@codefreak8 It has modern elements like calling 911 and blood tests, but then they just let him die as if modern treatments didn't exist. It's inconsistent; it should either have been written as it would've happened back in the day (e.g. instead of him calling 911 his assistant would've found him and taken him to the hospital on a horse carriage), or as it would happen today (he calls 911 and gets all the modern treatments and survives), not a weird mix of both

The fact that you explain why each thing is named the way it is, is so amazing. I'm autistic, and learning things the "normal" way by just taking in information and attributing names to it is really difficult for me. But learning the information behind those names helps me to understand it much better - not to mention the fact that I'll also be able to somewhat understand the meaning of OTHER names that use those same naming methods. It's extremely refreshing to see :D

I spent a long time not really believing if I was autistic or not, but the sheer amount of times I came across autistic people who literally just described my habits as if they knew me, it kind of came clear. Kind of unsolicited advice here, sorry. But there's a test you can do online, did you know? It's called the Autism Quotient (AQ) test. If you're ever interested in finding out if you have more symptoms of autism, or even just ruling it out, that's a great place to start.

Another one of his treatments as a child for asthma was crushed up cockroaches made into a powder.

I had been breathing in a small gas leak in my apartment for five months and not only did doctors not know what was going on at the time, but they also don’t know how to treat my symptoms. And this is in 2021-2022. Thankfully I am alive and recovering.

I've barely been in that lab but my ass whould be grass if anyone even thought about doing stuff like this. The dean at my undergrad school whould show us as freshmen the reaction of HCl + NaOH -> H2O + NaCl by drinking it. Really hope he stopped doing that by now for reasons like this.

So when we were kids, my sister decided, on her birthday, to nonstop huff the helium tank my parents got for her balloons later that day while they were out getting her cake from the bakery. I did it too, once or twice, because who doesn’t want to sound like a cartoon? But she kept going. And going and going. And eventually she tried playing the fainting game with our friend and collapsed. And at first I though “ok, idiot daredevil is playing the fainting game” but she didn’t really get up. I was in lifeguard training at that time, so I checked her out, waited a few seconds, and then did CPR. She came around. I have no idea if she had just fainted or had suffered asphyxia from too much helium. (It’s an inert gas so it’s not toxic. But too much can suffocate you) Anyway, she was fine and my parents flipped their shit on both of us (unfair… but I wasn’t going to turn her in) Don’t do inhalants, kids.

Just like the ecosystem, the air we breathe, combustion engine, to name a few. Thank you Bernard, for your knowledge and the way you deliver them.
Ah, the "good old days" where sulfuric acid was always contaminated with arsenic, mercury, lead, sometimes selenium, thallium, and tellurium, cause this elements frequently are present in pyrites and sulfide ores, and also in lead used for lining of the apparatuses for H2SO4 production. Even nowadays when we have reagents available that are so pure that contaminants are given in ppm you can still buy special grade of zinc described as "free of arsenic", meant to be used in demonstration of Marsh's test, since marsh test is so sensitive for As and Sb.

Man, I always hate it when the patient dies. The fact that this case happened almost 200 years ago - and that it can still happen today? Wild.
Thank you for the best comments section I've seen in a while!
I've watched many of your videos and I enjoy learning the science from them. I wish you could do more than one a month, but I understand you have life besides the videos. Thank you.
I worked in a pharmacy cleanroom. I accidentally shattered a glass ampule of arsenic trioxide while preparing a dose. I immediately thought I was going to die, until I saw the patient was getting 10ml of it. Sharp glass and poisons are a scary combination.
Chubby, this is so cool! I actually worked in the basic research lab right across Pier Paolo Pandolfi, which is referenced in the Sloan Kettering paper. This is soo cool! My research project actually entailed using ATO (Arsenic Trioxide, in conjunction with All Trans-retinoic Acid (vitamin A) to treat not only APL but also breast and pancreatic cancers. This is so neat! I learned a lot from this video!!

chemistry major here. getting a whiff of something noxious is such a MoodTM. freshman year i remember sticking my face in an evaporating dish and getting a lungful of nitric acid fumes. it's interesting bc with other things like ammonia your lungs kind of spasm, your breath cuts off which stops you from inhaling more, but nitric acid just went right in. the lab instructor made me include EVERY SINGLE POSSIBLE THING that could happen to your body from nitric acid inhalation in my lab report. she kept sending me back bc she said the list wasn't complete. on maybe the fourth time i recited yet another horrible illness she smiled and said "there. i hope you'll follow health & safety now :)" the next few days i had the worst cough of my entire life but other than that i was fine

I had APL & had to have arsenic trioxode (intravenously) & All-Trans Retinoic Acid (ATRA) in 2015. The arsenic trioxide actually wasn't so bad. But the ATRA pills (which technically is just a vitamin A derivative in very high doses) gave me *debilitating* headaches (like, vomiting from pain, back in the hospital kind of headaches). It was awful. Most people don't have that side effect though aparently, so I guess I was just unlucky.

I would say the chemist was dumb for inhaling whatever he made, but in the 1800s chemists would taste, smell and even inhale their chemical discoveries so they can record it in their journal
This is amazing, I really appreciate this
As a Chemist, he should at least test the metal shavings first for contaminants if he still insist on inhaling hydrogen gas
That was like a speedrun to kill your kidneys, the reaction was almost instant after he inhaled it. Someone let Tomatoanus know.

Good one ~ I had absolutely no clue about what was causing MB's problems.
My 10th grade biology teacher was an absolute boss! I had got some balloons filled with helium and was fucking around during study hall with it. He noticed me with another balloon and non-chalantly asked me to come to his desk, me thinking he was gonna do some as well and have a good laugh. As soon as I got next to him he pulled a pin from out of nowhere like a ninja and popped the balloon. I was absolutely shocked! I was like WTF?! dude! He just smiled and said I couldn't just let you inhale a balloon full of gas like that, and I know you wouldn't have listened if I had asked you not too. He then gave me the same explanation at the end of this video, if you don't need to inhale it, don't inhale it. So I almost have never inhaled helium again, and honestly kind of glad after watching this. Honestly one of my most favorite teachers. Real awesome dude.
Thank you for another amazing video! Learning about how they treated patients back then makes me really grateful for all the incredible advancements medical science made and that can help us today.

Thankyou! Another fantastic video. It was especially good that you took the time to explain why these chemicals (despite their toxicity) should not be feared but respected due to their critically important uses. As an inquisitive amateur chemist, I find public perception of chemistry to be poor, and plagued by dogmatic rhetoric and intense ignorance. I hope that more professionals and creatives can slowly change the perceptions, especially with content just like this!

I thought the possible gas could be phosphine or sulfur trioxide. Was not expecting arsine. Nowadays arsenic, lead, bromates and mercury is heavily monitored in water and air. Some industries might cheat but arsenic poisoning will kill you and it's a terrible way to go.

The music you play when people take drugs or whatever is so off putting yet perfect. Every time I hear it play in your videos I think “oooh, things are gonna get good now!” I love it!
I just love documentation. Good documentation makes everything better.
I think this story is a nice testament to the ingenuity of humans. Even without almost any of the technology and medical and chemical scientific knowledge we have today, a bunch of freakin' smart people in 1841 could use the facts they did have, and very quickly narrow down what it was that MB was suffering from. It's tragic to know that all he wanted was to bring the joy of chemistry and science to the world; but it's also bittersweet that while it undid him, that drive will have likely inspired many of his students to learn more and find that same joy. A great teacher, but maybe not such a great chemist. That said, while I have greatly enjoyed the video, I do still have a few questions that would've been nice to hear an explanation to in the video: 1) Why does the arsine cutting out the heme from hemoglobin explain how MB's urine ended up containing hemoglobin before his kidneys gave out? Did the urine only contain the damaged hemoglobin, having been sorted out by the kidneys as something that probably shouldn't be in the blood stream? Or was it a result of internal hemorrhaging as the kidneys slowly fell apart, but still pumping urine and anything that happened to mix in? Or was there another reason? 2) Why was it that MB seemed to be briefly getting better once his kidneys stopped working? Was it because he was no longer leaking functional hemoglobin into his urine, allowing more of the oxygen to get to their destination? If so, why did his jaundice go away too? If his liver had sustained damage enough that it'd cause clearly visible symptoms, wouldn't that take more than a few hours to subside? Or was there another reason? 3) Why is it necessary to replace all of a patient's blood, rather than performing a kidney transplant? Wouldn't the arsine eventually react and form more stable compounds? And if not, does it then function as a catalyst for a different reaction, the arsine itself not changing composition and therefore remaining hazardous? And if so, why the whole blood replacement thing? Does it take too long for the arsine to react out for a kidney transplant to be viable? Or is there, again, another reason?
I'm not a doctor or a scientist, but I still look forward to your video every month. You present in such an informative way that I can understand easily.
