The medical world is second to none. Just last year, for example, a 34-year-old old man developed an allergy to cold air. There was also a Brazilian fella who surprised his doctors with having three kidneys. And that's just the tip of the iceberg. There are plenty of memorable cases that continue to surprise us to this day. And you can find most of them on the subreddit r/MEDizzy. It's an online community created for medical professionals to discuss everything and anything that crosses their minds (or operating tables) and it has seen quite a few interesting posts during the 3 years of its existence. Here are some of them.

James Harrison The "Man With The Golden Arm"

James Harrison The "Man With The Golden Arm"

After needing 13 liters of blood for a surgery at the age of 13, a man named James Harrison pledged to donate blood once he turned 18. It was discovered that his blood contained a rare antigen which cured Rhesus disease. He has donated blood a record 1,000 times and saved 2,000,000 lives.

James had Rh null blood, a blood so rare that it is said only 43 people have ever had it that we know of! He is also holding babies in this photo because Rhesus disease affects pregnant women where thier blood actually attacks and destroys the unborn baby's blood cells. Thank you James!

He ended up being able to help his own daughter when she was pregnant as well. It must have been such a lovely feeling for him to be able to protect his own grandchild like that.

He donated plasma, which you can donate every 2 weeks. He did donate whole blood as well in the beginning, but this plasma is more valuable. Interestingly, it was most likely due to the blood transfusions he had as a kid that he has such high anti D. One of the units was probably mis matched and he received Rh positive blood, and his body formed anti D as a result. Some people who are Rh negative volunteer to be exposed to Rh positive blood to see if they can form anti D, because it can't be made artificially.

It was most likely because of the surgery. He is Rh negative, they think he got some Rh positive blood, which caused him to produce so much anti D. Sometimes people who are Rh negative volunteer to be exposed to Rh positive blood, hoping that they will be able to produce anti D. It's extremely risky having a blood transfusion that is not compatible with your blood type.

My cousin nearly died of Rhesus disease. She was born in the 80s. As far as I know, they replaced all her own blood with someone elses blood. Her family joked that she was only theirs by flesh, not by blood. I was told when I was a child and never asked again.

In the UK, you can't give blood if you've had a transfusion. From the NHS website: Currently, you cannot give blood if you have had a blood transfusion. This is a precautionary measure to reduce the risk of a serious condition called variant CJD (vCJD) being passed on by donors.

This must be a regional thing. He donated blood up until 2018, when he was deemed too old for it. In my own country you just have to wait 4 months after a transfusion, before you can donate again.

Its because he had the blood transfusion as a kid that he developed the ability to produce anti D antibodies. A person with Rh negative blood develops the ability after being exposed to Rh positive blood. Also the ability of anti-D to prevent HDN wasn't developed until the 1960's, James had his surgery around 1950 when he was 13.

It's really rare. If a person is interested they could always asked to be checked. To be suitable you would have to have Rh negative blood type and have been exposed to Rh positive blood in the past. It's found mostly in women, when they have had a Rh positive baby and not had anti d. Some people who are Rh negative do volunteer to be exposed to Rh positive blood hoping that they will produce anti d.

Also, do you really need to watch this process? :) (I'm only joking, of course it's your choice to give blood, or not to). I can't give blood, due to my low body weight - they do not want to take my blood, even though I am completely healthy and the work I do requires from me good fitness and quality nutrition. They were never interested in it, supposedly that there was a rule that they shouldn't take my blood if I was lighter than 50 kilos.

General practitioner, medical researcher, and founder of PrimeHealth Clinical Research, Iris Gorfinkel, M.D., told Bored Panda that it might be just a matter of time before we get many more cool medical cases. "I'm excited about a few things," she said. "Let's start with wearable technology. I think this has tremendous importance in medicine. Say a person checks their own blood pressure and brings those readings to the doctor. Blood pressure is a huge thing. It's a major cardiovascular risk factor that is responsible not only for heart attack, but it can also be responsible for stroke, kidney disease, and vascular damage."

"The problem is when patients come into the office, they're nervous, they're sometimes fatigued, they're sometimes depressed, or anxious. And all of these things can cause the blood pressure to go up and give us artificially high readings. But imagine when a patient comes in with a reliable wearable (and I say reliable because the wrist ones are not ready for primetime) ... Then instead of focusing just on the one reading that I get in my office, I'm faced with a dozen readings, so I can get to a better conclusion about whether or not this person should, in fact, be treated."

Another thing Gorfinkel is psyched about is messenger RNA technology. "Most people think about mRNA only in terms of the Pfizer and Moderna COVID vaccines. True, they've saved millions of lives at this point. But I think we can look forward to years in advance where they'll continue to save millions of lives, and not just from COVID but from other diseases as well," the doctor said.

"Here's a little-known factoid: messenger RNA research began 30 years ago ... Pfizer was focusing their research on influenza, prior to COVID, and when the pandemic began, they basically pivoted to all the efforts on COVID instead. However, they are returning to that research on influenza ... and with the messenger RNA technology, we could maybe even come up with a universal influenza vaccine that's long been a goal of medical science."

There's another technology that might be coming to a doctor near you which can really accelerate the use of various handheld devices. "Imagine ultrasound technology in a GP's office," Gorfinkel said. "Right now, when GPs want to know what's happening in a person's body, they have to send them to a separate radiology lab where they have to make an appointment, and sometimes wait weeks to get that appointment, and then come back for their answers. But imagine in very Star Trek fashion that a doctor could pull out an ultrasound probe. It should allow us to take a look at our phone and diagnose things like ectopic pregnancy, diagnose why a person has a heart murmur, diagnose acute appendicitis, pneumonia... And if you think I'm talking Star Trek, actually, I'm not. This technology exists. And medical students in modern schools are being taught how to use it."

The doctor said that even though it might sound paradoxical, she's most excited about changing the mundane. The steps that might seem simple can often snowball into big differences.

The moderators of the subreddit were also kind enough to have a little chat with us about the content they curate. "The r/MEDizzy community connects premeds, medical students, nurses, doctors, paramedics, people who want to pursue medical careers in the future, as well as regular medical passionates who are interested in medicine," they told Bored Panda.

Together, they share all kinds of information but according to those in charge of the subreddit, the most popular topics on r/MEDizzy could be categorized into two groups: medical cases, published by those who have a medical background, and posts in which non-medical subscribers share cases of themselves or their family members.

Don't blame them. Although I thought surgeons changed hands a few times in long surgeries. Not saying they still wouldn't be exhausted if that was the case. The concentration and precision would take up a lot of mental energy, let alone the physical energy used from standing and fiddly work etc.

"As moderators, we do our best to keep the overall quality of posts as high as possible. Thankfully, our community is very active in reporting content that violates our (or general Reddit) rules. One of the most popular violations is self-harm posts or gore posts with no case description. Of course, there are many inappropriate comments we have to remove from the comment section as well, but I think it is common in every Reddit community," they explained.

It's worth mentioning that MEDizzy is a project that expands well beyond Reddit. For example, there's a MEDizzy mobile app (that works both on Android and Apple devices) where medical students and healthcare professionals share useful medical resources and the MEDizzy Journal where they provide up-to-date articles from the medicine world.

Got this off Reddit: Doctors carried out a "revolutionary" new treatment where they made a solution from Zed's own skin cells and sprayed it over his burns. And just four months after the life-changing treatment Zed's burns have completely disappeared - leaving him scar free. Spray-on skin is a patented skin culturing treatment for burns victims, developed by scientist Marie Stoner and plastic surgeon Dr Fiona Wood of Perth, Western Australia. Wood's treatment is under ongoing development. Where previous techniques of skin culturing required 21 days to produce enough cells to cover major burns, Wood has reduced the period to five days. Through research, she found that scarring is greatly reduced if replacement skin could be provided within 10 days. Dr Wood's reported goal is "scarless woundless healing".

Usually when a constrictor has actuality bitten and coiled around something, they won't/ can't let go. Snakes teeth face backwards which makes it harder for them to release. And they will keep constricting until there is no longer a pulse. So this woman needs help removing the snake or risk losing her arm from lack of circulation.
