A baby is found to have his twin brother growing i A baby is found to have his twin brother growing inside his belly. Doctors recommend surgery before it becomes dangerous. But to the parents, this is not something to remove. This is their son. When protecting a baby conflicts with what a family believes is right, what comes first? What would you do as the doctor or the parent? #medicine #medicaleducation #doctors #surgery #healthcare
These two babies look shockingly alike. Only one i These two babies look shockingly alike. Only one is human. One can already grip onto its mother and start life like a tiny climber. The other is built very differently from day one. The giveaway is in the hands and feet. So what are A and B? #animals #science #biology #animalfacts #humanbody
Doctors were convinced this man had aggressive can Doctors were convinced this man had aggressive cancer. The tumors kept spreading exactly like metastatic disease. But every biopsy showed something they had never seen before… Tiny, bizarre cells. Not cancer. Not infection. Not even human. This mystery went unsolved for decades. And when they finally figured it out… it turned out to be something almost impossible. What do you think this actually was? #medicine #health #science #doctorsoftiktok #medicaleducation
God spoke to my patient the night before surgery. God spoke to my patient the night before surgery. By morning, he cancelled the operation. The patient said he was told: “If you have surgery, you’ll be with me.” As a surgeon, I still think about this. Was that a warning… or protection?** #medicine #surgery #doctor #healthcare #medicaleducation
I can’t believe what surgeons did to this hand. At I can’t believe what surgeons did to this hand. At first glance, it looks shocking almost unbelievable. But there’s a real condition behind it… and an outcome that completely changes how this hand works. This is what people don’t see. Not just appearance but function, movement, and what someone can actually do again. As a surgeon, these are the cases that remind you how much medicine can change a life.#medicine #surgery #healthcare #medicaleducation #doctorlife
A venomous lizard helped spark one of the biggest A venomous lizard helped spark one of the biggest drug trends in the world. Scientists didn’t go looking for weight loss drugs… they were trying to understand how the Gila monster can go months without eating and still keep blood sugar stable. What they found changed medicine. A GLP-1 protein in this animals venom works for hours… while ours fades in minutes. Now it’s behind a $60+ billion industry. So here’s the real question what animal do you think will steal from next to treat one of our complex diseases? #Ozempic #WeightLoss #Science #Medicine #Health
As a neurosurgeon, I don’t move forward with elect As a neurosurgeon, I don’t move forward with elective surgery without real trust. I take hours of conversation and 100s of emails to build it. Because when you’re putting your life in someone’s hands, that matters. So be honest… Would you still go through with surgery if you didn’t like or trust your surgeon? #Health #Medicine #Surgery #DoctorLife #Neurosurgeon
This is a silent killer most people never see comi This is a silent killer most people never see coming. Everyone thinks they’d feel it if something went down the wrong pipe… but what if you didn’t? Food and liquids can go straight into the lungs — silently, repeatedly causing damage you may not even notice until it’s serious. As a doctor, this is something I see people completely underestimate. Would you want to know if this was happening to you… or would you prefer to not know? #Health #Medical #DoctorsOfInstagram #HealthTips #pneumonia
Doctors don’t always ask permission to walk in a p Doctors don’t always ask permission to walk in a patient’s room. And in a hospital, that can mean walking in during some of a patient’s most vulnerable moments when they’re trying to sleep, or just need a minute alone. As a doctor, my approach is simple: I ask first. If it’s not a good time, I can always come back. I have time to come back not every doctor does. I feel lucky. Some places do things differently . There are hospitals that require approval before anyone even enters a patient room. So where’s the balance? How should this actually be handled? #Healthcare #HospitalLife #PatientCare #DoctorsOfInstagram #MedicalLife
