There are pictures on the internet about him, he was leonid rogozov. He basically was the only doctor in an antarcic expedition, in the sixties, and while there he realized he had peritonitis and the only way he had a chance to survive was to operate himself, if i remember correctly there was someone who gave him alcohol and adjusted mirrors for him so he could perform the surgery. It worked and he survived :)
Why places like hospitals and bathrooms are extra echoey: The material they make the floors, walls and ceilings out of are less porous so that they don't absorb stuff like blood or trap germs as well. Porous things would absorb some of the sound, but since the material has little to no pores the sound waves bounce off and are louder and echo more than if some had been absorbed.
Oh Crop in every country except the US you don’t have to. Universal healthcare is everywhere but the US. I only pay for my birth control which is like $5 every month because I get the brand name one instead of generic. That’s it.

And also, at least in my hospital, they moved away from double-occupancy rooms to private rooms. So the hospital was built with the intention of having two patients per room, and obviously the rooms are sized accordingly. Once they made it so everyone had their own room, that meant half the room was 100% empty.

Many years ago, I was dating a doctor. One night, at a restaurant, she told me a story about treating a man who had been cleaning an industrial meat-grinder from inside it when it got turned on by accident. The patient was missing his lower half. Partway through her story she asked me if we could change seats. I said "sure" but I asked her why. She said her seat was facing the lobster tank and the sight of live lobsters was freaking her out.

Actually... he never said punching pillows is “healthy relief” >> he said that one of his patients said that’s how they deal with their stress, and he said he deals with his own by punching a boxing bag... “to each, their own” >> meaning whatever works for you-helps you calm down and destress-you should do that! And personally, I strongly agree with that... the only thing I can think of that would be unfair or unjust, would be hurting yourself or causing anyone else pain while you are stressed about something going on in your own life.
Poop jokes works well when your family is a bunch of different kind of doctors, and nurses. Our top subjects when my mom leaves the room, is jokes about shit, teeths, blood and how many people you met a day who breaks the hip by doing almost nothing.
Probably because the doctors you actually visit just wants things to move as easily and quickly as possible. Dr. Mike doesn't actually have to move you along, so he gains nothing from your ignorance.
As a person who use to work as registration in a hospital, we had patients sign two forms yearly. The consent to treat (this usually included a statement that stated doctors had the right to treat every time you came in and that you have rights and responsibilities that are fully listed on hospitals website) and the HIPPA form (privacy rules etc). Our hospital found that because most people threw out their forms that it was a waste of money to print both forms out all the time (total of 5-7 pages each form) . Of course you still had an opportunity to read it we had it readily available on desks and were required to verbally show and ask whether you wanted a copy or to read it. Most people said no. The only time we emphasized that you have rights , at least in the area I worked, was when a patient needed surgery. Then they would sign a extra consent to treat and we would tell the, about guest relations. Patient rights and responsibilities in summary says that doctors will make every effort to give the patient clear instructions and plans and will also respects their patients ultimate decision. While fully complying with hospital rules. Patients have the right to express their concerns ask for clarification and accept or reject drs evaluations. It’s also state that you are responsible for paying bills and giving correct information to the doctor. While fully complying with hospital rules. In general most people know this.
Not a doc (radtech), but if a sense that a patient is feeling pressured (because they're scared of the scan, outcome, overwhelmed or anything) always tell them that they're always free to say no. I do advise them and inform them of the benefits, but just the act of telling them they're in charge is usually enough to earn their trust. One of the easiest pitfalls is assuming patients agree with you. Assuming patients know what you want to do.
@@kpratt6685 I went to the Dr with my mom until I was 18 because I wanted her there. took a few times of going alone before I got over the awkwardness of "what's your sex life like/when was your last period?"
It takes no effort to be happy. Just decide to be happy. It's like I tell my daughter about luck....everything is 50/50. You either win or you don't. That's life. So you can be happy or you can be sad. It's your choice. But being happy is way more fun.
*Dr. Mike:* There was actually this story of a guy performing surgery of himself in Antarctica- *EVERYONE who has a tumblr:* The appendectomy, yes, we are familiar.
24 hours before my colonoscopy, I ate lemon, lime and orange flavored jello. The doctor gave me copies of my beautiful rainbow intestines. We were both amazed. I told him he could frame a copy of he wanted, he really looked like he was considering it!
@@drippeeboye607 A colonoscopy is a medical procedure where a camera attached to a long tube is run through your body. It is not a cleansing. It is a medical procedure that has rare but significant health risks.
Me: so if I'm uncomfortable with something I can refuse? Doctor: yeah, but we'll try to use reason to get you to do it. ~later~ Doctor: you're dying. Me: no. Doctor: what? Me: I refuse. Doctor: that's not... *sighs.*
Someone I know actually fired their dr because they went in because they're depressed and he focused on whether or not he was pre-diabetic. Ignored the issue he came in for completely
Something similar happened to me, it went like this: Me: I am ugly and sad and depressed. Dr: You are fat you need to lose weight. Me: But am too depressed to work out and I wanna die. Dr: Don't care you gotta work out.
@@lonelyscarygirl yeah weight bias is a big problem with mental health diagnoses, yes there is a correlation but then it’s a cycle for many people who end up self medicating with food.

I think I would have been much healthy person now if I had someone like you as my pediatrician. My doctor was the kind that didn’t acknowledge anything that I did. I was like 100 pounds over weight in my teenage years so I wanted to exercise and get in shape. I had been walking home from school and walking my dog for like 2 miles each day. Walking home from school was a little less than 4 miles. I would also do yoga at night to relax myself and my muscles before I went to bed. I had lost a lot of body fat and gain muscle. I only had like 30 pounds left to lose to be in shape but I thought I was doing good. So when I went into my next physical exam I was feeling pretty proud. I told the doctor what I was doing for exercise and he weighed me. He then preceded to tell me I should do even more exercise and that I was still overweight. I think it sort of put me in a depression so I stopped most of my exercising. I still walked my dog, but I no longer cared about getting into shape. I now hate going to the doctors and live by the motto, if I die then I die cause I have such a strong phobia of going to the doctors. I literally have to feel like I’m dying to go anywheres near a doctor and that’s only if someone forces me.
A Russian mission with only one doctor was sent to Antarctica, the doctor got appendicitis and the only way for him to survive was an appendectomy, so he did it himself using a mirror.
That stuff was so salty I gagged every time I had to take a drink. I couldn't even get through it by mixing it in Gatorade or something sweet, so I decided to make Campbell's beef barley soup, strain out all the solids and then mix the broth with the prep. It was like a miracle. It still took me like 3 hours to get through drinking it instead of the recommended 45 minutes, but everything turned out fine.
I’m a medical assistant but I’m pretty obsessed with medicine as a whole. If I wasn’t poor or absolutely terrified of the amount of debt doctors have I might have tried my hand at a pre-med degree. And, I have had many conversations with friends and family around the dinner table about medical issues/procedures. They always remind me that unlike me, they do have a gag reflex. 😂😂😂
Dr Mike, I don't understand one thing. Why are shifts at the hospitals so long and many? Isn't it dangerous for the patient? Seems just crazy but it is like that in all countries I know. How are tired doctors and nurses supposed to not make life threatening mistakes?
One theory is that it’s better for a patient to have minimal shift changes, one doctor or nurse watching over the patient for a long time period even with some fatigue, rather than frequently switching the patient off to a new person who wouldn’t be able to observe subtle changes in the patient that don’t get picked up easily on a chart or computer.
I mean in Slovakia there is even an exception to labor laws that doctors and nurses can have much more overtime etc than normally. But that cannot be due to staff shortages, because there are not many open positions. More than staff shortage here is a problem with financing, but on the other hand paying overtime seems to be less economical than hiring another person... Not something you would make law exceptions for...
I think we’re used to seeing anyone at the doctors office as an authority figure so we just do as they say... I had bulimia, and every doctor visit (and they were monthly) triggered a relapse until I realized I can just do blind weighing or opt out of getting weighed!!
“Look at his little head!” *points to Newfie* if this isn’t the most Newfie Parent thing🤣🤣 people hate when I call my newfie little. Apparently a 165lbs dog can’t be called little 🤷🏽♀️

I was in town on Saturday and there was a couple that had two newfies. My dad called them horses for me (im short, never funny) while I continued to coo at them and call them fluffy doggos in childish voices. The owners were far lovelier to me than my dad. Major floofs. 😊
If I'm honest, I quite often lose focus when watching your meme reviews or tweet reviews. There's something about your voice that makes it calming and I tend to do household chores or paperwork whil listening to your reviews and I love it 😄.
I love how Mike breaks down everything about every single one of these, same in his medical meme reaction videos. Also, I'm down for the Antarctica Appendectomy story.
I was in a psych hospital for an extended period of time and not a single thing on the patient bill of rights was ever respected by the staff, nor was it possible to hold them accountable
It could be any factor. Lack of sex from having 2 kids, stress (not from them) or just getting older. Don’t blame your children. Give them some Benadryl and you won’t be bothered
Lady: my husband just swallowed a Paracetamol by mistake, what shall I do? Doctor: give him a headache now, why waste medicine. Hope this made someone laugh, stay safe everyone.

Aren't there sound-dampening panels that reduce the volume of loud sounds and echo's by not reflecting sound waves? I think that could be e solution without the bloodstain and non-sterile issues
Absolutely! A lot of people don't know this! They're called doctor's orders, but in reality they are advisors telling you what they recommend. Ultimately it's YOUR body and you alone can decide what happens or doesn't happen to it. ❤️✌🏻
Just out of curiosity, what kind of things would you want to refuse at the doctor's office? (You don't have to tell me if you don't want to, of course, but as a healthcare worker, I am just genuinely curious).
@@celeste4302 Due to my overactive gag reflex & aspiration risk, I've had to refuse at least 3 tests that I can think of. 1 Throat swab (pre-covid times) since they were planning on using the same meds regardless 2 Sedated MRIs since I require full sedative anesthesia due to severe muscle spasms and twice now I've vomited and aspirated it upon extubation (one of those times was apparently both intubation and extubation) and the most recent time requiring 4 days of inpatient treatment and complete loss of voice (felt like I had to yell in order for a very quiet whisper to come out and became quickly out of breath) that lasted for about 2-3 WEEKS.
@@hannahtfdthbkktffrd I know this is old but I just want you to know that you don’t have to outright refuse! Like Dr. Mike said, if you just mention you are uncomfortable, most doctors will be willing to discuss it, whether that means providing more information, suggesting another option, or even telling you it’s okay to skip.
My wife was very adamant about having her body donated to an anthropology department. She really wanted to end up at TN university, but she passed before we could update the Will. I really hope whatever they do with her remains at Western Carolina will actually help people.
There are two kind of people out there: The ones that are now waiting for that storytime on the surgeon that managed to perform a surgery on himself; The ones who lie
This past summer I went to the doctor's office. I was in the process of trying to lose weight but I didn't want to get weighed at the doctor's office since I'd just been there two weeks ago. I said something to the nurse and she let me move on, but she gave me an exasperated look when I told her and she seemed really cranky. Part of the reason I took a pass is because I was getting my blood pressure checked and I was worried seeing no change/a small change would make me freak out and increase my blood pressure. This same nurse got annoyed with me when I asked a clarifying question, too.
Leonid Ivanovich Rogozov is the doctor who did an appendectomy on himself, he took a part in a Soviet Antarctic Expedition he was the only doctor there so he did the surgery on himself assisted by two of the people who were on the expedition, the surgery was successful and he lived till he was 66 (he died from lung cancer).
4:10 on this topic, at my clinic I was asked if I was comfortable being weighed and that was really comforting to hear because I’m in recovery for an ED
I wish I had a doctor like you. I'm tired of always being ignored or having things not looked in to. I always just get prescribed something and told to come back in 3 months
That appendectomy situation reminds me of a story about my great grandpa. He was a Navy Pharmacist who wanted to be a doctor but couldn't afford medical school. He was getting his appendix out under local anesthesia and asked for a mirror so he could watch the surgery. They let him watch too.
Me: Wants to be a doctor to help people Also me: Is grossed out at the sight of blood, bones, and anything inside of the body My brain: MAKE UP MY MIND!!!

I have good and bad news," the doctor said to his patient. "Give me the good news first," the patient said. "Your test results are back," the doctor said, "and you have only two days to live." "That's the good news?" the patient exclaimed. "What's the bad news?" "I've been trying to reach you for two days.

The consent to treat (this usually included a statement that stated doctors had the right to treat every time you came in and that you have rights and responsibilities that are fully listed on hospitals website) and the HIPPA form (privacy rules etc). Our hospital found that because most people threw out their forms that it was a waste of money to print both forms out all the time (total of 5-7 pages each form) . Of course you still had an opportunity to read it we had it readily available on desks and were required to verbally show and ask whether you wanted a copy or to read it. Most people said no. The only time we emphasized that you have rights , at least in the area I worked, was when a patient needed surgery. Then they would sign a extra consent to treat and we would tell the, about guest relations.
Patient rights and responsibilities in summary says that doctors will make every effort to give the patient clear instructions and plans and will also respects their patients ultimate decision. While fully complying with hospital rules. Patients have the right to express their concerns ask for clarification and accept or reject drs evaluations. It’s also state that you are responsible for paying bills and giving correct information to the doctor. While fully complying with hospital rules. In general most people know this.
Lmao doctors aren’t cops, why would you be forced to do what they want?
@@TheDGomezzi social anxiety
Not a doc (radtech), but if a sense that a patient is feeling pressured (because they're scared of the scan, outcome, overwhelmed or anything) always tell them that they're always free to say no. I do advise them and inform them of the benefits, but just the act of telling them they're in charge is usually enough to earn their trust.
One of the easiest pitfalls is assuming patients agree with you. Assuming patients know what you want to do.
I want to hear the story about the doctor who performed surgery on himself too!!! Must have been so awful tho
Same
Me too
me too
I think I’ve heard this one. He had a couple of people assisting him by holding mirrors and passing tools and one of them passed out!
They even made a House episode of it with Mira Sorvino! Double Dr.Mike win!

“It takes less energy to smile than to frown, but it takes more effort to be happy than miserable”
this is only half true, the frown thing is a myth
It takes no effort to be happy. Just decide to be happy. It's like I tell my daughter about luck....everything is 50/50. You either win or you don't. That's life. So you can be happy or you can be sad. It's your choice. But being happy is way more fun.

24 hours before my colonoscopy, I ate lemon, lime and orange flavored jello. The doctor gave me copies of my beautiful rainbow intestines. We were both amazed. I told him he could frame a copy of he wanted, he really looked like he was considering it!

Something similar happened to me, it went like this:

Dr: You are fat you need to lose weight.
Me: But am too depressed to work out and I wanna die.

Saved me a trip to Goodwill right there.
aww man i needed a dead body for cheep.

Doctor Mike: Coughs
Me: Throws phone into a tub of hand sanitizer
Hahahahahaha 😂😂😂

I was literally thinking the same thing lol...
#AlertNotAnxious
Considering that’s the only reason for a cough 🙄. (Sarcasm)... I’m guessing you’re 20 years or under. If only you got to experience scurvy lol. Put your parents iPad/iPhone (or one they gave you) down for the weekend.
I think I would have been much healthy person now if I had someone like you as my pediatrician. My doctor was the kind that didn’t acknowledge anything that I did. I was like 100 pounds over weight in my teenage years so I wanted to exercise and get in shape. I had been walking home from school and walking my dog for like 2 miles each day. Walking home from school was a little less than 4 miles. I would also do yoga at night to relax myself and my muscles before I went to bed. I had lost a lot of body fat and gain muscle. I only had like 30 pounds left to lose to be in shape but I thought I was doing good. So when I went into my next physical exam I was feeling pretty proud. I told the doctor what I was doing for exercise and he weighed me. He then preceded to tell me I should do even more exercise and that I was still overweight. I think it sort of put me in a depression so I stopped most of my exercising. I still walked my dog, but I no longer cared about getting into shape. I now hate going to the doctors and live by the motto, if I die then I die cause I have such a strong phobia of going to the doctors. I literally have to feel like I’m dying to go anywheres near a doctor and that’s only if someone forces me.
Doctor Mike : I smile coz I'm lazy
Also doctor mike : has biceps bigger than the earth
Exxagerated but okay.
PancakeWaffle That's the point...
How did I not think of that? Thanks Bro

I really wanna hear the story of the doctor performing surgery on himself in Antarctica. Just sayin'....
yeah, you and half the comment section. lol
so do we
A Russian mission with only one doctor was sent to Antarctica, the doctor got appendicitis and the only way for him to survive was an appendectomy, so he did it himself using a mirror.
The colon cleanse for my colonoscopy was terrible lol. I was telling my mom I'M DYING lolol.
Hahahhahahaha
That stuff was so salty I gagged every time I had to take a drink. I couldn't even get through it by mixing it in Gatorade or something sweet, so I decided to make Campbell's beef barley soup, strain out all the solids and then mix the broth with the prep. It was like a miracle. It still took me like 3 hours to get through drinking it instead of the recommended 45 minutes, but everything turned out fine.
My mom almost died of it...or she did. But not because of that.
Use a wide straw. You bypass your taste buds. Don’t know why this isn’t standard instruction. It was with my instructions from Gundersen Health.
For mine, i had to chug gatorade and dulcolax for hours. I havent touched gatorade since
I’m a medical assistant but I’m pretty obsessed with medicine as a whole. If I wasn’t poor or absolutely terrified of the amount of debt doctors have I might have tried my hand at a pre-med degree. And, I have had many conversations with friends and family around the dinner table about medical issues/procedures. They always remind me that unlike me, they do have a gag reflex. 😂😂😂
Dr Mike, I don't understand one thing. Why are shifts at the hospitals so long and many? Isn't it dangerous for the patient? Seems just crazy but it is like that in all countries I know. How are tired doctors and nurses supposed to not make life threatening mistakes?
Because a lot of countries are lacking doctors/nurses. In France or Romania, for exemple, they usually do 24h shifts in the ER
One theory is that it’s better for a patient to have minimal shift changes, one doctor or nurse watching over the patient for a long time period even with some fatigue, rather than frequently switching the patient off to a new person who wouldn’t be able to observe subtle changes in the patient that don’t get picked up easily on a chart or computer.
I mean, if you have a lack of staff. Do you really have a choice?
Not enough staff, at least where I work.
I mean in Slovakia there is even an exception to labor laws that doctors and nurses can have much more overtime etc than normally. But that cannot be due to staff shortages, because there are not many open positions. More than staff shortage here is a problem with financing, but on the other hand paying overtime seems to be less economical than hiring another person... Not something you would make law exceptions for...
I think we’re used to seeing anyone at the doctors office as an authority figure so we just do as they say...
I had bulimia, and every doctor visit (and they were monthly) triggered a relapse until I realized I can just do blind weighing or opt out of getting weighed!!
I’m glad you were able to find a way that works! I might do that during my next visit 😀
Oh that’s great! Happy you found a way that’s better for you :)
Any time I am asked to step on the scale at the Doctor's office I groan because I know I'm gonna get a lecture from My Doctor about losing weight🤦♀️

I think all owners of bigger dogs call them like "my little one". I have 65kg American Akita and it's the same story. They are so cuddly and precious.

I was in town on Saturday and there was a couple that had two newfies. My dad called them horses for me (im short, never funny) while I continued to coo at them and call them fluffy doggos in childish voices. The owners were far lovelier to me than my dad. Major floofs. 😊
If I'm honest, I quite often lose focus when watching your meme reviews or tweet reviews. There's something about your voice that makes it calming and I tend to do household chores or paperwork whil listening to your reviews and I love it 😄.

A nurse asked me during a check up why I said I sleep poorly and wake up often. I said I have 2 kids. She said, "oh, ok. Got it"
It could be any factor. Lack of sex from having 2 kids, stress (not from them) or just getting older. Don’t blame your children. Give them some Benadryl and you won’t be bothered
You should have seen the face of my neurologist when she suggested I reduce stress, and I'm like "I have 3 kids..."

I’m too nervous to refuse lol
Just out of curiosity, what kind of things would you want to refuse at the doctor's office? (You don't have to tell me if you don't want to, of course, but as a healthcare worker, I am just genuinely curious).
@@celeste4302 Due to my overactive gag reflex & aspiration risk, I've had to refuse at least 3 tests that I can think of.
1 Throat swab (pre-covid times) since they were planning on using the same meds regardless
2 Sedated MRIs since I require full sedative anesthesia due to severe muscle spasms and twice now I've vomited and aspirated it upon extubation (one of those times was apparently both intubation and extubation) and the most recent time requiring 4 days of inpatient treatment and complete loss of voice (felt like I had to yell in order for a very quiet whisper to come out and became quickly out of breath) that lasted for about 2-3 WEEKS.
@@hannahtfdthbkktffrd I know this is old but I just want you to know that you don’t have to outright refuse! Like Dr. Mike said, if you just mention you are uncomfortable, most doctors will be willing to discuss it, whether that means providing more information, suggesting another option, or even telling you it’s okay to skip.
My wife was very adamant about having her body donated to an anthropology department. She really wanted to end up at TN university, but she passed before we could update the Will. I really hope whatever they do with her remains at Western Carolina will actually help people.

This past summer I went to the doctor's office. I was in the process of trying to lose weight but I didn't want to get weighed at the doctor's office since I'd just been there two weeks ago. I said something to the nurse and she let me move on, but she gave me an exasperated look when I told her and she seemed really cranky. Part of the reason I took a pass is because I was getting my blood pressure checked and I was worried seeing no change/a small change would make me freak out and increase my blood pressure. This same nurse got annoyed with me when I asked a clarifying question, too.
3:40 Lmao, Bear was just walking behind the couch looking like some magic rug or something 😂

Leonid Ivanovich Rogozov is the doctor who did an appendectomy on himself, he took a part
in a Soviet Antarctic Expedition he was the only doctor there so he did the surgery on himself
assisted by two of the people who were on the expedition, the surgery was successful and
he lived till he was 66 (he died from lung cancer).
that’s pretty cool
As a medical Student I am always inspired by him .....GETTING WORSE THINKING WHAT I AM GONNA DO AS A DOCTOR🥺
