WEBVTT - The Doctor Is In 0:00:02.480 --> 0:00:05.680 Hey, folks, welcome to this episode of Amy and TJ. 0:00:05.840 --> 0:00:10.280 We are back on We are back on track, which 0:00:10.320 --> 0:00:12.360 means that I am going to be indrawing all the 0:00:12.440 --> 0:00:15.200 podcasts from now on. Our last one we had a 0:00:15.200 --> 0:00:18.239 little bit of a It didn't go so well, but 0:00:18.440 --> 0:00:19.600 it might have been the best one. 0:00:19.640 --> 0:00:22.720 It was so us last intro, just because I started 0:00:22.760 --> 0:00:24.520 and then I wanted to stop because I didn't like 0:00:24.560 --> 0:00:26.439 how I sounded, and then I got all flustered, and 0:00:26.480 --> 0:00:28.720 you made the suggestion that we just keep going, and 0:00:28.760 --> 0:00:30.520 everyone could just see that I'm not the person who 0:00:30.560 --> 0:00:33.640 should start podcasts, and it worked well. I was going 0:00:33.720 --> 0:00:35.479 to say, you know, when some people just aren't good 0:00:35.479 --> 0:00:37.559 at folding laundry, you know. 0:00:39.920 --> 0:00:41.519 How do we get there? Now we have to. 0:00:42.000 --> 0:00:43.840 I'm saying, when you know you're not good at something, 0:00:43.880 --> 0:00:45.559 and then you say, see I'm not good at it, 0:00:45.600 --> 0:00:46.800 then you don't have to do it anymore. 0:00:47.680 --> 0:00:49.559 Okay, but why did the folding and the laundry come 0:00:49.560 --> 0:00:49.919 into play? 0:00:50.040 --> 0:00:51.720 Because that's what men do. They're like, I'm terrible at 0:00:51.720 --> 0:00:54.360 folding laundry. I can't fold on you're not in that category. 0:00:54.760 --> 0:00:57.120 But a lot of guys will just deliberately be bad 0:00:57.160 --> 0:00:58.680 at something, so they don't have to do it anymore. 0:00:58.680 --> 0:01:02.160 Oh what I was referencing, that's not another thing. 0:01:02.200 --> 0:01:04.040 That is a thing, like what a thing? 0:01:04.280 --> 0:01:05.440 Like what dishes and laws? 0:01:05.840 --> 0:01:07.800 Yeah, they're not good at it. They don't know how 0:01:07.800 --> 0:01:08.200 to do it. 0:01:08.880 --> 0:01:11.080 What was that? We were out with a friend last night. 0:01:11.520 --> 0:01:14.000 We had a wild night last night. We did and 0:01:14.080 --> 0:01:16.240 I don't know it's it was wild because anytime we 0:01:16.280 --> 0:01:18.959 go up with this particular friend, it gets interesting. And 0:01:19.000 --> 0:01:20.920 I don't you know why we keep saying this. It's 0:01:20.920 --> 0:01:23.200 not a it's not a secret. Charles Barkley is a 0:01:23.319 --> 0:01:25.759 very good friend of mine and we've gone back seventeen 0:01:25.840 --> 0:01:28.640 years and he's been doing a CNN show for the 0:01:28.680 --> 0:01:31.920 past several months. So now I get Chuck in down 0:01:32.000 --> 0:01:32.520 every week. 0:01:32.800 --> 0:01:40.760 So Wednesday nights are usually lit. Wednesday nights are lit. Yeah, 0:01:41.160 --> 0:01:45.880 and they get crazy. It attracts other people and you're 0:01:45.959 --> 0:01:47.600 having in a moment where you're like, how is this 0:01:47.640 --> 0:01:48.480 my life right now? 0:01:48.720 --> 0:01:51.400 Yeah? So we had that last night and we didn't 0:01:51.440 --> 0:01:53.880 want to go Chuck. You'll hear us sale on this 0:01:53.920 --> 0:01:58.520 podcast everyone every almost once a week, like, oh I 0:01:58.600 --> 0:02:00.320 got a friend in town, we might have to go 0:02:00.360 --> 0:02:02.960 out tonight, and sure enough, yesterday was a cold, rainy, 0:02:03.200 --> 0:02:06.680 nasty day in New York. We had a long, very 0:02:07.080 --> 0:02:11.920 just busy day. And man, he said, yeah, nine o'clock. 0:02:12.880 --> 0:02:16.840 It's on nine o'clock, nine p's that's a late night 0:02:16.880 --> 0:02:17.240 for us. 0:02:17.280 --> 0:02:20.960 We ate dinner at seven. We had a couple of drains, sweatpants. 0:02:21.040 --> 0:02:25.000 We were done. Then we go out. He tells us 0:02:25.040 --> 0:02:28.240 me this at a place and the plate the restaurant. 0:02:28.240 --> 0:02:32.000 Actually there, they have more than one. They have more 0:02:32.040 --> 0:02:36.320 than one. Vocation didn't specify which location. So we're in 0:02:36.360 --> 0:02:38.880 the rain. We go to the wrong restaurant. 0:02:38.960 --> 0:02:39.160 Yep. 0:02:40.000 --> 0:02:41.880 Have to get back in an uber and go to 0:02:41.520 --> 0:02:44.800 the real place. I can't. I started telling all that 0:02:44.840 --> 0:02:46.440 because you made me think of something about the folding 0:02:46.440 --> 0:02:49.520 of the clothes. He made some comments last night that 0:02:49.560 --> 0:02:53.440 were wildly offensive about what men and women should do 0:02:53.520 --> 0:02:56.280 in the house, and to your point about the folding 0:02:56.320 --> 0:02:59.280 of the laundry. As a man, I am ocd as 0:02:59.320 --> 0:03:01.520 you call it, Yes, and so I prefer to do 0:03:01.600 --> 0:03:05.040 things my way and to fold things my way. You're 0:03:05.120 --> 0:03:08.880 better at it, truly, But in my place, I would 0:03:08.919 --> 0:03:10.720 rather have my bad folding situation. 0:03:11.360 --> 0:03:13.480 And it's one of the many things I love about you. 0:03:15.160 --> 0:03:17.520 That I would rather do it poorly than to have 0:03:17.680 --> 0:03:21.080 you do it correct. Okay, I applaud that I do 0:03:21.320 --> 0:03:23.560 wash the dishes. I don't know I've what else? What 0:03:23.600 --> 0:03:25.680 do I pass off on you? 0:03:25.680 --> 0:03:27.640 You don't pass off anything on me. I think you 0:03:27.680 --> 0:03:30.320 actually really are self sufficient, which is great. You could 0:03:30.320 --> 0:03:32.480 do a better job of cleaning up after you give 0:03:32.520 --> 0:03:36.560 yourself haircuts. But that's a little gross good and I'm 0:03:36.560 --> 0:03:37.920 not going to clean that up and you haven't asked 0:03:37.920 --> 0:03:38.080 me to. 0:03:38.440 --> 0:03:40.080 Is it gross? It just hair? Why is it? That's 0:03:40.120 --> 0:03:42.160 That's the one thing that when it leaves your body, it's. 0:03:42.080 --> 0:03:44.480 Fils and hair and hair. When they leave your body, 0:03:44.480 --> 0:03:47.040 they are disgusting. I don't want to be near them. 0:03:47.120 --> 0:03:49.760 I'm putting my fingers through your hair now as we talk. 0:03:50.080 --> 0:03:58.440 But if this is in my shower, ill exactly all right. 0:03:58.480 --> 0:04:01.320 So that's that was our night in our day now 0:04:01.680 --> 0:04:04.080 has a lot to do. We've talked here ropes plenty 0:04:04.160 --> 0:04:10.280 about some health struggles that we've had, some minor, some major. 0:04:11.280 --> 0:04:13.600 Some of yours have been documented as more major. But 0:04:13.640 --> 0:04:17.240 everybody has little this and that around the house. I 0:04:17.279 --> 0:04:19.919 don't know how well of a job we do. We 0:04:19.960 --> 0:04:21.880 talk about men a lot of times in this situation. 0:04:21.960 --> 0:04:23.680 If it ain't broken, ain't bleeding, we ain't going to 0:04:23.720 --> 0:04:26.120 the doctor. Period. And you've seen this probably play out 0:04:26.480 --> 0:04:28.400 with me in ways you didn't appreciate. 0:04:28.920 --> 0:04:31.600 Yes, men are like that for sure, and I'm actually 0:04:31.640 --> 0:04:34.479 like that too. Some people get one pain and go 0:04:34.520 --> 0:04:36.039 straight to the doctor and want to know what it is, 0:04:36.080 --> 0:04:38.200 and I think that's amazing. I'm the opposite. I don't 0:04:38.240 --> 0:04:40.039 want to know, and I'll put it off until it 0:04:40.040 --> 0:04:42.720 becomes a problem big enough that I actually am forced 0:04:42.800 --> 0:04:46.080 to go. And everyone I think it's whether or not 0:04:46.120 --> 0:04:47.920 you're a warrior or not. Are you a warrior? 0:04:48.480 --> 0:04:50.159 I don't know, am I? I don't know. 0:04:49.800 --> 0:04:53.960 I don't think you are. I'm not a worrier at all, 0:04:54.040 --> 0:04:56.360 and so therefore I always assume it's going to be fine, 0:04:56.920 --> 0:05:00.279 which is actually really bad when it comes to staying healthy. 0:05:00.320 --> 0:05:01.760 Sometimes it's been working out great for you. 0:05:02.360 --> 0:05:04.000 I'm still here. I'm still here. 0:05:04.040 --> 0:05:04.760 That's what you're going with. 0:05:05.040 --> 0:05:08.520 Yeah, made it to fifty one. 0:05:08.640 --> 0:05:12.480 That's not what I meant. But look at the house. 0:05:13.000 --> 0:05:17.880 What are the basics? Advil and band aids, that's kind 0:05:17.880 --> 0:05:20.440 of it. What else is an emergency kid around your house. 0:05:20.480 --> 0:05:24.119 So I actually have antibiotics just because when I travel 0:05:24.160 --> 0:05:27.200 internationally and also because I am immuno compromised slightly because 0:05:27.200 --> 0:05:30.960 I'm missing lymph nodes. I do have I do carry. 0:05:31.120 --> 0:05:34.960 I do carry antibiotics with me. I do I have zipro. 0:05:35.160 --> 0:05:36.280 You have two EpiPens. 0:05:36.320 --> 0:05:41.960 I do have EpiPens too, because what else. I definitely 0:05:41.960 --> 0:05:44.320 like to carry some acids around just in case you 0:05:44.360 --> 0:05:46.840 eat something you don't like, doesn't sit well with you. 0:05:47.000 --> 0:05:50.680 Wow, Okay, I don't know how well most people do. 0:05:51.000 --> 0:05:53.600 I think at the house we try to when something's 0:05:53.600 --> 0:05:56.280 going on. I think sabine the little ones kids. It 0:05:56.320 --> 0:05:58.080 might be a little different where you have the tendency 0:05:58.120 --> 0:06:00.479 to just rush to the emergency room, but you don't. 0:06:00.560 --> 0:06:02.720 I mean, that's just parent. You just kind of have 0:06:02.839 --> 0:06:03.919 that and you kind of want to do it. But 0:06:03.920 --> 0:06:05.960 a lot of people try to avoid the emergency room. 0:06:06.240 --> 0:06:09.039 Someone has to do with money. Some of it has 0:06:09.080 --> 0:06:11.200 to do with it. Yes, the coverage, you have the 0:06:11.240 --> 0:06:14.279 fear of going in there, But there are times you 0:06:14.279 --> 0:06:17.160 need to get to the emergency room. Or maybe you 0:06:17.160 --> 0:06:20.080 should just have an emergency room doctor on standby that 0:06:20.160 --> 0:06:22.279 can maybe answer some of your questions, and that's what 0:06:22.279 --> 0:06:23.000 we're trying to get at. 0:06:23.000 --> 0:06:26.880 To me, that sounds a lot more digestible to me. Yes, 0:06:27.000 --> 0:06:30.200 and so we are very very lucky to have someone 0:06:30.240 --> 0:06:33.080 many of you may have already seen on TikTok and 0:06:33.120 --> 0:06:36.760 on social media, doctor Dari along. She goes by doctor Daria, 0:06:36.800 --> 0:06:39.040 but she is joining us from one of our favorite 0:06:39.160 --> 0:06:42.440 favorite places in the world, Atlanta, Ga. So, doctor Daria, 0:06:42.520 --> 0:06:43.520 thanks for being with us. 0:06:44.480 --> 0:06:46.000 Hijay, thank you. 0:06:46.279 --> 0:06:49.520 All right, doctor Daria, help us. What'll we're gonna get 0:06:49.600 --> 0:06:51.800 right in. We'll talk about your viral videos and things 0:06:51.800 --> 0:06:54.279 you've talked about. Let's jump right in for everybody listening. 0:06:54.600 --> 0:06:57.119 What needs to be in that cabinet at the house. 0:06:57.200 --> 0:06:59.880 Everybody needs, Like everybody's health situation is a little different, 0:07:00.160 --> 0:07:02.920 but the absolute basics that need to be in there, 0:07:03.160 --> 0:07:05.760 advil and band aids. That kind of covers it, right. 0:07:06.960 --> 0:07:10.239 Yes, I love how Amy was like, I got some antibiotic, 0:07:11.120 --> 0:07:13.680 I got some I got some ivy fluid. 0:07:13.880 --> 0:07:15.680 Well, I do have some pampus there. 0:07:15.760 --> 0:07:18.880 I mean, what all do you have in there? No? 0:07:19.120 --> 0:07:24.040 But so yes, I always say, you know, have a 0:07:24.640 --> 0:07:29.280 non non steroidal anti inflammatory like hypoprofen, motrin something like that, 0:07:29.520 --> 0:07:32.240 and you need to have that in whatever formulations for 0:07:32.280 --> 0:07:36.000 your ages, like adult children's invent You know, I have ten, 0:07:36.120 --> 0:07:38.800 seven and eight month old, so I have all the 0:07:39.240 --> 0:07:43.400 concentrations steeda menifin. I also then throw in yes, you 0:07:43.400 --> 0:07:45.920 get your band aids, get your gauze, get something for 0:07:46.080 --> 0:07:49.480 allergies like a benadr because did y'all know that if 0:07:49.520 --> 0:07:51.560 you start to have an allergy coming on, you want 0:07:51.600 --> 0:07:53.880 to actually take that as quickly as possible because you 0:07:53.920 --> 0:07:57.400 want to snuff out that histemininergic reaction. So you don't 0:07:57.440 --> 0:07:59.840 want to say, oh, we're having an allergic reaction, so 0:08:00.000 --> 0:08:02.040 somebody run at the pharmacy to pick up padrill. You 0:08:02.080 --> 0:08:04.280 want to take it faster, so always have that in 0:08:04.360 --> 0:08:04.840 there too. 0:08:05.080 --> 0:08:06.280 That's great, Can I ask there? 0:08:06.280 --> 0:08:08.520 Because someone told me A lot of people probably deal 0:08:08.560 --> 0:08:11.040 with this. I was told this finally years ago. But 0:08:11.160 --> 0:08:14.760 I had some very bad allergies that caused a post 0:08:14.840 --> 0:08:16.600 NAVS drip. Ended up with a call fro and an infection. 0:08:16.760 --> 0:08:19.160 It was just nasty and it lasted for months. Never 0:08:19.200 --> 0:08:22.280 did anything but drink water and just deal with it 0:08:22.320 --> 0:08:25.520 for months. I was told the Clarton I take don't 0:08:25.560 --> 0:08:28.920 wait until allergy season. Start taking just pop one every 0:08:29.000 --> 0:08:32.240 day while you're fine, and then when allergy season does come, 0:08:32.600 --> 0:08:34.640 you're gonna be Okay. That seems to be working. But 0:08:34.960 --> 0:08:35.720 is that the advice? 0:08:36.600 --> 0:08:39.800 It's exactly right, son. People they wait until like they're 0:08:39.840 --> 0:08:42.480 like you said, you just look the noses draining and 0:08:43.000 --> 0:08:44.960 you're behind the eight ball by then. So if you 0:08:45.000 --> 0:08:47.480 know you get allergies every year, start a few weeks 0:08:47.520 --> 0:08:49.559 early to take your anti allergy metachin. 0:08:49.640 --> 0:08:51.160 That And I've seen it work with you and I 0:08:51.200 --> 0:08:53.800 had never heard that before. And mine's about to start, 0:08:53.840 --> 0:08:57.120 so I should probably jump on the Clearton train very soon. 0:08:57.200 --> 0:08:59.320 Here what Claton train? 0:08:59.760 --> 0:09:02.079 I'm I'm going to jump in with a with a 0:09:02.120 --> 0:09:05.560 big question, Doctor Daria, what is your most important life 0:09:05.640 --> 0:09:07.880 saving advice to the average person? 0:09:08.920 --> 0:09:12.360 Ooh, most important? I mean, let's just go to the top, Amy, Like, 0:09:12.400 --> 0:09:13.920 let's just find the number one thing I would think 0:09:13.960 --> 0:09:18.160 it would be. Actually, no CPR. Know what to do 0:09:18.240 --> 0:09:20.880 if somebody needs CPR, and that includes I count in 0:09:20.920 --> 0:09:26.040 their CPR, drowning, choking. Take a course, like literally physically 0:09:26.080 --> 0:09:28.400 go take a course. Practice on a dummy. Know what 0:09:28.440 --> 0:09:32.240 you're going to do. Because as an er doctor, people 0:09:32.240 --> 0:09:34.720 say like, how do you say so calm in an emergency? 0:09:35.000 --> 0:09:37.680 It's not that I'm anything special or magic. It is 0:09:37.679 --> 0:09:41.560 that I have practiced, so I know if somebody is 0:09:41.640 --> 0:09:44.120 choking or comes in from a drowning or in cardiac arrest, 0:09:44.360 --> 0:09:46.560 I already know what I'm going to do. And I 0:09:46.600 --> 0:09:50.160 think that especially for parents, but everybody listening. If you 0:09:50.400 --> 0:09:53.000 know what your plan is ahead of time, that A 0:09:53.280 --> 0:09:55.280 helps you save somebody's life in the moment, and B 0:09:55.400 --> 0:09:57.600 it gives you peace of mind because you're less scared 0:09:57.720 --> 0:10:00.280 about it and thinking about all the scenarios. 0:10:00.320 --> 0:10:02.640 On the CPR thing. I think a lot of people 0:10:02.880 --> 0:10:05.520 and you're right, I've had a course over the years 0:10:05.520 --> 0:10:06.839 at some point, but that was in college a long 0:10:06.880 --> 0:10:09.400 time ago. I don't know if a lot of people 0:10:09.440 --> 0:10:12.240 will take the time to go do that. So in 0:10:12.280 --> 0:10:14.480 case they don't, I know you recommend that, But in 0:10:14.520 --> 0:10:17.080 case they don't, what is a can you give a 0:10:17.160 --> 0:10:19.000 quick or brief or tell them to go to a 0:10:19.040 --> 0:10:21.480 YouTube video? What can you tell them to still kind 0:10:21.480 --> 0:10:23.120 of get up to speed if they don't take the 0:10:23.160 --> 0:10:24.280 time to go take a course. 0:10:24.960 --> 0:10:27.160 Yes, absolutely, those are some of the videos that I 0:10:27.200 --> 0:10:30.400 create TJ. That's a great question because yes, best case scenario, 0:10:30.480 --> 0:10:32.360 go take a class. But if you're not going to, 0:10:32.480 --> 0:10:34.680 or if you did ten years ago or five years ago, 0:10:35.160 --> 0:10:37.720 you're not going to take a class every year, that's fine, 0:10:37.880 --> 0:10:41.240 watch a video refresher. So I do a video repressure 0:10:41.240 --> 0:10:43.760 on like how to use an AED, because just that 0:10:43.800 --> 0:10:46.240 those defibrillators that you see, you see them in the mall, 0:10:46.320 --> 0:10:49.880 in the grocery store, to help people be to demystify 0:10:49.960 --> 0:10:52.400 them and understand how to do that, how to do 0:10:52.520 --> 0:10:55.800 CPR TJ. When you learn CPR, it was probably still 0:10:55.800 --> 0:10:58.559 doing mouth to mouth. We don't do that anymore adults. 0:10:58.840 --> 0:11:01.480 You just do compression only. So here's what you need 0:11:01.520 --> 0:11:04.400 to know. You do you see somebody there collapse there down, 0:11:04.920 --> 0:11:07.760 somebody go gets to see AED. You start CPR to 0:11:07.840 --> 0:11:10.840 the beat of the BEG staying alive, and you just 0:11:10.920 --> 0:11:13.959 do that until the AED comes and then until nine 0:11:14.000 --> 0:11:16.840 one one arrives. It is that simple. But exactly that's 0:11:16.880 --> 0:11:19.080 why I make videos for how to handle a child 0:11:19.200 --> 0:11:22.360 choking or infan choking, all of those, so that people 0:11:22.400 --> 0:11:24.760 can come and at least watch it and have an 0:11:24.800 --> 0:11:25.679 idea of what to do. 0:11:26.000 --> 0:11:27.839 I love that you say know what you're going to 0:11:27.920 --> 0:11:30.800 do in case of because I know when I when 0:11:30.800 --> 0:11:33.200 my kids were little, choking and drowning, those were my 0:11:33.280 --> 0:11:36.000 two biggest fears, and it was just what would I do? 0:11:36.120 --> 0:11:39.040 How do I handle it? How do overcoming panic? Is 0:11:39.080 --> 0:11:40.800 simply by being prepared? Correct. 0:11:41.640 --> 0:11:43.559 I think it's two things. I think it's being prepared 0:11:43.600 --> 0:11:45.600 and then when you're in that moment no matter what, 0:11:45.720 --> 0:11:49.040 we all have the like oh bleep moment just taking 0:11:49.040 --> 0:11:51.199 a break, and me like I know what to do, Okay, 0:11:51.280 --> 0:11:53.440 I can do this. So it's those two things. It's 0:11:53.679 --> 0:11:55.760 being prepared and then when you're in the moment saying 0:11:56.080 --> 0:11:59.400 I prepared for this, I can do this, focus taken 0:11:59.440 --> 0:11:59.839 care of it. 0:12:00.480 --> 0:12:03.040 And one of you were, I mean, this is also 0:12:03.120 --> 0:12:05.120 very timely. We were looking at some of your videos 0:12:05.120 --> 0:12:07.480 and some of them have gone extremely viral. And the 0:12:07.520 --> 0:12:10.400 one that really is interesting is something that happened just 0:12:10.679 --> 0:12:12.800 a short while ago, the bridge collapse. We all saw 0:12:12.800 --> 0:12:18.320 it happen in Baltimore, and I think almost everyone listening 0:12:18.360 --> 0:12:20.559 here has driven over a bridge and has had that worry, 0:12:20.600 --> 0:12:23.880 like what would happen if something hit this bridge or 0:12:23.920 --> 0:12:25.880 my car went into the water for whatever reason, there 0:12:25.880 --> 0:12:28.440 was an accident, and it crosses your mind. It's so 0:12:28.640 --> 0:12:31.160 extremely rare, Teajer. You looked up the. 0:12:31.200 --> 0:12:33.040 Numbers, right, yeah, I mean we're talking again. If it 0:12:33.040 --> 0:12:35.320 happens to you, then you would think it happens a lot. 0:12:35.360 --> 0:12:38.080 But we're talking to a few hundred three to four hundred, 0:12:38.280 --> 0:12:41.120 by the estimates, of people a year that die in 0:12:41.200 --> 0:12:44.319 a submerged vehicle. So obviously we know it doesn't happen 0:12:44.320 --> 0:12:46.880 that often, but so many of us feel like it 0:12:46.920 --> 0:12:49.120 could happen to us, especially after we see something like 0:12:49.480 --> 0:12:50.240 happen in Baltimore. 0:12:50.280 --> 0:12:53.760 That's right, So you put up some tips on TikTok, 0:12:53.800 --> 0:12:57.040 and I believe that video got thirteen point five million views, 0:12:57.080 --> 0:13:01.760 which just shows that people want to know what could 0:13:01.760 --> 0:13:04.240 I do? What should I do if this happens, even 0:13:04.280 --> 0:13:07.440 though it's almost assuredly not going to It's interesting to 0:13:07.440 --> 0:13:11.160 see you tapped into this fear that we all have, 0:13:12.040 --> 0:13:14.400 even when it's so rare, we still want to know. 0:13:14.480 --> 0:13:19.640 So what is it that people should know? And I 0:13:19.679 --> 0:13:22.120 also just want to know why you think people really 0:13:22.280 --> 0:13:24.000 reacted to that so strongly. 0:13:25.240 --> 0:13:27.880 So I mean that video, you're right, and what kind 0:13:27.880 --> 0:13:31.199 of wild across all of the platforms, social media platforms, 0:13:31.200 --> 0:13:33.520 and what it actually started from is I was driving 0:13:33.520 --> 0:13:35.880 across a bridge with my husband and my kids in 0:13:35.920 --> 0:13:39.160 the car. You know, again, as an er doctor, I 0:13:39.480 --> 0:13:41.560 it is my job to think of all the things 0:13:41.600 --> 0:13:44.040 that can go wrong, and not to sit there and 0:13:44.040 --> 0:13:46.080 fixate on that, but to say, okay, so what would 0:13:46.080 --> 0:13:47.520 I do? I mean, I do that. I'm on a 0:13:47.559 --> 0:13:50.880 plane and I think if they call me overhead, what 0:13:50.920 --> 0:13:52.719 am I going to do at resources? Who's going to 0:13:52.760 --> 0:13:55.160 watch my kids? If somebody's choking? What do I have? 0:13:55.280 --> 0:13:58.920 You know? I remember, I know the exits. I'm always 0:13:58.960 --> 0:14:01.200 thinking about that. And I was driving over the bridge 0:14:01.200 --> 0:14:04.120 and I thought, you know, that's a scenario that I 0:14:04.200 --> 0:14:06.720 don't know what to do. Yes, I've taken care of 0:14:06.840 --> 0:14:10.120 people who have come from a submersion, but in the moment, 0:14:10.160 --> 0:14:13.240 I don't know, And as a mom that made me 0:14:13.280 --> 0:14:15.440 worried it. As an er doctor, I was like, I 0:14:15.480 --> 0:14:19.360 need to know. So I started reaching out to you know, firefighters, 0:14:19.440 --> 0:14:23.040 police officers, kind of first responders and started kind of 0:14:23.080 --> 0:14:24.960 planning do them. This was like a month or two ago, 0:14:25.320 --> 0:14:27.120 and then there was a story of a woman who 0:14:27.160 --> 0:14:30.200 had drowned in a lake, which is really far more common. 0:14:30.200 --> 0:14:32.280 That's so we see more, you know, far few people 0:14:32.400 --> 0:14:35.200 drive off a bridge and you know, land in the water. 0:14:35.280 --> 0:14:37.520 Then you know, just drive into a lake, or they 0:14:37.600 --> 0:14:40.320 drive in a street that's flooded and they don't realize 0:14:40.360 --> 0:14:42.440 how deep that puddle is and their car starts to 0:14:42.440 --> 0:14:45.720 build with water. So I had posted that, and then 0:14:45.800 --> 0:14:48.800 yes it was posted. It had done very well before 0:14:48.920 --> 0:14:51.280 the Francis Scott Keybridge, and then after that, of course 0:14:51.320 --> 0:14:54.800 everybody was looking and I think what it was, And 0:14:54.800 --> 0:14:56.480 now I'll get to the tips. Is a get an 0:14:56.680 --> 0:14:58.120 er doctor. I want you to have a plan, and 0:14:58.160 --> 0:15:00.600 I want it to be simple, because when you are 0:15:00.680 --> 0:15:02.760 scared and you are panicked, you're not going to remember 0:15:02.760 --> 0:15:05.560 my thirty step process. You're gonna remember the three things 0:15:05.560 --> 0:15:06.920 I told you or the one thing. So that's what 0:15:06.920 --> 0:15:08.800 I always do, is what's the plan? How to keep 0:15:08.840 --> 0:15:12.360 it simple? So for that one, it's swak and I 0:15:12.400 --> 0:15:14.040 did not make up. The mnemonic is from a guy 0:15:14.040 --> 0:15:18.840 who's actually studies car submersions out of Manitoba in Canada, 0:15:19.200 --> 0:15:22.360 and so it's seatbelts off, window open, and that pretty 0:15:22.400 --> 0:15:24.640 much happens at the same time and then get out. 0:15:24.760 --> 0:15:26.880 And then he's added c in there to say, you know, 0:15:26.960 --> 0:15:29.720 get the children out and get your oldest out first, 0:15:30.440 --> 0:15:32.800 mainly because he said, you know, if you are trying 0:15:32.800 --> 0:15:35.600 to hold your toddler and then undo other kids seatbelts, 0:15:35.720 --> 0:15:37.680 you're not going to get anybody out. Versus you get 0:15:37.720 --> 0:15:40.120 your oldest child out, they can fend for themselves. They 0:15:40.120 --> 0:15:41.800 can hold on to the car for a second while 0:15:41.840 --> 0:15:43.400 you get the other ones young as done, and then 0:15:43.400 --> 0:15:46.200 you just swim out. And so another key thing he 0:15:46.320 --> 0:15:48.800 said is that, especially newer cars, you cannot rely on 0:15:48.880 --> 0:15:52.160 window breakers, so literally, as soon as you can get 0:15:52.160 --> 0:15:52.880 those windows down. 0:16:01.760 --> 0:16:04.800 We've done stories over the years about such a thing, 0:16:04.800 --> 0:16:07.760 and I've used a window breaker live on TV before, 0:16:08.000 --> 0:16:10.720 and we've done demos. So it's always not work. 0:16:10.840 --> 0:16:13.000 That one time. Were you the one I remember trying 0:16:13.040 --> 0:16:16.040 to get it to break? It works? I've seen that 0:16:16.080 --> 0:16:18.160 happen on my television too, which is actually a good 0:16:18.200 --> 0:16:20.280 thing to remember. To your point, doctor Darian, they don't 0:16:20.320 --> 0:16:21.040 always work. 0:16:22.440 --> 0:16:25.400 No, I bought one. I had bought an entire set 0:16:25.440 --> 0:16:27.480 for all of our cars about three months ago, and 0:16:27.520 --> 0:16:28.840 I'm talking to this guy and he's like, yeah, I 0:16:28.880 --> 0:16:32.720 think they probably won't work. Just in case. 0:16:32.800 --> 0:16:37.000 You mentioned planes, and your theme here always is just 0:16:37.080 --> 0:16:39.400 know what you're going to do, have a plan. We 0:16:39.520 --> 0:16:41.480 just happen to be. Always think about this on the plane, 0:16:41.480 --> 0:16:44.520 about a medical emergency, like what I would do if 0:16:44.560 --> 0:16:47.640 I wasn't okay, or if somebody next to me wasn't okay, 0:16:47.640 --> 0:16:49.480 if somebody I'm traveling with. We happen to land the 0:16:49.520 --> 0:16:52.600 other day from a five plus hour flight from LA 0:16:53.240 --> 0:16:55.640 We get back at eleven o'clock at night. We land, 0:16:55.720 --> 0:16:57.640 and the pilot comes on and says, you can't get 0:16:57.680 --> 0:17:00.160 off the plane because we have someone on board was 0:17:00.200 --> 0:17:02.720 having a medical situation and we all had I know, 0:17:02.760 --> 0:17:05.600 people were frustrated and just have to sit there. Don't 0:17:05.600 --> 0:17:07.520 know what the person's issue was, but they eventually got 0:17:07.560 --> 0:17:09.879 them off and we got off. But when you're in 0:17:09.920 --> 0:17:12.480 a five hour flight, a four hour flight, a three 0:17:12.520 --> 0:17:16.320 hour flight, and you're thirty thousand feet and how do 0:17:16.400 --> 0:17:19.679 you prepare? How do you think ahead to a medical 0:17:19.680 --> 0:17:22.360 emergency you might have, or your loved one might have, 0:17:22.440 --> 0:17:24.800 your child might have. How do you prepare for that 0:17:25.359 --> 0:17:27.960 scenario which could be almost anything. And then you hear 0:17:28.000 --> 0:17:30.919 an announcement is there a doctor on board? All right? 0:17:30.960 --> 0:17:33.439 And then we're in the whole airplane movie situation and 0:17:34.040 --> 0:17:36.160 it comes to Leslie Nielsen trying to save the day. 0:17:36.160 --> 0:17:38.880 We don't want that, y'all. 0:17:39.160 --> 0:17:41.120 And this is one of those nearest I remember being 0:17:41.200 --> 0:17:44.359 pre med and thinking like when they call overhead, is 0:17:44.400 --> 0:17:46.359 there a doctor on board? You know, I'll be like 0:17:46.480 --> 0:17:50.400 el Wood to be like, yeah, oh fabulous, I'll come 0:17:50.440 --> 0:17:53.720 in with my cape for once you're actually that person 0:17:53.760 --> 0:17:57.320 and you're like, h come on, let there be another 0:17:57.400 --> 0:18:00.520 doctor on board. I'm here with my three kids. But 0:18:01.000 --> 0:18:02.760 just this little story. And my husband and I were 0:18:02.800 --> 0:18:07.119 flying back from I think Denver's Denver or Vegas or 0:18:07.119 --> 0:18:10.160 something was somewhere out there, going back to Boston and 0:18:10.200 --> 0:18:12.560 we had just you know, ten minutes up in the air, 0:18:12.640 --> 0:18:15.159 and they said, it's there a doctrunboard. Now, incidentally, my 0:18:15.280 --> 0:18:19.639 husband is an orthopedic surgeon, but so is. He started 0:18:19.680 --> 0:18:25.119 being like here, she's right here, she's right here. So 0:18:25.280 --> 0:18:27.480 of course I go and I stand up, and my 0:18:27.560 --> 0:18:33.920 husband's like, call me if their shoulders dislocate. Super helpful, 0:18:34.080 --> 0:18:38.880 So thanks love. And it was actually a gentleman who 0:18:38.960 --> 0:18:44.920
