In some TV show I learned that an air bubble can kill you. When I got an infusion in the hospital I noticed that there was a bubble approaching my arm. I FREAKED OUT. I didn't want to cause drama tho, so I just watched the bubble go inside of me in fear, then I counted like 10 seconds and decided I'm probably fine 😂
Animal rescue professional here... I'm almost always a fan of a single dog getting a friend! It's great for them to have that socialization time with other dogs and also allows them to have someone to interact with when their human(s) are unavailable. Typically opposite sex pairs tend to work just a tiny bit better (though individual personality is a factor). Also, I'm not sure how old Bear is, but keep in mind any major discrepancies in energy levels. A low-energy senior dog, for example, wouldn't likely want to deal with a high-energy puppy (but of course the giant breeds tend to be lower energy puppies). And be sure to check out rescues! So many amazing giant breed dogs out there looking for homes. You could even foster first to see how Bear does with having a second dog in the home. :)
Great advice! Since so many apartments/condos/HOAs have breed and size/weight restrictions, there's a very good chance you can find a wonderful large breed dog in need of a loving home! Always something to consider when you have the ability to give a loving home to a dog that many others can't.
Doctor Mike, when you mentioned that you would mess with a doctor if your heart was on the other side of your chest, it reminded me of a health care provider who was listening to my lungs to see if I was wheezing, it's my pet peeve when they remove the stethoscope before I have finished exhaling. I don't tell them that I am a retired pediatric nurse...So, I know that they won't be my provider for very long.
I have dextracardia, and no doctor has ever noticed from listening to my heart sounds. I've even had doctors tell me I don't have it afterward, but it's a little harder to argue with an image.
I had a friend in high school who had her heart on the right side, it actually caused her breathing issues in sports activities because in her case, her lungs were not flipped so her heart was kind of squashed, still cool to know how the body adapts when things turn out different from the norm though!
I have it too, except it’s with all my organs. Only thing it does is confuse my doctors and make me slightly more likely to get respiratory infections.

We got a german shepherd who was abused and passed from home to home and so he has extreme separation anxiety. We ended up getting another dog because i was in college and everyone else in the household worked during the day (this isnt the case anymore). It really really helped and while he still has really bad separation anxiety, he at least has his brother with him at all times.
The burnt toast thing is a Canadian tradition. There was a commercial here in the early 90s and it played ALL. THE. TIME. About a mom who smelled burnt toast before a seizure and how a doctor figured out where her seizures were stemming from in the brain. I can almost recite it by memory thirty years later. We invented neurology or seizures or something.
I was coming here to post this. Wilder Penfield (inventor of the Penfield dissector), was one of the first to do brain surgery on patients while they were conscious and identify areas of seizure activity.
The Nitrate free on food packaging thing reminds me of a joke a French Canadian comedian said in one of his sketches: "When it says on the box 'cholesterol free' - it doesn't mean it doesn't have cholesterol in it, it just means they won't charge you for it."

Here's something I always wondered: through my life I have been through A LOT; streetfights, falling from heights and sometimes crashing my way down, high speed crashes, stupid ideas in general, hit on the leg by a high compression motorcycle kickstar kicking back multiple times... you name it. NEVER have I ever broken a bone or even cracked one. At the same time, in my first days of live I was hit by a severe urine infection which just wouldn't go away and the doctors fearing for my kidneys at one point. Inspite of that, I never had kidney stones or any other kidney-related problems. Wonder what makes my bones so strong and my kidneys so lucky?
In my private high school, we had just normal water fountains. But we *did* have Papa John's and Quizno's on offer every day for lunch if you didn't want the typical school lunches (for an extra cost, of course)... I lived on those 😂 If Dr. Mike is reading this, um, I misspoke and I meant I lived on salad and health foods... and definitely didn't also live on pizza throughout my university tenure, either.... >_>
A friend of mine fought with his doctors for years about his kidney stones. He would pass more than 100 stones a year and they wouldn't send it off to be analyzed. Additionally his heartburn was so frequent that he chewed tums like crazy. He finally gave up with his doctors and went to a Functional Health doctor. Functional health doctors try to actually fix patient issues rather than just manage the symptoms with medication, so Big Pharma doesn't give them research funding...therefore insurance companies frequently don't cover these doctors so he paid for it out of pocket. However, a round of testing discovered he produced low acid. A simple organic acid supplement caused the following: His body fully digested his food so he didn't eat as much and he lost 40lbs and his joints stopped aching. He passes only about 30 stones a year now.
It's actually "Musikantenknochen" (musician's bone) where I'm from in Germany. I seem to remember my primary school teacher explaining the name by musicians often have problems with that particular bone or nerve. But that teacher was a weird guy and told us some weird stuff 😆
Just throwing my hat in and saying I know it as the Musikantenknochen too, but given that my German mother *is* a Musikantin, she might have been biased :p
That's interesting, the term funny bone seems to come from the fact that hitting it makes your arm feel funny (weird) and/or that the actual name is humerus - which sounds like humorous.
@@mickimicki Depending on your anatomy, keeping your arm bent for long periods can lead to compression of the ulnar nerve and a conditon called cubital tunnel syndrome (similar to carpal tunnel just a different nerve). A lot of instruments require you keep your arm bent while playing, so your teacher may well have been right.
Love your legacy dr Mike, always asking the right questions on the podcast and sharing the science and facts, your work doesn’t go unnoticed! So much love!
@@Nsodnoajdjksl How is it "random" or have "nothing to do with this"? David & Goliath is a well known story, where David kills Goliath with one stone from a slingshot, which hit Goliath in the forehead. The story is so familiar for most people that it's a common phrase for an underdog situation.
Fun bit of trivia: Dr Pepper was named after a doctor. The inventor was trying to woo a girl and named the soda after her father, a physician, in order to get into their good graces. I have no idea if this worked. It's sweet if it worked, but it's way funnier if it didn't.
When I was a kid I could never think of anything but mayonnaise when I hear the mayo clinic haha. It's clearly AI but DR mike seems to think that someone spray foamed the area 😂
3:13 why am I just now learning about this!? My doctors never told me about this when I had seizures. They’d just ask what I felt before I had one, but wouldn’t really give me anything to start off with so I’d go, “I don’t know…” Now looking at this I know that it was strong emotions/fear. That would’ve been useful to know a few years back….
I have epilepsy as well. Right before I have seizure, I feel strong sense of impending doom. I also have a feeling that all of the lights in the room just got a thousand times brighter. I sometimes get a feeling of Déjà Vu. It’s called an aura.
@@Kenzalina_ yeah I know the feeling but I could never describe it. They told me that whenever I felt this feeling to tell someone and sit down but like they don’t quite understand how overwhelming the strong emotion of fear and deja vu can be it become near impossible to talk. I don’t have seizures anymore, but it might’ve helped me a bit to know this before. Might have saved me from a few of my injuries.
@@naynay2217 Glad you are no longer having seizures. It is such a strange feeling and hard to communicate when you are talking to someone who doesn’t know the feeling. My auras happen too quickly for me to communicate what I am feeling. People who know me well, are good at recognizing the look that I get right before a seizure. I do try to lay down when I get them. I hope for your sake you never have that experience again. It’s almost like Mitch McConnell’s freezing episodes, right before I have one. I fully understand, why you had trouble communicating that you were getting auras before your seizures. Stay well my friend.
@@Kenzalina_ My dad had a couple of seizures which turned out to be caused by a brain abscess. Since then he's taken medication for epilepsy and hasn't had a seizure, but he has said that he has felt the same feeling he had before the seizures on multiple occasions (I don't know exactly what he experiences - I think the whole experience is something he doesn't want to talk about a lot). It's good to know that other people have similar symptoms.
@@kaspianepps7946 I am so sorry to hear that. The medications can work wonders and I am happy your Dad is doing well. I can’t tell you how common it is for people with epilepsy to feel embarrassed or not like talking about their seizures. It is completely understandable given that we have no idea what we look like, when we have seizures. Especially when it happens in public. This is why it’s incredibly important to share our experiences so other people know they aren’t alone.
3:00 Crazy story: One night shortly after I started transcranial magnetic stimulation, I was in bed with a headache and struggling to get to bed when I suddenly smelled burnt toast. I went to the kitchen to check that I wasn't experiencing something serious, and it turned out that someone else in the household was literally cooking eggs and toast in a pan on the oven in the middle of the night and ended up burning it. It was a relief, but talk about a weird coincidence...
I just wanted to say that since discovering your videos a couple years ago I have learnt so much, and I would really like to be a doctor now. You are a huge inspiration to me so thank you so much :)
7:20 i once hit my little toe on the edge of a vacuum, that was the most pain I had ever felt from hitting my toe. It actually turned purple, and the slightest pressure felt like something was hitting it full force. I don't know if it broke since I didn't go to the doctor, but it did hurt for a while and made walking kind of difficult
I have had a kidney stone exactly once in my life, can confirm I was squirming in my chair, could not get comfortable. Aside from that and the pain I also felt very cold, it was weird.
I needed Dr Mike today. Heading into work at the hospital laboratory. Now I have a smile on my face, the promise of a new day and a ‘protein drink’ in hand. 😬
8:14 Maaaan I used to get kidney stones all the time. Super tiny ones so nothing super serious but HOLY HELL they would knock me out of commission for hours until they passed. Fetal position and everything, could never get comfortable, writhing in pain the entire time almost to the point of tears. I almost exclusively drink water now, so I never get them anymore, but man that was a rough time lol.
Im always surprised at the size of nerves. You'd think they would be incredibly small, microscopic even. But no. We straight up just have wires running through us.
I’m gonna have an aneurysm. No one, not Mike, not the comments noticed that the mayo clinic meme was literally from an AI art sub, it is so obvious from the sub name even if you couldn’t tell visually.
When you get to the part of the video where it talks about smelling weird stuff means you're about to have a seizure. Then you think of all the times you felt strange/bad and were smelling something that wasn't there. Makes me wonder if I've been having them for years now and not been having weird "panic attacks" like my doc said it was.. 😰
I love doggy Bear. I had a dog named Bear in my younger years she was some sort of mixed terrier. Now I have a full-blooded Chihuahua who is 14 years old, but sometimes he doesn’t act his age.
Yayyy!!!! i just had a really horrid day of just doing biotechnology and this is what i need before i start studying again!!! Thank you, Dr Mike and team for making my day ❤ stay happy and healthy!
I just got back from school after my chem test an hour and a half ago. It went good so I'm gonna celebrate and your video is like a perfect cherry on the top of a cake . By the way congrats on 12 million subs 💗
I was a medical assistant doing my externship in the early 1980 & the doctor was really mean and told me to go into the exam room and listen to the patient's heart. I tried and could not. I went out of the room and was dejected. We went back into the room; the doctor and patient laughed! The patient had dextrocardia and they did that to every new employee. I will NEVER forget that....
Yes, he can. Anyone can actually call themselves a doctor. The illegal part is taking money from people for treatment without extensive formal medical education.
*ahem* he was actually in danger of having it revoked by the board after a lawsuit he faced in 2006 and later for trying to get Britney Spears to agree to go on the show by visiting her in hospital. It wasn't really a choice by him, the writing was on the wall.
@@deepuyangala464 the first part was he accused parents of actually adbucting their missing kid, and chopped together the footage they took on the show to basically make it look like they confessed. The Spear's lawsuit I think was by her parents, since she would been under conservatorship at the time
As a sufferer of chronic genetic kidney stones, the desire to move is almost unconscious. The phases of having a large kidney stone: You wake up with STABBING pain in your abdomen, on one or both sides. You go to the ER. You have to wait for the X-ray or CT scan before they will give you pain medication, so you sit there in excruciating pain for the hour or more that it takes the radiologist to look at the massive stone in your kidney (wow, doc that must have been SO HARD to figure out). You FINALLY get a pain shot (morphine, tramadol, Toradol, and probably an antinausea medication, too). You get sent home in a semi-comatose state, not really remembering who you are or what's happened to you. The next day, when the pain meds wear off, you take one of the pain pills they gave you. It doesn't work NEARLY as well as the shots in the ER. You try to wait until it's time for a second one. You can't. You go in the bathroom, thinking you will vomit from the pain. You get up and take a second pain pill even though it's not QUITE time to have a second one. It doesn't kick in fast enough and you go back into the bathroom. You are now only semi-conscious. The world blurs around you. You are on all fours, near the toilet in the bathroom, just leaning forward and backwards, not actually moving in any other way than leaning. This is usually when your family member gets you off the floor and drags you back to the ER. You become unconscious on the way there. You are scheduled for surgery to remove and and given more injections. Now that you have a high level of your prescription pain meds in your body, you maintain it, mostly in that same hazy blur of coma, until the surgery date. Repeat. The moments when you are high enough on pain meds that you aren't mentally there at all, but still in so much pain that you are in that moving but not moving pattern is the WORST.
I think Bear made it pretty clear he doesn't want a brother or sister. And come one! That's a lot of Bear! There's no humanly possible way you can give him enough care and love!
7:13 with the drawing of Mike photoshopped onto the picture sent me into a laughing frenzy more than the rest of the memes. Also yes you should get another friend for Bear.
Dextrocardia is cool. I have it for all of my organs and it’s always fun seeing the doctor’s reaction since it’s just normal to me and I forget to bring it up.
Interestingly, my heart is in the wrong place, but not on the opposite side. It's simply pushed left a little further than it should be because of my concave chest. Because of this, I've never had an accurate EKG.
A nurse I know once told me about an incorrectly set IV drip that was pushing tiny air bubbles into a man's body, she was alerted to it when she gently placed her hand on his arm to wake him and felt something 'crinkle'. Air in the veins is bad, but not automatically deadly.
Yeah, they call it 'Rice Krispies' skin because of the crackle sound when you press on the skin. I had this after I had to be intubated at the hospital once. I remember they brought around some student doctors so they could learn about it. The medical term is subcutaneous emphysema.
Wow, that must have been a lot of air. I get an IV infusion once a month, and often see a few little bubbles in the line. It doesn't cause any problems or have a noticeable effect at all, if it's just a little air.
@@TheAussieLeo Thanks. ❤ I have a port* now, so at least it's a quick, easy stick (even though it's a bigger needle) so it usually goes smoothly & isn't too bad. * a port catheter (aka port-a-cath) is a small device with a 'self-healing' surface (so it remains sealed even after being punctured with a needle). This little chamber is surgically placed just below the skin & has a tube that connects to a vein. It provides a reliable place for an IV to be put in & is useful for people with difficult veins, or if the normal access points have become too scarred.
Bear said “dad, I’m the only baby” 😂. But I think he needs a friend!

That's interesting, the term funny bone seems to come from the fact that hitting it makes your arm feel funny (weird) and/or that the actual name is humerus - which sounds like humorous.
@@mickimicki Depending on your anatomy, keeping your arm bent for long periods can lead to compression of the ulnar nerve and a conditon called cubital tunnel syndrome (similar to carpal tunnel just a different nerve). A lot of instruments require you keep your arm bent while playing, so your teacher may well have been right.
I always thought it was cause it makes you scream 'sing'.
Love your legacy dr Mike, always asking the right questions on the podcast and sharing the science and facts, your work doesn’t go unnoticed! So much love!
On the "Mr Pepper", if he was in the UK or Australia, that would be a promotion to surgeon
1:13 "How dangerous is a slingshot?"
Ever hear of David & Goliath?
"Yeah let's just say a random name that has nothing to do with this wow I'm so cool wow wow woooooooooooooooooooow"
@@Nsodnoajdjksl How is it "random" or have "nothing to do with this"?
David & Goliath is a well known story, where David kills Goliath with one stone from a slingshot, which hit Goliath in the forehead.
The story is so familiar for most people that it's a common phrase for an underdog situation.
@@miriamrobarts Look, the video is so unrelated to whatever you said, so please quit saying random names.
@@Nsodnoajdjksl Did you see the timestamp & quote at the beginning of my original comment?
@@miriamrobarts yes and it's completely unrelated to it
You were gonna get us a kitty cat. I have NOT forgotten.
Only if Bear is good with cats.
This breach of trust will not stand! You and me... pitchforks and torches at dawn!
But as we learned in this video, cats are homicidal terrors while dogs are big, loving floofs 😁
Bear hitting Dr. Mike asking for a treat sent me! 🤣🤣
Mr. Varshavski, at 4:15 it's AI, nobody would waste that much money.
Fun bit of trivia: Dr Pepper was named after a doctor. The inventor was trying to woo a girl and named the soda after her father, a physician, in order to get into their good graces. I have no idea if this worked. It's sweet if it worked, but it's way funnier if it didn't.
I'd be so insulted if someone named a disgusting soda after me
I'm so grateful for anatomy and physiology lectures. I finally understand your comments and more memes!
The fact that he said Mayo Clinic BEFORE figuring out the pun had me in stitches!!!
Dr Mike getting triggered about a Mayo clinic meme was not on my 2024 bingo
When I was a kid I could never think of anything but mayonnaise when I hear the mayo clinic haha. It's clearly AI but DR mike seems to think that someone spray foamed the area 😂
@@tinntinnamp OMG no same i thought i was the only one thinking of mayonnaise lmaoo
I squealed internally at the Twilight reference. . .so good, so smooth!
3:34 wait… your name is Mike Varshavsky?! Oh man, if I worked for you, I’d dress like a monster every single day and greet you “MIKE VARSHAVSKY!”
Oh nooooooo
You mean instead of Mike Wazowski from Monsters, Inc? lol
@@danielleking262 lol, I mean, it *is* dangerously close. I would also pester him with his paperwork.. “I’m aaalways watching…”
I knew a Mike Syslowski once
3:13 why am I just now learning about this!? My doctors never told me about this when I had seizures. They’d just ask what I felt before I had one, but wouldn’t really give me anything to start off with so I’d go, “I don’t know…”
Now looking at this I know that it was strong emotions/fear.
That would’ve been useful to know a few years back….
I have epilepsy as well. Right before I have seizure, I feel strong sense of impending doom. I also have a feeling that all of the lights in the room just got a thousand times brighter. I sometimes get a feeling of Déjà Vu. It’s called an aura.
@@Kenzalina_ yeah I know the feeling but I could never describe it. They told me that whenever I felt this feeling to tell someone and sit down but like they don’t quite understand how overwhelming the strong emotion of fear and deja vu can be it become near impossible to talk. I don’t have seizures anymore, but it might’ve helped me a bit to know this before. Might have saved me from a few of my injuries.
@@naynay2217 Glad you are no longer having seizures. It is such a strange feeling and hard to communicate when you are talking to someone who doesn’t know the feeling. My auras happen too quickly for me to communicate what I am feeling. People who know me well, are good at recognizing the look that I get right before a seizure. I do try to lay down when I get them. I hope for your sake you never have that experience again. It’s almost like Mitch McConnell’s freezing episodes, right before I have one. I fully understand, why you had trouble communicating that you were getting auras before your seizures. Stay well my friend.
@@Kenzalina_ My dad had a couple of seizures which turned out to be caused by a brain abscess. Since then he's taken medication for epilepsy and hasn't had a seizure, but he has said that he has felt the same feeling he had before the seizures on multiple occasions (I don't know exactly what he experiences - I think the whole experience is something he doesn't want to talk about a lot). It's good to know that other people have similar symptoms.
@@kaspianepps7946 I am so sorry to hear that. The medications can work wonders and I am happy your Dad is doing well. I can’t tell you how common it is for people with epilepsy to feel embarrassed or not like talking about their seizures. It is completely understandable given that we have no idea what we look like, when we have seizures. Especially when it happens in public. This is why it’s incredibly important to share our experiences so other people know they aren’t alone.
3:00 Crazy story: One night shortly after I started transcranial magnetic stimulation, I was in bed with a headache and struggling to get to bed when I suddenly smelled burnt toast. I went to the kitchen to check that I wasn't experiencing something serious, and it turned out that someone else in the household was literally cooking eggs and toast in a pan on the oven in the middle of the night and ended up burning it. It was a relief, but talk about a weird coincidence...
I just wanted to say that since discovering your videos a couple years ago I have learnt so much, and I would really like to be a doctor now. You are a huge inspiration to me so thank you so much :)
Should I get a second Bear? WHY ARE YOU ASKING ITS YES, YES GET A SECOND 🐻. Newf floof!!!
I 100% agree! He should name it Baby Bear.
I’m still waiting for the cat 😂
@@Kenzalina_Booboo... because Yogi's the adult and Booboo is the baby bear 😁
@@KBRoller Boo-boo would be the perfect name! I completely agree with you!
WHAT SHE SAID!!
7:20 i once hit my little toe on the edge of a vacuum, that was the most pain I had ever felt from hitting my toe. It actually turned purple, and the slightest pressure felt like something was hitting it full force. I don't know if it broke since I didn't go to the doctor, but it did hurt for a while and made walking kind of difficult
Damn, never been this fast before. Didn't even have notifications on, I just happened to be here 😂

How?? 😂
I have had a kidney stone exactly once in my life, can confirm I was squirming in my chair, could not get comfortable. Aside from that and the pain I also felt very cold, it was weird.
Hey Doctor Mike
Just wanted to say thank you
You are genuinely so kind and your videos are always so helpful and funny
I needed Dr Mike today. Heading into work at the hospital laboratory. Now I have a smile on my face, the promise of a new day and a ‘protein drink’ in hand. 😬
Why is protein drink in quotes? WHAT WAS IN YOUR DRINK
ETA: didn't realize you were referencing something in the video and I was horrified lol
@@mandie492 😂😂😂
hopefully vegan one, you don't wanna slave away at work while causing the opposite to yourself and the victims and planet and all of us on her (:
@@Cassxowary I’m good Cass. Thanks for the concern. Made a medium rare T-bone 🥩. I want to hear the cow “moo” when I eat. 😂

Look at the letters and the people closely.
Also the fact that it was crossposted from the "weird dall-e" sub...
"Comfortable sir?" took me a second.
Yeah I was like...huh?
Come for table? No come for food
If you smell burning rubber get out the way, there may be a car coming toward you.
8:14 Maaaan I used to get kidney stones all the time. Super tiny ones so nothing super serious but HOLY HELL they would knock me out of commission for hours until they passed. Fetal position and everything, could never get comfortable, writhing in pain the entire time almost to the point of tears. I almost exclusively drink water now, so I never get them anymore, but man that was a rough time lol.
dang I feel bad
As someone who loves light hearted information based channels, you're a blessing
4:20 Mike, that’s an AI generated picture… calm down.
Ik lol 😭😭

Mike is getting younger and younger by reacting to medical memes😂😂 Love ur content Mike
"My blood is now in that hotel room,

Go get it. "
Im always surprised at the size of nerves. You'd think they would be incredibly small, microscopic even. But no. We straight up just have wires running through us.
I love how the AI trash one was the only one to get the rage out of Mike.
6:25 I've been told the same at work. We want to listen to all of your VALVES sir LOL.
3:46 To be fair Dr Pepper could have a PHD in soda studies, we don’t know
3:43 I PAUSED AT THE PERFECT TIME BRO
Lol
MayoClinic meme is definitely AI. 😂
For real🤣🤣 some of the doctors in the image didn't have faces
yeah i could tell cuz mayo doesnt drip down at all lol
I’m gonna have an aneurysm. No one, not Mike, not the comments noticed that the mayo clinic meme was literally from an AI art sub, it is so obvious from the sub name even if you couldn’t tell visually.
And that's why it was not only not funny, but poorly illustrated.
When you get to the part of the video where it talks about smelling weird stuff means you're about to have a seizure.
Then you think of all the times you felt strange/bad and were smelling something that wasn't there.
Makes me wonder if I've been having them for years now and not been having weird "panic attacks" like my doc said it was.. 😰
I love doggy Bear. I had a dog named Bear in my younger years she was some sort of mixed terrier. Now I have a full-blooded Chihuahua who is 14 years old, but sometimes he doesn’t act his age.
Yayyy!!!! i just had a really horrid day of just doing biotechnology and this is what i need before i start studying again!!! Thank you, Dr Mike and team for making my day ❤ stay happy and healthy!
4:24 ITS AI MIKE
this video is so chaotic and i love it
I just got back from school after my chem test an hour and a half ago. It went good so I'm gonna celebrate and your video is like a perfect cherry on the top of a cake . By the way congrats on 12 million subs 💗
I was a medical assistant doing my externship in the early 1980 & the doctor was really mean and told me to go into the exam room and listen to the patient's heart. I tried and could not. I went out of the room and was dejected. We went back into the room; the doctor and patient laughed! The patient had dextrocardia and they did that to every new employee. I will NEVER forget that....
Speaking of mis information. Can Dr Phil really call himself a doctor if he hasnt renewed his license for almost over 20 years?
Yes, he can.
Anyone can actually call themselves a doctor. The illegal part is taking money from people for treatment without extensive formal medical education.
*ahem* he was actually in danger of having it revoked by the board after a lawsuit he faced in 2006 and later for trying to get Britney Spears to agree to go on the show by visiting her in hospital.
It wasn't really a choice by him, the writing was on the wall.
He's a psycho child predator that's about it
@@smalltime0so, lawsuit was by Britney?
@@deepuyangala464 the first part was he accused parents of actually adbucting their missing kid, and chopped together the footage they took on the show to basically make it look like they confessed. The Spear's lawsuit I think was by her parents, since she would been under conservatorship at the time
I always love your meme reviews! Definitely get Bear a sister/brother, and definitely go on tour again!!! You’re amazing!
As a sufferer of chronic genetic kidney stones, the desire to move is almost unconscious. The phases of having a large kidney stone: You wake up with STABBING pain in your abdomen, on one or both sides. You go to the ER. You have to wait for the X-ray or CT scan before they will give you pain medication, so you sit there in excruciating pain for the hour or more that it takes the radiologist to look at the massive stone in your kidney (wow, doc that must have been SO HARD to figure out). You FINALLY get a pain shot (morphine, tramadol, Toradol, and probably an antinausea medication, too). You get sent home in a semi-comatose state, not really remembering who you are or what's happened to you. The next day, when the pain meds wear off, you take one of the pain pills they gave you. It doesn't work NEARLY as well as the shots in the ER. You try to wait until it's time for a second one. You can't. You go in the bathroom, thinking you will vomit from the pain. You get up and take a second pain pill even though it's not QUITE time to have a second one. It doesn't kick in fast enough and you go back into the bathroom. You are now only semi-conscious. The world blurs around you. You are on all fours, near the toilet in the bathroom, just leaning forward and backwards, not actually moving in any other way than leaning. This is usually when your family member gets you off the floor and drags you back to the ER. You become unconscious on the way there. You are scheduled for surgery to remove and and given more injections. Now that you have a high level of your prescription pain meds in your body, you maintain it, mostly in that same hazy blur of coma, until the surgery date. Repeat. The moments when you are high enough on pain meds that you aren't mentally there at all, but still in so much pain that you are in that moving but not moving pattern is the WORST.
Aww get a rescue Dr. Mike, and make you, Bear and that new addition to your family happy :)
100%
Happy to see Dr. Mike almost always getting the joke first time with the help of the team! These videos always make me laugh, thanks! 😂
Get Bear a friend and please film everything it would be so adorable 🥰🥰
3:52 at first glace, Mayonnaise didn't come to my mind.........
I love watching your videos I learn so much from you dr Mike
I've had problems with kidney stones. My doctor has recommended orange juice twice a day for the citric acid. I'm glad this video backs that up!
I think Bear made it pretty clear he doesn't want a brother or sister. And come one! That's a lot of Bear! There's no humanly possible way you can give him enough care and love!
7:13 with the drawing of Mike photoshopped onto the picture sent me into a laughing frenzy more than the rest of the memes. Also yes you should get another friend for Bear.
Dextrocardia is cool. I have it for all of my organs and it’s always fun seeing the doctor’s reaction since it’s just normal to me and I forget to bring it up.
7:24 I FEEL THAT DESCRIPTION IN MY SPINE!!

Interestingly, my heart is in the wrong place, but not on the opposite side. It's simply pushed left a little further than it should be because of my concave chest. Because of this, I've never had an accurate EKG.
Yes to getting another Newfie!! I've had so many people want one after meeting mine. They are the best!
A nurse I know once told me about an incorrectly set IV drip that was pushing tiny air bubbles into a man's body, she was alerted to it when she gently placed her hand on his arm to wake him and felt something 'crinkle'. Air in the veins is bad, but not automatically deadly.
Yeah, they call it 'Rice Krispies' skin because of the crackle sound when you press on the skin. I had this after I had to be intubated at the hospital once. I remember they brought around some student doctors so they could learn about it. The medical term is subcutaneous emphysema.
Wow, that must have been a lot of air. I get an IV infusion once a month, and often see a few little bubbles in the line. It doesn't cause any problems or have a noticeable effect at all, if it's just a little air.
@@miriamrobarts I wish you good health, regular IV's are a pain, literally and figuratively.
That's why you can have one. As a treat
@@TheAussieLeo Thanks. ❤ I have a port* now, so at least it's a quick, easy stick (even though it's a bigger needle) so it usually goes smoothly & isn't too bad.
* a port catheter (aka port-a-cath) is a small device with a 'self-healing' surface (so it remains sealed even after being punctured with a needle). This little chamber is surgically placed just below the skin & has a tube that connects to a vein. It provides a reliable place for an IV to be put in & is useful for people with difficult veins, or if the normal access points have become too scarred.
