TikToks Your Doctor Warned You About

[@HeyV63]

I LOVED your reaction to the cayenne pepper lady. I'm right there with you it makes my blood boil to no end to see people spread their stupidity like wildfire.

[@nxcrorat]

Exactly! And another thing that pisses me off is that there's no balance in these kinds of opinion Like, if you have a mild migraine and apply peppermint oil, since it's a really pungent herb, that will stimulate blood flow and help a little Does it make it a blood thinner that can save you from life-threatening conditions? Absolutely not, take your meds Like arnica gel for sore muscles, it's natural and it works but if you're experiencing calcification then you're gonna need much more than that😭 I wish there were more balance simply to avoid becoming collectively immune to most antibiotics and such, my mother's a nurse and she raised me like that Edit: Mike is also suggesting natural things at 6:01 so that makes me feel happier about my comment XD

[@LeviAckerman096]

What makes it even worse, is that some people might genuinely believe that "information" and people could die a very preventable death because of it. It makes me sick, these people don't even think about what kind of harm they're causing.

That first segment reminded me of something I was told once, when I was feeling disheartened by the low success rate of CPR outside of the hospital. You don't give CPR to a living person, you give CPR to a corpse. 10% success rate starts to look pretty good when you're talking about straight-up mugging the Grim Reaper to steal back someone's soul.

Glad that you mentioned the hypoglycemic possibility. I had a scare when i was 14 or 15 where my parents rushed me to the hospital because they thought I was having a stroke. The hospital, oddly enough, ever checked my blood sugar. It took four people, thirty minutes, and six poke for two IVs, and the never checked my blood sugar. When I was discharged, they said it was a migraine and dehydration. The real issue? My blood sugar was way too low.

Specifically responding to the left side under breast pain - I grew up in a hispanic household and my mom always told me that was caused by some trapped gas (basically I needed to burp or fart) - long story short I had pain similar to that for about 4 days and couldn't take a deep breath because of the pain. Urgent care said it was a muscle related issue and gave me muscle relaxers. A couple of hours later the pain was so intense that I went to the emergency room because I knew something else was wrong. After a contrast they found I had a pulmonary embolism (blood clot in my lung) and deduced that it was caused by the hormones in my birth control.

I caught dysentery in South America once & totally see how people die from it. After 2 days I thought it was a definite possibility I could die. When I went to the hospital and they started me on a drip I could feel the life force coming back into me (despite still feeling like death). After a day the dehydration has a huge impact on you and there is nothing you can do to fix it bc when you drink it either triggers your body to throw it back up or you immediately run to the toilet because of diarrhea. You have about 10 seconds to get to a toilet when you feel diarrhea coming on. It’s that bad. Your guts gurgle like a waterfall and it’s so watery you can’t hold it in. Even thinking about it now is making me shudder. Edit: I caught c-diff from having to take antibiotics for a long stretch bc I was a carrier for strep. As bad as c-diff is I still had about a minute to make it to the toilet when I felt diarrhea coming on. The dysentery diarrhea was worse. The difference was dysentery weakens & your body fights it off (hopefully before dehydration kills you) while c-diff only gets worse and will kill you. I had to take 2 courses of phlagyl twice and it came back within a day then took vancomycin which thankfully cured it bc this was before they had the fecal transplant treatment. If it hadn’t worked I would’ve been in big trouble and probably died.

Just from a physics standpoint, the idea behind bungee jumping is that the cable is elastic enough that you don't get substantially jerked. You're in freefall when the rope is slack, but when you reach the end of the rope, much like a rubber band, it stretches - a LOT - and you get gradually slowed down (or at least, significantly more gradually than gravitational acceleration). If there's equipment failure of course the outcome is rather different, but that's pretty rare and mostly avoidable with proper maintenance.

I had a similar episode, five years ago. Trying to get a customer’s order in at register (Starbucks barista). Customer asks, “Hey, are you okay?” I guess all the color just left my face, but I did start wobbling. Manager catches me, and tells me to, “Sit down, do a check. I’m getting you juice.” And, yup… really low blood sugar. Probably should not have been awake at that point

thank you so much for fighting the endless misinformation. i’ve been diagnosed with celiacs a year ago and it’s easy to believe anyone who says that something will help dramatically. you might even do it, not believing it works, but on the off chance it’ll do something positive you’ll try it. especially when your doctors don’t help like you need which has been my case, you become even more desperate and vulnerable.

Concerning precordial catch syndrome, I used to get this ALL THE TIME! Even now nearing middle age I still get it at least a few times a year. I'd get about a third of a breath and get hit by a stabbing pain and be unable to breathe in further. For me I found the best way to deal with it was to force the issue and breath in hard. I'd hit the 1/3rd mark and then as I passed it I would feel this intense pain(9-9.5 out of 10) and then a pop or snap and suddenly the pain would be gone. It was that or shallow breath for hours. I used to have to do this every other week in my 20's and even monthly in my 30's.

[@VictoriaRoseIsNotDeadYet]

I never knew there was a name for it until now! I’m glad I’m not dying haha

I couldn’t do that, my go-to method has always been shallow breaths and trying to slowly but surely increase the depth. But being real careful and if the pain gets too strong I’d start over basically, how do you force yourself? My body wouldn’t even let me.. 😩

[@chriscross1737]

I've been plagued since I was a kid by a random sharp pain that lasts for only 3-4 seconds on my chest, becomes painful when breathing deep, and goes away after breathing much deeper, and never knew what it is. I even had it checked by several doctors. Suddenly I came across this video and I now finally know its name, "Precordial catch syndrome". Thank you so much Dr. Mike!

Dr. Mike is just so entertaining and educational. I'm laughing and learning so much. Today is the first day I ever heard of precordial catch syndrome talked about. I suffered from it for all of my childhood and my doctors shamed me by saying I was faking it to get off school since all my tests were normal. Obviously all my tests would be normal. The problem was with my pleura. Anyway, I only learned about it while prepping for my USMLE exams and I was so shocked and heartbroken at the same time. Dr. Mike is really an amazing person and the best doctor. He is smart, intelligent and charming too. I would trust him with everything.

I once looked up the ingredients of my favourite flavoured water here in Italy. It's a lemon flavoured water just like a standard lemonade. And one of the ingredients was asorbic acid.

"Dumb" you was also right! In addition to being Vitamin C, it's also used a food preservative! Though citric acid, also natural, is usually used more since it does the same thing, is generally cheaper to produce/extract, and has a more tart/sour taste - what you want for lemon water!

I played professional softball with the Chinese national team and I can confirm that much of eastern medicine is not evidence based. The girls had their own doctors brought over and it would shock you at the misinformation. For example, the women (some of whom had children) had no idea what their menstrual cycle was. They were convinced that if they practiced while on their period they would bleed out and die. They also thought you couldn’t drink milk while on your period or you would bleed out. They were terrified to practice. And there were many many more things like this.
