About the high IQ thing. I and lots of others that tested very high as kids have similar stories to yours about school. How do you feel about schools for the gifted? I often wonder if an education system designed for our particular kind of neurodiversity would have been better for me. Not that I'm doing poorly now. But I did struggle a lot in school and took 5 years to get a 2 year degree. I think people assume that having a high IQ means I know more. It doesn't really work that way. In fact I would often get so bored of the level my peers were at, that I would miss the new information buried in the noise. And I never learned proper study habits so when I finally got into degree programs I was interested in, I was entirely overwhelmed. I probably have ended up with a poorer overall general education than the average person as a result.

Clearly, the heart's biggest design flaw is that it's connected to a whole bunch of other inferior organs.

The bit at the end about IQ and adhd Was really touching to hear. I had the typical "gifted kid turned illiterate mentally ill teenager" type of childhood and was diagnosed with every disorder under the sun before considering adhd. one blessed psych thought to make an IQ test, yet I still didn't get the adhd diagnosis until I was legally an adult, because good grades=smart=can't be adhd. The stereotype of it as "class clown syndrome" was still dominant even amongst specialists up until a few years ago frustratingly. Anyway what I'm tryna say is TL;DR: that story was highly relatable and it brought me great joy to hear that from someone who seems to "have it all together" (like have a cool job, a family and hobbies all at once).

I usually train with pulse around 130bpm

As a nurse with adhd and likely a secondary neuro diversity it actually made me a little bit teary (in a good way) to hear a consultant doctor whom I respect so much suggest, albeit in a round about way, that they too have ADHD (or a different diversity). Thankyou so much, I am more used to getting med shamed and consultants out right dismissing the idea that adults can even be neuro divergent.

As a neurodivergent high schooler I feel that struggle of achieving potential, (even a genius will fail if they can’t articulate their ideas due to disability, imagine the waste if Stephen Hawking was born in another era), I literally mentioned med school to my dad and he point blank said “/No, absolutely not/“, I now may go purely out of spite,,, but even if it was a humble brag thanks for sharing, it really does help to hear a success story from someone with similar struggles

But skeletal muscle has to be able to deal with any scenario and do very fine movements, very powerful movements, sudden (fast twitch), long (slow twitch) etc.

I've never been to a psychologist for some IQ numbers (is that something still done these days? idk) or some diagnosis or something, probably due to my parents being a tad anti-medicine (only a tad though, luckily), so I have nothing to brag with (:P), but it still is always comforting to hear from people with similar experiences, especially when it often times feels like one is a nutter in a sea of healthy people.

i appreciate when you were reading Luna's comment, you used they, and not automatically her. It's subtle, but your inclusion is noticed and appreciated. thank you.

"What are homeopathic scrubs? Is that like... the Emperor's New Clothes?" - That had me rolling. :D

As someone with Postural Orthostatic Tachycardia Syndrome (POTS), I've often wondered: 1) why is it called a syndrome? 2) who picks disease names? 3) if the name of a medical condition is awful (confusing, too vague, hard to explain, inaccurate, or otherwise), can it be changed?

This is awesome, love watching the channel!

Cheers Rohin! This is a super channel that combines a good sense of humour along with some great knowledge and useful insights. Thank you so much for your time taken to get things going on here.

I don't know how to introduce your channel to my friends. A comedian who just happens to have a medical degree. Or doctor who uses comedy to make real money from KZread? Which do you prefer?

*Every single* creator/writer I like seems to be opening up about being neurodiverse lately (as well as pretty much everyone I get along with irl), it's almost funny. I'm currently going through a diagnosis process myself (the main suspects being aspergers and ADHD) while struggling through university after having failed multiple times, often wishing I'd known sooner why so many things that should be easy are so hard for me. It's good you mentioned it, it might change someones life for the better.

Brilliant video as always!

Very pleasant video I started watching when it came out - a few months after my ADHD diagnosis - but for some reason never finished... until now ^^ Finding out that people I see as functioning and satisfied with what they do, manage to do so with the same struggles, is always comforting and motivating, thank you for sharing!

The hospital I work in is regularly mocked as we don't provide scrubs for a&e doctors, they have to provide their own. The surgical changing room scrub supply is well guarded and dismal.

The best feature of the heart is the way Andrew Scott pronounces it at the end of season 1 of Sherlock.

Thank you. I love you channel and the information you bring, the human. Thank you.

Doctor Rohin is so very easy on the eyes, and he talks about one of my favorite subjects.....health, medicine! Smart, truthful, and we have so much to learn❤️💜

I'm 18 and had my first real existential crisis due to one of your videos. It was a completely world changing experience and I really don't know if ignorance was bliss or not. I feel like my knowledge has grown greatly but also the amount of things I do not know has increased so dramatically. Thanks??

It can also go the other way - I did great academically in school but ended up studying photography at uni... :P

0:09 that made me laugh! I have no idea why your videos dropped out of my stream, but I'm so glad they're back!

Thanks for mentioning the story of Rosemary Kennedy, it was fascinating to read up on. Really devastating not only with regards to her situation itself but the family's attitude surrounding her treatment and their acknowledgement (or lack thereof) of the issue.

Thanks for reading my question! You said you recognised my name from a previous video, that was my brother Joe! You got called away during his question tho so never actually answered it (he is still salty).

35:45 loved your older generation englishman character. brilliant.

As a statistician aiming to become a doctor, I have been impressed by your ability to keep up-to-date with the latest research and also by your understanding of experimental design/trial validity. I'm wondering how you manage to stay on top of the latest research papers? Do you have a weekly time where you consult a certain aggregated source for example? It's something I'd really like to emulate. Cheers! Love the videos

Thanks so much for talking about ADHD Rohin. I’m a secondary school teacher with mixed type and it is haaaard to manage, but I think it also gives me empathy for struggling students and an ability to throw myself into work which are real strengths professionally. If you do another q and a, here’s a q for you: which elements your neuro diversity have made you a better doctor, and which have been the hardest to manage? I’d imagine paperwork is a struggle? For me managing mark sheets and data analysis is 💩

Where’s the Q&A video?

I'm sure I felt a twinge of angina just hearing that the coronary arteries are so narrow and rubbish.

Finally watching a Medlife Crisis video for the first time after seeing the channel in my suggestions for months, then within the first 10 seconds seeing the most unexpected cameo from my fave maths youtuber, was one of the greatest experiences of my life.

Couldn’t agree more with your end statement. I struggled at school for years and was finally diagnosed with dyslexia. I hate school and feared failing. People have this perception that successful people have never had to overcome issues. I respect you so much for trying to spread this sentiment. I’m believed to be on the spectrum too and it has taken 30 years to realise I’m not defective just different.

It's over folks, the new name is BeatBox™ All hail our new ruler ! 😆 Seriously

Why don't we preventatively attach artificial arteries to patients at a certain age or high risk patients, so if one of the two arteries blocks there's already a backup?

@MedlifeCrisis

Because if the flow in the main artery is good, the bypass (new artery) will just block off. Blood isn't like water, if flow is poor it'll clot! We know this from bypass operations, if you put a graft onto a vessel that doesn't need it, the graft will just block off.
