María Matmos Yesss thank you for saying this. People can’t tell I have NF, but once they find out they start treating me differently like I’m 6 because people with NF are supposed to be “stupid”. And asking me if i need help or if i’m in pain or if im going to die soon. My main noticeable symptom of NF1 are my cafe au lait spots. I don’t mind people asking me what they are or what NF is, it just bothers me when people treat me like a child when I’m 16. So thank you for telling people to treat people with NF such as I, like a normal human ❤️❤️❤️❤️
Hanna Cemara Gitana I also have scoliosis too but it was never bad enough to wear brace. I hope people stop starting because scoliosis is actually pretty normal
I don't understand why people have the need to stare. My mum worked with many people with different disabilities, from deaf to down syndrome. She taught me to never stare or point out obvious flaws. But explain these issues alone, to answer my curiosity so I don't go asking them about their insecurities abruptly as a kid.
I have a very visible disability and people feel entitled to my whole medical history since they can see my disability. I don’t mind polite questions but the staring and really invasive nosy questions becomes quite frustrating. I just want to go about my day without being stared at as though I was a circus act.
I've definitely been working on this because I just tend to stare in general. I usually look away or dart all over to not make a person with a disability uncomfortable but this made me think of making children more away of how they talk to others from an early age. I'm glad your mum did that for you and I hope I can do that for my own kids some day
well people are interested. its human nature to try to understand (in this case its staring) something foriegn. hopfully they ask questions respectfully and try to understand more without just gawking at someone like they're a zoo animal.
As someone who has struggled with various types of depression, let me say, that what plastic surgeons and dermatologists do cosmetically, absolutely *CAN* save lives. That little piece of hope and support can be just enough to put someone back on the road to healing their mind as much as their body. ♥
I absolutely hate people who judge others for getting plastic surgery. Cosmetic surgery can save lives, just like any other kind. It can lift someone’s spirits, it can show them a fuller way of life, and it can give someone so much self confidence.
Deadass, it irritates me that people shit on celebrities like the Kardashians etc.. they're in the public light and how they look and show themselves is how they get money, of course talent matters too. I mean both the pressure, the money and the access is there. There is a beauty standard and we all are under it. They just happen to conform more and those who dont feel like they are the beauty standard, get work done.
And in the case of people who are having plastic surgery due to gender dysphoria or gender incongruence, it literally is life-saving treatment on the same level as antidepressants! There are two main categories of treatments for distress relating to one's body not matching their ideal gender presentation (the definition of gender dysphoria): hormone replacement and plastic surgery. And for those who don't experience dysphoria but still want the procedures anyways, it's a *huge* quality of life improvement.

My sister passed away from NF2 in Jan of 2017. She lost her sight at 13 and hearing at 21. She passed away at 30. She was SUPER intelligent and kind to the last day.
My mom passed away from NF2 Oct. 21 1999. There were a lot of things she couldn't do( like driving a car). She couldn't balance a checkbook. She could do those super hard logic puzzles though. She was also a gifted seamstress. I hope you are doing okay. Blessings to your sister and the rest of your family
My cousin has NF2. He was diagnosed when he was about 5 (from what I understand thats super rare) and us about 10 now. He's never had any skin stuff but does have tumors on his ocular and auditory nerves which he's had lots of surgery and radiation for. Baffles me the difference in life expectancy between NF1 and NF2. I'm sorry to hear about your sister.
@@tailsofpearls she never had skin stuff either, it did have scoliosis and similar tumors to your cousin. All over her spinal chord and brain too. What is the age different between you two?

I can relate to this. I was diagnosed once for scabies. And I had it for a little over a year. Worst fucking experience ever and it can ruin your self esteem too having all these little sores over the arms and legs. Thankfully, Ive been cured from it. It wasn't the dreams that helped me, but pure tea tree oil of all things. Its a very common thing, but I hope no one ever has to go through that. Its also very contagious.

I used to care for a young lady who had this and had profound physical and learning disability along with severe epilepsy having multiple seizures hence the reason she was cared for by learning disability nurses. It can be such a terrible disease and had a massive impact on her life.
Joseph Dahdouh had extensive investigations done throughout her early life and as she was deteriorating, showed with each scan that there were more and more rain tumours which were inoperable. Sadly no longer with us, passed away in her 30s as a direct result of this condition. So sad as she lost her personality as it progressed.
My work colleague has severe neurofibromatosis. We are both teachers. One of her tumours is on her foot, so big she cannot wear closed shoes unless she lays it above it. (Think bigger than 2 tennis balls) so much respect to her, since kids can be particularly cruel.
Kids can indeed be cruel but it’s also shown that positive experiences with physically “deformed” people tend to think much more positively of people with visible disabilities. The more prolonged that positive exposure, such as having a teacher who looks different, the bigger the effect. There’s actually a mini-doc done by a guy with a major facial deformity that explores all of this. It was very eye opening. I wish I could recall the name but I know I saw it here on UA-cam.

@@ジョジョさま You'd rather prefer kids living their whole lives in orphanages without any parents at all, than have a child grow up with a loving mother but with no father? 🤦♀️
Love the snipping but hate the needles. I would also put her down under so she doesn't feel the poke. Though I might just be irregular considering how much it hurts.
I suffer from skin picking and though our conditions are so different... definitely understand the feeling of not wanting to look at your skin :( bad reminder of the condition...hope she is doing well today edit: ❤️ I felt so alone with this condition because I never knew anyone else who struggled with it. Thanks for the advice and sending love to everyone
Also been struggling with skin picking over the last year. Went from perfect skin to scarred face. Take care of your health, both mental and physical 💔
I feel you. I don't struggle with skin picking, but with hair pulling (trichotillomania), and I can totally relate. Seeing the bald spot on my scalp is so distressing, and thinking that others can see it..
The patients reaction to dr Lee saying she looked beautiful was so sweet but sad! You can tell she was shocked to be called that and she is a beautiful women in and out!
Neurofibromatosis 1👍 Flat, light brown spots on the skin (cafe au lait spots). Freckling in the armpits or groin area. Tiny bumps on the iris of the eye (Lisch nodules). Soft, pea-sized bumps on or under the skin (neurofibromas). Bone deformities. Tumor on the optic nerve (optic glioma). Learning disabilities.
Yup, don’t worry y’all. NF isn’t that terrible. (I have it) you can still live a completely normal and healthy life. Because my case is not as serious, I have to go to the hospital for checkups every 2-3 years to make sure none of my bumps are becoming cancerous or are harming me. But so far I’m doing pretty good hehe.
I have a painful skin condition as well and often dermatologists want to treat with local anesthetic which doesn’t do anything when I and patients like me have large infection abscess. It’s nice to hear you talk about the benefits of general anesthetic. It’s not right that there’s an option for a patient to not feel everything but too often, that isn’t offered to us! Wish more doctors were open to giving the option of general anesthetic for conditions like this.
I honestly think Dr.Lee ask her patients before she operates. Is just that if the operation can be done in local anesthesia and they chose it its fine. Because general anesthesia means bigger bill, its not only the dermatologist your going to pay for, even the anesthesiologist and mind you they have one or a heck expensive professional fee due to the risk of their work. One wrong calculation in the dose of your anesthesia and you will end up dead in the operating table
My step mom had this and it ultimately killed her. I've never seen anything like it and am disappointed with the lack of information on it. Thanks for making this and helping spread real information on this terrible disease.
I also have this disorder, nothing as server as hers or as many. I have birth marks all over my body and one large tumor on the left side of my left thigh about the size of my palm and rather than bumps, its just soft skin, and it has been growing slowly over the years since, and doctors i met rather not have surgery performed on it. I am so happy for her for the fact that she was able to live happier after the surgery.
I appreciate your attitude so much! I had some plastic surgery for excess skin after massive weight loss. My abdominoplasty was medically necessary (pannus pulled down so much it reopened hernia twice), but the other procedures were for my sanity. I didn’t come out of it looking perfect, and that’s another topic for therapy 😂. Your profession DOES change lives!
His actual name was Joseph but Dr. Treves (who oversaw Merrick's medical care for the later part of his life) miswrote his first name as John in his medical publications. Some people think he used the wrong first name because Joseph was hard to understand (tumours in his mouth) or purposefully changed it.
btw is it possible to get rid of extra skin on my arms? I lost a lot of weight (65 kgs), and thinking of whether i should go bulk it in the gym, or get it removed. it's over 20 cms extra skin on the upper arm, so I'm not sure entirely what to do with it :D I love working out, but having overall huge arms is not my priority
If it's really loose skin, the only way to really make a big difference is to undergo an arm lift, but that leaves a large scar. I'd leave that as your last resort!
Vineet Mittal I’m obviously not Dr. Youn (or a medical professional) but I know bio oil has helped me and others with already existing stretch marks (they don’t go away, just fade better). I think it’s supposed to help prevent them as well, but I haven’t tried it.
@Vineet Mittal you can't really get rid of them entirely, but you can prevent them. To prevent it, you have to drink enough, exercise and eat healthy food. I think there are oils to help them fade away, but they would never be gone. But don't worry about them too much! I have them too, even though I've never gained weight suddenly. For me, it came because my hip is um, large, like really large, and it grew suddenly. But yeah, almost every person has some sort of, especially women. Try to accept it, they are actually really beautiful in my opinion :)
This breaks my heart.. what a sweet, precious lady. I can’t imagine the pain she’s felt. I’ve always been an empath. Even as a child, I would see people that others would stare at and I would want to go hug them. Later in life I realized that many people don’t want others to treat them any different. They don’t want people feeling sorry for them. But that’s just always been a part of myself that I truly can’t help. Not because they’re different or that I feel they’re any lesser than me... but because I’ve just always wanted to take their pain away. I’m sure all you empaths out there can relate.
My mom was once a job coach, and worked with all kinds of disabilities. From cerebral palsy to the deaf, she has helped all kinds of people, and not once has she judged. Don't judge people until you know their story!
My son has nf1. My heart goes out to all with this disorder. We have been told we have to wait until it gets bigger because it could be a plexiform neurofibroma. We now have met and made many friends in the NF community. I'm so glad he learned about Neurofibromatosis type 1.
Dr. Lee has the best bed side manner. She's really lovely and I'm surprised she hasn't become jaded after so many years but treats people just like they were her first patient!
My son has NF so I'm really glad you did this episode. He was diagnosed as an adult as a premature newborn baby. For anyone who's confused by that. The criteria for diagnosing adults is higher than diagnosing babies or children. My son had so much criteria he fit the adult criteria. He currently only has cafe au lait and hairy patches, his ears and eyes are tested every few months, regular scans etc. He has another tumor condition that is also non cancerous and totally unrelated, however the two together increase the risk of leukaemia so he's tested every 3 months for that. Neither are in the family as far as we're aware so both random mutations. He was also born at 29 weeks (no reason, I just don't do term) and has cerebral palsy. Doctors say that his learning affected. I'm not sure that's a bad thing. He's one of these kids born with the knowledge of the world, he comes out with things he couldn't possibly know and we have to look up. The only person who can keep up with him is my uncle who is a scientist and thankfully has the same interests in dinosaurs and planets. At 4 he asked his step dad (a train driver) what happens when a fly hits a train. Thankfully my partner understands he was asking about Newton. We had to call my uncle in when he wanted to know if it was all the flies in the world. I can't imagine if he didn't have NF and CP so wasn't impaired! Oh and he ADHD, his nickname is Ralph (wreck it) so learning wrecking house is the other name (I can't believe I've missed that before) amused me! Yes I know it's not literally the name but, you know.
I appreciate how you explain things, Dr. Youn. This was very enlightening, for helping lay people not to judge others by their appearence. You, too, are very kind. If I lived in the U.S., I would come see you, as a patient.
I just started my relationship with Dr. Youn (MD😋) And I am so touched by his insight and understanding. His family should be so proud of him. And his dogs are some of the luckiest pups on the planet. Thank you Dr for your kindness, thoughtfulness, and dedication ✌🏽💜😃💯
watching your reaction videos to people suffering from something out of their control really made me realise that i should be grateful for what i have and not be too hard on myself when there’s unknowingly other people who suffers more than me. thank you Dr Youn for these videos my heart for Diane ❤️ she is such a strong and amazing woman, i hope God bless her with happiness in other form of ways in life ❤️
Well they do but not this well..have you seen my grandma using it? Or my dad? Or any other people older than 40? They are like.. oh ok...so...i search here?... what do i write there?... omm... what is happening? WHERE DID MY VIDEO GO?! I DONT WANNA SEE THIS!! And the n they just give up... i meant that he can use it so well that he even edits videos AND puts some modern funny stuff in it.. not like youtube? I would never use that unholy futuristic thing.. or even if people at his age upload stuff its usually like they put the camera somewhere, sometimes only half of their head in it, no cutring no editing, just uploading poor quality things..and mostly by accident hahaha. Thats what im talking about.... and yes this is also count as the usage of the platform. Peace.. *imagine Obama mic drop gif here*
As someone with nf (neurofibromatosis) and is watching all the videos on the channel about it I gotta say i love that Dr Youn knows more about this condition than some of the neurologists I've been too lol. Even more reason to appreciate and respect this man. :)
Love watching Dr. Pimple Popper with ya, Dr. Youn! Yes, it's hard to watch, but weirdly satisfying simultaneously! I hope we can get you past the 1M mark, we genuinely need more medical YTers combatting disinformation we have in these crazy times
Oh my goodness you are such an exceptional medical professional and human being. I work in healthcare and I have known many, many surgeons in my time. Your compassion, consideration for patients needs as a whole...not just their immediate medical issues, is rare and spectacular. These videos reflect your own beside manner and excellence in your clinical field. You are truly one who chose their speciality well. Much respect to you. I hope you do a lot of teaching as our next generation of surgeons could learn so many valuable lessons from your wealth of knowledge and practice.
I'm so thankful that me and my siblings were thought to never make fun of people, stare and point who have visible disabilities or skin conditions. Parents need to start teaching their kids that
Dr Youn you are just so precious, i wish all Drs had your bedside manner and your sweetness. We need more like you!! The look on your face and reaction at the end when she's talking about how Dr Lee gave her her self esteem back was just so sweet. You have such a kind heart and anyone would be lucky to have you as their DR. ❤❤
After watching you review Dr. Lee enough times I can now tell when you’re gonna say “I would do this differently” and by differently you tell us: knocked out with operating room. 👏😋
I’m a biochemist and the way you explained neurofibromatosis and the mutation on the 17th chromosome as well as how the mutation can be inherited was excellent. Diane seems like such a sweet soul and i hope this helped her to be more comfortable in her own skin.
Its less the local itself and more that in order to remove dozens or hundreds fibromas at a time you need general anesthesia because you can overdose per say on local. And general allows the surgeon to work faster and remove more than you could with local alone. Honestly a surgeon doing 2 surgeries for me to remove somewhere in the realm of 200 of these buggers was life changing. I can sleep on my back comfortably, i dont have patches of intense burning anymore, I can wear snug shirts with confidence now. It was like a damn miracle
What an awesome woman! I'd never heard of this! We sit around complaining about a pimple or two, or some wrinkles. Im feeling a lot more grateful right now and I wish her all the best.
My son was diagnosed with NF2 when he was 11. He fought for 15 years. 4 brain surgeries, 1 optic nerve surgery, 1 spinal cord surgery and 1 embolization. He lost the battle when the tumors took over his brain. He had the mutation. He had no bumps. His skull changed shape as the bone thinned with the pressure of the tumors. NF won the war when he was 26. I would have given anything for him to have the skin anomaly and be alive, than losing him forever. 💔
Aww that poor woman. My heart breaks for her and I’m thankful for Dr. Lee for being so kind to her. I’ve noticed Dr. Youn is very empathetic as well. I’ve read his book In Stitches years ago. As a premed student, he brought me a lot of inspiration. I hope to be as wonderful as them someday. God bless these doctors and that patient as well.
I found this really smart quote “ don’t point out something on someone if it can’t be fixed in 10 seconds or less” so like if someone has something on their shirt or something yea point it out but if it’s about someone’s body don’t point it out
There was this homeless man in my home town who had this. He was also slow. I never knew what it was until now and it makes so much sense. This is absolutely horrible. Thank you Anthony for educating me on such interesting and important things
So the video finishes, and I'm trying to reach some chocolate when doctor Anthony Youn says don't forget to eat healthy food 🙈🙈🙈 No chocolate for me! Thank you doctor!😊😊😊
the fact that she didnt want to have kids so that they dont have to go through it breaks my hearts :(
i love how joyful and just a jolly good she is
Thts just so sad😔.

"They apear on the skin" oh ow "and the brian,optic nerve and spine as well" IM SORRY WHAT ?!?!
Nerves are nerves and they're all bastards when you have some disorder that affects the whole nervous system.

Sad thing is that many die young of these tumours. Or, gets blind AND deaf.....
@@itsmebianka4983 You never know how strong you are until you're tested. You could be an absolute tank and not know it until you've experienced something truly awful.

This guy is wholesome
Diane should really adopt some kids to fill up her life 😿💓 i cried for her. she was still very beautiful even with her insecurities
No. Children need a father.
@@ジョジョさま I disagree. Rather than need a father, it'd help. What children truly need is a gaurdian or gaurdians that truly love them and care for them responsibly.
@@ジョジョさま You'd rather prefer kids living their whole lives in orphanages without any parents at all, than have a child grow up with a loving mother but with no father? 🤦♀️
@@fluffball4062 No. They need a feminine female mother, and a masculine male father.
@@LinneAzalea Fallacious bullshit. Dont make assumptions.
She is so strong 💪 she is inspiring
Everyon is gaging while me and anthony are like:
*This is satisfying*
I also feel really bad for Diane I hope she just pushes through.
Yeah. I really hope she attains her self esteem back because she deserves her self esteem
You must be a fellow popoholic.
Same! It's kinda satisfying watching her snip away at all those little bumps.
Love the snipping but hate the needles. I would also put her down under so she doesn't feel the poke. Though I might just be irregular considering how much it hurts.
I couldn’t live with that condition because I’d pick at them so badly.
I suffer from skin picking and though our conditions are so different... definitely understand the feeling of not wanting to look at your skin :( bad reminder of the condition...hope she is doing well today edit: ❤️ I felt so alone with this condition because I never knew anyone else who struggled with it. Thanks for the advice and sending love to everyone
Get some acne gel with salicylic acid, and put that on every spot you want to pick. It will help you feel more in control.
I started picking at my skin soon after I had a MRI where they used contrast. Sending 💖.
Same here, finally, just recently, theres therapy for it here where I live
Also been struggling with skin picking over the last year. Went from perfect skin to scarred face. Take care of your health, both mental and physical 💔
I feel you. I don't struggle with skin picking, but with hair pulling (trichotillomania), and I can totally relate. Seeing the bald spot on my scalp is so distressing, and thinking that others can see it..
As someone with neurofibromatosis as well, this was so hard to watch and sit through. It made me feel this sadness in my heart and I ache for her.
Same here, I have NF1 and watching this made me despair - I'm scared for my future
I’m sorry for both your struggles. I don’t have NF but my mother and older brother do. It’s scary. Sending love and light to you both. 😊
I love whoever edits these things. They're so funny.
That's me, thank you I'm glad you find them funny lol! (Well I have done all the Botched & Dr. Pimple Popper as well as some others) :)
@@caitlinwoudstra7944 wow you are truly amazing, the edits are what really adds so much personality to these videos
@@laminendiaye8644 Thanks, I really appreciate that!!
@@caitlinwoudstra7944 good job
The patients reaction to dr Lee saying she looked beautiful was so sweet but sad! You can tell she was shocked to be called that and she is a beautiful women in and out!
You may not be saving lives everyday but you’re changing lives everyday and that’s amazing too ☺️
Neurofibromatosis 1👍
Flat, light brown spots on the skin (cafe au lait spots).
Freckling in the armpits or groin area.
Tiny bumps on the iris of the eye (Lisch nodules).
Soft, pea-sized bumps on or under the skin (neurofibromas).
Bone deformities.
Tumor on the optic nerve (optic glioma).
Learning disabilities.
Is all that neurofibromatosis? Sounds like it’s a real pain to have this. Thank you for explaining this to me.
Bumps on the iris? 👀 dang thats crazy
I have all the spots ony body
Thats what I have.
Yup, don’t worry y’all. NF isn’t that terrible. (I have it) you can still live a completely normal and healthy life. Because my case is not as serious, I have to go to the hospital for checkups every 2-3 years to make sure none of my bumps are becoming cancerous or are harming me. But so far I’m doing pretty good hehe.
I have a painful skin condition as well and often dermatologists want to treat with local anesthetic which doesn’t do anything when I and patients like me have large infection abscess. It’s nice to hear you talk about the benefits of general anesthetic. It’s not right that there’s an option for a patient to not feel everything but too often, that isn’t offered to us! Wish more doctors were open to giving the option of general anesthetic for conditions like this.
I honestly think Dr.Lee ask her patients before she operates. Is just that if the operation can be done in local anesthesia and they chose it its fine. Because general anesthesia means bigger bill, its not only the dermatologist your going to pay for, even the anesthesiologist and mind you they have one or a heck expensive professional fee due to the risk of their work. One wrong calculation in the dose of your anesthesia and you will end up dead in the operating table
@@masakazuhiruko550 also there are people like me who are absolutely terrified of going under 😬😬😬
The way that Dr. Youn always fanboys over Dr. Lee is so cute 🥺💓
My step mom had this and it ultimately killed her. I've never seen anything like it and am disappointed with the lack of information on it. Thanks for making this and helping spread real information on this terrible disease.
She has such a lovely soul! ♥️ Its so sad that people treat her badly because of her appearance.
As someone who has an albeit milder case of neurofibromatosis, thank you Dr. for brining more awareness to this genetic disorder!
I also have this disorder, nothing as server as hers or as many. I have birth marks all over my body and one large tumor on the left side of my left thigh about the size of my palm and rather than bumps, its just soft skin, and it has been growing slowly over the years since, and doctors i met rather not have surgery performed on it. I am so happy for her for the fact that she was able to live happier after the surgery.
I appreciate your attitude so much! I had some plastic surgery for excess skin after massive weight loss. My abdominoplasty was medically necessary (pannus pulled down so much it reopened hernia twice), but the other procedures were for my sanity. I didn’t come out of it looking perfect, and that’s another topic for therapy 😂. Your profession DOES change lives!
Is it okay to say I’m in love with Dr. Youn And the positivity in this channel.
me too babes, me too 🥺❤️
I didn't expect to cry when watching this episode. I hope this woman is doing well.
The Elephant Man's name is Joseph Merrick. Not John. :) However John Hurt did a movie as Joseph. Maybe that's where that came from? lol
in the movie they called him John instead of Joseph
He went by both John and Joseph. Im not sure what his legal name was.
His actual name was Joseph but Dr. Treves (who oversaw Merrick's medical care for the later part of his life) miswrote his first name as John in his medical publications. Some people think he used the wrong first name because Joseph was hard to understand (tumours in his mouth) or purposefully changed it.
@@butterfly99rocker I heard it was because Joseph is a Jewish name and people didn't like Jewish people much back then.
The Elephant man actually did not have neurofibromatosis though. They thought it was the same disorder but later discovered it was not.
I feel so bad for her. I get stared at sometimes for my eczema and acne flare ups. I cannot even imagine how she feels.
btw is it possible to get rid of extra skin on my arms? I lost a lot of weight (65 kgs), and thinking of whether i should go bulk it in the gym, or get it removed. it's over 20 cms extra skin on the upper arm, so I'm not sure entirely what to do with it :D I love working out, but having overall huge arms is not my priority
If it's really loose skin, the only way to really make a big difference is to undergo an arm lift, but that leaves a large scar. I'd leave that as your last resort!
Wow amazing. Congrats and good luck with your future
Vineet Mittal I’m obviously not Dr. Youn (or a medical professional) but I know bio oil has helped me and others with already existing stretch marks (they don’t go away, just fade better). I think it’s supposed to help prevent them as well, but I haven’t tried it.
I'd look into autophagy. Definitely research thoroughly and speak to your doctor before going down that path.
@Vineet Mittal you can't really get rid of them entirely, but you can prevent them. To prevent it, you have to drink enough, exercise and eat healthy food. I think there are oils to help them fade away, but they would never be gone. But don't worry about them too much! I have them too, even though I've never gained weight suddenly. For me, it came because my hip is um, large, like really large, and it grew suddenly. But yeah, almost every person has some sort of, especially women. Try to accept it, they are actually really beautiful in my opinion :)
This breaks my heart.. what a sweet, precious lady. I can’t imagine the pain she’s felt. I’ve always been an empath. Even as a child, I would see people that others would stare at and I would want to go hug them. Later in life I realized that many people don’t want others to treat them any different. They don’t want people feeling sorry for them. But that’s just always been a part of myself that I truly can’t help. Not because they’re different or that I feel they’re any lesser than me... but because I’ve just always wanted to take their pain away. I’m sure all you empaths out there can relate.
Seeing this episode had actually made me cry since it was so sweet I actually watched it outside of this channel too
My mom was once a job coach, and worked with all kinds of disabilities. From cerebral palsy to the deaf, she has helped all kinds of people, and not once has she judged. Don't judge people until you know their story!
My son has nf1. My heart goes out to all with this disorder. We have been told we have to wait until it gets bigger because it could be a plexiform neurofibroma. We now have met and made many friends in the NF community. I'm so glad he learned about Neurofibromatosis type 1.
I have NF1 too, I had surgery last week where the doctors took out my plexiform. It was a complicated surgery.
I have NF1. I'm glad i have like 4 small tumors under my skin. also i'm the only one in my fam. I always forget I have NF1
Dr. Lee has the best bed side manner. She's really lovely and I'm surprised she hasn't become jaded after so many years but treats people just like they were her first patient!
My son has NF so I'm really glad you did this episode. He was diagnosed as an adult as a premature newborn baby.
For anyone who's confused by that. The criteria for diagnosing adults is higher than diagnosing babies or children. My son had so much criteria he fit the adult criteria.
He currently only has cafe au lait and hairy patches, his ears and eyes are tested every few months, regular scans etc. He has another tumor condition that is also non cancerous and totally unrelated, however the two together increase the risk of leukaemia so he's tested every 3 months for that. Neither are in the family as far as we're aware so both random mutations.
He was also born at 29 weeks (no reason, I just don't do term) and has cerebral palsy. Doctors say that his learning affected. I'm not sure that's a bad thing. He's one of these kids born with the knowledge of the world, he comes out with things he couldn't possibly know and we have to look up. The only person who can keep up with him is my uncle who is a scientist and thankfully has the same interests in dinosaurs and planets. At 4 he asked his step dad (a train driver) what happens when a fly hits a train. Thankfully my partner understands he was asking about Newton. We had to call my uncle in when he wanted to know if it was all the flies in the world. I can't imagine if he didn't have NF and CP so wasn't impaired!
Oh and he ADHD, his nickname is Ralph (wreck it) so learning wrecking house is the other name (I can't believe I've missed that before) amused me! Yes I know it's not literally the name but, you know.
I appreciate how you explain things, Dr. Youn. This was very enlightening, for helping lay people not to judge others by their appearence. You, too, are very kind. If I lived in the U.S., I would come see you, as a patient.
I just started my relationship with Dr. Youn (MD😋) And I am so touched by his insight and understanding. His family should be so proud of him. And his dogs are some of the luckiest pups on the planet. Thank you Dr for your kindness, thoughtfulness, and dedication ✌🏽💜😃💯
Almost 1 MIL subs Dr. Youn!!🥳🎉
Dr. Youn, I think you are so respectful to the other doctors and empathetic with the patients. Bonus that your voice is very relaxing. ❤ Brandi
My heart goes to this beauty
watching your reaction videos to people suffering from something out of their control really made me realise that i should be grateful for what i have and not be too hard on myself when there’s unknowingly other people who suffers more than me. thank you Dr Youn for these videos
my heart for Diane ❤️ she is such a strong and amazing woman, i hope God bless her with happiness in other form of ways in life ❤️
I really love the effects and memes you use! They are so funny and modern! I love how you as an adult use the platform so well! 💖
Well they do but not this well..have you seen my grandma using it? Or my dad? Or any other people older than 40? They are like.. oh ok...so...i search here?... what do i write there?... omm... what is happening? WHERE DID MY VIDEO GO?! I DONT WANNA SEE THIS!! And the n they just give up... i meant that he can use it so well that he even edits videos AND puts some modern funny stuff in it.. not like youtube? I would never use that unholy futuristic thing.. or even if people at his age upload stuff its usually like they put the camera somewhere, sometimes only half of their head in it, no cutring no editing, just uploading poor quality things..and mostly by accident hahaha. Thats what im talking about.... and yes this is also count as the usage of the platform. Peace.. *imagine Obama mic drop gif here*
@@sweetpotat0064 Csodás műalkotás volt ez a szöveg.
As someone with nf (neurofibromatosis) and is watching all the videos on the channel about it I gotta say i love that Dr Youn knows more about this condition than some of the neurologists I've been too lol. Even more reason to appreciate and respect this man. :)
Love watching Dr. Pimple Popper with ya, Dr. Youn! Yes, it's hard to watch, but weirdly satisfying simultaneously! I hope we can get you past the 1M mark, we genuinely need more medical YTers combatting disinformation we have in these crazy times
Dr. Youn is such a gentle and kind doctor. Very empathetic and genuinely cares.
And this is why I keep notifications on. To watch beautiful videos like these. Keep doing what you're doing man.
Oh my goodness you are such an exceptional medical professional and human being. I work in healthcare and I have known many, many surgeons in my time. Your compassion, consideration for patients needs as a whole...not just their immediate medical issues, is rare and spectacular. These videos reflect your own beside manner and excellence in your clinical field. You are truly one who chose their speciality well. Much respect to you. I hope you do a lot of teaching as our next generation of surgeons could learn so many valuable lessons from your wealth of knowledge and practice.
I'm so thankful that me and my siblings were thought to never make fun of people, stare and point who have visible disabilities or skin conditions. Parents need to start teaching their kids that
Dr Youn you are just so precious, i wish all Drs had your bedside manner and your sweetness. We need more like you!! The look on your face and reaction at the end when she's talking about how Dr Lee gave her her self esteem back was just so sweet. You have such a kind heart and anyone would be lucky to have you as their DR. ❤❤
After watching you review Dr. Lee enough times I can now tell when you’re gonna say “I would do this differently” and by differently you tell us: knocked out with operating room. 👏😋
I’m a biochemist and the way you explained neurofibromatosis and the mutation on the 17th chromosome as well as how the mutation can be inherited was excellent. Diane seems like such a sweet soul and i hope this helped her to be more comfortable in her own skin.
i literally just saw someone with this condition on the train today and wondered what it is wow
Your edits are getting better Dr. Youn.
Anyone else just find Dr.Youns channel and haven't stopped watching since ?
She is so beautiful inside and out, her smile is so contagious!
Would she react atypically to numbing agents or anesthesia because of the disease affecting her nervous system?
Huh, that's a really good question. I mean apparently not, because they probably would have mentioned that? Idk
Hi! I've got NF and it's apparently never been a problem for me. I've had a c-section and my gall bladder out and all.
I have NF and don't fully numb with local anesthesia. However I'm not sure if it's related to the NF or something else.
Its less the local itself and more that in order to remove dozens or hundreds fibromas at a time you need general anesthesia because you can overdose per say on local. And general allows the surgeon to work faster and remove more than you could with local alone.
Honestly a surgeon doing 2 surgeries for me to remove somewhere in the realm of 200 of these buggers was life changing. I can sleep on my back comfortably, i dont have patches of intense burning anymore, I can wear snug shirts with confidence now. It was like a damn miracle
What an awesome woman! I'd never heard of this! We sit around complaining about a pimple or two, or some wrinkles. Im feeling a lot more grateful right now and I wish her all the best.
Now I know what is "ketong" (Tagalog word in Neurofibromatosis) in English.
ketong is leprosy in English.
Agreed, Dr. Lee is wonderful. She treats so many people shunned by society with such genuine kindness.
“Loppin these babies off!” -Anthony Youn, MD 2020
I have much empathy for this lady and her father. I wish her the best of luck on her treatment.
Dr. Youn you are adorable😂
..
This is one of the most rewarding things about healthcare. Seeing the patients totally happy and renewed ❤️
My son was diagnosed with NF2 when he was 11. He fought for 15 years. 4 brain surgeries, 1 optic nerve surgery, 1 spinal cord surgery and 1 embolization. He lost the battle when the tumors took over his brain. He had the mutation. He had no bumps. His skull changed shape as the bone thinned with the pressure of the tumors. NF won the war when he was 26. I would have given anything for him to have the skin anomaly and be alive, than losing him forever. 💔
So sorry for your loss
Deidre Haye Thank you very much. He’s been gone 13 years now.
So sorry for your loss ❤
I hate NF2 worse than NF1. But the people who I've met with it are truly the bravest humans I've met.
Aww that poor woman. My heart breaks for her and I’m thankful for Dr. Lee for being so kind to her. I’ve noticed Dr. Youn is very empathetic as well. I’ve read his book In Stitches years ago. As a premed student, he brought me a lot of inspiration. I hope to be as wonderful as them someday. God bless these doctors and that patient as well.
I found this really smart quote “ don’t point out something on someone if it can’t be fixed in 10 seconds or less” so like if someone has something on their shirt or something yea point it out but if it’s about someone’s body don’t point it out
Bless her heart! She’s such a sweet person! I hope she finds peace with herself and takes good care of herself and her companion.
Crop, lock and pop- satisfyingly scary
I saw this episode of Dr. Lee and cried! Diane is so beautiful, strong and an amazing woman with a great smile. Blessings and Peace ❤️✝️
I hope that woman knows that she is the most beautiful and persevering person i have seen.
There was this homeless man in my home town who had this. He was also slow. I never knew what it was until now and it makes so much sense. This is absolutely horrible. Thank you Anthony for educating me on such interesting and important things
So the video finishes, and I'm trying to reach some chocolate when doctor Anthony Youn says don't forget to eat healthy food 🙈🙈🙈
No chocolate for me! Thank you doctor!😊😊😊
I'm honestly so glad I found you account, I love seeing doctors react to these types of things!
The scissor moment had me like this 😬 the entire way through
Ikr! she said that it surprised her how much it hurts🤕
Dr Youn is so empathetic. I would really like friends like him.
Never felt this bad for someone :(
Really? How old are you?
Genuinely a tear jerker. So happy for her :))
Such a courageous woman
Him: oh it's so satisfying
Me: o_o
Such a kind, professional man Dr YOUN!
Thank you so much for bringing awareness to Neurofibromatosis as someone who suffers from it everyday it means a lot!
This episode is making me so emotional 😭 this lady is so sweet , she deserves to feel beautiful
3:18 Man, I always felt bad for him. He had a really tough life at that time.
J. Merrick died in his 20s.
the fact that he is so funny and nice but also so professional talking about these medical conditions makes me feel good
Yey!!! Another reaction video from Dr. Youn 💓🥰🤩
Thank you for sharing.💕
I will remember this woman in my prayers. So happy for her💕
Awesome doctor. 😀
