What Is The Future For Vaccines (and Trust)? Medlife Crisis 2021-12-28 | I asked myself why I've only made 3 COVID-related videos this year, and the answers made me worried about the future.This is my second video in a row that could be listened to as a podcast. So stop pestering me about still not having gotten around to starting that podcast. This is actually supreme efficiency pal. But seriously, I know it's kinda boring, it would make me happy if you just stuck it at x2 speed.I haven't watched this back fully but I hope my message came across reasonably clearly. The last thing I would want to be doing is stoking the culture wars or misinformation which both surround COVID topics, especially vaccination. I'm just trying to say that...shit's complicated, ya get me?References from the video:ICNARC data (UK ICUs) data: icnarc.org/Our-Audit/Audits/Cmp/ReportsUK briefing with data showing booster efficacy dropping off to 40% after 2.5 months: assets.publishing.service.gov.uk/government/uploads/system/uploads/attachment_data/file/1043807/technical-briefing-33.pdfMyocarditis risk vs COVID myocarditis risk: nature.com/articles/s41591-021-01630-0.pdfPreprint of subsequent breakdown: medrxiv.org/content/10.1101/2021.12.23.21268276v1.full.pdfCDC guidance on children: cdc.gov/vaccines/covid-19/planning/children.html-----------------More Medlife Crisis:http://www.medlifecrisis.co.uktwitter.com/medcrisisyoutube.com/channel/UCXFgI0Lgrwc_fY2ttqQ9Yhgwatchnebula.com/medlifecrisisinstagram.com/medcrisisfacebook.com/Medlifecrisis

When Social Media Doctors Get Mixed Up With NFTs Medlife Crisis 2022-04-17 | The perils of being a medical influencer... I'm not saying this is an NFT scam. But the pre-test probability is high. With the added bonus of being an antivax fundraiser...oh dear.I can't actually recall how I found this, I just stumbled on it on twitter and had no idea what I was watching. The videos at the time had about 100 views each, the first one has now ticked past 180k views. One MIGHT suggest that I had secretly invested in these NFTs and I've just given them free publicity...muahaha. Well not really, as they're not on sale yet. Plus I'm not that smart anyway.Sign up for my free newsletter: medlife.substack.comI hope it's evident that I am not seeking drama and am working on the assumption that most/all of these medfluencers didn't get the full story, but I'd probably recommend others give NFTs a wide berth. Wanting to raise money for charity is a noble goal, but there are ways to do it without all this scammy overlay. NFT minting is ultimately a way of raising money from gullible people who receive very little in exchange. If the goal is delivering healthcare to remote areas, again the web3 angle seems unnecessary.twitter.com/MedCrisis/status/1514373761469980677metadocsnft.comMillion rupee studio a reference to @CoffeezillaDan Olson a reference to his phenomenal video about NFTs @FoldingIdeas youtu.be/YQ_xWvX1n9g-----------------More Medlife Crisis:http://www.medlifecrisis.co.uktwitter.com/medcrisisyoutube.com/channel/UCXFgI0Lgrwc_fY2ttqQ9Yhgwatchnebula.com/medlifecrisisinstagram.com/medcrisisfacebook.com/Medlifecrisis

I've wanted to do a parabolic flight ever since I watched 'The Making of Apollo 13' (the movie not the actual event) as a kid and learnt how they filmed it.

The first on that list is subtitles, which I'm going to do my best to provide for every video if I can. Sometimes they're uploaded a bit last minute/impromptu and I'll endeavour to get them up afterwards, but I'm now working with a company to get subtitles in place before publication if possible.

Statins Explained in 10 Minutes (by a cardiologist) Medlife Crisis 2021-04-09 | I've tried to boil down one of the most complicated topics in medicine to a YouTube length. Let's hope it worked! Statins are the most prescribed medication in the world but most of what I read and watch online is either completely vague so as to be useless, or just plain wrong.This is one of the most requested topics I get, and while not the most exciting, it's an important one. So I hope it helps at least one person make a decision.I wanted to keep it short to ensure people actually watched - an in-depth lecture would of course have offered the chance to really dive into the details but my objective here is to help as many people as possible.If you find statins confusing, you're not alone! Cardiologists and GPs probably prescribe these more often than anyone else and yet even I took a long time to really understand the enormous mass of data and coverage (which of course is impossible to read in its entirety). I want to specifically credit Professor Darrel Francis from Imperial College in London for helping me see statins in the kind of reference frame that I present in the video. Prior to that, my understanding was that kind of vague "oh this will help you, probably. I think." that you might get if you just read guidelines, which of course exist to maximise health for a whole population.References:thelancet.com/journals/lancet/article/PIIS0140-6736(16)31357-5/fulltextthelancet.com/pdfs/journals/lancet/PIIS0140-6736(10)61350-5.pdfSAMSON n=1 study: nejm.org/doi/full/10.1056/NEJMc2031173sciencemediacentre.org/expert-reaction-to-analysis-of-clinical-trial-data-on-cholesterol-lowering-drugs-and-targets-for-bad-cholesterol-levels/?cli_action=1617720731.908-----------------More Medlife Crisis:http://www.medlifecrisis.co.uktwitter.com/medcrisisyoutube.com/channel/UCXFgI0Lgrwc_fY2ttqQ9Yhgwatchnebula.com/medlifecrisisinstagram.com/medcrisisfacebook.com/Medlifecrisis

Does Cupping Work? Doc vs The Rock - Pseudoscience Royal Rumble! Medlife Crisis 2021-03-05 | Dwayne 'The Rock' Johnson went a'cuppin. Does this alternative medicine technique actually work? But more importantly, let's go through some ways to think about unproven therapies so that you can try, or avoid things, with an informed decision.The five lessons:1. Who should prove what2. Placebo ain't a dirty word, but...3. Old doesn't mean good4. Celebs need to watch what they're promoting5.

Doctor Asks: Should We Really Be Opening Schools? Medlife Crisis 2021-02-25 | This is a really complex but immensely important topic. Written and shot on 25th Feb with the most up to date evidence I can find. As a parent and as a doctor treating COVID inpatients, I've been keeping close tabs on this subject for a while and it has become increasingly fractious and polarised. I have attempted to take as neutral and as evidence-based a view as possible, but there are no black and white clear answers.Apologies for the basic nature of the video, I spent what time I had today researching and filming, meaning there was none left to make it look fancy and you are stuck with my bookshelf as a backdrop, and a zip in my washing machine as the soundtrack.For further reading:Closing schools is not evidence-based and it harms children, BMJ - bmj.com/content/372/bmj.n521?utm_source=twitter&utm_medium=social&utm_term=hootsuite&utm_content=sme&utm_campaign=usageA useful review for the UK - theguardian.com/commentisfree/2021/jan/12/when-should-uk-schools-reopen-safe-covidA useful review for the USA - medpagetoday.com/blogs/vinay-prasad/90658Excellent summary of evidence around COVID-19 and children - dontforgetthebubbles.com/evidence-summary-paediatric-covid-19-literatureGoldacre 12 million no risk adult death - medrxiv.org/content/10.1101/2020.11.01.20222315v1?ijkey=4abc16ae672d46e844687e9a2128ea018bae8b21&keytype2=tf_ipsecshaReopening schools during the COVID-19 pandemic: governments must balance the uncertainty and risks of reopening schools against the clear harms associated with prolonged closure (Ara Darzi's team) - adc.bmj.com/content/106/2/111.longEuropean Centre for Disease Control and Prevention Executive Summary - https://www.ecdc.europa.eu/sites/default/files/documents/COVID-19-schools-transmission-August%202020.pdfEuropean Centre for Disease Prevention and Control school reopening review - https://www.ecdc.europa.eu/en/publications-data/children-and-school-settings-covid-19-transmissionOpen Schools, Covid-19, and Child and Teacher Morbidity in Sweden - nejm.org/doi/full/10.1056/NEJMc2026670?query=TOCWHO review (staff spread is more important than staff-student spread) - https://www.who.int/docs/default-source/coronaviruse/risk-comms-updates/epi-win-update40-overview-of-the-pandemic.pdf?sfvrsn=8d355bcd_4,%20https://www.medrxiv.org/content/10.1101/2020.10.29.20220426v1Japan childhood obesity - sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S0047272720302280?dgcid=raven_sd_aip_emailGerman study about school reopening - cream-migration.org/publ_uploads/CDP_22_20.pdfI will continue to update this, I just need to go to sleep now!

Doctor Explains the Latest Vegan vs Keto Head to Head Study Medlife Crisis 2021-02-17 | A new study published in January pitted a ketogenic, low carb, animal-based diet against a plant-based, low fat diet in a fully controlled environment. A lot of dietary studies are simply not even worth reading, but this one merited a quickie video to share the interesting result as it was done well. The carbohydrate-insulin obesity hypothesis has been widely accepted but not tested. Thankfully non-COVID research is starting to make up more and more of medical news once again.Argh, this is what happens when you try to write/record/edit/upload on the same day.
