I see a new Strong video, I click. Im not sure if this is a new form of dependence. It is great seeing you Dr. Strong even outside of your usual format.
Fun video! That heart looks REALLY claustrophobic, though. Apologies for my momentary thought that you said the superior vena cava brings blood "from the head and arse".
Just watched a video from How To Cook That and they talked about the fake brain tumor story and i am so glad there are still people like you willing to expose the truth and never giving up, thanks for all your hard work.
I watched the Ann Riordan video, which referenced your channel, I’ve subscribed and want to say thank you for your dedication to bringing truth forward! 👍👍
Hi Eric! Can you do a video about recognizing shock on the wards? I recently missed a beginning septic shock. I knew something was wrong with the patient but I just put it off because I was in stress with the daily business. I was lucky and experienced collegue took over the patient by coincidence shortly after I saw the patient. He had a shoulder infection. So I would be glad if you could do a video on it. Thank you a lot! You’re my youtube hero!
Yes, it is! If you're familiar with RU-vidr Tom Scott, when he announced an end to his marathon 10 year stretch of weekly videos, I felt inspired to make a "Tom Scott style" video myself, though my son (i.e. the cameraman) says my accent isn't as cool as Tom's.
As a non English speaker, I enjoy your voice and accent and your teachings, while comprehensive and information packed, also bring me peace and calm and make me sleepy because of your narration and tone/pitch
I went to summer camp at the Franklin Institute around 1994. If I remember I was there for two weeks and in the second week it rained preventing us from using the outdoor playground. Instead campers were taken to the heart exhibit where campers rapidly developed into symptoms of cardiovascular disease. Elevated blood pressure as our speed increased racing through the exhibit as many times as we could during the break from science activities. As far as I am aware, the exhibit was not receiving ACE inhibitors or any other form of renin-angiotensin-aldosterone system blockade. The chambers of the exhibit experienced higher mean arterial pressures as campers surged through the chambers, pushing against one another, and as we used our hands to push against the walls of the exhibit to aid our rapid progression. Atherosclerosis was evidenced as the pressure increased and the vessels and chambers were noted as stiff and not compliant to flow as they were during normotensive circulation with our families and earlier in the week. Pulse wave velocity were it to have been measured doubtless increased as we began counting how many times we had circulated through the exhibit. Aldosterone levels were increasing in this exhibit, if only in the campers as we rebounded through the chambers and vessels. Tachycardia was readily observed and campers thirst increased in response to the exhibit's chronic high blood pressure. Rather suddenly, shortness of breath was observed as campers were seen briefly on the upper balcony. Microclots were suspected when visualization via transfemoral cath revealed a grouped up behind older museum goers had formed into a more than 90% blockage whwn descending from the left atrium through the valve. Left ventricle was unremarkable with no indication of hypertrophy. Our counselors noted the appearance of microclots in the pulmonary vein as campers short of breath bunched and spontaneously resolved just prior to reentering the heart from the balcony/lungs. Edema, venous insufficiency and stasis were observed as counselors began blocking campers and impeding their reentry to the heart. Symptoms resolved spontaneously, although follow-up recommended with cardiology to assess disease progression. While we did not experience it, Iong term risk factors demonstrate an increased risk for secondary cerebral infarct and our counselor's head nearly exploded when she saw we had been doing.
