do not have many geneticist here that test adults. They mainly deal with pregnant women and infants. That is the biggest issue we ran into once the cardiologist agreed that her condition had all the symptoms of these rare conditions.
I love how you still inform people on how you deal with certain situations while keeping patient confidentiality, gives a personal touch to your videos
EDS patient here. The time to diagnosis and the amount of medical gaslighting is unreal... Glad you haven't forgotten what you learned in school.
In the ER the other day I had a nurse that was really not thinking I had it. Interrogated me about who diagnosed me and what kind of doctor I had. Thankfully it being a geneticist and me having a known mutation I tend to make those people stop. The difference in the way she treated me before and after was striking
yes!! so many doctors are so used to their day to day and don’t realize there’s times when they need to think out of the box/refresh things they’ve forgotten about! i’m still trying to get diagnosed after 4 years of chronic pain :/
Agreed! Honestly the amount of times I’ve heard accusations of psychosomatic conditions or munchausens is ridiculous! Even after diagnosis the gaslighting is stupidly common. (Fellow EDS and associated conditions Zebra here)
Um, about that...

" I'd never trade my career for anything else."
Awwww.. 🤧 I feel the passion. ❤️
why does his office look like a house turned into a office
I was about to ask the same thing.
I have been to a lot of doctors offices and honestly same. They look like it was meant to be a house, but they turned it into a doctors office. A lot of clinics are like that, like the eye doctor I went to last time, it was part of a series of houses along a neighborhood, and unless there wasn’t a sign on the side of the door saying Dr. Molly-Ophthalmologist and the address, I would have thought it was a normal house lol
For years my Neurologist’s office was in a home he owned. He lived two doors down. Something about the home made the visits easier. The neighborhood was a small cul-de-sac a block off a Main Street and a block from a Medical Center...His lovely Great Danes were around (I got to visit them..) and his sculpture art ...( he made me a gift shortly before we parted ...). Personal Connections are so important in healthcare ❤️
It's a profession that can work in almost any setting..
My cardiologist’s office is decorated to look like that. There’s some psychology behind it, it basically makes it less intimidating and it makes you feel more comfortable going to the doctor than if it looked totally sterile and white.
Such a decent and sweet guy , knows the name of all his nurses and cares about everybody in the office , I wish I could work in that place cos everybody loves him 🥰❤️
Dr Mike discussing hearing hoofbeats and thinking a Zebra instead of a horse moment with a possible EDS diagnosis made me so happy! Thank you for sharing about your process of tests leading you a possible Dx that was not just a normal easy Dx!!!
In fairness, he also said they had already ruled out various horses before he thought of the zebra.
Right?! Shout out to all the 🦓
Same!!!! I’m like YES!!! Zebras 🦓 gettin a shout out!!!!
Love seeing this as a 🦓 (hEDS)
Another zebra here: hEDS.
As a struggling medical student, seeing Doc Mike’s vlogs makes it a tad bit easier for me to pursue. It makes me feel inspired seeing his passion to serve in the medical profession. Thanks doc!

Regular use of Bleach is suspected of causing COPD.
As horrible as this pandemic is, at least we can say one good thing came out of it. Doctors and patients are finally realizing the amazing, untapped potential of telemedicine. As a chronic illness patient living 500km from a major center, these phone appointments each save me hundreds of dollars and two days of travel time.
@Hal Jordan Your points are very poorly put together and filled with BS so here’s what I’m gonna say:
-COVID19 is, in fact, a deadly virus.
-Telehealth is perfect for a lot of patients and reasons, especially considering we’re in a pandemic and want to minimise potential exposure.
-BLM is incredibly important, and ACAB and if you disagree you’re racist. Innocent POC are dying and you want to talk about and compare that cause to “antique shops”? Wtf..?
@Hal Jordan ... my brain hurts from this logic. just wow.
"-BLM is incredibly important, and ACAB and if you disagree you’re racist." Because you say so apparently. No discussion, no arguments, no figures. It's amazing that you accuse someone else of putting his points poorly together.
@@GuntherL1 I don’t have time to discuss wether people’s lives matter or not. In fact, it shouldn’t even be a discussion. People’s lives aren’t something that should be up for debate, especially when they are facing systematic oppression and racism every moment of their lives.
At least my points aren’t just conspiracies attempting to claim COVID19 isn’t that bad.
@Hal Jordan I appreciate your wanting for neat, factual points which are put together in a way which is both easy to understand and explained beyond the initial statement, I truly do. However, you very well may simply be a troll and I personally do not care enough to keep up a logical and consistent conversation with a troll.
That’s fair, many of the themes in modern TV/Social Media do tend to lean more left (by American terms, clearly). Many people do blindly accept what seems to be a “popular opinion” in the time they are hearing it, but many (like myself) attempt to do research on multiple platforms, from multiple sources and put a bias aside (because, if we’re being honest, we all have one as much as we’d like to think we don’t) to form my own opinion, mainly based off facts and reliable research.
I simply cannot tell what point you are attempting to make here so I’m going to skip past it as it doesn’t seem to have the proper structure you enjoy oh so much
Systematic racism and oppression is a real issue and is completely valid (you could find numerous sources via a simple google search if you don’t want to actually research the topic), and hardly anything is shown on social media and TV in comparison to all the cases in which it happened. COVID-19 is still very serious and has permanently harmed many, many people (young and old). One of the main reasons it may appear so hyped up in the media is because it has harmed a lot of people and many are unsure and scared of it and so the media is trying to give them information (though sometimes it may be incorrect).
I can’t tell if you’re attempting to say things such as climate change are incorrect, but you seem like a trumpet either way from what I have seen above. You are neither “woke” nor a “thinker”. You are simply trying to get people to agree with your political beliefs by insulting their independent thinking capabilities. Nice trick, by the way.
If you are a troll, please leave me be. I have absolutely no intention of making this a regular event.
I love how excited the nurse at the hospital is because of the engineering it’s super adorable and exciting that they have new equipment to help covid 19 patients!

I’ve had hEDS since I was 11, and have noticed it doesn’t get a lot of awareness. So when you mentioned it, it made me happy that a few more people have heard the term and brought the awareness up ❤️
Amen to Dr Mike speaking about EDS in a TH-cam video. I went 7 years of monthly A&E visits without any doctor even suspecting it, this can be a debilitating condition and it isn’t spoken about enough. So thank you Mike for mentioning this and making me feel validated. Much love, stay safe.
As soon as you said "easy bruising," my heart jumped. (I mean, not literally, but... you know what I mean.) I'm a physical therapist who specializes in the treatment of Ehlers-Danlos Syndrome. I have also been diagnosed with EDS myself. I can't tell you how excited I am to see EDS mentioned here, however briefly. Primary care providers being familiar with EDS and able to connect patients with the correct specialists for diagnosis and management is vital and life-changing! Thank you so much!
I LOVE how you interact with the staff. I am a CMA of 14 years currently in Nursing school and I have never come in contact with a provider who is as respectful as you are with the MA's.. They are so lucky to get the privilege of working with you. Thanks for the video! Very informative. 😊 Continue staying safe.. we will make it through!
I had the same thoughts about his interactions
@@ourcorrectopinions6824 what’s embarrassing?
Love that Dr Mike considered EDS, it took my cousin 7 years to get a correct diagnosis even presenting with all the key diagnostic markers and symptoms of EDS
It took us over a year to get my daughter diagnosed and I had to get pushy. Turns out it runs in my side of the family.
Obviously I’m being cautious about jumping to conclusions, but I’m now wondering if I have it. Checks all the boxes. Ope, BRB, Imma schedule an appointment with my doc now. Hope your cousin is doing better now!
It took roughly 5 years to get my diagnosis and according to a piece I was reading from EDS UK they think it may not be as rare as originally thought but simply under recognised and under diagnosed so it's really great to see that Mike not only thought of it but talked about it to his audience
@@ambercloud I think that it's under diagnoses too.
@@tracyhue23 The first doctor I went to about EDS (after a nurse with a daughter with it chatted to me after a hospital scan) the doctor refused to consider it saying 'you're not disabled, you're just being a woman' and I think doctor's like that really aren't helping matters. I found a doctor who would listen and look through the 4 pages of evidence/symptoms the nurse had helped me come up with and sent me to a specialist who said I was clearly eds type 3. We need more open minded docs in the world imo
His personality and obvious care for his patients is just amazing. All doctors should be like him but unfortunately many are not. This one is a gem.

When Bear was playing with his squeaky toy, my dog lifted his head and started to freak out. 🤣
I’m so thankful for hospital doctors and nurses. When I had to go to the hospital due to Covid I had the nicest and most understanding nurses ever.
Engineering pulled some amazing tricks out of their hats for COVID.
They ran wires through the ceiling and outside so the vents could be monitored without needing to enter the room.
They also quick converted 2 additional units into isolation units. By quick I mean in a week.
So yes, they're a vital part of the team! They really helped keep us safe while keeping our patients safe.
its amazing how many people called me an idiot or just looked at me like I was stupid when this all started and everyone was freaking out that there was no disinfectant available yet the shelves were full of bleach and I told them to use bleach instead.
Maybe they meant antiseptic (e.g., alcohol) but are not familiar with the term.
You can’t disinfect your hands with a bleach, so people were looking for ethanol- based hand sanitizers, which disappeared entirely.
That’s all I could find in Florida!
Oh yes let me just carry around a gallon of bleach so I can rub it on my hands when I'm in public and can't get to a sink with hot water.
there was no bleach where i live :(
Dr Mike: I need to leave my house clean

I'm in the middle of being evaluated for EDS, and you mentioning it made me very happy, because I've had symptoms for years, and am only now on the path to a diagnosis.
I feel that too! I’ve always had symptoms and doctors kept telling me I was fine, it wasn’t until I was in college and I had professor who said he was hyper mobile and to ask him about it after class if you’re curious. That was when I learned about EDS and that I probably have it. Long story short it’s been almost 3 years now and I’m still trying to get evaluated but I’m happy I have some thing that’s possibly an answer.
Yo EDS squad I feel your pain :)
Same, friendo! Over the last 4 years or so I've had a variety of things go wrong and I was telling my doc that it cant be 5 independent issues, that it must be one or two that are causing this variety of symptoms. Working on getting insurance before I can get tested but the more I learn about it the more I understand about myself.
Good Luck on your journey! I’ve been on that path before and was diagnosed too!

My friend had EDS and it's so true that it's easily overlooked. It took her almost 14 years to finally be diagnosed, and it was all because she did her own research and constantly asked about potential unusual diagnoses. We need more doctors like you who understand about thinking outside of the box!
The changes they made to the hospital are astounding. Thank you for showing us.

The way this hospital has prepared for a new wave of covid is amazing. These adjustments will also be helpful for future contagious disease outbreaks. This is a great video and I'm grateful for all that healthcare workers put on the line so that the public at large can be helped. Thank you! ❤
I wonder how that Hospital is doing now a month later with this new surge.
omg some of my friends with EDS (I have several, somehow?!) struggled for YEARS to get a dx/to be taken seriously and there you are just identifying it as a potential issue right from the start 😭💙
Took me 36 years of being told I was faking for attention or just depressed before someone took note of the fact I could not only touch m,y toes I could almost put my elbows on them from a standing position. I got a 9/9 on the Brighton scale.
What’s EDS
That hospital nurse is an absolute doll! What an intelligent and caring woman. Nurses are truly the backbone of healthcare and I love how much respect and gratitude Doctor Mike shows towards his nurses. Praying for all our healthcare heroes and every single person who helps make the hospitals run efficiently every single day.

All because I had my first mammogram at 40. I enjoy your videos! Thank you!
As someone just recently diagnosed with hEDS after years of struggling to figure out what was wrong with me, thank you for being humble, kind and for considering a rare disorder. A lot of doctors get stuck on the "if you hear hoofbeats think horses not zebras" and it's comforting to know there are doctors out there that don't let this blind them. Your patient is very lucky to have you!
We certainly do! Takes far too long for many of us to be diagnosed.
But he wouldn't have thought of that first if the patient wouldn't have already tested negative for all other bleeding and clotting disorders. You think of common diagnoses first and test for those and only then move on rarer causes, that's why it takes a little longer to get to the correct diagnosis if it's a rare disease.
@Jessica c of course I won't understand the pain of someone suffering from EDS unless I go through it myself but that wasn't my point. It's really unfortunate that some doctors are not patient enough to go through all the common diseases and then have the thought of a rarer diagnosis. I was just saying that EDS is never the first thing to come to mind because there are many other more common diseases that manifest similarly.
@Jessica c also, it does have a lot to do with things being ruled out. That's how diagnosing a condition works.
@Jessica c and please re-read what I've written. Cheers :)

Unfortunately it hardly ever gets diagnosed correctly, it took her over 14 years to even get diagnosed, and then she had to find doctors and specialists who could help her!
I need a doctor like House. So many issues going on and my regular doctor was sure I had MS. So they sent me to a neurologist, who said that I have CRPS and fibromyalgia. I apparently have all of the symptoms of MS and because I didn't have enough lesions on my brain, they don't think it's likely.
