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.

Surgeox Report

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."

    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.

    If smallpox was still around today, I don't think there would be an antivaxxer movement. But smallpox was declared eradicated worldwide by World Health Organisation in 1980. However countries all over the world have frozen samples of smallpox frozen in laboratory storage. It could once again get out. Lab leaks can and do happen. (Cough, cough, Wuhan! Cough.)

    Yeperooney! @Batgirl, some older folks I grew up around had the scars. While the mortality rate was about 30-50% (depending on age, type, etc.), it was a horror for them, and excruciatingly painful. They still talked about hte pain forty years later. Fifty. Sixty. They wept to see my vaccination mark on my arm and hugged me so glad that I'd be spared.

    @Debbie Burton, with all respect, if I may say, as an MD? Who considered infectious diseases as a specialty long ago? Read a book. Better yet, read a church register of the dead from smallpox. Go see some kids blinded by measles complications. Check out a Covid ward (unmasked, as you likely prefer)... We don't need the vaccine NOW in 2021 b/c people worked for centuries to eradicate this horror from the planet. Don't be snide. Be grateful that people fought for that goal. And STUF.

    Not true. In fact, the US government made a special effort to vaccinate American Indians. "In this analysis of the genocide rhetoric employed over the years by Ward Churchill, an ethnic studies professor at the University of Colorado, a "distressing" conclusion is reached: Churchill has habitually committed multiple counts of research misconduct—specifically, fabrication and falsification. While acknowledging the "politicization" of the topic and evidence of other outrages committed against Native American tribes in times past, this study examines the different versions of the "smallpox blankets" episode published by Churchill between 1994 and 2003. The "preponderance of evidence" standard of proof strongly indicates that Churchill fabricated events that never occurred—namely the U.S. Army's alleged distribution of smallpox infested blankets to the Mandan Indians in 1837. The analysis additionally reveals that Churchill falsified sources to support his fabricated version of events." https://quod.lib.umich.edu/p/plag/5240451.0001.009/--did-the-us-army-distribute-smallpox-blankets-to-indians?rgn=main;view=fulltext

    Typical. No sources listed anywhere that I can find. Not pro vax and not anti-vax. I just want the damn data. If you want to convince people of anything, you need to post sources. Who exposed them? Why? All ethics aside... where is the documentation? I'm finding conflicting articles, but no actual documentation. The OLDEST story I can find regarding this photo was from 2015 and was written in Russian. The story is that the boy on the left was 100% unvaccinated and the boy on the right was partially vaccinated the day before exposure. The stated goal was to understand the length of time it took for vaccines to totally take effect. Again, I still consider this to be just a story because I cannot find any actual data about it. The only thing I can find is COVID propaganda... and a whole lot of morons who believe it without actually knowing. That's the part that kills me. Without proof, this type of propaganda will make people dig their heels in and solve nothing.

    Can you imagine being the boy on the left, getting photographed beside someone who doesn't have to suffer like you are, to demonstrate that your suffering was entirely preventable? How much anger would you feel toward the caregivers (presumably the parents) who willfully did this to you for their anti-vax crusade? It's heartbraking.

    Such a bullshit. The spread of Smallpox didn't stop because of a vaccine. If you see studies, Smallpox nearly found to an end, when they started with worldwide vaccination. But they told the world, vaccine was the cause for the stop. People who think the pharma industry is interested in human health also think arms lobby has it's goal to spread freedom.

    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.

One of the most popular violations is self-harm posts or gore posts with no case description.

    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.

    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.“
