I'm surprised this isn't the case since they already train them in CPR (or at least some airlines do, a friend of mine was a flight attendant and actually had to perform CPR on passengers twice).
There is a worldwide shortage so our airline is only just getting them as we're incredibly low on the priority pile. Training isn't the problem as we get annual training and it's just added into our curriculum, we also get important updates which we have to read before we begin our duty and the epipen addition was one for us.

It is not necessary to know what the emergency is about!!! They did not divert the flight even when somebody was having anaphylaxis in the plane. So for me, if the plane needs to land somewhere between it means that we just saved a life!!! And even having the idea that somebody thanks you not diverting the plane feels crazy and super selfish. Nobody does make those decisions lightly!

You said the truest thing ever.

Im also allergic to treenuts and have had a few reactions when I was younger. I only really remember one where my grandma gave me some popcorn that had treenuts in the sauce thing and being on the couch with a towel feeling violently ill I had a scare when I started eating a heath bar and told my friends on vc it was crunchy. They joked about it having nuts which got me worried so I checked and yea, there were nuts. Luckily I only ate a small bit and was able to just take benadryl instead of my epipen but jesus was it scary to think “oh god im gonna have an allergic reaction”. My mom told me that i did a good job immediately coming to them about it and also apologized for not noticing before letting it stay in my halloween candy bag

As someone that suffers from shellfish allergies and carries an epi pen, I salute you Dr. Mike🫡. Anaphylaxis is the scariest feeling on earth. Bless you. 🙌🏾 🫂🫂🫂🫂🫂🫂🫂🫂🫂
Dr Mike: We laugh at episodes of Grey's and House we don't do that anymore. Also Dr Mike: Has to watch episodes of Grey's and House to learn how to do it.. So basically what Dr. Mike is saying is that I could have helped him.. I am not a doctor or nurse.
Me: *doing nothing with my life, living in the same hoodie for a couple days* Dr.Mike: *saves someone’s life without wearing shoes in a hoodie* Inspiring
Other hero’s: “well I couldn’t allow myself to be nervous, I had a life to save.” Dr. Mike: “I started to panic.” “I was fumbling around.” 😭 I love Dr. Mike so much.
Underrated. This is so true normal hero’s always brag and don’t admit they were nervous, but I know very well that it takes a very brave person to admit he’s afraid 😊
Honestly if I was the patient i would feel good if he’s nervous,not cuz like he might not know what he’s doing but like cuz he cares enough to be worried so much abt it
How Delta didn't IMEDIATELY reach out to Dr. Mike and have a 'consultation' meeting with him about how to better improve their medical kits - especially regarding EpiPens - is beyond me.
Just takes one suit where they can realize the potential loss of hundreds of thousands, or millions of of dollars, to keep epipens on board. Human life isn't priceless, but its real expensive to lose without good reason. Safety isn't a product of good will, Safety is a product of human life being too expensive to be frivolous with, WAY too expensive.
@@edew9180 the guy didn't even know he was allergic to red meat, it was a wild coincidence and series of events that led to his attack. I think it could be good to have an EpiPen on board. You can make the decision to not go to the Mexican restaurant Also, can heartburn kill you? (That's not a sracastic question I really want to know)
E Dew if necessary, I would much rather use an expired epi pen and get sick than suffocate and die. Just because you’re ignorant, doesn’t mean you should share your opinion.
@@edew9180 But as you see in this example, not everyone knows about their allergies, so of course you should have an epipen with you, if you know that you are allergic to some foods, but the planes should definitely have one in their emergency kits too.
One of my brother's best friends had a medical emergency on a flight after "cold symptoms" suddenly turned much worse. Unfortunately, there was no one like Dr. Mike on board to help him and the pilots decided an emergency landing was not needed because he seemed stable enough to them. He wound up going into sepsis which could not be reversed in the hospital they finally sent him to upon finishing the flight. He lived long enough for his parents to see him, though he was not conscious, and then he died. He was in his early thirties, a beloved mathematics professor, his disabled brother's only friend, a gifted athlete, a wonderful friend, and the only one who could have given his parents grandchildren. He was one of the kindest and most brilliant people I have ever known. Friends, students and colleagues from around the world sent letters upon his death, which were compiled into a big binder and given to his parents at his funeral. He had such an incredibly bright future ahead of him. Along with him, the future he intended to give his parents of grandkids and a daughter-in-law to comfort and assist them in old age, of nephews and nieces to lift his brother's isolation, was also lost. His parents live in my neighborhood and all the places where their kids and my brother used to play, in the tree fort and basketball court they built, the sandpit with child-sized construction equipment, the garden, and so on, are all empty. The whimsical math toys he made for fun are unused. His brother doesn't come to visit anymore and his parents rarely go on the walks they used to take together every evening. The airline never gave them so much as an apology.
Aaargh! Especially as the person going to sepsis is just going to be "nice and quiet", unconscious passanger and not able to advocate for himself. I so deeply sorry for your loss! 💗
Chaosmayagg I know this isn’t an “emergency” type video but all health related assistance videos on youtube shouldn’t have ads so it’s a good thing he doesn’t use them
I love how you're just so honest. The way you said you were panicking when other doctors just say 'stay calm' to themselves, the way you have no shame in telling us that you don't remember how to do a CRIC, the way you told us you didn't actually looked like a medical professional and just looked like a random person from Ohio XD.
I was thinking the same thing. There is no humble bragging in this story at all... just a genuine, decent human being trying to be the best person he can be. And think of the other lives he may save by calling attention to the fact that airlines don't have EpiPens in their FirstAid kits.
Recently I started working as a FA. During trainig they told me different stories about medical situation. Once passanger passed away and procedures tell that plane has to land in the nearest airport. Others were fuming that they had to land...... So unacceptable
You’re a savior Dr. Mike! As a pharmacist I’m shocked there are no EpiPens on board and hope your story creates changes. Add Narcan too for good measure. These should always be available. You’re living your purpose!
Doesn't surprise me..airlines don't want to spend $500 per plane, every year, just to stock epi pens. Their whole emergency med kit may not cost that much l.
@@JohnSoh I'm convinced they can make deals that would make it cheaper for them. Where I come from, an Epipen costs around 80 bucks and in many countries it is comparable. It is rather the exception that it costs as much as in the USA
I love seeing doctors who are humble enough to admit they look stuff up and educate themselves when they don't know!!! That's so freaking cool and so necessary because doctors are humans too - they can't know everything! I have two extremely rare diseases and it's been the doctors who have attitudes like Dr. Mike that have really saved my life! Way to go Dr. Mike!
Only the best doctors admit to "looking stuff up" when they don't know something --- the doctors who claim to know everything are the most dangerous and most likely to get sued
I have a non-lethal allergy to nuts (it's generally just a really bad time, but I don't need to go to the ER or anything) and once on a trip the passenger nearby me was chomping down Snickers. It was not a fun flight but luckily it was only an hour. I can't imagine how much it must suck to have a serious allergy, especially on airplanes.
This was actually on my delta flight to Italy- Delta: (announces that there is someone with a nut allergy on board) *4 hours later* Also Delta: (hands out Toblerone with nuts in it to all the passengers)
Sophie I agree I have a serious nut all to all nuts but I make sure to have a EpiPen on me at all time and a lot of people don’t know that u can tell a flight attendant and they will not serve nuts and they will let u on the plane first to go and wipe down your seat in case there nut dust on nuts on it or in your seat
Prices would go up. It would be great if they charged who ever used it like triple the amount of a regular one so they dont waste money and charge us extra
Epipen's are only $123 using goodrx.com without health insurance. Not only should they carry it but that is less than one plane ticket per plane per year. Also they have to have health insurance making the price go down. Also I worked for a camp that go a discount for buying 5 a year so buying in bulk will make the price go down even farther. No excuses if they spit that cost between 50 people that would add less than $3 to each ticket for 1 flight a year. Also Epipen training could be done with CPR training in about 10 minutes and a practice Epipen is $20 .
He is calm because he lived through it, he was panicking on the flight but despite that, he was able to trust his medical skills and make the right decisions
Medical shows only care about ratings --- you can't get ratings about a doc giving epinephrine and then just waiting for a few hours monitoring vital signs LOL
"I'm not a hero" You are. This is the literal definition of a hero. You can still go on being the humble practitioner of medicine that you are...but you're also a hero.
Imagine being a flight attendent looking at Doctor Mike, who can easily be confused for a frat boy in his airplane attire, and staying ok I believe you're a doctor ! lol love this story.
i had this same allergy a few years ago. I remember that I would constantly and inexplicably get hives-usually on my head after I'd fallen asleep, waking me up in a fit of scratching. Eventually, I had a bad enough reaction (my back was pretty much a giant hive) that my parents decided to take me to an allergist. They did their bunch of tests, and that's when I discovered I had the allergy (along with a mild grass allergy). Funnily enough, I remember the exact tick that gave me the allergy: it dug its stupid little head into a not-so-pleasant location during a Boy Scout camping trip. After, like, two years I grew out of it.
MY IPHONE TOLD ME ABOUT THIS TICK, TICKS ARE LIKE MY #1 FEAR IN LIFE. I HATEEEEEE THEM. I WAS TELLING MY SISTER AB THIS TICK, AND SHE WAS ALL LIKE "WELL NO IT WONT BE A PROBLEM, BLAH BLAH." FUCK THIS COMES ON MY RECOMMENDED. HE WAS BIT BY IT, NOW HE'S ALLERGIC TO RED MEAT. I'M GIVING UP RED MEAT NEXT WEEK AND MOVING TO A FIELD WITH NO TALL GRASS...AHHH
L Fischer My old teacher had two kids who had allergies to something (one allergic to peanuts, another allergic to strawberries) the boy's peanut allergy wasn't really bad, so the doctors didn't give him an epi pen, but apparently the girl's strawberry allergy was bad so my teacher keeps her epi pen in the closet.
when i was in school we had to buy our own epi pens and give 1 to the nurse office and to 1 gym (since im allergic to latex and basket balls and such have latex) every year. note this is when epi pens where like $900 a pop! now they are so cheap at 500........
Also epipens COST $500!!! Insurance pays for some/most of it but people who can’t afford health insurance or who have crappy coverage end up having to pay a lot and you have to replace them annually! It is not okay to call carrying an epipen personal responsibility and then make them so expensive to obtain
Honestly tho.....everyone is mentioning that sexy and hot doctor and not just "doctor".. 😂😂😂 it must be hard to live when u are way too attractive...so much attention lol😂
Doctor Mike, I don't know which airline you traveled on, but in Europe practically all airlines have epipens on board, they are located in the first aid kit, and yes, the flight attendants are trained to know how to use them. They are also trained to identify different medical conditions, such as angina, heart attack, stroke, shock, and many others, as well as treat them within what is possible. Flight attendants also learn basic life support and how to use a defibrillator. They even need to know how to deliver a baby. In a medical emergency, the first step is to ask passengers if there is a medically qualified person on board. Usually there is a doctor, nurse or paramedic among the passengers, but if this does not happen, it is the flight attendants who provide help to the person. They are also responsible for deciding whether to make an emergency landing, passing this information on to the pilots. That's how things work at every airline I've worked for to date. Happy flights! ;-)
Imagine you have your pregnant wife giving birth (and you'll miss it). Maybe a relative dying. Maybe a job interview in a tight schedule. Maybe a multibillion deal with a hard to do 10 CEOs or it won't go. Maybe a political refugee in agony. ....
Helgali None of those even begin to compare to someone being in risk of losing their life on that plane. So no, you shouldn’t have to imagine those scenarios happening.
My dad has been a general surgeon for 40+ years. I have been with him at least a dozen times in public places including planes when someone has announced over the loud speaker "Is there a doctor present?". 9 times out of 10 he'll give it a good minute to see if anyone else responds but inevitably he ends up helping. At 75 he is still practicing and we ask when he's going to retire. His answer has always been "When I can no longer help people." Keep helping people, Dr. Mike! ❤
Fabulous job, Dr. Mike! Thank you for saving this passenger's life and for breaking down the story in an entertaining and educational way! I've had to call for medical personnel on my flights, but thankfully never something this serious. I love our healthcare workers!
Thank you for being kind even through he messed up your timing of your vacation. I wish everyone was as kind as you. I’m disabled and have seen people get mad if I had done something like that.

i dont even watch greys anatomy but i specifically remember watching this episode with my mom and i can still picture blood squinting out of the straw. i don’t even remember if that actually happened but i can see it in my mind
Is there a medical professional on board? No not just an medical professional, it's Doctor freaking Mike. Also side note: How is it not required to have a normal epi pen on board. Had you not been there and somebody didn't know how to approach this, the situation could've turned out very bad. Good job sir👏
Doctor Mike: *doesn’t believe in medical dramas* Also doctor mike: *incredibly good looking and saves a life on an airplane while going on a business trip.
LOL trueee! I’m also shocked that he appears to remain humble even when the media is blowing up his ego and the fact that he’s known to be the “attractive doctor”
Honestly this happens pretty frequently. My mother is a doctor and she's had multiple medical emergencies that she had to treat on the plane. She just had one with Lufthansa who according to her had a small hospital on board in terms of resources. So it you're going to have a medical emergency, do it on a Lufthansa flight xD
Remember when Doctor Mike watched that first episode of The Good Doctor and we all laughed when he made the throat incision? We won't be laughing anymore. 😐
As an OMS-1 with an anaphylactic allergy, I just found this video and can honestly say this is one of my worst nightmares. However, this video is tremendously inspiring and adds to my motivation to become the best physician I can be. And YES! Please help advocate for better medical supplies on board all aircrafts. Thank you for sharing.
Dear Dr. Mike, thank you for what you did for this person in trouble. I don't know if airlines will watch your video, but you have an important opportunity here. Please write a public letter to the airline CEO's recommending the Epi Pen (and/or encourage your viewers to do the write and call them too). Airlines will probably not take action just based on this video, as wonderful and impacting as it is. In any case, thank you for all you do!
Nuestra Musica Latina Unfortunately, if watching Air Crash Investigation (known as Mayday in some countries) has taught me anything, it’s that most airlines only improve things *after* someone dies. Especially if the improvements cost money. There have been known design flaws in plane parts etc., and planes have only gotten retrofitted with redesigned parts after a fatal accident has caused public outrage. If anything, they’ll probably say: ”Well there was epinephrine and they were able to use it, so it’s fine the way it is.” Because someone who’s not a doctor might not understand how dangerous an accidental overdose of epinephrine would be and how much safer an epipen is to use when there is not a medical professional on board. Because there won’t always be.
@@nalinea18 You are right about the attitude of many of those companies. But, that doesn't mean we shouldn't even try. We can't just accept that they don't respond and move on. We must at least do what we can.
Incredible story. I like how Dr. Mike willingly discused that he was nervous and didn’t exactly know how to preform certain tasks. It takes a humble person to admit when they are at a loss or need additional advice and are a little scared. Glad it all worked out in the end, you are a good man and a great doctor! ❤

@@truebornseeker9767 nobody can be allergic to a water since the water is in every living organism and water is making 70% of human body. A person allergic to a water wouldn't survive a minute. Those that are saying they are allergic to a water are actually allergic to some anorganic compounds that are disolved in the water since the water is carrying different amount of different types of anorganic things.

@@michaelinamoelter1738 not sure what that has to do with this but you are completely right
This video proves something very important. Real heroes don’t anything special to be a hero, just kindness and courage. You are truly a hero Dr. Mike.
Other hero’s: “well I couldn’t allow myself to be nervous, I had a life to save.” Dr. Mike: “I started to panic.” “I was fumbling around.” 😭 I love Dr. Mike so much.
Underrated. This is so true normal hero’s always brag and don’t admit they were nervous, but I know very well that it takes a very brave person to admit he’s afraid 😊
Honestly if I was the patient i would feel good if he’s nervous,not cuz like he might not know what he’s doing but like cuz he cares enough to be worried so much abt it
This reminds me of Game of Thrones.
Theon: Are you afraid?
Rob: Yes.
Theon: Good.
Rob: Why is that good?
Theon: It means you're not stupid!
Frrr
Absolutely! Dr Mike KNEW everything he could potentially face!
How Delta didn't IMEDIATELY reach out to Dr. Mike and have a 'consultation' meeting with him about how to better improve their medical kits - especially regarding EpiPens - is beyond me.
MERL1N_TV, they aren’t that interested in saving passengers’ lives as they are in saving money.
@@evilsharkey8954 Perhaps - but they should also be concerned with the APPEARANCE of being interested saving passenger lives.
Just takes one suit where they can realize the potential loss of hundreds of thousands, or millions of of dollars, to keep epipens on board. Human life isn't priceless, but its real expensive to lose without good reason. Safety isn't a product of good will, Safety is a product of human life being too expensive to be frivolous with, WAY too expensive.

@@edew9180 the guy didn't even know he was allergic to red meat, it was a wild coincidence and series of events that led to his attack. I think it could be good to have an EpiPen on board. You can make the decision to not go to the Mexican restaurant
Also, can heartburn kill you? (That's not a sracastic question I really want to know)
E Dew if necessary, I would much rather use an expired epi pen and get sick than suffocate and die. Just because you’re ignorant, doesn’t mean you should share your opinion.
@@edew9180 But as you see in this example, not everyone knows about their allergies, so of course you should have an epipen with you, if you know that you are allergic to some foods, but the planes should definitely have one in their emergency kits too.

One of my brother's best friends had a medical emergency on a flight after "cold symptoms" suddenly turned much worse. Unfortunately, there was no one like Dr. Mike on board to help him and the pilots decided an emergency landing was not needed because he seemed stable enough to them. He wound up going into sepsis which could not be reversed in the hospital they finally sent him to upon finishing the flight. He lived long enough for his parents to see him, though he was not conscious, and then he died.
He was in his early thirties, a beloved mathematics professor, his disabled brother's only friend, a gifted athlete, a wonderful friend, and the only one who could have given his parents grandchildren. He was one of the kindest and most brilliant people I have ever known. Friends, students and colleagues from around the world sent letters upon his death, which were compiled into a big binder and given to his parents at his funeral. He had such an incredibly bright future ahead of him. Along with him, the future he intended to give his parents of grandkids and a daughter-in-law to comfort and assist them in old age, of nephews and nieces to lift his brother's isolation, was also lost.
His parents live in my neighborhood and all the places where their kids and my brother used to play, in the tree fort and basketball court they built, the sandpit with child-sized construction equipment, the garden, and so on, are all empty. The whimsical math toys he made for fun are unused. His brother doesn't come to visit anymore and his parents rarely go on the walks they used to take together every evening.
The airline never gave them so much as an apology.
Aaargh! Especially as the person going to sepsis is just going to be "nice and quiet", unconscious passanger and not able to advocate for himself.
I so deeply sorry for your loss! 💗
which airline is this?

Doesn't surprise me..airlines don't want to spend $500 per plane, every year, just to stock epi pens. Their whole emergency med kit may not cost that much l.
@@JohnSoh I'm convinced they can make deals that would make it cheaper for them.

I have a non-lethal allergy to nuts (it's generally just a really bad time, but I don't need to go to the ER or anything) and once on a trip the passenger nearby me was chomping down Snickers. It was not a fun flight but luckily it was only an hour. I can't imagine how much it must suck to have a serious allergy, especially on airplanes.
This was actually on my delta flight to Italy-
Delta: (announces that there is someone with a nut allergy on board)
*4 hours later*
Also Delta: (hands out Toblerone with nuts in it to all the passengers)
i admire you so much as a person. the humility, sense of duty and compassion, the self-awareness... you were born to be a doctor.
Doctor Mike should start a petition to have epi pens on planes! Like if you’d sign it!
Sophie I agree I have a serious nut all to all nuts but I make sure to have a EpiPen on me at all time and a lot of people don’t know that u can tell a flight attendant and they will not serve nuts and they will let u on the plane first to go and wipe down your seat in case there nut dust on nuts on it or in your seat
Prices would go up. It would be great if they charged who ever used it like triple the amount of a regular one so they dont waste money and charge us extra
Agree. But how much additional fare will the airlines charge to their passenger for epi pens? Lol
Mai Howell I don’t think the prices would go up since they already have epinephrine just in a different source
Epipen's are only $123 using goodrx.com without health insurance. Not only should they carry it but that is less than one plane ticket per plane per year. Also they have to have health insurance making the price go down. Also I worked for a camp that go a discount for buying 5 a year so buying in bulk will make the price go down even farther. No excuses if they spit that cost between 50 people that would add less than $3 to each ticket for 1 flight a year. Also Epipen training could be done with CPR training in about 10 minutes and a practice Epipen is $20 .
He’s talking so calmly and i’m here PANICKING listening to the story

i had this same allergy a few years ago.
I remember that I would constantly and inexplicably get hives-usually on my head after I'd fallen asleep, waking me up in a fit of scratching. Eventually, I had a bad enough reaction (my back was pretty much a giant hive) that my parents decided to take me to an allergist. They did their bunch of tests, and that's when I discovered I had the allergy (along with a mild grass allergy). Funnily enough, I remember the exact tick that gave me the allergy: it dug its stupid little head into a not-so-pleasant location during a Boy Scout camping trip.
After, like, two years I grew out of it.
I like how this was not exaggerated like most you tubers. They will be like “someone sneezed on a plane, I said bless you. I saved a life on a plane.”
Thats bcoz this guy is a professional doc and they are not

Yes. Epi pens should be all over in public areas, especially airports!! Schools, malls, etc. Epi pens save lives!!!
L Fischer definitely I believe every public place should have workers arround carrying them just in case to
Put them right next to the AED machines found every 200 feet.
L Fischer My old teacher had two kids who had allergies to something (one allergic to peanuts, another allergic to strawberries) the boy's peanut allergy wasn't really bad, so the doctors didn't give him an epi pen, but apparently the girl's strawberry allergy was bad so my teacher keeps her epi pen in the closet.
when i was in school we had to buy our own epi pens and give 1 to the nurse office and to 1 gym (since im allergic to latex and basket balls and such have latex) every year. note this is when epi pens where like $900 a pop! now they are so cheap at 500........
Also epipens COST $500!!! Insurance pays for some/most of it but people who can’t afford health insurance or who have crappy coverage end up having to pay a lot and you have to replace them annually! It is not okay to call carrying an epipen personal responsibility and then make them so expensive to obtain

Doctor Mike, I don't know which airline you traveled on, but in Europe practically all airlines have epipens on board, they are located in the first aid kit, and yes, the flight attendants are trained to know how to use them. They are also trained to identify different medical conditions, such as angina, heart attack, stroke, shock, and many others, as well as treat them within what is possible. Flight attendants also learn basic life support and how to use a defibrillator. They even need to know how to deliver a baby. In a medical emergency, the first step is to ask passengers if there is a medically qualified person on board. Usually there is a doctor, nurse or paramedic among the passengers, but if this does not happen, it is the flight attendants who provide help to the person. They are also responsible for deciding whether to make an emergency landing, passing this information on to the pilots. That's how things work at every airline I've worked for to date. Happy flights! ;-)
Be careful... or all of us in the US are going to come live in Europe. 😁

At 75 he is still practicing and we ask when he's going to retire. His answer has always been "When I can no longer help people."

This man and our world is so lucky to have you Dr.Mike, you really are the best
Is there a medical professional on board? No not just an medical professional, it's Doctor freaking Mike.
Also side note: How is it not required to have a normal epi pen on board. Had you not been there and somebody didn't know how to approach this, the situation could've turned out very bad. Good job sir👏
Blondie Nicole amen girl!
👏👏👏👏👏👏👏
epi-pens on board is a huge thing we need. thank god he knew what to do.
Doctor Mike: **went to med school and saves lives**
People: “Yeah, The hot doctor”
Everyone is a doctor not everyone is a good looking one
lmfao
hagia safiyya TBH, he is tho.... But he's so intelligent and kind an that is why I know his channel sooo soo very much❤️

Doctor Mike: *doesn’t believe in medical dramas*
Also doctor mike: *incredibly good looking and saves a life on an airplane while going on a business trip.
😂😂😂
lmao yesss, straight out of a soap opera
Lol
LOL trueee! I’m also shocked that he appears to remain humble even when the media is blowing up his ego and the fact that he’s known to be the “attractive doctor”
Honestly this happens pretty frequently. My mother is a doctor and she's had multiple medical emergencies that she had to treat on the plane. She just had one with Lufthansa who according to her had a small hospital on board in terms of resources. So it you're going to have a medical emergency, do it on a Lufthansa flight xD
I learned about the lone star tick yesterday in med school. So cool to see an application of this knowledge
Remember when Doctor Mike watched that first episode of The Good Doctor and we all laughed when he made the throat incision?
We won't be laughing anymore. 😐
And it was in an airport, coincidence? :)
Neyna I don’t think so😏😂😂
Ana Acapella hahaha ironic
@The Rageaholic
Yeah it was 😂
"Isn't that ironic? Don't you think? It's like Doctor Mike living a medical drama episode..."
Holy crap I thought he really was going to perform the Cric on the passenger for a sec
Body: I shall defend myself from this unknown protein by swelling the throat.
God, our bodies are so dumb in certain instances. LMAO.
Body: Guess I'll die 💁♂️
@@Khymeira Agreed, especially when someone gets cancer
Lol
*chokes*
He makes medical information fun to watch, teaching us important things.
Doctor Mike: Saves man life
Passengers: Thanks for not ruining flight
Seems legit 👌
Sadly that's the society we're living in
Right? So petty. If that were me needing medical attention and I heard people saying that, they’d be catching some hands.
I’m your 1000th like
i dont think they knew what was going on
"Is there a medical professional on the plane?"
School Nurse on the plane: *Just put an ice pack on it*
Peridot 😂😂😂
So true
my school nurse just gives us glucose like literally so true
put vix/tiger balm
Here's a paper towel, an alcohol swab, and some cough syrup. Now get back to the playground
Dr Mike: Saves life of dude on a plane while being sleep deprived
Newspaper: Hot doctor saves life
More woman more money
And medical nerds are gonna read it anyway so win win
Fuck yeah, can't be wrong tho
StudyRoots World not a lie
Yup, that little article was really funny.
As an OMS-1 with an anaphylactic allergy, I just found this video and can honestly say this is one of my worst nightmares. However, this video is tremendously inspiring and adds to my motivation to become the best physician I can be. And YES! Please help advocate for better medical supplies on board all aircrafts. Thank you for sharing.
meredith gray is the best doctor
mike: *hold my epipen*
grey*
Gesika E * you’re. Your is not grammatically correct in your sentence
@@Karaaa99 aaagh k thank
Erm this is the internet correcting people because of grammar is stupid.. like is that satisfaction to you to correct people ON THE INTERNET
More like “give me” my epipen
Dear Dr. Mike, thank you for what you did for this person in trouble. I don't know if airlines will watch your video, but you have an important opportunity here. Please write a public letter to the airline CEO's recommending the Epi Pen (and/or encourage your viewers to do the write and call them too). Airlines will probably not take action just based on this video, as wonderful and impacting as it is. In any case, thank you for all you do!
Nuestra Musica Latina Unfortunately, if watching Air Crash Investigation (known as Mayday in some countries) has taught me anything, it’s that most airlines only improve things *after* someone dies. Especially if the improvements cost money. There have been known design flaws in plane parts etc., and planes have only gotten retrofitted with redesigned parts after a fatal accident has caused public outrage.
If anything, they’ll probably say: ”Well there was epinephrine and they were able to use it, so it’s fine the way it is.” Because someone who’s not a doctor might not understand how dangerous an accidental overdose of epinephrine would be and how much safer an epipen is to use when there is not a medical professional on board. Because there won’t always be.
@@nalinea18 You are right about the attitude of many of those companies. But, that doesn't mean we shouldn't even try. We can't just accept that they don't respond and move on. We must at least do what we can.
Passenger/Patient : I wonder what is he thinking
Dr. Mike : So how can I open his throat
Nice 😂
Preparing for all contingencies is smart. Lol
This made me laugh way to much
eyyy another greek XD
😂😂😂
Incredible story. I like how Dr. Mike willingly discused that he was nervous and didn’t exactly know how to preform certain tasks. It takes a humble person to admit when they are at a loss or need additional advice and are a little scared.
Glad it all worked out in the end, you are a good man and a great doctor! ❤
