I pride myself on combatting medical misinformation wherever it pops up, and unfortunately, it appears to have popped up in my own videos! That’s right, over the course of the 500+ videos on my channel, I’ve been misinformed or mispoke a number of times. Today, I’m setting the record straight! I discuss popcorn lung and vaping, caffeine in Dayquil, methamphetamine in adderall, sneezing from bright light, OnlyJayus’ thoughts on inhaling alcohol to ease nausea, caffeine in 7up and Mountain Dew, Post Traumatic Growth with Gabbi Hanna, cabbage leaves curing mastitis in your breasts, pesticides on produce, trypophobia, the staff of House MD, and my failed knockout of iDubbbz at Creator Clash!
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!

People often read a term and think they thought of it themselves. It's nothing bad or negative. It's very common and is probably some bug in the human brain. Or could be some beneficial trait.
mike when I got a add your name was in the add and the add was a story when you can’t sleep and you have to download the app😂😂😂 what a coincidence
oof that hair gave me a jumpscare
I have issues with my photic sneeze reflex and I can sneeze 5-10 times or more and I sneeze more with sunlight than just regular bright light inside. When I do sneeze I do so with force.
If you have nausea sniff some essential oil peppermint. Also helps with opening up sinuses and headaches. Used all the time. Women use it all the time. Lol just wash the leafs.
RIP 🙏 🪦 😌
Well the first one dosent really matter sure you just shouldn’t vape in the first place
Do I need to be careful about these products with Caffeine if I have Epilepsy?

0:59 Patek Philippe Nautilus?
Me and my sister have the trypophobia, it literally gives terrible discomfort.
Are you aware that YouTube is advertising “V Shred” on your channel (including this video)? He is an avid source of fitness and health disinformation. I know this video is old but I hope this comes to your attention.
what happened to ur hair bud?
Photic sneeze response works great in me. If I keep almost sneezing, but it keeps going away, and it's driving me nuts, I'll just look at a lamp, and feel the brightness start to make me squint, which somehow travels right through me, and I sneeze instantly. I don't sneeze just from looking at light. I have to be on the verge, and it just won't come out for whatever reason. I've been in the dark at night with this problem, and walked over to a light, turned it on, looked up at it, sneezed really hard, then tuned it off and gone back to what I was doing 😆
The caffeine one cracks me up, because all through the early 80s 7-Up ran an ad campaign with the very deep-voiced Geoffrey Holder, who played Baron Samedi in the James Bond movie, Live and Let Die (1973), and the slogan was: " Never had it, never will!" The things it never had were artificial color, artificial flavor, and caffeine. I didn't listen well as a kid, so to me, all I remembered was "7-Up… Never had it, never will!" which seemed odd to me. Like why hire the guy who never drank your product? 😆He also had a signature deep "ha ha ha" laugh in every one of the many commercials filmed for that campaign. They're on YouTube, or course. Anyway, I laughed, because those commercials played all the time through my formative years, so it's still drilled into my head that 7-Up doesn't have caffeine, and never will.
Nice travel time doc.
SKIP TO 10:00 IF YOU HAVE TRYPOPHOBIA
On the House stuff. Well it's a medical drama so they didn't wanna cast side characters that they had to pay. Seeing as how much they use the MRI machine, they'll need several consistent side characters that can act and "know what they're doing" on the machine.
Not that there aren't possible environmental factors, but looking at a bright while in anticipation for a sneeze does not consistently work for me. It would be interesting to see a study to verify what happens in the brain during an MRI and while needing a sneeze, or the difference in the effect based off a sneeze promoted by pollen or other natural allergens, or just the need to sneeze from dust.
Had this on in the background and glanced over at the point when that mastitis picture was up and saw it completely out of context. I almost fell out of my chair because I thought Dr. Mike was addressing the old Russian grandma's tale about how cabbage can make breasts bigger. 😂
Dude, if I found out there's caffeine in my migraine medicine, I'd be mad.
I usually use pain relievers because when I've got a migraine it's because of either caffeine withdrawal (which I can deduce and get a little bit of it into my system – usually after stressful and tiring study periods) which eventually cease after I stop drinking caffeinated drinks for 2-3 weeks OR because of my genetically inherited migraines ( happens rarely ) that get waaaaay worse with stimulants to the point where I literally can't "see" anything except in my very most central vision.
When this happens, I can't drive, read, watch films, play sports and anything else that relies on being able to recognize what you're seeing infront of you.
as a fellow healthcare provider (paramedic in germany) it´s encouraging to see this degree of reflection and discussing own mistakes. I try to encourage my trainees to reflect theior own actions (either good or bad) and i try to reflect my decisions aswell. it´s hard and often uncomfortable. Thank you for encouraging this behaviour!
Someone i can trust is someone who actually points out their mistakes ! Also dayquil has that pseudoephedrine some have a different versions must be depending on the country and i always found it sometimes much at work when a 90 yr old with congestive heart fairlure would get something with pseudoephedrine in it 😬
woah i forgot he shaved his head 😭
The looking at bright lights to basically get a sneeze trigger to “Trip” actually works for me…big time!!! To me there are not more of a frustrating feeling then walking around with a sneeze that doesn’t quite make it out…and then satisfyingly looking at a bright pulls the trigger!!! It can ALMOST be, and I know this will probably sound inappropriate…orgasmic!!!
