    I can't believe we've already hit our 20th episode of Doctor Reacts To Medical Memes. I love reacting to these memes and I'm always so happy that we continue to find new ones that allow for some education to come along with the laughs. Today we talk about botox, pregnancy, baby food, caffeine, carpal tunnel syndrome, staff and PPE shortages, circadian rhythms, doing surgery outside like The Simpsons, insulin, tanning beds, skin cancer, nasal congestion, cramming for tests in med school, biochemistry, study tips, big pharma, oxytocin, bee allergies, epipens, cold medicine, night shifts, Dwayne The Rock Johnson, hearing aids, and as always... CHEST COMPRESSIONS CHEST COMPRESSIONS CHEST COMPRESSIONS.
    I LOVE reading your comments and take your suggestions seriously. If there’s a subject you want me to discuss or something you’d like for me to react to, leave a comment down below. Many of my videos have been born out of suggestions directly from you, so don’t hold back!

    6:05 When giraffes are born, the mother is standing up in case she needs to run away from predators. The height of the baby giraffe’s fall (5-6 feet) snaps the umbilical cord. Giraffes are pregnant for about ~15 months so the calf is developed enough stand almost right away…there saved you a Google search

      To be fair that's all a general practitioner really needs to know it's only people have extremely rare genetic conditions who have any interruption in that flow so you really just need to know what goes in and what comes out, and if you lack the output, it's that is the name of the cycle you look up to start testing.

    Ok per 8:15 I might be able to shed some light. My dad works in pharmaceuticals. He invented and holds the patents for transdermals such as Vivel, VivelDot, CombiPatch, and LidoCare among several others (yes bragging, I'm super proud of my papa). Vivel was named for the ingredients in it. VivelDot was named for the ingredients + Dot because it's as small as a dot, and at the time was the smallest medical patch to ever be created. CombiPatch *combines* two ingredients that had never been combined before and it makes a *patch* which was the first patch created to treat ADHD. LidoCare was named because it's Lidocaine that takes *care* of a painful area. When he's naming something it's usually a combination of what's in it + what it does, or else what's in it + something unique about it.

If they choose to continue and go onto the track, it doesn't matter if they decided it's a risk worth taking for the sake of fun (as most do) or if they believed it's not a real risk, either way, if they crash, that's on them... assuming the method and phrasing of that risk informance was sufficient. Saying "there's always a risk you'd crash and die you know" is greatly different to saying "X% of people who get into a go-kart end up crashing, and Y% of those end up with a broken bone or worse, with Z% being permanently injured or dead"

    When I was going through cancer treatments, it always bugged me when people would thank god any time something good happened, but blamed doctors any time something went wrong and not even think to thank the doctors and nurses that were actively saving my life. I made sure to always thank them when I wasn't in debilitating pain from the chemo, asleep or throwing up. Now when I go back for checkups, I always bring them a little memento to brighten their day.

      I have the same thing happen to me whenever I go to sleep, but the problem is that it always moves to whatever side I’m sleeping on. For example, it’ll often start in my right nostril, so I’ll try falling asleep on my left side. Then a few minutes later, my left nostril gets clogged/stuffy, so I go back to my right side. It’s an endless cycle until I fall asleep.

While that may very well be true, a deviated septum is another issue entirely. A deviated septum affects the amount of air that gets through a nostril, not which nostril(s) you breathe through. For some people that means side sleeping, mouth breathing, snoring, and common stuffy noses. Not necessarily all "normal" issues in this context.

      From one bespectacled person to the other: bend your nose clip better.
      What you want to do (with disinfected hands of course) is to bend the top of the nose clip into a round shape with your thumb before putting the mask on. When you take a fresh mask out of the pack, that part is bent in a way too sharp angle.
      Bend your nose clip so it looks kinda like the curve of the normal distribution before you put it on and it's going to be much better. If you don't pre-bend, the fit is never really tight because just pressing the clip to your nose doesn't work as well as actively pre bending it with your hands.

    2:15 Is actually a natural thing to happen. One of your nostrils always has a slightly worse flow than the other, and it switches sides every few hours. The reason is there are certain smell particles which need a bit longer on the receptors to be registered, and there are ones which need only whizz by, and they will create a signal instantly. If you have a very fast airflow, you are skipping the slow particles, and if you are going too slowly, you might risk suffocation, so you have both at the same time, but not always at the same place.

    6:55 OMG! Reminds me of my Biology Exam in high school.
    A little context first, since I’m Danish and go to school in Denmark.
    1. We call High School, Gymnasium here (we also have something called high school, but that’s different).
    2. Our High School/Gymnasium is typically/standardly 3 years and after Folkschool/Grade School (aka after 0th to 9th or 10th grade)
    3. Subjects or ‘classes’ (such as Biology, History, English, etc.) come in A, B, and C level, which tells how many years you have it, and at what ‘level’ (like how ‘hard’). A being all 3 years, B 2 years, and C 1 year.
    4. Around 3rd G (3rd year) you have to raise a C subject to B, a B subject to A, and a new C subject to add.
    5. Grades are numbers, and kinda weird. They are as followed (from lowest to highest); -3, 00, 02, 4, 7, 10, and 12. Getting 4 is like average, although 02 is the minimum passing grade, 7, and 10 are pretty/really good grades, with 12 being the best/highest. 00 is failed of course, and -3 is so bad that you can only get it by literally not showing up and not notifying of it, with very very few exceptions where you’re so bad that you might as well not have shown up (I have a story of getting that too).
    So, the story:
    I had raised Biology from C to B, and our small class (we were only like 6 I think) drew Biology as one of our exams. Now I enjoy biology, part of why I decided to raise that to B, but I did also dread one subject to get for the Exam, and since oral exams work by you drawing one of the subjects you’ve had during the year and then getting like... I think for Biology it’s like 15 or 30 minutes to prepare after you’ve drawn your topic.
    I went in and drew the topic I absolutely did not want, and I’d consider my worst one of the ones we’d had (it was the female menstrual cycle btw). I went into the preparation room and prepped the best I could, which was not a lot. I spent the majority of the time dreading the whole thing, hoping to get an 02, and considering it very lucky if I get a 4.
    Time comes for me to go in and present, I do, and I’m basically screaming internally the entire time, then comes the ‘voting’ as it’s called between my teacher and our censor (forgot to mention but a Censor is a teacher from another school there to ensure the exam is fair and the students’ teacher isn’t playing favourites).
    The voting takes about 5-10 minutes and I get called in. I sit, dreading getting only 02 and when my teacher then tells me I got 7, I actually asked him “Are you serious?” in disbelief, and he confirmed it. To say I was relieved and pleasantly surprised is an understatement. I expressed my joy and excitement over the grade and told them how I felt so bad about the entire thing and was sure I’d only get 02 and that I thought I’d be lucky to get a 4, and then I get the grade ABOVE that.

    In 2017 I had really bad flu, after that my nose would not stop dripping. Doctor said that it was post nasal drip. It was still dripping two months later and I had bad headaches every morning. After several trips to my doctor I got an ENT appointment.
    The ENT consultant tested the drips and the next day I had to go back for a cranial MRI.
    The drips were ceberospinal fluid and I had a hole in the meninges at the back of my sinuses.
    When I had the bad flu it probably caused viral encephalitis, and the swelling of my brain broke some thin bones between the brain and sinus, tearing a hole in my meninges. Some brain tissue had been pushed out of the hole. I had to have urgent surgery, as having your brain exposed at the back of your nose is very dangerous.
    I had a three and a half hour operation to patch the hole with fascia taken from my left leg.
    I lost a bit of brain tissue in the surgery. The surgery was done with tools up my nose. That was painless when I came round, but my leg where the fascia had been taken was very painful.

One day, the neighbor phones my husband and tells him that there's someone on the porch. My husband calls me and tells me to look on the porch. I'm not the whole way down, it's dark and I look over to see a raccoon giving me a creepy look with chocolate bars in each hand. It was terrifying. The darkness does something to those animals. I was not happy with the mess I had to clean up. My sister's response: "I put the that tote on the bottom." Me: "Thumbs! They have thumbs and can move stuff!". She was so mad that she had to go to the store and buy more chocolate, lmao.
