A human eye that looks like a galaxy of stars but A human eye that looks like a galaxy of stars but the person may not even know it’s there. ✨

This is asteroid hyalosis: thousands of tiny crystals suspended in the gel inside the eye. They can resemble glitter, a snow globe, or a star-filled night sky, yet they usually do not affect vision and rarely need treatment.

What does it look like to you?

Which are fake? One looks like a living blackberry Which are fake? One looks like a living blackberry. One looks dipped in liquid chrome. One has a see-through head with green headlights for eyes. And one has teeth that look disturbingly human. Black goldfish. Hairtail. Barreleye. Sheepshead. Even names sound fake.

Look closely before you answer: which numbers are you calling fake?

Doctors found 20 cm of cement extending into this Doctors found 20 cm of cement extending into this man’s heart.

It came from a prior spine surgery, after surgical cement leaked into his veins and traveled all the way back toward his heart.

He felt completely fine for 3 years but doctors warned this rare complication could become a major health risk.

Now he has to choose between open-heart surgery to remove it, with major risks… or leaving the cement where it is.

What would you do?

One looks painful. One worries me more as a doctor One looks painful. One worries me more as a doctor. Both are examples of ignoring your body until it starts sending louder warnings. Be honest: what’s the tightest thing you’ve ever worn because it looked good?

Which one is not human? There are 5 real human sku Which one is not human? There are 5 real human skulls.  I will give you some clues by naming the five diagnoses the humans have to  look this way, then you’ll know the answer.

Last human has a massive face from too much growth hormone.
That leaves you the answer, So which one isn’t human and what is it?

This might be one of the strangest medical devices This might be one of the strangest medical devices you’ve ever seen. It’s for weight loss. It’s a temporary endoscopic device designed to change how food moves through the intestine, and it’s been studied for obesity and type 2 diabetes. I break down how it works, what the research has found, and why it’s so different from medications or surgery. Knowing  all your options for weight loss, would you ever consider something like this?

Who wins this race: A shrimp sprinting with 10 leg Who wins this race: A shrimp sprinting with 10 legs or a vampire bat using its wings as extra legs. This is not a joke setup. These are real treadmill tests that were really performed.  The  matchup is way closer than it sounds.

The bat is heavier. The shrimp is longer. Water helps the shrimp but also adds resistance. And both can keep a rapid pace for an hour.

So before the reveal: who wins this race: shrimp or vampire bat?

How did this sharp metal object get into this woma How did this sharp metal object get into this woman’s lung and liver? She had 30 years of right-sided chest pain, but the scan showed something nobody could explain: an 18-cm object going through her organs. The strange thing is she had no trauma, no surgeries, and no evidence of scars or wounds on exam. So where did it come from? Somehow it sat there for decades before doctors finally took her to surgery to repair the damage and remove it. They were surprised at what they found.  How did this object get there? Can you solve the mystery before the reveal?
