Doctor Reacts To The Most SHOCKING TikToks

Listen to my podcast, @DoctorMikeCheckup here:

You all have been sending me some FIRE medical TikToks, so it was time for me to clean out my inbox and do a new reaction video. Holy cow, was there a lot of good stuff in here. We talk about the Guinness Book of World Record holder for largest hands/height and popping out eyeballs, hypothermia, cartilage on the belly button, spiders in the car, hardcore braces and orthodontia, veins, and so much more. Got some TikToks you want me to react to? Send them to my producer @SamDonaldBowers and I’ll react to them in my next video!

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!

“Here’s the worst part of the story, calling my Russian angry soviet father to tell him that this happened.” 😂😂

The dementia one got me. My grandfather always said he didn't remember how to speak his parents' native language, but then he'd suddenly jump up from sleep and sing fluent songs in that same language. Wild.

I have a similar spider story! I was driving when a wolf spider launched itself from the visor onto my face. There was screaming, flailing, an angry bite on a foot (mine, not his) and then a tree. Car was totaled. Not sure if he survived or not. I remember warning the EMTs about the hairy assassin as I gasped for air (full-blown asthma attack). Family and friends bring it up just like this lol Glad you survived the accident, your dad and all the laughter!

My grandma has dementia and she always says she doesn't know how to play the violin but once she holds the bow and plays she she just flows with emotions

3:38 was so cute. The way he just sat there and listened like a little human is so cute 🐶🐶

my mom works at a retirement home and has some people with dementia really bad but i once went in to visit with a lady who did ceramic painting and she told me her entire life story about how she started, why, what she did when she wasn’t painting or working, things my mom couldn’t believe she could ever recall again. it was really sweet being able to listen to her talk for a long time. according to my mom she’s very quiet and doesn’t say a lot but she went on and on and on, it was beautiful.

The fact he described his dad as an “angry Russian Soviet dad” made me laugh way to hard

[maahamlateefi]

I genuinely had TEARS in my eyes when he said "Pharmacists" because I swear nobody ever acknowledges us at all! But we do what we do for contributing in saving and improving lives, so it's all good 💛🤍

Thanks for sharing your car accident story. I got into an accident that was my fault, thankfully no one was injured and damage was minor, but hearing that even a professional can make a mistake and get in a car accident helps me with the guilt I feel over my accident.

Thank you for the comment on underappreciated workers in the medical field, there are so many working cogs behind the scenes besides Drs and nurses that most people don't know about. I know I didn't until my sister became an RT, and I've seen the times her and her coworkers have been ignored due to not many people knowing the importance of RT

Mike talking to bear about getting a kitty is literally the highlight of my year 😂😂😂

The lady who played the piano is a dementia patient, the thing is that she said she didn't know how to play that piece, but she played it almost perfectly, even though she couldn't remember it.

[danielfernandez]

when you started speaking out all the initials that was impresive as heck!! much information in that brain

[bkyheiselt]

I'm not a doctor, I'm a medical social worker who mostly works with senior adults and adults with disabilities. I had this one client with mod-severe dementia and he couldn't remember people's names, but he could play tons of song on the piano from memory! The brain and its physiology are so amazing and interesting!

[patriciatomilonus]

That old lady: "I don't know it.."
*proceeds to amaze me*

[theresaginn]

I love your spider story. It reminds me of one time my husband thought a spider was crawling on him as he was waking from a dream in the middle of the night. He jumped so fast out if bed that he smacking his head on the wall. He ended up with a mild concussion and we had to tell everyone it was because of the dream spider that tried to kill him . 😅

Mike’s excitement when he thought they were making bear a Pokémon card 🤣 2:02

I have seen non verbal, advanced stage dementia patients start to sing along to their favorite songs after working with a music therapist for some time. Its amazing to see the person they used to be, come back to life with a familiar song.
