TikToks That Scare Me As A Doctor

[@darthplagueis13]

As someone whose dad is a veterinarian, "horses are the healthiest animal" absolutely cracks me up. We are talking about an animal that loves to eat oats, will immediately overdose on oats if it is allowed to eat as much as it wants, and will fall miserably ill and possibly even die if it overdoses on oats. Horses are infamous for catching a colic if the wrong kind of plant even so much as looked at their food, and for also dying from colic. Perks of being an animal that famously cannot vomit, I guess. It feels like there's a thousand different diseases that can kill a horse and 990 of them are various forms of indigestion. Fact of the matter is, horses were an incredibly unlikely animal to be domesticated. They are built to spend their life in large herds roaming across wide plains and meadows, and the way they live in captivity is basically the opposite of their natural way of life and as a result of this, if they eat anything wrong or they get stressed or anything else isn't optimal, their bodies are basically hardwired to pick "get absolutely miserable and maybe also die" as the preferred reaction.

KZbin has a bunch of hoof trimming videos of both cows and horses, and the comments have told me that the same condition leads to a slightly annoyed cow or a dead horse.

@@Cashhhhew I'm just tossing this guess out there off the top of my head, but I feel like way back before vet medicine got more sophisticated, if anything went even slightly wrong with a horse, you'd just euthanize it. So people had this survivorship bias that all horses were extremely healthy, because they never saw an unhealthy horse, because any horses that became unhealthy would die so quickly. Alternatively, it started out as a joke but as people became less rural, they didn't realize that horses are not healthy and took it at face value.

There is now a machine I’ve seen that basically takes an ultrasound of the area of an arm/body where the IV needs to be put, then it projects the image very accurately onto the patients body so that not only can we feel the vein, but we can see it. It tells you the best place to insert the cannula/the most patent positions. I would NEVER trust a machine to put the IVC in, it cannot take into account the patients comfort/pain/movement. But a machine that helps guide a clinician inserting an IVC is really cool and I’d use it.

A lot of conspiracy theorists latch on to conspiracies as a way of making the random arbitrariness of life seem less random and arbitrary. It is possible that he did have someone in his life who had cancer but rather than accept that bad stuff happens that we don't have any control over, his method of coping was to decide that he does have control over it because all the doctors were wrong and only he knows how to fix it. A lot of health and religious movements start like that, especially in the 1800s. Someone with chronic health problems that aren't treatable by modern medicine comes up with some nonsense miracle cure that they think makes them feel better, then founds their own clinic selling their cure to other people.

Because it isn't true? Cancer is the failure of several suicide / shutoff genes in combination with rapid cell division. The only way it can relate to toxins is when those toxins produce DNA damage. Also those "toxins" that build up, so you make a detox, are non existent. Fasting can help clear away unused stuff by autophagy (your body eats itself), but those are not toxins.

Regarding ads reporting huge lists of side effects for medications: I read an article that said that these companies are legally required to report ALL/ANY symptoms reported by test subjects. So if ONE person during the clinical trials had diarrhea at any point during the study, they are legally required to include it as a “possible side effect.” Even though they probably only had diarrhea because of the Taco Bell they ate the night before.

[@Quarrenn17]

Yes, because if they don’t and someone has it while taking the medication they can sue them over it. It’s pretty dumb and creates undo anxiety for everyone else, but sadly in our society they have to do it. This is why we see so many medications with “death” listed as a side-effect. If someone just happened to die during its use, even if it had no connection to the medication at all, they still have to put it down. (Which understandably means a lot of meds list death, because it happens very randomly sometimes)

(No, I'm not diabetic and I have zero allergies or diet restrictions) Including fructose, wich is in fruites and veggies, so he basicaly wanted me to stop eating any veggies or fruite. Of course I disobeyed, because I love fruites and veggies and I'm not dumb enough to get scurvy or something. -.- And he "knew" that I had this fungus from just looking at me. He didn't do an x-ray or an ultrasound or take any blood/saliva/urin/etc.-samples or use a stethoscope or did anything that would actually help him look into my body. Edit: Sorry for my bad english.

[@Yavanna79]

The doctor you describe should not even be called a doctor when she/he is clearly a quack.

[@MichaelHarper-o9o]

Thank you thank you thank you. You are THE BEST online educator that I have come across. Your passion and compassion are positively heart warming. I am incredibly grateful for your stand against pseudoscience and its proliferation on social media platforms and I share your frustration. I once had a cup with a cartoon style painting on it of an elephant on the ground with turkeys clambering all over it and the caption ‘Don’t let the turkeys get you down’! Keep up the wonderful work that you do and don’t let the turkeys get you down. Kind regards Mick from Aus.

[@problemsfan4132]

"Horses are the healthiest animal" half my knowledge about horses is from jokes about how fragile they are. what universe are these people from?

[@ellib467]

I think they are referencing the old saying “healthy as a horse”. Definitely a fragile animal though.

[@SANDYXD143]

6:46 no way in hell would i let that machine take my blood

[@michaelc6184]

“THAT HURTS” RIP mikes sanity

[@bryanbruggeman8357]

0:35 He got kind of scared when he started approaching the apples lmao... Are doctors really that affraid of apples

[@virgofairy88]

The lamb chop clip made me chuckle. I can picture Bear destroying toys-he’s too cute. One of my two standard schnauzers loves ripping apart his toys and within a week of getting his first lamb chop, he ripped out all the squeakers and stuffing and tried to shred the squeakers. He has been much nicer to his Easter bunny lamb chop.

[@Anthony-stama]

Same I was not expecting to see Teddy in this video

[@RealMoukeycat]

10:09 where do you find someone with four arms to rub you?

[@beegpatty_rl]

forearm

[@rafertieslorekeeper5771]

I saw this on last night actually. I wanted him to add on the Cranberry juice a disclaimer "If you're NOT on medications that say to avoid it." I'm on one of them, and I can so imagine someone not knowing or paying attention and getting hurt.

[@jakepullman4914]

Grapefruit juice is worse. It interacts with so many medications I wonder if it's just safer for no one to eat them.

[@Muffinzeshlongun]

Your doctor seems like a fun guy... I'll see myself out

[@aoifedeborha2420]

I can’t believe he skipped over Elle Cordova’s side effects beat 😂 Thanks Dr. Mike, great content as always (((:

Me to - it was about to get very interesting 😂😂

All of her is good

8:48 this guy got too high off shrooms one day and thought he had everything figured out

[@DanaandMillie4ever]

6:41 I once went into the ER with asthma attack and they did an IV but that machine doesn't look safe for giving an IV

[@kristimarie9523]

I teach a Dental Assistant class and I can not stress enough the dangers of crocs.. my heavens the amount of injuries that have occurred with instruments stabbing individuals in the foot.

[@caravaneerkhed]

As someone with a hyper mobility disorder… I can get injured from sleeping weird.. so yea not smart to do party tricks like the scorpion king there.

[@Upstaged07]

I don't know about the IV machine. I once had a nursing student stick a needle completely THROUGH my vein. She and a nurse were standing outside my room at the ER and I heard the nurse trying to psych her up "Just be confident. Go in there and say Hi, I'm here to start your IV". I was praying they were not actually coming in to MY room. Unfortunately they did. I should also mention that I had a kidney stone at the time and I was already writhing in agony. Which I forgot about momentarily when she skewered my arm. 😫Most experienced nurses have trouble finding a vein on me! Why they thought it would be a good idea to let this girl practice on someone with no visible arm veins and in very obvious horrific pain is beyond me. I would 100% choose the machine! 😂

[@jakepullman4914]

My main concern is, if the machine misses or starts hurting you, does it understand to stop? If I saw this in a clinic, though, I'd give it a shot. Or... it would give me one.

[@Freeyourself206]

Going through a vein is not that big of a deal, when looking for a vein, we are trained to do it by touch not by sight. The fact you have no visible veins is not a big deal at all as they feel for a vein. You can feel veins deep down that can’t be seen. Truly, none of that is a big deal at all.

[@kevinbarnard355]

For future reference, it's PERFECTLY acceptable to tell a nurse or nursing assistant that you'd prefer someone with more experience to do the procedure. You can expound on it if you like, but learning by doing still involves consent. When you know you have a history of experienced professionals having a hard time doing something, you or your advocate should ask for the veteran.

[@KellyAnn2390]

10:51 is a parody of podcasts. I love the stuff these guys make. They're 10000% not serious.

[@tazzyanderson1192]

1:00 Whenever I give a friend cranberry juice or see them drinking it I always say it's good for your uterus, whether male or female. My friends are used to me not shying away from medical terminology or facts and take the jokes well, but one time I was saying goodbye to my male friend through a gate. I said cranberry juice is good for his uterus and a female jogger happened to jog by and burst out laughing. She was in no way breathless before, but after she heard me she could barely breathe. I like to think I made her day and gave her a nice ab workout. 😊

[@vyrm1391]

The dude saying "No, you're wrong!" At the end is getting my blood boiling. You are telling a DOCTOR, that smoking is good for you. Are you insane?

[@AnomalousNormie]

Dr. Mike trying to diagnose the CGI was so precious!

[@OGVAPEX]

Mike: “try and spell abscess right now I dare you” The subtitles: “I got you bro😎”

[@notxLlamax]

7:49 I felt that pain through the screen. That guy has probably ended his bloodline from those punches. RIP Dr mikes sanity

[@drm.himself]

He's probably getting punched on the buttocks.

[@galaxyanimal]

It doesn't actually look like he's actually getting hit in the scrotum based on the way his legs are. It looks more like he's getting hit in the bottom of his butt.

[@elliottmcleandeboer]

8:41 just wait till this guy learns about metastasis

[@user-fg4tn8ot6b]

Wait until he learns about _teratoma._ 🙂

[@Controversy-333]

“Yeah ‘cause they die of ten other diseases beforehand” 💀

[@123feuerschwein]

6:49 rather than that … I would do the i.V by myself 😂

[@galwaveyael5422]

Hi Dr Mike, I had a UTI a few years ago and took a extract of cranberry powder in water every day. As well as drank cranberry juice and it helped me a lot. I even skipped a few days and found that the symptoms got worse. Obviously that’s just what worked for me of course👍🏼

[@loggicc5465]

i recently had a uti and had a similar experience. the burn was so bad and i found out that cranberry juice helps, i don't think cranberry juice cures a uti but im rlly certain that it helps ease the symptoms like burning and stuf

[@adritisengupta]

Me- *Decides not to watch anything more painful today after watching Final Destination all parts* *Saw Doctor Mike uploaded new video* *First clip* Me-💀 Doctor Mike- *PEEWOOP*

The "I can either be sad and be a doctor or I can be sad and not a doctor" is so real for any passion. I hate writing but the only thing I hate more is not writing

[@JaneyLuWhipxach]

I saw an ad for a medication that helps you sleep and on the list of side effects was ' trouble sleeping'. What? Love your videos Doctor Mike!

[@chronically_kyra]

That reminds me of antidepressants, because common side effects include worsening depression and s*icidal thoughts

[@Ike_Laja]

10:47 there’s disease called elephantiasis here in Nigeria. I used to see beggars on the roads with it a lot as a kid. Actually it’s quite common here. And it causes limbs to swell up like just that. Maybe check it up “elephantiasis” thqt May be what he’s got

[@hadla]

There’s no way he would have gotten his hands into the sleeves of the jacket!

[@PeacefulAutistic]

2:58 My scoliosis ridden and arthritic back hurt so much when he was just starting to bend. Also abscess. Boom nailed it!

I have been addicted to watching your videos for four days.... no regrets.

I actually did something exactly like that First Lady when I was on the playground as a child. Worst pain I’ve EVER felt.

Same here! I've felt worse pain, but that's still near the top.
