Doctor Mike to me is personally more interesting in his doctor reaction videos, but I'm growing to like Dr Hope also, the whole processional reacts genre is very entertaining as a whole.
'Real homeless man reacting to poor people in movies" "Real woman reacting to females in media" "Real child with a lemonade stand reacts to lemonade stands in tv shows"
6:20 I just wanted to point out, you have to remember that in the show, the premise is that it's _usually_ accepted as a given that by the time a patient gets to House, they've already had a full history and examination by other doctors. As a rule of thumb, House gets the cases that stump other doctors, the show just skips over the stumping part. When he _does_ do the "back to basics" stuff, it's because he now has to assume that something was missed by those initial doctors. Unfortunately, the show also tends to skip giving the duration between the time the patient first experienced problems and the time House took the case.
That's a good point, but if doctors may have missed something on a diagnostic test, it's even more likely they missed something in the interview. I've got a complicated chronic condition, and a shallow interview is a reliable indicator of a bad doctor.
Matthew Swenson ~ Right, but as acerbic as House is, as much as he thinks everyone else are idiots, he assumes that other doctors are actually competent at their jobs. If he assumed he had to start at square one with every new patient, it could cost him valuable time in diagnosing the real problem.
This is one of the parts I always think people forget about House, if your his patient, like 6 times out of 10 it's because other Doctors have tried and failed to help you, and another 3 times it's because his Team or Cuddy found something they can't figure out. Which explains why it's said rich people are wiling to pay so much for House, thus the Hospital keeping him despite his attitude and why his cases are always so weird.
From a medical standpoint, that is young. There are illnesses that affect only sertain age-groups and illnesses that are more likely in sertain age-groups. Looking at it that way, forties is young.
I think what many people miss about House is that he is a last resort for the patients. Usually it is implied at some point that the patient had undergone already treatment and test and everything but nobody can fix it or even find out what's wrong with them...and that's when they go to House. And that's way he is shooting with the hard stuff - all the basic test are already made and they are inconclusive as long as all sorts of treatment. But with every episode that is a bit lost and you just have to keep it in your mind
It's both a negative and a positive when you think about it from a production point of view. A lot of the stuff about how House's patients come to him and how long it can often take are established in the early episodes. For example, the patient in Ep1 he doesn't take until Wilson lies and tells him that it's his cousin, but even that patient had been going from doctor to doctor for a month. In Ep2, the patient is plagued by undiagnosed night terrors and Cameron agrees to take the patient for House, and the fact that the teen is having night terrors is what intrigues him. There are a few cases here or there that are plucked out of the ER or that are specially referred directly to him, but we can safely assume 90% of House's cases probably have sought out every last option until they turned to a very expensive and very extreme option in House. Where it's a negative is that all of this is established in the first season / few episodes and the show lasted 8 years. So midway through Season 4 you might be thinking "Wait, why didn't they do this routine stuff first?" having forgotten what has been established. Also the show's editing doesn't help in that it seems to indicate that Scene A (Patient nearly dying) leads directly to Scene B (House's staff briefing him on the case). In reality, there could be Scenes B, C, D, E, F, G in there which show the patient has been through this a thousand times and that Scene A didn't directly lead to that person being in House's care, but that's also a lot of extra film time which would eat up time dedicated to the main part of the show. So give and take.
Not always the case. There are a lot of moments in the show where the doctors are criticizing House's brash jumps to conclusions, implying that they haven't eliminated the likeliest diagnoses yet.
This was honestly great. It's fun listening to someone who knows medicine "guess along" with the mystery, and I really liked that you (pretty seamlessly) worked educational demonstrations in. I think I'll actually remember the things you talked about since now I can link them to the story in the episode. Love it!
I don't have a medical background or anything, but I've always been interested in science and anatomy. I came across your channel (because I wanted to learn more for fun), and I continue watching because you have one of the most down to earth and educational channels on youtube! Amazing content :) Thank you for sharing your time and knowledge with the rest of us!
Dr Hope's Sick Notes At age 34, with no rational explanation (drug use, obesity, age etc), I had 2 brutal strokes, lost use of my L arm from mid upper arm down, lost the ease of finding the right words I wanted to use, difficulty copying a simple number sequence from a chalkboard to my cell phone, etc. It took 8 months to get back as much as I would, ended my social work career, required the neurologist to medically revoked my drivers license, & (perhaps unrelated) was when I began having absent seizures & the first symptoms of what would be determined as severe fibromyalgia (which I was taught in psych was a diagnosis of exclusion & caused me to question not only the rheumatologist who diagnosed me but my own sanity as well) I was a medical anomaly, & would give anything to have my life back......but if the Drs I dealt with had explained the things as thoroughly as you are, things would have been so much easier! What a great channel, & awesome Dr!! Thank you!!!😊
I loved this way of explaining the episode because with House a lot of their episodes just seem like "woman 28 comes in with chest pains and numbness in her hand and blurred vision" and House somehow comes up with "oh she was a brain tumor and she's diabetic but never knew she had diabetes until we told her" like the cases dont make a lot of sense so breaking them down in a medical way makes more sense to me. I also enjoy your reaction videos too.
A lot of the weird and rare cases on House were taken from real life cases... The issue is, House gets a lot of the weird and rare cases, when in reality a doctor might only see one of these rare cases in their entire time practicing, or may never see one.
All I was saying is I enjoy his way of breaking down the show because a lot of times House's cases seem very difficult or hard to understand and I get that's because his cases ARE rare and he IS supposed to be portrayed and seen as a genius..... I'm just saying I enjoy Dr Hope's way of explaining things so us who may or may not know anything medical can still understand what's going on.
MasterMech77 correct me if im wrong but at one episode i wanna say cuddy as i am not sure who the character was said that house is the best diagnostician in the country
I am an EMT and really enjoy your channel. My kids hate when I break down the medical shows we have watched over the years 😂, so it's fun to watch you do it as well.
My dad did a lot of interrogations and has ruined cop shows for me. He’s not a cop but because of his job in the armed car business he has worked with cops and occasionally the FBI and has proper training from them.
I would love being ur kid I have a brain tumor seizures and so much more and ever since I was 4 I’m 27 now the seizures came a few years ago due to tumor resection when I was 11 that put me in 6 weeks in childrens institute I couldn’t even put two words together to make a sentence like I was trying to read the movie version of Aladdin book and couldn’t even get past the first sentence. But anyway because of that going to the doctors so much all my life when even I was young I loved medical shows medical documentaries like on discovery health channel shows like this greys all those types of doctor shows real and soaps 🧼
I hate the contrast! I have had it several times, and every time I think- “it’s going to feel like you’re peeing- calm down” and EVERY TIME I get there and I think “nope. This is it. I’ve actually done it this time. I’ve peed in my pants.”
+Tori: That's so trippy! I never could have guessed contrast dye around the bladder could cause a remote sensation like that. BTW, I _like_ the contrast in your hair coloring. 😉
For me, it felt like I had some thick sludge running up my arm. I didn't really ahve any of the other side effects, apart from feeling the goop travellign up my veins, or maybe that was just some latent burning sensation. Still felt it weird that they stuffed it in my arm to take pictures of my leg. I also HAD to ask the nurse if I was going to have a funny color to my piss. Answer was no.
Dear Doctor Hope, Now that i've seen it i can't unsee it, would you mind dotting the 'i' on that neon sign, right now it just looks like it says 'suck' behind your head.
@Chris Z Mate....there's no need to be so rude and condescending. People interpret things in different ways. It may not look at all like "Sucknotes" to you, but obviously it does to several other people. Half the letters aren't even written in "correct" cursive. Additionally, you dot your i's whether you're writing in cursive, print, or a mix of the two. Not having that dot means it's even easier to misinterpret the letter.
I think she looks younger than her age, even. It's just the very severe hair cut and her clothes. Put her in sweatpants and dress her up like a college kid and you'd buy that as well.
I wish there were shows about my line of work (forensic autopsy). I like watching you break down these shows. Great information plus entertaining. Good for medical and non-medical people alike. 👍🏽
This may seem like the opposite of a compliment but whenever I can't sleep I put on one of your videos and it works wonders! Your voice is just so calming.
Don't know if I suggested this, but there is and educational anime called "Cells at Work" you should check out. It basically personifies the different cells in the body and the types of germs that attack it. A quick description of the first five episodes (in case you want to see a different subject other than the first episode, which I still recommend) is: 1. Small germ infection (specifically Pneumococcus) 2. A Scrape wound 3. Type B Influenza 4. Food Poisoning 5. Allergic Reaction to pollen (My Favorite as I have horrid allergies) The way they personify the cells if pretty interesting and I want this show to get more attention
I particularly enjoyed this episode for how much I learned from it compared to reviewing the episode! You should continue this! Perhaps with Dr.Lizzie. much love ❤️
Love the way you explain individually what's wrong with each of these scenes in good detail, unlike other channels. Keep up the awesome and informative videos!
I think looking at these house m.d. cases can even help you at work a little bit because you learn more about rare diseases and maybe one time you‘ll be able to diagnose one of those by remembering some of the symptoms of the tv show and you might even save someones life 😁 There‘s even a real case, where a doctor saw a episode of house m.d. (to be specific he saw season 7 episode 11) and some weeks later he got a patient who had the same symptoms as cuddys mother in this episode and he actually diagnosed a cobalt-intoxication because his patient also had a hip-prothesis in the past 😅 But yeah the odds that you encounter someone with the same disease and that you even remember it are really low
I find it interesting that he'd not heard of ipecac. Must not have been used commonly in the UK. I remember we had a bottle in the bathroom growing up just in case.
As an applying medical student and aspiring doctor, I love these videos. They really help me fall "back in love" with my will to study medicine in the future when the application process makes me feel down! You're an inspiration Dr Hope!
I think these types of episodes where you analyze a TV-show, whether it is analyzing the show, or doing your own medical assessment, are amazing! One fun idea could be to bring one or two of your colleagues for a "diagnostic" episode, where you together, bouncing ideas try to solve a case, just like you did today. Thanks for entertaining media!
“It’ll fry it”. Actually, it won’t. X-rays (at least at the exposure you get in X-ray machines) don’t really affect electronics much. After all, airport scanners use X-rays as well. It’s worse for the patient than for her phone!
MRI is magnetics not x-ray, it will cook that phone because the mag field will induce electrical charges in the circuits and destroy it to the point of exploding.
Got my first cardio ultrasound the other day. I was so awe struck and fascinated with the images. To see my valves in real time pumping, I could watch it all day.
Hello there, _Doc H._ ! i'm an OR nurse (israeli) and i must say: you are a very good teacher. i can assist in any surgery (and understand the causes/reasoning/consequences), but it is truly _Fantastic_ to hear you explain it so vividly, connecting it to real patients. it's been a while for me (too technical at times), but you reconnected me to my days in the internal ward 🧐 *Thank* you for that! health, joy & love 🌼 ily~
I like this format and would like to see you do more videos like this. It's really cool to see you work out the problem and explain your thoughts in more detail than the show does. They kind of breeze through things due to time constraints so sometimes when someone throws out a random idea ("Oh, it's clearly lupus!") it's nice to hear more about what makes them think that. Your crash course on how the heart works was fascinating, BTW, so thank you for doing that.
I don't understand this rivalry. You produce good content and there's no shortage of humans watching UA-cam videos. It's not a zero-sum game. You seem so nice and cheerful that it's sad that this has become such a sticking point. The guy might be an asshole (don't know or care), but you can certainly just let it go. Edit: I never comment on UA-cam videos, but I really like your stuff and hope this doesn't keep becoming a recurring thing!
i need every episode of house broken down like this. i'm so far from being a medical student (currently pursuing a major in illustration and a minor in ecology) but your videos are endlessly entertaining and so fascinating! medicine has always been a field of interest to me so having this so easily-consumable source of medical knowledge is amazing. much love!!
7:52 AHHHHH! YES! I was thinking that when I looked at them! That it looked like someone who hadn't finished growing because of the visible growth plates. 23:45 OMG YES! The wetting myself sensation! I felt that after two chest CTS and an IVU - all three times it was the WEIRDEST thing. Thankfully they warned me about it on the first one, the IVU, but good lord it is WEIRD that sensation.
I know it's not really a medical show but it would be interesting to see him react to an episode of Bones to see how accurate their examinations of their murder victims are.
This guy is great. Shares the joys and mysteries of medicine with in a wonderful, non-condescending manner. Makes it accessible to me as a lay person. This guy loves his work. Impressive attitude. Bravo.
Nice approach! If you want a fair competition, I suggest you watch House 2.10 - House is not at the hospital and has to come up with a remote diagnosis. That's probably as fair as it gets... unless you remember the diagnosis, of course...
That actress probably is in her 40's, that woul be my estimate also. It is quite common that the ages don't match to the story. I mean come on, teenagers are at worst portrayed by guys in their thirties. :D
I appreciate that you give the story the benefit of the doubt and suspend your disbelief, all while giving good facts and staying grounded in reality. Great job!
Damn I did enjoyed this so much... I love how you explain all the stuff... For the people that don't know or don't work in hospital... It's really a new insight a new way to watch the series... I had goosebumps every time you explain and try to find your way trough... You sure did earn a new subscriber :-)
Hi Dr. Hope! I’m really enjoying your video. I’m a MICU (Medical ICU) nurse. 1. While a lower extremity clot won’t go to the brain; there is a high risk for PE if the clot breaks off - which can cause respiratory distress, chest pain and death if not promptly treated. We would (along with a history and physical exam) also ultra sound the leg right away; we’d also do blood tests - particularly a D-dimer. 2. While cardiogenic pulmonary edema is a possible cause in the imaging scene, another possible cause is non-cardiogenic, possibly from an inflammatory process, which could include either pathogenic or toxic (chemical/medicine) sources. I didn’t guess the actual cause either, but really enjoyed your video! Best, Eric
Dr. Hope, I would review an episode from “The Good Doctor” season 1 episode 3 titled “Oliver.” In it they are transporting a liver and have to pull over on the interstate in a police car and remove a clot from the liver (all while traffic is stopped behind them and they have the liver on the trunk of the car) they are also struggling when the cooler they are bringing it in breaks and they are forced to fill it up with blueberry slushee to lower the temperature!
This was absolutely AMAZING. Getting to see your mind work out what it could be, and hearing you explaining the process you would be going through if it were your patient, is SO interesting and entertaining, and I hope you do a lot more of these!
I found you because of your covid19 videos, they are a calm informative place in this terrible storm. This was the first of your other videos I watched and it was fantastic l love learning the way you teach. You will have a sub here long after covid19, thank you and take care of yourself doc.
I remember Ipecac from when I was a kid. Never had to take it myself, but I remember when youtube first came out there was this early viral video of this prank where these guys were on this street marketing it like a new kind of soft drink and then filming peoples reactions. Ipecac doesn't just induce vomiting, it like projectile vomiting. REALLY hard, like so hard it hurts. Your body really does not like whatever it is made out of, and wants it gone post-haste. Not really sure that was legal come to think of it......
Dear Dr. Hope, there is something I always wanted to know about the series: Is it really possible to practice medicine like House does under the effect of Vicodin? Isn't mind-numbing? What are the effects of vicodin? For example, there is an episode where Foreman and Taub take vicodin for fun and they both seem numb not only in a pleasant way but in a cognitive manner. So, If I take vicodin under a lot of pain, I should feel like I used to or high as in morphine? Please, I always wanted to know.
Vicodin is an opiate (like morphine for example) that binds to opioid receptors (special proteins in the brain, spinal cord and GI tract) with the aim of blocking pain. Opiates are very effective at this. But they come with a well known downside (other than addiction and possible worsening of pain) of tolerance. Patients develop opioid tolerance when their receptors become desensitized to the drugs. This means that every subsequent dose will need to be higher than the previous to achieve the same level of pain relief. It's likely that Dr House is at that level of desensitization (hence why he pops vicodin like tic tacs) that he doesn't experience the side effects to such a serious degree (like taub). But the "high" could explain his detached nature and cowboy attitude to patient management as well.
Yeah, that I know. It's imply in the series that the fact that he is on Vicodin makes him dissociative from everyday emotions. When he has to see Cuddy when she was ill he is unable to go until he takes the Vicodin. I always figured that when he is on Vicodin he does not feel the physical tool of emotions, either. However, it was always a doubt that I have when it comes to the cognition part. Especially, since I know patients that take Vicodin and are very em... slow.
Alright I'm going to do my best to explain here. I definitely have insight because I'm a (recovering) opiate addict. I should start by saying that the effects are different for everyone. For me, I became addicted because I'm a naturally anxious person and opiates give you a warm feeling alongside dampening down thought processes. Yes it numbs, but for me, it feels like it brings me back to normal and allows me to function. I imagine that House has a similar reaction to me, hence why he takes the vicodin. The most important point to note however is that most people react differently to different drugs due to genetic and social factors and that's what determines how, when and why they become addicted. As a personal example I can function on doses of opiates that would be highly unpleasant and dangerous to other people but I absolutely abhore the effects of alcohol (and consequently do not drink).
Well, that's a nice reply. Hope you are being honest and, more importantly, fine. It's quite interesting what you are saying about bringing you "back to normal". And yes, I know that drugs react differently according to the person. I have a lot of questions, although. Would you care to answer them privately? I am very curious about the addict-psyche.
Pretty sure episodes set prior to his addiction and when he is off it show that he has ALWAYS been detached and a bit of a cowboy. At best the Vicodin might have exacerbated it, but generally speaking this is just who he is. A combination of his natural personality plus growing up in an abusive household is the real culprit here.
I love the way you explain everything and make it sound so simple! For quite some time I've wanted to study medicine, and when I found your channel, even if it's a little, I've come to understand and learn about medical terms even before I start! And the way you explain it... maybe it's just my imagination, but you explain things with such passion! You're THE best! Lots of love 💙💚
how do you only have 53k subscribers? you're channel is amazing! you deserve more for sure! thank you for this, I always feel like I'm learning something when I watch your channel, ..but it's like learning from a friends rather than a professor. I loved this one!
Hey doc, love your videos. My father is in his last few days with frontal and temporal lobe demensia ALS. I was wondering if you could help give me an idea of what all that means and maybe help educate someone else going through a horrible experience like this. Thank you very much.
I'm so sorry to hear about your father and his health issues right now. Not at all to try to use your comment as a springboard, but that might be a really good section that Dr Hope could create. Starting with ALS: what to expect from a diagnosis. Wishing you and your family all the love and support in the world x
Charlotte Roberts thank you so much. We lost him last night. His lungs kept filling with fluid and he couldn’t cough it out. They kept him comfortable until he took his last breath. I would love for Doc to make a video about it. It took us over a year to find a diagnosis for my father, taking him to over ten doctors multiple times. Then we finally got a diagnosis and he’s gone the next day. It still doesn’t feel real.
@@THEMCkown My sincerest condolences to you and your family. If you need to, please talk to someone that you can trust, otherwise have a talk to your local doctor.
They were pretty likely based on lists of strange rare diseases. These lists are based on actual cases. So indirectly, yes they are based at least on large numbers of real cases. There are likely specific episodes based on sanitized cases from medical journals. Oddly enough there is a real life case that is based on an episode of house. More correctly, one of the doctors in it drew inspiration in his diagnosis and treatment from a 7th season episode of house where a patient was having a litany of symptoms and being very refractive to treatment. The diagnosis ended up being heavy metal poisoning from cobalt in her hip replacement.
Loved you playing along and trying to guess as a real doctor. Kinda points out how crazy their cases are sometimes and how their investigations intentionally don't rule out things properly in the order you would in real life. Keep it up! Love the vids.
These videos are always so worth the wait ;-; Love them!! (But just as an afterthought - you have a lot of different people from a lot of different backgrounds watching these videos. Would it be possible to put up a trigger disclaimer warning before showing fresh self-harm cuts in the videos? I don't do it, but I know a lot of people who would have been very triggered by this).
I prefer how you react to these tv shows. Other doctors that do the same sort of video end up just saying how stupid everything is and "it wouldn't work like that". I like that you explain what's actually correct but then take info in the episode that's horribly wrong and say "well it is just a tv show, lets take it for what it is." Good man. Look forward to more.
I had a recent surgery. For every single person who I saw- except for the doctor who knows me- identified me by my birthday- and asked me to share what they were doing. 3 people, including my surgeon- marked the left eye.
House MD was produced by my classmate in HS. The running joke was that some businesses were claiming they were in Princeton when they were actually located in Plainsboro. The real hospital was in Princeton near the University. Years later there is now a real Princeton/Plainsboro Hospital main campus in Plainsboro. Because of this show? I'm not sure, but when I get homesick, I watch reruns of house though the interior shots were mostly filmed here in California. I had wished it was produced earlier as it would have been interesting conversation with the Dr's and Nurses I worked with in the Navy Fleet Hospital years ago.
I like everything except your extensive look at the blackboard. I think you could have made your point in about 4 fewer minutes at the board. My mind was wandering after the first couple minutes.
Dr Hope's Sick Notes I do want to reiterate that I really enjoy your videos, and I like the medical examination from front to end! I've always wondered how close to reality the writing got on House...
This was a fun episode, just having you breakdown the thought processes and theories behind the health factors and diagnostic process is a really neat way of teaching!
I Think you should consider putting a trigger warning before showing the image of the cutting/cuts so it doesn’t cause anyone discomfort or perhaps to relapse. Loved the episode! But maybe something to consider😃
You know, I've been watching a series of a "Serial Horror Story" else where on UA-cam, and there are constantly comments by people who don't realize it is not real or are nonetheless disturbed by it. (Or often both). I wonder if UA-cam wouldn't be better off imposing some kind of rating system on videos, like with movies and video games; G, PG, PG-16, R , M for mature, etc.
The Noisy Spectator It is not so much if it is real or not. It is rather the fact that is cuts from self-harm that makes it triggering so a heads-up would be nice. I don’t think the rating system would work on youtube but that’s another topic. However thank you for such an understanding answer
Cupcake I assume by "triggering" you mean offensive to people. No, I know what you mean, and I agree. I would like to see a specific warning lable against watching it when trying to eat.
The Noisy Spectator I meant triggering in the way that it could make people, who used to cut, relapse or cause them discomfort but yours is a good reason as well
This was great Doc, very informative with a feel for mystery as if trying to get to the answer before the master himself. More House! I'll tune in every time.
When I had surgery on my left knee, I was paranoid they were going to do the wrong knee. Doctor used marker to mark it, which made me feel better. When I woke up from anesthesia, idr if I asked or someone brought it up, but someone said "they did the right knee." I remember freaking out and saying "no no the left knee!" and struggling to sit up to check. Not the best choice of words lol.
My dad had to have his varicose veins removed from his right leg. Just before they put the mask on him to administer the anesthetic, literally as they were moving it towards his face, one said to him "It IS the left leg, isn't it?" Immediately told them it wasn't and suffice to say was rather angry at the prospect of what could have happened if they hadn't thought to check!
I remember the "just wet yourself' sensation - they warn you it's going to happen but it still feels SO WEIRD. More so, I think, because if you've ever had a problem getting to a washroom in time you know that you're doing everything in your power to hold it in, so there's that feeling of clenching, of holding it in as much as possible - but in this case you're completely relaxed and it just makes that sensation of sudden, spreading warmth SO much weirder, like your brain is trying to figure out "wait... why did we just LET that happen and why are we just lying here like this is all okay?"
It's important to consider that the patients House treats have, in many cases, already been seen by other doctors between the opening stinger and House taking the case. This allows them to skip what would likely be a very dull patient history, as presumably they have already given this to a doctor.
Yes we must remember that Dr House gets all the weird cases that have already been examined by some other doctor and that doctor is mystified and stumped
A side note; Dr. Hope's skeleton is named Nina and the actress/patient (Sarah Clarke) in that 'House' episode played Nina Meyers in two seasons of '24'.
It's also worth mentioning @6:53 that an X-ray tube or a CT scan will have literally no affect on your phone. If a tech tries to tell you something like this, they're just lying to get you to pay attention to instructions.
Great video. I've seen a fair few of these things lately (medical, lawyers, airline pilots, you name the profession, they're on youtube), and yours stands out simply because you stop and really examine things, then explain everything. Why am I here? I write speculative fiction, and it's great when I can get into a real professional's headspace (the hard information can be gained through researching cases, of course). Data isn't everything, and it's great to get a competent professional's side of things-the human element.
It's funny how in almost all of these shows house/Holmes almost kills the patient but he justifies every course of action as he goes along and then just when all seems lost someone will say something or do something nothing to do with the case but house will make a linkage that is somehow never really explained that leads to the cure very conveniently in time with end of the episode. Great show though.
Actual doctors reacting to House is one of the best things that's happened on UA-cam this year. It's brilliant.
I mean, considering videos that kicked the year off, it's not like there's much competetition.
Doctor Mike to me is personally more interesting in his doctor reaction videos, but I'm growing to like Dr Hope also, the whole processional reacts genre is very entertaining as a whole.
Your profile picture says it all
'Real homeless man reacting to poor people in movies"
"Real woman reacting to females in media"
"Real child with a lemonade stand reacts to lemonade stands in tv shows"
Next you should do House reacting to an actual Doctor reacting to House.
6:20 I just wanted to point out, you have to remember that in the show, the premise is that it's _usually_ accepted as a given that by the time a patient gets to House, they've already had a full history and examination by other doctors. As a rule of thumb, House gets the cases that stump other doctors, the show just skips over the stumping part. When he _does_ do the "back to basics" stuff, it's because he now has to assume that something was missed by those initial doctors. Unfortunately, the show also tends to skip giving the duration between the time the patient first experienced problems and the time House took the case.
That's a good point, but if doctors may have missed something on a diagnostic test, it's even more likely they missed something in the interview. I've got a complicated chronic condition, and a shallow interview is a reliable indicator of a bad doctor.
Didn't know this
Matthew Swenson ~ Right, but as acerbic as House is, as much as he thinks everyone else are idiots, he assumes that other doctors are actually competent at their jobs. If he assumed he had to start at square one with every new patient, it could cost him valuable time in diagnosing the real problem.
Not to mention House dislikes interacting with patients. Bad trait for a doctor, but it's well-established.
This is one of the parts I always think people forget about House, if your his patient, like 6 times out of 10 it's because other Doctors have tried and failed to help you, and another 3 times it's because his Team or Cuddy found something they can't figure out.
Which explains why it's said rich people are wiling to pay so much for House, thus the Hospital keeping him despite his attitude and why his cases are always so weird.
"Young lady, early forties.." early forties-young person, says a doctor. I feel good today.
From a medical standpoint, that is young. There are illnesses that affect only sertain age-groups and illnesses that are more likely in sertain age-groups. Looking at it that way, forties is young.
@@jessicabrack2846 Thank you!
@SorcererOne And thank you!
I appreciated that too, at 33: gives me hope for at least another decade 😁
Most doctors see old people with all their age related issues. Only certain specialties regularly see younger people.
I prefer this format. Everybody loves a good puzzle.

Poor woman. She looks like she is 40 something, she is actually 32, but she has the skeletal build of a 16 year old.. =D
Just checked it. The actress was likely also 32 years old during filming. Maybe 33.
I don't think she looks 40 something. That age was probably inferred due to her high status job position.
Harsh lighting.
Thread Bomb you're right, but I think it was done on purpose, to make her look like someone who has something wrong with their body
I would have said mid 30s.
I think what many people miss about House is that he is a last resort for the patients. Usually it is implied at some point that the patient had undergone already treatment and test and everything but nobody can fix it or even find out what's wrong with them...and that's when they go to House. And that's way he is shooting with the hard stuff - all the basic test are already made and they are inconclusive as long as all sorts of treatment. But with every episode that is a bit lost and you just have to keep it in your mind
It's both a negative and a positive when you think about it from a production point of view. A lot of the stuff about how House's patients come to him and how long it can often take are established in the early episodes. For example, the patient in Ep1 he doesn't take until Wilson lies and tells him that it's his cousin, but even that patient had been going from doctor to doctor for a month. In Ep2, the patient is plagued by undiagnosed night terrors and Cameron agrees to take the patient for House, and the fact that the teen is having night terrors is what intrigues him. There are a few cases here or there that are plucked out of the ER or that are specially referred directly to him, but we can safely assume 90% of House's cases probably have sought out every last option until they turned to a very expensive and very extreme option in House.
Where it's a negative is that all of this is established in the first season / few episodes and the show lasted 8 years. So midway through Season 4 you might be thinking "Wait, why didn't they do this routine stuff first?" having forgotten what has been established. Also the show's editing doesn't help in that it seems to indicate that Scene A (Patient nearly dying) leads directly to Scene B (House's staff briefing him on the case). In reality, there could be Scenes B, C, D, E, F, G in there which show the patient has been through this a thousand times and that Scene A didn't directly lead to that person being in House's care, but that's also a lot of extra film time which would eat up time dedicated to the main part of the show. So give and take.
Not always the case. There are a lot of moments in the show where the doctors are criticizing House's brash jumps to conclusions, implying that they haven't eliminated the likeliest diagnoses yet.
This was honestly great. It's fun listening to someone who knows medicine "guess along" with the mystery, and I really liked that you (pretty seamlessly) worked educational demonstrations in. I think I'll actually remember the things you talked about since now I can link them to the story in the episode. Love it!
I don't have a medical background or anything, but I've always been interested in science and anatomy. I came across your channel (because I wanted to learn more for fun), and I continue watching because you have one of the most down to earth and educational channels on youtube! Amazing content :) Thank you for sharing your time and knowledge with the rest of us!
Appreciate this comment, this is exactly what I'm going for. Great to have you onboard!
Dr Hope's Sick Notes At age 34, with no rational explanation (drug use, obesity, age etc), I had 2 brutal strokes, lost use of my L arm from mid upper arm down, lost the ease of finding the right words I wanted to use, difficulty copying a simple number sequence from a chalkboard to my cell phone, etc. It took 8 months to get back as much as I would, ended my social work career, required the neurologist to medically revoked my drivers license, & (perhaps unrelated) was when I began having absent seizures & the first symptoms of what would be determined as severe fibromyalgia (which I was taught in psych was a diagnosis of exclusion & caused me to question not only the rheumatologist who diagnosed me but my own sanity as well) I was a medical anomaly, & would give anything to have my life back......but if the Drs I dealt with had explained the things as thoroughly as you are, things would have been so much easier! What a great channel, & awesome Dr!! Thank you!!!😊
I love that you describe early 40s as 'young'.
I loved this way of explaining the episode because with House a lot of their episodes just seem like "woman 28 comes in with chest pains and numbness in her hand and blurred vision" and House somehow comes up with "oh she was a brain tumor and she's diabetic but never knew she had diabetes until we told her" like the cases dont make a lot of sense so breaking them down in a medical way makes more sense to me. I also enjoy your reaction videos too.
A lot of the weird and rare cases on House were taken from real life cases... The issue is, House gets a lot of the weird and rare cases, when in reality a doctor might only see one of these rare cases in their entire time practicing, or may never see one.
The explanation is that House is only supposed to get causes other doctors can't handle, plus cases he selects.
All I was saying is I enjoy his way of breaking down the show because a lot of times House's cases seem very difficult or hard to understand and I get that's because his cases ARE rare and he IS supposed to be portrayed and seen as a genius..... I'm just saying I enjoy Dr Hope's way of explaining things so us who may or may not know anything medical can still understand what's going on.
Of course he gets those weird cases. His whole team exists solely because nobody in the damn country knows what's up with them.
MasterMech77 correct me if im wrong but at one episode i wanna say cuddy as i am not sure who the character was said that house is the best diagnostician in the country
I am an EMT and really enjoy your channel. My kids hate when I break down the medical shows we have watched over the years 😂, so it's fun to watch you do it as well.
Heather Is Surviving5Kids WHAT?? I’d have BEGGED for someone to do that watching a medical show with me! Lol
Your kids are ungrateful 😂
My dad did a lot of interrogations and has ruined cop shows for me. He’s not a cop but because of his job in the armed car business he has worked with cops and occasionally the FBI and has proper training from them.
you should listen to your kids
I would love being ur kid I have a brain tumor seizures and so much more and ever since I was 4 I’m 27 now the seizures came a few years ago due to tumor resection when I was 11 that put me in 6 weeks in childrens institute I couldn’t even put two words together to make a sentence like I was trying to read the movie version of Aladdin book and couldn’t even get past the first sentence. But anyway because of that going to the doctors so much all my life when even I was young I loved medical shows medical documentaries like on discovery health channel shows like this greys all those types of doctor shows real and soaps 🧼
I hate the contrast! I have had it several times, and every time I think- “it’s going to feel like you’re peeing- calm down” and EVERY TIME I get there and I think “nope. This is it. I’ve actually done it this time. I’ve peed in my pants.”
Saaameeee!!!
+Tori: That's so trippy! I never could have guessed contrast dye around the bladder could cause a remote sensation like that.
BTW, I _like_ the contrast in your hair coloring. 😉
It also gives you a metallic taste in your mouth
For me, it felt like I had some thick sludge running up my arm. I didn't really ahve any of the other side effects, apart from feeling the goop travellign up my veins, or maybe that was just some latent burning sensation. Still felt it weird that they stuffed it in my arm to take pictures of my leg. I also HAD to ask the nurse if I was going to have a funny color to my piss. Answer was no.
I didn't really have a problem. But it was a few years ago so I don't fully remember
Dear Doctor Hope,
Now that i've seen it i can't unsee it, would you mind dotting the 'i' on that neon sign, right now it just looks like it says 'suck' behind your head.
Haha. I'm working on it!
(you could get one those bicycle reflectors)
@Chris Z Mate....there's no need to be so rude and condescending. People interpret things in different ways. It may not look at all like "Sucknotes" to you, but obviously it does to several other people. Half the letters aren't even written in "correct" cursive. Additionally, you dot your i's whether you're writing in cursive, print, or a mix of the two. Not having that dot means it's even easier to misinterpret the letter.
No. No it doesn't.
@@tikayle9130 You probably think it looks like the red, octagonal SUCK signs at the corner of some blocks.
It's so funny to hear you say "Nina", since the actress playing the patient is best known for playing Nina Meyers on 24.
I was just about to comment this
I'm glad she's in pain, dammit!
That bitch!!
How do you think he got the skeleton? ;P
I think she looks younger than her age, even. It's just the very severe hair cut and her clothes. Put her in sweatpants and dress her up like a college kid and you'd buy that as well.
This just shows how much effort has been put into making the House series authentic apart from being super interesting
I wish there were shows about my line of work (forensic autopsy). I like watching you break down these shows. Great information plus entertaining. Good for medical and non-medical people alike. 👍🏽
Jane Doe I would watch that. Maybe you could produce the videos on your channel.
arescue I’m not even sure where I would start though!
What about the TV show Bones?
OH or the HBO show "America Undercover" Autopsy
MasterMech77 Bones is more forensic anthropology
This may seem like the opposite of a compliment but whenever I can't sleep I put on one of your videos and it works wonders! Your voice is just so calming.
More like this please. Very entertaining and we learn stuff too.
Don't know if I suggested this, but there is and educational anime called "Cells at Work" you should check out. It basically personifies the different cells in the body and the types of germs that attack it.
A quick description of the first five episodes (in case you want to see a different subject other than the first episode, which I still recommend) is:
1. Small germ infection (specifically Pneumococcus)
2. A Scrape wound
3. Type B Influenza
4. Food Poisoning
5. Allergic Reaction to pollen (My Favorite as I have horrid allergies)
The way they personify the cells if pretty interesting and I want this show to get more attention
TheMonking406 - great that one week later he watched ep 1. First clip I watched of his, loved his review.
I particularly enjoyed this episode for how much I learned from it compared to reviewing the episode! You should continue this! Perhaps with Dr.Lizzie. much love ❤️
Love the way you explain individually what's wrong with each of these scenes in good detail, unlike other channels. Keep up the awesome and informative videos!
I think looking at these house m.d. cases can even help you at work a little bit because you learn more about rare diseases and maybe one time you‘ll be able to diagnose one of those by remembering some of the symptoms of the tv show and you might even save someones life 😁 There‘s even a real case, where a doctor saw a episode of house m.d. (to be specific he saw season 7 episode 11) and some weeks later he got a patient who had the same symptoms as cuddys mother in this episode and he actually diagnosed a cobalt-intoxication because his patient also had a hip-prothesis in the past 😅 But yeah the odds that you encounter someone with the same disease and that you even remember it are really low
I should have mentioned this in the video, because after watching this I won't forget the connection between Ipecac and muscle problems again!
Dr Hope's Sick Notes That‘s cool! Have a nice day 😁
I find it interesting that he'd not heard of ipecac. Must not have been used commonly in the UK. I remember we had a bottle in the bathroom growing up just in case.
I believe it hasn't available OTC in the UK for quite some time. It became unavailable in the US a couple years after this episode had aired.
@@TheFranchiseCA interesting! Thanks for the update!
@@TheFranchiseCA
That's not true. You can still get ipecac at many pharmacies. I have a bottle in my bathroom cabinet
YEAHHHH!!! MORE HOUSE MD VIDEOSSS!!!!
I like how you describe the heart as something beautiful. That made me smile.
As an applying medical student and aspiring doctor, I love these videos. They really help me fall "back in love" with my will to study medicine in the future when the application process makes me feel down! You're an inspiration Dr Hope!
21:35 After seeing the cuts I remember the patient refused a physical examination, she didn't want them to see the cuts on her legs
I think these types of episodes where you analyze a TV-show, whether it is analyzing the show, or doing your own medical assessment, are amazing! One fun idea could be to bring one or two of your colleagues for a "diagnostic" episode, where you together, bouncing ideas try to solve a case, just like you did today. Thanks for entertaining media!
“It’ll fry it”. Actually, it won’t. X-rays (at least at the exposure you get in X-ray machines) don’t really affect electronics much. After all, airport scanners use X-rays as well. It’s worse for the patient than for her phone!
Foreman might have been wrong or he might have said it just to get her to put the phone down.
MRI is magnetics not x-ray, it will cook that phone because the mag field will induce electrical charges in the circuits and destroy it to the point of exploding.
Got my first cardio ultrasound the other day. I was so awe struck and fascinated with the images. To see my valves in real time pumping, I could watch it all day.
Pretty cool. Hope you're doing well
AMAZING VIDEO!! SUPER EDUCATIVE!! (for me at least)
Thank you! Try my best
Hello there, _Doc H._ !
i'm an OR nurse (israeli) and i must say:
you are a very good teacher.
i can assist in any surgery (and understand the causes/reasoning/consequences),
but it is truly _Fantastic_ to hear you explain it so vividly, connecting it to real patients.
it's been a while for me (too technical at times), but you reconnected me
to my days in the internal ward 🧐
*Thank* you for that!
health, joy & love 🌼
ily~
I sprained my left shoulder last May, and the X-ray tech positioned me for imaging the right shoulder. Fortunately I had the wherewithal to speak up.
I like this format and would like to see you do more videos like this. It's really cool to see you work out the problem and explain your thoughts in more detail than the show does. They kind of breeze through things due to time constraints so sometimes when someone throws out a random idea ("Oh, it's clearly lupus!") it's nice to hear more about what makes them think that. Your crash course on how the heart works was fascinating, BTW, so thank you for doing that.
ten bucks Dr mike reviews this episode in a month or so ;)
G-Man Bond 007 oh hell ye more house
ikr, he steals all dr hope's ideas
Cash or ...? 🤷🏻♀️
Hehe I think he's my number 1 fan
I don't understand this rivalry. You produce good content and there's no shortage of humans watching UA-cam videos. It's not a zero-sum game. You seem so nice and cheerful that it's sad that this has become such a sticking point. The guy might be an asshole (don't know or care), but you can certainly just let it go.
Edit: I never comment on UA-cam videos, but I really like your stuff and hope this doesn't keep becoming a recurring thing!
YOU SHOULD DO MORE OF THESE!! I'm in nursing school rn and watching your thought process is really helpful and informative!
i need every episode of house broken down like this. i'm so far from being a medical student (currently pursuing a major in illustration and a minor in ecology) but your videos are endlessly entertaining and so fascinating! medicine has always been a field of interest to me so having this so easily-consumable source of medical knowledge is amazing. much love!!
7:52 AHHHHH! YES! I was thinking that when I looked at them! That it looked like someone who hadn't finished growing because of the visible growth plates.
23:45 OMG YES! The wetting myself sensation! I felt that after two chest CTS and an IVU - all three times it was the WEIRDEST thing. Thankfully they warned me about it on the first one, the IVU, but good lord it is WEIRD that sensation.
dr hope: it could be an autoimmune disease
me: IT'S NEVER LUPUS
Except that one time it actually was.
I know it's not really a medical show but it would be interesting to see him react to an episode of Bones to see how accurate their examinations of their murder victims are.
This guy is great. Shares the joys and mysteries of medicine with in a wonderful, non-condescending manner. Makes it accessible to me as a lay person. This guy loves his work. Impressive attitude. Bravo.
Nice approach!
If you want a fair competition, I suggest you watch House 2.10 - House is not at the hospital and has to come up with a remote diagnosis. That's probably as fair as it gets... unless you remember the diagnosis, of course...
Love how Dr Hope explains these TV episodes
I really hope he does "Locked In" from Season 5.
OMG I love how educational your commentary is!
The reflection of the circular light in your eyes is really quite charming.
That actress probably is in her 40's, that woul be my estimate also. It is quite common that the ages don't match to the story. I mean come on, teenagers are at worst portrayed by guys in their thirties. :D
She is now the actress Sarah Clarke was norn in 1972
Yes, born in 1972, making her 32 (give or take) at time of filming.
I just imagined being a doctor monitoring machines after injecting the tracer and hearing “did I just piss myself?!”
I appreciate that you give the story the benefit of the doubt and suspend your disbelief, all while giving good facts and staying grounded in reality. Great job!
Thanks mate!
Anyone else thing that the circle in people's eye from Halo lights is creepy
Damn I did enjoyed this so much... I love how you explain all the stuff... For the people that don't know or don't work in hospital... It's really a new insight a new way to watch the series... I had goosebumps every time you explain and try to find your way trough...
You sure did earn a new subscriber :-)
“Bones” could maybe also be a good show for videos like this, maybe especially in the seasons Dr Saroyan is also part of the team👍🏻
I really like your style of reaction. Very informative as you go in depth on the details of a particular series.
Hi Dr. Hope! I’m really enjoying your video. I’m a MICU (Medical ICU) nurse.
1. While a lower extremity clot won’t go to the brain; there is a high risk for PE if the clot breaks off - which can cause respiratory distress, chest pain and death if not promptly treated. We would (along with a history and physical exam) also ultra sound the leg right away; we’d also do blood tests - particularly a D-dimer.
2. While cardiogenic pulmonary edema is a possible cause in the imaging scene, another possible cause is non-cardiogenic, possibly from an inflammatory process, which could include either pathogenic or toxic (chemical/medicine) sources.
I didn’t guess the actual cause either, but really enjoyed your video! Best, Eric
Dr. Hope, I would review an episode from “The Good Doctor” season 1 episode 3 titled “Oliver.” In it they are transporting a liver and have to pull over on the interstate in a police car and remove a clot from the liver (all while traffic is stopped behind them and they have the liver on the trunk of the car) they are also struggling when the cooler they are bringing it in breaks and they are forced to fill it up with blueberry slushee to lower the temperature!
This was absolutely AMAZING. Getting to see your mind work out what it could be, and hearing you explaining the process you would be going through if it were your patient, is SO interesting and entertaining, and I hope you do a lot more of these!
I found you because of your covid19 videos, they are a calm informative place in this terrible storm. This was the first of your other videos I watched and it was fantastic l love learning the way you teach. You will have a sub here long after covid19, thank you and take care of yourself doc.
I remember Ipecac from when I was a kid. Never had to take it myself, but I remember when youtube first came out there was this early viral video of this prank where these guys were on this street marketing it like a new kind of soft drink and then filming peoples reactions. Ipecac doesn't just induce vomiting, it like projectile vomiting. REALLY hard, like so hard it hurts. Your body really does not like whatever it is made out of, and wants it gone post-haste. Not really sure that was legal come to think of it......
Blimey! I should watch more YT I may have got the diagnosis :)
Giving someone a violent emetic as a 'prank' is definitely assault.
David Szaks i think it’s basically poison to the body.
Best explanation possible,please keep reacting.
We need more of these 🔥
Dear Dr. Hope, there is something I always wanted to know about the series: Is it really possible to practice medicine like House does under the effect of Vicodin? Isn't mind-numbing? What are the effects of vicodin? For example, there is an episode where Foreman and Taub take vicodin for fun and they both seem numb not only in a pleasant way but in a cognitive manner. So, If I take vicodin under a lot of pain, I should feel like I used to or high as in morphine? Please, I always wanted to know.
Vicodin is an opiate (like morphine for example) that binds to opioid receptors (special proteins in the brain, spinal cord and GI tract) with the aim of blocking pain.
Opiates are very effective at this. But they come with a well known downside (other than addiction and possible worsening of pain) of tolerance. Patients develop opioid tolerance when their receptors become desensitized to the drugs. This means that every subsequent dose will need to be higher than the previous to achieve the same level of pain relief.
It's likely that Dr House is at that level of desensitization (hence why he pops vicodin like tic tacs) that he doesn't experience the side effects to such a serious degree (like taub). But the "high" could explain his detached nature and cowboy attitude to patient management as well.
Yeah, that I know. It's imply in the series that the fact that he is on Vicodin makes him dissociative from everyday emotions. When he has to see Cuddy when she was ill he is unable to go until he takes the Vicodin. I always figured that when he is on Vicodin he does not feel the physical tool of emotions, either. However, it was always a doubt that I have when it comes to the cognition part. Especially, since I know patients that take Vicodin and are very em... slow.
Alright I'm going to do my best to explain here. I definitely have insight because I'm a (recovering) opiate addict.
I should start by saying that the effects are different for everyone. For me, I became addicted because I'm a naturally anxious person and opiates give you a warm feeling alongside dampening down thought processes. Yes it numbs, but for me, it feels like it brings me back to normal and allows me to function.
I imagine that House has a similar reaction to me, hence why he takes the vicodin. The most important point to note however is that most people react differently to different drugs due to genetic and social factors and that's what determines how, when and why they become addicted.
As a personal example I can function on doses of opiates that would be highly unpleasant and dangerous to other people but I absolutely abhore the effects of alcohol (and consequently do not drink).
Well, that's a nice reply. Hope you are being honest and, more importantly, fine. It's quite interesting what you are saying about bringing you "back to normal".
And yes, I know that drugs react differently according to the person. I have a lot of questions, although.
Would you care to answer them privately? I am very curious about the addict-psyche.
Pretty sure episodes set prior to his addiction and when he is off it show that he has ALWAYS been detached and a bit of a cowboy. At best the Vicodin might have exacerbated it, but generally speaking this is just who he is.
A combination of his natural personality plus growing up in an abusive household is the real culprit here.
I love the way you explain everything and make it sound so simple! For quite some time I've wanted to study medicine, and when I found your channel, even if it's a little, I've come to understand and learn about medical terms even before I start! And the way you explain it... maybe it's just my imagination, but you explain things with such passion! You're THE best! Lots of love 💙💚
how do you only have 53k subscribers? you're channel is amazing! you deserve more for sure! thank you for this, I always feel like I'm learning something when I watch your channel, ..but it's like learning from a friends rather than a professor. I loved this one!
Hey doc, love your videos. My father is in his last few days with frontal and temporal lobe demensia ALS. I was wondering if you could help give me an idea of what all that means and maybe help educate someone else going through a horrible experience like this. Thank you very much.
I'm so sorry to hear about your father and his health issues right now.
Not at all to try to use your comment as a springboard, but that might be a really good section that Dr Hope could create. Starting with ALS: what to expect from a diagnosis.
Wishing you and your family all the love and support in the world x
Charlotte Roberts thank you so much. We lost him last night. His lungs kept filling with fluid and he couldn’t cough it out. They kept him comfortable until he took his last breath. I would love for Doc to make a video about it. It took us over a year to find a diagnosis for my father, taking him to over ten doctors multiple times. Then we finally got a diagnosis and he’s gone the next day. It still doesn’t feel real.
Oh my darling I am so terribly sorry. My greatest condolences to you and your family.
Wishing you all strength at this time x
@@THEMCkown My sincerest condolences to you and your family. If you need to, please talk to someone that you can trust, otherwise have a talk to your local doctor.
So sorry for your loss
Great analysis! Would love to see you do more. Dr House is one of my favorite shows!
I heard all of Houses diagnoses were actual rare cases - not sure if this is actually true.
They were pretty likely based on lists of strange rare diseases. These lists are based on actual cases. So indirectly, yes they are based at least on large numbers of real cases. There are likely specific episodes based on sanitized cases from medical journals. Oddly enough there is a real life case that is based on an episode of house. More correctly, one of the doctors in it drew inspiration in his diagnosis and treatment from a 7th season episode of house where a patient was having a litany of symptoms and being very refractive to treatment.
The diagnosis ended up being heavy metal poisoning from cobalt in her hip replacement.
Loved you playing along and trying to guess as a real doctor. Kinda points out how crazy their cases are sometimes and how their investigations intentionally don't rule out things properly in the order you would in real life. Keep it up! Love the vids.
Is it Lupis?
“Young lady, early 40s” - As a 41 year old, this made me feel good today, thank you!
These videos are always so worth the wait ;-; Love them!!
(But just as an afterthought - you have a lot of different people from a lot of different backgrounds watching these videos. Would it be possible to put up a trigger disclaimer warning before showing fresh self-harm cuts in the videos? I don't do it, but I know a lot of people who would have been very triggered by this).
I hope you keep doing these videos. They are GREAT
I love the extra suspense/mystery in seeing you try to solve it, it's a great idea. I love your general reviews but these are really great too!
This is entirely beyond the point you're making, but nice Les Paul.
I know he's a wonderful doctor, but if he didn't want to be a doctor he'd be an OUTSTANDING teacher :O
Can you please review the Apple watch series 4, they claim it takes Electrocardiogram (ECG).
The ECG function doesen't work yet. It comes with an update in the future
Loving this format! Hope to see more of these videos from House!
I prefer how you react to these tv shows. Other doctors that do the same sort of video end up just saying how stupid everything is and "it wouldn't work like that". I like that you explain what's actually correct but then take info in the episode that's horribly wrong and say "well it is just a tv show, lets take it for what it is." Good man. Look forward to more.
Hey, wondering if you can check out an animated show called cells at work ?
OMG HE ACTUALLY SAW THIS COMMENT.
I had a recent surgery. For every single person who I saw- except for the doctor who knows me- identified me by my birthday- and asked me to share what they were doing. 3 people, including my surgeon- marked the left eye.
Every new video is better, than the last, keep it up! You are great
House MD was produced by my classmate in HS. The running joke was that some businesses were claiming they were in Princeton when they were actually located in Plainsboro. The real hospital was in Princeton near the University. Years later there is now a real Princeton/Plainsboro Hospital main campus in Plainsboro. Because of this show? I'm not sure, but when I get homesick, I watch reruns of house though the interior shots were mostly filmed here in California. I had wished it was produced earlier as it would have been interesting conversation with the Dr's and Nurses I worked with in the Navy Fleet Hospital years ago.
I like everything except your extensive look at the blackboard. I think you could have made your point in about 4 fewer minutes at the board. My mind was wandering after the first couple minutes.
I agree. Diagram was a bit messy and message not as clear as could have been. Will work on it. Thanks for the feedback.
Dr Hope's Sick Notes I do want to reiterate that I really enjoy your videos, and I like the medical examination from front to end! I've always wondered how close to reality the writing got on House...
This was a fun episode, just having you breakdown the thought processes and theories behind the health factors and diagnostic process is a really neat way of teaching!
I really like this format! Super cool insight into thought processes that go into diagnoses.
I Think you should consider putting a trigger warning before showing the image of the cutting/cuts so it doesn’t cause anyone discomfort or perhaps to relapse. Loved the episode! But maybe something to consider😃
You know, I've been watching a series of a "Serial Horror Story" else where on UA-cam, and there are constantly comments by people who don't realize it is not real or are nonetheless disturbed by it. (Or often both).
I wonder if UA-cam wouldn't be better off imposing some kind of rating system on videos, like with movies and video games; G, PG, PG-16, R , M for mature, etc.
The Noisy Spectator It is not so much if it is real or not. It is rather the fact that is cuts from self-harm that makes it triggering so a heads-up would be nice. I don’t think the rating system would work on youtube but that’s another topic. However thank you for such an understanding answer
Cupcake I assume by "triggering" you mean offensive to people.
No, I know what you mean, and I agree.
I would like to see a specific warning lable against watching it when trying to eat.
The Noisy Spectator I meant triggering in the way that it could make people, who used to cut, relapse or cause them discomfort but yours is a good reason as well
This was great Doc, very informative with a feel for mystery as if trying to get to the answer before the master himself. More House! I'll tune in every time.
I marvel at your knowledge and your ability to convey it so elegantly yet so simply.
I really like this format of yours!! I hope you do more of this. It gives me insight on how diagnoses are done
When I had surgery on my left knee, I was paranoid they were going to do the wrong knee. Doctor used marker to mark it, which made me feel better. When I woke up from anesthesia, idr if I asked or someone brought it up, but someone said "they did the right knee." I remember freaking out and saying "no no the left knee!" and struggling to sit up to check. Not the best choice of words lol.
My dad had to have his varicose veins removed from his right leg. Just before they put the mask on him to administer the anesthetic, literally as they were moving it towards his face, one said to him "It IS the left leg, isn't it?"
Immediately told them it wasn't and suffice to say was rather angry at the prospect of what could have happened if they hadn't thought to check!
I could just continue watching vids like this all day!
Love watching these videos whilst I work! Can't wait to see what episodes you tackle next!
I remember the "just wet yourself' sensation - they warn you it's going to happen but it still feels SO WEIRD. More so, I think, because if you've ever had a problem getting to a washroom in time you know that you're doing everything in your power to hold it in, so there's that feeling of clenching, of holding it in as much as possible - but in this case you're completely relaxed and it just makes that sensation of sudden, spreading warmth SO much weirder, like your brain is trying to figure out "wait... why did we just LET that happen and why are we just lying here like this is all okay?"
It's important to consider that the patients House treats have, in many cases, already been seen by other doctors between the opening stinger and House taking the case. This allows them to skip what would likely be a very dull patient history, as presumably they have already given this to a doctor.
Yes we must remember that Dr House gets all the weird cases that have already been examined by some other doctor and that doctor is mystified and stumped
A side note; Dr. Hope's skeleton is named Nina and the actress/patient (Sarah Clarke) in that 'House' episode played Nina Meyers in two seasons of '24'.
It's also worth mentioning @6:53 that an X-ray tube or a CT scan will have literally no affect on your phone. If a tech tries to tell you something like this, they're just lying to get you to pay attention to instructions.
I will be 45 soon, and I have learned more from you on here than I ever did in High school. And you made it a whole lot more exciting.
Great video. I've seen a fair few of these things lately (medical, lawyers, airline pilots, you name the profession, they're on youtube), and yours stands out simply because you stop and really examine things, then explain everything. Why am I here? I write speculative fiction, and it's great when I can get into a real professional's headspace (the hard information can be gained through researching cases, of course). Data isn't everything, and it's great to get a competent professional's side of things-the human element.
Really enjoyed the format of this episode! I learned a lot. I say keep doing the "challenge" aspect of these reviews!
It's funny how in almost all of these shows house/Holmes almost kills the patient but he justifies every course of action as he goes along and then just when all seems lost someone will say something or do something nothing to do with the case but house will make a linkage that is somehow never really explained that leads to the cure very conveniently in time with end of the episode. Great show though.
you are the first "real doctor reacts" who actually feels like a real doctor, and i find your analysis top tier
