For 30 years I was trying to remember why I was sent to stay with my Great Aunt for the Summer I was 7. I knew something drastic must have happened at home but I could not find out. Last year I was standing in my kitchen and it came to me all of a sudden. She lost her husband and they sent me there to keep her company. How precious and now all the memories make sense. Suppressed memories CAN come back .

Thanks for not quitting YouTube. I hate that some company called y'all a failure when you probably own one of the best medical YouTube channels we have here.

Kicking you out because you only had 300k subscribers. I bet they're kicking _themselves_ now. Good for you, Dr. Mike, sticking to your principles. Sometimes integrity pays off.

[ashleyanderson]

I like that you would rather lose your channel than promote something you don’t like. That really speaks volumes about your moral integrity.

I used to work for a veterinarian drug testing show horses. I was a Pee Collector. The horses who'd been on the track (ex-race horses) were conditioned to pee post-race when you whistled 'La Cucaracha". Worked like magic.

My mum had a small patch of dry skin on her top lip that wouldn’t heal since 2018, so eventually spoke to the doctor. Turned out it was basal cell carcinoma (skin cancer). She was prescribed some chemotherapy cream and got the all clear last week, thank goodness! Always wear sunscreen!

A lot of people are way too easily embarrassed by their own bodies so it's hard to ask questions about things like peeing in the shower when we see doctors in person. I'm not one of those people but I'm glad Dr. Mike can be their safe place where they can ask embarrassing questions and he takes the time to answer them. We need to normalize these conversations so we can all be comfortable being open and honest with our health care providers so we can advocate for ourselves and get better care.

0:46 I’m allergic to cats but I’ve always owned one! I didn’t realize I was allergic until age 25 when it started to get worse. I’ve had my long haired cat for 7 years so there was no way I could give him up. I’ve found that bathing and brushing him helps a lot, and doesn’t need done very often. I also make sure to wash my hands after petting my cat and before touching my face. I hope this helps any other animal lovers with allergies!

More than ever needing a doctor with great grades, we need way more doctors with bigger hearts and tenacity for their patients.

Totally being controlled with watching Dr.Mike instead of self reflecting, no regrets.

My mother told me not removing a splinter could kill you. It could travel through your blood and puncture your heart, she’d say. When I was a bit older, and learned that isn’t really how the circulatory system works she said this what her mother told her.

Eventually doing genealogy I learned my grandmother had an aunt who died when a splinter wound got infected. This was before my grandma was born, but I must imagine her parents had told this story to her and her siblings any time they got a splinter.

Thank you for not quitting youtube, I believe you're the most reasonable and realistic doctor I know of.

[andrewmorehead]

Don't quit Youtube. Your content is very informative and entertaining.

Peeing in the shower divides people into two categories. The ones who admit it and the ones who say they dont but do 😂

[daniellewallace]

The memory thing makes sense to me. That loss of connection to a memory is exactly why I can't remember single points of data. I have to have multiple data points to remember so that I have multiple avenues to access that memory. I can remember entire lists of names of people but I can't remember a single name unless I connect it to an existing set in my head.

A boxing fighter and a family doctor is beyond my mind. Managing a boxing carrer is hard enough but to balance three things is absolutely amazing! Doctor Mike is the man

[mjhottmom]

God bless you for not compromising your morals and truly caring for people. Thank you for your integrity!

The pelvic floor dysfunction is so real but I almost never hear it talked about so kudos for that! My pelvic PT got me to stop having urgency because I was doing that “force it just in case” thing all the time.

The first doctor to speak to me about my pelvic floor was a pelvic pain specialist in another city, (who referred me to my PT) not my gp, not my OBGYN, like an endometriosis surgeon. After going to PT for my pelvic floor I’m a huge advocate for learning about it and talking about it, I think it would help a lot of folks :)
