The full story of the teen who has autism is that the flight attendant initially said no to the first class meal purchase, but after they tried other things that didn’t work and the mother explained the situation, the flight attendant brought her a hot meal. The teen ate it and was fine and happy. About 25 minutes later there was an announcement made that the plane was making an emergency landing bc of a passenger with “behavior issues”. They landed and paramedics came on board and after seeing the teen happily sitting and watching a video, they told the crew that they had real issues to attend to and left. The police then boarded and saw the same thing as the paramedics, didn’t see any issue, and started to leave. They were stopped by the captain/pilot who spoke to them and the police went back to the family and informed them that the captain had asked the police to have the family leave the plane bc he wasn’t comfortable continuing to fly with the teen on board. The police even apologized for having to make them get off the plane. Other passengers did speak up and said that the teen was actually calm and had done nothing wrong, they said she was less disruptive than crying babies who are allowed on flights and don’t cause a flight to be diverted.
Not quite sure what's the problem with the Captain, but Captain has the right to remove a passenger if they decides the passenger is disruptive. I hope the airline booked the family on another flight.
if the crew wanted to make the best decision for the safety & comfort of ALL passengers, they would have just sold the hot meal to the kid. it's not like she was asking for it for free.
Usually airlines provide areas in the booking site to describe amy special requests especially health related issues, which the purser will inform the flight attendants before boarding. Either the parents could've mentioned the autism and the reaction, or yknow its United. They ain't known for their passenger comfort.
In Ireland, you can apply for a lanyard that indicates that you have additional needs. In Ireland, the staff are very alert to these lanyards and, in my experience, have made my childs flight experience so easy and undetected it was actually enjoyable. Perhaps the US should look into doing something similar.
Weren't you guys the first people in the world to say an intact biological male could choose to go into a women's prison simply because he said so? Yeaaaaaaaah........... Maybe you guys deal with autism that way because you're all Austistic
They have that in the UK too. And I saw some posters in the US this summer talking about implementing the sunflower lanyards there too. Hopefully it's spreading!!
@@jamesjiao That's why it won't happen. Too obvious, too effective, too cheap. Needs to cost extra for some patented pill or personal security guard or something. Yeah, that would do it. Let's do that.
As a random on the Internet who also struggles with autism, hailing from the McNugget-shaped country (Ireland), we wear a sunflower lanyard in the airport and on the plane. All staff are trained to recognise that lanyard and know, "Hey, this man (or woman) has autism", and they'll be helpful to you no matter where you are. The story of the autistic teen disgusted me. It just made me re-evaluate how lucky I am to live in a country where autism is a big deal for my generation and can be easily managed and helped along the road.
You feel lucky to live in Ireland, do you? Weren't you guys the first people in the world to say an intact biological male could choose to go into a women's prison simply because he said so? Yeaaaaaaaah........... Maybe you guys deal with autism that way because you're all Austistic.
Omg, As an autistic teen, That would be amazing, i get very overstimulated in airports and big areas, and can even become very annoying on flights, i wish there was a way in the USA to let everyone know i do have autism and im not just a spoiled brat
Well, the story went differently actually, the flight attendant said no initially but tried to get other thing but when that didn't work they brought her the food. But then they made an announcement to make an emergency stop because of a passenger with behavioral issues, paramedics and cops both showed up, the teen was fine and happy because the food was good and they left because they saw nothing wrong, but then the absolute slob of a pilot told the cops he wasn't comfortable with her on the plane so they had to take her off, they even said sorry for having to do it.
I have Asperger's and ARFID. I've been a "picky" eater since before I could talk. That family should've been prepared for the possibility that the plane will not have food that the daughter will eat. They should've brought food on the plane that they know she would eat. Or if that's not allowed, have her eat something shortly before going to the airport. The world is unfair and doesn't need to cater to every person with every kind of disability. People with Autism (as well as other disabilities) need to adapt to the world they're in, not the other way around.
Dr. Mike -- I had my own in-flight emergency experience once, and I thought for sure I would be the least helpful person, since I have been a psych nurse for 15 years. BUT ... turned out to be a young woman with a full blown anxiety/panic attack. I spent the rest of the flight in the back with her, helping her remain calm and monitoring her condition after some medications, while the flight attendants gave my daughter extra snacks and a free movie.
@@ChaoticKris964 Politely saying this: I believe, there are 3.04 trillion trees with 400 replacing the oxygen you waste, go find those trees and politely apologize (If this was supposed to be nice, try finding better ways to say it)
My dad flies and he’s almost 6.5 feet tall and flies all the time. He tries to book economy plus or an exit row for comfort, but sometimes, it’s impossible due to how crowded the flight is. He had someone try to recline their seat over and over again into his knees and so he politely tapped them on the shoulder and explained the reason her seat was not reclining properly was because his knees were there. The woman asked my dad if he could put his knees somewhere else…
From what I understood when the video initially came out, was that she kept jamming her seat into him which was the issue and he became agitated because she refused to work with him.
Right. I wish someone would mention how unthoughtful and selfish the lady in front was being. I can bet she has no spinal problem. Clearly, the guy behind her could not recline his seat to accommodate her reclining onto his lap. People are quick to comment on the 'reaction' but very seldom on the action. It is sad, but true.
As soon as I saw the video title I just knew Mike's flight story would be mentioned. He's like that weird uncle that always tell you the same story every time you see him 🤣
@@MeppyMan I dunno. It was kind of BS to act like a plastic surgeon or dermatologist wouldn't know how to handle anaphylaxis. Anyone who performs surgery often enough (plastics guy) will have encountered a patient having an anaphylactoid reaction to anaesthesia if they practice long enough. In fact, any 12 year old with a serious allergy knows how to give themselves an EpiPen, and inform people that they are experiencing a time-critical medical emergency. All he did was give someone an injection.
@@sophiophile they didn't have Epipen on the plane. He used Epinephrine and injected medicine into his leg muscle, then monitored the guy's condition. I don't think all 12yo kids know how to deal with it without EpiPen.
@@sophiophile My Dude if we're complaining about retelling stories at least listen to it once. Doctor Mike's experience there caused the FAA to make epipens on flights mandatory from the airlines' side. It is most definitely a cool story. He did not just give someone a bloody epipen and then tell the world about it, he actually helped enact legislative change.
I agree with the hygiene theory 100% When my youngest cousin was little, he would lick EVERYTHING! Walls, floors, tables, toys, etc. He even licked a swing at a public park once. He's 13 years old now and he almost never gets sick. His parents and sister will all get sick at the same time, but he won't. But I am not suggesting that parents should let their kids lick anything in sight.
Heneral daily bacteria is fine, but there are some nasty diseases out there that you can't just "strong immune system" your way out of. People use too much bleach but... The reason why the average life expectancy went up is because of hygeine practices. Clean vs disinfected
Almost like there was this thing called natural immunity that protected every human being ever born on this planet for all of time, and we didn't need to give people auto-immune diseases by injecting gene therapies to try and give them fake immunity, eh? Wild!
1:00 We did our "what is a service animal?" ADA compliance seminar at work recently (I'm in NY), and according to DOJ ruling, miniature horses are the only animal besides dogs that can count as service animals under ADA, if they've been likewise trained to perform a task for a person with a disability. Also, I beg you, PLEASE do not get a fake "service animal" vest just because you can't bear to be parted from Fifi as you do your errands. Every time a business puts up with your poorly behaved fake, you're making life harder for people who ACTUALLY need a service dog's help.
NY, you say? Everything going on in NY and your DOJ is making rulings on miniature horses and service animals, eh? You'd think the DOJ would be more concerned about the monkeys on your streets, but I guess when you play Leftist games, you win Marxist prizes.
THANK YOU! As a Service Animal Handler, I appreciate people knowing and saying something! It makes my life so much easier! I can't stand seeing all these fakes because people just want to bring their dogs everywhere. Mine has been attacked so many times that I have almost had to retire her. Thankfully, she mostly takes it in stride. But people need to stop doing it
Except that services animals and emotional support animals are vastly different things and the ADA and the ACAA, and the U.S. DOT cover this. They (The ACAA) USED to cover emotional support animals but able bodied people fucked that up. It was amended in 2021. People do often bring their pets and try to pass them off in places, injuring service dog teams. It's a shame.
I’ll have it be known, as a woman with ponytails, a ponytail going over the seat like that is a movement that has to be assisted… It doesn’t just “happen.” 😂
Was on a flight with a mom and her son who seemed to have autism or some other behavioural issues that were beyond her ability to control. I remember looking at her, trying to communicate empathy and support, but she was in the throws of her sons distress and just assumed my attempt at connection was in an effort to communicate annoyance and she instinctively said sorry. Feel so bad that people who need more empathy and accommodation have the experience to expect to have to apologise for their needs, rather than expect humanity.
The worst Dr to have in a medical emergency? "I have a PhD in philosophy!" "He's dying!" "Okay, but what exactly constitutes as 'dying'? For what is really 'living'?"
I love that Dr. Mike actually cares about all perspectives and wants to have all the facts before judging a situation. He truly loves to learn and grow as a person and a professional.
So nice to hear you saying about the aerosolised faecal particles when you flush the toilet. I hate it when people visit my house and flush the toilet with the seat up. Nobody who lives here would ever do this after watching a video with the UV lights showing the particles, but other people tell me that I’m weird for it.
I now keep my toothbrush in the medicine cabinet instead of on the sink counter, but what prompted me to make that change was other people flushing with the seat lid up. I threw out my toothbrush and got a new one more than once and people thought I was nuts. xD
Personally, I do not put the lid down to flush; I presume the particles would eject at higher pressure with reduced open area. But then, too, I live alone (but for my two cats). I can say if I were at someone's has and saw they keep the lid down, I would follow my host's lead.
@@dennisanderson3895 That makes absolutely no sense. How would the particles get out at all if you have the lid down? That's literally what the lid is for, to keep particles from spraying everywhere.
@@soccerchamp0511 It is not an air-tight, vacuum seal, now is it? Saw a vid of a young fellow in a no-electricity village rig air conditioning with pop bottles; 3 or 4 dozen - they were set so the wind through the larger end, accelerated with greater output through the neck. Particles will be shot out through that small gap the cushioning "feet" on the seat cause and the not-air-tight gap tween seat and lid. (But lid is also good for NOT dropping something and have it go in the water!)
@@dennisanderson3895 You are comparing two things that are totally different. Most toilets don't generate that much force when they flush. There may be a few particles that get out between that gap, but there won't be nearly as many as there would be leaving the lid up. Then you are literally having bacteria sprayed all over whatever is around the toilet.
I had a young guy asleep on my shoulder for 4 hours flying from lax to nz! He ended up being a new doctor starting in NZ and seemed exhausted. My bro is a doctor and I have great respect for all drs. Luckily I ended up going to sleep too, when he woke up he apologised!
I feel bad for the person being filmed asleep on the other passenger's shoulder. They can't help their body shifted in their sleep and didn't ask to be a part of someone's tiktok. Is there no such thing as respecting privacy or asking before you film someone anymore? I understand public spaces and unintentional faces but this was clear intent without consent. Just tap the sleeper and ask them to shift back or let them be, your choice, but don't pull out your phone to film them.
As a teacher of kids with special needs, I never thought of being needed in an emergency situation. But I have been able to help two young people on the spectrum and their adults get through two separate flights.
i feel like the reclining seat issue is moreso a problem with how cramped airplane seating has become. I swear the space between seats has gotten smaller and smaller and it's hard enough fitting with the seats all up (i'm 5'3 and small-medium build). It really sucks because as some people have stated, they need to recline to stretch their legs out or their legs ache horrifically (esp on long hauls), but then the seat behind has to do the same thing or be squashed lol
And on an on until the last seat that is already the one with the least space and UNABLE to recline. Reclining is rude - and the airlines should make it so that no seat reclines.
1000%. Everyone is constantly debating about reclining or not reclining, when the discussion should actually be about how stingy airplane companies have become. They make billions of dollars, and yet still refuse to give their customers any decent amount of room. It's like they're hell bent on making flying as miserable of an experience that is humanely possible.
The space definitely gets smaller and smaller because airlines try to maximize their profits by squeezing as many seats into the plane as possible, especially on short-distance flights (1-3h). I flew a lot in Europe in the early 2010's due to a business project in another country and a long-distance relationship and I never had any problems with the spacing (I'm 1.94m / 6'4). Nowadays my knees bump against the seat in front of me even when I'm sitting fully upright and it's extremely uncomfortable (I still don't recline my seat though).
I was on a 10 hour flight. My seat was broken and could not recline. I just had to accept that I would be the only one sitting up whilst everyone else slept (there were no empty seats I could move to). I did not get upset with the people around me for reclining their seats, I just asked the guy next to me if he was ok with me having a little light on so I could read and dealt with it
@@_fishy_3324 Same, I see less than 1% recline when I fly - I don't know why 72% sided with the woman - they probably never fly anyway and don't get it.
@@noonyakaleka2098 Basically everyone reclines on 12-18 hour transcontinental flights at some point in my experience. If anything it sounds like you only take domestic flights.

Thank you for reminding people that you don't have to clean every single surface in every place you go because of the normal presence of bacteria, which is a statement that would shock my friends and family. See, I have very severe OCD, and Covid was the first glimmer of understanding I've seen from other people because they could finally see how miserable it was to be preoccupied with it all the time. It made a *lot* more people a *little* more like me. But you don't WANT to be like me. I've had worsening OCD my whole life. My immune system has always been weaker than others' - I get sick incredibly easily, and it's brutal every time. There are places I can't go and things I can't do because they involve touching things I refuse to touch - or no access to excessive hand washing. My anxiety is truly out of control, and once OCD gets as bad as mine is, your hope in treatment relies more on lessening the severity rather than getting rid of it entirely - I've been told by my doctors that even a 30% decrease in symptoms would be a huge victory for me. This is not a way to live. So no, you don't have to wipe down every high touch surface in your life or wash your hands every time you think about bacteria or germs. Your body and mind will be more equipped to handle the normal world, and you'll be much happier for it.
I have OCD also. Those who don't have it don't understand that it's not a choice we make just to be a jerk and inconvenience everyone around us. We don't CHOOSE to be this way. It's so difficult and embarrassing to try to even explain the thoughts in your head, why you do what you do. Lots of internalized shame. But it doesn't have to be that way forever. Thankfully I have improved greatly with treatment. I hope you can find good therapy and treatment as well, advocate for yourself, a better life is possible❤🙏🏻
@@danise1856 So true. It's impossible to explain in a way that people can understand if they haven't been through it. "Just stop" isn't an option - if it were, we'd do that. I'm glad to hear that things have started to get better for you! 😊
Please do not take this as flippant in any way, but I had debilitating OCD for years and have been "in recovery" for 4 now. I just want to say you're not alone. I know you have likely tried many many many therapies, so I don't want to give annoying advice, but doing vagus nerve work (polyvagal theory, vasovagal exercises, there are a few names) to try to balance my whacked out nervous system is what really (i think) turned the corner for me. I want to send you so much love and support.
@@lauramoore8823 Thank you for your support. I love and support you as well. ❤️ I do love poly vagal theory, but I haven't used it in conjunction with my OCD treatment, so I'll have to try a method that uses it more.
So you have a mental illness that causes you to imagine life-threatening germs on every surface, and when the rest of the world dipped into mass formation psychosis and their own mental illness, you were at least able to recognize their behavior was a mental illness like your own? Good on you. If you *ever* wear a mask I suggest you educate yourself on mask wearing, go back to Spanish Flu and bacterial pneumonia and work your way forward to the first studies in 1979 about how harmful it was to your health and immune system to wear a mask, keep working your way through the 70 or so peer reviewed publications validating these findings and showing how increased CO2 in your blood stream from wearing a mask puts your brain in a state of fear and panic (more susceptible to control) and then finish up with the Occupational Health & Safety of any 1st world country and their *exhaustive* data on mask wearing and the health of workers. Then never wear one again and tell everybody around you how harmful they are and that if *YOU* know better with your germaphobia and OCD, *THEY* should *CERTAINLY* not be acting crazy, wearing masks or telling others to wear them.
Airline employees aren't government employees. Sorry, Mike. lol My poor Mom didn't realize she had a sinus infection when we were flying one time. Halfway through the flight, she was in agony! The flight attendant was bad ass and brought her a warm towel and a cup. My Mom looked silly, but holding the steamy cup over her ear helped A LOT!
About the reclining option on seats, while I do agree you have the option, people do tend to abuse it. In a bus I was in, the guy in front of me reclined all the way down (which was WAY too much btw, what the actual heck was that), to the point I actually had trouble breathing and could not feel my legs. I also could see his face and top of his head to give you an idea. And while I am chubby, I am not overweight enough for that to be the root of the issue. Of course he refused to give me any more space. I had to ask for help because I was on the verge of passing out while the guy snored.
Couldn't you recline your own seat to get some space back? 🤔 I've _never_ heard of any seat reclining to the point of giving the person behind it trouble breathing 🫨

My knees hurt even if their seat is not reclined. That's why I try to buy a seat with extra leg room so I can extend my legs. But if they recline it's horrible
11:35 thank you! Every time someone fearmongers about how many bacteria are there on the surfaces in public places, I get frustrated, because there are _a lot_ of bacteria, even dangerous ones, on people's skin, their outter clothing, their cell phones, and in the air they breath. Human bodies evolved to deal with that, thought, and unless one has a related medical condition, one needn't to worry about it. For most people excessive cleaning doesn't really do anything except wasting energy and feeding anxiety.
Excessive cleaning can trigger allergies, maybe auto-immune diseases too. We have lived our lives with certain bacteria load, so constantly removing it.. well, it seems to throw our bodies somehow out of sync. All cleanliness freaks I know have some chronic illnesses, just my personal observation. Maybe its the same as with taking antibiotics without really good reason, it wipes all the good germs with the bad.
Yeah. Annoys me. Even know I'm a bit of a germaphobe. There are lots of things you should clean but a seat pocket is not one of them. People should consider cleaning their phones, or drinking water .-. or *hands*
@@Mallchad I know, right? As a man, the amount of times I've seen people leave public restroom without washing their hands is certainly concerning. "Don't do excessive cleaning" certainly doesn't mean "just forget the basic hygiene"
Hey, also, PSA for literally everything: working in food service for 6 months, I can confidently tell you that I was one of maybe 2 people that cleaned the spigots for the soda machine regularly. Restaurants don’t always stay up to code. Be aware you might be drinking soda from a funky fountain
Yeah after working food service I’ve always been skeptical of soda fountains. My restaurant we cleaned them daily at closing but I know plenty of spots around me that don’t
Mcdonalds MIGHT clean the orang juice machine once a month. In the 19 months I worked at one, we called the smoothie cleaning guy three times. He was horrified the first time. And used that very slow day to teach me how to clean it, properly. Probably because I was genuinely curious and was totally willing to help. Whoever replaced me did such a poor job the machine got hopelessly jammed and finally died
As someone who works at Starbucks, I'm one of the only people who wipes almost anything down at work. I'm constantly finding disgusting spots all over he place.
Oh my god I’ve had severe motion sickness my entire life and have to take Dramamine to even go to the store, I had no idea there were patches or wristbands or things like that. I felt like I just had to deal with it myself as even my doctors just say “idk take a nausea pill I guess” this might just change everything
I would never punch a seat in front of me, but as a very tall man it is incredibly frustrating and even painful (to my knees) when someone reclines into me. Due to this frustration mechanic by the airlines, I pay more for exit row now.
@@janelbbuck I'm short and usually travel alone. I have no physical reason not to, but I still don't recline my seat because I know how crappy it is. And I have the decency to not inflict it on others.
I learned that I don't actually experience motion sickness on planes -- it's altitude sickness! Plane cabins are pressurized to be similar to 4k-8k above sea level, which is way higher than I live at... I start getting altitude sickness symptoms at 4k when I visit mountains, so when I learned this it made so much sense. I always feel sick, kind of loopy, and tired...
6:05 the worst part is they asked to purchase a meal from first class they were willing to pay the extra. They weren't trying to scam anyone or be entitled.
A colleague is a Consultant Psychologist in an acute setting in the UK. On a transatlantic flight they asked for a doctor, she notified the crew she is a doctor, albeit trained a long while since involved general medicine, she was the only medical doctor who would lay hands on the patient. Two US docs refused to do anything but offer advice because of insurance issues... afraid of being sued. The psychiatrist kept the passenger going until an ambulance crew took over on landing. She didn't get sued.
for context on the baby one - under international law, the baby is officially born in the country that owns the plane or the country that the plane is licensed under.
THANK YOU for going over that Liquid I.V. thing.

I have a seat reclining story that my mum told me. I was like 3 or 4 and we had a really long flight and I wasn’t able to sleep at all. When we went on to the connecting flight I managed to fall asleep, so my mom reclined the seat just a tiny bit to make me more comfortable. Then out of nowhere the guy behind started kicking the seat really hard. My mom asked him politely to stop and explained the situation. He just kicked my seat even harder. My mum told the flight attendant and she told him off and even told my mom he still had lot of leg space. He still kicked my seat. My mum eventually told him would he rather a have a grumpy child having a tantrum because she has no sleep within the last 24 hours or would he just accept the fact that he lost a little bit of leg room. Edit May 22: Just asked my mom about the story again today, and the connecting flight was rather short since it was from London to Edinburgh. I also forgot to add the fact he did stop after she gave him the would you rather.
@@greenapple9477 I was the daughter. How can I be my own daughter? But yeah it was a jerk move of him to go immediately into kicking a sleeping 3/4 year olds seat.
12:20 My dad said when he was a kid in school, they got some petri-dishes with growth medium and the class was going to see who could grow the best culture. Everyone ran to the bathrooms except him and one other kid. They took samples from their wool socks. Everyone else had tiny cultures growing, but theirs were completely full. The thing is that, bathrooms are regularly cleaned with powerful disinfectants, they will still have bacteria, but you can definitely get waaay more from your own sweaty sock.
I’m autistic and that made me upset that they wouldn’t accommodate a disabled child with food and even kicked them out. I don’t know the full story but from what I do know and have experienced, that is just messed up. Edit: some people are fighting in the comments and I just want to clear some things up since i researched the news story. I definitely agree that If the airline didn’t have enough food that makes sense not to serve them, however, that is not what happened as they got served the food. Even if they didn’t have enough that does not excuse them for kicking the family on a baseless ableist rhetoric. They caused no problems to the airline and the airline kept calling the police and EMT. They both said there was nothing wrong but the airline chose to go out of their way to kick out the family. THE AIRLINE WAS BEING ABLEIST.
I seriously do not know why these people, who are supposed to make the experience better for everyone mind you, decided to just kick them out and not reciprocate or anything. I feel so bad on behalf of the kid and her family :[
I wonder though, did her parents contact the airline in advance and explain the situation? Or did they just suddenly, in the middle of a busy flight, make an unusual request that the flight attendants had no established procedure for accomodating? I'm pretty sure the attendants are trained to not deviate from standard procedures while the plane is in the air, and if this was a sudden, unexpected request I think we should cut them some slack. Of course having them removed from the flight seems extreme, but we don't know how disruptive the young lady had become, and also we don't know how her parents were behaving...
I remember that over Spring Break, me and my orchestra group were coming home, and I was one of the last to be seated, so I had to sit next to this young couple and their child, I was so tired, I got worried if I fell asleep, I would accidentally lean against the lady. I ended up falling asleep, but leaning against the window, they were such a sweet couple and even though their baby was crying earlier, they kept quiet and let me sleep
Call me crazy, but shouldn't we have an EMT on every flight, or have flight attendants be trained in basic medical stuff, and not be hoping that doctors are always flying? 😢
I don't know how things are in the US but in Europe EMTs can't administer any medication (or very few). You'll always need a trained doctor to do these kinds of things. It would also be a big liability problem. I guess they do what they can but asking for a medical professional is always a good idea. It doesn't even have to be a doctor. An experienced nurse that's been working in the hospital is likley to do just as good a job as a doctor in emergency situations.
That would make the airlines have to pay their employees a LOT more. If flight attendants became trained in proper paramedic fashion, airlines would probably jack up their prices by another 10% at LEAST.
i just wanna thank Mike for taking time out of his very busy day as a doctor to give us some wonderfully entertaining but also educational videos. i have my first a level exam tomorrow and i’m quite nervous, and usually i feel guilty when doing things that aren’t revising. watching dr Mike’s videos are still for my own enjoyment, but i don’t get guilty because it feels like i’m still learning (even though i’m a humanities and linguistics girl and am doing very un-scientific subjects). thank you dr Mike!!

The reclining seat one is a real problem. It happened to me on the bus. It is very annoying when you are in the last seat, and the person in front of you reclines his/her seat. You have very little space left. If you are claustrophobic or have other anxieties, the situation becomes really uncomfortable, especially since you are stuck in that chair for several hours. And let us not forget that the seats in airplanes are really small and crowded. On several occasions i had to ask the person in front of me if s/he couldn't raise it a little. on the other hand, punching someone's chair is not a behaviour fit for an adult.
As I see it, the problem can be addressed to some extent by reclining your seat as well (whether you want to or not). But in this case, in the video, the guy punching the seat (agreed, it is not the right approach) could not recline his seat as there seems to be a kind of divider wall/partition behind his seat, preventing him from reclining his seat. Airlines should be more thoughtful while designing the layout of the seats. In this case, the selfish lady reclining her seat was just being a b****. I am sure she has not medical issue and even if she had, seeing the situation, she should have changed her seat with someone else.
@@Anione111 the lady paid for her seat, and it is allowed to recline that much. If there is a medical condition and reclining seat is necessary, it is even more justify regardless whether you believe it to be true or not. Since it is on the news, I can only assume her statement is verified. The way I see it, if it is a short trip, I can usually last without reclining my seat at all. However, for a very long flight 10-20 hr, at that point, everyone has to recline at some point. If the guy bought an unfortunate seat that can't be decline, then im pretty sure those seat is cheaper, or it's the airline not taking into account the design of the seat, the blame should not be on the one with medical condition who paid for her seat.
@@favlam1408 Exercising your right doesn't have to come at the expense of empathy, consideration, and thoughtfulness. If it does, it is called selfishness, and not in a good way.
@@Anione111 I did said "if it is a short trip, I can usually last without reclining my seat at all", however, if it is a medical condition, I'm not gonna prioritize someone's comfort for my health. Especially if it's a long trip, then everybody will have to recline at some point. Your so called "selfishness" can work for both sides btw.
@@favlam1408 Even if we believe she has a medical condition, and she has to recline onto a guy, who can't recline his own seat, hence his space and comfort is severely compromised by her action, it is still not okay. Like I said selfishness has become normalized. I, me, mine. Your response proves my point. On realizing the predicament of the guy behind her, she could have apologized, initiated a dialogue, and together they could have worked out a solution. One of which could be her requesting a change of seat with another passenger without a "medical condition," since it would've been more difficult for the guy at the back to do so.
10:12 Almost. There is one exception to this rule and that is if they were born in the US, but their parents are diplomats. That is the case for my sister, she was born in the US but is not American. This has caused a lot of confusion, especially in America. She applied to work at Disney Epcot, and they literally asked her why she, despite being born in the US, didn’t consider herself American. Took a couple of weeks before they actually understood xD
The hack with neck pillows is that you have to hook em or turn em. It supports the neck better and when you’re looking down such as at your phone your neck isn’t bending down all the way.
I used to work on cruise ships and they would hand out meclizine to the crew like it was candy. It took me a while to figure this out but you can actually train away the motion sickness response. What I would do is start taking meclizine the moment the ship is underway whether I needed it or not. Was I miserably tired all the time? Yes. However, after about a week of not getting sea sick, you can stop taking it and you'll probably be fine without it since you effectively severed the association of motion with feeling sick. Once I did that, I would only need to take it again if we hit really rough seas.
Weirdly, my twin had severe motion sickness when we were kids but grew out of it, while I had the opposite. I never had motion sickness when we were little, but sometime during puberty, I started getting motion sickness. It has slowly progressed over the years to where now I can't even watch certain films, if the camera jumps around too much.
The hygiene theory/hypothesis is so interesting! In many places where parasites are more common, autoimmune diseases are less common! Some people even go under helminth therapy, usually its hookworms that they willingly get to help alleviate symptoms.
The guy pushing/punching the seat was a bit rude. But to his defense, he was sitting in the last row against a wall. Those seats are already cramped. They don't recline. They are closer to the seat in front of him than the other rows. The last row against the wall should be removed for more useful space other than to squeeze a few more bucks out of a flight. I had the unfortunate experience of being seated in one on a cross country flight. Very miserable indeed.
For that I blame the airline, not the passenger who reclines their seat. If I'm in the last row, I know what I'm in for, but seriously, these airlines act all shocked that people hate being crammed into small seats in tight spaces with no leg room, no elbow room, and then some people lose their tempers.
My drink spilled all over the place and on my mini laptop because... Someone reclined while the tray was deployed. Tell me why no one talks about how this is the primary issue lol
My hack with the neck pillow is to place it onto the tray and lie face-down onto it. It's surprisingly comfortable, but be mindful that it can give you a bad back if you have a bad seating position.
I feel for the woman with the miniature horse. Miniature horses WERE considered under ADA law as acceptable service animals until 2011, and are still considered in certain cases. If she is allergic to dogs, and has her horse task trained, she still needs that service animal while traveling and should be allowed to have it. Because they removed Mini Horses from the ADA definition, she’s screwed out of the ability to access air travel. That’s super unfair.
Having a baby in international waters should result in having a nationality from the country you left from and it should only apply to a different country when you are physically on the ground and deliver in that country.
Unless you've passed TSA Preclearance in somewhere like Abu Dhabi or Dublin and a few others. Then because you've cleared US customs, you're in the US.
Technically, that's what the original intent of the birthright citizenship clause people keep referring to. The child is supposed to be a citizen of whatever country the parents are citizens of, regardless if they landed in the US or not. This also extends to US citizens who have children abroad. Your child is still a US citizen as long as one of the parents is a US citizen, even if the child is born outside of the US.
ships and planes are registered in a country and soil of that country, if you're born on a cruise ship that's registered in Panama... your place of birth is Panama... even if the cruise was in the mediterean
11:26 Before pandemic I used to fly 3-4 times a year and sometimes get sick after getting off the plane. I then started to do a simple wipe down with disinfection wipes after boarding, and just the table and my hands before meal services. The truth is, they don't clean the tray table and arm rest very often. Think about it, they have 45 minutes to turn a plane around, so they don't really have the time to clean all the crevices on tray tables, seats, and under the seats. Air on planes are clean they pass though filters and more than half of the air are actually fresh from the outside (through the engine intake). What was not cleaned are the air nozzles.
I remember one time on a plane someone in front of me had a great headache, plus according to the passengers next to her, recently had surgery. Before the flight attendants noticed, a 50 year old looking woman with a small medical purse walked up to her and gave her some pain killers, checked her pulse, and breathing. I also had a little headache, and she gave me a panadol
3:00 - We came back from a conference once and there was a medical emergency. We had 5 doctors with us...all forensic medicine :-) But since there was no other medical personnel on board, they went for it. And never told the patient their specialization^^ He had a heart attack but was stabilized and most likely survived, because we checked for his name the next week and he never came to our department. But all physicians have basic clinical training for several years and when they go to their exams, they are tested in those. At least they have some decent understanding of what to do, even if they are "just" radiologists or ENTs^^
As a person who works in the public library system, I believe it. We try to clean the keyboards as often as possible (like a deep, take all the keys off and get all the stuff underneath kind of and clean) but people can be gross, especially when the they know the item isn't theirs.
7:12 you said “as long as everyone has the ability to recline their seats.” I don’t believe it’s reason to punch someone’s seat in front of you, it does look like the dude is in the very back row and those seats on most planes do not recline. Just a note.
Mini horses started as service animals for wheelchair pulling and other mobility tasks. Mini horses and dogs are both recognized on a federal level as being service animals. I'm not sure how it could perform a true task for psychiatric though (feeling better by it being there or being calmed by petting it aren't considered tasks by ADA)
I assume they’d be able to do (some, if not all) things that dogs do, like providing medication reminders (be it bringing the bottle or even waking the person up in the morning). They could provide calming pressure, guide the person out of overwhelming situations, get help for the person, circle or sit near the person to give them personal space, etc?
Horses, just like dogs can sense when a person's blood sugar drops. They can also be trained to give a handler ques to take their medications and they are also very sensitive to human emotions, vocal tone and facial expressions. They can even be trained to guide visually impaired people.
@@horse14t You're not incorrect about horse sensitivity. My concern (as someone who worked in the horse industry and who has owned/ridden/trained horses for decades) is that, unlike dogs, horses are prey animals that can react extremely quickly (and sometimes violently) to stimuli that might not bother a dog. A mini horse is naturally not as dangerous as a larger equine, and minis do tend to be much calmer than their larger cousins, but still I don't see them as being comparable to dogs as service animals. Yes, the woman in this video was allergic to dogs, and her horse was actually an emotional support animal, not a service animal, so there's really nothing to compare. I personally am glad airlines have cracked down on the over-use of the "emotional support" excuse because so many of the animals weren't trained and weren't appropriate on the flights. While the horse in the video appeared to be trained and well-behaved, too many other animals are not.
I once had to go on a 14-day cruise with my parents. The previous year I did not have any nausea but that year, my seasickness was so severe I had to take travel sickness medication as well as wear the travel sickness wristband at all hours of the day (only excluding being in the shower), including while I was sleeping. Thankfully the seasickness started to subside after the first week but it might’ve been more to do with the fact that I got a bad cold from my mum that second week so I was distracted from the nausea.
My mother recently had a fusion almost all the way up to the bone that let's you turn your head because there was soft tissue pushing down on her spine and the doctors had no idea where it was coming from but the doctor said and I quote "it was causing very severe issues with her movement." and she's still in rehab and the doctor also said that she will barely be able to move her neck from now on.
thank you so much for always having english and spanish CC, it helps so much with my ADHD and i get to enjoy watching your videos with my friends 💖💖💖💖💖
The story with the teen who had autism made me so mad I actually had to pause the vudeo to calm myself down. It hit close to home because I have a 13 year old brother who's autistic and hes treated so poorly by kids his age and people never want to be his friend because of his habits and how he's non verbal due to his autism. It just infuriates me that the airline kicked the teen's family off just because she's autistic.
yeah, you demonstrating and then bragging about not being able to control your emotions and how easily triggered you are, says all I needed to know about your family to realize you are not the victims in your story. It's always everybody else, right? The very *idea* of taking personal responsibility probably puts you into a panic attack.
HOW DARE YOU. As someone who is autistic, autism is VERY real. It's not asking for attention It's not being a spoiled brat IT IS NOT FAKING IT It's sobbing over my schoolwork because my brain can't function anymore It's being terrified to speak when I meet someone new and say the wrong thing IT IS REAL. @@DoctorKamino

I would just like to say thank you so much to Doctor Mike because I almost died chocking and if I hadn’t seen your videos I wouldn’t know what to do. Thank you so much your helping people every day and I love that!!!❤
For our church choir trip our "nurse" was a radiologist and it was funny sometimes because while he was first aid trained and stuff he would talk using words to make seem like he knew more then he actually did. Great guy, and he did help.
I actually had someone who used Liquid I.V. and said it actually worked for him the way it says it does. He works in an intense labour job, outside all day pretty much and he told me that he used to drink four bottles of water (Idr the size of his bottle I just remember it was four of them) out on the job but after adding Liquid I.V. he noticed he only had to drink two of them. That honestly sold it for me considering the consistency xD 13:40 I'd just pull it :)
At 9:46 , if a baby is born on an aircraft I believe they adopt either the country that they departed from, the country they are flying to or the current country that they are flying over! So the parents will usually or likely pick the country they departed from if it is their home country
as far as the motion sick one goes: scopolamine patches have opened up my world. i can barely make it on a 1 hour flight with dramamine, so the thought of ever leaving the country was not feasible. found out the patches were a thing, gave em a try, all of the sudden im excited to travel to other countries and 10+ hour flights are doable.
5:30 Besides she said purchase not for free usually airlines will have the option for you to purchase a first class meal but it'll cost you a lot she asked to. Purchase it not get it for free
I definitely appreciate you mentioning that whole thing about covering the mouth with tape. I understand the desire to do so but it's a risk they shouldn't take.
I've used the travel bands after having a lot of anxiety that induced nausea, even in the middle of the night. I was also having extreme back pain due to having excessive weight on my chest (causing some degeneration of the disks in my lower back), before I went in for surgery to get rid of that extra weight, the travel bands worked really well. After surgery they put me on a medication that stopped me from feeling nauseous or throwing up and I misplaced the bands, but the pressure points that the bands use still work in a pinch... You just can't use your hands while applying the pressure to your wrists.
As a sailor who takes folks out fairly often, I got a set of the wrist bands on impulse. One friend who was getting queazy tried them after a bit and declared that they worked, to my surprise.
Hello, I'm a flight attendant. I've seen people walking barefoot on the remainings of the biohazard kit we use to clean up vomit, people changing babies on seats and tray tables, people throwing used tampons and half eaten sandwiches in a toilet compartment where we keep clean napkins and sickbags. I don't know who needs to hear this, but in a plane you're in a public space that you're sharing with several hundreds of strangers. Please keep it clean and tidy as you'd like to find it.
Pro tip: Airplane pillows are used incorrectly most of the time, flip them around so your chin rests on what used to be the back, and use the sides for neck support while you sleep
I highly recommend ginger gum. If you’re feeling extremely nauseated and even if you’ve already thrown up and you’re just needing something to help you feel less sick to a piece of ginger gum and within about 30 seconds, you start feeling less nauseated. Ginger in many forms works as a great antimetic.
My husband, a forensic pathologist came forward when a doctor was required on a plane. He tried to hide but there was no one else. Fortunately he had just completed ACLS and ATLS for army deployment. The person just needed juice because she had taken too much insulin. He was relieved that it was something simple. The airline gave him a nice bottle of champagne.
My son has autism. I'd sue the pants off the airline if they tried this on us. In the UK it would be illegal to do this because the law states that reasonable adjustments need to be made to accommodate the needs of disabled people.
It hurts me to see people with developmental, mental and other disorders to be judged based on their actions and not understand their disorder, since it's affected me personally. I have ADHD, so at school, I can barely sit still, and I'm not organized, even with my medicine. This year, my teacher decided to keep me inside from recess every time I wasn't organized or lost something, even though I clearly needed help with doing those things, expecting me to do it on my own. The worst part is he knows I have ADHD. It's also hard for me to make friends since I can never hold still, and once a kid said I probably am Autistic since I also have Tourette Syndrome, so I make sounds that I can't control. There's literally only two people in that school who haven't judged me to a myth my ex-friend made about my mental state, saying I told her I was Autistic and mentally ill, or from my mental state in class, despite it being a Lutheran school. The point is, never judge a person's true personality by how they appear, but judge their personality by how they treat you and others around you. That's how I ended up getting someone to have a crush on me this year in the 5th grade. Trust me, you'll be much happier this way. Thank you to anyone who has read this far.
I'm so sorry to hear you're being treated this way :( If you have a 504 plan, IEP, or case worker with the school, maybe talk to your parents about bringing this up next time you meet if you can! i hope your teacher starts being more understanding and compassionate. in the meantime, just keep doing your best, friend. it's the best you can do :)
I think I have adhd and I end up staying up really late looking at my homework that I was given time to do in class but my class is super distracting and doing nothing. Then feel like a failer because I wasted all that time. It’s more prominent in high school because I have more work. But in elementary school I liked to go to the library to read I would go with my friend(I was also being bullied), I would also get bored in class because I knew the material so I would read under my desk. My teacher then banned me from going to the library or bring books outside, then I just started talking to my neighbors because I was bored. High school doesn’t care as much and I’ve had teachers allow me to go out in the pod(outside the classroom) to work.
I'm 1.9 m., and in most flight seats if the person in front of me reclines their seat it hits my knees, and not just touches. Last time I flew I had intentions of reading a book, but their seat went so far back, that I couldn't even have the book between me and the seat, plus I had the perfect view of the top of her head. I don't think people should just recline their seats, not until more room between is made or something like that. No, it's not just possible here to buy first class or something like that, this is planes for holiday destinations and all seats are just economy, the only option is at the emergency exits, but there is not many of them and they are often booked already. The angle of some trays are also at a very odd angle, since they are connected to the back of the seat and not the bottom. Disclaimer, I have not flown for a couple of years now, so might have gotten better, but I doubt it.
I hate reclining seats. Having someone else’s head basically in your lap sucks. On my last flight, the girl in front of me had her seat back even when she wasn’t using it. I couldn’t see my screen well to watch my in flight movies, and I didn’t have access to my tray table to eat. Even when the flight attendants asked people to sit up so everyone could use their tray tables l, she refused.
I worked at sea for years. Worked cabin, deck and bridge and the hardest area? Cabin by a long way! One of the first officers I worked with popping off at an arrogant passenger said something that stuck with me "Be nice to the deck crew because who do you think is looking after your car on the vehicle deck for the 3hr crossing? But be especially nice to the cabin crew because who do you think saves your butt if in the unlikely event something goes wrong?!" 😂
@@MoA-Reload... Yep. People don't realize the flight attendants' primary job is to help save your life in the event something goes wrong. If it were up to the airlines, you'd be sitting back there on your own, entertaining yourselves on your phones.
@@immikeurnot exactly. I was one of the trainers and part of my "ice breaker" speach to new starts(which was kind of stolen from that same 1st off) on first day of training to get their attention went along the lines of "if the company had their way they would fill the ship with passengers and vending machines! They only have cabin crew because that's the regs. Your job is NOT behind a bar or making tea n coffee. Your JOB is to save lives if/when things go wrong so THIS is the actual training you have to pay attention to". Company big wigs really hated us for being that blunt but it's not wrong and it was the only way to get new starts past the "I is here to do customer service stuffs" and pay attention to us. 😂
I know Abrea personally, Flirty is a fully trained SERVICE animal, she is not an emotional support pet. she is a service animal that has a very important job to do and she does it very well! she is an amazing mini horse.
One issue with the reclining seats, is that the airplanes usually put more seats in, then the plane is intended for, so if you are slightly big/tall, there is no leg room at all, and someone in front of you reclining their seat just put extra pressure on your legs.
Had an international flight sitting next to a screaming baby. Wasn't bothered, took a turn holding the baby and bouncing her around for her flustered traveling alone father. Babies cry and there's not a lot you can do. I live overseas and fly frequently. On the other side of the crazy I flew from Costa Rica to Washington D.C. sitting right in front of a dude so drunk he could only make animal like noises. Started realizing there was a problem when the flight attendants started trying to access what was going on before the flight. He friend said had a cold and was just drowsy from the meds. He started his flying adventure by sliding forward, putting his feet through the armrests and trying to plop them in my lap. It got worse from there. They called for a doctor, and a cardiologist arrived, gave the drunk guy oxygen and then it really went nuts. He started yodeling and running around the plane. We were delayed getting off the plane because the air marshals had to come arrest him first.
Ive been in a plane full of drunk Nordics for 12 h flights, but I gotta say.. I havent seen my running yodeler yet. Naked, überdrunk and mischievous guys, yes, but no yodeling!
@@janemiettinen5176 This guy had been apparently sprung from Costa Rican rehab where they were licking cane toads or something odd, and spent the time from being sprung until the flight took off getting hammered. Young American guy from a wealthy family I think. There are some crazy rehabs here that use mind bending drugs to wean you off other drugs.
"Babies cry and there's not a lot you can do." Actually there's a foolproof method of "don't bring the vulnerable, helpless infant into the extremely high stress, uncomfortable and often downright painful environment of the plane", it works for me every time.
@@Aetherian1 As it was mention in this video, some mode of transportation could be dreadfull on the body. And if something goes wrong there is not a lot you can do for a baby. Just like pregnang women, babies shouldn't be allowed on a plane. And no. Babies don't have to flight. But it's easier for some parents than to be on the road for dayyyys.
First time I flew on a high school trip with my classmates I had to spend two hours with a guy I never got along with snoring on my shoulder. I was dying inside but didn't have the heart to wake him up. Thank God he eventually rolled over to the other side knocking himself awake in the process, so I managed to avoid any kind of awkward conversation
The full story of the teen who has autism is that the flight attendant initially said no to the first class meal purchase, but after they tried other things that didn’t work and the mother explained the situation, the flight attendant brought her a hot meal. The teen ate it and was fine and happy. About 25 minutes later there was an announcement made that the plane was making an emergency landing bc of a passenger with “behavior issues”.
They landed and paramedics came on board and after seeing the teen happily sitting and watching a video, they told the crew that they had real issues to attend to and left. The police then boarded and saw the same thing as the paramedics, didn’t see any issue, and started to leave. They were stopped by the captain/pilot who spoke to them and the police went back to the family and informed them that the captain had asked the police to have the family leave the plane bc he wasn’t comfortable continuing to fly with the teen on board. The police even apologized for having to make them get off the plane.
Other passengers did speak up and said that the teen was actually calm and had done nothing wrong, they said she was less disruptive than crying babies who are allowed on flights and don’t cause a flight to be diverted.
That’s so strange
wtf, that airline should get sued
@@Antony_Oscar Agreed
Racism in a nutshell: autism edition
and ppl might say
'babies can't control their crying!'
Well neither can someone with autism.
Not quite sure what's the problem with the Captain, but Captain has the right to remove a passenger if they decides the passenger is disruptive.
I hope the airline booked the family on another flight.
if the crew wanted to make the best decision for the safety & comfort of ALL passengers, they would have just sold the hot meal to the kid. it's not like she was asking for it for free.
Corn bots are sealing you comment, so I guess congrats?
And maybe the parents could have just purchased 1st class seats!?
@@deirenne they could maybe not have the money for that. First class is expesive
Usually airlines provide areas in the booking site to describe amy special requests especially health related issues, which the purser will inform the flight attendants before boarding. Either the parents could've mentioned the autism and the reaction, or yknow its United. They ain't known for their passenger comfort.
@@hassanabdulaziz4517wasn’t United the one that also got in trouble for overbooking and then yanking a man off the plane; injuring him?
In Ireland, you can apply for a lanyard that indicates that you have additional needs. In Ireland, the staff are very alert to these lanyards and, in my experience, have made my childs flight experience so easy and undetected it was actually enjoyable. Perhaps the US should look into doing something similar.
Weren't you guys the first people in the world to say an intact biological male could choose to go into a women's prison simply because he said so? Yeaaaaaaaah........... Maybe you guys deal with autism that way because you're all Austistic
They have that in the UK too. And I saw some posters in the US this summer talking about implementing the sunflower lanyards there too. Hopefully it's spreading!!
Simple and yet effective.

@@jamesjiao That's why it won't happen. Too obvious, too effective, too cheap. Needs to cost extra for some patented pill or personal security guard or something. Yeah, that would do it. Let's do that.
As a random on the Internet who also struggles with autism, hailing from the McNugget-shaped country (Ireland), we wear a sunflower lanyard in the airport and on the plane. All staff are trained to recognise that lanyard and know, "Hey, this man (or woman) has autism", and they'll be helpful to you no matter where you are. The story of the autistic teen disgusted me. It just made me re-evaluate how lucky I am to live in a country where autism is a big deal for my generation and can be easily managed and helped along the road.
You feel lucky to live in Ireland, do you? Weren't you guys the first people in the world to say an intact biological male could choose to go into a women's prison simply because he said so? Yeaaaaaaaah........... Maybe you guys deal with autism that way because you're all Austistic.
Omg, As an autistic teen, That would be amazing, i get very overstimulated in airports and big areas, and can even become very annoying on flights, i wish there was a way in the USA to let everyone know i do have autism and im not just a spoiled brat
Well, the story went differently actually, the flight attendant said no initially but tried to get other thing but when that didn't work they brought her the food. But then they made an announcement to make an emergency stop because of a passenger with behavioral issues, paramedics and cops both showed up, the teen was fine and happy because the food was good and they left because they saw nothing wrong, but then the absolute slob of a pilot told the cops he wasn't comfortable with her on the plane so they had to take her off, they even said sorry for having to do it.
@@pyromain If this was a male you wouldn't care and you'd side with the pilot.
I have Asperger's and ARFID. I've been a "picky" eater since before I could talk. That family should've been prepared for the possibility that the plane will not have food that the daughter will eat. They should've brought food on the plane that they know she would eat. Or if that's not allowed, have her eat something shortly before going to the airport. The world is unfair and doesn't need to cater to every person with every kind of disability. People with Autism (as well as other disabilities) need to adapt to the world they're in, not the other way around.
Dr. Mike -- I had my own in-flight emergency experience once, and I thought for sure I would be the least helpful person, since I have been a psych nurse for 15 years. BUT ... turned out to be a young woman with a full blown anxiety/panic attack. I spent the rest of the flight in the back with her, helping her remain calm and monitoring her condition after some medications, while the flight attendants gave my daughter extra snacks and a free movie.
That last part was an unnecessary Cute addition That I am very glad you added. Anyways Your a Legend
That’s really cool! How did you help her remain calm? Like breathing exercises maybe?

My dad flies and he’s almost 6.5 feet tall and flies all the time. He tries to book economy plus or an exit row for comfort, but sometimes, it’s impossible due to how crowded the flight is. He had someone try to recline their seat over and over again into his knees and so he politely tapped them on the shoulder and explained the reason her seat was not reclining properly was because his knees were there. The woman asked my dad if he could put his knees somewhere else…
From what I understood when the video initially came out, was that she kept jamming her seat into him which was the issue and he became agitated because she refused to work with him.
I would have put my legs up on top of the chair so that my feet hang over her head - shoes and socks off - I mean she asked for it.
Yeah I guess Mike only flies first class, because as a fairly tall guy he should know how bad reclining seats are
"Can You put your Knees Somewhere else?"
"Can you put your stupidity somewhere else?"
Right. I wish someone would mention how unthoughtful and selfish the lady in front was being. I can bet she has no spinal problem. Clearly, the guy behind her could not recline his seat to accommodate her reclining onto his lap. People are quick to comment on the 'reaction' but very seldom on the action. It is sad, but true.

In fact, any 12 year old with a serious allergy knows how to give themselves an EpiPen, and inform people that they are experiencing a time-critical medical emergency.
All he did was give someone an injection.
@@sophiophile they didn't have Epipen on the plane. He used Epinephrine and injected medicine into his leg muscle, then monitored the guy's condition. I don't think all 12yo kids know how to deal with it without EpiPen.
@@sophiophile My Dude if we're complaining about retelling stories at least listen to it once. Doctor Mike's experience there caused the FAA to make epipens on flights mandatory from the airlines' side. It is most definitely a cool story. He did not just give someone a bloody epipen and then tell the world about it, he actually helped enact legislative change.
I agree with the hygiene theory 100% When my youngest cousin was little, he would lick EVERYTHING! Walls, floors, tables, toys, etc. He even licked a swing at a public park once. He's 13 years old now and he almost never gets sick. His parents and sister will all get sick at the same time, but he won't. But I am not suggesting that parents should let their kids lick anything in sight.
Heneral daily bacteria is fine, but there are some nasty diseases out there that you can't just "strong immune system" your way out of.
People use too much bleach but... The reason why the average life expectancy went up is because of hygeine practices.
Clean vs disinfected
Almost like there was this thing called natural immunity that protected every human being ever born on this planet for all of time, and we didn't need to give people auto-immune diseases by injecting gene therapies to try and give them fake immunity, eh? Wild!
1:00 We did our "what is a service animal?" ADA compliance seminar at work recently (I'm in NY), and according to DOJ ruling, miniature horses are the only animal besides dogs that can count as service animals under ADA, if they've been likewise trained to perform a task for a person with a disability.
Also, I beg you, PLEASE do not get a fake "service animal" vest just because you can't bear to be parted from Fifi as you do your errands. Every time a business puts up with your poorly behaved fake, you're making life harder for people who ACTUALLY need a service dog's help.
NY, you say? Everything going on in NY and your DOJ is making rulings on miniature horses and service animals, eh? You'd think the DOJ would be more concerned about the monkeys on your streets, but I guess when you play Leftist games, you win Marxist prizes.
Correct! I was wondering about that! The horse had little packs strapped to its side and everything. They aren't (probably) emotional support animals.
Um she couldn't have a dog though due to allergies if I'm not mistaken
THANK YOU! As a Service Animal Handler, I appreciate people knowing and saying something! It makes my life so much easier! I can't stand seeing all these fakes because people just want to bring their dogs everywhere. Mine has been attacked so many times that I have almost had to retire her. Thankfully, she mostly takes it in stride. But people need to stop doing it
Except that services animals and emotional support animals are vastly different things and the ADA and the ACAA, and the U.S. DOT cover this. They (The ACAA) USED to cover emotional support animals but able bodied people fucked that up. It was amended in 2021. People do often bring their pets and try to pass them off in places, injuring service dog teams. It's a shame.
I’ll have it be known, as a woman with ponytails, a ponytail going over the seat like that is a movement that has to be assisted… It doesn’t just “happen.” 😂

Was on a flight with a mom and her son who seemed to have autism or some other behavioural issues that were beyond her ability to control. I remember looking at her, trying to communicate empathy and support, but she was in the throws of her sons distress and just assumed my attempt at connection was in an effort to communicate annoyance and she instinctively said sorry. Feel so bad that people who need more empathy and accommodation have the experience to expect to have to apologise for their needs, rather than expect humanity.

So nice to hear you saying about the aerosolised faecal particles when you flush the toilet. I hate it when people visit my house and flush the toilet with the seat up. Nobody who lives here would ever do this after watching a video with the UV lights showing the particles, but other people tell me that I’m weird for it.
I now keep my toothbrush in the medicine cabinet instead of on the sink counter, but what prompted me to make that change was other people flushing with the seat lid up. I threw out my toothbrush and got a new one more than once and people thought I was nuts. xD
Personally, I do not put the lid down to flush; I presume the particles would eject at higher pressure with reduced open area. But then, too, I live alone (but for my two cats). I can say if I were at someone's has and saw they keep the lid down, I would follow my host's lead.
@@dennisanderson3895 That makes absolutely no sense. How would the particles get out at all if you have the lid down? That's literally what the lid is for, to keep particles from spraying everywhere.
@@soccerchamp0511 It is not an air-tight, vacuum seal, now is it? Saw a vid of a young fellow in a no-electricity village rig air conditioning with pop bottles; 3 or 4 dozen - they were set so the wind through the larger end, accelerated with greater output through the neck. Particles will be shot out through that small gap the cushioning "feet" on the seat cause and the not-air-tight gap tween seat and lid. (But lid is also good for NOT dropping something and have it go in the water!)
@@dennisanderson3895 You are comparing two things that are totally different. Most toilets don't generate that much force when they flush. There may be a few particles that get out between that gap, but there won't be nearly as many as there would be leaving the lid up. Then you are literally having bacteria sprayed all over whatever is around the toilet.
I had a young guy asleep on my shoulder for 4 hours flying from lax to nz! He ended up being a new doctor starting in NZ and seemed exhausted. My bro is a doctor and I have great respect for all drs. Luckily I ended up going to sleep too, when he woke up he apologised!
aw thats so cute
Mahi pai!
I feel bad for the person being filmed asleep on the other passenger's shoulder. They can't help their body shifted in their sleep and didn't ask to be a part of someone's tiktok. Is there no such thing as respecting privacy or asking before you film someone anymore? I understand public spaces and unintentional faces but this was clear intent without consent. Just tap the sleeper and ask them to shift back or let them be, your choice, but don't pull out your phone to film them.

i feel like the reclining seat issue is moreso a problem with how cramped airplane seating has become. I swear the space between seats has gotten smaller and smaller and it's hard enough fitting with the seats all up (i'm 5'3 and small-medium build). It really sucks because as some people have stated, they need to recline to stretch their legs out or their legs ache horrifically (esp on long hauls), but then the seat behind has to do the same thing or be squashed lol
And on an on until the last seat that is already the one with the least space and UNABLE to recline.
Reclining is rude - and the airlines should make it so that no seat reclines.
Yes, I hate reclining seats
1000%. Everyone is constantly debating about reclining or not reclining, when the discussion should actually be about how stingy airplane companies have become. They make billions of dollars, and yet still refuse to give their customers any decent amount of room. It's like they're hell bent on making flying as miserable of an experience that is humanely possible.
The space definitely gets smaller and smaller because airlines try to maximize their profits by squeezing as many seats into the plane as possible, especially on short-distance flights (1-3h). I flew a lot in Europe in the early 2010's due to a business project in another country and a long-distance relationship and I never had any problems with the spacing (I'm 1.94m / 6'4). Nowadays my knees bump against the seat in front of me even when I'm sitting fully upright and it's extremely uncomfortable (I still don't recline my seat though).
@@thelemurofmadagascar9183 exactly. why focus on the real problem if they can complain?
I was on a 10 hour flight. My seat was broken and could not recline. I just had to accept that I would be the only one sitting up whilst everyone else slept (there were no empty seats I could move to). I did not get upset with the people around me for reclining their seats, I just asked the guy next to me if he was ok with me having a little light on so I could read and dealt with it
I never recline nor does anyone ever in my plane

Thank you for reminding people that you don't have to clean every single surface in every place you go because of the normal presence of bacteria, which is a statement that would shock my friends and family. See, I have very severe OCD, and Covid was the first glimmer of understanding I've seen from other people because they could finally see how miserable it was to be preoccupied with it all the time. It made a *lot* more people a *little* more like me. But you don't WANT to be like me. I've had worsening OCD my whole life. My immune system has always been weaker than others' - I get sick incredibly easily, and it's brutal every time. There are places I can't go and things I can't do because they involve touching things I refuse to touch - or no access to excessive hand washing. My anxiety is truly out of control, and once OCD gets as bad as mine is, your hope in treatment relies more on lessening the severity rather than getting rid of it entirely - I've been told by my doctors that even a 30% decrease in symptoms would be a huge victory for me. This is not a way to live. So no, you don't have to wipe down every high touch surface in your life or wash your hands every time you think about bacteria or germs. Your body and mind will be more equipped to handle the normal world, and you'll be much happier for it.
I have OCD also. Those who don't have it don't understand that it's not a choice we make just to be a jerk and inconvenience everyone around us. We don't CHOOSE to be this way. It's so difficult and embarrassing to try to even explain the thoughts in your head, why you do what you do. Lots of internalized shame.
But it doesn't have to be that way forever. Thankfully I have improved greatly with treatment. I hope you can find good therapy and treatment as well, advocate for yourself, a better life is possible❤🙏🏻
@@danise1856 So true. It's impossible to explain in a way that people can understand if they haven't been through it. "Just stop" isn't an option - if it were, we'd do that. I'm glad to hear that things have started to get better for you! 😊
Please do not take this as flippant in any way, but I had debilitating OCD for years and have been "in recovery" for 4 now. I just want to say you're not alone. I know you have likely tried many many many therapies, so I don't want to give annoying advice, but doing vagus nerve work (polyvagal theory, vasovagal exercises, there are a few names) to try to balance my whacked out nervous system is what really (i think) turned the corner for me. I want to send you so much love and support.
@@lauramoore8823 Thank you for your support. I love and support you as well. ❤️ I do love poly vagal theory, but I haven't used it in conjunction with my OCD treatment, so I'll have to try a method that uses it more.
So you have a mental illness that causes you to imagine life-threatening germs on every surface, and when the rest of the world dipped into mass formation psychosis and their own mental illness, you were at least able to recognize their behavior was a mental illness like your own? Good on you.
If you *ever* wear a mask I suggest you educate yourself on mask wearing, go back to Spanish Flu and bacterial pneumonia and work your way forward to the first studies in 1979 about how harmful it was to your health and immune system to wear a mask, keep working your way through the 70 or so peer reviewed publications validating these findings and showing how increased CO2 in your blood stream from wearing a mask puts your brain in a state of fear and panic (more susceptible to control) and then finish up with the Occupational Health & Safety of any 1st world country and their *exhaustive* data on mask wearing and the health of workers. Then never wear one again and tell everybody around you how harmful they are and that if *YOU* know better with your germaphobia and OCD, *THEY* should *CERTAINLY* not be acting crazy, wearing masks or telling others to wear them.
Airline employees aren't government employees. Sorry, Mike. lol My poor Mom didn't realize she had a sinus infection when we were flying one time. Halfway through the flight, she was in agony! The flight attendant was bad ass and brought her a warm towel and a cup. My Mom looked silly, but holding the steamy cup over her ear helped A LOT!
How the flight attendant handled the situation radiates pure mom energy.
Yeah, unless it's a governmental airplane or airline... Otherwise they're just normal workers employed by the airlines, or airport.
It’s an interesting subject matter, though because most airports are owned by the government, but individual airlines are not…🫠

About the reclining option on seats, while I do agree you have the option, people do tend to abuse it. In a bus I was in, the guy in front of me reclined all the way down (which was WAY too much btw, what the actual heck was that), to the point I actually had trouble breathing and could not feel my legs. I also could see his face and top of his head to give you an idea. And while I am chubby, I am not overweight enough for that to be the root of the issue.
Of course he refused to give me any more space. I had to ask for help because I was on the verge of passing out while the guy snored.
Lose some weight or deal with your fate !

11:35 thank you! Every time someone fearmongers about how many bacteria are there on the surfaces in public places, I get frustrated, because there are _a lot_ of bacteria, even dangerous ones, on people's skin, their outter clothing, their cell phones, and in the air they breath. Human bodies evolved to deal with that, thought, and unless one has a related medical condition, one needn't to worry about it. For most people excessive cleaning doesn't really do anything except wasting energy and feeding anxiety.
Excessive cleaning can trigger allergies, maybe auto-immune diseases too. We have lived our lives with certain bacteria load, so constantly removing it.. well, it seems to throw our bodies somehow out of sync. All cleanliness freaks I know have some chronic illnesses, just my personal observation. Maybe its the same as with taking antibiotics without really good reason, it wipes all the good germs with the bad.
Yeah. Annoys me. Even know I'm a bit of a germaphobe.
There are lots of things you should clean but a seat pocket is not one of them.

Hey, also, PSA for literally everything: working in food service for 6 months, I can confidently tell you that I was one of maybe 2 people that cleaned the spigots for the soda machine regularly. Restaurants don’t always stay up to code. Be aware you might be drinking soda from a funky fountain

Walmart doesn't clean the grocery pickup bins, it's a secret I cannot withhold lol
Mcdonalds MIGHT clean the orang juice machine once a month.
In the 19 months I worked at one, we called the smoothie cleaning guy three times. He was horrified the first time. And used that very slow day to teach me how to clean it, properly. Probably because I was genuinely curious and was totally willing to help. Whoever replaced me did such a poor job the machine got hopelessly jammed and finally died
Can confirm, I worked in a chain cafe for over a year and I was the only person cleaning the soda fountain out of 5 employees. 😔

Plane cabins are pressurized to be similar to 4k-8k above sea level, which is way higher than I live at...

A colleague is a Consultant Psychologist in an acute setting in the UK. On a transatlantic flight they asked for a doctor, she notified the crew she is a doctor, albeit trained a long while since involved general medicine, she was the only medical doctor who would lay hands on the patient. Two US docs refused to do anything but offer advice because of insurance issues... afraid of being sued. The psychiatrist kept the passenger going until an ambulance crew took over on landing. She didn't get sued.
for context on the baby one - under international law, the baby is officially born in the country that owns the plane or the country that the plane is licensed under.

I have a seat reclining story that my mum told me. I was like 3 or 4 and we had a really long flight and I wasn’t able to sleep at all. When we went on to the connecting flight I managed to fall asleep, so my mom reclined the seat just a tiny bit to make me more comfortable. Then out of nowhere the guy behind started kicking the seat really hard. My mom asked him politely to stop and explained the situation. He just kicked my seat even harder. My mum told the flight attendant and she told him off and even told my mom he still had lot of leg space. He still kicked my seat. My mum eventually told him would he rather a have a grumpy child having a tantrum because she has no sleep within the last 24 hours or would he just accept the fact that he lost a little bit of leg room.
Edit May 22: Just asked my mom about the story again today, and the connecting flight was rather short since it was from London to Edinburgh. I also forgot to add the fact he did stop after she gave him the would you rather.

I’m autistic and that made me upset that they wouldn’t accommodate a disabled child with food and even kicked them out. I don’t know the full story but from what I do know and have experienced, that is just messed up.
Edit: some people are fighting in the comments and I just want to clear some things up since i researched the news story. I definitely agree that If the airline didn’t have enough food that makes sense not to serve them, however, that is not what happened as they got served the food. Even if they didn’t have enough that does not excuse them for kicking the family on a baseless ableist rhetoric. They caused no problems to the airline and the airline kept calling the police and EMT. They both said there was nothing wrong but the airline chose to go out of their way to kick out the family. THE AIRLINE WAS BEING ABLEIST.
People act like autistic people can just change. I'm autistic and my friends constantly treat me like I can just change.

I seriously do not know why these people, who are supposed to make the experience better for everyone mind you, decided to just kick them out and not reciprocate or anything. I feel so bad on behalf of the kid and her family :[
I wonder though, did her parents contact the airline in advance and explain the situation? Or did they just suddenly, in the middle of a busy flight, make an unusual request that the flight attendants had no established procedure for accomodating? I'm pretty sure the attendants are trained to not deviate from standard procedures while the plane is in the air, and if this was a sudden, unexpected request I think we should cut them some slack. Of course having them removed from the flight seems extreme, but we don't know how disruptive the young lady had become, and also we don't know how her parents were behaving...
@@suchanhachan Exactly! This should have been discussed with the airline long before they ever boarded the flight!

Call me crazy, but shouldn't we have an EMT on every flight, or have flight attendants be trained in basic medical stuff, and not be hoping that doctors are always flying? 😢
Flight attendants are all trained in Basic Life Support (BLS).
When they ask for a doctor is probably a worst situation
I don't know how things are in the US but in Europe EMTs can't administer any medication (or very few).
You'll always need a trained doctor to do these kinds of things. It would also be a big liability problem. I guess they do what they can but asking for a medical professional is always a good idea. It doesn't even have to be a doctor. An experienced nurse that's been working in the hospital is likley to do just as good a job as a doctor in emergency situations.
@@andreapatacchiola1184 they called for a doctor when my brother passed out even though he was probably going to be fine
That would make the airlines have to pay their employees a LOT more. If flight attendants became trained in proper paramedic fashion, airlines would probably jack up their prices by another 10% at LEAST.

The reclining seat one is a real problem. It happened to me on the bus. It is very annoying when you are in the last seat, and the person in front of you reclines his/her seat. You have very little space left. If you are claustrophobic or have other anxieties, the situation becomes really uncomfortable, especially since you are stuck in that chair for several hours. And let us not forget that the seats in airplanes are really small and crowded.
On several occasions i had to ask the person in front of me if s/he couldn't raise it a little.
on the other hand, punching someone's chair is not a behaviour fit for an adult.
As I see it, the problem can be addressed to some extent by reclining your seat as well (whether you want to or not). But in this case, in the video, the guy punching the seat (agreed, it is not the right approach) could not recline his seat as there seems to be a kind of divider wall/partition behind his seat, preventing him from reclining his seat. Airlines should be more thoughtful while designing the layout of the seats. In this case, the selfish lady reclining her seat was just being a b****. I am sure she has not medical issue and even if she had, seeing the situation, she should have changed her seat with someone else.
@@Anione111 the lady paid for her seat, and it is allowed to recline that much. If there is a medical condition and reclining seat is necessary, it is even more justify regardless whether you believe it to be true or not. Since it is on the news, I can only assume her statement is verified. The way I see it, if it is a short trip, I can usually last without reclining my seat at all. However, for a very long flight 10-20 hr, at that point, everyone has to recline at some point.
If the guy bought an unfortunate seat that can't be decline, then im pretty sure those seat is cheaper, or it's the airline not taking into account the design of the seat, the blame should not be on the one with medical condition who paid for her seat.
@@favlam1408 Exercising your right doesn't have to come at the expense of empathy, consideration, and thoughtfulness. If it does, it is called selfishness, and not in a good way.
@@Anione111 I did said "if it is a short trip, I can usually last without reclining my seat at all", however, if it is a medical condition, I'm not gonna prioritize someone's comfort for my health. Especially if it's a long trip, then everybody will have to recline at some point.
Your so called "selfishness" can work for both sides btw.
@@favlam1408 Even if we believe she has a medical condition, and she has to recline onto a guy, who can't recline his own seat, hence his space and comfort is severely compromised by her action, it is still not okay. Like I said selfishness has become normalized. I, me, mine. Your response proves my point.
On realizing the predicament of the guy behind her, she could have apologized, initiated a dialogue, and together they could have worked out a solution. One of which could be her requesting a change of seat with another passenger without a "medical condition," since it would've been more difficult for the guy at the back to do so.

Almost. There is one exception to this rule and that is if they were born in the US, but their parents are diplomats. That is the case for my sister, she was born in the US but is not American. This has caused a lot of confusion, especially in America. She applied to work at Disney Epcot, and they literally asked her why she, despite being born in the US, didn’t consider herself American. Took a couple of weeks before they actually understood xD
Ok this is of subject but I work with animals a lot and I can just see how happy bear is in all of your videos. I can tell how loved he is ❤🐶
The hack with neck pillows is that you have to hook em or turn em. It supports the neck better and when you’re looking down such as at your phone your neck isn’t bending down all the way.
I used to work on cruise ships and they would hand out meclizine to the crew like it was candy. It took me a while to figure this out but you can actually train away the motion sickness response. What I would do is start taking meclizine the moment the ship is underway whether I needed it or not. Was I miserably tired all the time? Yes. However, after about a week of not getting sea sick, you can stop taking it and you'll probably be fine without it since you effectively severed the association of motion with feeling sick. Once I did that, I would only need to take it again if we hit really rough seas.
Thanks for sharing
Oooh thanks for this advice!
Weirdly, my twin had severe motion sickness when we were kids but grew out of it, while I had the opposite. I never had motion sickness when we were little, but sometime during puberty, I started getting motion sickness. It has slowly progressed over the years to where now I can't even watch certain films, if the camera jumps around too much.
Done this before while fishing at sea, works very well!
The hygiene theory/hypothesis is so interesting! In many places where parasites are more common, autoimmune diseases are less common! Some people even go under helminth therapy, usually its hookworms that they willingly get to help alleviate symptoms.
The guy pushing/punching the seat was a bit rude. But to his defense, he was sitting in the last row against a wall. Those seats are already cramped. They don't recline. They are closer to the seat in front of him than the other rows. The last row against the wall should be removed for more useful space other than to squeeze a few more bucks out of a flight. I had the unfortunate experience of being seated in one on a cross country flight. Very miserable indeed.
For that I blame the airline, not the passenger who reclines their seat. If I'm in the last row, I know what I'm in for, but seriously, these airlines act all shocked that people hate being crammed into small seats in tight spaces with no leg room, no elbow room, and then some people lose their tempers.
@@cbpd89 Unfortunately, as long as people keep buying tickets, they’re not going to change anything.
was gonna say that
@@cbpd89 I also hold the airline responsable.
My drink spilled all over the place and on my mini laptop because...
Someone reclined while the tray was deployed. Tell me why no one talks about how this is the primary issue lol
My hack with the neck pillow is to place it onto the tray and lie face-down onto it. It's surprisingly comfortable, but be mindful that it can give you a bad back if you have a bad seating position.
I feel for the woman with the miniature horse. Miniature horses WERE considered under ADA law as acceptable service animals until 2011, and are still considered in certain cases. If she is allergic to dogs, and has her horse task trained, she still needs that service animal while traveling and should be allowed to have it. Because they removed Mini Horses from the ADA definition, she’s screwed out of the ability to access air travel. That’s super unfair.
Having a baby in international waters should result in having a nationality from the country you left from and it should only apply to a different country when you are physically on the ground and deliver in that country.
Cool, so she just could have gone into labour on the way back instead
Except a lot of countries don’t give nationality based on place of birth but on the nationality of the parents
Unless you've passed TSA Preclearance in somewhere like Abu Dhabi or Dublin and a few others. Then because you've cleared US customs, you're in the US.
Technically, that's what the original intent of the birthright citizenship clause people keep referring to. The child is supposed to be a citizen of whatever country the parents are citizens of, regardless if they landed in the US or not. This also extends to US citizens who have children abroad. Your child is still a US citizen as long as one of the parents is a US citizen, even if the child is born outside of the US.
ships and planes are registered in a country and soil of that country, if you're born on a cruise ship that's registered in Panama... your place of birth is Panama... even if the cruise was in the mediterean
11:26 Before pandemic I used to fly 3-4 times a year and sometimes get sick after getting off the plane. I then started to do a simple wipe down with disinfection wipes after boarding, and just the table and my hands before meal services. The truth is, they don't clean the tray table and arm rest very often. Think about it, they have 45 minutes to turn a plane around, so they don't really have the time to clean all the crevices on tray tables, seats, and under the seats.
Air on planes are clean they pass though filters and more than half of the air are actually fresh from the outside (through the engine intake). What was not cleaned are the air nozzles.
I remember one time on a plane someone in front of me had a great headache, plus according to the passengers next to her, recently had surgery. Before the flight attendants noticed, a 50 year old looking woman with a small medical purse walked up to her and gave her some pain killers, checked her pulse, and breathing. I also had a little headache, and she gave me a panadol
I was glad that she helped, if it weren't for her, me and that other passenger would have had a hard time
Hear me out! Dr. Mike should make a stuffed animal of Bear with a stethoscope hanging around his neck. I'd swoop on that merch!
Yes! I would too! Bear is just so cute
YES I LOVE BEAR!!
3:00 - We came back from a conference once and there was a medical emergency. We had 5 doctors with us...all forensic medicine :-) But since there was no other medical personnel on board, they went for it. And never told the patient their specialization^^ He had a heart attack but was stabilized and most likely survived, because we checked for his name the next week and he never came to our department.
But all physicians have basic clinical training for several years and when they go to their exams, they are tested in those. At least they have some decent understanding of what to do, even if they are "just" radiologists or ENTs^^
Yeah I was surprised that he did not mention that
It is not like these people did not go to med school
They are literally doctors
Doc mike is the type of person i can be friends with funny, informative, and genius.
5:38 So are they also kicking off crying babies and that old bloke that snores like a train?
As a person who works in the public library system, I believe it. We try to clean the keyboards as often as possible (like a deep, take all the keys off and get all the stuff underneath kind of and clean) but people can be gross, especially when the they know the item isn't theirs.
7:12 you said “as long as everyone has the ability to recline their seats.” I don’t believe it’s reason to punch someone’s seat in front of you, it does look like the dude is in the very back row and those seats on most planes do not recline. Just a note.
Mini horses started as service animals for wheelchair pulling and other mobility tasks. Mini horses and dogs are both recognized on a federal level as being service animals. I'm not sure how it could perform a true task for psychiatric though (feeling better by it being there or being calmed by petting it aren't considered tasks by ADA)
I assume they’d be able to do (some, if not all) things that dogs do, like providing medication reminders (be it bringing the bottle or even waking the person up in the morning). They could provide calming pressure, guide the person out of overwhelming situations, get help for the person, circle or sit near the person to give them personal space, etc?
Horses, just like dogs can sense when a person's blood sugar drops. They can also be trained to give a handler ques to take their medications and they are also very sensitive to human emotions, vocal tone and facial expressions. They can even be trained to guide visually impaired people.
it actually made sense for her to have a SA that was a mini horse instead of a dog if they are really allergic
emotional support animals are not considered service animals.
@@horse14t You're not incorrect about horse sensitivity. My concern (as someone who worked in the horse industry and who has owned/ridden/trained horses for decades) is that, unlike dogs, horses are prey animals that can react extremely quickly (and sometimes violently) to stimuli that might not bother a dog. A mini horse is naturally not as dangerous as a larger equine, and minis do tend to be much calmer than their larger cousins, but still I don't see them as being comparable to dogs as service animals. Yes, the woman in this video was allergic to dogs, and her horse was actually an emotional support animal, not a service animal, so there's really nothing to compare. I personally am glad airlines have cracked down on the over-use of the "emotional support" excuse because so many of the animals weren't trained and weren't appropriate on the flights. While the horse in the video appeared to be trained and well-behaved, too many other animals are not.
I once had to go on a 14-day cruise with my parents. The previous year I did not have any nausea but that year, my seasickness was so severe I had to take travel sickness medication as well as wear the travel sickness wristband at all hours of the day (only excluding being in the shower), including while I was sleeping. Thankfully the seasickness started to subside after the first week but it might’ve been more to do with the fact that I got a bad cold from my mum that second week so I was distracted from the nausea.
My mother recently had a fusion almost all the way up to the bone that let's you turn your head because there was soft tissue pushing down on her spine and the doctors had no idea where it was coming from but the doctor said and I quote "it was causing very severe issues with her movement." and she's still in rehab and the doctor also said that she will barely be able to move her neck from now on.
thank you so much for always having english and spanish CC, it helps so much with my ADHD and i get to enjoy watching your videos with my friends 💖💖💖💖💖
The story with the teen who had autism made me so mad I actually had to pause the vudeo to calm myself down. It hit close to home because I have a 13 year old brother who's autistic and hes treated so poorly by kids his age and people never want to be his friend because of his habits and how he's non verbal due to his autism. It just infuriates me that the airline kicked the teen's family off just because she's autistic.
@@DoctorKaminonice bait
no bait@@ashleycd6487 just some truth
yeah, you demonstrating and then bragging about not being able to control your emotions and how easily triggered you are, says all I needed to know about your family to realize you are not the victims in your story.
It's always everybody else, right? The very *idea* of taking personal responsibility probably puts you into a panic attack.
That's not why they removed her.
HOW DARE YOU. As someone who is autistic, autism is VERY real.
It's not asking for attention
It's not being a spoiled brat
IT IS NOT FAKING IT
It's sobbing over my schoolwork because my brain can't function anymore
It's being terrified to speak when I meet someone new and say the wrong thing
IT IS REAL. @@DoctorKamino
Doctor mike is the only internet doctor I would trust with my life....Or anything, for that matter.
Did you wear a mask? Did you take a certain gene therapy injection? Did you take it more than once?
2:36 there's also a previous kickstarter neck pillow by TripPal that provides similar support as a neck brace but is still comfortable and adjustable
11:00 the water still gets boiled so any bacteria in the water still gets killed so its still safe to drink
Any normal person- goes to the library to read or do research
Me- hides in the library, waits till it closes, crawls onto the tables, then poops on the computer keyboards and wipes with the mouse.😈😈😈😈💩
I would just like to say thank you so much to Doctor Mike because I almost died chocking and if I hadn’t seen your videos I wouldn’t know what to do. Thank you so much your helping people every day and I love that!!!❤
Don't suck it so deep then next time.
"Is there a doctor on the plane."
Asian parents to their kids:"If you studied hard you could had been that doctor. STUPID "
😂😂😂
LMAO!!! 😂🤣😂🤣🤣
For our church choir trip our "nurse" was a radiologist and it was funny sometimes because while he was first aid trained and stuff he would talk using words to make seem like he knew more then he actually did. Great guy, and he did help.
12:09 I didn't need to know that. I don't want to know that. Get it out of my mind.
I think being on an airplane is a health scare within itself 😂
I actually had someone who used Liquid I.V. and said it actually worked for him the way it says it does.
He works in an intense labour job, outside all day pretty much and he told me that he used to drink four bottles of water (Idr the size of his bottle I just remember it was four of them) out on the job but after adding Liquid I.V. he noticed he only had to drink two of them. That honestly sold it for me considering the consistency xD
13:40 I'd just pull it :)
At 9:46 , if a baby is born on an aircraft I believe they adopt either the country that they departed from, the country they are flying to or the current country that they are flying over! So the parents will usually or likely pick the country they departed from if it is their home country
6:20 "Hey VSauce Michael here"
Or am I?
😂😂😂
Doctor Mike fr makes sponsor more entertaining than anyone else, am I wrong cuz I honestly think he makes sponsorships entertaining
as far as the motion sick one goes: scopolamine patches have opened up my world. i can barely make it on a 1 hour flight with dramamine, so the thought of ever leaving the country was not feasible. found out the patches were a thing, gave em a try, all of the sudden im excited to travel to other countries and 10+ hour flights are doable.
Omg I get sooooo motion sick on planes as well
5:30 Besides she said purchase not for free usually airlines will have the option for you to purchase a first class meal but it'll cost you a lot she asked to. Purchase it not get it for free
The girl with autism that got kicked off is absurd! It’s just like how a baby makes a bunch of noise, but the baby doesn’t get kicked off!
I definitely appreciate you mentioning that whole thing about covering the mouth with tape. I understand the desire to do so but it's a risk they shouldn't take.
I've used the travel bands after having a lot of anxiety that induced nausea, even in the middle of the night. I was also having extreme back pain due to having excessive weight on my chest (causing some degeneration of the disks in my lower back), before I went in for surgery to get rid of that extra weight, the travel bands worked really well. After surgery they put me on a medication that stopped me from feeling nauseous or throwing up and I misplaced the bands, but the pressure points that the bands use still work in a pinch... You just can't use your hands while applying the pressure to your wrists.
As a sailor who takes folks out fairly often, I got a set of the wrist bands on impulse. One friend who was getting queazy tried them after a bit and declared that they worked, to my surprise.
Hello, I'm a flight attendant. I've seen people walking barefoot on the remainings of the biohazard kit we use to clean up vomit, people changing babies on seats and tray tables, people throwing used tampons and half eaten sandwiches in a toilet compartment where we keep clean napkins and sickbags. I don't know who needs to hear this, but in a plane you're in a public space that you're sharing with several hundreds of strangers. Please keep it clean and tidy as you'd like to find it.
Pro tip: Airplane pillows are used incorrectly most of the time, flip them around so your chin rests on what used to be the back, and use the sides for neck support while you sleep
get the one with the snap button so you clasp it around your neck - best thing ever.
I highly recommend ginger gum. If you’re feeling extremely nauseated and even if you’ve already thrown up and you’re just needing something to help you feel less sick to a piece of ginger gum and within about 30 seconds, you start feeling less nauseated. Ginger in many forms works as a great antimetic.
Yes!!! I’ve used that and ginger hard candies for nausea and they both work extremely well.
My husband, a forensic pathologist came forward when a doctor was required on a plane. He tried to hide but there was no one else. Fortunately he had just completed ACLS and ATLS for army deployment. The person just needed juice because she had taken too much insulin. He was relieved that it was something simple. The airline gave him a nice bottle of champagne.
My son has autism. I'd sue the pants off the airline if they tried this on us. In the UK it would be illegal to do this because the law states that reasonable adjustments need to be made to accommodate the needs of disabled people.
I think you forgot the timestamp because this comment is completely without context for someone who hasn’t seen the whole video already.
Well make those accommodations before getting on the flight
What part is this abt?
It hurts me to see people with developmental, mental and other disorders to be judged based on their actions and not understand their disorder, since it's affected me personally. I have ADHD, so at school, I can barely sit still, and I'm not organized, even with my medicine. This year, my teacher decided to keep me inside from recess every time I wasn't organized or lost something, even though I clearly needed help with doing those things, expecting me to do it on my own. The worst part is he knows I have ADHD. It's also hard for me to make friends since I can never hold still, and once a kid said I probably am Autistic since I also have Tourette Syndrome, so I make sounds that I can't control. There's literally only two people in that school who haven't judged me to a myth my ex-friend made about my mental state, saying I told her I was Autistic and mentally ill, or from my mental state in class, despite it being a Lutheran school. The point is, never judge a person's true personality by how they appear, but judge their personality by how they treat you and others around you. That's how I ended up getting someone to have a crush on me this year in the 5th grade. Trust me, you'll be much happier this way. Thank you to anyone who has read this far.
I'm so sorry to hear you're being treated this way :( If you have a 504 plan, IEP, or case worker with the school, maybe talk to your parents about bringing this up next time you meet if you can! i hope your teacher starts being more understanding and compassionate. in the meantime, just keep doing your best, friend. it's the best you can do :)
I think I have adhd and I end up staying up really late looking at my homework that I was given time to do in class but my class is super distracting and doing nothing. Then feel like a failer because I wasted all that time. It’s more prominent in high school because I have more work. But in elementary school I liked to go to the library to read I would go with my friend(I was also being bullied), I would also get bored in class because I knew the material so I would read under my desk. My teacher then banned me from going to the library or bring books outside, then I just started talking to my neighbors because I was bored. High school doesn’t care as much and I’ve had teachers allow me to go out in the pod(outside the classroom) to work.
I'm 1.9 m., and in most flight seats if the person in front of me reclines their seat it hits my knees, and not just touches.
Last time I flew I had intentions of reading a book, but their seat went so far back, that I couldn't even have the book between me and the seat, plus I had the perfect view of the top of her head. I don't think people should just recline their seats, not until more room between is made or something like that.
No, it's not just possible here to buy first class or something like that, this is planes for holiday destinations and all seats are just economy, the only option is at the emergency exits, but there is not many of them and they are often booked already. The angle of some trays are also at a very odd angle, since they are connected to the back of the seat and not the bottom.
Disclaimer, I have not flown for a couple of years now, so might have gotten better, but I doubt it.
Wow. I've never had a seat that actually reclined more than an inch or two.
It has not gotten better - your story is the norm, except your story might actually be worse now.
@@cbpd89 an unnecessary inch or two. The feeling of control tricks you into thinking it's beneficial.
“Don’t worry, I’m a doctor… of psychology!”
“And how does that make you feel?”
I hate reclining seats. Having someone else’s head basically in your lap sucks. On my last flight, the girl in front of me had her seat back even when she wasn’t using it. I couldn’t see my screen well to watch my in flight movies, and I didn’t have access to my tray table to eat. Even when the flight attendants asked people to sit up so everyone could use their tray tables l, she refused.
That's my luck pretty much every day. Some people can be so obnoxious
flight attendants have really difficult jobs!! although it sounds fun and easy, its so much harder than it looks!
I worked at sea for years. Worked cabin, deck and bridge and the hardest area? Cabin by a long way! One of the first officers I worked with popping off at an arrogant passenger said something that stuck with me "Be nice to the deck crew because who do you think is looking after your car on the vehicle deck for the 3hr crossing? But be especially nice to the cabin crew because who do you think saves your butt if in the unlikely event something goes wrong?!" 😂
@@MoA-Reload... Yep. People don't realize the flight attendants' primary job is to help save your life in the event something goes wrong. If it were up to the airlines, you'd be sitting back there on your own, entertaining yourselves on your phones.
@@immikeurnot exactly. I was one of the trainers and part of my "ice breaker" speach to new starts(which was kind of stolen from that same 1st off) on first day of training to get their attention went along the lines of "if the company had their way they would fill the ship with passengers and vending machines! They only have cabin crew because that's the regs. Your job is NOT behind a bar or making tea n coffee. Your JOB is to save lives if/when things go wrong so THIS is the actual training you have to pay attention to". Company big wigs really hated us for being that blunt but it's not wrong and it was the only way to get new starts past the "I is here to do customer service stuffs" and pay attention to us. 😂
I know Abrea personally, Flirty is a fully trained SERVICE animal, she is not an emotional support pet. she is a service animal that has a very important job to do and she does it very well! she is an amazing mini horse.
One issue with the reclining seats, is that the airplanes usually put more seats in, then the plane is intended for,
so if you are slightly big/tall, there is no leg room at all, and someone in front of you reclining their seat just put extra pressure on your legs.
Had an international flight sitting next to a screaming baby. Wasn't bothered, took a turn holding the baby and bouncing her around for her flustered traveling alone father. Babies cry and there's not a lot you can do.
I live overseas and fly frequently.
On the other side of the crazy I flew from Costa Rica to Washington D.C. sitting right in front of a dude so drunk he could only make animal like noises. Started realizing there was a problem when the flight attendants started trying to access what was going on before the flight. He friend said had a cold and was just drowsy from the meds. He started his flying adventure by sliding forward, putting his feet through the armrests and trying to plop them in my lap. It got worse from there. They called for a doctor, and a cardiologist arrived, gave the drunk guy oxygen and then it really went nuts. He started yodeling and running around the plane. We were delayed getting off the plane because the air marshals had to come arrest him first.
Ive been in a plane full of drunk Nordics for 12 h flights, but I gotta say.. I havent seen my running yodeler yet. Naked, überdrunk and mischievous guys, yes, but no yodeling!
@@janemiettinen5176 This guy had been apparently sprung from Costa Rican rehab where they were licking cane toads or something odd, and spent the time from being sprung until the flight took off getting hammered. Young American guy from a wealthy family I think. There are some crazy rehabs here that use mind bending drugs to wean you off other drugs.
"Babies cry and there's not a lot you can do." Actually there's a foolproof method of "don't bring the vulnerable, helpless infant into the extremely high stress, uncomfortable and often downright painful environment of the plane", it works for me every time.
@@Aetherian1 Do you really think that all travel with infants or small children can be avoided? Not very realistic.
@@Aetherian1 As it was mention in this video, some mode of transportation could be dreadfull on the body.
And if something goes wrong there is not a lot you can do for a baby.
Just like pregnang women, babies shouldn't be allowed on a plane.
And no. Babies don't have to flight.
But it's easier for some parents than to be on the road for dayyyys.
First time I flew on a high school trip with my classmates I had to spend two hours with a guy I never got along with snoring on my shoulder. I was dying inside but didn't have the heart to wake him up. Thank God he eventually rolled over to the other side knocking himself awake in the process, so I managed to avoid any kind of awkward conversation
12:18 "That doesn't mean that you should stick your fingers in your mouth" as im watching this, biting my nails.....
