"We all wish that Noah had just slapped those two mosquitos" - As the person in my family who got 50x as many mosquito bites as anyone else, I concur.
😂 same here❗
😂😂😂😂
If only Harry Potter would cast a spell to get rid of mosquitoes! Haha. Fictional characters cant help you, sorry.
@@XVeganDaveGodFreeX Lighten up, Francis, it's a freaking joke.
Haha yeah and I'm allergic too
thanks for having me! important note idk if it was editing or I misspoke in blood rushing excitement--probably the latter bc I mean, it's wired magazine--the diastolic / lower number is still an arterial pressure read veins are passive / not part of BP but still all a closed circuit and this is why i'm not a cardiologist.. at the dismay of uncles and aunties everywhere i'm sure 😮💨
Nice to see you come back to correct/clarify yourself!
Haha glad you corrected this, definitely confused me for a moment
Hi Doc! Can you share what is your tattoo?
Good stuff, I’d love to see more of you on here! 🎉

11:20 for the mosquito question
Thank you 🫡
🎉 thank you I've been looking for the time stamp comment
He did not answer at all though. Do they prefer the ones with more CO2 in their blood or does having more repel them?
@@m-ray5956he says they prefer more co2
And is more CO2 a good or bad thing?
He must have spent some time in pediatrics. His discriptions are so vivid and simple. It’s amazing to listen to him
Except for the answer that wired used to lure us in. Lol
hes also soo enthusiastic
I was thinking the same thing his descriptions seem somewhat geared towards kids so cute
maybe has treated a lot of kids with leukemia.
No. Health care workers are taught to present info at a 5th grade reading level. All patient education materials in medical setting also at 5th grade level.
As a black person with a constant “low” wbc count. It was nice hearing him explain the difference between ethnicities.
Actually a lot of baseline “normal” things in medicine are based on adult white males which of course being the diverse world that we are, isn’t actually the real normal. Thanks doctor for reminding us of that.
i know what people are trying to say, but black americans are NOT ethnic! we were never allowed to be.
I noticed that ethnic doctors ( like him ) always do so. White doctors NEVER care abt these differences. If you see skincare studies that test black and asian skin theyre never done by white doctors. All the beauty skincare products are made for White skin
I'm AB+..AND COULD TAKE ANY
BLOOD
I hope most doctors are aware of that - imagine getting a blood test and they think it's all normal because of these specific averages made centuries ago 🥴
He should teach the public. He's so good at communicating complex topics to a lay audience.
That's because a lot of the things he says are oversimplified or straight up wrong
@@DangerSquiggles like what?
@@emmy9732 For example, he said that the diastolic blood pressure, the second value, refelcts the pressure in the veins. This is untrue, it reflects the lower boundary of the variation of arterial pressure.
The expert series is so well done, Wired always finds fantastic people, and in doing so they are really helping public education. Having clearly intelligent and charismatic experts answer complex questions in the simplest manner possible is fantastic for the millions of laymen like me that watch these. These folks are the Bill Nye's of our era. Plus the cheerful, helpful engagement likely helps shore up trust in educated professionals (especially in medicine) and that's proving to be very socially important nowadays.
this was so kind 🥹 thank you! it's a calling / celestial purpose, imo :)
@@TheOncDoc It's good to hear you're motivated by a sense of purpose. I have a nurse practitioner and MRT in my immediate family so I know all about how important it is to find reward in a field as challenging as medicine. Best wishes, and hopefully we'll see a round 2 with you in the future.
Great video so far! Dr. Juneja is charismatic and a great science communicator.
Why he kinda
Agree
I'm a medical technologist in charge of my hospital's haematology department, and I love his explanations to allow people to understand complex subjects. Suppose I know I'm talking to someone with little to no medical background or is in a different field of practice. In that case, I also try to simplify what I'm talking about without being condescending--they may not understand my job, but I probably don't know theirs either.
Hello fellow med tech!
'Plasma is a beautiful harmony' omg as a former lab technician and physiology teacher I agree. We take so many things for granted but human body is so precise and beautiful ❤️
ThIs guy is great at presenting information.
I think it's because he has A Positive attitude.
I'll see myself out.
Oh, be positive! I loved your pun. 😛
omg. y'all are my people 🥹
Oh.
😂
No need, puns are great
Dr. Juneja is great fun!! You should have him back for blood part 2.
he's fun and his name is funny too! sunjay ju ninja
Sounds like a horror film sequel.
Making this video First Blood?
Wow he's handsome. Didn't hear a word.
Thank you for talking about standard ranges for blood tests and different geographical areas w/blood types. I was a grown grown adult before a hematologist was able to help me understand my ridiculous life long anemia & alpha thalassemia. Now I have a treatment that actually works rather than just taking iron pills that never did anything and just emotionally feel less "defective" knowing that some of what's different about my body is the result of it trying to protect itself.
Same here!
the way he answered the question related to period blood makes me so happy.. like for once there is no reference to 'the amount of blood being lost is minimal so just relax, don't exaggerate' etc :)
Except that would have been the correct answer, insteadof his non- answer
@@rosmarbal gotta quote @canesugar911 on here - What amount is 36%? 50ml?, 100ml?,500 or 2ml? Or 1000? The percentage of blood in the menses composition does not reflect the actual amount of blood being Channelled out of circulation.
The menstruating population would not have issues like anaemia or certain blood deficiencies if they weren't losing a significant amount of blood.
You say that "you are not losing anywhere near the amount of blood you think you are losing as the vast majority isn't blood",.....so i ask again, what is the exact amount of blood being lost for all the women?
while they say it's somewhere around 40 - 90ml, it is more than that for a lot of women.. so there is no exaggeration there
@@rosmarbal It would not have been correct. Iron deficiency is very common among people who menstruate regularily and is underdiagnosed and undertreated. It is so common in fact that the reference values for hemoglobin in women are lower than those of men because such a large proportion of the "healthy" population is anemic.
My whole biology class for like 4 years in 11 minutes
I agree 😂
This dude's a great teacher, bring him on more!
It takes a long time to bleed out to the point of being in danger when on your period, trust me. Several years ago, I had a really heavy flow that lasted several weeks (I'm talking about half a box of pads per day type of heavy flow). I went to urgent care, was told to keep an eye on it, but later that week I passed out in the shower, only to wake up to a doctor explaining to me that I was borderline comatose because my H&H got so low. It was so bad that they kept me in the ICU for 6 days and I ended up needing a total of 9 units of blood... almost an entire person's worth. I can honestly say without donated blood, I'd be dead right now. SO PLEASE DONATE BLOOD IF YOU'RE ABLE!
And if you’re using half a box of pad’s every day for a week, you should DEFINITELY go see a doctor. Actually, considering that’s the amount you used and you needed a whole persons worth of blood to be ok again… an eighth of a box is probably where people should start checking lol.
I'd think you have a bleeding disorder
He is just like this in person. He was my hematologist a few years ago. He treats all his patients with respect and kindness, and most of all, he listens to you. Dr. Juneja is just a wonderful human.🙂
This man should be a professor with how vivid and easy it is to hear these broken down topics. Love his energy!
He explains these concepts so well. Definitely one of the best experts featured on this series so far!
If biology was explain like this in middle/high school, I wouldn’t have fallen asleep. Most of the things I was supposed to learn in middle/high school I ended up teaching myself in college
I am so glad that he mentioned the racial differences in blood components. It's something that is overlooked all the time
I agree and this should be researched further.
Agreed
I’m a nurse, and we weren’t even taught this. So interesting!
Loving Dr. Juneja! There's TONS of fascinating micro-systems in the body and it all gets very complicated very fast, and he conveyed his knowledge with enough depth to show he really DOES know what he's talking about as well as keeping the lingo shorter to help a wider audience understand. Always love seeing passionate scientists/doctors/researchers and hearing them talk. You should definitely invite Dr. Juneja back for pt 2!!!
Hats off to hematologists frfr. My daughter’s hematologist had the tiniest hunch that my daughter had AML due to consistent blood testing and other health factors that put her at extremely high risk. She was scheduled for a bone marrow biopsy that same week. By Monday of the next week, her hematologist gently delivered the diagnosis, thoroughly explained her treatment plan, and had us admitted to hospital the next day. She would make sure to speak to us when she was in for morning rounds and really held our hand through it. My daughter is now in remission thanks to her. I’m so grateful for all the very nerdy people who study blood lol ❤
He seems very enthusiastic about his field. Very nice.
Listening to a person who enjoys what they are explaining is always enjoyable.
soooo.... Why does some people get mosquitoes bites more than others?
High CO2 in the blood. High bicarbonate.
Great video and amazing speaker. I wish there was a good opportunity here for him to explain the importance of blood donation and, for especially those of us who are AB+, the importance of platelet donation. He waved at it in the part about the centrifuge, which they use in plateletpheresis, so that would've been cool to mention.
I went into it as well as bone marrow registry extensively 😢 it was actually 2 straight hours of 85+ questions 🥵
@@TheOncDoc Wow! I didn't realize they taped that much. In that case, I wish the EDITORS would've left that in! It's such a super important message. Thanks for replying, Doc!
As someone who underwent a stem cell transplant earlier this year to hopefully keep my mutliple myeloma in remission, and who had to have sooooooo many platelet transfusions while I was in the hospital for a month (and for several weeks after) to keep me alive, I'm eternally grateful to those who donate blood and platelets!!
For the amount of blood in a peroid question the biggest thing is that only about 36% of it is actually blood. 2 thirds of it is other stuff like the uterine wall and other tissues and secreations. So your not losing anywhere near the amount of blood you think you are as the vast majority isnt blood.
What amount is 36%? 50ml?, 100ml?,500 or 2ml? Or 1000? The percentage of blood in the menses composition does not reflect the actual amount of blood being Channelled out of circulation.
The menstruating population would not have issues like anaemia or certain blood deficiencies if they weren't losing a significant amount of blood.
You say that "you are not losing anywhere near the amount of blood you think you are losing as the vast majority isn't blood",.....so i ask again, what is the exact amount of blood being lost for all the women?
@@canesugar911Yeah. There's blood in the uterine wall bits that slough off, as well as where the remaining tissue will heal.
@canesugar911 maybe it's less losing too much blood, and maybe more someone's body not being able to do its job to replace the amount that comes out during menstruation?
Not to mention that the uterine lining forms over the entire time of the cycle. So the amount lost over a week has been around for 3 weeks and your body was making more the whole time.
@@m.g.5073 read my comment again
He explains this so well!! He’s super fun! Love to see it ❤
Dr. Juneja is a really energetic guy with great information delivery. Wired has been doing great finding these charismatic science professionals on the program.
He made things so easy to understand! I love the way he explained everything too bad I’m gonna forget everything in 2 seconds
This was great! As always Wired knocked it out of the park. Now, as a phlebotomist, I’m hoping they’ll consider doing a Phlebotomy Support video to help answer some questions and lessen some of the stigma around having your blood drawn and just why it’s so important! We aren’t heartless monsters with needles here to make your life difficult, we’re a super important component of the healthcare chain. But to have a video all about blood really made me smile!
where do you keep finding these hot experts
Loved this explanation style!
Dr. Juneja: beautifully done. You're really good at communicating complex concepts with clarity and kindness.
Well for the first time, "wtf" isn't censored...
Cry about it
This was one of the most fascinating ones I've watched so far!
Dr. Juneja's kindness and dedication to educating people, as well as simplifying complex concepts, are commendable. We are fortunate to have him as the host of our podcast. ❤
I learned a lot. Thanks wired for this series.
Dr. Sanjayyyyy!!! Big time! Love to see ya on the big screen!
My mom was sick for months despite my pleas, 1 night she couldn't take it. They found a *BLOOD CLOT* in her lung. She would have died if she waited longer. She was diagnosed with Anti-Phospholipid Syndrome so she's on blood thinners for life. Mini-strokes, migraines, fatigued quickly, limb numbness... Everytime she had to use stairs, she always ran up because it made her happy. I love my mom so much. ❤
*chefs kiss* fun, engaging, and informative. Makes me want to learn.
Thank you this was an excellent video
you need to bring him back....love how he explains things ....
Love to see him again, or someone else talking about the importance of blood donation and answer questions regarding that topic.
This is one of the coolest things I have ever seen. I guess I can say I’ve interviewed a celebrity now😂I got him first Wired💁♂️
Great video! Loved the explanation regarding the mosquito attraction.
You can tell he really loves what he does and that is just awesome. His level of excitement for his career is goals
This guy is great! We need more of him.
I like how he talks with his hands. I know a bunch of people like that
I'm like that too. I tell folks that if you tie my hands, I can't talk. I need at least one otherwise I'm silent.
🤌🤌🤌🤌🤌🤌
Thank you Dr.Blessings" Very clear and informative
Love how he explained scabbing and how a blood pressure cuff works - now I finally know!!
As an ICU RN, it was very interesting listening to him explain these things to “normal” (aka non-medical) people. He’s really good at it 👍🏽
this was super awesome learning experience! brilliant explanation. really terrific on the wbc example of ethnicity differences. thanks doc
Excellent, thank you!
This is great! I learned a bunch.
Him explaining blood so intimately legit gave me a light head
Awesome info presentation
Thank you
Very good information thank you and very easy to understand!
I love these videos because I love learning!
I was wondering when the next tech support video would come, after the last few weeks. I’m glad it’s back
This was one of the most interesting and informative TechSupport videos. I know next to nothing about biology, and am keen to watch more of this type of content.
I am always so happy to see one of these episodes pop up. Blood has always intrigued me, especially since being told I was apparently "allergic" to it. 😂
I have a low white blood cell count. I really appreciate you bringing this up because every time I go to the doctor for a physical, they are so worried about my low WBC count. But every time I get it checked at a Hemotologist (child and adult) the numbers are consistent. They keep wanting to do tests and I am like... or this is just my normal level?
Thank you🙏 Dr. Sanjay Juneja ❗❗
Incredible esse of explanation there. The mosquito question ducked me in but hooe I came away with more. Sanjay , you slay!
This was great! I could understand the concept of everything he explained because he put it together so well! Thanks for answering questions about blood that I didn’t even know I had 😁
The Bio teacher we all needed but never. 😅
I don't get how they always get the perfect person for each support video series
Amazing knowledge ty🎉
leave it up to hematologists (and infusion nurses!) to be so genuine and good at explaining things. They are the blueprint fr
I love this guy! So informative and entertaining
This is a very interesting explanation. Thanks
the "hey yo, help" got me. Nice video!
He's such a good (and funny!) explainer! Good stuff!
This dude said so many smart words I never heard before, most of these dumb questions I knew the answers to, but his descriptions are nice
I don't think I've ever found talk about blood so entertaining 😂 Thank you, Doctor 🤘✌👍🤗
I love the way he explains everything! Makes me feel like I can be a doctor 😅
Great video. Loved how all the experts called here are so great with explaining and communicating!
It would be amazing if Wired can collaborate with Dr. Mike. I follow his channel and as a primary care physician, he uploads such great videos about medicine and myths and overall healthcare. Would love to see him answering Twitter questions here 😁
The perfect video to watch at 1am when u got class the next morning 😊
Love this, Dr. Juneja is awesome. Side note: of course a hematologist is wearing red scrubs :)
You learn something new everyday. Great video, thank you Dr. Sanjay. There was just one teeny tiny error, at 7:57 I think he meant to say baby blood cell instead of baby blood vessel because a reticulocyte is actually a immature red blood cell. 😊
There are several obvious errors in his explanations. This maey me wary of all the other videos in this series.
I learned more in this video than any of my bio classes😭 understood it better too!
fell in love with this guy 😍
I loved this guy, funny AF and straight to the point and tells it like it is! 😂
I clicked this for the mosquito question and was not satisfied! I need more
thank you
not me distracted by how charismatic he is. appearance wise and knowledge wise.
This Doctor is one of those guys that is obviously thinking at a new level and at a new focus. Dr. Juneja has got a big ol brain!😁
I have chronic myeloid leukemia and had none of the typical leukemia symptoms. I presented with GI issues because my high WBC caused inflammation in my intestines and colon. I’m thankful that happened because I went to the ER and my counts were so high I was admitted and tested for leukemia.
Wow so interesting ! Thank you ! 🩸👍
Very informative
Good information but I do have to (respectfully) correct one thing Dr. Juneja said. He stated that venous pressure is the bottom number on a blood pressure measurement. The bottom number is the lowest pressure in the arteries during the cardiac cycle. Pressure in the veins is usually 8-10 mmHg.
Who cares
Came here for this and was hoping for exactly this type of comment. Less of an „uhm, actually“ but just respectful help. Must admit, I had to rethink everything I know about my knowledge about blood pressure there for a second xD
@@adityagurung017For science? Truth? Having correction information?? Think better.
Almost sure it's an oopsie more than a lack of knowledge. Or maybe he holds the hand device upside down 😂
I think it was trying to make it easier for a layperson to understand. RN-Me knows the definition but has had to explain it many times in less technical language.
Every doctor should sound like this!!!
He’s a really good teacher, makes complicated topics very easy to understand
that explanation about antibodies🔥🔥
Great video!
I had trace hematuria for many years. I was told not to worry about it. After many years I was diagnosed with interstitial cystitis.
Great! So interesting and understandable! I've learned a lot, thank you!
He’s great and cute too! Bring Sanjay back for more. He reminds me of the haematology oncologist I had to see. Are they all upbeat, smart geeks?
I wish
