Mirror-touch synesthesia: A doctor who can feel his patient’s pain
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 4 авг 2024
- What if a doctor could physically feel the pain their patients were experiencing? Dr. Joel Salinas, a neurologist and clinical researcher at Massachusetts General Hospital, can do just that. He has a neurological trait called mirror-touch, a medical mystery that causes him to feel the emotional and physical experiences of other people.

I had to search this up after seeing it on Chicago Med like woahh
Same
Same
Same 🥰
Yeah
Same!
That awkward moment when you're sat next to this guy in the theater during a sex scene.

"Don't worry, I have a boner too"
oh, that actually really sucks, not that fun
Must be fun for the Dr. to watch porn.
Lol
I wonder what happens if you watched porn with miror touch synesthesia.
I've wondered this too lmao
SemiAuto Thanos Car I felt like I needed to go to confession, b/c that was my first/instinctual thought!
Anaïs H They also feel emotions so technically speaking....
Anaïs H not just pain
You feel the woman as well + your own horniness, so you have a double pleasure or let's say very intense deep pleasure...
I think a lot of people are just getting confused and that's why they think it's fake Mirror-touch synesthesia is a rare condition which causes individuals to experience the same sensation (such as touch) that another person feels. For example, if someone with this condition were to observe someone touching their cheek, they would feel the same sensation on their own cheek. It has to be observed I don't think he made it that clear but if the patient has a headache for example but doesn't show any signs of having one he will not get a headache but if the patient then shows signs of having a headache by maybe holding his head or saying he's got a headache that's when the doctor feels it. It is a real condition and it's involuntary if he sees someone in pain he will always feel their pain no matter what but if he doesn't see then in pain he won't feel pain
Buzzin Boi Thank you so much for the description because I have Mirror touch but It only “works” when I could see what happened so thank you for helping me realize this 😊.
@@queen_gucci oh wow it must be cool having mirror touch? Does it work with animals for you or only humans?
Thank you for a real explanation. The one I got before this was some woman who thinks she doesn't just feel what others appear to be feeling, but feels what they don't show AND can heal them by taking the pain into herself. You know, magic.
He is meant to be a doctor. I wish more doctors had this " anomaly ". Too many doctors now are dismissive to their patients, many times wrongfully diagnose and prescribe wrong medication. Similar to him, my daughter "sees" sound.
Thats not the same at all if your daughter sees sound she has become a bat good for her and him felling there pain dosent mean he knows whats happening to them
If more doctors had this, more people would die. Imagine having to treat a severed limb or a gun shot wound in the ER and having this condition...
@@hephaestus9901 , itsMelon- Read the title. The condition is called SYNESTHESIA. quite a number of musicians, painters, mathematicians, physicists, scientists have it & it shows in their work. It comes in a spectrum as well, some have combined senses & others are mild. We can imagine, but never fully experience nor comprehend what it actually is. We aren't born with it. Perhaps people like us who will never experience it would never know the advantages & disadvantages of having these abilities. Same as the handicapped/ physically impaired. We think we know how they experience the world through imagination, but if we are normal, we never will truly know.
@@l.j.a.3361 you know that mirror touch is the brain imagining what other person fells based of visual clues its not based on knowing why they have it lol
@@l.j.a.3361 i know about many forms of snyestheisa and the one's medicialy confirmed but i dont understand how would scientist benefit from it please tell me
I would watch massage videos all day long
Yes, it works 100%. Massage videos make you feel very relaxed and you literally feel tingling in your own muscles.
yep! as someone with touch-synesthesia it’s one of the nicest things ever
I need mirror touch I'm in so much pain since my three open heart surgeries and covid almost buried me twice. Nothing stops the pain every minute of the day I'm in pain and this has been going on for 6 years..... I'm tired I need something.
If I had this I would work at a spa or something
What if 2 mirror-touch humans stand in front of each other? Is it like endlesspain then or like harder pain??
😂😂
Yooo I wanna know
also what if some who has mirror-touch is playing dodge ball?
Or endless pleasure
wait, what actually would happen.
I've been diagnosed with Mirror-touch Synesthesia as well as Grapheme-colour (numbers & letters have colours for me), Ordinal Linguistic Personification (numbers and letters have genders and personalities),Chromesthesia (basically, I see colours when I hear your voice or any sounds), Spatial Sequence (I see sequences such as days of the week or the 12 months in the space around me, e.g January is right in front of me and February is next to my left ear) and Auditory Tactile (I feel and have tensions, tingles, physically when I hear sounds also). I won't go into details with my types of Synesthesias but for Mirror touch, it's a bitter-sweet experience. I, personally and weirdly, love getting injections because the feeling of the thin needle piercing through your skin and suddenly feeling as though it's become 10x thicker is absolutely satisfying. However, as much as I love vaccination day in school, it starts to get pretty painfully numb if I see other people getting the injection in the same spot of my opposite arm, over and over again as they wait in line. So I try to not look around at others getting it after I'm done with mine...but I can resist everything but temptations.
For me i think numbers and letters have genders...
Months have colors for me and i associate numbers and letters with colors
U are amazing.
So, u must have heard it a lot of time like u are faking it...ik it coz i saw my former neighbour's kid going through the same..
You sure it's not schizophrenia?
Black mirror.... it's coming true
I saw that episode too man.
@@newgoliard6059 which episode?
Correction: Black Mirror is based on reality.
What happens if two people with mirror touch mirror each other? Like is it just an infinite loop of mirroring?😂
If this is true he should stay away from patients when they see their ER bill
No
He can't literally feel it.
He can feel the echo of the pain.
I have the same thing and I know what I'm taking about.
And there are a lot people like him, like me.
It's like imagining familiar music in your head.
But unlike this mirror touch synesthesia is incredibly hard to take control over.
Brain is a weirdest thing
This is such an important and wonderful gift , specially for a medical professional as doctors or nurses that can literally feel their patient's pain
Could he feel period pain? Because he doesn’t have ovaries or uterus 🤷🏼♀️
Ask him
Ughhhh
It’s seems like it’s possible! But idk for sure lmao
I have mirror touch. Thank God I found this video.. I had no clue what I was going thru. I live with people with every ailment you can think of. I feel what they are going thru. I need to move.
Is that the reason that one guy was moaning during the one “scene” in the movies?
What if there was two people with this is it a infinite pain
I have what's called a V/K Synesthesia... I feel what others feel... I feel what I see...
I do a lot of different modalities in therapy from Hypnosis to NLP, Timeline therapy etc.
And this ability helps me to understand what people are going through and how to help them!
He should touch Bill Cosby.
I think Bill has touched enough people.
Alan Scott .. not as many as (Uncle) Joe Biden 😉
Nacho Fool I don't get it...
What would it be called if you could feel the pain of others in your own body when it was described to you just with words? (And wasn't visual) Anyone know?
I wonder if this doctor can feel what i feel since my feelings isn't showing and I'm not sure how to open up like I'm blocking my own feelings with bored aura.
Why does this sounds so much familiar..??
.

Oh..God,😳
I have kinsthetic synesthesia and one of my types is mirror touch.
I was NOT expecting that intro xD
how to cure it
I experienced this around 2005, (and was so (Amazingly Amazed) "I wrote a detailed article about what I experienced,
"Apparently I was thinking, (in an OCD, (and/or "Mirror Touch Senistia fashion", (and lately, thinking another name for this is, "Clair Sentience" (or 1 of them), (of all things as "Being struck by a car, in the road I was by", "and literally felt, (in an emotionally charged way, not excruciating pain way), "exactly how it would be if I really was struck by a car", (minus all the pain of course)
What if two people that has this mirror thingy and those two will physically hurt themselves. Will it be an endless pain? Hmmm.
Mirror touch is very complex because I went to the hospital where I was overwhelmed by everybody's pains than my brain was like on a emotional rollercoaster and I almost collapsed so I went outside
The power/nature of humanity are waiting to be discovered
It is helpful for patients but I am sure it's not easy for him to feel same pain everytime he got patient
sometimes all you have to do is think about someone getting touched and you get the sensation of touch. sometimes i’ll be watching a movie, for example that one scene in the live action alice in wonderland where the tweedles are being captured by the jabberwock and they hit the trees, i feel that.
Fox has a good format presenting different issues, including health. "Mirror Touch" may be compared to the ancient arts of "transference" of touch or auras of body heat transfer. In the past, this has been known as the Super Sensitive Person. Once a nerve path has been opened in the brain, a signal is constant when "triggered".
What if someone gets shot
imagine if he's a surgeon
Last time I saw this it ended with a homeless guy taking a power drill to the skull
Sounds like the old Star Trek episode "The Empath."
AlfredoBodega empaths are something different but they also exist
Ok so what if the person isn't with you at all yet i can still feel what this person is feeling??
Can you be more specific with what you mean?
I have this condition I am 100% sure. I'm always having things happen to me but everytime I go to the doctor and tell me there's nothing wrong. I feel like the doctors think I'm crazy but I feel all these symptoms and it's like I can't get them to believe me. When it's probably just the people around me that I'm feeling their issues with health problems
I can relate i have synesthesia as well. I completely understand him, that's why I avoid so many things, because i feel it on my own body.
It's hard
mirror touch is only a part of a mode. you must have other modes as well.
I only have mirror-pain synesthesia. I don't feel just any sensation of touch. Only pain, and usually only harsh uncontrolled pain. I don't feel other people's headaches, and I can watch minor surgeries, or cartoons like Looney Toons without feeling anything, but not violent movies or videos of actual injuries. If I can anticipate the pain/injury, it's sometimes not as bad, but it's impossible to avoid completely.
However, it's not just when I see the pain/injury. It also happens if I hear about it, or if I just happen to imagine it.
Having this condition has definitely been a burden for me. It makes it difficult to watch certain movies/shows, or violent sports, or even just to hear people's experiences, but I guess it does make me more empathetic to other people's pain.
It would be nice if I could also feel just nornal touch sensations like massage. Being on guard all the time sure causes a lot of muscle tension. I could really go for a mirror touch massage. 😆
Felt that clip on the gut.. not as specific. I feel severe pain in my whole lower body and mild things ... Strong anxiety in the gut building up the to the event.
I found out I had it from this girl from TikTok :/
A doctor touch synesthesia is actually pretty good cuz the doctor can know what wrong is with the patient
Green Marsian story from the Justice league
Imaging having this and seeing someone get kicked in the crotch 💀
I have mirror touch synesthesia
•adreana • woah cool is it easy to cope with
Thats crazy, Hope things go well.
Me too, but its not like his. I only feel tingling and sometimes cramps (sometimes aching)wherever someone is hurt.
My mom has this.
It is not a mystery and it is not odd at all, as a massage therapist I tune into my clients in this way to help them. As a painful area eases, I know what to focus on next. It is part of the human electromagnetic field, we all have a field and a shift in awareness allows it to be felt. It is not strange, perverted or invasive it is a gift as a healer you can achieve with healing awareness. It is about time doctors become aware of this natural sense and actually help their patients. It is a gift of service to others and should be applauded.
Mistress JHolly Yep. The massage therapist I see can find the painfil areas without me saying a word or physically reacting.
The normal ones will not understand. Lol. They are blind and disconnected
Patterson CURSE
🤗
Mistress JHolly i think you've mixed this up this isn't something like a skill this is just a mental thing he was born with involuntary but it just so happens that it is useful for his job
I wish I could be a doctor who could take one look at the patient and just KNOW what is hurting them without them even uttering a word.
He looks like Nathan Fielder
Seems more like over active mirror neurons tha n synesthesia.
agreed 100%
CAN I HAVE HIM AS MY DOCTOR PLEASE?
ARMY STAY BESTFRIEND UNICORN ATINY THEB no
When the doctor was watching porn what did he feel ? The womens perspective or the mans perspective
I mean it's in April
He is Cuban but his faint accent sounds Brazilian
The first steps to becoming a Vulcan, the forerunner of a mind meld. "My mind to your mind, my thoughts to your thoughts," our thoughts are one,... Ouch!... Wtf, I feel Pain, much Pain.
Isn’t Bill Cosby guilty of the same thing 🤔
Let's not let him watch creed
doctor : *dies in roblox*
oof
The interviewer needs to be a little bit better
Fox News is starting to become more like CNN every day.
How?
So basically hypochondriacs are just sinesthetic w/ sight (or memory) & touch
came here from tik tok
ANGEL UNAWARE ~😉
Oh god imagine school nurses Feeling what we feel... They would be CEO of;GO BACK TO CLASS
IT'S BLACKMIRROR ALL OVER AGAIN
I would set up a fake bottle prop and get someone to smash me on the head then watch him.
*Reads title*
Lol k
VR Mortal Kombat
What if I stabbed my heart in front of you?
Thats dark...
Quackery
Can you get killed from this
Everybody can feel this, it is a question of to be aware of it. Nothing special. But good for his patients
Lulu Lala no, no that's not true at all if you feel this then you have the same condition as he does not everyone has synthesia there are lots of different types of synthesia like seeing sound and such, this is one of those and only a few people have it
Bullshit or not, if this makes him a better doctor and connect with his patients' cases better, then who the hell is anyone to judge? As long as he's a good doctor nobody should vilify him. I'll take him over the douchebags who salivate at the thought of prescribing me something they have no idea will help and just want money for each stupid treatment suggestion.
If he had Mirror Skepticism, then he’d know how fake ppl think he is. 🤨
vwr32jeep ya know he has to see ya and he can’t see ya
fake new lol
ok you are a moron it is a verry real thing just rare i know it real cause a friend of mine actualy has it so dont be a benign twat and do some research
@@DaniSpectrum i know its real... i watched a documentary on it too after i saw this episode chill out....
Imagination. That's all folks!
It's not imagination, it's involuntary association between sensory inputs on a biological level we can observe. Close-minded, arrogant moron.
I dunno sounds pretty extreme. Maybe he just has a vibrant imagination I would need to see some brain scans to prove this notion.
Well there are plenty of papers proving it
boolsheet.
Ahahah.... Your spelling though.....ahahah
topaz pitt its real look it up
Yep I can levitate under my own POWER. Fly & walk on WATER
Sounds like the doctor needs a doctor of his own. Sounds like he has problems with handling negative energy.
Its not some "negative energy" its science
Bullshit.
It's well documented and provable, just rare.
BS! BS! BS! BS! BS! You might want to stay away from this doc! A thought, wonder how many pain meds he gives out?
Well you shuold probably go to the wikipedia page as a start
@@hephaestus9901 and you 're a scam just like this doctor, i see you commenting to whoever disagrees, go get a life. If there were scientific papers and wikipedia pages that says ghosts are real and there are millions walking among us but we just cant seem them, would you believe it? No, ive talked to many, many doctors, and they said this a fake, a scam.
@@mstork9140 except there aren't wikipedia pages and papers proving ghosts are real,and to what doctors did you talk to because all doctors in my country didnt even know my syndrome existed not even ones in austria only a doctor in germany knew how to treat it
@@mstork9140 it took me 1 minute to post those answers like thanos would say "small price to pay for salvation"
@@hephaestus9901 im saying hypothetically, jesus...and ive talked to doctors either when i had to have surgery and discuss some problems im having. Now one of them said they have never even heard of it and it sounds baloney but the other two have read upon it a while back and they dont think its real. They never had a patient with this so they cant just agree, especially since this sounds crazy and you rly shouldnt listen to the media. Media is full of bs, they will say anything.
Weirdo!!!!!
I FEEL HE NEEDS AN EXORCISM !!! THAT'S ALL ABOUT IT FOLKS !!!
This dude is psychotic and should be comitted!
No hes not just because you cannot understand it dosent mean its not real
rick johnson love this comment
