World Records Doctors Can't Explain Ep. 2 

I love it when Dr. Mike swears. It somehow adds to how articulate he is.

the over-producing lady is so sweet for donating all of her milk. what a way to make your disability work for you. that’s amazing. she’s very kind, especially in today’s age! it must be very painful for her either way and her choosing to donate milk and continue to do so is such a feat that i think most people wouldn’t be able to do. i hope she gets her condition under control or removed, because she deserves to rest after donating so much!!

The rest of Roy C. Sullivans story is really quite sad, he became paranoid and thought God wanted to killed him ,not a completely unjustified thought given all that happened to him (bonus fact his 7th lightning strike happened to also mark the 22nd time he fought a bear off with a stick) , he also always carried a canteen of water to put out the fire that inevitably would start on his head. It's also reported that people started shunning and avoiding him out of fear it was somehow contagious or dangerous to be around him. He reportedly took his own life at the age of 71 by gunshot, next to his wife, who allegedly did not notice for SEVERAL HOURS.

That girl that over lactates is really making the best of it by donating so much. She’s helping so many people

We appreciate Dr Mike's insights. They're straightforward and detailed from start to finish.

Mozzarella button here

Found out I could make myself burp when I was in primary school. They had to send me home because I wouldn’t stop.

as someone who has eds, it was really cool to see Dr. Mike talk abt it and even acknowledge how poorly a lot medical professionals address. it just feels nice to be recognized and have the struggle be heard

You know it’s bad when not even a doctor can explain it.

Thank you, thank you, thank you for talking about EDS again. It feels so good to hear a well respected doctor call out how poorly diagnosed it is. You are making a difference just by talking about it. Thank you Dr Mike.

When my eldest was only a year old, we were in the chemist waiting for a script and he did a burp so loud that the staff at the front of the store though someone was vomiting and came running with cleaning equipment. As a father it was my proudest moment so far.

7:11 Doctor Mike acknowledging patients lived experiences. That's how you know he's an awesome doctor.

Explain it then

"We always talk about on this channel, Ehlers-Danlos Syndrome is one of those conditions that doctors do a SHITTY job at diagnosing" one of my favorite things about Dr.Mike is how candid he is and it's awesome 😂💙

Sleep deprivation is the scariest thing to me. that someone would voluntarily try to delve into that world is so terrifying to me.

hearing about the legitimate risks from a doctor about EDS is such a breath of fresh air. my mom and i have EDS, with her having a very rare and specific subtybe (arthrochalasia or type VIIA-B) and there is a lot more to EDS than meets the eye.

as someone with EDS i love the amount that you talk about the condition. educating others about it is absolutely amazing and thank you for that!

Jim is inspiring. Mans 90 years old and moves better than some who arent even 1/3rd his. My mans got that down, well done.

5:38: she won't have any issues at the dentist

I have a severe Anaphylaxic reaction to capsaicin. I am Hispanic & grew up eating spicy foods but as I hit my mid to late 20's? It would hurt & give me severe acid reflux but not just any old pain & acid relux. It felt like my insides were melting & my esophagus was eroding away. I eventually just had to cut all peppers, things w/ any peppers in them, and I could only eat Bell Peppers. Fast forward a couple of years and I get hospitalized for complications again from my Behcet's Disease. I was in severe pain and it wad about a hour from my next pain pump dose. The nurses were so great & so caring. After not being able to get a hold of a doctor? They said they could try Capsaicin Cream. I told desperately them I would try anything. They warned me it would burn but it just kept getting hotter. Like a heating pad to a red hot iron feeling alllll over my abdomen. I kept thinking it must be normal & I'm just being a baby but it eventually got so bad that I couldn't hide the discomfort & start crying, ripping at my gown. I finally get it off to see most of my skin across my abdomen looked melted away, peeling back, and bleeding. Then my throat started get poofy & gunky. After a good barrage of IV meds? I was feeling okay enough to communicate w/ the doctor. I told him why I had to stop eating peppers (the horrific sulfuric acid burn from mouth alllllll the way through the other end. Leaving unable to move, curled over in pain. Plus, the acid reflux that would leave it hard to talk.) But that I COULD eat bell peppers. Bell peppers do not have Capsaicin in them. Well - a very long story, short? 😅 Listen to your body, it often knows more than you do. 😆👏😍💞

I have EDS and POTS, and both sides of my family have EDS and POTS. It took me SO LONG to get a diagnosis. It was really frustrating to spend years trying to find a solution to random medical things (have back surgery before 20 and having my xiphoid process removed because it didn't form properly, my sternum isn't fused togefher, etc) that were actually EDS all along. Thank you Dr. Mike for validating me!!!

As someone who really struggles with my EDS and chronic pain I always feel heard when you talk about it! It makes me feel a little less alone.

3:43 omg I've never heard him cuss lol 😂

Hearing dr Mike say “shitty” with that much spice startled me a little😂

are we all going to pretend like Doctor Mike didnt just say "shitty"

Does any one else absolutely adore Dr Mike? He is such an inspirational person. He makes learning fun! Love the vid

Thank you, Mike! It took 17 years to Dx my EDS after my onset of symptoms. It’s sucks. And I still get ignored a lot.

I have eds and it was Misdiagnosed do I actually do appreciate that you brought up that it is so easily brushed aside even from a doctors stand point!!

Title: Doctors can't explain this Dr. Mike: *explains everything*

You've done a detailed analysis of these unique world records. Your commentary on the medical aspects provides additional context, making it more informative. Good work.

It’s interesting how you mentioned EDS, my son has it and it was a long time before getting a diagnosis. Neurological and genetic studies had to be done before getting the correct diagnosis.

Thanks for your best showed, Dr. Mike. They are amazing that the world want to watch.

Okay but the sounds of that lady eating mozzarella ..made me nauseous too 😭

It's always wild to me what the human body can be capable of in general

4:02 lol literally the most common response I've had from most doctors from some crazy physiological issues.

1:57 Mike: *explains* Me: *dying of laughter from that scene with him*

I have hyper lactation syndrome, it sucked but it was amazing at the same time. I donated to so many moms in need and that alone spurred me on to keep going for as long as I did. It took me 8 months to fully stop my production and 2 infections but I was able to successfully stop.

I would love to see doctor Mike review some of the unexplained medical mysteries like spontaneous combustion and the case off Gloria Ramirez or the toxic woman.

"Have good day ❤😍🌹"

I would absolutely love to hear more about the other endocrine issues due to hyperlactation syndrome! This is the first I’m hearing about other issues due to high prolactin.

as someone previously diagnosed with a prolactinoma, thank you for mentioning that breast milk production can happen to any woman regardless of whether they've been pregnant. Not enough people know this because it's so rare

What i'm learning is, there's a Guinness Record for literally anything lol.

Thank you for discussing ehlers danlos syndrome and how problematic diagnosis can be. I ha have hEDS possibly classical as well. I’ve had atrocious treatment from doctors who just don’t understand it or know anything about it. Majority of doctors that know what it is and are so kind and understanding have been junior drs as there’s more awareness about it.

I like how Dr.Mike goes to Doctor Mode at the right times and, Normal Guy Mode at the right time too!

These clips are so unhinged 👀🥲 but its a delight to watch Dr Mike explaining them with such solemnity

I just wanna say thank you for recognizing that a lot of doctors don’t do a good job at diagnosing it because as someone who has dealt with chronic pain for most of there life and has only recently been diagnosed I think there needs to be more awareness of this condition. There are times that I have felt like I was just never going to figure out was going on but a couple years ago I got a doctor that actually cared and listened and was able to diagnose me and I am forever grateful for that. I now feel like I can live my life and do most of the things I want.

for the lactation thing, isnt it also a huge strain on the body to digest the extra calories needed to produce all that milk?

I've had a double mastectomy, recovery was uncomfortable but didn't even experience any pain. I hope she can get treatment if she wants it.

I was diagnosed with hEDS (EDS runs in the family) but then saw another doctor and he said "Well I don't know much about hEDS, maybe you're just a bit flexible?" (his words). So glad to hear some shoutout on EDS.

Another fun video as always! I'm surprised though that you never seem to talk about weather-related injuries - maybe a video reacting to injuries caused by extreme weather (can be found on lots of storm chasing documentaries and meteorological broadcasts) would be a) different and b) timely considering the winter is when more people are injured due to extreme weather than any other time of the year.

I broke my arm yesterday (horse riding accident) and your videos really cheer me up Doctor Mike, Thankyou :)

For a bit of insight for the lactation lady, in the UK for small amounts of lactation caused by high levels of prolactin (when they cant diagnose a prolactinoma) they sometimes use a medicine called cabergoline

Seeing the woman who was pumping breast milk in her car reminds me of a funny story. My niece was driving from Minnesota to Michigan with her 4 month old daughter. She was pumping breast milk as she was driving. A cop pulled her over thinking she was using her phone and she had to show him what she was doing. He told her that he would follow her to the next rest stop so she could pump with out having to drive and he would stay with her until she was done so, she would be safe. He stayed with her until she was done pumping and feeding her daughter. He was so kind to her.

Love this video. Low key wanna see dr mike react to nhl injuries. My brother does hockey and it always is so scary when someone gets hurt.

@Doctor Mike I have Ehlers danlos syndrome. I have Classical tied in with Hypermobility. It took dr years to figure out what was wrong with me. I had Doctors tell me I was just beyond their expertise cause they can't find anything wrong to explain my pain. Then finally back in 2016 my neurologist noticed my double joints and stretchy skin and finally I got a diagnosis.

Thank you for talking about EDS! Everyone in the community appreciates it, I'm sure. I've been diagnosed since 2014. Always feels good to hear the condition talked about.

I don't think I've ever heard Doctor Mike swear before! I like it.

ohhh, Dr. Mike and Gerry Scotty is the team the world need, is so weird hear my language in your video, i think is the first time xD

The enjoyment of watching this is Dr. Mikes reactions.

That mozzarella needs some kind of trigger warning LOL

9:56 "one of the most important things when you're in the middle of a thunder or lightning storm, is to" *commercial*

Love ur videos man,keep it up

You should totally react to some of the injuries from Deadliest Catch. I would love to get your perspective on it

The elderly man who still works out, bless him. That it amazing.

I’m so glad Dr. Mike exists, I have EIB and my doctor never mentioned that I could use my inhaler BEFORE I work out. They just told me to keep it on me at all times and use it if my breathing starts getting difficult, but it always makes me nervous to wait for the dosing when it’s so consistent in flaring during exercise. Definitely a conversation I’m going to have with my provider to see if dosing before would be a good option for me!

I had to replay it when you were talking about EDS, not only because I completely agree, it's a hard condition to manage, my dad and my sibling both have it and it causes such an amount of pain, but also because I was thrown off by you swearing lol

Had a lil bit of a breakdown in march 2020 and didn’t sleep for a record 18 days. I was a zombie, hallucinating, experiencing micro sleep out of necessity but having nightmares within the micro sleep, no depth perception, incredibly mentally disorganized. Unfortunately was having a bit of a psychotic break but was too afraid to seek help due to Covid. My poor psychiatrist was desperately trying to convince me to come inpatient but I knew exactly what to say to avoid a mandatory inpatient visit. Looking back I’m surprised I survived that ordeal. Broke the insomnia with a heavy dose of mirtzapine and have been okay since! Definitely get very anxious during times of minor insomnia tho.

Oh that poor woman that can’t stop lactating! I don’t know if I would want to live with that illness. I pumped so much for my twins that I gave up breastfeeding entirely for my 3rd because of the pain. That is a disability, I hope she’s being compensated well for it. It’s great for all the mothers getting her donated milk but wow I really feel for her.

3:54 does Dr. Mike ever cuss?

i love this dr mike keep up the good work

I was diagnosed with elevated prolactin levels when I was 27, a few weeks after my first pregnancy, which was also ectopic. No prior family history of this and had an MRI done to check for cancer in my pituitary gland - Negative. Was RX’d cabergoline and it did lower the prolactin level, but after I was weened off, the level would go back up. This was done a few times over the years with doc’s order. It’s been 4yrs, and I’m scheduled to see the Endocrinologist.

I'm really grateful for this channel. I've learned so much over the years.

2:44 The Assessor is so stoic, it's great.

Omg Mike I knew you were not joking about being nauseous with that one video bc I was literally holding back starting to gag from immediate nausea too

Starting to use alburteral pre-cardio was life changing. I was finally able to take up running at twenty-five 😁 Love my primary

Thank you Dr. Mike for taking time out of your day (and bears) to teach us about what can be good and bad for physical, and mental health. Just putting it out there that we appreciate you for everything you do. Thank you!

As someone with EDS, I can confirm that it took decades to finally get diagnosed and figure out what the heck was going on…

@06:40 god bless her though for donating, i regret only getting 6weeks for my baby. made me so sad. her making this much is incredible

doctor mike always makes learning more intersting and fun at the same time

I've been suspected to have exercise/stress induced asthma (I've never been officially diagnosed, but have had plenty of asthma symptoms while exercising or during anxiety attacks), and my parents put me in martial arts from a young age. I think it did me good, in spite of the attacks. I don't do martial arts anymore but it was a useful experience.

the bentist just appearing was hilarious

The guy at 3:20 has the same genetic condition I do. It’s called Hypohidrotic Ectodermal Dysplasia and the reason why he (and I) can do this trick is because we either have no teeth altogether or are missing some teeth. Our teeth are also misshapen and a lot of times people don’t have any adult teeth. It also affects the hair (both amount and texture), skin, nails, and a lack of sweat glands meaning we overheat really easily.

As a hEDS survivor and thriver I appreciate that you talk about EDS celiac diagnosed @30 PCOS, and anemia @ 32 hEDS, MCAS, Vasovagal syncope @ 36 Narcolepsy with cataplexy, Periodical limb movement syndrome, @ 40 (Also discovered that i was a victim of EXTREAM abuse and neglect leading to more tests) ASD, ADHD, CPTSD, MDD, accute anxiety disorder with panic disorder, social anxiety disorder with agoraphobia, bullous pemphigoid, Hashimoto's, hyperacusis, partial deviatedseptum, missing PCOM @ 41 I'm now 42 and have been fighting for a williams syndrome genetic test scheduled for April at the age of 43. All it took was a Dr. Who listened. ❤bless you sir! 🙏

Hi Dr. Mike, been a supporter for a while now and I just wanna say that your contents have been so educating and helpful. I actually aced my biology exam last year because of something i heard u say on one of ur vids, so props to you and keep creating contents like this and educate people like me to think like doctors.

I’ve got metal plates and screw in my TMJ joints plus in C5-C6, lower back and R hip! Going to have to have it in my L hip and knee pain💖💕

Such wonderful people in this wonderful world where anything is possible, good or bad

Thank you for explaining EIB! I was recently told that I probably have it and am going through the process of getting diagnosed so I can have an inhaler to use (everything else has been ruled out). I commented on one of your other videos about my journey and how my difficulties have affected my relationship with physical activity throughout my life, and other people commented that I "made it up" or was "making excuses". I still work out, but it's been really frustrating not seeing any improvement in my cardio endurance because my chest gets really tight and I start to feel awful, and only feel better by slowing down or taking a short break.

One of your last points. I had some breathing/asthma issues as a child. Instead stopping me doing things, because both parents are runners, they made me do the 5-10 minute run to school

So glad EDS was mentioned! I have the disease and its definitely hard to live with. You should do a video on EDS to help spread awareness. Very misunderstood condition.

Dr. Mike would be fun person to hang out with.

I just love how they explain everything to us so we can understand them , and they make it fun so we don't get bored or distracted ( which happens to me very often) plus they are having fun to which is amazing. So thank you! You're amazing guys!

Mike, you absolutely should try the record! You got nauseous watching someone else eat it,I would like to see how you react eating it yourself.😊

2:35 :That mozzarella thing made you nauseous………bruh, I just ate dinner!

DR Mike I love your vids and I saw your cpr training thing at the airport

"I don't think there's much medical risk there." And that's what he said before he choked to death on a mouthful of mozzarella, officer.

We need a Bentist collab!!

Hey doc - I slipped on the ice the other day and have gotten a concussion - might even have a bit of whiplash.. Yes - this is more than 48 hours ago; and I have gotten a lot of rest - and I am still resting. I’d love it if you could make a video on concussions, why to avoid screens and how to “get back to normal”?

I absolutely love your videos

I used to watch this channel bc my friends liked dr.mike but I’m so engaged now and I love that I always learn something new.

Its the random records like the drink cans that make me question peoples mental health and what was going through their mind when they thought of it....and then Guinness world records giving them a platform to encourage these, sometimes dangerous, records. Still crazy what the body can do though. Definitely a thumbs up from me for dr mike trying to beat the mozzarella record
