as a real doctor i'm legitimately afraid
for michael reeves and his
health condition you've probably heard
of michael reeves he builds interesting
robots on youtube
hell yeah in fact last year he took
inspiration from the life-saving da
vinci surgical robot
and made his own still pending fda
approval michael's funny michael's
brilliant michael's bladder once
exploded and his urine turned black he's
one of the most creative and
entertaining youths what
his urine did what my bladder had this
weird thing where it like popped
as i was pissing i was like the it was
starting to go black
as a doctor and a medical detective i
had to solve this case i called upon my
team
invested my time money and endless
effort to track michael down
you just want the story of what happened
i know you were uh
you were getting like chinese food right
at the time yeah yeah i was i was a
genki sushi
which is probably not like nationwide
chain it's a sushi place i was like wow
i have to piss since i asked someone
like
is there like a bathroom i can use at
this establishment they're like no
because we're on maui and
every store sucks i paid i ran to the
like public bathroom at the mall i was
so sure i was gonna kiss my pants but i
held it until i got to the urinal you
know when you do the suck in to undo
your
buckle there was this like
this popping feeling i don't know if it
was audible but i felt it throughout my
body it was like a little pop
at my bladder area i got light-headed
and i was
still pissed i managed to get the piss
out and you know my vision started you
know having this
around when you get lightheaded i left
the bathroom i like sat on the floor for
15 minutes
and then i was fine never had like an
issue where it popped again but
i feel like i piss more after that like
i pissed did that scare the
out of you i mean like yeah i thought i
hadn't i thought i had like internal
bleeding and i had to go to the hospital
after recovering on the floor of this
maui shopping mall michael reeves had a
decision to make should he visit his
doctor
or should he go home and build a robot
that measures the volume and frequency
of his urine then upload that data live
on his twitch while streaming video
games
it's like a flow meter sensor and a half
a funnel cut around it
and it goes to like this little wi-fi
enabled board and the wi-fi enable board
runs to my computer
later like it transmits to my computer
over wi-fi the data of how
fast liquid is going through it and then
it displays on my like obs
and so it displays on my stream like how
much piss
i'm pissing did you get checked out
after that i know i didn't have like any
health care service at that point like i
i didn't have insurance
at this point so i was like ah if i died
whatever
um okay that's not advisable like i'm
gonna go on record and just say that's
not what i would recommend to do in that
scenario now
you said after the fact you were
starting to use the bathroom more often
you were saying you're peeing like
several times an hour
is that still happening well when i'm
like chugging water as a doctor when i
hear someone
say even if they're chugging water uh
that they're urinating several times an
hour that sounds excessive because
generally and then this is a rough
estimate i don't want anyone to think
that this is
a hard and fast rule most adults urinate
anywhere between four and eight times a
day i don't
feel like going to the doctors there's
this like weird thing that happened
recently i don't know if you've heard of
it it's like this thing called covet 19.
and it's like this yeah i don't is that
the viral thing yeah yeah the viral
thing and i don't know
right now so had this viral sensation
covet 19 not become viral would you have
gone
i can't say for sure but maybe getting
ahead of problems and like
preventing problems is ideal like are
you a subscriber to that notion
yeah as a do as i say not as i do kind
of thing
wait a second it was starting to go
black
what about the black urine in this
instant you didn't mention it but on
your stream you did
and i think it got misunderstood at
least by my fans
you were saying something like you ran
to the bathroom you were trying to
go to the bathroom and when you did that
it went black
my fans assumed that your urine turned
black and they got really worried that
you were in kidney failure
and i was like oh no did michael reeves
go into kidney failure and just throw
his hands up and say he's good
no the piss was fine the pistol so the
pistol's a normal color
yes the pistol is a pistol all of this
makes sense as michael doesn't have a
urology degree
but despite his vast engineering
understanding he doesn't have one of
those degrees either i didn't finish
college it's mostly just like taught off
of google and like
you know youtube courses and all that i
know you you take things
in stride and you make things funny but
you actually do inspire a lot of people
to explore science and engineering
i've actually scoured read it i've seen
posts of people being like
if i want to do what michael reeves does
what do i study in school
like do you ever think about your impact
on people's education
i try not to i really do i would like
not to inspire people i feel like
that's at least on the education
standpoint i mean education has changed
right
like you mentioned such a great example
that you can learn off of youtube and
google
like you don't need to pay a huge sum of
money to go to school
and that doesn't mean that everyone has
to follow that but dude imagine
you don't have the resources to go to a
good school or that you didn't take
education seriously earlier in your life
but now you want to
i can learn from how you learned right
like yeah
i wouldn't recommend it if you want to
be a doctor but so many other things i
think it's more about like
learning how you learn best because i
hate classrooms so
much so how did you learn that how did
you like figure that out
by just sitting in school for like 12
years or so but how did you know that
like youtube and google learning was for
you
i remembered it after i was teaching
myself wouldn't remember it in the class
i just i hate
normal schools i also learn way slower
than most people like i'll watch every
course like twice
by like when i get you know halfway in
i'll like have to
reverse because i didn't understand
something and and all that so reversing
and being able to look through the
content wait it's super nice just for me
personally
since michael likes learning from
experts on youtube wink wink i offered
to answer any medical questions he had
aneurysms what's the deal with that you
just what you get brain bleed
okay so randomly and i die out of the
blue
do you have an aneurysm is that why like
you're worried about it no i'm still
here
talking you can live with an aneurysm
really you have the plumbing that goes
in your body pretend like you have the
pvc
pipe but the pvc pipe let's say it's
made of rubber instead like a balloon
material yeah it holds the pressure
really well but then imagine one part of
the wall is thinner than the rest of the
wall of the artery
so it creates like an out pouching so it
has like a weakness
it's like an alcove that's an aneurysm
and you could live
and not know that you have an aneurysm
and everything's fine but then if you
like let's say you have high blood
pressure or something happens and that
aneurysm ruptures because it's already a
thinner wall you create a
brain bleed and that sometimes can be
fatal and it creates a hemorrhagic
stroke
it freaks me out that you can just die
and you don't know why
nothing's bad and then you're dead not
everyone dies of a brain bleed you know
who's actually someone famous that you
probably know that had one and survived
the actress from game of thrones i had
just finished filming season one of game
of thrones
then i was struck with the first of two
aneurysms she had two aneurysms
dude she tanked that she's built
different she said michael reeves said
you can't survive these give me two
the brain and the heart freaked me out
the idea that you could have like
something happening that's like a
permanent debuff that you don't know
about
maybe it's like i'm i'm a lot more slow
because of some weird thing
going on and it would be always
undiagnosed have you heard of phineas
gage
i have the guy who got the the the
braille spike in the head and then he
wasn't
forever because it went through his uh
his hippopotamus
his hip no no it wasn't the hippocampus
it was the the
amygdala it was the amygdala right uh i
think
with him it went through his uh frontal
cortex
oh the whole like the prefrontal cortex
was damaged and that like
keeps your personality intact so he was
functioning off of that lizard brain
component
not being logical and reasoning etc and
you know where we see this a lot michael
people who are elderly they sometimes
get what we call
frontotemporal dementia start acting
hyper-sexual saying raunchy that's
something
that that's old people that sucks that
sucks that's like so that happens to old
people specifically don't want to think
about that
never gonna think about that ever again
what is your last word
what is the imparting wisdom you'd like
to set to the world
pay attention to don't don't do what i
do
pay attention to what doctors say if
you're bladder pops
go to the doctor michael reeves isn't
the only gamer here i actually take
gaming quite seriously myself click here
