You all have been sending me some FIRE medical TikToks, so it was time for me to clean out my inbox and do a new reaction video. Holy cow, was there a lot of good stuff in here. We talk about the Guinness Book of World Record holder for largest hands/height and popping out eyeballs, hypothermia, cartilage on the belly button, spiders in the car, hardcore braces and orthodontia, veins, and so much more. Got some TikToks you want me to react to? Send them to my producer @SamDonaldBowers and I’ll react to them in my next video!
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!

“Here’s the worst part of the story, calling my Russian angry soviet father to tell him that this happened.” 😂😂
Is like when you back home and cook you husband a reeeaaaly good diner to make him comfortable before telling him you made a tiny scratch on HIS car xD
BAHAHAHA i felt that on a personal level 🤣🤣
I nearly died 😂😭
I definitely know how Soviet parents can be ...scary! (I’m Ukrainian)
I can't blame him, I'd be the same with my angry Chinese Dad 😜
The dementia one got me. My grandfather always said he didn't remember how to speak his parents' native language, but then he'd suddenly jump up from sleep and sing fluent songs in that same language. Wild.
I have a similar spider story! I was driving when a wolf spider launched itself from the visor onto my face. There was screaming, flailing, an angry bite on a foot (mine, not his) and then a tree. Car was totaled. Not sure if he survived or not. I remember warning the EMTs about the hairy assassin as I gasped for air (full-blown asthma attack). Family and friends bring it up just like this lol Glad you survived the accident, your dad and all the laughter!
You got my like for the "mine, not his" clarification,it made me chuckle😅

Thanks for sharing your car accident story. I got into an accident that was my fault, thankfully no one was injured and damage was minor, but hearing that even a professional can make a mistake and get in a car accident helps me with the guilt I feel over my accident.
I mean... he's not a professional car driver. He's a doctor. He's also human.
my mom works at a retirement home and has some people with dementia really bad but i once went in to visit with a lady who did ceramic painting and she told me her entire life story about how she started, why, what she did when she wasn’t painting or working, things my mom couldn’t believe she could ever recall again. it was really sweet being able to listen to her talk for a long time. according to my mom she’s very quiet and doesn’t say a lot but she went on and on and on, it was beautiful.

My sister and I got into a similar car accident once right next to our house. Car was totaled but we were so scared of my Armenian Soviet dad that we didn’t call him and instead called our mom who was an hour away 😂 I’m still traumatized I feel you Dr. Mike
My father was just training me and my brothers tbh he was never scary to call since we didn't even jave the guts to say hi on the phone with him
I read it as

I asked my dog if she wanted a kitty friend and she barked at me and got down and layed in the floor with her back turned.🤣🤣🤣🤣 I think that's a no. 🤣🤣🤣. I love my over dramatic pomeranian. She could be Bears chew toy.

Thank you for the comment on underappreciated workers in the medical field, there are so many working cogs behind the scenes besides Drs and nurses that most people don't know about. I know I didn't until my sister became an RT, and I've seen the times her and her coworkers have been ignored due to not many people knowing the importance of RT
The lady who played the piano is a dementia patient, the thing is that she said she didn't know how to play that piece, but she played it almost perfectly, even though she couldn't remember it.
This is why stuff like music therapy is so fascinating to me

Like muscle memory?
@@m.c0015 yes
@Leafy Kingdom Yes, I believe she was a pianist. There are news articles about her if you want to look into her story further.
My grandma has dementia and she always says she doesn't know how to play the violin but once she holds the bow and plays she she just flows with emotions
@Sunday Girl why cus his grandma has dementia but when she holds the violin she can play it?
@@nvv2452 I think more along the lines of her mind has lost every part of her being EXCEPT her music remains! It's so ingrained in her soul even Dementia can't take it away once the violin is in her hands!
@@nvv2452 music is shown in many different studies to have actually been helpful or at least show a recognizable difference in the rate some people mentally decline with issues such as dementia.
I think this has to do with the difference between declarative memories and non-declarative memories. Declarative memories are memories of things like events and facts, while non-declarative memories are mostly things like procedural memories, such as remembering how to ride a bike, walk, play a musical instrument, etc. -- also known as "muscle memory." (You may notice that you don't have to put much thought into how to walk when you walk -- like you're not thinking about how much you should lift your foot, extend your knee, put your foot down, shift your weight, etc.) These different types of memories are encoded/stored in different ways/regions of the brain.
I'd guess that dementia mainly affects declarative memories, but doesn't affect non-declarative memories as much -- since that would explain why people with dementia can sometimes not remember the fact that they can do certain things and/or not remember the events in their life in which they learned to play and played a musical instrument, but they still can still play the instrument.
aw, i love her already

I love your spider story. It reminds me of one time my husband thought a spider was crawling on him as he was waking from a dream in the middle of the night. He jumped so fast out if bed that he smacking his head on the wall. He ended up with a mild concussion and we had to tell everyone it was because of the dream spider that tried to kill him . 😅
omg this comment deserves more attention 😂😂
I could imagine this happening to myself haha... Once woke up really panicked because i thought a spidser was crawling on my arm but i just breathed on my arm in my sleep...
@Jelly0rd1naryP3rs0n noo did you survive that? I have an intense fear of swallowing a spidser in my sleep eacth time i sleep with my mouth open (often when im sick with a stuffed nose) i get nightmares either about hundred of spiders crawling out of my mouth or im drowning in really thick slime that i cant spit out hahaha my brain love when im asleep apparently
I had a spider in my car. I pulled into a Walmart Parking lot, threw the car in park and jumped out, right in front of a cop. The cop stopped what he was doing and asked if I was ok. All I said was spider. He thanked me for putting the car in park first and went back to what he was doing laughing.
We were in a car and my friend was driving. My brother and I were in the backseat, and another friend in the passenger seat. Suddenly the car makes like 2 to 3 turns, zig zag style, and then goes diagonally nort h west and stops with the wheels just above the curb of the sidewalk. My friend gets out of the car and runs away leaving us all in there motion sick, dizzy and wondering what just happened. I thought we got into an accident but it was just a bee

I have seen non verbal, advanced stage dementia patients start to sing along to their favorite songs after working with a music therapist for some time. Its amazing to see the person they used to be, come back to life with a familiar song.
part of the reason I watch doctor mike is because he is a funny guy but also because I learn new stuff every video.I never knew that for chest compressions you needed to go 2 inches deep with a rhythm to effectively restart the heart.Thanks doctor mike!
I took care of a lady that had Alzheimer's and back in her prime, she was an organist and they had this huge pipe organ in their house and most days it was just decoration but some days she'd play it, like she never stopped and it always amazed me how she could play a whole hymn but didn't know what a fork was
Ok so can you please make more since out of that please
Okay... Basically there's two kinds of memory, and thus two ways the brain stores it...
1... Episodic Memory... It's how you remember a particular place you went and what you did there... Like that one time your school took you on a field trip to the museum and you got to see a really rare exhibit that doesn't go on tour anymore... AND you can still remember some of the most interesting and fun details the guide lady told you about it... That's an example of Episodic Memory... Basically a snap-shot or short experience clip from your life...
2. Procedural Memory... This is how you develop skills and habits, both for better and for worse. It's created through actions and study and reinforced by repetitions... Learning to tie your shoes, how to walk (because it's not just ingrained instinct or programming), read or write, and other skills you pick up throughout your life all fall into procedural memory. The more you repeat those skills, task by task and step by step, properly, the less effort it takes to think about them and repeat them, because the neural pathways get "reinforced" with more such pathways over time and repetitions... This is also where the neuro-scientists agree that NOT all practice is necessarily created equal and only GOOD practice will actually build your skills. If you slack off on the procedures, excusing poor quality practice with "Well, that's good enough, because I'm trying."... You can unintentionally create the pathways and then reinforce them for slop and bad habits in the skill...
Just like you don't think very much about walking (for instance) because you've done so much of it in your life, it's still in procedural memory in your brain... It's just so often used that you've got such an information freeway for it that there's almost no conscious effort at all... Likewise, when someone really religiously practices an instrument or some other skill until they've truly mastered it, they don't really have to consciously think about it either... Frequently, someone with dimentia can sign their own name (if you can read their handwriting, of course) even if they've deteriorated to a degree that they can't even verbally tell you their actual name...
In the case of the vid' and O.P.'s story, such practice was the case. Both people had practiced so much as to create the kind of skill that requires no actual thought, but they simply act on instinct and feel of their instrument...
It's a bit of a misconception that it's "muscle memory" because muscles don't have the neural capacity to have any memories. All memories are still stored and accessed in the brain... BUT Alzheimers most directly attacks the Episodic Memory center... It still destroys the Procedural, but not nearly at the rate that it diminishes the Episodic... ;o)
@@kayleighkelley5129 can you try to spell “sense” instead of “since”, because you’re not really making any “ sense” right now.
@@gnarthdarkanen7464 there is also the semantic memory which is memoring facts such as the capital of France or England or the date of the Battle of Hastings.
@@nomichaelnothatwassonotrig5380 That's still debatable... Arguably it fits with "Episodic" such as remembering reading about the Capital of France or the Battle of Hastings... a snapshot of your life...
It could also fit into "Procedural" involving studies and repeating the act of looking at or reciting the facts around the Capital of France or the Battle of Hastings to reinforce those information paths...
There's admittedly still a lot we don't all together "get" about memory... SO I'm not discounting or dismissive of "Semantic" memory... Smarter and more studied people than me are still arguing about where and how it all "fits together"...
AND such is why the current thinking from Neuroscientists suggests that the best forms of study involve not just reading and re-reading notes... but re-arranging the words of questions to force independent "recall" of details so you build upon and reinforce the information paths in your brain and literally "learn to think" more efficiently about a subject, rather than just imprint flimsy, single indexes to any given "factoid" you've managed to gather...
In any case, appreciate the addendum, too... It's a debate we can share in this thread just as well. ;o)
My uncle knows a man who knows literally nothing about himself or anyone in his life- he just has a very short memory or something. But when they bring him to a piano he plays amazingly.
Memento
Wow
@Dazed Loc Momento Mori
@Dazed Loc Momento Mori
Could be wrong, but I believe that’s called Retrograde Amnesia, where there’s a problem with processing memories into long term storage so they can only last a little bit in short term memory
my brother was a nurse on the covid floor. he left nursing because it was stressful but im still proud of him.
Muscle memory is such a cool thing. It’s been over 10 years since I’ve been on drumline and I still remember solos and parts of half time shows that I practice the most.
“The worst part was calling my angry soviet father to tell him”

I have that only with my Russian mother. I swear every time I get a phone call I near have a heart attack haha. But I love her.
I have a client with Alzheimer’s, she was diagnosed over 10 years ago. Most of the time she makes little sense, but she has a beautiful singing voice.
I am curious. If she sings about something can she sing and speak clearly? Similar to how people with a stutter can sing words instead and be clearly spoken? W/could that work?
Lizz Alkula My grandfather has Alzheimer's and by now most of his ability to make coherent sentences is completely gone. His ability to hum and sing along to songs were one of the last things to go. For some fun reason he will still swear and giggle after. Lol
My Dad has Alzheimer's, he talks a lot of nonsense and has trouble getting started if he thinks about it, but he can still play guitar.
@@lizzalkula376 yes, she sings real songs. Mostly Hymns. Very clearly!
@@prestagraber1145 thank you for replying. But I was meaning more conversational. For example would she be able to ask/answer better if the conversation was in a sing-y tone of voice?

That girl with the blue lips is pretty much every little kid at the pool in the summer.
Mom: come out and warm up! Your lips are blue!
Kid: B-b-b-but I'm n-n-not c-c-c-coooooldddd * shivers violently *
Unless you live somewhere in the mid or northern parts of the world (northern hemisphere) or opposite (southern hemisphere)... then you're wrong. As a southerner from the US, pools are literally NEVER cold in the summer here. In my area, summers get as hot as 110 Fahrenheit and pools will feel about 30-35 degrees cooler AT MOST (unless it is in deep shade).
Also, side note, I go up on commercial building roofs a lot and summer makes those white, reflective roofs feel like 150-165 degrees. -- (by reflective, I mean light colors reflecting hwaf like how darks colors do the opposite and absorb heat).
I just commented that-
But true-
Yeah, I live in the Northeast of the US, and I will admit that I was that kind of kid.

I'm a massage therapist & definitely find face massage is super important for anyone who suffers from headaches & migraines.
Often, people clench 😬 or grind their teeth, making the neck into shoulders tight, which causes headache & migraine. Sometimes I can get through a whole massage & the face is the most relieving area for clients 😬 I'll ask in beginning do you clench or grind & it's usually something they aren't aware of. Wanted to see you in Philadelphia on the 20th it says sold out. Hope your tour goes amazing & stay safe always ❣️
You are the coolest person ever Dr. Mike! Great content and info.
I have a hypothesis as to why medical dramas never do chest compressions. It seems like faking chest compressions while making them look realistic would be very difficult, and doing real chest compressions to someone who doesn't need them can cause significant harm.
Use a dummie and CGI it lol
@@ChakraDragons It might not be that easy, i don't know because I don't do stuff like that, but It might not be as easy as it seems.

My mother was a respiratory therapist, and she said it was one of the most under-appreciated and disrespected professions she's seen. Almost everywhere she worked, the RT department got treated poorly, so I appreciate the shout out, not only to RTs but to nurses and techs as well.
My mother tells the same stories! Being raised by her, I personally think RTs are the coolest. But then again, that may just be strong bias XD

Fun fact: my grandpa had Dextrocardia. He was also a bit of a jokester, so he always thought it was hilarious when the nurses couldn't figure out why their machines weren't giving them proper readings.
He loved to tell the story of one day when he had a particularly headstrong nurse who wouldn't listen when he tried to tell her that he had this condition. She kept insisting she knew how to hook up the machine for the test, so he decided to stop arguing with her. Fast forward to a later date and the doctor comes in to go over the results:
"Uhh... Mr Black, are you feeling ok?"
"Feeling great doctor. Is something wrong?"
"Well, according to these results... You're dead."
I'm not a doctor, I'm a medical social worker who mostly works with senior adults and adults with disabilities. I had this one client with mod-severe dementia and he couldn't remember people's names, but he could play tons of song on the piano from memory! The brain and its physiology are so amazing and interesting!
I just wanted to say that Dr. Mike hit home with the musical dementia patient. My mom has Alzheimer's (dementia) she doesn't know who I am now. But throughout her horrible decline she has always and I mean ALWAYS remembered her songs. It's a 70/30 gospel and oldies with a lil mix of 80s and 90s r&b. I love my mom so much. She is still living but I miss her.
I used to work with a guy who was forgetting how to speak and walk. The way I’d get him to go from room to room was I’d play “the girl from Ipanema” on my phone. He would sing along and sway and eventually pick up his feet and dance to the music. Then I could just guide him where he needed to go. Music is absolutely vital for anyone working in memory care.
I know the feeling of losing my mom to Alzheimers and dementia, before losing her to death. It hurts, it's frightening, and I sincerely hope it gets better for you soon.
Dementia is really tragic. Everyone with it ends up passing away eventually, I pray for your mother.
@@vesnakutricki832 Yeah I researched that, very unfortunate. There's no cure or treatment for it yet, if you have dementia. Your basically left in the dark..

My grandfather was a dentist and my mom worked in the front office. If you go in you’ll notice all of them have really nice, white teeth. It’s part of advertising the business. If the people working there have nice teeth, you’ll surely have nice teeth in the end too!

LMAO YESS
Yeah
My favorite thing is when you do a little motion with your hand to indicate kitty and Bear looks over to see it 😍 😆
I know this is an old video, but I have worked with a lot of people with dementia and that can totally happen. I don't know what it is with music but it seems like that is always the last thing to go. I have been in the hospice house with a client, within days of their passing, and they will still react to music. The brain is truly a magnificent thing.
Two things
1) THANK YOU FOR MENTIONING THE PHARMACY. I worked in a hospital inpatient pharmacy for a while and honestly it was kind of disheartening how we were treated.
2) in response to that spider story, my aunt found a spider in her car while she was driving (she has arachnophobia) and she flipped her car. Three times. Miraculously she was basically unharmed. First thing my dad asked, “well did you kill the spider at least?”
Spiders in cars are certainly no joke. Some people I knew in high school were killed because they rolled the car when the passengers in the back were panicking over a spider. Really glad your aunt survived. (Also kudos to your dad, 10/10 dark humour dad joke).
God I hope the spider is dead and in the video i would do the same thing I don't do spiders not matter how big or small
I'm just imagining bein' a spider, cruisin' along, mindin my own business, when suddenly the car I've made my home turns into a laundry spin cycle. "WHOOoooOOOOAaaaaaAAHHH!"
Legend has it, the spider is still out there...somewhere...
I know! I'm a technician in a retail pharmacy, and no one ever remembers us!
As a lab tech, who literally no one ever remembers or knows what I do, you have no idea how thrilled I am that you gave us a shout-out first on that nurse appreciation tiktok 🤣🤣
I appreciate you!
Ayyye med lab over here 🙌
Bro I felt the same way I felt happy
My moms an RT if i tell people that they go
WhAaAaT iS tHaT
Aaaaayyyy! Thank you!
Not only do you take all of my bodily fluids away from me, but you do it to make sure I'm healthy and to help the other medical staff figure out what's going on.
And you get to deal with all of the lovely stuff in the ED too! 😣
You're all awesome humans!
Not Bear listening SO INTENTLY. I CAN'T. Someone do chest compressions, I'm dying of cuteness. 💀😍
I can totally relate to your spider story, Mike!! It's like you were telling a story from my book hahah
"DID THEY MAKE HIM A POKÉMON CARD?!?!?!?!?"
the pure joy i love it
And then the disappointment when he realized it wasn't 😔
SOMEBODY PLS MAKE HIM A POKEMON CARDDDDDDD
Yeah that was kinda cute 🥰
Do you possibly know the name of the song that's played there ?
If Dr. Mike doesn't get Bear a kitten I will be heart broken. BEAR DESERVES A KITTY FRIEND
Yeah, I agree with you. Petition to Dr. Mike for getting a kitty cat for Bear
@@gamercatswonderland9322 all in favor say I. I
@@juniperbliss4815 I.
@@gamercatswonderland9322 Id be scared he'd eat the kitten. He seems well trained, but you never know with animals.
@@ellybean7354 But if Bear doesn’t know what a kitty is it is likely that he will be soft and curious about it more than harsh to the tiny being
Thank you for your respect for nurses🙏💋❤️
Dr Mike talking to Bear is everything. 🥰

As a human biologist, it's always been fascinating how different parts of the brain have these unique functions. The pituary gland influences our growth through growth hormones and in the hippocampus we find cells which tells us where we are positioned. Then very close we can find the suprachiasmatic nucleus which controls our sleep and appetite and if we lose that then we cannot sleep properly anymore (I just made a video about this). It's so cool how different brain regions got their unique abilities!
As a human, I agree
I do too
And atheists still say that we dont have a creator. Like how can such a complex system can just be formed over the course of millions of years.

Mike really loves chest compression. A big shout out for chest compression 😂😂
I love how when we watch his vids he always gives us education most of the time anyways i love ur vids
Yeah my daughter has a tumour on her pituitary gland, she’s had it removed once, but it grew back after surgery. It’s caused Cushings which causes gigantism. It breaks my heart. But she had a miracle baby last year after being told she probably won’t. ❤️
congratulations!!! 🥺 Must have been hard on all of you. It was crushing for my mom when she tried to have a baby before having me.
there is another common acronym we use a lot in emergencies/OTs:
SOB: Shortness of Breath
but it can be mistaken for a slang in outer environment as Son Of B**ch
In my hospital shortness of great his know as SOB1 and Son of a b℅℅ch as SOB2
"Is the patient experiencing SOB?"
"Well, I mean, they cursed at me, but I don't think they're that bad..."
im in emt school and i read it as both simultaneously, and giggle every time XD

On a different perspective, I now find medical dramas to be hilarious! Thanks doc! 😂
3:06 this part made me smile bc I heard my mom's job in there
You can't ruin medical dramas for me. My parents did that when I was a child. Now I just laugh at them.
Me too. My father is a pharmacist with lots of doctor Friends so he would just explain everytime lol
Yup me too!
Dr. Mike’s dog “bear” proves his Russian roots 😂
Omg yesss👁👄👁❤️
Yaaaaaaaaassss
Nah then he would name him “Mishka” which in Russian, translates to “bear” I know bc my cat is named mishka
I work in a retirement home, and there was a lady who could hardly talk, but she could play piano beautifully. It seemed to make her happy,too.
As a care aide who's cared for a lot of elderly people, most with some degree of dementia, and with various degrees of memory loss, I've seen what can happen when a person's shown something they used to love and have a passion for. Musicians, as well as those who just love music but don't play an instrument or sing, are brought back to times when their memories are intact. People who used to paint or draw, when encouraged to do so again, have still shown skill in this and their muscle memory for these talents come back, even briefly, and I've seen some incredible art created as a result.
Something else that has helped is giving baby dolls or stuffed animals to some people.
Some women I've known cared for their dolls as if they were their own children and some memories came back to them, as they did with those who were animal lovers and given stuffed pets that resembled beloved pets from their past.
But the one thing I've seen work more than anything else is music. You just have to find the right kind for each individual because not everyone likes the same stuff.
I started working as a care aide in the '90s, and in the home I first worked in, most of the seniors had a strong Christian faith. So most of the music programmes were filled with songs of faith. Some other music was also whatever was popular back in the early 20th century or so.
Now people in my dad's age group (he's 82) are in these places, as well as the oldest baby boomers. So music in care homes has changed a lot overall. There are still hymns, of course, but now I'm seeing people who grew up with the sams music that my parents did in the 1940s and 1950s, as well as later.
Also, food has changed, but that's something for another time.
Years ago I worked in a nursing home with mostly dementia patients. Whenever they had music night some of the non-verbal/immobile residents would begin signing or dancing to their favorite music. it was truly a beautiful sight 🙂
@@phallo it really is beautiful to see that, isn't it? :)
It always amazes me when I ever hear a doctor use medical terms because the terms mostly come from Greek (and my first language is Greek). That way I can know exactly what a medical term means in English, while to English people it sounds like gibberish. And then someone asks me “Are you a medical student?” “No, I’m Greek.” 😂👍
oh right, hence why the corona virus variations are all Greek letters, for example
@@NickRoman and physics units!
Similarly, once in class my teacher asked how to spell something and I said "It sounds Latin" and spelled it for him. He looked it up and I spelled it correctly so he asked if I knew Latin and I was just like "No, but knowing where words come from helps you spell them"

Everyone laughed at his story "I'm not telling that story anymore" still proceeds to tell everyone the story haha
Coming back to this video, with knowlede my grandad gave me, thats actually metal shavings from a metal grinder. Magnets are used to remove them from skin, its also very painful but will remove the metal from anywhere its lodged.
I wasn't a part of this scenario. But my best friends mom fainted and went into cardiac arrest (where the heart completely stops) and luckily someone was around immediately to do those CHEST COMPRESSIONS and it literally saved her life. She would have died 100% if that wasn't done.
My grandmother had dementia and was in her 90’s she played the organ and even though she couldn’t remember what she did 10 minutes ago, she could still play all the hymns she played in church by memory.
It is called muscle memory
@@ravza1382 no,its not muscle memory. For pianists, muscle memory only helps to find the keys.
Remembering the pattern in which the keys should be played in a song and with which rhythm and at what time with what chords is all mental memory(i'm talking from experience)
Ps. Its great that your grandma could do that I can't remember what my piano teacher taught me last week LOL.
@@vijayarani2562 actually it is muscle memory i hadnt played fur elise in like 2 years and i suddenly got reminded of it and played it and it was all in the correct order!
@@prachiprallubdhakar Yeah, but that's the memory in your brain. He even explained it in the video that there are different brain parts for conscious memory and for musical memory.
when i worked in a nursing home, we had a piano in the lounge that residents could whenever they would like. one of our residents, she was a sweet woman. she was quite a bit younger than most of our residents, but she was very very confused sometimes even more than our older residents. she didn't come out of her room super often, but when she did, she always loved to play the piano in the lounge. she attracted quite a few residents who would immediately park themselves in the lounge or stop outside on their way down the hall just to listen to her play. the nurses station was also directly across from the lounge, so often she would come down and tell us she wanted to play for us. she loved to play for us and for other residents who loved to sit and listen to her play. although she could not quite remember where she was, who she was, or what was going on most of the time, something she always remembered was her love for playing the piano and her love for playing for everyone around her. telling this story actually made me quite emotional as i don't work in that facility anymore. i miss every resident there even the ones i didnt get to spend as much time with due to their passing or because i wasnt assigned to them very often. they were all a big part of my life. it's something i never thought about when taking this job, but i miss them all and will forever wonder how their life is going and hope they are doing well.
