These Doctors Do What??? | Medical Reddit Review

Sunscreen, swimsuits, football head injuries (concussions/CTE), dogs and babies… the doctors on Reddit have strong takes on all of these things and so much more. I decided to look at a thread about practices medical professionals have started based upon things they’ve learned from their patients. Some of the advice is good, such as having an up-to-date will and the benefits of quitting smoking. Other things, such as making sure you pee before you get inside ANY car… are a little too much for me. At the end I also share 3 ways I’ve changed my life based on my interactions with patients, including thoughts on skin cancer and coffee and alcohol consumption. Let me know down below if you think any of these will change the way you go about your daily life!

doctor mike, can shadow boxing replace daily walking. its covid time and my parents never let me outside so i cant be active, but in my room i love doing shadow boxing and little bit of push up, can it replace my daily walk ?
Dr. Mike: If you have had more than 5 sunburns in your life, you may have a higher risk of skin cancer. Me, who lives in Georgia where it is always hot: *trying to figure out how many sunburns I’ve had in my life*
Hey dr Mike I got a birth defect in both my knees my back knee bone went in the front of my knee as grow older it hurts more my knees move sideways I got a knee brace on my left knee and might need a brace for my right knee with that my leg get numb for no reason and my doctors don't know why but they say if they don't figure out what going with my knees I will have be in wheel chair for life that confused me and worry me about the wheel chair I'm so confused about all of this
After 20 min studying I try to do a few minutes on my rebounder. Not sure that healthy now. 😉
when sunburn was mentioned, does it means the reddish, hurts a lot sunburn? or dies it includes your skin getting darker with no irritation or pain whatsoever? i am often confused with this, since people often said they are sunburnt, but having only their skin get darker and their face doesnt hurt....but then there are ppl who counter-attacked them and said "thats not a sunburn" so i would really like if anyone care to explain what is the real sunburnt condition that may lead to a high probability of skin cancer....sorry it sounds stupid.
Whai is this?....this guy almost talk like he is SCREAMING it the whatever microphone!!!!Get one man .......you have money............
What is bears breed?
Man I really tried to think back at how many sunburns I've had. Definitely more than two but hopefully less than five.
bro i have had like 20 sunburns
On the subject of Dr's level of experience with my illness is so dang hard when you have a less common disease like Behcets Disease. I have even had a nurse try and say that it didn't exist *till she looked it up and the Dr corrected her, I gave her the benefit of doubt since she was new* or argue with me on the pronunciation of that disease *like what?*. Most Dr's when they read Behcets they look at me and say something along the lines of "I haven't seen this since med school" or "I've only seen this once my entire career" or "I have only had one other patient with this condition". Its a constant learning experience for both myself and the Doctor. Its also an ever changing disease and incredibly hard to treat since as he has put it this disease can be different in each geographic region, or whether your male or female can change how it affects you, enviromental factors. Alot can be a factor in how it acts. Then there is the fact they still dont understand what triggers it, where it came from entirely or all of its symptoms. They know a lot, but there is an equal amount of what they dont know that is the scary part. I have a deadly form of this disease and its incredibly painful. We are just managing it right now the best we can since there is no cure. I trust in my Doctor because he has been honest with me right upfront. He was also the only one I could find that wasn't either across the state or that would take my insurance that even knew what the disease is and bonus he specializes in it *granted it was at the bottom of the list of things he specialized in*. Its been nice to have a doctor that can talk to me. After not being diagnosed for the first 19 yrs of my life and suffering then after being diagnosed and not being able to find a doctor who could help me or even wanted to try because its not an easy disease to treat or they just didnt know what to do, it was beginning to get frustrating. on top of all that I was recently diagnosed with Rheumatoid arthritis. I'm sure there are alot of people in these comments section in the same boat as me. It sucks and it is even more sh*tty to have it on top of behcets. I honestly hate living like this somedays and there for awhile I really was close to giving up because the pain is just so intense somedays. However I'm finding light in my life again and doing my best to fight through the rough days. I hope everyone else out there who is suffering can start to feel or find some sort of light in there lives. Find something that makes you want to keep going.
The intention thing with the substances I agree with. Especially with psychedelic drugs. You should think about whether you’re smoking weed, taking mushrooms or even drinking to solve a problem, or to have a good time, relax, learn something etc
uhhhhh. i mean what human hasn't had 5 sunburns...i'd be concerned if they haven't had at least 25....this would be like someone saying i've only had 5 hamburgers. well, that'd be sus
BE-WOO!!
Imma go count my moles now...
Doctor Mike: "Never become sedentary" Also Doctor Mike: "Make sure to get between *7-9* hours of SLEEP every night Me: That requires lying down and being sedentary for 7-9 hours every night Also me: Good thing I move in my sleep!
“Have you had over five sunburns during the course of your life? The more sunburns, the higher the risk.” My entire childhood was me being predisposed to skin cancer. Outside public swimming pool + summer heat in Utah + very fair skin = me getting a full body sunburn.
I keep waiting for a punch line after he reads a statement. Been watching too many meme reviews...
i dont like humans. yes not even myself
Even if I were a smoker I'd have quit it the way he said to quit smoking.😜😜😜so adorable
I think you may have misinterpreted the "only use mind altering substances with a purpose" one. I'm pretty sure what they mean is something like, I'm goin to have wine with my dinner, to help relax or unwind or as a reward for having a good day, it can be very simple purposes, just avoiding it becoming an unconscious habit, which can then grow unnoticed.
The doctors obsessively trying to protect their kids sound like they should be in therapy to deal with the things they've seen.
I have 42 moles just on my arms. I don't tan or stay in the sun much. Is it really that significant or worth checking on?
Dr mike: “don’t have 5 or more sunburns” Me: cries in red hair and a dad who forgot sunscreen
You say wash with any soap before going in for surgery, but I've always been given Hibiclens by the dr. So is that not necessary? Also, my son was jumping on a trampoline and fell, and pinched his balls between the springs.
I grew up in a Latino family and there's one golden rule for going out, pee before you leave cuz we not stopping nowhere to pee. 🤣🤣
My mom never let me on trampolines growing up because I'm hypermobile and especially when i was little i was at severe risk for dislocation. Well, i could go on them, but only by myself, only on the ones without nets (if you look into it the nets actually really increase the injury risk) and i couldn't do any tricks or anything
Okay what about the opposite 🤔 Standing in place for many hours at a time ..? That can't be the best either right? Gotta move , be active 💪🏼
@doctormike does thrive include diets for people with ibs
Am I the only one who's bellybutton gets sweaty? May just be me having lots of fat.
Literally got Thrive Market and Noom Bc Dr Mike said so
@DoctorMike can you do a video on how to break out of a sedentary lifestyle - example setting up plans and goals, etc?
My comedic theory: Gweneth Paltrow is scamming rich people to be a troll. Actual reality: Materialism and ignorance don't mix well. Thus creating monster narcissists that end up being 'role models'🤦🏼♀️. Also, I am using 'goop is poop' in the future. Thanks Dr. Mike for that one!😆
I started smoking when I was 12 and made the switch to vaping when I was 17 (and I’ve splurged with cigarettes every once in a while). I’ve been vaping for over 3 years now, and when I tried to use the patch I was also vaping. It’s hard to stop, I keep making the excuse that I’ll stop vaping when I want a baby, hopefully I follow through. If you have started smoking it’s a friggin struggle. If you haven’t smoked plz don’t do it cause it’s a b!*ch and a half to stop.
Have you had over 5 sunburns? Wait wait wait..... you are telling me that there are people who /have/ had a sunburn... but less than 5? Like I get that some people don't burn easily but if you can burn.... how do you not burn all the time? I've been sunburnt on overcast days O__O (Yes now I am very careful. 4 skin cancers in my family... I'm not longer playing with that).
🧡💛💚
What kinda nuts is he eating?
If you’re going through something or anything everything will be okay go watch doctor Mike to make you laugh and be yourself again I appreciate support and love him so much and no matter what and everyone in this world ignore haters be positive have hope!😇😇😇😘😘😘
“Stop smoking to get all of these benifits” Me a teen: ok I’m going to start smoking and get addicted so I can stop
i dont even smoke but the "stop for dan" sold me
"I dont even know what I'm doing right now." I'm assuming you meant clear cut
5:02 JonTron has 2 exellent videos on this very topic for you to react to.
Dr Mike: Have you had more than 5 sunburns in your life Me: worries in Caribeann that get sunburned once a month
Hello doctor mike, I am from India and here people are not much aware about the protection(mask) they are using where they are using fake masks with one layer of cotton and respirator mask. Could you please provide some clearity on which type of mask can be used as here in India not every one can afford buying N95 every month.
How much coffee is too much?
I have scoliosis is there a way to correct it?
*cronch*
My brothers need to stop for dan!
*"DO IT"*
"NEVER SMOKE A CIGARETTE" as I was smoking a cigarette. I've just been told off by Dr Mike.
For someone with a pretty common diagnosis (Tourette's specifically but tics in general) a surprising amount of doctors Iv'e been to have either never heard of it, seen it, or treated someone with it. It's really surprising.
My friends dad who worked on an ambulance occasionally wouldn’t allow her to have a trampoline either. He got soooo many calls for trampoline injuries.
Who even counts all their moles!?
Me who just got a sunburn yesterday because of my face mask: 👁👄👁
Hello! Super random question. What snacks are good options for someone with breast cancer? I am trying to make a gift basket for a dear friend but I have no idea what a cancer diet consists of Please please and thank you!
Bladder rupture. I never thought about it before, but now that you told me not to think about it, I probably will. Thank you very little... just kidding.
Dr. Mike: lists factors for skin cancer Me: Heyyyyyy, 2 out of 3 ain't bad, amirite!? Dr. Mike: ........
My two-year-old son was bitten in the face by my grandmother's dog(a Welsh Corgi) I was sitting right next to them and hate to think what would have happened if I didn't grab him immediately. Thankfully he did not need stitches and he only has a tiny scar in the outside corner of his nostril. He had been playing with the dog all day long and the dog had never shown any aggression towards him whatsoever. It literally came out of nowhere. So, I can definitely attest to keeping littles away from dogs, or at the very least being extremely cautious.
6:20 Trampolines are simply designed badly. There is absolutely no reason why a kids trampoline should have exposed steel tubing.
What if I start smoking, get really bad, then stop and feel emmediately better
Doctor mike. What i am forced to be sedendary due to my disability . Am i just fucked forever... Well at least i never had problems with weight.
5:02 - "Goop is poop" SMASHED the like button so hard, Gwyneth could feel it. (At least I hope she did - SMASHED the like button again, just to be sure).
Ayo doc, is pee stored in the balls?
As a very white person, I burn once every year, minimum. It’s usually not as bad the rest of the year, but even with sunscreen(sunscreen religiously!), high spf, I still burn. It just has to happen, no matter what I do
this guy is a doctor=$$$$$$$ and now youtube sponsors = $$$$$$$$. chill bro but good job
“Bear in their sleep” Bear: 👀🗡
parents can be very irresponsible around pets. an adult wouldn't yank on a dogs ears or tales . when a child does, why are they surprised the child gets bitten. unfortunately, the dog ends up being given away. not the dogs fault, parents fault. rugby players don't wear helmets and don't have concussions on the level of football. They are not allowed to hit that high up in the body, I think the rules of tackling should be changed
I've had at least 30 sunburns and I'm not even 20 yet...
My uni offers an online sports break. 3 times a week an instructor shows some easy exercises for 20 minutes... I haven't attended for a few weeks now but you convinced me to start again - and luckily the next one starts in 5 minutes 💪
Dr Mike: don’t sit down for long Me: working in an ad agency, sitting 9 hours a day. “okay”
The dog part. So important. In japan dogs owners seem to be annoyed that I’m staying careful when my daughter interact with their dogs... “don’t worry, he/she is he sweetest”
Dr Mike: more than 5 sunburns in your life put you in risk of skin cancer Me a blonde vampire aka walking tomato in summer: am I gonna die?
Dr. Mike, can you respond to anti-vaccine videos by FIstreamr Paul Thomas MD. He’s a pediatrician who I tuned into to learn more about common childhood ailments and was greatly disappointed by his approach to vaccines. He’s “vaccine friendly” meaning friendly to delaying or skipping, and has written a book about his vaccine views. You’ve made some amazing vaccine videos and everyone should be primed to receive the COVID-19 vaccine next year. He’s said kids in schools shouldn’t have to wear masks and that masks don’t do much anyway. It’s doctors like him who worry me.
#stopfordan #goopispoop
Over five sunburns in a year? Or? :-/
Dr mike - “when you’re constantly seated” Me in my wheelchair - *sweats profusely*
@Aura Guard wait if you workout your arms the blood circulates in your leg it’s an genuine question
If you're wheelchair-bound, you could do things like lift weights to get your blood moving. There are workable alternatives for folks whose legs either don't work or just don't work well enough.
How does one try to avoid moles 😭🤣🤣🤣
I know that laying in bed all the time is bad for you but I have to lay down to help with headaches
This is a bit concerning. I have probably on the order of hundreds of moles on my body. Some are quite new... i have had numerous sun burns in my life. No indoor tanning though. Still, i am very much concerned i might skin cancer right now. New moles are popping up almost every few weeks.
I have so much moles
Ooo I have a question! Are all brown spots on your skin considered moles?? Or are the flatter ones more like freckles??
8:28 *sitting in bed for the 3rd day in a row because I have nothing to do with my life* uhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh
*packs bong as he tells us to stop smoking*
I asked my doctor about fibromyalgia. They don't take it seriously. I don't know if I'm having fibromyalgia pain or organ pain.
over 5 sunburns??? i had that many when i was 8 what the heck. but its okay because i dont go outside anymore 😎 jkjk lmaooo
Agreed with never leave an infant with dog unattended, there is an accident happened in Malaysia, few days old baby's arm was bitten off by dog when the mother leave to take something for few seconds inside the house when sunbathing the baby. What a heart breaking accident.
My dad died when I was 4, me and my mum have always talked very openly what we would want in various situations and usually without becoming emotional, but at the start of the pandemic we decided to have a more serious one discussing some of the things specific to covid like if we would want trial medications used etc, that was harder and we both cried. It felt far more imminent than it ever had before and that was a tough one, but we already knew the normal stuff like organ donation, life support, funeral types, it was the specific things covid related we hadn't considered
I completely understand the good posture thing coming from neurosurgeons. Wish I knew how important that was earlier!!!! Sit up straight at your desk jobs, or you may pay later.
NEVER say "squeeze as hard as you can." In a neuro exam, I squeezed my physician's wrists. I held back, until she gave that command. I hesitated, staring in disbelief. My dominant hand was my right, but my left finger tips were heavily callused from slamming bronze strings into a rosewood fingerboard for a couple of hours a day. Sorry, Dr. D.
People keep telling me I ought to pick up smoking (cigs, weed, vapes, ANYTHING) to help me cope with my anxiety. I even had a therapist say I should try the sticky icky. I remain skeptical. But I am running out of other ideas.
I try my best to limit the size of bottle I use when I'm binge watching yt videos reason being I will get up more often to refill it and if I need the toilet I will force my self to pause and get up both of which making me balance out th e laziness with the exercise
Dr. Mike has the most adorable personality ever! Half of the time I'm not even listening to what he's saying, i just like his energy ♥️
Is it weird to be able crack your knuckles on repeat by just closing your fist?
"Goop is poop" 😂😂😂 Dr Mike, you the best!!!
At 3:24: funny that this is in here. I have a HUGE fear that at any point I could drop dead before I go to the bathroom. Idk WHERE this fear came from, or WHY I even have it, but I thought it was kinda funny {the doctor comment, not my fear}
The one time I have had to complain about was the one who told me, due to endo level 4, that I was barren and walked out of my cubicle. The nurse dealt with her.
Dr. Mike : “ NEVER have a sedentary lifestyle . “ Students going to Online Classes : ಠ_ಠ
why did he sound like trump when he was yelling about pee
I stopped tobacco products 8 years ago best decision ever.
I hear my family say that I'm not social enough and that I'm not active enough Even though I am competitive swimmer and get medals on provincials and if I start gaming I do it with my cousin and friends online I also have theater after school Note: the epidemic didn't really hit that hard in my country so schools and sport clubs are open
