Doctor Breaks Down Medical Science in IRON MAN 3 | Doctor Reacts 

We’re back looking at the medical science in the MCU! Rewatching this I LOVED it 3000 after the arc (no pun intended) Iron Man had in Endgame. Hope you enjoy revisiting it with me. Timestamps to scenes: 00:31 - Dr Hansen on healing / regeneration 03:36 - Killian discusses our pain centre 08:04 - Killian & Potts on gene therapy 10:57 - Happy in hospital 13:16 - Tony’s panic attacks / mental health 20:28 - Tony in surgery

"Junior doctor and a teaching fellow . . . " Tell me you make your students watch these videos for class credit . . .

For the "we only use 10% of our brains potential" thing you should totally watch Lucy and discuss about it here

18:30 "The answer isn't always to throw anti-depressants at people" My previous doctor should've learned that from you.

17:41 The background in Dr Hope's room agrees Tony has PTSD as well :^)

A video I’m sure a lot of us were excited for after your first Iron Man video. I’m glad you went into as much depth with PTSD being shown in the film as it deserved! An entertaining video as always, Dr. Hope, and I love forward to your future videos too whether they are Marvel related or medical in general! A question for you: Do you think Tony still has his PTSD symptoms in all future Marvel films or do you think after this film uses the plot point his disorder suddenly disappears? Interested to know your thoughts.

Just to let you know that Hataraku Saibou/Cells at Work is getting a second season uwu

I still think it'd be good continuing this series by going through the medical scenes in the agents of shield tv series. There's loads of good scenes you could pick out from there and analyse =P

I know a lot of people didn't care for Iron Man 3 (admittedly, it wasn't my favorite when it was released) but my mental health had been in a pretty rapid decline through 2019 and then last year my mom passed very suddenly. Needless to say my mental health to an extravagant nosedive after. Seeing Tony work through his ptsd gives me some hope that I'll make it back to normalcy eventually. A year later and I've just now been able to go back to work for the most part.

I love this series so much - seriously it's so informative. But I've gotta say, I really, REALLY appreciate that when inaccuracies do come up, you actually comment on it being clearly down to narrative or visual necessity rather than just giving the usual 'well they've got that wrong' response!

Haha I remember you accidentally streaming this movie on youtube a week ago

Harley: Do you have PTSD? Tony: I don’t think so. Dr. Hope: *I do!*

Unless I'm mistaken this is the first time you've introduced yourself as a Teaching Fellow as well as a junior doctor. So congrats on the promotion (im assuming a teaching fellowship is a promotion thing)

I think in the first two movies the shrapnel was supposed to be inoperable, which is why Tony removing the shrapnel in this movie wasn't well received, because it seemed like a plothole. You kind of have to assume medicine progressed kind of a lot between films in the MCU universe.

I really appreciate this kind of video. Despite the realism or the true nature of those scenes, you're making them more interesting and educational at the same time. For someone like me who didn't study medicine, I really love this!

Even when I saw it for the first time, I was thinking that Tony might have a case of PTSD. I mean, not only did his entire reality as he knew it become shattered in The Avengers, he almost _died_ at the end of the film. That _has_ to have some kind of lasting effect on the human psyche. Out of curiosity, is the term “Shell Shock” still in use today? If so, what’s the new definition?

Keep doing the MCU videos. I love watching them!

as a person who recently took a psych class this is such a cool video to me and i understood so much but you helped me learn more! love these videos!!

Been watching Dr Hope’s videos for a month now, and I think accounting isn’t my field anymore.

You should check out how they used Extremis in the comics. They crossed nano tech with a virus that overrode the entire body's healing system. They also came up with much more inventive uses for it, including creating a human body that could survive on a space station for extended periods of time without suffering the negative side effects that usually result from that.

I laughed really hard at the sterile drape image at the end and I don't know why.

Your show is great, I'm learning a lot. Thanks very much for carrying on. Also, I'm so glad about the consistent presence of that very fine-looking Strat in the background :)

It's always fascinated me that when you hurt yourself, remembering it later does not evoke the same response; you don't feel the pain again, although you remember that it hurt. The one exception being emotional pain. Recalling when someone/something broke your heart can hurt about as much as it did originally...

Regarding your commentary on the "10% of our brain" thing, my first thought was an analogy of "only using 10% of our roads" and that 100% usage would be bumper-to-bumper blockage full of honking and shouting. Not an optimal way for a brain to function, methinks.

My buddy Gabe likes to use simple terms for body parts, like "that's the happy part of the brain" "that's an arm!" "Money is green!"

Outstanding breakdown and analysis, as always. Thank you, Dr. Hope!

Hello from Australia! We're really enjoying your Marvel series! Pet Emily for me please!

I feel like it would be so cool to have this guy as my doctor

On the topic of PTSD: a show (anime) that I can whole-heatedly recommend is Violet Evergarden. It is an interesting abstraction of how veterans feel after returning to normal live.

Nice video, as usual ! Very, interesting and clear, even if English is not my first language. Keep going :)

When the guy said Dendritic I immediately remembered what it was about thanks to Cells at Work

This is literally what i tried to find on YT yesterday. Great timing

Good timing, I just rewatched this movie the other day so it was nice and fresh going into this vid

The percentages usage of our brain really is intriguing..I would suggest Lucy doc coz the movie claimed they'd consulted experts for the stages of the brain percentages usage scenes.

Professor Cox of Medicine education. I like your videos so much matey.

Pacific Rim brain compatibility meaning the drift tech that they use in the movie right hemisphere left hemisphere of the brain

"What a little smoothie" lol

Dr Hope, I just wanna say: I love you

as a student learning biology, I would like to thank you for explaining some of the words like Cytokines cause i have long been wondering the meanings of many concept words or actions like Cytokinesis for the chapter of cell division which i have now understand. :)

10:07- that's why it's called Extremis

I love your channel, and the talk about gene therapy made me check, and it look like you haven't talked about metal gear solid. I think that's a treasure trove of psudosience that you could pick apart and extrapolate on. Especially the talk about recessive/dominant genes.

my favourite doctor is back with a bang

Breaking down the medical terms has really helped me communicate and explain to my kids the reasons they feel different emotions from exercise or stress from studying.

''So Iron Man lives with the equivalent of a tiny sun in his chest. What could possibly go wrong? Current tokamak reactors routinely suffer from major disruptions in magnetic confinement, which can be compared to brief, intense flashes of lightning occurring between the fuel and the reactor walls. These can deform or melt the metal parts and cause short circuits. Since Iron Man has survived in the comics since 1963, we can safely assume his small arc reactor is engineered to withstand such major disruptions. However, Stark may be jolted awake in the middle of the night when lightning strikes inside his reactor, and he would have to deal with the armor’s electronics being short-circuited on occasion. Radiation is another hazard in Stark’s life. Fusion reactions release particles called neutrons which can heat water to boiling point-very useful for power generation, but dangerous to humans. Even if all of them are prevented from escaping the arc reactor, over time the neutron bombardment will turn it radioactive. Stark will have to closely monitor the levels of radioactivity in his chest! And there is more bad news for Stark: the electromagnets. Iron is commonly used as the core material in electromagnets, and iron is heavy. The iron-cored electromagnets used in the JET fusion reactor weigh over 3000 tons. Of course, Stark’s small arc reactor is tiny in comparison; additionally, the walls of a tokomak reactor are made of beryllium, which is very light for a metal-its density is less than twice that of the human body. Clever engineering, which we know Stark is capable of, ensures that Stark can easily lift the arc reactor, but it will still sit heavy in the center of his chest.'' got this off of somewhere

You should cover Full Metal Alchemist.

Why don't you try react to the "Outlander" series? It's about a nurse from 2WW who travels 200 years back time and can only use the limited resources of the nature. The series is not mainly related with medicine but there are plenty of scenes where we can see the main charecter working with serious injures or using different herbs. It looks so real and professionablly done! I'd love to see you react to it! :)

I learn so much about the body thanks to this channel and kept entertained! Thank you!

Ironman, one of my fav characters 😢

There's also this one guy on youtube who did DIY genetherapy to cure lactose intolerance. So that's a thing.

I love watching you videos! You give a healthy repetition for a fellow nursing student on anatomy and its different applications :)

Would love to see a video about HBO's Chernobyl and give a deeper look into radiation and it's effects on the body.

Well, at least he sleeps pretty well now...

You even talk to the camera like the viewers are in your office 🤣

Looking at these miniatures I can clearly see this guy is younger Doctor Strange.

What is the risk of being addicted to morphine after being in the hospital for a long period of time? Also, Iron Man 3 is an underrated movie, these facts about Tony are valuable. Great video as always!

This guy’s awesome I love all this doctor and science stuff so this guys great when you like that

Love the video and this whole series, please keep it up!

In iron man 2 tony creates a new element which then creates a new element called vibranium (although it exists in captain america first avenger set in the 1940s and later in black panther its confirmed that vibranium existed the on earth in the mcu the whole time) arc reactor with and it corrects the poisoning and prevents any further poisoning

RU-vid recommended something good to me for a change. This is really interesting.

Hi doc please will you do a sicknotes on the series “New Amsterdam” I think it would be a brilliant source of information for viewers on all sorts of different types of things you’d be dealing with in your day to day life in hospital. Really enjoying the vids keep up the great work 👍

Yay new video finally! I missed youu

Damn that movie medical breakdown really helps me to fully understand about each of the condition in the movie... Plus I'm a biology student, so this kind of video really makes me interested to watch more and more

I have a question so it's great Tony gets rid of the shrapnel but doesn't he now have a massive hole in his chest and sternum like would that not cause alot of problems???

I love this channel so much!

So I’m guessing part of Tony’s Ribcage has been taken out to make room for big magnet in his chest right? Surely that can’t be comfortable and would his ribcage be all held together still?

Is there any explanation why pain mostly makes me laugh for and only sometimes makes me angry or sad

Anyone else think of the shrapnelectomy at the end as more a metaphor for him trusting someone enough to work on his PTSD with him? Everything else about MCU Iron Man has been one giant metaphor for PTSD. The suit is his hypervigilance, the palladium is his maladaptivity. The fact that, until the very last film, he only ever says "I am Iron Man" while out of the suit. It's not his suit or his codename, it's his mantra. He copes by declaring himself reforged in iron, when in reality he's still a boozy, paranoid mess. I say this as someone with PTSD who ticks a lot of the same boxes, albeit without ever having built a suit of armour.

Fire farts lol

Please do more of these marvel video's

The thumbnail makes you look like Benidict Cumberbatch.

Wonder how you'll react to "Lucy"?

Gwyneth Paltrow is the perfect person to be in a movie with sci fi science. I think it’s funny that’s she goes everywhere in her Netflix serious to learn about medicine except medical school

I wish I saw you at my local hospital

Super smart, funny guy. Love your content!!!

You said you need 2-3 liters of water/fluids a day, is there a way to figure out how much a person should be intaking?

"The only flammable substance that your body really creates usually comes out of the other hole." LMAO

6:33 Although they didn't go anywhere with it in the movie and are not likely to do so in future movies; the way Killian says "...ESENTUALY and empty slot" made me think that at some point it was going to be revealed that it is actually not an empty slot and Extremis overrided part of a person's brain says the part that gave them free will allowing A.I.M or The Mandarin (the real one) to control the Extremis super soldiers and they hoped to get it used in everyday medicine so they could slowly take over the world by brainwashing Extramis patients.

Can you explain that ID card on that skeleton

15:00 Jesus that happened to me afew times before it’s been awhile and I hope it doesn’t happen again but as life is it will Lol I thought I was going to be struck down and just die right where I sat so I panicked and ran outside and tried to rationalize how I felt and why but try as I might it just kept hitting me so I just accepted it and rode it out while being scared out of my mind lol

What a smart person

Wow...so I definitely have PTSD...

Anyone noticed the prohibition signs on his instruments in most of his videos? No? Just me? But why Dr. Hope?

Wait... the kid from that scene? What do you mean? I’ve seen endgame twice I don’t recall seeing the kid popup?!?

My favorite doctor and my favorite hero? This video is gonna be good

Will you do any more Marvel films? Have a suggestion for a show to tackle... Your Lie in April. There's a bit of debate on what condition a certain character suffered from so I'd be curious as to what you might get from the clues over the show (it's not a long show)

We need from medical breakdown amazing Spiderman too..

Can you examine how scientifically Kamen Rider Ex-Aid. I can understand if you say no to it since it’s hard to find many streaming site with it, and it’s a Japanese series, mainly focused at kids, but please at least consider it.

Which car do you drive

How do you talk so awesomely😍

Please analyze Deadpool :)

Somato is just a special word for tomato

When we getting the next one

I was looking forward to you reviewing this one, because of the mental health side of it, so thanks! :)

Yo could u make a video reacting to the flash show science facts and such.

Have you done Call the Midwife?

Do “The Nightshift”

this is the best iron man movie

Always love your reaction, i recommend you check out some great kdrama on doctors like Heart Surgeons, Doctor Stranger, you will really love it. Keep educating us

Wow your really smart and cool keep up the AWESOME work

OK I have a Q. about YT For the longest of time I wasn't getting any ads when a vid plays or during the vid when the time reaches to those yellow points. But now all of a sudden this is my 1st YT vid I'm watching today I'm seeing adds. Any reason why before it wasn't a thing now it is and is there a way to disable it?
