The medical world is second to none. Just last year, for example, a 34-year-old old man developed an allergy to cold air. There was also a Brazilian fella who surprised his doctors with having three kidneys. And that's just the tip of the iceberg. There are plenty of memorable cases that continue to surprise us to this day. And you can find most of them on the subreddit r/MEDizzy. It's an online community created for medical professionals to discuss everything and anything that crosses their minds (or operating tables) and it has seen quite a few interesting posts during the 3 years of its existence. Here are some of them.

James Harrison The "Man With The Golden Arm"

James Harrison The "Man With The Golden Arm"

After needing 13 liters of blood for a surgery at the age of 13, a man named James Harrison pledged to donate blood once he turned 18. It was discovered that his blood contained a rare antigen which cured Rhesus disease. He has donated blood a record 1,000 times and saved 2,000,000 lives.

General practitioner, medical researcher, and founder of PrimeHealth Clinical Research, Iris Gorfinkel, M.D., told Bored Panda that it might be just a matter of time before we get many more cool medical cases. "I'm excited about a few things," she said. "Let's start with wearable technology. I think this has tremendous importance in medicine. Say a person checks their own blood pressure and brings those readings to the doctor. Blood pressure is a huge thing. It's a major cardiovascular risk factor that is responsible not only for heart attack, but it can also be responsible for stroke, kidney disease, and vascular damage."

"The problem is when patients come into the office, they're nervous, they're sometimes fatigued, they're sometimes depressed, or anxious. And all of these things can cause the blood pressure to go up and give us artificially high readings. But imagine when a patient comes in with a reliable wearable (and I say reliable because the wrist ones are not ready for primetime) ... Then instead of focusing just on the one reading that I get in my office, I'm faced with a dozen readings, so I can get to a better conclusion about whether or not this person should, in fact, be treated."

And these vaccines have had decades of data behind it. I think a lot of people don't trust the covid vax because although there is "years of research" behind it, there's also only less than 1 year of actual data on HUMAN BEINGS. There are a myriad of side affects that have already come out, bell palsy, myocarditis, seizures, women's menstrual cycles have been screwed up or altogether stopped, etc. but people aren't allowed to talk about their concerns regarding these because then they are accused of being conspiracy theorists. And nobody is allowed to talk about natural immunity either...instead now your body is dependent on this MRNA vaccine in order to fight an illness...its been less than a year and already people are getting booster shots. The Covid vaccine has an efficacy of like 30% now after 7/8 months...how often do you need to continue to get boosters? If people want to get the vax, cool..they should. But if people don't want to, they should have that choice as well.

How long does it take to develop a vaccine that is as safe as the one he developed and what are the safe protections? And they developed the COVID vaccine in 5 months. It is not sufficiently researched, it is unsafe, people die despite being vaccinated. Some have major heart problems after vaccines, and were healthy athletes, for example. I'd be the first to get vaccinated if it proved safe to do so. Unfortunately, until now, only opposite has been proven. And I am not some crazy anti-vaxer, I just happened to be well informed about just this one vaccine.

Another thing Gorfinkel is psyched about is messenger RNA technology. "Most people think about mRNA only in terms of the Pfizer and Moderna COVID vaccines. True, they've saved millions of lives at this point. But I think we can look forward to years in advance where they'll continue to save millions of lives, and not just from COVID but from other diseases as well," the doctor said.

"Here's a little-known factoid: messenger RNA research began 30 years ago ... Pfizer was focusing their research on influenza, prior to COVID, and when the pandemic began, they basically pivoted to all the efforts on COVID instead. However, they are returning to that research on influenza ... and with the messenger RNA technology, we could maybe even come up with a universal influenza vaccine that's long been a goal of medical science."

There's another technology that might be coming to a doctor near you which can really accelerate the use of various handheld devices. "Imagine ultrasound technology in a GP's office," Gorfinkel said. "Right now, when GPs want to know what's happening in a person's body, they have to send them to a separate radiology lab where they have to make an appointment, and sometimes wait weeks to get that appointment, and then come back for their answers. But imagine in very Star Trek fashion that a doctor could pull out an ultrasound probe. It should allow us to take a look at our phone and diagnose things like ectopic pregnancy, diagnose why a person has a heart murmur, diagnose acute appendicitis, pneumonia... And if you think I'm talking Star Trek, actually, I'm not. This technology exists. And medical students in modern schools are being taught how to use it."

The doctor said that even though it might sound paradoxical, she's most excited about changing the mundane. The steps that might seem simple can often snowball into big differences.

The moderators of the subreddit were also kind enough to have a little chat with us about the content they curate. "The r/MEDizzy community connects premeds, medical students, nurses, doctors, paramedics, people who want to pursue medical careers in the future, as well as regular medical passionates who are interested in medicine," they told Bored Panda.

Together, they share all kinds of information but according to those in charge of the subreddit, the most popular topics on r/MEDizzy could be categorized into two groups: medical cases, published by those who have a medical background, and posts in which non-medical subscribers share cases of themselves or their family members.

Don't blame them. Although I thought surgeons changed hands a few times in long surgeries. Not saying they still wouldn't be exhausted if that was the case. The concentration and precision would take up a lot of mental energy, let alone the physical energy used from standing and fiddly work etc.

"As moderators, we do our best to keep the overall quality of posts as high as possible. Thankfully, our community is very active in reporting content that violates our (or general Reddit) rules. One of the most popular violations is self-harm posts or gore posts with no case description. Of course, there are many inappropriate comments we have to remove from the comment section as well, but I think it is common in every Reddit community," they explained.

It's worth mentioning that MEDizzy is a project that expands well beyond Reddit. For example, there's a MEDizzy mobile app (that works both on Android and Apple devices) where medical students and healthcare professionals share useful medical resources and the MEDizzy Journal where they provide up-to-date articles from the medicine world.

Got this off Reddit: Doctors carried out a "revolutionary" new treatment where they made a solution from Zed's own skin cells and sprayed it over his burns. And just four months after the life-changing treatment Zed's burns have completely disappeared - leaving him scar free. Spray-on skin is a patented skin culturing treatment for burns victims, developed by scientist Marie Stoner and plastic surgeon Dr Fiona Wood of Perth, Western Australia. Wood's treatment is under ongoing development. Where previous techniques of skin culturing required 21 days to produce enough cells to cover major burns, Wood has reduced the period to five days. Through research, she found that scarring is greatly reduced if replacement skin could be provided within 10 days. Dr Wood's reported goal is "scarless woundless healing".

Usually when a constrictor has actuality bitten and coiled around something, they won't/ can't let go. Snakes teeth face backwards which makes it harder for them to release. And they will keep constricting until there is no longer a pulse. So this woman needs help removing the snake or risk losing her arm from lack of circulation.

For the curious as to why they let it get that big. No access to healthcare. No money to pay for the surgery. But, my ovarian cyst grew from the size of a lemon to nearly twice the size of a basketball in a little less than two months. Once they start growing, they continue exponentially. How do they get them out when they are that large? They fillet you like a fish. My scar runs from just below my ribs, around my bellybutton and to the top of the pubic bone. It will take a year to recover from this surgery.

I had to look it up so I'll share: The milky liquid in that syringe is essentially fat. Apparently hypertriglyceridemia can be seen in people with uncontrolled diabetes and/or obesity.

Not if you have scoliosis. I have both kinds and I am post surgery since 1985. I was the first adult in the us older than 18, to have the Harrington rod type of surgery. Thank you Shriners. They did my release surgery a week before my 18th, and my rods a week after. I've had children and everything I wanted to do. It's miracle surgery.

Most of the iconic pics was taken on aborted or miscarried babies in a studio, taken there without the mothers consent. Working with dead embryos allowed him to do lighting, background and positions, such as placing the thumb into the fetus’ mouth.

Methemoglobinemia. In her case it was caused by using too much topical benzocaine for a toothache.

From the source: “The man’s disease was diagnosed to be phakomatosis pigmentokeratotica. Squamous cell carcinoma was excised, and the patient was under scheduled surveillance and regular cancer screening to avoid complications as this rare disease has high risk of developing cancer, which can involve other organs too, besides skin.“
