thanks for having me! important note idk if it was editing or I misspoke in blood rushing excitement--probably the latter bc I mean, it's wired magazine--the diastolic / lower number is still an arterial pressure read veins are passive / not part of BP but still all a closed circuit and this is why i'm not a cardiologist.. at the dismay of uncles and aunties everywhere i'm sure 😮💨

The expert series is so well done, Wired always finds fantastic people, and in doing so they are really helping public education. Having clearly intelligent and charismatic experts answer complex questions in the simplest manner possible is fantastic for the millions of laymen like me that watch these. These folks are the Bill Nye's of our era. Plus the cheerful, helpful engagement likely helps shore up trust in educated professionals (especially in medicine) and that's proving to be very socially important nowadays.

Thank you for talking about standard ranges for blood tests and different geographical areas w/blood types. I was a grown grown adult before a hematologist was able to help me understand my ridiculous life long anemia & alpha thalassemia. Now I have a treatment that actually works rather than just taking iron pills that never did anything and just emotionally feel less "defective" knowing that some of what's different about my body is the result of it trying to protect itself.

I'm a medical technologist in charge of my hospital's haematology department, and I love his explanations to allow people to understand complex subjects. Suppose I know I'm talking to someone with little to no medical background or is in a different field of practice. In that case, I also try to simplify what I'm talking about without being condescending--they may not understand my job, but I probably don't know theirs either.

Loving Dr. Juneja! There's TONS of fascinating micro-systems in the body and it all gets very complicated very fast, and he conveyed his knowledge with enough depth to show he really DOES know what he's talking about as well as keeping the lingo shorter to help a wider audience understand. Always love seeing passionate scientists/doctors/researchers and hearing them talk. You should definitely invite Dr. Juneja back for pt 2!!!

It takes a long time to bleed out to the point of being in danger when on your period, trust me. Several years ago, I had a really heavy flow that lasted several weeks (I'm talking about half a box of pads per day type of heavy flow). I went to urgent care, was told to keep an eye on it, but later that week I passed out in the shower, only to wake up to a doctor explaining to me that I was borderline comatose because my H&H got so low. It was so bad that they kept me in the ICU for 6 days and I ended up needing a total of 9 units of blood... almost an entire person's worth. I can honestly say without donated blood, I'd be dead right now. SO PLEASE DONATE BLOOD IF YOU'RE ABLE!
