People get up to all kinds of bizarre things in airplanes. Today I'm taking a look at people and incidents that even left me, a medical professional, scratching my head. I'm looking at strange airplane yoga and stretches, people going barefoot in the bathroom filing off their dry skin, fights that result in prison time, emotional support animals, giving birth on an international flight, bacteria on your seat, the struggle for autistic travelers, whether you should order coffee on an airplane, using dramamine for sickness, neck pillows, and the hottest debate of all: whether you should recline your seat or not.

The full story of the teen who has autism is that the flight attendant initially said no to the first class meal purchase, but after they tried other things that didn’t work and the mother explained the situation, the flight attendant brought her a hot meal. The teen ate it and was fine and happy. About 25 minutes later there was an announcement made that the plane was making an emergency landing bc of a passenger with “behavior issues”.
They landed and paramedics came on board and after seeing the teen happily sitting and watching a video, they told the crew that they had real issues to attend to and left. The police then boarded and saw the same thing as the paramedics, didn’t see any issue, and started to leave. They were stopped by the captain/pilot who spoke to them and the police went back to the family and informed them that the captain had asked the police to have the family leave the plane bc he wasn’t comfortable continuing to fly with the teen on board. The police even apologized for having to make them get off the plane.
Other passengers did speak up and said that the teen was actually calm and had done nothing wrong, they said she was less disruptive than crying babies who are allowed on flights and don’t cause a flight to be diverted.
That’s so strange
wtf, that airline should get sued
@@Antony_Oscar Agreed
Racism in a nutshell: autism edition
and ppl might say
'babies can't control their crying!'
Well neither can someone with autism.
Not quite sure what's the problem with the Captain, but Captain has the right to remove a passenger if they decides the passenger is disruptive.
I hope the airline booked the family on another flight.
if the crew wanted to make the best decision for the safety & comfort of ALL passengers, they would have just sold the hot meal to the kid. it's not like she was asking for it for free.
Corn bots are sealing you comment, so I guess congrats?
And maybe the parents could have just purchased 1st class seats!?
@@deirenne they could maybe not have the money for that. First class is expesive
Usually airlines provide areas in the booking site to describe amy special requests especially health related issues, which the purser will inform the flight attendants before boarding. Either the parents could've mentioned the autism and the reaction, or yknow its United. They ain't known for their passenger comfort.
@@hassanabdulaziz4517wasn’t United the one that also got in trouble for overbooking and then yanking a man off the plane; injuring him?
As a random on the Internet who also struggles with autism, hailing from the McNugget-shaped country (Ireland), we wear a sunflower lanyard in the airport and on the plane. All staff are trained to recognise that lanyard and know, "Hey, this man (or woman) has autism", and they'll be helpful to you no matter where you are. The story of the autistic teen disgusted me. It just made me re-evaluate how lucky I am to live in a country where autism is a big deal for my generation and can be easily managed and helped along the road.
You feel lucky to live in Ireland, do you? Weren't you guys the first people in the world to say an intact biological male could choose to go into a women's prison simply because he said so? Yeaaaaaaaah........... Maybe you guys deal with autism that way because you're all Austistic.
Omg, As an autistic teen, That would be amazing, i get very overstimulated in airports and big areas, and can even become very annoying on flights, i wish there was a way in the USA to let everyone know i do have autism and im not just a spoiled brat
Well, the story went differently actually, the flight attendant said no initially but tried to get other thing but when that didn't work they brought her the food. But then they made an announcement to make an emergency stop because of a passenger with behavioral issues, paramedics and cops both showed up, the teen was fine and happy because the food was good and they left because they saw nothing wrong, but then the absolute slob of a pilot told the cops he wasn't comfortable with her on the plane so they had to take her off, they even said sorry for having to do it.
@@pyromain If this was a male you wouldn't care and you'd side with the pilot.
I have Asperger's and ARFID. I've been a "picky" eater since before I could talk. That family should've been prepared for the possibility that the plane will not have food that the daughter will eat. They should've brought food on the plane that they know she would eat. Or if that's not allowed, have her eat something shortly before going to the airport. The world is unfair and doesn't need to cater to every person with every kind of disability. People with Autism (as well as other disabilities) need to adapt to the world they're in, not the other way around.
Dr. Mike -- I had my own in-flight emergency experience once, and I thought for sure I would be the least helpful person, since I have been a psych nurse for 15 years. BUT ... turned out to be a young woman with a full blown anxiety/panic attack. I spent the rest of the flight in the back with her, helping her remain calm and monitoring her condition after some medications, while the flight attendants gave my daughter extra snacks and a free movie.
That last part was an unnecessary Cute addition That I am very glad you added. Anyways Your a Legend
That’s really cool! How did you help her remain calm? Like breathing exercises maybe?
Based flight attendants
How???@@ChaoticKris964

My dad flies and he’s almost 6.5 feet tall and flies all the time. He tries to book economy plus or an exit row for comfort, but sometimes, it’s impossible due to how crowded the flight is. He had someone try to recline their seat over and over again into his knees and so he politely tapped them on the shoulder and explained the reason her seat was not reclining properly was because his knees were there. The woman asked my dad if he could put his knees somewhere else…
From what I understood when the video initially came out, was that she kept jamming her seat into him which was the issue and he became agitated because she refused to work with him.
I would have put my legs up on top of the chair so that my feet hang over her head - shoes and socks off - I mean she asked for it.
Yeah I guess Mike only flies first class, because as a fairly tall guy he should know how bad reclining seats are
"Can You put your Knees Somewhere else?"
"Can you put your stupidity somewhere else?"
Right. I wish someone would mention how unthoughtful and selfish the lady in front was being. I can bet she has no spinal problem. Clearly, the guy behind her could not recline his seat to accommodate her reclining onto his lap. People are quick to comment on the 'reaction' but very seldom on the action. It is sad, but true.
In Ireland, you can apply for a lanyard that indicates that you have additional needs. In Ireland, the staff are very alert to these lanyards and, in my experience, have made my childs flight experience so easy and undetected it was actually enjoyable. Perhaps the US should look into doing something similar.
Weren't you guys the first people in the world to say an intact biological male could choose to go into a women's prison simply because he said so? Yeaaaaaaaah........... Maybe you guys deal with autism that way because you're all Austistic
They have that in the UK too. And I saw some posters in the US this summer talking about implementing the sunflower lanyards there too. Hopefully it's spreading!!
Simple and yet effective.
Yes, I got those on my trip to UK on British Airways
@@jamesjiao That's why it won't happen. Too obvious, too effective, too cheap. Needs to cost extra for some patented pill or personal security guard or something. Yeah, that would do it. Let's do that.
1:00 We did our "what is a service animal?" ADA compliance seminar at work recently (I'm in NY), and according to DOJ ruling, miniature horses are the only animal besides dogs that can count as service animals under ADA, if they've been likewise trained to perform a task for a person with a disability.
Also, I beg you, PLEASE do not get a fake "service animal" vest just because you can't bear to be parted from Fifi as you do your errands. Every time a business puts up with your poorly behaved fake, you're making life harder for people who ACTUALLY need a service dog's help.
NY, you say? Everything going on in NY and your DOJ is making rulings on miniature horses and service animals, eh? You'd think the DOJ would be more concerned about the monkeys on your streets, but I guess when you play Leftist games, you win Marxist prizes.
Correct! I was wondering about that! The horse had little packs strapped to its side and everything. They aren't (probably) emotional support animals.
Um she couldn't have a dog though due to allergies if I'm not mistaken
THANK YOU! As a Service Animal Handler, I appreciate people knowing and saying something! It makes my life so much easier! I can't stand seeing all these fakes because people just want to bring their dogs everywhere. Mine has been attacked so many times that I have almost had to retire her. Thankfully, she mostly takes it in stride. But people need to stop doing it
Except that services animals and emotional support animals are vastly different things and the ADA and the ACAA, and the U.S. DOT cover this. They (The ACAA) USED to cover emotional support animals but able bodied people fucked that up. It was amended in 2021. People do often bring their pets and try to pass them off in places, injuring service dog teams. It's a shame.
As soon as I saw the video title I just knew Mike's flight story would be mentioned. He's like that weird uncle that always tell you the same story every time you see him 🤣
Can't blame him.. it's a cool story! :)
@@MeppyMan For sure, he's right to be proud.
@@MeppyMan I dunno. It was kind of BS to act like a plastic surgeon or dermatologist wouldn't know how to handle anaphylaxis.
Anyone who performs surgery often enough (plastics guy) will have encountered a patient having an anaphylactoid reaction to anaesthesia if they practice long enough.
In fact, any 12 year old with a serious allergy knows how to give themselves an EpiPen, and inform people that they are experiencing a time-critical medical emergency.
All he did was give someone an injection.
@@sophiophile they didn't have Epipen on the plane. He used Epinephrine and injected medicine into his leg muscle, then monitored the guy's condition. I don't think all 12yo kids know how to deal with it without EpiPen.
@@sophiophile My Dude if we're complaining about retelling stories at least listen to it once. Doctor Mike's experience there caused the FAA to make epipens on flights mandatory from the airlines' side. It is most definitely a cool story. He did not just give someone a bloody epipen and then tell the world about it, he actually helped enact legislative change.
I’ll have it be known, as a woman with ponytails, a ponytail going over the seat like that is a movement that has to be assisted… It doesn’t just “happen.” 😂
Ikr😭, all of my classmates had pony tails and not one of them accidentally put it over their seat.
I have long hair. It definitely takes some conscious effort to do that
Even as a male I kinda felt that it can't be accidental
Too bad you can't have scissors because that would be great revenge 😂
@@Unirobo Ah hell yeah
I agree with the hygiene theory 100% When my youngest cousin was little, he would lick EVERYTHING! Walls, floors, tables, toys, etc. He even licked a swing at a public park once. He's 13 years old now and he almost never gets sick. His parents and sister will all get sick at the same time, but he won't. But I am not suggesting that parents should let their kids lick anything in sight.
Heneral daily bacteria is fine, but there are some nasty diseases out there that you can't just "strong immune system" your way out of.
People use too much bleach but... The reason why the average life expectancy went up is because of hygeine practices.
Clean vs disinfected
Almost like there was this thing called natural immunity that protected every human being ever born on this planet for all of time, and we didn't need to give people auto-immune diseases by injecting gene therapies to try and give them fake immunity, eh? Wild!
Was on a flight with a mom and her son who seemed to have autism or some other behavioural issues that were beyond her ability to control. I remember looking at her, trying to communicate empathy and support, but she was in the throws of her sons distress and just assumed my attempt at connection was in an effort to communicate annoyance and she instinctively said sorry. Feel so bad that people who need more empathy and accommodation have the experience to expect to have to apologise for their needs, rather than expect humanity.
Bear randomly popping in while Mikes talking always makes the videos just that much better! 😊
I want to pet the bear! And tell him he’s pretty
he is like the digital emotional support animal
Airline employees aren't government employees. Sorry, Mike. lol My poor Mom didn't realize she had a sinus infection when we were flying one time. Halfway through the flight, she was in agony! The flight attendant was bad ass and brought her a warm towel and a cup. My Mom looked silly, but holding the steamy cup over her ear helped A LOT!
How the flight attendant handled the situation radiates pure mom energy.
Yeah, unless it's a governmental airplane or airline... Otherwise they're just normal workers employed by the airlines, or airport.
It’s an interesting subject matter, though because most airports are owned by the government, but individual airlines are not…🫠
sinus infection and didn't know it!!!??? LOL
Was the pain not there
So nice to hear you saying about the aerosolised faecal particles when you flush the toilet. I hate it when people visit my house and flush the toilet with the seat up. Nobody who lives here would ever do this after watching a video with the UV lights showing the particles, but other people tell me that I’m weird for it.
I now keep my toothbrush in the medicine cabinet instead of on the sink counter, but what prompted me to make that change was other people flushing with the seat lid up. I threw out my toothbrush and got a new one more than once and people thought I was nuts. xD
Personally, I do not put the lid down to flush; I presume the particles would eject at higher pressure with reduced open area. But then, too, I live alone (but for my two cats). I can say if I were at someone's has and saw they keep the lid down, I would follow my host's lead.
@@dennisanderson3895 That makes absolutely no sense. How would the particles get out at all if you have the lid down? That's literally what the lid is for, to keep particles from spraying everywhere.
@@soccerchamp0511 It is not an air-tight, vacuum seal, now is it? Saw a vid of a young fellow in a no-electricity village rig air conditioning with pop bottles; 3 or 4 dozen - they were set so the wind through the larger end, accelerated with greater output through the neck. Particles will be shot out through that small gap the cushioning "feet" on the seat cause and the not-air-tight gap tween seat and lid. (But lid is also good for NOT dropping something and have it go in the water!)
@@dennisanderson3895 You are comparing two things that are totally different. Most toilets don't generate that much force when they flush. There may be a few particles that get out between that gap, but there won't be nearly as many as there would be leaving the lid up. Then you are literally having bacteria sprayed all over whatever is around the toilet.

I was on a 10 hour flight. My seat was broken and could not recline. I just had to accept that I would be the only one sitting up whilst everyone else slept (there were no empty seats I could move to). I did not get upset with the people around me for reclining their seats, I just asked the guy next to me if he was ok with me having a little light on so I could read and dealt with it
I never recline nor does anyone ever in my plane
@@_fishy_3324 Same, I see less than 1% recline when I fly - I don't know why 72% sided with the woman - they probably never fly anyway and don't get it.
@@_fishy_3324 Are you taking international flights or 2-3 hour ones? Basically everyone reclines at some point during a 12 or 18 hour flight.
@@noonyakaleka2098 Basically everyone reclines on 12-18 hour transcontinental flights at some point in my experience. If anything it sounds like you only take domestic flights.
@noonyakaleka2098 Wtf are you serious? There is literally no problem reclining a Seat if it is due to a good reason!
I had a young guy asleep on my shoulder for 4 hours flying from lax to nz! He ended up being a new doctor starting in NZ and seemed exhausted. My bro is a doctor and I have great respect for all drs. Luckily I ended up going to sleep too, when he woke up he apologised!
aw thats so cute
Mahi pai!
I feel bad for the person being filmed asleep on the other passenger's shoulder. They can't help their body shifted in their sleep and didn't ask to be a part of someone's tiktok. Is there no such thing as respecting privacy or asking before you film someone anymore? I understand public spaces and unintentional faces but this was clear intent without consent. Just tap the sleeper and ask them to shift back or let them be, your choice, but don't pull out your phone to film them.
@@FairbrookWingates they said they didnt mind it though..?
@@BedoKGun Don't see that stated, but I hope that's true.
The mini horse is actually a fully trained service horse. Her name is flirty and she’s very well task trained and helps her handler. Depending on the state, miniature horses can be service animals in the USA
I feel kinda bad for them tho bc horses need a lot more space than dogs or cats
Doesn't depend on the state. Mini horses are recognized guide animals by the ADA.
@@Sputterbugz Flirty is literally treated and cared for like a queen. you don't need to feel bad. she is a mini horse, she is smaller than most big breed dogs, around the size of a Golden Retriever or Labrador. Flirty is a very happy well cared for mini horse
About the reclining option on seats, while I do agree you have the option, people do tend to abuse it. In a bus I was in, the guy in front of me reclined all the way down (which was WAY too much btw, what the actual heck was that), to the point I actually had trouble breathing and could not feel my legs. I also could see his face and top of his head to give you an idea. And while I am chubby, I am not overweight enough for that to be the root of the issue.
Of course he refused to give me any more space. I had to ask for help because I was on the verge of passing out while the guy snored.
Tell us your height and weight, please. I'm tired of listening to land hippos say "I'm chubby" or "I'm not overweight" when you're all literally 2-5 times your BMI. If you're a 5'3 female, you should be between 101-141 lbs, and anything more than that is obese. So be honest; is this *YOUR* issue or *OUR* issue?
Lose some weight or deal with your fate !
As a very tall person, reclining seats are a nightmare. They literally squash down on my knees and can cause pain in the case of long flights.
Also it's clear in that video that the dude was sitting directly in front of a bulkhead, meaning his seat did not recline.
damn, when i'm on flights the seat just doesn't recline... cheap ahh airlines....
EXACTLY
My knees hurt even if their seat is not reclined. That's why I try to buy a seat with extra leg room so I can extend my legs. But if they recline it's horrible
A
i feel like the reclining seat issue is moreso a problem with how cramped airplane seating has become. I swear the space between seats has gotten smaller and smaller and it's hard enough fitting with the seats all up (i'm 5'3 and small-medium build). It really sucks because as some people have stated, they need to recline to stretch their legs out or their legs ache horrifically (esp on long hauls), but then the seat behind has to do the same thing or be squashed lol
And on an on until the last seat that is already the one with the least space and UNABLE to recline.
Reclining is rude - and the airlines should make it so that no seat reclines.
Yes, I hate reclining seats
1000%. Everyone is constantly debating about reclining or not reclining, when the discussion should actually be about how stingy airplane companies have become. They make billions of dollars, and yet still refuse to give their customers any decent amount of room. It's like they're hell bent on making flying as miserable of an experience that is humanely possible.
The space definitely gets smaller and smaller because airlines try to maximize their profits by squeezing as many seats into the plane as possible, especially on short-distance flights (1-3h). I flew a lot in Europe in the early 2010's due to a business project in another country and a long-distance relationship and I never had any problems with the spacing (I'm 1.94m / 6'4). Nowadays my knees bump against the seat in front of me even when I'm sitting fully upright and it's extremely uncomfortable (I still don't recline my seat though).
@@thelemurofmadagascar9183 exactly. why focus on the real problem if they can complain?
A colleague is a Consultant Psychologist in an acute setting in the UK. On a transatlantic flight they asked for a doctor, she notified the crew she is a doctor, albeit trained a long while since involved general medicine, she was the only medical doctor who would lay hands on the patient. Two US docs refused to do anything but offer advice because of insurance issues... afraid of being sued. The psychiatrist kept the passenger going until an ambulance crew took over on landing. She didn't get sued.
The reclining seat one is a real problem. It happened to me on the bus. It is very annoying when you are in the last seat, and the person in front of you reclines his/her seat. You have very little space left. If you are claustrophobic or have other anxieties, the situation becomes really uncomfortable, especially since you are stuck in that chair for several hours. And let us not forget that the seats in airplanes are really small and crowded.
On several occasions i had to ask the person in front of me if s/he couldn't raise it a little.
on the other hand, punching someone's chair is not a behaviour fit for an adult.
As I see it, the problem can be addressed to some extent by reclining your seat as well (whether you want to or not). But in this case, in the video, the guy punching the seat (agreed, it is not the right approach) could not recline his seat as there seems to be a kind of divider wall/partition behind his seat, preventing him from reclining his seat. Airlines should be more thoughtful while designing the layout of the seats. In this case, the selfish lady reclining her seat was just being a b****. I am sure she has not medical issue and even if she had, seeing the situation, she should have changed her seat with someone else.
@@Anione111 the lady paid for her seat, and it is allowed to recline that much. If there is a medical condition and reclining seat is necessary, it is even more justify regardless whether you believe it to be true or not. Since it is on the news, I can only assume her statement is verified. The way I see it, if it is a short trip, I can usually last without reclining my seat at all. However, for a very long flight 10-20 hr, at that point, everyone has to recline at some point.
If the guy bought an unfortunate seat that can't be decline, then im pretty sure those seat is cheaper, or it's the airline not taking into account the design of the seat, the blame should not be on the one with medical condition who paid for her seat.
@@favlam1408 Exercising your right doesn't have to come at the expense of empathy, consideration, and thoughtfulness. If it does, it is called selfishness, and not in a good way.
@@Anione111 I did said "if it is a short trip, I can usually last without reclining my seat at all", however, if it is a medical condition, I'm not gonna prioritize someone's comfort for my health. Especially if it's a long trip, then everybody will have to recline at some point.
Your so called "selfishness" can work for both sides btw.
@@favlam1408 Even if we believe she has a medical condition, and she has to recline onto a guy, who can't recline his own seat, hence his space and comfort is severely compromised by her action, it is still not okay. Like I said selfishness has become normalized. I, me, mine. Your response proves my point.
On realizing the predicament of the guy behind her, she could have apologized, initiated a dialogue, and together they could have worked out a solution. One of which could be her requesting a change of seat with another passenger without a "medical condition," since it would've been more difficult for the guy at the back to do so.
Thank you for reminding people that you don't have to clean every single surface in every place you go because of the normal presence of bacteria, which is a statement that would shock my friends and family. See, I have very severe OCD, and Covid was the first glimmer of understanding I've seen from other people because they could finally see how miserable it was to be preoccupied with it all the time. It made a *lot* more people a *little* more like me. But you don't WANT to be like me. I've had worsening OCD my whole life. My immune system has always been weaker than others' - I get sick incredibly easily, and it's brutal every time. There are places I can't go and things I can't do because they involve touching things I refuse to touch - or no access to excessive hand washing. My anxiety is truly out of control, and once OCD gets as bad as mine is, your hope in treatment relies more on lessening the severity rather than getting rid of it entirely - I've been told by my doctors that even a 30% decrease in symptoms would be a huge victory for me. This is not a way to live. So no, you don't have to wipe down every high touch surface in your life or wash your hands every time you think about bacteria or germs. Your body and mind will be more equipped to handle the normal world, and you'll be much happier for it.
I have OCD also. Those who don't have it don't understand that it's not a choice we make just to be a jerk and inconvenience everyone around us. We don't CHOOSE to be this way. It's so difficult and embarrassing to try to even explain the thoughts in your head, why you do what you do. Lots of internalized shame.
But it doesn't have to be that way forever. Thankfully I have improved greatly with treatment. I hope you can find good therapy and treatment as well, advocate for yourself, a better life is possible❤🙏🏻
@@danise1856 So true. It's impossible to explain in a way that people can understand if they haven't been through it. "Just stop" isn't an option - if it were, we'd do that. I'm glad to hear that things have started to get better for you! 😊
Please do not take this as flippant in any way, but I had debilitating OCD for years and have been "in recovery" for 4 now. I just want to say you're not alone. I know you have likely tried many many many therapies, so I don't want to give annoying advice, but doing vagus nerve work (polyvagal theory, vasovagal exercises, there are a few names) to try to balance my whacked out nervous system is what really (i think) turned the corner for me. I want to send you so much love and support.
@@lauramoore8823 Thank you for your support. I love and support you as well. ❤️ I do love poly vagal theory, but I haven't used it in conjunction with my OCD treatment, so I'll have to try a method that uses it more.
So you have a mental illness that causes you to imagine life-threatening germs on every surface, and when the rest of the world dipped into mass formation psychosis and their own mental illness, you were at least able to recognize their behavior was a mental illness like your own? Good on you.
If you *ever* wear a mask I suggest you educate yourself on mask wearing, go back to Spanish Flu and bacterial pneumonia and work your way forward to the first studies in 1979 about how harmful it was to your health and immune system to wear a mask, keep working your way through the 70 or so peer reviewed publications validating these findings and showing how increased CO2 in your blood stream from wearing a mask puts your brain in a state of fear and panic (more susceptible to control) and then finish up with the Occupational Health & Safety of any 1st world country and their *exhaustive* data on mask wearing and the health of workers. Then never wear one again and tell everybody around you how harmful they are and that if *YOU* know better with your germaphobia and OCD, *THEY* should *CERTAINLY* not be acting crazy, wearing masks or telling others to wear them.
Hey, also, PSA for literally everything: working in food service for 6 months, I can confidently tell you that I was one of maybe 2 people that cleaned the spigots for the soda machine regularly. Restaurants don’t always stay up to code. Be aware you might be drinking soda from a funky fountain
Yeah after working food service I’ve always been skeptical of soda fountains. My restaurant we cleaned them daily at closing but I know plenty of spots around me that don’t
Walmart doesn't clean the grocery pickup bins, it's a secret I cannot withhold lol
Mcdonalds MIGHT clean the orang juice machine once a month.
In the 19 months I worked at one, we called the smoothie cleaning guy three times. He was horrified the first time. And used that very slow day to teach me how to clean it, properly. Probably because I was genuinely curious and was totally willing to help. Whoever replaced me did such a poor job the machine got hopelessly jammed and finally died
Can confirm, I worked in a chain cafe for over a year and I was the only person cleaning the soda fountain out of 5 employees. 😔
I love that Dr. Mike actually cares about all perspectives and wants to have all the facts before judging a situation. He truly loves to learn and grow as a person and a professional.
for context on the baby one - under international law, the baby is officially born in the country that owns the plane or the country that the plane is licensed under.
Call me crazy, but shouldn't we have an EMT on every flight, or have flight attendants be trained in basic medical stuff, and not be hoping that doctors are always flying? 😢
Flight attendants are all trained in Basic Life Support (BLS).
When they ask for a doctor is probably a worst situation
I don't know how things are in the US but in Europe EMTs can't administer any medication (or very few).
You'll always need a trained doctor to do these kinds of things. It would also be a big liability problem. I guess they do what they can but asking for a medical professional is always a good idea. It doesn't even have to be a doctor. An experienced nurse that's been working in the hospital is likley to do just as good a job as a doctor in emergency situations.
@@andreapatacchiola1184 they called for a doctor when my brother passed out even though he was probably going to be fine
That would make the airlines have to pay their employees a LOT more. If flight attendants became trained in proper paramedic fashion, airlines would probably jack up their prices by another 10% at LEAST.
6:05 the worst part is they asked to purchase a meal from first class they were willing to pay the extra. They weren't trying to scam anyone or be entitled.
I learned that I don't actually experience motion sickness on planes -- it's altitude sickness! Plane cabins are pressurized to be similar to 4k-8k above sea level, which is way higher than I live at... I start getting altitude sickness symptoms at 4k when I visit mountains, so when I learned this it made so much sense. I always feel sick, kind of loopy, and tired...
As a teacher of kids with special needs, I never thought of being needed in an emergency situation. But I have been able to help two young people on the spectrum and their adults get through two separate flights.
14:09 in 2015 on vine in a video someone shouted "CAN I GET A HOYA!!??" Which means "can I get a oh yeah"
"Is there a doctor on the plane."

LMAO!!! 😂🤣😂🤣🤣
I once had to go on a 14-day cruise with my parents. The previous year I did not have any nausea but that year, my seasickness was so severe I had to take travel sickness medication as well as wear the travel sickness wristband at all hours of the day (only excluding being in the shower), including while I was sleeping. Thankfully the seasickness started to subside after the first week but it might’ve been more to do with the fact that I got a bad cold from my mum that second week so I was distracted from the nausea.
Oh my god I’ve had severe motion sickness my entire life and have to take Dramamine to even go to the store, I had no idea there were patches or wristbands or things like that. I felt like I just had to deal with it myself as even my doctors just say “idk take a nausea pill I guess” this might just change everything
I get sick in the back seat of a car, or a train, on a plane you name it. The wrist bands don't work for me. Hope they work for you
Did you know you can wean yourself off it if you use it right and not feel that way all the time?
I have motion sickness and I reccomwnd pregnancy bands so much! It helps so much for me!
If it helps the wristbands are complete nonsense so you're not missing out on anything.
I take kwells before any kind of travel where I'm a passenger.
11:14 🎵Eww🎵 I love the way she sang, ”eww”. 😂
I would never punch a seat in front of me, but as a very tall man it is incredibly frustrating and even painful (to my knees) when someone reclines into me. Due to this frustration mechanic by the airlines, I pay more for exit row now.
Even worse if you have middle seat that why I at least have a aisle seat so get up an stretch more.
I have a bad back and hatred of being too close to other people. First class is the only way I'll fly, despite being poor.
Yeah I never recline my seat on planes. I have 2 tall family members and it’s a struggle for them. I just don’t think planes are designed well for it.
@@janelbbuck I'm short and usually travel alone. I have no physical reason not to, but I still don't recline my seat because I know how crappy it is. And I have the decency to not inflict it on others.
I swear, it's a miracle that flight attendants and the cockpit crew can tolerate these kind of people
It's a miracle only 70% of them stroke out and pass away after the gene therapy they were all forced to take. I was expecting more like 100%.
“Don’t worry, I’m a doctor… of psychology!”
“And how does that make you feel?”
11:35 thank you! Every time someone fearmongers about how many bacteria are there on the surfaces in public places, I get frustrated, because there are _a lot_ of bacteria, even dangerous ones, on people's skin, their outter clothing, their cell phones, and in the air they breath. Human bodies evolved to deal with that, thought, and unless one has a related medical condition, one needn't to worry about it. For most people excessive cleaning doesn't really do anything except wasting energy and feeding anxiety.
Excessive cleaning can trigger allergies, maybe auto-immune diseases too. We have lived our lives with certain bacteria load, so constantly removing it.. well, it seems to throw our bodies somehow out of sync. All cleanliness freaks I know have some chronic illnesses, just my personal observation. Maybe its the same as with taking antibiotics without really good reason, it wipes all the good germs with the bad.
Yeah. Annoys me. Even know I'm a bit of a germaphobe.
There are lots of things you should clean but a seat pocket is not one of them.
People should consider cleaning their phones, or drinking water .-. or *hands*
@@Mallchad I know, right? As a man, the amount of times I've seen people leave public restroom without washing their hands is certainly concerning.
"Don't do excessive cleaning" certainly doesn't mean "just forget the basic hygiene"
I’m autistic and that made me upset that they wouldn’t accommodate a disabled child with food and even kicked them out. I don’t know the full story but from what I do know and have experienced, that is just messed up.
Edit: some people are fighting in the comments and I just want to clear some things up since i researched the news story. I definitely agree that If the airline didn’t have enough food that makes sense not to serve them, however, that is not what happened as they got served the food. Even if they didn’t have enough that does not excuse them for kicking the family on a baseless ableist rhetoric. They caused no problems to the airline and the airline kept calling the police and EMT. They both said there was nothing wrong but the airline chose to go out of their way to kick out the family. THE AIRLINE WAS BEING ABLEIST.
People act like autistic people can just change. I'm autistic and my friends constantly treat me like I can just change.
And especially when they asked to BUY the meal, not being like "oh, just give us one of those" the mum was willing to pay
I seriously do not know why these people, who are supposed to make the experience better for everyone mind you, decided to just kick them out and not reciprocate or anything. I feel so bad on behalf of the kid and her family :[
I wonder though, did her parents contact the airline in advance and explain the situation? Or did they just suddenly, in the middle of a busy flight, make an unusual request that the flight attendants had no established procedure for accomodating? I'm pretty sure the attendants are trained to not deviate from standard procedures while the plane is in the air, and if this was a sudden, unexpected request I think we should cut them some slack. Of course having them removed from the flight seems extreme, but we don't know how disruptive the young lady had become, and also we don't know how her parents were behaving...
@@suchanhachan Exactly! This should have been discussed with the airline long before they ever boarded the flight!
13:33
If this happened to me, first I'd tap the shoulder of the person and politely let them know their hair is in my space, if they realize, apologize and move their hair out of the way, then no harm no foul.
But if they do the opposite and are rude and keep their hair in my space, or move it just to throw in back in again, then guess where that peice of gum I have in my mouth is going.
I've used the travel bands after having a lot of anxiety that induced nausea, even in the middle of the night. I was also having extreme back pain due to having excessive weight on my chest (causing some degeneration of the disks in my lower back), before I went in for surgery to get rid of that extra weight, the travel bands worked really well. After surgery they put me on a medication that stopped me from feeling nauseous or throwing up and I misplaced the bands, but the pressure points that the bands use still work in a pinch... You just can't use your hands while applying the pressure to your wrists.
As a sailor who takes folks out fairly often, I got a set of the wrist bands on impulse. One friend who was getting queazy tried them after a bit and declared that they worked, to my surprise.
I have a seat reclining story that my mum told me. I was like 3 or 4 and we had a really long flight and I wasn’t able to sleep at all. When we went on to the connecting flight I managed to fall asleep, so my mom reclined the seat just a tiny bit to make me more comfortable. Then out of nowhere the guy behind started kicking the seat really hard. My mom asked him politely to stop and explained the situation. He just kicked my seat even harder. My mum told the flight attendant and she told him off and even told my mom he still had lot of leg space. He still kicked my seat. My mum eventually told him would he rather a have a grumpy child having a tantrum because she has no sleep within the last 24 hours or would he just accept the fact that he lost a little bit of leg room.
Edit May 22: Just asked my mom about the story again today, and the connecting flight was rather short since it was from London to Edinburgh. I also forgot to add the fact he did stop after she gave him the would you rather.
Was it really so hard for that guy to POLITELY ask to not recline your daughter's seat? What a pos.
The dude probably is mentally 3
@@greenapple9477 I was the daughter. How can I be my own daughter? But yeah it was a jerk move of him to go immediately into kicking a sleeping 3/4 year olds seat.

@@adventurekitty101 Whoops, my bad.
I used to work on cruise ships and they would hand out meclizine to the crew like it was candy. It took me a while to figure this out but you can actually train away the motion sickness response. What I would do is start taking meclizine the moment the ship is underway whether I needed it or not. Was I miserably tired all the time? Yes. However, after about a week of not getting sea sick, you can stop taking it and you'll probably be fine without it since you effectively severed the association of motion with feeling sick. Once I did that, I would only need to take it again if we hit really rough seas.
Thanks for sharing
Oooh thanks for this advice!
Weirdly, my twin had severe motion sickness when we were kids but grew out of it, while I had the opposite. I never had motion sickness when we were little, but sometime during puberty, I started getting motion sickness. It has slowly progressed over the years to where now I can't even watch certain films, if the camera jumps around too much.
Done this before while fishing at sea, works very well!
6:01 this actually violates the ADA (America with Disabilities Act)

My mom bought me some liquid IV and we both made a drink from a packet last New Year's and we both put it in a 16 oz bottle. It was still FAR too concentrated to drink without diluting it even FURTHER. So I'm pretty sure one of those every 2 hours would kill me
This is funny to me as someone with POTS who loves liquid IV
THANK YOU for going over that Liquid I.V. thing.
I’ve got a guy that I work with that is convinced that he can use that Liquid I.V. stuff as a substitute because “an I.V. gives you fluids.” I keep telling him that what he’s saying is true, but that isn’t an IV, it’s an additive to water. I’m hoping that he’ll start listening after I show him this
Note I’m an IV certified EMT, he is not licensed in anything medical, yet he still tells me that I’m wrong
Geez I hope your colleague isn't also an EMT...
Hear me out! Dr. Mike should make a stuffed animal of Bear with a stethoscope hanging around his neck. I'd swoop on that merch!

Those motion sickness pressure point wrist bands really work! I can get motion sickness in a car, let alone on a plane, and I could use those and not even need Dramamine. They're amazing.
A friend of ours swears by the wrist bands. Personally, I think it's the mental distraction working: Thinking about the bands instead of the sickness. Best "fix on a boat is getting them to look out away from the boat at (or for) something out towards the horizon. At least away from the boat.
I remember that over Spring Break, me and my orchestra group were coming home, and I was one of the last to be seated, so I had to sit next to this young couple and their child, I was so tired, I got worried if I fell asleep, I would accidentally lean against the lady. I ended up falling asleep, but leaning against the window, they were such a sweet couple and even though their baby was crying earlier, they kept quiet and let me sleep
The story with the teen who had autism made me so mad I actually had to pause the vudeo to calm myself down. It hit close to home because I have a 13 year old brother who's autistic and hes treated so poorly by kids his age and people never want to be his friend because of his habits and how he's non verbal due to his autism. It just infuriates me that the airline kicked the teen's family off just because she's autistic.
@@DoctorKaminonice bait

That's not why they removed her.

My mother recently had a fusion almost all the way up to the bone that let's you turn your head because there was soft tissue pushing down on her spine and the doctors had no idea where it was coming from but the doctor said and I quote "it was causing very severe issues with her movement." and she's still in rehab and the doctor also said that she will barely be able to move her neck from now on.
I know Abrea personally, Flirty is a fully trained SERVICE animal, she is not an emotional support pet. she is a service animal that has a very important job to do and she does it very well! she is an amazing mini horse.
Having a baby in international waters should result in having a nationality from the country you left from and it should only apply to a different country when you are physically on the ground and deliver in that country.
Cool, so she just could have gone into labour on the way back instead
Except a lot of countries don’t give nationality based on place of birth but on the nationality of the parents
Unless you've passed TSA Preclearance in somewhere like Abu Dhabi or Dublin and a few others. Then because you've cleared US customs, you're in the US.
Technically, that's what the original intent of the birthright citizenship clause people keep referring to. The child is supposed to be a citizen of whatever country the parents are citizens of, regardless if they landed in the US or not. This also extends to US citizens who have children abroad. Your child is still a US citizen as long as one of the parents is a US citizen, even if the child is born outside of the US.
ships and planes are registered in a country and soil of that country, if you're born on a cruise ship that's registered in Panama... your place of birth is Panama... even if the cruise was in the mediterean
I think being on an airplane is a health scare within itself 😂

Almost. There is one exception to this rule and that is if they were born in the US, but their parents are diplomats. That is the case for my sister, she was born in the US but is not American. This has caused a lot of confusion, especially in America. She applied to work at Disney Epcot, and they literally asked her why she, despite being born in the US, didn’t consider herself American. Took a couple of weeks before they actually understood xD

I remember one time on a plane someone in front of me had a great headache, plus according to the passengers next to her, recently had surgery. Before the flight attendants noticed, a 50 year old looking woman with a small medical purse walked up to her and gave her some pain killers, checked her pulse, and breathing. I also had a little headache, and she gave me a panadol
I was glad that she helped, if it weren't for her, me and that other passenger would have had a hard time
The guy pushing/punching the seat was a bit rude. But to his defense, he was sitting in the last row against a wall. Those seats are already cramped. They don't recline. They are closer to the seat in front of him than the other rows. The last row against the wall should be removed for more useful space other than to squeeze a few more bucks out of a flight. I had the unfortunate experience of being seated in one on a cross country flight. Very miserable indeed.
For that I blame the airline, not the passenger who reclines their seat. If I'm in the last row, I know what I'm in for, but seriously, these airlines act all shocked that people hate being crammed into small seats in tight spaces with no leg room, no elbow room, and then some people lose their tempers.

As a person who works in the public library system, I believe it. We try to clean the keyboards as often as possible (like a deep, take all the keys off and get all the stuff underneath kind of and clean) but people can be gross, especially when the they know the item isn't theirs.
I feel for the woman with the miniature horse. Miniature horses WERE considered under ADA law as acceptable service animals until 2011, and are still considered in certain cases. If she is allergic to dogs, and has her horse task trained, she still needs that service animal while traveling and should be allowed to have it. Because they removed Mini Horses from the ADA definition, she’s screwed out of the ability to access air travel. That’s super unfair.
oml we get one woman ALL THE TIME who comes into our store with her “service” dog. she makes up some excuse like, “oh, well his vest is at home.” or “he’s a nice dog” or “he’s my emotional support” and majority of my coworkers don’t know what you can legally ask, and while i do know, they eventually just give up and let her sit in the back with the dog.
the dog isn’t aggressive
it’s never barked
but it’s very clearly not trained.
where do people get the audacity???
The hack with neck pillows is that you have to hook em or turn em. It supports the neck better and when you’re looking down such as at your phone your neck isn’t bending down all the way.
My hack with the neck pillow is to place it onto the tray and lie face-down onto it. It's surprisingly comfortable, but be mindful that it can give you a bad back if you have a bad seating position.
Dr mike is the coolest doctor on yt and I'm happy to learn something from him 😅
Okay dr Mike u have encouraged me to be a doctor I just love ur channel ❤️
11:26 Before pandemic I used to fly 3-4 times a year and sometimes get sick after getting off the plane. I then started to do a simple wipe down with disinfection wipes after boarding, and just the table and my hands before meal services. The truth is, they don't clean the tray table and arm rest very often. Think about it, they have 45 minutes to turn a plane around, so they don't really have the time to clean all the crevices on tray tables, seats, and under the seats.
Air on planes are clean they pass though filters and more than half of the air are actually fresh from the outside (through the engine intake). What was not cleaned are the air nozzles.
12:09 I didn't need to know that. I don't want to know that. Get it out of my mind.

Just gonna say that the wristbands have worked amazingly well for me! I have moderate to severe motion sickness (good days I feel a bit uncomfortable, bad days I puke like there's no tomorrow) and I can't take the motion sickness pills, so when I was a kid the wristbands was a shot in the dark and it worked. Dunno if they actually work or if it's all placebo, but I love them 😅
Honestly so happy miniature horses are cleared for being service animals. (They’re adorable)
Mini horses started as service animals for wheelchair pulling and other mobility tasks. Mini horses and dogs are both recognized on a federal level as being service animals. I'm not sure how it could perform a true task for psychiatric though (feeling better by it being there or being calmed by petting it aren't considered tasks by ADA)
I assume they’d be able to do (some, if not all) things that dogs do, like providing medication reminders (be it bringing the bottle or even waking the person up in the morning). They could provide calming pressure, guide the person out of overwhelming situations, get help for the person, circle or sit near the person to give them personal space, etc?
Horses, just like dogs can sense when a person's blood sugar drops. They can also be trained to give a handler ques to take their medications and they are also very sensitive to human emotions, vocal tone and facial expressions. They can even be trained to guide visually impaired people.
it actually made sense for her to have a SA that was a mini horse instead of a dog if they are really allergic
emotional support animals are not considered service animals.
@@horse14t You're not incorrect about horse sensitivity. My concern (as someone who worked in the horse industry and who has owned/ridden/trained horses for decades) is that, unlike dogs, horses are prey animals that can react extremely quickly (and sometimes violently) to stimuli that might not bother a dog. A mini horse is naturally not as dangerous as a larger equine, and minis do tend to be much calmer than their larger cousins, but still I don't see them as being comparable to dogs as service animals. Yes, the woman in this video was allergic to dogs, and her horse was actually an emotional support animal, not a service animal, so there's really nothing to compare. I personally am glad airlines have cracked down on the over-use of the "emotional support" excuse because so many of the animals weren't trained and weren't appropriate on the flights. While the horse in the video appeared to be trained and well-behaved, too many other animals are not.

3:00 - We came back from a conference once and there was a medical emergency. We had 5 doctors with us...all forensic medicine :-) But since there was no other medical personnel on board, they went for it. And never told the patient their specialization^^ He had a heart attack but was stabilized and most likely survived, because we checked for his name the next week and he never came to our department.
But all physicians have basic clinical training for several years and when they go to their exams, they are tested in those. At least they have some decent understanding of what to do, even if they are "just" radiologists or ENTs^^
Former airline employee here. If the woman gave birth on a plane while it was airborne in international airspace, the common held belief is that the baby becomes a citizen of whatever country the mother is a citizen of. In some circles, it is also believed that the baby could also be considered a citizen of the of the country that the airplane is registered.

Ok this is of subject but I work with animals a lot and I can just see how happy bear is in all of your videos. I can tell how loved he is ❤🐶
As a flight attendant myself, I believe the crew on that flight violated the ACAA (Air Carrier Access Act). That law prohibits us from denying travel to an individual solely because their appearance or behavior may annoy, offend, or inconvenience crew members or customers. Safety would be the only acceptable reason to deny travel but it seems in this case she was just disruptive, but that's because of her disability.

I highly recommend ginger gum. If you’re feeling extremely nauseated and even if you’ve already thrown up and you’re just needing something to help you feel less sick to a piece of ginger gum and within about 30 seconds, you start feeling less nauseated. Ginger in many forms works as a great antimetic.
Yes!!! I’ve used that and ginger hard candies for nausea and they both work extremely well.
First time I flew on a high school trip with my classmates I had to spend two hours with a guy I never got along with snoring on my shoulder.

It hurts me to see people with developmental, mental and other disorders to be judged based on their actions and not understand their disorder, since it's affected me personally. I have ADHD, so at school, I can barely sit still, and I'm not organized, even with my medicine. This year, my teacher decided to keep me inside from recess every time I wasn't organized or lost something, even though I clearly needed help with doing those things, expecting me to do it on my own. The worst part is he knows I have ADHD. It's also hard for me to make friends since I can never hold still, and once a kid said I probably am Autistic since I also have Tourette Syndrome, so I make sounds that I can't control. There's literally only two people in that school who haven't judged me to a myth my ex-friend made about my mental state, saying I told her I was Autistic and mentally ill, or from my mental state in class, despite it being a Lutheran school. The point is, never judge a person's true personality by how they appear, but judge their personality by how they treat you and others around you. That's how I ended up getting someone to have a crush on me this year in the 5th grade. Trust me, you'll be much happier this way. Thank you to anyone who has read this far.
I'm so sorry to hear you're being treated this way :( If you have a 504 plan, IEP, or case worker with the school, maybe talk to your parents about bringing this up next time you meet if you can! i hope your teacher starts being more understanding and compassionate. in the meantime, just keep doing your best, friend. it's the best you can do :)
I think I have adhd and I end up staying up really late looking at my homework that I was given time to do in class but my class is super distracting and doing nothing. Then feel like a failer because I wasted all that time. It’s more prominent in high school because I have more work. But in elementary school I liked to go to the library to read I would go with my friend(I was also being bullied), I would also get bored in class because I knew the material so I would read under my desk. My teacher then banned me from going to the library or bring books outside, then I just started talking to my neighbors because I was bored. High school doesn’t care as much and I’ve had teachers allow me to go out in the pod(outside the classroom) to work.
I definitely appreciate you mentioning that whole thing about covering the mouth with tape. I understand the desire to do so but it's a risk they shouldn't take.

as someone with dysautonomia, this sure as hell doesnt work 2x as fast but it does help if you have trouble drinking a lot of water per day, you sweat a lot or the airup thing he was sponored with or liquid iv if you just hate the taste or water or need to get un-addicted to monster or other energy drinks
I had a eustachian tube inflammation last year. I had covid and flu in the span of a month, then about a month after clearing the flu, went on a flight. The flight there was fine but coming back my ears plugged big time and I tried to pop them and it just hurt. Had no idea it was a thing, especially after having been sick so recently
