- Lots of great questions here today that I'm excited to answer! We talk about heart beats, tumors, creator clash and iDubbbz, the trolley problem, pens, nipples, mastectomies, scratching a mosquito bite, chewing gum as a study hack, getting 8 hours of sleep, night shifts, Advil vs. aspirin vs. Tylenol, why you like the smell of your own farts, holding your breath, David Blaine, consuming salt, and the risks of smoking.
I LOVE reading your comments and take your suggestions seriously. If there’s a subject you want me to discuss or something you’d like for me to react to, leave a comment down below. Many of my videos have been born out of suggestions directly from you, so don’t hold back!

It’s great when doctors can say “I don’t know” rather than pretend they do or brush it off as nothing. But my former doctor (MD) would say she didn’t know something and that was it, didn’t say “I don’t know, but let’s look into it” or anything like that. It was super frustrating. My current doctor (DO) actually takes the time to find out why something’s going on when she doesn’t know. It’s so refreshing!
Yeah, it’s really frustrating for me as well. I’m only 13, but I have severe Crohn’s Disease. I’m very educated on my condition, yet because of my age my doctors always brush off my concerns until those same concerns are shared by my parents. Earlier this year, I was having more pain than usual and throwing up until I was empty. (Sorry for the grossness) My doctor did a scan, said it looked like there was a small obstruction, but probably “nothing much.” I had a gut feeling (literally) that it was really important to do something about it, but my doctor kept saying it was fine and that we should just start me on some steroids. After about a month of pushing on it, I still wasn’t getting anywhere. And then, I got insanely sick to the point I was throwing up my stomach acids (sorry again) and I ended up needing 6 inches of my intestines removed. So yeah. Needless to say, my doctors listen to me more now. Sorry for the paragraph lol-
@@sockl0ver so sorry it happened to you :( sending much strenght and love!
DO’s are the best - I switched to one after years of struggling with the after effects of a virus. One of the weirdest “symptoms” I found was that I found I felt less pain after having a drink in the evening. Instead of judgement, warnings, or saying that wasn’t a thing (previous responses), she looked interested and said she would look into it, and did follow up with the information that if a single drink helped me feel better than that was the right thing for me. A year later, a friend told me that quinine reduced muscle cramps and I realized that I almost always had a G&T. I reported back to the DO, and she not only took that as information about my illness (it didn’t feel like muscle cramps but with testing that’s what it turned out to be), but she was legit excited to investigate the studies about quinine (incl. whether they were well done, which I appreciate).
@@sockl0ver Sorry to make two comments in a row but I wanted to say I’m sorry to hear about your experience. Autoimmune issues are really tough, both to live with and to get some people in the medical community to help with (and yeah, too many people dismiss young people more). Walking that line between being a strong advocate for yourself and remaining open to the people in the medical community who actually are good at helping is difficult. Sounds like you are headed in the right direction now, healthwise, which is yay!
@@sockl0ver that sucks my man, but especially at your age it's hard to get people to listen to your genuine concerns. I lucked out with my pediatrician, she saved my brother when he was a few months old, he's now 20, and she always listened to ever concern my siblings or parents had. If your doctor is your only option, then I get it, but remember it's not wrong to get a second opinion or just generally look for another doctor who will listen to you and your guardians.
My grandmother smoked until she was 65 and got double pneumonia. My whole family came out because we were sure that she was going to pass on. Grandma Alma was very tough; survived to quit smoking and lived to be 91 years old. She was only uncomfortable enough to be given morphine for the last two days.
Lesson? It’s never too late to quit smoking!
DR MIKE PLEASE DO A VIDEO ON HOW QUICKLY IT HELPS YOUR BODY TO QUIT SMOKING!!!!!
there are no guarantees with the human body.
Wow that’s amazing, may your grandma Rest In Peace😊
You joined UA-cam before most people were even born just a pointer
I did a lot of research about this for my own purposes. If I remember correctly, after a full year of not smoking your lungs will return back to the capacity that they were before you started smoking. A smokers lungs are black because of all the tar and chemicals in cigs and after a full year that clears up (my guess is because the cells have regenerated and got rid of all the bad stuff.)

Dr. Mike, 2022
Dr. Mike is so helpful in my life. I am 12 years old and where i live (Trinidad) there is a test that you need to take to decide which secondary school( high school) you graduate to and Dr. Mike has helped me in my weakest subject , creative writing, which is writing narratives and reports. I am not good with ideas but luckily, this year, one of the topics was about a medical professional visiting your school. I wrote about Dr. Mike and some of the medical information that he shared. I got full marks and is now in one of the best schools in Trinidad. Dr. Mike is literally the best =)
I just wanted to say thank you to Dr. Mike for bringing incredibly useful medical knowledge to the world in a funny and entertaining way.
We definitely need more people like him!
You commented this exact thing last time, I know what you're trying to do
I can’t agree enough
I'm surprised Dr Mike DIDN'T know they incinerate all the biohazard material (especially body part from surgeries).
But, I'm glad he looked it up!👍
@@NemesisFromResidentEvil I don’t even think she’s a doctor lmao

Basically your heart does its own heart compressions. And since it listens to Doctor Mike, it never fails.

I love that you take the time to answer even the weirdest questions as best you can, and aren't afraid to say you don't know if you don't have an answer.
I am a Family Medicine Doctor and I found this video very good for people to understand the body.
When my son had his tumor removed from his brain the doctors donated part of it to science and the other part of it was used to test different chemotherapies against it to see if it would be an effective treatment for him. So no it’s not just usually tossed out. Sometimes it is donated for research. Also, sometimes it is stored so they won’t need to keep going in to remove it. In my sons case, he had already suffered damages from the 1st surgery (the scan normally show a good amount. It sometimes the tumor has hidden parts that a scan can missing).
10%.
I just want you to know, how much you are helping people save lives. There was an emergency rn @1:30am my neighbour stopped breathing, tongue got blue and swollen, he was unresponsive, there was cyanosis of fingers and toes. I remembered CHEST COMPRESSIONS, CHEST COMPRESSIONS, CHEST COMPRESSIONS. He started gasping, breathing and tongue came back to normal . He moved and pointed at chest. Ambulance arrived He was rushed into icu and we discovered it was a minor attack. He's stable as of now. Thank you sooo sooo so much 🙏🏼♥️

A true professional. ❤
I have POTS and Vasovagal Syncope. Last time I went to hospital, every nurse and doctor that I spoke with was very very curious about POTS. Its common apparently, but you'd be surprised how doctors and nurses learn day to day! And I really enjoy talking about my disorder and helping people understand better. Never stop learning everyone, you never know what you could pick up in day to day life!
I have both of those as well! Usually they look at me all confused and they could never figure out what was wrong for years before I went to a specialist! I like informing people about it too :)
Oh wow I didn’t know people didn’t know about POTS a lot 🤔
I knew someone who always had a sore stomach, and they had an ibuprofen everyday to try help stop the pain. I kept telling them that the ibuprofen was the problem, and they didn't listen until the finally went to the doctor
I love how passionate you are about medical knowledge, and about dispelling misinformation! Thank you for caring so much about everyone ❤
When doctor Mike started googling something, I knew I can trust him as my doctor because doesn't know everything. He keeps on learning - humility!
I had my shoulder taped by a physiotherapist a short while ago.
They told me that they haven't taped shoulders in a while so they're going to watch a youtube guide to refresh their memories as they know a channel with really good instructions on taping.
I felt happy that they were confident enough to tell me that instead of winging it and possibly screwing things up.
The fact he kept being serious while explaining his response shows how professional he is. Cause i know i was dying laughing😭💀
Question: have you ever had a patient who was also a doctor, and if so did you find yourself speaking to/treating them differently, or did you treat them just the same as you would any other patient?
I wonder if a deep yawn is the body's natural way to stimulate the vagus nerve in the same way that we consciously take a deep breath to calm ourselves down. Perhaps that's why we do it - our body hasn't had enough sleep ie it wants us to enter rest mode and catch up. Or if you overslept; enter rest mode to reset the clock. It's brain food , if anything.
Interesting
Perhaps
0:22 Thank you for picking my question! I'm glad we both learned something new!
Haha does is got shot into space😂
Doctor Mike, I was wondering: if the digestive system tends to take several hours, why is it that sometimes after eating, I almost immediately (like 30 minutes), get a bad gut reaction? Is it from an earlier meal or am I missing something?
Thank you for doing this series, I have learned a lot!
Edit (8/26/22): Thanks everyone for the replies! I want to clarify some things: First off, its not a super frequent problem that I have, especially since I started eating healthier in general two months ago, I have pretty much felt great physically. My question is specifically about why sometimes, when you eat a bad food, it seems like it causes a quick (30 minutes to a few hours) reaction in the "other end" of the gastrointestinal system. This isn't just a personal problem, its something I've heard other people talk about. Is it actually a reaction to yesterday's food?
Hi, dietitian here: a gut reaction within 30 minutes after a meal is most commonly caused by certain types of carbohydrates for which you are intolerant, like lactose or polyols. Note that this is not an allergy, but a lack of enzymes which are needed to break down those carbohydrates. Try to find a dietitian nearby that is specialized in IBS and the fodmap diet to help you find out what you are reacting to.
I would probably recommend finding someone who specializes in gastroenterology first as they are better equipped to ruling out any other possible diseases that are causing your symptoms. Just coming from someone who has worked in gastroenterology before. I do hope dr mike answers this question for you though to chip in his ideas
ask your for PCP for a GI referral because that sounds like it could be lactose intolerance, crohn's, celiac's, etc. I know people with those conditions and if they eat something "bad" the reaction is usually pretty instantaneous as well.
it can be food intolerance you aren't aware of. I had that for some time with lactose and it turned out gluten was to blame.
serious question, when you get sick is it after a meal earlier in the day or is it your first meal?
I liked the question about ‘have you ever had someone walk in with a condition you’ve never heard of before’
I’ve been to see my doctor and hospital staff and they have never heard of misophonia. They tell me to just be thankful for my good hearing but it’s not exactly a helpful thing to say, considering I don’t believe it’s actually my hearing that’s at fault.
Being a doctor that’s humble about what you know and don’t know is really helpful. I bring a huge list of bloodwork that my bariatric surgeon wants me to get annually. It’s so helpful when a doctor doesn’t act weird when I hand the list over.
A note about smoking, if you don't mind addressing it. I am not a smoker. I have never been a smoker. But I have lung problems that require a daiiy inhaler and I have to carry a rescue inhaler at all times, because I grew up around one chain smoker and one occasional smoker. Now, I am 60 years old, I don't drive, my son takes me places and he is a smoker. My lung doctor said to just tell him that when he smokes around me, it makes it hard for me to breathe. Smokers don't seem to understand that their smoking can cause health for non-smokers who need to be around them.
Genuinely, you make learning about the medical field so fun. I could listen to you talk about it for hours. You are engaging and show so much passion when you talk about the work you love. You are so awesome!
Worked on a team that created a biohazard incinerator. You have to shred the waste first to break it down. Let me tell you an industrial shredder will take just about everything you throw at them: sharps, tumors, dressings, etc. Everything except used diapers, those things suck for both nursing staff and the engineers designing the incinerators
Love doctor Mike telling everyone honesty is the best policy
Just a small thing, Dr Mike is super knowledgeable but it was great showing that he didn't know something and looked them up with us. Could have so easily done that off screen. Props for showing that everyone can learn something new every day
Hey I like the effort you put into this so thank you for everything that you have done
I believe the first question was more on the front of asking how the heart is able to continuously beat and repair itself efficiently enough that it outweighs the incessant damage to itself as a result of its contractions.
@Eric A. Because we are wonderfully made 😉
@@pmw5422 "wonderfully made"... Hah...
stem cells
@fbbWaddel For the heart stem cells are not as important as for other organs e.g. the intestine. I think they're mainly just really cool cells that live really long, becaus Evolution has developed them this way.
High school biology so I'm not sure. They're made of specialised muscle called cardiac muscle that is not vulnerable to fatigue due to the non-production of lactic acid and I'm not sure about the damage one. I think heart damage is fatal.
Absolutely spot on regarding heavy smoking and age. Ideally, we all want both quality and quantity of life, but if you have to choose (as most of us inevitably do), try your best to prioritize quality over quantity. We only get one life, and it's no fun to suffer through most of it.
Facts about that acetaminophen. My dad had horrible back pain and the doctor refused to give him a stronger painkiller and insisted he simply take a lot of Advil, and did not warn him about the potential of kidney problems, and guess what? Now he has stage 3 kidney disease. Good job doc. 🤬
My mom was a heavy smoker for about 40 years. She only stopped after she had a heart attack. She lived 4 more years after that. She passed away in 2018. I think people forget that smoking doesn’t just cause lung cancer. It also restricts blood flow and in my mom’s case, she stopped having proper blood flow to her left leg. That lead to getting a gangrene infection and ultimately amputation. She was 35 when she had her leg amputated.

I’m pregnant and have had to have multiple Dr visits. I’ve noticed that I’ve personally had interactions with at least 3 different types of nurses. My mom was an RN. Can you do a video breaking down/explaining the different “levels” of nursing?
Love these types of AMA videos. Got one for you: What is the strangest disease/medical condition you have stumbled upon?
Congratulations on 10 Million Mike! You definitely deserved a fan base of 10 Million people, and even more on different social media platforms.

Thank you for everything.

I have a question for Dr Mike:
Why does my heart randomly skip beats? Apparently this happens with other people I have spoken to, but we don't know why. Love your videos- I have learnt so much from you! Love from Australia
Thank you for talking about quality of life when speaking on long-term smoking. I worked in health insurance for many years & hearing patients needs for CPAP machines, COPD treatments and paying out of pocket for some of these devices and services becomes A LOT when your using SSI & living on a fixed income.
I love these answering questions episodes.
I got a couple.... How come when I'm lying still on my pillow, I can hear my own heartbeat?
Also, I get this weird rash on my right palm, that starts off as a small red dot and then gets bigger and bigger for a few days and then disappears. Last about a week. As it gets bigger it is hot and sometimes hurts. The doctors I've seen don't know. I do have pictures of it.
There's two "vectors" for your hearing... Exterior (where your ears capture sound waves and direct them to the ear-drum and inner ear parts like any audiology or biology/physiology class would explain...
AND INTERIOR, which is why your voice sounds so different to you when you hear yourself on an external recording as opposed to how it sounds while you're talking and just hearing yourself... When you talk, part of the sound created is also traveling through your skull, internal flesh and liquids, and directly interacting with the eardrum and inner ear, at or about the same time as sound waves can be captured and directed there via your ears... That internal part is missing on an external recording of your voice, which makes it sound "creepy" because you can still recognize your own voice, but it's "flat" or "lifeless" in comparison to your usual hearing experience...
Your whole body is mostly liquid, which transfers sound 10 to 15 times as efficiently as air. You only don't hear your heartbeat 24/7 because you're being bombarded (most of the time) by all manners of other sounds, stimuli, and distractions... Your brain also tends to ignore your own heartbeat, since it's a constant and not very useful for most activities... There are exceptions in moments of extreme distress, however, and some subject/victims/patients complain of their "heartbeat pounding in their ears"... where the distress might be to a degree that there's concern or because something "wrong" enough directs a little of the brain's attention to the heartbeat...
When you're still and laying on a pillow, your brain is "feeling denied" of stimuli. It craves stimulation, even if the rest of you CRAVES sleep... or quiet... AND it will actually quit ignoring details that it might ordinarily avoid. It can also just create stuff, imagery, intrusive thoughts, spots and flickering colors, etc... while in the state of reacting to "boredom" between when you lay down, and the "shut down" as you grow physically sleepy enough to fall asleep... which is why (especially in young children) seeing things moving in the shadows around the room is so prevalent around bedtime...
I might suggest, in regards to that rash... You see about a referral to a Dermatologist (skin-specialist)... AND if at all possible, get GOOD, HD, pic's of it that you can bring along, in case it's not readily visible... to share... try to self examine for details like dry or moist/normal textures, and scaly or blotchy appearance along with a track (maybe journal?) for any patterns of redness and swelling, keeping a timeline of the cycles from when it shows to when it goes away...
Lots of different things can cause a rash or hive... from food allergies to insect bites... sensitivity to random chemicals... even a skin lesion being mistaken as a rash... The more details you can get, the better...
Hope this helps... ;o)

You are probably allergic to something. Creams, soaps, products you use the chemicals within them. Or food allergies.
Definitely pay attention to when it happens and document what happens, then bring it up with your Dr.
@@cheryl-lynnmehring8606 I have brought it up to my doctor and he doesn't know. This time last year I ended up getting a rash out of the blue all over my body, never had this happen before, and never since, then a few months later I was diagnosed with the earliest stage breast cancer DCIS on my left side. However, before all this I had been getting this rash on my right hand that lasts for about a week every month and a half.
After my surgery, (which was February 24th of this year) I hadn't gotten it until recently again. My pharmacist is the only one who has said he thinks the rash all over my body that happened late last August (which lasted for about a month by the way) and my hand rashes are not a coincidence after being diagnosed with cancer.
about studying- its good to have a relaxed study environment, but mock tests that are similar to your testing environment are a good idea especially making sure you can do it within the time limit

Your on to something bro- this is a grade smartness
I have a question, how does one go about finding a primary care doctor? Like someone you would see regularly, someone you trust. Also love the vids
If you have insurance, I recommend starting there to see who is in your network accepting new patients. You can ask for providers jn a certain radius of your preferred location, specify if you would feel more comfortable with a male or female provider or either, do you want a family medicine, internal medicine, or another type of primary care provider, etc. Otherwise I recommend calling your local clinic and ask. Sometimes they have a welcome center or a scheduler who can help. Ask people you trust for recommendations, do a bit of research on your prospective providers and if the first provider you pick isn't a good fit, on to the next! Don't settle for uncomfortable care if you don't have to. It's not a lifetime commitment 😃
When I worked for a large health care system booking family medicine appointments, their policy was that if you have more than 3 issues you'd have to schedule at least a 30 minute appointment.
Idk if you’re gonna read this, but ima say it anyway..
I’ve previously lost my grandfather. He was a doctor and I’ve been really stressed lately, but I’ve been binging these episodes and you remind me of him and it comforts me when I’m missing him, so thank you for making these episodes..
Isn't it odd that when you're alone the worse they smell the happier you are. Almost like a sense of accomplishment lol
I hate the smell of my own farts. I can't imagine how awful it must really is to others lol.
I remember in biology class when we operated on frogs and I took the heart out and saw it still beating. I asked my bio teacher why and she said it has something to do with electricity which connects to THE POWER OF GOD hence allowing the heart to still beat outside of the body. It was her genuine answer 😭
I love how he is one of the doctors that do not think that they are the best doctor and think that they know everything

On the salt issue. For most people low salt is good. However if your sweat is very salty, and you get painful cramps after a sweaty day, then you absolutely need salt.

"The Good Place" has the best explanation of 'The Trolley Problem' I have ever seen!!!
The real question: why do hospitals smell so freaking creepy? Makes my anxiety go up as soon as I get in
I never thought of it as creepy, but the dominant smell is usually the disinfectants they use. You want bad smells, go into the patient area of an underfunded nursing home.
I think that's because our brains associate the hospital, and therefore the smell of one, with disease, sickness and death. Perhaps it's an atavistic defence mechanism that we evolved to help avoid disease and death to survive. That'd be my guess.
I think you probably had negative or anxiety inducing experiences in a hospital or doctors office before. So your brain has now subconciously linked the smell to those emotions and thus the smell triggers the anxiety.
@@theod.4861 makes sense!
Oh, for me the antiseptic smell is comforting hahaha probably personal experiences/factors

Liper_Wolf: How does the heart keep beating and beating for years and never stop?
People who had their hearts stop but survived: *laughs in chest compressions*
Great questions! Not everything is one size fits all with health related issues and I always find it fascinating how different things work better for different people. As a 3rd shift/overnight retail employee for example who sleeps in the afternoon/evening before work I utilize blackout curtains and music that helps me fall asleep and take advantage of whatever sun I can in the morning after work to make sure I’m still getting adequate levels of vitamin D. Because I walk +/-50 miles in 5 days at work unloading trucks and restocking the sales floor I also need extra water and sodium and properly fit shoes to help me stay healthy and prevent injury as well, it’s amazing the toll that retail takes on your body otherwise without that!
Doctor Mike! Could you make a video sometime about your favorite books you’ve read/listened to recently? I trust your opinions and I want to expand my reading with things I normally wouldn’t pick up!!
I had to tell someone on Twitter, who was saying how great a gluten free diet (as a non celiac) is for the body and how their doctor that didn’t recommend it actually said they were healthy, that doctors give their recommendations based on the most likely outcome. There will ALWAYS be outliers.
People who don’t get how science and medicine work shouldn’t be given scientific or medical advice, essentially.
I always feel like the trolley problem is a trick question, like if I say "save the 5" it would turn out that they were 5 murderers who would go on to kill 100 people each and the one who gets hit was a doctor about to cure cancer or something.
This question plays more with the logic-ethic balance.
If you save 1, it would be logically wrong since you killed more people...waste of human resource.
But if you save 5 people, it would mean that you 'altered the fate' of that one person who wasn't supposed to die. "You shouldn't have been the one to decide their future" (ethically wrong)
1:06 Most of moral dilemmas fail in RL, because in RL you must react at instant. In safe space of discussion people just overthinking to feel better with themselves.
"One is tragedy. Million is statistics."
Good job doctor Mike for 10M! I've been watching your channel for a while now, and you are inspiring me to become a doctor! Thank you and keep doing what your doing!
I don't understand why I like this guy so much.
2:22 - I learned about this in human anatomy. It has to do with the location of the limbic system and the olfactory bulb.
Olfactory bulb = a part above your nose and in your head that “detects smell molecules” and send those smell signals to your brain.
Limbic system = one thing it is responsible for is regulation of emotions and storage of emotional memories
- to anyone reading; have you ever noticed a smell in the room, and that smell gives you a memory of an old house or place you would visit. Or maybe you recognize the perfume of someone you love, and when you smell that perfume it gives you warm feelings and memories of being with that person. This has to do with the location of the olfactory bulb in relation to the limbic system in our brain.
Next point; the studying trick is REAL. And the reason why is because our brain tends to store emotional memories “deeper and stronger” than factual memories. When we are studying, we are memorizing a ton of facts. If you place lemons or spray a certain perfume or chew a certain flavor gum, you are activating the part of your brain that forms emotional memories; this is why it can help you remember facts you studied!!! Pretty fascinating stuff. Smell is a very emotion provoking sense. I think this part of human anatomy is what really sparked my curiosity with the brain!
The salt one.... WOOF. So relevant to me. I have had a CRAZY history with kidney stones. Some passable, others literally shutting my kidney down and requiring emergency surgery. At one point, my Urologist tells me, "welp, you're gonna have an interesting year or two, because we spotted 17 stones between both your kidneys and there's NO way to predict when they'll fall". About 5 years later, I found out I had WAAAAAAAAAAY too much sodium in my diet.
Now that I'm mindful of that, I have had ONE stone in the last two years. Things are much better. But you never expect something like salt to completely ruin 5 years of your life....
Just curious, what are some of those foods that you cut out or changes you did to limit your sodium?
I feel a sensation of "air hunger" quite a bit when either just randomly walking or working out. This feels like I can't feel my natural end to a breath, like the feeling of a full lung of air. I am a very healthy teenage athlete and don't know why i have this.
ask your doctor :)
i have this too, the doctor said my lungs were completely fine, so probably some kind of weird brain-gets-confused thing, also, when you stress about it, you get scared and that makes the problem worse haha
Doctor time. Since you are so healthy this can nix a problem in the bud before it may be a chronic issue.
Make sure to mention what you ate, when, nutrition, and if there is any sharp pain when you take the breath anyway.
1:59 OMGGGG!!!! I literally googled the science behind itching this morning and here we are Dr Mike serves!!!!
Thank you Dr Mike for all your informative content it is a pleasure and a joy to watch your videos I try to watch at least one or two everyday
Dear Doctor Mike:
I wanted to know why people tell you to take deep breaths when you have an asthma attack? it doesn't really help with my shortness of breath, pain, or wheezing. So is it suppose to help asthmetics normally?
To avoid a constricted freeze (vasovagel?) response where it induces a panic attack and fainting. To help maintain control of paced breathing as some may have adrenaline spikes from oxygen deficit / the experience. It tells the body to remain calm by a sympathetic nerve I think if I recall correctly.
Some folks do not handle the attack well, but in most cases like handling any sudden symptoms, it's best to keep awake and communication open as best as possible in case anything else goes on.
If you breathe short rapid breaths, the body naturally reacts with fight or flight /excitement and may not maintain oxygen from not extending enough.
That was wordy sorry but I hope it helps perspective! Cheers and best of health to ya
I laughed at PEN15 Cancer way more the I should have.
Your the best content creator! A doctor mike video never disappoints!
Hello, if you are going through a rough time right now don't worry it'll get better, you are strong and beautiful, if you get bullied at school or at home even you have to stand up for yourself, and I know that you will always get through the rough times I hope you took this to your advantage and be your self, a beautiful soul :)
Dr. Mike helps my conduction.
I can sleep through a smoke detector going off, trains, the alarm but once the power goes out and my fan stops I’m wide awake. 🤣
It definitely feels like I'm naturally nocturnal. Sunlight makes me tired, 'n' I'm happiest when I sleep during the day. I've been looking into delayed phase sleep disorder, but I think that it's pro'ly something else (though said something else isn't exactly scientific in any meaningful way).
I just checked your info/ carrd. Schizo kid?
@@PrestoJacobson Maybe. Currently on a waiting list to be assessed for a "probable dissociative disorder", so we'll see how that goes.

More of these please! I love these types of videos, learning a lot! Thank you Doctor Mike 😃
I dont know if you gonna see this question but give it a shot. Have you ever had Fibromyalgia patients? How did you treat/help them to feel better? I have the disease and I have pain 24/7 and I dont really get quality sleep.
My question about farts.
If someone else’s fart smells exactly like mine, are we genetically compatible? Or have the same micro biome?
Hey Doc, During my first pregnancy I started having darker spots on my face (melanine spots?). After the second pregnancy the situation is much worst. Is there anything I can do about it? Thank you so much and cheers from Zürich (Switzerland) :)
I tried explaining the fart thing to my friend a while back but she's so convinced her farts just don't smell bad. Im like 😂 dude...
Oh man I was enjoying this video so much! The more you know!! Thanks Doc
Hey Dr. Mike, pharmacist here. On top of what you said about NSAIDs, its also a waste to take aspirin + ibuprofen because the way aspirin works as a covalent inhibitor, it will acetylate one of the main residues in Cyclooxigenase (COX), which actually prevents ibuprofen from binding and working. So when you take both together, you're only getting the benefit of aspirin. But you're still geting some side effects of ibuprofen (since it is an acid and can upset the stomach a little)
4:15 photo looks like it was taken from horror movie lol
Yea it does 😮
2:47 that means I can wake up at 4 or so for 8 or 9 am exam

Watching this man is my cure of boredom
Hi Doctor Mike,
