[@grzegkruczek]

@doctormike Hi! I just have one thing to clarify. So there is huge difference between freediving (the scene at 12:56 ) and scuba diving. During scuba diving, you are breathing a highly pressurized mix of oxygen with other gases, which increases the solubility of gas in water in your blood. During resurface you are changing the pressure and thus the limit of how much gas can be stored in liquid. Hence, too fast climb creates decompression illness. However, with freediving you are taking breath at normal pressure and this deep breath is not enough to trigger the decompression illness. Therefore, you can resurface as fast as you want without worrying about decompression illness.

[@kirstenirwin9084]

The tight laced pair of stays on Elizabeth drive me crazy! Stays were used to lift the bust, not to restrict the waist. As a child, she would have worn stays to help her posture and keep her back upright. However, stays were never tight laced because the fabric and the lacing wouldn't be able to hold, and they would just rip apart. Corsets, which came after stays, were also a foundation garment, and very few women were tight lacing to the extreme. Empress Elisabeth of Austria was so obsessed with staying thin that her doctors were advising her not to tight lace as much, and her corsets had to be replaced often because they can only take so much strain.

[@Nicola_Bailey]

Fun fact: while it's said that the 'arrr' comes from the actor and pirates never actually said it, considering how much pirating went on in the South West of England were the accents are thick and the 'arrr' sound is used in daily speech by the people of that region, it's more than likely that at least some pirates really did say 'arrrr' on a regular basis.

1:53 so this is set in the 1700’s when metal corset eyes hadn’t been invent yet. She wouldn’t have been tight laced like that. It would have destroyed the purely fabric holes in the stays (btw corsets weren’t a thing in the 1700’s it was still stays). Tight lacing became more of a thing only in the ULTRA fashionable set in the 1800’s when metal eyes for corsets became a thing and it was actually possible. When tight lacing, everything you’re saying about restriction is true. But MOST women didn’t do it. It was basically the Kim K’s of the world who did, not the regular folks or the sensible rich/members of the Ton. Remember that the existing ultra small court gowns were likely worn by 15-17 year olds who were first coming out to society. Those gowns were too small to wear as they aged and too small to remake into other gowns which is why so many exist. Just a little fashion history for ya, Doc.

"I can't swim" I agree with Jack's comment about a lot of help that man is in the navy. Corsets,Stays and Binders, when worn correctly, shouldn't impead your internal functions. You are meant to lace just tight enough that it helps with keeping you shaped and steady. You should only wear them for a set time period and rest between use. You need to make sure that just like a modern bra, there are certain objects that fit your frame better than others. So while someone might be able to use a corset, others need to use a binder or a gurtel.

It is remarkably difficult to get the bends when freediving, only a few of the very best divers have ever had minor symptoms. The reason for this is you aren't breathing compressed gas so the gas can't build up. The reason the best freedivers in the world can get the bends is because they dive more frequently and when at depth the weight of the water above compresses the air in your lungs enough that when you metabolize it into your blood it basically counts as compressed air. But you have to be crazy deep for that to be an issue. Like 200 plus meters under water.

Historical note: the barrel kicking and trapdoor hanging were fairly late inventions and mostly done by British nationals. In other countries, they didn't try to break the neck, but strangle them (either with a noose or garotte). It was meant to be slow and an ugly death as a deterrent! The corpses were left to rot in place and if you remove it without permit, you can hang right next to it! As a fun fact: it was a superstition that the soul leaves the body through the mouth or nose. Thus, if your hanging, what opening leaves this?

Hey, Dr. Mike 😃 Would you ever consider making a short on how to perform proper chest compressions? I know you've shown us a hundred times in videos. But at the moment of emergency, it would be nice to know I have a quick short saved in a playlist if I need a refresher. So I can confidently refresh someone's life 😅

[@GogiRegion]

I agree! We got taught it in my school, but it would be awesome for people who didn't get that, plus a nice refresher for those who did. We also never talked about when you did and didn't need rescue breaths in my school nor when I had to do training in the scouts. A previous Dr. Mike video taught me that one. I just learned that they weren't necessary, but that if your lifeguard training says to do it then you should (which I just interpreted as lifeguard trainings were outdated based on the way they talked about it). I feel like assuming there's always a trained lifeguard any time someone is drowning is a bit irresponsible, especially with how many pools are adult supervision based.

[@lizbecker1677]

@@GogiRegion This is a great suggestion. I'm trained in CPR, and I'm amazed at how medical dramas always show the doc's doing CPR so bad! It would be great see a demonstration of the correct way. Also, an explanation of when to give rescue breaths would be great. My training never included drowning rescue, so I never knew that drowning victims received breaths, too.

as a reptile enthusiasts I can say, in reality that one is not venomous it's a variable king snake or a scarlet snake BUT in the movie I think it's supposed to be the coral snake which is venomous yet not deadly from my understandings but they're also not common to see, all snakes are very shy and little ones like this one and who like the water they're even more rare to see. beautiful creatures.

They gave oranges, though for the most part they would add lime to their grog (water and rum, for cleaner water source) hence why sailors got a ration of rum, mostly used to dilute in water in order to get water, the alcohol would kill the bacteria and the water obviously would keep em hydrated and lime for the vitamine C

[@SrslyBored1]

That snake is not venomous. It is mimicking red colours off venomous snakes to protect itself. Best way to remember is the colours. Red touches black, friend of Jack. Red touches yellow, you're a dead fellow ;) Red touched black on the pattern of that. Harmless (minus the sharp teeth bit).

[@Conorator]

Don't be fooled. Meddling with any creature colored red and black is more of a risk than you think. The South American coral snake may have stripes in a pattern where red touches black, but it remains venomous.

[@Vero-nn4hq]

I'm sure they used a non-venomous snake for the safety of the actors and crew, but this children's rhyme is not foolproof at all. It's based on the normal coloration of coral snakes in southeast US, ignoring individual variations. And even within North America some coral snakes deviate from this as a species and globally it cannot be trusted at all. Your safest bet is always to keep your distance from brightly colored animals.

[@mikebrownphotography2784]

Was about to comment on "is that a poisoness one?" when Doctor Mike corrected himself!

[@Ticktacktoe2]

13:20 I believe that the bends only apply if you are breathing in oxygen / oxygen mix on your way down and then need to decompress while resurfacing. If you are free diving / holding in one breath then you are not providing your blood with new oxygen and therefore don't need to decompress on the ascent. My understanding is that you just don't want to do this too frequently.

1:44 that's not a corset she would have worn in that time period AND she wouldn't likely have been tight laced in it like that in that period either. Doctor Mike, you need to catch up on some corset history with Abby Cox. You are perpetuating common misconceptions that corsetry was all like this "back then" as you phrased it and that making it so extremely, organ squeezingly tight was normal too. Yes, there were some but not most. (FYI I love your stuff so I'm sorry if I sound gruff. This is just a triggering issue to me for some reason. Final note: you have no idea how angry I was when I first saw this scene; much younger me was far too knee-jerk reactionary and left the theater until I calmed down.)

13:06 Dr Mike, you’re thinking of a drysuit. Wetsuits work by trapping the water in between your body and your body keeps it warm, whereas dry suits don’t let any water in and keep you warm with air and clothing, which you need to add air into in order to prevent a drysuit squeeze
