Ken Jeong Answers Medical Questions From Twitter | Tech Support | WIRED

Hello, I'm Dr. Ken Jung from Dr. Ken and welcome to Doc Support. Okay, first question from Ashley on dizzy. How do I know if I have the stomach flu or a hangover? Well, honey, did you drink last night? H glug glug, did you eat or did you drink alcohol? The internet is not for stupidity ma'am, the internet is for established and intelligent doctors like me and my friend Louis, think before you tweet. Okay, another question. Well, Kelly Sheridan. Finally, a big question: How much vitamin C is too much? Yeah sometimes too many vitamins are too many, these things always come up on

medical

shows, like should I take this supplement, should I take this supplement and honestly you can get hypervitaminosis, like if you go to GNC or some other stories that will say like Oh, this one.

You get about 2,000% of the recommended daily amount of vitamin C. You can actually have side effects and gastrointestinal symptoms or symptoms from too much of the vitamin, so it's probably good to get about 100% of the recommended daily amount, which is really everything you need. great question Kelly Sheridan I'm not supposed to pick favorites uh they said no to the producers but you're my favorite appetite macaroni says I have a weird skin tag under my eye that hurts when I pull it off what's up with that skin? The tag is called skin poop in real life and is represented, it can be anywhere on your body.

I think to rip off any injury you don't know right under the eye. I honestly can't think of a more unfortunate way. Stupid move than that can numb the area, cut it out. In fact, when I was practicing medicine, someone had skin tags on their arm or limbs, you could always freeze it with liquid nitrogen and it doesn't hurt, I highly recommend it. have a professional professionally remove it mhm on the handlebars Captain ask now can we address the knee reflex test in the doctor's office? This has to be useless, right, no it's not useless, we're not monkeys who use them only as accessories, we're not.

Doctors Carrot Top here and I can show you right here this is a knee there's a tendon that connects the knee to the leg bone okay it's called the tibia there's a tendon here you want to check the reflex of this go Oh, let me. just check that and what that means is it actually checks your entire nervous system in many ways to see that if your reflexes are intact, low thyroid levels in your body, which is very common called high H thyroidism, you will actually be hypoxic and you wouldn't be able to elicit many reflexes, so this sucker is very important.

Okay, don't make fun of our tools. Okay, we are professionals and we are emotionally sensitive. check it here, even check it here on your leg, a baby could tell you how to take a pulse, oh come on, anyone can ask anything, no, no, you can't, you can't ask any

questions

on Twitter, just don't defend yourself, be quiet. Upstairs, sorry, I had to see that it was just me and Lou getting into all this and whatever, okay, move on. Ruio Kubo says: Do I really need my two kidneys? Do you know what is part of the complete kidney transplant area?

I have heard of people donating kidneys to other people in need who have kidney failure. Technically, one can survive with only one kidney if it functions normally. Very good question. I hope to have more

questions

I bet one says why do I always get cramps or spasms all over my leg NE every day #ouch #d doelp I don't sleep for me they would definitely get me checked the pain or spasm in my legs can be caused by a multitude of things in Instead of saying what are those 100 things that you really need to see a doctor to determine if it's a neurological in nature, if it's endocrinological in nature, a lot of different things could be done, okay, good question, okay, in Heist, EHS pain, quick, what are the three parts of the brainstem, first to respond with the correct answer, tomorrow you will get a prize, study exam, smiling emoji with glasses, okay then, three parts of the brainstem They are the medulla, the ponds, the midbrain and the medulla.

I am an intelligent man. Be quiet. I forgot it. I've been busy making hangover films in Wigan Steven. Ask a doctor here. Can I drink alcoholic substances. while taking antibiotics for arthritis #doel #d doctors you know what is actually a great question arthy which one is which orthopedic is a registered trademark that can cause stomach upset and is also metabolized in the liver so I would check with their doctors to see exactly how much.

Antibiotics are taken. I generally advise against drinking alcohol while taking antibiotics because many antibiotics are metabolized in the liver. You don't want to overload them with too many things that can be toxic to the liver. Well, Bing, uh, 14, ask what it is. the part of the brain that will deal with my emotional breakdown tomorrow #apsy there are a lot of parts of your brain that are going to be a little stressed to take a test so I wish you the best of luck and I know you will do it Well, okay , in St Bunny, ask if anyone has any ideas on how to relieve sinus headaches and pressure.
