When the doctor is saying "I can't even look at that" you know you're fooked
You know you're "beeeewoop!"
The worst part was they used the clip of her showing her hand to the camera in the opening credits for every episode! I had to look away every time.
I’m sorry but, “fooked”????
@@Lavender_Lane im guessing they dont wanna curse
@@daniellebrown99 Me too. I can't even look when they take my blood.
“LISTEN TO MY TECHNIQUE” 😱😂😂😂
Me when watching a horror movie and the protagonist decides to go investigate instead of leaving
Like she can hear you, months after it was filmed!
@@itssteph263same 😂
😂😂😂
Like she can hear him through the screen 😅
And this is why humans live in groups and spend years teaching their young how to survive.
Yep people forget that ancient humans who lived in the wild lived in bands and were trained from birth to survive there. Dropping a modern person alone in a forest is like dropping a fish on a beach
@@user-bw3yg5di3l yes Jesus loves you but if you blindly love if back without having any other knowledge he won't love you back
And this is why humans live in groups and used to spend years teaching their young how to survive.
@@user-bw3yg5di3lshut the hell up fanatic
Yesrs? How about a lifetime?
If I tried going on alone I would set a world record for the fastest person to go home.
I remember watching a season where there was this father/son team, and a few hours after the son was dropped off the chopper, he was hiking and fell hard. I don't think he was seriously injured but the reality must have hit him harder and he had to tap out after a couple hours.
Another season one of the contestants heard an animal moving and noped out of there instantly. It was hilarious because they showed him getting ready to leave and he was telling his brother that the bears and wolves better watch out
Remember that guy from Arizona who left within hours?
@@akoiya6300no I think he actually like dislocated his knee or something. He did hurt himself
EDIT: the father/son duo went home because they weren't mentally prepared but there was a brothers team that went home within a few hours because one of the brothers dislocated an ankle in the fall
yup, I'll probably not even make it to land, like I'll trip and fall out of the boat and break my hand or somethin
They contact the survivalists with their emergency radios with a click twice a day and they have to click back to show they are okay. If they don’t respond then they go check on them. They also visit them every few days to check them medically but they aren’t really supposed to speak to them.
That’s a relief!!
This is true. I am a Wilderness Skills and Bushcraft instructor. Two friends have been on Alone and I was asked to do it but could not commit to the time. I spend time every year living entirely off the land.
Does their camera transmit to satellites or something so if they’re attacked by a wild animal or have a bad fall, they can get help very quickly?
@@evilsharkey8954 No. its all on SD cards they have a sat phone they can use with an emergency button and if dropped in an area with bears or wolves they get bearspray or airhorns other than that they're pretty much fucked lmao
The girl with the hook in her hand went back another season and did very well!
But there was one woman with MS in remission, in great shape, so positive and ready. As soon as she got out there, wouldn't you know her Multiple Sclerosis came out of remission and she had to leave. Broke my heart for her. Great show! ❤
that's so unfortunate. she must have been super bummed
Poor woman :( I know stress can cause relapse, which being alone in the wild absolutely has to be. So sad for her.
Her and the woman who almost split her hand with the ax ouch
Most likely the stress of “what’s gonna happen” is what triggered it. MS is no joke. Poor woman. Maybe she will come back and try again
I didn't know they were able to go out and try again in a different season! That's cool!
That first guy was very smart and responsible. He didn't want to be disqualified for an injury, and it's hard to accept something that small is a real emergency, but he bit the bullet and did the right thing. Mad props. Respect.
Ooh and then that girl who was at **86 days** and tapped out-- ngl I would have tried to tolerate the hook in my hand for two weeks and probably lost the whole damn arm. These people are true champs for recognizing their limits and making the tough but smart call.
@@minetrulyHonestly, with the fish hook, if she had removed it correctly the first day she got it in she probably would have been fine. But, she completely botched the removal, causing more damage and exposing her to serious infection.
Smart, except for running around a wet forest with an ax and a knife out
@@zachary4670I wonder when was the first time the advice of not running with sharp objects given. Like we talkin caveman days?
@@zachary4670 well ... yes.
I love that show and sometimes I think “I want to try to survive like them too”…but then I remember all of their wounds, health risks and other disgusting things and I’m like “Nahhh, I rather stay on my couch”.
Hell, you can “survive like them” by learning a lot of basic survival skills, maybe even going camping with multiple people for a day or two, and not put yourself at major risks like these people.
well, we were camping number of times. some basic rules. Always get something sharp (axe, knife), BOIL water ALWAYS, wash and cook meat good, do not sleep on the ground without proper cover, also clear the ground properly. Also dont risk injuries and prepare on time with wood for fire, i always add double or triple time i think i need to prepare. The biggest issue in wild is extreme weather, too cold or too much rain. Can't protect ourselves against that without proper equipment or shelter.
Basically everything shown in this video was simple accidents that could happen to anyone anywhere. Camping responsibly is no more risky than anything else. Bring first aid supplies, sterile/antibacterial liquid, lifestraw, emergency water and rations and you’ll be fine.
I wouldn’t even be able to hunt for myself.
I just like to yell at them for making poor choices while I eat my Ben & Jerry's. 😂
“Oh no, he fell!” “LISTEN TO MY TECHNIQUE!!” Idk why but that was so cute and adorable!! 😂
ER nurse here. Just want to say everything Dr. Mike says is highly appropriate and found myself saying the same things and have seen similar things in my profession. Good job Dr. Mike
Wow, really? Almost as if he was like a doctor or something. Incredible!
😆
@@LautaroQ2812 emergency medicine is a specialty and he practices primary care medicine. Not all primary care MD’s have a good knowledge of emergency medical treatment. There’s many other specialities in medicine too.
@@thestifler1Good job Dr. Mike
He doesn’t need the good job lol
Not everything - he called a knife a weapon when it is more often used as a tool. He also made too much out of eating roadside plants.
One technique to avoid what happened in the last one, is if you have a small log that needs splitting, but it's too small to chop, you can ether use a stick to keep it in place while keeping your hand out of the way, or you can instead do the chopping in reverse; Embed the axe blade just a tiny bit into the log, (a tap or two with another log or rock will do it), then flip the axe over and swing the blunt end against something hard. The log imbedded in the blade will then split itself on the blade due to the gforce.
that's counterintuitive and makes a lot of sense at the same time
i was thinking you hold the log upright against the ground with the axe blade, use a rock or something to tap it into the log enough that it sticks, then grab the axe by the handle and swing towards the ground. same basic concept, using the inertia to push the axe blade through the log, keeps all your body parts out of the way, but a bit easier to visualize and more intuitive. how someone managed to end up on a survival show not knowing the basics of "don't swing sharp objects towards your body" i will never understand.
The wood she was splitting was so small really she could have split it parallel to the axe keeping both hands low on the axe and wood keeping her hands out of striking range. Embed the axe into the wood and twist left or right to finish the split.
You can also embed it then tap on the back of the axe head with the thing in the air, that's how you seat an age head, you put it on the flip it upside down and tap on the back of the axe handle and it pushes it in far better than if you'd tried to push the axe in by hammering it down.
The same can work for splitting certain logs. You can also seat the axe into the wood with a few taps and then hold the wood and the axe and swing them down together with the axe on top and it keeps it stable so you can't miss but still quickly splits it. Great for something like splitting a stick into very small bits as an intermediate between tinder and the kindling.
@@Moriibund419 My thought was that it was just too small to split anyway just throw it on the fire.
The best advice I can give to anyone who has to survive out in the wilderness is *take your time* when doing errands or chores. Unless a situation requires a great amount of speed or energy, you're literally killing yourself when you waste calories or harm yourself due to being clumsy and not in control of your actions. The best precaution you can do right now is cultivate some skills in regards to survival now while you are able to; learning shit from scratch is not a great idea under stressful circumstances and you'll probably die miserably.
exactly, always add double or triple the time you think you need. For Some situations we can be prepared, for some others without proper equipment and shelter there is not much we can do. Prehistoric humans (same as animals) lived in caves for a reason, some weather conditions we couldn't survive in open. Its being fullish if we would try doing that.
This advice right here. I broke my leg walking my dog, I was able to call for help, and an ambulatory was there in minutes, and my son was there to help me. Can’t imagine doing that in the wilderness away from help! (I slipped down a wet hill)
The best advice is "don't go".
@@ErebosGR Bad advice.
As soon as he said "dehydration" I started mass drinking water. No, I'm not scared I'll get a headrush. He just reminded me to drink water😁
I grew up hearing stories from my grandfather who served in WW2, and one of the biggest dangers of getting wounded in the wild, and particularly warm jungle type areas, it won't close. They had guys die because the moisture in the air wouldn't allow the wound to scab over.
My grandpa served in WW2 as well
@@apersonnamedalex998 this was in WW2
This video really showcases the sheer strength and resilience of humans when pushed to their limits. It's amazing how you all manage to survive in such harsh environments, it's a testament to determination and willpower.
The exact opposite. It shows why tryhards rush and die
At Virginia Beach as a child, I threw a clump of seaweed into the ocean. It was tangled up in some fishing line, and I got a fishhook buried in my right index finger. The paramedics on the scene were unable to push the barb out (yeah, they tried it right there with me sitting on the back bumper of their ambulance). The doctors tried and failed to do the same at the hospital! they reasoned that the hook was so rusty and my finger so swollen it was preventing the hook from moving. So, they cut down through my finger and just pulled the hook up and out that way. That was 45+ years ago, and I still have a rather distinct long scar on my fingertip.
Yeah, hooks have barbs that make it impossible if it's gone in deep enough to take it out the same way it went in without doing massive damage, if you can't push it through the rest of the way and clip it then you have to cut it out. If it's in shallowly then you can use the opposite tension technique.
sounds like it hurt so much you might still remember the pain😅
You should do an episode on Smoker's Flue/Quitter's Flue. I recently quit after almost 50 years (age 13 to 62) of 1.5 pks a day (carton/wk) and I was a 'hard smoker' (had to always get those last drags). I randomly quit a couple months ago which was a lot easier than I thought it would be at first, but in a few days I became deathly ill, and it lasted for weeks. When I say 'deathly ill' I'd rather have Covid, the real flue, whatever than the long relentless chills, endless stomach and gut issues, and inability to focus.
Congratulations!
That’s amazing! Well done!
Congratulations!!
I did a Tough Mudder in 2019. Went to jump and mantle over a log, and my patella tendon on my right knee ruptured. it was surgery and about a year of PT.
Ouch
Do you mean it fractured? Usually soft tissue ruptures unless I’m missing smth here
@@luke_zxy sorry I'll edit it but I meant my patella tendon.
@@Kwildcat13 believe it or not, the actual injury doesn't hurt. But trying to move the leg absolutely does hah. But once I had a splint/brace I could walk no problem. Surgery was a couple weeks after the injury so.
Did you make a full recovery?
Are there any lasting effects?
What was the purpose of the PT after the surgery?
Was it to regain strength, range of motion, or both?
Do you know why it snapped when you tried to jump?
Aka, if you could time travel with perfect hindsight, could you have prevented it?
Sorry for my barrage of questions, lol
I feel for you, especially having such a long recovery track - and I hope you're well today :)
I feel that doctor mike is the one dude in a survival group u need
I'd say not - unless he knows how to procure and purify water and make warm shelter. Medical help is terrific if the worst comes to the worst but surviving until then takes a whole different skillset.
@@timsbird1971 but since we are in a group each member would have their own skill set right
My neighbor has diabetes and peripheral neuropathy. Aka, he can't feel his hands and feet. He went out in -40 weather to help a friend with a problem with his heating fuel supply. He lost part of almost all of his fingers. The only reason he didn't completely lose all of them was the fact he was given an experimental treatment that restored circulation to parts of them in time to prevent tissue death. Exposing your body parts to extreme cold is no less dangerous than dunking them into boiling oil. It just takes a little bit longer for the damage to occur.
leeches, it is leeches..antiinflammatory substances together with thinning the blood and dissolving blood clumps does safe limbs from dying off. this is why they are still used today...and one of the reasons why some species are close to extinction because people just collected them from the wild. nowadays they try to breed them but the need for them is too big to be supplied by farms for now, to they still are taken from the wild.
I love this show. If I were younger I would apply for this show. They did one where two people dropped off in two different locations and one had to hike to the other. My dad and I would have loved to do this together. He taught me so much about nature and the outdoors. We loved hiking and camping. We both (on two separate occasions) went to Philmont and did 50-mile treks in the Rocky Mountains carrying everything we needed for 10 days on our backs.
Fun facts about little rodents and rabies. They don't transmit rabies because they are so small and nervous that they die before it become contagious.
But they still can transmit lot of bacteria under their claws, so wash any scratches they can do to you.
I'm still going to a doctor lmao.
I already knew about that factoid about rodents rarely carrying rabies, thanks to my severe fear of the disease. Opossums are mostly immune to the disease.
5:36 “Haha get out of my house pls” got me rolling 😂❤
Same
Hey Dr. Mike, you indirectly prevented a medical emergency on an airplane flight! i was watching videos in my seat and had a vasovagal response to the needles on the screen, realized i was gonna faint so i strapped myself in and tried to non-verbally alert my seatmate, then i promptly fainted in my chair and (apparently) beaned my unfortunate seatmate with my head.. he thought i died lol, but thanks to me watching your videos, i was able to coherently tell the airplane staff that i had a vasovagal syncopal and NOT a heart attack, and the plane ride continued as normal! (save for a 2-hour panic attack over needles, but that's besides the point :') )
I'm sorry abt your issues with needles D: (i'm the same with fat removal surgeries for some reason), but I'm glad his videos could help you out!! Watching medical content can be a slippery slope when certain common things strike a nerve like that...
@@problemsfan4132 🫂
Sherlock Holmes once said that he didn't fear the city, because there were always clues left behind. Witnesses and marks to lead one to the truth. It was the country he feared. The solitary nature of it. You could get killed without anyone ever knowing you were there to begin with.
Spoken like someone with little experience of the country - there are clues all over the place.... if you know how to read them. For example I was out in the field and could see evidence of the deer that were there that morning, the badger that had followed his usual trail, that my neighbour had fed the foxes again that night. I could tell the fox was eating well even apart from the food he was putting down. I could also tell that the farmer had been out the day before and that the ewes with lamb would be in the field soon. So many clues...
My wife screams " chest compressions! Chest compressions"" in the living room,
And I know what she's watching .
Thank you. Music to my ears doc.
I don’t know if I’ve ever seen Dr Mike so stressed in a single episode 😂😂😂😂😂
This show can be intense. Happy to see mike watch and break down episodes.
I can believe anyone would use a axe that way. Seems like these people forget that you should keep the sharp part away from the skin
I have two friends that have done it (I'm a trained Wilderness Skills and Bushcraft Instructor). I spend a lot of time each year living off the land and the worst part over that long time is always isolation. We're not designed to be apart from other people.
I’ve waited so long to see you react to Alone injuries, thank you. There’s some other injuries not covered so potential for a 2nd video
Thank you for drawing attention to physical therapy. My mother and her mother were/are learning disability physiotherapists and they get overlooked so much.
"OMG that's deep. I'm not even squeamish and I can't look"
Immediately proceed to show it in slow motion.... Yeah, thanks for that.
I’m early for the first time .
Doctor Mike, if you read this I just want to say : You’ve inspired me to become a doctor when I’m older. My doctor even told me he would let me be his medical student when I’m old enough. I love your channel and I hope I can meet you someday .
Have a good day/night .
15:21 another thing is that the axe has been used to chop untreated wood and there'll be wood shrapnel in there with all sorts of unseen fungal spores as well
Doctor Mike! You've inspired me to become a doctor in the future. Thank you! If it wasn't for you and if I didn't change school I wouldn't've even considered it
Hell yeah John! you got this
I love watching outdoor shows. Especially from my warm room, with a nice warm cup in front of me.
But this was a really good video. Hard to watch sometimes, but I learned new stuff. Thanks!
Doctor Mike never disappoints
Love your channel, thanks for brining some fun to all of our days ❤!
I love the show Alone! I have watched every season, every episode.. Glad you reviewed these!!
More of this please. A professional opinion is so important to learn from for survivalists.
Love the effort and editing that you put into your videos! Keep it up! ❤
I had a similar injury to my hand, knife slipped and hit my knuckle, severed my tendons nearly totally. ER doc stitched it and had me see a hand surgeon, he wasn't messing with it. Was told I'd lose most of my mobility in that finger but luckily PT worked and I have 100% mobility back, but DAMN that scene gave me PTSD
Dude I love your explanations of things. It just helps me understand what maybe should be obvious but I can’t articulate
Oh this is such a wonderful breakdown 👏👏 I truly love seeing survival strategies broken down with medical discussion
This is one of my favorite shows. I hope you enjoyed it Dr. Mike.
Very good information on the bakers cyst! I'm currently dealing with this now!
Love this show, for me feels like the most legit survival reality show out there. Would love to see a part two.
I always look forward to your video's Dr. Mike! Thanks for sharing your knowledge with us.
Oof, that last one hurt to watch! You NEVER chop while holding the wood!
She's lucky she only cut herself and didn't just lop off her fingers!
Place the wood on a stable surface. Pin it in place with the hatchet in one hand. Then strike the back of the hatchet with another limb/log (not a rock - it might shatter or the axe head may chip and cause serious injuries too).
He should check out survivor man. He did videos where he tries to teach what to do if you ever get lost in places like the woods.
He's posted all his videos to his RUclips channel now if you want to go back and watch them! He's does director's commentary on them too 😊
My family and I love the show Alone! We get super excited whenever a new season comes out.
I love this show! Glad you finally decided to watch it. I would love to see more Dr. Mike!
Tradings supers famous beauty datings friends.
I have watched this show and it is a true survival show, hard to find a good one like this.
Doctor Mike is very sympathetic man! I wish more people would be like him.
Have a beautiful day everybody!
this is my favourite survival show .thanks mike!
I clicked on this video SO fast--I've been hoping for you to react to Alone for ages, so thank you!!!😊
Whenever possible,I watched this show.👌this show truly tested human endurance to the max.I don't think I would be able to do such a thing,and I do alot of things solo,but that's toooo alone😊
I used to watch this show a lot. Most of the Seasons were filmed on Vancouver Island which is where I'm from. Thanks for covering it, Dr. Mike!
I'm also from Vancouver Island! I don't live there now but I sure miss it! I had no idea that they filmed this there. I guess I should watch the show. Do you know what part of the Island they use for filming?
Your videos are very helpful....mostly reaction videos...there's so much knowledge in these "Reaction to TV Shows and Movies"... Thank you so much ❤
Nice video. Kind of neat to learn about health issues that were more prevalent 100 years ago
I've been binging your videos the last few days and your little, "bee-wop!" after your intro, reminds me of Bingo from Bluey yelling, "be-yoop!" while she's doing a silly walk 😂
Best series ever 👌🏻
So cool you went over this show! The first two seasons and the 4th I believe were all filmed where I grew up!
My two favorite shows teamed up 🎉 Dr. Mike + ALONE = GOLD
This is the best reality show ever. Especially the arctic locations. Obsessed.
Finally, I know I am not alone! I love this show, too.
Yesss, I've been asking for this forever!! ❤
I have been hooked so many times. Sometimes ER, like in the head as a kid.
But I wouldn't ever leave on in.
And most experienced anglers know the two techniques Dr Mike spoke of. If pulling, braid is the best as it doesn't have stretch, and it should be pulled by a tool, not skin.
Great video Doctor Mike! My mom and and I love that show lol
Your reaction is so cute!
Thanks a lot for sharing, really great job! 👍🥰👏
PT Tape is great. I use it for shoulder stability. Especially holding my muscles in the correct position
The method you described with string or in most cases fishing line works like a champ. Every fisherman should be familiar with it.
Doctor Mike you’re awesome, your advice is always sound !! Pleaseeeee do naked and afraid again !!
About the Squirrels+Rabies part: I took care of a lot of ill/injured red squirrels back in the day and the myth about squirrels infected with rabies isn't really uncommon.
But the truth is that Squirrels are so small and fragile, almost every predator that would hunt them and could infect them with rabies would kill them before they could infect any other lifeform.
A bite from a cat is pretty lethal for a squirrel, even if it gets away, so IF a weasel/marten/fox with rabies bites a Squirrel it wouldn't make it long enough to be a danger to anything or anyone else.
The myth usually comes from the fact that young squirrels who lost their mothers tend to crawl to humans for help and hold on very aggressively, scaring the human in the process.
But thats usually their last ditch effort in total desperation for help.
About the fish hook, i can also tell you that regular wire cutters aren't going to easily go through a hook of any real size after you push it all the way through and will definitely bend and abrade the sides of the hook so it's going to make lots more little cuts inside the wound coming out.
Dr. That was so on spot. I have torn my miniskus 10 years ago at my 18 and when it got inflammated now one doctor told me surgery the other told me anti inflamatories and therapy. Now I am pain free and running without a problem
Sorry for all those who are not squimish and would like uncensored content, but Dr. Mike, I appreciate the skillful blurring 😅
I love your channel so much Dr. Mike. Do you think you can react to medical scenes in Star Trek🖖
i think this was the best reacting to injuries so far, would love to see more of these
One of my favorite shows! I can't wait for a new season.
I wish I could watch Dr. Mike all day instead of doing school (I mean we are learning things)
Wow, I was close to puking on the 2nd to last clip with the hook, the axe took me over the brink lol had to walk away
For that hook I would have tried the old medieval method of removing barbed arrows. You use some kind of small hollow tube (traditionally a feather quill), which you slide in to the wound next to the shaft of the hook and get the hollow end over the barb. Then it will slide out easily.
I and my mom has seen Alone... Realy good.
Lol, the first minute made me realize that Doctor Mike is gonna be a great Dad. He's seen all the injuries possible and he knows how to prevent them :>
I love this series. Carleigh actually got a second chance in the clip you featured (as they brought back some previous contestants) ... and I always feel so awful for her bad luck. She wasn't even there that long and was so determined to really do her best.
In the country side, we were taught at a young age how to handle tools, especially the sharp ones. Feel bad for the lady with the axe.
Doctors like u are needed on social platforms to aware people.... Peewoop!❤
I love your channel and I wanted to ask if you could make a video reacting to pink panther or woody woodpecker medical scenes❤
As a fan of Alone, I'd love to see a follow-up episode to hear your thoughts on some of the topics more relevant past the first week on the show such as starvation, nutrition-specific deficiencies, organ meat, food storage, hypothermia, general hygiene, and the whole medical inspection topic.
Loved this. The Swedish (or maybe Norwegian) Alone series I think one of them had a serious infection in their hands but they let them stay!
Do naked and afraid next!!!
Not allowed on YT, obviously
@@NaeniaNightingale Discovery Channel blurred everything obviously
My dad got a hand injury in his teens. He was playing baseball with his buddy’s and caught the ball on his hand wrong. His ring and index finger caught it and the ball folded his hand backwards (finger nail to the back of his hand). It was bad but the worst part was the only hand specialist near where my dad lived was on vacation (he lived in a very small town). If the specialist hadn’t checked his email before flying out, my dad would have had to wait two weeks before getting his had properly corrected doing irreversible damage to it (the hospital didn’t realize this and just wrapped it up and sent him home). Thankfully the doctor was a champ and got my dad in the next day. Had to get screws and plates in his hand. You can still see the scar from were they made the incision.
Hey Doc. I enjoy your videos. Keep up the good work.
Hello Doctor Mike! Love your videos! Can you please make a video on mobile phone addiction and how to reduce it? Thank you!!
crazy how our ancesters survived in these rough conditions back then without medical backup.
They were taught by their parents how to survive and they had a community to help them, not to mention they knew some medicinal plants
And that’s why they died young too.
I love watching these videos and being like: "Pff. This dummies." Then I remember I'd prolly be struggling just as much... or more 😗
Same! I'm like, can I go on to build a shelter and explore, than go home?
I love this video I have watched about 100 times great job
This was awesome! I loved the first story where guy fell whilst using a sharp weapon .
I can't imagine why anyone would put their health or life at risk for some stupid show. Thanks for your channel, Dr. Mike! I always enjoy your content.
They are after the fame and probably money or whatever the prize is for the one staying out the longest. There’s always people willing to do stupid stuff for fame and money, just look at fear factor. Idiots all of them
I've watched all the seasons of this show before, and it does not get better in any of the other seasons.
One season had a guy drinking brackish water for a couple of weeks and only getting concerned when he started _hallucinating Mayan symbols on the roof of his cabin_ .
Edit: Somehow I missed that that was one of the clips you included. That's what was wrong with Brant. He was drinking brackish marsh water and hallucinating.
Only then??
@shroomba5119 to be fair, he didn't understand that brackish (i.e, slightly salty) water couldn't be purified by boiling. He was trying, he just... wasn't competent enough to understand.
But the mental degradation caused by drinking saltwater can actually be very subtle and hard to notice. It often starts as simply tiredness and lethargy, followed by an impacted appetite and some mental fuzziness. The hallucinations indicate a severe state of hyponutremia, the kind that is a medical emergency.
I REMEMBER THAT!!!! I WAS SOOOOO FREAKED OUT THE WHOLE TIME!!!!!
I'm actually so excited this is one of my favorite shows and I'm excited to see what you think of it!
