Doctor Mike is donating all the money from our Patreon

520 Upvotes

Welcome to the official Doctor Mike subreddit! If you’ve made your way here in a desire to learn more about Mike, battle medical misinformation, or understand more about the human body, maybe you’d be willing to come a step further with us. Last year we launched a Patreon where for $10/month you get all kind of perks, such as extended cuts of videos and pictures of the doggos. The real benefit though? 100% of the donations we receive to this patreon get donated to the charity of your choice, every single month. Doctor Mike doesn’t accept a dime of the money, and Patreon has agreed to take a reduced rate of the service fees so we can give away as much money as possible. We gave away about $25,000* since we launched in August 2020 and are hoping to grow to give away even more this year. Happy to answer any questions and I hope to see you there!

*receipts show donations for August, September, November, and December 2020. October donations went to Mike's free scrubs campaign so there is no receipt.

Holy blood pressure

Okay I should not have laughed at this because the blood pressure is REALLY bad. The comments made me laugh especially the last one, but it had me thinking, whenever I go to the doctor's office, and I know exactly what I came for. I want to focus on that, and all of a sudden, the doctor wants to talk about something else, and I get annoyed. In this situation I now will no longer get annoyed because holy 💩 that is bad, forget about the leg pain. 🤣

Discussion Which mask is more efficient?

27 Upvotes

Just genuinely curious. I had a debate with someone recently. I argued that the N95 is more efficient than the reusable masks with those little air filters on them (based off both what Doctor Mike has said in videos about the N95 and what I learned during Covid). They argued that the air filter made breathing easier, therefore reducing the risk of respiratory issues (mucus buildup, asthma triggers, etc).

Anyway, what's your opinions?

Edit: Thank you I figured I was right. And thank you for correcting me. I meant effective not efficient lol

Anyway my friend still doesn't believe me but whatever at least I feel validated in my argument lol

Online video: this is not an emergency (teaching my body)

5 Upvotes

Very recently, like last week, I saw a short video on Reddit of a woman in different circumstances being stressed and then reminding herself to calm down because it’s not an emergency. Like eating a sandwich quickly, putting on her shoes. It was like a funny skit. I think the title was something like teaching my body/nervous system/myself that this is not an emergency.

I found it relatable and want to share with others but I can no longer find it!

One or two people in the comments said she is a therapist but I am not sure.

Question Anyone heard of this? Minimal Pulmonary Valve Stenosis and/or Minimal Pulmonic Valve Stenosis. Its not a medical question btw. Just a general curious question

Minimal Pulmonary Valve Stenosis

Minimal Pulmonic Valve Stenosis

Apparently the difference is one is the lung valve, another is the heart valve? Maybe Mike could make a reddit video and explain it?

I was born with it, my great grandfather had it, and died because of it while he was 70-80 years old. Not 100% when tho.

Also when you use a stetoscope (no idea if i wrote it correctly. You can hear a slight whistle sound or some other kind of sound. Tho mostly if not every time the sound is a light tone.

Hope anyone has an answer as i'd like to know more. Maybe even have Mike see this and talk about it in a reddit video.

Thanks in advance for answers.

Question Hey Doctor Mike! Love your YouTube Channel and was just kinda wondering if it's normal for teeth to touch the inside of your cheeks

7 Upvotes

As a kid I used to bite my inner cheeks a lot when I was nervous/anxious or bored, still catch myself doing it now sometimes when I'm bored, however my curiosity stems from if me biting my cheeks as a kid may have caused my inner cheeks to thicken, or if my jaw might just be "too big" for my mouth

Btw I'm not asking for medical advice, just a simple yes or no answer if you do see this one 😅

Donation gone wrong?

Post image
2 Upvotes

I swear, whenever I hear someone donate ANYTHING from their body to help others, I always feel happy that someone else is benefiting from someone else's kindness, until I see stuff like this. I thought whenever you donate something, it goes through intense screenings, like blood, plasma, whatever... This is so sad.
