Just want to echo advocating for yourself. I diagnosed myself with acute appendicitis and drove myself to the hospital in the wee hours of the morning a few years back. I was told I was not exhibiting enough pain for it to be a big deal, even though i checked all the other physical exam boxes for acute appendicitis. I told them i have a high pain tolerance from dealing with chronic pain for decades and I fought to get a CT scan. When i was back in my room immediately after the scan talking to nurses and heard someone running down the hallway. It was my physician. I had acute appendicitis and they were scared that bursting was imminent. I was in the OR in like 15 minutes. Had I listened to the white coats I would be dead and my children would no longer have their father. Just because they have MD by their name and a white coat doesn't make them infallible.
I read about a guy who explained how he lost his testicle because they did not think he was having an acute torsion. The nurse just won't believe him.
lol i went through the exact opposite ; at 12 i got pain flares in my belly, my mom who's a nurse touches it and concludes it might be appendicitis. By the time i went to my doctor the pain's gone. Fearing of making a fool of myself for coming without being sick i pretend it hurt like hell ; got sent to the hospital. At the hospital it still doesn't hurt and i fear even more to look like an idiot ; i keep faking pain every step along the way until i'm admitted to surgery. Turns out i actually had appendicitis, my organ was bloated and purple and it was beginning to turn into a peritonitis.
I'm very grateful to myself for listening to my own stupidity lmao
Chronic pain patient here since 2006. I FEEL YOU❤ And I'm SUPER GLAD your babies have their Daddy!!🥹🫶
Honestly, I can relate to this. I do have chronic pain, but I have no idea how bad it is because I'm very weird about pain. In my experience minor bumps and serious injury have presented with very similar pain levels. Like, stubbing my toe and breaking my toe felt the same to me, as an example.
I'm always worried about the possibility of being in a situation where I should be experiencing a level of pain that lets me and everyone else know something is really wrong, but actually feeling only what could be described as 'significant discomfort'.
My doctor was the opposite. When I told him I had lower right abdominal pain he had me come in that day. He gave me a classic manual test that was symptomatic for appendicitis. He had me go in for a CT scan with a blood dye and barium drink. They had me go in for surgery immediately because my appendix was ready to burst.
Paramedic here. Don't let EMS elicit a refusal. There are lots of things we can assess for and treat, but there are also a lot of things we can't do. Yeah, a 28 year old is not likely to have a heart attack. Most EMS systems can't do tests to completely rule that out. More crucially, a 28 year old shouldn't be having unexplainable chest pain either! Get that checked out!
I went to urgent care once because I was coming off a 2 day bout of norovirus and had severe acid reflux, I said the magic words "chest pain" and they immediately put me in a room and rolled in the portable EKG which of course showed nothing (then I fell asleep for 2 hours until someone came back and gave me some antacid and a saline IV)
Same holds truth with a triage nurse. I once was almost turned away when I had a deadly infection. Woke up middle of the night with pain in my underarm, thought I slept wrong and went back to sleep. Pain was worse in the morning and on the bus ride to work every bump caused shooting pain in my under arm. I noticed that one side of my finger where I tore a hangnail was red and started to check it out The whole side of my finger was red, warm and tender and the red streak was traveling up my forearm. Knew it was lymphangitis and headed to emergency. Triage nurse took my vitals and said nothing was wrong and tried to send me off. I told her firmly that I have a serious infection and she was not a doctor, and is not qualified to make a diagnosis, and that if she wouldn't let me see a doctor she would be looking for a job tomorrow. She admitted me, doctor took one look at my arm and said you need antibiotics. He drew a line on my arm with a pen where the infection was and went off to get antibiotics. He came back and looked at it, redness had progressed further up my arm. He gave me the antibiotics and said if I had waited another 24hrs it could have been critical, he said give the antibiotics 12hrs and if you dont see it stop progressing or its getting worse come back immediately. I then told him about the triage and his only response was in shock and disgust "Oh! Really?!" Dont know what happened to that nurse, honestly dont care. Thankfully antibiotics took effect quickly, and in a few hours it had already started receding. Was some strong cocktail, only 3 doses a day for 2 days. For almost 10 years after that the lymph nodes in my left armpit would flare up at the most mundane of infections and ache. If you know somethin is wrong, stand your ground.
Well now after the covid jabs young kids are having them! Heart attacks! Lot's of young people teens, 20 somethings and 30 year olds. Things are different now after the people were told to take the jabs.
Not that i recommend it, but i've had intense chest pain after an excessive amount of caffeine before. I was an uninsured college student on minimum wage so i made the strategic gamble i'd be fine and lucked out. I figured if i wasn't fine it wasn't like i could afford to not be at work for even the briefest periods of time and that if they health issues didn't get me the financial ones would. Faced with a literal "pick your poison" i made my choice and thankfully won that bet. Had i gone in to the hospital for a false alarm i would have ended my education and what ended up turning into my career due to the financial strain of a medical bill.
Precordial catch syndrome totally fits the description "unexplainable chest pain" and is harmless as far as anyone knows. If you know you're experiencing precordial catch syndrome, probably not worth panicking even if it's chest pain that no one understands the cause of.
seeing the real patient gave me chills. Huge difference seeinng the actual person.
Keep it up!
Ditto!! Take my money!!
I think there was another episode, except the patient played out the whole thing throughout the video, if I'm right and didn't misinterpret/misremember it please do point to it, but I think it's a great tendency. Chubby Emu is growing, as his channel should be, it's both really entertaining and incredibly useful.

Yes, there was one abòut a lady who had been in the military and the burn pile (can't remember exactly what it's called) resulted in her and fellow service women getting advanced stage breast cancer. We saw the real life patient diagnosis@just_peace
God did not do this to you. You did this to you. Mysterious ways is used as excuse so you won’t take responsibility.
I assume a lot of these cases are from medical journals and the patients are mostly anonymous but I loved seeing the patient at the end of this. It is probably a good thing for doctors to approach treatment in an impersonal manner so that they can maintain the same standard of care for every patient, but for educating the general public on medical science and procedure putting a face to the patient adds a certain depth to the case to make it far more memorable.
I think he has said in the past, these cases are either from his or his friends' experiences, so probably a bit more personal than a medical journal.
Actually I disagree that it’s good for a doctor to be impersonal and then can give each patient a good standard of care
ALL the doctors I’ve met who have been friendly, down to earth and just normal have been exceptionally brilliant doctors . They really care about their patients .
The doctors who are impersonal are usually mediocre doctors. They are often very arrogant . They have no connection with their patients . It’s more about the status of being a doctor rather than wanting to treat a patient. I’ve met doctors who have a
‘God Complex ‘
Vaxxed?
Almost died once myself from food posioning. When I called the ambulance I told them what was going on. They told me to go and sleep it off. I insisted they take me to the hospital. They told the nurse I wasnt all that bad off. When the nurse did get to me she immediately put me in a room. I had two ivs put in for fluid intake and was given a large dose of morphine because I was in a lot of pain because my kidneys were shutting down and other organs were feeling it. I was in the hospital for a week. In the end no permanent damage done byt my doctor told me had I gone home by morning I would have been either in a coma or dead. Glad I stuck up for myself.
I am someone who will lose a lot of fluid easily with gastroenteritis. Everyone laughs at people with it going at two ends. Twice have I been hospitalized overnight for gastroenteritis and I have landed in the ER several times. It's not a joke nor is it a matter of willpower. When you are that sick from a virus, sometimes it is better to get medical attention. 440k of people alone last year went to the ER bc of Norovirus. 110k-ish were hospitalized. So yeah. I can understand how people can die from it. Recovery from a stomach virus is absolute hell. I would rather recover in the hospital than take 3-4 days to get bsck on my feet.
1st responders are not as caring as their job title suggests.
What was the cause of food poisoning??
What was the cause?
Very similar for me, except for me it was Methylmercury poisoning from consuming commercial morning glory seeds. I was young, dumb and poor and just trying to get high for cheap. They told me I was "'probably just having an anxiety attack". They tried to discourage me from getting in the ambulance and going to the hospital because it would be "very expensive".
I was an EMT for 7 years. The crew that convinced him he didn’t have to go to the ER were exactly the type of coworkers I left EMS because of. I witnessed so many EMS personnel gaslight, invalidate and even falsify patient vitals, just to avoid doing more work. Left such a bad taste in my mouth. Always felt like my coworkers had forgotten that they were dealing with peoples’ lives. I feel so unbelievably infuriated hearing about this story, and how this guy could have gotten sooner treatment if he just hadn’t been invalidated by the EMS crew that responded to his call.
Yeah this was so strange, usually here when you get a sudden chest pain they send you to hospital just in case. It also doesn't take long to get the stickies on and do a read.
@@Iflie In this case, didn't they do just that. And the read didn't fit with a heart attack. And since that wasn't it: nah, probably no problem here...
@@Asptuber Even so, I would be looking at getting the medical director on the phone before I made the decision to leave a chest pain at home, especially with mid sternal radiating into the neck and fingers. That’s a blaring red flag that I would never be so arrogant to think my little pre-hospital BLS knowledge would cover the entire scope of what could be happening internally, even with a normal read. Chest pain can of course be pulmonary, gastrointestinal, musculoskeletal, but dead center cp with a recent hx of 3 energy drinks and lifting 500lbs? Yeah, you’re going to the hospital buddy. I don’t care what my lifepak says lol I would never feel comfortable making the call that nothing serious was happening with that hx. And regardless, if a pt wants to go to the hospital, who am I to convince them not to? What is it really taking away from to bring them to the hospital? An hour of my life? Some paperwork?
@@Asptuber Not sure if they did that or did a bloodpressure cuff and listened to the heart. I only got stickies myself when in an ambulance with the monitor above my head.
@@rmatt816Well said~
One of my college professors was an elderly blind man with an assistant. He told us on the first day to keep an eye on your blood pressure, especially if you lift heavy things. Apparently, he was a body builder decades ago and destroyed his eyes when the vessels all burst at the same time, making him blind.
That’s probably the craziest way to go blind ill ever hear of in my life
I used to be a body builder. Then gave it up but still went to the gym a lot . My muscles expanded and my nerves got trapped . My Median Nerve was totally severed . I was totally paralysed in my right hand for two years and was in excruciating pain 24/7.
My Neurologist believed it was through lifting weights . An Orthopaedic Surgeon explained to me in detail why lifting weights was bad for the body Anyway I had two operations to relieve the paralyses . One Op was 8 hours long . And after the op It was rather painful !
@@cherrymetha3185what are the ways bodybuilders can prevent this nerve blockage?
I really really hope he said keep an eye on it, because that would be extremely hilarious. Love a good professor with humor.
26 year old into heavy weightlifting. and yes, caffeine. this was definitely a good wake up call to keep my caffeine tolerance in check. Only in moderation. thank you so much for the inspiring story, much respect for luis for pushing through and sharing his story with the world 💪
Or just avoid caffeine atall
I really, really don't get why caffeine is ever considered for working out. caffeine is a stimulant and causes both heart rate increases AND vasoconstriction (narrowing of the blood vessels), taking caffeine and working out is basically guaranteed to cause serious cramping because you're actively lowering the amount of oxygen that gets to your muscles WHILE increasing your heart rate. I've asked doctors about this and they all say "yea technically you're completely right but people do it all the time so it's whatever". I don't understand why anyone ever gets told it's even remotely accetable to take caffeine before a workout. It's a medical danger that should be avoided at all costs, there is no acceptable amount. If you want your heart rate to go up before working out.....thats what warm-ups are for
@@nomorenames5568 yea just avoid caffeine completely. caffeine is an addicting drug that does more harm than good
How great is it to see the patient alive and doing so well.
And his future... 🎉
praise be
This hits close to home, I also developed a caffeine addiction during covid…used to be every gym sesh then it became every 12 hrs and it was only drinks that included 300mg 🤢 I understand I messed up…you can only be aware of what you decide to understand and that thing was me turning a blind eye to all the side effects as a dumb teenager….i seen other people down TWO ghosts 🤢

A very close family member in his low 20s had an aortic dissection after he got the flu and vomited too hard. Luckily he made it, and in this case it turns out to be related to a genetic disease and weakened connective tissue. We're grateful he made it, but it was terrifying.
My grandmother who lived alone had one while on the phone to one her grand daughter.
Luckily the GD called an ambulance which got to her in time.
Is it Ehlers Danlos Syndrome? I was diagnosed after my splenic artery randomly ruptured.
@@Valve8806 I was thinking of that as well. autistic people tend to have an above average chance of having it for some reason so I was wondering if I could get myself checked for it (my body is very wacky in general, a lot of chronic stuff).
@@Valve8806 It’s either the vascular variant of Ehlers-Danlos syndrome (rare) or Marfan syndrome. Both affect connective tissues.
As a 1st Year Medical student in his Cardiology block who just learned about Aortic dissections last week, this was amazing. Thank you !!
I am a type A aortic dissection survivor and nurse. I had my dissection at age 27. Thank you for bringing awareness to aortic dissection❤
Seen this in a couple of young patients too - one doing pull-ups in the gym, the other person on the toilet. Both very lucky to be alive
What was it like? Im worried about it. My heartbeat is extremely apparent in my stomach if my blood pressure rises at all and I used to abuse stimulants for 3 ish years and I feel like I'll never be the same. Its my neck and my stomach where I can't even do activity without feeling how I use to where my heart beat used to be more actually in my chest. My resting heart rate is anywhere from 60-100 just depends. My HRV & more via Welltory was exceptional
Have you been checked for Marfan syndrome? My father's aortic arch and descending aorta dissected. My brother has the same problem. I do not.
Oh my gosh so young 😨
How terrifying! I am so glad you’re ok ❤❤

@@chubbyemu i give it a 5% chance this comment is telling the truth
Maybe watch the video until the end ...
@@chubbyemuHey wait a second...
This case is about you/your family isn't it? LF being a doctor, recognizing what was happening with him, the caffeine addiction...
Edit: Oh wow LF at the end! Glad to see he pulled through! And that it wasn't you, even you recognizing that it could have been you
Glad that your brother pulled through!
Such a sad story but I was relieved at the end. I loved the statement you made that “…Fitness is a celebration of the movement we have” That’s a beautiful idea!
How beautiful hearing from the patient himself. Thank you for this Chubbyemu, this made my day👍❤️🏴
When he says "made incisions to relieve the pressure in his leg" it sounds pretty benign. But he's referring to as procedure called a fasciotomy, which is pretty gnarly. Usually two incisions along the entire length of both sides of the leg. If you've ever seen it then you know. Pretty crazy wounds, but that procedure has saved many a limb.
I am a registered nurse. I always learn so much from your videos. In fact, I relearn what I have forgotten about physiology, biochemistry, pathology, etc..
Please don’t stop describing things correctly even if a lot of your audience doesn’t understand the terms and the processes of bodily function. I love the refresher course in all your videos.
i love the way he explains everything in a way that even though you dont understand every words exact meaning you still understand what he is talking about in a general sense

I've been watching for years and this was certainly my favorite episode. I enjoyed how personal it was allowed to be; from dad to Luis and the suspense was the most intense its ever been! There were multiple treatments approached and problems kept arising. I loved the public messaging of it as well, great job you all!
BEST Chubby Emu so far! Loved the interview of the patient , and sooo glad he survived. subscribed
My heart broke when the patient was giving his mother his passwords and last wishes. Imagine that moment. I love hearing from the patients afterwards. Luis, I'm glad you're here and still making a difference in patients' lives!
I did the same thing when I went into the ER with a heart attack after working out. I gave my brother a call and gave him my bank info and my last wishes. Being young doesn't mean you won't get a heart attack. Luis was young at 28 compared to me at 34, when I had my heart attack. I never felt any chest pain or arm numbles, but I had one crazy headache after lifting some weight. Drove myself to ER like an idiot, should call EMS but lucky made it to hospital in time and no accident driving there with a heart attack. Made into ER with BP of 250/160 and troponin level 480. If you feel something is off always go in, it could save your life.
Gotta change my passwords from "80085" to "studyinghard13"
Tip: Life’s a lot easier when you have that planned-out in advance. My family uses a password manager and if one is incapacitated or dies, the others can get emergency access to everything needed.

OMG... Chubbyemu squatted at least 220kg!!! I knew he's a powerlifter before, but no idea he's this strong. My gross estimates put him around ~82 to 98kg. That's easily around ~2 - 2.5x his bodyweight. It's advance to elite powerlifter levels! Outstanding!

That ad segment where your dad helps you with the workout and where you return the favor is so wholesome! Dads and sons working out together is such a good vibe

Thanks to Luis for sharing his story so openly! this story helps raise awareness on the risks of lifting heavy weights and what can happen especially if not properly supervised and trained. Louis here helping to potentially save lives outside of the hospital as well as in it
Not really he probably had a very rare event, which is why the first set of EMT's though it was an aberration.
If weight lifters were keeling over from this constantly it would be better known.
Not to mention the dangers of going crazy on supplements, legal or not. There's a reason why doctors nag patients about blood pressure (when it is an issue, of course).
Very little risk to lifting heavy weights actually. It’s called progressive loading. You get stronger, you lift heavier
@@Jared-Kreate There's no point lifting stupidly heavy weights regardless of whether your goal is to get strong, aesthetic, or just healthy - or at least I struggle to see the benefit relative to the cost.
@@rutvin8763 it’s only stupid if your not strong enough to lift that weight. But there’s no higher risk with training for strength than there is training any other way
Hey chubbyemu! It's been a long time since I watched your videos. I just randomly remembered you the other day and now I saw your video in recommendation. it's so nice to see that you are still uploading.
EDIT: Holy crap, this became recommended at a perfect time for me. I recently began consuming about 600 milligrams of caffeine on my workout days and while the results are great and I feel fine, this convinced me to cut it down a bit. Potential long-term consequences are not worth it and I can already tell that that much caffeine affect my sleep, which cannot be good. You even mentioned in your video how long it takes for body to break down caffeine and it is scary, it looks like my body is "high" on caffeine most of the time. And despite having a soft addiction before (on my vacations I could go for days without coffee), my addiction could have easily become a real problem with the amount I have been consuming. Oh, and last week I had a funny incident when my pre-workout kicked-in (tons of caffeine) and I almost knocked down the air bike while getting off it (warming up), I was so high on caffeine then... I hit my leg really hard, so much it was bruised pretty badly the following morning.
Oh well, it was fun while it lasted. I felt like I could do anything....
Doesn't matter. I already made a huge progress in the gym without these caffeine-heavy supplements, I can do it again.
You might have saved my health with this video.
Homie, you absolutely do not need caffeine if you eat and rest properly
if you need preworkout to lift heavy properly than something is going wrong with diet and recovery or you are competing at the highest level. No normal person needs preworkout shits a scam
@@ayanaalemayehu2998
I stopped using pre-workout and all caffeine supplements except for ordinary morning coffee with milk. It's been two days since my last dose and I can already see that if I kept consuming that much caffeine, my body would have suffered.
On one hand, my performance was indeed better than ever, on the other hand, I could have seriously injured myself.
Yesterday my workout was slower than normal, my group and I were doing mostly legs but they felt kinda sore so I was taking it slow. Today is my rest day and my shoulders, wrists and arms are little bit sore, despite not doing anything too demanding yesterday. I am convinced it's a symptom of overworking myself for weeks and forcing my body over natural limits, which I could not feel because I was so high on caffeine all the time. Thanks to chubbyemu, I realized that my body couldn't have digested such high doses of caffeine completely before a new dose arrived. I slept less than normal, which is a bad sign on its own.
But I am going to slightly miss it, my performance at the gym and (not too demanding) physical work felt like it was 200% better, faster....
Maybe that would continue to be a case until my body gave in. Nope. Never again.
Why would you need to consume that much caffeine?
Great episode! I loved the weightlifting clips and I really enjoyed LF explaining things at the end.
Love a chubbyemu video where the patient survived and gets interviewed.
14:00 The reason why more aortic dissections happen in the winter and in the morning is from people shoveling snow. People fail to realize how heavy snow is and how strenuous this particular activity can be, which is why it's so common to happen during this season and timeframe. Please Google it yourself to confirm this.
That’s interesting thanks. I was curious why it was higher on winter mornings when that came up in the vid
is it only common in areas with a lot of snow then? cause they are less and less with each year
this is why I shovel in layers. I realized as a kid that shit is heavy so I shovel about 4 inches each time.
Google Scholar instead of just 'Google' as a search engine when looking at medicine and biology things
Yeah if your out of shape and don't exercise I shovel snow all the time and exercise alot especially cardio so im probably more then fine
Honestly what a great and informative video. I loved where you and your dad were doing the workouts together, I know being a military veteran myself that us veterans just seek to start exercising with people again- and it looks like you've got your dad goin at it! Aside from that, the video was informative and im glad we got an insider of what Luis felt after everything had happened. Im glad he's furthering his education and using this entire thing as an opportunity to learn more and help others. Thank you for another great video!
Powerful episode...and yet another reminder that moderation is key in all things. It was cool af to see the actual patient and hear the lessons learned straight from his mouth. Best of luck in medical school ♥
i found your channel when i was in high school 6 years ago and i sometimes have struggled to understand the mechanisms behind all those acute and surprising ilnesses, sometimes rewinding 10-20 secs just to listen again and understand
and now here i am, a 3rd year med student, making guesses as i'm watching🥲🥲 at some place in my mind, this channel is linked with my med journey i think.. thats y i love your videos so much
You’ve got an amazing future ahead to be that self aware and attentive to the things younger people overlook. And I’ve never really understood why adolescents are extremely reckless? Like I look back and I’m surprised I’m still alive from all of the things that we had done. Both drug, and just absolutely neglected Situations.
Best advice I can ever give for work, never take ANYTHING at work personally. NOBODY is your friend. It maybe hard to believe because you have to work together. Do not trust nor talk about anyone else at work with another good or bad. It never works out. If you react to someone as well makes you a part of their problem. I’ve learned to listen to everyone and move on. In the end I’m way more stable of a person, and a lot happier knowing I don’t and didn’t contribute to someone else’s problems or anything at that matter. Sometimes I would find myself like working for everyone? Or looking out…. Pffft. All BS.
And AVOID ANY OLACE THAT SAYS “we treat ya like family” ummm who the fuck wants that? I don’t know how everyone else’s family is so in my eyes that’s a predatory behavior. Trying to make an un the wiser person feel comfy for the wrong reasons? Sure want to comfy at work but you’re not cleaning your room and moms not cooking dinner and dad Still is out getting smokes and milk? Sure… but not at work.
If ya knew all this, good on you! But it took me a few years to gather no one knows what they’re really doing, they’ve might of just done it a couple of times before so they think they know it all… literally the answer to every cocky aspect. I’m done
It's so satisfying when your medical predictions become more and more accurate, right?
@@neotronextrem YES!!! even being able to make predictions is making me happy🥹
Man, that is so awesome to hear, good luck to you and may you save many lives with actual physical diagnosis, and not just throwing a pill at a patient.
6 years aho in highschool , now already a 3 year medical student lol . Maths not mathing.
I was already so relieved to hear he recovered but having him come on screen and speak for the closing segment left me nearly crying.
Videos like these make me so grateful for the amazing doctors we have. Thank you so much for sharing these stories.
Not Luis apparently, it was God that did the heavy lifting...
@hipsable You should rewatch this segment 17:13
He was referring to being able to call the second ambulance.
Thing is we would not need doctors or science if we live in nature and eat Natural food that Nature provide and not destroy our body with chemicals that corporations and insane food safety inspections approve to be safe when all food is full of not safe chemicals that destroy us ?? and these doctors and science do not fight for better future do not protest to destroy these psychopathic corporations who make our food and drinks and everything that is in stores on shelf's is full of chemicals that destroy our body and make our life worse and in need of doctors like this young man that is insane and crazy in this lunatic insane world system we live in ???? :(((((
crying? dude...
@@Cheepchipsable Atheists going out of their way to make a point about literally anything
Omg, thank you Luis. I always deeply appreciated the nurses who have chronic illnesses especially. There was a unique level of connection I found as someone who had only recently been diagnosed with a severe condition, and it’s so sad what happened. I am so grateful you’re here and keep going.
Wow! What a great episode! Seeing old Chubbyemu weightlifting vids is great. Also, getting to see and hear from the actual patient the episode was about was really interesting as well!
Such a great episode! Keep up the great work Doc! Thanks so much for this great episode!
2:25 love the gym bro that added the 2.5x2 to each side for a true 500lbs on the bar. The attention to detail on these videos is amazing.
That was ChubbyEmu himself in those shorts.
It is a crucial reminder that we need to listen to our bodies and not underestimate any symptoms. It shows how quickly situations can become life-threatening even when leading a seemingly healthy lifestyle. Best wishes to LF for his future endeavors in the medical field, his personal experience and insight will undoubtedly be tremendously beneficial to his patients.
Drugs and caffeine can mask symptoms or alter your ability to understand/care for it. WFPB
And a reminder that if you feel something is wrong you should push the medical professionals to double check. Too often cases go from bad to worse because a doctor or nurse brushes it off as every day pains. They just assume people are wrong
@@levimathens9092 Blame the overpriced medical system. It surely kills a LOT of people in the USA.
Thank you Dr. Bernard and thank you Luis! It was amazing to be able to hear first hand from the patient that was the subject of the video. So glad you are still with us today and for the incredible medical intervention capabilities of modern medicine. Keep on rollin' we're never out of the fight.
I'm loving the interview from the real patient 💯. I love your videos period. Keep up the great work!
So great that Luis was willing to give an interview. It helps us all to realise we need to take care of ourselves. I have a caffeine addiction and needed to hear this. Both Chubby Emu and Luis are an inspiration! ❤
0:24 "LF was a nurse working in the hospital. During the events of 2020 while taking care of the sudden influx of patients, he developed..." OOO I KNOW THIS ONE! PTSD? Long covid? Severe caregiver burnout? "...a caffeine habit"
WHHHAAAATTTT. Didn't see that coming lol.
I didn't know there were any nurses who DIDN'T have a caffeine habit 😂
My mom would give out 3-in-one instant thai or viet coffee during night shifts and her coworkers drank that shit up and went back for seconds. Especially pcts
@@jessefanshaw8948 Those 3 in 1s are bomb. Those Filipinas on the floor could probably snort it. (Don't do that, it tastes too good lol.)
Are you guys not questioning that he could have gotten the jab. I literally drink 700-800 mg of caffeine and never had heart problems. Smth tells me it's the experimental jab that was the cause especially if the dude had a caffeine tolerance before
@@jessefanshaw8948I drink freshly brewed Viet coffee every morning.
You go Luis! So happy to hear that he's doing well and has such a positive attitude toward life and it's challenges. Definitely an inspiration!
Glad you’re still making current videos. I’m sure a lot of work goes into them but the first few I watched were at least 3 years old. The poor decisions people make are difficultt to comprehend, but I’m glad they give you more content!
I had a stroke at 24. Still not sure what caused it. I want to reiterate what LF said at the end: YOU know your body.
The paramedics originally convinced me I was just having a headache or was dehydrated and left. Luckily my sister, who is a nurse, was living with us at the time and convinced me to go to the hospital anyway.
She and my wife drive me to the hospital and I was in and out of consciousness at this point so I don't remember much. From what they said, the staff were incredibly rude, literally refused to have someone help me get into a wheelchair, or from the wheelchair into the ER bed.
My wife and sister overheard the nurses complaining about me "acting out for meds" despite the fact I was young, healthy, with zero drug use history.
It wasn't until my sister chewed one of them out and told them she was a nurse that they finally agreed to check me out (I'd been in the hospital 1-2 hours at this point).
Low and behold, I had three blood clots in different spots in my brain and was having a stroke.
So, moral of the story is, YOU know your body and YOU know what's normal and what's not. If you feel something is seriously off, don't be ashamed to insist on being seen and checked out.
I was lucky my sister was able to speak for me when I was unconscious, but had I advocated for myself when I was more alert with the paramedics, she may not have had to.
And had I been alone, advocating for myself might have been the difference between literal life and death.
Be well, folks.
How can people go into the medical field and still let their own biases decide who lives and who doesn't.... I know nursing is a very demanding profession but some people shouldn't be nurses acting like that. Wouldn't it be better to treat one first and ask the questions later?
I can only wish you the best, that what you went through is one scary story
@@Hecker9974 A lot if nurses are psychopaths and like control. Its the female equivalent of male cops that abuse their power.
-An EMT
Yes unfortunately I see many nurses like that, it happens more than it should.
@@Hecker9974 cheers 🙂
As a nurse who worked in the ER for 30 years, stories like yours horrify me. Get the full story & treat the symptoms, it ain't rocket science! Though I've worked with some that are too quick to assume the patient is a malingerer
The chubbiest emo returns
Emu.
Seriously? @@samiraperi467Another epic video drops and your only concern is a spelling error? Go have a few prime
Yeah, there's something familiar about that heavy lifting actor.
What a great story and very informative. Prayers and blessing to both you and LF!
It's beyond cool to see the patient show up at the end and give a few words.
LB, I'm glad you not only pulled through, but you keep trooping on and moving forward. We don't know each other, but if we did... I'd be proud of ya.
Good luck to you Luis. Glad you are still around to help others. Hopefully over time you will make a full recovery.
I was truly moved by this video. Thank you for making this 👍
Much love to LF. Very Happy you are still here with us!
To go from "a recovery" to an actual testimony of the patient and their story from that point on was amazing
I'm glad to hear from him and know he's doing okay. Thanks for including that.
Great presentation and analysis as always dr Bernard !! So happy to see your sweet Dad in the Video
you are the best chubbyemu, still my favorite new video notification all these years later!
Your way of presentation is refreshing. Thank you, it was a treat.
4:15 I remember watching your videos when I was around 15 years old (now I'm 23), I was a huge fan of your Nuclear throne gameplays and I remember when you shared your experience as a powerlifter. Watching you again at that minute gave me a lot of good nostalgia :')
Luis looks like a very humble guy thankful to be alive. I trust he's putting more care and understanding into patient care from his experience. He'll be who patients look forward to seeing simply from the good energy he puts forth. Good wishes, Luis, that you have the best time in your career and satisfaction at the end of every day. 💖
LB great to see you at the end of the video! What an ordeal, it’s incredible you made it through. Praying for your success in all future endeavors.
I have to give it to you! Your soundtracks makes the videos flow smooth! Carry on sir!
Love this channel! I can't tell you how many times i've said "I eat/drink that!" Not to the excess that some of these people do, but it sure makes me take a second and even a third look at my diet and what I am doing to my body. It also astonishes me that our bodies are so resilient and can recover from what seems like game over.
Thank you for making and sharing these videos! 👍
Take care of yourself! You only have one body and if you push it too far, there will be no do-overs.
As a high school student who just finished my cardiovascular unit - I felt so cool knowing all these terms in time for this video !
as a fifth grader ,this guy makes me learn more stuff than what I do at school
@@rts6829 what youre learning in school is probably more important than knowing a bunch of medical terms
@@gwennnnnnnnnnnn bro I just had a science competition about the digestive system
I just noticed your little medical pin and it's honestly really cool. I love it.
thank you for the vidio! also it was very cool to hear from the patient i hope he heals more and gets stronger! best wishes luis! you get better so you can do all that you dream
This was such a great one. We See Chubby in the gym, we see the real sick person, he is a going on to help a lot of people, I might try co--pilot .
Such an amazing story, praise the Lord for allowing him to make a full recovery and praise the knowledge given to the medical team to help him make his recovery
Love your vids!! Never noticed on others, awesome use of Doom for the background music.
God bless you Luis for making people aware. And good luck with your future brother.
Those weightlifting videos of Chubby are insane!
It's crazy that the government doesn't *require* companies to put the exact amount of caffeine contained in each drink, as well as warnings for heart conditions.
As someone from the eu i would be scared to drink and eat stuff in the us. Shit doesnt need to be labeled + tons of chemicals in the food isnt a good combination.
Thank you Luis and Chubby. There is most definitely truth to having a patient turned provider, then provider turned patient. I was a spine/ortho patient turned provider until a recent neck injury in the OR derailed my new career. Now I am in orthopedics helping many people a day as opposed to in the OR helping one. You have a much different, more caring approach when you know what your patients are going through. Many trainers have told me, you can’t teach compassion.
Great video Chubbs, well explained and illustrated. Good to hear from the patient at the end too. Really enjoying your content. Glad I subscribed. 👍
14:07 “yo dawg I heard you like blood vessels so I put some blood vessels on your blood vessels so you can pump blood while you pump blood”
So do those blood vessels also need blood vessels?
Doctors in Utah saved my right arm and most likely my life from a 2”x4” subclavian vein blood clot. I was so lucky to come across the doctors that I did.
I want more patient interviews! Super cool he decided to talk to us at the end. Also super cool watching you lift :)
Thank you to the actual patient for sharing your story and advice! Good luck with your studies!
It hits a lot harder when you see the actual patient, this was a really interesting one
The details on what the body is going through during lifting in the 'Thoughts about what could have happened' segment are incredibly informative.
nice video, thanks chubbyemu!
great chapter titles as always!
Amazing video, as always. Best of luck for your studies LF!
I like that you played the actor in this episode 🎉
What doesn't kills you makes you stronger, Luis Flores came back to learn more and share that knownledge. Awesome
Continued blessings for you young man and I'm so glad you learned to change your ways as some do not. Lovings hugs 🥰🤗
Glad to hear Luis is okay and best of luck with your studies!
1:57 04/20 spotted on the aspirin bottle :D
How old are you, 15?
Nice😏
That's the Austrian failed painters birthday too lol
@@irfuel Almost, I'm 51.
7:45 More DOOM soundtrack.
Thank you so much for sharing. What a great video and inspiring young man. My mom died suddenly from an aortic dissection last April. I am SO glad that Luis is on the road to recovery. We never know just how much time we have!
Hopefully Luis continues to recover and it was really cool to hear his story as the actual patient too. His adaptive approach to his new life is super inspirational. I hope he continues to help others as well, massive respect to all those working and studying medicine. ❤
One of the most emotionally intense episodes Chubbyemu has ever made, and (SPOILER ALERT) I felt relieved and prayed for Louis when he appeared at the end, appearing well. Now I know that health is so easily disrupted and so hard to fix.
PS: rare footages of an early weightlifting Chubbyemu comes in clutch
Guy is drinking prime energy
Gross
That explains why his heart popped
I’m so happy for you Luis! What happened to you must’ve been really scary, but you’re still here with us, and that’s what matters the most. Life works in weird ways and things can irreversibly change in a split second; every new day we get to live is a gift and not a given, and we often forget that. You got close to the end, but you managed to come back from it thanks to your resilience, the medical team that did their best for you, and perhaps some other force. Regardless of what allowed you to have another chance, we should all be thankful for it. Even if things are different after your accident (which is normal to be sad and upset about), being able to laugh along with your loved ones still is what matters the most. Live your life to the fullest. Make happy memories and spend time with whom and what you love. Be well Luis, I wish you the best in your studies. :)
I learn so much for your videos, and this episode was awesome, it was really cool to see the patient
4:33 That's looking like SwollEmu, not a Chubby one!
Is that a younger Chubby Emu at 04:37?
Thumb Up for Louis.
Thanks for sharing this with us.
Thank you for sharing your story, Luis! (I'm also a nurse)
And thank you chubby emu for highlighting it with a video. I found this case study particularly interesting, I did not realize that could happen to the aorta... Like period.
