    I can't believe we've already hit our 20th episode of Doctor Reacts To Medical Memes. I love reacting to these memes and I'm always so happy that we continue to find new ones that allow for some education to come along with the laughs. Today we talk about botox, pregnancy, baby food, caffeine, carpal tunnel syndrome, staff and PPE shortages, circadian rhythms, doing surgery outside like The Simpsons, insulin, tanning beds, skin cancer, nasal congestion, cramming for tests in med school, biochemistry, study tips, big pharma, oxytocin, bee allergies, epipens, cold medicine, night shifts, Dwayne The Rock Johnson, hearing aids, and as always... CHEST COMPRESSIONS CHEST COMPRESSIONS CHEST COMPRESSIONS.
    I LOVE reading your comments and take your suggestions seriously. If there’s a subject you want me to discuss or something you’d like for me to react to, leave a comment down below. Many of my videos have been born out of suggestions directly from you, so don’t hold back!

      To be fair that's all a general practitioner really needs to know it's only people have extremely rare genetic conditions who have any interruption in that flow so you really just need to know what goes in and what comes out, and if you lack the output, it's that is the name of the cycle you look up to start testing.

      I have the same thing happen to me whenever I go to sleep, but the problem is that it always moves to whatever side I’m sleeping on. For example, it’ll often start in my right nostril, so I’ll try falling asleep on my left side. Then a few minutes later, my left nostril gets clogged/stuffy, so I go back to my right side. It’s an endless cycle until I fall asleep.

While that may very well be true, a deviated septum is another issue entirely. A deviated septum affects the amount of air that gets through a nostril, not which nostril(s) you breathe through. For some people that means side sleeping, mouth breathing, snoring, and common stuffy noses. Not necessarily all "normal" issues in this context.

      If someone is going go-karting, they are informed of the risk of crashing causing injuries before they begin. If they choose to continue and go onto the track, it doesn't matter if they decided it's a risk worth taking for the sake of fun (as most do) or if they believed it's not a real risk, either way, if they crash, that's on them... assuming the method and phrasing of that risk informance was sufficient. Saying "there's always a risk you'd crash and die you know" is greatly different to saying "X% of people who get into a go-kart end up crashing, and Y% of those end up with a broken bone or worse, with Z% being permanently injured or dead"

I wore glasses & contacts from 5th grade on through most of my life, so I understand all of the frustrations. Finally went through with the procedure and... AMAZING (did I say that?).

      From one bespectacled person to the other: bend your nose clip better.
      What you want to do (with disinfected hands of course) is to bend the top of the nose clip into a round shape with your thumb before putting the mask on. When you take a fresh mask out of the pack, that part is bent in a way too sharp angle.
      Bend your nose clip so it looks kinda like the curve of the normal distribution before you put it on and it's going to be much better. If you don't pre-bend, the fit is never really tight because just pressing the clip to your nose doesn't work as well as actively pre bending it with your hands.

    2:15 Is actually a natural thing to happen. One of your nostrils always has a slightly worse flow than the other, and it switches sides every few hours. The reason is there are certain smell particles which need a bit longer on the receptors to be registered, and there are ones which need only whizz by, and they will create a signal instantly. If you have a very fast airflow, you are skipping the slow particles, and if you are going too slowly, you might risk suffocation, so you have both at the same time, but not always at the same place.

    I had a patient goto 4 tanning salons in two hours. She had to be sent to stonybrook burn unit for third degree burns. Basically the ER doctor told her she was cooking her self internally . 😳

      Literally not possible unless she mistook a microwave oven for a tanning bed. UV light only penetrates micro meters into the skin.

    hey mike! the reaosn last minute panic solves (at least) ADHD work block is because the adrenaline caused by that panic temporarily balances the imbalance of chemicals in your brain that causes executive dysfunction in the firstplace

    Fun fact: the “dominant” nostril changes about every 3 to 6 hours so one is always less "activate" than the other. :) (If I remember this correctly.) Not sure what this is called, but it’s a thing.
    Edit: It's every 3 to 6 hours as someone pointed out, not 8 minutes as I sloppily recalled.

      I have this issue from when I was a kid and I have got used to it, one of my 1 nostrils get completely blocked and one more fun fact it maybe be or maybe not work for you - when my right nostril is blocked and then if I sleep facing my left down then my right blocked nostril opens and this same thing works for the opposite side for me

    To be fair to the Rock, just looking at a picture of him at age 15, it’s fairly clear that his body has had *wild* chemistry going on inside it ever since puberty hit him like a freight train.
