I signed up to Skillshare after watching a medical RU-vid video last year, and after my 2 months free trial I stayed on as a member as I really do think there are loads of great resources on there. Check it out at skl.sh/medlifecrisis, even if you decide it's not for you why not take advantage of the free trial. This video has really tanked tbh, so it's highly likely the 500 spots have not been taken yet - go for it you sweet summer child.
I think the only reason this vid has tanked is because when I saw the still shot, it looks like one of hundreds of other Game of Thrones spoilers/fan theories floating around this month. I always look for your face!
@@dragonmammma thanks, good thought. I'm never that sure about whether I should have my face in thumbnails but perhaps it at least makes them identifiable. Maybe I'll change if I get the chance
The title made me think this was going to be another GoT theory. I was actually happy to find out it was a lesson about the truth of hypothermia. I also started watching The Expanse because of your videos. Thanks for that!
lol that was great But also as I was growing up I've always been told that the normal body temperature was 36.6 and people would totally consider you sick with 37.0. Is that different from country to country somehow - if yes, why?
@@valeriavagapova isn't it because it's different from around the organs to your ear/ forehead? or maybe between the sexes. Hope someone gives a better answer to this, I'm curious too.
@@leaillex Interesting theory! Where I'm from it's normally measured at the underarm, but under-the-tongue method has become relatively common too lately.
@@ThisisBarris You're French I'm assuming? Huh that's pretty interesting how different it is! I'd say 38-39 is considered to be serious fever here, and anything above 39.0 is very serious and most definitely worthy of calling a doctor. As a teen I've had temperature around 37.0 for a year or two straight and doctors I saw at the time were concerned and said it wasn't normal. lol, so confusing
That really did make my day! I came on here (my PC) from watching on my phone, simply to comment on that statement of his... I really enjoy his humour.. (they put a U in it in the UK)
@@WillN2Go1 That's actually quite an easy one because 32 is exactly double 16, so it's just 10/32 + 7/32, in other words 17/32. But yeah it's still a lot shitter than metric. Especially once it gets into divisibles by numbers that aren't easy to multiply.
Your style of humour is absolutely perfect. I don't think I've cracked up so many times in an educational video before. I really hope this channel takes off big time, I love it so much.
we all know how awesome this video is. But the moment this became THE BEST VIDEO was with that Bashir DS9 footage!!! sure GoT is cool but startrek on this channel???!!! Im truly am in love
Indeed. In fact, NASA lost $125 million dollars and a Mars Climate Orbiter because they mixed up imperial and SI units. Essentially, the software controlling the orbiter’s thrusters calculated the force that the thrusters needed to exert in pounds of force. A second piece of code that read this data assumed it was in the metric unit “newtons per square meter." 'murica.

Haha amazing! Thanks 😊 I actually chopped a whole bunch of stuff out that didn't turn out as well including me talking to a row of black computers as Ser Alliser Thorne. And my Samwell impression just sounded too much like my normal voice!
The northern English accent seems to come quite easily, almost all English and Scottish people I know can do it, much more than those who can do Brummy, or Geordie, or even certain parts of London. Of course strictly speaking there are multiple types of "northern accent", and most would strictly speaking end up doing a hodgepodge of a few different locales, but certainly enough to pass muster.
@@kaitlyn__L I've always wondered how Brits can tell one another's accents so easily! In America, there are definitely differences, for instance you can tell the difference between a southern and northern accent, like say Georgian vs. Manhattan or California vs. Minnesota. But those areas are thousands of miles away from one another! British people being able to tell different accents would be like a Texan being able to tell where somebody is from based solely on their drawl. I don't know if America doesn't have that many accent differences by virtue of being so big or if it's weird that we're fairly homogenous in our accents.
@@shelbyb9965 it's mostly because the British Isles are very very dense. While North America is far more diffuse. Accents develop as a way of separating groups, people can tell which section of London someone is from even, sometimes to a very specific degree. And when you grow up immersed in all of them in media, it seems to help you adapt to unfamiliar accents easier later in life, plus of course you recognise all the ones you were exposed to growing up. Like, across the Isles, there's probably almost every way you could pronounce any group of letters, which is very much not the case in North America.
Never heard or saw an automatic CPR thing-a-ma-jig before. Thanks for this and I think all airlines should have it on board along with the AED. Have seen some lady doc once, do it with her fingertips before I took over and was complimented by other doctors !!!
@@ginnyjollykidd I think TV/film has caused some of these problems. Because they do CPR on live actors, you have to be quite gentle. In reality you have to compress the chest about 1/3 of its height, takes real force. If the patients is elderly, it's inevitable you feel ribs cracking as you do it.
I LOVE *all* the Easter eggs in this - not just great informative factual content - always presented in an entertaining way - but this goes above and beyond (the wall) well done sir.
Yeah, I was chatting to a friend today and wondering if this would be lost on a lot of people but wanted to do it anyway, if only for my own entertainment. Normal service will be resumed next time :)
@@MedlifeCrisis Sure, totally understand! I think just a very brief sumamry of the context would do too, something like "there was a character A who supposedly died because of the cause B under X circumstances, and I will examine how realistic that was" - just enough to get an idea of what's going on. But I understand why that could be annoying to do. Will be waiting for the next vid as always anyway:)
@@valeriavagapova No it wouldn't be annoying - it's a very good idea. Thanks! I am still learning a lot with each video I upload. Really useful hearing tips like this.
4:09 I totally lost my shit. Like I woke up my roommate and both of our bedroom doors were closed and he ran to my door knocking asking what the hell happened lost my shit.
Since I have never watched the series, only read the books, the cause of death surprises me a bit. His demise at the end of the last published book was more dramatic, and not as complicated to survive if I remember correctly. When I first read the book I was very skeptical because, unlike every other character that Martin killed off, he actually left plenty of room to question if that actually killed Jon Snow.
Damnnnn I can't like this enough! this video is SO well made!! One of the first times I actually sat through a sponsorship at the end and wanted to watch :')
I just wonder how many mountain climbers who got hypothermia could have actually revived. Of course it's difficult to help anyone on extreme altitudes, but it still makes you wonder
Ha! i DO read this shit! Joke's on you, Dr. La la la. I hope your channel's following keeps growing because it's excellent in both entertainment and information. Info... infotainment.
Great video! Im still catching up, but I raced through season 6 just so i could watch this. Kinda sad that it looks like you spoiled some of season 7 too... But worth it!
Deleted the email notification as I thought it was game related, which I'm not interested in. In my mail program, the script underneath is too small to read at 5 am when I awoke to take a piss, or shall I say let out some sewer cleaning acid. Then went back to the trash folder to double-check on a porn related one and opened your notification by mistake and boy, was I thankful !!
My grandfather drowned in a freezing river when we was 13, he was "dead" for 30 minutes and made a full recovery. The most interesting thing was being able to ask someone with first hand experience what drowning is like, he said his throat and chest burnt as if filled with acid until the "instant relief" of taking a breath of water.
Right! I thought it was 13C but I recalled a child had broken her record (hence why I said "at the time" it was the lowest). I wanted to concentrate on adults as kids are like entirely different animals. Thanks 🙂
1. So hypothermia increases revival time when it happens as before, so as after cardiac arrest, the former being more promising, right? 2. Deliberate putting of someone who had cardiac arrest in hypothermia conditions does not make sense after 10 min since heart stop, does it? 3. What is the medical procedure for such hypothermic patients before they get delivered to a hospital? Should first responders try make CPR asap, or instead focus on getting to a hospital, or at least to move into warmer environment before starting CPR? Is there a temperature limit, where CPR should not be started before warming (say so cold that limbs are rigid)? 4. This reminds me the health and safety course at school, when teacher told us about higher revival time for drowned people, especially in cold water (30 min being a quite real revival time). Is it the same due to hypothermia in water, or does drowning itself may contribute to increasing revival time / brain preservation? P.S.: Marvellous content! Greetings from Russia. P.P.S.: In your video about emergencies on planes ('She's got no pulse') I've noticed some russian/soviet style poster in the back ground saying "Мы впереди. на космическом марше!" ("We are ahead. on a space march"). Have you been in Russia? What is the story of that poster?
With all the cardiac arrest jokes, he makes some pretty dark jokes for a person who deals with that kind of thing daily! I guess I shouldn't be too surprised, you should hear the Dementia jokes retirement home workers have!
Icepacks to the skull have gone in and out of fashion. For a while we cooled everyone, all over the body, after a cardiac arrest. Then it turned out that actually caused more harm. So we thought let's just cool the brain, but it didn't help. So now we just make sure body and brain don't get hot but we don't actively cool them. Presumably because by the time medical attention gets to them, the damage has been done so cooling at that stage will not change much.
Thanks for your hilarious videos , please keep it up! I was wondering, what's the deal with cryogenics? Will doctors in the future really be able to bring back the likes of Walt Disney?!
So far, we're a long long way from being able to unfreeze anyone who is currently frozen. No matter what the Silicon Valley types promise, there are some problems which seem fairly insurmountable for the foreseeable future, however I guess many of these companies trade on that - they say we're freezing you for reanimation *hundreds* of years from now as opposed to decades. Vitrification is a process which allows your cells to freeze without damage (water expands when it freezes which destroys the cells, so a cryoprotectant is used to replace it). That's all fine but we have no idea how to get that stuff out and water back in.
I collapsed in the street and was saved by a police officer, I was taken to Kings College Hospital and an I.C.D was put in my chest, it's amazing what they can do now if you're treated in time and everyday I wake up I thank the police officer and the amazing people at Kings College Hospital. I was told that I was the luckiest man alive that day because 7% of people who go through this survive.
I know lots of the King's team! Excellent hospital and especially the intensive care and cardiology teams. Sorry you went through that but delighted to hear it was a good outcome. Wishing you best of health.
Your contributions to RU-vid's positive content is inspiring. You are a great RU-vidr. What is it is like being/becoming a Physician in UK. Is it true they are paid less than MDs/DOs/MBBSs from USA?
Oh yes, we're paid much less here but enough to live on which is fine with me. In the US there are big differences between what, say, a family doctor earns and what an orthopaedic surgeon or a cardiologist might earn but in the UK we're all around the same. You can obviously supplement with additional work but the basic rate for all fully trained doctors in the National Health Service is comparable. The main differences are that in the UK we can enter medical school directly from high school which I think is better as pre-med seems a waste of time but our training after graduation takes much longer as we rotate through many specialties for several years before specialising. That has good and bad points, I quite like it. I feel training once you've started work is much better in America, here there is such demand on the health service that training grade doctors (ie residents) spend much of their time providing service rather than learning.
Niiiice! I'll not show the mrs that comment or she'll get proper jealous! 🤣😂🤣 I'm guessing you're on again tonight, I won't offer any jinxing platitudes 😋 but I hope there's space in them posh wards for yas 👍
Hey I didn't get any notifications this was out ! And even less visibility on my homepage. Just sayin', I feel ripped off. But the video was great, nice freak cases and all ... but honestly these jokes you made were the true killers. It's not even that the jokes are clever beyond measure, but I can't help myself from picturing you saying "I'D BRING ME WAAAAARHAMMER DOWN UPON IT" in some empty room in a hospital hoping so hard that none of your colleagues comes in ! And this is worth a lot.
