Doctor Reacts To “Extreme Cheapskates”

let's react to TLC show extreme cheap skates I don't really like the title and some of these are actually quite unhealthy but some actually make some sense huge thanks to butcher box for sponsoring this video let's get started I'm going to be making a lasagna by any chance if you have any other ground beef that's already left over it's all sold we sell it on a daily basis fresh all the time okay and so there's nothing that would expire oh no about to expire no man we don't sell expired product here you don't want to sell expired beef expired beef will literally have leria eoli all sorts of bacterias in it that can cause a really serious colitis requiring IV antibiotics requiring a hospital State possibly a surgery a colectomy where you're cutting out pieces of your intestine like you don't want that how much would 2 lbs of the B fat be $253 man I will take the bee fat so instead of using protein she's just using the beef fat by supplementing the meat with the beef fat Stephanie saved 75% on the ingredients for her lasagna but then you're changing the nutritional makeup of the food completely like when you go to a store and you buy 80% ground beef that means it's 80% lean and 20% fat here now you've changed the proportions to be like the other way like 20% protein and 80% fat that's that's terribly unhealthy like probably the unhealthiest thing you can do to the food like red meat on its own already has some troubles when you overeat it and then you create heart disease this is like quadrupling that problem now to save money I multi task with washing dishes and cooking meals with my dishwasher I just got to make sure I wrap it really well or else the food will get wet with the dishwasher reaching a temperature of 170° the lasagna will be fully cooked in 1 and 1/2 hours no because you don't know if the temperature is like that all across unlike an oven where it's controlled the pennies that you're saving here will pale in comparison to the one time that you get sick and your hospital bills are out of control that's what I'm trying to say that it's not that I'm judging this process it's just not a practical process it's not a healthy process ideally this should be changed yeah it's good right to be cooked in a dishwasher the lounge tastes like water yeah and the kid rightfully said no if I had a patient that was doing that I would seriously discuss whether or not we can change that and if the patient was not receptive to it there may be a conversation about getting some people involved to go check on the welfare of those children I go dumpster diving in the trash of upscale grocery stores in New York these stores often throw away a lot of very high quality foods including organic foods and really nice prepared foods and there's a lot of these stores in New York that have relationships with food banks so that they don't make waste of this food and they can feed our homeless population in New York just what they don't want to have happen is constantly people just waiting outside of their restaurants because then it creates a pattern where then it it might demotivate some individuals from actually uh going to a shelter seeking Refuge getting the proper help that they might need Etc I'm guessing these Tomatoes got thrown out probably because they among a bunch that had maybe one or two that were spoiled so often the store would just throw the whole batch out it's not like bread when there's a piece of mold in any part of the bread you got to throw the whole thing out with tomatoes or berries you could just get rid of the ones that have mold on them there is a chicken asparagus with two sides here my friends might like this even though I don't like chicken this is dated today what is it these are some the vegetables with a turkey and chicken mashed potatoes and this is a chicken fried rice so everything's in the same pot turkey yeah this is a medley I actually like eating Foods in a medley and my friends make fun of me of it they're like Mike you're eating out a horse trough but I like it that way that's why I get Chipotle burrito [Music] bowls didn't seem too fond of it but that has nothing to do with her saving money she's just not a good cook if my friends came over and asked me to cook for them they'd probably make the same face while pulling expired sandwiches out of a gross store garbage bag might be affordable I don't think you should ever cut Corners when it comes to eating a healthy and safe diet which is why for the last year I've made sure to get so many of my ingredients from butcher box they deliver fresh certified organic chicken wild caught seafood and grass-fed beef right to my front door this saves me so much time and gives me peace of mind every month knowing that I'm getting the highest Quality Meats I don't have to get in my car drive to the grocery store Park push around a shopping cart and then lug everything back home having the food brought right to my doorstep just means I get to eat sooner and easier recently I've been enjoying their wild CAU Alaskan Sakai salmon which is not only delicious but packed full of nutrients it's seriously so good butcher box practices thoughtful sourcing when it comes to selecting their products too which means that I can trust their high quality food is better for me the farmers the animals welfare and our planet they're super flexible with what you can get in your box too and if you're looking for a more affordable option their cheapest box actually has enough food for 24 meals meaning you and your family can have a home-cooked meal five nights a week for an entire month and then some you can choose your delivery frequency too so you get exactly the foods you and your family love all in an

free shipping when you use my link all right let's get back to the show in the past 6 Years Mark has volunteered in more than 100 medical studies and the riskier the trial the better it pays well actually I'm not going to even say that this is a bad thing CU we need more volunteers for our research two studies that I'm waiting on that I have not been in yet is a flatline study this is a really good one what they do is they stop your heart for 1 minute but you still breathe stay there 14 days pays $25,000 but the FDA kind of stepped in and stop that whoa you Flatline for a minute and they keep you breathing and then bring back your pulse through epinephrine my God I don't I can't even imagine the second one that I'm really anxious and really excited and waiting to do what you do is you go in and you donate one of your testicles they replace it with an artificial one and when you check out after 14 days you get a check for $335,000 that's an expensive testicle $35,000 per testicle I never knew that there was a study that did that not all studies are this dramatic a lot of them are more for medications that are well known well tolerated just kind of comparing different patient populations that's why I recommend everyone visit clinicaltrials.gov to learn more Mark participates in so many clinical trials that he gets free checkups every month to see if he's a good candidate for each study so a checkup that's seeing if you're a good candidate doesn't always mean that you're getting a good checkup a good preventive visit during a visit you don't just get a checkup you also get active risk assessment and then advice on those risks so this isn't a replacement for a checkup so what I'd like for you to do is take off your shirt okay and I'll come back in and uh we'll do a brief exam okay okay and also I got to check out your gyms so we'll take a look at that too see I like that doctors laying out exactly what's going to happen during the visit before doing it cuz I see a lot of uh young doctors and older doctors alike rushing through these procedures not getting the patient enough time to mentally prepare to physically prepare for what's going to happen whatever the exam might be being a lab brat you have to be very healthy your Labs have to be in certain ranges and levels and a healthy level to be a healthy control when he says a healthy control that means he's probably in the group that's being held at a constant and not be given the experimental treatment the thing is with randomized controlled studies which is the gold standard of scientific evidence you want to be blinding not just the researchers but also the patients meaning not knowing who's getting the true treatment and who's in the control arm so in a double blind study he wouldn't know if he's in the control group or not your heart sounds regular and I don't hear extra beat so what we're listening when we listen with a stethoscope to the heart you want to make sure that the the rate is consistent not too fast not too slow it has to be a regular rate not irregular that could be a sign of an arhythmia like apib is a common one atrial flutter is another but then you're also listening for the flow of blood that's when we can detect something known as a murmur which is how blood flows through the different chambers of the heart or different arteries and when we hear certain sounds that murmur depending on which location we hear it where it it's most intense we can then decide the area that we're most concerned about so like all these things need to be taken into consideration and then we could order further testing like an echocardio which is an ultrasound of the heart to visualize exactly what we're going on and usually if you're really good with the stethoscope You can predict what you're going to see on an EKG or an echocardiogram because it's a great tool drop your drawers and we just kind of you know examine both testicles we rub them between our two fingers you want to use more medical terminology rather than late person terminology because that can make people feel uncomfortable when you're doing it you also want to visualize the area so a lot of the times I see on these shows they're doing stuff like this like they're almost looking up and not looking at at the region that they're making contact with then you could miss all sorts of rashes hair conditions masses that you might see with your vision not uh with your touch overall it's an incomplete physical exam in my eyes low testosterone levels affect roughly 39% of men a low test resolve for Mark would take him out of the running for the testicular study the risk to use is pretty significant I'm not endorsing the surgery Mark's test results are well below the acceptable range set for the clinical trial when you're seeing a primary care doctor like myself and you're going in for a pre-operative clearance we're not deciding if the surgery is right for you we're deciding your risk for the procedure and if there's any way we can optimize your medical state or your health in order for you to have decreased likelihood of adverse effect effects from the surgery maybe going on testosterone replacement would be a great thing for you okay have you ever thought about doing that well how about asking him if he has issues that could show that his low testosterone is clinically significant as opposed to just a asymptomatic lab finding like an asymptomatic lab finding is not always necessary to be treated especially men of an older age like this is where you got to be really careful with these hormone replacement clinics and I'm not saying anything specifically about this one because this might not be showing the whole visit but just in general to keep in in your back of your mind while it doesn't pay as much as the testicular removal study Mark does manage to land a spot in a trial testing testosterone replacement each one of these pills represents to me a car insurance payment $75 every Monday cash $50 every Tuesday 125 a week Time 4 $500 a month equals my rent and my car payment your rent and your car payments 500 bucks that's very reasonable one of the main things that I look for when I go dumpster diving now are are medications especially prenatal vitamins okay very dangerous specifically when it comes to medications because a lot of times medications are not incorrect pill bottles and may not be labeled correctly and therefore you may not know their expiration date or their dosage and that presents a whole host of problems I think expiration dates in general are kind of I'm not sure what she means by m but there is some truth to the fact that a good amount of the medications if stored properly if stored properly if stored properly could be good past their expiration date for a short period of time and the reason why I say that is because there was actually a study done by the government to see that the medications that were stored in the military bases they were stored in correct locations with the correct conditions 5 years after some of them were still effective and the ones that were expired past that time were just less effective they kind of lost their efficacy and you have to think as a doctor when is that dangerous that's dangerous if you're thinking about taking expired emergency medications like epinephrine insulin these are medications that if they're not effective you're in danger taking an expired Tylenol the real risk of it is that it might not work but taking expired epinephrine when you're having an anaphylactic attack means that you can die you see how there's a difference there A lot of times they put expiration dates on things way earlier than they need to just to sell more products that's not the case it's done in a way that you need to understand common use and when you think of common use most people do not properly store their medications they frequently store them in the bathroom which is a high humidity environment which is not good for any medication medications that are like in gels and in liquid form tend to be even shorter expiration dates meaning they're they're good for a shorter period of time cuz they're more likely to go bad Bingo it's full fic acid which is good for pregnancy I mean folic acid is important for pregnancy it's advised by the AFP and the CDC that individuals who are considering getting pregnant or are pregnant take4 Mig to8 Mig which is 400 microgr to 800 microgr of folic acid as a way to decrease the likelihood of neurologic defects occurring during pregnancy every dollar we spend on anything other than food is a waste wow I don't see the need to spend money on furniture I'm a floor guy I sit on the floor and it's very comfortable I mean to each their own like this isn't a medical issue here what I did was I found some 2x4s and these are Styrofoam peanuts so I just take all the peanuts throw them in there and then I cover it up with bubble wrap and then this is a tablecloth and it makes a perfect bed I mean I just don't know if I would go to say perfect bed I could see a lot of those like foam peanuts move around and then as a result you're laying on the hard floor and putting pressure on your shoulder that you could wake up with uh quite the painful rotator cuff or LA to find good roadkill on the road and if it's fresh fresh fresh and good I'm a butcher I have no problem whatsoever eating something that's fresh and good I mean this person's a butcher so at least they have some experience on whether or not uh certain foods are safe to eat it doesn't seem ideal given that it's not controlled how these things die did a car run over it did it eat some poison then die then a car ran over it you know what I'm saying tonight we're serving barbecued rabbit and a tossed salad made with flowers that we've gathered I mean you could just grow vegetables like you can go to an apple tree Orchid and pull an apple off of it and eat it and know that it's an apple versus like I can't even begin to guess the nutritional facts on a dandelion it was Weeds all weeds dandelions flowers clovers things that you just don't normally eat yeah again I don't know the nutrition fact to those things but it doesn't seem safe or necessary that's the goal here wanted a little thing a little discovery that I've made way to save on coffee I enjoy my coffee in the morning I have made my own little coffee device out of an old sock you couldn't use a shirt you went for the sock they definitely asked for this on the show I hear the producers already he's like I use a piece of cloth they're like can you use a sock I developed a method with rubber bands to keep my soap levitated off of that water it lets it dry it prevents mildew and my soap lasts double the amount of time it would normally last I'm with it another one that I'm with I'm probably saving between $80 and $100 a year just on soap alone I love it you know I think green tea is a really good drink click here to learn all about the potential benefits of green tea and again huge thank you to butcher box for sponsoring this video as always stay happy and healthy
