Wish I could of seen Dr. Mike's reaction to Link blinding himself with a laser brush repeatedly after being warned countless times not to shine it in his eyes by Rhett. As dangerous as Link is to everyone in his vicinity, his greatest victim is himself 😢
Interesting that he noted that Link explained the details of his bike fall well enough that Mike was able to figure out it was a clavicle injury before that was revealed. I always noticed Link can tell stories super well
I agree with this. In fact, I think they are both excellent storytellers. Some of my favorite videos of theirs are ones where they just tell stories from when they were younger! My favorite has got to be "The True Story of Link's Broken Pelvis" though.

I had swimmer's ear for years...didn't have health insurance so couldn't do much about it...and after a few years, one day I just leaned my head over on that side, and had a massive wax pileup just fall out of my ear alongside liquid, and suddenly I could hear.
It's awful that you went through that and incredibly sad how awful our healthcare is in the US. I live in Puerto Vallarta, MX, now, and the doctors and medications here are so inexpensive and amazing. I will never live in the US again.
I agree that could be a good one, but I think his team would suggest that because it would just be the same advice for each item and on top of that they clearly have survived it each time!
That red bull/caffeine episode of GMM is hilarious because they legit do go through all those stages throughout the episode culminating in the Rhett is psychic moment. It's very entertaining in a stupid way. Which I suppose is their whole brand come to think about it! Lol.
I'm so proud of these guys. I started watching them when I was 12 and it felt like they were so criminally underrated. Then a couple years later they started GMM and hit the stratosphere
THIS is the kind of doctor we all NEED!!! Also Link's longest pee time and Rhett's telepathic 71 are some of my most memorable moments of GMM!! Much love!!!!
I think they have. That's when it stops being funny and they don't release the footage. Like that time Rhett got bit by a puppy and it chewed on his ear, and he got really mad. They said not release that episode.
@@tizbean ... I think they talked about it in an episode of Ear Biscuits several years ago, I don't entirely recall. They did release that undisclosed episode but in the Mythical Society as an exclusive content.
Thanks to Dr Mike's video that mentioned that a facial wound that doesn't heal is cancer until proven otherwise, I saw my doctor and had basal cell carcinoma surgically removed. It wasn't just a stubborn pimple. Thanks again, Dr. Mike
4:58 when I was 14 they said my blood pressure was so high they wanted me to cut out all salt and see them a month later. When I came back it was still incredibly high. The doctor seemed confused and asked what I had been eating. I had also slimmed down because sports had started up again so it seemed that it should be fine but was alarmingly high. Then he paused and asked what color was the blood pressure cuff. The nurse had used a pediatric cuff and I had stopped growing at 13 and was an absolutely massive 14 year old who was far too big for a pediatric blood pressure cuff.
3:30 Something interesting about this is that I have a 7 month old daughter. She’s currently in the process of learning how to sit and crawl and all that. I was just thinking recently about how we always try to protect our falls with our hands and legs. I was thinking about it because she DOESNT do that. She doesn’t have that instinct to protect her falls. She just hits her head. Which is fascinating to me because that has to be a learned response. Like, most people would say it’s instinctual, but we can observe the fact that it’s not because babies don’t have this instinct. It likely becomes a learned behavior by all the times we fall as kids.
There is a reflex called the parachute reflex, also called forward parachute reaction (FPR), that children should develop between 5-9 months, where babies will instinctively reach their arms out when they realize they’re falling. There is a study that showed that 21% of infants do not show a complete maturity of the FPR and that this also correlates to how fast they learn to walk. (I’m not saying anything is wrong with your child or anyone’s who doesn’t do this, but you should at least bring it up to your pediatrician if you haven’t already. [Development of the forward parachute reaction and the age of walking in near term infants: a longitudinal observational study Domenico MM Romeo, Matteo Cioni, Mariacristina Scoto, Filippo Palermo, Alessandra Pizzardi, Anna Sorge, and Mario G Romeo]
babies and toddlers don’t have their motor skills tuned yet. so it may not be fair to say they don’t have the instincts- they could have it and just be inaccurate performing it. doctors do test babies for something called the Moro reflex, where they’re checking to see if the baby reacts to the feeling of falling. it’s present in all newborns
Link's concussion story is also pretty iconic (True Story of Link's Broken Pelvis, circa 2009, on the Good Mythical Morning Channel). "Hold on, I'm just coming to."😂
Growing up mom always told me “If you can move it it isn’t broken” I have since learned that this is not the case 😂 I broke my wrist a few years ago and didn’t go to the doctors for several months. I’m sorry Dr. Mike 😭
Really fascinating to see Rhett and Link's antics analyzed from a medical perspective. Their wacky RUclips stunts do have potential health risks involved, that's clear. It's a good reminder to take care of our bodies - be it hydration, caffeine intake or just plain safety during our fun and games.
I literally learn so much from watching Dr. Mike. I've, thankfully, never been in a situation where I've had to use first aid. However, I know, because of Mike, I'll be atleast a little more informed about how to help someone who could've possibly been alone in a life or death situation.
As an avid watcher, I admit it's not all the time but it does happen a good amount. i think it's calmed down (you'll notice by the hair changes) due to YT ad regulations and all that so you'd have to watch the older stuff haha
I love Dr Mikes reactions. Am I the only one that watches him in the corner instead of the large screen? And his laugh….. omg I love his laugh. Makes me smile.
I am so glad that Dr. Mike is saying it's important to take blood pressure correctly because I had an assistant get mad at me when she was taking my blood pressure and I told her she shouldn't be asking me rapidfire questions and moving me while she's taking my blood pressure. I said can we wait a second and she was like "it doesn't matter" and then she got all petty and took it again and said "your pressure is even higher now" and I was like OF COURSE IT IS YOU'RE PISSING ME OFF.
Can't believe Mike didn't react to their Brosectomy video. I know that's not really an "injury" but it would've been fun to see his reaction and medical insights on that one 😄
I have been waiting for this react video! R&L have done so many crazy, dangerous things. That it was only a matter of time before Dr. Mike came in with the reviews and medical break downs!
This was FANTASTIC, and with all the crazy stuff that Rhett and Link do and eat, there is sooooo much content to do more of these episodes. Hahaha 😂 please do!!
3:24 I slipped and fell really hard today while I was running to catch a train and I absolutely would have slammed the side of my head into the concrete, but my hand was just there in between my head and the ground. I don’t know how it got there, but I wonder if somehow I just naturally reacted like that to protect my head. I don’t know exactly how it happened but it definitely saved me from head injury 😬
As someone who was diagnosed with hypertension after having several high BP readings at drs,, the medications given always made me feel faint every single day, I hated it! I finally convinced them after several weeks of not high BP home readings to do a 24 hr ambulatory test, which concluded I actually have slightly low BP and diagnosed me with white coat hypertension! (this was weeks after I refused to take the alpha/beta blockers).
Yep, I told them to take my BP on my lower arm and the ambulance machine does not work - ignored. "Everyone gets upset!" "I run low, you daft, Assistant! Don't touch me again!"
I agree with the icing one. I sprained my ankle while living with my auntie and she never iced it once. She wrapped it and deep massaged it like twice a day and would very slowly roll my ankle around. It was sprained for about maybe 2-3 days before I could completely walk on it again. Auntie never iced, just massaged twice a day for about 5-10 minutes. I'm not at all saying that it's a hack but it seems it'll help more than just icing it and laying there waiting to heal. It did hurt, of course, when she was massaging it but with a new day, the pain reduced significantly.
omg, THANK YOU for saying the bit about BP. my OBs were convinced i had pre-eclampsia because they would do my BP as soon as i walked through the door. mind you, the walk from the parking garage to the office involved flights of stairs and would take me 15 minutes to complete the walk. i had to beg them to take my BP at the end of each visit for a more realistic reading, and they always seemed astonished that it caused such a significant difference
As a former bicycle racer I can confirm that dropping and rolling is the best way to fall. We callled it "turning turtle", lots of little scrapes are better than one big one. When in doubt turtle up! ...also, we learned the collar bone is always the first to go. Most of us have collar bones that look like a wavy ruffle chip! 😂
I can say that the time I sprained my ankle when I was 18, I could still walk and stand and move around as it slowly swelled up. It did start to ache after an hour, and increased in pain and swelling, but when asking advice of coworkers, they said this: 60yo boss: "Always ice it. Keep the swelling down." Highly athletic 18yo coworker: "Keep it warm. Cold is bad. Trust me." It was a few hours before I could get home and put it up, and I was slow moving but capable. I decided to elevate it, ice it, and nap. When I woke up with the ice pack melted... I was in hell. The stiffness the cold created had me nearly collapse on the floor in utter agony, trying to crawl to get around. It remains one of the worse pains in my life I can even remember, and I advise everyone to keep such injuries warm so they can heal. If the area is swollen, but not horrifically so, it's typically trying to heal itself. LET IT DO SO.
Ah yeah that's on your boss for not saying you aren't meant to keep the ice on for long stretches of time, I don't remember how long it is exactly but you keep it on then take it off for a while and repeat
@@ashrowan2143 Yes exactly, unless instructed otherwise you're only supposed to ice for like 15-20 minutes at a time lmao (as told to me by doctors in my area). To my understanding, it really depends what kind of injury you have - like I've done just ice, just heat, and alternating based on what was hurting. But I've NEVER seen anyone do what OP did and leave it on for a full hour or so nap lmfao. 😭
As a Norwegian sports medic, we're taught that ice packs are mostly psychological, and it sure seems that way too. Everyone asks for an ice pack, when we know for a fact that what has the biggest impact is protection, rest and compression.
@@ToxinBrewer Yes, that's a myth. Ice packs might, however, help with numbing the area for the time you have the ice pack on. But mostly it's still psychological really. The best thing you can do for the swelling is early application of compression (within the first 2-3 minutes of the injury). The first application of compression should be quite tight (remember, we're trying to restrict blood flow to the area) for about 15 minutes. Then, after 15 minutes, a looser compression can be put on, for the next 48 hours (but taken off when you are sleeping and showering). But under no circumstance do we want the compression itself to hurt or to cause numbing.
@@vegetablescankill No, you definitely don't want blood clots to form, that'll just kill off your limb or kill you. It just applies pressure, which restricts the blood flow
3:25 Organism develops bipedalism. Organism notices that tripping and falling is much riskier now. Organism instinctively tries to be quadruped again while rapidly approaching the ground.
9:30 I'm unfortunately very prone to ear infections due to "swimmer's ear" that stuff sucks, hurts like heck and doesn't go away for days on end. It happens so much my doctor actually just has that ear drop at the ready for refills, and I can actually tell ahead of time if I'm developing it, and unfortunately, I get it just naturally, haven't actually figured out what causes it but the only thing that makes sense to me is my ear canals are shaped in some way that traps water in it just from moisture in the air or something like that.
Hey, guys, do you have problems with earbuds and headphones? I only have mild swimmers ear, but earbuds and headphones can be a complete joke, which is annoying. Pain after I've been listening to music is not nice.
@@robertwilloughby8050 yeah I can get issues with them, when it comes to earbuds the swelling from the infection makes it hurt like crazy, headphones and earbuds both can make the infection worse due to moisture being trapped.
I totally feel the same way.. have been watching even when they were doing the talks in the NC home. There are so many episodes sometimes you forget how much crazy stuff they do!
@@tinntinnamp I feel like they’ve done crazy stuff for so long that it doesn’t phase me as much anymore. 😆 The tasing got me though! That’s just insane! 🤣
3:30 when I was maybe around 10 years old, I had a classmate who was sitting on a fence and lost her balance, but instead of putting out her hands, she fell flat on her face. Her reasoning was: ''I need my hands for writing and stuff''.
7:30 When I was a kid the pediatritian always told my family to go back and forth between thick blankets with ice packs, and thick blankets with hot water bottles to encourage blood flow to the chest to break up chest conjestion. Now they just tell my cousins to have a personal massager to do vibrations on the kid's back to break up mucus...or the belly for constipation.
I tripped while running a few months ago. I was not able to either tuck and roll or get my hands up. Multiple jaw fractures. Falling when running hurts.
0:24 oddly enough thats how i broke my lunate bone in my wrist to where i had to get a screw put in it as the lunate bone in my wrist was split in half essentially all because of a jagged side walk otherwise never broke a bone in my life up till that point in late 2022

Ah yeah that's on your boss for not saying you aren't meant to keep the ice on for long stretches of time, I don't remember how long it is exactly but you keep it on then take it off for a while and repeat
@@ashrowan2143 Yes exactly, unless instructed otherwise you're only supposed to ice for like 15-20 minutes at a time lmao (as told to me by doctors in my area). To my understanding, it really depends what kind of injury you have - like I've done just ice, just heat, and alternating based on what was hurting. But I've NEVER seen anyone do what OP did and leave it on for a full hour or so nap lmfao. 😭
Oh boy!!!! My two favorite RUclips channels, Doctor Mike and Good Mythical Morning, all in one video!!😍
Dr Mike assessing my favorite duo is just what I needed today. 😂 next thing he needs to do is appear on mythical kitchen and eat his last meal.
I've been begging for a Rhett and Link collab for a long time..... I'm thrilled to see at least a reaction video! 🎉
As someone who has suffered an ear infection I would not wish that on my worst enemy, that pain was insane.
target audience reached
“The next thing I know link is no longer beside me” crying 😂 and 7:08 facts just take an ice bath lol
As a Norwegian sports medic, we're taught that ice packs are mostly psychological, and it sure seems that way too. Everyone asks for an ice pack, when we know for a fact that what has the biggest impact is protection, rest and compression.
I thought it was also to reduce swelling, is that a myth?
@@ToxinBrewer Yes, that's a myth. Ice packs might, however, help with numbing the area for the time you have the ice pack on. But mostly it's still psychological really. The best thing you can do for the swelling is early application of compression (within the first 2-3 minutes of the injury). The first application of compression should be quite tight (remember, we're trying to restrict blood flow to the area) for about 15 minutes. Then, after 15 minutes, a looser compression can be put on, for the next 48 hours (but taken off when you are sleeping and showering). But under no circumstance do we want the compression itself to hurt or to cause numbing.
@@Henoikthe right compression is to promote clotting right? or what's the mechanism?
@@vegetablescankill No, you definitely don't want blood clots to form, that'll just kill off your limb or kill you. It just applies pressure, which restricts the blood flow
3:25 Organism develops bipedalism. Organism notices that tripping and falling is much riskier now. Organism instinctively tries to be quadruped again while rapidly approaching the ground.
9:30 I'm unfortunately very prone to ear infections due to "swimmer's ear" that stuff sucks, hurts like heck and doesn't go away for days on end. It happens so much my doctor actually just has that ear drop at the ready for refills, and I can actually tell ahead of time if I'm developing it, and unfortunately, I get it just naturally, haven't actually figured out what causes it but the only thing that makes sense to me is my ear canals are shaped in some way that traps water in it just from moisture in the air or something like that.
I dont have it that bad, but if i get water in my ears after a shower, then its like a 25% chance of a miserable time...
Hey, guys, do you have problems with earbuds and headphones? I only have mild swimmers ear, but earbuds and headphones can be a complete joke, which is annoying. Pain after I've been listening to music is not nice.
@@robertwilloughby8050 yeah I can get issues with them, when it comes to earbuds the swelling from the infection makes it hurt like crazy, headphones and earbuds both can make the infection worse due to moisture being trapped.
This is a crossover I wasn’t expecting and I love it!
When Dr. Mike says stay happy and healthy and you realize you’re neither. Ooof. 🙃
Ay Rhett guessing that number was peak mental performance 😂
5:15 That's basically the sum of the waiver from when I went skydiving lmao
I'm not a fan of RUclipsrs making outrageous faces in their thumbnail pics, but this genuinely might be my favorite thumbnail pic. 😆
@7:40 icing my injuries is absolutely valuable, at a minimum because im in less pain and can just relax a bit instead of being tense and upset
This is the non-collab-collab that I never knew I needed in my life. But here we are. :D
Dr Mike is the reason I’m passing biology 😂😂❤
3:19 That happened to me too when I was a kid broke my right arm with the fall and yes it feels like you got slammed to the ground
The greatest crossover I never knew I needed!
Doctor Mike being surprised the whip was real had me cackling. Sir, you haven't seen the half of it lmfao
Ive watched their videos every day for years, and I somehow didn’t realize there were injuries to react to. 😂
I totally feel the same way.. have been watching even when they were doing the talks in the NC home. There are so many episodes sometimes you forget how much crazy stuff they do!
@@tinntinnamp I feel like they’ve done crazy stuff for so long that it doesn’t phase me as much anymore. 😆 The tasing got me though! That’s just insane! 🤣
1:53 Can we all acknowledge Dr Mike knows the difference between a real whip and a “play” whip! 🙌🏼
Dr. Mike: Carbonated drinks can irritate sensitive bladders.
Me, who pretty much exclusively drinks carbonated water...
Two of my favorite channels , excited for this video 🤣🤣
3:30 when I was maybe around 10 years old, I had a classmate who was sitting on a fence and lost her balance, but instead of putting out her hands, she fell flat on her face. Her reasoning was: ''I need my hands for writing and stuff''.
7:30
When I was a kid the pediatritian always told my family to go back and forth between thick blankets with ice packs, and thick blankets with hot water bottles to encourage blood flow to the chest to break up chest conjestion.
Now they just tell my cousins to have a personal massager to do vibrations on the kid's back to break up mucus...or the belly for constipation.
Thank God Link didn't hit his head when he fell in the 1st clip.
Can we just appreciate how sincere dr Mike is, I wish he was my dr bc I’ve had so many rude and dismissive doctors
i'm so glad you are reviewing them
Great collab . These guys are straight up legends. Good mythical night, Dr. MIKE
Love this Dr Mike video's. can't wait on a Sunday and Wednesday for new 1000% entertainment and so much to learn. ❤You great Dr Mike and Team
videos
I tripped while running a few months ago. I was not able to either tuck and roll or get my hands up. Multiple jaw fractures. Falling when running hurts.
0:24 oddly enough thats how i broke my lunate bone in my wrist to where i had to get a screw put in it as the lunate bone in my wrist was split in half essentially all because of a jagged side walk otherwise never broke a bone in my life up till that point in late 2022
Mmmm tastes like lawsuit
Lmao! Dr.Mike your editor deserves a raise. Man hitting ALL the good post script punchlines 😅 thanks for another wonderful video!!❤
Nothing more wholesome than our favoirite youtubers in one video 😊🎉
The editors deserve a raise for this. I laughed so hard I nearly peed my pants. Guess the pelvic floor exercises need to be employed here.
Please be a guest on GMM! That would be amazing!!
As a Mythical Beast I didn't know I needed this video! But I did!
