Better be careful - an untreated sarcophagus in the esophagus is quickly gonna progress into a severe case of mummy in the tummy.

"We are truly infallible creatures. I don't know what infallible means." This just says it all, doesn't it?

"I dont like calling them Diabetics. Patients with Diabetes..." THANK YOU DR MIKE! I have struggled with this since I was diagnosed and am so thankful to hear this.

The “a ratcoon runs in and steals the appendices” had me laughing on the ground

6:05 When giraffes are born, the mother is standing up in case she needs to run away from predators. The height of the baby giraffe’s fall (5-6 feet) snaps the umbilical cord. Giraffes are pregnant for about ~15 months so the calf is developed enough stand almost right away…there saved you a Google search

"In the end it doesn't even matter" I'm proud of you for getting that one, that song is a classic.

I once asked my GP how he remembered the glycolisis cycle as I was approaching a cellular biology exam, which sadly included more biochem than I was prepared for. ""Glucose goes in, pyruvate comes out, MAGIC HAPPENS in the middle". It was more than I remembered about it!

The beauty of this doctor is the learning and his brutal truth about his lack of knowledge. Then he takes us through the Journey of learning what he has forgotten or learning something new together. Not to mention his charisma and charity are over the board. And there is also Bear, Sam and Dan that makes us laugh even more.

"A racoon runs in and steals the appendix. Another big problem." The fact he could say that with a straight face kill me lol

I love how serious he was when he said “A raccoon could come in and steal this person’s appendix.”

mike: "DONT use your phone before bed" me: *literally watches a vid every night before i go to sleep AND sleeps with tv on*

I relate to that meme about working 12-13 hour overnight shifts. I’m a corrections officer and I work 12 hours overnight shifts. The struggle is REAL

Dr Mike: DON'T use your phone before bed All of us: *watching his videos and educating ourselves at night on our phones*

"Don't eat your friend's colon." Well there go my weekend plans. Thanks Mike.

0:43 i got it immediatly i was like"i tried so hard but got so far but in the end it doesnt even matter" i knew it the second i saw it

Doctor Mike's videos are the best way to learn and have fun at the same time

I cant believe how someone can balance high quality healthcare with high quality videos and has an upload schedule this good. Keep up the good work Dr mike!

6:13 "Are giraffes born in the neck?" This man completed medical school. I'm glad we're all human.

I loved the glove snapping back at the e dude’s face. Instant Karma!

A racoon just runs in and steals the appendix got me dying 😂

I just looked up the giraffe giving birth thing, since giraffes give birth standing up, the baby giraffe can drop 6 feet to the ground, and it’s basically like sky diving out of a plane.

Dr Mike: trained medical professional Also Dr Mike: Are giraffe babies born in the neck?

Thanks to Doctor Mike I really want to learn CPR and chest compressions in case something happens when I'm out and about, and I can save a life! (I'm also thinking of getting a first aid kit and keeping around me just in case for me and others.)

I'm so bummed I discovered your channel like a month ago, everything I see about your tour looks so damn fun! Hope you get to do more of them ❤ 😢

"Tunnel Fishin'" is still the greatest pun Dr. Mike has come up with 😂

mike said "oesophagus pharaoh" with such confidence and not even a moment of hesitation he was completely off when he said it but i can respect how quickly and naturally he said it

09:04 - That's why in Germany every "Fahrschüler" that is on the way to become their drivers license has to get an "Erste Hilfe Kurs" (Lecture in First Aid) to learn about CPR and other First Aid related stuff like bandages, signs for broken bones or strokes (BEFAST!!!!). We also learn the "stabile Seitenlage" (stable lateral position) if the patient isn't conscious but breathing.

These jokes are flying so far legend says some of them are still flying over his head to this day

“Cannot copy files because no” should be an ADHD meme for sure

"We are infallible creatures." I love how correctly he used that wrong.

I actually really like what my current pill bottles do-- regular kid safe lock on bottom and simple screw on lid if you flip it over. So if you need the lock great and if no kids or pets you can just twist easier😊

The Nostril one is me Straight up I swear Everytime i try to sleep my Nose gets Backed up it's backed up right now.

"My soviet father will hit me." "Somehow that thoughtalways worked." *Have you considered therapy of the non-physical kind?*

2:54 My old chemistry teacher used to say something along the lines of: "From the moment someone knows the risks/consequences of doing something bad/unhealthy/dangerous, it is their choice to still do that thing. The real problem is when someone doesn't know the risks/consequences and still does the thing."

2:26 I have actually heard somewhere that you always have one nostril that's "fully in use" while the other is used less but which one it is switches through the day. You can probably check it by breathing onto a glas plain like a window every so often and then checking which on side the foggy area is larger...

The phone thing is so true I do the same seeing “NO”

Just wanted to share a story! I was babysitting two little girls who were both witches with all of the powers in the whole entire world (in the game of course). I (as their pet shape-shifting bear) died suddenly to see how they would react. Immediately, the 5 year old starts yelling "CHEST COMPRESSIONS CHEST COMPRESSIONS CHEST COMPRESSIONS!", (until her sister just used her "Alive again power") I asked why, and she said "Dr. Mike, duh. 🙄" Keep up the good work!

As someone who works in a pharmacy, I totally understand the whole "drug name" thing - our patients are often expressing their amazement that we can pronounce the unpronounceable... SPOILER: we don't truly know how to say these things either, it's usually our best guess as well! We do appreciate the efforts made by the customers, and sometimes we get amusing (and frankly adorable) versions. I mean, I'll never forget the day I had a chap ask me for "disposable aspirin" 😆

As someone who just watched RU-vid right before I go to bed all the time this is very true im now groggy didn't get much sleep and I now have very little time before I have to get ready for the day

Mike not getting jokes and Sam laughing at Mike not getting jokes gives me life lol. It's okay, he can get away with "cute but stupid" pretty easily :P

It's somewhat reassuring to hear "one of my nostrils usually doesn't work" from a doctor because one of mine is also that way. It always feels narrower than the other and I've often wondered if I have a deviated septum.

Doctor Mike never gets jokes because while we all were looking at memes, he was actually studying lol

0:33 IT dozen even matter (it doesn't even matter)🤣🤣🤣

I work for a company that administers Medicaid benefits. I'm on the publications team - we work with pharmacy folks a lot. I'm absolutely convinced that pharm companies use Scrabble tiles to create drug names. It's madness!

"If you look at yourself and you see that there's an improvement to be made, that's kind of healthy." This is the kind of body positivity opinion we need.

When I was going through cancer treatments, it always bugged me when people would thank god any time something good happened, but blamed doctors any time something went wrong and not even think to thank the doctors and nurses that were actively saving my life. I made sure to always thank them when I wasn't in debilitating pain from the chemo, asleep or throwing up. Now when I go back for checkups, I always bring them a little memento to brighten their day.

3:00 I wish I could listen to this, but it's just so hard-engrained in my routine. Just the feeling of not having "winded down" with dumb sh*t on my phone before bed, makes me feel so uncomfortable that THAT makes it even harder for me to fall asleep.

“We are infallible creatures” I’m pretty sure I just don’t like being told no and being told no makes me want to do it more 😂

I just passed biochemistry a week ago an I’ll be honest, it was the hardest thing in my university career so far.

5:49 As a type 1 diabetic, I always like to describe it like “Yeah I have type 1 diabetes because my beefy immune system became a dipshit one day and confused my beta cells for flu bugs or something and committed genocide against them and now my pancreas is traumatized”

Dr Mike without fail always taking 3x the amount of time a normal person would take to understand any sort of pun will always be amusing

Around Halloween, Heinz markets its ketchup as "Tomato Blood".

As someone who wears glasses, the condensation one is so true. Especially waiting for the bus on cold day and I put my mask on just to keep warm.

Dr Mike, such a smart man who regularly impresses me with his knowledge.......doesn't get the Giraffe joke.

My man just said a racnnon just runs and steals the appendix..lol..😂😂😂

0:08 What was really interesting there is how the nurse didn't even flinch when the doc pops himself with the glove...lol

Watching Mike trying to make the connections is funnier than the actual memes 😂

The real question is : how the hell do you do all those things while STILL being a doctor ? How many hours does your day have ? Mine's only 24 and it's not enough for all I do (which is only like a half of yours)

Dysdiadochokinesia (diadochokinesia) or diadochokinesis is the inability to defined as the inability to perform rapid alternating muscle movements. These can be quick, synchronous, and can include pronation/supination, fast finger tapping, opening and closing of the fists, and foot tapping.

Dr. Mike, I love everything you post. Keep it up ;)

2:15 Is actually a natural thing to happen. One of your nostrils always has a slightly worse flow than the other, and it switches sides every few hours. The reason is there are certain smell particles which need a bit longer on the receptors to be registered, and there are ones which need only whizz by, and they will create a signal instantly. If you have a very fast airflow, you are skipping the slow particles, and if you are going too slowly, you might risk suffocation, so you have both at the same time, but not always at the same place.

I used to think because of Med School that doctors were all highly intelligent. Thank you Mike for shining light on this for me.

Lol the meme of jokes flying over dr Mike's head after the giraffe mean was perfect

Can we just take a moment for dr mikes crew? They are very talented

The rock is definitely genetically gifted, he's simoan and his entire family was jacked. If you look at pictures of his grandpa he's just as jacked as the rock was early on. However he definitely is juiced now.

~8:26 Bear looked mildly offended when you said he smelled gross.

The lincoln park meme was actually impressive thanks for what u do dr

4:40 bro that's so true I literally had to defog my glasses constantly because they kept getting too fogged up to see 😭

It’s crazy how someone can be so smart yet take forever to get these memes 😂😂 but to be fair my brain also went to ‘tunnel fision’ first

These videos automatically make me happier and healthier

The tunnel fishin moment was amazing😂😂😂😂

2:18 I experience this a lot so I put on my humidifier and breathe in the steam through my nose. Helps a lot.

9:05 fun fact, on long unskipable ads, you can press the little i button, report it for being repetitive and boom it’s gone. Takes about 5 secs so like it’s skipable ad. Don’t use it on short ads though or RU-vid may get suspicious.

Im going to be honest, you’re one of the main reasons why I want to be a doctor. Right now I’m working hard so I can apply to college with all the requirements but man..I never thought I’d be that interested in medicine without you

3:04 i was watching it in bed before i was going to bed lol😂

Hahaha! @8:02, Zyrtec the Almighty!! So funny!! My dad and I used to joke that Lipitor sounded like a good evil character name!!!

Hearing Dr. Mike mispronounce and incorrectly used words he doesn’t know just because it “sounds right” is the funniest thing ever. My husband does the same thing and I rarely correct him anymore because I know what he’s trying to say. We are all definitely fallible 😁

7:04 thats normal brain thinking, an adhd brain will do exactly the same but afterwards start thinking of random things instead of learning the stuff.

I loved biochemistry. I didn’t pursue medicine though, I work with animals in zoology at the moment while I figure out my grad school plans 😂

Ok per 8:15 I might be able to shed some light. My dad works in pharmaceuticals. He invented and holds the patents for transdermals such as Vivel, VivelDot, CombiPatch, and LidoCare among several others (yes bragging, I'm super proud of my papa). Vivel was named for the ingredients in it. VivelDot was named for the ingredients + Dot because it's as small as a dot, and at the time was the smallest medical patch to ever be created. CombiPatch *combines* two ingredients that had never been combined before and it makes a *patch* which was the first patch created to treat ADHD. LidoCare was named because it's Lidocaine that takes *care* of a painful area. When he's naming something it's usually a combination of what's in it + what it does, or else what's in it + something unique about it.

I'm a biomed student here in the UK, I'm currently studying my biochem module. Nice to know I'm screwed 😂. thanks for the vids mike

Dr Mike: "narcissists think they're perfect" Also Dr. Mike: "I'm a comedic genius"

Even I got the one about Carpel Tunnel 😂

The nostril one is the most relatable thing i've seen all month Everytime i wake up one nostril is as clear as possible, and the other one feels like it's been through 5 stages of hell

“I like wrinkles. It shows wisdom.” Everyone ever, with Ehlers-Danlos Syndrome: “Yeah, me, too. And that’s why I hate looking decades younger, especially when the rest of my body is constantly breaking…”

You figuring out the IT meme literally made my day 😂😂

I feel extremely extremely lucky that both organic and biochem came pretty easily to me (I graduated with a chem degree so it helped that I loved the subject matter). Lots of people I knew who wanted to go into medicine struggled with it and plenty failed and re-took it, so I got into tutoring and TAing as quickly as possible to try and help as many people as I could. If Dr Mike struggled that hard with biochem and he’s out here doing this well now it’s possible for anybody :) chem blows but your DREAMS DONT

Ngl, before Sam explained it, i thought it was tunnel-fishion. Awesome video, love from Canada!

6:55 OMG! Reminds me of my Biology Exam in high school. A little context first, since I’m Danish and go to school in Denmark. 1. We call High School, Gymnasium here (we also have something called high school, but that’s different). 2. Our High School/Gymnasium is typically/standardly 3 years and after Folkschool/Grade School (aka after 0th to 9th or 10th grade) 3. Subjects or ‘classes’ (such as Biology, History, English, etc.) come in A, B, and C level, which tells how many years you have it, and at what ‘level’ (like how ‘hard’). A being all 3 years, B 2 years, and C 1 year. 4. Around 3rd G (3rd year) you have to raise a C subject to B, a B subject to A, and a new C subject to add. 5. Grades are numbers, and kinda weird. They are as followed (from lowest to highest); -3, 00, 02, 4, 7, 10, and 12. Getting 4 is like average, although 02 is the minimum passing grade, 7, and 10 are pretty/really good grades, with 12 being the best/highest. 00 is failed of course, and -3 is so bad that you can only get it by literally not showing up and not notifying of it, with very very few exceptions where you’re so bad that you might as well not have shown up (I have a story of getting that too). So, the story: I had raised Biology from C to B, and our small class (we were only like 6 I think) drew Biology as one of our exams. Now I enjoy biology, part of why I decided to raise that to B, but I did also dread one subject to get for the Exam, and since oral exams work by you drawing one of the subjects you’ve had during the year and then getting like... I think for Biology it’s like 15 or 30 minutes to prepare after you’ve drawn your topic. I went in and drew the topic I absolutely did not want, and I’d consider my worst one of the ones we’d had (it was the female menstrual cycle btw). I went into the preparation room and prepped the best I could, which was not a lot. I spent the majority of the time dreading the whole thing, hoping to get an 02, and considering it very lucky if I get a 4. Time comes for me to go in and present, I do, and I’m basically screaming internally the entire time, then comes the ‘voting’ as it’s called between my teacher and our censor (forgot to mention but a Censor is a teacher from another school there to ensure the exam is fair and the students’ teacher isn’t playing favourites). The voting takes about 5-10 minutes and I get called in. I sit, dreading getting only 02 and when my teacher then tells me I got 7, I actually asked him “Are you serious?” in disbelief, and he confirmed it. To say I was relieved and pleasantly surprised is an understatement. I expressed my joy and excitement over the grade and told them how I felt so bad about the entire thing and was sure I’d only get 02 and that I thought I’d be lucky to get a 4, and then I get the grade ABOVE that.

Oh my god, the part about it being normal to hate the sound of one’s own voice on recordings!!! THANK YOU!!!! I hate the sound of my voice and I thought I was weird for it😩😩 look ma, I’m normal!!!

Dr Mike - whichis easier for you - when the patients are telling you which substance they are taking, or when they tell you the name of the medicine they are taking? e.g. sertraline v. Zoloft or doxycycline v. Unidox etc.

the chemistry between you and your camera man is unmatched

I love the moments where Mike is trying to puzzle out what a meme says and the camera dude is super entertained

To be fair to the Rock, just looking at a picture of him at age 15, it’s fairly clear that his body has had *wild* chemistry going on inside it ever since puberty hit him like a freight train.

"Biochemistry is like if the most difficult parts of chemistry and calculus had a baby" As a math/computer major with science hobbies thinking of taking organic chem for fun, don't threaten me with a good time lol

You getting absolutely destroyed by "IT dozen even matter" made my week.

Fun fact: the “dominant” nostril changes about every 3 to 6 hours so one is always less "activate" than the other. :) (If I remember this correctly.) Not sure what this is called, but it’s a thing. Edit: It's every 3 to 6 hours as someone pointed out, not 8 minutes as I sloppily recalled.

I had a patient goto 4 tanning salons in two hours. She had to be sent to stonybrook burn unit for third degree burns. Basically the ER doctor told her she was cooking her self internally . 😳

Doing pushups tends to help with the nostril clogging problem. Or just holding a plank as long as blood is rushing to your head it works.
