- For today's medical meme review, I'm gonna look at some of the
ones you submitted on Reddit. If they're not gonna be good, I encourage you to submit even
more for the next episode. Huge thank you to Factor
for sponsoring this video. Let's get started, be-whoop. As a doctor, I would never make a joke about an unvaccinated baby, but hey, let me give it a shot. (wheezes) Doctor, one. Anti-vax crowd, zero. "Accidentally hits elbow on table, my entire arm goes into static." Yo, the humerus is not so
humorous when you hit it. Nothing rhymes with humerus, dammit. Hitting this really lack of fat, skin, muscle, bony protection area puts
the nerve really accessible to be able to get hit on
stuff, so yeah, it hurts. "Coincidental memes can't exist. The coincident, 'How
Dangerous is a Slingshot?'" Oh my God, and you got
Mike's, and you got, yo, he got views though
in 12 days, 5 million. My guy's crushing. What does
he have now on that video? 'Cause like, yo, I might
start shooting slingshots if that's the case on the channel. But yeah, how dangerous is slingshot? I can answer that medically. Very dangerous, especially
for your orbitals. "Comfortable, sir?" "No, no, come for food." (light music) Big brain move. Oh my God, that's on a
website called PunHub. That's what I notice about that meme. "Doctor, a person who
kills your ills with pills, then kills you with bills. Wrapper." That's actually pretty good. "Debilitating pain. Putting
the heating pad on high. Your burning flesh." Yeah, you gotta be careful, and not just be careful with the heat. You also gotta be careful with cold. That's why I always say like
never put the cold directly on your skin. Put something in between
it, and 20 minutes on, 20 minutes off is a good rule of thumb so that you don't overcool an
area, that's an actual thing. "Just saw a video and
Dr. Mike..." (laughs) Hold on a second. (Sam laughing) It's pretty accurate.
- That's pretty good. - The correct thing to do is chin tucks and I should do those every morning. So look at my... How do you feel about that? (upbeat music) "You can have a little air bubble in your syringe as a treat." What? Is this cat trying to... This is a Reddit submission.
- Mm-hm. - People on Reddit
really out there thinking that they put a cat
dressed up as a doctor. They can just write anything
and it's gonna work. - You are correct, sir! - Okay, there might be a meme community where cats secretly try and murder you. I feel like I've heard that
before, isn't that a thing? I'll give this one a pass, even though I still think the humor on it is like really low,
but at least it's accurate. And by the way, the fact that there's an air bubble for that to cause an air embolism, like a true air embolism
is very, very rare. It needs to be like a pretty
significant amount of air. "If you smell toast, you
might be having a stroke, a stroke of luck that is. It's toast time." You know what's funny? I've always heard, I don't know if this is in medical school, that if you smell burning rubber, it could be a sign of an incoming stroke. Hold on a second, it's
not stroke, it's seizure. "Seizures beginning in the
temporal lobes may remain there or they may spread to other areas. Patient may experience sensation of a peculiar smell
such as burning rubber." That's from Johns Hopkins, baby! And my buddy John knows what's up. "Yo, they revoked his medical license. Beer, Fanta, Mr. Pepper." (gasps) You know I have mixed feelings when people call me Mr. Mike. Either Dr. Mike or Mike or Mr. Varshavski. Even that sounds weird, oh my God. If someone called me Mr. Varshavski, I'd be like, eh, eh, eh. And Dr. Pepper's not really a doctor. Kind of misinformation. We should have the
Federal Trade Commission take a look at this. Dr. Pepper, I'm coming for you. Mayo... I don't know what I'm looking
at. What does that say? Are there doctors in mayonnaise? - [Sam] Yeah, so you might call this... - The Mayo Clinic?
- Hey! - I'm gonna delete the Reddit.
(Sam laughs) I'm this, give me one more bad meme. You shot what looks like foam
insulation across a building, and you put some dudes in white coats, and you think that's good enough to get me to say Mayo Clinic? I didn't think this meme
review would turn into a roast of your submitted memes,
but boy, is this bad. Back to the memes in just a second. But first, I want to
talk to you about Factor, who deliver fresh, never frozen, dietician-approved meals
right to my doorstep. If you've watched any of
my cooking videos before, you know that despite maximal efforts, I don't exactly have a
knack for the kitchen. And ordering takeout all
the time can also be a pain for my wallet and cholesterol. So I've been on the lookout
for a more reasonable way to feed myself at home without having to go to school to become a chef. Factor has been perfect for me. Their chef-crafted meals
only take me two minutes to heat up before they're ready to eat. There's no prep, cooking, or cleanup. I love how simple it is. The meals are all really delicious and I'm always left satisfied. They also do a great job
at nutritional labeling so you can keep your macros in check. Just a heads up, some meals can be heavier
on the saturated fat and sodium side. So make it a good habit to
check the nutrition facts. There's so much variety too from keto, vegan and veggie snacks,
smoothies, and so much more. You can also customize your order between 6 and 18 meals per week. That's really helpful for me. If I know that I'll be out of town or working extra shifts at the hospital and eating at home less often. Head to factor75.com

Italian blood cells." No, not true. Those are sausages slash pepperonis. By the way, I'm gonna
give you a life hack. If you see no nitrates added
on like a sausage label or something like that, know
that that almost means nothing. They usually then just
add celery root powder, which as a byproduct has
a ton of nitrates in it. Just because they didn't
add nitrates on their own, it doesn't mean there's no
nitrates in the packaging. And that's not saying
nitrates are horrible. I'm just saying in the
grand scheme of things, be careful how they can trick you. "Doctors use their stethoscopes to listen to different parts of your body
because they usually forget where the heart is located." I actually have had patients
say that to me before, like, "I'm gonna listen to your heart now. You don't have to breathe deeply 'cause I'm done with your lungs." And I put the stethoscope here, they go, "What are you doing? My heart's on the other side." Yeah, we could hear
different heart sounds! Here, here, here, here, here. You know what's funny though, if there's a patient with dextrocardia, which they have the heart
on the opposite side of their body, that their
organs can be flipped. If I had that, I would
mess with my doctors. I'm like, "Does everything sound normal?" And they would go, "Oh yeah,
everything sounds normal." I'd go, "(imitates buzzer blaring) Wrong! My heart's on the other side. Do you notice? I'm leaving." "Photoshopping myself next to Dr. Mike. Flying to New York City,
making myself sick, canceling all appointments
until I get one with Dr. Mike." Or, or next time we have a tour, you come out and get a picture, or, or, or don't wait for me on the street 'cause I don't know where I'll be. But if you see me, wave, and then if I go wave back, you can come on over and we can chat and we could do a photo. "Four of my toes watching the little toe take a coffee table leg to the face." Oh my God, this just happened to me. I was in a hotel, and it had
one of those door separators, and on the bottom, it
had that thing that sits, that holds the door open. And as I flicked it up
and held the door open and I walked by, it dropped,
and my little toe sliced on it. My blood is now in that hotel room. All the vampires, go get it. "Is this what private schools are like?" No, they have sparkling water. They have a soda stream
on tap with flavors. At least that's what happens
in the Delta lounges, which I was lucky enough to attend to. One of the last times
I was in the airport. "You're fat, but you're good
fat. Avocado affirmation." I hate that we label
things as good and bad, but I understand the need to. Like I hate that we
call LDL bad cholesterol and HDL good cholesterol 'cause it's like not exactly accurate, but I guess we need to sometimes make things
more understandable. "Me, eat a lot of calcium but
I don't drink enough water. My kidney." (laughs) That's a calcium stone
and they're quite painful. I've actually passed one before. Some people are just
genetically pre-induced to have that happen to them and they have to drink
some special formulations of juices every day in order to help with calcium excretion and absorption. There's also a unique type of
stones called struvite stones, which happen as a result
of some type of bacteria. There's also ones that pop up on x-ray and other ones that don't. Kidney stones are interesting to study. And the difference between
the pain that a patient has when they have a kidney stone versus, let's say like an appendicitis
is during an appendicitis, they wanna sit still,
they don't wanna move. Moving causes pain. With the kidney stone, they're kind of like
wriggling all the time, trying to get the kidney
stone loose or something. "You have to let it
breathe for a few minutes." Hold on a second, hold on a second. I gotta understand what's happening here. Oh, he's saying that the
NyQuil SEVERE is breathing, not take it with alcohol, am I right? That is way too much of a serving, much like Mark Rober unfortunately did when he overdosed and took way too much of that coughing spray on "Hot Ones". And I remember NyQuil is a medication that has multiple medications in it. So be careful with medications like that. And also what we're
seeing is long-term use of medications as a sleep aid like diphenhydramine can
actually cause issues with the brain. So know that there are negative
ramifications for using them and understand that the benefits have to outweigh those risks. "My second attempt at
making a protein shake. What am I doing wrong?" I feel like there's been efforts made into making alcoholic
beverages with protein, and I stand firmly against this. Medically, it doesn't
make sense to make it, quote, unquote, "healthier." Anatomically, it doesn't make sense. Culinary-wise, it doesn't make sense. Mixology, doesn't make sense. Just decide, are you gonna
eat something that's unhealthy for the fun of it and do it for your soul? Or are you gonna go and
try and eat healthy? Like I feel like the blurring of the lines thing gets confusing for me. "Las Vegas, Vegas nerve, gambling, hotels, Sphere, buffets, alcohol." The vagus nerve is the primary driver of the parasympathetic drive, which is the rest, digest, and repair. It should be called the anti-vagus nerve. I'm gonna submit a letter to whoever, who makes names for organs and nerves? Is there an organization for that? Can I challenge the name of something? We're gonna write a letter. They're probably gonna be
like, "Who is this doctor? Is this even a real doctor?" They're gonna see my meme review and they're gonna say,
"Not a real doctor." "Me watching Dr. Mike meme review after having an existential crisis and throwing up from fear." Wait, I should have reassured you. Despite us having almost
no perfect knowledge of anything in healthcare, we still can sometimes make
recommendations that work. And look, cuddling with Bear is also what I do every single night. The connection between dog and
man, it's a beautiful thing. By the way, we have to have a poll. Bear, come over here. Okay, I'm considering
getting a second one of you. Wait, hold up, I'm not... (production beeps)
I must ask you a question. If you want a brother, speak. If you want a sister, speak. - [Sam] I think the answer's pretty clear. - Do you want a friend? (Bear barks)
- Okay, he wants a friend. (laughs) That was not
manipulative in any way. Come here, give me a hug, give dad a hug. We're twins. If you approve me getting a
second one of these giant ones, let me know because I kind
of have the space now, and I feel like he wants a friend, even though he's not
being accurate about it. Also, by the way, Bear lost the tooth. He had it pulled. You can't even see it. But can you smile for the camera? Please submit more of your
created memes in the subreddit 'cause those were trah. I don't wanna say they're
full trash, they're trah. We're gonna get to sh very closely. So please, please submit more, and check out this video of
where Bear and I now live. This, he has a lot of room now.
Click here, check that out. And as always, stay happy and healthy. (steady music)
