Hello! Welcome to Chubbyemu's (is mine!) second channel! This is a more in-depth version of the case in my video!

I ate a whole bag of licorice candy in college once. Don't remember any symptoms other than that my poop was neon green the next day.

This is the other video except it's in "hard" mode

The actor does a great job with the I’m seizing like a bomb look

As a lover of licorice, I wondered a couple things:

Almost every case that I’ve heard of in which somebody’s pupils are different sizes, has ended in brain death. A very disturbing pattern.

Huh. I suddenly have a much better understanding as to why I had to get regular blood tests to check my potassium levels when I was taking spironolactone for my acne

My parents are physicians and I'm a biochemistry Master student. We love to watch your videos together. Thanks you for putting so much effort into your great videos : )

Darn electrically neutral urine. I wish I could piss lightning :(

I have a theory of where he got his licorice. My guess is that the patient might have had some connection to the Nordic countries (Scandinavia). Licorice candy is very abudant here and is frequently enjoyed throughout the population. As a Med student in Sweden, or profs have told us many times about the picture: Young patient, hypokalemia, hypertension, syndrome of apparent mineralcorticoid excess -> Licorice fanatic, most likely.

Oh, I like the scientific version!

I'm gonna be honest, most of the extra info in these videos goes completely over my head but I just like watching you talk, and I think you're doing incredibly important work here.

I'm so glad that Heme Review is a page now. I love the science breakdowns of these case studies. Shame there isn't something akin to this for neurochemistry/pharmacology. Cheers all!

This is a biiittt more advanced than your other account, but I think I’m following

You must be the best prof because you explain things in the most understandable way. I'm not a medical person- I'm a writer who has written on some medical topics- and I really learn from how you present things. Both this and your Chubby Emu channel are my fave on youtube. :)

I’m an OR RN and we had a lady that got a bowel obstruction from eating so many gummy bears at once….it was over a pound😱😳…..that said, it barely even registers on the scale of the bizarre things I’ve seen at work in 21 years of nursing….it gets way crazier than this by far😬✌️

Banana by Mouth - All I see is me shoveling banana into a passed out man surrounded by gross candy - LIVE DAMN YOU!!

I really enjoy heme review .. in-depth

Dutch liquorice contians a significant amount of Glycyrrhizin! This kind of case is actually one we get taught in a lot of dutch medical schools as it is a rare-but-possible case in especially pediatrics, as sometimes children get access to liquorice with high amounts of Glycyrrhizin and consume far too much. Also a very good case for Dutch people to understand symptoms associated with mineralocorticoid syndromes, as it is very relatable to dutch people. It could also come from Scandinavia or other nordic countries, as another guy already commented a very similar thing but in Swedish medical school. Considering the fact that there are a few communities that are still very in touch with the Dutch culture, the patient could have Dutch heritage and maybe buying "Dutch liquorice" from a Dutch specialty store could be the origin.
