Doctor Reacts To The WILDEST Health Products

CORRECTION: I accidentally said "polycythemia vera" at the 3:35 mark, when I should have just said "polycythemia". Thank you for the corrections in the comments!

"Isn't that what naturopath doctors are?"
BIGGEST MIC (mike?) DROP EVER.

You know what I like about the Onion? The fact that you can make it through an entire article of theirs without seeing a single grammar or spelling mistake. Seriously, I try to read the news when I can on my breaks at work and...ho man. Especially in the last two years, news articles from actual websites are all just filled with grammar and spelling mistakes.

I love that the onion gets the absurdity of female contraception and menstrual products.

Big mistake on the aliens stopping by. We all know they roll up the windows and lock the doors when they absolutely have to drive by.

[nitsua-fgmy]

onion is the craziest "everyday is april fool's day" of medical news websites

Dr. Mike acknowledging that OB/GYN don't medicate enough for pap smears and other things has made my day! Doctors should also consider some kind of local anaesthetic for cervical cone biopsies. I quite literally have trauma and cry every time I have to go in just for a pap now.

[Ang-np]

THE IUD. That’s how they feel. It was HORRIBLE, the gyno did NOT tell me how gut wrenching it was, literally. I almost passed out.

The difference between a chrysalis and a cocoon is that:
A chrysalis is the life stage of a butterfly when it transforms from a caterpillar to a butterfly.
A cocoon is the silk casing of a moth that it spins around itself to protect its pupa stage.

Dr Mike has clearly has never been pregnant. "Do we NEED mixed berry tums?" Yes, we absolutely do. Next question.

Onion is really that dark humor cousin that doesn't have any filter nor sympathy

“He chooses to skip the gym for the third day in a row and eat a peanut butter and jelly sandwich.”

…as I’m sitting here having not been to the gym for a week and eating a peanut butter and jelly sandwich

[mkjirak]

Fun fact I just learned in my training about Tums. Antacids are considered a medical device in Europe and not a drug because they directly neutralize the acid without acting on the body in a pharmacological, immunological or metabolic way. I like to think they defined "drug" first and then realized they accidentally excluded antacids and some types of cough syrup.

That doctor reacting to his own death had me laughing the whole time. He reminds me of those videos in which experts analyse scenes in movies and TV shows.

[seghuolog]

The reason why people don’t go to doctors is because you’ll be told you’re faking it; insulted and then get no help anyway. Not all of us are lucky enough to have Dr Mike as a doctor.

1:37 saved me, they did, used lightsaber they did, no balls, I have. God that sounds so wrong reading that in his voice😭😭

Got a nair story for you.

I was on the high school swim team, and for conference championships we held a "shave down party" where both the mens and womens teams did their shavedowns before the big day. Typical swimming tradition. We had a male swimmer who was Persian and was VERY furry; we even called him "The Persian Rug". Rather than shaving, he said "f*** that, I'll be right back". He leaves the house that was hosting the party, goes to CVS, and gets several bottles of Nair. He then fills a bathrub half-full of wam water, dumps the bottles of Nair into the water, closes the door, and climbs in.

The scream that was emitted from the bathroom a few moments later was nothing short of horror-film material. He bursts out of the bathroom, runs naked through the living room to the patio door, flings it open and jumps into the swimming pool in the backyard. The next day, he did the shaving, but the damage was done. He had red chemical burn splotches all over his body, and looked like a nightmare so much so that the opposing swimmers were visibly disturbed by his appearance when he would take off his parka and go up on the blocks for his events.

We still give him grief about it to this day, nearly 25 years later.

I’m really thankful for chili milk. My baby is 20lbs and thriving.

Please note: Mike said it looks like an IUD had a BABY with a thornbush… as a doctor, he should know that they can’t have babies if there’s an IUD involved😂
