Dont let him listen to a rap song: "No ivan, Dont shoot your bitches, bitches have emotions too and guns cause severe traumas which is bad for the body AND mind!" Yeah thanks doc! :P
My partner has an emotional support dog who was trained by a professional service dog trainer (a close friend) and she is totally like this! She’ll come up and smack you with her paw and then lay on top of you if you’re sad but she doesn’t differentiate between who she’s supposed to do it to, so sometimes she’ll just whack strangers with her paw because they smell sad. This is one of the reasons why she could never be a registered service animal. She’d be at restaurants trying to crawl in people’s laps who smell sad.
Doctor Mike's editor/s need a desperate raise because they are HILARIOUS😂😂😂 Also, Mike seems like that one friend who knows ABSOLUTELY EVERY SINGLE RANDOM FACT for no reason
Me thinking Dr. Mike is finally getting better at catching the puns with how quickly he got "skeleton on a peloton", then the lemon and pear showed up and I was like, nevermind.
2:50 To actually make a radiology review out of this (as a Radiologist myself). Miliary TB can looks like in the galaxy picture, with a diffuse nodular pattern, though it tends to be even more diffuse. The GGOs seen in the CT image shown does not correspond with the XRay per se; indeed, that pattern is concercing for atypical pneumonia instead, such as COVID19, though other nonspecific pneumonitis can also look like this. The cavitating lesion you showed in the final image is classic for TB infection.
3:14 another bad feeling is when you take a pill, you try to swallow it with water but it just doesnt go down it just keeps swirling around like youre unable to take the pill at all.
4:58 "You've heard of Elf on the Shelf, get ready for...Skeleton on a Peloton!" Dr. Mike's getting really good at rebus puzzles (those used to be his bane) 🧩 8:30 Never mind, "a lemon on a pear" stumped him again 😂
The old medic who taught my EMT classes said the only common denominator among the few cardiac arrest patients he had that survived was someone had started early CPR before he arrived. If a cardiac arrest patient was given early CPR, some of them survived, but every single one that was not given early CPR died.
If you’ve ever heard of one of those old stories with doctors who rush through surgery, it was because it reduces the amount of time people were in pain. Anesthesia allowed doctors to slow down and do things right.
@@GogiRegion But before they realized about cross contamination/bacteria they "slowed down" with unwashed instruments and did a lot more surgeries in general. So you got to die later of sepsis instead of on the table, or maybe just having recovered or coped w/o intervention. oops. 💀💀

And remember invisible disabilities and illnesses and stuff exist and are more common than you’d think, and PLEASE get your mental health checked and tracked regularly (: good luck
9:30 Actually, yes. Giving alcohol was a common method for calming patients. Before ether was introduced as an anesthetic surgical intervention was rare, the most common procedure was amputation. Knocking a patient out could certainly be done, but more commonly they were given a drink of a stiff spirit (or laudanum, we'll get to that) and held down. The best circumstances for a surgery (read: amputation) were a patient who was already unconscious (either from pain or head trauma) and a very large doctor who could put a lot of force behind the bone saw to carry out the operation quickly. I'm sure depending on the region there were herbal painkillers available, but in western medicine the most common painkiller was laudanum. Laudanum, for those who don't know or need a refresher, is a tincture of 10% opium dissolved in alcohol and was invented in the 17th century. Tl;dr: Doctors used to just get patients drunk and stoned to combat pain, and almost no deep surgical techniques were developed before the advent of ether in 1846.
I work in healthcare and totally relate to the glove thing. I can't wear nitrile or latex gloves, and so I have to wear the vinyl ones.

About the argument of Women wanting another baby, and men not wanting to get kicked in the nuts again. My psychology teacher said, that there is a such a thing called postnatal amnesia. So usually, women forget about the pain of the birth, as a protection mechanism of the body
I think it has to do with the "reward" you get from the pain, what happens AFTER. When you give birth, you have a baby, which usually brings you happiness. When you get kicked in the nuts you get... nothing but pain. 😅
I don't remember if you forget the pain specifically, but I do know that your brain floods you with endorphins (esp. oxytocin) afterrwards to make you feel better. It's kind of a way for the brain to tell your body "hey you're fine or whatever, now love your baby!" that helps bring on the motherly instincts and so forth. Or so I've read. So it's more that when you give birth, your brain gives you an Enormous Huge Reward and if there's one thing that evolution made us yearn for, it's the Big Rewards aka the endorphins/happy chemicals that our brain gives us. That's also why you technically can't be happy constantly. You have short periods of being very happy before you're deprived of the Big Reward happy chemicals to make you chase for another hit of it. It's a way to motivate you to survive, I believe. So yeah, you can sort of forget how much it hurts because your mind tricks itself into thinking "worth it!" and I guess the kid might be nice to have too? Whereas getting kicked in the nuts doesn't exactly give you Big Rewards? I mean endorphins are probably used to relieve the pain and the stress you feel upon the kick, but I doubt you exactly get a Big Reward unless you got dared and you win something?
Pre-anaesthesia, doctors would give patients alcohol because the drunkenness would help slightly numb the pain, but the best (and "safest") way to do a surgery was basically to speedrun it. Some doctors even boasted about being able to amputate infected/necrotic/gangrenous limbs in ~40 seconds.

3:18 i have a small esophagus and i couldn't even take a pill, not even little bitty ones, until i was almost an adult (and it took lots of practice and choking) and now im 26 and i STILL get pills stuck in my esophagus. i can feel them there, i taste them as they dissolve, if i burp it tastes purely like the pill. sometimes swallowing food helps but usually that sucker is glued in place and I'm miserable until it dissolves (which takes longer bc no acid and little fluid is on it)
My most successful strategy has been to chew a bite of food and stick the pill in the center of it just before swallowing. Helps keep the pills from sticking to the esophageal walls. Not perfect, unfortunately, but different food textures can help different pills. More practice and whatnot.
@@JeremyLevi yikes, I've seen people do that before and I never understood how they could stomach the taste. I have to be very careful about where on my tongue I place the pill, bc the more I taste it the more likely it is that I'll choke for some reason.
Your health/fitness tips have been a HUGE inspiration and motivation for me. I'm currently down 110lbs from consistent proper nutrition/exercise and have been completely alcohol and smoke free for a year! Thank you for your content :)
As a temp I worked packaging diabetic test strips. There were problems with some of the strips activating prematurely. I pointed out that the gloves they issued were dusted with corn starch (amylose) quite close chemically to sucrose. "What do you know, you idiot temp?" I had been teaching chemistry before I moved to their neighborhood.
Ug. I remember when my brother went through his Axe phase. Our whole second floor would REEK after he was done, and the bathroom was an impenetrable fortress of teenage man-musk. Sitting in a car with him was just as bad. Glad he’s outgrown it.
My last three years in High School was the absolute worst for the Axe craze. Seemed like every week , you could pretty much guarantee that you were gonna be choked out by that smell (and annoyingly, it was always the exact same scent). There was even hot spots that included the Restroom, the Cafeteria (because I love having my lunch tainted by the smell of desperate teen in a can), the Auditorium (Almost always around the entrance AND exits so you can be suffocated before AND after the assembly) and of course the Gym locker (You do NOT want to know what fresh-from-a-workout sweat AND AXE combined in such a tight space smells like). Funny thing is now every once in a while, I'll either be brought something from Axe by my family or get some sample pack that includes a small can. Thankfully, NONE of them are that scent so they are far more bearable but I don't imagine I'll be any closer to the "chick magnet" the ads promised then I am just being nervous anxious me (that and contextually speaking, "30+ year old man wearing axe" somehow sounds worse then desperate teen boys wearing it)
On the last day of eighth grade all the kids flooded the hallways to sign each other's yearbooks, and at some point someone set off an Axe bomb or something in one of the hallways and it was *awful.* Everyone evacuated that hallway. I don't even know how it happened.
When me and my brother were in high school he liked getting up early and I always waited till the very last minute. We shared a bathroom which meant I was always stuck walking into his toxic Axe cloud in the morning, it was awful.
Doctor Mike. I haven't watched anything from your channel for at least one year. It's soo amazing and inspiring to see how your channel has grown. You've taught me the importance of doing chest compressions whilst 911 is on their way... Watching this video has taught me a lot as I'm trying to quit myself of a mix of cocaine and alcohol habit and your five seconds of talking about the toxicity of cocaine and alcohol together on tbe body has taught me something... Thank you sir. Not to mention how f*ckin expensive a habit like this is. Remember folks, stay happy and healthy 🙃
7:43 "This is fresh." Nope! Actually, there was a recent rudimentary test done on a few people who cleaned their water bottles and they found unacceptably high levels of bacteria in those bottles according to the lab they sent the bottles to get analyzed. The worst offenders were the least cleanable bottles. My general rule of thumb was already that if you can't get your whole hand into the bottle to clean it thoroughly, then you can't get the bottle clean at all. That test only confirmed what I already knew to be true: Water bottles are havens for germs.
I saw the thumbnail and was like, "Get this Pesto Bismol in my life now. NOW." Edit: Not to be that person but I'm gonna be that person. THANK U FOR THE LIKES
It has me curious if savory flavored medicine would be good or terrible. Like imagine BBQ flavored cough syrup, that sounds like it could be atrocious or actually surprisingly better.
Seeing the thumbnail so quickly the green made me think of the green Tabasco sauce 😅 and I was like "If that's true IT DEFIES THE PURPOSE OF PEPTO BISMOL" lol. But Garlic Pesto, lmao, man, stay away from people with that breath 🧄 lol.
Gym motivation: not being in pain, being able to do things you couldn't before, freedom to do things without worrying about if your muscles can handle it
I was feeling sad today, nothing seemed to go well. And when I finally got back home and watched this video, it really made my day. Doctor Mike never fails to make me happy. Thank you so much for uploading these hilarious videos.
0:40 That’s called a Butter Bell, and while in theory it makes sense, in practice it doesn’t work very well. Basically you pack butter into the bell, which suspends upside down fitted into a small crock/ramekin which has a small amount of salted water. The salt water should keep anything from growing, and being airtight/light tight it should keep the butter from oxidizing, etc. But you have to pack the butter in just right, and very often the butter can fall out if it’s warm enough and you end up with butter sitting in the water which is no good. You’re also supposed to replace the water somewhat frequently. It’s a big hassle and honestly doesn’t work all that well.
5:21 they are not useless. Many people (about 80%) just dont do them properly, maybe because they didnt really tried at their first heath course. YES I MEAN YOU! BETTER BOOK ANOTHER ONE AND DO IT PROPERLY.
The first time I found this RUclips account was the “DRAMATIC Lifeguard Rescues” video. I was so impressed of how much knowledge you have of being a doctor. So thank you for putting yourself into my life
I never managed to pass pills with water (my tongue always goes back when I drink), but discovered it works fine with a good chunk of soft food, and in the rare cases I bite on a pill, it still masks the taste.
@@franck3279 Woah! :o I had a corrective jaw surgery some years back & it actually resulted in my "pipe" widening too, making swallowing easier 😅 I used to eat very slowly & didn't like certain foods as they just... felt uncomfortable, & even the tiniest of pills had to be cut in half.... Now tho I sometimes almost accidentally choke on food or water because the access route for them is wider lol
7:28 I feel guilty now because I like(sometimes) to put my sweaty hands full of bacteria in my water glass and then drinking it after playing with the water after a while.
9:30 They actually didn't do anything to them in the past because I've seen some people talk about these before (not doctors) But when getting surgery you actually have to stay awake while you're strapped down and gagged on the operating table
My little hart was like “you gotta be kidding me” when he tried to get the pare joke.i was in the background saying “you’ll get it the next next time”.😂
2:15 The amount varies, but every doctor's office I've visited as an adult has been festooned with pharma swag. The family practice I went to in the mid-2000s had the usual clipboards and pens with cholesterol drug logos, but also the anatomical models in the exam rooms were branded, and the doctor did in fact have a drug company logo on his lab coat and another on his stethoscope.
4:16 I saw a tumblr post about a kid who took Nyquil before school cause he was feeling a little sick (WAY before COVID times), but he was falling asleep on the drive to school. So his brother's friend gave him a Redbull to wake him up, and next thing he knew, it was the end of the school day
9:31 before the first anaesthesia (ether i think), doctors would usually do one of three things: get you drunk, get you high on morphine or opium, or give you nothing, often choosing the latter. Most of the time, surgeries were done with the patient screaming in agony, and were done as quickly as possible as to minimize suffering. Famously, Robert Listen was the “fastest knife in the west end” and could preform a surgery in less than a minute.
@@icarusbinns3156 he did, according to the stories. he was preforming a surgery in which he moved so fast, he cut off some of his assistant’s fingers and slashed the coat of another doctor (or in some versions, castrated him). the doctor died of shock on the spot and the assistant and patient died of infection, gangrene if i remember correctly. Victorian medicine was wild lol
1:51 This image is a humorous twist on the classic fairy tale of Snow White. In the original story, Snow White is revived from a deep sleep with a kiss from the prince. However, the meme alters this narrative in a modern, satirical way. The humor in this meme comes from the juxtaposition of old-fashioned fairy tale magic with contemporary medical practices, suggesting that instead of a magical kiss, modern medical equipment is what "saves" her. This plays on the absurdity of mixing fantasy with the reality of modern healthcare. Thanks to chatgpt for explaining the meme
I hate to be that person, but Disney’s Snow White (if you mean that as the original one) is based on the Brothers Grimm version. In their story, Snow White’s coffin is being carried, and one of the men carrying it trips. Because of that, the coffin moves in a way that makes a piece of the poisoned apple dislodge from her throat so she wakes up. Many of Walt’s animations are based on Brothers Grimm stories, and they are quite brutal.
9:32 I believe they either did give people alcohol because alcohol helps to relax people and causes you to feel less pain, or they would just straight up operate while you were fully consious and aware. And they would do it in front of doctors in training in like a mini auditorium. That was how doctors learned back in the day.
3:25 this is why I first put water in my mouth, then pill, then swallow :) Started doing this when someone said there was a chance of getting an infection or something if I kept the med on tongue first? Dunno if that's true though.
Before anesthesia, doctors had barber-shop quartets (doctors were known as Barbers back then). They were hired to drown out the screams of their patients. I think they also used ether/chlorophorm, but it took awhile to work unlike how it's shown in TV or movies.
Ether and chloroform are anesthetics. They are the the first anesthetics. Barbershop quartets were never a part on the medical practice. Their roots are in the South beginning in the LATE 1800's in African American culture.
I mean, there are supervillains who also had their own penthouse with a view (And for some reason its almost always one sporting a very distinct accent)

Or if you're like me and you actually start choking on said pill and then get the adrenaline shakes afterwards. Happened too many times.
That is the reason why i keep the pill squeezed between the dry parts of my lips until the second i have some fluid to swallow it with

My psychology teacher said, that there is a such a thing called postnatal amnesia. So usually, women forget about the pain of the birth, as a protection mechanism of the body

Your health/fitness tips have been a HUGE inspiration and motivation for me. I'm currently down 110lbs from consistent proper nutrition/exercise and have been completely alcohol and smoke free for a year!
Thank you for your content :)
8:52 “lemon on a pear” livin on a prayer
Mike not getting the joke is a thousand times funnier that the joke itself
9:30 they used to give a peice of leather to bite down on for the pain called a bit, some "doctors" also used musket balls
As a temp I worked packaging diabetic test strips. There were problems with some of the strips activating prematurely. I pointed out that the gloves they issued were dusted with corn starch (amylose) quite close chemically to sucrose. "What do you know, you idiot temp?" I had been teaching chemistry before I moved to their neighborhood.
Ug. I remember when my brother went through his Axe phase. Our whole second floor would REEK after he was done, and the bathroom was an impenetrable fortress of teenage man-musk. Sitting in a car with him was just as bad. Glad he’s outgrown it.
My last three years in High School was the absolute worst for the Axe craze. Seemed like every week , you could pretty much guarantee that you were gonna be choked out by that smell (and annoyingly, it was always the exact same scent). There was even hot spots that included the Restroom, the Cafeteria (because I love having my lunch tainted by the smell of desperate teen in a can), the Auditorium (Almost always around the entrance AND exits so you can be suffocated before AND after the assembly) and of course the Gym locker (You do NOT want to know what fresh-from-a-workout sweat AND AXE combined in such a tight space smells like).
Funny thing is now every once in a while, I'll either be brought something from Axe by my family or get some sample pack that includes a small can. Thankfully, NONE of them are that scent so they are far more bearable but I don't imagine I'll be any closer to the "chick magnet" the ads promised then I am just being nervous anxious me (that and contextually speaking, "30+ year old man wearing axe" somehow sounds worse then desperate teen boys wearing it)
On the last day of eighth grade all the kids flooded the hallways to sign each other's yearbooks, and at some point someone set off an Axe bomb or something in one of the hallways and it was *awful.* Everyone evacuated that hallway. I don't even know how it happened.
Might as well do as we from tropical countries and just use cologne instead
When me and my brother were in high school he liked getting up early and I always waited till the very last minute. We shared a bathroom which meant I was always stuck walking into his toxic Axe cloud in the morning, it was awful.
My SIL used sooooo much hairspray, my nostrils would stick together 😆
5:57 dude I’m impressed that you actually knew that that’s an F16.
Huge plus points in my book.
he’s flown in one a couple days ago :)
@@some_youtuber oh wow thats sick! Even more plus points ^^
My god is Dr. Mike going to be the KING of cringe dad jokes when he has a kid...I mean he's practically there, and I love him for it😂😂😂
he's not gay? ...oh right, he can still "have" a kid.
Doctor Mike. I haven't watched anything from your channel for at least one year. It's soo amazing and inspiring to see how your channel has grown. You've taught me the importance of doing chest compressions whilst 911 is on their way...
Watching this video has taught me a lot as I'm trying to quit myself of a mix of cocaine and alcohol habit and your five seconds of talking about the toxicity of cocaine and alcohol together on tbe body has taught me something...
Thank you sir. Not to mention how f*ckin expensive a habit like this is.
Remember folks, stay happy and healthy 🙃
3:18
This is why I've learned to take pills without water
A round of applause for Doctor Mike getting "skeleton on a peloton" first try 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
7:43 "This is fresh." Nope! Actually, there was a recent rudimentary test done on a few people who cleaned their water bottles and they found unacceptably high levels of bacteria in those bottles according to the lab they sent the bottles to get analyzed. The worst offenders were the least cleanable bottles. My general rule of thumb was already that if you can't get your whole hand into the bottle to clean it thoroughly, then you can't get the bottle clean at all. That test only confirmed what I already knew to be true: Water bottles are havens for germs.
as long as you aren't buying packs of plastic water bottles...
I saw the thumbnail and was like, "Get this Pesto Bismol in my life now. NOW."
Edit: Not to be that person but I'm gonna be that person. THANK U FOR THE LIKES
It has me curious if savory flavored medicine would be good or terrible. Like imagine BBQ flavored cough syrup, that sounds like it could be atrocious or actually surprisingly better.
I got the chipotle and children meme myself but I totally agree
Seeing the thumbnail so quickly the green made me think of the green Tabasco sauce 😅 and I was like "If that's true IT DEFIES THE PURPOSE OF PEPTO BISMOL" lol. But Garlic Pesto, lmao, man, stay away from people with that breath 🧄 lol.
Apparently he changed the thumbnail. Sad
@@BirdsandHelicoptershehe Ah? Mine's the same 🤷♀️
Gym motivation: not being in pain, being able to do things you couldn't before, freedom to do things without worrying about if your muscles can handle it
You seem to be a good doctor of joy, that's wonderful and you heal us without medicine with your joy.😂
3:47 A Bear-pup and Ribasaurusrex sighting!
I was feeling sad today, nothing seemed to go well. And when I finally got back home and watched this video, it really made my day. Doctor Mike never fails to make me happy. Thank you so much for uploading these hilarious videos.
It took me a while to figure the lemon on a pear meme too 🤣🤣 Sam helped us! He has a great voice! 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
Same for me as well when i first saw it I honestly thought it was a woohoo joke lol!🤣🤣🤣
@@andihomelife-homestead 🤣🤣🤣🤣❤️
0:40 That’s called a Butter Bell, and while in theory it makes sense, in practice it doesn’t work very well. Basically you pack butter into the bell, which suspends upside down fitted into a small crock/ramekin which has a small amount of salted water. The salt water should keep anything from growing, and being airtight/light tight it should keep the butter from oxidizing, etc. But you have to pack the butter in just right, and very often the butter can fall out if it’s warm enough and you end up with butter sitting in the water which is no good. You’re also supposed to replace the water somewhat frequently. It’s a big hassle and honestly doesn’t work all that well.
At least once a week I have a full on panic attack over my upcoming surgeries. These meme videos definitely help take the edge off!
"Liver on a pear" would be closer to "Living on a prayer" than "Lemon on a pear" in my opinion.
That image would so be a lot, lot, lot more gross .
Yes but good luck getting a liver onto a pear to take a picture of without being arrested in the process
@@nonsense618 you, you do know you can buy like, beef liver right?
@@SpiderRiderKya ok that's fair
SQUIDWARD ON A CHAIR!!
Sorry, had to get that out.
5:21 they are not useless. Many people (about 80%) just dont do them properly, maybe because they didnt really tried at their first heath course. YES I MEAN YOU! BETTER BOOK ANOTHER ONE AND DO IT PROPERLY.
Sometimes I forget that Dr. Mike's first language isn't english, then I watch these meme videos 😂
The first time I found this RUclips account was the “DRAMATIC Lifeguard Rescues” video. I was so impressed of how much knowledge you have of being a doctor. So thank you for putting yourself into my life
I stopped this at 1:27 to comment this. I've been a chef for almost 20 years, unpowdered vinyl gloves are hated by us all
3:50 he is ADORABLE 😭❤️.
Bear is adorable too
The worst is trying to swallow a pill & it gets stuck at the back of the throat 😩😂
No, the worst is when Benadryl starts dissolving on your tongue... your whole tongue goes numb 😅
I never managed to pass pills with water (my tongue always goes back when I drink), but discovered it works fine with a good chunk of soft food, and in the rare cases I bite on a pill, it still masks the taste.
@@franck3279 Woah! :o I had a corrective jaw surgery some years back & it actually resulted in my "pipe" widening too, making swallowing easier 😅 I used to eat very slowly & didn't like certain foods as they just... felt uncomfortable, & even the tiniest of pills had to be cut in half.... Now tho I sometimes almost accidentally choke on food or water because the access route for them is wider lol
For me, it's when the pill gets stuck under my tongue and starts to dissolve. Then the water can't even get it out.
And if you have a brain like mine, it goes into panic mode and thinks you're choking. 😂
9:15 wooo-oh we’re half way there lemon on a pear(living on a prayer 🙏)
7:28 I feel guilty now because I like(sometimes) to put my sweaty hands full of bacteria in my water glass and then drinking it after playing with the water after a while.
9:30 They actually didn't do anything to them in the past because I've seen some people talk about these before (not doctors) But when getting surgery you actually have to stay awake while you're strapped down and gagged on the operating table
6:15 I’m so editing this photo onto an axe bottle 😭😭😭😭 love you dr Mike
9:53 nothing is worse than a capsule getting stuck in your throat and puffing out dust when you finally get something to wash it down.
7:38 Dust lands in it, and the dust can go bad when it gets wet, if not before.
My little hart was like “you gotta be kidding me” when he tried to get the pare joke.i was in the background saying “you’ll get it the next next time”.😂
I’m from the UK and the Liberty jingle still lives rent free in my head after hearing it a few times while on holiday in New York.
I can tell that the editors were having fun with this lighthearted video
Doctor Mike got skeleton on a Peloton really fast 🤗 I love the reactions on these videos & the editor is the best!
2:15 The amount varies, but every doctor's office I've visited as an adult has been festooned with pharma swag. The family practice I went to in the mid-2000s had the usual clipboards and pens with cholesterol drug logos, but also the anatomical models in the exam rooms were branded, and the doctor did in fact have a drug company logo on his lab coat and another on his stethoscope.
8:11 the expression of pain and frustration of a man who knows it's already been too long before he got the joke
4:16 I saw a tumblr post about a kid who took Nyquil before school cause he was feeling a little sick (WAY before COVID times), but he was falling asleep on the drive to school. So his brother's friend gave him a Redbull to wake him up, and next thing he knew, it was the end of the school day
4:50 Pesto Bismol with Garlic
If you look on the back down at the bottom it say also keeps vampires away
Dr Mike I had a doubt, How much Uranium is okay to eat per week?
About 648392829 pounds a second
It's okay to eat as much as you want. It's just not okay to expect to live after eating uranium like that
You can eat uranium, there’s just consequences
How long would you like to continue living?
I heard if you eat it once you’ll never be hungry again
9:31 before the first anaesthesia (ether i think), doctors would usually do one of three things: get you drunk, get you high on morphine or opium, or give you nothing, often choosing the latter. Most of the time, surgeries were done with the patient screaming in agony, and were done as quickly as possible as to minimize suffering. Famously, Robert Listen was the “fastest knife in the west end” and could preform a surgery in less than a minute.
Didn’t he have an amputation with a 300% fatality rating?
@@icarusbinns3156 he did, according to the stories. he was preforming a surgery in which he moved so fast, he cut off some of his assistant’s fingers and slashed the coat of another doctor (or in some versions, castrated him). the doctor died of shock on the spot and the assistant and patient died of infection, gangrene if i remember correctly. Victorian medicine was wild lol
@@elistillexists6287 I heard it was just a bystander, so shocked at the spectacle that he suffered a heart attack!
@@icarusbinns3156 I haven’t heard that version! I’m sure that’s possible too
@@elistillexists6287 Victorian medical stories are crazy, aren’t they?
2:33 sometimes an X-ray of the lungs can show glitter from shirts, so that’s why we don’t take glittery shirts to the hospital 😭
2:02 the way that when he smiled I just stood up and left
IT WASNT ON PURPOSE
I didn’t even realize it till I sat back down
3:21 I FORGOT THAT AMERICANS USE FAHRENHEIT! FOR A SECOND I LEGIT THOUGHT THAT MY MOUTH WAS AT BOILING TEMPERATURE ALL THE TIME
1:51 This image is a humorous twist on the classic fairy tale of Snow White. In the original story, Snow White is revived from a deep sleep with a kiss from the prince. However, the meme alters this narrative in a modern, satirical way.
The humor in this meme comes from the juxtaposition of old-fashioned fairy tale magic with contemporary medical practices, suggesting that instead of a magical kiss, modern medical equipment is what "saves" her. This plays on the absurdity of mixing fantasy with the reality of modern healthcare. Thanks to chatgpt for explaining the meme
I hate to be that person, but Disney’s Snow White (if you mean that as the original one) is based on the Brothers Grimm version.
In their story, Snow White’s coffin is being carried, and one of the men carrying it trips. Because of that, the coffin moves in a way that makes a piece of the poisoned apple dislodge from her throat so she wakes up.
Many of Walt’s animations are based on Brothers Grimm stories, and they are quite brutal.
Quit being foolish by explaining jokes.
I've often wondered if the "magic kiss" was actually mouth-to-mouth resuscitation. Which means the "prince" was actually a trained medic.
The way he struggled over "lemon on a pear" had my dying 😂😂
me too, and was already dying at the pesto-bismol😂
I didn't get it
9:32
I believe they either did give people alcohol because alcohol helps to relax people and causes you to feel less pain, or they would just straight up operate while you were fully consious and aware. And they would do it in front of doctors in training in like a mini auditorium. That was how doctors learned back in the day.
3:25 this is why I first put water in my mouth, then pill, then swallow :)
Started doing this when someone said there was a chance of getting an infection or something if I kept the med on tongue first? Dunno if that's true though.
You got to love doctor Mike, he’s so funny with his responses 🤣
Before anesthesia, doctors had barber-shop quartets (doctors were known as Barbers back then). They were hired to drown out the screams of their patients. I think they also used ether/chlorophorm, but it took awhile to work unlike how it's shown in TV or movies.
Ether and chloroform are anesthetics. They are the the first anesthetics. Barbershop quartets were never a part on the medical practice. Their roots are in the South beginning in the LATE 1800's in African American culture.
That smile😭 2:01
I DIDNT NOTICE 😭
The way i just got shocked🤣
4:30 had me sitting up and taking notes like I was in a lecture
Doctor Mike's editor is the best person, ever! His edits are hilarious!
6:45 the motivation comes after the action. you have said it before!
A problem I have with water bottles. Some are so heavy you never know when they are empty.
Shake em
If they slosh, there's water
If butter is a supervillain food, crisco must be the final boss
lard
Margarine.
I mean, there are supervillains who also had their own penthouse with a view (And for some reason its almost always one sporting a very distinct accent)
3:03 life hack put the pill between your teeth untill you are 100% sure you have water ready to go
You go Mike! Even though working out is hard, push through the pain! You can do it!
9:25 got me ctfu mike 😂 thank you sm we missed these
6:42 Doctor Mike go to the GYM the medical world, RUclips, bear & rib, me, and the whole world need you. So yeah just go there
Be happy Dr Mike you deserve all the happiness in the world ✨✨ I know it’s hard sometimes but we you’ll figure it out like you always do.
9:35 They did indeed get people drunk lol
6:26 I had a similar experience where my bright self thought that it would be a great idea to use a spray paint on a candle. We were near a tree
