"Isn't there any other way you could get pregnant? Like sitting on a toilet seat?" "Oh, absolutely. There'd have to be a guy between you and the toilet seat.." This might be the best line in the whole show.
When I was a teenager, I went 6 months without a period. I was convinced I was pregnant despite having never even kissed a boy due to an incurable case of the gay. I looked up parthenogenesis and was like "yo what if?" Clearly I wasn't pregnant but my teenage brain jumped to pregnant before it jumped to medical issue.
Parthenogenesis isn't possible in humans because of parenting imprinting. Certain genes, such as MECP2, are turned on/off in eggs and the reciprocal pattern in sperm. There's been a few cases of diploid eggs trying to develop on their own, but it's not viable, or even really recognizable as a baby.
But in the episode she is trying to hide her pregnancy so would know to lie about this to the doctor or nurse that asked her. As Dr. House says, everybody lies.
This House episode: *never ask if she's pregnant* Me at every doctor's visit since I started getting my period: "Is there any chance you could be pregnant?" Edit: jesus y'all I get it, the end of the video mentions they tested her. Before adding the millionth comment telling me so, consider that I typed this out as a joke like halfway through the video not expecting it to get any upvotes. Peace ✌
Literally tho 💀 Whenever I go to the doctor I always get these two questions: "Are you sexually active/could you be pregnant?" And "do you think you're depressed?" And I'm like no bro I have a bad gall bladder
@@jo1857 followed by you just need to lose weight, could go in for a severed limb, but they'd still be like "could you be pregnant? Are you depressed? You just need to lose weight." Lol 🤦♀️
Right? Or like my recent visit saying hey, we're 2 years out from delivery and my cycles are still super long and messed up. Home pregnancy tests say no, have said no for months, said no as recently as 2 weeks ago. They still wanted to do another urine pregnancy test in office. Still included pregnancy hormones in the blood work order. This from a temp doctor filling in during a vacation at my primary care doctor's office. But no, surgeons in the diagnostic medicine department at a hospital are turning a blind eye?
Hahahaha imagine if u went in 30-40 weeks pregnant but, in this world where we arent allowed to assume anything, they asked u if u were pregnant anyway
@@YankeeRose92 Oh YIKES. …ugh doctor logic: let’s demand a woman’s sexual history to Not Hurt Baby then tell her she’s Obviously Lying when she has symptoms she claims are NOT pregnancy short of an immaculate conception vs doing tests to get to the bottom of it 😖
@@fleurpeffer5212 just had that I’m more than 30 weeks pregnant and I went to urgent care for an insect bite (thank god all is good now) the nurse and the doctor both asked if I was pregnant I was like duh!!!
@@strrts5135 In their defense, if they just assume that someone is pregnant, someone could get really upset. I have a friend who's overweight, and people are constantly asking if she's pregnant because she carries most of her weight on her belly. If my friend were to go to the hospital and someone just assumed she was pregnant, they may wind up taking unnecessary tests and causing harm.
Me ; My blood is green Haus ; youve been drinking too much chemo. START HIM ON CHEMO ! me ; Where are all the nurses in this hospital ? Haus ; They all drank too much chemo. When did you get it on with the mutant tarantula ?
Female: I tripped and my ankle won't bear weight and has swollen 3 inches! Dr: Could you be pregnant? Female: No I have had my tubes tied, not had sex in over a year and am currently menstruating. Dr: Better do a pregnancy test just to be safe.
I'm touched how genuinely sad you seemed to be for the girl when she was talking about being bullied even though she's a fictional character. Like, obviously this stuff happens in real life, but it was so nice how concerned you seemed to be for that character.
As a scientist, I choked when they jumped straight to leukaemia. There is no way a doctor would jump to that conclusion without it being suggested by a haematologist after reviewing an abnormal blood film
I think how it works: patient arrives at ER, those doctors run tests and rule out the more common diagnoses and when they can't figure it out, it's determined the patient has a rare or more complicated illness/disease and that's when they are sent to Dr. House and his team. They are "super" specialists that deal with the more complicated cases. So lots of tests and procedures have already been performed by the time the patient gets to Dr. House. That's what I think, which is why it looks like they just jump to these more dire diseases, because we don't see what all the patient goes thru in the initial part of their arrival to the hospital. I hope I made sense lol 🤔.
@@babeejaynes4549 i agree with you. In fact, i remember House saying repeatedly on the show something like this, "One of the things that they teach new physicians is the phrase “When you hear hoofs, think horse, not zebra.” The principle is quite simple - the odds are the patient has the more common diagnosis than a rare, improbable one. ... The rule: Think horse without ruling out zebras."
I had peri-partum cardiomyopathy. They didn’t catch it on my first pregnancy or on my second. During my second pregnancy, I kept telling my DR that I felt like my heart was pounding against my ribs. My BP was good, so they weren’t worried about it. I worked as a dental hygienist (3-10 hour days a week in a very stressful practice) until I went into labor. I had a nine pound baby at 37 weeks after two days of contractions. 6 weeks later, I was at a surgery center to have my tubes tied because I needed to know my body could never get pregnant again. The nurse didn’t like my pulse and did an EKG. Left bundle branch block showed up. No surgery for me. The cardiologist found the cardiomyopathy a few weeks later. My OB-GYN said, “Well your pulse was high every time you came to see me, but I just figured that you were coming in on your lunch hour and you had a stressful job and you were 20 lbs overweight. I didn’t think that it was peri-partum cardiomyopathy because it’s so rare. My heart was five points above the point where someone would go on a transplant list. (EF of 25) I used to pray every night that I would live long enough for my kids to remember me and that I wouldn’t be an invalid while they were growing up. The good news is that the cardiologist put me on heart meds that gradually strengthened my heart muscle and after 13 years, I recovered to a point where it was almost normal. Walking uphill and walking upstairs still make me winded, but other than that, I’m really good. My boys are 24 and 21 so my prayers were definitely answered. Ladies, if your heart doesn’t feel right during your pregnancy, or anytime, make sure you ask a lot of questions and make sure that your DR takes you seriously. A simple, non-invasive, echocardiogram during my pregnancy would have picked up on my condition. I know another woman who had the same condition and her DR didn’t take her symptoms seriously. She finally passed out while driving at 5 months pregnant, with her other child in the car, before they believed her and discovered her heart problem. I know this was long, and I am not trying to be alarmist, but DR’s need to listen to women. Oh, and major props to the nurse who didn’t like my pulse. She probably saved my life. I love this channel. MDJ you are doing a great job.
Wow! I am so happy for you! I am so happy that your heart is healed and you got to live to see you children grow and get to live your life as you should have. Maybe even have some grandkids? ;) 😊💕
It reeeally sucks how common it is for people to have stories like "I had a serious problem, but the doctor always just blamed the problem on my weight." In your case in particular, an ekg is such a quick simple test there is no excuse for the doctor to not AT LEAST do one of those when you had cardiac signs/symptoms.
@@MaddyBlu9724 Exactly. I'm 100lbs overweight and my family dr still sent me for an ecg and I had to do a stress test and wear a holter monitor because my heart rate was between 100bpm and 120bpm when I'd see him. Though I have anxiety AND taking vyvanse for adhd which is a stimulant so i chalked it up to that. Drs really need to not blow things off. Just want to add that I passed all my heart tests and am fine :)
I have an ectopic atreal rhythm and have tachycardic episodes or palpitations while pregnant. I'm pregnant with my third now and with each pregnancy it's gotten worse/more frequent. My OB with my previous two kids just said it was likely low blood pressure, though my blood pressure was fine every time they checked it, and just said as long as the episodes weren't lasting longer than a couple minutes and stopped after giving birth (which has always been the case) then he wasn't worried. Then we moved and I have a new OB. She decided to refer me to a cardiologist where they did blood tests, an echocardiogram, and a 30 day ECG monitor. They found the ectopic atreal rhythm (which I've always had but was just diagnosed as a heart murmur when I was a kid), but it is not harmful and is apparently not related to the tachycardia or palpitations. Otherwise there is nothing wrong with my heart; it just has a harder time than most keeping up with the demands of pregnancy. So I spent several hundred dollars even with insurance on the cardiologist visits, but it was nice to have my OB take me seriously and good to know I don't actually have a heart problem.
This is a Big problem in Western society specially USA, teenagers seem to be a mean than eastern countries. Unfortunatley it's making its way even in india.
I think it should be noted, jokes and making fun can be different things(they can be the same). Im fairly tall and everyonce in a while they'll hit me with a "hows the weather up there?", and if i am trying to get one of my shorter friends attention, if they dont answer after like 30 seconds i might throw in a "name, name, name, short person in a blue shirt!"
This episode of House broke my heart SO BADLY. I was 16, over weight, brown curly hair and pregnant with eclampsia. I told my parents though and now my daughter will be 20 next month.
House is a softie and really didn't want to hurt the guy. It's obvious he was pretty naive and the last thing he'd want is to be the one to break it to him. Tough situation for anyone honestly
@@nicholeocornes543 they're together, but that doesnt sound like a healthy relationship. Unless they both decided it's an open relationship, but it sounds like that's not the case.
I love how nobody does anything to try and figure out if she's pregnant or not, but then there's me, at age 11, doing inpatient therapy and talking to a therapist and he's like "Are you sexually active" No sir I've kissed one person once and it was because they gave me dinosaur chicken nuggets leave me alone
@@FuzzyMonkey95 yea being in a relationship is great, your partner makes you dino chicken nuggets you get to chill and watch Avatar or something, and they steal half of your food after eating all of theirs
i don't get how being angry even becomes option when you get a grandchild? but then parents do all sorts of crap. i have experienced that myself. i literally would never waste my precious limited energy on fighting with child over stupid things like this. my mother did it and i just hate her forever, even after she dies. now, i'm not a girl nor do i have any children yet but i like don't plan to step on their personality either
Is that really surprising? How would anyone even start "getting angry" at their daughter when they've been half-expecting her to die at any moment for days? Not to mention just learned that she went through the trauma of delivering a baby alone and having that baby die? Pretty much anyone would just be trying to process all of that. I fully intend to teach my son (and any other kid I have, if any) sex is best saved for marriage and carries responsibilities no teenager is well prepared to deal with. But any normal parent at that moment would just want to be reassured about their daughter's health--physical and mental--and also flabbergasted and crushed that the daughter went through a whole pregnancy without even telling them.
These doctors on House: We have to do everything in our power to not give this girl a pregnancy test or ask her when her last period was Me to my Doctor: My eyes are runny/itchy, my skin keeps breaking in hives, and I have a sore throat. My Doctor: When was your last period? I suspect pregnancy.
@@Matrim42 I know but that was pretty late in the game when they mentioned that (I'd assume they would have ASKED her about previous pregnancy/period at least)and they were already trying to start her on all sorts of treatments from other stuff before they did it's just kinda laughable just since in real life if you're a girl doctors basically ask you about your last period no matter what you're in for.
@@Matrim42 She would have probably still have post-partum bleeding though.. And like, when I had my D&C 10 weeks after delivery they asked me for my last period and I was like... dunno? Is this still placental bleeding or already a period?!
@@Glitteryteddy there is a dude who appeared in one of those Insider videos where experts rate how real a movie is. His name is Roel Koniyjedjyik - my spelling, I have no f-Ing clue how you spell this - and he is an expert on ancient warfare. He is so legendary that they brought him back for a second video. So he watches these battle scenes in movies and he practically yells at the screen "dig a ditch! Why aren't you digging a ditch!" it's hilarious.
House only gets cases that other doctors can’t figure out therefore the more common illnesses have already been ruled out unless he’s in the clinic in which he does assume it’s a common condition
Funny thing to me is as a teenager they’d ask me if I was pregnant all the time. I’m 22 now and married but not once have I been asked at the doctors if there was a chance I could be pregnant….
I was in the ER one night for my asthma. Very busy and I was in a room with two beds separated by a curtain. A very tired nurse came in to get vitals on the woman next to me who came in because she was in a car accident. The nurse runs down the list of standard questions including the “any chance you are pregnant” then stops and says I can’t believe I just asked that. The patient and the nurse cracked up. The patient was in the ER because the paramedics wanted her to be checked to be sure the impact had not triggered preterm labor. 😜
I've had a hysterectomy, and I get asked if I could be pregnant. I have trans woman friends who get asked if they could be pregnant. I there's an F anywhere in your chart, one of the first questions you will be asked is, "Is there any chance you could be pregnant?" Seriously, male friends of mine - genitalia intact, afaik - have been asked by worn out radiology techs if they could be pregnant.
@@SewardWriter In fairness I don't think radiology techs get much if any information on the patients history. So in light of that it kinda makes sense that they don't just assume there is no chance the patient has a functioning uterus based on their appearance especially considering most scans are done with the patient still in a hospital gown at least.
When they said the damage was permanent in the show I was like wait what. I had eclampsia elapsed into help syndrome with my first kid. I even had died on the operating table during emergency c-section and was resuscitated. Still had all of my symptoms go away completely after being in the hospital for a little over a month.
They just wanted an excuse to kill the kid off so Cuddy could adopt her child (none of her family wanted the kid, of course). Extremely contrived plot.
I think the postpartum preeclampsia story in this episode in heartbreaking. My husband's cousin had preeclampsia in March and they had to deliver her baby by C-section a month premature. After she went home, she was really lethargic and tired all the time, had headaches, and wasn't eating much. About 2 weeks after giving birth, her mom took her to the hospital because they were worried about how much she was sleeping. I don't know what tests, if any, they did at that time, but they wouldn't admit her. The next morning, they could barely get her out of bed. The hospital admitted her this time and diagnosed her with postpartum preeclampsia. She a massive stroke the next day and went into a coma. They tried to remove the clots in her brain, but there were too many, and they couldn't stop the bleeding in her brain. The next day she was declared brain dead. Two days later they took her off life support and she died in 15 minutes. She was only 22 and was getting married in a few months. She was also the third daughter her mother had lost - she only has one left. I don't doubt that often women recover from postpartum preeclampsia, but sometimes they don't. A study from Turkey published in 2017 (Maternal mortality due to hypertensive disorders in pregnancy, childbirth, and the puerperium between 2012 and 2015 in Turkey: A nation-based study) found that 15.5% of maternal deaths were caused by hypertensive disorders (including preeclampsia), 98% of those deaths were postpartum, and about half of those deaths happened 8-42 days after delivery. It's really important for people to know about it and what the warning signs are and risk factors are. As wild as these medical drama stories are, I'm happy that they include things like this so people are at least aware that these lesser-known complications, diseases, and disorders exist, albeit not always presenting as described in the show.
So sorry about your husbands cousin. Unfortunately I had experienced myself postpartum eclampsia and had seizures during admission to maternity asessment unit , thankfully midwifes with doctors saved my life . Lucky I didnt have any complications but during all three pregnancies had high blood pressure problems. I had throbbing headaches for a week after delivering my first baby, hubby kept sending me to bed to get rest but headaches never went away so that night we decided to go to A&E. I was so unwell coulnt lift my head while sitting for 5 hours waiting in A&E. All pregnant women should be aware of those kind of conditions.
Ugh I'm so sorry. I had my son recently. He had to be in the NICU over an hr away. I left 16hrs after my c-section to be with him. Little over a week later, my legs/feet blew up. Numerous people told me to go in immediately. Postpartum preeclampsia. I had no idea I could get preeclampsia postpartum.... and this was my second. I wish they educated soon to be mom's that you can still develop it after you give birth.
I work in a pharmacy. I feel like this is something that should be highlighted in pharmacies too. Too many people just buy OTC meds, which are ok for non pregnant women. There is no separate guidance for new mothers. Though, I suppose after a week it is recommended that ppl visit a GP (physician)
Fun fact: I took seven pregnancy tests - including 2 in the gyn's office - all came back negative. The ultrasound showed I was 9 weeks pregnant. Evidently, there are some of us who are responsible for all those statistics about false negatives. ETA: Kidlet is now 15. Only problem during pregnancy was gall bladder related.
@@agirlwithdreams15 yes, one, which the doc said "looked like pregnant lady blood work, but the actual test is negative." Which is why we did the ultrasound.
I love how no one comments about how House’s ‘good deed’ for the episode was to lie on behalf of a woman who cheated on her bf. He makes up an impossible condition to bs that she totally didn’t cheat on him.
That's not a good deed. She's tricking him into raising a child that isn't his and cheated on him and probably still is. That's messed up. The truth will come out eventually. He just wanted to get them to stop bothering him.
Imagine how embarrassing it would be for you to go around saying that your wife is the new virgin mary and everyone either thinking you are crazy or knowing she cheated
@@jordanrayne4779 Right? Sometimes I want a follow up episode of the paitents coming back pissed because they were too stupid and beilived his blatant lies. XD
He had a bet with Wilson that he can be nice enough to his clinic patients to get a present and saw his chance in that stupid couple and won. He never claimed to want to be good.
alliesong77 I think they do touch on that in the series (don’t quote me) and house doesn’t trust nurses/ wants to make his team super vigilant about their patients/ make them work extra hard and thats why they do stuff that a nurse typically does
@@ginam.6787 I'm sure they could do it in a pinch, it's not rocket science, but generally speaking, its the nurses job. The shows often portray the doctors doing all the jobs of the nurse, so its funny because those things just don't really happen in real life.
As someone who is nearly and MD, this also has me rolling. I have never hung IV anything nor would I dare, because I would be sure to mess up something.
@@allaboutme418 We all have our roles, but they are usually not properly represented on tv. I always get a kick out of these shows when 2 MDs are giving a subcutaneous injection, LOL.
Everyone commenting "WhY DiDn'T tHeY dO a PrEgNancY TesT?!" when they say in the show that they did one and it came back negative. Also if they asked her about when her last period was, I'm sure she would have lied and tried to cover up the truth.
Not every female has a regular period. In fact, it is fairly common for both very obese and very athletic females to not have regular periods. Extremes are weird like that sometimes.
InfernosReaper keywords: she may Yes not everyone, but lots of people get their first PP period early. That’s why she said "she may have already had her period" I got mine at 4 months PP, it’s definitely possible.
The fact that they went to cancer before asking if she could have been pregnant recently is the most unbelievable thing about this considering how pregnancy is always first on the minds of doctors when women come in for anything. Sure, she had a negative test, but they should have considered the possibility of her having had a baby before thinking of giving her chemo.
That actually doesn't feel that unrealiatic for this hospital imo. There have too many crazy cases there. They have so many zebras there that they sometimes forget horses exist
I do not understand how people can watch this show. The things in this show go so far beyond suspension of disbelief. You don't need to know a lot of medical information to realize how little sense a lot of the stuff makes.
House's whole thing is that, for a case to make it to him and his team, the assumption is that it isn't something routine or solvable elsewhere (like eclampsia). This is why they wouldn't necessarily go straight to the pregnancy test.
The most touching part of this episode is Cuddy's journey She has this deep motherly instinct and has desperately wanted to be a natural mom, but meeting this sweet young girl and honoring her memory by adopting her little girl; I think that's really beautiful. 💗
As an ER nurse: There have been cases where no one asked if a young person was pregnant and did a CT. Lo and behold, fully developed fetus on the image. That's why we ask.
Every single time I went to the ER for issues with my common bible duct disorder, they did a pregnancy test. They did so until my hysterectomy (of course). I've also made hospitals do a test first because they seemed to forget the possibility.
As a former bio major (not medicine, I studied animals not people), House saying it was parthenogenesis was the most unexpected and funniest thing in this video. That was amazing.
My mom had pre-eclampsia! If any pregnant women see this comment KNOW YOUR BODY! My mom was going in for a routine check up and when they checked her blood pressure it was in the “normal” range. My mom has always had VERY low blood pressure and she had to beg the doctor to check her chart because they checked her blood pressure multiple times and it was normal every time. She insisted that it was too high and finally the doctor did check her previous blood pressure and the rest is a quick history of me being induced :P
This episode was ludicrously hilarious to me because as someone who’s chronically ill and in the hospital often I can barely see a nurse or get a Tylenol before they demand a pregnancy test. But sure, this person who’s gone through something as invasive as a bone marrow biopsy hasn’t been tested, lmao.
By the time they figured out it was pre-eclampsia I'm pretty sure the girl's mother said "But the pregnancy test was negative" so it was asked about off screen, but the patient wasn't upfront about it. She said the test would still turn up positive in at least the first 4 weeks... my question is how in the world did they examine her vaginally bleeding without noticing she was postpartum??
@@BrightAsDawn My original comment was a joke lmao but you're totally right about the exam. I swear most of the people in House shouldn't have passed medical school lol
I had preeclampsia with my oldest daughter, it was tough and I was hospitalized for 2 weeks before giving birth a month early…but we were both fine afterwards. Another awesome episode ♥️
Graduate student in my class: I didn't spend as much time as I wanted on my paper this week. My wife and I were at the doctor several times. She's pregnant and the baby is breech...I don't know if you're familiar with what that is. My first response: I watch mama doctor jones. Of course I know what that is! What I actually said: mmh-hmm, yes I am familiar. You rock, mdj :)
steffany Smith I believe if someone identifies as a woman, they are obligated to ask you the same questions they ask women who are biologically female.
@@emisformusic3375 That would be a bit silly, wouldn't it? I'm all for respecting someone's identity - using the right pronouns etc. But asking pointless questions in a medical exam just seems like a waste of time and energy for everyone involved.
Anime Logic i was dealing with a lot of doctors due to stomach issues and it got so bad I carried a negative one with me to the doctors just to be like “ no I’m not fucking pregnant “
I took my cousin to the ER for what appeared to be an aesmatha attack (no history) when she was 15, and atleast while I was there (they took her away for chest x-rays), they didn't ask her any questions about sexual activity or treat her for anything other than aesmatha....
I feel like they literally give you a pregnancy test EVERY time I've been in the hospital regardless of what was wrong with me. It's how I found out I was pregnant.
Right?? Like the only things I can get done without having to fill out my sexual history are MAYBE a routine dental cleaning and an eye exam. Even psychologists and therapists demand to KNOW even though they legally cannot prescribe anything. Like. Bare minimum I can be asked about my last period/my sexual history 3 Times during a New Patient or Annual visit-once on the paperwork, at least once by a nurse or physician’s assistant or nurse practitioner (per individual who comes in), then once by the actual doctor. It’s kinda ridiculous to be asked THAT many times (like I get WHY they have to ask. But that frequently? During the SAME visit? Buzz off. Especially since Not Once have I been referred to a gynecologist about having painful and heavy periods that often make me vomit, get numbness in my legs, and overall feel anemic. But sure. Ask me about my libido and apparently not believe me (really. Do y’all want me to shout that I’m ace? Don’t plan on having kids? C’MON.)
@@professorbutters , doctor in-office pregnancy tests are very simple and fast. Open a pregnancy test kit. Add a few drops of urine. Turn on the timer. When the timer goes off, check to see the lines.
You're not even joking. I've gone in and been like "I am a lesbian and also sterile due to a clotting disorder" and they're like "so could you be pregnant?" WHAT PART OF STERILE DO YOU NOT UNDERSTAND?
"They sure jump to treatments without knowing what's going on really quickly" Welcome to the wondrous world of House M.D. I started watching House about two weeks ago and you have no idea how happy I was when I saw this video! Love you MDJ!
Like most series, it got over-the-top ridiculous in the last few seasons. It had damn good eps 1-5 imo. The resolution of House criminal charges was the end for me.
I had the HELLP syndrome with my second pregnancy, so I understood what you were saying completely! The magnesium was so awful and thankfully, I was able to deliver my son safely at 34 weeks.

I don’t understand why parents get so offended when you ask their 17 year old if there’s a chance. Like I’m sorry but it’s highly likely you don’t know what your child does when you aren’t around.
@@savannahfontana4386 13 year olds these days are having sex. Honestly, these days- it's VERY likely that their 17 year old is pregnant. The world is doomed.
@@quirkypurple3 Yes but the age that kids are getting pregnant at is also getting lower. Years ago, you just had to worry about your 15/16 year old getting pregnant. Now you have to also worry about your 12/13 year old getting pregnant.
They're only 'difficult' to make it more 'intersting' and suspenseful. But for people who have any kind of medical training, it makes this show unbearable to watch because we call out all the B.S. that it tries to pull just to get a bigger reaction out of the audience.
What angers me is that had this young lady been black, the first thing doctors ask is if she has been pregnant! I've been to the emergency room dozens of times and doctors ask me that! Likewise, a good girlfriend of mine had Aids. The doctor didn't test her for it, but I was!
Thank you for using language like "people with the right parts to get pregnant." As a trans man with no plans for bottom surgery, it's really refreshing and makes me enjoy your videos more.
EinsamPibroch278 it’s not mental gymnastics to be inclusive. Being called “female,” a term heavily associated with being a woman, can be, and often is, very uncomfortable for trans men, to say the least. Stop being a transphobe, thanks.

Let me tell you how much medical professionals LOVE ME* when I reply to that question with "There's always a possibility: no birth control is 100% effective" *They actually hate it. In ~25 years, that's never gotten me so much as an eye roll. But my day will come.
I was 13 when I had my first ovarian cyst, it was the beginning of 10 years of an ongoing amount of surgeries, doctors consults and ER visits, I'm a virgin and every time I go to tge ER, they ask if I could be pregnant, nope I'm a virgin.. They take blood and urine and about an hour later they always come back telling me I'm indeed not pregnant! Wow you're kidding! I thought I was virgin mary or something!
So glad I stood my ground with my gut bad feeling when I was pregnant. The Dr on call at our hospital that night said my symptoms were normal but I was gaining 10lbs a day suddenly. And I'm thankful my Dr got me in asap the next day because it was preeclampsia. Scares me to think how dangerous my situation was. Needless to say my kiddo wasnt born near my husbands birthday like expected. Came a lot earlier. Ive learned to trust my gut instinct on things since then. And I sympathise with anyone else who went through this. As preclampsia or eclampsia!
House: * Nobody asking when her last period was * Me, 21, asexual, laying on the X-Ray table due to a marching band related injury: The technician: "Could you be pregnant?" Me: Take a wild guess.

Eclampsia is so scary. A coworkers wife had it and 1 week after giving birth she had a stroke. She survived but the brain damage means she will never be the same. I'm 6 months pregnant now and while I know it's rare it's something that I think about often.
The teen died and the lady doctor (Cuddy, I'm a House fan lol) adopted the baby. You watch her grow up through the series and I had always hoped there would be a scene where someone tells her about her birth mom cuz that's a wild story lol
I forgot did they find out who the dad is of the baby? Cause a friend of mine had to go to court to remove the paternal rights of father of the babies (triplets) she adopted. The court system is getting tough on making sure both parent give up the baby or at least a good faith effort is made to find both parents.
M D That episode called “Joy” (when House treats a father and daughter with Familial Mediterranean Fever), is when Cuddy almost adopts a drug user’s baby, but then she decides to clean up her life and raise the baby herself. This one comes several episodes later, “Joy to the World” (the pregnant teen first gets ill during a school Christmas program), and Cuddy adopts this baby instead. (Another House fan here, lol.)
Everytime I go to the doctor, one of the first questions is *always* "Is there a chance you could could be pregnant?" And even if I say no they still want to do a test just to be sure, which I don't mind.
As someone who is not sexually active, I mind. I know people lie, but paying the hospital a hundred bucks for a test that you can get for a dollar, which I don't even need, pisses me right off.
@susan no doubt, but the redeeming factor in House is they established a universe where House founded a department that gets consulted solely to deal with complicated cases that have to solved against time. That is reasonable grounds for suspension of disbelief
@@whatsthecrux If treatment works, that is NOT a definitive diagnosis. Multiple diseases can have the same treatment. If the treatment works forever, that renders the question of diagnosis moot but does NOT guarantee that the diagnosis that led to that treatment was correct. The very first House episode includes prescribing steroids based on a bad diagnosis. These steroids make the patient (Rachel Adler) feel better, which gets Cuddy off of House's back ... for a little while. Then the patient gets much worse, and the question of correct diagnosis has to be addressed all over again. It also confirms that that Cuddy was right to reject House's "treatment to confirm diagnosis" approach. It's an exact case study on the pitfalls of treatment as a means of diagnosis.
well... maybe she was suspecting a miscarriage or something else. doctors sometimes conduct tests to confirm suspicions first before making you worry when considering a serious diagnosis. im not in the gynecologic field though, so its just a guess.
my doctor when i was literally 7: have you had any sexual activity and is there a chance you are pregnant? me: wtf does that mean this show: whats a pregnancy test?
"That;s not your baby. You're tiny, no way you gave birth three weeks ago" Me looking at photos of myself 5 days after the birth of my son going 'I'm literally the same size I was BEFORE I got pregnant'
Same! I thought: wtf, some are! 10 days after birth, I weighed 5 kilo's less then before my pregnancy! My baby was eating me #breastfeeding. :D (I gained 13 kilo's in pregnancy and lost 18 within the first 10 days after birth)
I weighed 12 lbs LESS the day after my son was born than I did the day I got pregnant... Thank you Hyperemises 😒 Also, I had HELP syndrome during that pregnancy... Not one doctor explained what was going on and I was terrified the whole time. A completely different doctor, around the time my son was 3 and I was pregnant with my daughter, told me about it and was very specific about what we needed to do and watch out for during the second pregnancy.
Everyone is talking about how they didn’t do a pregnancy test, but at the end Cudie literally said they did a pregnancy test when she was admitted but it was negative because it was long enough after she had given birth.
Also false negatives are a thing. In some women the hormones the pregnancy tests look for increase at a slower rate. Sometimes those pregnancies end in miscarriage, as they did for me, but sometimes such women go on to have healthy children. I've had 2 miscarriages and zero positive pregnancy tests thanks to that. Any doctor worth their salt should be aware that pregnancy tests can have false positives and false negatives. And also that some women keep bleeding for a surprising number of months during their pregnancies. The misconception that that's impossible may contribute to some cases of "I didn't know I was pregnant."
Speaking of mean high school kids: I had a generally positive group of friends, and I still lied about my grades, pretended my grades were worse than they were, because I would get called an overachiever. Which was apparently a bad thing.
Why couldn't he lie about the "virgin" having a merged twin in her uterus which suddenly started developing? That would still be more plausible than parthenogenesis.
She can give birth to it in that, if it were merged within the uterus, it could theoretically be birthed from there if it started responding to hormones or growth stimuli (which the growth portion has been known to happen before - although specifically in the uterus I have not heard of, hence theoretically( But it is not, by any means, a viable birth. It’s just a stillborn parasite at that point.
He didn't care about the relationship though. He saved it as part a plot for him to win a bet with Wilson. The was made during a conversation between Wilson and House about how Wilson gets a lot of Christmas gifts from his patients every year, and the bet was that House would never be able to get a gift from a patient because he is literally incapable of both kindness and good bedside manners. So he deliberately deceived the boyfriend about the virgin birth and the girlfriend knew he was covering for her and sent him something as a gift to thank him, which he immediately used to shut Wilson up. Hell, House might've even made a deal with her before hand.
@@margaretjohnson6259 They wouldn't expect the baby to look like the fiancé. Parthenogenesis is asexual reproduction, there is no other genetic material involved to mak the baby than the mother's. The problem would be if the baby doesn't resemble the mother
I loved the show House. There were 2 reasons. I loved the interplay between all of the characters. I also loved learning about different diseases (not that the show explained them) by researching it on the internet. I agree with your statement about running all sorts of serious tests/therapies without further diagnosis.
My very first pregnancy I had signs of pre-eclampsia. This is the first time I have an actual explanation of this condition. Signs, symptoms , treatment and everything else. THANK YOU!!!!!
16:28 - thank you so much Mama Doctor Jones! I was seen in the Urgent Care not long after giving birth to my daughter because I thought I had Pre-eclampsia. They look at me like I was crazy and said this only occurs during pregnancy.
At nearly 70 i ended up in the emergency room for A-fib. The nurse doing my history asks me, " Are you "still" post-menopausal? There was an audible thump as my confidence in care quality crashed. I replied that I didn't know the condition was reversible and if so, please don't.
Really? Reminds me of a medical show where a black woman unfortunately passed away because nobody wanted to check out her health post-birth (the baby survived). I don't know the name but it was apparently based on/dedicated (?) to real life cases that happen like that. Either way, that sucks, as though there aren't enough pregnancy horror stories to be heard :/
The girl’s parents were young. It seems like they might have wanted the baby. But hey. Fiction. Edit: I know it is fiction. I won’t delete the comment since there are so many replies, but I really didn’t mean it to be taken so seriously.
Doesn't surprise me that the teen died though, sadly. I know pregnancies are risky for adult women, much less someone who didn't even get to be 18 ... makes you really sad about irl cases like these, too.
@@carolsh1983 They wanted the baby? What? Did you see how her dad reacted to her possibly taking those headache pills on her own? Possibly her mother, yes, but her father? I don't see it.
No. We’re not talking about medical stuff (which is diagnosed based on tests on that specific patient by that patient’s doctor(s) and which the legal system in MDJ’s country and similar countries has decided is none of the general public’s business). We’re talking about regular people being dicks about what someone looks like, and MDJ herself, who is a doctor, condemned that in her video. So I don’t give a flying fart in space about what OP is or isn’t doing about their weight. People need to stop making fun of other people’s bodies. Period.
Hi Monique F. I want to say i know what you mean but if im honest i cant pretend to know what it is like to be in your shoes. Just know that there are people out there trying to make changes by educating the average joe like myself, and also trying to bring more inclusivity to clothing lines and campaiging against fatphobic ads etc. One example is Meghan Jayne Crabbe who i learned about through her instagram account Bodyposipanda. She is just one of many. Hang in there, change is being worked on. Sending love and do your best not to let the pandemic cause any additional anxiety!
Mama Doctor, I hope the people who were nasty to you in High School, see this video and hang their heads in shame. You are a dedicated and talented OB-Gyn. You help and support woman and their families, you bring babies into the world, you use your credentials and knowledge to create a platform to inform and educate, and you do it all in a kind, up-beat, insightful and socially conscious way.

I was eating cereal and had to stop to laugh so I wouldn't choke. That made me die laughing.
At church camp, they told us we could get pregnant that way and that's why we have separate bathrooms
I’ve watched that episode. She cheated on her boyfriend. They are both from the same church & engaged.
@@zoewood555 why would they say that o.O id be scared to use toilets.
When I was a teenager, I went 6 months without a period. I was convinced I was pregnant despite having never even kissed a boy due to an incurable case of the gay. I looked up parthenogenesis and was like "yo what if?" Clearly I wasn't pregnant but my teenage brain jumped to pregnant before it jumped to medical issue.
“Case of gay” lmao-
"INCURABLE CASE OF THE GAY" LMAOOO MOOD
incurable case of gay 😭 HEKDPDJDJ
Parthenogenesis isn't possible in humans because of parenting imprinting. Certain genes, such as MECP2, are turned on/off in eggs and the reciprocal pattern in sperm. There's been a few cases of diploid eggs trying to develop on their own, but it's not viable, or even really recognizable as a baby.
that was like me before I got my pcos diagnosed
House: “never asked if she was pregnant” radiologist giving me and x-ray when I was 10: “could you be pregnant”
don’t attack us 😂😂 sometimes, especially on toxic night duties were out of it 😂😂
also it’s protocol and asked out of habit 😂
yeah that happened to me too after a blood test, worst thing was I didn't know how you got pregnant so I just looked at my mom in fear and asked her.
I pee a lot because of my weak bladder and my doctor immediately thinks I’m pregnant when I pee more than normal
@@Alicapy well shit.......i must be pregnant XD
Did everybody here comment before watching the whole video? They did a pregnancy test, she had ALREADY had the baby.
I'm not a doctor, but isn't the "when was your last period" question one of the standard questions any time a female has a medical visit?
Yes.
Yes, another common question is "are you sexually active?" Idk if it's asked for guys though.
Whenever I go to the ER... they ask these questions usually... is it possible you're pregnant and when was your last menstrual cycle?!
But in the episode she is trying to hide her pregnancy so would know to lie about this to the doctor or nurse that asked her. As Dr. House says, everybody lies.
Cap Amer I’m 65 yrs old and and drs still ask me when my last period was!!
This House episode: *never ask if she's pregnant*
Me at every doctor's visit since I started getting my period: "Is there any chance you could be pregnant?"
Edit: jesus y'all I get it, the end of the video mentions they tested her. Before adding the millionth comment telling me so, consider that I typed this out as a joke like halfway through the video not expecting it to get any upvotes. Peace ✌
Literally tho 💀
Whenever I go to the doctor I always get these two questions:
"Are you sexually active/could you be pregnant?" And "do you think you're depressed?"
And I'm like no bro I have a bad gall bladder
@@jo1857 followed by you just need to lose weight, could go in for a severed limb, but they'd still be like "could you be pregnant? Are you depressed? You just need to lose weight." Lol 🤦♀️
Me too, even though having endometriosis(reduced fertility), Autism(hates it when touched) and being a virgin...
Yep me going to the doctors when I’ve got the time of the month ( Not relate to it )can you be pregnant err no lol
Right? Or like my recent visit saying hey, we're 2 years out from delivery and my cycles are still super long and messed up. Home pregnancy tests say no, have said no for months, said no as recently as 2 weeks ago. They still wanted to do another urine pregnancy test in office. Still included pregnancy hormones in the blood work order. This from a temp doctor filling in during a vacation at my primary care doctor's office. But no, surgeons in the diagnostic medicine department at a hospital are turning a blind eye?
The only time I have gone into the doctor and not been asked if I was pregnant, was when I was visibly very obviously pregnant.
Hahahaha imagine if u went in 30-40 weeks pregnant but, in this world where we arent allowed to assume anything, they asked u if u were pregnant anyway
I had a large tumor in my uterus at one point and before i was diagnosed i was basically just told I was pregnant

@@strrts5135 In their defense, if they just assume that someone is pregnant, someone could get really upset. I have a friend who's overweight, and people are constantly asking if she's pregnant because she carries most of her weight on her belly.

Me: My throat is sore.
Dr: When was your last period?

It’s Lupus
This House episode: nobody asks if she's pregnant
The nurse giving me my vaccinations when I was 12: is there any chance you could be pregnant?
*sees Dr for ear problems*
"are you pregnant?"
Me, 11, getting lozenges for my wittle cold: "are you sexually active? Is there any chance you may be pregnant?"
It's like bruh I don't even have my period yet. I heard them asking the grade 5 kids this at the public school I attended for a couple years.
13:47 You clearly missed the part where her mother says she was tested when brought in.
Nobody asks because standard labs are done long before the case ever reaches House. He does a differential diagnosis.
"There would have to be a guy between you and the toilet seat" is one of my favorite things said in that episode, lol
That's one of my favorite things house ever said, but yes
Or a turkey baster.
I laughed so hard at this🤣
Ever since I heard it, it's always been one of my favorite quotes haha. So glad I got to see it again here, it's been a while.
Literally will never forget that line. Iconic.
I'm touched how genuinely sad you seemed to be for the girl when she was talking about being bullied even though she's a fictional character. Like, obviously this stuff happens in real life, but it was so nice how concerned you seemed to be for that character.
Especially in contrast to the doctor who was just like "oh well, suck it up and get healthy".
That's the mama bear in her.
I'm sensing the same energy as Dr. Mike's exclaiming "Chest Compressions" when you're saying "are they going to do a pregnancy test"! :D
Not as catchy, though
Haha totally
As a scientist, I choked when they jumped straight to leukaemia. There is no way a doctor would jump to that conclusion without it being suggested by a haematologist after reviewing an abnormal blood film
youd be surprised how fast some jump to that conclusion sadly
Wasn’t it the oncologist who suggested it? I think it was...Dr. James Wilson. Not that it matters much with House but that was the oncologist.
This didn't show all the steps they took and all the tests they did. There was quite a bit more to this episode than was shown here.
I think how it works: patient arrives at ER, those doctors run tests and rule out the more common diagnoses and when they can't figure it out, it's determined the patient has a rare or more complicated illness/disease and that's when they are sent to Dr. House and his team. They are "super" specialists that deal with the more complicated cases. So lots of tests and procedures have already been performed by the time the patient gets to Dr. House. That's what I think, which is why it looks like they just jump to these more dire diseases, because we don't see what all the patient goes thru in the initial part of their arrival to the hospital. I hope I made sense lol 🤔.
@@babeejaynes4549 i agree with you. In fact, i remember House saying repeatedly on the show something like this, "One of the things that they teach new physicians is the phrase “When you hear hoofs, think horse, not zebra.” The principle is quite simple - the odds are the patient has the more common diagnosis than a rare, improbable one. ... The rule: Think horse without ruling out zebras."
I had peri-partum cardiomyopathy. They didn’t catch it on my first pregnancy or on my second. During my second pregnancy, I kept telling my DR that I felt like my heart was pounding against my ribs. My BP was good, so they weren’t worried about it. I worked as a dental hygienist (3-10 hour days a week in a very stressful practice) until I went into labor. I had a nine pound baby at 37 weeks after two days of contractions. 6 weeks later, I was at a surgery center to have my tubes tied because I needed to know my body could never get pregnant again. The nurse didn’t like my pulse and did an EKG. Left bundle branch block showed up. No surgery for me. The cardiologist found the cardiomyopathy a few weeks later. My OB-GYN said, “Well your pulse was high every time you came to see me, but I just figured that you were coming in on your lunch hour and you had a stressful job and you were 20 lbs overweight. I didn’t think that it was peri-partum cardiomyopathy because it’s so rare. My heart was five points above the point where someone would go on a transplant list. (EF of 25) I used to pray every night that I would live long enough for my kids to remember me and that I wouldn’t be an invalid while they were growing up. The good news is that the cardiologist put me on heart meds that gradually strengthened my heart muscle and after 13 years, I recovered to a point where it was almost normal. Walking uphill and walking upstairs still make me winded, but other than that, I’m really good. My boys are 24 and 21 so my prayers were definitely answered. Ladies, if your heart doesn’t feel right during your pregnancy, or anytime, make sure you ask a lot of questions and make sure that your DR takes you seriously. A simple, non-invasive, echocardiogram during my pregnancy would have picked up on my condition. I know another woman who had the same condition and her DR didn’t take her symptoms seriously. She finally passed out while driving at 5 months pregnant, with her other child in the car, before they believed her and discovered her heart problem. I know this was long, and I am not trying to be alarmist, but DR’s need to listen to women. Oh, and major props to the nurse who didn’t like my pulse. She probably saved my life. I love this channel. MDJ you are doing a great job.
Wow! I am so happy for you! I am so happy that your heart is healed and you got to live to see you children grow and get to live your life as you should have. Maybe even have some grandkids? ;) 😊💕
It reeeally sucks how common it is for people to have stories like "I had a serious problem, but the doctor always just blamed the problem on my weight." In your case in particular, an ekg is such a quick simple test there is no excuse for the doctor to not AT LEAST do one of those when you had cardiac signs/symptoms.
@@MaddyBlu9724 Exactly. I'm 100lbs overweight and my family dr still sent me for an ecg and I had to do a stress test and wear a holter monitor because my heart rate was between 100bpm and 120bpm when I'd see him. Though I have anxiety AND taking vyvanse for adhd which is a stimulant so i chalked it up to that. Drs really need to not blow things off.
Just want to add that I passed all my heart tests and am fine :)
I have an ectopic atreal rhythm and have tachycardic episodes or palpitations while pregnant. I'm pregnant with my third now and with each pregnancy it's gotten worse/more frequent. My OB with my previous two kids just said it was likely low blood pressure, though my blood pressure was fine every time they checked it, and just said as long as the episodes weren't lasting longer than a couple minutes and stopped after giving birth (which has always been the case) then he wasn't worried. Then we moved and I have a new OB. She decided to refer me to a cardiologist where they did blood tests, an echocardiogram, and a 30 day ECG monitor. They found the ectopic atreal rhythm (which I've always had but was just diagnosed as a heart murmur when I was a kid), but it is not harmful and is apparently not related to the tachycardia or palpitations. Otherwise there is nothing wrong with my heart; it just has a harder time than most keeping up with the demands of pregnancy. So I spent several hundred dollars even with insurance on the cardiologist visits, but it was nice to have my OB take me seriously and good to know I don't actually have a heart problem.
I also was diagnosed with PPCM. EF got to 33. All bc my OB didn’t listen to me and put me on lexapro and ambien 🙄

@@ketas some people aren’t ready for kids, or arent mature/responsible enough, we hear stories all the time about really bad things happening to kids
Is that really surprising? How would anyone even start "getting angry" at their daughter when they've been half-expecting her to die at any moment for days? Not to mention just learned that she went through the trauma of delivering a baby alone and having that baby die? Pretty much anyone would just be trying to process all of that. I fully intend to teach my son (and any other kid I have, if any) sex is best saved for marriage and carries responsibilities no teenager is well prepared to deal with. But any normal parent at that moment would just want to be reassured about their daughter's health--physical and mental--and also flabbergasted and crushed that the daughter went through a whole pregnancy without even telling them.

They have her a pregnancy test, though. They said so when they started thinking eclampsia.
@@Matrim42 I know but that was pretty late in the game when they mentioned that (I'd assume they would have ASKED her about previous pregnancy/period at least)and they were already trying to start her on all sorts of treatments from other stuff before they did it's just kinda laughable just since in real life if you're a girl doctors basically ask you about your last period no matter what you're in for.
xWinterWolfx7 They said she had a pregnancy test when she was brought in and it was negative, that’s why it took them so long to propose eclampsia.

This is the honest truth 😂😂
😆
I just hope not at the same time.
I was in the ER one night for my asthma. Very busy and I was in a room with two beds separated by a curtain. A very tired nurse came in to get vitals on the woman next to me who came in because she was in a car accident.
The nurse runs down the list of standard questions including the “any chance you are pregnant” then stops and says I can’t believe I just asked that. The patient and the nurse cracked up. The patient was in the ER because the paramedics wanted her to be checked to be sure the impact had not triggered preterm labor. 😜
"They never asked for a pregnancy test"
Me getting a flu shot at 11: *any chance she's pregnant?*
I think they have to ask that for legal reasons. It is possible to be pregnant before the age of 11.
I've had a hysterectomy, and I get asked if I could be pregnant. I have trans woman friends who get asked if they could be pregnant. I there's an F anywhere in your chart, one of the first questions you will be asked is, "Is there any chance you could be pregnant?"
Seriously, male friends of mine - genitalia intact, afaik - have been asked by worn out radiology techs if they could be pregnant.
@@SewardWriter In fairness I don't think radiology techs get much if any information on the patients history. So in light of that it kinda makes sense that they don't just assume there is no chance the patient has a functioning uterus based on their appearance especially considering most scans are done with the patient still in a hospital gown at least.
When they said the damage was permanent in the show I was like wait what. I had eclampsia elapsed into help syndrome with my first kid. I even had died on the operating table during emergency c-section and was resuscitated. Still had all of my symptoms go away completely after being in the hospital for a little over a month.
So glad for you 🙏😊
The damage was permanent because they were damaged already from her drinking alcohol at such a young age.
Purely out of curiosity, were you able to keep your baby at the hospital with you during your stay?
They just wanted an excuse to kill the kid off so Cuddy could adopt her child (none of her family wanted the kid, of course). Extremely contrived plot.
Wow! Your channel is so fun, and interesting!
I think the postpartum preeclampsia story in this episode in heartbreaking. My husband's cousin had preeclampsia in March and they had to deliver her baby by C-section a month premature. After she went home, she was really lethargic and tired all the time, had headaches, and wasn't eating much. About 2 weeks after giving birth, her mom took her to the hospital because they were worried about how much she was sleeping. I don't know what tests, if any, they did at that time, but they wouldn't admit her. The next morning, they could barely get her out of bed. The hospital admitted her this time and diagnosed her with postpartum preeclampsia. She a massive stroke the next day and went into a coma. They tried to remove the clots in her brain, but there were too many, and they couldn't stop the bleeding in her brain. The next day she was declared brain dead. Two days later they took her off life support and she died in 15 minutes. She was only 22 and was getting married in a few months. She was also the third daughter her mother had lost - she only has one left.
I don't doubt that often women recover from postpartum preeclampsia, but sometimes they don't. A study from Turkey published in 2017 (Maternal mortality due to hypertensive disorders in pregnancy, childbirth, and the puerperium between 2012 and 2015 in Turkey: A nation-based study) found that 15.5% of maternal deaths were caused by hypertensive disorders (including preeclampsia), 98% of those deaths were postpartum, and about half of those deaths happened 8-42 days after delivery. It's really important for people to know about it and what the warning signs are and risk factors are. As wild as these medical drama stories are, I'm happy that they include things like this so people are at least aware that these lesser-known complications, diseases, and disorders exist, albeit not always presenting as described in the show.
I love how much work you put into this comment
I’m so sorry for you and your husband
So sorry about your husbands cousin. Unfortunately I had experienced myself postpartum eclampsia and had seizures during admission to maternity asessment unit , thankfully midwifes with doctors saved my life . Lucky I didnt have any complications but during all three pregnancies had high blood pressure problems. I had throbbing headaches for a week after delivering my first baby, hubby kept sending me to bed to get rest but headaches never went away so that night we decided to go to A&E. I was so unwell coulnt lift my head while sitting for 5 hours waiting in A&E. All pregnant women should be aware of those kind of conditions.
Ugh I'm so sorry. I had my son recently. He had to be in the NICU over an hr away. I left 16hrs after my c-section to be with him. Little over a week later, my legs/feet blew up. Numerous people told me to go in immediately. Postpartum preeclampsia. I had no idea I could get preeclampsia postpartum.... and this was my second. I wish they educated soon to be mom's that you can still develop it after you give birth.
I work in a pharmacy. I feel like this is something that should be highlighted in pharmacies too. Too many people just buy OTC meds, which are ok for non pregnant women. There is no separate guidance for new mothers. Though, I suppose after a week it is recommended that ppl visit a GP (physician)
Fun fact: I took seven pregnancy tests - including 2 in the gyn's office - all came back negative. The ultrasound showed I was 9 weeks pregnant. Evidently, there are some of us who are responsible for all those statistics about false negatives. ETA: Kidlet is now 15. Only problem during pregnancy was gall bladder related.
@@agirlwithdreams15 yes, one, which the doc said "looked like pregnant lady blood work, but the actual test is negative." Which is why we did the ultrasound.
Kidlet is a pretty name

I love how no one comments about how House’s ‘good deed’ for the episode was to lie on behalf of a woman who cheated on her bf. He makes up an impossible condition to bs that she totally didn’t cheat on him.
That's not a good deed. She's tricking him into raising a child that isn't his and cheated on him and probably still is. That's messed up. The truth will come out eventually. He just wanted to get them to stop bothering him.
@@AirQuotes Notice how I put ‘good deed’ in quotation marks. Please tell me it’s day time at 11am.
Imagine how embarrassing it would be for you to go around saying that your wife is the new virgin mary and everyone either thinking you are crazy or knowing she cheated
@@jordanrayne4779 Right? Sometimes I want a follow up episode of the paitents coming back pissed because they were too stupid and beilived his blatant lies. XD
He had a bet with Wilson that he can be nice enough to his clinic patients to get a present and saw his chance in that stupid couple and won. He never claimed to want to be good.
As a nurse, watching the doctors hang IV fluid bags has me dead.
Because it's not their job, or are they really bad at it?
alliesong77 I think they do touch on that in the series (don’t quote me) and house doesn’t trust nurses/ wants to make his team super vigilant about their patients/ make them work extra hard and thats why they do stuff that a nurse typically does
@@ginam.6787 I'm sure they could do it in a pinch, it's not rocket science, but generally speaking, its the nurses job. The shows often portray the doctors doing all the jobs of the nurse, so its funny because those things just don't really happen in real life.
As someone who is nearly and MD, this also has me rolling. I have never hung IV anything nor would I dare, because I would be sure to mess up something.
@@allaboutme418 We all have our roles, but they are usually not properly represented on tv. I always get a kick out of these shows when 2 MDs are giving a subcutaneous injection, LOL.
Everyone commenting "WhY DiDn'T tHeY dO a PrEgNancY TesT?!" when they say in the show that they did one and it came back negative. Also if they asked her about when her last period was, I'm sure she would have lied and tried to cover up the truth.
Especially given "Everybody lies" is one of the most common things House says throughout the series.
Honestly, they probably commented before getting through the video
Well maybe she didn't lie. She may have already had her first postpartum period.
Not every female has a regular period. In fact, it is fairly common for both very obese and very athletic females to not have regular periods. Extremes are weird like that sometimes.
InfernosReaper keywords: she may
Yes not everyone, but lots of people get their first PP period early. That’s why she said "she may have already had her period"
I got mine at 4 months PP, it’s definitely possible.
I can see Mama Doctor Jones’ frustration increasing each second that goes by without a pregnancy test
The fact that they went to cancer before asking if she could have been pregnant recently is the most unbelievable thing about this considering how pregnancy is always first on the minds of doctors when women come in for anything.
Sure, she had a negative test, but they should have considered the possibility of her having had a baby before thinking of giving her chemo.
That actually doesn't feel that unrealiatic for this hospital imo. There have too many crazy cases there. They have so many zebras there that they sometimes forget horses exist
I do not understand how people can watch this show. The things in this show go so far beyond suspension of disbelief. You don't need to know a lot of medical information to realize how little sense a lot of the stuff makes.
@@catpoke9557 the acting and jokes are fun
House's whole thing is that, for a case to make it to him and his team, the assumption is that it isn't something routine or solvable elsewhere (like eclampsia).
This is why they wouldn't necessarily go straight to the pregnancy test.

As a veteran, this episode always cracks me up. They'd preg test us if we had a cough. No way is a military doctor missing this one hahaha
Oh my god 😂 I’ll never forget getting pregnancy tests before getting any prescriptions. Bless Tricare, but I do not miss the Naval hospital at all.
"There would have to be a guy between you and the toilet seat"
House has some legendary lines in this show.
The most touching part of this episode is Cuddy's journey
She has this deep motherly instinct and has desperately wanted to be a natural mom, but meeting this sweet young girl and honoring her memory by adopting her little girl; I think that's really beautiful. 💗
As an ER nurse: There have been cases where no one asked if a young person was pregnant and did a CT. Lo and behold, fully developed fetus on the image. That's why we ask.
I know right? Or x-rays on a pregnant person
Every single time I went to the ER for issues with my common bible duct disorder, they did a pregnancy test. They did so until my hysterectomy (of course). I've also made hospitals do a test first because they seemed to forget the possibility.
can i ask if anyone knows if this is an american thing? i'm european and have never been tested for pregnancy at a hospital, i'm so confused hahah
@@paadoxal You would only need a test if you underwent x ray imaging or CT scanning. Not for every visit.
@@paadoxal they always tested me because of medications they had to give me for my issues. I'm in the USA
4 minutes in with 2 symptoms and she's already like "pre-eclampsia" and it took house 40 minutes to figure out
Because she knew it was gyno related
@@starman3533 House didnt figure it out, Cutty did.
No she said it could be an ectopic or a miscarriage
Cause it's a tv show
because the ER ruled out pregnancy before she became House's patient, as said in the episode
“They sure jump to treatments without knowing what’s going on”, that’s the House way
And they somehow always thank him despite being subjected to torture before he followed common sense, LOL.
As a former bio major (not medicine, I studied animals not people), House saying it was parthenogenesis was the most unexpected and funniest thing in this video. That was amazing.
You should do review “Jane the Virgin” season 1 episode 1 !!
Eliza Melendez YES
YES!!!!!!!!!!!!! THAT IS MY FAVORITE SHOW!!!!!!!!! ❤❤❤❤
Yessss
Yes pls
YES
My mom had pre-eclampsia! If any pregnant women see this comment KNOW YOUR BODY! My mom was going in for a routine check up and when they checked her blood pressure it was in the “normal” range. My mom has always had VERY low blood pressure and she had to beg the doctor to check her chart because they checked her blood pressure multiple times and it was normal every time. She insisted that it was too high and finally the doctor did check her previous blood pressure and the rest is a quick history of me being induced :P
This episode was ludicrously hilarious to me because as someone who’s chronically ill and in the hospital often I can barely see a nurse or get a Tylenol before they demand a pregnancy test. But sure, this person who’s gone through something as invasive as a bone marrow biopsy hasn’t been tested, lmao.
YES THIS LMAO
I’m constantly in the hospital and a pregnancy test is the FIRST thing they do lmao
By the time they figured out it was pre-eclampsia I'm pretty sure the girl's mother said "But the pregnancy test was negative" so it was asked about off screen, but the patient wasn't upfront about it. She said the test would still turn up positive in at least the first 4 weeks... my question is how in the world did they examine her vaginally bleeding without noticing she was postpartum??
@@BrightAsDawn My original comment was a joke lmao but you're totally right about the exam. I swear most of the people in House shouldn't have passed medical school lol
Having had an unnecessary bone marrow biopsy, would not recommend
@@IvoryValentine22 this, they would have failed horribly
I had preeclampsia with my oldest daughter, it was tough and I was hospitalized for 2 weeks before giving birth a month early…but we were both fine afterwards. Another awesome episode ♥️
Graduate student in my class: I didn't spend as much time as I wanted on my paper this week. My wife and I were at the doctor several times. She's pregnant and the baby is breech...I don't know if you're familiar with what that is.
My first response: I watch mama doctor jones. Of course I know what that is!
What I actually said: mmh-hmm, yes I am familiar.
You rock, mdj :)
I was a breech baby. Both my mum.and I are ok now. I hope your family is ok too.
house: never asks for a pregnancy test
my doctor knowing im a trans woman but biologically male : any chance youre pregnant?
Omg u win with that comment.
😂 that's one intelligent doc
steffany Smith I believe if someone identifies as a woman, they are obligated to ask you the same questions they ask women who are biologically female.
@@emisformusic3375 That would be a bit silly, wouldn't it? I'm all for respecting someone's identity - using the right pronouns etc. But asking pointless questions in a medical exam just seems like a waste of time and energy for everyone involved.
@@alessandrac1940 he was mostly being nice and joking at the same time haha
As a young female ANY TIME I’ve been to the ER they give me a pregnancy test
Exactly. They're so fast, easy and cheap now.
Yes I’ve had the same experiences
Same once a doctor looked at me caues I was over weight made me take 3 test then a ultrasound it was humiliating funny thing I was 14 and a virgin
Anime Logic i was dealing with a lot of doctors due to stomach issues and it got so bad I carried a negative one with me to the doctors just to be like “ no I’m not fucking pregnant “
I took my cousin to the ER for what appeared to be an aesmatha attack (no history) when she was 15, and atleast while I was there (they took her away for chest x-rays), they didn't ask her any questions about sexual activity or treat her for anything other than aesmatha....
I feel like they literally give you a pregnancy test EVERY time I've been in the hospital regardless of what was wrong with me. It's how I found out I was pregnant.
Right??
Like the only things I can get done without having to fill out my sexual history are MAYBE a routine dental cleaning and an eye exam. Even psychologists and therapists demand to KNOW even though they legally cannot prescribe anything.
Like. Bare minimum I can be asked about my last period/my sexual history 3 Times during a New Patient or Annual visit-once on the paperwork, at least once by a nurse or physician’s assistant or nurse practitioner (per individual who comes in), then once by the actual doctor.
It’s kinda ridiculous to be asked THAT many times (like I get WHY they have to ask. But that frequently? During the SAME visit? Buzz off. Especially since Not Once have I been referred to a gynecologist about having painful and heavy periods that often make me vomit, get numbness in my legs, and overall feel anemic. But sure. Ask me about my libido and apparently not believe me (really. Do y’all want me to shout that I’m ace? Don’t plan on having kids? C’MON.)
Some places do, and everyone should. I mean, they’re making you pee in a cup anyway.
@@professorbutters , doctor in-office pregnancy tests are very simple and fast. Open a pregnancy test kit. Add a few drops of urine. Turn on the timer. When the timer goes off, check to see the lines.
They did test the girl in the episode, the reason as to why it took them that long to figure it was eclampsia is because the test came back negative
You're not even joking. I've gone in and been like "I am a lesbian and also sterile due to a clotting disorder" and they're like "so could you be pregnant?" WHAT PART OF STERILE DO YOU NOT UNDERSTAND?
"They sure jump to treatments without knowing what's going on really quickly"
Welcome to the wondrous world of House M.D.
I started watching House about two weeks ago and you have no idea how happy I was when I saw this video! Love you MDJ!
I've seen all 8 seasons numerous times. It is an amazing show. I'm glad you like it so far
Like most series, it got over-the-top ridiculous in the last few seasons. It had damn good eps 1-5 imo. The resolution of House criminal charges was the end for me.
House gets all the cases other doctors can't figure out.
3 minutes in, MDJ: preeclampsia
The audience knew the answer and they threw it to her..
Isn't that in character for him? When you deal with so much crazy shit every day you can absolutely not notice a simple answer
Doc who did my hysterectomy: Any chance you're pregnant?
Me: hahaha Were you asleep in the or?
If you were pregnant, I'd demand a refund for that proceedure.
Concerning
That would concern me about what organ they took out.
ok i had an ovariectomy when i was 5 but never got that question from any doctor who knows my file ! God this is limit scary
"I don't know let me ask"
*pulls your uterus in a jar out of your bag, and proceeds to use it like a Magic Eight Ball*
I had the HELLP syndrome with my second pregnancy, so I understood what you were saying completely! The magnesium was so awful and thankfully, I was able to deliver my son safely at 34 weeks. Thank you for your opinion on this episode and pointing out the obvious question they should've asked first.
I haven’t told my family yet, but I’m gonna tell you strangers on the internet lol. I’m pregnant!!!! This is my first time and I’m super excited but low key terrified as well. 🤰
Edit: thank you all for the well wishes!!!! It means a lot to me 💜💜💜

I don’t understand why parents get so offended when you ask their 17 year old if there’s a chance. Like I’m sorry but it’s highly likely you don’t know what your child does when you aren’t around.

This video makes me wonder if all of the “difficult” cases on House were only so difficult because the drs were incompetent 🤦🏻♀️
The main theme is always everybody lies. Most people on the show lie to the doctors and the team figure it out.
Yeah MDJ calling it out right away 😂 oops House
They're only 'difficult' to make it more 'intersting' and suspenseful. But for people who have any kind of medical training, it makes this show unbearable to watch because we call out all the B.S. that it tries to pull just to get a bigger reaction out of the audience.
What angers me is that had this young lady been black, the first thing doctors ask is if she has been pregnant! I've been to the emergency room dozens of times and doctors ask me that! Likewise, a good girlfriend of mine had Aids. The doctor didn't test her for it, but I was!
fredrika27 they did a pregnancy test in the ER in the episode. Pay attention before you making false racism claims.

So glad I stood my ground with my gut bad feeling when I was pregnant. The Dr on call at our hospital that night said my symptoms were normal but I was gaining 10lbs a day suddenly. And I'm thankful my Dr got me in asap the next day because it was preeclampsia. Scares me to think how dangerous my situation was. Needless to say my kiddo wasnt born near my husbands birthday like expected. Came a lot earlier. Ive learned to trust my gut instinct on things since then.

The teen died and the lady doctor (Cuddy, I'm a House fan lol) adopted the baby. You watch her grow up through the series and I had always hoped there would be a scene where someone tells her about her birth mom cuz that's a wild story lol
I forgot did they find out who the dad is of the baby? Cause a friend of mine had to go to court to remove the paternal rights of father of the babies (triplets) she adopted. The court system is getting tough on making sure both parent give up the baby or at least a good faith effort is made to find both parents.
Yes it was the popular boy. It was a crush really, he cared about her. He agreed adoption would be best
Taylor Morden that’s crazy! In reality, the teen’s grieving parents would never have let go of their dead daughter’s baby.
I thought Cuddy adopted a drug addicts child? It's been a while since I watched though.
M D That episode called “Joy” (when House treats a father and daughter with Familial Mediterranean Fever), is when Cuddy almost adopts a drug user’s baby, but then she decides to clean up her life and raise the baby herself. This one comes several episodes later, “Joy to the World” (the pregnant teen first gets ill during a school Christmas program), and Cuddy adopts this baby instead. (Another House fan here, lol.)

On House, they treat without a definitive diagnosis ALL THE TIME. It's almost exclusively because it serves the drama of the show.
Susan Postma House should basically be called Ex juvantibus the show
@susan no doubt, but the redeeming factor in House is they established a universe where House founded a department that gets consulted solely to deal with complicated cases that have to solved against time.
That is reasonable grounds for suspension of disbelief
Yeah, let's not forget that it's a tv show. Things are gonna be dramatic and not 100% accurate.
If treatment works, thats definitive diagnosis. If it doesn't, well House will figure it out xD
@@whatsthecrux If treatment works, that is NOT a definitive diagnosis. Multiple diseases can have the same treatment. If the treatment works forever, that renders the question of diagnosis moot but does NOT guarantee that the diagnosis that led to that treatment was correct.
The very first House episode includes prescribing steroids based on a bad diagnosis. These steroids make the patient (Rachel Adler) feel better, which gets Cuddy off of House's back ... for a little while. Then the patient gets much worse, and the question of correct diagnosis has to be addressed all over again. It also confirms that that Cuddy was right to reject House's "treatment to confirm diagnosis" approach. It's an exact case study on the pitfalls of treatment as a means of diagnosis.
Last time I went to A&E, the nurse gave me a pregnancy test even though I told her I was 26 weeks pregnant!
Oh my goodness why?! 😂😂

well... maybe she was suspecting a miscarriage or something else. doctors sometimes conduct tests to confirm suspicions first before making you worry when considering a serious diagnosis. im not in the gynecologic field though, so its just a guess.
my doctor when i was literally 7: have you had any sexual activity and is there a chance you are pregnant?
me: wtf does that mean
this show: whats a pregnancy test?
how did they become doctors 😭
"That;s not your baby. You're tiny, no way you gave birth three weeks ago"
Me looking at photos of myself 5 days after the birth of my son going 'I'm literally the same size I was BEFORE I got pregnant'
Same! I thought: wtf, some are! 10 days after birth, I weighed 5 kilo's less then before my pregnancy! My baby was eating me #breastfeeding. :D (I gained 13 kilo's in pregnancy and lost 18 within the first 10 days after birth)
My sister in law is even skinnier now than she was before she gave birth lol breastfeeding really does the job
I read that you need more calories breastfeeding than when you are pregnant
@@krystal4378 First time I realized that, was through a feeding chart for cats, I saw at the veterinarian's office :)
I weighed 12 lbs LESS the day after my son was born than I did the day I got pregnant... Thank you Hyperemises 😒
Also, I had HELP syndrome during that pregnancy... Not one doctor explained what was going on and I was terrified the whole time. A completely different doctor, around the time my son was 3 and I was pregnant with my daughter, told me about it and was very specific about what we needed to do and watch out for during the second pregnancy.
Everyone is talking about how they didn’t do a pregnancy test, but at the end Cudie literally said they did a pregnancy test when she was admitted but it was negative because it was long enough after she had given birth.
They commented before the end of the video.
Also false negatives are a thing. In some women the hormones the pregnancy tests look for increase at a slower rate. Sometimes those pregnancies end in miscarriage, as they did for me, but sometimes such women go on to have healthy children. I've had 2 miscarriages and zero positive pregnancy tests thanks to that. Any doctor worth their salt should be aware that pregnancy tests can have false positives and false negatives. And also that some women keep bleeding for a surprising number of months during their pregnancies. The misconception that that's impossible may contribute to some cases of "I didn't know I was pregnant."
My inner monologue: “I haven’t slept yet and it is after 0600. Maybe it is time to try again. Ooooh, new MDJ video!”
I just came off night shift, about to go to sleep.. oh it's new MDJ Day!
Night Shifters Unite!!
Speaking of mean high school kids: I had a generally positive group of friends, and I still lied about my grades, pretended my grades were worse than they were, because I would get called an overachiever. Which was apparently a bad thing.
Why couldn't he lie about the "virgin" having a merged twin in her uterus which suddenly started developing? That would still be more plausible than parthenogenesis.
Александра Романова. But if it was a merged twin she... she wouldn’t give birth.... right?!
@@craigbainton4173 It was preserved within her in stagnation! And then reacted to hormones or something and implanted as a baby! It's a miracle! 😆
She can give birth to it in that, if it were merged within the uterus, it could theoretically be birthed from there if it started responding to hormones or growth stimuli (which the growth portion has been known to happen before - although specifically in the uterus I have not heard of, hence theoretically( But it is not, by any means, a viable birth. It’s just a stillborn parasite at that point.
@@craigbainton4173 I mean they're lying either way so why does it matter. The fiance is clearly stupid enough to believe anything.
The silly thing is he didn't save their marriage. The guy is going to notice pretty fast that the baby isn't an exact replica of the mom.
Id like to point out that the "virgin birth" thing was a fake on his side so as to not ruin the relationship of the couple.
He didn't care about the relationship though. He saved it as part a plot for him to win a bet with Wilson. The was made during a conversation between Wilson and House about how Wilson gets a lot of Christmas gifts from his patients every year, and the bet was that House would never be able to get a gift from a patient because he is literally incapable of both kindness and good bedside manners. So he deliberately deceived the boyfriend about the virgin birth and the girlfriend knew he was covering for her and sent him something as a gift to thank him, which he immediately used to shut Wilson up. Hell, House might've even made a deal with her before hand.
Yes, that was plainly shown.
I was drinking, but when I heard that I started cracking up and nearly choked on my water.
for no reason. she's already cheated and lied. that relationship won't last. and what if the baby is a different color from her fiance?
@@margaretjohnson6259 They wouldn't expect the baby to look like the fiancé. Parthenogenesis is asexual reproduction, there is no other genetic material involved to mak the baby than the mother's. The problem would be if the baby doesn't resemble the mother
I loved the show House. There were 2 reasons. I loved the interplay between all of the characters. I also loved learning about different diseases (not that the show explained them) by researching it on the internet. I agree with your statement about running all sorts of serious tests/therapies without further diagnosis.
Me: learning all about how to have a healthy pregnancy and birth. Me: is also asexual and not attracted to guys, so will never be pregnant
I mean, there are ways.
MRS Plays honestly I would rather adopt. I don’t want to be responsible for giving a human life
Relatable, but a rape baby is one of my worst fears, so here I am. (Also it's just interesting to learn new things, even if they squick me out.)
I like to learn about this stuff, but I never want to get pregnant myself. Would rather adopt.
Haha, so relatable 😂😂
My very first pregnancy I had signs of pre-eclampsia. This is the first time I have an actual explanation of this condition. Signs, symptoms , treatment and everything else. THANK YOU!!!!!
If House left his team to their own devices, they’d amputate slightly, bruised limbs... 😂
16:28 - thank you so much Mama Doctor Jones! I was seen in the Urgent Care not long after giving birth to my daughter because I thought I had Pre-eclampsia. They look at me like I was crazy and said this only occurs during pregnancy.
Someone needs to count how many times she said: ''Ask her when her last period was!''
Literally, every time I walk into a doctor's office they make me do a pregnancy test 😂
*8 months pregnant* Let's do a pregnancy test!
@@Tetra392 hahah! Right????
*is literally on period*
“could you be pregnant??”
At nearly 70 i ended up in the emergency room for A-fib. The nurse doing my history asks me, " Are you "still" post-menopausal? There was an audible thump as my confidence in care quality crashed. I replied that I didn't know the condition was reversible and if so, please don't.
Im almlst asked about possibly being pregnant but never been given a test actually.
Spoiler for those who wish to know what happens!
The mother actually passes away and Cuddy adopts the baby girl!
Really? Reminds me of a medical show where a black woman unfortunately passed away because nobody wanted to check out her health post-birth (the baby survived). I don't know the name but it was apparently based on/dedicated (?) to real life cases that happen like that. Either way, that sucks, as though there aren't enough pregnancy horror stories to be heard :/
The girl’s parents were young. It seems like they might have wanted the baby. But hey. Fiction.
Edit: I know it is fiction. I won’t delete the comment since there are so many replies, but I really didn’t mean it to be taken so seriously.
Doesn't surprise me that the teen died though, sadly. I know pregnancies are risky for adult women, much less someone who didn't even get to be 18 ... makes you really sad about irl cases like these, too.
@@carolsh1983 they didnt want the baby.
@@carolsh1983 They wanted the baby? What? Did you see how her dad reacted to her possibly taking those headache pills on her own? Possibly her mother, yes, but her father? I don't see it.
*Wow the fact that you solved the case 3 mins in without knowing it shows that you're an amazing doctor!*
House s3e19 is gynecological/hormonal involving a young kid and very interesting!! You should react to that one next!
Sam F is that the one where the dad is trying to KEEP up with the new girlfriend
What about episode 17, the one featuring maternal mirror syndrome?
Salene Brom yes!
Wolfqueen007 oooh THATS a good one too
Being fat means the bullying doesn't end at high school. Still happens in the 40's I've found. All through the years it never stops.
well why not trying to lose weight? If one doesn't have a disease that makes them put weight on there's no excuse for not losing weight.
No. We’re not talking about medical stuff (which is diagnosed based on tests on that specific patient by that patient’s doctor(s) and which the legal system in MDJ’s country and similar countries has decided is none of the general public’s business). We’re talking about regular people being dicks about what someone looks like, and MDJ herself, who is a doctor, condemned that in her video. So I don’t give a flying fart in space about what OP is or isn’t doing about their weight. People need to stop making fun of other people’s bodies. Period.
See your under the impression that High School ends high school never ends
Hi Monique F. I want to say i know what you mean but if im honest i cant pretend to know what it is like to be in your shoes. Just know that there are people out there trying to make changes by educating the average joe like myself, and also trying to bring more inclusivity to clothing lines and campaiging against fatphobic ads etc. One example is Meghan Jayne Crabbe who i learned about through her instagram account Bodyposipanda. She is just one of many. Hang in there, change is being worked on. Sending love and do your best not to let the pandemic cause any additional anxiety!
Monique F. ❤️❤️🙏🙏
