me why i can feel an invisible pair of glasses on my face is it because you normally wear glasses and you think yours are still on i need more ginger give me more ginger tetr tetris is my tetris is me game i don't know why i put a little lisp on there question why do your taste buds go crazy when you're sick i don't think it's so much your taste buds i think when you're sick your nose gets congested so you can't smell properly and a big factor in how you perceive taste comes from your ability to smell foods so when your nose is congested and you aren't properly smelling the foods you also can't taste them well i'm sure there's also something to be said about the inflammation that's going back going on in the back of your throat your tonsils that could potentially also cause a problem for you and your taste buds maybe make them a little bit less sensitive and also if you have a congested nose you're more likely to mouth breathe at night which dries everything up can also affect your taste buds multifactorial answer naranjo question to dr mike is it true that it is better for your digestion if you don't drink while eating i have not seen this substantiated i actually

happiest noof in the world tom hutch videos 96 can chest compression stop the heart if the heart is already beating first of all i'll answer this question in a different way not the way you probably wanted it don't do chest compressions if someone's heart's beating the purpose of doing chest compressions is when the heart's not beating i guess you're asking if you aren't sure if the heart's beating well look if the person's completely unconscious and they're not breathing odds are their heart's not beating so go ahead and do chest compressions call for help first of course janine fernando what's your opinion on split sleeping two to three hours in the morning five to six in the evening is it healthy i don't like it yes there is some benefit to taking a little siesta when your circadian rhythm dips in in the midday phase but i think split sleeping like that just i don't see evidence for it what i see evidence for is sleeping seven to nine hours of consistent steady sleep of the same time at night and then if you need to taking a short 15 to 30 minute nap in the middle of the day when your circadian rhythm takes a little dip around 1 2 p.m now we just got to get those napping pods in all our offices then we'll be all set and actually get our bosses to allow us to do the nap arrow jade i have a very random and interesting question is the study of dreams and how they work a profession on its own i don't know if it's a profession on its own but i know there are certain psychologists and even psychiatrists who do study the interpretation of dreams there's definitely like a name to this study of dreams i can learn something too in this video it's called honoriology honoriology honor rheology the study of honorology can be distinguished from dream interpretation in that the aim is to quantitatively study the process of dreams instead of analyzing the meaning merker ermer serious question if ekg means electrocardiogram then wouldn't it be ecg it actually is ecg ekg is sort of the old-school name from the german definition electrocardiogram moves with a k but now we do call it an ecg in fact when i order on my computer i can either put ekg or ecg it doesn't

seen studies go up as high as 90 of individuals at one point in time pick their nose and i'm sure it's more than that they're probably just that last person's being i don't want to tell anybody there are issues when you pick your nose first and foremost trauma the inside of your nose is more sensitive than the outside of your nose so by going inside and they're picking in there especially with your fingernails cause trauma cause nose bleeds especially recurrent nosebleeds because it takes forever for that area to properly heal on top of it your fingers aka your digits are the dirtiest meaning the most bacteria and viruses live on these bad boys so when you're putting them in your nose where your mucous membranes are that's a sure-fire way to get sick in fact one of the biggest things i recommend for people to avoid catching the flu is to wash their hands a and then b to not touch their face means going in the nose one of the most important methods to break a habit like nose picking if you just have a habit and you're not compulsive in doing it put something on your finger like a bandage that you use primarily to pick your nostril because when you do it you're going to remind yourself that oh i shouldn't be doing it because otherwise it can become really easy to just keep doing it and please don't don't go from the nose to the mouth after grovia springham if this

marathon runner in like 10 weeks for someone who's never ran long distance that's really tough and i'm 200 pounds these thick dives save lives but hold me back when it comes to running marathon you jive acureds is it possible that one day medicine will not be effective anymore since diseases like the flu keep evolving and getting stronger the flu does not necessarily get stronger it just continually evolves in order to keep surviving that's what sort of nature's all about that's how we came to be there will be certain medications that will become less useful yes but at the same time we'll create new medications we'll learn new methods of fighting off viruses and bacteria in fact one of the main reasons why we recommend to not overuse antibiotics is to decrease this resistance that's forming i have patients that i've treated in the hospital that they have bacteria that's resistant to every kind of antibiotic that i can offer them that's called a multi-drug resistant organism and that's quite dangerous we don't want these superbugs anywhere near us so let's not take antibiotics when we don't need them when doctors ask about if you've been sexually active what

to 102.5 i tend to stick it out as much as i can just because that will help my body fight off the infection a little bit better but again if you're uncomfortable you might need to take something
