10:28 Did Dr Mike just make a joke? "Who makes name for organs and nerves?" "Is therr an ORGANization for that?"
Upvote this comment STAT!😂
Pah-ha I did not catch on to this Joke or accidental pun?
@@ambzerambzer8800 given how much trouble he has with puns, I'm guessing it was unintentional.
But he didn't catch it himself 😂

Bear said “dad, I’m the only baby” 😂. But I think he needs a friend!
dog park or playdates!
@@Cassxowarydog parks are actually really dangerous for dogs.
He even made a video on how his dog got attacked at a dog park (bear)
Yeah and now Dr. Mike has the space to do the dog meme 🤪
hes probably too big for one too unless im wrong@@ScarsFromTomorrow1
Doctor Mike doesn't know what he's talking about. I'm Italian and can 100% confirm that those were Italian blood cells. They're mixed with tomato sauce to help flow through the pasta veins easier.
Alr Buddy. I'm talking your pizza license
Dont forget the olives
and my ancestors ruined pizza, im part Hawaiian we put pineapple on pizza... yes i know i deserve the death penalty
The burnt toast thing is a Canadian tradition. There was a commercial here in the early 90s and it played ALL. THE. TIME. About a mom who smelled burnt toast before a seizure and how a doctor figured out where her seizures were stemming from in the brain. I can almost recite it by memory thirty years later. We invented neurology or seizures or something.
I was coming here to post this. Wilder Penfield (inventor of the Penfield dissector), was one of the first to do brain surgery on patients while they were conscious and identify areas of seizure activity.
I remember my entire class putting on an old lady voice all "I smell burnt toast!"
So we have you to blame for inventing seizures...
Is this advert online somewhere? I'm intrigued
@@GosieKin Search for "Heritage Minutes: Wilder Penfield"
The dead silence followed by "... I'm gonna delete the reddit..." is the epitome of the human experience on the internet.
This is what you drive poor Dr. Mike to when you try to use AI garbage unironically to make a meme.
All of THE Reddit
when
Mike starting by basically saying "if these aren't good, submit better ones" is hilarious
Doctors require da memes that hit the spot better than the funny bone 😌
@@Vytirix_RBXthat's triggering
@@evanprince3875 reeee
The Nitrate free on food packaging thing reminds me of a joke a French Canadian comedian said in one of his sketches: "When it says on the box 'cholesterol free' - it doesn't mean it doesn't have cholesterol in it, it just means they won't charge you for it."
😂😂😂
😂😂 I'm stealing this
I think Bear is a very appropriate name:- My 1st experience of a Newfoundland was in a freight company office; having climbed the stairs to reception I decided to ignore the bear skin rug, & then it stood up and, well, I didn’t smell so good…. 😂😂
thanks....that gave me a good laugh...🤣
@@thelionprince4530, gave Me a coronary… 😂😂
Bear fits him well because he's big and has fuzzy brown fur like lots of bears :D he's like a baby bear
“Bear had a tooth pulled… you can’t even see it” Well, yeah. 😂
yeah, that's usually what happens when you lose something 😂
That’s kinda the concept of removing something!
Animal rescue professional here... I'm almost always a fan of a single dog getting a friend! It's great for them to have that socialization time with other dogs and also allows them to have someone to interact with when their human(s) are unavailable. Typically opposite sex pairs tend to work just a tiny bit better (though individual personality is a factor). Also, I'm not sure how old Bear is, but keep in mind any major discrepancies in energy levels. A low-energy senior dog, for example, wouldn't likely want to deal with a high-energy puppy (but of course the giant breeds tend to be lower energy puppies). And be sure to check out rescues! So many amazing giant breed dogs out there looking for homes. You could even foster first to see how Bear does with having a second dog in the home. :)
Great advice! Since so many apartments/condos/HOAs have breed and size/weight restrictions, there's a very good chance you can find a wonderful large breed dog in need of a loving home! Always something to consider when you have the ability to give a loving home to a dog that many others can't.
You just wrote the comment I came here for, awesome!
I agree with all of that also applying to cats!
Yes, another big doggo!
What happened to Roxy?
Dr. Mike’s face when he finally understands a meme or joke is always priceless. 😂
Not Dr. Mike dropping everything to show off how proud of a dog dad he is towards the end (not that we're not here for it as well for every other trait of his) 😂 "Look, my son lost a tooth! Ain't it the cutest thing in the world? 💕" 😂😂😂
The mayo clinic one sent me 😂 I go to mayo for a lot of specialist care and every time I go without fail I text one of my friends saying "I'm here but I have yet to see any mayo. No ketchup or mustard either, a general lack of condiments I'm disappointed"
As a Mayo Clinic employee, I can assure the condiments are there. They are generally located in the cafeteria.
@@Koldphoenyx If they were located somewhere else I would be concerned.
that image is AI generated
Homer Simpson imagined it be mayo jars as doctors, while the ER-theme went on. Glorious :)
@@2003LN6 OR created by a human artist with Photoshop...so CGI, not AI. Big difference.
6:40 "My heart is on the other side, didn't notice? I'm leaving" 😂 genius! Never let them know your next move
3:34 wait… your name is Mike Varshavsky?! Oh man, if I worked for you, I’d dress like a monster every single day and greet you “MIKE VARSHAVSKY!”
Oh nooooooo
You mean instead of Mike Wazowski from Monsters, Inc? lol
@@danielleking262 lol, I mean, it *is* dangerously close. I would also pester him with his paperwork.. “I’m aaalways watching…”
In some TV show I learned that an air bubble can kill you. When I got an infusion in the hospital I noticed that there was a bubble approaching my arm. I FREAKED OUT. I didn't want to cause drama tho, so I just watched the bubble go inside of me in fear, then I counted like 10 seconds and decided I'm probably fine 😂
I have dextracardia, and no doctor has ever noticed from listening to my heart sounds. I've even had doctors tell me I don't have it afterward, but it's a little harder to argue with an image.
Ah, so a heart on the right instead of the left? You must be a rare one.
I guss that means your heart is in the RIGHT place then! Sorry if i offended you and i hope this joke made your day a little better
So you are safe from assassin ninjas then!
I had a friend in high school who had her heart on the right side, it actually caused her breathing issues in sports activities because in her case, her lungs were not flipped so her heart was kind of squashed, still cool to know how the body adapts when things turn out different from the norm though!
I have it too, except it’s with all my organs. Only thing it does is confuse my doctors and make me slightly more likely to get respiratory infections.
Dr. Mike snapping "yeah, we can hear different heart sounds! Here, here, here here here!" 🤣
I laughed way too hard at that part! 😂
Um ... Mike ... I think the cough syrup meme was probably a reference to the amount of alcohol in the cough syrup.
Doctor Mike, when you mentioned that you would mess with a doctor if your heart was on the other side of your chest, it reminded me of a health care provider who was listening to my lungs to see if I was wheezing, it's my pet peeve when they remove the stethoscope before I have finished exhaling. I don't tell them that I am a retired pediatric nurse...So, I know that they won't be my provider for very long.
Dr.Mike is getting pretty good with understanding memes....him trying to decode memes is a meme itself😂
1:13 "How dangerous is a slingshot?" Ever hear of David & Goliath?
Fun bit of trivia: Dr Pepper was named after a doctor. The inventor was trying to woo a girl and named the soda after her father, a physician, in order to get into their good graces. I have no idea if this worked. It's sweet if it worked, but it's way funnier if it didn't.
0:33 The static is a good visual representation of the feeling of pins and needles.
Dr Mike getting triggered about a Mayo clinic meme was not on my 2024 bingo
When I was a kid I could never think of anything but mayonnaise when I hear the mayo clinic haha. It's clearly AI but DR mike seems to think that someone spray foamed the area 😂
@@tinntinnamp OMG no same i thought i was the only one thinking of mayonnaise lmaoo
I loved the kitten one. To me, it clearly meant that the kitten finds your videos comforting. The existential dread was too much, so the kitten watched the video to calm down. Also, roller coasters can help you pass a kidney stone. A couple of times, someone came in to ask our pharmacist about OTC treatments for kidney stones and I was, like, "Roller coasters?"
I thought I heard it was specifically the 'Thunder Mountain Railroad' ride at Disneyland. Has it been observed with other roller coasters or amusement parks?
@@miriamrobarts Specifically Thunder back row lol But like I don't think there's anything special about Thunder specifically, I think it's just you need to find a ride that throws you around a lot. So like pretty much any coaster built before the 2000s should fit the bill. Woodies especially
I'm the one that submitted the meme.
I'm so grateful for anatomy and physiology lectures. I finally understand your comments and more memes!
Thanks for speaking at Overlook! New subscriber 😁✌️
my son has dextrocardia, its a bit shocking when a dr says theyve never heard of it before and/ or ask me what it is but at least they're honest about not knowing
You were gonna get us a kitty cat. I have NOT forgotten.
Only if Bear is good with cats.
This breach of trust will not stand! You and me... pitchforks and torches at dawn!
But as we learned in this video, cats are homicidal terrors while dogs are big, loving floofs 😁
0:48 I once hit my elbow so hard that it was in static for two weeks
I love watching your videos I learn so much from you dr Mike
The German word for funny bone is Musikknochen (music bone) because when you hit it it makes your arm hum. 🎵
It's actually "Musikantenknochen" (musician's bone) where I'm from in Germany. I seem to remember my primary school teacher explaining the name by musicians often have problems with that particular bone or nerve. But that teacher was a weird guy and told us some weird stuff 😆
Just throwing my hat in and saying I know it as the Musikantenknochen too, but given that my German mother *is* a Musikantin, she might have been biased :p
That's interesting, the term funny bone seems to come from the fact that hitting it makes your arm feel funny (weird) and/or that the actual name is humerus - which sounds like humorous.
@@mickimicki Depending on your anatomy, keeping your arm bent for long periods can lead to compression of the ulnar nerve and a conditon called cubital tunnel syndrome (similar to carpal tunnel just a different nerve). A lot of instruments require you keep your arm bent while playing, so your teacher may well have been right.
I always thought it was cause it makes you scream 'sing'.
Should I get a second Bear? WHY ARE YOU ASKING ITS YES, YES GET A SECOND 🐻. Newf floof!!!
I 100% agree! He should name it Baby Bear.
I’m still waiting for the cat 😂
@@Kenzalina_Booboo... because Yogi's the adult and Booboo is the baby bear 😁
@@KBRoller Boo-boo would be the perfect name! I completely agree with you!
WHAT SHE SAID!!
It's a great day when Mike posts a medical meme video. WE NEED MORE.
Love your videos you’re like the only doctor KZheadr I’ve seen who doesn’t overdramatic things like in some videos they talk about a type of disease and how bad it is, and never mentioned it is very rare. Again Love your videos!!
10:30 - I'm pretty sure there is an organisation for those who name organs, and a nerveisation for those who name nerves.
You should be the one sending in the memes

"Private schools have sparkling water" Me in a private school that barely even has water (it's also not 100% clean):
Sounds like you're going to the wrong kinda private schools😬
@@violett874depending on where u live, nearly every private school is cheap trash and give us tap water to drink.
In my private high school, we had just normal water fountains. But we *did* have Papa John's and Quizno's on offer every day for lunch if you didn't want the typical school lunches (for an extra cost, of course)... I lived on those 😂 If Dr. Mike is reading this, um, I misspoke and I meant I lived on salad and health foods... and definitely didn't also live on pizza throughout my university tenure, either.... >_>
Here's something I always wondered: through my life I have been through A LOT; streetfights, falling from heights and sometimes crashing my way down, high speed crashes, stupid ideas in general, hit on the leg by a high compression motorcycle kickstar kicking back multiple times... you name it. NEVER have I ever broken a bone or even cracked one. At the same time, in my first days of live I was hit by a severe urine infection which just wouldn't go away and the doctors fearing for my kidneys at one point. Inspite of that, I never had kidney stones or any other kidney-related problems. Wonder what makes my bones so strong and my kidneys so lucky?
Dr Mike, please don’t get a second dog from anywhere but a shelter. There are so many dogs in need that are being killed for no reason. If i could afford more dogs i would get them from the pound. Buying from a breeder when there are dogs being killed seems wrong
I simply live for his face when understanding strikes like lightning 😂😂😂😂.
ABSOLUTELY get a friend for your pups
The Mayo Clinic was the only one to really make me laugh 😂. I’ve been waiting for it forever.
Thank you for the Nitrates pro-tip! Its given me migraines since I was a kid.
Bear needs a friend! But a puppy so he can feel like he's still the big cheese in the house lol
On the other hand, if Bear is anything like me, children around the house are too exhausting 😅
MayoClinic meme is definitely AI. 😂
For real🤣🤣 some of the doctors in the image didn't have faces
The writing was typical AI eyeballing it.
yeah i could tell cuz mayo doesnt drip down at all lol
I’m gonna have an aneurysm. No one, not Mike, not the comments noticed that the mayo clinic meme was literally from an AI art sub, it is so obvious from the sub name even if you couldn’t tell visually.
And that's why it was not only not funny, but poorly illustrated.
2:31 the editor be cooking
you should really do more meme videos, its hilarious luv ur work n vids
The fact that he said Mayo Clinic BEFORE figuring out the pun had me in stitches!!!
"Comfortable sir?" took me a second.
Yeah I was like...huh? Come for table? No come for food
The static arm one is so relatable
Doctor Mike I just wanted to let you know how much you inspire me
yo before it is published I am here.
yo how😂
Bro, how were you here three days ago?! I thought being here under a minute was good 😂
HOW!?

I love how the AI trash one was the only one to get the rage out of Mike.
On the "Mr Pepper", if he was in the UK or Australia, that would be a promotion to surgeon
4:25 The image is AI generated Look at the letters and the people closely.
Also the fact that it was crossposted from the "weird dall-e" sub...
Speaking of mis information. Can Dr Phil really call himself a doctor if he hasnt renewed his license for almost over 20 years?
Yes, he can. Anyone can actually call themselves a doctor. The illegal part is taking money from people for treatment without extensive formal medical education.
*ahem* he was actually in danger of having it revoked by the board after a lawsuit he faced in 2006 and later for trying to get Britney Spears to agree to go on the show by visiting her in hospital. It wasn't really a choice by him, the writing was on the wall.
He's a psycho child predator that's about it
@@smalltime0so, lawsuit was by Britney?
@@deepuyangala464 the first part was he accused parents of actually adbucting their missing kid, and chopped together the footage they took on the show to basically make it look like they confessed. The Spear's lawsuit I think was by her parents, since she would been under conservatorship at the time
🤣 I'm laughing so hard that LITERALLY no sound is coming out and I just appear to be shaking with my mouth open! Thank you so much! 🤣 That boing boing sound is what got me! Too funny!
There's a county in Ireland called Mayo, everytime I heard the Mayo clinic I thought Ireland had this really respected medical research facility that only people in America talked about.
7:13 absolutely killed me 😂😂
4:20 Mike, that’s an AI generated picture… calm down.
Ik lol 😭😭
love hearing a doctor say "do it for your soul" :)
3:43 I PAUSED AT THE PERFECT TIME BRO
11:07 bear really said. nah I’m good
That one review when he talked about diverticulosis I got so excited because I have that, with ibs, Acid reflux, and who know what else 😭 but it feels nice to be noticed
Bear wants "the only child treatments" and doesn't wants to share anything with anyone 😂😂😂
3:13 why am I just now learning about this!? My doctors never told me about this when I had seizures. They’d just ask what I felt before I had one, but wouldn’t really give me anything to start off with so I’d go, “I don’t know…” Now looking at this I know that it was strong emotions/fear. That would’ve been useful to know a few years back….
I have epilepsy as well. Right before I have seizure, I feel strong sense of impending doom. I also have a feeling that all of the lights in the room just got a thousand times brighter. I sometimes get a feeling of Déjà Vu. It’s called an aura.
@@Kenzalina_ yeah I know the feeling but I could never describe it. They told me that whenever I felt this feeling to tell someone and sit down but like they don’t quite understand how overwhelming the strong emotion of fear and deja vu can be it become near impossible to talk. I don’t have seizures anymore, but it might’ve helped me a bit to know this before. Might have saved me from a few of my injuries.
@@naynay2217 Glad you are no longer having seizures. It is such a strange feeling and hard to communicate when you are talking to someone who doesn’t know the feeling. My auras happen too quickly for me to communicate what I am feeling. People who know me well, are good at recognizing the look that I get right before a seizure. I do try to lay down when I get them. I hope for your sake you never have that experience again. It’s almost like Mitch McConnell’s freezing episodes, right before I have one. I fully understand, why you had trouble communicating that you were getting auras before your seizures. Stay well my friend.
@@Kenzalina_ My dad had a couple of seizures which turned out to be caused by a brain abscess. Since then he's taken medication for epilepsy and hasn't had a seizure, but he has said that he has felt the same feeling he had before the seizures on multiple occasions (I don't know exactly what he experiences - I think the whole experience is something he doesn't want to talk about a lot). It's good to know that other people have similar symptoms.
@@kaspianepps7946 I am so sorry to hear that. The medications can work wonders and I am happy your Dad is doing well. I can’t tell you how common it is for people with epilepsy to feel embarrassed or not like talking about their seizures. It is completely understandable given that we have no idea what we look like, when we have seizures. Especially when it happens in public. This is why it’s incredibly important to share our experiences so other people know they aren’t alone.
4:46 “a pain for my wallet”… Yeah okay 🤣
7:13 with the drawing of Mike photoshopped onto the picture sent me into a laughing frenzy more than the rest of the memes. Also yes you should get another friend for Bear.
this guy inspired me sooo much and i want to be a nurse bc of him and i've learned a lot from him
Love your legacy dr Mike, always asking the right questions on the podcast and sharing the science and facts, your work doesn’t go unnoticed! So much love!
8:14 Maaaan I used to get kidney stones all the time. Super tiny ones so nothing super serious but HOLY HELL they would knock me out of commission for hours until they passed. Fetal position and everything, could never get comfortable, writhing in pain the entire time almost to the point of tears. I almost exclusively drink water now, so I never get them anymore, but man that was a rough time lol.
dang I feel bad
I love Dr. Mike taking things way too seriously, like the Nyquil in a wine glass
The elbow one at the beginning is so true
I just wanted to say that since discovering your videos a couple years ago I have learnt so much, and I would really like to be a doctor now. You are a huge inspiration to me so thank you so much :)
Mike is getting younger and younger by reacting to medical memes😂😂 Love ur content Mike
Mr.Varshavski 😂 and his reaction tho
1:42 When those period cramps come around, the pad is always on high lol. My heating pad has a layer that protects the skin from the main heating pad though.
4:09 this looks like AI generated.
7:39 ay!
Yay these are back!
I remember asking the nurses about the "Air-bubble" thing back when i as a teen in the hospital as i saw air-gaps / bubbles in the IV line and every so often those air-gaps would actually make it down into the iv injection site. Their response was: "Oh its ok.. your body can absorb the small amount of air that sometimes is there, if you see a large one though, feel free to slide this piece of plastic over the tub and call us." Was the little 'pinch-clip'.... only way i can describe it.... that was attached just above the 'manual injection' side of the IV tapped against my wrist that she was talking about.
Aww get a rescue Dr. Mike, and make you, Bear and that new addition to your family happy :)
100%
Hey Doctor Mike Just wanted to say thank you You are genuinely so kind and your videos are always so helpful and funny
6:25 why do I love this 😂
So cute seeing Bear.
I think Bear made it pretty clear he doesn't want a brother or sister. And come one! That's a lot of Bear! There's no humanly possible way you can give him enough care and love!
God I got a funny bone when I had the coffee in my hand and I hit my elbow of the oven’s handler and I spilled it all on the floor. 🤣🤣🤣😂
Oh my god, I’m so sorry. Rip coffee. 😩😩😩

Interestingly, my heart is in the wrong place, but not on the opposite side. It's simply pushed left a little further than it should be because of my concave chest. Because of this, I've never had an accurate EKG.

I needed Dr Mike today. Heading into work at the hospital laboratory. Now I have a smile on my face, the promise of a new day and a ‘protein drink’ in hand. 😬
