What's wrong with it...
a lot of just sudden breaks in speech
like if it was written out, there'd be a comma after every couple of words
A grandma (meaning, human female over the age of 60) ate (consumed) 1 pound (referring to the weight measurements used in the united states of america) of Chocolate (a confectionery that contains large amounts of sugar) in six hours (meaning 6 periods of measured time on earth)
I can't tell if all of you are being deliberately dramatic or just petty.
He pretty much only does this for medical terms, like wtf is wrong with you.
What sudden breaks in speech.
What, you mean fucking pauses?
You're gonna get a headache if he just rattles off 20 medical terms one after another without giving you a moment to conceptualize any of it.
I feel like I'm in a twilight zone episode where everyone thinks that this perfectly normal and even relatively high quality narration is somehow abnormal.
I think he's gotten a lot better at it, used to be like him explaining every letter in the word.
As for the video content, that's fucking scary. Not looking forward to getting old and having 10000 new things that can suddenly kill you, just cause.
His earlier medical videos tended to have worse pacing, but he seems to have mitigated it in this video. Still, he seems to be very, uh, animated, with his body movements, which is kind of distracting. Still, his videos are very informative and I enjoy watching them.
I find these so uncomfortable but interesting to watch.
Yeah, they make me kinda feel like I'm going to die any second. It's crazy that our bodies even function considering all of the shit that has to work properly.
Anothing thing, aren't all of the videos he does entirely hypothetical? I remember him mentioning it somewhere that the stuff in them is based on things that have happened but are otherwise entirely made up to be something that -could- happen given the right circumstances?
I know the mercury poisoning was a real event, as said in the video. Researcher followed protocol with hazardous material contamination, only for the solution to sink past her gloves and give her a lethal dose of mercury poisoning months down the road. Led to much safer protocols that require researchers to wear like 3 gloves, two latex, and one inner final defensive layer glove. I've actually seen plenty of these types of freak infections/body disorders/accidents on other medical shows/reports.
I think at worst the stories are amalgamations of multiple incidents to present an informative medical lecture, or in sometimes the real story is obfuscated a little, like what codemaster said. There was the alcohol story he told which was based on the guy from the Grateful Dead but with a happier ending, and I remember the water poisoning story back when it happened, but in reality the mother died.
Not always the 100% true story, but not just purely hypothetical. This things actually happened in one way or another.
Real medical cases.
The one where the woman drank a ludicrous amount of water for a radio contest and died because of it was also based on a real incident.
The way this guy talks is super obnoxious, and it has nothing to do with explaining terms.
I'm glad to see he's gotten better about how he goes about explaining almost ever medical term.
This one was actually enjoyable to watch.
