I love that he has such a wholesome, innocent quality to him and then reminds you of how boss he is by spitting wisdom like "a vagina smells like a vagina, it's not supposed to smell like peaches"
@@hippiepisces9745 I've also seen some things and aside from garlic or asparagus (or a few other pungent foods that can stay in your fluids or blood stream for a while) it's very hard to do the opposite, I think if you avoid the pungent stuff consciously you can get a milder softer taste for sure, some vaginas also naturally smell/taste like pineapple or raw honey regardless of if you ate any lol.. also beware of eating only fruit in hopes you taste good for a date because lots of sugar will make your ph more acidic.. ALSO, your vagina will taste different throughout your cycle, ovulation week is very mild in taste whereas PMS week is more acidic. You'd have to take all of that into consideration and maybe have a twin sister as a control to be sure your special diet tricks actually work haha!
@@hippiepisces9745 yeah and those stupid things you should never put near your vagina! The vagina cleans it self through vaginal discharge. If your vagina "smells" bad its most commonly sweat mixed with perfumes. Perfume barely masks sweat and makes sweat smell worse. Thereby you should only wash your clothes with unperfumed detergents and softeners etc. And underwear should be washed at minimum 60°C for hygiene reasons. It equals to every body part that sweat. The thing that cause sweat to smell is bacteria reacting to oxygen if I remember it correctly. Secondly, any lotion, v-douche, soap or deodorant "for the vagina" should NEVER BE USED. You'll disrupt the pH-level (normal is 3,5-4 unlike the skin who is 4-5) and mostly you'll kill all the good bacteria in there! The good bacteria is important for a healthy vagina. BUT if your vagina smells fishy or like vinegar and the discharge is strong yellow/ egg white with bits like cottage cheese or slightly green/grey color - - - you should see a gynaecologist asap! It's signs of bacterial or fungus infection, but could also be a UTI or worst case a STD/STI. 😅 Or even some cases symptoms of pregnancy. Or a sideeffect of birthcontrols like everything with "hormones" in it.
I love Dr Glaucomflecken. Hearing about how his wife saved his life when he went into cardiac arrest inspired me to update my knowledge of CPR and what to do in a cardiac emergency. She's a freaking hero to have kept up effective chest compressions for as long as she did. My partner had a massive heart attack in March, and it helps me feel less helpless to at least know that I'd be able to do my best to give him assistance if, god forbid, he ever had another cardiac event.
If you mean the funniest and most enjoyable for the general public yeah, he's doing a really good job spreading useful health tips and debunking some dangerous misinformation from social media. But the scientific content is kinda slim (has to be this way I guess, considering his target audience) and there are plenty other colleagues posting great medical videos on TH-cam, so Mike's not #1 for me but he's definitely in the top 5.
9:57 He's actually making a really good recovery! The rod and pins are actually out of his neck at this point, and I've been following his journey the whole time!
My little sister was recently diagnosed with hypermobility, all her life she’s dealt with joint pain, dislocations, and other issues because of it all her life. It’s cool what she can do, but it still causes her so many problems.
Yeah, hypermobility is a fun party truck until you can't walk. I have slight hypermobility in my hands and I can do fun things like "getting festival wristbands off without cutting them" and "reaching the last pringles in the tube" but I can't do things like "write for 30 minutes without pain".
There have to be some artists in this little community of ours, I foresee a line of Dr Mike stickers, including: - Dr Mike caricature - Chest compressions - Pee-woop - DOCTOR BEAR!!!! - Stay Happy and Healthy Though if he isn’t careful, his adult patients would steal them all before any kids got one.
So glad you pointed out how hyper mobility, while sometimes not a problem, is usually a disorder and not a super power. If any of you are hyper mobile, let your doctor know.
@@shwungus. I have it too. A common side effect, which I have, is that local anaesthetics are not very effective on me at all, so it's important for doctors to know in case of things like that. It's always possible the doctor will know something about the condition that will turn out to be relevant to you later on.
@@shwungus. Biomedical engineer here: flexibility comes at the cost of stability. Think of a wet noodle vs a dry noodle - the wet noodle is much more flexible but deforms with very little applied force. Translating that back to bodies, a hyperflexible joint is more likely to hyperextend or dislocate in response to an applied load (from exercise, a fall, whatever) as it can't resist the forces. This is a large part of why it's important to build strength in the joint. Hyperextension of any joint can bypass all the evolutionary safeguards to give the body fun new ways to break. We've all seen the videos of someone having their knees bent backwards by an overloaded leg press -- hyperextended joint + overload weight = catastrophic failure of the joint. Under normal circumstances, joints have a variety of tendons and ligaments that restrict motion to normal ranges. If a hyperflexible individual exceeds the normal limits (by practice or by birth condition) they lose the protections of those tissues, so it takes a lot less to cause injury. Think about a chain lock on a door: when it's secured properly it can prevent undesired movement of the door; if the anchor-point is not secured (mobile or "flexible" in some way) then it can't do its job and the potentially hazardous motion can occur uninhibited. (In the case of people with extra-stretchy ligaments, imagine the chain being made of a deflated balloon instead. The metaphor would vary depending on condition, joint, exact ligament, relative position...but I digress) Do let me stress though that FLEXIBILITY IS GOOD. Stretching is scientifically proven to be one of the best things you can do for your body. But the exercises that build flexibility often build up some strength as well and should be accompanied by other fitness activities to really firm up the region. It's all about hitting that balance between "bodybuilder who can't scratch his back" and "tiktok girl that'll tear every ligament in her knee/hip if she falls the wrong way".
@@shwungus. it's best for you to do certain exercises to strenghten the muscles which stabilise the joints so they don't get damage or pop out of plclace
wow.. you’re the first TH-cam doctor to point out that hypermobility can cause problems in the future and how important it is for your doctor to know about and explain it to their patients. Thank you! ♡
Yep I was born with hypermobility, plus I grew up doing dance and gymnastics, then from the age of 15 I was diagnosed with chronic pain caused by my hypermobility and now at almost 18 I’m still constantly in pain whether it’s standing, sitting, laying down, etc.
HELLO!! I have asthma and since I searched up "doctor" To see if I can find out what can help me since I was in the hospital last year with RSV, you popped up and I have been watching you for a while. (I am not an adult yet, I'm practically a tween) and made my choice of working in the medical centers when I grow up. Really just a pediatric psychologist. And I know for sure that when I get a patient with questions but doesn't want to learn the boring way AND can stay at home learning, I will mention this channel! From, a viewer
“Did you know that removing caffeine from your diet can help you lose...” *Dr. Mike: Please be accurate! Please be accurate!* “...Over sixty percent of your will to live.” I don’t see anything wrong here. That’s completely accurate.
@@pineddew Well that's is true brother when you drink coffee, tea,alcohol and other drinks like that you are actually giving yourself a high dose of dopamine which is a pleasure hormone aka mood simulator. Let's take a example. Person A never had any alcoholic or caffeinated drinks. So his threshold for initiating the dopamine release very low even a low quality joke will make him laugh daily activities will keep him happy because dopamine is releasing constantly. Secondly we have person B he drinks caffeinated drinks and a little bit of alcohol every now and then. For him dopamine is only released when he drink these drinks. His daily work and activities won't give him any pleasure because dopamine is not released when he is performing them because his threshold is extremely high. So if he suddenly stop drinking them he won't be happy, like never be no excitement in life no motivation for living his life.
@@kartikchauhan143 Yeah, um, that's not how it works. Caffeine is a stimulant. It literally suppresses the feeling of tiredness. This is why people "wake up" after having a cup of coffee. Release of dopamine when you consume a drug is a symptom of addiction, but caffeine itself doesn't cause a release of dopamine. Person 2 might be addicted to caffeine, but nothing else you've said about dopamine has any truth or relevance, and it's extraordinarily unlikely to be the only way the brain will release dopamine(That would be a legitimate disorder.)
I'm a single mom & have multiple immune disorders so my son was in the doctor's office with me a lot not to mention for his own well child visits, dentist & eye doctor. He started not wanting any of the things I'd bring for his entertainment but wanted to read all the medical pamphlets (obviously I'd screen). He went with me for my twice a yr EKG & was reading a random pamphlet which the tech thought was interesting so started chatting with him & my son told him he wanted to be a doctor. He was 4 at the time so the tech is raving that it's so cool that he wants to be a doctor so my son tells him "doctors get all the stickers they want"
As someone who also has multiple autoimmune disorders and diseases I relate to this so much. My son, however, was bored and an9yed with the whole thing. He also knew what he wanted to be at that age. An engineer... mostly to make teleportation portals haha. I think having to take the bus for so long was what did him in haha.
I love how excited he gets about random medical tidbits. Also, wood splitters are nothing compared to fiberglass splitters. And you can’t even see the fiberglass to get it out so you just have to deal with it until it decides to come out.
Different material but one time I was helping rake a softball field and the rake was broken in half but I didn’t think much about it until one of the shards was shoved into my hand and it hurt so bad
that's if it comes out and doesn't just get buried deep inside covered in hard protective tissue. A big fibreglass splinter can leave more shards inside too?
Seeing that little girl so happy about the doctor made me smile. When I was a child, probably younger than 5, I was scared to get a vaccine, and my father pretended he was going to hug me to make me feel better, and instead pinned me down and they gave me the injection. That is one of my earliest, clearest memories, like it was yesterday, and it lead to a trauma in relation to needless that stopped (and stops) me from getting vaccines and IV. I would probably need to be sedated to receive an IV. It's nice to see that her early memories of doctors will be different from mine, I think thats such an important thing to facilitate with kids, so that during their life they feel safe and comfortable around them.
i don't know what may have started my fear of needles- i'm not scared at all of sewing needles and can even poke myself with one, or use the granny-method to remove splinters if need be, but if someone's gonna put a syringe in me, i gotta hyperventilate to make my head feel lighter and less focused, or i'm afraid i might pull away or smack the nurse ._.'
My Sister had a bad experience (getting pinned down) now she doesn’t like doctors, well at least a lot less then she used to and doesn’t really trust them, specially dentists.
Just imagine talking to this guy for hours and hours and all you talk about are facts and trivia and things he learned all those years of being a family medicine doctor! I will never be bored.
True. Medicine is so difficult to study yet he makes it sounds easy because he explains everything in a way even a child could understand. And he has great sense of humor. I like talking to smart people who can make jokes and be funny too. I never get bored while watching his videos
On note of the doctor saved by his wife: my grandma actually saved her husband twice when he had a heartattak with chest compressions until the medics arrived. Sadly the third time even that could not save him and he died some time later in hospital. She also raised me after getting basically handled a premature born baby at 67 so I think shes a Rockstar for sure ❤️
Man, your grandma is the OG! Doing chest compressions can be quite painful until the ambulance arrives, and delivering a baby ain't no joke either! She's a god! 👏🏻
By the way, Dr Glaucomflecken's (that doc from 11:41) wife did not just do chest compressions, she did chest compressions FOR 10 MINUTES NON-STOP (usually people get switched after 2 minutes)... She's a champ 👏 Thanks for sending him a merch shirt 🥺
My dad saved my mom's life by doing chest compressions. He was just following directions from the 911 operator, he had never taken a course of how to do it properly, etc. Took 11 minutes from start of the call before they arrived in the house. She's alive and well with an internal pacemaker 3 years later :)
As a doctor, there are so many interesting medical conditions I don't get to see day-to-day! I love how TH-cam and TikTok can be such great educational tools! Thanks Dr Mike!!
Hey Doc, Merry Christmas! ❤️💚❤️ There’s a weird thing I can do with my body that I always thought was normal, but nobody I’ve asked has said they can do it too. At will, I can kind of… contract the muscles near the top of my nose, pinch my sinuses closed and completely block nasal airflow, just as effectively as the stuffiest of blocked noses will, it even feels the same. As an autistic woman with an overly sensitive sense of smell (and an overly active gag reflex) it’s a true _godsend_ for blocking out the stinkier situations of life, and if I were a medical nerd like you instead of the computer nerd I am, I think this’d made me a _fantastic_ pathologist. I literally thought _everyone_ could do that until recently learning not only is that not the case, but nobody in my social circle can do it either. Is this an ability you have, or know of anyone else having, or do I _finally_ have my long overdue, _well_ earnt X-Men mutant superpower? Apart from AIS that is, the ability to be a woman with XY chromosomes who’s mostly immune to testosterone is already _pretty_ neat 😁 woo Intersex Posse represent! 🖖 (There’s no way my gang sign _wouldn’t_ be the Vulcan Salute, it’s the most logical choice.)
@@DissociatedWomenIncorporated Hey! What I think is going on here is that you're lifting up your soft palate to block off your nostrils! In fact, your nostrils go backwards then down. (If nostrils went up, they'd go straight into the brain!) If you feel the roof of your mouth, you can feel the hard palate at the front and the soft palate at the back. Contracting the muscles of the soft palate has a similar effect to what you've described. I don't think it's necessarily related to AIS - although I appreciate that certain hormone insensitivities like Kallmann syndrome do present with impaired sense of smell. I hope that helps, all the best!
The splinter story resonated with me. One time I was dancing across the floor in my new apartment and I stepped, hard, on a pin that was on the floor and it went into my foot, hit the bone and bent on the bone but kept going in. I started laughing, because it hurt but I felt really dumb for the way it happened. My boyfriend was freaking out as, with tears in my eyes I had to figure out a way to manouver the pin out of my foot. So painful lol
my similar story: in school we had these wooden benches where me and my friends would play, i run my hands across the bench and a giant splinter got stuck under my nailbed, all the way to my cuticle, hurt like sheit and the nurse had to remove my fingernail to get it out
I slipped on a banana peel leaving study hall in high school. I still can't believe it happened. I fell like a cartoon. I hurt myself but refused to sit there and wait for help.
Look up red locust tree thorns and you'll never want to take your shoes off again. Not only are they 3-5 inches long, they also have micro barbs and a toxin that makes them more painful. I know someone who stepped on one and it had to be pulled from the top of his foot because if you try to pull it the other way it'll break and leave bits inside a cause an infection. They also go through the soles of your shoes and have to be removed with pliers or they'll work their way all the way to your foot.
Chest compressions saved the lives of two of my friends on different occasions! I had two friends that I was close to and we all got into drugs. We ended up becoming addicted to Fentanyl (though at the time, we were tricked into thinking it was just prescription oxycodone or percocet). Unfortunately both of those friends overdosed at some point. We all used drugs together frequently because it's safer, so thankfully I was there for both of their overdoses. In both cases, I immediately called 911 and started chest compressions. The whole time, "chest compressions, chest compressions, chest compressions" was going through my head. I remembered everything Dr. Mike said about the rhythm and depth of the compressions.
i have a fear of needles, so when i was a younger i hated going to the doctor (not saying it’s the most fun now) but i balled my eyes out until i was like 13 or something. they did everything right it’s just im so scared of needles and i basically had to get a shot that i would just cryyy
I really like this man's attitude. I've turned 60 recently and it has been accompanied by a long list of maladies that require daily medications. It gets depressing to have gone from an athletic, healthy adult in to an old man who shuffles around like Mr. Magoo in less than a decade. Doctor Mike is inspiring me to take better care.
As someone with Ehlers-Danlos Syndrome, I'm really glad to see you highlighting the issues with extreme flexibility. These people clearly haven't had the right medical advice. Hypermobile people should NEVER push on or actively manipulate hypermobile joints. It's extremely dangerous and will cause more weakness over time. Funny when you're young, fatal when you're old!
I've always been hypermobile and able to jump rope with my arms without letting go and do all 3 splits without ever getting up ... as an adult, I am more careful with my body. It's not fun to ache. I haven't been diagnosed, but I think it's highly likely.
agreed, i have hyper flexibility in my ankles/legs resulting in turning my foot backwards, both feet but not at the same time. i also have feet that roll in, which is causing pain a lot.
@@yagamil46I have HEDS too. The turning in of the ankles and pain was the first symptom for me. It sucks. The only thing that helped my ankles was two years of ballet strengthening. My knees and elbows bend backwards too!
Hey Dr mike, i have currently caught a cold and i feel like i have a really bad fever, bu i have checked my fever and i never have one, but your videos have really cheered me up!! Keep up the good work!!
I love the little girl who enjoyed her visit to the Dr. My niece is like this. She's obsessed with Dr visits and the medical field. We asked her what gifts we should bring her when we see her next and the only thing she requested was a set of real medical tools (stethoscope, otoscope, and sphygmomanometer). I think it depends a lot on how parents and medical providers approach children's medical visits.
Your niece sounds a lot like how I was as a kid, I can't even count the amount of times I've asked for and recieved a set of medical tools. That and books were the only two things I've ever asked for since I was a child lmao. We have had 2 pediatricians, the first one was when I was about 3-5 years old, he was an old man who I did not like one bit. He made me hate medicine. Then there came the second one and this doc was so nice and had such a comforting aura I wanted to be exactly like him when i grew up. Thanks to my second pediatrician, I developed a pretty strong love for medicine and got into med school relatively easily!
Yeah my 4 year old hates the Dr. Even just getting weighed and measured. They don't really do anything extra to let him get used to the situation or the people. He did soooooo good at the dentist, though, so I'm like, determined to protect his view of the dentist at all costs.
Was 100% cringing over the girl with severe hypermobility. Do NOT do that even if you can- it can lead to ligament damage and consequently, surgery. My knees and hips are also hypermobile but it reached a point where my MPFL’s in both knees had to be replaced because they were stretched too far.
So I have shallow knee joints which allows both of my knee caps to leave the socket at random. (UNGODLY PAINFUL!!!) (I DO NOT WISH IT UPON MY WORST ENEMY!!) But anyways since my shallow joints allow that I have and this is a quote verbatim. "Obliterated both of my MPFLS!!" Like the doctor told me that and then told me he's never seen anything like it that did not happen due to a horrific accident. So I feel your pain and thank God I found this comment before her part of the video!! Thank you
As a chronically ill disabled woman, I’m always grateful to hear someone’s pursuing a career in medicine. Thank you, good luck, Live Long and Prosper 🖖 and… Merry Christmas ❤️💚❤️💚❤️💚❤️💚❤️💚❤️💚❤️
IM SO GLAD I SAW THIS! DOCTOR! I went through the training to be a caregiver and we were told that chest compression was the FIRST thing you do. I said no, no you need to see if the heart is still beating. They even had a scenarios that you walk into a room and a child is unconscious on the floor and chest compression came first. I’m 60 and have been through quite a few Red Cross CPR courses and was in an army medical unit for 27 years and I NEVER heard of this. I’m glad you back me up on this.
As an LMT, I had a client once who had two toes that never separated. When I palpated, I could tell that both sets of phalanges were present, so it wasn't as if one toe was missing. There were two distinct toenails as well. I have seen some interesting, unique bodies in my career.
That condition runs in my family, three aunts on my fathers side have half or fully connected toes in the middle and almost everyone else has extended webbing between the fingers and toes
When you go on tour… if you don’t already do this, you should have a questions sections where ppl can text a number on the screen to ask questions that might be embarrassing to ask! This way everyone feels comfortable and can get answers!!
My mothers partner, he was once at our house alone, and he heard a scream from next door. It turns out that the lady who lived next door, her husband was lying almost dead on the floor and my moms partner doing "chest compressions, chest compressions, chest compressions" saved that mans life.
The final voice crack when the stickers were relevant, love it. He doesn’t judge anyone, but explains how the health of someone could improve or even decimate
That child's parent is doing it right. They're engaging her in conversation and paying attention to her speech. I did the same with my kids and they are both very conversational and people frequently compliment their vocabulary. It's not always so cut and dry, but it's good parenting nonetheless. She may however, not have developed the cognitive ability to understand how a doctor helps you. But she's adorable, I love chatty babies and toddlers 🥰
I loved her as well, she is learning the drs office can be a positive experience which mean hopefully she will continue learning why they are so important when she/if she gets sick. Amazing little one My niece is also like that so it makes my heat melt every time x
Right. I've seen you talk about chest compressions on here many times and I'm gonna add my voice to the chorus. I had SIDS now for those unaware SIDS is short for Sudden Infant Death Syndrome, The causes are unknown but generally it presents with a dead child as the first symptom most parents see. My mother was incredibly lucky that when she checked on me and I was not breathing was cold as ice and had no pulse or heartbeat that she started chest compressions and after literal hours when the sun finally rose and my grandmother could drive her to the doctors i was breathing on my own again. Now I had SIDS attacks where my heartrate would slow down then my breathing for two years (I was on a SIDS monitor) and every attack my mother and grandmother would perform chest compressions to get my little heart going again. Now fast forward a year or so I was four and my little friend had a little baby sister and when I noticed her breathing and heartrate had dropped suddenly I began performing CPR and called for help WELL help was a long time coming I had successfully revived her when her mother showed up asking what I thought I was doing I explained she had stopped breathing and I began CPR the mother obviously thought it was fanciful imagination and told my mother as much, My mother corrected her that if I said there was something wrong then there was something wrong. So she took her daughter to the doctor who referred her immediately to a specialist who caught that she had a heart defect and if I had not performed CPR when I did she would have passed away because she needed (a Pacemaker I think if I remember correctly) surgery to correct the problem and the next time she saw me she gave me a big hug and thanked me and told my mother what had happened and of course I in all my autistic four year old glory said Well what else would I have done and went back to playing legos. TLDR CHEST COMPRESSIONS SAVE LIVES LEARN FIRST AID FROM A QUALIFIED PROFFESIONAL BEFORE YOUR CHILD IS CONCEIVED!! LEARN TO SAVE THE LIFE TODAY THAT YOU WILL SAVE TOMORROW.
Maybe a big comment but it’s A amazing what her mother was able to do, ( curiousity question- was there no emergency line she could call to get you help? Or would that have meant leaving to to do that?? I’m amazed she did not tire her self out I’ve done cpr on both a child and adult and it’s exhausting either way…. Adrenaline can work wonders especially when saving your or anyone babies life) And again amazing that you were switched on enough to and learnt enough to be able to save your friend! Chest compressions chest compressions chest compressions as the good dr says! And I 100% agree with your end statement !!!
@@MarneRiver2139 it never occurred to her to call an ambulance she called my grandmother who didn't believe her and told her she would be round in the morning but this was the early 90's SIDS was basically unknown in the wider community. My mom tells me she stayed up monitoring me when I was breathing and chest compressions when i wasn't just praying for the dawn because irrationally (she admits) she just kept thinking if she could make it to day light I would be ok.
To add to what Mike said, changing the PH from your vagina is also a very fast way to get various issues, as the Vagina's micro-organisms contain both fungus and bacteria that, to dumb it down, balance each others out through that PH value. The Fungus overgrowth is known as Yeast. Do not change your vagina's PH value, your sexlife will be as grateful to you as your doctors are.
Thank you! This needs to be talked about a lot more! A strong fishy smell is generally a sign of bacterial vaginosis. Please be aware that having sex can upset your natural ph-levels. The vagina is only on the inside. The outer parts like the lips and clitoris are called the vulva. There is so much misinformation out there. Never put soap up your vagina. Only clean the vulva with water or unscented mild soap.
@@vooshmoozik6185 i know i’m not the person you asked, but i’ve read and heard that they are fine as long as they aren’t scented(scents can cause irritation) and only used on the outside
Many are asking what the tour show will be like. Plan to have a lot of fun as the format will be game show meets improv, meets special guest appearances! There will also be plenty of audience interaction for those who’d like to get on stage. The goal is to have a blast and learn something in the process! www.doctormikelive.com/
I need to know, for the people who eat all the spicy foods... are they more likely to be able to power through pepper spray? Ik there are some people it just doesn't really effect.
I almost screamed with the splinter. I had a similar experience to you though, Dr. Mike. I was in yellowstone and there was a wooden railing on the boardwalk (this was YEARS ago), and as with all railings I was running my hand across it, I wound up with a splinter in my thumb pad. I think it eventually came out, but the part that was sticking out broke, and it took a while to come out fullly.
Lol I went from shocked to intrigued to emapth-mode and my foot started hurting but then was feeling better as if the splinter came outta my foot hahaha I can only imagine how much of a relieve that would be after getting that MASSIVE splinted out of the body 😲
Hey Dr Mike. A few months ago my cousins, brothers, and I were "training" to be doctors. We had watched your first hospital vlog and we took the most ridiculous things you said as "medical advice". I had to be patient and our instruments were a charger, skittles, and a pen. It was so funny and we read out our list of "medical knowledge" to our parents and Nana, and they couldn't stop laughing. They are a few years younger than me and it was really fun. Thanks for that vlog!! Keep up the amazing work!!
Its mainly part of being a doctor tbh as being nice is part of ur job to comfort a patient so it kind just became a normal; thing for him for the better.
One thing I like about Dr Mike is that he enunciates so well! Haha I am not a native English speaker and would most of the time have a hard time understanding a whole video without subtitles but for some reasons I understand evrything Dr Mike says 99% of the time.
@@Goatz129 No, lots of native english speakers are not enunciating as clearly as Dr. Mike. He has put much effort to being a great communicator and get understood.
6:15 is exactly what is like having a med student as a best friend. Last week my bff got drunk and while I was driving her home she started explaining me how alcohol testing works. Another friend who just started her intership was explaining neurology to me, I do not have the vocabulary to understand a med class but I do have the vocabulary to understand drunk peeps. 🥰

I actually have a splinter inside my right foot, which has been there ever since I was roughly 6-7 years old. The doctor opted not to remove it as it did not cause any bodily harm, and would most likely fall out on its own. ...I'm turning 25 next month, and the splinter is still a part of me lol
Shoot I had a splinter in my finger from two months ago and I thought it would go away. Just checked and now there is a thin layer of skin over it. Should I be worried?
@@nikkij4873 If it starts to move or disappear from where it's currently at, then yes do worry. I would just remove it with a pair of tweezers tho. I've had this splinter in my foot for years, and tweezers aren't enough to pull it out, but in my case it chose to just stay there. The worst I get is some mild pain like 5 times a year, so I don't worry about it anymore.
Yeah me too bc I’m 13 and my parents always told me that if a splinter stayed in my skin for like two weeks it would get seriously infected and the doctors would have to cut it out so I was freaking out but I’ve had a splinter in my foot for years and it doesn’t really do anything just kinda sits there. :/
@@gymfloormusicz2217 Exactly. I don’t know whether I should dig it out a little bloodily with tweezers or just let it stay there at this point lol. It doesn’t seem like it’s really bothering anything where it’s at but I’m worried I could get infected later.
@@allclay1993 I think it's just unintentional because she talking about eating. Its like that mind games where you were asked to picture one item on the table in your mind and you will somehow choose item associated with situation you are in....
9:20 I once took a shortcut through a park when it was closed, to help my friend catch the last bus home. I stepped on a spike on a fence to climb over and it went straight through my foot. When I got home I should see through my foot. But it didn't bleed and within a month had healed.
My daughter has hyper mobility syndrome (hyper mobility but with pain) & she can touch her foot to her hip & more like the woman at 6:55. She had leg, knee & back pain from the age of two, she would wake up screaming in pain just from doing normal everyday activity. She was referred to a physiotherapist who told us not to let her twist her knee/leg or sit in the W position. I’m so glad we listened because we were told later on if she kept doing that she’d have problem like arthritis in her hips & knees.
Yes I can touch my feet to my hips as well but nothing like the girl in the video. Mine is more so on the sides I can do it but I haven't done it in so long. Do you know if there's a possibility she has EDS? I know I'm hypermobile but I'm not sure if I have EDS but especially with how much your daughter can do it I was thinking it's a possibility.
9:20 -9:31-- 😂was so funny - not the splinter thing the part when DR Mike said “ I was in a new house and I was sliding on the floor and a SPLINTER WENT IN MY FOOT! SO I never EVERx2! Did that again” GOT ME LAUGHING lol 😂❤😅 btw- no hate ❤
BTWx10! 10:16 10:27 GOT ME LAUGHING ON THE FLOOR😂😂😂😂❤❤❤❤ SHES WAS SOOOOO CUTE and the point that Mike was like“ … RIRI ASK HIM OR HER IF THEY ARE alive! Then Mike be like … she was cute ☺️
My son has huge hypermobility. He can touch his big toe to the top of his foot and even to his shin. He can bend his knees and elbows way backwards. It causes huge problems because he has to use muscles to brace his joints each step and gets tired quickly. The doctors were worried about heart problems associated with it but he seems to be fine there.
Mike my dad is a surgeon, he really enjoys watching your ultra accurate content and keeps motivating me using you to get into medicine saying it's a special thing. I love you.
How about those who have unusually high tolerance to pain? My younger son has. When he was a child, he was rushed to ER with bronchitis (I think) and the doctor there gave two options. Liquid medicine, three times a day for ten days, or a shot done once. He replied that he wanted a shot. Doctor explained that it has to be done on the butt. My son displayed that most mischievous grin, turns around, pulled down his pants and said, “here.” I warned him that it is going to hurt. He still smiled while they gave him a shot. He actually laughed a bit. They ended up giving him a whole roll of stickers. This is my favorite memory. He is now a healthy 24 year old man.
@@helenaliljeberg5500 I can have stitches put in or removed without numbing. But really cringe at anything done to my eye! I am due to have cataract removal later in the year and the thought bothers me. But they do make you numb and groggy.
@@momkatmax my friend had cataract surgery. She said that they numb the eyes and once they remove your lens, everything goes black until after the new lens are in place. So surreal but interesting. I know. I freak out about eyes, too! I was very pregnant with my firstborn, eating an oatmeal raisin cookie while watching a three hour documentary in total knee replacement surgery. Very fascinating.
Funny thing. As a kid I slid on the floor and got a huge sliver in my heel. I left it in for a few days . My skin created a pocket around it and I could take it out painlessly. There was a small pocket in my heel for about a year and a half and after I had sever dry feet (srry if that’s nasty) the outer part fell off and now it looks normal. My mom still doesn’t know how I didn’t get an infection.
True, lipedema sucks! I hope there're specialized doctors in your country who are able to help you. In the end a liposuction is the only way for relief and the healthcare system in my country considers a liposuction as a beauty op, which is nonsense we all know. Tailored compression stockings and lymphatic drainages are the only paid treatments I can get. I hope they will change that and lipedema gets more attention in public. We're all fighters! Wish u all the best
@@noname6389 unfortunately not a lot of doctors know about it, they just tell you you’re morbidly obese and tell you to lose weight. It’s insulting and also you have to fight to get even a fraction of a surgery covered. 🤦♀️
It was interesting to see a fit person showing their lipedima too. I have lipedima and most of the materials show bigger people but it can happen to anyone and seeing someone fit with it can help people see that there is a difference between lipedima and obesity. This is important since lipedima is so often misdiagnosed or even unheard of by some doctors.
@@unfished33 of course bro lmao only complete idiots do that and I’ve never seen one IRL. Some big guys take steroids, but you probably won’t see someone with synthol in their muscles.

Honestly you staying at the office rather than doing the notes at home is really healthy. You're separating Work and Home life. Many people burn out so quickly b/c they take work home and can't escape it. Good on you Dr. Mike. Now start fitting 10 hours of patients into 10 hours of work and you'll be golden, stop double booking yourself! Stay Happy and Healthy both in life and work.
I literally love everything about Dr Mike! I love how you don't judge anyone but you focus on the health aspects of the videos. Your laughter and smile is so contagious. I Love your videos! Chest compressions for life!
What exactly does a family doctor or a GP do? Are they really doctors or just a main hub for all the other doctors to send their patients information too. I have one and all he does is have me come in every six months and he takes my BP, weight, height and the he sends me out for blood tests, asks about what kind of pills I’m taking when he’s the one that prescribes them to me and they are right in front of his face on the computer. And a weird thing is he says he will do my PAP test, but wont look at my sinus infection or any other problem, he just sends you off to someone else , why would he do a Pap test but nothing else for me. That raised red flags. He just pawns me off on a “specialist” for every problem I have. So what is it they are really good for?
I'm not a doctor, but I am a health care provider and I specialize in women's health/reproductive health. General practitioners ("GP") send patients to me who have reproductive issues that are beyond their scope of practice or knowledge because I probably know more about reproductive bits than they do. It doesn't take much medical knowledge to collect a pap, a GP can easily do it, but it could require an ENT or other such specialist to deal with certain kinds or severities of sinus infections, which may be why your GP refers you out for it. On the other hand, a GP knows much more about primary care than I do and that's why they know what blood tests to order for a yearly physical. If a patient came to me looking for basic primary care, I'd send them to a GP or family doctor because I am not well versed in that area of medicine. So, in short, it might not be that your GP is incompetent, rather that some of your medical needs might be outside their area of expertise.
@@jacklukasewycz1316 He is incompetent, what he does a medical assistant could do. He does nothing but send me out for anything. The sinus infection he didn’t even look in my nose to see if it was really infected. I would think he would at least do that. I just had back surgery on the 8th and have a follow up with the surgeons PA, which I would rather speak to the actual surgeon and know what he saw and did during surgery. Then I have to see my GP, who will ask why I’m there and then he does nothing but type in his computer and sends me on my way. This seems to just cost insurance companies money and raises rates. Doctors who were in private practice used to be so much different, now they all work for companies.
I feel for the guy with the splinter!! I stepped on a Mesquite tree thorn when I was 10-ish and it went into my heel. My Mom took me to the hospital. They did x-rays to find it (very ineffective with wooden foreign bodies) then started trying to find it visually. They removed about 1/8” of a piece. Three doctors checked for remnants and found nothing so I was sent home. For a month I kept saying that I think there’s a big piece still in there but no one believed me; three doctors checked and I think 4-6 x-rays were taken. I finally got tired of the pain and took matters into my own hands (do NOT do this yourself)…cleaned the area with alcohol and boiled the pocket knife (I know now how that’s not what to do but I was only 10-ish at the time). I made a small cut above where I felt it and then squeezed below it. I measured the price of thorn against a ruler and it was 1.25” long. I showed my Mom the thorn when she got home to prove I wasn’t lying and that it was out. I didn’t limp anymore after that; at least til my next injury. My Mom was FLOORED when she saw how much had been missed but wood, especially a splinter or thorn, doesn’t show up on an x-ray very well.
But if I eat fish it most certainly smells fishy, so that part I was kinda like "dude, are you seriously trying to mansplain what vaginas smell like to someone who has one?? because... you're just wrong."
@@mazzy2121 you're believing tik tok, over a registered medical professional, just because he's a man, and u have one?... yes it shouldn't smell like roses, but it shouldn't smell terrible either...
@Mazzy Black This isn't mansplaining. He is literally a family medicine DOCTOR who has seen multiple cases of vaginal odour or anything related to the vagina over the years. Obviously he knows more than you or me (even though we are women). Being a woman doesn't nake you a expert on women's health. I am not saying your vagina doesn't smell like a fish but you cannot be sure that it is because you are eating fish. Go see a gynecologist please.
@@The_Red_Wake No I have to agree with Mazzy. If I eat fish, it does smell fishy, only for a few hours but it does. It's the same with anything smoked, like meat or sausage, it smells like the smoke. I'm not lying, I'll swear on anything.
My mom had this patient who could control his blood pressure to a degree (as well as how loud or quiet it could be). He played tricks on the nurses all the time when they tried to take his BP. He would always laugh to himself when my mom would take his BP because she immediately knew when he was messing with her.
I can to a degree. I can elevate and lower my heart rate by 10bpm or so. I have an arrhythmia related to my breathing so if I slow my breathing, I can slow my heart
@@grouch314 everyone can do that lmao, not to a huge extent, but everyone can "manually" raise heart rate with some tricks , what's hard is lowering it a lot than your average while awake and at rest
It's all about the stickers, especially because I had a panic attack in a doctor's office because of vaccines. I got 7 stickers afterwards and it was amazing. The stickers are the best part.
Hi Mike 🙂 I also have hypo mobility in my leg joints and it makes me happy to see that there is at least someone who doesn’t react with “that’s weird!!!”
My son had the most amazing nurse for his vaccinations, she created the best environment and he didn’t cry at all, was pretty much pushing me out the door for his next visit and still asks me regularly if we can go back to the “ drs house” 😂
the way bones reconstruct is so cool! the bone gets even thicker to prevent further injury. crazy how our bodies can not only rebuild its foundation but also make it even stronger.
My 3 kids had SUCH different reactions to doctor's appointments when they were small. My oldest acted like the doctor was a weirdo. She stared at him like he was a freak. 'You want to what?' After an appointment, she didn't want to talk about it. She's 17 yo and never had anything worse than a cold. Not even the flu. My middle child thought our doctor was wonderful and he just couldn't wait to go back! He was born premature and has never had an issue with needles. He's always been so chill about it. He has epilepsy and he's just so easy going and laughs so easily. My youngest child HATED anything medical, doctor included. Shrieked through needles. Sobbed if we had to take him to the ER. Fought medicine. I never knew kids could hate medical stuff starting from as early as the newborn stage.
Given how sick I was as a kid (And I'm still sick all the time...) I can't imagine what my parents would have done if i hated the doctor. I never really cared one way or the other. Good luck with your youngest.
@@runningfromabear8354 I know that it’s been seven months but how are you doing now? I’ve lost many relatives to cancer and people I knew. It’s so horribly sad and not fair. Sometimes I think to myself “what kind of cruel world are we living in”. My condolences go out to you and your family.

The splinter one actually made me kind of giggle. Only because I had something similar happen. But it was a shard of glass. Went to work, went on a 3km midnight walk, came home and… nursing roommate was staring wide-eyed at my foot. After getting me to sit down, we realized I had a bloody blister (like a normal blister, but all red) and she decided, “I’m going to try and solve this.” A good while later, she’d lanced and drained the blister, and spotted the glass. Can’t recall how she got it out (she had me distracted with Top Gear) but I had to call off work the next day. I wasn’t able to put weight in my foot
7:50 If I had to take a guess, I would say that she needs to intake more protein but the allergies and sensitivities prevent her from getting that protein from her vegetarian diet. Edit: Vegan diet, whatever.

I’m dying 😂😂😂
hey ive seen some things and there is some items that make our V smell like oranges 🍊 and cherry Blossom 🌸
@@hippiepisces9745 I've also seen some things and aside from garlic or asparagus (or a few other pungent foods that can stay in your fluids or blood stream for a while) it's very hard to do the opposite, I think if you avoid the pungent stuff consciously you can get a milder softer taste for sure, some vaginas also naturally smell/taste like pineapple or raw honey regardless of if you ate any lol.. also beware of eating only fruit in hopes you taste good for a date because lots of sugar will make your ph more acidic.. ALSO, your vagina will taste different throughout your cycle, ovulation week is very mild in taste whereas PMS week is more acidic. You'd have to take all of that into consideration and maybe have a twin sister as a control to be sure your special diet tricks actually work haha!
@@hippiepisces9745 yeah and those stupid things you should never put near your vagina!
The vagina cleans it self through vaginal discharge.
If your vagina "smells" bad its most commonly sweat mixed with perfumes.
Perfume barely masks sweat and makes sweat smell worse.
Thereby you should only wash your clothes with unperfumed detergents and softeners etc. And underwear should be washed at minimum 60°C for hygiene reasons. It equals to every body part that sweat. The thing that cause sweat to smell is bacteria reacting to oxygen if I remember it correctly.
Secondly, any lotion, v-douche, soap or deodorant "for the vagina" should NEVER BE USED.
You'll disrupt the pH-level (normal is 3,5-4 unlike the skin who is 4-5) and mostly you'll kill all the good bacteria in there!
The good bacteria is important for a healthy vagina.
BUT if your vagina smells fishy or like vinegar and the discharge is strong yellow/ egg white with bits like cottage cheese or slightly green/grey color - - - you should see a gynaecologist asap! It's signs of bacterial or fungus infection, but could also be a UTI or worst case a STD/STI. 😅 Or even some cases symptoms of pregnancy. Or a sideeffect of birthcontrols like everything with "hormones" in it.
@@isabellaidaandersen1638 i fiund out when i was pregnant 🤰 that the pH changes and itll bleach underwear
I love Dr Glaucomflecken. Hearing about how his wife saved his life when he went into cardiac arrest inspired me to update my knowledge of CPR and what to do in a cardiac emergency. She's a freaking hero to have kept up effective chest compressions for as long as she did. My partner had a massive heart attack in March, and it helps me feel less helpless to at least know that I'd be able to do my best to give him assistance if, god forbid, he ever had another cardiac event.
and in the MIDDLE OF THE NIGHT. Like he was having some type of heart issue and she woke up cause of his gasps. Like talk about lucky
He's awesome but what kind of surname is that?! XD

Dr Mike is always making the best medical videos on TH-cam. As weird as these tiktoks are getting, his explanations are always on point.
Yes :)
If you mean the funniest and most enjoyable for the general public yeah, he's doing a really good job spreading useful health tips and debunking some dangerous misinformation from social media. But the scientific content is kinda slim (has to be this way I guess, considering his target audience) and there are plenty other colleagues posting great medical videos on TH-cam, so Mike's not #1 for me but he's definitely in the top 5.

My little sister was recently diagnosed with hypermobility, all her life she’s dealt with joint pain, dislocations, and other issues because of it all her life. It’s cool what she can do, but it still causes her so many problems.
That cool but sad 😢
Yeah, hypermobility is a fun party truck until you can't walk. I have slight hypermobility in my hands and I can do fun things like "getting festival wristbands off without cutting them" and "reaching the last pringles in the tube" but I can't do things like "write for 30 minutes without pain".
"it's not all about stickers" yes Mike, Yes it is. the gold star stickers for amazing health.
you should make chest compression stickers.
yeesssss
Omg yes that sounds really cool and i'd probs buy it.
YESSS
There have to be some artists in this little community of ours, I foresee a line of Dr Mike stickers, including:
- Dr Mike caricature
- Chest compressions
- Pee-woop
- DOCTOR BEAR!!!!
- Stay Happy and Healthy
Though if he isn’t careful, his adult patients would steal them all before any kids got one.
That's an awesome idea! 👍😃
So glad you pointed out how hyper mobility, while sometimes not a problem, is usually a disorder and not a super power. If any of you are hyper mobile, let your doctor know.
I’m personally hyper mobile, does it affect me negatively, why should I tell a doctor
@@shwungus. it makes my friend dislocate his limbs if he’s not careful, he was doing a push up and his shoulder slammed out.
@@shwungus. I have it too. A common side effect, which I have, is that local anaesthetics are not very effective on me at all, so it's important for doctors to know in case of things like that. It's always possible the doctor will know something about the condition that will turn out to be relevant to you later on.
@@shwungus. Biomedical engineer here: flexibility comes at the cost of stability. Think of a wet noodle vs a dry noodle - the wet noodle is much more flexible but deforms with very little applied force. Translating that back to bodies, a hyperflexible joint is more likely to hyperextend or dislocate in response to an applied load (from exercise, a fall, whatever) as it can't resist the forces. This is a large part of why it's important to build strength in the joint.
Hyperextension of any joint can bypass all the evolutionary safeguards to give the body fun new ways to break. We've all seen the videos of someone having their knees bent backwards by an overloaded leg press -- hyperextended joint + overload weight = catastrophic failure of the joint. Under normal circumstances, joints have a variety of tendons and ligaments that restrict motion to normal ranges. If a hyperflexible individual exceeds the normal limits (by practice or by birth condition) they lose the protections of those tissues, so it takes a lot less to cause injury. Think about a chain lock on a door: when it's secured properly it can prevent undesired movement of the door; if the anchor-point is not secured (mobile or "flexible" in some way) then it can't do its job and the potentially hazardous motion can occur uninhibited. (In the case of people with extra-stretchy ligaments, imagine the chain being made of a deflated balloon instead. The metaphor would vary depending on condition, joint, exact ligament, relative position...but I digress)
Do let me stress though that FLEXIBILITY IS GOOD. Stretching is scientifically proven to be one of the best things you can do for your body. But the exercises that build flexibility often build up some strength as well and should be accompanied by other fitness activities to really firm up the region. It's all about hitting that balance between "bodybuilder who can't scratch his back" and "tiktok girl that'll tear every ligament in her knee/hip if she falls the wrong way".
@@shwungus. it's best for you to do certain exercises to strenghten the muscles which stabilise the joints so they don't get damage or pop out of plclace
wow.. you’re the first TH-cam doctor to point out that hypermobility can cause problems in the future and how important it is for your doctor to know about and explain it to their patients. Thank you! ♡
I can’t help wonder if she has EDS as extreme as her hyper mobility is.
@@debbiethemadbee Yeah, me too!
Yep I was born with hypermobility, plus I grew up doing dance and gymnastics, then from the age of 15 I was diagnosed with chronic pain caused by my hypermobility and now at almost 18 I’m still constantly in pain whether it’s standing, sitting, laying down, etc.
That was my first thought too was EDS. I have it and used to do that.
Am I the only one that hopes that everyone with EDS has someone like him as their physician???

“Did you know that removing caffeine from your diet can help you lose...”
*Dr. Mike: Please be accurate! Please be accurate!*
“...Over sixty percent of your will to live.”
I don’t see anything wrong here. That’s completely accurate.
Seconded. Had no Pepsi or coffee the other day and my will to live never charted over 41.5%.
So you become suicidal from not drinking coffee? That’s stigmatizing if you ask me.
@@pineddew Well that's is true brother when you drink coffee, tea,alcohol and other drinks like that you are actually giving yourself a high dose of dopamine which is a pleasure hormone aka mood simulator.
Let's take a example.
Person A never had any alcoholic or caffeinated drinks. So his threshold for initiating the dopamine release very low even a low quality joke will make him laugh daily activities will keep him happy because dopamine is releasing constantly.
Secondly we have person B he drinks caffeinated drinks and a little bit of alcohol every now and then.
For him dopamine is only released when he drink these drinks. His daily work and activities won't give him any pleasure because dopamine is not released when he is performing them because his threshold is extremely high.
So if he suddenly stop drinking them he won't be happy, like never be no excitement in life no motivation for living his life.
@@kartikchauhan143 ok, Dr. Pseudoscience.
@@kartikchauhan143 Yeah, um, that's not how it works. Caffeine is a stimulant. It literally suppresses the feeling of tiredness. This is why people "wake up" after having a cup of coffee.
Release of dopamine when you consume a drug is a symptom of addiction, but caffeine itself doesn't cause a release of dopamine. Person 2 might be addicted to caffeine, but nothing else you've said about dopamine has any truth or relevance, and it's extraordinarily unlikely to be the only way the brain will release dopamine(That would be a legitimate disorder.)
I'm a single mom & have multiple immune disorders so my son was in the doctor's office with me a lot not to mention for his own well child visits, dentist & eye doctor. He started not wanting any of the things I'd bring for his entertainment but wanted to read all the medical pamphlets (obviously I'd screen). He went with me for my twice a yr EKG & was reading a random pamphlet which the tech thought was interesting so started chatting with him & my son told him he wanted to be a doctor. He was 4 at the time so the tech is raving that it's so cool that he wants to be a doctor so my son tells him "doctors get all the stickers they want"
Awww. Thats so sweet ❤

As someone who also has multiple autoimmune disorders and diseases I relate to this so much. My son, however, was bored and an9yed with the whole thing. He also knew what he wanted to be at that age.

I love how excited he gets about random medical tidbits. Also, wood splitters are nothing compared to fiberglass splitters. And you can’t even see the fiberglass to get it out so you just have to deal with it until it decides to come out.
Different material but one time I was helping rake a softball field and the rake was broken in half but I didn’t think much about it until one of the shards was shoved into my hand and it hurt so bad
Have you ever had metal splinters
that's if it comes out and doesn't just get buried deep inside covered in hard protective tissue. A big fibreglass splinter can leave more shards inside too?
How about a metal "splinter" in your eye?? My brother had that, and had a newbie perform the procedure to remove it. 😥😥

THE LITTLE GIRL TALKING ABOUT HER DOCTORS VISIT OMGGGG. if only I'd had doctors like hers when I was little
Seeing that little girl so happy about the doctor made me smile. When I was a child, probably younger than 5, I was scared to get a vaccine, and my father pretended he was going to hug me to make me feel better, and instead pinned me down and they gave me the injection. That is one of my earliest, clearest memories, like it was yesterday, and it lead to a trauma in relation to needless that stopped (and stops) me from getting vaccines and IV. I would probably need to be sedated to receive an IV. It's nice to see that her early memories of doctors will be different from mine, I think thats such an important thing to facilitate with kids, so that during their life they feel safe and comfortable around them.
My son needed an X-Ray when he was little. He was told that a special camera would take "magic pictures" of his insides. It worked!
@@Cricket2731 that's nice! its always good to create early positive situations with unusual environments.

On note of the doctor saved by his wife: my grandma actually saved her husband twice when he had a heartattak with chest compressions until the medics arrived. Sadly the third time even that could not save him and he died some time later in hospital.
She also raised me after getting basically handled a premature born baby at 67 so I think shes a Rockstar for sure ❤️

As a doctor, there are so many interesting medical conditions I don't get to see day-to-day! I love how TH-cam and TikTok can be such great educational tools! Thanks Dr Mike!!
👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
Hey Doc, Merry Christmas! ❤️💚❤️ There’s a weird thing I can do with my body that I always thought was normal, but nobody I’ve asked has said they can do it too. At will, I can kind of… contract the muscles near the top of my nose, pinch my sinuses closed and completely block nasal airflow, just as effectively as the stuffiest of blocked noses will, it even feels the same.
As an autistic woman with an overly sensitive sense of smell (and an overly active gag reflex) it’s a true _godsend_ for blocking out the stinkier situations of life, and if I were a medical nerd like you instead of the computer nerd I am, I think this’d made me a _fantastic_ pathologist. I literally thought _everyone_ could do that until recently learning not only is that not the case, but nobody in my social circle can do it either.
Is this an ability you have, or know of anyone else having, or do I _finally_ have my long overdue, _well_ earnt X-Men mutant superpower? Apart from AIS that is, the ability to be a woman with XY chromosomes who’s mostly immune to testosterone is already _pretty_ neat 😁 woo Intersex Posse represent! 🖖 (There’s no way my gang sign _wouldn’t_ be the Vulcan Salute, it’s the most logical choice.)
@@DissociatedWomenIncorporated Hey! What I think is going on here is that you're lifting up your soft palate to block off your nostrils! In fact, your nostrils go backwards then down. (If nostrils went up, they'd go straight into the brain!) If you feel the roof of your mouth, you can feel the hard palate at the front and the soft palate at the back. Contracting the muscles of the soft palate has a similar effect to what you've described. I don't think it's necessarily related to AIS - although I appreciate that certain hormone insensitivities like Kallmann syndrome do present with impaired sense of smell. I hope that helps, all the best!
Not TikTok, the majority of information on TikTok is false.

The splinter story resonated with me. One time I was dancing across the floor in my new apartment and I stepped, hard, on a pin that was on the floor and it went into my foot, hit the bone and bent on the bone but kept going in. I started laughing, because it hurt but I felt really dumb for the way it happened. My boyfriend was freaking out as, with tears in my eyes I had to figure out a way to manouver the pin out of my foot. So painful lol
my similar story: in school we had these wooden benches where me and my friends would play, i run my hands across the bench and a giant splinter got stuck under my nailbed, all the way to my cuticle, hurt like sheit and the nurse had to remove my fingernail to get it out
I slipped on a banana peel leaving study hall in high school. I still can't believe it happened. I fell like a cartoon. I hurt myself but refused to sit there and wait for help.
I would’ve gone to the doctor
Look up red locust tree thorns and you'll never want to take your shoes off again. Not only are they 3-5 inches long, they also have micro barbs and a toxin that makes them more painful. I know someone who stepped on one and it had to be pulled from the top of his foot because if you try to pull it the other way it'll break and leave bits inside a cause an infection. They also go through the soles of your shoes and have to be removed with pliers or they'll work their way all the way to your foot.

Legit, Doctor Mike is one of the most entertaining youtubers, and the fact that he is an actual doctor on top of that is just super impressive.
What I'm impressed with is that he seems to be very knowledgeable and remains professional and considerate as he's doing that.
Chest compressions saved the lives of two of my friends on different occasions!
I had two friends that I was close to and we all got into drugs. We ended up becoming addicted to Fentanyl (though at the time, we were tricked into thinking it was just prescription oxycodone or percocet). Unfortunately both of those friends overdosed at some point. We all used drugs together frequently because it's safer, so thankfully I was there for both of their overdoses.
In both cases, I immediately called 911 and started chest compressions. The whole time, "chest compressions, chest compressions, chest compressions" was going through my head. I remembered everything Dr. Mike said about the rhythm and depth of the compressions.
Glad ur ok!
:(! Praying for you and your friends recovery 🙏🏼 it may be hard but not impossible!
Mk
as the addict friend, thank you. ive also had to return the favor. God Bless!

i have a fear of needles, so when i was a younger i hated going to the doctor (not saying it’s the most fun now) but i balled my eyes out until i was like 13 or something. they did everything right it’s just im so scared of needles and i basically had to get a shot that i would just cryyy
I really like this man's attitude. I've turned 60 recently and it has been accompanied by a long list of maladies that require daily medications. It gets depressing to have gone from an athletic, healthy adult in to an old man who shuffles around like Mr. Magoo in less than a decade. Doctor Mike is inspiring me to take better care.
Im glad to hear that you're taking care of yourself. You rock!
Lady Glaucomflecken not only did CPR. She did CPR for 10 minutes and ended up saving her husband's life. A true hero
10 min? Gd that's brutal, it's so exhausting doing just one round of 2 minutes while training.
As someone with Ehlers-Danlos Syndrome, I'm really glad to see you highlighting the issues with extreme flexibility. These people clearly haven't had the right medical advice. Hypermobile people should NEVER push on or actively manipulate hypermobile joints. It's extremely dangerous and will cause more weakness over time. Funny when you're young, fatal when you're old!
My first thought was hEDS too since I know a few people with it and am hypermobile myself as well, but undiagnosed.
I've always been hypermobile and able to jump rope with my arms without letting go and do all 3 splits without ever getting up ... as an adult, I am more careful with my body. It's not fun to ache. I haven't been diagnosed, but I think it's highly likely.
agreed, i have hyper flexibility in my ankles/legs resulting in turning my foot backwards, both feet but not at the same time. i also have feet that roll in, which is causing pain a lot.
@@yagamil46I have HEDS too. The turning in of the ankles and pain was the first symptom for me. It sucks. The only thing that helped my ankles was two years of ballet strengthening. My knees and elbows bend backwards too!
I got CEDS
Hey Dr mike, i have currently caught a cold and i feel like i have a really bad fever, bu i have checked my fever and i never have one, but your videos have really cheered me up!! Keep up the good work!!
I love the little girl who enjoyed her visit to the Dr. My niece is like this. She's obsessed with Dr visits and the medical field. We asked her what gifts we should bring her when we see her next and the only thing she requested was a set of real medical tools (stethoscope, otoscope, and sphygmomanometer). I think it depends a lot on how parents and medical providers approach children's medical visits.
Your niece sounds a lot like how I was as a kid, I can't even count the amount of times I've asked for and recieved a set of medical tools. That and books were the only two things I've ever asked for since I was a child lmao.
We have had 2 pediatricians, the first one was when I was about 3-5 years old, he was an old man who I did not like one bit. He made me hate medicine. Then there came the second one and this doc was so nice and had such a comforting aura I wanted to be exactly like him when i grew up.
Thanks to my second pediatrician, I developed a pretty strong love for medicine and got into med school relatively easily!
My first doctor did everything! I couldn’t believe that he would give out a whole pack of gum. How did he make enough money to live on 🤷🏼♀️
@@utahimeiori8739 Wonderful ❤️
Not really. It depends on the child's temperament. Must be nice to not deal with special needs 🙄
Yeah my 4 year old hates the Dr. Even just getting weighed and measured. They don't really do anything extra to let him get used to the situation or the people. He did soooooo good at the dentist, though, so I'm like, determined to protect his view of the dentist at all costs.
Was 100% cringing over the girl with severe hypermobility. Do NOT do that even if you can- it can lead to ligament damage and consequently, surgery. My knees and hips are also hypermobile but it reached a point where my MPFL’s in both knees had to be replaced because they were stretched too far.
Same. I have HEDS and I was watching that like no girl just no, you will pay later
Advice not taken
So I have shallow knee joints which allows both of my knee caps to leave the socket at random. (UNGODLY PAINFUL!!!) (I DO NOT WISH IT UPON MY WORST ENEMY!!) But anyways since my shallow joints allow that I have and this is a quote verbatim. "Obliterated both of my MPFLS!!" Like the doctor told me that and then told me he's never seen anything like it that did not happen due to a horrific accident. So I feel your pain and thank God I found this comment before her part of the video!! Thank you

That eye worm was in a Dr. Youn video too, so I've had the dubious pleasure of seeing it twice. 😬
Its night for me and im about to go to sleep help
IM SO GLAD I SAW THIS! DOCTOR! I went through the training to be a caregiver and we were told that chest compression was the FIRST thing you do. I said no, no you need to see if the heart is still beating. They even had a scenarios that you walk into a room and a child is unconscious on the floor and chest compression came first. I’m 60 and have been through quite a few Red Cross CPR courses and was in an army medical unit for 27 years and I NEVER heard of this. I’m glad you back me up on this.
As an LMT, I had a client once who had two toes that never separated. When I palpated, I could tell that both sets of phalanges were present, so it wasn't as if one toe was missing. There were two distinct toenails as well. I have seen some interesting, unique bodies in my career.
They had syndactyly?
hey um, I can wistle through my nose. Is that normal?
That condition runs in my family, three aunts on my fathers side have half or fully connected toes in the middle and almost everyone else has extended webbing between the fingers and toes
@@dianabirbraer1353 I can do that too
@@duskwolf8635 yup, both my brothers have webbed toes

My mothers partner, he was once at our house alone, and he heard a scream from next door. It turns out that the lady who lived next door, her husband was lying almost dead on the floor and my moms partner doing "chest compressions, chest compressions, chest compressions" saved that mans life.
The final voice crack when the stickers were relevant, love it. He doesn’t judge anyone, but explains how the health of someone could improve or even decimate
I love you Docter mike
That child's parent is doing it right. They're engaging her in conversation and paying attention to her speech. I did the same with my kids and they are both very conversational and people frequently compliment their vocabulary. It's not always so cut and dry, but it's good parenting nonetheless. She may however, not have developed the cognitive ability to understand how a doctor helps you. But she's adorable, I love chatty babies and toddlers 🥰
Same
and shes 3!!! i follow her on tiktok :))
I loved her as well, she is learning the drs office can be a positive experience which mean hopefully she will continue learning why they are so important when she/if she gets sick. Amazing little one
My niece is also like that so it makes my heat melt every time x
That must be nice. my parents don't talk to me at all 💀😭
👍
0:28 One papercut and he's dead 💀💀
Right. I've seen you talk about chest compressions on here many times and I'm gonna add my voice to the chorus. I had SIDS now for those unaware SIDS is short for Sudden Infant Death Syndrome, The causes are unknown but generally it presents with a dead child as the first symptom most parents see. My mother was incredibly lucky that when she checked on me and I was not breathing was cold as ice and had no pulse or heartbeat that she started chest compressions and after literal hours when the sun finally rose and my grandmother could drive her to the doctors i was breathing on my own again. Now I had SIDS attacks where my heartrate would slow down then my breathing for two years (I was on a SIDS monitor) and every attack my mother and grandmother would perform chest compressions to get my little heart going again. Now fast forward a year or so I was four and my little friend had a little baby sister and when I noticed her breathing and heartrate had dropped suddenly I began performing CPR and called for help WELL help was a long time coming I had successfully revived her when her mother showed up asking what I thought I was doing I explained she had stopped breathing and I began CPR the mother obviously thought it was fanciful imagination and told my mother as much, My mother corrected her that if I said there was something wrong then there was something wrong. So she took her daughter to the doctor who referred her immediately to a specialist who caught that she had a heart defect and if I had not performed CPR when I did she would have passed away because she needed (a Pacemaker I think if I remember correctly) surgery to correct the problem and the next time she saw me she gave me a big hug and thanked me and told my mother what had happened and of course I in all my autistic four year old glory said Well what else would I have done and went back to playing legos.
TLDR CHEST COMPRESSIONS SAVE LIVES LEARN FIRST AID FROM A QUALIFIED PROFFESIONAL BEFORE YOUR CHILD IS CONCEIVED!! LEARN TO SAVE THE LIFE TODAY THAT YOU WILL SAVE TOMORROW.
This is a big comment
Maybe a big comment but it’s A amazing what her mother was able to do, ( curiousity question- was there no emergency line she could call to get you help? Or would that have meant leaving to to do that?? I’m amazed she did not tire her self out I’ve done cpr on both a child and adult and it’s exhausting either way…. Adrenaline can work wonders especially when saving your or anyone babies life)
And again amazing that you were switched on enough to and learnt enough to be able to save your friend!
Chest compressions chest compressions chest compressions as the good dr says!
And I 100% agree with your end statement !!!

@@MarneRiver2139 it never occurred to her to call an ambulance she called my grandmother who didn't believe her and told her she would be round in the morning but this was the early 90's SIDS was basically unknown in the wider community. My mom tells me she stayed up monitoring me when I was breathing and chest compressions when i wasn't just praying for the dawn because irrationally (she admits) she just kept thinking if she could make it to day light I would be ok.

To add to what Mike said, changing the PH from your vagina is also a very fast way to get various issues, as the Vagina's micro-organisms contain both fungus and bacteria that, to dumb it down, balance each others out through that PH value. The Fungus overgrowth is known as Yeast.
Do not change your vagina's PH value, your sexlife will be as grateful to you as your doctors are.
Thank you! This needs to be talked about a lot more!
A strong fishy smell is generally a sign of bacterial vaginosis.
Please be aware that having sex can upset your natural ph-levels.
The vagina is only on the inside. The outer parts like the lips and clitoris are called the vulva.
There is so much misinformation out there. Never put soap up your vagina. Only clean the vulva with water or unscented mild soap.

I almost screamed with the splinter. I had a similar experience to you though, Dr. Mike. I was in yellowstone and there was a wooden railing on the boardwalk (this was YEARS ago), and as with all railings I was running my hand across it, I wound up with a splinter in my thumb pad. I think it eventually came out, but the part that was sticking out broke, and it took a while to come out fullly.
I did scream when that guy ripped out the fistful of pit hair 🤣🤣🤣 It was totally involuntary.
@@thedeviouspanda I became the e meme
Lol I went from shocked to intrigued to emapth-mode and my foot started hurting but then was feeling better as if the splinter came outta my foot hahaha I can only imagine how much of a relieve that would be after getting that MASSIVE splinted out of the body 😲
Hey Dr Mike. A few months ago my cousins, brothers, and I were "training" to be doctors. We had watched your first hospital vlog and we took the most ridiculous things you said as "medical advice". I had to be patient and our instruments were a charger, skittles, and a pen. It was so funny and we read out our list of "medical knowledge" to our parents and Nana, and they couldn't stop laughing. They are a few years younger than me and it was really fun. Thanks for that vlog!! Keep up the amazing work!!

I actually have a splinter inside my right foot, which has been there ever since I was roughly 6-7 years old. The doctor opted not to remove it as it did not cause any bodily harm, and would most likely fall out on its own.
...I'm turning 25 next month, and the splinter is still a part of me lol
Shoot I had a splinter in my finger from two months ago and I thought it would go away. Just checked and now there is a thin layer of skin over it. Should I be worried?
@@nikkij4873 If it starts to move or disappear from where it's currently at, then yes do worry. I would just remove it with a pair of tweezers tho.
I've had this splinter in my foot for years, and tweezers aren't enough to pull it out, but in my case it chose to just stay there. The worst I get is some mild pain like 5 times a year, so I don't worry about it anymore.
@@OniFox thanks!!
Yeah me too bc I’m 13 and my parents always told me that if a splinter stayed in my skin for like two weeks it would get seriously infected and the doctors would have to cut it out so I was freaking out but I’ve had a splinter in my foot for years and it doesn’t really do anything just kinda sits there. :/
@@gymfloormusicz2217 Exactly. I don’t know whether I should dig it out a little bloodily with tweezers or just let it stay there at this point lol.
It doesn’t seem like it’s really bothering anything where it’s at but I’m worried I could get infected later.
"A vaginal odour that has a fishy odour to it does not come from eating fish."
"A vagina should smell like a vagina."

That part bugged me because she didn't say anything about eating fish

My vaginal odour will be bad if my period is coming days but normally smell sweet or nothing 😅
9:20 I once took a shortcut through a park when it was closed, to help my friend catch the last bus home. I stepped on a spike on a fence to climb over and it went straight through my foot. When I got home I should see through my foot. But it didn't bleed and within a month had healed.

My daughter has hyper mobility syndrome (hyper mobility but with pain) & she can touch her foot to her hip & more like the woman at 6:55. She had leg, knee & back pain from the age of two, she would wake up screaming in pain just from doing normal everyday activity.
She was referred to a physiotherapist who told us not to let her twist her knee/leg or sit in the W position. I’m so glad we listened because we were told later on if she kept doing that she’d have problem like arthritis in her hips & knees.
Yes I can touch my feet to my hips as well but nothing like the girl in the video. Mine is more so on the sides I can do it but I haven't done it in so long. Do you know if there's a possibility she has EDS? I know I'm hypermobile but I'm not sure if I have EDS but especially with how much your daughter can do it I was thinking it's a possibility.
It's not our fault that the w position is comfortable 😩
9:20 -9:31-- 😂was so funny - not the splinter thing the part when DR Mike said “ I was in a new house and I was sliding on the floor and a SPLINTER WENT IN MY FOOT! SO I never EVERx2! Did that again” GOT ME LAUGHING lol 😂❤😅 btw- no hate ❤

My son has huge hypermobility. He can touch his big toe to the top of his foot and even to his shin. He can bend his knees and elbows way backwards. It causes huge problems because he has to use muscles to brace his joints each step and gets tired quickly.
The doctors were worried about heart problems associated with it but he seems to be fine there.

How about those who have unusually high tolerance to pain? My younger son has. When he was a child, he was rushed to ER with bronchitis (I think) and the doctor there gave two options. Liquid medicine, three times a day for ten days, or a shot done once. He replied that he wanted a shot. Doctor explained that it has to be done on the butt. My son displayed that most mischievous grin, turns around, pulled down his pants and said, “here.” I warned him that it is going to hurt. He still smiled while they gave him a shot. He actually laughed a bit. They ended up giving him a whole roll of stickers. This is my favorite memory. He is now a healthy 24 year old man.

@@helenaliljeberg5500 I can have stitches put in or removed without numbing. But really cringe at anything done to my eye! I am due to have cataract removal later in the year and the thought bothers me. But they do make you numb and groggy.
@@momkatmax my friend had cataract surgery. She said that they numb the eyes and once they remove your lens, everything goes black until after the new lens are in place. So surreal but interesting. I know. I freak out about eyes, too! I was very pregnant with my firstborn, eating an oatmeal raisin cookie while watching a three hour documentary in total knee replacement surgery. Very fascinating.
Funny thing. As a kid I slid on the floor and got a huge sliver in my heel. I left it in for a few days . My skin created a pocket around it and I could take it out painlessly. There was a small pocket in my heel for about a year and a half and after I had sever dry feet (srry if that’s nasty) the outer part fell off and now it looks normal. My mom still doesn’t know how I didn’t get an infection.
Thank you so much for addressing lipedema! It’s painful, and it’s horrible as it progresses.
Right? I was so surprised to see someone with such a large platform actually know what it is, let alone talk about it correctly
True, lipedema sucks! I hope there're specialized doctors in your country who are able to help you. In the end a liposuction is the only way for relief and the healthcare system in my country considers a liposuction as a beauty op, which is nonsense we all know.
Tailored compression stockings and lymphatic drainages are the only paid treatments I can get. I hope they will change that and lipedema gets more attention in public. We're all fighters! Wish u all the best
@@noname6389 unfortunately not a lot of doctors know about it, they just tell you you’re morbidly obese and tell you to lose weight. It’s insulting and also you have to fight to get even a fraction of a surgery covered. 🤦♀️
Also good luck to you my friend! Painful fat disease is a thing that needs to get more attention!
It was interesting to see a fit person showing their lipedima too. I have lipedima and most of the materials show bigger people but it can happen to anyone and seeing someone fit with it can help people see that there is a difference between lipedima and obesity. This is important since lipedima is so often misdiagnosed or even unheard of by some doctors.

Now start fitting 10 hours of patients into 10 hours of work and you'll be golden, stop double booking yourself! Stay Happy and Healthy both in life and work.
I literally love everything about Dr Mike! I love how you don't judge anyone but you focus on the health aspects of the videos. Your laughter and smile is so contagious. I Love your videos! Chest compressions for life!
He only judges if they're wrong 🙃
Hey just an idea: How about you do a video on proper technique for chest compressions? I think a lot of people could benefit from it

I got taught in health class with actual dummies, got taught how to stop bleeding and bandage wounds too.
Or maybe one on all basic first aids

What exactly does a family doctor or a GP do? Are they really doctors or just a main hub for all the other doctors to send their patients information too. I have one and all he does is have me come in every six months and he takes my BP, weight, height and the he sends me out for blood tests, asks about what kind of pills I’m taking when he’s the one that prescribes them to me and they are right in front of his face on the computer. And a weird thing is he says he will do my PAP test, but wont look at
my sinus infection or any other problem, he just sends you off to someone else , why would he do a Pap test but nothing else for me. That raised red flags. He just pawns me off on a “specialist” for every problem I have. So what is it they are really good for?
I'm not a doctor, but I am a health care provider and I specialize in women's health/reproductive health. General practitioners ("GP") send patients to me who have reproductive issues that are beyond their scope of practice or knowledge because I probably know more about reproductive bits than they do. It doesn't take much medical knowledge to collect a pap, a GP can easily do it, but it could require an ENT or other such specialist to deal with certain kinds or severities of sinus infections, which may be why your GP refers you out for it. On the other hand, a GP knows much more about primary care than I do and that's why they know what blood tests to order for a yearly physical. If a patient came to me looking for basic primary care, I'd send them to a GP or family doctor because I am not well versed in that area of medicine. So, in short, it might not be that your GP is incompetent, rather that some of your medical needs might be outside their area of expertise.
@@jacklukasewycz1316 He is incompetent, what he does a medical assistant could do. He does nothing but send me out for anything. The sinus infection he didn’t even look in my nose to see if it was really infected. I would think he would at least do that. I just had back surgery on the 8th and have a follow up with the surgeons PA, which I would rather speak to the actual surgeon and know what he saw and did during surgery. Then I have to see my GP, who will ask why I’m there and then he does nothing but type in his computer and sends me on my way. This seems to just cost insurance companies money and raises rates. Doctors who were in private practice used to be so much different, now they all work for companies.
I feel for the guy with the splinter!!
I stepped on a Mesquite tree thorn when I was 10-ish and it went into my heel. My Mom took me to the hospital. They did x-rays to find it (very ineffective with wooden foreign bodies) then started trying to find it visually. They removed about 1/8” of a piece. Three doctors checked for remnants and found nothing so I was sent home. For a month I kept saying that I think there’s a big piece still in there but no one believed me; three doctors checked and I think 4-6 x-rays were taken.
I finally got tired of the pain and took matters into my own hands (do NOT do this yourself)…cleaned the area with alcohol and boiled the pocket knife (I know now how that’s not what to do but I was only 10-ish at the time). I made a small cut above where I felt it and then squeezed below it. I measured the price of thorn against a ruler and it was 1.25” long. I showed my Mom the thorn when she got home to prove I wasn’t lying and that it was out. I didn’t limp anymore after that; at least til my next injury. My Mom was FLOORED when she saw how much had been missed but wood, especially a splinter or thorn, doesn’t show up on an x-ray very well.
Doesn't stop doctors from ordering x-rays to try and find it, tho
@@Absbabs88 I think they were hoping for a bigger piece that could be seen. Plus the foot has a lot of areas difficult to view. Lol!
I love that you have confirmed that a vagina isn't suppose to smell like rainbows and butterflies. Thank you!!😂❤
But if I eat fish it most certainly smells fishy, so that part I was kinda like "dude, are you seriously trying to mansplain what vaginas smell like to someone who has one?? because... you're just wrong."
@@mazzy2121 you're believing tik tok, over a registered medical professional, just because he's a man, and u have one?... yes it shouldn't smell like roses, but it shouldn't smell terrible either...
@Mazzy Black This isn't mansplaining. He is literally a family medicine DOCTOR who has seen multiple cases of vaginal odour or anything related to the vagina over the years. Obviously he knows more than you or me (even though we are women). Being a woman doesn't nake you a expert on women's health. I am not saying your vagina doesn't smell like a fish but you cannot be sure that it is because you are eating fish. Go see a gynecologist please.
Plus , Dr McHottie probably knows his was around the female body.. at least if that is what he is into. Not judging.... 😂😂
@@The_Red_Wake No I have to agree with Mazzy. If I eat fish, it does smell fishy, only for a few hours but it does. It's the same with anything smoked, like meat or sausage, it smells like the smoke. I'm not lying, I'll swear on anything.
My mom had this patient who could control his blood pressure to a degree (as well as how loud or quiet it could be). He played tricks on the nurses all the time when they tried to take his BP. He would always laugh to himself when my mom would take his BP because she immediately knew when he was messing with her.
What do you mean by how loud?
@@chocolatecharley99 maybe his heart pumping?......
I can to a degree. I can elevate and lower my heart rate by 10bpm or so. I have an arrhythmia related to my breathing so if I slow my breathing, I can slow my heart
@@grouch314 everyone can do that lmao, not to a huge extent, but everyone can "manually" raise heart rate with some tricks , what's hard is lowering it a lot than your average while awake and at rest
@@grouch314 i agree, we all can do that, the heart adjusts to low oxygen intake, not special
3:54 I would ACTUALLY be in the hospital and die from that spicyness I do NOT know how some people can do this

Dr. Mike, 2021😂😂😂
strangely, even though I eat a lot (and I mean a LOT) of spicy food (uh, except for date nights), I've never had that experience
@@Serenity_Dee right?! I eat everything really spicy and that still hasn't happened but i hope it's not coming for me😂
@@Serenity_Dee same i eat sambal oelek sauce (ground up chilli seeds) with almost everything and i never had a problem, maybe we are just superior 😂
It's all about the stickers, especially because I had a panic attack in a doctor's office because of vaccines. I got 7 stickers afterwards and it was amazing. The stickers are the best part.
Doc Mike is the reason why I wanna be a doctor. And currently proudly say that I am 1st year medical student here in Arkhangelsk, 🇷🇺
🥳🤡
Good luck mate
congrats!
Congratulations and Good Luck!! 🎉🥳🍾
Dude, that is insanity good job and good luck my guy and i send best wishes

Hi Mike 🙂 I also have hypo mobility in my leg joints and it makes me happy to see that there is at least someone who doesn’t react with “that’s weird!!!”
does it hurt?
Do you mean hypermobility? Because hypo means low and hyper means high.
@@DehimVerveen they might be fat af
I used to be able to do that.. I would gross out my friends by flipping both feet up and walking on my knees
Same here, I can do the same exact thing as her, happy to know I’m not the only one
I love Dr Mike's infectious positivity and enthusiasm!. Love how doctor mike can teach us but be entertaining.
Okay, that last video of the precious baby talking about how much fun she had at the doctor is the cutest thing EVER!
I agree! I also love the girl with the toy duck! Awwww!
🙂
Merry Xmas all. 🙂
My son had the most amazing nurse for his vaccinations, she created the best environment and he didn’t cry at all, was pretty much pushing me out the door for his next visit and still asks me regularly if we can go back to the “ drs house” 😂
the way bones reconstruct is so cool! the bone gets even thicker to prevent further injury. crazy how our bodies can not only rebuild its foundation but also make it even stronger.
My 3 kids had SUCH different reactions to doctor's appointments when they were small.
My oldest acted like the doctor was a weirdo. She stared at him like he was a freak. 'You want to what?' After an appointment, she didn't want to talk about it. She's 17 yo and never had anything worse than a cold. Not even the flu.
My middle child thought our doctor was wonderful and he just couldn't wait to go back! He was born premature and has never had an issue with needles. He's always been so chill about it. He has epilepsy and he's just so easy going and laughs so easily.
My youngest child HATED anything medical, doctor included. Shrieked through needles. Sobbed if we had to take him to the ER. Fought medicine. I never knew kids could hate medical stuff starting from as early as the newborn stage.
Given how sick I was as a kid (And I'm still sick all the time...) I can't imagine what my parents would have done if i hated the doctor. I never really cared one way or the other.
Good luck with your youngest.
@@Avrysatos Kind thought but he died of cancer in January 2021. His hatred for medical stuff just made it shittier.
@@runningfromabear8354 I know that it’s been seven months but how are you doing now? I’ve lost many relatives to cancer and people I knew. It’s so horribly sad and not fair. Sometimes I think to myself “what kind of cruel world are we living in”. My condolences go out to you and your family.
Doctor Mike: Knows every medical condition ever
Also Doctor Mike: Doesn't know what Takis are
Yes, LMAO I was looking for this comment, no offense to Doctor Mike, you are awesome keep making videos.
He was born in russia
Takis or some type of hot chips but to me they’re not hot but might be two other people they’re hot but they’re usually not hot so Dr. Mike now you know what talkies are
I was looking for this comment 😭
@iansanders728 . Some type of hot chip? They are usually chili lime flavored but there's habanero lime, a spicy sweet chili one, a guacamole one, a cheese one, and some others. I saw a zombie themed one once. Also there's blue ones
@DoctorMike if u see this comment know that ur one of my favorite youtubers out there in the dangerous world where u can easily get hurt. thats why we need u. ❤

The splinter one actually made me kind of giggle. Only because I had something similar happen. But it was a shard of glass. Went to work, went on a 3km midnight walk, came home and… nursing roommate was staring wide-eyed at my foot. After getting me to sit down, we realized I had a bloody blister (like a normal blister, but all red) and she decided, “I’m going to try and solve this.” A good while later, she’d lanced and drained the blister, and spotted the glass. Can’t recall how she got it out (she had me distracted with Top Gear) but I had to call off work the next day. I wasn’t able to put weight in my foot
7:50 If I had to take a guess, I would say that she needs to intake more protein but the allergies and sensitivities prevent her from getting that protein from her vegetarian diet.
Edit: Vegan diet, whatever.
