@@talknerdy2me926 I also wondered since I was a child what the hell the Grinch was. I felt he was a demon, but since I didn't think anyone would appreciate that interpretation, I kept that to myself. Frankly, I think it takes imagination to question what is presented to you, as a child or adult.
It's important to remember that the Grinch's heart was two sizes too *small* to begin with, so growing three sizes has the net effect of only being *one* size too big. Granted, that's still some pretty explosive growth.
Okay but what’s the measuring system? What’s a _size_ in _centimeters_ or something? How else will we be able to treat this man? _gestures to a literal bipedal green animal_
Dear Dr. Mike, That is not a cigar, it’s a pipe. This snowman is based on the Victorian version of a snowman. They were made by children playing outside in the snowy winter. To finish it off, kids would use stuff that was readily available i.e.: pieces of coal, which would have been small lumps of coal from the kitchen stove, fireplace or furnace. Traditionally, when a snowman is finished one would use lumps of coal for the eyes and mouth, a carrot for the nose, a scarf around the neck and yes an old pipe that would have been have been used by their father when pipe smoking was more popular, available and prevalent than cigarettes. Oh yes, and top hats were the common attire at one time and so many households had a top hat lying around. Commonly a corn cob pipe was used if not, your dad’s or grandfather’s old pipe. When I was young our house was heated with a coal furnace in the cellar and we used coal in our fireplace. Branches were used as arms with the twigs at the ends representing fingers.
"This snowman is based on the Victorian version of a snowman" It was! But it was animated in a time way beyond that. I'm an "old" person, but still can't see passed the connotations. It was not right then. Sure as hell ain't right now.
Edit for no instead of yes, because you're not wrong. He does overreact but it's hilarious, though, because "Frosty" the song Literally goes: ....with a corncob pipe, and a button nose and two eyes made out of coal....Whatever is in that pipe is left to a child's imagination. I, as a child that made snowmen that looked just like Frosty, there was nothing in that pipe. 😂 Dr. Mike's just so much younger than me. I think my daughter is older than he.
Im pretty sure the grinch heart thing is meant to be a metaphor for him having a bigger "heart" as in more compassion. As was described earlier in the movie that he was so bitter that his heart was actually "two sizes too small"
Apparently the Grinch is inspired by Seuss himself. His wife was dying of cancer and he was getting fed up with the commercialization around Christmas. That was interesting to find out!
Interesting how he materialized the look of his own mindset as the Grinch. Maybe he chose green because he was envious of people who were happy and healthy because his wife was not? I feel like the Grinch is a member of the bigfoot family 😃
@@lillybarnett4027 I also feel like people judge him too harshly for the situation with his first wife. There was so much going on in their lives at that time she died and so much about their internal feelings on the matter that we just don't know, that to me it feels overly simplistic to cast him as a cartoonishly evil villain in that situation.
Dr Seuss’ father worked at the zoo in Forest Park, Springfield MA. He would often hang out at the zoo with his father, and was inspired by the various animals when he grew up to be the famous illustrator we know and love.
Frosty the Snowman is not actually smoking the pipe! It's just decoration. The song specifically states "a corn cob pipe" but he is never shown lighting it and smoke never rises from it.
@@PhantomGanonOoT Not just a button nose like one would observe about someone, but a literal button like you'd find on a shirt. Though now I'm wondering about Frosty with a nose that's a button like a buzzer on a game show
I'm a major fan of A Christmas Story and in the 'extras' DVD explains how they created the tongue on pole scene. The pole had a hole in it with suction making it look like their tongue gets stuck to it. It's funny cuz it's true!
Thank you, Dr. Mike, for mentioning the danger of a doctor ignoring gaining weight. The example you gave of building fluid and eventual heart failure is EXACTLY how my husband died, because his doctor told my husband that she would "ask around", never heard back from her, and my husband ended up in hospice misdiagnosed for two years before having a heart attack and passing away because she didn't bother to look into the very clear symptoms of heart failure. I wish I knew then what I know now.
You’ve helped me so much with advocating for my medical care as a young girl with lupus and other complicated health issues and also helped me help my dad with his CLL diagnoses thank you so much Dr Mike
10:14 my brother did this when we were kids. Had to tell him to drool like a maniac to get him unstuck in time for us to make it home. It worked because we didn't have any water. I did my best to keep him calm but between the drool and him warming up due to being upset, he unstuck himself and we ran him. Mom, none the wiser.
There's actually all kinds of things Dr. Mike could have reviewed from Elf 😂 Buddy getting hit by a taxi, spraying perfume into his mouth, chewing used gum stuck to a handrail...🤣🤦♀
Huh, who would have thought growing up is realizing that Tim Allen had every right to be worried, and was showcasing a real life problem of doctors blaming everything on someone's weight
Yeah, as a kid I never really thought much of that scene, but as an adult it's like... yeah this doctor sucks "Gee you gaining 200 pounds in a month and suddenly having white hair is probably fine, idk." I mean it's realistic, but yikes.
I’ve been between 265 and 270 lbs since the pandemic when I bulked up. I’m also on the verge of a cancer diagnosis and while at the cancer centre they weighed me and I was at 252lbs with clothes on. I asked the doctor and nurse if that was a sign and they just shrugged, that’s also the reaction I’ve gotten from every medical professional.
Frosty has a pipe, not a cigar. I don't think smoke ever comes out of it, so it's probably just decorative. It's something the kids put in his mouth before he came to life (which means that the kids had a pipe). In that scene they were headed to the North Pole to prevent Frosty from melting when it becomes spring.
I can just picture Dr. Mike doing this in front of a room full of kindergartners. They'd be rolling their eyes, snickering, sassing back at his explanations. That would make a great video!
Great video, Doc. Very educational, humorous, and very interesting. Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year. I am so sorry to hear about your mother passing away. You have my deepest condolences and prayers. I hope you have a healthy and a safe new year.
As a parent of a five year old currently enjoying these holiday classics all of these thoughts have been running through my head 😂 Thanks for the validation Dr Mike 😜
I always get a kick out of Doctor Mike getting so worked up over fake TV shows, especially cartoons!! 🤣 Love ya Doctor Mike! Thanks for always being awesome!
I just want to say thank you for everything you do. Your content is the best. I quit smoking and your videos have helped me get through cravings quite a few times. I've relapsed a few times but now I'm quit for good. Thank you Doctor Mike.
Well, the Grinch's heart did start out 2 sizes too small. Is having an undersized heart a biologically possible medical condition? If his heart only grew 2 sizes and not 3, would that have cured him of something, improved some symptoms?
One of my friends actually has an undersized heart, so yes it is possible. I'm not 100% sure about the second question, but I think it would improve the symptoms. - A person with cardiomyopathy and heart arrhythmia. (PVCs)
@@BennyBringerOfChaos I may be misremembering the scenario. I remember the Grinch eating a feat with cindy lou in the 2D animation then the narrator saying this is the last time, something after that I cannot remember. Recalling those sounds doesn't give words, but it was the end of the movie. Then I remember someone reacting to it saying that it is accurate because he died before having another Christmas. Or after this Christmas. Forgive me, I have lost the ability to visually recall memories for a long time now. I'm only 23 and losing mental senses I used to have and enjoy like remembering how things felt, smelled, tasted and sounded. It all got replaced my a sense of presence or existence.
This really sounds like you are crossing the Grinch with A Christmas Carol. In that, Christmas Present tells Scrooge that he sees a vacant seat and a crutch without an owner, foreshadowing Tiny Tims' death. Scrooge asks that he be spared and Present tells him "If these shadows remain unaltered by the future, none other of my race will find him here". His "race" is Christmas Presents. He is born at midnight and dies at midnight. He says he has "over 1800" siblings, of which he is the youngest. If taken literally, no other Christmas Present will find Tiny Tim alive. I could be totally wrong, but there is no mention of the Grinch dying, and your description of not living to see another Christmas fits the other so well.@@ryu_798
Frosty isn't really smoking anything in that pipe. He just has it in his mouth because back in the day, when people would make a snowman, a corn cob pipe was one of the common things they would use to stick on its mouth. Just like using a carrot for a nose and rocks or lumps of coal for the eyes and mouth and shoving a stick into each side of the snowman for arms. The pipe is simply an accessory.
What animal is the Grinch? Who knows! Dr. Seuss dreamed up many outrageous "animals" for his books, and that's why I loved reading them to my students! I also loved the rhymes and they just slipped off my tongue giving me as much joy as my students! I am retired after teaching elementary school for 30 years.
I read in an old medical book (c. 1960 I think) that pregnant women should limit themselves to 10 cigarettes a day. Thank goodness medicine has advanced since then.
WOAH....... It really does make me wonder how so many people lived back then. Women were smoking and drinking while pregnant back then and still having multiple children. I feel like pregnant women get shamed so much these days for doing just about anything........ No wonder so many women hide their pregnancies for as long as they can lol.
They used to think that small babies were "perfection in miniature" and, on top of the cigarettes would have women diet if the doctor felt they were gaining too much weight. And, even earlier, my great-grandmother's doctor used to prescribe cigarettes to children to help them cough up phlegm. This would have been in the early 1900's.
@@kathleendavidson3316 a family member of mine recently had a Dr suggest marijuana use for her morning sickness....... It's a free for all out there lol
"You can not call pigeons piranhas of the sky" 😂😂😂 That question really made me laugh, Sam. I'll have to agree with Dr. though, that's what we have voltures and ravens for.😅
What Dr. Mike mentions at 2:20, I heard it is called 3rd hand smoke. Not only can the smoke come from the smoker's clothing, but also the furniture they sit in when smoking.
As someone who's allergic to tobacco (yes any Drs out there the actual plant) I can verify that residue off clothes or a smoker WILL put me in a sneezing fit, as well as any of my furniture they say on for upto 1-2hrs later. Heavy smokers clothing will cause wheezing. & YES before smoking was banned in clubs & restaurants I LIVED on antihistamines & inhalers.
10:29 reminds me of my friend who I lost 3 years ago from cancer 💔💔. But its the best memory I have of her, we both were on our night shift and at the break we decided to eat an ice cream bar. So we paid and opened it and her tongue got stuck to it, and me being me I was on the ground laughing my lungs out. I had to take her to the washroom after I was finished laughing and put tap water on it for it to come out. OMG! I miss her so much, we had some great fun shifts together. ❤❤❤
I was always pissed at the doc in the Santa Clause. He really wasn't hearing Scott. He literally gained a bazillion pounds overnight, grew a beard and went gray in days. Like that's worth investigating
@@rileynguyen8880your kindve right but evaporation and boiling are their own thing, evaporation occurs at the surface of say water compared to the boiling point which is throughout the molecule, also heat is added with boiling and taken away with evaporation.
yeah that smoking is one thing i do not miss about the old days, i never did '''get used to it'' smoking always made me cough, i got headaches from it and all, i was so glad when my family quit in 89.
I hope this holidays season treat Mike well and well as well of you. I know it can be a hard time of year, especially when you’ve lost a loved one around this time or already suffer from things like depression. Personally, I can say it’s been a struggle the older I get. But you’ll make it through, look for the things to be grateful for you’ve experienced or look to be grateful for the things you’re going to experience as time heals and things do improve. You’re loved and if you don’t feel you are, I love ya. Stay strong and stay warm and healthy. Reach out for help if you need it. Just know someone always thinking good things about you, even if you have no clue they exist. ❤❤❄️🎄☃️
0:48 @Dr Mike. It's called latent heat of vaporization. Evaporation uses up heat on your skin surface causing a reduction in temperature, thus, the cooling sensation
I always thought that the citizens of Who-ville looked rather rodent like, mouse or chipmunk maybe... but the Grinch is something else entirely. The Grinch shares traits with the Who but he has a very different facial structure, sort of feline maybe or perhaps fossa...
The fur is obviously mammalian, but the cleft upper lip is more like carnivorans (dogs, cats...) than humans. Not sure how widespread that trait is among other mammals...
If you ever find yourself in a situation where you're barefoot (or in socks) and you have to walk across a floor of broken glass, do the "stingray shuffle"; find a clear path to place your feet, then slide your feet across the floor without lifting them, gently brushing aside shards of glass when necessary. That way you can get to safety without seriously wounding yourself in the process. Fun fact: it's called the "stingray shuffle" because that is the same way to avoid stepping on stingrays when walking in shallow waters on the beach (by shuffling your feet in short strides along the sea floor as they kick up the sand underwater). The vibrations in the sand also help to let stingrays nearby know your presence and take caution.
Dr. Mike.... There is NO SMOKE coming from that pipe sweetie... if there were smoke coming from it then you'd be right to be concerned. There is no smoke there, so no reason to worry. Though! I did like learning the medical facts!
no way omg i was watching elf last night and thought “dr mike should make a video analyzing medical scenes from christmas movies” and i just found this in my subscription box!! get out of my head doctor mike!!🤣❤️
Both of my parents smoked right in front of me growing up, then didn’t believe me when I complained of breathing problems. I didn’t get diagnosed with asthma until my freshman year of college. Now I carefully avoid going anywhere near people who are smoking, because even the smell can make me feel sick.
It’s crazy how much I learn from him. I love watching his videos and find them actually entertaining so I am watching and laughing without even knowing I am learning.❤ I love your whole team and hope you have a wonderful day❤
Shout out to doctor mike been a fan for at least a year or two . And talking about all this medical stuff helps me better understand my condition. I had cancer (leukemia) and am cancer free now !!! 🥳 I know part of what’s it like to have it and let me say it’s bs. So doctor mike I can kinda understand what it was like with your mom. No one can know exactly what some one went through or is going through but I’m here to say I’m feeling better and I’m sorry for your loss. I had a 50% 50% chance of living and overcame that. thank you for posting. If you could tell me how leukemia works ? Also say hi to bear and Roxy for me . Merry Christmas and as always great videos. Also shout out to the backstage camera men! Merry Christmas and God bless ya’ll.
When I was a child, we used to spend tons of time at the creek by our house. One popular hang out was a small beach area. I remember wading into knee deep water and feeling a sensation akin to loose skin flapping in the water... looked down to find a HUGE pool of blood around my feet... had stepped on the complete broken bottom of a soda bottle and needed over 200 stitches to close it up
There’s a scene in “Die Hard” where after McClame sets off the C4 the cop in charge says he’s got a 100 people covered in glass. McClane says “Glass? Who gives a s*** about glass?” Die Hard also likes to foreshadow.
Oh the power of the double dare. My brother was jokingly doubled dared by my sister into eating a piece of rock salt (Poisonous) when we were waiting for the school bus. He did it. When we got to school, he told our science teacher who was concerned (he was fine... I think the nurse monitored him for a hour but he was luckily fine...) and upset. She really lectured me and my sister for letting our brother do something that dumb (we were all 13 at the time (we are triplets) so... I mean it was on him but also teenage boys can't turn down a double dare). Moral: don't double dare teenage boys into doing dumb/dangerous things because they will most likely do it / don't eat rock salt.
I'm no expert, but I don't think the type of salt matters, it was probably more about how much he ate. but yeah, don't dare people to do dangerous stuff, stick to silly innocent stuff
For those who wants to know the backstory of the Grinch, it has nothing to do with an animal, but why he created the story. Actually, in fact, Dr. Seuss himself was the inspiration behind the Grinch who Stole Christmas story after realizing he was missing something while going through his wife having problems. So, he used his experience with looking in a mirror to find what he was missing to write a story to express the message that everyone no matter how disgusting they may be, can change.
Doc, I have a second opinion: Santa is a Mortal/Immortal incarnation. He can die, through malice or accident, but Tim's character isn't bothered by a hormonal imbalance.
The seriousness in which Dr. Mike takes these movies is always hilarious to me 🤣🤣
@@talknerdy2me926 I also wondered since I was a child what the hell the Grinch was. I felt he was a demon, but since I didn't think anyone would appreciate that interpretation, I kept that to myself. Frankly, I think it takes imagination to question what is presented to you, as a child or adult.
The seriousness is what makes it fun! It takes a different approach turning silly things with serious lessons and I like learning stuff that way 😂
Yeah, including forgetting the fact that Santa is magic so he doesn't get doctor's visits.
If you think HE takes things too seriously, you ain’t seen NOTHING. Ever heard of bronies?
Love it! He;s teaching us AND making us laugh!
It's important to remember that the Grinch's heart was two sizes too *small* to begin with, so growing three sizes has the net effect of only being *one* size too big. Granted, that's still some pretty explosive growth.
I came into the comments to mention this exact same thing.
AND it didn't grow from exercise, it grew from increasing his mental and emotional well-being.

I could be totally wrong, but there is no mention of the Grinch dying, and your description of not living to see another Christmas fits the other so well.@@ryu_798
I’m sorry for your loss man. 😢 Stay strong.
Frosty isn't really smoking anything in that pipe. He just has it in his mouth because back in the day, when people would make a snowman, a corn cob pipe was one of the common things they would use to stick on its mouth. Just like using a carrot for a nose and rocks or lumps of coal for the eyes and mouth and shoving a stick into each side of the snowman for arms. The pipe is simply an accessory.
I am so sorry for your loss over the holidays Mike, you have all the love from my family
8:12 bro I always thought the grinch was a green yeti lol
I think he’s just a hairy green who
What animal is the Grinch? Who knows! Dr. Seuss dreamed up many outrageous "animals" for his books, and that's why I loved reading them to my students! I also loved the rhymes and they just slipped off my tongue giving me as much joy as my students! I am retired after teaching elementary school for 30 years.
I read in an old medical book (c. 1960 I think) that pregnant women should limit themselves to 10 cigarettes a day. Thank goodness medicine has advanced since then.
WOAH....... It really does make me wonder how so many people lived back then. Women were smoking and drinking while pregnant back then and still having multiple children. I feel like pregnant women get shamed so much these days for doing just about anything........ No wonder so many women hide their pregnancies for as long as they can lol.
Only ten? Barbaric!
They used to think that small babies were "perfection in miniature" and, on top of the cigarettes would have women diet if the doctor felt they were gaining too much weight. And, even earlier, my great-grandmother's doctor used to prescribe cigarettes to children to help them cough up phlegm. This would have been in the early 1900's.
@@kathleendavidson3316 a family member of mine recently had a Dr suggest marijuana use for her morning sickness....... It's a free for all out there lol
2:53 dr Mike just taught so many kids how to miss school 😂
It's official, Dr. Mike calls Die Hard as a Christmas movie!
That's because it is
"You can not call pigeons piranhas of the sky" 😂😂😂
That question really made me laugh, Sam.
I'll have to agree with Dr. though, that's what we have voltures and ravens for.😅
I love that Die Hard is considered a Christmas movie 🤣🤣 too good
Dr Mike: Ladders! So problematic
Also Dr Mike: I always wanted a house with a ladder in it!
😂😂
Frosty isn't smoking a cigar, he's got a pipe. Didn't you ever make a snow man?
And it says in the song 'with a corn cob pipe and a button nose.'
Mike grew up in Russia, in a region where they had plenty of snowy winters. But I guess they didn't know who Frosty was. ;-)
@@DJHoltebut he's been in America since he was a kid. So.... 🤷🏽♀️
Maybe he doesn't know the song....lol...
As a European, I never added a pipe to my snowmen.
Love this! Praying for you and your family this Christmas! ❤🙏
What Dr. Mike mentions at 2:20, I heard it is called 3rd hand smoke. Not only can the smoke come from the smoker's clothing, but also the furniture they sit in when smoking.
As someone who's allergic to tobacco (yes any Drs out there the actual plant) I can verify that residue off clothes or a smoker WILL put me in a sneezing fit, as well as any of my furniture they say on for upto 1-2hrs later. Heavy smokers clothing will cause wheezing. & YES before smoking was banned in clubs & restaurants I LIVED on antihistamines & inhalers.
"It is Santa..."
"You killed him" 💀💀💀
Frosty wasnt smoking anything, its rather just an accessory.
There was fire coming out of it, though.
@@whatsanenigma name a scene where there was fire coming out of it.
@@shikiriki_the_death_tree Wasn't there some in the scene in this video, in the train car?
@@whatsanenigma isn't it more of a deleted scene cause I don't recall seeing any lighting of that pipe.
@@whatsanenigmayup at 3:41
I think you’re forgetting that Frosty’s pipe isn’t even lit. He is a snowman, after all.
10:29 reminds me of my friend who I lost 3 years ago from cancer 💔💔.
But its the best memory I have of her, we both were on our night shift and at the break we decided to eat an ice cream bar. So we paid and opened it and her tongue got stuck to it, and me being me I was on the ground laughing my lungs out.
I had to take her to the washroom after I was finished laughing and put tap water on it for it to come out.
OMG! I miss her so much, we had some great fun shifts together. ❤❤❤
Aww 💜
Sorry for your lost, and also that's a funny story about your friend getting their tongue stuck lol
I was always pissed at the doc in the Santa Clause. He really wasn't hearing Scott. He literally gained a bazillion pounds overnight, grew a beard and went gray in days. Like that's worth investigating
This is the best way I’ve have found to keep my son and myself entertain while learning ❤️🎄 Merry (early) Christmas Dr Mike
@@rileynguyen8880your kindve right but evaporation and boiling are their own thing, evaporation occurs at the surface of say water compared to the boiling point which is throughout the molecule, also heat is added with boiling and taken away with evaporation.
yeah that smoking is one thing i do not miss about the old days, i never did '''get used to it'' smoking always made me cough, i got headaches from it and all, i was so glad when my family quit in 89.
The title of this video should have been “Ruining Your Childhood With My Medical Accuracy” lol😂
🤣 OMG if this video can ruin childhood memories of Christmas then your Christmas spirit must not be too strong lol.
I hope this holidays season treat Mike well and well as well of you. I know it can be a hard time of year, especially when you’ve lost a loved one around this time or already suffer from things like depression. Personally, I can say it’s been a struggle the older I get. But you’ll make it through, look for the things to be grateful for you’ve experienced or look to be grateful for the things you’re going to experience as time heals and things do improve. You’re loved and if you don’t feel you are, I love ya. Stay strong and stay warm and healthy. Reach out for help if you need it. Just know someone always thinking good things about you, even if you have no clue they exist. ❤❤❄️🎄☃️
Frosty's song literally says "A corn cob pipe and a button nose..." He is lyrically accurate 😅
0:48 @Dr Mike. It's called latent heat of vaporization. Evaporation uses up heat on your skin surface causing a reduction in temperature, thus, the cooling sensation
I always thought that the citizens of Who-ville looked rather rodent like, mouse or chipmunk maybe... but the Grinch is something else entirely. The Grinch shares traits with the Who but he has a very different facial structure, sort of feline maybe or perhaps fossa...
The fur is obviously mammalian, but the cleft upper lip is more like carnivorans (dogs, cats...) than humans. Not sure how widespread that trait is among other mammals...
The Grinch is really a fossa? I love it! No wonder he’s grumpy… there’s no lemurs to eat!
Doctor Mike how did you not point out the cold wet snowman holding the hypothermic child!?😂
Dr. Mike is a national treasure
8:21 lol I think grinch was based off a green poo and not an animal but just guessing XD
bro i think he looks like cat
If you ever find yourself in a situation where you're barefoot (or in socks) and you have to walk across a floor of broken glass, do the "stingray shuffle"; find a clear path to place your feet, then slide your feet across the floor without lifting them, gently brushing aside shards of glass when necessary. That way you can get to safety without seriously wounding yourself in the process.
Fun fact: it's called the "stingray shuffle" because that is the same way to avoid stepping on stingrays when walking in shallow waters on the beach (by shuffling your feet in short strides along the sea floor as they kick up the sand underwater). The vibrations in the sand also help to let stingrays nearby know your presence and take caution.
Elf-My finger has a heartbeat
Dr.Mike-That's called a pulse
-Just subscribed. You have very awesome content
The grinch is a grinch. They are a species. Its actually kinda sad that we call him grinch - its like naming a dog "dog".
Dr. Mike....
There is NO SMOKE coming from that pipe sweetie... if there were smoke coming from it then you'd be right to be concerned. There is no smoke there, so no reason to worry.
Though! I did like learning the medical facts!
no way omg i was watching elf last night and thought “dr mike should make a video analyzing medical scenes from christmas movies” and i just found this in my subscription box!! get out of my head doctor mike!!🤣❤️
Sorry for your loss Doc
Dr Mike never fails to bring us an amazing video
Mike, Mike, Mike, the narrator was speaking his heart in metaphorical term. The Grinch no longer has a cold spirit, but a cheerful one.
“Why is frosty smoking a cigar?!” Sent me 😂
Both of my parents smoked right in front of me growing up, then didn’t believe me when I complained of breathing problems. I didn’t get diagnosed with asthma until my freshman year of college. Now I carefully avoid going anywhere near people who are smoking, because even the smell can make me feel sick.
2:33 see, mother, see!!! validated by Dr. Mike himself.
3:14 his voice crack sounds like he really worries about her 🥺
It’s crazy how much I learn from him. I love watching his videos and find them actually entertaining so I am watching and laughing without even knowing I am learning.❤ I love your whole team and hope you have a wonderful day❤
Thanks for the video, Doctor Mike!
Shout out to doctor mike been a fan for at least a year or two . And talking about all this medical stuff helps me better understand my condition. I had cancer (leukemia) and am cancer free now !!! 🥳 I know part of what’s it like to have it and let me say it’s bs. So doctor mike I can kinda understand what it was like with your mom. No one can know exactly what some one went through or is going through but I’m here to say I’m feeling better and I’m sorry for your loss. I had a 50% 50% chance of living and overcame that. thank you for posting. If you could tell me how leukemia works ? Also say hi to bear and Roxy for me . Merry Christmas and as always great videos. Also shout out to the backstage camera men! Merry Christmas and God bless ya’ll.
Also peewoop!
When I was a child, we used to spend tons of time at the creek by our house. One popular hang out was a small beach area. I remember wading into knee deep water and feeling a sensation akin to loose skin flapping in the water... looked down to find a HUGE pool of blood around my feet... had stepped on the complete broken bottom of a soda bottle and needed over 200 stitches to close it up
Someone have mike sit down and watch these movies in their entirety.
Especially the santa clause. Its my fav Christmas movie
OMG thank you for saying that. He really does need to watch all of them 😊
There’s a scene in “Die Hard” where after McClame sets off the C4 the cop in charge says he’s got a 100 people covered in glass. McClane says “Glass? Who gives a s*** about glass?”
Die Hard also likes to foreshadow.
Glad to know Dr. Mike loves Christmas movies.
I think that the heart dr. Suess meant the grinch’s love for Christmas
Oh the power of the double dare. My brother was jokingly doubled dared by my sister into eating a piece of rock salt (Poisonous) when we were waiting for the school bus. He did it. When we got to school, he told our science teacher who was concerned (he was fine... I think the nurse monitored him for a hour but he was luckily fine...) and upset. She really lectured me and my sister for letting our brother do something that dumb (we were all 13 at the time (we are triplets) so... I mean it was on him but also teenage boys can't turn down a double dare). Moral: don't double dare teenage boys into doing dumb/dangerous things because they will most likely do it / don't eat rock salt.
I'm no expert, but I don't think the type of salt matters, it was probably more about how much he ate. but yeah, don't dare people to do dangerous stuff, stick to silly innocent stuff
How about triple dog dares
Wishing you guys amazing holidays and condolences for your mom! ❤️
It's so hilarious even a Christmas movie, he takes health too seriously and he's awesome! Wish you a Merry Christmas, Dr. Mike! ❤️🎄
For those who wants to know the backstory of the Grinch, it has nothing to do with an animal, but why he created the story. Actually, in fact, Dr. Seuss himself was the inspiration behind the Grinch who Stole Christmas story after realizing he was missing something while going through his wife having problems. So, he used his experience with looking in a mirror to find what he was missing to write a story to express the message that everyone no matter how disgusting they may be, can change.
So much fun! Giggling at Die Hard being included in this! Also love the glasses, they look great!
🤣
LMAO I'm thinking the Grinch is a yeti who turned green with jealousy. BTW his heart grew with compassion not from exercise 😂
Doc, I have a second opinion: Santa is a Mortal/Immortal incarnation. He can die, through malice or accident, but Tim's character isn't bothered by a hormonal imbalance.
Doc, you prove time-and-time again you are a product of your day and age.
This was thoroughly enjoyable, fine holiday fun!! 👍🏻🎄💯🥰✨️🎉
Thank you for the spread of information !
You’re one of the only people who can make me laugh
Im a nursing student and I love how I understand. Pathophysiology is a first semester class. So happy to know that stuff is REAL
