Badasses in Science: Episode 1

[Florence00pi]

I like it, you should make a TV show out of that ^^

[FlightIsLife]

".. along with the.. Beaker to his Bunson..." LMFAO

Heroes of science. I approve of this concept.

[anthonzi]

Oh god not CAAAAKE

[SlckJwdBtnk]

Little known fact about Dr. Marshall. He had to have a special seat installed in his muscle car to accommodate his basketball sized testicles.

Plus, when he presented his findings to the W.H.O. he gave them the middle finger, and lit in on fire. Called everyone a pussy, and went home to bang his wife for 2 days straight.

[ArmchairAccomplice]

total badass.

That dramatization was pretty badass too. I can't wait to see more badasses of science!

[xtcx2e]

Damn, that sucker really is badass.

I have crohns and i know what ulcers feel like. they hurt like a bitch.

[Paxmax]

Wow, he was owning himself hard to prove a point.

[a300pilotster]

much more entertaining and satisfying than the story of, lets say,... noah. Dr. Badass saved lives instead of flooding the planet...

[canerdc]

[yellowlabrador]

one of the greatest discoveries in medicine, you rarely meet people ith stomach ulcers now.

[infinitusverum]

Excellent video.

You don't usually get to hear about these sort's of things.

Keep this series going!

[jeremyhartwood]

This was great! Hope to see a lot more of this series.

[Jegermeister0]

MUSE!

Epic band, great songs.

and a great video :)

[nylonhead116]

absolutely BADASS

[fractal420]

Ha I loved it! It also highlights some of the pitfalls of science when an older paper is taken too rigidly.

[Immevu]

LOL!!!! i KNEW IT!!!

[ContinuumXT]

Love the 'cake is a lie' and text comments.

Very entertaining!

Thanks

[Keylimedelight]

Great idea for a vid, More like this pls.

[saxmanchiro]

When I found out about this H. pylori causation of peptic ucleration, I was told that many farmers were aware of their pigs getting the same ulcerations and vets were getting great results with tetracycline and bismuth treatment for a 1-2 wk regimen. They were aware of this nasty 'bug' in the 60s !! No excuse for the medics to keep throwing Pepsid AC and Tagumet at their patients.(drug companies!!) So sad to see such stubbornness continue even into the late 90s with some MDs.

[GrimJim8000]

ive only had eccess acid before, and that was pretty painful at times.... so i can see how painful an ulcer would be.. man...

but excellent video drix keep em coming, i enjoy anything educational.

[cozmikzen]

yea, they hurt

[musicgeniusno1]

Excellent video thanks for posting! Just goes to show the tenacity of scientists (and bravery) A family member of mine has probs with stomach acid & has been having vitamin B12 shots. He has history of ulcers. Q: is lack of B12 a big factor in ulcer formation?

[Shalek]

Loved it absolutely loved it! This made my day, so entertaining and educational. You have to make more!!

[rgr075]

Say "Helicobacter pylori" 5 times fast.

:)

Btw, great job!

[teznade]

Top Video mate, and very well put together. 5*

[neoyorke]

Great vid!! Keep up the great work!!!

[bobster451]

I REALLY liked this video!

The story was fun too with all your graphics and bubble messages.

Please continue to produce these excellent documentaries.

I know that i really appreciate you helping me to learn new things!

[DrixDZanth]

I'm glad! This series seems to have been a hit!

[lennyhipp]

Loved your re-enactment.

Wonder how long before Barry sees this... I'm sure he's no more than 6 degrees from his own YouTube account!

[DrixDZanth]

I would love to hear his reaction. I would hope it makes him laugh.

[antaresrichard]

Egads! That badass has just trashed the etiology championed by Dr. Karol Noymann (John Carradine): "Invisible Invaders"!! How dare he! The "Twelve Angry Men" and the "Animal People" will hear of this!

[spacemonkeyjim]

The really horrid thing was because Doctors believed that no bacteria could survive in the stomach they often did not sterilise the instruments they used to examine the inside of stomachs between patients, thus spreading the bacteria around. Thanks to Dr. Barry Marshall that's stopped now.

[DrixDZanth]

Right... all because this researcher didn't think to perform a silver stain for campylobacteria.

[Th1sWasATriumph]

. . . I can't believe I commented before someone mentioned cake.

[Th1sWasATriumph]

I lol'd around 5.30 with all the annotations. Brilliant.

[AndromedasWake]

5 stars for outstanding acting.

[DrixDZanth]

Thanks Andromeda, I'm glad you enjoyed it.

[Bobbiethejean]

This was a great video; very informative. Thank you.

[DrixDZanth]

Glad that you enjoyed it :)

[tommasfoolery]

i gagged at the ulcer video.

[newalbion]

I will always be grateful to these two scientists. For years I was taking (non-curing) anodynes and palliatives to alleviate stomach pain caused by ulcers. It was only after their discovery of the true cause (heliobacter pylori) that I received effective medication. Their brain was my boon.

[DrixDZanth]

Thank you for your story!!

[jussts]

LOL! That is some mad scientist shit... testing on yourself like that.

[Tolrias]

LoL :))

[DarthTormentis]

And the Oscar goes to....

[DrixDZanth]

Haha... yeah...

[angryislander56]

Informative AND entertaining!

[mattblackcat]

You forgot to add dry ice to the mad scientist potion! ;-)

[DrixDZanth]

Haha, that's true.... there's next time. Maybe I could one-up it and get my hands on a vat of liquid Nitrogen.

[sy1234]

Bacteria? This is a serious win for curry!

[Riftlol]

lol awesome

[sy1234]

Note to self: Eat breakfast THEN watch videos.

[Pinokeyo90]

yea, seriously shit i'm gonna be so late

[ren12386]

Loved the acting. I'm looking forward to the next vid.

[jbujko]

Very cool vid, keep it up mate :)

[Bluefinger1987]

Awesome stuff. Though not quite enough to put me off my morning coffee (yeah, good luck with trying to separate me from my coffee :P), though some of the descriptions nearly made me spray the precious liquid onto my screen.

We need more Badasses of Science!

[DrixDZanth]

I hope to bring more of this sort! Glad you enjoyed it even though you chose an inopportune time to watch it (while drinking). I like the lack of disclaimer... i think this video does better catching ppl off guard.

[Bluefinger1987]

Inopportune time? Hardly, I say. I think the title "Badasses of Science" is a disclaimer on its own, because you know you'll be dealing with something incredibly awesome. Also, what i meant with 'spraying' was the fact that some of your descriptions were hilarious. :P Grossing me out is a near impossibility, considering how desensitised I've become (DAMN YOU INTERNET! RUINING MY INNOCENCE!)

[doloafing]

I'm fairly certain Power Thirst is this guy's bodily fluids in a can.

[ozmoroid]

Thank you for this video. I eagerly await Episode 2.

[YellingSilently]

I think I have seen this in a Sylvester and Tweety episode, or 3 dozen. bad ass all the same.

[thecosmicpuzzle]

I loved this video! hope to see more like it 5*

[rhysc375]

WHOOOOOO, Aussi Aussi Aussi!

[DrixDZanth]

I know! I love aussies... i think they should get the spotlight more.

[rhysc375]

hey im not complaining :P

im happy with our little corner of the world

[Mackaframmalamma]

I had no idea. Very cool. Thanks for making this video. :)

[DrixDZanth]

Thanks for watching :)

[Rorty00]

Medical badass-ness!

[Rorty00]

Duude!

[rozeboosje]

12 angry men :) Great vid

[CognosSquare]

You can be the beaker to my bunsen anyday :)

I remember reading/hearing about ulcers a lot when I was younger, like in the 80ies. Now I dont hear it being mentioned more than a few times per year.

Is ulcers "eradicated", do we eat better? Is eating more fat bad or good?

[DrixDZanth]

Is ulcers "eradicated", do we eat better? Is eating more fat bad or good?

No, ulcers aren't eradicated. However many people are treating their ulcers with antibiotics with great sucess. It does matter what kinds of foods you eat, as well. I'm not certain that eating fat contributes to ulcer growth/establishment. But eating a high-fat diet is not healthy-- high colesterol, heart disease, and obesity-related illnesses follow from a high-fat diet.

[hEaDoNtHeBlOcK]

Excellent!

Although I'm not sure I should of watched this during breakfast........

5*

[DrixDZanth]

Haha, sorry :(

[BoogieNite77]

hahahaha YAAAAAAY!!!!

[kornable]

yay us aussies are badass!

[DrixDZanth]

Indeed you are.

[friendlydiplomat]

Very informative, drix! That guy actually drank the bacteria?! He IS a badass!!

[tohobbes]

I look forward to more of these "badasses of science" videos.

Seeing this video reminded me of this story: I heard one of the early researchers, Lawrence Patrick, at Wayne State University in Detroit, in the 60's and 70's volunteered to be a test subject for several auto crash tests before test dummies were invented. Some of the videos of him getting smashed in the chest, or sprayed with high-velocity shattered glass are pretty unreal, if you can find those videos. Look him up on Wikipedia.

[DrixDZanth]

I will!

[JBSauce]

I was aware of perceptions that stress and acid were the cause of ulcers, and that very few knew that bacteria were the cause. Now I know why that is...and have a healthy respect for this badass of science!

[DrixDZanth]

Acid and stress do contribute, but they are exacerbating factors, not causal factors.

[JBSauce]

Thanks for the clarification.

[GotSoulDoubt]

Just as entertaining as it is educational. I learned more from this video than I did in my biology class sophomore year :/

[DrixDZanth]

Haha, thanks!

[caegr]

cool video

[DrixDZanth]

Thanks!
