My favorite part of this episode is where the girl says "boys can't hold me too long cause I can overheat" and House goes "girls can't hold me too long cause I only pay for an hour."
Umm. Wouldn’t the tests be to meticulously search her for injuries that would be easy to miss in a person who can’t feel pain? I don’t think the issue is determining IF she has it, it’s to find out if she’s turned sections of her body into bone chip piles.
Eh, he's definitely the type to hold a grudge and we saw in a previous episode that hospital staff thinking horses not zebras led to his chronic pain so he probably holds them responsibile
Fun fact: House does in fact like to waste hospital resources, either out of his sheer amusement, to conclude his pulled out of thin air diagnosis is correct, and/or to annoy Dr. Cuddy.
And fun fact two, I remember Cuddy saying somewhere in the beginning of Season 1 that she had a special budget post for legal expenses due to House, and that he was clearly insane, even though he was a genious, but that there was limits to what her fund could handle.
@@PBMS123 she might not have felt the physical pain but she was aware of what they were doing, conscious the whole time and being treated like a lab rat. she was being forced to do a ton of different things she didn't want to do. watched them cut her open & pulling out the worm, getting 2nd degree burns without being able to feel it, loss of sensation in her legs which led to her falling off of a balcony, being fully alert while they were drilling into her skull. not feeling physical pain doesn't mean it can't be traumatic.
Teaching hospital, basically the clinic is free, and house's department is like the end of the road for lost causes, aka cases no other doctors could solve, free as well iirc
I wouldn't want to be her. For whatever money. This is a horrible and very dangerous condition and even being a billionaire will only do so much for you if you're in constant danger of everything.
I don't know if I'd want to do that. If you have cipa you are going to need a hospital and some doctors might shy away from people who sue people for billions.
I actually love this episode, because you're absolutely right - House took the case for literally no reason other than that he was interested in someone who has CIPA, and felt jealous of her inability to feel pain. She coincidentally happened to actually be sick, despite showing no outward signs. But what this episode does is blatantly demonstrate that House and his team care more about results than process. It's a case study in "the ends justify the means." They are breaching so, so many ethical codes and legal statutes regarding medical care, but since the patient doesn't physically feel worse, they can get away with it. I mean, the surgery scene alone would have probably resulted in several people losing their medical licenses. Performing surgery without consent, barging into an active operating room, cutting a patient open without putting them under to prevent them from moving around... But because House was right, nobody even brings it up again. The ends justify the means. Doesn't matter how much trauma the patient walks away with, as long as they're able to walk away.
If I remember correctly she was also having psychotic episodes and the surgery was an emergency, so that's why they got away with it that easily. An appendix removal was literally happening next to them, but House said that it's low priority, and stole all the surgery staff.
@@CDexiethank u for the explanation...I haven't seen the show so as an Indian medical student it was hard to digest that md medicine is doing abdominal surgery
I went to school with a girl with this condition. She told us about how she accidentally burnt her hand because she was resting it on the stove and didn’t realise it was on until she could smell the burning flesh.
@@ruthiecole8634 If you’re trying to be Gregory House’s friend, or even just his coworker, you need somebody to commiserate with. And you should probably add to your own insurance, just in case
10:29 Dr. Mike was so confused by this episode that he didn't even notice House endangering the girl because he cut her open without a surgical mask on, thus compromising the entire sterile field!
Thank you! It's endlessly frustrating when a doc makes you relitigate a diagnosis. Doc: "How do you know you have X? I've been a doc for 20 years." Me: "I've been me longer than you've been an MD, and the diagnosing physician was better at this than you will ever be."
As someone who suffered a stroke and ended up with constant numbness on one side of the body, I can say that I totally understand her. And yes, I agree with Mike. A world without pain is a dangerous world. It's scary how ironic it is.
One of House’s best zingers was in this episode. At the end of their back and forth, the girl says, “Boys can’t hold me for too long cause I’ll overheat.” And House, being the absolute legend that he is, claps back with, “Girls can’t hold me for too long cause I only pay for an hour.” 🤣
“Because you put her arm in scalding water!” That voice is so funny. I also appreciate very much that you are triggered by inaccuracies of the medical variety. It makes me happy that you know what you are doing.
To be fair the doctor asked her to remove her hand from the water several times and her dumbass ignored him. Even if you do have the condition surely you wouldn't be dumb enough to ignore someone telling you to stop doing something that could be damaging your body.
I don't get this Chase put her hand in cold water and then told "her" to move it to the hot and then take it out when he said to. It's not his fault she didn't listen.
Being someone who has chronic pain I can see Dr House’s point of view wanting to not be in pain. I also see the need to be in pain. It lets you know you’re alive and protects your body.
One criticism at 2:04 (and I’m not a doctor so tell me if I’m wrong) but surely they’d have to run a battery of tests anyway. If she has CEPA then she has no indications of internal and external issues and so the doctors would have to find out everything potentially wrong with her manually.
He later stated he would ran a PAN test (full body CT). So essentially, Doctor Mike would start with an other test and decide from there, where as Doctor House would start a battery of tests and Doctor House from there.
I love how all the previous "House MD" episodes covered by Dr Mike, were a way to calmly teach us about medical misconceptions. But this one is just him having a mental breakdown. We've all been there with that show ❤️
meanwhile i was having a mental breakdown watching Dr. Mike react, cuz 90% of his comments are unnecessary if he just watched another 10 seconds then spoke
I burst out laughing when they called for the ice packs and cooling blankets and he just exploded "FOR WHAT." My heart was hurting for the girl (I'm extremely sensitive emotionally when watching this kind of stuff) and then laughed at the same time, it was almost painful the dramatic shift in my chest. XD But it was so funny.
@@ziyabora he's allowed to react to just a few episodes without knowing the whole story and just react based on what he knows it's not like he's saying oh I know everything about this show he's just doing it for entertainment and education
I am so happy that Dr. Mike is doing House again. I believe that there is no other show that pull out more stress in our good doctor that House MD. I'm on the floor laughing, just seeing the look of frustration in Dr. Mike.
i love watching all of his videos because even if i wouldnt usually be interested in the topic, watching him react and put in all these little bits of input and information is so interesting and i learn so much. LOVE these videos, keep up the good work.
I love how Dr. Mike freaks out because of how insane House is. Because that is the point of House. As Cuddy said in one episode, he runs around the hospital playing mad scientist. He's not moved by treating pacients, he's moved by curiosity, it's only about finding something interesting to tackle and this episode shows exactly that. So House finds this girl, she twitches in a weird way and he figures "hey, maybe this girl doesn't feel pain, how cool is that?", and try to make her his lab rat. I really love this show.
Wish he would review the one where Foreman accidentally give a patient cemo that ends up killing her. House doesn't do as many crazy things in that one.
@@user-zb5pp5jf3s Which season was that one I recently bought the whole series of house and notice there are some episodes where house isn't as crazy in his diagnosis wish he Dr. Mike would review one like that.
Even if she was unable to feel pain, wouldn't you still need to anaesthetise her for as invasive an operation as cutting open her abdomen and removing a tapeworm? Even if I couldn't feel anything, I would still be panicking if someone just cut me open, and you can accidentally do serious damage to her body having her panicking and moving around. Inquiring minds
You would be panicking if someone cut you open because you are conditioned by all your past experiences of pain to understand that being cut causes pain, which you are naturally adverse to. But for someone who has never felt pain, there is no conditioned history that makes them fear physical injury and thus they will entirely lack the usual emotive responses. It doesn't matter that she rationally knows it'd be harmful to be cut open; the role that pain plays in conditioning a person's mind and behaviours is immense, because pain is your body's way of bulling you into not getting yourself killed, so without that consequence, there's nothing to inhibit any dangerous whims that might enter her mind. And especially not if her condition has taken a toll on her mental health and left her with little conscious concern for the preservation of her life, which seems to be the case for this patient.
@@michaelheliotis5279 That is absolutely a fair point. Setting a lack of understanding of pain aside though, you'd want her to be as still as possible, since unnecessary movement inherently increases risk, especially since with her condition and apparent mental health, it's entirely possible she doesn't understand that.
This episode gave me SO MUCH anxiety for so many reasons. The portrayal of things that should hurt which didn't, her complete disregard for all of the doctors and her maddening behaviors, not to mention the giant worm.
Maddening behaviors? How about the maddening behaviors of the doctors? Who sticks a drill into a girl’s head or forces her to burn her own hand all just because she couldn’t feel pain??
As someone born with a condition where it is rare that I feel pain, I can relate to some of this... I have Charcot-Marie-Tooth (CMT) disease and was literally born without myelin on my peripheral nervous system... I can feel pain, but only when it is extreme, so the pain warning system does not work for me... I dislocated my knee over 80 times and used to hit it back in place with a book, I would get fillings without any anesthetic. But it is dangerous too... I can get into a bathtub and not realize the water is too hot until my skin starts turning red. And most recently, I started having some discomfort in my mouth, and it turned out I had a deep infection, and it was too late to save the teeth... anyone else would have felt pain months before. It was even too late for root canals, so two teeth had to be completely removed. I do take good care of my teeth... and the X-rays taken four months before treatment showed no infection or issues. When I went back to the dentist, the dentist looked in my mouth and said that he was in pain just looking at your teeth. Anyway, as Dr. Mike said, it is more dangerous not to have pain than to have pain. I regularly bruise myself, probably bumping into things (CMT also involves a lack of coordination and balance issues)... sometimes I will come home really bruised and have no idea why because I did not feel that I bumped into anything.
Yeah it’s not a condition to be revered by people or to treat people any different. Not feeling pain doesn’t mean the people are on a mental level different than others. The drama made the girl seem like a psychopath.
@@bluepurplepink tbf, Dr Mike only looked deep into the medical portion of this episode. There was a lot of psychological stress this girl was under and the staff at this hospital didn't let her see her mom. On top of that, she felt guilty about the accident because she was arguing with her mother before the crash. It all adds up when you watch the whole thing for yourself.
@@bluepurplepink yes you are right. The reason pain exists is to let us know when something is wrong with our body, not to make our life harder. so people who envy people with CIPA are either ignorant or they really do live through unimaginable pain everyday.
Actually the dispatcher did the correct thing. She asked if she was hurt in order to understand if the girl could check for a pulse in the first place. Had she not done that she could’ve made any possible injuries worse.
In 1981 I went into labour with my second child & I didn’t know it. Luckily I had an anti natal appointment on the day & the Dr surprised me by asking me how long I’d been in labour & immediately had be admitted to the maternity ward. I had what the Dr said a “Rare Pain-free Labour. They had a nurse sit with her hand on my tummy to time how far apart the contractions were. They even asked for my permission to allow some student nurses to come in & learn about a pain free labour. The only pain I felt was when I had to push & my son was born pretty quick after that. I didn’t have an epidural, no pain meds nothing. I can’t say for certain how long the labour was but I was in the labour room for around 7 hours. Weirdly, to me, is that with my 1st & 3rd babies I had all the normal extremely painful contractions.
That's kinda unrelated to this condition though. CIPA patients can't taste, sense hot and cold, sweat or feel pain. If they ever get appendicitis and their organs start rotting, they wouldn't know. It's a genetic condition as well...
Yeap, it would be very unlikely for her to have survived this long in life without a diagnosis of CIPA already. She could have multiple injuries from the car crash she is completely unaware of because she can’t feel the pain. Her mother almost died so it was a bad car crash.
@@gamerdalaba6744 To be fair to Doctor Mike, the other doctors I have asked about “House, M.D.” had the same opinion as I did: good entertainment, but pretty frustrating, medically speaking, because of what Doctor Mike describes as “more likely a horse than it is a zebra.”
There was a top rock climber named Jim Bridwell who had cancer, but was cured. While climbing in South America, he was feeling weak, etc. and thought the cancer had come back. He decided to just drink himself to death. As it turned out, he had a tapeworm, and he drank so much alcohol that he killed it and passed it. He ended up living for decades more just dieing a couple of years ago in his 70's.
This is my Absolute favorite video you have put out, it’s great! I often ask myself questions when I watch House, some things on this show are straight crazy
if by consistently right you mean 'consistently gets in the way of things that, in the end, are done to save patients, even when she clearly knows house isnt doing things for shits n giggles' then yeah thats her
I love that you said mild fever :) In another episode I watched of yours you said to just let fevers do their thing more or less. The body reacts the way it thinks is best, until it isn't... which could lead to a very high fever.
I know this video is a few months old at this point- but if this girl had been a real patient I cannot even begin to IMAGINE the amount of trauma she would have to live with after this hospital experience. Regardless of whether or not she can feel the pain, she was physically mutilated both by the drilling into her skull, being hit, having her hand put in scalding water, being cut, and having her stomach opened all while she was conscious. Also the fact that they let her stand on that ledge in the hospital without anyone trying to talk her down or safeguard under the ledge to attempt to break her fall? Ridiculous. The psychological effects of watching a (I believe they said 25 ft) tapeworm pulled out of your own body has to be debilitating on top of all the other things she was conscious for against her own will. They obviously don’t seem too against wasting hospital materials, so why couldn’t they have gotten her anesthesia at least for the removal of the tapeworm?
What realy make house a well written character is the fact that a real doctor like Mike is annoyed from his decisions most of the time .. like the rest of the doctors in house's team lol.
House MD is a poorly-written TV show full of terrible acting (Wilson, I'm looking at you), awful exposition problems (i.e., House explaining basic medical facts to his team) et al. Still, despite all that, it's a fantastic show (at least until "House's Head" and "Wilson's Heart"), and the reason is Hugh Laurie. Such a great example of perfect casting. Disclaimer: I love House MD. I've seen all 8 seasons more times than I'm willing to admit, and I also own it on Blu-ray. So I'm not trying to trash it. I'm just giving my poorly-educated opinion.
@@alfisdrake I've watched the show a lot, but I don't know if I'd say the show is full of terrible acting. I think everyone does well for the most part.
@@CartoonHangout, you're right. It's not that bad. But it is not great either. It's above average. I love Robert Sean Leonard, but Wilson is not his best work. Same for Omar Epps. To be fair, recent tv shows have left the bar so high in terms of acting that I'm probably being too harsh. What can I say, I'm spoiled by Ted Lasso.
You left out the part where House wanted the nerve biopsy on her so that he could grow his own little colony of pain free nerves to implant into himself, so that his leg wouldn't hurt anymore.
@@bendover7841 Yeah he's in constant excruciating pain that interferes with his life 24/7, I wouldn't call him a reprehensible jerk for taking an opportunity to try to get rid of it.
@@logirex That part was weird. You have to wait for the light that comes on when the thermometer gets a final reading, Dr. Cameron didn't and just took the first number she saw as the temperature. Production time i suppose
My mother knows a person with nerve damage that can't feel any pain or temperature in a large part of her body. She's pretty much perfectly fine outside of that, but once she got badly burnt because she was basically sitting on a stove that was heated and didn't realize until she perceived the smell. Not feeling pain isn't as cool as it sounds. Pain is important. You can have all sorts of bad stuff happening without realizing.
"Not feeling pain isn't as cool as it sounds. Pain is important. You can have all sorts of bad stuff happening without realizing." Pain is imperative to recognize when you are in peril, to give the human mind context.
@@johnmccrossan9376 you are wrong here. There are also injuries that while not life thretening, can make your life way harder or indirectly cause your death. Pain is a function given to us so that we know when something is wrong with our bodies, scale isn't the main issue here.
He should watch Shameless. They have hospital scenes that make NO SENSE. Like giving Narcan for a COCAINE overdose..... IT WOULD LITERALLY DO ABSOLUTELY NOTHING except pad the hospital bill.....
@Rebecca Hetrick These days, most street drugs including cocaine is laced with sometimes lethal doses of fentanyl.. So i could see why narcan would help actually
I love House, I love watching Dr. Mike react to House. This one by far he had the most issues with when it came to medical accuracy lol it was an extremely outlandish episode.
What's funny here is that House still has the confidence to advertise themselves as the most ''medically accurate'' TV show there is. I mean, Dr. Mike could have seizures if he watched a whole season of HOUSE.
I’ve never seen it advertised as such. I mainly watch for the intrigue of the characters and story, with medical drama as a gateway. I appreciate learning more about medicine through House but I’d never say that it’s accurate
@@jolonghthong5377 "It's not exactly everyday medicine. While House markets itself as one of the more medically accurate dramas on TV today, it still features plastic surgeons performing endoscopies and forging prescriptions." - John Hopkins Newsletter. Though these episodes are based on real cases, most of it are overdramatic and exagerrated and ends up causing misinformation. This is also why Dr. Mike declined such offers.
House is the reason I developed anxiety to every single symptom I've ever had. Like actual psychologically ruined me. Not wven being dramatic. The amount of weird illness that I just thought happened all the time
Dr Mike: "If she already knows she has CIPA why run the battery of tests?" Also Dr Mike: "She has CIPA and was just involved in a car accident, you should pan scan her, make sure she doesn't have internal bleeding or injuries". Also, House had an ulterior motive for wanting the nerve biopsy. He wanted to graft her pain-free nerve into his painful leg. Probably doesn't make sense medically, let alone morally, but at least it explains why he wanted the biopsy in the context if the episode.
The battery of tests are to check for everything that would have be noticed from pain responses. So she doesn't bleed to death internally while checking on her mom. I wouldn't be surprised if she has many other "little" injuries. My family can feel pain, but without the panic response. So we can sit still while someone digs into a wound.
The first question from Dr. Mike was in response seemingly to prove that she had CIPA, even though House had just mentioned she had it. The second statement was in light of the fact that she clearly had CIPA, why did they not run a pan scan to check for injuries she would otherwise be unaware of, instead of just treating the superficial wounds. His questions/remarks made sense.
@@kbee8517 Not really. What House was saying in the beginning was that because she had CIPA she had to be tested for internal injuries she might be unaware of, not tested for CIPA. He literally says "We have to do X-rays to make sure you don't have internal injuries, blood tests to make sure there are no infections and EEG for neurological anomalies...". Nothing about testing for CIPA. Clearly Dr. Mike didn't realize this at the time and was confused by the battery of tests. He did realize it later on, though, saying that she should be tested, echoing exactly what House said in the beginning and what he made fun of him for. Hence my comment.
@@phsopher I think to Dr. Mike it may have seemed like House's tests were unnecessary in the beginning, since House was testing for things out of personal interest and less the patient's... Which, is in character for House. But either way it's not a big deal; the show is exaggerated, House wouldn't make a very good doctor based on attitude, and Dr. Mike's just responding to that.
Love your content. As a first responder, I am gonna disagree with you that the first question the dispatcher should ask is if there is a pulse and to start compressions. In active traumatic incidents, people don't always realize they are injured. It's important to remind them to self check first, because they could be bleeding out. If that person immediately renders aid to the other person, that could lose valuable time to tend to their wounds and possibly result in first responders having to rescue two subjects from critical injuries instead of one. At least this has proven true from my training and experience.
also from a firefighter perspective on the jumping and putting something below her,... actually it can incentivice some people to jump, that's why only fully blown rescue devices will be set below, they aren't assembled at the point, but out of sight
That‘s similar to what we’re taught in first aid certification class. The first thing to do (after activating EMS) is to check the scene for danger. If someone’s electrocuted and the downed power line’s still there, DON’T TOUCH THEM!
awesome episode. I choose to believe House learned all the signs of CIPA beforehand and was screening for patients in the ER in case he finds one, so that he could experiment on them and find a cure for his condition.
If I recall correctly, that's exactly why he wanted the nerve biopsy. Some experimental procedure to have it implanted/copied into him so his leg wouldn't hurt anymore.
Love that there’s always a point in every episode where we can see Wilson wondering why he’s choosing to spend his time with house just by the look on his face lmao
From now on, if I ever see a medical scene in any form of entertainment, I am going to ask myself, "How much is Doctor Mike going to lose his mind on this?"
It might not be the best medical show in terms of accuracy, but in terms of entertainment DR HOUSE was the best medical show that ever existed. Hugh's acting is legendary, his american accent is uncanny. And Dr Wilson is hugely underrated. React to more Mike❤️❤️
I once made a comment to someone that I would love to see Laurie play Sherlock Holmes, and they rolled their eyes and said he would NEVER be able to do the accent. 😂
i have the b12 anemia problem, and even when my levels are in the "normal" range, i can tell when they are tanking. so i mean if she's normally around 1000, and her levels dropped to 250, she's still in "normal" range, but it can make a huge difference in how her body is working.
Dr Mike, I just wanted to wish you a happy new year. Thanks for everything in 2021, the Psych2Go team loved working with you and seeing you change so many lives. :) Take care. x -Monica
You should do a video on performing pain. How some people will report their pain as a 10, but are too tired to “perform” a 10, so they aren’t taken seriously. And how people with chronic pain will rate a high pain as lower because they label their everyday pain as 0; they don’t realize 0 is supposed to be no pain.
Absolutely! As someone with chronic fatigue, I think it would be wonderful if Dr. Mike used his platform to raise awareness about chronic conditions and how they affect the way patients experience pain on a day-to-day basis
took my doctors longer to figure out i had pancreatitis in part because i had been dealing with chronic pain so long i had a high pain tolerance and what should’ve been a 10 was just a 7 or 8 for me
@@hudnora4164it hurt but i could talk i needed to i have a high pain tolerance there’s no way to know what intense level 10 pain is if you don’t feel it yourself
Not being able to feel pain was an interesting subject for me because my brother couldn’t feel pain all of our growing up. Had one time he stepped on a board with a screw in it, it went completely through his foot and got stuck to his foot so he called for our mom saying that he was stuck. Him having no sense of pain created some interesting predicaments because he didn’t know we could feel pain and so he was not aware that taking a burning stick and poking someone with it was dangerous 🤦♀️ I don’t really know how and neither do his doctors but he seems to have grown out of his condition which is a really good thing. The only thing the doctors have guessed at it being is they discovered that my brother has a cyst in his brain and they said there is a chance that as he has grown whatever pressure that cyst was putting on his brain was slowly relieved which gave his nerves feeling. I think it’s a bit bizarre but I’m not a doctor so I’m just going with whatever they say it was 🤷♀️ either way I’m very happy he can finally feel pain and seem a bit less like a sociopath because of him finally understanding how other people feel and not having a lack of empathy any longer 😅
“If she admits she already has CIPA why would House run a batter of tests.“ Because she was involved in a car accident, and lacks the ability to point to anywhere that a normal person would have pain. The spinal biopsy is not necessary (it’s a plot point, spoilers), but getting X-rays, at least is at this point pretty vital. She could have a cracked rib, or a broken pelvis, and no one could tell, because… again, no pain. 😆of course, through the magic of editing that’s exactly what he was talking about two seconds later.
he meant why would they run diagnostic tests for that disease. you don't need to re-diagnose a disease she already knows she has. As he said, she only needed a pet scan to make sure she had no broken bones or internal bleeding. 1h scan, non invasive. All the rest was just for his fun!
@@mellie4174 Right, and all except the biopsy were tests to look for injuries/diseases she might not know she has. Sure, IRL they would probably just pan scan as he later mentioned, but this is also for TV, and even IRL if someone is trying to bury an unnecessary self-serving biopsy with other tests, it helps to bury it in more stuff than just “we need a pan scan… and a spinal biopsy.”
There’s a UK BBC programme called Bodies that ran in the early 2000s and would love to see your reaction to it and if it’s accurate at all. I’m only early on in the series but it is about how a surgeon has some dodgy methods and how he seems to manage to talk his way out of how patients have died under his watch.
Not all episodes have this many flaws, i'm a biologist and i think that house MD is actually very educational and pretty accurate compared to other medical shows but i have to agree that in some episodes they do overdramatize for the sake of entrainment.
Mike watching house is like a kid watching their grandparent use technology for the first time. They do everything wrong, and want to intervene to do it right, but they know they can’t.
House would do the tests because, being the crash, she can't tell what parts of her are injured and what parts aren't, which means she could have internal injuries she doesn't feel that would debilitate another person. 2:30 THANK U Hannah: doesnt take hand out of the water HE TOLD HER TO TAKE IT OUT, THE BURNS ARENT TECHNICALLY IS FAULT, SHE SHOULDVE LISTENING.
I'm a huge fan of House, and I knew that they overexagerated these scenes to make it more exciting, but I didn't realize they overexagerated almost everything. This is a great video!
My favorite part of this episode is where the girl says "boys can't hold me too long cause I can overheat" and House goes "girls can't hold me too long cause I only pay for an hour."

I wonder how much the patient's medical bills are after House gets into the patient's case.
He works at a free clinic
It's a teaching hospital so it's free care to the patient.
Teaching hospital, basically the clinic is free, and house's department is like the end of the road for lost causes, aka cases no other doctors could solve, free as well iirc
Dr. : "I feel like he is wasting hospital resources"
House: **orders paternity tests that costs 5000 dollars just for a bet**
And he won because he had already noticed the chin dimple, wasn't it? Omg I was a kid but I remember this XD
It only costs 5000$ because there's an insane markup.
Isn't an IV bag like 200$ or something absolutely insane like that?
@@MediHusky I was going to say something similar. Prices have no basis in reality, they're made up.
@@w1975b except you live in the USA (fortunately not me) then these prices seem awfully realistic
That´s basicly premise of this series.
“Honestly, I wish I was this girl simply so that I could sue this hospital and become a billionaire.” I’m dying. but like yes me too.
I mean Cuddy did say in an episode the hospital puts aside a bunch of money for all of Houses lawsuits lol
“Judge, jury.. they drilled into my skull cuz maybe they thought I’d feel it. I win.”
This is why I'm considering medical law & ethics.
I wouldn't want to be her. For whatever money. This is a horrible and very dangerous condition and even being a billionaire will only do so much for you if you're in constant danger of everything.
I don't know if I'd want to do that. If you have cipa you are going to need a hospital and some doctors might shy away from people who sue people for billions.
I actually love this episode, because you're absolutely right - House took the case for literally no reason other than that he was interested in someone who has CIPA, and felt jealous of her inability to feel pain. She coincidentally happened to actually be sick, despite showing no outward signs.
But what this episode does is blatantly demonstrate that House and his team care more about results than process. It's a case study in "the ends justify the means." They are breaching so, so many ethical codes and legal statutes regarding medical care, but since the patient doesn't physically feel worse, they can get away with it. I mean, the surgery scene alone would have probably resulted in several people losing their medical licenses. Performing surgery without consent, barging into an active operating room, cutting a patient open without putting them under to prevent them from moving around... But because House was right, nobody even brings it up again.
The ends justify the means. Doesn't matter how much trauma the patient walks away with, as long as they're able to walk away.
Please explain if he is md how can he do a surgery
If I remember correctly she was also having psychotic episodes and the surgery was an emergency, so that's why they got away with it that easily. An appendix removal was literally happening next to them, but House said that it's low priority, and stole all the surgery staff.

hope you are doing well!
One of House’s best zingers was in this episode. At the end of their back and forth, the girl says, “Boys can’t hold me for too long cause I’ll overheat.” And House, being the absolute legend that he is, claps back with, “Girls can’t hold me for too long cause I only pay for an hour.” 🤣
“Because you put her arm in scalding water!” That voice is so funny. I also appreciate very much that you are triggered by inaccuracies of the medical variety. It makes me happy that you know what you are doing.
To be fair the doctor asked her to remove her hand from the water several times and her dumbass ignored him. Even if you do have the condition surely you wouldn't be dumb enough to ignore someone telling you to stop doing something that could be damaging your body.

Hold up you changed ur Pfp?
Being someone who has chronic pain I can see Dr House’s point of view wanting to not be in pain. I also see the need to be in pain. It lets you know you’re alive and protects your body.
One criticism at 2:04 (and I’m not a doctor so tell me if I’m wrong) but surely they’d have to run a battery of tests anyway. If she has CEPA then she has no indications of internal and external issues and so the doctors would have to find out everything potentially wrong with her manually.
He later stated he would ran a PAN test (full body CT).
So essentially, Doctor Mike would start with an other test and decide from there,
where as Doctor House would start a battery of tests and Doctor House from there.
I love how all the previous "House MD" episodes covered by Dr Mike, were a way to calmly teach us about medical misconceptions. But this one is just him having a mental breakdown. We've all been there with that show ❤️

I love how Dr. Mike freaks out because of how insane House is. Because that is the point of House. As Cuddy said in one episode, he runs around the hospital playing mad scientist. He's not moved by treating pacients, he's moved by curiosity, it's only about finding something interesting to tackle and this episode shows exactly that. So House finds this girl, she twitches in a weird way and he figures "hey, maybe this girl doesn't feel pain, how cool is that?", and try to make her his lab rat. I really love this show.

Hahahaha true😂
Even if she was unable to feel pain, wouldn't you still need to anaesthetise her for as invasive an operation as cutting open her abdomen and removing a tapeworm? Even if I couldn't feel anything, I would still be panicking if someone just cut me open, and you can accidentally do serious damage to her body having her panicking and moving around. Inquiring minds
Yeah, it doesn't make any sense. Even without being able to feel pain, leaving her awake for an operation like that would be cruel and dangerous
@Rain spirit Yeah, but this isn't one of them. Those are usually neurosurgery, or something that can be managed locally, like dental operations
@Rain spirit yeah but they typically still try to separate you from actually seeing what’s going on.
You would be panicking if someone cut you open because you are conditioned by all your past experiences of pain to understand that being cut causes pain, which you are naturally adverse to. But for someone who has never felt pain, there is no conditioned history that makes them fear physical injury and thus they will entirely lack the usual emotive responses. It doesn't matter that she rationally knows it'd be harmful to be cut open; the role that pain plays in conditioning a person's mind and behaviours is immense, because pain is your body's way of bulling you into not getting yourself killed, so without that consequence, there's nothing to inhibit any dangerous whims that might enter her mind. And especially not if her condition has taken a toll on her mental health and left her with little conscious concern for the preservation of her life, which seems to be the case for this patient.
@@michaelheliotis5279 That is absolutely a fair point. Setting a lack of understanding of pain aside though, you'd want her to be as still as possible, since unnecessary movement inherently increases risk, especially since with her condition and apparent mental health, it's entirely possible she doesn't understand that.
This episode gave me SO MUCH anxiety for so many reasons. The portrayal of things that should hurt which didn't, her complete disregard for all of the doctors and her maddening behaviors, not to mention the giant worm.
Maddening behaviors? How about the maddening behaviors of the doctors? Who sticks a drill into a girl’s head or forces her to burn her own hand all just because she couldn’t feel pain??
i love rewatching the videos where he reacts to stuff- house md is so UNBELIEVABLY out of bounds, crazy and so unexpected its funny XD
As someone born with a condition where it is rare that I feel pain, I can relate to some of this... I have Charcot-Marie-Tooth (CMT) disease and was literally born without myelin on my peripheral nervous system... I can feel pain, but only when it is extreme, so the pain warning system does not work for me... I dislocated my knee over 80 times and used to hit it back in place with a book, I would get fillings without any anesthetic. But it is dangerous too... I can get into a bathtub and not realize the water is too hot until my skin starts turning red. And most recently, I started having some discomfort in my mouth, and it turned out I had a deep infection, and it was too late to save the teeth... anyone else would have felt pain months before. It was even too late for root canals, so two teeth had to be completely removed. I do take good care of my teeth... and the X-rays taken four months before treatment showed no infection or issues. When I went back to the dentist, the dentist looked in my mouth and said that he was in pain just looking at your teeth. Anyway, as Dr. Mike said, it is more dangerous not to have pain than to have pain. I regularly bruise myself, probably bumping into things (CMT also involves a lack of coordination and balance issues)... sometimes I will come home really bruised and have no idea why because I did not feel that I bumped into anything.
I have so many questions
Yeah it’s not a condition to be revered by people or to treat people any different. Not feeling pain doesn’t mean the people are on a mental level different than others. The drama made the girl seem like a psychopath.
@@bluepurplepink tbf, Dr Mike only looked deep into the medical portion of this episode. There was a lot of psychological stress this girl was under and the staff at this hospital didn't let her see her mom. On top of that, she felt guilty about the accident because she was arguing with her mother before the crash. It all adds up when you watch the whole thing for yourself.
@@bluepurplepink yes you are right. The reason pain exists is to let us know when something is wrong with our body, not to make our life harder. so people who envy people with CIPA are either ignorant or they really do live through unimaginable pain everyday.
I can't imagine how hard that must be to have to self monitor constantly so you don't hurt yourself.
Actually the dispatcher did the correct thing. She asked if she was hurt in order to understand if the girl could check for a pulse in the first place. Had she not done that she could’ve made any possible injuries worse.
Yup, always got to consider your own safety first before helping others...
That's so true!
I was thinking the same thing.
Ofcourse doctors can be wrong. We all humans.
Did she ask to check for a pulse afterwards though?
Mike wincing and confusion throughout the entire episode is a freaking mood
In 1981 I went into labour with my second child & I didn’t know it. Luckily I had an anti natal appointment on the day & the Dr surprised me by asking me how long I’d been in labour & immediately had be admitted to the maternity ward.
I had what the Dr said a “Rare Pain-free Labour. They had a nurse sit with her hand on my tummy to time how far apart the contractions were. They even asked for my permission to allow some student nurses to come in & learn about a pain free labour. The only pain I felt was when I had to push & my son was born pretty quick after that. I didn’t have an epidural, no pain meds nothing. I can’t say for certain how long the labour was but I was in the labour room for around 7 hours.
Weirdly, to me, is that with my 1st & 3rd babies I had all the normal extremely painful contractions.
That's kinda unrelated to this condition though.
CIPA patients can't taste, sense hot and cold, sweat or feel pain. If they ever get appendicitis and their organs start rotting, they wouldn't know. It's a genetic condition as well...
Not a doctor, but I’m guessing you had some bizarre neuro/hormonal response. Maybe stress-induced insensitivity.
When he said "run a battery of tests" he didn't mean to diagnose her with CIPA, he meant they have to check for internal injuries
Dr.Mike should watch these shows with an open mind .
To be fair, the rest of the episode was pretty ridiculous
The weirder part is in the very next scene he laid out that they should do a full body scan to check for injuries she isn't feeling.
Yeap, it would be very unlikely for her to have survived this long in life without a diagnosis of CIPA already. She could have multiple injuries from the car crash she is completely unaware of because she can’t feel the pain. Her mother almost died so it was a bad car crash.
@@gamerdalaba6744 To be fair to Doctor Mike, the other doctors I have asked about “House, M.D.” had the same opinion as I did: good entertainment, but pretty frustrating, medically speaking, because of what Doctor Mike describes as “more likely a horse than it is a zebra.”
There was a top rock climber named Jim Bridwell who had cancer, but was cured. While climbing in South America, he was feeling weak, etc. and thought the cancer had come back. He decided to just drink himself to death. As it turned out, he had a tapeworm, and he drank so much alcohol that he killed it and passed it.

I love that you said mild fever :) In another episode I watched of yours you said to just let fevers do their thing more or less. The body reacts the way it thinks is best, until it isn't... which could lead to a very high fever.
I know this video is a few months old at this point- but if this girl had been a real patient I cannot even begin to IMAGINE the amount of trauma she would have to live with after this hospital experience. Regardless of whether or not she can feel the pain, she was physically mutilated both by the drilling into her skull, being hit, having her hand put in scalding water, being cut, and having her stomach opened all while she was conscious. Also the fact that they let her stand on that ledge in the hospital without anyone trying to talk her down or safeguard under the ledge to attempt to break her fall? Ridiculous. The psychological effects of watching a (I believe they said 25 ft) tapeworm pulled out of your own body has to be debilitating on top of all the other things she was conscious for against her own will. They obviously don’t seem too against wasting hospital materials, so why couldn’t they have gotten her anesthesia at least for the removal of the tapeworm?
What realy make house a well written character is the fact that a real doctor like Mike is annoyed from his decisions most of the time .. like the rest of the doctors in house's team lol.
Except Mike gets just as annoyed at the team's decisions too.
I mean, you don't need to be a well-written character for that. Just an annoying one.
House MD is a poorly-written TV show full of terrible acting (Wilson, I'm looking at you), awful exposition problems (i.e., House explaining basic medical facts to his team) et al.

Just catching up on all these and Doctor Mike gets progressively more exasperated with each House video 😂😂😂
Dr Mike: "If she already knows she has CIPA why run the battery of tests?"
Also Dr Mike: "She has CIPA and was just involved in a car accident, you should pan scan her, make sure she doesn't have internal bleeding or injuries".
Also, House had an ulterior motive for wanting the nerve biopsy. He wanted to graft her pain-free nerve into his painful leg. Probably doesn't make sense medically, let alone morally, but at least it explains why he wanted the biopsy in the context if the episode.
The battery of tests are to check for everything that would have be noticed from pain responses. So she doesn't bleed to death internally while checking on her mom. I wouldn't be surprised if she has many other "little" injuries. My family can feel pain, but without the panic response. So we can sit still while someone digs into a wound.
The first question from Dr. Mike was in response seemingly to prove that she had CIPA, even though House had just mentioned she had it. The second statement was in light of the fact that she clearly had CIPA, why did they not run a pan scan to check for injuries she would otherwise be unaware of, instead of just treating the superficial wounds. His questions/remarks made sense.
@@kbee8517 Not really. What House was saying in the beginning was that because she had CIPA she had to be tested for internal injuries she might be unaware of, not tested for CIPA. He literally says "We have to do X-rays to make sure you don't have internal injuries, blood tests to make sure there are no infections and EEG for neurological anomalies...". Nothing about testing for CIPA.
Clearly Dr. Mike didn't realize this at the time and was confused by the battery of tests. He did realize it later on, though, saying that she should be tested, echoing exactly what House said in the beginning and what he made fun of him for.
Hence my comment.
@@phsopher I think to Dr. Mike it may have seemed like House's tests were unnecessary in the beginning, since House was testing for things out of personal interest and less the patient's... Which, is in character for House.
But either way it's not a big deal; the show is exaggerated, House wouldn't make a very good doctor based on attitude, and Dr. Mike's just responding to that.

Love your content. As a first responder, I am gonna disagree with you that the first question the dispatcher should ask is if there is a pulse and to start compressions. In active traumatic incidents, people don't always realize they are injured. It's important to remind them to self check first, because they could be bleeding out. If that person immediately renders aid to the other person, that could lose valuable time to tend to their wounds and possibly result in first responders having to rescue two subjects from critical injuries instead of one. At least this has proven true from my training and experience.

also from a firefighter perspective on the jumping and putting something below her,... actually it can incentivice some people to jump, that's why only fully blown rescue devices will be set below, they aren't assembled at the point, but out of sight
That‘s similar to what we’re taught in first aid certification class. The first thing to do (after activating EMS) is to check the scene for danger. If someone’s electrocuted and the downed power line’s still there, DON’T TOUCH THEM!
awesome episode. I choose to believe House learned all the signs of CIPA beforehand and was screening for patients in the ER in case he finds one, so that he could experiment on them and find a cure for his condition.
If I recall correctly, that's exactly why he wanted the nerve biopsy. Some experimental procedure to have it implanted/copied into him so his leg wouldn't hurt anymore.
I'm actually addicted to your channel and specially this series of vids on House MD.
these episodes are so much more fun to watch with Dr. Mike's commentary
Love that there’s always a point in every episode where we can see Wilson wondering why he’s choosing to spend his time with house just by the look on his face lmao
From now on, if I ever see a medical scene in any form of entertainment, I am going to ask myself, "How much is Doctor Mike going to lose his mind on this?"
Right lol I want to know how he will react to each medical scene
me when I play video games and the medical treatment is put a bandage on it I am looking at you sniper Elite.
@@David_Quinn_Photography please call of duty you respawn from being blown up by a grenade in a moving truck , or sniped through the head.
@@Holderman-lj2rw yep COD has respawns
@@David_Quinn_Photography which they shouldn’t . It should be limited or none at all. Other games you get killed , your out until a new game starts .
I love House but this is fantastic, do more of these!
Omg this was my favorite. You should definitely react to more House episodes!!!!
Alternative title “Dr Mike, slowly going insane at the ridiculousness of House MD” 😂
It might not be the best medical show in terms of accuracy, but in terms of entertainment DR HOUSE was the best medical show that ever existed. Hugh's acting is legendary, his american accent is uncanny. And Dr Wilson is hugely underrated. React to more Mike❤️❤️
Yes! And by far the best and most inventive modern Sherlock Holmes adaptation.
I once made a comment to someone that I would love to see Laurie play Sherlock Holmes, and they rolled their eyes and said he would NEVER be able to do the accent. 😂
@@quiestinliteris LMAO! If only they knew.
I agree… I loved the show.
I agree
i have the b12 anemia problem, and even when my levels are in the "normal" range, i can tell when they are tanking. so i mean if she's normally around 1000, and her levels dropped to 250, she's still in "normal" range, but it can make a huge difference in how her body is working.
I LOOOOOOVE how much he's calling out everything they're doing wrong, it's so so funny
Dr mike is gonna come for medical show accuracy always and forever
unrelated, but banana
banaenae
He kinda teaches us medical facts
Dr Mike, I just wanted to wish you a happy new year. Thanks for everything in 2021, the Psych2Go team loved working with you and seeing you change so many lives. :) Take care. x

love your videos ! Happy new year!🙋🏼♀️🥂
Happy new year! 🤗🤗🤗
Ha ha dont forget to join in on S6! And a Hny :D
You two should collab, I would love to see it, love your videos😊
Hello Psych2Go! Love your videos!
I would love more house reactions. They are obviously often far-fetched but still a blast to see your reaction to.
10:41 Forget being cut open, I'd lose my mind from seeing that worm come out of me.
Tapeworms are my worst nightmare.
You should do a video on performing pain. How some people will report their pain as a 10, but are too tired to “perform” a 10, so they aren’t taken seriously. And how people with chronic pain will rate a high pain as lower because they label their everyday pain as 0; they don’t realize 0 is supposed to be no pain.
Absolutely! As someone with chronic fatigue, I think it would be wonderful if Dr. Mike used his platform to raise awareness about chronic conditions and how they affect the way patients experience pain on a day-to-day basis
Lol
took my doctors longer to figure out i had pancreatitis in part because i had been dealing with chronic pain so long i had a high pain tolerance and what should’ve been a 10 was just a 7 or 8 for me
If you can hold a conversation, Your pain is not a 10...
@@hudnora4164it hurt but i could talk i needed to i have a high pain tolerance there’s no way to know what intense level 10 pain is if you don’t feel it yourself
Imagine the PTSD this girl would have of hospitals an doctors if this were a real case
They established in the episode that she does hate hospitals and doctors.
Not being able to feel pain was an interesting subject for me because my brother couldn’t feel pain all of our growing up. Had one time he stepped on a board with a screw in it, it went completely through his foot and got stuck to his foot so he called for our mom saying that he was stuck.
Him having no sense of pain created some interesting predicaments because he didn’t know we could feel pain and so he was not aware that taking a burning stick and poking someone with it was dangerous 🤦♀️
I don’t really know how and neither do his doctors but he seems to have grown out of his condition which is a really good thing. The only thing the doctors have guessed at it being is they discovered that my brother has a cyst in his brain and they said there is a chance that as he has grown whatever pressure that cyst was putting on his brain was slowly relieved which gave his nerves feeling. I think it’s a bit bizarre but I’m not a doctor so I’m just going with whatever they say it was 🤷♀️ either way I’m very happy he can finally feel pain and seem a bit less like a sociopath because of him finally understanding how other people feel and not having a lack of empathy any longer 😅
Well, cipa patients can't really grow out of it and they die early too. It's genetic so random people won't be having that at least...
Dr Mike, you are HILARIOUS ❤😂
LOVE YOUR VIDEOS! Thank you
“If she admits she already has CIPA why would House run a batter of tests.“ Because she was involved in a car accident, and lacks the ability to point to anywhere that a normal person would have pain. The spinal biopsy is not necessary (it’s a plot point, spoilers), but getting X-rays, at least is at this point pretty vital. She could have a cracked rib, or a broken pelvis, and no one could tell, because… again, no pain.
😆of course, through the magic of editing that’s exactly what he was talking about two seconds later.
I’m also wondering why Dr. Mike Questions the tests.
I’d have thought similarly
he meant why would they run diagnostic tests for that disease. you don't need to re-diagnose a disease she already knows she has. As he said, she only needed a pet scan to make sure she had no broken bones or internal bleeding. 1h scan, non invasive. All the rest was just for his fun!
@@mellie4174 Right, and all except the biopsy were tests to look for injuries/diseases she might not know she has. Sure, IRL they would probably just pan scan as he later mentioned, but this is also for TV, and even IRL if someone is trying to bury an unnecessary self-serving biopsy with other tests, it helps to bury it in more stuff than just “we need a pan scan… and a spinal biopsy.”
I mean... House doesn't really phrase any of it like that, he's more concerned about the CIPA than her being in an accident.
Battery*
"Doctor house is out of control and so am I" that's our doctor!!! I was missing the energy Mike put in his videos and jokes hahaha 🤣
Your stress every reaction to house md is so hilarious. not complaining. i get to learn from it lol.
I love your video Dr Mike. I learn some many medical things from you.
doctor mike would be a perfect character for this series, like that skeptical resident who is always challenging house. they would be smart rivals 😌
Mike still getting rattled by House is hilarious to watch.
Hello Anna-ward . Where are you From?
There’s a UK BBC programme called Bodies that ran in the early 2000s and would love to see your reaction to it and if it’s accurate at all. I’m only early on in the series but it is about how a surgeon has some dodgy methods and how he seems to manage to talk his way out of how patients have died under his watch.
As someone who has no medical knowledge I always wondered how accurate this show was Glad you reacted to this and pointed out all of the flaws
Not all episodes have this many flaws, i'm a biologist and i think that house MD is actually very educational and pretty accurate compared to other medical shows but i have to agree that in some episodes they do overdramatize for the sake of entrainment.
I never see you more agitated than when you’re reviewing this show…and I love it💯❤️
Mike watching house is like a kid watching their grandparent use technology for the first time. They do everything wrong, and want to intervene to do it right, but they know they can’t.
House would do the tests because, being the crash, she can't tell what parts of her are injured and what parts aren't, which means she could have internal injuries she doesn't feel that would debilitate another person. 2:30 THANK U
Hannah: doesnt take hand out of the water
HE TOLD HER TO TAKE IT OUT, THE BURNS ARENT TECHNICALLY IS FAULT, SHE SHOULDVE LISTENING.
This was my first eps of house great eps as always
I'm a huge fan of House, and I knew that they overexagerated these scenes to make it more exciting, but I didn't realize they overexagerated almost everything. This is a great video!
