  Speaker 1: Yeah, Hey, I have a question for you, doctor Cobble.
• 1:38
  Speaker 1: Like been meaning to ask you this for a long time.
• 1:41
  Speaker 1: Is it important to know what your blood type is?
• 1:45
  Speaker 4: I don't think so.
• 1:48
  Speaker 1: Really, it's not important for individuals to know what.
• 1:52
  Speaker 4: It is now, not unless you're going to get a
• 1:54
  Speaker 4: major surgery or may have to have a blood transfusion.
• 1:56
  Speaker 4: But typically I don't think that's a that's important.
• 2:00
  Speaker 3: Crazy right now, do you know your blood type?
• 2:02
  Speaker 1: I do not.
• 2:03
  Speaker 3: Oh, Gina, I don't I know. I'm oh, I don't
• 2:07
  Speaker 3: remember if I'm positive.
• 2:09
  Speaker 1: I am negative. I do know my blood type, but
• 2:11
  Speaker 1: I had surgery so well, I've had plenty of surgery.
• 2:14
  Speaker 3: I guess that's true.
• 2:15
  Speaker 1: You've had more than I have, and I don't. I
• 2:17
  Speaker 1: don't know. Do you know my blood type?
• 2:19
  Speaker 4: Doctor Cobble, I was just thinking about your surgery, and
• 2:24
  Speaker 4: you're abby normal.
• 2:28
  Speaker 1: That's a great way to remember it.
• 2:31
  Speaker 4: And Gina, I assume you're looking more beautiful this morning
• 2:34
  Speaker 4: after yesterday's micro needling.
• 2:36
  Speaker 1: I'm radiant, aren't I, although I've been trying to counteract
• 2:41
  Speaker 1: that with some macro needling. We we have a phone call.
• 2:45
  Speaker 1: I'm one.
• 2:46
  Speaker 3: Let's let's go to Zane.
• 2:48
  Speaker 1: Good morning, Zaye. How are you today?
• 2:51
  Speaker 5: I'm fine, I'm just fine. How are you all?
• 2:53
  Speaker 1: That's good, We're fine, Zane. Uh So, what is your
• 2:57
  Speaker 1: question for doctor.
• 2:58
  Speaker 5: Cobble, Hey, doctor Couple, I was just wondering how serious
• 3:03
  Speaker 5: a two millimeter brain aneurysm could be.
• 3:08
  Speaker 4: Well, aneurysms in general are pretty serious. Two millimeters is
• 3:12
  Speaker 4: remarkably small, but I think that sometimes when they're that small,
• 3:18
  Speaker 4: they just may monitor them over time. But I think
• 3:24
  Speaker 4: that's certainly a conversation the neurosurgeon or neurologists would be
• 3:28
  Speaker 4: having with.
• 3:28
  Speaker 1: You, so probably not horrible, but keep keep keep your
• 3:33
  Speaker 1: keep abreast of it.
• 3:34
  Speaker 5: Zane, Okay, my wife, they've found a brain aneurysm, and
• 3:39
  Speaker 5: my wife great, well.
• 3:41
  Speaker 1: Not great, I meant, I meant no, I'm in light
• 3:45
  Speaker 1: of everything else we know about Zane's. That's really great. Yeah,
• 3:50
  Speaker 1: all right, Jane, we'll just just they'll they'll keep an
• 3:53
  Speaker 1: eye on it. She'll be okay, all right.
• 3:55
  Speaker 5: All right, thank you doctor, doctor couple.
• 3:57
  Speaker 6: Thank you, thank you.
• 3:59
  Speaker 1: Eight seven seven six is the number. There's a text
• 4:03
  Speaker 1: question here which I would like you to talk about,
• 4:07
  Speaker 1: doctor Cobble, because I had this happen to me. Somebody says,
• 4:11
  Speaker 1: I have a hydro seal on both testicles. What is
• 4:15
  Speaker 1: the procedure for getting rid of them? And are they
• 4:18
  Speaker 1: likely to return?
• 4:19
  Speaker 2: So?
• 4:19
  Speaker 1: Can you explain what a hydro seal is and then
• 4:22
  Speaker 1: go on with that question.
• 4:25
  Speaker 4: Yeah, hydro seal is just a water fluid collection around
• 4:29
  Speaker 4: those that particular area, And if they're small, then we
• 4:35
  Speaker 4: don't do anything about them. If they're large, it's an
• 4:38
  Speaker 4: easy surgery for a urologist to fix. I've seen hydro
• 4:43
  Speaker 4: seals as big as a one liter bottle. It's more
• 4:46
  Speaker 4: re markedly. Yeah, And in my residency that patient would
• 4:51
  Speaker 4: come in from Wyoming once a year to have it drained,
• 4:54
  Speaker 4: which is not the right way to do it. So
• 4:57
  Speaker 4: I think again, big hydro seals can have some medical consequences,
• 5:02
  Speaker 4: and it's reasonable for a urologist to determine how to take.
• 5:07
  Speaker 5: Care of it.
• 5:08
  Speaker 1: Now. I had one, and it was the urologist said, uh,
• 5:14
  Speaker 1: it's probably preventing you from being this fertile. Fertile the
• 5:20
  Speaker 1: word I want to use is probably preventing you from thing,
• 5:24
  Speaker 1: isn't it. Well, my wife and I were My wife
• 5:27
  Speaker 1: and I were trying to have a child at the time,
• 5:30
  Speaker 1: and that wasn't it didn't seem to be working out.
• 5:32
  Speaker 1: And I said, well, maybe that's the reason. So I
• 5:35
  Speaker 1: had the surgery. It was, it was, It was pretty simple,
• 5:40
  Speaker 1: but but I remember being the recovery being kind of painful.
• 5:43
  Speaker 1: But other than that, it was well.
• 5:45
  Speaker 4: And I typically worried more about verica seles, which are
• 5:49
  Speaker 4: little veins.
• 5:50
  Speaker 1: That's what I had. That's what I had.
• 5:54
  Speaker 3: Of course you had the more concerning thing.
• 5:56
  Speaker 1: Of course, it was in.
• 5:57
  Speaker 4: Those little veins, and and that heats up, heats up
• 6:01
  Speaker 4: the boys and sometimes they're not as effective.
• 6:04
  Speaker 1: Yeah, that's what I I'm sorry that that's exactly what
• 6:06
  Speaker 1: I had aberc.
• 6:08
  Speaker 3: Whatever whatever thing is.
• 6:10
  Speaker 1: I'm sorry, Yeah, yeah, say it again, would you.
• 6:13
  Speaker 4: Well, the reason why you turn your head and cough
• 6:15
  Speaker 4: is so you're not coughing on the.
• 6:17
  Speaker 7: Clinician, right right, yeah, but you're.
• 6:20
  Speaker 4: You're coughing to produce pressure in the abdominal cavity to
• 6:23
  Speaker 4: see if there's a hernia. You can feel the hernia.
• 6:27
  Speaker 4: That that that's you could you could bear down like
• 6:30
  Speaker 4: you're having a bowet movement to increase pressure as well.
• 6:32
  Speaker 4: That turning your head and cough is kind of a
• 6:34
  Speaker 4: mash thing, not not from the movie, but kind of a.
• 6:40
  Speaker 1: Yeah, all right, we've got a phone call from David.
• 6:43
  Speaker 1: Doctor Michael Cobber David, Hi.
• 6:45
  Speaker 7: David, Hello, everybody.
• 6:48
  Speaker 1: Well, which question?
• 6:50
  Speaker 7: So I fairly regularly once a year usually get a
• 6:54
  Speaker 7: good case of pretessis and I had one earlier a
• 6:57
  Speaker 7: month or so ago, and uh, everything is cleared up,
• 7:01
  Speaker 7: except for it seems like I've got like this all
• 7:03
  Speaker 7: of phlam that's around my throat and it is just
• 7:07
  Speaker 7: annoying and it's what I affectionately call kennel cough. I
• 7:11
  Speaker 7: just am constantly kind of coughing, hoping. Yeah, exactly, I
• 7:17
  Speaker 7: was hoping to find out. I've tried allergy medication, but
• 7:20
  Speaker 7: I don't think that's helping.
• 7:22
  Speaker 1: So any thoughts on that, doctor cobble.
• 7:26
  Speaker 4: Yeah, I mean you have three or four options. Number one,
• 7:28
  Speaker 4: it's going to go away with time. Number two, allergies
• 7:32
  Speaker 4: might have been terrible last month, and I've been having
• 7:35
  Speaker 4: to take my allergy pills two or three times a day,
• 7:37
  Speaker 4: which they're traditionally one to day, so kicking that up
• 7:41
  Speaker 4: may have some value. And then number three Montelu Cast
• 7:47
  Speaker 4: singular air prescription could have some value. That's a prescription
• 7:51
  Speaker 4: you have to see your clinician.
• 7:52
  Speaker 3: I take the cast every day. Actually it's great.
• 7:56
  Speaker 4: Yeah, it works really well. And then number four is
• 7:59
  Speaker 4: sometimes does pregnizone for two three four weeks, like two milligrams,
• 8:05
  Speaker 4: and then sometimes a little bit of muse sex which
• 8:08
  Speaker 4: is over the counter, can thin out that flam. It's
• 8:11
  Speaker 4: a mucolytic moisturizer can thin out the flam, and then
• 8:15
  Speaker 4: maybe your antihistamines will dry it up. But those are
• 8:18
  Speaker 4: the options you have. And while it's irritating and affects
• 8:21
  Speaker 4: your quality of life, it's not going to affect your
• 8:23
  Speaker 4: quantity of a life, which is good.
• 8:27
  Speaker 7: So one person question. Yeah, So I'm I'm currently taking
• 8:33
  Speaker 7: a Leegra, Cleeriton, and Zertech, one each a day at
• 8:36
  Speaker 7: different times. Should I just stick with one or the
• 8:38
  Speaker 7: other or is there a problem doing all three different kinds.
• 8:43
  Speaker 4: Well, if you're taking three antihistamines a day, you're hitting
• 8:46
  Speaker 4: it pretty hard. So I think they all do this
• 8:50
  Speaker 4: similar thing. It's like Chevy, Dodge and Ford. So sometimes
• 8:55
  Speaker 4: I have people mix them up because they find one
• 8:57
  Speaker 4: has a little more value, or Zerotech makes it tired,
• 9:00
  Speaker 4: so they'll take that at night. They'll take the Clareton
• 9:02
  Speaker 4: or a lager in the morning. But I think if
• 9:05
  Speaker 4: you're taking one of each three times a day, you've
• 9:08
  Speaker 4: done all you can do with an antihistamine, and I
• 9:10
  Speaker 4: think you need to look at those other options that
• 9:11
  Speaker 4: I mentioned.
• 9:13
  Speaker 1: Okay, perfect, all right, thank you.
• 9:15
  Speaker 7: I appreciate it.
• 9:17
  Speaker 1: David's question was answered, and he has some valuable knowledge
• 9:21
  Speaker 1: that he can take away and do something well about
• 9:25
  Speaker 1: his flimball.
• 9:27
  Speaker 3: We got to text.
• 9:28
  Speaker 2: Somebody said, I keep seeing ads on social media for
• 9:31
  Speaker 2: a liver cleanse product.
• 9:32
  Speaker 3: Is there any validity to those?
• 9:35
  Speaker 4: I don't know. I mean, liver cleansing has been popular
• 9:38
  Speaker 4: for thirty plus years, probably one hundred years. So I
• 9:44
  Speaker 4: think eating a healthy Mediterranean diet, healthy food, I think
• 9:49
  Speaker 4: drinking plenty of water. I just think that, you know,
• 9:53
  Speaker 4: you can make your liver happy by doing healthy lifestyle management.
• 9:57
  Speaker 4: I'm not sure if cleansing options or but I don't
• 10:01
  Speaker 4: I don't think they're probably dangerous, so I'm not gonna
• 10:05
  Speaker 4: I'm not trying to discount them.
• 10:08
  Speaker 1: I keep hearing I listen to a podcast that has
• 10:11
  Speaker 1: as a sponsor. I forget the name of it, but
• 10:13
  Speaker 1: it's they say, before you drink, you should always take
• 10:17
  Speaker 1: this because it will it will you won't have a
• 10:21
  Speaker 1: hangover if you take this before you drink. Is that
• 10:24
  Speaker 1: really possible?
• 10:27
  Speaker 7: Well?
• 10:28
  Speaker 4: Probably. I think there are certain things that can block
• 10:31
  Speaker 4: the alcohol effect in the lactic acidosis. But you know,
• 10:36
  Speaker 4: before you drink, maybe you drink water and that will
• 10:40
  Speaker 4: will dilute the alcohol abserption and the acidosis that can
• 10:45
  Speaker 4: happen from it.
• 10:45
  Speaker 3: And it's free.
• 10:47
  Speaker 1: Yeah, where do you Where in the world do you
• 10:50
  Speaker 1: think water is free?
• 10:51
  Speaker 3: Gas comes right out of the death.
• 10:56
  Speaker 1: I'm a forty three year old woman and I have
• 10:58
  Speaker 1: bersiitis in my shoulder. This is not from an injury.
• 11:02
  Speaker 1: What kind of exercises or physical therapy could I be
• 11:06
  Speaker 1: doing well?
• 11:09
  Speaker 4: I think seeing a physical therapist directly is helpful. You
• 11:11
  Speaker 4: can also google or do whatever search you want for
• 11:16
  Speaker 4: shoulder sidis exercises. There are so many of those resources online.
• 11:20
  Speaker 4: But birsidis is just inflammation of the little capsule around
• 11:25
  Speaker 4: the joint, the bursa, And it's usually an overuse injury
• 11:29
  Speaker 4: from whatever you know, on the computer, painting, working in
• 11:32
  Speaker 4: the garden, doing you know it's overused.
• 11:35
  Speaker 1: Slapping your kids, Yeah.
• 11:38
  Speaker 4: Slapping your kids across the side of the head. Yeah, yeah,
• 11:41
  Speaker 4: I know you Bill.
• 11:41
  Speaker 1: Yeah, that's how I got it, spanking them. Uh birdis
• 11:48
  Speaker 1: Let's see, we have another text question. Now. I'm going
• 11:51
  Speaker 1: to ask you this, and I'm I think you'll probably
• 11:53
  Speaker 1: will back off of it and not want to answer it.
• 11:55
  Speaker 1: Uh Hey, doctor Cabble, what is your opinion of chiropractors?
• 11:59
  Speaker 1: Do you think they are beneficial to help manage pain?
• 12:03
  Speaker 5: Yeah?
• 12:04
  Speaker 4: I think chiropractures are great, and I think that you know,
• 12:07
  Speaker 4: find a chiropractor you're comfortable, comfortable with, and you feel
• 12:10
  Speaker 4: like it's adding value to your care but yeah, I
• 12:13
  Speaker 4: think chiropractic care and osteopathic care and holistic naturopathic care
• 12:19
  Speaker 4: all great. You know, what I do is allopathic medicine,
• 12:23
  Speaker 4: so that's a little bit different that. Well, allopathic medicine
• 12:29
  Speaker 4: is the kind of medicine we do today that focuses
• 12:32
  Speaker 4: a little bit on medicine to treat particular diseases. But
• 12:36
  Speaker 4: you know, I'm always I always want people to do
• 12:39
  Speaker 4: the appropriate lifestyle. I want them to eat a healthy diet.
• 12:41
  Speaker 4: I want them to exercise and have stress management and
• 12:45
  Speaker 4: meditation and yoga and pilates and any of those types
• 12:49
  Speaker 4: of things. So you know, I always just hope and
• 12:53
  Speaker 4: want people to do healthy lifestyle. And then if I
• 12:56
  Speaker 4: have to manage their cholesterol or their blood sugar, or
• 12:58
  Speaker 4: their blood pressure or their depression, I'm here to offer
• 13:03
  Speaker 4: allopathic medical care to assist in that.
• 13:07
  Speaker 1: Yeah, medication that will help. I mean, I mean, I
• 13:09
  Speaker 1: know I had started to have high cholesterol and now
• 13:15
  Speaker 1: it's very well managed with medication.
• 13:18
  Speaker 2: I have no But also probably the lifestyle changes doctor
• 13:21
  Speaker 2: Cobble asked you to make help also.
• 13:24
  Speaker 6: Yeah, if I had done those, well, I think the
• 13:29
  Speaker 6: bad thing is cholesterol goes up at the age, so
• 13:31
  Speaker 6: oftentimes cholesterol is not dietary, and blood pressure, while it
• 13:35
  Speaker 6: can be driven by certain behaviors, blood pressure is an
• 13:38
  Speaker 6: age driven issue as well.
• 13:40
  Speaker 4: So I think the big thing is, you know, when
• 13:42
  Speaker 4: I have a fifty year old marathon runner and she
• 13:44
  Speaker 4: has cholesterol three hundred triglyster three hundred, and she has
• 13:47
  Speaker 4: a vegetable based diet, it's not rice and pasta. You know,
• 13:51
  Speaker 4: her question is, how do I change my diet? It's like,
• 13:54
  Speaker 4: now you got to change your parents, and you know,
• 13:56
  Speaker 4: making a genetic parental change is very difficult. So I
• 13:59
  Speaker 4: think that okay. So there was another.
• 14:02
  Speaker 3: Question I asked.
• 14:04
  Speaker 2: Someone says, my toddler is turning four in August and
• 14:07
  Speaker 2: hasn't gotten a second measles shot because he gets it
• 14:10
  Speaker 2: at four. Should I be concerned and try to get
• 14:12
  Speaker 2: it early?
• 14:15
  Speaker 4: Well, I don't think in August, you know, you're almost there.
• 14:19
  Speaker 4: You could go to your pediatrician and see if they're
• 14:22
  Speaker 4: you know, I think the immunization schedule is not written
• 14:26
  Speaker 4: in stone, So I think if you're fearful of it
• 14:29
  Speaker 4: and he's at a daycare or another facility where he
• 14:33
  Speaker 4: could be exposed, I don't think it's unreasonable going early
• 14:36
  Speaker 4: and ask for it. But I don't. I don't think
• 14:40
  Speaker 4: you have to be markedly worried about it. But you know,
• 14:42
  Speaker 4: you don't want people to catch measles because it's highly
• 14:46
  Speaker 4: contagious and in those rare cases, it can be fatal.
• 14:50
  Speaker 1: I as a you know, I had it as a child,
• 14:52
  Speaker 1: and it was that's a long time ago, and I
• 14:56
  Speaker 1: still remember how unpleasant it was, how just awful.
• 14:59
  Speaker 4: Really, Bill, this explains a lot in medical history. Now
• 15:05
  Speaker 4: it makes more sense to me.
• 15:07
  Speaker 7: But I agree with you.
• 15:08
  Speaker 4: I had the flu when I was probably third grade,
• 15:12
  Speaker 4: and I was home in bed for a week, and
• 15:14
  Speaker 4: the doctor made a house call. And typically when you're
• 15:17
  Speaker 4: sick and you get a missed school, your home having fun.
• 15:21
  Speaker 4: You know, when we had TV, there was black and
• 15:23
  Speaker 4: white and you had two channels, so you weren't watching TV.
• 15:26
  Speaker 4: But I was so sick. I can still remember that.
• 15:30
  Speaker 4: And I don't remember much else from from my childhood,
• 15:33
  Speaker 4: Like you remember spanking your kids in this laping across
• 15:36
  Speaker 4: the side of the head. I don't remember much from
• 15:38
  Speaker 4: my childhood, but I remember having the flu and it
• 15:42
  Speaker 4: was terrible.
• 15:43
  Speaker 1: Yeah, all right.
• 15:44
  Speaker 3: We got one last question from Cody Hi Cody.
• 15:48
  Speaker 1: Where are you calling us from Caemis? Okay, what's up?
• 15:52
  Speaker 1: What are you doing? What do you need to know?
• 15:55
  Speaker 5: I was wondering what's the difference between a MARINE and
• 15:57
  Speaker 5: CT when it comes to broken bones.
• 16:01
  Speaker 4: Well, MRI is a magnetic resonance CT's computed tomography. CT's
• 16:06
  Speaker 4: a little bit better for hard structure bone structures. MRI
• 16:11
  Speaker 4: is better for soft tissue. So MRI we typically like
• 16:15
  Speaker 4: to look at like discs and acls and shoulders, and
• 16:20
  Speaker 4: so it's a little better at looking at soft tissue
• 16:23
  Speaker 4: organ type things, whereas CT scans a little bit better
• 16:27
  Speaker 4: for bones.
• 16:27
  Speaker 1: Cody, So you have a fractured ankle, is that right?
• 16:31
  Speaker 5: That's right, And they've already done an MRI, and now
• 16:33
  Speaker 5: they want to do a CT a break on the MRI,
• 16:37
  Speaker 5: but now they want to do a CT as well.
• 16:40
  Speaker 4: Yeah, they probably just wanted to better identify the fracture
• 16:43
  Speaker 4: and make sure that it's an acute fracture not an
• 16:45
  Speaker 4: old one. And so the CT scans just a little
• 16:48
  Speaker 4: bit better at looking at the bone structure, and you know,
• 16:52
  Speaker 4: it may help direct how they're going to treat it.
• 16:56
  Speaker 1: There you go, Cody, there's knowledge for you. And that
• 16:59
  Speaker 1: was for free. Thanks.
• 17:03
  Speaker 3: Thanks, thank you. Feel better, Cody?
• 17:05
  Speaker 4: Thank you?
• 17:07
  Speaker 1: Is that is it?
• 17:08
  Speaker 3: We are out of time, all.
• 17:09
  Speaker 1: Right, doctor Cable. Uh, we'll see you in a couple
• 17:13
  Speaker 1: of weeks.
