As someone who has also "broken their ass", I can confirm it is extremely painful. They checked me out and gave me a prescription for pain meds. I was a kid, and I remember lying on my stomach all day while it healed because it hurt less. 30 years later and I'm still climbing on stuff I shouldn't.
I bounced down an angled slate cliff, which was worn smooth like a slide. Broke my coccyx. No jeans or trousers with a tight seam at the back. It meant lots of codine and only very loose trousers for over a year. Plus a rubber ring so I could actually sit down. It healed fully after a year and a half, but the bone is still a bit sensitive four years later. You’re always conscious of it and it can be every bit as annoying as toothache at times. Definitely a bit more than a little inconvenience. 😅
@@RosinaEmilyW Oh yeah. Missed a lot of school. And I developed arthritis in the area in my 20s. I get flare ups several times a year, and it gets worse as I get older.
Hell, even just bruising your coccyx hurts for months!
my best friend has done so multiple times now I think. She can also confirm. 0/10 she does not recommend. :P
Never broke anything in my ass but I've had a lot of anul fissures
6:04 This video by Ice Cream Sandwich is very cut- in the full video, Andy describes how he threw up twice before deciding to leave the workshops early. He then walked all the way home because he had no vehicle, and during that walk his abdominal pain worsened dramatically and he nearly vomited again (his sheer willpower and not wanting to barf in front of a random car stopped him) as well as almost blacking out. He finally made it home and went to bed, passing out almost immediately. A couple hours after *that* is when his roommate and his girlfriend got concerned and made Andy get his ahh to the ER.
Second this ! They left out the important part in between him having his bowel movement and his roommate calling his then gf about what was going on which would've answered Mike's concerns about whether or not it really was appendicitis
So happy to see a fellow ice cream sandwich viewer, also thanks for pointing this out! His full vid definitely has more information that Dr Mike left out.
A while ago my mom started having chest pain. She went to the doctor and they gave her pain meds and told her it was probably nothing. They wouldn’t do much for her. She was still in pain for days and days. She kept telling him she could feel something in her chest. When she ran out of meds and wasn’t getting better she went back, the doctor refused to help her. Told her she wasn’t giving her anymore pain medication. Thinking my mom was making it up. She was so rude. My mom finally went to a different er and they took her in immediately. When they looked at her lungs, she had blood clots in them!!!!!!!!!!!!! She was lucky to be alive. Still makes me furious to this day.
I would be furious as well. Hope you filed a complaint about that doctor

I just met Dr. Mike at a convention in Chicago this last weekend. He is just as genuine in person as he is in his videos! Meeting him was completely unexpected and I was fully star struck when shaking his hand! I cannot believe he became a doctor at age 24. A remarkable individual here to change the world for the better ❤ thank you Dr. Mike for all you do!!
Having fractured my coccyx, I can attest to how painful it is. I was thirteen, took a hard fall on a hardwood floor in gym class, and my teacher kept downplaying it, saying I was fine, I was just being dramatic... I couldn't sit down straight, could hardly walk, I was screaming in agony. She still *refused* to believe anything was wrong. Went to the doctor, sure enough, it was fractured, almost to the point of it coming apart. My parents were *furious*, and rightly so! I had to sit on a rubber inflatable donut, which I was teased relentlessly for and actually had another student unscrew the air valve so it went flat on me during class 🙄 That same teacher tried to fail me because I had to take a couple weeks off from gym to recover and then go back to just light exercise. It healed, but I still have back pain to this day, and it ruined my ability to play soccer, a sport I *love*. Anywho, thank you for the video, Doctor Mike! Hugs and love from California!
If the injury had occurred outside you could have just rubbed some dirt on it and it would have been fine.
I broke my coccyx and sacrum and L4 & L5 from a 20 foot fall onto the metal deck of a boat… most painful thing I’ve ever experienced… and I’ve stood on Lego!
@@robo5013 Why don’t more moronic gym teachers recommend that miracle fix? 😏
I suffered a really terrible sprain some years ago and if I didn't want to get kicked out of my college quarter (and lose all that tuition money of course) I had to continue to attend class in person, including having to walk and drive on it as well as not being able to elevate it while in class. 20 years later and it's full of scar tissue and bone spurs because I simply wasn't permitted to take care of it properly. So I know all about schools not giving a damn about medical needs.
I almost certainly broke mine about 10 years ago when I fell down the bare wood stairs and landed directly on my tailbone. I didn't get it checked so I can't be absolutely sure I broke it, but it was excruciating for months, and I built a chair out of a chair frame and a toilet seat to use when I was working. Even a donut pillow wasn't enough to keep the pressure off it. It still pops if I tense my butt.
Mike is the only online doctor I have watched and has not turned out to be a criminal Edit - omg time for me to right " ma I am famous"
medlife crisis too

iJustine's story got to me because my sister has May Thurner syndrome. She was diagnosed at 16 years old because a couple weeks after we'd returned home from a trip which involved a few long-haul flights she was having pain, swelling, and redness in her leg. She went to emergency with our Mum and they discovered a METRE LONG BLOOD CLOT starting in her groin and going down her leg. She had two intense surgeries in which she has a filter placed, the clot dissolved and removed, and a stent put in her vein. It was a horrible experience for her (both the medical emergency, and the surgeries themselves in which she was not taken care of the way she should've been which unfortunately leaded to her developing a pulmonary embolism) and left her with bad medical PTSD. She's 23 now and has since had *another* metre long blood clot (this time in the other leg) after a very, very bad experience with a 'specialist' who majorly fucked up and put her life at risk, leading to the placement of a stent in her other leg. And has had some partial blockages which were resolved more easily, as well as two more stents which were put in place to essentially reinforce the other two, leaving her with a total of four. She's so resilient and brave and I couldn't be more proud of my little sister. I'm really glad Justine was able to get the help she needed.
wow two blood clots that are meter long each? your sister is a very strong woman
@@randyx3976Thank you for saying so, and I agree wholeheartedly! Unfortunately, the second clot came about as the result of the ego of a specialist that replaced her original one when he moved. My sister went in for a routine check-up, which was her first appointment with the new doctor, and he told her that she was young and that he didn't see 'any reason' why she would develop a clot, and told her not to continue taking her blood-thinners... Within a few months she had developed the second huge clot. My mum and sister developed enough evidence to suggest that her doctor either only skimmed her medical file, or possibly did not read it at all. This is why he said what he said and took her off her medication. We recently found out that the hospital decided not to renew his contract with them after several complaints from other patients and their families, as well as other doctors and nurses who had worked with him. So even though his malpractice led to my sister developing the second life-threatening clot, the silver lining is that her complaint contributed to his being let go.
First let me hasten to say that I very much admire DoctorMike & wish he was my doctor. And iJustine is an excellent YT’er. That said, what you describe with the case of your sister is just an all too common tale of “Western Medicine” and its referrals to “specialists” (let’s always spell that with quotes). As a family doctor, Mike’s a generalist, so he tends to be big-picture oriented. He even mentions the very significant risk of pulmonary embolism in patients prone to these large/long clots. Whereas, a surgeon (some of whom famously have God complexes) might want to go in to try to get it out ASAP. Thanks for sharing your sister’s scary story with us. 😉
so your telling me that she had 2 3 foot long blood clots in her life?
I hope she is doing better now sorry Justine That feels painful just one of mg classmates dying of brain damage😢
As a horseback rider, I can tell you anyone who rides will stress the importance of only having your toe in the stirrup so it’s easy to slide out so you don’t injure your leg. Even worse, when being dragged by a horse it can step on your or you could get a concussion… Horseback riding equipment is made with the expectation you will fall.
As a horseback rider as well, I can also attest that proper riding form is toe in stirrup! The expectation when riding on ANY horse, is that you will eventually get thrown off of one or fall off. Thankfully safety equipment and proper teachings help reduce serious injuries
Only your toe, the proper boots and heels down! HEELS DOWN!!!! 😮
@@sunnyscott4876 I hear “PUT YOUR DAMN HEELS DOWN” in my dreams istg
And footwear without heels = strictly forbidden, for a reason. I cant count how many times that small heel has saved my bacon. You dont need brandname products or gear made for riders, especially if youre just starting, any boot or shoe with some heel will do. No sneakers!
@mygerbilprince9759 Yessss exactly right ✅️. 😊😊🤯🤯😊😊
Dr. Mike, have you reacted already to the incident where that hockey player got his throat slashed? Would be awesome, educational and cool to watch you react to it. You could invite a hockey player to talk about rules and stuff too or something
This man is the only reason I am SLIGHTLY interested in the medical field. Keep up the great work dr Mike!
Same! He makes it so interesting to things I wouldn't find interesting at all in a generic textbook. Hope he continues being epic
He’s the reason I’m so happy I didn’t choose to go into the medical field. Every time he explains something my anxiety just shoots of the roof. I would be so scared to even move if I was a doctor. Would not be alive or mentally well for long.
This man is the only reason I am SLIGHTLY interested in the medical field. Keep up the great work dr Mike!
I got interested in medicine from watching House when I was younger back when it was still running.
@@werdwerdus I loved that show, and it’s genius anti-hero.
I’d love to see Dr Mike do a deep dive with Jeff Wittek into his life changing injuries on the podcast!! As someone who has also suffered a life altering head injury I’d love to hear Dr Mikes opinions on Jeff’s treatments and subsequent depression 🖤
I'd really like that too because it's actually a very complex situation. The head trauma isn't visible but I'd love to see him analyze it. And also Jeff is just an awesome dude and he deserves to learn more about the situation
I'm glad iJustine shared her story and survived. Also its good she had a kind sister who helped her when she was dealing with this. So many people don't have loving family or friends to help then in such situtions. Much love and support for both of them for how they handled such a difficult situation very well.

I am a ballerina with thoracic outlet syndrome! I am on anti-inflammatories at the moment to reduce the risk of a clot and to help with pain. The doctors did discuss shaving down my first rib if it becomes too problematic but we are trying to be as non-invasive as possible and I am managing it well! Hi from Australia btw!
I'm a ballerina too! You are incredible!!
The same thing happened to me! The only difference is that I don't take medication for my T.O.S. since it's not to that degree. The discussion about shaving down my rib was only if I can't do my job in the future. Funny how the same thing can be treated differently.
@@violetnorwen8491thank you all the best ❤

Fun fact, if you have all the symptoms of appendicitis and then all of a sudden your right lower quadrant pain goes away or suddenly becomes much less severe, you need to het to the hospital asap. When the appendix ruptures, it can relieve the pressure from being inflammed and enlarged, leading to a short period of relief from the pain. It can trick you into thinking you're getting bettter, when in fact things just got much worse. I watched this happen to a kid in my school clinic years ago and had to call an ambulance instead of waiting for his dad to pick him up to take him to the ER. His appendix had ruptured right in front of me, and he jumped up wanting to go back to class because the pain had suddenly subsided. He made a full recovery luckily,but spent much more time in the hospital because of the rupture and subsequent infection
I love how Dr Mike lets the people he is reacting to talk while also contributing solid oppinions

I was rushed to the hospital once with what we were sure was appendicitis. Turned out to be an ectopic pregnancy. So scary.
In the fifth grade, my best friend fell off a platform in the playground, and he was laying on the ground and told me he was fine. I told him to lift his head up so I could see. It was about a 2 inch cut, and I immediately knew he needed to go get stitches. After I ripped my jacket off of my waist and used it to soak up some of the blood, he ended up needing 14 stitches.
Dang
As an equestrian, having your foot stuck in the stirrup is extremely dangerous. You have a chance of getting stepped on because the horse expects you to fall not to still be there. Also, you should do a video on horseback riding injuries ❤😊
he's teaching us in the most fun way possible!love this man!
My second daughter was an emergency forceps delivery. I'd been on bedrest for over a month already w PIH and was developing preeclampsia. The delivery fractured my coccyx. Fourteen years later and it hasn't healed, and likely never will. I love reminding her about she'll always be a pain in my ass, and she's absolutely worth the pain. Also, was a teaching hospital. About 25 OB/GYN residents, ~10 peds residents, plus the NICU staff with their crash cart, my L&D Nurses, my OB, adult crash cart, etc... It wasn't a huge hospital room either. Forceps aren't terribly common so makes sense. When they finally left our room it looked like a damn clown car emptying out.
I have just finished watching a video showing injured children in a hospital in Gasa. And to be honest, though I am a doctor who is, perhaps, supposed to be stronger, I couldn't finish the video for the 1st time. The injuries were so brutal and heart touching. I wonder what would be the future of those children. I couldn't express myself well since English is my 4th language. But my message is destined to my colleague, Dr Mike, and doctors understand each other!
The wanting to continue part after sustaining an injury in athletics takes me back, when I was a teenager I broke my wrist playing basketball and just got back up and kept playing since I didn't feel any pain. Let me tell you I felt it when I caught the next pass and made the injury 10x worse.
I have gone through TWO episodes of DVT/PE, in 2007 and early 2009. The first one started with calf pain right after a Sunday ride on my dirtbike, (my first ride in 14 years) and I did not recognize it for what it was. The following Sunday I felt an odd sensation, like a "Hiccup/burp combo" in the center of my chest. It happened twice, about 30 seconds apart. The following Thursday the pain in my calf spiked, and I finally went to the ER. That's when I found out what had happened.. When I told the doc about the sensation on the previous Sunday, he literally dropped my chart in shock and said "Why didn't you call 911 when that happened?" He asked if I had heard of The Widowmaker (I replied yes, my dad passed due that in 1999.) He explained that what I felt was a piece of the clot jamming my heart valves, TWICE. I am one of the 1.2% who survived such a thing. In 2009 shortly after getting off Warfarin, my leg started hurting again, so back to the ER, found THREE blockages in my leg, and a cat scan (which the doc had originally not ordered) revealed ANOTHER episode of PE. I am now on Warfarin for the rest of my life, as they were not able to draw for the tests to figure out why I clotted in the first place. As of today, still stable on Warfarin and I still ride motocross.
I pay more attention to Dr. Mike's videos than I do to my biology teacher...
The way my heart sank into my gut when I saw David’s face. Poor Jeff, I’m so glad he’s doing okay now!
I love watching Dr. Mike talk about medical things! He is sooo informed and knowledgeable. Any patient that has him as a PCP is so fortunate.
I had the worst abdominal cramps when I had appendicitis, no other symptom. No vomiting, no fever, and the typical pressure sign was not definitive. Doctor decided to take it out either way. It was inflamed and full of pus. If my sister hadn't had a burst appendix the year before, they wouldn't have operated on me. But as they were cautious (she did not have typical symptoms either), they said 'better safe than sorry' and I said goodbye to my appendix.
Sounds like a scary close call; glad it worked out for you and your sister.
Well it sounds like your doctor did a good job.
I have TOS & my thoracic surgeon told me that due to the huge line of people needing treatment in BC, they can't do anything until I lost circulation in my arms at rest and told me if one of my arms ever swells up, that I am to go immediately to the ER and tell them I have a DVT. Interestingly, my MRI showed that my TOS is in both vein and artery on both sides of my body, and when at rest both vein and artery have a small dip in them - much like if you bent a straw and then straightened it out - there would be a divot. He said I was likely born with this or I slept with my arms up a lot when I was a kid.
I appreciate that you always add the images and animations of body parts that are discussed. They are of very good quality and very helpful.
Had a bilateral pulmonary embolism in 2019. They told me if I'd gone back to sleep instead of calling an ambulance, I'd never have woken up again. The clot, they say, stretched all the way from my ankle to my thigh. I'll be on Xarelto for life.
I'm glad to be watching these videos, they are very informative. I really enjoy watching and hearing Dr. Mike explain a lot of things having to do with health
I had the most mild pain in my lower right quadrant and my mom made me go to the ER thinking I had apendicidis. I was so embarrassed bc I was 100% convinced it was gas pain and it turned out I had ovarian torsion and needed emergency surgery lmao.
Lost one of my oldest & dearest friends to a blood clot going into her lungs, at the age of 34, after an outpatient day surgery. She passed away at home in her own bed, we never had a chance to say goodbye. ALWAYS tell your people that you love them, never EVER wait. 💕💕
In relation to the Pewds one, I once accidentally slammed the top part of my rear on the very pointed corner of a shoe cubby. I was trying to crouch down to fill up my dogs water, didn't realize how far back my body was, and oh my god That corner hit me right at the top of my crack--right against the coccyx If you have _never_ gotten hurt there, thank god or whatever deities you want for that. Because I have literally broken my bones SEVERAL TIMES, and not even that was as painful as hurting that teeny tiny bone. As far as I am aware, I'm fairly certain I hadn't hit it hard enough to fracture anything, and I've been fine in relation to that area to that day, but dear god it was so painful. At most bruised, or akin to have slammed a car door on your finger. I remember just slowly standing back up, in so much pain not I couldn't even physically show my reaction on face aside from abject horror/shock, and I very stiffly walked back over to the main couch, and very slowly sat down, mostly because I wanted to check and was not at all sure if I was going to struggle with sitting. I did. Ice packs were a constant, and I swear the pain took a full month to actually dissipate. If only I had known about the donut seat during that time...
This whole video could've honestly been about Markiplier, and I would've loved it 😂😂 he's hurt himself so many times.
Omg ikr
I would love to hear Dr Mike respond to a Distractible story, like the animated version of the parkour story
@bryannab2703 that would be awesome
I put a hole in my head from a marble counter top after a shower and let me say, the scalp bleeds a lot 😂
Another home run. I swear I learn something new from every post Dr Mike does. He entertains and educates all at the same time all the while giving his critique. I only discovered this channel a few months ago but am so glad I did. Keep up with the posts Dr Mike you are providing a very valuable service. 👏👏👏
A kid in my family had me watch one of his videos one night a couple years ago and I'll be forever grateful they made me watch his video🤣It's the only tv I watch
Dr Mike, please make a video on the horrific situation that happened recently in hockey where a player died. A breakdown of what happened and why it was so lethal along with how someone at the scene should try to help. Is it even possible with that bad an injury to save someone? It would also be good to have a trusted source weigh in on neck guards and if they truly help. Thank you for your great content and your time. -Coen
That second video reminds me of why my stirrups are made to slide off the saddle if there is any drag. Also, helmets. In general. I'm so glad he's still alive and able to walk.
Your videos are always so entertaining and so educational at the same time. Been following this channel since 2019. Keep up the good work 🎉
Love these segments! I learn so much.
I really feel like I shouldn’t watch theses videos with my fairly bad anxiety about my health but I can’t stop myself cause dr mike explains stuff so well and that does help
Love the explanations!
I have such bad anxiety and watching these videos doesn't help at all, I always get nervous, but I love Doctor Mike's videos too much 😅
Dr. Mike, I would like to see you make a video about people who are basically immune to local anesthetics. I am one of the few who can't be numbed it has been a problem my whole life. Botox also has no effect on me for some reason. I have had large doses of botox injected into my legs as an attempt to treat clonus, but it hasn't worked at all. They even put a little in my face to see if I was immune to it, and the botox didn't paralyze any of my forehead muscles either.
5:25 ICE CREAM SANDWICH!!! I love his videos :)
You should do a podcast interview with Jeff. I think it would be good to hear the medical side of things.
My shoulders naturally sit rolled forward a bit, and when I'm doing squats or anything with my arms out straight at chest height or higher my fingertips start to go numb like there is a blood constriction, ive always been a but worried. This last story is providing a whole lot of clarity as to why. *Edit watched 20 more seconds of video and now i also know to watch out for the same kind of blood clot issue in the future
I love how Doctor Mike explains things. He is so thorough and to the point, and I feel like I am getting smarter just by watching him.
I get it, I understand. I also live with kyphoscoliotic Ehlers Danlos Syndrome (98th in the world diagnosed). My body however does not allow me to run. Had I argued I would be permanently in a wheelchair. It is very important to get a proper diagnosis and not just go off of feelings.
I have Lupus and several years ago I started having severe chest pain after a bad case of bronchitis. After it got to the point where I had to scream just to lay down or sit up, I finally went to the ER. (I know I should have gone MUCH sooner!) They did a CT scan and it turned out that both lungs were full of blood clots. The doctor said he didn't know how I was able to walk and talk at all. I was treated with aggressive blood thinners while being in the hospital for about a week. I still have to take a medication called Warfarin (generic Coumadin), which is another blood thinner, every day. Thank goodness, I have fully recovered with no lasting damage. The doctors have said it's a miracle. That was some of the WORST pain I've ever had in my life. While I wish I didn't have to take the medication, I would much rather do that than go through that again, it was terrifying. I'm glad the lady with the clot is ok!
6:45 when I had, what doctors thought to be appendicitis, they did not scan or do anything at all to confirm, they just put me in surgery and removed my appendix… They removed a perfectly healthy appendix and my intense stomach pain persisted.
I love the reactions to injuries. Make more please!
The story about appendicitis really struck home for me. When I was 10 years old, I had my appendix removed. I had the pain, but I never had any fever or nausea. The first thing I remembered was sitting in school and getting a severe stabbing pain in my lower right side. I started crying and when the teacher asked what the problem was, the pain was so severe I could barely speak, and when he said I may be dismissed, I collapsed in class and had to get support to walk to the office. Before I woke up post-surgery, the surgeon informed my dad of the situation and said that my appendix was so swollen that it had wrapped around my ribs, and could only speculate that had I waited less than a day later, it would have burst
I aspirated vomit once and can vouch for the fact that the recovery is uncomfortable
I have a hiatal hernia (basically a pocket that semi-digested food van get trapped in) and if I eat too much too close to when I go to bed, I'll wake up after almost exactly an hour (when all my muscles relax in sleep and the trapped food can be released) coughing and choking on food and bile. THANKFULLY I'm on multiple meds that are managing that, and I'm fairly careful about spacing my meals before sleep, so it happens rarely now. But it used to be once or twice a week, and I kept getting upper respiratory infections because of it. It fuckin SUCKS. Stomach acid in your lungs hurts. Coughing stomach acid out of your lungs and into your throat and mouth also hurts. It also tastes AWFUL. 0/10 fo NOT recommend
@@zekenelsons2069 Sorry to hear that, I was quite fortunate (in a weird way) in that I aspirated vomit during a seizure so I didn’t actually experience it first hand but came around in ICU a couple days later and just remember the pain/discomfort of the damage it did.
Pure scientific conclusion: This video proves again, why men live shorter.
I finally know why my elbow pops when I do push-ups. Your videos are very informative
Just wanted to pipe in that I appreciate the tidbit about "urgent care" being a level of care between primary care and emergency room. My PCP is AFC Urgent care and they take walk-ins as well as scheduled appointments. So drastically different time-wise with seeing a specialist.

Honestly I could watch your videos all day the presentation the professionalism and knowledge it’s just awesome honestly and your hair is on point 🙌
I broke my tailbone and basically got told to "walk it off" alongside pain meds. Was not a pleasant time.
Doctor mike never seems to age😂love doctor mike❤
Perfect timing for an upload, I was just about to go to bed and I like to fall asleep to your videos haha
I was 21 when I developed a DVT and ended up with multiple PE. I have a family history of both with my father. Birth control was a contributing factor but not enough to explain why I developed a DVT. I was a very healthy young woman and I had to fight a little to be seen by my family doctor who took one look at me and my symptoms and told my mother to take me to the hospital because he believed I had a blood clot. I should have never been prescribed the birth control but the doctor who gave me the prescription was not my family doctor and failed to do a family history. I have been on blood thinners since then and not had any repeated incidents while my father has had an additional DVT. There has been talk of getting me off the blood thinners, but I have not seen a specialist for the proper testing to see if they can find the factor now.
Hi doctor Mike I love your videos and they teach me so much! Hope you have a good day!
I learn a lot with these videos bc Dr Mike explains everything with such a simplicity that is easy to understand, I always wanted to be a doctor but I dropped out 10 years ago
I’ve worked as ancillary staff in IR suites before, and it truly is amazing what they’re capable of doing using guide wires and catheters through arteries and veins. It sounds weird but is such a powerful tool for treating vascular illness and issues.
I think it would be interesting if doctor mike were to go more in-depth into Jeff’s accident bc of how traumatic it was for him and how he was able to come to terms with what happened
i would love to see you react to the entire Jeff story now that he has talked more about the specifics publicly, including the many surgeries subsequently and the longer term issues associated with his injuries
Can somebody explain to me what is the difference between trauma and pain? I hear Mike say it a lot, but I am confused. Keep up the good work.
Pain is a sensation, and trauma refers to the actual damage that causes pain.
I NEED to see Jeff Wittek and Dr.Mike collab their both my favorite KZheadrs 🤧❤
I love it when you actually explain everything rather than skipping stuff sometimes.
5:45 i thought you said f**k that I was so shocked for a sec lmaoo
I don't understand how doctors remember all those random terms
Same! I've studied so much about medicine. Read almost all of the medical books at the library. I couldn't remember the smaller parts of anatomy or the tricky words. My brain seems to have chosen remember the more important stuff.
Hi Mike, My name’s Leo and I come from Sweden. I just wanted to say that my 12 year old cat died last Friday because of cancer and your videos really cheer me up, keep it up, much love!!❤
I’m so sorry for your loss! I bet they had the best life a cat could ask for❤️
Mike is really my inspiration for working enthusiastically ❤
Always educational 👍great doc😜
Been there and done that with the dvt's and pulmonary embolisms. Not fun at all. When the clot travels through your heart, it feels like it stops beating. I'm now classed as high risk, and have to take blood thinners for the rest of my life. Very scary.
9:55 “i wanna know what the.. ass crack is”☠️☠️
Mike always post the best videos shout out to him ❤🎉
Like always, I loved the reactions. I suggest volleyball injury reactions.
Love the channel! Honest question.....do you look information up during cuts or are you like Dr. House and just know all this information off the top of your head. I'm amazed at your ability to recall all this knowledge!
I think he gets with his editing team and stuff to put information in these videos. I think I remember one youtube video he said it's great to react to some of these, because it helps him recall information.
10:10 one time while casually fighting with my dad I feel on the corner or a chair and hit my tailbone. I was in tremendous pain and could not sit up for more than a week. I told my parents but they didn't believe me and didn't take me to a doctor. I still get teary eyed when I think about that
Ayy great vid! Would love a video where you react to Smosh's Flashback ep about their injuries. Would be a banger vid I'm sure ❤
Great video Mikee
8:56 That's funny that Pewds and Markiplier both have broken their ass before lol
Thank you docotor mike you inspired me to go to medical school and to become a medical lab technician
can we gets more sports reviews please they are the most educational as it also help athletes' understand their own body and limits ! love you bro
On the train watching my favorite doctor. So many interesting people. ❤
Great video as always. I am disappointed though that Kentucky Ballistics didn't make the list. What happened to him and the fact that he survived is absolutely insane and should definitely be in the next video, or maybe even get it's own video altogether if you decide to cover more KZheadr injuries.
I was actually trying to find that. I might have a fake memory of it but I thought there was a thumbnail of KB and his Barret blowing apart.
Hey Doctor Mike! I love watching your videos, and I have been wondering if you can do a video of reacting to hockey injuries. Thank you and have a great day.
Anything hockey would be awesome:) Good idea
The first guy looks like if he takes off his glasses they come off with his nose
Blood clots are no joke. I've almost died twice from them. Genetic things causing me more likely to clot. Now I'm on blood thinners for live to try not to go a third round.
