Doctor Reacts To Hilarious Medical TikToks

We need to balance

terrible Tik Toks with perhaps ones that could have some good advice or humor

so we can laugh and be happy.

Huge thanks to Zip Recruiter for sponsoring this video.

Let's get Be well.

Please stop stressing about getting enough protein with every meal and just get enough

for the week on Monday.

>> Oh man, people are really going ham on these nutrition bros.

You know, like we say like 30 to 40-ish

grams of protein cuz that's all your body can absorb,

but like that's not exactly true.

30-40 is giving the max

signal for protein synthesis

to stimulate protein synthesis.

Once you have more than that, you're not really getting more bang for your

buck, but you can absorb

more as time goes on. So, pace yourself. Spread it out.

>> See, that could be good, but it could also be problematic

and this is where sometimes young residents

and med students get thrown.

They see a heart rate of 45 and they automatically assume it's terrible.

Some people who are in great shape, their resting heart rate is so low

cuz they're just in phenomenal cardiovascular shape.

But, there are patients

who have heart blocks

that have a slow heart rate.

So, you actually need to look at the rhythm strip.

And another reason where someone

may have a really slow heart rate is because they're not taking their medications properly.

Some medications, thinking beta blockers,

can slow your heart rate and I've had patients who take them because they

say, "Oh, my blood pressure felt high."

And you're not taking

blood pressure medication as needed and they take several

doses of their beta blocker and end up having this beta blockade

where their pulse is quite low.

People always ask me how we find water while we're on expeditions

in the Amazon rainforest.

And it's actually simpler than you

>> Do they bring coffee mugs

in their expeditions to the Amazon?

Cuz the river's going by.

The trick is you move the cup.

You move the cup with the river. DON'T DRINK IT. NO!

BRO, THEY HAVE THE straws now.

Where is my um

Where is my lark?

I have to show this gentleman that he can bring the lark with him.

Oh my god, I'm just thinking

of the Giardia that's in that water and how much diarrhea

is about to come out.

Wait, that that it's not funny.

He claims that deep in the Amazon

the water's filtered by the roots of the trees

and is therefore not >> It's not.

It's The answer is it's not.

I don't believe you, sir.

What I have studied says otherwise.

Use the lark, man. Not sponsored.

What are we even watching here? >> intake form.

Okay, we are slamming it.

A LOT OF PATIENTS coming in.

I love the beard, the the hoodie.

You're not IN THE PICTURE.

PUT HIM ALIVE, EVERYBODY.

JAMES WHITMORE, CHEST PAIN, DIAPHOR- DIAPHORESIS.

You can't even pronounce >> Diaphoresis, CHAD.

YOU DON'T NEED a medical degree to read the board. >> Trauma two open.

I need to know RIGHT NOW. THAT'S MY BEDROOM. ANSWER THE QUESTION. YES OR NO? TWO WEEKS NOW.

I'M LOOKING FOR SOMETHING TO INTUBATE WITH.

What does that even mean?

I don't know, but we got to do it to

>> like Shaun from The Good Doctor. Bingo.

The bathroom or the people show up?

Cuz every time you go in there you have a PTSD episode.

>> No, I'm I'll be fine, dude.

I GOT TO SAVE HIM! Oh my god.

I wonder what Noah Wyle's reaction to this would be.

The other day we tried to pitch

writing a medical drama

with me and Dr. Beach Chad.

And he commented that we dare not step on his toes or else he

will become an actual doctor. Challenge accepted, sir.

How's Baby Jane Doe doing?

We got a donor with a doohickey stuck in his dumper in trauma two. Baby Jane Doe. Baby Jane Doe.

Why is it there's pleasure? Baby Jane Doe.

Just asking how someone's doing

goes a long way.

How's Baby Jane Doe?

How's Baby Jane Doe?

How's Baby Jane Doe?

If I ever get

a ferret as a pet, I'm going to name it Baby Jane Doe.

If this video I won't do it again.

If by season 3 premiere this video gets

more than 599,000 likes

and over 10,000 comments,

I will wear something similar to that to the pit.

Hold him to it, folks. Oh, yo, no. No. No.

Is a grip about to

Oh, what if the hook slipped out? The anchors.

Oh, Lisa next anchor caught a man, that's so scary.

That's why I stick to indoor rock climbing bouldering.

And I haven't done it in a while.

I will say when you do boulder

and you climb, even when you do the beginner climbs, the feeling

in your forearms and on the skin

of your hands is like nothing

I've ever felt before. It's truly amazing.

For good reasons and bad.

Good that it gives you a nice little pump, but bad reasons cuz you

have to develop all these calluses

and everything's burning and it's chalky

and dry and then you put moisturizer

on it creates this like weird paste.

I don't know, we got we got to find a better solution for it.

Slow and steady to build up the calluses

until you're Not bad.

Oh, never go on a run to see how injured you are.

That is not how you test it.

If you're running like that, you're injured.

If you're going to do it, doing it in a controlled environment is way

better, like a treadmill.

Because here, if something pops out, if a car comes,

if you need to speed up cuz someone's chasing

you, you won't be able to adapt.

Why train till failure

when you can just go straight to failure?

In theory, that sounds like it could be plausible,

but it's not because it's the time under tension

and you could only fail

for so long if it's your first rep.

There are certain exercises

like cheat curls and stuff that could be plausible

in this way, but you can't just fail right away.

What did I just witness? That was crazy.

Sometimes I just stand

in like a seated

squat position, not because I want to feel what it's like to be a

little shorter, but more so to get a little isometric

training of the quads

and the glutes, etc.

Hey, have you GUYS SEEN MY BUTT SCRATCHING FORK?

I think I left IT NEXT TO MY PENIS WHAT?

A BUTT scratching fork is the worst device ever because it's not only sharp,

it has food residue

on it, and that is prime

placement for bacteria buildup,

and you don't want bacteria near your butt.

They both start with B,

but please don't do it. >> What the hell? What the hell?

What in the kitten was that?

This is why you don't drowsy drive.

Can be even more dangerous than drinking and driving,

and residents are horrible at this.

That's why a lot of hospitals have programs that if residents feel sleepy,

they can ask and they can get their uh transportation covered.

This is liver, gallbladder, spleen, and large What?

This kind of covering four different organ functions.

Is he slapping him with a fly stick,

a fly swatter with

>> some glue, and he's talking about organs that are in the abdomen?

Nothing too We're almost there.

HE'S BRUISED THE BEJESUS OUT OF HIM. GOOD NOW. WE'RE GOOD.

HE COULD HAVE just done a really

bad blood draw and formed the same bruise

without slapping him with a fly swatter. He's good. PERFECT. PERFECT FOR WHAT?

HOW IS THAT IMPACTING HIS GALLBLADDER?

THE GALLBLADDER IS RIGHT HERE, CHAMP. MURPHY. MURPHY HIM.

DON'T MAKE FUN of patients.

Don't make fun of diseases.

Don't make fun of body parts,

body parts that have diseases.

Don't say or post anything

that could be remotely

interpreted as making fun of a patient.

>> I get what you're saying, Dr. Glaucomflecken.

Comedy's tough cuz you want to find that line,

but I think as

a doctor first who's trying to do comedy,

you have to err on the side of being less funny

because there is a higher chance of you

offending a potential patient that might end up in your care. So, I agree.

Why do you think I don't have any patient characters

in any of my

Because I don't want to say anything

that's going to undermine

the public's trust in what I do as a physician.

>> And some patients, because of insurance

or the way that

system works or it's an emergency,

might end up in your care.

And if you said something

rude or mean about them and they have no choice but to see you,

that's that's not ideal.

Make fun of literally anything else.

All right, this is why God made orthopedic

surgeons, and the entire field of urology,

and whatever it is rheumatologists do.

Make fun of that.

Rheumatologists are so important these days.

Autoimmune expertise, there's so many

different labs to order and so many seronegative

presentations of things that I need their help a lot these days.

Hi, I'm Maggie and this is my foot before Swan Oh, okay.

Interesting because I'm already seeing some signs

of potential skin breakdown

and irritation that if warm,

tender, and spreading could be a sign of cellulitis.

>> This is my foot after show.

Oh my god, don't

This is going to end up on WikiFeet. I already know. Oh, mama. That's a blister. Oh. My gosh, stop. What?

That's got to be a blister meets pedal edema.

Elevation, compression stocking, and rest. Oh, no.

>> The usual debate is whether to eat it from the middle

or from either side.

But this is a new one.

If you'd like to do that, that's your prerogative.

I wouldn't recommend it for safety reasons, health reasons. That That one. That one. Pull that one. No. No. No. No. No. No.

The one next to that.

Stop your yell Stop yelling.

Just say yes or no. Yes or no.

Honestly, when I do telemedicine

appointments and patients are on the phone

and I try to ask to see like the back of their throat if

they have a throat symptom

or an abdominal pain or

look into their nasal mucosa.

It is tough because the flashlight

is on the other side.

Sometimes it doesn't work at the same time as the camera during the virtual appointment. It's really tough.

Like in the office,

we have all the equipment

perfectly suited to take care of the patient.

Their stuff at home

is not always up to the task.

And sometimes our Wi-Fi is not great

and therefore it's super blurry

and you're just It's not ideal.

Look at her leg.

Oh, it's a prosthetic. It's a prosthesis.

Oh, that would freak the baby out.

I can't laugh at this because you want

the child to develop a natural curiosity

and safety in the scenario and here you're just traumatizing the poor kid.

That was the slickest

way I've ever seen any human

move their body outside

of the The flotation

skills are >> God, the joints are so >> mobile.

I don't have that mobility.

Is that a Nerf dart?

What did I witness?

>> She's trying to remove her contact lens. With what item?

What object was that?

It was like a little suction tool. Be smart. Be safe.

Don't try this at home.

There was someone who was not an MD who I entrusted

with my health and at one point I was taking more than 20 supplements

a day in the pursuit of longevity.

>> Oh, this is very common

because here's what the issue is.

Those in the natural

medicine space, whatever that means, and I say it like this because

doctors recommend natural remedies all the time.

I have videos called cure natural

remedies that actually work.

When natural remedies become actual science, they're just called science.

When they're called natural

remedies, that means they're not proven

and therefore are potentially

distracting you from things that are proven.

Many of those people are just trying to sell you a product

that has no need to prove that it works, no one overseeing

that it works or its safety.

So, it's like the worst

version of whatever qualms you have about the pharmaceutical industry.

It's like you take the pharmaceutical

industry, which already has a ton of problems,

and then you add

a ton more problems to it because there's no oversight.

I went to my doctor,

my actual doctor, and I said, "Oh, my gut's all messed up, things are

all messed up, my skin's all messed up."

And then she said to me, "What are you doing?"

And then I told her.

She said, "Bring in everything that you're taking."

I did blood work

and I had terrible

liver >> That happens from certain supplements.

We've seen that as a reoccurring

pattern where the liver enzymes

are at a very high level

and after discontinuing the supplements,

it drops right down and that is very reassuring,

especially cuz these supplements are all risk, no

The healthiest girl that I thought in the world >> Yeah.

bought untested, unregulated >> And that's all of them, by the way, not like one brand.

What are we looking at here? Police officer down?

He's going to find the drugs.

Wait, is he trying to do chest No, no.

I'm going to give the doggie a pass

because I was about to say those weren't 2 in deep, those are terrible

chest compressions, but maybe the doggie

is just trying to first

do a little sternal

>> to see if the police officer is awake because if there is a reaction,

you shouldn't do chest compressions, so this is valuable

and the dog is listening for breathing.

So, let's see what happens.

Whoever trained this dog should go to jail.

You think you're going to get Ross

with those terrible paw compressions?

Those paws better step up their game.

You want to be a canine

of the year saving

a human life circulating

remaining oxygen within the blood? Unbelievable.

Where is this happening?

I'm I'm filing a report. You know what? I'm being harsh.

I'm being harsh, and in fact,

I've been proven wrong.

It knew this dude was not dead.

It could hear his heart

and his breathing, so it said,

"Why would I go 2 in deep and break ribs

if he already has a pulse?"

Oh, this is definitely a germ conference.

They're all afraid of the

As they should be.

They're protecting their skin from aging and from burning.

There's this weird alternative

thing that has happened where people are like, "You need to expose yourself to

your sun to the sun more, and the sun can't harm you."

No, no, no, no, no.

The sun can harm you.

People get sunburns all the time, and those who have sunburns have more cancer. It's just proven.

Like, I'm not saying be afraid of the sun.

Don't go out for 5 minutes without Like, within reason.

Wear your SPF coverage.

Today, I'm meal prepping for the next 30

>> Oh my god, this reminds

me of the Basement Yard podcast when they asked me if a hot dog

takes off 10 seconds or 10 minutes of your life.

No, a hot dog does not shorten your life by 10 minutes.

Well, what if you get like good

deli hot This helps keep my diet consistent,

and the good thing about hot dogs, they're stacked with amazing

nutrients, and their preservatives

make them last a long time.

>> I would say that this is a very unhealthy diet.

This is considered a processed meat.

Over consumption of processed

meats increases risk of

certain cancers like colon cancer.

So, yeah, I wouldn't recommend this as a staple of your diet.

>> You think it's that easy, do you?

Well, I mean kind of.

Well, I just happen to have a monologue

that Scott wrote for next week's episode.

Perhaps you'd like to give it a go.

So, we get a sneak peek of next week's episode?

>> That's a weird thing to have.

Um >> I'll time you.

Do you need to time her?

It's going to be hard enough to do the pronunciation of things. >> Okay, sure.

And obviously this is real.

I promise I've actually never seen this cuz this is a crazy bit that

someone decided to do. Okay, go. Go.

He's probably anticoagulated for Afib.

>> That's a that's a an important thing because likely this patient is bleeding out

and if they're anticoagulated

to decrease the likelihood of forming a clot

in the atria which then can get shot up to the brain,

they put him on a blood thinner which makes him more likely to bleed.

>> Stand by with a four-factor PCC if there's a brain bleed.

Intubated for an agonal respiration.

CGC5 pri- I think this person was involved in a major trauma and they're

worried about someone who's on anticoagulants bleeding.

Gram of Nexavar, Flexeril,

and a 50 grams of Altace or Strattera. Time.

Three lactic ACID IN THREE HOURS.

>> WELL, you're looking to see if the patient is oxygenating well.

Props to Kristen, though. Good job, Kristen.

I'm proud of you.

I bet your kids are proud of you, too.

I know they like medical shows.

I see you watching.

The schools that I went to and the environment that I was in is

sort of sports heavy, rugby oriented.

But then I broke my back when I was 16.

>> Breaking your back is no joke.

You have these vertebrae

that are stacked on top of one another.

And there's nerves that come out in between these vertebrae

that when there's inflammation

because of the fracture,

that starts putting pressure on those nerves.

I need to lift heavier weights.

I need to take creatine.

I need to increase my protein.

I need to walk more.

I need to increase my fiber.

I need to wear more sunscreen.

I need to take magnesium.

I need to take collagen.

I need a sauna.

I need to sleep earlier.

I need to stop drinking coffee.

I need to regulate my cortisol.

Not all bad pieces of advice, surprisingly

from a Tik Tok.

However, when you put

the amount of pressure

and specificity to each one of those goals,

all together that can feel quite overwhelming.

And that ends up spiking cortisol

and making sleep worse, anxiety worse.

We need to take it one step at a time.

We need to take on the biggest challenges

first, at the same time taking on smaller

challenges to get a little bit of that

boost from our neurotransmitters

from completing that challenge

and then take on the bigger challenges as time goes on.

Usually what happens is you start experiencing

the stacking phenomenon that having success in one area

leads to success in another area.

But it doesn't mean you have to do all those things

all the time all at the same time.

You may now start the encounter.

Hi, my name is Paul.

I'm a first-year medical student.

I'm going to do a history and physical today before I report the findings

back to my preceptor.

Can I verify your name and date of birth before we begin?

I'm going to go ahead and wash my hands.

That was really good and very thorough,

but perhaps too rushed.

Perhaps because it was his first time doing it.

Maybe wash your hands before entering the room, introduce yourself to the patient, introduce

who you are, what you're seeking to do, and then after

present all that information to the attending.

Honestly, attending should walk in and ask if the patient is comfortable

with that first because maybe a patient doesn't want to tell the story numerous times.

Maybe they're not comfortable

with a med student in the room.

That is within their rights.

Hello, my name is Leo.

What's your Please talk to the phone.

Please talk to phone.

Which is actually not the right advice

because she's doing the right thing by talking to the patient

and having the interpreter interpret.

I have a knife in my My back?

Like is he saying he has back pain?

I have knife in back.

I got a level one stab wound.

I need a gurney.

What's a level one stab wound?

You're going to be okay, sir. Go with us.

He's a thank you for your help.

Oh my god, we need to get two IVs.

We need to crack open the chest.

We need an x-ray

and we need the trauma team stat.

I'm not an ER doctor, but that is what will happen.
