I know this is a joke, but it brings up a very big problem in modern tv characters its not that Mike criticques him for knowing it,its that characters that know everything that is convinient for the plot are some of the most lazily writen ones
Fun fact, when Mike says that the tiger knows the weak spots of the body he's not wrong. Tigers whiskers are so sensitive that they can sense the bloodflow in veins. So they can actully sense where your most vulnerable veins and arteries are.
Funny enough, looking at the body language of the tiger it actually seems to playing. If it really was trying to harm the lady she’d be harmed. However the bites seem to be purposefully light
@@itsmxtwisteven little house kittens can hurt people unintentionally, the tiger playing is still a threat because she isn't a trained professional who can read his body language.
@@itsmxtwistmany household animals can't even recognise that their claws hurt humans, even when we make a great effort to inform them that it does. So yeah if I can't trust a household animal to know what hurts me, I sure as hell am not gonna trust a tiger that's being playful to know what is and isn't okay lmao
As a recently retired dancer, thank you for talking about the dangers of hyperextension! I was trained in a very “deeper stretch is always better” era where everyone was shooting for the most intense oversplits, etc. Being able to take my split past 180 degrees didn’t make me a better dancer and now I have a lot of knee and hip pain in my early 20s (and many of my former teammates are in the same situation). It’s a cool trick but not worth the risk imo.
yeah same, my knees hyperextend and then I went to a trampoline park and when I jumped I tore my ACL because of it, and of course it was worse than a usual one because of it, and then I danced on it and kept reinjuring it, and now my knee is screwed up to the point of barely functioning
Same with martial arts. As I got older I realised that a lot of my family members had hyperflexibilty and joint pain, and then I heard about how you actually shouldn't overextend your joints if possible. Every day is a learning day!
Dr. Mike: "Yo, that tiger know the weakness of the human body" Me after watching lots of his videos: I think anywhere on our body is a weakness at this point
As someone who went through four years of speech therapy because of a Thrust tongue, I think you for being a speech therapist. I know it's not easy on either side. I hope the year is kind to you.
we do actually already call a stroke a brain attack in Dutch. Heart attack is sometimes called: Hartinfarct. And a stroke is sometimes refered to as a: Herseninfarct (Hersen = brain, infarct= infarction/attack)
14:43 the technician who took my EKG explained after i asked curiously that my heart seemed fine and started attempting to explain why it was fine despite how the diagram looked inconsistent. I replied "oh, so my heart rate is changing, but it's changing properly." She was a bit taken aback by how simply i put it and that i was actually able to interpret what she meant. sometimes the reason things in books are different is simpler to explain than the way an academic would usually approach it. That's why we have science communicators.
This video reminds me of a conversation that I ended up joiniing at a store. "How is your back doing?" "The sprain isn't really healing very fast. I don't think the muscle relaxants are working. I think I should take more." This is when I jumped in "I think that it's a really bad idea. You should talk to your doctor." "Are you a doctor, how would you know that?" "Because muscle relaxants relax you musles and your heart is a muscle. Do you know what wuold happen if your heart relaxed to much?" She looked horrified and left.
7:18 The trick with heat against mosquito bites really works. The heat denatures the protein that the mosquitoes inject into the bite and prevents the blood from coagulating at the bite site. The protein also causes the itching. When it is denatured, the bite itches less
@@shannonweaver2169 if you're burning yourself, you're doing it wrong. the trick is to find the sweetspot where is as hot as possible without burning you, like barely tolerable. I heat up a spoon with a lighter (looking like a junkie) and hover over / quickly tap on the mosquito bite until I feel I can gently press it down without burning me. Also it has to be done as soon as possible after the bite for best results.
@@fleggitier Run the spoon under the hot water tap. That water should be roughly 120-125°F (49-52°C). It's hot enough for the trick to work, but not so hot it'll burn you.
@@shannonweaver2169 The more intense itching that occurs after a bug bite is due to chemicals left behind by the bug, usually ones that act as anticoagulants so the blood doesn't clot. The hot spoon trick, which requires a much-hotter-than-comfortable but not-so-hot-it-burns-you spoon (I just run mine under the hot tap), uses the heat from the spoon to break down the chemicals. Yes, it will still itch, but just the much more mild and occasional itch of healing. It loses that intense and pervasive itchiness that bug bites usually have.
As an optometrist, I screamed at the lady who said you don't need glasses 😭 what she said is such a HUGE misconcept and I hate to see it shared as a fact. I hate Tiktok.
Even assuming psychosomatic conditions can affect eyesight, surely the solution is still to put eyeglasses on to prevent strain? At least that's what mine decided was the correct course of action.
Nah that actually sounds right to me Like sure I could go to a doctor who's spend years learning and practicing their trade and has seen thousands of patients But why would I do that when I can just pray and think positively and B E L E I V E But I also love how she says there's "mental, emotional, physical, and even spiritual" like do you realize one of these was physical?? And that's what the optometrists and glasses are for?
Not an optometrist, but a glasses wearer. I'd like to see her "fix" my -9.75 SPH (OS) and -6.25 SPH (OD) with severe astigmatism in both eyes through spiritual means. Sure would be a feat to behold.
@@KT-1429 uh I feel for you, although I "only" have -6.25/-5.25 D sph in my glasses. But if you ever happen to mee6 this "expert" woman to help you correct your vision, please let me know how it went 🤣
So about mosquito bites and hot spoons: It works, though not in a very controlled way. There are specific devices (not that expensive) which heat a small metal plate to exactly 42°C (iirc) for a set amount of time. This denaturates the proteins from the bite which are responsible for the itching and swelling, and they work extremely well - it basically goes away instantly. Spoons or similar ways a problematic since you have to heat them up a lot, since they lose their heat extremely quickly, so they can actually burn your skin.
I like to bunch up a towel and wet the rounded end with water just hot enough to be uncomfortable. I can quickly apply and remove it, plus the evaporation cools the skin quickly afterward
"The fact that the eyeglass and sunglass industry is run by like two or three major players." I'm glad you called this out. I used to work for a local optical lab, and within ten years it went from independently owned and operated to being purchased by Essilor, and several years later Essilor went on to merge with Luxottica. It felt like I was the only person working there who thought that was a *bad* thing. I suppose one could argue that Essilor focused primarily on lenses while Luxottica focused on frames, but that's still giving a single corporation a ridiculous amount of power over an industry.
1:50 As a massage therapist I can confirm that you are 100% correct! Everyone always thinks it’s the muscles in their back but there’s three muscle groups it could be! Hamstrings, Gluteal Muscles or the lower back muscles!
The man who was in the "I've never knowingly eaten a veggie" video later admitted (I think in the same video) that he drinks V8, or some other veggie drink, so to all those who go off singular clips like that, do research please! Many people who make bogus health claims knowingly or unknowingly obstruct the truth to make their claims more popular for social media. Thanks Dr Mike for clearing up the craziness!
Though in all fairness, it's not completely impossible if the body is properly adjusted and the eater not picky. Traditionally, a lot of cultures that live in mostly frozen regions such as Alaska or parts of Siberia, where crops simply do not grow, have had pure meat diets in the past. HOWEVER, they didn't simply live off of prime beef steaks, they then ate everything to get the nutrients they need, including offal such as liver, bones for broths and some plants such as berries or seaweed, if applicable. Any one sided diet, be it veganism or pure meat eating can be harmful if done incorrectly, however, as omnivores, we humans are allowed a broad range of flexibility, which is helpful. We can easily adjust our diets to fit lifestyle choices or dietary requirements and, as Dr Mike said, what works for some may not work for others.
3:16 a family member of mine is a speech pathologist and I regularly say “I feel bad for the people you help” because sometimes they aren’t good at speaking, reminder we are family, it is fine.
4:55 - It's a good thing that that lady with the tiger knew that it was just playing, so she stayed calm and gently pushed back. If she had panicked and struggled, the tiger would probably have chomped down harder, and/or her own struggle would have pulled her arm against its teeth and done more damage. The tiger was not, in that moment, biting to kill; it was just being playful- but they don't realize that we aren't as robust as they are; they can't play with us the same as they do with each other. If the tiger was hungry and going for the kill, she would be dead already. I don't know what the relationship was between that gal and that tiger, whether this was an experienced trainer or zookeeper, or just someone taking a photo op. But good on her for staying calm! She must at least have cats at home, to know what to do! That being said: do NOT mess with big cats! Playful can go too far. Play can switch into instinct to kill quickly. Animal emotions and moods can switch and we humans might not catch the signs right away, and they are big strong killing machines. Don't mess with them!
I didn’t even think of that, your right! I wonder if she had some kind of experience with large cats? I mean if a 500 pound tiger was play-biting me, I don’t think I’d like that!😆
@@tell-me-a-story- Honestly you really just need experience working with any animal + a good knowledge-base of feline behaviors which you can easily get just by living with cats. Like op said that tiger is pretty clearly playing if you understand cat body language, and if you work first-hand with really any animal you learn to stay calm even when they're doing something alarming because if _you_ start to freak out, the animal will also start to freak out and/or see that as an easy opening for attack. I work as a professional dog bather, and even with aggressive dogs who visibly want to hurt you, the best thing you can do is stay calm. I've had multiple instances where just by me staying calm, I was able to pick up a (small) dog that was actively trying to bite me and went completely unharmed
Came here to say this. If that tiger wanted to kill her she'd be dead already. Pretty sure this lady knew that and that's why she was calm. Generally, predators only attack if they think your food, or if they think you're a threat. And I've thought for a long time that the only real difference between domestic cats and large cats is size.
As someone with both sensory and auditory processing disorders who received help from both an occupational therapist and speech language pathologist in school I just wanted to second Mike’s shout out to them, I may not have been officially diagnosed with either disorder at the time I received services from them but they were both incredibly helpful nonetheless!
Your page I love you are everything we need in the world of Doctors I am glad someone genuinely debunks this ridiculous stuff. Also as someone who has chronic pains they can’t figure out we will be a medicated world and its sad i look like a pharmacy at home and have taken nothing cause theres zero explanation just “i am unsure but you say your in pain heres all these meds” very sad
Thanks for shouting out physical and occupational therapists!!! Y’all are *essential* and amazing at helping us become mobile again we *seriously* appreciate you 🥰
@@SobrietyandSolaceyou’re working with the wrong OTs and PTs then! I have extreme hypermobility (hEDS) and have finally found absolutely fantastic therapists that have helped me get my life back in general but especially after my several surgeries. It took a long time to find the right ones who were well versed in hypermobility but they’re out there! Keep looking and don’t give up!
Shout out to speech pathologists?! Thank you SO MUCH for spreading awareness of our VERY important job in the medical field and for using our correct title. Mad respect for doctors that know when and how to collaborate with rehab staff ❤❤❤
7:45 this works because the heat breaks down the poison that makes it itch. There are special "zappers" you can get that nail the temperature so you dont burn yourself even if it hurts
I think the guy either heard a weird version or remembered it wrong; I've heard of holding a *cold* spoon to a bug bite, to make the itching less noticeable.
@@MortMe0430 No, it is supposed to be a hot (but like, hot tapwater hot, not boiling hot) object like a spoon, because that destroys the substance causing the itch.
Subacute rehab OT here; thanks for the shout-out Dr. Mike! It can definitely be a stressful job but it's incredibly rewarding and I wish more people knew about it.
Good news Dr. Mike! My trauma ER would actually let rad techs flag certain scans as "brain attacks" so the radiologist would drop everything and read them immediately since our patient had to be flown to the city for definitive treatment. This was to differentiate from other CTs that were less urgent and more of a CYA exam on someone who hadn't experienced a prominent mechanism. So yes the term "brain attack" is out there making its own way!!!
Thank you so much for the information❤ Praying that the patient is healthy, doing well and for a quick recovery❤ Thank you so much for everything you're doing, you guys are all heroes❤
Had to comment to give a huge thanks for the shout out to medical speech language pathologists!! Yes, we do rehab and help people communicate, think, and swallow! ❤️ Thanks, Dr Mike!
help people think? i think could use your services then. nah, i'm just joking but I'd love to know what that means. like how to... problem solve again? or when they ask you to put the cards in order to tell a story- can you help with that?
I got the most fabulous speech therapist when I woke up after a failure to kill myself effectively. He did more for my mental health than any specialist ever. We didn't manage to fully correct my annoying speech manner but I've got a cute growl (from the endotrach) aaand some staccato now. You guys rock.
"Thank you for this important video! It’s alarming to see how easy it is for misinformation to spread on platforms like TikTok, especially when it comes to health and medical advice. Your fact-checking not only clarifies misconceptions but also highlights the critical role of reputable sources in the age of social media. I appreciated how you took the time to break down complex subjects into understandable segments, making it accessible for viewers who might not have a medical background. It’s crucial for us consumers of content to question what we see and hear, but not everyone has the tools or knowledge to do that effectively. Also, your call to prioritize information from licensed professionals is a vital reminder that not all advice is created equal. The difference between anecdotal evidence and scientifically-backed research cannot be overstated, especially when people's health is at stake. I’d love to see more collaborations like this between healthcare professionals and content creators to spread awareness and combat misinformation. Education should always be at the forefront-maybe even a series dedicated to debunking popular myths would resonate with many. Let’s continue to promote critical thinking and responsible sharing of information. Thank you again for being a voice of reason in a sea of noise!"
My professors in nursing school DO refer to CVA as a "brain attack" to help us understand the patho by comparing it to another "similar" condition that people are a bit more familiar with. I 100% support normalizing this term because it just makes sense
I left the nursing field in 2011 and at that time there was absolutely a push to call a stroke a “brain attack”. All our patient education used this term.
15:39 As a rheumatology patient I can confirm. I’ve so far only been officially diagnosed with UCTD (Undifferentiated Connective Tissue Disorder). Originally I was thought to have a minor form of lupus, but labs have shown that I don’t have enough of the markers, so every time I go to the rheumatologist I know I’m getting a ridiculous amount of blood work. Not to then be prescribed prednisone, but with the hope that maybe my lab values have changed or there’s a more clear picture that can result in an actual diagnosis for me. If it might give me a diagnosis with answers and things I can do to feel better, I’ll do all the blood work necessary!
Omg, I have a similar experience, but I learnt it's a connective tissue disorder, fibromyalgia and endometriosis, I hope you continue to stay strong and hang in there ❤
Same, I have the symptoms of a connective tissue disorder but the labs barely reflect it. Thankfully I have the markers for sjogren's (not exactly a CTD) and so my rheumatologist gave me meds that help with both. But God the back and forth with the doctors where I'm trying to give an honest picture of my symptoms but the labs don't reflect it but I want meds but I can't scale up my symptoms because they'll think I'm drug seeking or exhibiting histrionism or something. All being a med student taught me to is be really self-conscious around doctors lol.

My concern for the ozempic thing is that my friend's husband literally cannot get the only drug that works for him to treat his ACTUAL DIABETES because it's being overprescribed for weight loss.
The same thing happened to my grandfather. As much as I may sympathize with people struggling with weight loss, ozempic is a life-saving medication for a lot of people with diabetes, that has to take priority.
There are now two for weight loss two for diabetes. At least in my pharmacy we only give mounjaro and ozempic to actual diabetic patients, and the weight loss medications (wegovy and zepbound) for weight loss. At least where I am- this is enforced by the company, manufacturers etc
My insurance now requires preauth for all drugs in that class and it was really difficult to get both Ozempic AND trulicity (I've been on both, I was actually switched from one to the other) due to the insurance throwing a stink about it.
For so many of these when they have a head injury I was like, "Ooh, TBI😮". Some of them just made me laugh out loud. Thanks, thumbs up, have a great day.
12:20 reminds me so much of hair school. I'd do a colour or a cut, ask them if they're happy/need a change, ask again and again, beg them to be honest! "No no I really love it" then my instructor came over and they're like "I don't like how it looks, she didn't do as I said at all" and even shows a different reference photo! That happened ALL. THE. TIME!!!
I worked at a bird protection charity and one of my colleages was doing field research (abseiling down a cliff) when he came across a beehive accidentally and they swarmed and went in all his airways😬 he was treated in hospital and was snezzing/coughing dead bees for days after
I had to comment about the tiger bites. For us who have cats, they sometimes bite us softly, which is a form of "playing", from when they bit their siblings when they were cubs. If you watch Kevin Richardson, you'll see his lions doing the same. Now, the problem: There's a big difference between in mass between your cat and a fully grown tiger or lion.
The hot spoon trick totally works temporarily, at least for me. I have bad reactions to mosquito bites. Bites on my legs turn into red welts that are over an inch in diameter and they have an intense, fiery itch. Imagine having 20 mosquito bites on your legs that all itch intensely for three days straight. I generally just cover up when I go outside, no matter how hot it is, but when I've ended up with bites like that, running hot (not burning hot) water over them COMPLETELY cures the itch at least long enough for me to get to sleep. Bonus: As the hot water runs over the bites, it actually feels like I'm scratching them, without any actual damage to the skin. No burning, no scabbing, no scarring. It's a lifesaver.
I ran into one of those health influencers on threads the other day that said was her belief that those of us with genetic disabilities could heal from and rise above our genes with effort. These people are always just a shade away from wanting to throw disabled people in ovens.
Yep. They think (or at least, perpetuate the idea) that disability is a personal failure, which is very easy to use as some horrible way to blame them for terrible things that happen to them. Sometimes for terrible things that they do to them.
I think it depends on what your talking about… Your never going to get not paralyzed, but if all your family is prone to heart attack, you can take special steps to prevent that from happening to you.
@@tell-me-a-story-even this is only partially true. It's one thing to have a genetic pre-disposition to heart disease, or diabetes and other common health problems, but there are genetic mutations that no matter what you do, the genes are going to fight against you. For instance, a guy I know had a heart attack in his early 30s, his brother and father as well. He knew the risk and exercised (he was a fire fighter and very physically fit) he ate right, even went vegetarian for awhile, despite this his cholesterol, even with medications, will not drop under 300. It should be under 200. His genes made it impossible to manage his risk for heart disease no matter how much he did all the right things. He's a ticking time bomb unfortunately because of his genes.
@@jennh2096 Well and then it's important to note (I'm not disagreeing with anything you said, just think it's worth mentioning) that it's still lower than it would be if he didn't do all the right things right? Like he's still at risk more than the rest of us but not as much more as he could be. I think it's important for people to realize that even if they're fighting their genes, it's still a fight worth having and you can see results, just maybe not the idealized ones that health hackers promise
7:24 - The heat from the hot spoon denatures the proteins injected by the mosquito, removing the itch... But measuring exactly how hot to make the spoon to work against the bite without branding yourself with it can be difficult. I use a device meant for zapping mosquito bites. The device heats up to the right temperature, has a short timer of how long to hold it on the bite for (3-5 seconds), and it runs on AA batteries so it's portable. (A spoon and a lighter are portable too, but people are going to make some assumptions about that.) I bought it online and it works great. As soon as I feel the itch I use the device, it stings a bit from the heat while using it, and then the itch is just completely gone until the next time I'm bitten. The one I use is called Bite Away, but there are others out there too and they're all basically the same.
13:45, when that lady said "spiritual" healing to fixing my blindness cause I don't need glasses. I laughed out loud so hard because I actually need glasses to see. I'm hecka blind. LOL
Anyone who uses spitirual healing for something other than something like grieving or maybe even to help quit a vice is a total nutcase... It's like if i want it reeeally bad enough, it'll magically happen by itself with no effort to get it... and if you didnt get it, then you obviously dont want it that badly and then you lose faith because it didnt work for you. Or you double down and become more insane.
You know that phase in your life in early adolescence when the fear you have of almost everything as a small child goes away, but you don’t have enough life experience to have the perspective required for reasonable fear, so you kind of live your life like your invisible for a few years? I think that a lot of adults these days have such a limited range of life experience, due to modern conveniences, that they never actually develop to that reasonable fear stage.
FACT CHECKING DR MIKE !!!!! I work on a neuro floor. We actually do sometimes use “brain attack” to describe a stroke due to the similar tissue ischemia, just like a heart attack :)
The "you don't need glasses" actually rang true for me. My sons were both prescribed glasses before age 10 but a few years later after we moved and started seeing a different optometrist, she found they didn't need them. They were given exercises to help correct problems in their visual systems that they did for a few years. They are in their thirties now and neither has needed glasses since.
I'm not so sure. The mental and physical things yes. But as someone that got a haircut mid 20's with good vision (covered up one eye all the time, fr.) That eye maybe decompensated (?) some how. They say that patching is only effective as a child, maybe more effective. But, over a long period of time, it shifted my weak eye. So at home I patch an eye over and over. And after a rly long time its so much straighter at like 30. When generally its known you can't patch eyes as an adult and expect anything to happen. Ik this is different from vision but makes you question knowing your eyes can adapt to use, although aging does change where your focal point hits. I am not 100% sure. If any evidence showed that it might be possible there are already so many companies relying on that issue to exist. And being that...funding for research a lot of times comes from sources like companies. But, yeah as a child with bad vision you need glasses. It would just be weird if by using glasses as a way to make your eyes work less that you were deconditioning them further and further. Idk anything about vision. but just thinking business wise this would be awesome 👌👌👌 People constantly needing new glasses to see. $800/ per pair.
Literally loved the shout out to SLPs! I just graduated with my bachelors in SLP and will be attending grad school this fall. I love when SLPs get recognition!
One of the things I learned about mosquito bites is that if you don't scratch them, they stop itching relatively quickly. But, if you do scratch them, then it just gets worse.
@@Neoron94 But Okay first of all I'm just more inclined to trust Dr Mike than some random commentor on the internet but also you're not actually disagreeing with what he said Like if you're burning yourself it still has to heal later and that's still gonna itch I've heard of putting something cold on the itch or like slapping yourself or something so your nerves report pain or cold rather than itchiness so I'd assume it would work the same with heat but we've still got the healing issue
I love how he explains everything to us like whenever I got to the doctors it's like they are speaking in another language and I will be looking at them like "WHAT'S THAT!" and i never get bored or distracted while watching you're videos (which happens alot to be more specific in school) . You taught me soooo much in the past years i literally learned more things from you then in school . You're my biggest inspiration and thank you for everything you've done Dr Mike.
So refreshing to see a member of the medical community express concerns over overmedication! Ozempic seems weird because we could also just have more common sense food regulation and not need to have everyone on weight loss drugs. Europe does this with enormous success.
9:30 - I mostly don't eat vegetables... Or fruit, or meat, or carbs... But I also don't recommend my diet to anyone able to avoid it. My specific mix of issues just makes it difficult. It's also not completely zero for any of these things... Like, there's 3/16 cup frozen chopped spinach in each of my chocolate shakes. I insert vegetables & meat where I can, they're just super difficult to eat with my issues. If anyone asks about trying my diet, I let them know that I got scurvy a year and a half ago.
the "scrubs when you bend over" meme got me. I bent over to flush the toilet last night, and as I flushed, my earpod case fell out of my pocket, into the toilet, and was immediately flushed away.
That is one of my worst fears. Its why for instance, I just leave my ring somewhere separate (Like in my apartment, I would just leave it at my desk in my room when I go to the bathroom). Can't fall in the Toilet if it wasn't near it in the first place.
Thanks for the shout out to the OTs! ❤ As one, I know how often no one knows what we do. People often think of us as PTs. 😅 I love the profession and wish that everyone knew how cool and meaningful our role is!
The hot spoon thing definitely works for me, though you have to get the temperature just high enough to sting when applied but still be tolerable for a few seconds. Supposedly, the heat breaks down the proteins in the mosquito saliva (which is how they numb the area then they "bite"), which is why it stops itching. Even if that isn't exactly what happens, I very rarely have to apply a hot spoon more than once for the itching to be permanently gone.
Its actually really hard to learn to walk again and very painful if you haven't walked in months. My relative had to go through with it a few months ago after being bed ridden for two weeks she said it hurt so much just to walk around the room.
13:45 "There are mental, emotional, physical, and even spiritual reasons why you may not be seeing..." No, there's just a physical reason why my eyes decided to develop an astigmatism. No mental, emotional or spiritual bs about it
13:39 my little one showed me this and told me she didn’t need her glasses… she then promptly proceeded to walk down our hallway, before banging into her door frame… yeah doesn’t need her glasses at all (sarcasm)
Getting to the end of the video - the problem with textbook medicine is that it's written for the majority, but people can vary a LOT in body and mind from person to person. Also, as Dr. Mike has pointed out in older videos, often textbooks are based on information coming from a single gender or race and those things can change your odds of certain conditions and/or the symptoms you present. So it's not surprising that an experienced cardiologist would work off of more than just textbook examples.
7:49 as someone who mosquitoes apparently love to bite, I’ve tried the hot spoon technique - the theory behind it is that the temperature of the spoon will denature whatever the mosquitoes put into you but it doesn’t work
4:55 This lady is completely fine. As a matter of fact, I can tell from this video, she has never abused this tiger and has possibly been with this tiger since cubhood. What the tiger is doing is called love bitting or an affection bite. It’s a common behavior in felines especially big cats like lions and tigers. Despite it being called “bitting,” it’s more like softly gnawing, or rather it’s supposed to be soft. Because humans can’t really handle these, the animal can *unintentionally* hurt us. But they can’t help it. Plus, because of how strong they are, what may seem like harmless gnawing to them, may be painful to us.
That was a carpenter bee. They bore holes into wood to make their nests. If they can find a hole without having to bore then it's game on and the bee makes that hole their home. That's why it went in his large nostril. They are generally very docile creatures and don't sting or swarm unless provoked.
My vet tech teacher (she was a Veterinary Technician teaching a Veterinary Assistant class) told my class that "brain attack" is a perfectly acceptable term, so I vote yes, we can make this a thing.
Cardiac nurse here. You know how many STEMI’s I brought into the doctors ready to cal EMT and they tell me go finish the stress test? Theirs is always something to learn!!!
2:44 that person was too late to save the seal. The most optimal way to save it would have been to push it horizontally because you can’t lift it so you gotta prevent it from getting its centre of mass past the glass. 8:29 the chemistry does not add up. He has to bubble the essential gasses through the water first. 10:15 If you ever feel like you need hydrogen, try getting some hydrogen.
We have someone in Finland called Maria Nordin (an architect apparently by profession) who's trying to convince people for example about that glasses stuff. That you basically have to BELIEVE to be able to see, & boom, no glasses needed.

As someone who was told by an eye doctor that I don't need glasses when I can see clearly 5 feet from my face, the eye one really made me angry. I've since worn glasses for 15 years after switching doctors, some random crap they're selling me isn't gonna magically fix my eyes
1:18 YESS! Cuz English is not my first language and when my teacher said “stroke” I had no idea what a stroke was but I knew what a heart attack was because the name is pretty self explanatory. LET’S MAKE BRAIN ATTACK A THING!!!

1:35 - I had a horse riding instructor that literally had to give up the profession (she still rides for fun) because of a recurring injury. Basically she had so many injuries to her shoulder, in the end even with surgery it wasn't any good. It didn't take much to cause further damage either which was sad. I mean some of the horses the yard had didn't help, I don't know what you're used to in the US but we had horses in excess of 18hh and weighing up to 900 kilos.... and you can imagine one of them having an off day isn't going to end well. Also got punted in the stomach once by a foreleg, thank god the horse was only 16.2hh
So yea in the US we do have large horses but not as popular as other kinds. A lot of people where I live have horses for trail riding, so usually not the very big ones.

I've come to love how much critique Dr. Mike has on House MD for knowing useless trivia, but here he is... knowing the weight of a seal...
Yeah lmao he was so dead on too. Mike learning from house.
Oh how the turns have tables
I am the king of knowing useless trivia
😂😂😂 exactly what I thought!!
I know this is a joke, but it brings up a very big problem in modern tv characters
its not that Mike criticques him for knowing it,its that characters that know everything that is convinient for the plot are some of the most lazily writen ones
Fun fact, when Mike says that the tiger knows the weak spots of the body he's not wrong. Tigers whiskers are so sensitive that they can sense the bloodflow in veins. So they can actully sense where your most vulnerable veins and arteries are.
Funny enough, looking at the body language of the tiger it actually seems to playing. If it really was trying to harm the lady she’d be harmed. However the bites seem to be purposefully light
However, it can be dangerous still since the tiger can cause a lot of damage even when playing
@@itsmxtwisteven little house kittens can hurt people unintentionally, the tiger playing is still a threat because she isn't a trained professional who can read his body language.
@@deathbysnusnu8303 yep, and the tiger might not know it’s own strength in regards to humans as well.
@@itsmxtwistmany household animals can't even recognise that their claws hurt humans, even when we make a great effort to inform them that it does. So yeah if I can't trust a household animal to know what hurts me, I sure as hell am not gonna trust a tiger that's being playful to know what is and isn't okay lmao
The moment dr mike knows its a manequin just shows how much empathy he has for people.
Well duh he's a doctor after all haha
@josefdrapak1889 Right! It should be a no-brainer! Unfortunately, there's some doctors who seem to lack empathy.
As a recently retired dancer, thank you for talking about the dangers of hyperextension! I was trained in a very “deeper stretch is always better” era where everyone was shooting for the most intense oversplits, etc. Being able to take my split past 180 degrees didn’t make me a better dancer and now I have a lot of knee and hip pain in my early 20s (and many of my former teammates are in the same situation). It’s a cool trick but not worth the risk imo.
Same thing happened to me with gymnastics and belly dancing. I feel for you, friend. ❤
yeah same, my knees hyperextend and then I went to a trampoline park and when I jumped I tore my ACL because of it, and of course it was worse than a usual one because of it, and then I danced on it and kept reinjuring it, and now my knee is screwed up to the point of barely functioning
Damn! I'm fencing and had my fair share of muscle work so far, but THIS is another level of testing your body. Seems like an unnecessary one.
Same with martial arts. As I got older I realised that a lot of my family members had hyperflexibilty and joint pain, and then I heard about how you actually shouldn't overextend your joints if possible. Every day is a learning day!
Bro I was(and am still) raised on “the worse it hurts, the better dancer you’re becoming” 😂
Dr. Mike: "Yo, that tiger know the weakness of the human body"
Me after watching lots of his videos: I think anywhere on our body is a weakness at this point
If you’re against a tiger, that is true.
Fun fact: if you pull on the bottom of an ear, nothing happens. Pull too hard on the top, however, and you're the next Mike Tyson

Calling a stroke a "brain attack" is fine if you're also prepared to call a pulmonary infarction a "lung attack".
Hell yeah 😂
Well, the cause of all of that is a blood/air/fat clot in the beginning.
Not sure about brain attack stroke is so much simpler sad the person who had a stroke Brain attack sounds like you’ve lost your marbles
I’m calling them what they are…clogged up arteries.
@@artchic528Not if it's a hemorrhagic stroke 🤔
we do actually already call a stroke a brain attack in Dutch. Heart attack is sometimes called: Hartinfarct. And a stroke is sometimes refered to as a: Herseninfarct (Hersen = brain, infarct= infarction/attack)
In German a stroke is a "Schlaganfall" basically meaning beat seizure or something like that. So ist's also pretty close to brain attack
@@smeagolbaggins And yet Beat Seizure also sounds like someone trying to dance to Dubstep.
@@smeagolbaggins "Hirninfarkt" - brain infarct, albeit less often used, also works

14:43 the technician who took my EKG explained after i asked curiously that my heart seemed fine and started attempting to explain why it was fine despite how the diagram looked inconsistent. I replied "oh, so my heart rate is changing, but it's changing properly." She was a bit taken aback by how simply i put it and that i was actually able to interpret what she meant. sometimes the reason things in books are different is simpler to explain than the way an academic would usually approach it. That's why we have science communicators.
This video reminds me of a conversation that I ended up joiniing at a store. "How is your back doing?" "The sprain isn't really healing very fast. I don't think the muscle relaxants are working. I think I should take more." This is when I jumped in "I think that it's a really bad idea. You should talk to your doctor." "Are you a doctor, how would you know that?"
"Because muscle relaxants relax you musles and your heart is a muscle. Do you know what wuold happen if your heart relaxed to much?"
She looked horrified and left.
7:18 The trick with heat against mosquito bites really works. The heat denatures the protein that the mosquitoes inject into the bite and prevents the blood from coagulating at the bite site. The protein also causes the itching. When it is denatured, the bite itches less
Still going to itch when the burn heals
@@shannonweaver2169 if you're burning yourself, you're doing it wrong. the trick is to find the sweetspot where is as hot as possible without burning you, like barely tolerable. I heat up a spoon with a lighter (looking like a junkie) and hover over / quickly tap on the mosquito bite until I feel I can gently press it down without burning me. Also it has to be done as soon as possible after the bite for best results.
@@fleggitier Run the spoon under the hot water tap. That water should be roughly 120-125°F (49-52°C). It's hot enough for the trick to work, but not so hot it'll burn you.
@@shannonweaver2169 The more intense itching that occurs after a bug bite is due to chemicals left behind by the bug, usually ones that act as anticoagulants so the blood doesn't clot. The hot spoon trick, which requires a much-hotter-than-comfortable but not-so-hot-it-burns-you spoon (I just run mine under the hot tap), uses the heat from the spoon to break down the chemicals. Yes, it will still itch, but just the much more mild and occasional itch of healing. It loses that intense and pervasive itchiness that bug bites usually have.
There are actually devices, that heat up a tiny metal tip to that specific temperature to help you with the itching. It works for me.
As an optometrist, I screamed at the lady who said you don't need glasses 😭 what she said is such a HUGE misconcept and I hate to see it shared as a fact.
I hate Tiktok.
Even assuming psychosomatic conditions can affect eyesight, surely the solution is still to put eyeglasses on to prevent strain? At least that's what mine decided was the correct course of action.
Nah that actually sounds right to me
Like sure I could go to a doctor who's spend years learning and practicing their trade and has seen thousands of patients
But why would I do that when I can just pray and think positively and B E L E I V E
But I also love how she says there's "mental, emotional, physical, and even spiritual" like do you realize one of these was physical?? And that's what the optometrists and glasses are for?
I mean, anyone who believes her is kind of beyond help anyway
as someone who has always needed glasses, its pretty feckin obvious I need them XD
Not an optometrist, but a glasses wearer. I'd like to see her "fix" my -9.75 SPH (OS) and -6.25 SPH (OD) with severe astigmatism in both eyes through spiritual means. Sure would be a feat to behold.
@@KT-1429 uh I feel for you, although I "only" have -6.25/-5.25 D sph in my glasses.
But if you ever happen to mee6 this "expert" woman to help you correct your vision, please let me know how it went 🤣
So about mosquito bites and hot spoons: It works, though not in a very controlled way. There are specific devices (not that expensive) which heat a small metal plate to exactly 42°C (iirc) for a set amount of time. This denaturates the proteins from the bite which are responsible for the itching and swelling, and they work extremely well - it basically goes away instantly.
Spoons or similar ways a problematic since you have to heat them up a lot, since they lose their heat extremely quickly, so they can actually burn your skin.
I like to bunch up a towel and wet the rounded end with water just hot enough to be uncomfortable. I can quickly apply and remove it, plus the evaporation cools the skin quickly afterward
What works well is to just heat them under hot tap water, because that's usually in the right temperature range or at least is easy to regulate.
"The fact that the eyeglass and sunglass industry is run by like two or three major players."
I'm glad you called this out. I used to work for a local optical lab, and within ten years it went from independently owned and operated to being purchased by Essilor, and several years later Essilor went on to merge with Luxottica. It felt like I was the only person working there who thought that was a *bad* thing.
I suppose one could argue that Essilor focused primarily on lenses while Luxottica focused on frames, but that's still giving a single corporation a ridiculous amount of power over an industry.
i work at sunglass hut. it’s absolutely true
Oakley once tried to resist, but they had their back broken by Luxotica and now dutifully bend the knee to their corporate overlord.
Totally agree with you and the comments below… Hi! From a former french optician 👋🙂

1:50 As a massage therapist I can confirm that you are 100% correct! Everyone always thinks it’s the muscles in their back but there’s three muscle groups it could be! Hamstrings, Gluteal Muscles or the lower back muscles!

The man who was in the "I've never knowingly eaten a veggie" video later admitted (I think in the same video) that he drinks V8, or some other veggie drink, so to all those who go off singular clips like that, do research please! Many people who make bogus health claims knowingly or unknowingly obstruct the truth to make their claims more popular for social media. Thanks Dr Mike for clearing up the craziness!
Though in all fairness, it's not completely impossible if the body is properly adjusted and the eater not picky. Traditionally, a lot of cultures that live in mostly frozen regions such as Alaska or parts of Siberia, where crops simply do not grow, have had pure meat diets in the past. HOWEVER, they didn't simply live off of prime beef steaks, they then ate everything to get the nutrients they need, including offal such as liver, bones for broths and some plants such as berries or seaweed, if applicable.
Any one sided diet, be it veganism or pure meat eating can be harmful if done incorrectly, however, as omnivores, we humans are allowed a broad range of flexibility, which is helpful. We can easily adjust our diets to fit lifestyle choices or dietary requirements and, as Dr Mike said, what works for some may not work for others.
My question was "did your parents never give you vegetables?"
So he doesn't eat vegetables, but he does drink them. 😅
3:16 a family member of mine is a speech pathologist and I regularly say “I feel bad for the people you help” because sometimes they aren’t good at speaking, reminder we are family, it is fine.

4:55 - It's a good thing that that lady with the tiger knew that it was just playing, so she stayed calm and gently pushed back. If she had panicked and struggled, the tiger would probably have chomped down harder, and/or her own struggle would have pulled her arm against its teeth and done more damage. The tiger was not, in that moment, biting to kill; it was just being playful- but they don't realize that we aren't as robust as they are; they can't play with us the same as they do with each other. If the tiger was hungry and going for the kill, she would be dead already.
I don't know what the relationship was between that gal and that tiger, whether this was an experienced trainer or zookeeper, or just someone taking a photo op. But good on her for staying calm! She must at least have cats at home, to know what to do!
That being said: do NOT mess with big cats! Playful can go too far. Play can switch into instinct to kill quickly. Animal emotions and moods can switch and we humans might not catch the signs right away, and they are big strong killing machines. Don't mess with them!
For sure. I imagine at some point, at least one big cat must have thought, "These tiny hairless kittens are so weak, how do they even hunt?"
I didn’t even think of that, your right!
I wonder if she had some kind of experience with large cats?
I mean if a 500 pound tiger was play-biting me, I don’t think I’d like that!😆
@@tell-me-a-story- Honestly you really just need experience working with any animal + a good knowledge-base of feline behaviors which you can easily get just by living with cats. Like op said that tiger is pretty clearly playing if you understand cat body language, and if you work first-hand with really any animal you learn to stay calm even when they're doing something alarming because if _you_ start to freak out, the animal will also start to freak out and/or see that as an easy opening for attack. I work as a professional dog bather, and even with aggressive dogs who visibly want to hurt you, the best thing you can do is stay calm. I've had multiple instances where just by me staying calm, I was able to pick up a (small) dog that was actively trying to bite me and went completely unharmed
Came here to say this. If that tiger wanted to kill her she'd be dead already. Pretty sure this lady knew that and that's why she was calm. Generally, predators only attack if they think your food, or if they think you're a threat. And I've thought for a long time that the only real difference between domestic cats and large cats is size.
So no pet big floof? 🙀😈
As someone with both sensory and auditory processing disorders who received help from both an occupational therapist and speech language pathologist in school I just wanted to second Mike’s shout out to them, I may not have been officially diagnosed with either disorder at the time I received services from them but they were both incredibly helpful nonetheless!
Your page I love you are everything we need in the world of Doctors I am glad someone genuinely debunks this ridiculous stuff. Also as someone who has chronic pains they can’t figure out we will be a medicated world and its sad i look like a pharmacy at home and have taken nothing cause theres zero explanation just “i am unsure but you say your in pain heres all these meds” very sad
Thanks for shouting out physical and occupational therapists!!! Y’all are *essential* and amazing at helping us become mobile again we *seriously* appreciate you 🥰

@SobrietyandSolace then it's probably best if they go to a psychologist first. That's just as important as recovering physically

Thank you
3:07 true. Slept for seven weeks, woke up tired af.
Good news Dr. Mike! My trauma ER would actually let rad techs flag certain scans as "brain attacks" so the radiologist would drop everything and read them immediately since our patient had to be flown to the city for definitive treatment. This was to differentiate from other CTs that were less urgent and more of a CYA exam on someone who hadn't experienced a prominent mechanism. So yes the term "brain attack" is out there making its own way!!!
Thank you so much for the information❤ Praying that the patient is healthy, doing well and for a quick recovery❤ Thank you so much for everything you're doing, you guys are all heroes❤
Had to comment to give a huge thanks for the shout out to medical speech language pathologists!! Yes, we do rehab and help people communicate, think, and swallow! ❤️ Thanks, Dr Mike!
Does that mean I should see a speech pathologist if I've always randomly just not been able to swallow sometimes? Because my pcm just kinda went 🤷🏻♀
help people think? i think could use your services then. nah, i'm just joking but I'd love to know what that means. like how to... problem solve again? or when they ask you to put the cards in order to tell a story- can you help with that?
I got the most fabulous speech therapist when I woke up after a failure to kill myself effectively. He did more for my mental health than any specialist ever.

"Thank you for this important video! It’s alarming to see how easy it is for misinformation to spread on platforms like TikTok, especially when it comes to health and medical advice. Your fact-checking not only clarifies misconceptions but also highlights the critical role of reputable sources in the age of social media.
I appreciated how you took the time to break down complex subjects into understandable segments, making it accessible for viewers who might not have a medical background. It’s crucial for us consumers of content to question what we see and hear, but not everyone has the tools or knowledge to do that effectively.
Also, your call to prioritize information from licensed professionals is a vital reminder that not all advice is created equal. The difference between anecdotal evidence and scientifically-backed research cannot be overstated, especially when people's health is at stake.
I’d love to see more collaborations like this between healthcare professionals and content creators to spread awareness and combat misinformation. Education should always be at the forefront-maybe even a series dedicated to debunking popular myths would resonate with many.
Let’s continue to promote critical thinking and responsible sharing of information. Thank you again for being a voice of reason in a sea of noise!"
My professors in nursing school DO refer to CVA as a "brain attack" to help us understand the patho by comparing it to another "similar" condition that people are a bit more familiar with. I 100% support normalizing this term because it just makes sense
I left the nursing field in 2011 and at that time there was absolutely a push to call a stroke a “brain attack”. All our patient education used this term.
15:39 As a rheumatology patient I can confirm. I’ve so far only been officially diagnosed with UCTD (Undifferentiated Connective Tissue Disorder). Originally I was thought to have a minor form of lupus, but labs have shown that I don’t have enough of the markers, so every time I go to the rheumatologist I know I’m getting a ridiculous amount of blood work. Not to then be prescribed prednisone, but with the hope that maybe my lab values have changed or there’s a more clear picture that can result in an actual diagnosis for me. If it might give me a diagnosis with answers and things I can do to feel better, I’ll do all the blood work necessary!
Omg, I have a similar experience, but I learnt it's a connective tissue disorder, fibromyalgia and endometriosis, I hope you continue to stay strong and hang in there ❤
Same, I have the symptoms of a connective tissue disorder but the labs barely reflect it. Thankfully I have the markers for sjogren's (not exactly a CTD) and so my rheumatologist gave me meds that help with both. But God the back and forth with the doctors where I'm trying to give an honest picture of my symptoms but the labs don't reflect it but I want meds but I can't scale up my symptoms because they'll think I'm drug seeking or exhibiting histrionism or something. All being a med student taught me to is be really self-conscious around doctors lol.

My concern for the ozempic thing is that my friend's husband literally cannot get the only drug that works for him to treat his ACTUAL DIABETES because it's being overprescribed for weight loss.
The same thing happened to my grandfather.
As much as I may sympathize with people struggling with weight loss, ozempic is a life-saving medication for a lot of people with diabetes, that has to take priority.
Ah that’s horrible.
And wait, people are prescribing that?
I thought people were just doing it.
@tell-me-a-story- ozempic is a prescription drug, yes. So you need to go to a doctor (or a teledoctor) who prescribes it for you
There are now two for weight loss two for diabetes. At least in my pharmacy we only give mounjaro and ozempic to actual diabetic patients, and the weight loss medications (wegovy and zepbound) for weight loss. At least where I am- this is enforced by the company, manufacturers etc
My insurance now requires preauth for all drugs in that class and it was really difficult to get both Ozempic AND trulicity (I've been on both, I was actually switched from one to the other) due to the insurance throwing a stink about it.

I had to comment about the tiger bites. For us who have cats, they sometimes bite us softly, which is a form of "playing", from when they bit their siblings when they were cubs. If you watch Kevin Richardson, you'll see his lions doing the same. Now, the problem: There's a big difference between in mass between your cat and a fully grown tiger or lion.
The hot spoon trick totally works temporarily, at least for me. I have bad reactions to mosquito bites. Bites on my legs turn into red welts that are over an inch in diameter and they have an intense, fiery itch. Imagine having 20 mosquito bites on your legs that all itch intensely for three days straight. I generally just cover up when I go outside, no matter how hot it is, but when I've ended up with bites like that, running hot (not burning hot) water over them COMPLETELY cures the itch at least long enough for me to get to sleep.
Bonus: As the hot water runs over the bites, it actually feels like I'm scratching them, without any actual damage to the skin. No burning, no scabbing, no scarring. It's a lifesaver.
How do you do the hot water so it doesn’t burn
I ran into one of those health influencers on threads the other day that said was her belief that those of us with genetic disabilities could heal from and rise above our genes with effort. These people are always just a shade away from wanting to throw disabled people in ovens.
Yep. They think (or at least, perpetuate the idea) that disability is a personal failure, which is very easy to use as some horrible way to blame them for terrible things that happen to them. Sometimes for terrible things that they do to them.

I think it depends on what your talking about…
Your never going to get not paralyzed, but if all your family is prone to heart attack, you can take special steps to prevent that from happening to you.
@@tell-me-a-story-even this is only partially true. It's one thing to have a genetic pre-disposition to heart disease, or diabetes and other common health problems, but there are genetic mutations that no matter what you do, the genes are going to fight against you. For instance, a guy I know had a heart attack in his early 30s, his brother and father as well. He knew the risk and exercised (he was a fire fighter and very physically fit) he ate right, even went vegetarian for awhile, despite this his cholesterol, even with medications, will not drop under 300. It should be under 200. His genes made it impossible to manage his risk for heart disease no matter how much he did all the right things. He's a ticking time bomb unfortunately because of his genes.
@@jennh2096 Well and then it's important to note (I'm not disagreeing with anything you said, just think it's worth mentioning) that it's still lower than it would be if he didn't do all the right things right? Like he's still at risk more than the rest of us but not as much more as he could be. I think it's important for people to realize that even if they're fighting their genes, it's still a fight worth having and you can see results, just maybe not the idealized ones that health hackers promise
7:24 - The heat from the hot spoon denatures the proteins injected by the mosquito, removing the itch... But measuring exactly how hot to make the spoon to work against the bite without branding yourself with it can be difficult.
I use a device meant for zapping mosquito bites. The device heats up to the right temperature, has a short timer of how long to hold it on the bite for (3-5 seconds), and it runs on AA batteries so it's portable. (A spoon and a lighter are portable too, but people are going to make some assumptions about that.) I bought it online and it works great. As soon as I feel the itch I use the device, it stings a bit from the heat while using it, and then the itch is just completely gone until the next time I'm bitten.
The one I use is called Bite Away, but there are others out there too and they're all basically the same.
5:50 I can feel the pain through the screen because I've done something similar to this(don't worry I'm fine now, my back pain is from my bad posture)
13:45, when that lady said "spiritual" healing to fixing my blindness cause I don't need glasses. I laughed out loud so hard because I actually need glasses to see. I'm hecka blind. LOL
Nah your chakras are out of balance bro, realign your yin yang
Same. I wouldn't last a minute outside without my glasses or contacts before I'd get hurt.
Anyone who uses spitirual healing for something other than something like grieving or maybe even to help quit a vice is a total nutcase... It's like if i want it reeeally bad enough, it'll magically happen by itself with no effort to get it... and if you didnt get it, then you obviously dont want it that badly and then you lose faith because it didnt work for you. Or you double down and become more insane.

Lemme just write

My mom is a neurologist, and she says brain attack all the time.
Dr Mike: “Do people not care about their wellbeing?”
Me: counting how many times I have almost died doing something stupid
Me: “Nope”
Not to mention suicidal people/depressed people.
You know that phase in your life in early adolescence when the fear you have of almost everything as a small child goes away, but you don’t have enough life experience to have the perspective required for reasonable fear, so you kind of live your life like your invisible for a few years?
I think that a lot of adults these days have such a limited range of life experience, due to modern conveniences, that they never actually develop to that reasonable fear stage.
FACT CHECKING DR MIKE !!!!!
I work on a neuro floor. We actually do sometimes use “brain attack” to describe a stroke due to the similar tissue ischemia, just like a heart attack :)
The "you don't need glasses" actually rang true for me. My sons were both prescribed glasses before age 10 but a few years later after we moved and started seeing a different optometrist, she found they didn't need them. They were given exercises to help correct problems in their visual systems that they did for a few years. They are in their thirties now and neither has needed glasses since.
That eyeglass lady was full of it. I have worn corrective glasses since I was a toddler. Apparently, I just needed to have more faith...😠
Right? 😂 if therapy could fix my bad eyesight, I wouldn’t be paying for expensive ass lenses!
You just gotta believe in yourself, practice positive thoughts and buy those super expensive crystals and oils from her online store 🥰🥰🥰
I'm not so sure. The mental and physical things yes. But as someone that got a haircut mid 20's with good vision (covered up one eye all the time, fr.) That eye maybe decompensated (?) some how. They say that patching is only effective as a child, maybe more effective. But, over a long period of time, it shifted my weak eye. So at home I patch an eye over and over. And after a rly long time its so much straighter at like 30. When generally its known you can't patch eyes as an adult and expect anything to happen. Ik this is different from vision but makes you question knowing your eyes can adapt to use, although aging does change where your focal point hits.
I am not 100% sure. If any evidence showed that it might be possible there are already so many companies relying on that issue to exist. And being that...funding for research a lot of times comes from sources like companies. But, yeah as a child with bad vision you need glasses. It would just be weird if by using glasses as a way to make your eyes work less that you were deconditioning them further and further. Idk anything about vision. but just thinking business wise this would be awesome 👌👌👌 People constantly needing new glasses to see. $800/ per pair.
Yeah… she was a Doterra rep…
oh my gosh, same. maybe i should’ve just had more hope that my eyesight would fix for the past 10 years 🙄
Literally loved the shout out to SLPs! I just graduated with my bachelors in SLP and will be attending grad school this fall. I love when SLPs get recognition!
One of the things I learned about mosquito bites is that if you don't scratch them, they stop itching relatively quickly. But, if you do scratch them, then it just gets worse.
Totally standing up for the “I’d rather feel a burn than an itch” community 😂
Same. Sometimes i get tiny bumps on my fingers that itch like crazy. Run them under hot water and it feels like the best thing in the world.
SAME. I have erythromylalgia and mast cell activation syndrome and it's HELL
Same, I can't stand itching all the time, I actually feel so much better putting something hot on it.
well if you put something hot on the bite it breaks down the enzymes which causes the itch. so it helps. im surprised docotr mike didnt know that
@@Neoron94 But
Okay first of all I'm just more inclined to trust Dr Mike than some random commentor on the internet but also you're not actually disagreeing with what he said
Like if you're burning yourself it still has to heal later and that's still gonna itch
I've heard of putting something cold on the itch or like slapping yourself or something so your nerves report pain or cold rather than itchiness so I'd assume it would work the same with heat but we've still got the healing issue
I love how he explains everything to us like whenever I got to the doctors it's like they are speaking in another language and I will be looking at them like "WHAT'S THAT!" and i never get bored or distracted while watching you're videos (which happens alot to be more specific in school) . You taught me soooo much in the past years i literally learned more things from you then in school . You're my biggest inspiration and thank you for everything you've done Dr Mike.

In Serbo-Croatian we actually call strokes "Brain attacks" (Moždani udar).
Heart attacks are the same as in English (Srčani udar) ❤
Tako'e
So refreshing to see a member of the medical community express concerns over overmedication! Ozempic seems weird because we could also just have more common sense food regulation and not need to have everyone on weight loss drugs. Europe does this with enormous success.
9:30 - I mostly don't eat vegetables... Or fruit, or meat, or carbs... But I also don't recommend my diet to anyone able to avoid it. My specific mix of issues just makes it difficult. It's also not completely zero for any of these things... Like, there's 3/16 cup frozen chopped spinach in each of my chocolate shakes. I insert vegetables & meat where I can, they're just super difficult to eat with my issues.
If anyone asks about trying my diet, I let them know that I got scurvy a year and a half ago.
the "scrubs when you bend over" meme got me. I bent over to flush the toilet last night, and as I flushed, my earpod case fell out of my pocket, into the toilet, and was immediately flushed away.
That is one of my worst fears. Its why for instance, I just leave my ring somewhere separate (Like in my apartment, I would just leave it at my desk in my room when I go to the bathroom). Can't fall in the Toilet if it wasn't near it in the first place.
I love it when Mike goes into his ‘over explaining/over thinking/ not understanding the jokes.’ State
Thanks for the shout out to the OTs! ❤ As one, I know how often no one knows what we do. People often think of us as PTs. 😅 I love the profession and wish that everyone knew how cool and meaningful our role is!
The hot spoon thing definitely works for me, though you have to get the temperature just high enough to sting when applied but still be tolerable for a few seconds. Supposedly, the heat breaks down the proteins in the mosquito saliva (which is how they numb the area then they "bite"), which is why it stops itching. Even if that isn't exactly what happens, I very rarely have to apply a hot spoon more than once for the itching to be permanently gone.
the restructure of the water got me good. I AM DYING RIGHT NOW!!!! :)
10:40 - In a D&D game I ran, I once had a vampire try to market vampirism to the party as an MLM.
I think it's a metaphor that works fairly well.
I was playing around with vampire tropes for a story and I realised I'd accidentally made a vampire pyramid scheme, it's a lot of fun.
Its actually really hard to learn to walk again and very painful if you haven't walked in months. My relative had to go through with it a few months ago after being bed ridden for two weeks she said it hurt so much just to walk around the room.
13:45
"There are mental, emotional, physical, and even spiritual reasons why you may not be seeing..."
No, there's just a physical reason why my eyes decided to develop an astigmatism. No mental, emotional or spiritual bs about it
Can we just appreciate how entertaining Dr. Mike makes is videos for us? He is a true inspiration!❤
Fr
I agree he made me want to be a doctor and I still do!
same!
13:39 my little one showed me this and told me she didn’t need her glasses… she then promptly proceeded to walk down our hallway, before banging into her door frame… yeah doesn’t need her glasses at all (sarcasm)
I hope she’s ok 😂❤
I just love it when Dr. Mike is happy and laughing ❤
12:30 Dr. Mike. Are you OK? Do you have someone you can talk to for support? That kind of sounded like it came from some personal experiences
Ok
yeah it’s called a joke, and he literally said he went to therapy which is someone you talk to😂
Getting to the end of the video - the problem with textbook medicine is that it's written for the majority, but people can vary a LOT in body and mind from person to person. Also, as Dr. Mike has pointed out in older videos, often textbooks are based on information coming from a single gender or race and those things can change your odds of certain conditions and/or the symptoms you present. So it's not surprising that an experienced cardiologist would work off of more than just textbook examples.
7:49 as someone who mosquitoes apparently love to bite, I’ve tried the hot spoon technique - the theory behind it is that the temperature of the spoon will denature whatever the mosquitoes put into you but it doesn’t work
9:16 i mean, you dont need any food, water, air and loads of other stuff to survive, you might not survive for long but you will survive
I hope doctor mike never stops working his actual job, it makes these videos have better energy and like every video is super fun
The dude who rapped about the ankle SENT ME 😂 15:59
No way😂😂😂
Always so happy that you refute so many of the gimmicks, cleanses, excessive supplementation, etc.. 🙌

This lady is completely fine. As a matter of fact, I can tell from this video, she has never abused this tiger and has possibly been with this tiger since cubhood.
What the tiger is doing is called love bitting or an affection bite. It’s a common behavior in felines especially big cats like lions and tigers. Despite it being called “bitting,” it’s more like softly gnawing, or rather it’s supposed to be soft.
Because humans can’t really handle these, the animal can *unintentionally* hurt us. But they can’t help it. Plus, because of how strong they are, what may seem like harmless gnawing to them, may be painful to us.
That was a carpenter bee. They bore holes into wood to make their nests. If they can find a hole without having to bore then it's game on and the bee makes that hole their home. That's why it went in his large nostril. They are generally very docile creatures and don't sting or swarm unless provoked.
My vet tech teacher (she was a Veterinary Technician teaching a Veterinary Assistant class) told my class that "brain attack" is a perfectly acceptable term, so I vote yes, we can make this a thing.
Cardiac nurse here. You know how many STEMI’s I brought into the doctors ready to cal EMT and they tell me go finish the stress test? Theirs is always something to learn!!!
oh, thank you for the shoutout, Dr. Mike! It's not every day that someone remembers speech pathologists exist (and not all of us work with kids) 😊
I've had 14 surgeries and the worst part of healing aside from the pain, is the itching!!
Wish you healthy life ❤
The itching and also the smell of unwashed skin ... 😮
Thank you so much for mentioning the important role of the speech and language therapist/pathologist!
My hand flew up to my face the same time yours did when that kid got thrown off the inner tube!! Instant anxiety!
5:24 Even the dog thought it was a real person. Doggy jumped right into the pool 😂
2:44 that person was too late to save the seal. The most optimal way to save it would have been to push it horizontally because you can’t lift it so you gotta prevent it from getting its centre of mass past the glass.

We have someone in Finland called Maria Nordin (an architect apparently by profession) who's trying to convince people for example about that glasses stuff. That you basically have to BELIEVE to be able to see, & boom, no glasses needed. She recently got sanctioned for neglecting her pets & not taking them to a vet when needed, & lost her cat to the government.
Seems every country has its own nutjobs, even if the United States gets a lot of flack for that.
why did i not know this (i'm a finn too), i just know her as the animal abuser-
I thought I believed to be able to read the stuff our lecturers were writing on the blackboard, but I ended up squinting the whole time anyways. Maybe I didn't believe hard enough?
this sounds made up lol
@@shadow_song She was really vocal on Twitter about it 😅 Happened to come across her posts until blocking.
As someone who was told by an eye doctor that I don't need glasses when I can see clearly 5 feet from my face, the eye one really made me angry. I've since worn glasses for 15 years after switching doctors, some random crap they're selling me isn't gonna magically fix my eyes
1:18 YESS! Cuz English is not my first language and when my teacher said “stroke” I had no idea what a stroke was but I knew what a heart attack was because the name is pretty self explanatory. LET’S MAKE BRAIN ATTACK A THING!!!
The person flying over the water. I was like 🥹 that level of compassion, especially from a man, is so refreshing. But I was also holding my breath, & then we find out it was a mannequin. I sighed the biggest sigh of relief… that that was also kind mean!
@@daisyjeruto6387 it’s so refreshing, especially coming from a doctor or man!
14:32 let's translate it to english. "Instead of spending money on the scientifically approved medicine....i BEG YOU to waste your money on snake oil that makes me RICH."
13:48 Ah yes, spiritual reasons why I need glasses.
"I upset god so he gave me myopia" XD PLEASE
1:35 - I had a horse riding instructor that literally had to give up the profession (she still rides for fun) because of a recurring injury. Basically she had so many injuries to her shoulder, in the end even with surgery it wasn't any good. It didn't take much to cause further damage either which was sad.
I mean some of the horses the yard had didn't help, I don't know what you're used to in the US but we had horses in excess of 18hh and weighing up to 900 kilos.... and you can imagine one of them having an off day isn't going to end well.
Also got punted in the stomach once by a foreleg, thank god the horse was only 16.2hh
I rode a (cleidsdale?) Very large horse, his owner named him big red.
So yea in the US we do have large horses but not as popular as other kinds. A lot of people where I live have horses for trail riding, so usually not the very big ones.
@@Psilomuscimol Clydesdale. Yup, That's actually one I haven't ridden.... that and the Suffolk Punch... but you're not gonna find them at any old riding school due to how endangered the breed is. drafts are just so cute and honest in their work
