There are over 25 movies in the MCU, so today I decided to take a look at a few of the medical scenes that have popped up in Captain America: The First Avenger, Thor, Iron Man, and Doctor Strange. Disney spares no expense in making these Marvel movies, but how thorough are they with their medical accuracy? Sure, we can suspend our disbelief on plenty of things, such as Doctor Steve Strange entering his astral state to assist in surgery on himself, but there are other things I just can’t let slide, such as when to do CHEST COMPRESSIONS, CHEST COMPRESSIONS, CHEST COMPRESSIONS! Are there any other scenes in Marvel movies or shows you think I should react to? Let me know down below!

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!

    Dr. Mike for New Marvel Superhero🤌🏻✨ with the power of sarcasm and chest compressions.
  • @jessie6686
    Watching Mike's smile get bigger as Chris Evans comes out of the chamber made me laugh so much!!!!
  • My father was getting a colonoscopy, but the medicine to put him asleep didn’t work. But he didn’t know if that was supposed to happen so he went through the entire procedure awake. Then at the end he said “Am I supposed to be asleep..?”. And the doctors freaked out.
  • "Okay, he's flat lining. If she takes out the paddles, I will scream." The next second "SHE'S TAKING OUT THE PADDLES! STOP CHARGING THEM YOU DON'T SHOCK ASYSTOLE!" Then comes my favourite part "CHEST COMPRESSIONS CHEST COMPRESSIONS CHEST COMPRESSIONS!!"
  • “That’s not a good area to bleed from because that’s where the heart is” THANK YOU DOCTOR!🤝
  • Marvel: Destroys all basic medical knowledge and alters the laws of physics itself Doctor Mike: Wait that's illegal!

    7:27 - Orthopedic surgeon here, those are called surgical loupes. The ones they used in the movie are Zumax SLF 2,5 and there is nothing wrong with their position, what you see here it’s called a declination angle. If the loupes were covering his field of vision they would have forced the surgeon to tilt his head forward leading to neck pain.

    I’m a physiotherapist but I can share something, the needles on Dr strange hands at 8:37 are basically just external fixation that have the same use as the internal needles in ORIF operations for broken bones (aka Open Reduction & Internal Fixation) they just keep the bones immobilized until fully healed I’ve seen it once on tibial fracture but never on hands though..

    Mike: "Ok, he's flatlining. If they pull out the paddles I will scream" Me: oh no...
  • @minnieegg363
    Dr Mike's face throughout Captain America's transformation is the start of a legendary meme.
  • @Just-Joeying
    Just a fun thing I learned in university— Tony Stark turning to face the blast directly might’ve actually helped reduce the damage to his ear drums. When something explodes or there is a loud bang and someone turns their head away, they often turn it to the side and expose one ear to the direct blast—way more likely to mess up your ear drum. We had to be warned of this in a chemistry demonstration of igniting different types of combustible gas in balloons lol

    When I was 6 years old, I had surgery to remove my tonsils and I woke up during it. It was easily one of the most terrifying experiences of my life.
  • @vironx22
    Loved the freakout when he called her bringing out the paddles. Maybe he should go to Hollywood and show them some accuracy, before he gets a heart attack from all their failed resuscitations
  • @ibrahimaziz2365
    Dr Mike, I'm writing this comment here because this is your latest video. I wanted to tell you how grateful I am to you. Because of your videos explaining the importance of CPR and chest compressions I was able to save my mother when she had collapsed due to syncope from aortic stenosis. She had choked on water she was drinking while this happened and was not apparently breathing. Thank you so much for spreading knowledge about medical matters to the public. God bless you always.
  • @Mis7erSeven
    I just knew it that the last scene would get you :D But for the movie it was actually good that Christine did it wrong because while Strange was on the table, his astral form was fighting some bad guy and the electricity of the shock helped him survive this fight.
  • @sk-wx1cf
    It makes me laugh so much to see Dr Mike have a meltdown over the inaccuracies!!! 🤣🤣🤣
  • @hitasree2007
    The fact that Dr.Strange has the most inaccurate medicals scenes is such a mood
  • As a med student, my favourite line in this video was "YOU DON'T SHOCK ASYSTOLE!!!'
