Never heard of this at all. I have never seen a doctor who harbor this investigative mind and curiosity. Kudos to you !
Talk about a terrifying way to wake up!
vinewoodk1 I’ve never had this particular problem but I have once had sleep paralysis where my mind was awake but I couldn’t move anything or even open my eyes and I can confirm it is horrific
I couldn’t imagine even having sleep paralysis! I only slept with my arm above my head so that the nerves were pinched and I woke up with it completely numb and I could not move it at all, and I was terrified! Had to pull it with my other hand and wait until everything returned hahahaha
vinewoodk1 I would’ve shit my pants
Vinewood........that's what happens when u live on coffee and almost nothing much else.......he is fortunate he did not have a cardiac arrest with such a low potassium.
It sucked!
i hope if i ever need a doctor for real then i get a doc like you, you're exactly what a doc should be
So glad that young man got the help he needed, starting with his roommate. One more reason why it’s not great to be alone all the time. Great diagnostics and treatment.
Well thanks for that. If this ever happens to me I'll die of thirst. Or choke on a spider that crawls into my mouth while I scream in terror. Ah the joys of loneliness.
Can someone summarize the video? For some reason it’s not playing. What happened
Death with take you anytime and unexpectedly, mate. You can literally go about your day riding your bike to work on a farm road where no one ever goes, then all of a sudden you drop paralyzed or dead.
You can prevent this, but how, when all your appointments are delayed and you're being seen by foreign uninterested medics who superficially say that you're being anxious about your health.
He would have been fine either way. He just got back to normal faster at the hospital.
@@NeyooxetuseiDreamerThink I'll trust the science on this one 👍😂
i have hypokalemic periodic paralysis and wasn’t diagnosed until i was almost 50, even though i had my first episode of paralysis at 22. i wish more doctors looked for rare diseases instead of telling patients they had psych problems when the docs couldn’t figure it out... P.S. great video, really enjoyed it!
@pdxcarlyk The trouble with rare diseases is that they are so common, because there are so many of them. About 1 in 10 people in the US have a known disease that affects less than 1 in 10,000. There are about 7,000 recognized rare diseases by that same 1 in 10,000 standard. I'm guessing most doctors would not know the names of most of those, much less the symptoms. And I wouldn't expect them to. If you spent an hour learning about each one, that would take 3 1/2 years of 40 hour weeks, and by the time you got to the last one, you wouldn't remember the first. Even within a single specialty, it would not be realistic to know about most of them.
And that 1 in 10 is only for the conditions that are known and understood, troublesome enough to be diagnosed, and have been diagnosed. There are probably far more with unknown, undiagnosed, or merely annoying rare diseases. Most people probably have or will have at least one.
The future, I believe, is in AI diagnosis.
@pdxcarlykthere's a difference between saying idk and choosing to believe the patient is lying, exaggerating, or its caused by anxiety rather than the other way around.
@pdxcarlykrespected Doctor who is so educated to not be fooled by the dunning-kruger effect and would consider the idea that it would be something they don't know about. That would be my expectation
@pdxcarlykexcellent point.
You are spot on.
fr its always "your young" BS
Pfft. Medical schools are over rated. Im going to graduate from the University of Violin MD 😂
😂😂😂
OnlyLeprechaun Lmao I agree what Ya!
OnlyLeprechaun i would love to have her as a teacher she makes it so intresting and i love the way she explains everything😊
LMAOOO YES!!
She is detailed and gets to the root cause of the problems. Bravo.
Currently pursuing the reasoning behind my periodic paralysis. The only thing we've found so far is that my potassium was a bit low. IV fluids seem to be the only thing that help me move again, even though I drink electrolyte formulas daily just to function. It's really fascinating to hear about people going through similar. I know this video is a couple years old, but thank you for sharing stuff like this, it really helps me understand in layman's terms things that could be at play.
Potts?
@@grandma460 not sure if you meant Postural Orthostatic Tachycardia Syndrome, but yes, I have that diagnosis. They found that my potassium was low in my paralysis episodes. I started incorporating sources of potassium in my weekly intake and have seen a reduction in paralysis episodes.
This happened to me too! But we knew I was having potassium problems for awhile. Eek!

Only reason I recognized it as hkpp before she said what it was, I’d because of a CZcamsr, Chronically Amy, who had it. She tells a story of going paralyzed after getting served a drink at McDonald’s, because she asked for diet and got regular, which caused her insulin to spike, and her hkpp to trigger. This is a very interesting case! Thanks for sharing!
Things like this prove to me more and more that medicine is the right career for me. I'm supposed to hear from the first medical school I interviewed at this week and this video made me even more excited. Keep up the good work!
Good luck Michael and prayers that all will go as planned!!
ahhh good luck!!!!!!
Good luck
Good luck, I hope all works out for you! Keep your head and persevere!!
medicine interests me a lot but i'm no where near "smart" enough for it.
I have hypokalemic periodic paralysis. My son has it too. It took forever to find out what was going on with us. It is rare but we have some good docs now. Thanks for the video.
Just love how pumped you get, when describing the symptoms and diagnosis. Can definitely tell that you have a passion for medicine. If only all doctors were this passionate.
I wish i knew more doctors like her, so it's enthusiastic to actually get to the root cause. It's interesting how nutrients play a role in these videos. ❤
I LOVEE these medical case reports! You have found an excellent way of displaying your medical expertise while also making the viewer feel like they are part of the investigative process too. I adore the day in the life videos but these are stellar. Lets be honest, all your videos rock! Thank you from all the medical enthusiasts on youtube.
ditto
I think she got the idea from Chubbyemu (you should watch his case study videos)
I'm totally okay with that though, I'm not hating on her for it, I love these, and have already watched all of Chubbyemu's so more is good.
Right. I love ut.
Nice story. And they all lived happily ever after !!
I have yet to have even one experience where doctors got to the root of the problem.
WITH A DRAMA WRITER LIKE YOU HAVE. IT WOULD MAKE A GREAT T. V. SERIES.
OF COURSE EVERYONE WOULD KNOW IT'S. FICTION.
@@PBMS123i personally like her videos more than chubbyemu. I really appreciate how she walks through thought processes of diagnosis in more detailed steps. But ditto, I love these kinds of videos!
I'm a student nurse and find these videos so interesting. I love how enthusiastic and informative you are!
Good luck with your schooling and your studies Sabrina! Lord knows how much the medical field can benefit from lots of caring & compassionate nurses especially ones fresh out of nursing school or students like yourself. Thank you for wanting to help patients get well or stay well!
all the best in your studies.
I’m a MA student and hoping to start nursing soon
First year of nurse university here! And so excited about everything I'm learning
@@harunana1793 ...careful.....keep an open mind......Universities are being run by Pharmaciea...........teach others to optimise maintain and sustain health.
Fascinating! I wish the doctors near me were so interested in really sitting down and figuring things out instead of shrugging things off all the time😔 I love these vids!
I have Grave's Disease too, and have always thought that it's quite rare for it to be passed onto boys. I have two young boys myself so I'll definitely be making sure to keep them in check once they get a little older. Thank you Voilin MD!
I'm curious, can you go back into intense workout after being diagnosed?
@@allkindz6792 Yes you can have what ever healthy life style you want. I have had Graves disease since I was 25 and I am 65 year old now and Have been active and healthy otherwise than the first year after my Graves was found. Unfortunately my Graves disease would not moderate and I had to have my thyroid removed and use thyroid replacement therapy daily. Every three months it is a blood draw to make sure my thyroid levels are where they are suppose to be. I am a male and the disease is fairly common in my family in both genders.
I’d love to be this confident in my own knowledge
When u have just learned about cells in school and a bunch of this stuff is fresh in your mind
"Right now, you've got thyroid hormone running through your body!" Me, a person with hypothyroidism: 😔
Tk cr
Same! I’ve been diagnosed with thyperthyroism when I was young in 5th grade and some how it flipped and I’ve been with hypothyroidism for years now
I have hypothyroidism. Cold all the time, brittle nails, loosing my hair and don't want to move. Skin is dry as the Mohave desert. Not enough hormones.
Same here I was diagnosed in 4 grade and it flipped so suddenly it’s sucks having to take a pill every day for the rest of our lives
you have some but not enough
I'm glad that this guy received help very quickly and was brought back to health. This is why it's good to have somebody living with you.
Off topic but how come everyone always talks about how hot Dr. Mike is but never about how pretty she is?
I would rather talk about how smart and passionate both are. Although I agree they both are attractive.
Chaotic Yank I very much agree!!
Neither is really appropriate.
Focus on intelligence instead.
I feel as though it’s a good thing. She’s a medical professional, not an object.
Chaotic Yank well said
And this is why we should all take advantage of bananas being in season.
All of the bananas in the world would not have helped this guy. He needed treatment for the hyperthyroidism.
@@margueriterappoport4410 yeah, I commented prematurely it seems. Lol
i hate bananas they are gross *yuck*
@@MysticalAmberMC Gurl would you like my banana UwU
I just don’t like bananas because they make me fart haha first world problems
Love the simplicity of these stories and the way they’re put over. The best communicators use stories to put over messages, which helps them to stick.
Looking at this as a final year Medical Student and wondering why this method isn’t utilized in Medical Schools. It would go a long way in helping future doctors to recall materials.
Also, forming differentials in my mind as we go through the videos, and it’s doing great for my confidence lol (much needed with exams approaching)
Great job! 💕
I feel like she use her husband for demonstrating alex which is so cute!
So happy you are bringing awareness to periodic paralysis syndromes!! Awareness is vital. it can be deadly, and when it’s not, it’s often labeled conversion disorder- making the situation so much worse for the patient.
But there is one thing the video does not adress properly: Why did the patient suddenly recover from the paralysis, even before he was put on medications? Did thyroid levels drop or what happened?
@@ingvaraberge7037 I surmise that while they waited for results he might not have eaten or at least not carbs. He was not active, thus the last of movement and the fall in the insulin levels helped to correct the problem temporarily?
I have Graves Disease, too. My hyperthyroidism led me to have a thyroid storm. So hearing about other thyroid related issues is quite interesting. I never knew about my Graves Disease, until I was literally knocking on death's door. I really love that you are informing us of a rare case. It's crazy that something so small, like your thyroid and it's hormones have such a huge impact.
Gosh, this doctor should have a TV show. The way she undertakes the cases of most of her patients is very articulate and intrinsic. I really salute all the doctors who are battling on the frontline. Somehow, this had really got me into some minor realizations. Why not the government give aid/stipend/subsidiary to med students in achieving their dreams toward becoming a healthcare experts and not creating a huge monetary debts on their pockets. Same to soldiers, doctors and other healthcare experts are working their way up to save lives and potentially alleviate the living of the people. So far, Violin M.D taught me how to be more open to decisions and be more decisive on alot of things. Oral communication also really takes part of becoming a doctor. I really find myself readily available to cast and voice my words out and that hopefully i could use these skills when I become one, a doctor, someday.💙
Let be more realistic: Recruit Engineers to become Drs: will take one year; they will have the Skills to analyze and make decisions. Period CHEAPPAA way Dude BJ
We need fewer soldiers and more doctors
@@dshe8637lol. Those soldiers are the reason you're still free. Every country needs a defense system

Fascinating case! Thank you for sharing it, and telling the tale in such a gripping manner! I tend to get electrolyte imbalances, usually hypokalemia and occasionally hyponatremia. The first time it happened, I had no idea what was going on.
I had been having the most terrible muscle cramps for weeks. One day while I was at work, I could feel my heart begin to beat irregularly. It was painless, but naturally it freaked me out. I was unsure what to do - clearly something was wrong, but I had no way to assess the urgency of the situation. I didn’t want to panic and overreact over what might be trivial, but I also didn’t want to ignore what might be life-threatening, either.
I worked at a medical insurance company as a computer programmer, and I recalled that hey, we have a bunch of doctors up on the next floor (they reviewed medical necessity to pre-approve procedures). They were all older and retired from practice, but still wanted to work part-time, so this was an ideal job for them. Among them was a fellow who drove a Rolls Royce and wore interesting hats, and most notably looked impossibly old. In my head, I always called him “Dr. Methuselah.”
I made for Dr. Methuselah’s office, found him therein, and explained the situation, asking if I should seek medical attention immediately or just call and make an appointment. Instead of receiving the expected recommendation, instantly I was surrounded by a sea of elderly men wielding stethoscopes and sphygmomanometers. Yes, they all still carried their gear with them, ready to spring into heroic medical action at a moment’s notice. I don’t know how Dr. Methuselah’s nearby colleagues knew that doctoring was afoot, but they all somehow did and simply materialized out of thin air.
My blood pressure was on the low side (unusual because I had been diagnosed with mild hypertension) and my heartbeat was indeed irregular. After conferring briefly, they determined that an immediate trip to the ER was in order. 911 was called, and I was promptly whisked away in an ambulance, feeling a little silly because the hospital was just two blocks away and I could have easily just walked over there. The paramedics didn’t think I was having a heart attack, but gave me prophylactic sublingual nitroglycerin anyway, just in case.
At the ER, blood tests revealed hypokalemia, and I confirmed their inquiries about the other symptoms I was experiencing, mainly fatigue and those godawful muscle cramps all over my body. They wanted to increase my blood potassium level as quickly as possible, so they added a tiny bag of potassium solution to my IV and set it to a rather brisk drip. Within a few minutes, though, I had to call the nurse and beg her to reduce the rate because it felt like the needle and the area of the vein where it was inserted was on fire. My God, that stuff burns! With the doctor’s concurrence, the dear lady kindly diluted it to a mixture that was no longer tantamount to torture.
After that, voilà! I felt orders of magnitude better, saved by modern medicine from what actually was a potentially life-threatening situation.
After all this, what was the cause of the hypokalemia, you may be wondering. It was - and I’m still irritated by this to this very day - an idiot doctor. The nitwit prescribed me hydrochlorothiazide, but failed to give me any supplemental potassium, and didn’t even ever bother to check it. I fired her immediately. Medical incompetence in such an obvious and predictable thing is inexcusable. Fortunately, there are so many capable and compassionate doctors available so that we do not have to suffer fools. I was also a bit annoyed with myself for having put up with Dr. Dimwit so long, despite having seen previous red flags (those are another story). In the end, though, all worked out, because I found the most incredible family doctor who ever lived. And that, too, is another story. A good one. 😊
Absolutely love how you break everything down and show your love for medicine!
i woke up paralyzed when i was 10, and they misdiagnosed me with guilian barre syndrome and then a couple days later i got rediagnosed with transverse myelitis and now i’m a paraplegic.
Annie Nickerson I’m so sorry to hear. That must have been so terrifying. One day you were fine and the next you were paralyzed? I have 3 kids and I can’t imagine, that is so horrible
If they would have diagnosed you correctly the 1st time, would you be able to walk? (I hope this isn't coming off rude. Just curious)
Natalie Vasquez yes, the day before i thought my leg was asleep, then i went to bed and woke up paralyzed.
but it’s alright. everything happens for a reason
Robyn Boudreaux 80% can walk after 6 months if they’re diagnosed with Guilain Barre syndrome.
with Transverse myelitis, it’s a 50/50 chance you could walk again it just depends on the level of paralysis and surgeries you get afterwards. your comment did not come off rude at all!!😊
I was diagnosed with TM when I was 10 months old!
I am very happy for Alex ! I also want to mention how great you are at telling the story and explaining very complex medical case in plain words for us to understand. i really understood everything you explained and I am not a medical professional. Thank you and keep informing and educating us.
I love to see these kind of medical cases (based on true journals) !
It just intrigues me so much !!
Thankyou for doing this ❤️

This was really enlightening - not just an explanation of the particular medical phenomena, but also a deeper look into medical problem-solving strategy! Love this, keep up the great content.
There’s a reason why I found you, I started watching your videos today! I was checking my RHT and I heard you say “hyperthyroidism”, I looked up and started the video all over again!
In April, I was diagnosed with hyperthyroidism, with absolutely no family history thyroid issues. I remember complaining about ALL of those symptoms, it was pretty bad. I thought I was stressing due to a new job at a women’s clinic. I’m glad that one of the doctors recommended I have my thyroid levels checked.
Then, in May I was diagnosed with Graves Disease, by my now endocrinologist. It’s been a horrible roller coaster of doctors visits, medications going up/down, cancer scares/clearings, I’ve had 2 ultrasounds, 1 CAT Scan and what feels like 100 lab test.
I feel so alone with this disease, I want to feel normal again and I just hope that it goes away.💔
I love the way you explained things by delivering your message in a story format.
I was diagnosed with Graves disease a month before my 70 birthday. I was a healthy senior up to the day I was diagnosed with Graves. I was fortunate that a doctor was quick to suggest a thyroid test and started the treatment with both medications you mentioned in the video. Off the meds for now, except for my blood pressure, the numbers are very irregular.
I'm in my first semester of nursing school, and it can get so stressful sometimes!! But watching your videos reminds me why I want to go into this field and all the awesome things you can experience. Thank you so much for these!!
How’d you do in nursing school?
i really feel like you’re going to make a wonderful doctor. the way you break things down, and genuinely are committed to the patient and getting to the bottom of their problem. it took me 18 years of constant doctors visits mistreatment and wrong diagnoses to finally correctly diagnose me with my condition. i mean this whole heartedly, we desperately need more doctors and people like you. 💗
She IS a wonderful doctor
LOVE these case-study type videos you do! Really like how you break down how a diagnosis goes and the diagrams you use! This is the way I like to learn matieral. Please keep videos like these coming!!
Your videos really rock. You put in so much effort in bringing the case to life. Thank you. Do you sometimes also find real cases from your work, or are you not allowed to ask patients whether they would mind getting shown on CZcams?
I have never heard of this but I love the way you explained it all. Love your enthusiasm too
I really relate with this story. My uncle was finally diagnosed last year with Grave's disease after months of drastically losing weight and having no energy whatsoever. He would eat a whole container of ice cream each night to try to gain some weight but nothing helped him. Luckily he is doing better now and he has gained weight all the while not having to eat a gallon of ice cream every night.
I have never heard of something like this before. Thank you for posting such interesting and informative videos. You are truly admirable, inspirational, the list goes on. I am so happy that I found your channel!
I love how passionate you are about this stuff. Love watching your videos
Love the video. Like how you walked through the process from diagnosis to treatment.
Love your enthusiasm Siobhan! You make medicine interesting to the layperson. Hamilton is lucky to have you on duty. Keep up the great work. And odd side note, you have awesome hair :)
This one hits close to home. I too had hypokalemia and lost feeling from my hands to my elbows until I went to the ER and had potassium and magnesium given through IV and really gross tasting liquid mixed with Apple juice. My underlying cause was due to an incredibly fast increase in the way my body handled anxiety. I was diagnosed with a nervous disorder that causes me to get physically ill. I had just started college, got my first job and started dating someone new within the course of a couple weeks, and my brain got overloaded and I started having anxiety and panic attacks. I was bedridden for multiple months, sleeping all day and throwing up everything I ate for some reason. Eventually I had an anxiety attack that lasted 3 hours because my hands and elbows were feeling weak. Well, I ended up losing feeling altogether, having a panic attack where I hyperventilate and made my whole body numb and purple, got rushed to the ER for the first time ever and by ambulance, which scared me more. Turns out my potassium and magnesium were low, but my potassium was 2.3. 15 hours, lots of IVs, gross juices with potassium liquid and pills later, I was feeling better, but the damage from sleeping all day and being horizontal for months, loaing 60 pounds from not being able to eat and throwing up whatever I forced down my throat, made it really hard to get used to sitting up and standing and walking. Took another 2 months to fully recover. That was in 2013 when I was 18.
Thank you for all the editing work you do! I'm primarily a visual learner, and the illustrations, graphics, etc. are extremely helpful!
This was really great! I loved seeing how a doctor works through all the possibilities in a medical mystery. I would like to see more like this.
Thank you!

Third year resident, huh? You have two years to attend scribe classes. Your handwriting is dangerously legible for a physician.
This is so great! I used to live for this show called “Mystery Diagnosis” and this was like that. This is helpful for nursing school 😉
All my friends are watching your videos,we love them.Thanks
I love how you tell this like a story（even more interesting than a story lol）
Hey, new viewer from the UK here! Your insights into the medical system in Canada is so interesting and I’m so happy to see someone so kind and knowledgeable in the field of medicine. As an aspiring banking and finance graduate, having kindness and compassion is something I want to have and you’re a great example!
Fascinating! Due to being a medical transcriptionist for many years, classwork and working in hospital settings I'm often able to guess diagnoses, but I'd never heard of this one.
Never heard of it , I wish all the doctors would be as passionate! Caring for people is a big responsibility
You are such a breath of fresh air! You are not only very knowledgable; you have such an engaging attitude and bring us into your conversation! I never had heard of this condition. But you made it all make so much sense!
I have only been subscribed to you for about a week or two. I just happened to be scrolling when I saw your channel. After watching you, I subscribed immediately! I am so glad I found your channel! God bless you!
Wow, I have never heard of this! Imagine if he didn’t have a roommate living with him..how scary! I would love to see more videos like this, it was super interesting 😊
I was diagnosed with Graves Disease when I was 16. Holy crap, I am SO thankful I never had to experience paralysis! I am 25 now and the hardest part for me is the temperature regulation. I live in Southern California, so the summers come close to killing me lol. The human body is so interesting and complex, its amazing! I am currently taking anatomy with hopes of entering the medical field, and its a lot to take in. Last Monday, we skinned cats. This upcoming Monday, we're going to be dissecting the cat's muscles. There's so much to learn!
This lady has enough enthusiasm for all of us and I am 1000% here for it! Awesome episode, I absolutely adore these kinds of videos!! Cubbyemu aka Dr Bernard will always have a special place in my heart lol
Iv never been interested in the medical sides of things ect but OMG Iv been non stop watching your videos, I’m so genuinely interested it’s awesome
This reminds me of when I was having issues and had “thyroid storming”. It was a mystery that needed solving. My doctor called the thyroid the conductor of the orchestra . 😂
This is so true. Never knew about the thyroid until I ended up in the ER with a Thyroid Storm. The orchestra analogy is perfect.

awesome vid! would love to see more like this - very educational for a medical student
Okay you’re literally a compassionate version of Dr. House 🤯 In other words, best. doctor. ever!!
Hello , I am a medicine student in Turkey.I watched this video tonight and I really love it !!! Because it is really good to remember informations and diagnosing and also it is a big opportunity to improve my English.I wanted thank you for these all videos.You are so lovely !!!
Wonderful case presentation! I suspected that there would be some sort of deficiency present. Excellent job pinning it down to graves disease in the end and straightening Alex out. I really find medicine to be such a beautiful way to address problems. Thank you for sharing this case and thank you for your passionate explanations! I look forward to more content and cases!
0:45 'It is intended for educational purses only'. Guess I can't watch this video as a human then.
She always writes that in real patient cases, not to make anyone self diagnose and do stupid things after watching the videos.
hahaha
I think he was pointing out it says purses!
Stina Palm he meant it as a joke because she misspelled ‘purpose’ to ‘purses’
Haha😅
Love how passionate you are! Been skipping Netflix to binge on your vlogs haha
I love this omgg...I didn't know your channel had case studies...I am gaining so much from here..
Yay another video! I was just looking for a distraction and this is the perfect one. My mom just passed away 3 days ago and this is the perfect thing to help.💕
Bless your heart
Sorry for your loss 💗
I had hyperthyroidism and greaves disease and never knew about this! I suppose like you said it’s super rare! I did the radioiodine treatment and it has fixed most if not all of my symptoms (sweating, tremors, anxiety etc). It’s amazing that such a little gland in your body controls so much !
Love your videos! 🇦🇺
Does that treatment really help? I too have hyperthyroidism and I've heard about that treatment but I'm just too afraid of having hypothyroidism...
You explain things so well! You are also fun to listen to!!
Great presentation!! So easy to understand, you rock!
I think I would almost always absorb information taught in my classes if they were taught by you!
I'm sure you've heard this before, but a collab between you and Dr Mike would be everything!
I love your enthusiasm!
I was watching this as a third year medical student and was fascinated with this case! I was thinking more along the lines of a pontine stroke or syringomyelia until you started listing some of the physical exam findings and labs. Especially the proximal nature of the patient’s neurologic deficits. I’ve never heard of this before! For endocrine issues I briefly considered thyrotoxicosis, but hadn’t considered it as high on my DDx after the BP and temp were normal! Thank you for sharing this! I really enjoy this style of video!
He was cured when poked with a tac
the key - one at least - was his proximal deficit. this is why it’s not too great that doctors largely test muscle strength only distally.
❤️I love watching you and you are an inspiration because when I grow up to be older I’m gonna be a nurse and help people in need❤️
I’m only in middle school thinking about pages and all this , at least I’m learning young
Learning about how your body works is ALWAYS good, no matter what you decide to study. I went to nursing school & while I didn't practice very long, I have been able to help many people understand themselves. My grown daughter had college level knowledge of anatomy & physiology before high school. My grandson & I have done anatomy studies on road kill animals. It's like having a care manual for your most important asset, your body. Happy learning!
I went to the hospital with extremely low potassium a few months ago and I just wanna put it out there that having pure potassium pumped through my veins was one of the most painful things to have ever happened to me
It is painful if done incorrectly, it has to be very diluted. You had a bad nurse/doctor, so sorry.
your videos are so educating! I'm from USA Southern California. I'm a 20 year old MA and can't wait to move up the ladder and learn so much just like you
i LOVE how well you explain things, especially the differential diagnosis. Thank you!! for all you do for us aspiring docs! This is how I want to explain things to my attending :D
Hyperkalemic periodic paralysis is actually unfortunately common in Quarter Horses as well! It's all due to a genetic defect that arose in a single Quarter Horse named Impressive. People were so amazed by his muscle condition (due to the HYPP, though not known at the time) that he ended up siring a HUGE amount of foals. It's estimated that he sired about 10% of the Quarter Horses living today!
I love watching your videos! It definitely gives an inside perspective on what medical professionals go through! It’s like every patient is a jigsaw puzzle, and you have to do all theses tests to figure out how to put them back together lol
Thanks for posting! I'm learning a lot from your videos.
The best explanation of all. Your program is of tremendous help of info. Thanks and keep up your good work.

Side note 📝: You have great handwriting and I love how you color code and lay out your notes! So much easier to read!!
Awesome videos Doc. Keep up the great work!
I love these videos. I learned so much. Please make more!
This is so interesting! I had never heard that your cells could take in too much potassium or even that you could get paralyzed from it! It was interesting to hear that it was linked to hyperthyroidism. I myself have hypothyroidism from my Hashimoto’s (my thyroid is essentially dead at this point). It makes me wonder what other things could be interconnect with some of the things I already have. Especially my lupus- I wonder if that could cause anything else. I would do some research but the internet is a scary place when it comes to medical diagnoses. Keep up the great work!!
Ps do you still play violin??
Wow. That was a tough case to solve. I love how you break everything down for us, and classify everything. You make a great teacher
I love these types of videos so much that I’m thinking of majoring in medical biochemistry. Thanks a lot for making these videos 😊
Wow, she narrates this case in such an exciting way! I love her videos!
