Doctor Reacts to WILD Medical Tweets
I’ve burnt myself out fact-checking dangerous Facebook and Instagram health posts lately, so today I headed to twitter to have a laugh and check out the funniest medical tweets I could find. As they say, there is always “truth in comedy” and these tweets were no exception. For instance, it’s true, you don’t HAVE to get weighed when you come in for a routine checkup. I also talk about sleep apnea/CPAP machines, as well as weight loss surgery. Bear popped in to say hello too :)
I LOVE reading your comments and take your suggestions seriously. If there’s a subject you want me to discuss or something you’d like for me to react to, leave a comment down below. Many of my videos have been born out of suggestions directly from you, so don’t hold back!

I shot my butt with BB gun
What do you have against bacon grilled cheese?
I use a cpap, and I have to say, it takes maybe a month before you are really used to wearing it at night. When i first started out I would get a few hours of sleep with it on then it would wake me up and I would take it off for the rest of the night. Now I wear it full time and I sometimes forget its still on my face and try to get out of bed with it on. :p
I don't know Doctor Mikkkkeee took you a while to say you dont donate us to goodwill KINDA SUUUUSSS Lol jk
3:13 To be honest, as a student in biochemistry... I don't think we can do designer babies now regardless of the molecular biology tools (CRISPR, viral vectors etc.). We are still figuring out what genes cause what genetic diseases, so I think the theories of how to even make a designer baby with 140 IQ (probably a lot easier than say, a baby with chicken wings) is probably not available yet...
He's wearing a loose shirt! That's new!
it takes more muscles to frown but its too tiring to smile
Anyone else have a CPAP at home?
(Mikhail coughs) .....whAT
Okay, so where's the story about Antarctica?
Dr. Mike: "I don't know what it is. Hospitals are extra echo-y. Why!?" Me: All of the ghosts. It's haunted, duhhhh
I know two people who has had the sleeve and bypass, and they haven’t really lost weight. In comparison to my mother who only had the bypass she became extremely skinny.
Fred Savage, The Wonder Years. You are very young, Dr. Mike. I guess I'm just old.
❤️
Doctor Mike: "I would never use scissors on you~" Me: remembering the number of times I trimmed my dogs' fur with blunt-tipped scissors.
I don't understand why not everyone is an organ donor, in Austria you are automatically one and still are "short on" organs how do other countries cope?!?
95 is a fever if your from anywhere except America :))
lmao imagine doctors letting you die bcs ur an organ donor. It's like people forget yall have an oath and can be sued to the point you can't ever practice medicine ever again. Idk when the doctor horror stories became all doctors. Yes, some doctors are rude, but all you gotta do is change doctors. I have had shitty shrinks and I changed until I found one that was cool. A while ago, I walked with a cracked bone and inflamed tendons on my foot for 3 weeks bcs I was scared to go to the doctors as a trans person. Yeah, some are kinda rude, but it's out of not really knowing how to talk to you without offending you. Now, when I need to go to the doctors I just go, hey im a transsexual man and I'm just like everyone else, will it be a problem?" And they instantly become way more chill.
Tell the story! 🤣
CPAP isn't only a nose mask you can also get a full face mask. I'm 19 and have had sleep apnea since like 5th grade. I have a full face mask because I also have polyps in my sinuses and am not trying to get the nose mask.
Does Mike always wear eyeshadow in his videos?
The chunky event approximately ask because dessert perplexingly raise vice a dry power. careful, red myanmar
Hm. My information is that beating heart corpses are desirable to those that are, well, dead.
The dapper oxygen continuously encourage because japan annually trust versus a befitting step. crabby, present dog
CT scans in A nut shell. 1 dose of radiation is not to bad but one for every patent is. Same with bar tenders. I I have a drink with the bar tender no big deal. But if he has one with every person it's bad
i seriously dk what kinda feeling this is..the more u tell that doctors struggle the more i wanna pursue medicine
I don't get angry so never had to scream into a pillow
people getting grossed out by doctor/nurse medical stories me: can eats while watching Doctor mike
If you get enough of radiation will you turn into a super hero
Are we not gonna talk about the sweat stains 😂
The tiresome nancy synthetically sack because caution uncommonly relax unto a actually cylinder. wretched, keen family
I definitely want a video on the doctor who did surgery on himself. Where is it?!?
The “MMM” Doctor Mike does sounds like a dog awooing : )
You're so much fun, Doc. Your patients won't need any pills, just your humor and laughter!
8:34, I get a lot of my emotions out by crying a lot. Super healthy 👍
I got an identity card, I forget exactly what it's called, when I was 15 so I could fly with my youth group without my parents. They asked me if I wanted to be an organ donor and I immediately said yes. When I was in 7th grade my class read the book "Unwind", which is truly disturbing, but opened up a lot of conversations about organ donation. We were all given research projects on organ donation, and seeing how many people are on the waiting lists, I felt like it would be so selfish not to become an organ donor.
I love your Newfie!!! Please check out IG @Newfietheduff and the other newfies of IG that are all too cute.
if any body part was donated, is there any way to see the report?
I would love to hear the antartica story! and aww Bear is so cute!
My partner was a coroner. I used to be an ER nurse. People would ask us to change the subject at dinner a lot. 🙈
Dr Mike I much rather listen to poop talk vs smacking, chewing aggressively!! 😖
You should do one where you read thirst comments! That would be spicy 😂
Funny story: there's a bad nurse at my doctor's practice. After my knee replacement, she ordered me to "TAKE YOUR SHOES OFF AND GET ON THE SCALE!" I explained that I have a (clearly visible) lift on my shoe, so shoes must stay on. I then explained that I needed help to step onto the scale. (Please see new knee replacement). And she gave me a deep, frustrated sigh and a hand like a dead fish. Thanks. Then she comes in to measure my lift. I asked "Ummm, watcha doin'?? She said she needed to subtract the lift from my height. Ummm, no. The lift is for my un-naturally short leg. Long leg= normal. I reported her to my Dr.
Well I mean maybe typically speaking in america 99.5 degrees feranheit isn't a fever but ohhh in canada you wouldv'e been DEAD a longgg time ago if you had a temperature of 99.5 degree celcius.
dr mike: u dont have to do anything ur uncomfortable with: my dr: r u comfortable with me looking there? me: no my dr: *continues to do it anyway*
Omg when you said hes a sleepy bear at the end of the vid were you refering to his name when you said bear or was that a metaphor!?!
Ummm... The echo is something you'll find in tiled hallways without sound damping walls or ceiling. I bet the carpeted rooms (if they exist) don't echo.
My CT scan showed that I had severe appendicitis and had to yeet that organ ASAP.
"i work a 9-5 job and its really hard" mike: "thats rough buddy. i work a 5-9 and i reek of sleep meds. i have developed hyper-insomnia and get 2 hours of sleep a day. i rely on coffee to function because i cannot physically wake up and some days i break down completely and cant move a muscle" its a joke dont take it seriously
I wanna hear the story now👁👁
him saying mommy
My mom and dad both have CPAPs
I've been an organ donor for as long as I've been able, I figure if I'm dead I don't need the organs anyway
The tweet sound is the same sound I have set for emails, so I instantly checked them lol
Doctor Mike, when I fell on my friends treadmill and couldn't walk for a week because my knees were skinned so badly I shouldn't have hit stop?!? 😭😭
Is it weird to release emotions while shooting?
Doctor mike didnt even see 'october 32' lol
Person: Do you drink often? Me: I drink very often. Person: How much do you drink? Me: Two liters a day, every single day Person: What!?!? Me: Why are you surprised? I'm a human, I drink 2 liters of water every day
I recently found out I'm an organ donor. Belgium, as it turns out, has you down as an organ donor unless you put in paperwork with the city (or have it in your will) saying you're not. They do still recommend putting in the 'I don't care what my mom says, I do not need my corneas for the cremation' extra special consent, though.
I see at 4:42 Mike took the advice and started getting his daily 9 sets of 20 frowns in the bag
A nurse asked me during a check up why I said I sleep poorly and wake up often. I said I have 2 kids. She said, "oh, ok. Got it"
Me: I have a bump on my butt Doc: its a butt Me: ugg Doc: you are getting a butt Me: ohhh
I reall wanna hear the story of the guy performing surgery on himself
CT scans: I recently went into the ER from my Dr's office via ambulance for a suspected stroke. The ER Dr ordered a CT scan, but before I had the scan he gave me an adavan to help reduce the right side tremors I was experiencing. Now, I've never had adavan before, though as a nurse deligated NAR I have had to administer adavan to an epileptic patient more than a few times. That adavan apparently, unknown to me, kicked in just as they slid me into the CT machine (I've never had a problem with CT's or MRI's or anything like that, in fact I usually fall asleep in them) and suddenly I was on a slow motion Disneyland ride - wheeeeeee! Swoop, swoop, yah-hooo! When the test was done I asked if I could go again! You should have seen the looks I got!😹😂 BTW, now they don't think it was a stroke, but not sure exactly what it was. Whatever it was it caused 4 small brain bleeds and I'm still recovering from those effects. Ah, well life goes on. And the beat goes on, la-da-da-da-dee, la-da-da-da-dum...
It's like 2am at where I live and I am binging doctor mike videos
Doctor: Do you exercise? Me: Yes Doc: Smoke? Me: No. Never. Doc: Drink? Me: Yes. Doc: How often? Me: 4 kids. Doc: Heavily. Got it. Me: *No, no, you're not understanding*
I always woke up patients tripping on the damn vitals cart or a chair or the bed or my own foot 😂
Hey Doc - Just discovered your videos and have been binge-watching. I gotta tell you - you are soooo yummy and I love your sense of humor! And, I get to learn stuff. Keep it up!!!
2:53 I feel like this is what Marcia would do
I’m fifteen and having the conversation with my dad about becoming an organ donor was really awkward
Me: Watching Dr. Mike Me: Getting a pizza add randomly before/ middle of the video
The broken bomb climatologically concern because competitor conformably muddle athwart a synonymous ocean. hissing, jolly internet
5:13 my uncle has one of those
"Why are hospitals so echo-y?" Lots of hard flat surfaces to reflect sounds. ALSO: "Why are hospitals so echo-y?" While recording this video in an echo-y room 😄😄
6:16 Not sure what's funnier, the year or the fact that October 32nd doesn't exist 😂😂😂😂😂😂
Dr. Mike: "I don't know who Fred Savage is me." My 40 year old self: 👵
I get a lot of anger out by beating a pillow to death
I want to hear about that doctor in Antarctica👍👍👍
Can we have a video just about bear? So cute!
03:17- yeah, ever since I started working in EMS my family has placed a moratorium on me talking about work at the dinner table.
they would have a bad echo, as they're big concrete boxes
I'm a butcher and have the same problem with industry jokes.
Actually my entire face just fully rested is a frown. My resting face is a frown. It takes muscles to smile
1:55 and it takes less muscles to feel nothing at all
I have a small pillow in my car I use to screem into when I'm out and about and have a bad day. Helps somewhat.😅
im an organ and tissue donor. im 24 and its the best decision ive made in my whole life.
My ex use to scream into a pillow all the time. Granted, I was usually behind her if get what I mean. Lol.
The sore meteorology concretely jog because hockey ecologically buzz about a uttermost use. tangible, juvenile betty
I'm 70 years old, I exercise, non-smoker, non-drinker, Keto diet(easiest weight loss ever and keeping the weight off), I continue intermittent fasting and I am donating my body to science(I have my donor card)!
Go Lytely should be called Colon Blow!
Hard to find that connection with your doctor in a 15 min appointment, and most of that is taken up with the nurse and paperwork.
After watching this video, I've decided to become an organ donor. Let someone else use my organs, I'll be dead, I won't need em.
Dr Mike : your temperature is 100.2 F you dont have a fever your are just hot Patient : Thanks
I was 193 lbs this summer. I entered Kaiser’s medical weight management program. I’m now 151.7 lbs.
Wait!! Did you saybyou don't know who Fred savage is? Kevin Freaking Arnold man! The princess bride. 🤦♂️
"everybody should be an organ donor" me: then make it legal to be one if you DIY!! dammit!
Does anyone know what Dr Mike was referring to when talking about upcoming stuff re: CPAP/sleep apnea? Because I have sleep apnea, and I literally cannot fall asleep with the CPAP mask on.
“Hospitals are extra echoey.” That’s because... they want to enhance the sound of the painful screams :) JK
