I was recently tagged and had sent a clip from an interview with Dr. Karan Rajan seemingly bad-mouthing chest compressions. Folks in my DMs and in my comments know how strongly I advocate for CPR, and they were eager to watch me attack this clip and fact-check Dr. Rajan. The thing is... I can't, because nothing he said was incorrect. That doesn't mean I'm not without my outrage though, as I believe this experience is emblematic of TikTok outrage culture and my core issues with that platform: the algorithm and audience is designed to highlight anger, divisiveness, and is breeding a culture I'm not enjoying being a part of. This has led me to wonder... should I stay?

I don’t understand how this ever became an issue in the first place. Dr. Karan said that the success rate for CPR was much higher in healthy, strong, younger adults, but with elderly people it’s much lower and even if it works it could just straight up be non-beneficial. You’ve said before that often times CPR breaks ribs, and I thought to myself “of course something with a high likelihood of causing injury in the process of saving someone would be less beneficial to an elderly person with a weakened ability to heal!” And his explanation also made sense because of course no heartbeat would starve the brain and cause brain damage! It doesn’t make sense how people misinterpreted this as “CPR bad” because that’s not what it is, it’s about how CPR *can* save a life but it’s also not a miracle worker!

Social media is making our patience worst. You can see that in cases like this when people hear and immediately respond instead or hearing, listening, thinking, researching and responding. They leave that part to the people their responding too. Like all those comments, they could have easly got the answer to their questions by simply thinking and researching but no, they chose to leave that work to Doc.

@eXJonSnow 15 дней назад

The people who are “failing” to understand that CPR is a great thing, even if it isn’t always successful or causes other damage are missing the point for a simple reason: they don’t care about understanding. They want to cause strife and make useless arguments for clout or because they’re spiteful people, rather than spend time to get informed. They don’t care about being informed; they care about provoking people.

I had to research DNR and CPR when I was a caregiver for my nearly 90 year old father. I was shocked to learn that in older people, ones over 60, the results of CPR are limited and sometimes horrible. What Dr Rajan said is absolutely correct. People are oftentimes brought back to life by CPR, only to languish for some time in the hospital and still end up dying while in the hospital. I determined right then that after I turned 60 I would fill out a DNR form for myself. I am 68 years old and still feel the same. Whatever a person decides on this matter, it should be respected. Bodily autonomy is very important.

My Mum saved an older man's life who's heart stopped in a public pool through CPR & I learnt it as part of my teaching career - vital skill that imho all adults should know.

@christib7650 4 месяца назад

This message that CPR isn’t a guarantee is important on its own. It’s very useful for people to know how to temper their expectations when a loved one is on the brink. It is also important for those who did perform chest compressions, and the individual did not survive. I knew somebody who held onto a lot of guilt for a really long time thinking that they had done something wrong. But of course they had not done something wrong.

When I was nursing we always put out a crash call if someone on the ward had a heart attack. Even with immediate 1st and 2nd aid (standard cpr by ward staff then intubation etc by crash team) most patients never recovered. This situation eventually led to the introduction of do not resuscitate conversations with patients and/or relatives. I have personally attended a collapsed man in his home. Even though I knew he was not going to make it I and another neighbour started cpr till the ambulance arrived. He died shortly after they got there.

@@rysterstech In actuality, you misunderstood the comment you replied to. He was talking about the misunderstanding surrounding the efficacy of CPR when it is appropriate, not the wider context of the original content. In fact, the parenthetical statement in his last sentence makes it fairly obvious that he understood that being resuscitated isn't the best outcome for everyone, thereby demonstrating his understanding of the concept of a DNR/POLST/MOLST and the need for such things to exist. For those who do not have a valid DNR or other valid instruction (e.g. a person with valid and current Powers of Attorney) to not resuscitate, early and high-quality CPR is a person's only chance for survival. Even though the overall success rate for getting ROSC is very low, that doesn't mean it's not worthwhile, as Plastic indicated. So long as you do not have a DNR or other such instruction in effect, an 8% chance of survival is certainly better than a 0% chance of survival.

@alexanderpas 10 месяцев назад

Survival rates from witnessed arrests, can be raised from 5% to 10% to be as high as 25%, as evidenced from the Netherlands, where there is a civilian network of trained first aiders, coordinated by the professional emergency services, which can be called upon if there is a high chance of survival. Those people are people already living in your local neighbourhood, and are able to arrive on on foot or by bike, before the ambulance or other professionals arrive, capable of taking over CPR from you to extend the amount of time where high quality CPR can be given, as well as bring an AED if one is available close-by. Multiple people get sent to the same call to ensure someone is on-site as quickly as possible.

I put off watching this video because I love watching both your and Dr. Karan’s content and was worried this would make me dislike one or the other. Thank you for continuing to be level headed! Everything he said is actually true. CPR has a very low success rate. But that doesn’t mean there isn’t value in doing them in hopes it saves a life. And it’s so important to keep blood and oxygen, however minimal and slow, flowing to the brain while waiting to have access to better care/technology in the hospital. There was a really informative article about this and ECPR in the New York Times recently.

He is still alive today because chest compressions saved his life. By the time the paramedics got to the house, he was responsive again. if I wasn’t CPR certified, I really don’t think I would’ve known what to do.

As a recent psychology graduate, we talked about the toxicity of TikTok and the mass misinformation crisis going on within the app. I think that TikTok has fostered a massive dunnen Kruger effect with so many people in its community. So many people feeling overly confident to give medical and mental health advice or diagnosis that they aren’t qualified to give. Honestly a few of my friends have adopted this mindset as well and I’ve had to distance myself from them because of it. It’s unfortunate but Tik tok in particular is so toxic and creates biased feedback loops and echo chambers for its users. I don’t know if it’s going to get better. So if you deleted your account I wouldn’t blame you, the world would probably benefit from Tik tok dying out.

@corneliahanimann2173 Год назад

See I agree with this, because of the amount of misinformation and pseudoscience on the app, but the problem is that there is clearly a demand for this type of content. Maybe we all leave tik tok, but we then still have youtube shorts and instagram reels, that are really feeding into the same problem. I wish therr was a way to hold creators of such apps accountsble to actually make sure they are not encouraging the spread of misinformation.

@MoA-Reload... Год назад

Imo TikTok is the perfect storm of algorithm driven content with short form and therefore short attention span. Facebook, Twitter, RU-vid and basically all the platforms use similar algorithms to feed and push content all with the same objective, keep you clicking, keep you on the platform for as long as possible. As a result it's very easy to basically inevitable that the majority of users end up in their own little echo chamber on all of these platforms. It's short form like TikTok and Twitter where imo attention spans reduce significantly so the content that'll stand the best chance of catching that shorter attention span is drama and outrage. Add the general attitude of all of us on the internet that it is somehow not IRL therefore zero consideration of consequence, very little thought beyond that knee jerk reaction that popped into our heads and well, I'm surprised the whole thing hasn't come crashing down long before now tbh.

A strategy I’ve used is based on the Blinkist app advert that is making the rounds. Replacing doom scrolling with micro learning… I actually got a history textbook on Western Civilization that I can turn to when I notice I’m just flipping through my phone and not consuming quality content for my brain. Like a few dance videos and some cute animal videos are good but not like a whole hour of them. So I’ll stop at a few, pick up my text book, just open to a random page, and all of a sudden I’m learning correct information on the Spartans. It gets me away from mindless phone usage and decreases overall screen time. (Edit to add: I doesn’t need to be a textbook, it can be short stories, or even a recipe book just something to actively engage your mind)

@hollyllorens3194 Месяц назад

Thank you for sharing! This is a topic that has been on my mind for quite some time. While I agree that TikTok, like many platforms, can propagate misinformation, the issue extends beyond just one platform. Content creators often share their messages across various social media platforms, attracting trolls and exacerbating the problem. From the perspective of a content creator, I do appreciate TikTok's editing tools. However, having been barred from using it in the military and now at UT, I can't say I miss it when it's not available. Still, I find myself facing a moral dilemma. Knowing that some individuals are sharing harmful content or distorting positive messages, I question whether I have a responsibility to continue posting beneficial content and engaging with trolls. However, it's essential to prioritize one's mental and emotional well-being. Finding the balance between fulfilling professional obligations and maintaining personal health is crucial, particularly in the realm of holistic medicine. If TikTok becomes overwhelming, it's entirely acceptable to step back. There are other platforms where your content will be better received. Personally, I believe nurturing your RU-vid channel's substantive content aligns more with the holistic approach, rather than being consumed by the chaos of TikTok.

I respect you as a reputable educator and support which ever way you choose to go. 2, Eleven years ago my dad had a heart attack driving home from work. The police who found him did CPR and brought him back. He was in the ICU for 1 week before having a second heart attack and succumbing. I am eternally grateful for the police and medical professionals' efforts RE. CPR and ICU supportive care. They gave me one more week with my dad to see him, come to terms with the fact I might lose him, and say everything I needed to say before he was gone for good.

Definitely, but we also need some way of helping people learn how to differentiate between reputable research and unsubstantiated claims. One of the most popular catch cries of the anti-science anti-vax communities is "Do your research!", when their idea of "research" has nothing to do with scientifically proven facts, and everything to do with heavy confirmation bias and searching on the internet solely for anything that matches their preconceived notions.

If it takes some anxiety, pressure, or distress off of you to leave TikTok, then I say go for it. You work hard at multiple things, so it's okay to take care of yourself and shed some toxic stuff. You have a massive, loyal following here on YT. Your videos are fun and humorous, but also informative and medically accurate. As a long-time RN, I applaud and appreciate you! I have a tremendous amount of respect for you and appreciate your heart and your integrity. (By the way, please go on tour again and come down South! Maybe Atlanta?) :)

I ODed at 16 years old and died. I'm only here because of the electrons in my brain were still firing off (according to the paramedics), that and chest compressions, EMTs were luckily down the street from my house. Dr. Karan is actually correct and so is Dr. Mike. My mind isn't as fresh as it used to be, I have trouble remembering things way more than I used to. I *feel* slower than I was before and it has severely affected me in my schooling, at work and yes even at home. Thanks for the great content Dr. Mike, and of course hats off to you Dr. Karan. Keep up yhe education.

Hey dr Mike, I think that your educational value on TikTok is important. That being said, I understand your wish to leave. Its a sinking ship that takes your time and enery and gives not a lot back. Please know that whatever you chose to do, your community that you have build on this platform will support you. The followers that you have on tiktok who are watching you for your content will find you on your other platforms. I support your decision on quiting or staying, staying would have the benefit that there is still accurate medical information on TikTok and you might accidentally influence users, but you can’t win the fight against all the wrong information on there. It’s a hard decision but whatever you will chose is right. Don’t wear yourself out over this Love from the Netherlands

Thank you for bringing attention to this and asking for our input. Deleting my TikTok was one of the best things I did for myself lately. It was starting to affect my motivation, mental health, and general well-being. I fully support leaving TikTok for these reasons as well as the reasons mentioned in the video. Tiktok's algorithm is designed to quickly figure out what triggers people, and bombard them with such content. It's plaguing our society, and it's gotta go.

I thought TikTok is double-edged sword. The other side is entertaining, and the other side is destructive with triggering any emotions because of misinterpretation of information. I found maybe we can ban people or creators that misinterpret of information rather than the application but I can't deny this app is also lack of management in it.

@ashleys4190 Год назад

I think leaving TikTok is probably for the best. Personally, I avoid most social media platforms (Facebook, Instagram, and TikTok to name a few) because of what they’ve become. They’ve become more of a cesspool for misinformation, conflict, and other issues. You have built something great here on RU-vid and I feel that shifting your focus to one platform would be for the best. All the best to you and thank you for all that you do!

What is heartbreaking about this is that Dr Rajan does actually explain about how he had a patient who was 90 and performed CPR on them and how as a junior Dr it really impacted him, so for people to 'pile on' on without context isnt fair. He comes across as a great Dr and an absolute asset to the NHS and a great youtuber as well. Leave Tik Tok, sounds like you could do without the stress tbh and it might encourage others to leave behind things that both do not serve us and cause us stress.

EXACTLY Like even if it doesn’t save every single person out there there’s still the chance of it saving at least one person and it’s absolutely worth a shot

@sallycinnamon5370 7 месяцев назад

I think setting realistic expectations is not a bad thing. If it was my loved one or when I am at work in my ER…I know the low chances of getting them back and the low chance of long term survival even if we do get them back…but a 1 in 10-20 chance is nothing to sneeze at in either scenario. Sure it’s unlikely. But it’s worth a shot. Every time we get someone back after a 40 minute downtime and their pupils are fixed and dilated, it deflates me a bit. But sometimes the signs are more promising. I’ve even had a couple that return to full consciousness, obviously in hospital arrests.

@cranberrysauce61 7 месяцев назад

yeah, to my understanding, CPR isn't so much about resuscitating a person (great when it happens), but more of keeping the blood moving so hopefully residual oxygen in the blood supply can reach the brain holding off brain death before a defib machine gets there.

But a 10 or 20% success rate doesn't make something useless!!!!! He was just adding nuance not calling it useless 😭 but I guess out of context it can seem like his point is not to use it? If you're not really thinking about it..
