Doctor Breaks Down Medical Science in IRON MAN 3 | Doctor Reacts

As a guy who has struggled with severe anxiety in the past, the depiction of what happens during a severe panic attack in this movie is honestly one of the most realistic I’ve seen. How it comes out of nowhere, the not being able to stand still and the breathless feeling, and how distractions can help. It’s not something that’s easy to nail. Especially in a superhero movie.

oh the doctors know this. but they can only diagnose based on what you tell them in the first place. if you only give up physical symptoms then you only get a physical fix. a lot of the time people think "i had bad doctors, and after years and years i finally found a good doctor" but what it probably most likly is, is that as time goes on you get more and more frustrated. you share more and more about what is actually causing the problem. stuff the first "bad" doctors didnt have access to. so after years of that, giving the next doctor a little bit more to work with, people get a "good" doctor. even the best mechanics cant fix your car if the only thing you let them fix is the fact you havn't changed your oil at all.

@@foxboy64 Sadly this isn't always the case. I've found that usually it is a "bad" doctor or one that just doesn't care and doesn't want to really treat patients or help them and so they just keep writing out pill scripts to avoid doing any actual work. I've gotten nothing but these kinds of doctors or doctors that have decided that I'm seeking attention and/or drugs and so they refuse to help me at all. It took me 5 years and an appointment with a telehealth doctor to get effective medication for my migraines of all things even though I gave lots of information as I lived with them for over ten years.

[@thomasmalkin6821]

A video I’m sure a lot of us were excited for after your first Iron Man video. I’m glad you went into as much depth with PTSD being shown in the film as it deserved! An entertaining video as always, Dr. Hope, and I love forward to your future videos too whether they are Marvel related or medical in general! A question for you: Do you think Tony still has his PTSD symptoms in all future Marvel films or do you think after this film uses the plot point his disorder suddenly disappears? Interested to know your thoughts.

[@ReallyKeepingFictional]

I like to think the disorder was downplayed, but not gone after this movie. And then it got supercharged when he heard those soul-crushing words "Mr. Stark, I don't feel so good."

[@thomasmalkin6821]

Lord Lycan Definitely. You can almost see him having flashbacks to New York in Endgame, especially when you see the final battle. I understand why they downplayed it, but also would have been interesting to see them implement his trouble into the team-up films!

[@sleptwarrior6604]

I don't specifically know PTSD but with my first hand experience with Generalized Anxiety Disorder and some acute Panic Attacks. The anxiety/emotions/thoughts maybe constantly there but not always on a outbreak level, most of the time it's at "I'm kinda worry" level and do not peak until something happened or you thinking about something happened/will happen.

[@norge0209]

I’ve had PTSD for 24 years, and it never goes away, even if the symptoms do. It still shows up on brain scans. However, as others have said, I would say Tony still suffers symptoms from the PTSD, as it was made worse by the event in New York, which bothers him until Endgame. Even though his “dream” from Wanda came from the Mind Stone, it seems to have affected him much more than any of the other Avengers, likely because he never really dealt with his original PTSD trigger.

[@nickthx1138]

Great video! One thing at the end is that they use a magnet to attract the shrapnel, I think this was done for example in Ww2 to literally extract shrapnel directly out of patients.

[@BexREB]

Thanks for doing the PTSD discussion for Iron Man 3. Honestly I loved that they portrayed a part of it and RDJ is such a stellar actor that I think even people without ptsd can feel that stress. My PTSD is mainly flashbacks, hyper vigilance side of things Luckily not the aggression part. When I was diagnosed I'd already been living with it for over 10 years and because I'm currently trying to recover from multiple hip surgeries it's not been a priority to deal with it because of the concern that the EMDR could make me worse initially and I'm struggling enough to keep up due to the difficult and very painful recovery process for my hip. I honestly don't know how much of my not sleeping for days and vigilance stuff is influenced by the pain from my hip. I had always struggled to sleep ever since about 3weeks after the incident that initiated the symptoms I now know were PTSD related. But it's gotten worse since I got hurt and had surgeries to correct the damage. My trigger responses are as bad as ever. I can talk about what happened without triggering the flashbacks but if I see images related to panic underwater, or anything like someone strangling someone or holding a knife to their throat or if someone (even myself) touches the front of my neck it's immediate flashes. It even happened when my mum accidentally touched the left side of my neck I literally jumped back and was shaking so bad as the images went through my head, I really scared her cause she knows what happens but hasn't seen it that bad before. Very long message but felt the need to say thank you. I just wish I knew what was pure ptsd symptoms and how much was the pain causing me not to sleep etc. Anyway thanks again :)

[@wombatpandaa9774]

I feel like I should elaborate on something he covers a bit. People can experience panic attack-like symptoms from physical disorders as well as mental ones. My sister has been diagnosed with a somewhat rare disorder called postural orthostatic tachycardia syndrome, often shortened to POTS, as well as Ehrlos-Danlos Syndrome (EDS), and other malnormities. She often in the past experienced what appeared to be a panic attack, but wasn't traceable back to any mental trauma. Doctors and my family were confused until specialists were able to diagnose her with POTS, a condition of the circulatory system which causes the blood to not reach the brain as quickly as usual, and thus starts a loop of anxiety/panic attack-like symptoms to occur. Changes in her diet, an exercise regimen including aerobics and therapy, and very careful management of when she allows herself to be active have transformed her life from an anxious mess to a functioning young adult with bright prospects. Now, I'm not saying that all anxiety disorders are really POTS or another similar disoderder in disguise. Mental disorders are serious and real conditions, and need to be treated as such. But I will say that everyone should listen to their body, get multiple opinions from multiple doctors if they need it, and make sure to not rule any treatments out until you've tried them. There's still a lot we don't understand about the body, and that means doctors can still be wrong sometimes. I hope this helps someone. 😁

Hence one of the diagnostic criteria listed was to rule out other medical conditions first.

[@windhelmguard5295]

my brother had one of those patient operated morphine pumps when he tore his anterior cruciate ligament, during surgery some sort of infection got in there which, combined with the fact that my brother did a lot of drugs back in the day, rendered other pain killers ineffective. according to what my brother said it's impossible to overdose with one of those because it'll knock you out before you can push the button too often. he also said that morphine doesn't actually make the pain go away, as he said: "the pain is still there, but it doesn't bother you anymore."

I like how they are starting to show how superheroes are affected by mental health, because they honestly deal with a load of stuff that would impact their lives daily. Haven't seen Endgame yet, not the greatest fan of Stark's character but I think he's had the best development throughout the MCU series. You mentioning about doctors giving pills and not regarding mental health and treatment. I spent a long time with my local GP who just threw pills at me because of my "depression" and sent me to a mental health team that was really incompetent. I eventually refused to take the pills because there was no sign of improvement. After perseverance of trying to get help, though not PTSD I got a diagnosis couple of years ago (prefer not to say what) and have had more help since and lately started therapy at last. It just shows that there are doctors who still believe that pills solve a lot of problems (particularly with mental health), and my GP is one of them.

[@pattheman3686]

I'm not sure how medically accruate it is, but from what I understand of the Original Iron Man comics, the shrapnel was actually pressing against his heart and with no sterile environment or a cardio surgeon within miles Tony Constructed a cest plat that would magnetically pull the shrapnel away from his heart. Mind you this was the Originals Comics where Tony had a huge contraption like a vest, rather than a small arc reactor. Once he returned to his life, it was said that if he removed the chest plate the reaction of suddenly stopping the magnet would send the shrapnel "rapidly" into his heart and there were no surgeons who would risk that. Of course as Iron Man evolved in comics the huge ves got replaced with the arc reactor.

In the MCU, the super soldier arms race was going on since WWII, which came to light in Incredible Hulk, Iron Man 2, and the Avengers. Not to mention that Stark Industries was an arms manufacturer up to the first Iron Man film.

Harley: Do you have PTSD? Tony: I don’t think so. Dr. Hope: *I do!*

watching your videos always makes me feel at peace. thanks for being you, Dr. Hope 😃

[@BelgorathTheSorcerer]

I'm never going to be able to watch this movie without the giggles ever again. I'm going to be picturing the bad guys dropping trou and shooting fiarrhea out the bum now. Thanks for that Dr. Hope. I've heard laughter is the best medicine, and you just gave me a lifetime prescription.

One possible explanation for the lateness of the shrapnel surgery is that everything done in the cave made it riskier to remove the arc reactor unit altogether because it occupied such a large part of his chest cavity. Then in Iron Man 3, Extremis came along and they were able to modify it to promote Tony healing from a surgery to remove the shrapnel and the arc reactor unit.

Exactly

Unless I'm mistaken this is the first time you've introduced yourself as a Teaching Fellow as well as a junior doctor. So congrats on the promotion (im assuming a teaching fellowship is a promotion thing)

[@HarrisonMartin]

Please keep these coming! I've missed them!

[@theLOSTranger234]

you should take a look at Arnold Schwarzenegger and Danny Devito movies "junior" or "twins" also- since a few medial scenes shows people scrubing up and getting sterilized THEN putting the mask on *cough*Dr.Strange*cough* maybe do a video showing the proper way of prepping for a surgery? (if you ever did some kind of surgery before or not?)

Great presentation. I have indeed subscribed. Regarding the PCA in the ICU scene; many PCA pumps have an continuous infusion mode which is more likely in a sedated and ventilated patient. :)

Amazing review as always, Dr.Hope. Great way of ending the work day and relaxing at home as well as to learn new and fun pieces of information regarding our bodies, history, medicine and even interpersonal relationships. Always thought that Tony looked a bit nervous in the movie and now i know why he felt so.

[@shadebug]

Woah, woah, woah... has he mentioned teaching fellow before?

[@TheOMGHe]

He has mentioned explaining things to his students in the past, yes.
