I'm never leaving Tumblr. I've been on there since 2010 and it's been a neverending source of hilarity, actual knowledge about things, and it's hands down the best place for fandoms, other than fanfiction sites.

Yes, medical leeches are a thing. Sometimes we do need to actually use them for bloodletting for various purposes. If someone has arthritis, we may use leeches to increase blood flow to joints. Or we use them to improve or restore delicate veins after tissue reattachment. In other words, modern leeches aren’t used as the cure-all anymore. Far from it. They have a very specific job: promoting blood circulation to a specific area

They have blood thinners and antipain stuff in their salavia cause they need to stealth drink your blood. Nowadays it's more just useful for comfort reasons.
Medical leeches are used to remove the blood pooling into limbs that have been surgically reattached, until normal blood flow is re established. So far, they do a much better job of it than any any other procedure that have been tried.
Leech saliva contains a powerful blood thinner. It's actually very useful for things such as re-attaching severed fingers because it increases blood circulation in the area and therefore promotes the speed at which the wound can heal.

3:44 I know they're used to treat certain abscesses. I remember watching a show on the old Discovery Health channel and saw them treat a patient with a huge abscess on their arm. The whole Flexor pollicis longus was a dark purple. Pretty jarring when you're 12.
14:56 Tottely true, I have ADHD And i treid to clean my room, had to eat when i was half-way done, Lived with a half clean room for the next year of something
5:32 I cannot stop thinking about this, because it may sound like something straight up from some Furaffinity stories where Inflatable furry become sentient and wanted it's own owner to be inside and never leave it, or even turn this Florida man into a living inflatable Lugia and have to spend the rest of his life as a inflatable lugia (And that horny laparas was just a Cherry on top of that insane pokemon furry cake)
yes there are still medical leeches, there not used often cause there not useful often but i do have a couple examples there is a condition where fluid build up under the skin, its pretty grotesque, since leeches have a coagulent in there saliva its very convenient to just use a bunch of leeches instead of syringes to suck the fluid out, another use case is appearntly this one guy had a piece of his ear cut off (don't ask me how) it was bleeding prefusely so they used a leech to suk the blood out of the ear persistantly whcih along with the couagulent, reduced the bleeding enough and gave them enough time to reattach the ear blood vestles and all as they were no longer obscured by excessive bleeding.
14:03 When I was a kid I was always very calm but the thing is I always did the same bad things the "bad" kids did, I had no inhibitions and would gladly go along with anything. I just feigned ignorance afterwards and it somehow always worked. Never had detention or anything like it. In fact I was designated something like a safe buddy for trouble kids, I was to hang out with them on extra field trips that only they got and whatnot. It was a sweet gig! Maybe my (much later diagnosed) autism gave me a decent poker face or something.
18:56 Happened to me as well. I took Spanish the entire time i was in high school and then switched to Japanese while I was in college. I was in Japan, at a Japanese university, trying to speak with a girl I had met at a party the night before. She was Asian. She did not speak Japanese. The name of the school was the Nagasaki College of Foreign Languages. Perhaps she was one of the many Chinese or Koreans that attended the school to learn English. Nope. It turns out that I had conversed with her in Spanish at the party the night before. 🤯
Leeches expand blood vessels and prevent clotting to keep your blood flowing so they can eat it. Some types of injury can get worse because of blood clots and blood vessels constricting excessively. Sticking clean leeches to a patient right next to one of those injuries will stop it from getting worse before it heals.
I actually read the connect the dots poem really fast. Guess all those years of obsessively counting words (usually as left and right, but sometimes in numbers as well) in sentences/paragraphs prepared me for this moment!

What a wonderful surprise to first see an Emkay video on r/Tumblr, but it multiplied my joy tenfold when I heard Lexi's majestic voice 🌺⌨💜✨🦄 ✨💜🖱🌺 Got a bit real at 2:10! The catsofyore post on George feels like the US Navy crew member might have been a time traveler with how their humor seems to be ripped from modern days &/or the near future 🤔 The "bucketed preschool escapee"/"bucket o' pre-k runaway" @ 13:18 has very undiagnosed AuDHD vibes, so I'm sure many neurodivergent relate to OP. My own undiagnosed AuDHD brain was more in the "can entertain herself with a rock or 2 for an hour" phase of my life. Now I can't eat without watching a UA-cam video & need 4 HR cracking clay ASMR or PM Seymour going to sleep. Also, I am very much on the inattentive side, along with being predisposed to shut down rather than meltdown, so if they chastised me, I would have just zoned out & stared at a wall. I hadn't even developed maladaptive daydreaming during my shut downs or the sudden overwhelming need to sleep when I was overwhelmed so early in my education yet! 14:56 is 100% reality, though by the time I was diagnosed with ADHD, I already had multiple chronic pain disabilities, so that was how I experienced my first day on both ADHD stims and adequate pain meds!
I tried a similar bucket thing as a 5yr old while in the middle of the pentagon and somehow got within 5 feet of the exit, which might I add, required me to sneak and sprint past the literal secret service, fbi agents, and diplomatic security. I was a miniature James Bond
13:45 I'm just wondering why it took the teacher(s) so long to notice that the kid in the bucket was gone. Were they just not paying any amount of attention? I feel like a 4/5 year old in a plastic bucket wouldn't be moving that fast.
3:02 I know when they said “China’s national treasure” they were referring to pandas, but I read that immediately as them referring to Jack Black as a national treasure

Or to put it another way, Carrie was the Psychic equivalent of a Nuclear Bomb detonating...if you were anywhere near her when she went off, you are FUCKED!!! 😄😁😆😅😂🤣
15:40 yeah ...... I complained to my doc about concentration issues .... and I got antidepressants for anxiety They did change my life though! Never before starting the antidepressants did i experience nosebleeds
I- Well, unfortunately, all antidepressants have side effects. Have you tried asking for a lower dosage? Or changing completely? Depending on what you prefer, your work and reality, other side effects might be easier to deal with. I.e. some antidepressants give tremors. You wouldn't really want that if your job requires you to be precise. Mine give me nightmares and cold sweats, but it's the one I tolerate best out of all the ones I tried before. And I have other medications to help with that as well. My point is, you can ask your doctor for changes and review your treatment any time you want. It's YOUR treatment. And if they don't take your needs seriously, find a better doctor. Adhd shares a lot of common symptoms with depression and anxiety, it also fuels them. You can ask for a proper diagnosis and seek treatment for add/adhd AND anxiety/depression if necessary. If the root of the problem is add/adhd, it would certainly help to treat it. If you believe your doctor isn't thorough about it or for any reason disagree, you can seek help elsewhere. 2 professional opinions are better than 1. And finally, good luck!
thing is that here in Croatia the Healthcare system i in shambles because everyone who knew anything about medicine left the country @@Pancakes4CamPlz FFS I told the psychiatrist SPECIFIC problems I have. I lose focus while fucking driving and i almost caused SEVERAL accidents ..... The response I got was basically this: "Psh, naaaah you don't have concentration problems, you can memorize 7 shapes in a row! Yes I know you just described your coping mechanism on how you do it but that just proves you're smart" How do I have faith in a system which lets a person like that prescribe mind altering drugs?!
@PeoplecallmeLucifer okay wtf. That's what I like to call an ''unprofessional health professional''. I see how you would lose faith in this system. Is there really no way someone else could take charge of your health? I consulted a psychiatrist for severe depression. The ASSHOLE TRIED TO SET ME UP WITH HIS KIDS!!! MID-CONSULT!! I found someone else since then, but some people should have their license revoked. I really hope things turn out better for you. You deserve proper help.
I had a teacher (2nd grade, and she already loved bothering me) constantly complain that I was falling asleep in class (I have insomnia, sleep apnea, and anemia). My mom sat in the class one day to see what was going on. She struggled to stay awake as well and told the teacher that she was too boring, so of course, I would fall asleep. Woman was just talking to a group of kids, in a cold room, with little to no engagement and expected no one to fall asleep. Especially not the one with sleep problems and ADHD that she was well aware of because there had been conversations between her, my mom, and the principle about it.
You know what props to your mom not just for the sass but to go the extra mile of sitting in to check things out. I wish all parents were this attentive to their children.
My grandfather served on the USS North Carolina. Unfortunately, he was taken by cancer so I can't ask him about George. He probably would have had some interesting stories.
4:00 as one of our clients is a pharmacy that has leeches in their product spectrum, yes, they are used for medical reasons. They nicknamed them "Luigi(s)" and have an extra sign on the door of the room they are kept in that says "please turn off the lights when they're not needed, our Luigis prefer to stay in the dark" ^^
6:49 most of us has periods for about a Week every month not just one time or one day sploosies so if we take that from the year span of 15-55(around 40years) we spend about 10 years nonstop bleeding and most of it in pain so Yeah we'd be Damned if we dont try to at least make it fun if we can.
medical leeches are actually still used by the nhs today!! the same with maggots for necrosis. leeches are wonderful for what they're used for because they create their own anaesthetic and create anticoagulants from their saliva as they feed.
While black holes are grim reminders of a star that died remember kids every black hole has a white hole that spews out crap just as fast and we have absolutely no idea how those are formed
Sterile leaches are very good for keeping blood from pooling from subdermal bleeding. Sterile maggots are very good for removing necrotic flesh when placed in a wound. There are a few other creatures that can be used in medicine. Dogs, Obviously, can be used for heart problems. But did you know they can detectblood sugar levels and even MIGRAINES!? Cats are also able to sense toxin levels in blood if kidneys fail. Animals are amazing.
Medical leeches are used to remove blood from areas where an injury has caused blood to collect and not circulate back into the system. Basically helping to restore circulation, it can also reduce the chance of necrosis for extremely damaged areas of tissue by literally sucking blood to the area. Maggots ate carefully counted, put on to a wound with dead tissue, which is bandaged closed and then removed after a few days and the maggots counted again. This allows the injury to heal more effectively and helps prevent further infection caused by the rotting tissue.
3:59 Yes there are! Medical leeches are sanitized and grown in a lab, and we use that to out advantage to cure severe frostbite, as leeches will suck blood into the affected area trying to get the blood themself. This works because the area affected by severe frostbite would be deprived of blood until the blood is circulated by anything that can circulate it, such as leeches.
"Yes I was one of those people" Yeah, me too. I was in like, grade 2, found Pi in a book to 50 digits, and memorized it cause I was bored one day. Still remember it to the 26th place. Nowadays though, I can't even remember my own phone number.
10:19 The words in an acronym don't affect the pronunciation of the acronym. If they did, then "Scuba" should be pronounced "Skuh-bah" since the U in "Underwater," is pronounced "Uh," not "Oo." The A in "Laser" is another example.
@VeraBrightfeather It sounds more natural to you because you already pronounce it that way, not because of any inherent property of the hard G sound. And also, the guy who created and named the file format said it's pronounced with a soft G, and if anyone has the ability to give a definite ruling it's him. Stay mad about it.
@VeraBrightfeatherThis is almost exactly my reason for pronouncing it with a "G." (The main difference being that my main association with "Jif" is a cleaning agent. (That has since changed its name, but you tend not to adapt to changes to stuff from your childhood that you don't really engage with...))
Official pronunciation is with a soft G. Common pronunciation is with a hard G. It came about because people guessed how to say it. Language evolves. Just like Dr. Seuss officially rhymes with voice. People commonly pronounce it as if it rhymes Zeus. Mr. Geisel apparently initially corrected people. He should know how to pronounce his own name- it’s his middle name, from his mother’s maiden name. I heard he eventually gave up correcting people. Language evolves. But it really must suck having people tell you you pronounce your own name wrong, especially when it comes from your mother’s family name. (Oh, and as a side note, the creator of GIF said he chose soft G for pronouncing it so it intentionally sounds like the peanut butter brand Jif because of the tag line, so he could say, “Choosy developers choose GIF”.)
10:19 I've never really gotten this argument. In what world is the pronunciation of an acronym determined by how those letters are pronounced in the constituent words? Although imagining Laser being pronounced "lasser" is giving me a good laugh : )
that time-out bucket post 13:18 - 14:02 the fact that OP, a child in a bucket, managed to get into the parking lot scooting the whole way there, is a clear sign of neglect. i've scooted in a bucket as a child and just to go down 10 feet takes a good amount of time, nearly 10 minutes. OP had to clear at least two door frames and one of them was a frame for the outdoors. thats hard. and the kid never left the bucket. OP was in that bucket for 30 minutes before they started to scoot to freedom and i will bet money that it took them a further 30 minutes to get as far as they did. and it took the teachers that long to realize they were gone and to find them? yeah, that school is really lucky that OP's mom didn't sue them for neglect and child endangerment. those teachers were shit

The Germans mapped it a Yuh sound, the french to a jay and the Spanish to a hah, etc. the only times that English doesn't pronounce j as jay is in loan words like fjord or jalapeno.

Leeches help with blood that pools under the skin after skin grafts. They remove the blood and release enzymes that help the healing process.

yes there are still medical leeches, there not used often cause there not useful often but i do have a couple examples there is a condition where fluid build up under the skin, its pretty grotesque, since leeches have a coagulent in there saliva its very convenient to just use a bunch of leeches instead of syringes to suck the fluid out, another use case is appearntly this one guy had a piece of his ear cut off (don't ask me how) it was bleeding prefusely so they used a leech to suk the blood out of the ear persistantly whcih along with the couagulent, reduced the bleeding enough and gave them enough time to reattach the ear blood vestles and all as they were no longer obscured by excessive bleeding.
14:03 When I was a kid I was always very calm but the thing is I always did the same bad things the "bad" kids did, I had no inhibitions and would gladly go along with anything. I just feigned ignorance afterwards and it somehow always worked. Never had detention or anything like it.
In fact I was designated something like a safe buddy for trouble kids, I was to hang out with them on extra field trips that only they got and whatnot. It was a sweet gig!
Maybe my (much later diagnosed) autism gave me a decent poker face or something.
18:56 Happened to me as well. I took Spanish the entire time i was in high school and then switched to Japanese while I was in college. I was in Japan, at a Japanese university, trying to speak with a girl I had met at a party the night before. She was Asian. She did not speak Japanese. The name of the school was the Nagasaki College of Foreign Languages. Perhaps she was one of the many Chinese or Koreans that attended the school to learn English. Nope. It turns out that I had conversed with her in Spanish at the party the night before. 🤯

Leeches expand blood vessels and prevent clotting to keep your blood flowing so they can eat it. Some types of injury can get worse because of blood clots and blood vessels constricting excessively. Sticking clean leeches to a patient right next to one of those injuries will stop it from getting worse before it heals.

I actually read the connect the dots poem really fast. Guess all those years of obsessively counting words (usually as left and right, but sometimes in numbers as well) in sentences/paragraphs prepared me for this moment!
Though nowadays I’ve managed to tone to down to whole sentences instead (except when they’re short), it so much more friendly on the brain too.

The "bucketed preschool escapee"/"bucket o' pre-k runaway" @ 13:18 has very undiagnosed AuDHD vibes, so I'm sure many neurodivergent relate to OP. My own undiagnosed AuDHD brain was more in the "can entertain herself with a rock or 2 for an hour" phase of my life. Now I can't eat without watching a UA-cam video & need 4 HR cracking clay ASMR or PM Seymour going to sleep. Also, I am very much on the inattentive side, along with being predisposed to shut down rather than meltdown, so if they chastised me, I would have just zoned out & stared at a wall. I hadn't even developed maladaptive daydreaming during my shut downs or the sudden overwhelming need to sleep when I was overwhelmed so early in my education yet!
14:56 is 100% reality, though by the time I was diagnosed with ADHD, I already had multiple chronic pain disabilities, so that was how I experienced my first day on both ADHD stims and adequate pain meds!
I tried a similar bucket thing as a 5yr old while in the middle of the pentagon and somehow got within 5 feet of the exit, which might I add, required me to sneak and sprint past the literal secret service, fbi agents, and diplomatic security. I was a miniature James Bond
13:45 I'm just wondering why it took the teacher(s) so long to notice that the kid in the bucket was gone. Were they just not paying any amount of attention? I feel like a 4/5 year old in a plastic bucket wouldn't be moving that fast.

5:55 The problem with that belief is the idea that Carrie was careful in the use of her powers when in actual fact, she was WILDLY Indiscriminate in her destruction...she was Bullied by only a small handful of people and yet, when she went off the deep end, she killed all but 3 or 4 of the people at the Prom and then went on to kill a huge number of Innocent people in the town as she walked home destroying buildings left and right as she passed them...
Or to put it another way, Carrie was the Psychic equivalent of a Nuclear Bomb detonating...if you were anywhere near her when she went off, you are FUCKED!!!

15:40 yeah ...... I complained to my doc about concentration issues .... and I got antidepressants for anxiety
They did change my life though!
Never before starting the antidepressants did i experience nosebleeds
I-
Well, unfortunately, all antidepressants have side effects. Have you tried asking for a lower dosage? Or changing completely?
Depending on what you prefer, your work and reality, other side effects might be easier to deal with. I.e. some antidepressants give tremors. You wouldn't really want that if your job requires you to be precise.
Mine give me nightmares and cold sweats, but it's the one I tolerate best out of all the ones I tried before. And I have other medications to help with that as well.
My point is, you can ask your doctor for changes and review your treatment any time you want. It's YOUR treatment. And if they don't take your needs seriously, find a better doctor.
Adhd shares a lot of common symptoms with depression and anxiety, it also fuels them. You can ask for a proper diagnosis and seek treatment for add/adhd AND anxiety/depression if necessary. If the root of the problem is add/adhd, it would certainly help to treat it. If you believe your doctor isn't thorough about it or for any reason disagree, you can seek help elsewhere. 2 professional opinions are better than 1.
And finally, good luck!
thing is that here in Croatia the Healthcare system i in shambles because everyone who knew anything about medicine left the country @@Pancakes4CamPlz
FFS I told the psychiatrist SPECIFIC problems I have. I lose focus while fucking driving and i almost caused SEVERAL accidents .....
The response I got was basically this:
"Psh, naaaah you don't have concentration problems, you can memorize 7 shapes in a row! Yes I know you just described your coping mechanism on how you do it but that just proves you're smart"
How do I have faith in a system which lets a person like that prescribe mind altering drugs?!
@PeoplecallmeLucifer okay wtf. That's what I like to call an ''unprofessional health professional''.
I see how you would lose faith in this system. Is there really no way someone else could take charge of your health?
I consulted a psychiatrist for severe depression. The ASSHOLE TRIED TO SET ME UP WITH HIS KIDS!!! MID-CONSULT!! I found someone else since then, but some people should have their license revoked.
I really hope things turn out better for you. You deserve proper help.
I had a teacher (2nd grade, and she already loved bothering me) constantly complain that I was falling asleep in class (I have insomnia, sleep apnea, and anemia). My mom sat in the class one day to see what was going on. She struggled to stay awake as well and told the teacher that she was too boring, so of course, I would fall asleep. Woman was just talking to a group of kids, in a cold room, with little to no engagement and expected no one to fall asleep. Especially not the one with sleep problems and ADHD that she was well aware of because there had been conversations between her, my mom, and the principle about it.
You know what props to your mom not just for the sass but to go the extra mile of sitting in to check things out. I wish all parents were this attentive to their children.

Medical leeches: one use that I know of is when reattaching appendage, they are used to promote blood flow into the reattached appendage
11:05 Lexi! How dare you misplace Kim freaking Possible!?
4:00 as one of our clients is a pharmacy that has leeches in their product spectrum, yes, they are used for medical reasons. They nicknamed them "Luigi(s)" and have an extra sign on the door of the room they are kept in that says "please turn off the lights when they're not needed, our Luigis prefer to stay in the dark" ^^
6:49 most of us has periods for about a Week every month not just one time or one day sploosies so if we take that from the year span of 15-55(around 40years) we spend about 10 years nonstop bleeding and most of it in pain so Yeah we'd be Damned if we dont try to at least make it fun if we can.
0:24 As a chef and baker, I approve of this meme.
medical leeches are actually still used by the nhs today!! the same with maggots for necrosis. leeches are wonderful for what they're used for because they create their own anaesthetic and create anticoagulants from their saliva as they feed.
While black holes are grim reminders of a star that died remember kids every black hole has a white hole that spews out crap just as fast and we have absolutely no idea how those are formed
This is my favorite subreddit to see here lol. I love Tumblr shitposts
WHY ARE THE CENSORS ON THESE VIDEOS SO INSANE??? WHY IS THE WORD "Vacine" CENSORED is youtube _really_ this bad now?
Sterile leaches are very good for keeping blood from pooling from subdermal bleeding.
Sterile maggots are very good for removing necrotic flesh when placed in a wound.
There are a few other creatures that can be used in medicine.
Dogs, Obviously, can be used for heart problems. But did you know they can detectblood sugar levels and even MIGRAINES!?
Cats are also able to sense toxin levels in blood if kidneys fail.
Animals are amazing.

Wanaa keep that idea? Buddy better act on it
Medical leeches are used to remove blood from areas where an injury has caused blood to collect and not circulate back into the system. Basically helping to restore circulation, it can also reduce the chance of necrosis for extremely damaged areas of tissue by literally sucking blood to the area. Maggots ate carefully counted, put on to a wound with dead tissue, which is bandaged closed and then removed after a few days and the maggots counted again. This allows the injury to heal more effectively and helps prevent further infection caused by the rotting tissue.
18:00 Some cultures did do this and I think it happened in the west sometimes too. That's why some last names have two names in them.
3:59
Yes there are! Medical leeches are sanitized and grown in a lab, and we use that to out advantage to cure severe frostbite, as leeches will suck blood into the affected area trying to get the blood themself. This works because the area affected by severe frostbite would be deprived of blood until the blood is circulated by anything that can circulate it, such as leeches.
"Yes I was one of those people"
Yeah, me too. I was in like, grade 2, found Pi in a book to 50 digits, and memorized it cause I was bored one day. Still remember it to the 26th place.
Nowadays though, I can't even remember my own phone number.
10:19 The words in an acronym don't affect the pronunciation of the acronym.
If they did, then "Scuba" should be pronounced "Skuh-bah" since the U in "Underwater," is pronounced "Uh," not "Oo." The A in "Laser" is another example.
@VeraBrightfeather It sounds more natural to you because you already pronounce it that way, not because of any inherent property of the hard G sound.
And also, the guy who created and named the file format said it's pronounced with a soft G, and if anyone has the ability to give a definite ruling it's him. Stay mad about it.
@VeraBrightfeatherThis is almost exactly my reason for pronouncing it with a "G." (The main difference being that my main association with "Jif" is a cleaning agent. (That has since changed its name, but you tend not to adapt to changes to stuff from your childhood that you don't really engage with...))
Official pronunciation is with a soft G. Common pronunciation is with a hard G. It came about because people guessed how to say it. Language evolves.
Just like Dr. Seuss officially rhymes with voice. People commonly pronounce it as if it rhymes Zeus. Mr. Geisel apparently initially corrected people. He should know how to pronounce his own name- it’s his middle name, from his mother’s maiden name. I heard he eventually gave up correcting people. Language evolves. But it really must suck having people tell you you pronounce your own name wrong, especially when it comes from your mother’s family name.
(Oh, and as a side note, the creator of GIF said he chose soft G for pronouncing it so it intentionally sounds like the peanut butter brand Jif because of the tag line, so he could say, “Choosy developers choose GIF”.)
10:19 I've never really gotten this argument. In what world is the pronunciation of an acronym determined by how those letters are pronounced in the constituent words? Although imagining Laser being pronounced "lasser" is giving me a good laugh : )
that time-out bucket post 13:18 - 14:02
the fact that OP, a child in a bucket, managed to get into the parking lot scooting the whole way there, is a clear sign of neglect. i've scooted in a bucket as a child and just to go down 10 feet takes a good amount of time, nearly 10 minutes. OP had to clear at least two door frames and one of them was a frame for the outdoors. thats hard. and the kid never left the bucket. OP was in that bucket for 30 minutes before they started to scoot to freedom and i will bet money that it took them a further 30 minutes to get as far as they did. and it took the teachers that long to realize they were gone and to find them? yeah, that school is really lucky that OP's mom didn't sue them for neglect and child endangerment. those teachers were shit
