Power of Social Media with Family Physician Dr. Mike | Knock Knock, Hi! with the Glaucomfleckens

For any of you who have never had to do chest compressions on a dying human, it is HARD physical work. A couple of minutes of it and your lungs are blowing up, your abs are burning, your triceps tired (and I exercise regularly). In the ICU, where patients can often have an arterial catheter to measure the pressure you're generating, you realize that maintaining a proper pressure gets exponentially more difficult after about three minutes. This is why recommendations are to switch off every two minutes. I say all this because Lady G did chest compressions on her husband for ten minutes. I'm not sure how smart he was before that night, but if he lost brain cells from poor compressions, it can't be that many. This woman is a BEAST in the best way a woman can be tough and gritty. She looks like she weighs barely enough to get one good compression, and so her effort likely was harder than a heavy man doing chest compressions. Dr. G is cool. Lady G is a badass.

Is it real? My 2 favorite doctors in the same video? LETS GOOOO

It's so cool that Lady Glaucomflecken's gradpa invented the baby vacuum! I had a vacuum assisted delivery just one month ago, and while my baby still has a knot on his head, I am grateful that we were able to avoid a forceps or cesarean delivery. Thank you grandpa!

My favorite PCP was a doctor who looked up info right in front of me in the exam room. It gave me such a sense of confidence in his decisions & he once said, "hold on, I want to make sure I get the best medication that will work for *you*. He made me feel he wasn't giving me cookie cutter medical care or taking a guessing approach to my care. He also took an annual break from his practice to work with Doctors without Borders. ❤

In Denmark CPR training is required for obtaining a driver's license so most people have received training in this. We Also have a nationwide volunteer-based team of "heart runners" who Are alerted when there is a 911 call with a non-responsive person near them and nearby a public defribilator. Hope you Are doing well dr. G!

Dr. Glaucomflecken, if you're reading this, please get Dr. Siobhan aka Violin MD on the podcast We would love to listen to you guys

Amazing that dr. Mike's dad redid med school. I know two Eastern European doctors who came to Canada and couldn't afford to redo school

OMG Dr Mike doesn't take a salary, so shocking🙀, he is such a great Doctor Who actually is in the field to help, what a beautiful soul 😭😭

Never saw this collab crossover to occur! Thanks for having Dr.Mike on the show, loved every bits of it !

Two of my favorite Youtube mentors here. Great podcast. Eyeballs vs. Chest compressions.

My Husband had a blockage which caused a Heart Attack. He had stents put in. 3 years later, he went into pre-op to check on potential blockage. The Cardiologist said “I don’t see anything alarming, you don’t need this procedure if you want to opt out.” My husband said “No, I want my arteries checked.” Surgeon finds 95% blockage of the Widow Maker. A widow maker is when you get a big blockage at the beginning of the left main artery or the left anterior descending artery (LAD). Men AND WOMEN can suffer a Widow Maker Heart Attack. Be aware of any hereditary markers, and seek medical intervention if you encounter any symptoms. ❤

Would LOVE a collab with MamaDrJones!! I've never heard of that birth vacuum(??)

First aid courses are mandatory for drivers licences in my country, and chest compressions and defibrilator use are part of the curiculum

I know here in New York, hands only CPR training is required in the health curriculum and now after the incident with Darmar Hamlin, AED training in health class is also required.

When i work urgent care, I use a lot of humor and it really does work! helps them forget about whatevers going on, and buids a more friendly encounter.

Best doctors crossover I NEED MORE OF THIS

As a newbie to practicing medicine, I really appreciate the discussion on expectations vs reality and human vs internet. :)

While we’re talking about CPR at the beginning of the video, I would also like to ask that we all make sure our end of life and after life affairs are fully in order. When I worked in long term care, I had to give CPR to a 93-year old terminally ill man because his DNR on file was not signed. I’m pretty sure I broke all of his ribs and he died at the hospital about 2 days later. That’s not the end he tried to choose for himself, nor one I would like to choose for myself in similar circumstances. It’s okay to be annoying with professionals with regards to things that are really important.

I am so excited to see this! I was bummed that Dr. Mike didn't react to your Family Medicine Goes to Therapy video, it was hilarious and really hit on some of the things he's talked about over the years.

Thank you so much for pointing out that it's okay for me to not know the answers. I'm so excited to go into family medicine to help with people's decision-making!
