@@amine2947 *this* show? I started re-watching it but I couldn't. Give me Code Black. If somebody has to jump out of a helicopter on my medical show, at least let it be Rob Lowe.
I thought I was finished. ER had two active shooters. At least. And a lot more hostage episodes. And a woman set her card on fire (but it was suicide). To be fair, they *have* tried to kill Meredith more times than anyone on ER
pamelajaye All the medical dramas are overdone. Although I no longer practice medicine and I switched careers, I’ve always found all medical dramas to be a joke. Grey’s is the worst one. No residency would tolerate an attending and an intern/a resident to openly date. That’s a huge no no. They always make every episode a tragedy. Sorry, but that just doesn’t happen. Do active shooter events happen, yes, they do happen but not like medical dramas make it seem to be. As someone who completed a 4 year surgical residency in the mid 2000s, you don’t have time to sulk in your own drama the way Grey’s portrays it. You just don’t. You’re too busy in the OR, rounding on post op patients, seeing patients in clinic, and sometimes you have to eat on the run. I had two relationships fall apart during those 4 years. It takes a lot out of you. Trust me, I know.
When my mom was a nurse, angry patients would sometimes throw POOP at her. They called her horrible names and intentionally annoyed my mom and the other nurses. This is definitely an underrated issue that needs to be solved somehow.
That‘s really unfair. A doctor is only trying to help people get better，it‘s a job. Why are some patients treat doctors as if the patients are such a big deal and everything doctors do are just for fun？
It's the same issue as with customer service workers. There's just no one singular way to solve it. You can't control ordinary people and what they do. But yes, I think we shouldn't be afraid to ban people from places for abusing the staff there. But you can't exactly ban someone from a hospital so it's even more complicated.

Actually, he's just incredibly good looking, intelligent and articulate. But aside from that, there are a lot of things he does that remind me of me and my awkward friends before we got the degrees that gave us social status. To me, he looks like someone that is way better looking and popular than he believes he is, and that doesn't really know how to deal with it. He does seem like a geniunely kind person and a cool guy to hang out. But I think of him more as the best friend of the most popular guy in school than actually the most popular guy in school.
@@Splackavellie85 I think your first sentence was the definition of charisma. Attractiveness, check. Charm due to intelligence and articulation, check.
Austin Ellison Let me rephrase then: I don’t think he’s naturally charismatic. I think he is gifted enough in multiple way to exude charisma that doesn’t come naturally. I don’t think he’s the same as naturally charismatic people that not only thrive when they’re the center of attention, but actually love being there. I think he sees the attention as a means to an end, and not the end goal. Which, I think, is a much more positive trait to have.
@@justinz9225 No. A matte leon, which is the name of that technique is used to incapacitate your opponent. You can make somebody passout within 6 seconds if done correctly and guess what? It doesn't hurt, because all the pressure goes to the carotid arteries and not on the trachea.
I believe he is a doctor that stays calm in any situation 😉 I really hope if I end up in the hospital, there will be someone like him to treat me. He really genuinly wants to help ppl, is humane and empathic. I hope all new doctors are like that. Don't loose that dr Mike. Doctors here are mostly unempathic and want to work less as possible and see as much ppl they can within the hour, just to earn more money. If you enter an ER or hospital here, you turn into a number and empathy is gone. It's really sad.
please-excuse-my-nonsense code black is pretty good though haha. Back in Uni learning pharm, I learnt a couple of interesting things from watching it though. And verified a couple from checking up my resources
I wish these episodes were longer and more often. I feel like I'm watching real t.v. I laughed my butt off at this episode, seeing how frustrated you were really made me see how ridiculous these shows are 😂 I laughed with you and I cringed with you.
Doctor Mike Btw the very first video of yours that I saw, I thought you really looked like a Slav, anyone ever tell you that before they actually find out that you are? Gotta be one to notice one 🙋 😆
Doctor Mike I will say that you know what you are doing and it clearly works because you save lives, it’s your job. I admire doctors who have integrity and are humble. I’m debating where you fit. But you seem nice, maybe just maybe....there’s hope?
Every time I hear about the insurance problems in America I'm so shocked... I can't imagine living in fear to just even call an ambulance or not being able to get treated even though I'm sick or even have cancer... I'm glad that everyone in Germany has an insurance and I genuinely hope that will also be the case for the US one day
This ⬆️ I am so very grateful that I didn't move to America when I was young when I had the chance. Having to choose between your life or losing your home because of medical bills (this was a choice a cousin of mine had to face) or hesitating to call an ambulance when a life us in danger because of the cost is absolutely DISGUSTING!
Ya it really sucks. Cost $250,000 for me to be on hospital bed rest for 6 days and deliver my son. Then $500,000 for my son to be in the nicu for 47 days. We had to pay $16,000 of all that because it was our insurance deductible.
When I was in nursing school, some of these general lessons always stuck with me and they deal with severe emergency injuries and first aid for someone outside of a hospital until paramedics arrive. It’s great for everyday people to know too!: If it’s bent, don’t straighten it, if it’s straight, don’t bend it. If it’s sticking out, don’t push it back in, if it’s sticking in, don’t pull it back out. If it’s crushed between an object, don’t move the object and once you apply pressure to a severely bleeding wound, DO NOT TAKE THE PRESSURE OFF (no peeking to see if it’s stopped) UNTIL EMS/PARAMEDICS ARE THERE TO TAKE OVER. If it bleeds through the material you’re using, don’t remove it, just add more on top!
Great advices. I've taken a lot of advanced first aid courses because I work alone or in small groups in the wilderness, and I'd like to see a lot more basic first aid like you mention in your comment taught to the general populace, maybe to every HS student....and CPR!
I hate how in movies and tv shows there’s never any real consequences for punching people in the face. I wish I could just punch people in the face but I live in the real world
Self defense and aggression are two completely different situation; in this case, it was an aggression and i'm pretty sure that's what the person in the comment was referring to...
As a bonus, i can gave you an advice: a punch is not at all effective if you are defending yourself, because you are more likely to injury yourself than your aggressor. You should hit the person with the lower part of your palm (aka the part just above the juncture of the hand and the arm) and aim directly for the nose
The night shift might not be perfect with medical accuracy but this show was amazing with veterans. They regularly staffed veterans in their crew and cast. They even did an episode with a mostly veteran cast and crew. I'd love to see the review of that.
My dad had a heart defibrillator that shocked him multiple times because the wires inside of the defibrillator were faulty and he actually ended up being a part of a lawsuit because of it. It was a terrifying experience.
Watching this makes me so so glad I live in Australia where health care is free and hospitals are government funded. For those who don't have access to these services for free, I'm so sorry.
I live in France, I can't work at the moment because of a disability, so --> no money. I have chronic conditions and pay practically nothing for all the basic cares. I have to pay if I turn to "non-conventional" medicine, that the government doesn't recognize (which they will never do because it would cost far too much giving the amount of people who uses it ; and I'm not talking about weird stuff, just alternative medicine).
thanks for writing that! it was my first thought (greetings from socialist europe :D) i am shocked every time i'm confronted with this really inhumane fact about the us.
I work in cardiology - EP, and yes you can have a patient who gets repeatedly shocked, usually due to lead fractures/ improper programming of a device or a fib and in that case magnet could be indicated as it will deactivate the defibrillator, this is only short term solution until you can get a rep or cardiology to fully turn off/reprogram the ICD.
Michele Eslick Technically any “strong” magnet would work, however, in general practice we have specific magnets that look like doughnuts and are made by pacemaker manufacturers
In our services fiddling with the pacing/defib function is usually given to our pacemaker techs and electrophysiology consultants. If the patient was admitted to emergency I would probably leave it to the pacemaker technician to turn the ICD/CRT-D off if it is firing inappropriately because they should ideally do a run through and check the defib function. Especially if there's a chance that the ICD/CRT-D is also pacing, and if the patient is pacing dependent.... and putting someone into complete heart block wouldn't be very fun :/ (cus you know, not all patients know exactly what their implantable devices are doing)
네가탈덕할수있을꺼같아? Most of the time we do the same, magnet use by non cardiology should only be used in an emergency situations, but by placing a magnet you don’t actually turn off the device you just revert it to “factory settings”, in an ICD case, the magnet will inhibit shock therapy but it could still pace a patient, as soon as you take the magnet off the ICDs setting will revert to their original. Patients will carry everything except their pacemaker/ICD cards🙄🤣
Dr. Mike, the magnet trick really works! I learned it from my cardio rotation in Germany from my attending, had never heard of it before. Greetings from Berlin
When the defibrillator keeps going off this is an ACCURATE depiction of what it looks like and the team turning it off with a magnet is also accurate. My mother had an implanted defibrillator / pacemaker and she was in the hospital when it started to malfunction during a cardiac episode. It's exactly as depicted (the show actually tones down the violent nature of when it goes off). This is the only time I can honestly say I've ever seen this depicted in a TV show. Kudos to the producers.
Please give The Knick a try, it's a medical show in the early 1900's instead of a modern one, would be great to see what you think about it with it's earlier medical procedures and how they stack up.
10,000 this. I don't need Mike to tell me sir-gravel-throat here is as convincing as my "complete breakfast" cereal, it's clear this show is entirely made of nonsense. But seeing an older show compared to practices only 30 years old? That could be awesome.
I feel like this show is the equivalent of those cop or detective shows where the main guy gets away w everything bc he’s just *that* good at his job. Cool in fiction, but a terrifying idea in real life.
The magnet thing is real. My husband's grandfathers pacemaker had to be disabled when he was dying because it wouldn't stop shocking him when his heart would try to stop.
You said, "This show is not for medical folks." As a veteran I can assure you, it isn't for military folks either, haha. Your frustration with medical dramas is why I don't watch military shows/movies. Love your Reaction series :)
Agree! There is way too much healthcare worker abuse and nothing ever happens to the patient. If that happened anywhere else the attacker would be getting charged with assault.
He performs surgery on the side of the road and is fine I bring a guy in with the broken lower leg with two branches and duct taped to his leg to stabilize the break and the doctor yelled at me
When I was a paramedic in the ER, we had a patient come in with a defibrillator going crazy and shocking them every couple of minutes. It looked ridiculously painful. The magnet trick is exactly what the doc did, and it worked like a charm.
I'm just glad he reacted to it. I would like him a lot less if he had bad opinions about Drew because of his sexuality. Thankfully, he doesn't mind it.
I loved how you were trying to be positive even when it was very clear that you spent the entire episode being incredibly miffed lol. I will say, it was very endearing watching you struggle through this ;)
Agreed. Even as a civilian with no medical training (or oaths) there were moments that bothered me and that seemed to be driving Dr. Mike crazy :) . I suppose the drama that comes with those scenarios lets me to call that episode "interesting", but that's just one of a few adjectives I'd attach to it heh. I really prefer the more medically and ethically accurate shows he's watched before.
I appreciate you pointing out the abuse healthcare workers experience. I worked in a school and got physically and verbally assaulted almost daily. It’s not okay to treat people that way especially those who help others
THANK YOU for telling the world that "taking out the bullet" isn't the point. Easily one of the top misconceptions my trauma patients have. And lol at "we're losing him" -- said no doctor ever during a code. I totally agree they're trying to force some of this stuff - especially the repeated insurance discussions in the middle of patient care. 🤓
Yes totally!! Although one of my favorite trauma attendings in training did say "if we're going to save him we can't f*** around" during a bedside thoracotomy in our SICU - moments before doing a hilar twist. 🙊
You're good - exactly! Multiple gunshot wounds to the chest, leading to cardiac arrest requiring a bedside thoracotomy, and ultimately needing a hilar twist to help gain control of bleeding.
@Kevin Prima it's a doctoral degree, and judging from your comment, I assume you're neither one. Good for Katie for achieving the highest level possible in her field.
@Kevin Prima You need a crash course into history of education mate. You do realize that the doctoral degree is much older than medical doctors ? The title doctor was originally used to refer to someone with great expertise in theology or canon law (middle ages). It really had nothing to do with medical doctors up to very recently. So technically, she IS the real doctor.

I think I heard of a case where a child was internally decapitated in a car crash and survived. That person was a baby and while babies are small and soft they also have weird healing powers. But it seems like it's happened to older people that have survived as well.
My very first cadaver had a teratoma. It took me a good thirty seconds to realize what I was staring at - a nice shiny molar on this man's testicle. One of mt favorite moments ever. And the magnet trick, that is absolutely a thing. One of my favorite patients with a defibrillator implant kept his magnet on the fridge next to his bottle opener.
my great grandma was an ER nurse in the 70s-90s and has many crazy stories. one that blows my mind is when an administrator asked my grandma about a simple surgical procedure and the admin was not understanding and a was getting frustrated. my grandma said, “ if you’re interested, you’re welcome to watch in the O.R.” the lady then responded and said “i don’t care what happens in the O.R., it’s all about the money”. My grandma retired early because of this attitude in the hospital, and also because of the introduction of computers and their priority over patient care. Love this series !!
i know i’m late but my mom is a CNA and has experienced a lot of abuse from patients. basically no one talks about it! my mom has had patients pull her hair, slap her, kick her, pinch her, everything you can think of. healthcare worker abuse is real and it needs to be talked about more! so thank you doctor mike for speaking out against it :)
When I was a CNA, I was dropkicked by an elderly patient. It brought back memories when I watched the patent punch the guard out. I could write a book on how many times I didn't actually report abuse to myself, by a patient.
I worked as a security officer and eventually promoted to Sergeant for over 5 years. I could write several books for the amount of times I've been attacked, spit in my face, or seen nurses attacked. It might look bad but I didn't go easy on them in the moment. I've used choke holds and different types of leg trips and slams. In the moment, the safety of the staff was what I held above the patient, until the patient calmed down and no longer posed or acted as a threat, then I'd worry about their safety and health once more, but not while actively trying to permanently injure or kill medical staff.

Someone else probably said it already, but the magnet for the pacemaker is used to reset some pacemakers to factory settings or modify parameters when interrogating/during surgery. We keep a large circular magnet on our unit that is supposed to disable or affect PPMs/AICDs in some way during codes so that they don't keep shocking the patient and we can see underlying rhythms. I have never had to use the magnet, but I am told that is how it works.
Also used on palliative wards to verify that the person is passed, the magnet is placed on the pacemaker so the nurse can verify that there is no heart beat...
I'm a medical assistant who works under a dermatologist. We use the magnet occasionally to suspend defibrillators when using bovie cautery during mohs surgery. Unlikely to interfere, but better safe than sorry.
Working with one of the four internationally active manufacturers of pacemakers and defibrilllators for over 15 years, as far as I know, the magnet will temporarily disable pacemakers and some ICDs (not reset them - neither temporarily nor permanently) to factory settings.
Yes. Healthcare abuse is really bad. I worked as a security officer in local hospitals. In 9 years, I was hit, kicked, body slammed, and bit. When I left that field after achieving my MLT certification I had suffered 6 concussions and have Post Concussive Syndrome, TBI, increased migraines, and PTSD.
@@sexyhomeowner9345 I disagree "Gun shot wound" sounds more comforting to me than the acronym because I know what a gun shot would is, but maybe I didn't know what GSW stood for. Maybe it's just me over analysing, but I would be more worried if I heard three letter that I don't know the meaning of, then the common phrase.
you should react to the medical scenes from “Doctor Strange”. I mean it’s a superhero movie but there are a lot of interesting hospital and medical scenes.
Yeah it would be fun to see him do the first half of the movie. Or just the whole movie, but the video only includes the medical things or just something he thinks is funny
Please please please react to ep 2!! It is even more insane and all I kept thinking was "this hospital must be shut down immediately and everyone's medical licenses should be revoked!"
About the hippocratic oath, it reminds me of an episode of Private Practice (Grey's Anatomy spin-off) when the surgeon got informed that his pregnant daughter was in a car accident caused by a drunk driver (I think he was drunk) and that's when he realizes that the dude he's operating on is said driver... took him a minute to compose himself but he finished the operation as if nothing happened. I think most doctors would ask to be replaced cause even subconsciously they might want to kill the patient lol.
Something similar happened on Grey's Anatomy.There was an active shooter at the hospital who killed 2 doctors (from the main cast but so many more nurses and other staff members) and then offed himself. Soon after, there was another shooting at a college near the hospital, so nearly all the victims were sent there. It was soon after that they discovered that there were no more ORs available so the doctors checked on the patients being operated on. Turns out the shooter shot himself and they were fixing him up. This revelation caused half of his surgical team to back off while the remaining continued.
So this show is heavily military based because it takes place in San Antonio, Texas which is a big military city. If that helps y’all understand why it’s always about the doctors being in the military and makeshift stuff.
Ashley Garzza OK. I thought I remembered the Arizona location being mentioned in story lines, but there is no way I'm watching that series again to find out!
Literally my favorite medical show in the world. Still salty they cut it off at season 4, THERE WAS SO MUCH UNFINISHED BUSINESSES, also side note: my husband and I binged watched all of the real doctor reacts in just a few hours of even knowing about them👌🏼
Living in Europe seeing a doctor telling people that "there's probably some kind of charity program we can tap so you can see a doctor if you don't have insurance" is just baffling...
Same in Canada. When I got an exploded ectopic pregnancy with internal bleeding, I was in the operating room within 2 hours of diagnosis and I got out after 3 days with a big fat 0$ bill.
When the part about "coming out" came up you are right in everything you said. But he wasn't worried about coming out as a dr. He was worried about coming out because he's still in the military as well. The army isn't exactly "gay friendly". Not everytone in the army has an issue with it but some higher ups and even some in thier group don't want to fight with a "gay/bisexual" person. My best friend was treated horrendously in the army for being "gay". FYI.....I put "" because of the fact I don't believe in labels. But many others do

yeah most PCPs(Primary Care Physicians) are relatively cheap healthcare isn't as expensive as the media make it out be as there are tons are private organizations that will either cover the full cost of medical care or part of it.
In South Africa we have free healthcare, I can go sit in a queue at state hospital or clinic for up to 2 days before being seening anyone. Or I can go private doctor and pay $40, equivalent relative to US salaries levels it is actually closer $100. I have medical aid as I do not want to wait (and be charged in any case) for subpar care at state hospital but that only covers hospitalization (not ER visits). For that I pay 20% (after paying 50% tax to cover the universal healthcare system that doesn't work) of my salary. And now the government wants to make that illegal as well to force us all into the broken state system and pay for it. UK system is also close to collapse, healthcare in a lot of serious cases can be worse than a lot of African countries. Had family member almost die during childbirth due to the NHS not working. Bugger universal healthcare, if you do not live in a country where there is very very low poverty levels where everybody contributes it doesn't work like most other socialist principals good on paper crap in real life.
@@southsportsoutdoors7522 Where in America do you live where it's that cheap? I live In Louisiana and have lived in Mississippi and most clinics I visit the visits are like 75-90 bucks. Unless you have next to no income, in that case they do a sliding scale pay where it's only 10-20$. And then if they run any tests, like blood work, or give shots, you have to pay extra.
Exactly I live in the uk and the USA and other countries without free healthcare just gives me second hand embarrassment especially America cause they have the ability to do so, the ever long quest for money I guess
For transmitting maximum concussive force to an object, slapping is really good. A punch will have its force over a smaller area and would require good form to deliver said force efficiently.
My grandmother had a teratoma somewhere in her abdomen and it was full of teeth AND necrotic because its blood supply got cut off at some point. Doctor said it'd probably been growing there for a decade.
My high-school friend's brother went to the ER because he had a growth on his shoulder that suddenly got bigger. She was telling me the story how she and her family were in the waiting room and watched as what seemed like half the hospital med staff went running to the OR. No one was talking to them, and they were panicking. Then the Doctor came out and told them that the surgery went well, everything was going to be fine. The growth had teeth and hair and was the unborn twin. She said her Dad almost socked the doctor for having them worry and no one talking to them. I think her brother got to keep a tooth...
I've been turned down multiple times at different hospitals for not having insurance. I've also been charged more than $1000 for Tylenol. I've also been misdiagnosed for opiate intake when I was 17 and had never even seen an opiate. Doctor Mike, you've been lucky not to have seen the worst of the US healthcare system.
Perhaps doctors offices or faculty practices within the hospital but not emergency rooms - very very strictly enforced EMTALA laws prevent ERs from turning anyone away regardless of their ability to pay. This is why ERs are flooded with homeless people, drug seekers and people who cannot afford things like Tylenol or their BP medication. This is why, in turn, wait times are insane - people clogging the system with non emergencies, even though there is a triage system in place for that too. This is why almost every ER has some kind of "fast track" during certain peak hours for non emergencies, or they'll turn you away because there's nothing really they can do for your psoriasis besides refer you to an outpatient clinic or practice. Emergency rooms are for emergencies, people. Ever wonder why the person who can't breathe is being seen before your twisted ankle even after you've been sitting there for 3 hours longer? Even if they don't LOOK sick, trust me, they are, or they have other medical conditions (comorbidities) that will escalate quickly. It's an awful system, yes, but it's not as simple as universal healthcare at this point after so many years dominated by private insurance; there are social factors involved now and people have treated health insurance and medical care as commodities instead of necessities for far too long. Universal healthcare is great until you have to wait 3 months for a simple MRI, or you have the government deciding if you are a true candidate for a particular surgery. That said, there's no simple solution. I don't even pretend to know. -a former ER nurse
Hum you shouldn't be turned away for lack of insurance. I suppose you might be turned away if it was a non emergency? Anyway, when he mentions programs out there to help people in situations where they can't pay for care he doesn't mean the local er (although that can also have a program for self pay). Like he said, get in contact with local social workers that will know were you can go. Often there can be sliding scale clinics, mobel charity clinics, programs to get you on state health insurance. Things like that. Also, I've heard of a single dose of Tylenol being 15$, but not 1000$. In nursing school they explained that the "over pricing" of simple things like that is not to pay for just the pill, it also covers the doctor time for prescribing, the pharmacist time for double checking and filling the order, the nurse for double checking and retrieving the medicine, the nurses time for charting and assessing you for the need of said medication. Things like that all go into the pricing of medicine and items in a hospital. I assume different facilities can price things differently (for example one might have a set price per hour of stay and charge the normal price for meds, with supplies being calculated in the 'room' cost.) Anyway, pharmaceutical companies might inflate drug cost unethically for profit, but hospitals charging "extra" indicates the way the pay for the staffing and overhead of the hospital stay.
"Should" is not the real world. When living out of your car, there is no self-payment plan that works. I wish I could find and post the bill I got years ago for Tylenol, which has nothing whatsoever to do with filling a prescription, since it's an OTC that sits at the nurse's station. It was line itemized at 1000$ while I was in from a car accident - the same one that was claimed I was on opiates but had never seen them in my life. Two different ER's years later turned me down for care for not having insurance when I was hit as a pedestrian and another when on a scooter. You'll be turned down for State care and public assistance if you don't have a permanent address. The world is not "as it should be" when you're poor. In this shit country, money is literally life. It is this way not because of all the little people in the middle that need to get paid but because of the greedy assholes at the top who make millions for doing next to nothing. If the executives all go on vacation for a month, nobody bats an eye. If a line worker or even janitor calls in sick more than three days in a year, they get fired. Exec.'s are part-time employees who reap all the benefits from the work of entire companies, while they hire workers for less than full-time, specifically so they don't have to give them benefits. The same is true even in hospitals. This country is a horror show.
@@ascendantmadness347 our health care system is indeed messed, mostly due to profit seeking. However, do try to find your local free clinics or sliding scale clinics (if you are in your car it would likely be 0$ at the sliding scale but they usually have to see you once to get you in their system for drop in care). As an RN I must say there will always be those in the medical community that find time to donate care to these type of services. Keep a list, some will be limited days or mobile. Also figure out which if any hospitals in your area are state. State hospitals can't turn you away period, but private can if you don't have a life threatening condition. As it's been said, if it's a life threatening issue no hospital can turn you away. GL. law.freeadvice.com/malpractice_law/hospital_malpractice/hospital-patients.htm
some people are always victims and always find excuses. there are tons of benefits available to homeless people. Tylenol is something absolutely filled by a pharmacist at a hospital, and it requires an order even if it is OTC outside of the hospital.. it's not even Tylenol, it's acetaminophen, and it doesn't just "sit at the nurse's station." It's a little more complicated than you're making it out to be.

"and maybe the car will light on fire and possibly a active shooter" honestly it was a fair prediction for a medical show
No, that's ER
pamelajaye no that’s Grey’s Anatomy.
Anna Biotic okay, granted. But seriously, did you see the ER episode with the tank? I thought they were going to blow up Chicago in the finale.
I thought I was finished. ER had two active shooters. At least. And a lot more hostage episodes.
And a woman set her card on fire (but it was suicide).
To be fair, they *have* tried to kill Meredith more times than anyone on ER
pamelajaye All the medical dramas are overdone. Although I no longer practice medicine and I switched careers, I’ve always found all medical dramas to be a joke. Grey’s is the worst one. No residency would tolerate an attending and an intern/a resident to openly date. That’s a huge no no. They always make every episode a tragedy. Sorry, but that just doesn’t happen. Do active shooter events happen, yes, they do happen but not like medical dramas make it seem to be. As someone who completed a 4 year surgical residency in the mid 2000s, you don’t have time to sulk in your own drama the way Grey’s portrays it. You just don’t. You’re too busy in the OR, rounding on post op patients, seeing patients in clinic, and sometimes you have to eat on the run. I had two relationships fall apart during those 4 years. It takes a lot out of you. Trust me, I know.

When my mom was a nurse, angry patients would sometimes throw POOP at her. They called her horrible names and intentionally annoyed my mom and the other nurses. This is definitely an underrated issue that needs to be solved somehow.
That‘s really unfair. A doctor is only trying to help people get better，it‘s a job. Why are some patients treat doctors as if the patients are such a big deal and everything doctors do are just for fun？
I would’ve gotten fired on the spot if that happened to me…
It's the same issue as with customer service workers. There's just no one singular way to solve it. You can't control ordinary people and what they do. But yes, I think we shouldn't be afraid to ban people from places for abusing the staff there. But you can't exactly ban someone from a hospital so it's even more complicated.

To me, he looks like someone that is way better looking and popular than he believes he is, and that doesn't really know how to deal with it.
He does seem like a geniunely kind person and a cool guy to hang out. But I think of him more as the best friend of the most popular guy in school than actually the most popular guy in school.

I think your first sentence was the definition of charisma. Attractiveness, check. Charm due to intelligence and articulation, check.
Austin Ellison Let me rephrase then: I don’t think he’s naturally charismatic. I think he is gifted enough in multiple way to exude charisma that doesn’t come naturally. I don’t think he’s the same as naturally charismatic people that not only thrive when they’re the center of attention, but actually love being there. I think he sees the attention as a means to an end, and not the end goal.
Which, I think, is a much more positive trait to have.

He really genuinly wants to help ppl, is humane and empathic. I hope all new doctors are like that.
Don't loose that dr Mike.
Doctors here are mostly unempathic and want to work less as possible and see as much ppl they can within the hour, just to earn more money.
If you enter an ER or hospital here, you turn into a number and empathy is gone. It's really sad.

I am so very grateful that I didn't move to America when I was young when I had the chance. Having to choose between your life or losing your home because of medical bills (this was a choice a cousin of mine had to face) or hesitating to call an ambulance when a life us in danger because of the cost is absolutely DISGUSTING!

When I was in nursing school, some of these general lessons always stuck with me and they deal with severe emergency injuries and first aid for someone outside of a hospital until paramedics arrive. It’s great for everyday people to know too!:
If it’s bent, don’t straighten it, if it’s straight, don’t bend it.
If it’s sticking out, don’t push it back in, if it’s sticking in, don’t pull it back out.
If it’s crushed between an object, don’t move the object and once you apply pressure to a severely bleeding wound, DO NOT TAKE THE PRESSURE OFF (no peeking to see if it’s stopped) UNTIL EMS/PARAMEDICS ARE THERE TO TAKE OVER. If it bleeds through the material you’re using, don’t remove it, just add more on top!
Great advices. I've taken a lot of advanced first aid courses because I work alone or in small groups in the wilderness, and I'd like to see a lot more basic first aid like you mention in your comment taught to the general populace, maybe to every HS student....and CPR!
You got soooooo frustrated in this 🤣

Jager Meister depends on the situation
Vol de Mort yeah but what if your defending yourself such as in this situation
Self defense and aggression are two completely different situation; in this case, it was an aggression and i'm pretty sure that's what the person in the comment was referring to...
As a bonus, i can gave you an advice: a punch is not at all effective if you are defending yourself, because you are more likely to injury yourself than your aggressor. You should hit the person with the lower part of your palm (aka the part just above the juncture of the hand and the arm) and aim directly for the nose

Watching this makes me so so glad I live in Australia where health care is free and hospitals are government funded. For those who don't have access to these services for free, I'm so sorry.
Australia is also really strict with abusing workers
I live in France, I can't work at the moment because of a disability, so --> no money.
I have chronic conditions and pay practically nothing for all the basic cares.
I have to pay if I turn to "non-conventional" medicine, that the government doesn't recognize (which they will never do because it would cost far too much giving the amount of people who uses it ; and I'm not talking about weird stuff, just alternative medicine).
thanks for writing that! it was my first thought (greetings from socialist europe :D)
i am shocked every time i'm confronted with this really inhumane fact about the us.
I thought the same thing (UK) but you worded it far more eloquently
Come to Frankston hospital, every 10 minutes Code Grey.
I work in cardiology - EP, and yes you can have a patient who gets repeatedly shocked, usually due to lead fractures/ improper programming of a device or a fib and in that case magnet could be indicated as it will deactivate the defibrillator, this is only short term solution until you can get a rep or cardiology to fully turn off/reprogram the ICD.
During end of life care we place the magnet over the pacer as well.
Any magnet or is it a special magnet?
Michele Eslick Technically any “strong” magnet would work, however, in general practice we have specific magnets that look like doughnuts and are made by pacemaker manufacturers
In our services fiddling with the pacing/defib function is usually given to our pacemaker techs and electrophysiology consultants. If the patient was admitted to emergency I would probably leave it to the pacemaker technician to turn the ICD/CRT-D off if it is firing inappropriately because they should ideally do a run through and check the defib function. Especially if there's a chance that the ICD/CRT-D is also pacing, and if the patient is pacing dependent.... and putting someone into complete heart block wouldn't be very fun :/ (cus you know, not all patients know exactly what their implantable devices are doing)
네가탈덕할수있을꺼같아? Most of the time we do the same, magnet use by non cardiology should only be used in an emergency situations, but by placing a magnet you don’t actually turn off the device you just revert it to “factory settings”, in an ICD case, the magnet will inhibit shock therapy but it could still pace a patient, as soon as you take the magnet off the ICDs setting will revert to their original. Patients will carry everything except their pacemaker/ICD cards🙄🤣
Dr. Mike, the magnet trick really works! I learned it from my cardio rotation in Germany from my attending, had never heard of it before. Greetings from Berlin
He is really really charming. Polite, neat, witty, seems very sensible ...omg, it's just very pleasant to watch
“Maybe there’ll be an active shooter”
there actually was one in a greys anatomy episode but I don’t remember which episode it was.
bianca g and chicago med
excellent episode, tho. not sure how medically accurate everything was, but the acting was outstanding.
House got shot once, although considering what comes out of his mouth, I’m surprised it didn’t happen on the regular...

Why do I find this so funny 🤣
I love it when he says that❤❤❤❤
That’s what my brother says to his girlfriend l,ao
Ah, someone else with that Avatar App
i find it adorable asfffffff
Hahaha I was thinking the same
When the defibrillator keeps going off this is an ACCURATE depiction of what it looks like and the team turning it off with a magnet is also accurate. My mother had an implanted defibrillator / pacemaker and she was in the hospital when it started to malfunction during a cardiac episode. It's exactly as depicted (the show actually tones down the violent nature of when it goes off). This is the only time I can honestly say I've ever seen this depicted in a TV show. Kudos to the producers.
Please give The Knick a try, it's a medical show in the early 1900's instead of a modern one, would be great to see what you think about it with it's earlier medical procedures and how they stack up.
This is a good idea. To the top!
10,000 this.
I don't need Mike to tell me sir-gravel-throat here is as convincing as my "complete breakfast" cereal, it's clear this show is entirely made of nonsense.
But seeing an older show compared to practices only 30 years old? That could be awesome.
That TV-show was gold, sadly cancelled.
I worked as a telemetry nurse for many years. The magnet technique for shutting of a defibrillator is 100% accurate
I never realized that so many hospital shows existed. You should do General Hospital. It’s the longest soap opera in existence.

The magnet thing is real. My husband's grandfathers pacemaker had to be disabled when he was dying because it wouldn't stop shocking him when his heart would try to stop.
True the magnet will act like restarting a computer by pulling the plug then reconnecting it
Don’t think it can be just any magnet laying around but then again I think he was just kidding about that part.

Agreed. Even as a civilian with no medical training (or oaths) there were moments that bothered me and that seemed to be driving Dr. Mike crazy :) .

You're good - exactly! Multiple gunshot wounds to the chest, leading to cardiac arrest requiring a bedside thoracotomy, and ultimately needing a hilar twist to help gain control of bleeding.

@Kevin Prima You need a crash course into history of education mate. You do realize that the doctoral degree is much older than medical doctors ?

my great grandma was an ER nurse in the 70s-90s and has many crazy stories. one that blows my mind is when an administrator asked my grandma about a simple surgical procedure and the admin was not understanding and a was getting frustrated. my grandma said, “ if you’re interested, you’re welcome to watch in the O.R.” the lady then responded and said “i don’t care what happens in the O.R., it’s all about the money”. My grandma retired early because of this attitude in the hospital, and also because of the introduction of computers and their priority over patient care. Love this series !!

When I was a CNA, I was dropkicked by an elderly patient. It brought back memories when I watched the patent punch the guard out. I could write a book on how many times I didn't actually report abuse to myself, by a patient.
I worked as a security officer and eventually promoted to Sergeant for over 5 years. I could write several books for the amount of times I've been attacked, spit in my face, or seen nurses attacked. It might look bad but I didn't go easy on them in the moment. I've used choke holds and different types of leg trips and slams. In the moment, the safety of the staff was what I held above the patient, until the patient calmed down and no longer posed or acted as a threat, then I'd worry about their safety and health once more, but not while actively trying to permanently injure or kill medical staff.

Someone else probably said it already, but the magnet for the pacemaker is used to reset some pacemakers to factory settings or modify parameters when interrogating/during surgery. We keep a large circular magnet on our unit that is supposed to disable or affect PPMs/AICDs in some way during codes so that they don't keep shocking the patient and we can see underlying rhythms. I have never had to use the magnet, but I am told that is how it works.
Also used on palliative wards to verify that the person is passed, the magnet is placed on the pacemaker so the nurse can verify that there is no heart beat...
I'm a medical assistant who works under a dermatologist. We use the magnet occasionally to suspend defibrillators when using bovie cautery during mohs surgery. Unlikely to interfere, but better safe than sorry.
Working with one of the four internationally active manufacturers of pacemakers and defibrilllators for over 15 years, as far as I know, the magnet will temporarily disable pacemakers and some ICDs (not reset them - neither temporarily nor permanently) to factory settings.
Yes. Healthcare abuse is really bad. I worked as a security officer in local hospitals. In 9 years, I was hit, kicked, body slammed, and bit. When I left that field after achieving my MLT certification I had suffered 6 concussions and have Post Concussive Syndrome, TBI, increased migraines, and PTSD.
But saying GSW has more syllables than saying Gun Shot Wound. So inefficient.
But it sounds less dramatic and potentially alarming, especially front of patients.

"Gun shot wound" sounds more comforting to me than the acronym because I know what a gun shot would is, but maybe I didn't know what GSW stood for. Maybe it's just me over analysing, but I would be more worried if I heard three letter that I don't know the meaning of, then the common phrase.
I thought they said GSWW and I was confused, "he has a girl scouts of western Washington?"
Be human first....what an amazing point u just made Doctor Mike!👍
Aabha Kulkarni s
Dr. Mike, here's why i look forward to your weekly videos: they're helpful, and keep me healthy. More doctors should be like you!😀👍👍
Fu MAURICE im gonna feed you with junk food now
then u start to realize he isnt all "friendly" like u see him in the videos when u see him in real life
Zan Mathews have you seen him irl?
Tomatoes are Vegetables yeah.Breathing problems.Hes not mean but...im just saying.Hes alot more serious and quiet in real life
Zan Mathews woah. Where’d you meet him?
3:17 are we gonna ignore where did the security guard disappeared too? Because he wasn't the guy that dude punched.
I'm going to have nightmares about arm teeth tonight lol
me too.
Eh, I've seen that anime.
Let's hope they're only in your arm. :)
lol Yea when he said that it made my skin crawl
Your so funny 😂
you should react to the medical scenes from “Doctor
Strange”. I mean it’s a superhero movie but there are a lot of interesting hospital and medical scenes.
bonus round (just for fun and giggles) about the mystical stuff as well?
Yeah it would be fun to see him do the first half of the movie. Or just the whole movie, but the video only includes the medical things or just something he thinks is funny
Yes, Doctor Strange! Please! :D
AbsolX Guardian yeah i think there is the most medical stuff in the beginning, but there’s some close to the end too
Benzaiten that would be cool too. it’s a really cool movie with awesome visuals!!
"She wuvs him." 😂😂
Please please please react to ep 2!! It is even more insane and all I kept thinking was "this hospital must be shut down immediately and everyone's medical licenses should be revoked!"
“she woves him” is my favorite line he has ever said
About the hippocratic oath, it reminds me of an episode of Private Practice (Grey's Anatomy spin-off) when the surgeon got informed that his pregnant daughter was in a car accident caused by a drunk driver (I think he was drunk) and that's when he realizes that the dude he's operating on is said driver... took him a minute to compose himself but he finished the operation as if nothing happened. I think most doctors would ask to be replaced cause even subconsciously they might want to kill the patient lol.
Something similar happened on Grey's Anatomy.There was an active shooter at the hospital who killed 2 doctors (from the main cast but so many more nurses and other staff members) and then offed himself. Soon after, there was another shooting at a college near the hospital, so nearly all the victims were sent there. It was soon after that they discovered that there were no more ORs available so the doctors checked on the patients being operated on. Turns out the shooter shot himself and they were fixing him up. This revelation caused half of his surgical team to back off while the remaining continued.
Lady of Darkness That happened on ER too
It happened on House MD too
Or the nazi on Grey's S1 whose chest they slashed through! (The rest of that episode was so sad tho)
Noor Semrani what episode?
So this show is heavily military based because it takes place in San Antonio, Texas which is a big military city. If that helps y’all understand why it’s always about the doctors being in the military and makeshift stuff.
One of the reasons I loved the show! I miss Ft. Sam.
I thought they were in the middle of no Arizona, hundreds of miles from a level 1 trauma center.
Nida Lloyd no it’s SA. They show the city line and a few times they show actual places here.
Ashley Garzza OK. I thought I remembered the Arizona location being mentioned in story lines, but there is no way I'm watching that series again to find out!
Nida Lloyd they filmed in New Mexico. 😂
Literally my favorite medical show in the world. Still salty they cut it off at season 4, THERE WAS SO MUCH UNFINISHED BUSINESSES, also side note: my husband and I binged watched all of the real doctor reacts in just a few hours of even knowing about them👌🏼
Living in Europe seeing a doctor telling people that "there's probably some kind of charity program we can tap so you can see a doctor if you don't have insurance" is just baffling...
We hate it too :/ it's so barbaric in America.
Australia, too.
Yea, but we have free speach and can watch tv for free so its give and take.
Same in Canada. When I got an exploded ectopic pregnancy with internal bleeding, I was in the operating room within 2 hours of diagnosis and I got out after 3 days with a big fat 0$ bill.
@@alext5497 Yea... Free speech is everywhere in Europe. And comparing free TV to healthcare... (Unless it was irony, in which case it's a good one)
When the part about "coming out" came up you are right in everything you said. But he wasn't worried about coming out as a dr. He was worried about coming out because he's still in the military as well. The army isn't exactly "gay friendly". Not everytone in the army has an issue with it but some higher ups and even some in thier group don't want to fight with a "gay/bisexual" person. My best friend was treated horrendously in the army for being "gay".
FYI.....I put "" because of the fact I don't believe in labels. But many others do
I'm guessing this was back in the 'dont ask don't tell' era. I was going to comment the same thing. My husband is military and thankfully it seems to be getting a lot better for our LGBTQ community.
Yes, there's backstory to this comment that Dr Mike not aware of.
I don't understand the not believing in labels part. If someone's this or that and there's a label for that, that's what you call em. What's wrong with that? They're just that, labels
@@PolrisTired Someone described it to me that when you label something you make it part of your identity, and for something that’s fluid like sexuality, it can be painful to have that label change because it feels like you didn’t have a good grasp on a major part of yourself
@@emmasimmons9150 As someone who's bisexual and also open minded to most other concepts of sexuality, I agree with you on that. And that's your view point as well. And with how blown out it is today with the media news coverage and everything else, it really is confusing for the younger generation that are trying to find themselves and they're sadly caught up in the political plans. At least in the U.S
WHAT! I knew surgery wasn't free in the US but you have to pay just to see a normal doctor?? That's messed up.
yeah most PCPs(Primary Care Physicians) are relatively cheap healthcare isn't as expensive as the media make it out be as there are tons are private organizations that will either cover the full cost of medical care or part of it.
A standard doc visit only cost 15-20$. It’s very cheep.
To see my doctor it's $35 a visit.
In South Africa we have free healthcare, I can go sit in a queue at state hospital or clinic for up to 2 days before being seening anyone.
Or I can go private doctor and pay $40, equivalent relative to US salaries levels it is actually closer $100.
I have medical aid as I do not want to wait (and be charged in any case) for subpar care at state hospital but that only covers hospitalization (not ER visits). For that I pay 20% (after paying 50% tax to cover the universal healthcare system that doesn't work) of my salary. And now the government wants to make that illegal as well to force us all into the broken state system and pay for it.
UK system is also close to collapse, healthcare in a lot of serious cases can be worse than a lot of African countries. Had family member almost die during childbirth due to the NHS not working.
Bugger universal healthcare, if you do not live in a country where there is very very low poverty levels where everybody contributes it doesn't work like most other socialist principals good on paper crap in real life.
@@southsportsoutdoors7522 Where in America do you live where it's that cheap? I live In Louisiana and have lived in Mississippi and most clinics I visit the visits are like 75-90 bucks. Unless you have next to no income, in that case they do a sliding scale pay where it's only 10-20$. And then if they run any tests, like blood work, or give shots, you have to pay extra.
Kinda wish u did more night shift reactions it’s one of my favourite shows ngl 😂
I had no idea there were so many medical dramas....
Sara Angel well now you do
It's probably the one of the most popular genres of TV next to cop procedurals.
11:09 "she woves him" lmao!!!
Chicago MED
Really great!
Yassss please review this one. I read that chicago Med makes medical accuraccy one of their goals. I would like to see if that is true.
Please review this show, Doctor!! As an aspiring nurse, I really enjoying hearing a practicing physician’s opinion on these shows!
A lot of us have been asking for a Chicago Med review for weeks and weeks, I give up.
_"..you don't have insurance."_ *doesn't happen in other western countries tho'*
just sayin'
Exactly, universal healthcare works great in every other developed nation and it’s the only moral thing to do. 🤷♂️
Yep, at worst you don't have hospitality insurance and then you just pay for the room and room service in small Parts (which isn't that expensive)
Exactly I live in the uk and the USA and other countries without free healthcare just gives me second hand embarrassment especially America cause they have the ability to do so, the ever long quest for money I guess
Best part: “She wuvs him!”
“Well you’re not very even you got knocked out by a slap and you punched him in the face and he laughed” 😂 I love it
For transmitting maximum concussive force to an object, slapping is really good. A punch will have its force over a smaller area and would require good form to deliver said force efficiently.
I almost threw my phone at “teeth in your arm”
That’s horrifying. Like. Really, really horrifying.
u won't see it it will be inside the tumer
Terratomas are horrifying in a weirdly cool way
Terratomas are horrifying and I find them awesome! There was a case where a man had a terratoma in his testicle and it was filled with teeth!
My grandmother had a teratoma somewhere in her abdomen and it was full of teeth AND necrotic because its blood supply got cut off at some point. Doctor said it'd probably been growing there for a decade.
My high-school friend's brother went to the ER because he had a growth on his shoulder that suddenly got bigger. She was telling me the story how she and her family were in the waiting room and watched as what seemed like half the hospital med staff went running to the OR. No one was talking to them, and they were panicking. Then the Doctor came out and told them that the surgery went well, everything was going to be fine. The growth had teeth and hair and was the unborn twin. She said her Dad almost socked the doctor for having them worry and no one talking to them. I think her brother got to keep a tooth...
I've been turned down multiple times at different hospitals for not having insurance. I've also been charged more than $1000 for Tylenol. I've also been misdiagnosed for opiate intake when I was 17 and had never even seen an opiate. Doctor Mike, you've been lucky not to have seen the worst of the US healthcare system.
Perhaps doctors offices or faculty practices within the hospital but not emergency rooms - very very strictly enforced EMTALA laws prevent ERs from turning anyone away regardless of their ability to pay. This is why ERs are flooded with homeless people, drug seekers and people who cannot afford things like Tylenol or their BP medication. This is why, in turn, wait times are insane - people clogging the system with non emergencies, even though there is a triage system in place for that too. This is why almost every ER has some kind of "fast track" during certain peak hours for non emergencies, or they'll turn you away because there's nothing really they can do for your psoriasis besides refer you to an outpatient clinic or practice. Emergency rooms are for emergencies, people. Ever wonder why the person who can't breathe is being seen before your twisted ankle even after you've been sitting there for 3 hours longer? Even if they don't LOOK sick, trust me, they are, or they have other medical conditions (comorbidities) that will escalate quickly. It's an awful system, yes, but it's not as simple as universal healthcare at this point after so many years dominated by private insurance; there are social factors involved now and people have treated health insurance and medical care as commodities instead of necessities for far too long. Universal healthcare is great until you have to wait 3 months for a simple MRI, or you have the government deciding if you are a true candidate for a particular surgery. That said, there's no simple solution. I don't even pretend to know.
-a former ER nurse
Hum you shouldn't be turned away for lack of insurance. I suppose you might be turned away if it was a non emergency? Anyway, when he mentions programs out there to help people in situations where they can't pay for care he doesn't mean the local er (although that can also have a program for self pay). Like he said, get in contact with local social workers that will know were you can go. Often there can be sliding scale clinics, mobel charity clinics, programs to get you on state health insurance. Things like that. Also, I've heard of a single dose of Tylenol being 15$, but not 1000$. In nursing school they explained that the "over pricing" of simple things like that is not to pay for just the pill, it also covers the doctor time for prescribing, the pharmacist time for double checking and filling the order, the nurse for double checking and retrieving the medicine, the nurses time for charting and assessing you for the need of said medication. Things like that all go into the pricing of medicine and items in a hospital. I assume different facilities can price things differently (for example one might have a set price per hour of stay and charge the normal price for meds, with supplies being calculated in the 'room' cost.) Anyway, pharmaceutical companies might inflate drug cost unethically for profit, but hospitals charging "extra" indicates the way the pay for the staffing and overhead of the hospital stay.
"Should" is not the real world. When living out of your car, there is no self-payment plan that works. I wish I could find and post the bill I got years ago for Tylenol, which has nothing whatsoever to do with filling a prescription, since it's an OTC that sits at the nurse's station. It was line itemized at 1000$ while I was in from a car accident - the same one that was claimed I was on opiates but had never seen them in my life. Two different ER's years later turned me down for care for not having insurance when I was hit as a pedestrian and another when on a scooter. You'll be turned down for State care and public assistance if you don't have a permanent address.
The world is not "as it should be" when you're poor. In this shit country, money is literally life. It is this way not because of all the little people in the middle that need to get paid but because of the greedy assholes at the top who make millions for doing next to nothing. If the executives all go on vacation for a month, nobody bats an eye. If a line worker or even janitor calls in sick more than three days in a year, they get fired. Exec.'s are part-time employees who reap all the benefits from the work of entire companies, while they hire workers for less than full-time, specifically so they don't have to give them benefits. The same is true even in hospitals. This country is a horror show.
@@ascendantmadness347 our health care system is indeed messed, mostly due to profit seeking. However, do try to find your local free clinics or sliding scale clinics (if you are in your car it would likely be 0$ at the sliding scale but they usually have to see you once to get you in their system for drop in care). As an RN I must say there will always be those in the medical community that find time to donate care to these type of services. Keep a list, some will be limited days or mobile. Also figure out which if any hospitals in your area are state. State hospitals can't turn you away period, but private can if you don't have a life threatening condition. As it's been said, if it's a life threatening issue no hospital can turn you away. GL. law.freeadvice.com/malpractice_law/hospital_malpractice/hospital-patients.htm
some people are always victims and always find excuses. there are tons of benefits available to homeless people. Tylenol is something absolutely filled by a pharmacist at a hospital, and it requires an order even if it is OTC outside of the hospital.. it's not even Tylenol, it's acetaminophen, and it doesn't just "sit at the nurse's station." It's a little more complicated than you're making it out to be.
this mans livin the life.
doctor paycheck and that UA-cam money
I'm going to keep saying Chicago Med until you do Chicago Med haha
LilMissDiscord ditto
YES
3:22
wtf why is that doctor such a badass
like did he learn how to fight like that in medical school or something?!!?
