  1. I saw a LCSW for a while so I could talk about something traumatic I went through. Because of my trauma it’s extremely difficult to trust people. I talked to her mostly about stuff that was happening recently and how those events made me feel. Trying to trust her more slowly. When we went to go to court, my sessions didn’t help my case, so my parents pulled me out and I haven’t talked to anyone sense. It’s been roughly 2 years since the traumatic event and my PTSD (diagnosed by a psychiatrist, I tried meds but they made me feel like a zombie, like I’m isolated) is still very relevant and affects my studies. Can you please make a video on PTSD and the misconceptions of how victims all have the exact same symptoms? A lot of people also don’t realize how hard it it to deal with PTSD and most that I encounter will say it’s not a real thing.

  2. Did you know that it’s hard to diagnose ADHD (attention difficulty hyper disorder) but you probably already knew. Also fact about me I have really bad ADHD. Question: is it fine to take four prescription medication if you have ADHD?

  3. Dear doctor mike if there are more doctors on YT why not collab with one of them and creat something medical and enternaining. i like to learn about medicine. ^^

  4. My family is pretty conservative, so as a general rule, we don't do tats. My wife has one though. For good reason. It's on the right wrist, a replica for a type 1 diabetic medic alert bracelet.

  5. 4:52,
    I know it's definitely possible to wake up while under anesthesia, and I may have a little bit of an idea of patterns. both my mother and my grandmother have woken up during surgery of some kind, with my mom's being just a dental surgery, but my grandmas being a lot more major. my thought is it could be because of some family genetic, or something about being a redhead. if I had ever had anesthesia, I may be able to add to this, as I am blonde, but as well as waking up, my mom has a distinct memory of counting down from ten, counting back up again, and back down before passing out. I hope this is helpful in some way, and I know this video is somewhat old, but I'm still interested

  6. Please, PLEASE stop calling penises “male genitalia”. It’s transphobic terminology and really hurts people like me who are trans males/trans-non-binary, and don’t have penises, and trans women/trans non-binary people who do have penises.

  7. If my patients (if I had them) have a problem with tattoos at all, even on the face or the neck (if they’re not messed up like a swastika or something), they can find a new doctor. Mine aren’t offensive in the slightest unless you’re unreasonably judgmental, and then you’d just be judging based on the fact that I have tattoos, in which case, I don’t want to be around you.

  8. My friend had a surgery on his stomachs once and they couldn’t put him under, but they could put him on pain meds. So they told him to not look up, because if he threw up things could go wrong. Well during the surgery he looked up! And his mom, who was in the room, said later that he looked up, saw his open stomach, and immediately passed out. Which his mom said that the doctor, out loud, during the surgery, “well that was easy”

  9. Psychologist here. Whether it's medical or not, it's always better to deliver bad news first, then the good news. Your brain is wired in a way that wants to end everything on a positive note, so however bad the bad news is, always end with the good news. (assuming there is good news?)

  10. I started telling people that my Bipolar Manic episodes may include MDP. Completely made up, but it stands for Mild Desultory Psychosis. I was in the midst of a Hypomanic Episode when I said this to a coworker, and it was total improv. Now and then, when I don't remember something outrageous that I did during a Hypomanic Episode, my coworker looks at me and says, "Oh, right. Psycho."

  11. “Go outside, be with your friends, the world is beautiful!”
    Me: *laughs in empty country*

    PS: I had glasses since I was a year old. Not fun. Everyone seems to think glasses are cute, but I hate that I can’t fall asleep watching TV without hurting myself because of the glasses or getting out of my comfy spot to take them off, or not be able to see/read soap bottle labels, have permanent grooves on my nose, have to go to the eye doctor constantly, have to buy new glasses constantly or suffer old glasses that don’t fit me or my prescription anymore, have migraines everyday, and have to worry about losing them. Not to mention the issues I can’t think of or don’t even notice

  12. I know my uncle once woke up during a surgery but wasn't able to move and told the doctor after, he said that wasn't possible, but then he was able to tell them exactly what they did with which tools and they were shocked

  13. To the comment about waking up during surgery at ~ 5:00 : My mum had a very long surgery once (around 6-8 hours), and woke up in the middle of it. The anesthesist screwed up so the IV (the thing they put in your arm?) wasn't well done and it was leaking. Scary stuff.
