As someone who's appendix tried to kill them, appendices are underrated, they can kill you so painfully and quickly you would never expect it from a tiny organ.
Same goes for every other hospital worker, too. Lab staff (phlebots and techs), radiology techs, respiratory therapists, paramedics/EMTs, maintenance crew, housekeeping, registration, among so many more positions. When someone thinks of hospital workers, they first think of doctors and nurses because they're in the front line, but there's so many more people who make the whole system run well that are overlooked. That's not to take away from either doctors or nurses, though. Mad respect to them for the stuff they have to deal with.
I love nurses. Had my gall bladder removed a few years ago, and my "roomie" was a 78 year old man who had an appendectomy. The nurses gave him a trophy for being the oldest person to have his appendix removed in that hospital. Cracked everyone up.
Congrats on your succes! I lost almost 200 lbs due to wls, a lifetime commitment to my health, and hard work and my doctors are thrilled at my health now and I feel fantastic. It's life changing and I wish I had done it sooner.
Congrats that's amazing!!! Is bariatric surgery the stomach band thing? I honestly don't know. Also if it is, is the band removed when you get to your goal weight? I know it would be more complicated than just a band, I just have minimal knowledge and would rather ask someone who had success with it than googling
@@nikolaip4947 I think it's when you cut your stomach to make it smaller so you get full up quick. Stapling is with the band. I honestly don't know i got the information from the news.
@@ElizabethsFantasyBariatric surgery is any kind of weight loss surgery. They mostly use gastric bypass surgery nowadays as it gives the best long term results. At least in countries with health insurance, as I'm pretty sure it is more expensive than other surgeries. It's permantent too. Got one myself two years ago and am really happy with the results.
I have pcos. Was diagnosed 6 yrs back when i was 13 yrs old. I have some rare type where i get very frequent periods once every 15 days. The struggle is real and people dont understand the pain and mood swings and other stuff. Thank you for telling how underrated this topic is in society.
Yup my doctor won’t even talk to me about it till I’ve had my period for 8 years (so when I’m 20) even though I get my period every 5 months and both my auntie and mum had pcos
@@jesshulbert7526 If you are able, I'd request a different doctor to speak with about this issue. Your hereditary history is telling and no good doctor would be ignoring your concerns without carefully explaining to you why you shouldn't worry.
I was diagnosed at 18y. But no one did anything till I was 26. Had all the classic symptoms: very irregular periods with a lot of bleeding and horrible cramps, overweight, facial hair, cystic acne, ovarian cysts, insulin resistance/pre diabetic. Went to an endocrinologist at 26y and was put on: birth control, Spironolactone, thyroid medicine, and Metformin. Within three months, the cystic acne was gone, started losing weight and had more energy, and my sugars were amazing. Because I started feeling better about myself, I started taking better care of myself: started exercising more and got laser hair removal done. I feel that Spironolactone and birth control should be a go to for women with PCOS esp if their symptoms warrant it: severe acne and irregular/abnormal periods in the presence of PCOS should be treated and not ignored. I have scars from the acne and there were times my hemoglobin was low because of the excessive bleeding on my periods. PCOS is real and it can be treated, but most women don't know that. Go to an endocrinologist, if you can. Having a period twice a month is not normal. There was a time I got off birth control and was doing well for two years and and then it went bad. Ended up having a period every 3 weeks for 3 weeks at a time. I didn't want to go back on oral bc because it was affecting my BP. So I tried the Nexplanon (little rod that has hormones that is inserted in your arm and lasts for 3 years), bc patch, IUD, even the IUD and the patch together. But nothing worked and I had to go back on the oral bc. If you're not seeing a doctor who is trying to treat your abnormal periods, you need to find a new doctor. A period every 15 days isn't good.
I have PCOS too and besides all the internal medical issues it made me feel ashamed of my looks and not want to be touched. I’ve had the cysts burst and I dunno if that was caused by the PCOS or not but I’ve had two fibroids. One I had removed c-section style but they cut even bigger and now I just ignore the second. I’m sorry you have it as well but I can’t deny I’m happy to know someone else who understands
Fun fact: Singaporean get points when we hit 10k steps, which can convert into vouchers to buy groceries/use public transport. So it’s important for us to count our 10k steps hehe
Another fun fact, the 10 000 steps thingd is just a masterplay from a guy who was selling pedometers, because after the rumor took off, his sales skyrocketed
Damn, I would totally love that. I usually walk about 10 to 13k steps every day I work, so that would be a great motivator to keep moving, lmao. Alas, I live in America
That nurse thing is so true. I was in the hospital for 4 months due to severe burns and I literally saw the doctor every morning for like 1 minute. Other than that it was just RNs or CNAs, or the emotional support Doggo 💕(although he was as rare as the doctor) lol. I actually grew a great bond with all my nurses, since I was there for so long, that I’ve gone back to say hello to them years later.
Yeah the nursing staff is important sadly my experience was slightly different I had one nurse who had something against me. She put a note on my chart that said I get nothing without her permission. I was hallucinating from the meds they gave me and was afraid of the staff so I told my sister who is my medical proxy. After that I lost phone privileges for 3-5 days then it was just one 5 minutes face time a day. All of the other nursing staff went out of their way to help me. I had 3rd degree burns over 30% of my body.
@@its_alex4397 I was on drugs and homeless in the riverbed, someone poured gas and lit me on fire. I was burnt on 42% of my body. But hey it was a blessing in disguise because I am now around 4 years sober and no longer living on the street.
@@kallusive8986 I was so shocked that someone did this to you, I can't grasp this but I'm glad you're not homeless and that you're sober now, I'm happy you were able to heal from this my goodness 😢❤
Nurses really are under rated! When my dad was in the hospital before he passed the nurses were such angels! Always there, so sympathetic. Great vid Doc!💜
My late mother on PCOS: "Pain is all part of being a woman." Sorry, Mom. My daughters and I beg to differ. I had to have one pong ball sized cyst removed from one of my ovaries, had some endometriosis scraped from said ovary, then later had to endure induced menopause from Depoprovera injections. Gotta wonder how bad Mom's reproductive tract would've looked in an autopsy........
It’s horrible how women can just accept the fact that pain comes with our existence. One of my aunts during 30 years never visited her gynecologist and now unbelievable painful she has cervix cancer, and she’s 69 years old… she only worried when she started to bleed out 😞 We have to take care of ourselves and our daughters and all the women around us. So I really hope that now you’re okay and can live a life without pain. ❤️☺️
@@alejandraescobarq I doubt it, polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) and menopause are both related to hormones, but menopause doesn’t cure PCOS. When you reach menopause, you still have symptoms of PCOS in addition to symptoms of menopause.
@@shadowkissed2370, MINE stopped. I was worried about the pain hitting while I'd be driving, so Dr. Chang and I agreed that something had to be done. I'm better now, so there's that.
My wife is dealing with endometriosis and adenomyosis right now. I'm sorry so many people are going through this. It makes me wonder how much this perception of women is based on Endo going so often undetected for so long
@@BaronessErsatz I worry so much about menopause because of my PCOS. I still have not been able to have a baby. Right now I am having to be on progesterone birth control to regulate my periods but it is helping less and less. Before the birth control, I wouldn't have periods for 6 months and when they finally came I would go through two packs of pads a day and end up in the ER on morphine drips from the pain. I am the type of person that can handle a lot of pain, had wisdom teeth cut out without taking pain medication, had two spinal surgeries without pain medication after surgery, and so on, but I cannot handle the pain from those periods. I had Depo shots when I was a teenager, they were forced on me by my aunt and social services even though I wasn't sexually active. I wonder if that has any correlation with the PCOS because I wasn't diagnosed until later in life after 5+ losses.
Hey Mike! Just wanted to clarify that Valkyrie does not sell her UV skincare anymore. She pulled it almost as soon as she found out it does nothing lol. However, you can STILL find Addison Rae's blue light spray at Sephora right now. Just saying.
Thank you!! She still gets so much hate for it when she pulled out of it the minute she realized she was lied to and the company wouldnt release the findings they showed her. Addison Rae picked up the *same* company *after* the initial pushback from valkyrae and people were suddenly okay with it. Drives me insane..
@@saw-blade4194 she was completely lied to by the company. It’s difficult as a non medical professional to understand studies sometimes and especially with streamers who don’t have the same resources as larger people it’s difficult to figure out what’s true.
"Thank your nurses." YES!!! I've had a few hospital stays for some pretty serious cardio conditions, and no matter how uncomfortable the prescribed regimen of care is, it always makes it better for me when I not only thank the nurses but also remind the nurses of the importance of their work in saving and improving lives. I also recommend thanking the janitorial staff who clean your hospital room daily, and reminding them that they're an essential contributor to everyone who is treated in the hospital, as you have a much better chance of getting better in a clean room, both physically by removing unsanitary waste from the room, and psychologically by creating an environment that fosters a positive mindset conducive to healing.
"Ice cream is overrated." I could forgive Mike for saying this if it was obligatory as being a doctor to advocate for healthy eating, but nah. We have to talk, man.
Being overrated doesn't mean it's bad. There's just so much hype for it that it couldn't possibly be underrated unless it singlehandedly cured all forms of cancer.
"it prevents cancer" is the hard truth on sunscreen that gets overlooked - admittedly even by myself. I forgo sunscreen cuz its a hassle but never thought about the logical truth about it.
I forgo sunscreen cuz its a hassle -- a whole lot less hassle than having to prepare for your early & unexpected funeral. Hope you realise the logical truth & use more in future.
@@veronicaivanova really? i am allergic to something in popular sunscreens, do you know about any alternatives that wont make me feel like im burning lol
In biology class we had an research assignment about different diseases and we were each assigned a different topic. Mine was on PCOS, and the amount of information on it compared to my peers’ diseases was surprising. A lot of the same information was repeated(which is totally fine, no problem there) but when searching for an exact part of this, you have to go through the same information over and over again, maybe that was just because of that databases available to us, but I still think this needs more attention since the impact that PCOS has on someone’s life is tremendous.
Same i did an assignment on PCOS and the amount of info available is more often than not redundant and if it is not then it is irrelevant and 95% of my class has never heard of PCOS
I appreciate comments like yours because it not only took me years to diagnose then it took almost another whole decade to get me on something that's not birth control to at least help a LITTLE were at a day an age there should be more treatments then just fertility treatment, there's like another dozens of symptoms a single person can have. between thyroid, water bloating and our increased risk of ovarian/endometrial and thyroid cancer. Over oily or overly dry skin, hair loss and extra hair growth in all the wrong places. I hope you comment gets more aknowledged
Hearing Dr Mike talk about the ways pcos manipulates and effects a person’s life meant a lot. As someone who still struggles a lot with my pcos issues on the daily, and have struggled with medical professionals down playing my health concerns because of it, it was really validating to hear. 💙
Thank you for saying PCOS is underrated. I was so devastated when I was first diagnosed with PCOS. Unfortunately, I wasn’t diagnosed until after my teen years. I was on the Depo shot, don’t even get me started on that, and had a long road of that clearing out of my system. After I met my wonderful OBGYN, I was diagnosed and later put on birth control for about 14 months. After coming off the pill, I conceived my precious little boy. I was so scared that I would never have children, but I was proven so wrong.
To be fair, Valkyrae retracted everything she promoted when advertising the blue light stuff as soon as she found out it was a scam.But I agree, she should have known what she was promoting before attaching her name to their products.
I understand that you're a fan but why would she not backpedal from a scam that would lose everything she has worked for? It's not noble it's not even being smart it's just common sense.
PCOS!!!! Totally underrated. I have it and wasn’t formally diagnosed until I was 29 (I’m 46 now). Not understanding my body, why certain things happened, while others didn’t. This needs to be discussed in school in Health class when discussing periods.
Loved that Doc is saying Tik Tok is overrated but at the same time split screen shows him on Tik Tok. The editing team is having a blast. Give them a bonus!
He said a few things he likes are overrated. I'm glad to see he paid attention to what the words mean instead of pretending they mean like/ don't like.
To the stretching pulled muscles, THANK YOU!! This advice also goes for stuff like tendonitis and such. I had a cross country coach in high school that his solve for every problem was to stretch and ice. Not only did we all end up going to the doctor against the advice of the trainers, they got mad that we didn't trust them and injuries kept getting worse under their advice.
Stretching properly can help prevent tendinitis. I’m a knitter and many knitters don’t stretch and take adequate breaks and end up with tendinitis in their thumb and their elbow!
I think the big issue for most people is cold stretching. You want to get blood moving through your muscles before you stretch them. Training for greater flexibility is a different beast entirely. Maintaining your strength through a greater range of motion but it’s also a science unto itself. I was a gymnast when I was young & some of the stretching techniques we used were…questionable.
Thank you for being an advocate for Bariatric Surgery where it’s appropriate ❤️ I’m 4.5 years out from a RNY Bypass and the treatment I get from some GP’s is vile because they don’t ‘believe’ in Bariatric surgeries.
Thank you for saying Nurses are underrated because they are underrated. My mom is a nurse and I can’t tell you how often she disrespected or taken advantage of. It made me smile seeing the respect you have for nurses. Thank you for your videos they have gotten me through some tough times.
You know why I keep coming back and watching anything mike puts out? His passion and care is undeniably genuine and I really love seeing someone love the field they’re in. His patients are lucky to have such a caring and non dismissive dr!! I learn s**t loads from him and he’s so funny, so that keeps me here too 🥰
Yes PCOS is certainly underrated. I didn't get diagnosed with PCOS until late 20s - early 30s. I started my very first menstrual cycle late (around age of 16-17). I wish my parents showed more concern back then when I hadn't started yet, instead of just saying that it runs in the family for the oldest girl to be late with their period.
When I see around myself, 70% of my female friends have pcos and I realised how thankful I have to be. Its totally underrated and a lot of women have problems with pcos (and breast cancer) and men can be very unpleasant about it. But hey, we have to know about their prostate.
"runs in the family for the oldest girl to be late with their period" God that sounds like armchair expertise of the worst kind. What a weak attitude, to just decide on something like that and not go to an actual doctor to investigate. I feel for ya.
I love that you always end your videos with "stay happy" before "healthy". A subtle reminder of your incredible values, both as a medical practitioner and as a human being.
I love that you are supportive of bariatric surgery! I had it over five years and it immediately reversed my early type 2 diabetes and so many other co-morbidities. It changed my life completely.
Your point about Nurses always hits home for me. I had an extended stay in hospital due to a serious throat infection when I was 17. My doctor was great, but obviously very busy and always just showed up, did what he needed to do, and then vanished. The people who I actually felt cared for me and made my stay in hospital not only bearable, but actually pretty pleasant, all things considered, were the nursing team. They took care of a lot of the medical stuff, but they also took care of the little things you don't think about. Things like bringing me a snack outside of normal mealtimes, without me asking, because I'd not been very hungry when dinner was served up. Things like chatting with me about their day-to-day lives because I was obviously bored of being in bed all day, so it helped to hear about their day... Those little things meant a whole lot! Nurses are 100% certified heroes in my book.
One of my friends has pcos and it's so tough to watch and barely anyone knows about it it's awful. Thanks for bringing it up it's more than just stomach pains like some people think.
You get stomach pains from PCOS? Thanks for posting this comment because I have a bad stomach problems,at times it feels like someone punch me in my stomach,now I am going to get checked for PCOS!
@@LaurenKaminski Well it's not exactly stomach pains she just describes it as pain in the stomach area but not the stomach exactly. I'm not sure tho I'm a dude I don't have it lol
PCOS presents in very different ways. The polycystic part of PCOS is generally because of lack of regular ovulation, causing follicle cysts (ovum/eggs) to build up in the ovaries month after month until ovulation. At the same time, the lining of the uterus also does not shed. People with PCOS commonly can go 45 days to a year without a menstrual cycle (some even longer), and they can experience increased hair growth on face, chest, etc, as well as have difficulty losing weight and are often overweight or obese. Sometimes other types of cysts can develop on the ovaries and rupture, which can cause pain, but this can happen even to people who don't have PCOS.
As far as nurses are concerned, it depends on the health care system. In Greece for instance, you barely see nurses, it's doctors that you talk to etc.
I'm a med student who started his clinical rotations 6 weeks ago. I love literally all of the nurses I've worked with, they were all so nice and helpful.
I seriously love Dan's editing 😭😂 His humor matches Dr. Mike's energy so well and it always makes me laugh! It's one of the reasons I love this channel so much ☺️❤️
When I've been in the hospital several times over the last year, when a nurse asked me if she should leave the room, I was like no, I want you to stay. So she stayed. They have all been so kind. I can't praise nurses enough! The ones I've had, I loved them.💗
Hey doctor, I was catching up on latest season of “The Good Doctor” and I think your voice has been heard by their producers as in one of the episodes they tried chest compressions to revive a patient😃
As someone who has PCOS and has had so many issues due to it, I appreciate the underrated verdict. My sister and mom have it too and they've also battled with it far more than most expect
Nurses are so underrated. In the hospital my nurses, gave me food, helped me shower, cleaned my wounds, made me comfortable, check in on me, talked to me. I only saw my doctor for 5 minutes and the rest was recovery with my nurses. Absolutely amazing human beings, keep being awesome!
CONGRATULATIONS TO TEN MILLION SUBSCRIBERS, MIKE! 😍 I wanted to thank you because you taught us much in an entertaining way. You (besides Grey's Anatomy which started my obsession with medical topics) are one of the reasons that keep me interested in medical stuff. :) Edit: HAHAHA LITERALLY LIKE FIVE SECONDS AFTER I PUBLISHED THIS COMMENT YOU CALLED GREY'S ANATOMY OVERRATED 😭
I remember that PCOS video! I have PCOS and EDS and that video meant a lot to me. I was diagnosed very quickly, which I'm lucky for, but when it comes to friends and family there are plenty who just don't understand.
Yes to the nurses. During my labor and delivery they did pretty much everything. They cared for me in literally every way. I saw doctors for minutes but they took care of me for actual DAYS
2:45 it is also worth mensioning that the "blue light blocking" glasses that are clear are fake. If they should block visible light they need to be visibly tinted, amber or red.
Now why did I start crying when he said PCOS is overrated? I keep telling people that it’s affecting my whole life, and no one believes me. Thanks Dr. Mike for mentioning this disorder and educating people about it.
I started tearing up too, and I don't even have it. But I've had multiple friends and family members with it, and it's been so hard to see them struggle because their doctors don't know what they're doing.
Hearing you say nurses are underrated made me smile. I’m a new CNA and I’m not used to the mistreatment I get from some of my patients. Also talking about the stigma around PCOS. Thanks for the representation! ❤️
Stretching: When I was running long distance in college, the trainers decided I was too tight and started me on a bunch of stretches. It took about two months before I was overextending and damaging my knees.
Congratulations on hitting 10M!! I seriously appreciate the work you put in for 6 years straight without getting tired or getting frustrated over the videos you make. Especially when UA-cam's algorithm is quickly becoming a piece of s**t. Many *good* youtubers have left the platform because their content wasn't getting to their audiences. Anyways, Keep making videos to entertain and educate us. Don't forget about the Diamond Play Button!!
The nurses one is accurate! i have an aunt that works as a nurse and she already had packed schedules but when the outbreaks of covid started she hardly got home, she even got tested positive for covid but she's now alright and still working as a nurse. She's amazing, she's the first person we call when something that needs medical help happens :D
I was playing along with you, and honestly, please do more of these! They're so fun & love hearing your honest opinion on certain subjects! Also, congrats on 10 million subs, Mike! I'm happy for you, and to be part of the fun! All the love! Edit: A show I recommend you react to sometime is Descendants Of The Sun! It's a Korean drama, and it's pretty good! They have medical scenes, so I think you should react to them!
Thank you so much for saying that about PCOS. I got diagnosed in my late teens. It effects my everyday of life. Since I got in my teens I’ve had bad acne, heavy painful periods which made me so weak and prone to faint I had to go to the ER or be at bedrest. The struggle to lose weight despite being ultrahealthy and exercising. The struggle with both being superhairy on the body and at the same time going through hair loss (still not fully recovered. Having some spots on the sides of my head). Having hormonal headaches and then lastly: problem with infertility… going through ivf and have had five miscarriages… im going from being really angry to then switch to grieving and crying. Pcos is no joke…
I have PCOS and one thing most people don't know how it also comes with anxiety. And after being a literal hermit last couple of years thanks to pandemia, it's getting so much worse than it was before.
Love that you mentioned nurses! They are so underrated! I was just watching scrubs and saw a provider inserting a catheter. They need to give nurses more credit on shows. Love your channel Dr. Mike!
Mad respect to all the nurses I've had during my multiple hospital stays. They've done so much for me and I can't think them enough. Especially when my family and friends couldn't visit, they were just nice to talk to
I always appreciate you featuring PCOS because I have it, it has been life changing, and it definitely isn't talked about enough. Took me literal years to get diagnosed which was torture.
Thank you so much for the awareness about PCOS. I’m 31, been dealing with it since 15 or earlier. The impact on insulin resistance is astonishing. I’ve also been bullied by my brother and his friends for having chin and chest hair and that just hurts. 😢
my sister, mom, and I all have a bit of chin hair, too. I doubt it's that uncommon. your brother and his friends are making asses of themselves and need to find a new hobby.
As a college coach for track & field and having been an olympic lifting coach love your comment on stretching. One of the biggest things for me to get athletes to "buy into" coming in as freshman is the idea of not static stretching before the workout and focusing on a dynamic warm-up and active stretching prior to training and competing and using static stretching as a way to increase range of motion. One of the only Dr.s I've heard actual reference that unfortunately.
My mom is a nurse, they do so so much on the station and they are suffering because they are understaffed, have old equipment and have to deal with unfriendly and straight up mean patients because they are not doctors
Also if you decide to get the nurses a gift after they took care for your loved one, they will remember it. My mom talks about little thank you gifts for days after it and she will also remember friendly patients for longer Don’t forget your ICU nurses, they work just as hard as emergency nurses or the ones on the birth floor
5:32 very true. Also, I take very good care of my nurses when I go in for chemotherapy 😌 one of them literally moved her computer into my room so she could watch Luca with me! RESPECT YOUR NURSES! 💙🤙
I recently had a total knee replacement, I was in the hospital for 4 days. My nurses were awesome! I always tried my best to thank them. They are there to help us, and are so busy! They have a lot of patients to take care of and at the same time.
Appreciate the shoutout for PCOS. It's far more than just a fertility issue - I never plan on becoming pregnant but PCOS still affects my life every day. Energy, mood, weight, hair loss/growth. It's emotionally and physically draining, and doctors' "solutions" are pathetic. There needs to be much more research and awareness about this condition - it's one of the most common problems affecting women but it's so painfully unrecognized, most people have never even heard of it before. I hadn't until I was suffering for years and did enough research to diagnose myself (I did get officially diagnosed btw, but no other doctor had caught it until I went in and said "I think I have PCOS, can you check"). It's horrible and I truly feel like it's at the root of my depression and anxiety and general suffering in life. I wish it would magically disappear.
I appreciate you speaking up for PCOS. It’s honestly miserable, and I bawled when I got my diagnosis. I wondered if I was even a woman if I couldn’t have children, and the amount of pain I go through every month is unreal. It reeeally needs to be talked about more. As for the cold showers, it’s the only thing that pulls me out of a panic attack. Does it suck? Yes, yes it does, but it’s never longer than a minute cause NOPE. No thank you lol
I had/have severe anxiety and the only thing that really helps is cooler showers. Just the last 30 seconds of a shower being cooler everyday sucked a TON but was honestly worth it for me. My therapist recommended it since meds weren't helping. I thought it was a dumb idea but I was willing to try anything and to my suprise it helped. I find it underrated in my opinion. It legit sounded like a crazy idea but it helped me.
I'm on a prescription vitamin D supplement, but I have a severe deficiency. (Like, when my doctor saw the blood test results, she and the resident with her both said "wow" at the same time. One of my other doctors actually congratulated me -jokingly- for having the lowest number he'd seen personally.) Apparently they were really low, like low single digits low.
Yeah honestly whenever I go to the doctor, it's the nurse that does everything, especially if I'm seeing a hospital doctor. The doctor will walk in for 2 seconds but other than that, it's mainly been the nurses helping.
I wholeheartedly agree about pcos. I have it, and there are so, so many struggles that come along with it. From weight to fertility/pregnancy issues, to acne, to painful, irregular cycles... the list goes on. A lot more people could stand to benefit from learning about it.
Trust your nurses... most of the time. As I lay here paralyzed from T11 due to a nurse having a bad day and throwing me back onto the bed, my back hit the bedrail... my life changed in 2 seconds of someone else's bad day. I used to be a nurse practioner, and I must say that I do miss USA medical facilities. To the nurses credit who paralyzed me, we were in the midst of the 2020 lockdown and construction was going on every day on the station above us... still, I am mad, but, I must say that time would drive Any nurse crazy! I have also caught multiple mistakes that could've been deadly, it's ok to ask about things and advocate for yourself. But in general, Dr Mike is correct, nurses are the front line and deserve respect. I could not help putting my situation on here. I am aware that it is not a usual situation.
You talking about the cold shower thing reminded me of my last visit to my previous GP. I went to her with a specific issue and wanted bloodwork done and she asked me if I'd prayed about it. I was so freaking mad. I kept trying to shut the conversation down and she kept pushing it. I never went back to her again.
100% on the fever thing. Me and my husband got sick recently and we both had fevers. He tried everything he could to break his, but I remembered either Dr.Mike or Dr.Jones saying to leave the fever alone and let it do it's thing. Yes, my husband's fever broke like a day before mine did, but guess who got overall better quicker! >.< I kinda showed off on him a bit, but yeah, leaving fevers alone (once not life threatening) is the way to go.
As someone who is fairly sensitive to heat (it and too much/too bright of light are my two biggest migraine triggers), I don't know about COLD showers, but a cool shower is incredibly refreshing for me. Not going to say it has monster health benefits, but between being able to cool down in the shower, and then experiencing further cooling effects from not fully drying off and letting the water evaporate from my skin...I think cool showers are about the best thing in the world in hot weather.
The streamer blue light thing you mentioned with valkyrae has been cleared up, I’m pretty sure there was some shady stuff going on, she was basically tricked into the contract with false claims of investigations etc. and she ended up cutting ties with the company once she found out there had been no studies done, just to clear up in case you didn’t know!
My mama is the best RN the world will ever know. She had always gone above and beyond for her patients, on the clock or not. Patients have changed healthcare providers that don't take their insurance just so they can keep her as their nurse. She has never gotten the respect she deserves from her employers, in recognition or pay. Saying nurses are underrated is such an understatement, but I'm still happy to hear it. Nurses are so important and care more than patients will ever know. Thank you, nurses!
Yeah I am a nurse and sometimes I hear something like "Oh, shouldn`t a doctor do that?" or "In TV that`s the doctors things, are you really qualified for that?" it`s kinda annoying tbh but my standard response is a little laugh and a "Oh you REALLY don`t want a doctor to this, I`d have to redo it an hour later, they are good in what they do and I`ll stick to [insert task in question]". Instant trust for some reason.
"You will see your nurse 98% more during your hospital stay than you will see your doctors" I have to say this is fairly accurate, if not still underestimated. When I woke up from a coma, during the next 7ish weeks of recovery I think I saw one of the doctors once. The rest of it was nurses & techs. (And they were all awesome) *Edited to fix a typo*
THANK YOU for voting bariatric surgery as being underrated!! I'm 5'4" and had gastric bypass May 2021, reached 360lbs. I'm 160lbs currently and loving it. It was a VERY hard decision to make and I did develop complications, but I would 100% do it again.
Get checked for lipidema. I'm not even joking. When I reached my low weight of 143 my body just wouldn't lose anymore, was showing signs of starvation. TL;DR: I had undiagnosed lipidema and the weight was an improper glycolic interaction with fat that can only be broken down with MLD and certain vibration frequencies. It was assumed I had cellulite--they were pockets of glycogen-infused fat from every carb I was putting in my body being supported by incompetent *deep* veins--the deep version of varicose veins. If you get it treated *now* while you're at or reaching your lows, you'll have fewer problems with pain, constipation, and blood clots and then you won't have to go through my 8-year journey hahahahahaha There is a body type commonly associated with obesity that is indicative of lipidema. And you want to get it treated before it turns into secondary lymphedema and you feel like you have plantar fasciatis before you didn't wear your tights, brush your legs, and use an air compressor to pump you from the waist down. Go get checked for insufficient venus reflux if you're having weakness or tiredness in your legs, or signs of varicose veins and they can get you going--do not assume this is just your skin getting thinner or your veins coming more out because of the weight loss. You don't know yourself until you lose 2" a thigh after a drainage session--and it would have been easier when I was healthier within that initial surgery window than it is now. It's crazy
8:15 Based. I don't want a 60'' TV in my car, it's so weird that most cars nowdays have basically an iPad in the interior. Also, i think that infotainment systems like this should not be allowed in cars, because it's almost as distracting as a phone, and requires the driver to take the eyes off the road (with physycal buttons you can just remember where everything is). But is 100% allowed
As someone who's appendix tried to kill them, appendices are underrated, they can kill you so painfully and quickly you would never expect it from a tiny organ.
Me now being terrified because I’m getting pain from the right side…
frrr
I agree with you, it almost killed me as well
Same
yes
Nurses are absolutely underrated. Something that doesn’t get mentioned very much is how underrated Nursing Assistants are too.
Nurses run this world 👏
Same goes for every other hospital worker, too. Lab staff (phlebots and techs), radiology techs, respiratory therapists, paramedics/EMTs, maintenance crew, housekeeping, registration, among so many more positions. When someone thinks of hospital workers, they first think of doctors and nurses because they're in the front line, but there's so many more people who make the whole system run well that are overlooked. That's not to take away from either doctors or nurses, though. Mad respect to them for the stuff they have to deal with.
Nurse practitioners are also underrated.

I love nurses. Had my gall bladder removed a few years ago, and my "roomie" was a 78 year old man who had an appendectomy. The nurses gave him a trophy for being the oldest person to have his appendix removed in that hospital. Cracked everyone up.
As someone who lost 240 pounds thanks to bariatric surgery, hearing him say it’s underrated and how important it can be made me feel good
Congrats on your succes! I lost almost 200 lbs due to wls, a lifetime commitment to my health, and hard work and my doctors are thrilled at my health now and I feel fantastic. It's life changing and I wish I had done it sooner.
What an amazing accomplishment. Keep it up! Much love 💛
Congrats that's amazing!!! Is bariatric surgery the stomach band thing? I honestly don't know. Also if it is, is the band removed when you get to your goal weight? I know it would be more complicated than just a band, I just have minimal knowledge and would rather ask someone who had success with it than googling
@@nikolaip4947 I think it's when you cut your stomach to make it smaller so you get full up quick. Stapling is with the band. I honestly don't know i got the information from the news.
@@ElizabethsFantasyBariatric surgery is any kind of weight loss surgery. They mostly use gastric bypass surgery nowadays as it gives the best long term results. At least in countries with health insurance, as I'm pretty sure it is more expensive than other surgeries. It's permantent too. Got one myself two years ago and am really happy with the results.
I have pcos. Was diagnosed 6 yrs back when i was 13 yrs old. I have some rare type where i get very frequent periods once every 15 days. The struggle is real and people dont understand the pain and mood swings and other stuff. Thank you for telling how underrated this topic is in society.
Yup my doctor won’t even talk to me about it till I’ve had my period for 8 years (so when I’m 20) even though I get my period every 5 months and both my auntie and mum had pcos
@@jesshulbert7526 If you are able, I'd request a different doctor to speak with about this issue. Your hereditary history is telling and no good doctor would be ignoring your concerns without carefully explaining to you why you shouldn't worry.
This!! I’m getting everything removed 🙃
I was diagnosed at 18y. But no one did anything till I was 26. Had all the classic symptoms: very irregular periods with a lot of bleeding and horrible cramps, overweight, facial hair, cystic acne, ovarian cysts, insulin resistance/pre diabetic. Went to an endocrinologist at 26y and was put on: birth control, Spironolactone, thyroid medicine, and Metformin. Within three months, the cystic acne was gone, started losing weight and had more energy, and my sugars were amazing. Because I started feeling better about myself, I started taking better care of myself: started exercising more and got laser hair removal done.
I feel that Spironolactone and birth control should be a go to for women with PCOS esp if their symptoms warrant it: severe acne and irregular/abnormal periods in the presence of PCOS should be treated and not ignored. I have scars from the acne and there were times my hemoglobin was low because of the excessive bleeding on my periods. PCOS is real and it can be treated, but most women don't know that. Go to an endocrinologist, if you can. Having a period twice a month is not normal. There was a time I got off birth control and was doing well for two years and and then it went bad. Ended up having a period every 3 weeks for 3 weeks at a time. I didn't want to go back on oral bc because it was affecting my BP. So I tried the Nexplanon (little rod that has hormones that is inserted in your arm and lasts for 3 years), bc patch, IUD, even the IUD and the patch together. But nothing worked and I had to go back on the oral bc. If you're not seeing a doctor who is trying to treat your abnormal periods, you need to find a new doctor. A period every 15 days isn't good.
I have PCOS too and besides all the internal medical issues it made me feel ashamed of my looks and not want to be touched. I’ve had the cysts burst and I dunno if that was caused by the PCOS or not but I’ve had two fibroids. One I had removed c-section style but they cut even bigger and now I just ignore the second. I’m sorry you have it as well but I can’t deny I’m happy to know someone else who understands

So cool!
Another fun fact, the 10 000 steps thingd is just a masterplay from a guy who was selling pedometers, because after the rumor took off, his sales skyrocketed
Damn, I would totally love that. I usually walk about 10 to 13k steps every day I work, so that would be a great motivator to keep moving, lmao. Alas, I live in America
That nurse thing is so true. I was in the hospital for 4 months due to severe burns and I literally saw the doctor every morning for like 1 minute. Other than that it was just RNs or CNAs, or the emotional support Doggo 💕(although he was as rare as the doctor) lol. I actually grew a great bond with all my nurses, since I was there for so long, that I’ve gone back to say hello to them years later.
what happened? with the burns not tryna be nosey but I just read this comment and was wondering lol
Yeah the nursing staff is important sadly my experience was slightly different I had one nurse who had something against me. She put a note on my chart that said I get nothing without her permission. I was hallucinating from the meds they gave me and was afraid of the staff so I told my sister who is my medical proxy. After that I lost phone privileges for 3-5 days then it was just one 5 minutes face time a day. All of the other nursing staff went out of their way to help me. I had 3rd degree burns over 30% of my body.
Meanwhile the Pharmacists in the basement: 😶🌫️
@@its_alex4397 I was on drugs and homeless in the riverbed, someone poured gas and lit me on fire. I was burnt on 42% of my body. But hey it was a blessing in disguise because I am now around 4 years sober and no longer living on the street.

My late mother on PCOS: "Pain is all part of being a woman."
Sorry, Mom. My daughters and I beg to differ. I had to have one pong ball sized cyst removed from one of my ovaries, had some endometriosis scraped from said ovary, then later had to endure induced menopause from Depoprovera injections.
Gotta wonder how bad Mom's reproductive tract would've looked in an autopsy........
It’s horrible how women can just accept the fact that pain comes with our existence. One of my aunts during 30 years never visited her gynecologist and now unbelievable painful she has cervix cancer, and she’s 69 years old… she only worried when she started to bleed out 😞 We have to take care of ourselves and our daughters and all the women around us. So I really hope that now you’re okay and can live a life without pain. ❤️☺️
@@alejandraescobarq I doubt it, polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) and menopause are both related to hormones, but menopause doesn’t cure PCOS. When you reach menopause, you still have symptoms of PCOS in addition to symptoms of menopause.
@@shadowkissed2370, MINE stopped. I was worried about the pain hitting while I'd be driving, so Dr. Chang and I agreed that something had to be done. I'm better now, so there's that.
My wife is dealing with endometriosis and adenomyosis right now. I'm sorry so many people are going through this. It makes me wonder how much this perception of women is based on Endo going so often undetected for so long
@@BaronessErsatz I worry so much about menopause because of my PCOS. I still have not been able to have a baby. Right now I am having to be on progesterone birth control to regulate my periods but it is helping less and less. Before the birth control, I wouldn't have periods for 6 months and when they finally came I would go through two packs of pads a day and end up in the ER on morphine drips from the pain. I am the type of person that can handle a lot of pain, had wisdom teeth cut out without taking pain medication, had two spinal surgeries without pain medication after surgery, and so on, but I cannot handle the pain from those periods. I had Depo shots when I was a teenager, they were forced on me by my aunt and social services even though I wasn't sexually active. I wonder if that has any correlation with the PCOS because I wasn't diagnosed until later in life after 5+ losses.
Hey Mike! Just wanted to clarify that Valkyrie does not sell her UV skincare anymore. She pulled it almost as soon as she found out it does nothing lol. However, you can STILL find Addison Rae's blue light spray at Sephora right now. Just saying.
Thank you!! She still gets so much hate for it when she pulled out of it the minute she realized she was lied to and the company wouldnt release the findings they showed her. Addison Rae picked up the *same* company *after* the initial pushback from valkyrae and people were suddenly okay with it. Drives me insane..
It is good that she pulled the product but she should have done research or got a proper medical opinion before making/releasing the product.
@@saw-blade4194 she was completely lied to by the company. It’s difficult as a non medical professional to understand studies sometimes and especially with streamers who don’t have the same resources as larger people it’s difficult to figure out what’s true.
Blue light spray? That sounds like a bigger scam sorry
@@morganoffairies I'm saying seek answers and advice outside the company. She could have done her own research.
"Thank your nurses." YES!!! I've had a few hospital stays for some pretty serious cardio conditions, and no matter how uncomfortable the prescribed regimen of care is, it always makes it better for me when I not only thank the nurses but also remind the nurses of the importance of their work in saving and improving lives. I also recommend thanking the janitorial staff who clean your hospital room daily, and reminding them that they're an essential contributor to everyone who is treated in the hospital, as you have a much better chance of getting better in a clean room, both physically by removing unsanitary waste from the room, and psychologically by creating an environment that fosters a positive mindset conducive to healing.

"it prevents cancer" is the hard truth on sunscreen that gets overlooked - admittedly even by myself. I forgo sunscreen cuz its a hassle but never thought about the logical truth about it.

In biology class we had an research assignment about different diseases and we were each assigned a different topic. Mine was on PCOS, and the amount of information on it compared to my peers’ diseases was surprising. A lot of the same information was repeated(which is totally fine, no problem there) but when searching for an exact part of this, you have to go through the same information over and over again, maybe that was just because of that databases available to us, but I still think this needs more attention since the impact that PCOS has on someone’s life is tremendous.
Same i did an assignment on PCOS and the amount of info available is more often than not redundant and if it is not then it is irrelevant and 95% of my class has never heard of PCOS
“An research” bio student makes sense with the bad grammar
I appreciate comments like yours because it not only took me years to diagnose then it took almost another whole decade to get me on something that's not birth control to at least help a LITTLE were at a day an age there should be more treatments then just fertility treatment, there's like another dozens of symptoms a single person can have. between thyroid, water bloating and our increased risk of ovarian/endometrial and thyroid cancer. Over oily or overly dry skin, hair loss and extra hair growth in all the wrong places. I hope you comment gets more aknowledged

Hearing Dr Mike talk about the ways pcos manipulates and effects a person’s life meant a lot. As someone who still struggles a lot with my pcos issues on the daily, and have struggled with medical professionals down playing my health concerns because of it, it was really validating to hear. 💙
Thank you for saying PCOS is underrated. I was so devastated when I was first diagnosed with PCOS. Unfortunately, I wasn’t diagnosed until after my teen years. I was on the Depo shot, don’t even get me started on that, and had a long road of that clearing out of my system. After I met my wonderful OBGYN, I was diagnosed and later put on birth control for about 14 months. After coming off the pill, I conceived my precious little boy. I was so scared that I would never have children, but I was proven so wrong.

To the stretching pulled muscles, THANK YOU!! This advice also goes for stuff like tendonitis and such. I had a cross country coach in high school that his solve for every problem was to stretch and ice. Not only did we all end up going to the doctor against the advice of the trainers, they got mad that we didn't trust them and injuries kept getting worse under their advice.
Stretching properly can help prevent tendinitis. I’m a knitter and many knitters don’t stretch and take adequate breaks and end up with tendinitis in their thumb and their elbow!
I think the big issue for most people is cold stretching. You want to get blood moving through your muscles before you stretch them. Training for greater flexibility is a different beast entirely. Maintaining your strength through a greater range of motion but it’s also a science unto itself. I was a gymnast when I was young & some of the stretching techniques we used were…questionable.

Yes PCOS is certainly underrated. I didn't get diagnosed with PCOS until late 20s - early 30s. I started my very first menstrual cycle late (around age of 16-17). I wish my parents showed more concern back then when I hadn't started yet, instead of just saying that it runs in the family for the oldest girl to be late with their period.
When I see around myself, 70% of my female friends have pcos and I realised how thankful I have to be. Its totally underrated and a lot of women have problems with pcos (and breast cancer) and men can be very unpleasant about it. But hey, we have to know about their prostate.
"runs in the family for the oldest girl to be late with their period" God that sounds like armchair expertise of the worst kind. What a weak attitude, to just decide on something like that and not go to an actual doctor to investigate. I feel for ya.
You just can't put the blame on them they might not have idea on what was wrong it was there believe
I love that you always end your videos with "stay happy" before "healthy". A subtle reminder of your incredible values, both as a medical practitioner and as a human being.
I love that you are supportive of bariatric surgery! I had it over five years and it immediately reversed my early type 2 diabetes and so many other co-morbidities. It changed my life completely.
Your point about Nurses always hits home for me. I had an extended stay in hospital due to a serious throat infection when I was 17.
My doctor was great, but obviously very busy and always just showed up, did what he needed to do, and then vanished. The people who I actually felt cared for me and made my stay in hospital not only bearable, but actually pretty pleasant, all things considered, were the nursing team. They took care of a lot of the medical stuff, but they also took care of the little things you don't think about. Things like bringing me a snack outside of normal mealtimes, without me asking, because I'd not been very hungry when dinner was served up. Things like chatting with me about their day-to-day lives because I was obviously bored of being in bed all day, so it helped to hear about their day... Those little things meant a whole lot! Nurses are 100% certified heroes in my book.

PCOS presents in very different ways. The polycystic part of PCOS is generally because of lack of regular ovulation, causing follicle cysts (ovum/eggs) to build up in the ovaries month after month until ovulation. At the same time, the lining of the uterus also does not shed. People with PCOS commonly can go 45 days to a year without a menstrual cycle (some even longer), and they can experience increased hair growth on face, chest, etc, as well as have difficulty losing weight and are often overweight or obese. Sometimes other types of cysts can develop on the ovaries and rupture, which can cause pain, but this can happen even to people who don't have PCOS.
As far as nurses are concerned, it depends on the health care system. In Greece for instance, you barely see nurses, it's doctors that you talk to etc.
I'm a med student who started his clinical rotations 6 weeks ago. I love literally all of the nurses I've worked with, they were all so nice and helpful.
I seriously love Dan's editing 😭😂 His humor matches Dr. Mike's energy so well and it always makes me laugh! It's one of the reasons I love this channel so much ☺️❤️
When I've been in the hospital several times over the last year, when a nurse asked me if she should leave the room, I was like no, I want you to stay. So she stayed. They have all been so kind. I can't praise nurses enough! The ones I've had, I loved them.💗
Hey doctor, I was catching up on latest season of “The Good Doctor” and I think your voice has been heard by their producers as in one of the episodes they tried chest compressions to revive a patient😃
As someone who has PCOS and has had so many issues due to it, I appreciate the underrated verdict. My sister and mom have it too and they've also battled with it far more than most expect
Nurses are so underrated. In the hospital my nurses, gave me food, helped me shower, cleaned my wounds, made me comfortable, check in on me, talked to me. I only saw my doctor for 5 minutes and the rest was recovery with my nurses. Absolutely amazing human beings, keep being awesome!

Stretching: When I was running long distance in college, the trainers decided I was too tight and started me on a bunch of stretches. It took about two months before I was overextending and damaging my knees.
Thanks for all of the amazing vid editings Dan! Always engaging, entertaining, and making learning much easier ❤️
Congratulations on hitting 10M!! I seriously appreciate the work you put in for 6 years straight without getting tired or getting frustrated over the videos you make. Especially when UA-cam's algorithm is quickly becoming a piece of s**t. Many *good* youtubers have left the platform because their content wasn't getting to their audiences. Anyways, Keep making videos to entertain and educate us. Don't forget about the Diamond Play Button!!
The nurses one is accurate! i have an aunt that works as a nurse and she already had packed schedules but when the outbreaks of covid started she hardly got home, she even got tested positive for covid but she's now alright and still working as a nurse. She's amazing, she's the first person we call when something that needs medical help happens :D
I was playing along with you, and honestly, please do more of these! They're so fun & love hearing your honest opinion on certain subjects! Also, congrats on 10 million subs, Mike! I'm happy for you, and to be part of the fun! All the love!
Edit: A show I recommend you react to sometime is Descendants Of The Sun! It's a Korean drama, and it's pretty good! They have medical scenes, so I think you should react to them!
As somebody who's struggled with PCOS for over 20 years, I felt heard :) Thank you Doctor Mike
Thank you so much for saying that about PCOS. I got diagnosed in my late teens. It effects my everyday of life. Since I got in my teens I’ve had bad acne, heavy painful periods which made me so weak and prone to faint I had to go to the ER or be at bedrest. The struggle to lose weight despite being ultrahealthy and exercising. The struggle with both being superhairy on the body and at the same time going through hair loss (still not fully recovered. Having some spots on the sides of my head). Having hormonal headaches and then lastly: problem with infertility… going through ivf and have had five miscarriages… im going from being really angry to then switch to grieving and crying. Pcos is no joke…
I have PCOS and one thing most people don't know how it also comes with anxiety. And after being a literal hermit last couple of years thanks to pandemia, it's getting so much worse than it was before.
Love that you mentioned nurses! They are so underrated! I was just watching scrubs and saw a provider inserting a catheter. They need to give nurses more credit on shows.
Love your channel Dr. Mike!
Mad respect to all the nurses I've had during my multiple hospital stays. They've done so much for me and I can't think them enough. Especially when my family and friends couldn't visit, they were just nice to talk to
I'm glad that you say PCOS is underrated...so many people are like '' it's nothing, you are fine'' but in reality, it's NOT.
I always appreciate you featuring PCOS because I have it, it has been life changing, and it definitely isn't talked about enough. Took me literal years to get diagnosed which was torture.
Thank you so much for the awareness about PCOS. I’m 31, been dealing with it since 15 or earlier. The impact on insulin resistance is astonishing. I’ve also been bullied by my brother and his friends for having chin and chest hair and that just hurts. 😢
my sister, mom, and I all have a bit of chin hair, too. I doubt it's that uncommon.
your brother and his friends are making asses of themselves and need to find a new hobby.
Congrats on 10M Dr. Mike!!! You really deserve it, I enjoy watching you🥰
Him talking about the struggles of pcos even for a second made my day
As a college coach for track & field and having been an olympic lifting coach love your comment on stretching. One of the biggest things for me to get athletes to "buy into" coming in as freshman is the idea of not static stretching before the workout and focusing on a dynamic warm-up and active stretching prior to training and competing and using static stretching as a way to increase range of motion. One of the only Dr.s I've heard actual reference that unfortunately.
I was about to sleep but Dr. Mike uploaded a video and I could not resist to watch it. My man keep it up
The way I look forward to every video he releases like he just makes my day better
My mom is a nurse, they do so so much on the station and they are suffering because they are understaffed, have old equipment and have to deal with unfriendly and straight up mean patients because they are not doctors
Also if you decide to get the nurses a gift after they took care for your loved one, they will remember it. My mom talks about little thank you gifts for days after it and she will also remember friendly patients for longer
Don’t forget your ICU nurses, they work just as hard as emergency nurses or the ones on the birth floor
Good Doctor is one of the only medical shows that I actually respect
Same
Facts
5:32 very true. Also, I take very good care of my nurses when I go in for chemotherapy 😌 one of them literally moved her computer into my room so she could watch Luca with me!
RESPECT YOUR NURSES! 💙🤙
I recently had a total knee replacement, I was in the hospital for 4 days. My nurses were awesome! I always tried my best to thank them. They are there to help us, and are so busy! They have a lot of patients to take care of and at the same time.
Appreciate the shoutout for PCOS. It's far more than just a fertility issue - I never plan on becoming pregnant but PCOS still affects my life every day. Energy, mood, weight, hair loss/growth. It's emotionally and physically draining, and doctors' "solutions" are pathetic. There needs to be much more research and awareness about this condition - it's one of the most common problems affecting women but it's so painfully unrecognized, most people have never even heard of it before. I hadn't until I was suffering for years and did enough research to diagnose myself (I did get officially diagnosed btw, but no other doctor had caught it until I went in and said "I think I have PCOS, can you check"). It's horrible and I truly feel like it's at the root of my depression and anxiety and general suffering in life. I wish it would magically disappear.
I appreciate you speaking up for PCOS. It’s honestly miserable, and I bawled when I got my diagnosis. I wondered if I was even a woman if I couldn’t have children, and the amount of pain I go through every month is unreal. It reeeally needs to be talked about more.
As for the cold showers, it’s the only thing that pulls me out of a panic attack. Does it suck? Yes, yes it does, but it’s never longer than a minute cause NOPE. No thank you lol
"I wondered if I was even a woman if I couldn’t have children" brainwashed much?
I had/have severe anxiety and the only thing that really helps is cooler showers. Just the last 30 seconds of a shower being cooler everyday sucked a TON but was honestly worth it for me. My therapist recommended it since meds weren't helping. I thought it was a dumb idea but I was willing to try anything and to my suprise it helped. I find it underrated in my opinion. It legit sounded like a crazy idea but it helped me.
I'm on a prescription vitamin D supplement, but I have a severe deficiency. (Like, when my doctor saw the blood test results, she and the resident with her both said "wow" at the same time. One of my other doctors actually congratulated me -jokingly- for having the lowest number he'd seen personally.) Apparently they were really low, like low single digits low.
Dr. Mike: “Ice cream is overrated”
Me: :(
Dr. Mike: “Cookies and cream milkshake?”
Me: *immediate relief and forgiveness*
Yeah honestly whenever I go to the doctor, it's the nurse that does everything, especially if I'm seeing a hospital doctor. The doctor will walk in for 2 seconds but other than that, it's mainly been the nurses helping.
I wholeheartedly agree about pcos. I have it, and there are so, so many struggles that come along with it. From weight to fertility/pregnancy issues, to acne, to painful, irregular cycles... the list goes on. A lot more people could stand to benefit from learning about it.
Trust your nurses... most of the time. As I lay here paralyzed from T11 due to a nurse having a bad day and throwing me back onto the bed, my back hit the bedrail... my life changed in 2 seconds of someone else's bad day. I used to be a nurse practioner, and I must say that I do miss USA medical facilities. To the nurses credit who paralyzed me, we were in the midst of the 2020 lockdown and construction was going on every day on the station above us... still, I am mad, but, I must say that time would drive Any nurse crazy! I have also caught multiple mistakes that could've been deadly, it's ok to ask about things and advocate for yourself. But in general, Dr Mike is correct, nurses are the front line and deserve respect. I could not help putting my situation on here. I am aware that it is not a usual situation.
You talking about the cold shower thing reminded me of my last visit to my previous GP. I went to her with a specific issue and wanted bloodwork done and she asked me if I'd prayed about it. I was so freaking mad. I kept trying to shut the conversation down and she kept pushing it. I never went back to her again.
100% on the fever thing. Me and my husband got sick recently and we both had fevers. He tried everything he could to break his, but I remembered either Dr.Mike or Dr.Jones saying to leave the fever alone and let it do it's thing. Yes, my husband's fever broke like a day before mine did, but guess who got overall better quicker! >.< I kinda showed off on him a bit, but yeah, leaving fevers alone (once not life threatening) is the way to go.
As someone who is fairly sensitive to heat (it and too much/too bright of light are my two biggest migraine triggers), I don't know about COLD showers, but a cool shower is incredibly refreshing for me. Not going to say it has monster health benefits, but between being able to cool down in the shower, and then experiencing further cooling effects from not fully drying off and letting the water evaporate from my skin...I think cool showers are about the best thing in the world in hot weather.
The streamer blue light thing you mentioned with valkyrae has been cleared up, I’m pretty sure there was some shady stuff going on, she was basically tricked into the contract with false claims of investigations etc. and she ended up cutting ties with the company once she found out there had been no studies done, just to clear up in case you didn’t know!
My mama is the best RN the world will ever know. She had always gone above and beyond for her patients, on the clock or not. Patients have changed healthcare providers that don't take their insurance just so they can keep her as their nurse. She has never gotten the respect she deserves from her employers, in recognition or pay. Saying nurses are underrated is such an understatement, but I'm still happy to hear it. Nurses are so important and care more than patients will ever know. Thank you, nurses!
Dr. Mike, Dan, Sam, Caroline, & Bear: All Underrated.
Congrats on the 10 mil. Looking forward to seeing that Diamond Play button 💎
Who's Caroline??
@@random_weirdo._.8094 Caroline is the person who makes the design for the Dr Mike merch
@@Preppybabiess oo ok thanks :D
Yeah I am a nurse and sometimes I hear something like "Oh, shouldn`t a doctor do that?" or "In TV that`s the doctors things, are you really qualified for that?" it`s kinda annoying tbh but my standard response is a little laugh and a "Oh you REALLY don`t want a doctor to this, I`d have to redo it an hour later, they are good in what they do and I`ll stick to [insert task in question]". Instant trust for some reason.
"You will see your nurse 98% more during your hospital stay than you will see your doctors"
I have to say this is fairly accurate, if not still underestimated. When I woke up from a coma, during the next 7ish weeks of recovery I think I saw one of the doctors once. The rest of it was nurses & techs. (And they were all awesome)
*Edited to fix a typo*
Thank you Doctor Mike, for your kindness towards nurses. As a nurse myself, I feel that not many people appreciate nurses.
THANK YOU for voting bariatric surgery as being underrated!! I'm 5'4" and had gastric bypass May 2021, reached 360lbs. I'm 160lbs currently and loving it. It was a VERY hard decision to make and I did develop complications, but I would 100% do it again.
Get checked for lipidema. I'm not even joking. When I reached my low weight of 143 my body just wouldn't lose anymore, was showing signs of starvation. TL;DR: I had undiagnosed lipidema and the weight was an improper glycolic interaction with fat that can only be broken down with MLD and certain vibration frequencies.
It was assumed I had cellulite--they were pockets of glycogen-infused fat from every carb I was putting in my body being supported by incompetent *deep* veins--the deep version of varicose veins.
If you get it treated *now* while you're at or reaching your lows, you'll have fewer problems with pain, constipation, and blood clots and then you won't have to go through my 8-year journey hahahahahaha
There is a body type commonly associated with obesity that is indicative of lipidema. And you want to get it treated before it turns into secondary lymphedema and you feel like you have plantar fasciatis before you didn't wear your tights, brush your legs, and use an air compressor to pump you from the waist down. Go get checked for insufficient venus reflux if you're having weakness or tiredness in your legs, or signs of varicose veins and they can get you going--do not assume this is just your skin getting thinner or your veins coming more out because of the weight loss.
You don't know yourself until you lose 2" a thigh after a drainage session--and it would have been easier when I was healthier within that initial surgery window than it is now. It's crazy
“IT PROTECTS CANCER”
Me: hol up. I thought we were supposed to *prevent* cancer not protect it?
r u blind it legit said prevent edited in on the screen
I appreciate you talking about PCOS. It's genuinely a painful struggle.
8:15 Based. I don't want a 60'' TV in my car, it's so weird that most cars nowdays have basically an iPad in the interior. Also, i think that infotainment systems like this should not be allowed in cars, because it's almost as distracting as a phone, and requires the driver to take the eyes off the road (with physycal buttons you can just remember where everything is). But is 100% allowed
Congrats on 10m Dr. Mike!🎉 your an amazing doctor and deserve it!
