Michael J. Fox is SOOO good in that hand-washing scene. One of the best acting performances in the series, in my opinion. 😎
it was to shield his (real) condition, they gave him free hand so to play however he wanted and this is what he came up with. He is so professional, that you can’t even notice his disease if you don’t know what to look for.
He stated some time ago that he wanted to do justice to this condition due to his own struggles. I really miss his acting. His work on Spin City was fantastic. interestingly enough, that series was also created and directed by Bill Lawrence. If you're a fan of that series you'll notice that most of the main cast of Spin City has had at least one cameo on Scrubs.@
No joke, this is the only scene in any tv show that accurately expresses how OCD makes me feel. Watching it for the first time was surreal.
😎As someone diagnosed with OCD, I’ve always appreciated this depiction, I feel it really helps show the frustration involved, and is a more realistic depiction vs the typical “oh I’m so OCD and quirky and like organization lol” we usually see in media.
Wondering what your thoughts on Monk (TV show) are?
@@rahbeeuh I always disliked Monk's depiction of the disease because it's simply too much on the quirky side of things. All patients with OCD I've ever seen have really suffered from it and for most of them it's a huge burden. The depiction in Monk makes it seem like it's a superpower with some downsides when in reality it's a HUGE drag on most patients' lives and those who still excel do it despite OCD, not because of it.
The common Hollywood depiction of diseases like OCD and autism create expectations like "Oh, you have autism, therefore you must be good at maths.", which I find really problematic.
Scrubs at least showed a few horrible moments caused by the disease but it still leaves out the fact that most people suffering from OCD are not genius doctors with multiple specialties but very normal people with a disease that prevents them from leading a normal life.
@@B20C0 I really appreciate your insight. Monk is my fave show but I know it has it's flaws. According to the showrunner, Monk is an exaggeration of OCD. He even mentioned that no one with OCD is actually like Monk which I appreciate. I, too am not a fan of the disability= superpower aspect portrayed in media.
I'm on the lighter side of OCPD and I absolutely despise it when people throw around dinner table diagnoses like that. My boss, who I otherwise am good friends with, used to accuse me of "being OCD" when I set up tables at right angles. She stopped after I explained that I like to do things correctly. I've been working there since 2017.
@@DragonTigerBoss idk OCPD was a thing until today or rather I should say idk the appropriate name for it til today (12/05/2021). Thanks for sharing this!
It's amazing how the Parkinsons effects were worked into the character allowing for an amazing performance from Mr. Fox. His character will remain one of my favorite non-recurring characters.
Its a testament to how great of an actorr he is. He is a master at his craft. Definitely among the greatest in history.
The hand washing scene brings some tears to my eyes, the frustration that has nowhere to go but out is so impactful.
Look, I can attest. Having nervous ticks. Checking the power state of a wire I've handled eleven damn times knowing it's unhooked and I'm the only other person in the room and there is no way it could have power, checking to see if the oven is off physically, even though I've got an app that says when it's on and off *actively* at least six times a day. Checking where the windows and doors are in every room I go to, even if I've been there before, just in case. It's utter hell. I know it's not needed, I know it's wrong, I know it's insane, but I CANNOT. NOT. DO. IT. Thank god I've mellowed out more in my older age, but it drove me to tears and frustration, as well as another thing I cannot mention otherwise youtube will put me in the no-no corner, but know it rhymes with Shelf Parm. (That was a long time ago now, I'm way better now.) It's unreal, and that scene is downright cathartic.
Interesting fact. Zach Braff one of the main characters, JD, was diagnosed with severe OCD as a child. Something he apparently still deals with today.
that sorta explains why this is the most grounded depiction of OCD in a Holly series
Fun fact: It was actually mentioned in the director's cut of this episode that the directors made NO mention of Michael being the spin city cameo for the episode (there were spin city cameos throughout scrubs because they director worked on that show too). The shock on their face was genuine that he came out of retirement just for them. And why no camera was on them for as long as it was cause they couldn't keep a straight face
That line "This is a weak moment, nobody is supposed to see this." has always stuck with me.
I suffer from a neurological condition (undiagnosed, though not for want of consulting specialists) which causes episodic pain attacks. Essentially, every few months I'll be hit with a burning sensation in my shoulder and neck which more or less drives out coherent thought whilst I scratch at the area. And a couple of times these have hit whilst I was at work, so I kinda hid myself in a cubicle whilst riding it out. So yeah, highly relate to Kevin Casey in those moments.
On the one hand it's a bad message: disability pride, we shouldn't hide who we are and all that. But on the other hand, the me in that moment isn't me except for 30min every few months, and I don't want or need anyone seeing me as that person the other 99.977% of the time.
There's nothing to be ashamed of, but i feel like this whole "xyz pride" thing is getting to a unhealthy point too. It's not "a bad message" to not want to be seen in a state of weakness. You shouldn't be judged either way, it's your life and noone should get to tell you that you have to keep it a secret or that you have to parade it around.
Do you really think the message of the final scene was hiding one's disability?
I know the feeling. I am macrophallic with satyriasis and bouts of acute priapism. I hate it.
I totally y get it. I mean, i don't have OCD, but i my life has been taken over and fairly crippled by ms and, yeah, there are definitely things i don't want people to watch. But i love this episode, feels very disability proud.
I have a history with sh, and I was never ashamed about it, but I always covered it up. When I had wounds or didn’t, I always covered that area. Because I wasn’t ashamed, I just didn’t want to have a conversation about it. There’s a difference between “secret” and “private”.
When I worked with children, I always wore a hat, because my hair will be curly or straight or frizzy or limp with no ability to influence it. Children will always point it out, and I just didn’t want to have a conversation about it. There was certainly no shame.
When I have a panic attack at work I hide, because I REALLY don’t want to have a conversation, I’m busy.
In the beginning you said the depiction of OCD would probably be quite bad, I was hoping you would reflect on that at the end. What did you think about how they showed Dr Kevin Caseys OCD?
I agree, there should be a clarification after seeing the depiction. From my very limited exposure to the condition, it seems fairly accurate, even if a bit too "broad".
Uhhh, I would love to know the doc's opinion on this after watching the whole episode
As an OCD person, it's not perfect, but it's more or less the best I've seen. And like most scrubs stuff there's a few technical imperfections but the heart of it hits home to those who have been there.
But, I'm "Pure O", so not a lot of outward visible compulsions. I'm just sort of, generally dysfunctional and get shut down and can't focus because my brain is doing as many crazy things as his does.
Point is, I can't attest to that part much.
....I was typing and ending up on a spiel. It helps me so imma keep going but no obligation to read.:
I've got scrupulosity ocd pretty bad, so I'm spiritually obsessed and paranoid and always morally guilty and if it gets real bad I may emulate the horrible person I think I am...obviously that's when shit gets bad. Constantly worrying you're a narcisist sucks, once you start acting like it, feeling unable to stop, you're gonna lose allies real fast if they don't understand, and even if they do, I can hardly blame them for getting exhausted.
And overconfessional ocd. ...which is a bad combo. I can sometimes feel guilty for things I didn't even do, bad enough to make people think I did.
But the closest I have to stereotypical ocd is yeah, I'm real nervous about special numbers like 7 and 666, bit I mean, I keep it to myself and slowly go nuts and nobody knows what causes it.
That's the shitty part of Pure O. So many people think I'm fine, or mostly fine, so when I can't perform or get crazy, they just think I'm lazy or an asshole.
Spent 4 damn years in mental hospitals, 20 years worrying about demon attacks, 2 years shaking in constant terror because I didn't feel I could control my own mind ing or resist suicide, and my idiot dad thinks there's barely anything wrong with me still
I think he was just assuming it would be bad because its often not well depicted om ,amy sjpws-
Sammmmmmeeee I was hoping to hear what he thought. Ugh
😎😎 Doug has the best evolution in the series though, you will laugh so hard when he finds his speciality and true calling and actually ends up becoming one of the best in the entire field XD
"They call this a Doug upstairs" 😂
He becomes a legend in his own right
ooooo i can't wait!
Such a beautiful episode. After soooo many years, Scrubs still gets me every time! MJF was amazing here, the writing incredible, the build up and resolution done in the perfect way scrubs does.
12:02 i love LOVE the smash cut to Kelso, the head of the hospital, wailing on the airhorn to get birds off his car 😆😆
One thing a lot of reactors do is either talk too much over the episode, pause and talk too much in general or pause and not really have anything interesting to add.
I feel like you're doing a great job of avoiding all of those things, especially when you did the coin thing or when you took part in the questioning of the "geniuses."
As someone who has a mental disorder (ADHD), I'm very much in line with Kevin's statement at the end. I think there's a very fine line one has to walk with those kinds of burdens. It's important to be able to be able to open up to your friends and such about issues you might be having, but there's also an important degree you need to be able to handle and not dump onto people every time you have problems, or to simply blame all of your bad actions on your disorder (depending on which one, anyway).
Whether I like it or not, it's something that's part of me and it's something I'm going to have for the rest of my life. I can't just say "oops, sorry guys. That's my ADHD acting up again, sucks to be me am I right?" every time I make a mistake. Eventually I'll end up sounding like a broken record and it'll just be more of an easy excuse to explain bad decisions/behavior instead of owning up to the mistakes I made. It's not a separate entity that does things when I'm not looking, I need to be able to see the bad habits that might have stemmed from it and do what I can to minimize those bad decisions as best as I can.
Nowadays, I feel like people are so quick to use some disorders (whether they have them or they think they have them, like self diagnosed) as an excuse to justify their bad decisions and rant about it on twitter or something in attempts to garner attention and sympathy from people who might actually have to deal with these things IRL. ADHD is not something I ever feel like broadcasting, but it's not something I'm ashamed of either.
Apologies for the long comment, just wanted to share my thoughts. I look forward to your future videos!
ADHDer here! I understand this kinda internal struggle. Thanks for sharing your thoughts
Great reaction as always. I love Michael J. Fox's performance in this episode and the moral at the end about not knowing what others go through and are dealing with. So often in our culture we are quick to judge other's faults, or envy other's successes without seeing the full picture of the other person, what they're struggling with, what their childhood was like, etc., and when you get those little moments of insight, it can be quite humbling.
I agree about the burdens thing like you said - sharing your burdens can be relationship-building and trust-building, and also help create a place for others to feel comfortable to do the same, so that's all good stuff, but crossing the line so that you try and make your burdens into someone else's problem or responsibility, that's a boundary and respect issue at that point, which is definitely not 😎
Fox's face in all of the shots really show he was struggling so hard during these.
I have OCD and as a kid I would wash my hands until they started to get raw. I've become a lot better.
As a person who had to fight bullying, extreme depression with attempted suicide, social exclusion and more:
I think making fun of depression is a VERY good way of dealing with it.
It can be uncomfortable sometimes, but that is what makes it so effective. To see how even jokingly bullying someone can affect them and stuff.
I am VERY STRONGLY pro more suicidal jokes in modern media. They shouldn't be 1950's "haha sicko" jokes, but handled with care.
But I think if you avoid the topic out of sensitivity, you are not helping anyone.
And everyone loves ted! R.I.P.
As someone who attempted suicide and has been to a mental ward. I agree.
I think joking about it makes it easier to for a person to talk about it, and therefore feel safer asking for help. This is not a joke at the expense of the character, and over the next several years we get to see Ted find some happiness.
Feel the same way. Ted was my favorite character.
I actually notice when I'm in a darker space mentally that I start making really dark jokes. Sure, it doesn't cure me, but making fun of the darkness makes it less scary and easier to face.
I feel like making fun of darker thoughts and suicide is fine, as long as the premise is set (Scrubs is a comedy drama, they make jokes, so the audience is in on the possibility of hearing jokes).
I agree with acting like it should be kept hushed and silent because it is a sensitive subject, is toxic positivity.
@@novanettle7497 True. I noticed that every time I am really psychologically exhausted for a while, I start making a lot of dark jokes and find them a lot funnier than usually.
I think you should ABSOLUTELY be allowed to joke about suicide nowadays. My dad shot himself with a sawed off, and i can laugh at/make jokes about it all the time. Its very helpful for coping!
I love Mike's entrance X3. Would watch it all day long.
😎 scrubs is one of the most underrated shows, im so glad youre watching this with us, its one of the few that gets the laughs right(even though it has some outdated humour) as well as getting the emotion right. Im glad to have you on this journey with us.
The full length reactions are great. I like to hear what they got right, what they got wrong, and what they did to give you the emotional response that you might have felt yourself
One of my Top 10 Favorite episodes and thank God you have the original version of the episode with the original song playing at the end it's so frustrating how Disney removed this song!
I love how they scripted Michael J. Fox's character around his Parkinson's Disease and symptoms. That is awesome.
😎
You expressed the opinion that they wouldn't present the OCD well with the start and I'm wondering what you thought of it at the end.
It strikes me how often I go from laughing to crying over scrubs episodes... And sometimes back and forth. Good writing, good acting.
And my "hard" medical question would be what causes people to develop constipation in their intestines when they get older. I've seen it happen to people who ate healthy as well as people who didn't and they never got an answer which makes me think most doctors don't know or couldn't figure it out. Common thing I heard was that they were fine one day and then it just stopped being fine and it was never good again.
🤓
I think the laser Turk was talking about was an Austin Powers reference, not him saying he was using an actual laser in the surgery. He was pretending to make the cuts with Dr. Evil's Death Beam... I think.
Honestly by far the best doctor reacts video guy im found cuz I find others who talk way to much and do a whole lecture about it, but you put in short input about a certain thing and its a great balance in my opinion
Thanks mate. Let me know what else you’d want me to react too!
I have a friend that has ocd and I noticed it pretty quickly after I met them the first time but there are lots of people who have known them for a while who somehow don’t realize. It’s more apparent when they are stressed but I always notice their compulsions related to getting in the car. I never cared nor mentioned it but sometimes it takes them 3-4 tries to get in the car. I’ve know them for 6-7 years so it’s just like regular now.
It gets me every time!! Michael is so good
I have OCD and have had it since I was around 9-10. I couldn’t relate to Dr Kasey (SP?) until the end when he let his guard down and yelled. I do that, except far more quietly, when I’m overwhelmed. The frustration of OCD just can’t be described. My Obsession is health, so guess why I’m watching this video? My Compulsions are to either call an ambulance or call Nurse on Call, which I obviously try not to do. So watching videos about health helps to relieve my compulsions, or Googling or whatever.
😎 I think this depiction of OCD is incredible. Love your channel!
I love this series so much. Michael J Fox is brilliant. Dr Cox is my favorite character.
Thank you for reviewing whole episodes. ♡
It still amazes me how relatively in control Fox keeps his Parkinson's in check. Of course it's unfortunately a bit worse now, but he's done a fantastic job!
I love this show. They use humor but still tackle real issues 😎
Episode Recommendation:
This was another fantastic episode and I must compliment you on your actual setup as always for being fantastic
As for an episode recommendation I’m still going to have to recommend Season 5 episode 7, My Way Home. Hope to see you do more, and I do love your reactions to other medical shows as well! Cheers!
Awesome action Dr Syl! You’re reactions keep getting better and better every vid! I really appreciated that you stopped and explained the medical diseases or issues more in with this time. I really liked that a lot! I look forward to the next one!! 😎😎😎
What a great episode. Love Michael J Fox's performance.
On board for these whole episode reactions!!😎
So with the burdens thing they address that later with Michael fox’s character. He lets jd help him conquer some of his fears
Honestly, of all scrubs reactors I like you the most because you seem do generous.
You, sir, are a likable human being :)
😎 Loving the reactions always, I never get tried of you pausing the video to talk about stuff, it’s really fascinating!
Ahh thanks again for a lovely comment dizzler!!
😎, scrubs is one of my all time favorite shows. I love getting others perspectives on it. I love the medical expertise you provide. Great work. I can't wait for the next video.
Playing video games helped gain tons of hand dexterity for certain things like fixing cars, wiring for cars, small object assembly, and fishing small things out of small spaces.
😎Love that you do the full episodes. Gives more context to your commentary and the actual show. Cheers Dr Syl .
“Oh my gosh, coins” loved the reaction!
😎 The gardener vs. carpenter is just like George R. R. Martin's idea of the gardener and the architect. We all have some of both when we create something--whether it's art, or mentoring, whatever--and it's a good idea to figure out which side of that gamut you run, so you can understand your own nature and actually be a benefit to others.
Aww Bruv...my heart, it definitely goes out to you. Having a compassionate heart does not often feel like such a beautiful blessing, in the day-to-day, and more importantly...when YOU'RE making a difference. Thanks for all the sharing, it's very enjoyable to watch your content...and informative as well...Very awesome 👍
😎
Michael J Fox was awesome in this episode
The little person who plays the assistant janitor has actually been in a lot of stuff. On the podcast/UA-cam show Good Bad or Bad Bad he plays a doctor in a movie they covered in one of the episodes and Kyle and Brian were mind-blown by a scene he was in.
pirates of the Caribbean too
😎 Thanks for doing these! It's fun to watch the episodes with you.
Love your reaction!! *sunglasses emoji!*
When I was in college for IT, it was the same thing. All tests were open book, open note, open internet with a time limit because it's important to find the info quickly and not memorize something temporarily.
I think "putting your burdens on other people2, means blaming other people for your perceived shortcomings. Not sharing your burdens with a friend etc.
I understand what you’re saying at about 26:00. In the US Army we did “promotion boards”. Where you were asked questions about in which field manual or army regulation you could find a specific piece of information. The idea is that none of us can remember everything, but you need to be able to know how to find and research information.
Oooh, question!
What condition causes a patient's urine to turn purple?
Enjoying your stuff, man! Keep it up. 😎😎
I stumbled across your channel for the reactions but as someone starting on an EMT > Paramedic path next year, your comment about how to react to things when they don't go right stuck with me. The reactions are wonderful but the insight into life in a medical career is even better.
I’d ask a question about what happened to me in the past.
Patient, 21 F presented with extreme constipation and severe pain in that general area - she had been doing yoga and pulled something, but the constipation played part in the severity of the pain, which cause limping and the visit to the hospital. Four days before her labs were in low norm (exactly 4.2), now the amount of red blood cells is 2.5. The patient exercises a lot and is extremely skinny. PCOS diagnosed a few years earlier. Taking contraceptives.
What was wrong?
Now I want to know! Was she anorectic/malnourished? I don't like to go for psych reasons first, but it accounts for the low weight, constipation due to low eating volume, and excessive exercise could cause secondary PCOS symptoms due to all the extra cortisol in her system. Maybe a ruptured ovarian cyst? Accounts for the sudden pain and low RBC.
@@sccello anorexia was the doctors’ first guess too, they were actually so dead set on it that it delayed the actual correct diagnosis
Coming in for a hard medical question. You may asnwer one of the following: Either;
A 28-year-old man comes to the office because of a 1-year history of pain with urination that has increased in severity during the past month. He also has had episodes of blood in his urine during the past 5 years. He lived in sub-Saharan Africa until he came to the USA 6 months ago for graduate school. Temperature is 38.0°C (100.4°F), pulse is 80/min, respirations are 16/min, and blood pressure is 110/84 mm Hg. Physical examination shows suprapubic tenderness. Laboratory studies show:
Hemoglobin 12.3 g/dL
Hematocrit 37%
Leukocyte count 13,400/mm3
Segmented neutrophils 65%
Bands 5%
Eosinophils 5%
Lymphocytes 22%
Monocytes 3%
Serum
Urea nitrogen 75 mg/dL
Creatinine 3.8 mg/dL
Urine
Blood 3+
RBC 200/hpf
WBC 100/hpf
RBC casts absent
WBC casts absent
Imaging studies show bilateral hydroureter and hydronephrosis and foci of calcification in the region of the bladder. A biopsy specimen of the bladder shows marked chronic inflammation with fibrosis and scattered granulomas. Which of the following best explains the biopsy findings?
(A) Exposure to a chemical toxin
(B) Interstitial cystitis
(C) Malacoplakia
(D) Schistosomiasis
(E) Vesicoureteral reflux
Or;
Why does my tummy hurt?
I don't which is more sad, the fact that Ted had gotten to a point in his life where suicide is pretty much the only way he can see to feel better, or the depiction of OCD. I've lucky enough to not have taken the journey of coping with OCD, but suicidal ideation is something I live with most days I just want give Ted a hug and ensure it's going to be ok, and we can get through whatever it is that's making him feel that way
"Oh my gosh- COINS" 🤣 Adorable!
I feel everyone has OCD to an extent. I mean I'll check and double check things just to be safe but I wouldn't say it affects my ability to function. For instance I'm a truck driver and it's not unusual for me to double check I've engaged the parking brake a couple of times. Even when I'm almost certain I've engaged it. Part of it is I don't trust my short term memory so I just want to make sure.
Patient, a 14 year old boy, presents with a raised rash quickly covering their arms and torso (from first appearance it took only 48 hours to almost completely cover his arms), low-grade fever (around 101.2), general fatigue, and sore throat. Rapid strep test done at the pediatrician was negative. What has he got?
Hardest medical question I know, it was an actual case (I was the patient) that stumped two pediatricians and three residents. Only hint I'll give is it did not result in hospitalization and it was ultimately diagnosed with a blood test. Good luck!
Lol love the reaction and the impromptu magic trick 😎
That's a very good description of interstitial lung disease. Also FYI, I've had covid like twice now, and I had the same symptoms as is described here. I used to fill my lungs with air and I was still hypoxic. I ran up to the rooftop of my building in the middle of the night for some fresh air that I never could get. It's a horrible feeling. Scary stuff...
You were hypoxic but still ran up to the roof of a building? Also, what does "like twice" mean? Diagnosed once, got sick a second time but didn't bother to get tested because it felt the same as the first time?
Covid has been described as a happy hypoxic disease, people will walk into a&e with a sp02 of 60/70% and not feel it. Plus the rush of catecholamines from the stress of not feeling like you can breath would defiantly give someone the energy to run.
23:35 That is correct though?
"Progressive multifocal leukoencephalopathy (PML) is a demyelinating disorder due to an ubiquitous polyomavirus, referred to as JC virus."
I'm based in Snowdonia. I was first admitted to hospital 10 years ago with gallstone pain. During the last 3 months I was admitted 5 times with gallbladder pain (I spent a total of 5 weeks in hospital being treated for pain prior to any ops, on one occasion a medical emergency was declared due to the pain as my vitals went out of control). Eventually the gallbladder became necrotic just before i was being discharged yet again - I developed sepsis, pneumonia and pancreatitis whilst I was awaiting discharge and another medical emergency was declared and spen some time in the ICU as a result. I've broken bones 24 times (many on the same occasion), I've had many operations, sprains, dislocations etc due to being an ex champion mountain biker/hit by cars - nothing has come close to hurting as much as the gallbladder pain. I'm fairly good with pain but not on this occasion. My question is, the physician in charge of my case knew I required the gallbladder removal but kept sending me home after reasonable spells in hospital and awful prolonged pain. Every doctor and nurse I encountered prior to the emergency operation stated emphatically that i needed my gallbladder removing immediately purely due to the pain and repeat, expensive, visits to hospital. I'm certain leaving me in such a state for so long, as well as allowing my gallbladder to become life threatening was a mistake? BTW I adore Scrubs and your channel!
One of the best shows of all time bar none.
😎 I only recently discovered you. This was a lot of fun!
Thanks!!
Great full episode reaction.
This is a classic scrubs style episode where its very funny until they reveal its not funny. Like the end of my princess (Jordan "So is that how its ends" Dr Cox "put it this way, that's how I am telling it") and the one where Dr Cox has a mental break down after his mate dies.
😎 been watching since your first scrubs review. Just now subscribed today, please keep doing the reviews like this. If you can just do the whole series!!
@18:54 I believe he says that the disease is "Gaucher disease"
Gaucher disease - is a metabolic disease; deficiency of enzyme Glucocerebrosidase (β-glucosidase); treated with recombinant glucocerebrosidase; causes Hepatosplenomegaly, pancytopenia, osteoporosis, avascular necrosis of femur, bone crises, Gaucher cells (lipid-laden macrophages resembling crumpled tissue paper).
There are scenes in here that I do not remember. The euro version must have more content. I'll have to watch your channel more often.
I just subscribed. You do such a good job of really analysing the episode but still appreciating it as a comedy.
I've loved all your picks. It definitely helps that your fans love to make you feels. Can I suggest the episode "My Super Ego". It's my personal favorite for a lot of reasons, and early season one epic.
4:04 distinctly unpleasant memories associated with that one. It's like the feeling of leaning your head out of a car window on the motorway, but only feeling the wind on a small part of your face. Really felt like an effort to exhale a lot of the time.
A little over a year ago I was diagnosed with Religious OCD, and it's honestly shocking at how debilitating it's become, even when I know what it is.
When I got my gallbladder out, that was the only time I ever rated my pain at a ten, I thought I was dying. Turned out to be a nasty double whammy infection and gallstones.
Thanks for another good episode, would do the sunnies but on a PC with emoji keyboard turned off :8
Neurological disabilities can be so much more varied to be honest. MS is a good example because of how much it effects. But there's more then a few things that continuously come up in individuals like the response most will have to questions about pain:
"I'm fine"
even if they actually feel like they're being stabbed in the brain with a knife and are struggling to control their limbs/eyes.
p.s. I think I'm seeing this because of it being in your playlist :p
How does this comment exist ?
Yes, we do enjoy watching the full thing
Had a cholecystectomy as have 2 siblings and 1 parent. One sibling had gall stones in her bile duct at just 19. Needless to say our family diet wasn't great. The pain I had wasn't that bad and was intermittent. Would only get a pain attack every now and then although it could last hours. A strange remedy was to sit on the toilet hunched over to relieve the pain. I wonder if that practice contributed to my chronic haemoroids I now have. To back up the point of the pain not being too bad I lived with the symptoms for several years before biting the bullet and finally getting them out due to the pain attacks becoming more frequent.
5:21 as someone with motor dyspraxia video games really helped me.
Scrubs always could be counted on to have a great song to capture a moment
I don't remember which episode it was but there was one where they focus on how one person's having a bad day and they pass it on to the next and the next
Cool how'd you do that magic trick? 😎 You are totally right about the suicide joke not being acceptable these days. It was a different time and not all the jokes aged well.
Another great reaction Dr Syl. Ps. Loved the magic tricks! 😂😎😎😎😎😎💚
I kid you not. I just read about JC virus 2 hrs ago, and I don't even remember the full form of JC.....My brain went...all mumbo jumbo and nursery rhymes......
Great! I need to go back and study.... a relaxing evening was all I wanted...... fucking great.......😭😭😭😭
Hm, I suspect gaming is ALSO good for spatial memory (especially when binocular vision is not available), and finger reaction speed, not just the 'pure' manual dexterity - what you DO with your dexterity is almost more important than how much you have in a lot of delicate manipulation tasks...
I loved this episode. Yeah some cringy stuff doesn't age well but Michael J. Fox gives one hell of a performance in the hand washing scene. That stuck with me for a long time.
Thank you for your videos. I'm really enjoy the scrubs vids...but as person living with agoraphobia, i also enjoy your other videos. Keep up your great work and, since you mentioned him/her, make sure your dog gets to make a cameo sometime. cheers...
Only 2 vids in watching your watching & reaction .... Really enjoy it and learn a little to boot ! 😎 Danke
😎That last scene is just so damn emotional and heart-wrenching
Not bad 😎 looking forward to seeing more reactions of these episodes from u gotta say u are quiet funny i wouldn't know any questions to ask when it comes to anything medical but that aside i will be subin
Hardest medical question I can think of, how does someone be truly happy?
By thinkung about and doing things that you know makes you happy. Everything that you focus on multiplies and causes the hormones to distribute based on the feeling. Thoughts about worries will produce other hormones than happy thoughts. Your Body produces the exact same hormones based on your thoughts or your visualisation like it would if you are in the real life Situation. If you are interested in this Matter I would recommend the books of Dr. Joe Dispenza.
Love it! I enjoyed watching you enjoy it!
DUUUUDE, that lung problem that you describe will give me nightmares.
The OCD was to cover the burgeoning Parkensons he had then. It was just starting to show.
19:12 "What disease?" Gaucher's disease
Really enjoying these reactions, thank you! 😎
a thought: isn't the " not burdening others with my problem" thing the opposite of the theme song, "I'm no Superman" ? and is it fair to say that you already answered this--" The answer is somewhere in the middle."
Love your reactions. and the longer. format ?
The hardest medical question?
What virus, diseases, or other illness would or could logically translate to, most easily, a zombie virus situation? Either running or shambling/walking?
If I were to put this to an example in gaming, I would say look up as much as you can of the "Knox Infection" from the game "Project Zomboid."
dr. syl you actually didn't gave your opinion on how the ocd was depicted in the series... what did you think? thank you and keep up the good work :)
