- How can I help you, sir?
I've gone blind in both eyes.
I see.
I don't, oh my God.
I know I said I was gonna do a video on reopening schools
and I promise I'll do that.
I just want to make sure that I get that video perfect.
I want you to have the best info,
but what I got for you today is a laughworthy,
awesome medical meme review.
Are you ready?
Don't take a panoramic image when watching Dr. Mike.
Whoa, what happened to my face?
"Doc McStuffins", medical accuracy.
"Grey's Anatomy", medical accuracy.
Obviously one looks way more diesel than the other one,
but yeah, "Doc McStuffins" was dropping smart bombs.
When I screamed at the gynecologist,
it was just an ovary reaction.
Punny.
It's an overreaction, overreaction, ovary reaction,
ovary action ovary action.
No, it still sounds like overreaction.
The interns calling a consult consultant for first time.
- You ever had dreams that, that you, you had your,
you wish you could do when you, when you want,
you can do so.
You do, you can, you, you want him to do it yourself.
- This is an intern calling a consultant
for the first time or presenting
their case to an attending physician.
When you're an intern,
and you have to present in a succinct, logical quick way,
and you haven't done it in a while
and you don't really know
the consultant you're speaking to,
it's really nerve wracking to present.
You know, you have to be sharp, quick,
'cause there's some consultants who are like,
why are you wasting my time?
What do you want?
You know, as an attending physician,
now I have residents present to me quite often,
even medical students.
I've gotten to the point where I can tell where someone is
in their training,
based on how well they present their cases.
(dog snores)
It's just, it's funny, 'cause he's sleeping.
But at the same time,
he's like snoring and dreaming at the same time.
So he's half kicking me, half shaking.
His eyes are opening and closing, but he's dead asleep.
Imagine you dying during the plague
and this (toy squeaks) walk in.
Authentic plague doctor masks.
No way.
Are these real?
Dr. Mike makes a video and says something
about sleeping well.
I'm gonna be honest with you.
I didn't get my full seven to nine hours last night and I'm
quite sleepy and it's not good,
'cause my performance suffers.
I get a little delirious,
get a little bit less motivated.
So please try and sleep a consistent seven to nine hours.
Trust me, listen to me.
I'm losing it.
Sustainable skincare advice from my dermatologist.
One, avoid the sun at all costs.
Two, use sunscreen before going to bed at night.
Three, never think about the sun.
Four, wear a wide brim hat in the shower.
Five, if someone mentions the sun to you,
report them to the authorities.
The reason why we in the healthcare community
and dermatologists specifically, warn you about the dangers
of the sun is not only,
and this is obviously the most important reason,
because of the cancer risk that the sun poses to your skin,
but also the integrity of your skin changes.
The appearance of your skin changes.
And this is not only when it's really sunny out
in the summer.
Yeah, that's obviously dangerous,
'cause you can get sunburned and the more sunburns you have
throughout your lifetime,
the more predisposed you are to all sorts of cancers.
But also when it's cloudy, UV rays are still banging.
Why did I say banging?
It's a weird term for UV rays, but it's true.
By the way, a lot of people assume that sunblock
is the best protection from the sun.
No, my friends shade and staying out of the sun is the best
protection from the sun.
Covering up, whether that means an umbrella,
t-shirt, staying underneath a tree.
Does anyone know CPR?
Hey Bear, slow motion pee, whoop, bear.
Oh, Bear's not a corgi, but this is adorable.
And CPR should not take place in the back
or on the, the kidneys.
When you're hungry,
but don't want to leave your bed to go out to eat.
Come on, do gluconeogenesis.
Ah, that's so cute.
For those of you who don't know,
gluconeogenesis is the creation of glucose
through your liver.
Me ow, why does my neck hurt so often?
My posture.
This really reminds me of the last TikTok talk video
and the guy's like shoulders up chest out,
neck forward and down.
And then he just walks around like a dinosaur.
I'm like, what is this thing?
Posture is incredibly important aspect,
not the only aspect, of why your neck can hurt.
Another thing I see quite often happening is my patients who
are side sleepers, not use a pillow that has enough support.
So remember when you're sleeping on your back,
you don't need much support because you really just need to
align your, your spine.
But when you lay on your shoulder on your side,
now there's more room for your head to collapse and fall.
So you need something to sort of keep it propped up
and you need a firmer pillow.
There's actually specific pillows that are designated for
side sleepers that I encourage a lot of my patients
to check out.
What my patient sees as I wake them up at four a.m. every
morning to ask t if they've pooped.
Oh God, I remember these days,
Like I would be on surgery as a med student,
you come in at four or five,
six a.m. and you're waking patients up and you feel so bad
'cause you want them to get to get a good night's rest,
but at the same time,
you want to make sure that you're evaluating their progress.
Do you create a plan, should they go home?
Do they have to stay, present them to the surgeon?
So the surgeon can make their decision
about if they need further treatment.
Vaccines act like virus to train the immune system.
Virus actually enters body.
Immune system, hey, I've seen this one.
That's exactly how it works.
You know, it's funny, I saw someone who's,
anti-vaccine say something like if there was only a way we
could make the virus,
enter our body without actually getting us sick,
and that would solve all our problems.
And I just face palmed so hard that I actually hurt my eye
a little bit.
It was like red for a few minutes.
No one.
Me entering residency with all of the medical
knowledge I've retained.
You know, it feels like that.
But in reality, you know, a lot more than you know.
You just haven't accessed it all on demand.
You've only accessed it regurgitated on tests,
but the more you sort of access it in the moment,
even if you have to look it up in the moment,
the more you're gonna get comfortable with accessing
that information again.
It's just about getting the key tone locked in.
Me: any allergies to medications?
Patient: grass, mold, cats, and mosquitoes.
I forgot what I asked the patient the other day.
Oh, they were having a really bad case of cellulitis,
which is a superficial infection of the skin.
They had like some sort of bite and then they were
scratching at it and they were excoriations
and started spreading.
Because of that, we needed to treat it
with an oral antibiotic.
So I asked,
do you have any allergies to any antibiotics?
And you're like, I have a horrible pollen allergy.
And I'm like, I understand why you're saying that.
But the reason I'm asking about allergies at this given
moment is because if I give you a penicillin antibiotic
or penicillin derivative antibiotic,
and your have anaphylaxis to that and your throat closes up,
I've done a big booboo.
When you slept for two hours and think coffee will help.
That's a busted up car.
That looks like a Russian car called
a (speaking foreign language).
Don't try and Google it,
'cause I have no idea how that's spelled.
And just so you know,
the way coffee works is it blocks, your adenosine receptors,
which as you function throughout the day,
you're using ATP and it's getting transformed from ATP,
your energy molecule to ADP,
and you're having excess phosphate and adenosine floating
around as the day goes on.
Because you have this adenosine binding,
it's those receptors, you're getting more tired.
Caffeine blocks those receptors.
Therefore you get less tired, so you don't feel as sleepy.
That being said,
it only has a limited benefit over time
in keeping you focused.
Keeping you not sleepy is one thing,
but keeping you focused is a whole different animal.
So don't think that when you don't sleep 24 hours
and then you have a cup of coffee, you're all good.
You're not back to baseline.
You may not be sleepy,
but your reflexes and all that are still shot.
The average human body contains enough bones
to make an entire skeleton.
I just heard the funniest thing in the book
that I'm reading.
I don't even know what this meme said, by the way.
I'm reading this book called "This is Going to Hurt".
And I'm actually reaching out to the author to get them on
this channel because it's such a dark funny book.
And he tells the story of when he's at a party with his
friends and he's the only doctor and it was pop trivia
and the question came up.
How many bones are in the human body?
And he didn't know what the answer was and everyone judged
him for it.
He's like, that's not practical.
No one would ever ask me that question on rounds.
I would never know that information to help out a patient.
And yet two of his friends knew and he had no idea and he
felt super embarrassed.
And I understand that struggle.
Happens all the time.
People ask me some weird stuff, Mike,
what happens if I inhale apple cider vinegar?
I'm like, I have no idea.
They're like, well, aren't you a doctor?
You walk into a patient's room and see this,
what would you do?
What would I do?
I would just very confidently walk out
and pretend I didn't see it.
Three a.m. medical student is studying. (laughs)
This looks like Chernobyl.
I don't know why I feel like this is Chernobyl.
I'm probably the worst example of late nights studying the
day or the weekend before an exam.
But it's when I focus the best, under pressure.
That sort of, it drove me.
It doesn't work well for everyone.
In fact, there's many people who should not do that.
As a medical student, I highly advise
you invest in two objects,
two products, maybe three.
One, a comfortable chair.
Two a nice lamp.
And three, a money money set of noise canceling headphones.
I'm Dr. Ross, Geller.
Ross, please.
This is a hospital okay?
That actually means something here.
He's a paleo, paleontologist,
Paleontology, pimp, paleontologist.
Why am I having trouble saying that?
By the way, Ross is my favorite,
most relatable character from "Friends",
and fun fact, Dave Schwimmer and I share a birthday.
What, what?
Oh my God.
Or is he November 11th?
Check out this comedian,
roasting my Instagram or check out
you guys roasting me on Instagram.
Which one are you gonna laugh at?
Either way it's me, but which video are you clicking on?
Stay happy and healthy while clicking on these videos.
Why am I shaking like this?
I don't know.
It's late, I haven't slept.
Click.
