Hands come in all shapes… but one of these X-ray Hands come in all shapes… but one of these X-rays isn’t even human. Most people can’t spot the difference — even AI gets this wrong. The anatomy, the spacing, the shape… it all tricks your brain. Can YOU tell which one isn’t human before the reveal? (This is part 2, but it also stands completely on its own.)#learnwithme #medicalfacts #oddlysatisfyingfacts #didyouknowfacts #scienceexplained #reelseducation #anatomylover #healthandscience #xrayfacts #reelsviral
One of these hands is NOT human — can you spot w One of these hands is NOT human — can you spot which one? Don’t overthink it… your first instinct might surprise you. Comment your guess and I’ll reveal the answer tomorrow. If you have no idea what a “normal” human hand actually looks like on X-ray… let me help you. #learnsomethingnew #medicalillusion #oddlysatisfyingfacts #didyouknowfacts #radiologyworld #handanatomy #medicalmystery #doctorsoftiktok #reelsengagement #viralreelscontent
Are surgeons born with natural talent… or can yo Are surgeons born with natural talent… or can you actually train great dexterity? As a neurosurgeon, I’ve wondered that my whole life. Fast reflexes, hand-eye coordination, repetition, practice — they all shape a surgeon’s skill. And here’s the truth: even people who don’t start out with “perfect hands” can still develop incredible precision with the right training. #Neurosurgeon #SurgeonLife #MedicalTraining #Dexterity #HandEyeCoordination #ReflexTraining #FutureSurgeon #DoctorLife #SurgicalSkills #MedicineReels
I was a terrible test taker… and still became a I was a terrible test taker… and still became a neurosurgeon. If you’ve ever stared at a page for hours and retained nothing — you’re not alone. Some of us aren’t “naturals.” We learn differently. We need reps, structure, and discipline. And that’s not weakness — that’s resilience. If you’re a pre-med, a med student, or someone who feels discouraged by exams… don’t write yourself off. You can still build an incredible career. I’m proof. Where there’s a will, there’s a way.#MedicalStudentLife #PremedMotivation #StudyStruggles #Neurosurgeon #MedSchoolJourney #StudentInspiration #FutureDoctor #StudyMotivationDaily #ExamPrepTips #HighAchieversMindset
You don’t have to figure this one out alone — You don’t have to figure this one out alone — here’s what all those tiny squiggly lines really were. This patient had 30 years of gold-thread acupuncture fragments left throughout his joints… but the real twist was undiagnosed rheumatoid arthritis the whole time. Once docs found the RA and started proper treatment, he finally got better. Medicine is full of cases that look confusing until you know the full story. #MedicalMystery #Neurosurgeon #Radiology #RheumatoidArthritis #ArthritisEducation #MedicalCase #AcupunctureFacts #HealthcareEducation #DoctorReacts #XrayFindings
This patient came in with pain everywhere… and t This patient came in with pain everywhere… and then suddenly had a stroke. His X-rays were covered in hundreds of tiny lines—across his hands, spine, knee, even his head. What do you think caused this, and how could something like this hide in the body? #MedicalMystery #RadiologyCase #DoctorExplains #MedicalReels #NeurosurgeryLife #WeirdMedicine #HealthcareEducation #RareCases #MedStudentLife #LearnOnInstagram

Grandpa kept acting a little… off. Turns out his Grandpa kept acting a little… off. Turns out his head was literally filling with AIR.A tiny skull fracture created a one-way valve — every cough, sneeze, or strain pumped more air into his brain.Here’s how we found it, fixed it, and helped him feel like himself again. #MedicalMystery #NeurosurgeryLife #BrainHealth #RadiologyCases #HeadTrauma #MedicineExplained #DoctorReels #HealthcareEducation #MedicalReels #MindBlowingFacts
A consult I NEVER want to see as a neurosurgeon… A consult I NEVER want to see as a neurosurgeon… A Foley catheter — normally meant for the bladder or for controlling severe nosebleeds — was found deep inside someone’s skull on CT. How does something starting in the nose end up in the brain? There is a medical explanation… and yes, sometimes neurosurgeons actually use these balloons intentionally. More wild neurosurgery cases coming soon. Part 2 next.#MedicalMystery #Neurosurgery #DoctorReels #Radiology #WeirdMedicine #HealthEducation #MedicalCase #SurgeonLife #BrainHealth #Med
