A Medical Look Into What Killed Every President

Hi!

It's ok

sup lol

First like I guess

Ok

And he even told the audience he'd been shot, but it'd take more than that to stop a Bull Moose, as that was the political party he was running under at the time.

And part of the reason he survived was because the bullet hit the breast pocket of his shirt, which held his super thick speech notes. (I'm only slightly exaggerating when I say it was like 40 pages.) The thick paper slowed the bullet down to a point where the wound wasn't fatal.

This reminds me of when Reagan was giving a speech in Germany and a balloon popped and without missing a beat he said “missed me” and would have kept smoothly going except for the applause.

and our former president complained about everything that bothered him on social media and the current president can't even remember his line. what a world we live in

@@anasazidarkmoon wow, i wonder how that went down-
*starts speech*
"Ouch"
"Oop I just got shot everyone-"
"That kinda hurt"
"Anyway"

And by a lot of unethical medical studies.

That's why it's called "practicing" medicine. They're still learning new things.

ironic

there was a similar story but i can't remember if it was from ben frank or thomas edison

A KRplusr named Mr ballen has a video about that! :D

What a coincidence

IKR like i read an entire two books on those(Strange Medicine: A Shocking History of Real Medical Practices Through the Ages by Nathan Belofsky and Quackery: A Brief History of the Worst Ways to Cure Everything by Lydia Kang and Nate Pedersen, good books btw and very funny, like one of the lines, this is out of context i know 💀, is "...the sinister inner workings of the Jew...") for research and they KILLED me

It's so bad, apparently you can shoot someone, and then say the doctors killed him because they did such an awful job he would have a higher chance of surviving if he was never taken care of at all.

What do you write? Books or articles?....anything I may have read?

@@aguyontheinternet8436 pretty hilariously ironic. Also brings up some interesting thoughts on at what point does is the President’s health is no longer their own decision but a matter where people can say “for the good of the nation, we need to open you up to 20 inches to look for the benign bullet.”

I figured that he had a distinct appearance but I didn't know it was from a condition

Wow I’ve never heard of that! Thank you for the knowledge!!!

I'm from Kentucky, just like Lincoln, and I've seen a fair few people around the state that looked like Lincoln. Really tall and with a very similar face. I wonder if it was a regional thing back then. I mean it's supposedly genetic if I remember correctly. Weird.

I wonder if Sheldon Cooper was the first to say "fun fact." I've seen it quite a bit on KRplus. Marfan Syndrome doesn't sound so fun.

Well how many people you think will be offended by a movie of a son of a murderer, I'd watch, but the poor actors would be hated

It helps that he's also super hot too 🥵

There's also a statistic saying that female murderers are far more likely to poison their victims than violent males as men are physically stronger and therefore more confrontational.

It's because he had children when he was older

You probably wouldn't have though. It takes a bunch of hard grueling years to become a doctor. It's not something only having a good teacher will get you through. But I get what you mean.

True... If he was my teacher it would be heaven!

I would rather listen to Dr. Mike than any of my teachers because it’s way more interesting

Im pretty sure there are/were people in your school that are pretty nice and making hard things easy and fun. The main problem is the problematic people that ruins your mood. Never let them do it, just let them come and go away from your learning journey

@@elwoodstelhommme8745 how to be immortal 😂

Ones like chemo and radiation almost certainly. They are the best tools we have for treating cancer, but they are insanely hard on the body. Though one benefit current medicine has is that it IS based on the scientific method of hypothesis and observation. The stuff about the humors was a lot more based on philosophical thought experiments than reality. One of the experiments Galileo did was dropping balls of different weights off the leaning tower of piza, and observing they fell at the same rate. Thus contradicting Aristotle (I think), who said the heavier one would fall faster. And observing how fast balls fall is a lot easier than understanding the inner working of the body.

More than likely, doctors will be a bit more like mechanics. In the sense that they’ll be replacing organs & body parts, with something better that what we’re born with, rather than fixing/healing us.
Resulting in having to get replacements/upgrades, every once in a while. Giving medicine and therapy a huge blow, but opening up new opportunities.

@@reddrivers5269 I always call them “terminator parts” and I don’t think we are far off. People have lost arms and they replace them and are able to hook up nerves!

He lobotomised his sister, lacking sympathy

Not quite what happened it was more so the U.S. was not letting her make the post death decisions I'd reccomend watching "ask a mortician's" video in this it's very interesting

It seems as they had info, that steered them away from being involved.
2 different rifles were fired during the “assassination”. One by Oswald, the other by George Hickey (S.S. Man in the trailing vehicle). 2 different class of projectiles hit the president. First was a full metal jacket, went straight through, by Oswald. And a frangible, which shreds apart after impact, causing the most damage, shot ACCIDENTALY by Hickey. The one that ended Kennedy’s life. He had stood up holding the AR, right before his driver floored it, causing his to fall back and discharge the weapon.
It was reported the SS had frangible rounds, but no count was done on their inventory. Gunpowder was smelt at ground level, wafting as the presidential convoy sped by. And the S.S. was caught washing away evidence, off the limo. Also, some point during the transportation of Kennedy’s body, the vessel he was in, was switched for a different one. The SS discontinued use of that style of AR, the next day.
The whole thing was accidental, but of course, conspiracies are more appealing to the fantasies of grown men.

@@breadcrusader67 Would that make him a... marine corpse?

So this entire lecture was dissing past doctor's

Is there a digital version of that lecture? If so please let me know, I'll be very thankful.

@@user-ir6xh2mx9d I wish there was!

The deaths of John Adams and Thomas Jefferson are also interesting because before either of them died, they exclaimed that the other one still lives. Given that they had reestablished their friendship for a bit, after decades of a grudge, it honestly amazing and kind of touching

Jefferson’s final words were “it’s the fourth”. So he was pushing to make sure he made it.

@@michaeloptv flawed as some of our founder fathers were, they sure did love our country ;_;

And doctors nowadays are like "hey bud ur gonna take this experimental 'vaccine' that's not a vaccine so not under the Nuremburg code"...or something to that effect.

He also was not allowed to search the actual side the bullet was on because the doctors were sure it wasn't on the other side.

Sadly I don't think Alexander Bell understood the different types of metals and metal families.

In fact, it's even theorized that had they not used the metal detector at all, his chance of survival would have skyrocketed. They made several insicions based on the springs and on the bullets.

Wait is it bad that I found it funny that it did not detect the bullet but the springs 😭

If this is true, can you imagine Bell's response after they turned President Garfield into Swiss Cheese, because of the bedspring?
Alexander Graham Bell: "...Oh."

I love james madison, he was so small💀

He says "Thomas Jefferson survives".

@@woodrowwilson4815 thanks

News was slow back then.

I always imagine John Adams entering the afterlife right after saying that, seeing Jefferson, and being all like "wtf are you doing here"

I have hoped he somehow knew Thomas Jefferson had become a Christian. Jefferson was a believer in the idea of God, but had rejected Christ.

He diagnostic with brain cancer, but now he removed the cancer and his health were improving.

@@woodrowwilson4815 The interesting thing about Carter's brain cancer was that it actually originated as skin cancer and later spread to his brain. The funny thing is that his doctors initially diagnosed his brain cancer as being idiopathic (meaning no known cause), but later successfully traced it to a previously undiagnosed skin cancer on his head. Both has been removed and treated with great success.

He has cut back on that due to mobility difficulties (it happens when people get that old) but he's still sharp as a tack.

@@kerrijansson2919 He'll be 98 on October 1st!! He has definitely slowed down as you said because of mobility issue as a result of being of advanced age.

Not only that but Mrs. Carter is still going strong as well! It's incredible that they are both still going strong!

Drake doctor surgeons do the same stupid stuff today. Except they call it exploratory surgery and people usually die in a mere few hours or days. If the surgeons don't kill them the person usually ends up screwed up for years till the day they die.

Oh nooooo

Duck, I thought he was just a silly orange thing but that cat had a tragic biography smh

Can you tell me enough about this for my dad to be able to bring it up to his oncologist?

Chemo kills people, and they know it. Here's the breakdown: sin inevitably causes cancer. Chemo sends one through rigorous suffering in an attempt to humble their spirit, over a length of time, before they pass anyway.

So true! I hope he sees this

@@khalilahd. you're literally everywhere 😭

@@khalilahd. He most likely will. This comment is one of the top comments.

Absolutely!

Right? Like can you imagine how appalled people will be about radiation and chemo treatments for cancer in the future?

I hope that will be the case, medicine needs to constantly evolve, so looking back and not being a little taken aback would almost feel like we did not improved much.

@@safirak7988 Indeed. If we're not looking back and seeing the past as unadvanced, that means we've not advanced much in the future. Stagnation in any tech is a bad thing for humans. Considering the stakes, that's especially so for medical tech.

Unless humanity doesn't destroy himself completely until we get there, yea.

My great grandpa was born in the 1870's, and I grew up with him in my house. He lived a quality life over a hundred years. His natural healthy diet and exercise kept him in good shape. It was his lack of medications that made an impression on me. On occasion, he would have a shot of bourbon to keep the system clean. While medical science is improving, people take for granted how much genes play a role in your health and well being. Staying balanced with your own natural systems. I was taught to stay away from medicine if at all possible. Not because it did not work, but because of the complications and side effects. This info comes from way back then. They were a very tough breed who endured pain way better than we do, now. Their diet and lifestyle was farming, so everything was done with a natural home grown solution. Cough medicine was liquor. Burns treated with aloe, etc...

It wasn't the first time he's been shot at.

That dude was an absolute badass, we could use more like him in politics today.

I’m also surprised Reagan’s assassination attempt wasn’t mentioned either.

@@dietotaku agreed

Obviously we all die but at the same time I'm always surprised Theodore Roosevelt did. 😂 Like nothing kept that guy down.

Come on now lmfao. You don't have to be the most powerful man in the world to get treatment like that. Any billionaire or even multi millionaire will do. People hire their own private doctors who won't ask too many questions and fill up on whatever they wanna get

If the president asked for 200mg Oxy, 40mg Morphine, 60mg Adderall, and 200mg modafinil this morning he would have them by tonight even in 2023. The worst that would happen is a doctor would assign someone to make sure he can't OD not refuse to give the scripts

I was born in Japan but am also American by birthright citizenship (from my mom) and I've had prescriptions for 2 different controlled substances most of my life, Adderall for daily use and modafinil for use as needed. didn't get asked any questions either, because my parents are semi important people (minor diplomats from Germany and the USA) and Japanese doctors spent like 3 seconds with me and said "here now you will perform well like your parents"

you know how much me my mom love JOHN F KENNEDY he deserves to be alive ❤️❤️ dr mike where did you get married i want to see him

@extra victory: so a few things- we know a lot more about prescription medications, dependence, dangerous interactions, and addiction than we did in the 1960s. Also since the npharmaceutical companies have developed a million more medications that are much more preferred and now used way more than "scheduled" drugs. Your case is more of the exception than the rule - I have kids and they don't just throw them on Adderall anymore, they go to other new meds first. And also, helllllooo Adderall shortage 😒 but I digress. Yes. You are correct, people with wealth and/or perceived importance have a much easier time finding doctors who will just prescribe what they're asking for. However, presidents are waaaaay too visible these days, recorded all the time, and along with the insanely horrific toxic political climate right now, it would be WAY HARDER to pull off a JFK situation in 2023. Presidents were afforded much more privacy back then, the press would defer to important politicians rather than be looking for any cracks in the foundation to expose and exploit for their own benefit- gotta get those clicks, and outrage and angertainment are the name of the game in political news today. Somebody somewhere would sell them out, or it would end up the worst case secret in Washington. That's my belief anyway, obviously I could be completely wrong - I know there are ALLLLLLLL KINDS of things that happen without us knowing, all kinds of things being hidden from us all the time, especially when it comes to the health of Presidents ... but ... I still don't think it would be as easy to get away with JFK prescription dependencies or Nixon level alcoholism these days. Presidential campaigns and Presidencies are just so different now and so much more visible.

I heard that recently. Now just imagine the dates of deaths and births in Genesis. People could know many generations later.

Keep in mind that lifespan averages are brought down by infant/child deaths. People who survive into adulthood have a decent chance of reaching old age.

90 in 1826 is pretty impressive imo

90 is not bad in this time frame lol

@@googane7755 thanks

There is give and take. They knew things most doctors are no longer taught, but were faaaaar superior to what is taught today, and they had lack of correct knowledge that we know better today.

I mean the Black Plague was preventable. A majority of the Plague victims could have survived if they practiced good hygiene every day but at the time, it wasn't common to bathe constantly, even among royalty, so the fleas carrying the disease just spread it like wildfire with no one knowing why. Medicine, science, and common sense marches on.

It's even less known that they were rivals as well and despised each other. Adams' last words were "Thomas Jefferson still survives" thinking that his rival finally "won" not knowing Jefferson died hours earlier

@@NSarg04 Actually, they were very close friends for a long time after serving together in the Continental Congress and while on their diplomatic missions in Europe after the Revolutionary War. Then they became rivals during their political days as Vice Presidents and Presidents because they had strong differences of opinion on how the new government should operate and whether to support the French Revolution or not. However, their friendship was actually rekindled after Jefferson's presidency, so they died as good friends. And Adams said "Thomas Jefferson survives." most likely because they were such good friends and because Adams thought Jefferson was a surviving writer of the Declaration of Independence.

Funnily enough Adams never even celebrated the fourth of July cause he signed it on the 2nd so he didn't consider it the real day. Cool facts.

I learned about them dying on the same day from a book called mysteries of the unexplained.

@@allahnah Signed what? I believe he was in the Netherlands during America’s victory.
