Doctor Reacts to WILD Medical Tweets

I’ve burnt myself out fact-checking dangerous Facebook and Instagram health posts lately, so today I headed to twitter to have a laugh and check out the funniest medical tweets I could find. As they say, there is always “truth in comedy” and these tweets were no exception. For instance, it’s true, you don’t HAVE to get weighed when you come in for a routine checkup. I also talk about sleep apnea/CPAP machines, as well as weight loss surgery. Bear popped in to say hello too :)
I LOVE reading your comments and take your suggestions seriously. If there’s a subject you want me to discuss or something you’d like for me to react to, leave a comment down below. Many of my videos have been born out of suggestions directly from you, so don’t hold back!

Why places like hospitals and bathrooms are extra echoey: The material they make the floors, walls and ceilings out of are less porous so that they don't absorb stuff like blood or trap germs as well. Porous things would absorb some of the sound, but since the material has little to no pores the sound waves bounce off and are louder and echo more than if some had been absorbed.

[@SashalovesSesshomaru]

I think I would have been much healthy person now if I had someone like you as my pediatrician. My doctor was the kind that didn’t acknowledge anything that I did. I was like 100 pounds over weight in my teenage years so I wanted to exercise and get in shape. I had been walking home from school and walking my dog for like 2 miles each day. Walking home from school was a little less than 4 miles. I would also do yoga at night to relax myself and my muscles before I went to bed. I had lost a lot of body fat and gain muscle. I only had like 30 pounds left to lose to be in shape but I thought I was doing good. So when I went into my next physical exam I was feeling pretty proud. I told the doctor what I was doing for exercise and he weighed me. He then preceded to tell me I should do even more exercise and that I was still overweight. I think it sort of put me in a depression so I stopped most of my exercising. I still walked my dog, but I no longer cared about getting into shape. I now hate going to the doctors and live by the motto, if I die then I die cause I have such a strong phobia of going to the doctors. I literally have to feel like I’m dying to go anywheres near a doctor and that’s only if someone forces me.

Actually... he never said punching pillows is “healthy relief” >> he said that one of his patients said that’s how they deal with their stress, and he said he deals with his own by punching a boxing bag... “to each, their own” >> meaning whatever works for you-helps you calm down and destress-you should do that! And personally, I strongly agree with that... the only thing I can think of that would be unfair or unjust, would be hurting yourself or causing anyone else pain while you are stressed about something going on in your own life.

This past summer I went to the doctor's office. I was in the process of trying to lose weight but I didn't want to get weighed at the doctor's office since I'd just been there two weeks ago. I said something to the nurse and she let me move on, but she gave me an exasperated look when I told her and she seemed really cranky. Part of the reason I took a pass is because I was getting my blood pressure checked and I was worried seeing no change/a small change would make me freak out and increase my blood pressure. This same nurse got annoyed with me when I asked a clarifying question, too.

PATIENT BILL OF RIGHTS. WHY IS DOC MIKE THE ONLY ONE TO MENTION THIS TO ME

[@JonPITBZN]

Probably because the doctors you actually visit just wants things to move as easily and quickly as possible. Dr. Mike doesn't actually have to move you along, so he gains nothing from your ignorance.

[@mz7576]

As a person who use to work as registration in a hospital, we had patients sign two forms yearly. The consent to treat (this usually included a statement that stated doctors had the right to treat every time you came in and that you have rights and responsibilities that are fully listed on hospitals website) and the HIPPA form (privacy rules etc). Our hospital found that because most people threw out their forms that it was a waste of money to print both forms out all the time (total of 5-7 pages each form) . Of course you still had an opportunity to read it we had it readily available on desks and were required to verbally show and ask whether you wanted a copy or to read it. Most people said no. The only time we emphasized that you have rights , at least in the area I worked, was when a patient needed surgery. Then they would sign a extra consent to treat and we would tell the, about guest relations. Patient rights and responsibilities in summary says that doctors will make every effort to give the patient clear instructions and plans and will also respects their patients ultimate decision. While fully complying with hospital rules. Patients have the right to express their concerns ask for clarification and accept or reject drs evaluations. It’s also state that you are responsible for paying bills and giving correct information to the doctor. While fully complying with hospital rules. In general most people know this.

Not a doc (radtech), but if a sense that a patient is feeling pressured (because they're scared of the scan, outcome, overwhelmed or anything) always tell them that they're always free to say no. I do advise them and inform them of the benefits, but just the act of telling them they're in charge is usually enough to earn their trust. One of the easiest pitfalls is assuming patients agree with you. Assuming patients know what you want to do.

Hey, I am a Lab professional and the reason most hospitals are extra squeaky is due to the floors being made so they are "break proof". For example if someone drops a glass vial of blood, CSF, BAL, or other infectious material, the floors are made so that specimen container wont break.

[@aliceokumura6545]

Reasons why hospitals can be echo-ier than other places: the material of flooring and walls need to be easy to clean, and that means less pores. That also means that sound has less places to go and keeps reverberating in the room, creating echoes. I hope that makes sense, english isn't my first language, love your vids 💙

That’s what I was going to say...lots of hard surfaces to reflect/amplify the sound. Very few soft surfaces to absorb it.
