Good on Ben for helping first time mom understand what needs to be done. There’s nothing more scary then when your baby is sick.
?
Yeah
Sharks are pretty scary
I was my mom's first time baby and she brought me into the ER because i spit up a lot. Turns out I did it because i was happy? Im not exactly sure either lmao
What's really scary is that such dumbasses have babies. Poor child!
I love how despite some light comedy to straight up gut laughs, you manage to address common and serious issues. Even the very sensitive and uncomfortable subjects are done in such a way that you are extending a helping hand to someone who may not know what to do. Thanks for sharing your knowledge and humor with us. 😁
Ignorant people aren't always bad people. Sometimes they're just doing the best they can with what they have. I know it's just a skit, but considering I've met folks like this, it's nice that once she was taught better, she did better for the sake of her child.
Only time ignorant people are bad are those that believe in Dr. Google
@@v.crowley facts
@@v.crowley or the Facebook pages they read
Or are Karens
She wasn't wrong at all to be protective, and to want an explanation before she agreed.
First, I wonder what Ben has been up to if he's had worse than a rectal thermometer there... but second, it's sweet to see him helping a new mom like that
I took it to mean that he's had worse experiences in general not specifically rectal
Probably a colonoscopy!
Prostate exam
Oh. Sweetheart.
He might’ve been assaulted before….
hell yeah. first time moms probably have a constant flow of information coming at them to the point where they arent gonna remember everything or theyre gonna assume not all of it is true. they obviously want whats best for their kid and its very sweet of you to explain to them why its important and why you guys do it that way to calm her down. im sure it calms the baby down too! good going ben
I love how he tells the mother that this is perfectly normal and it's okay for her to be worried. I think this shows just how much can be avoided if we just talked to a medical professional about what's going on and how we can fix it.
“I’ve had worse” 🤣
"I Said It Would Be The Worst"
Honestly, I wouldn’t doubt it.
1) Shocked at seeing Ben be empathetic. But then, it had to be in there somewhere, or he wouldn't be a nurse, right? ...Ummm, right?
2) Excellent job explaining basic medical procedures to new moms and laypeople in general. I'd ask if the educational skits are in a playlist, but that's easily 80% of these videos.
Ben has empathy, just not as much as Austin. I think you may be thinking of Rich, who is definitely hardcore AF.
@@bunnyslippers191 I suppose I should emphasize the difference between having empathy and showing empathy. No doubt all three of our favorite Steves HAVE empathy. (See original comment.) Some are more adept than others at SHOWING it.
Ben is jaded from years of nursing. LOL
I remember the first time my first baby (at 9 months old) needed a rectal temp… I was lucky enough to have an ER doc this understanding and kind. I had done an incomplete underarm temp that got to 103, so I gave him Tylenol and took him to the hospital where he had a rectal temp of 105+. The nurses and Drs kept taking it with different thermometers because they were sure each thermometer was broken for how high his temp was.
Eventually they just surrounded him in ice packs since Tylenol and Motrin weren’t doing a damn thing…
There was no obvious reason for his fever at the hospital, but later that day he had a giant, excessively full diarrhea diaper and his fever went away almost instantly 😐
stomach bug he got it out in the diaper
That’s so scary for you.
I had febrile fits brought on by a high fever when I was a baby/toddler. They packed me with ice and damp towels too. I’ve no recollection of it though so it’s highly likely your baby won’t remember anything either. It’ll just be a scary nightmare memory for you.
@@andreagriffiths3512 for sure. They don’t remember an instant of it, but I have a bit of neurosis whenever any of my littles gets a fever.
I try not to let them see my worry, but because I check frequently to make sure fevers aren’t going up, my 2yo will press the power button and stick the thermometer in their ear whenever they see the thermometer, whether they’re sick or not 😂
(It’s the kind that’s supposed to go in the ear… I’m not sticking a regular thermometer in there, lol)
Ditto under the arm
I love Ben! So firm yet helpful and respectful! 🥰
I know this ain’t the thing I should be focusing on but as soon as Ben said I’ve had worse my eyes went: 👀👀👀. I love the skits so much. Also love that it delivers a really good message.
Ben likes to drink. That should help explain a few things 😂
@@dr.floridamanphd You right!😂
I’ve had scopes in both ends, different times, it’s pretty common to scope for GI issues, I was teenager when I had to have both of mine. So maybe he’s had an endoscope 🤷🏻♀️
I remember that skit where he puts a rectal thermometer in his mouth 🤣🤣🤣
@@balticdemon A few years ago I had to take my baby to the ER ( turned out they were ok). I hadn't considered that there wouldn't be a separate thermometer for rectal use and was surprised when the nurse put a probe cover on the communal thermometer and checked my baby's temperature rectally. So, I suppose that anyone who has had their temperature checked in triage has had a rectal thermometer in their mouth. At least in my local hospital.
I'm glad my mom prepared me for this with my first baby
the characters are so defined you start to forget this is the same guy
I can’t 😂.... what did you say “ I’ve had worse “. Thanks man for bringing in the humor! My just got a couple of degrees better 🤣
I love skits like this, the most touching moments
1. I’ve had worse 🤣💀 2. I remember the first time my baby spiked a fever. I was absolutely frantic. Everything I knew how to do went straight out my head, these skits are REALLY great for letting people know they aren’t alone.
I have a fever and i wont stop crying
Lol the mothers face though I love ben
"I've had worse"....dying! Too funny!
Steve is such a good actor. He's managed to perfectly capture female concern/fear/anxiety/relief, it doesn't even feel staged? just very plainly the female energy/perspective. I guess he's seen a lot of patients and families in his time in the ER so he's had time to study those emotions.
I like how wholesome these are, you’ve got some videos that are funny and weird and then you’ve got these really awsome whole ones
I’ve worked in a dr office and parents would say all the time that they didn’t give the fever reducer because they wanted the doctor to see the fever. Poor babies. 🙁
what about other symptoms that may go away if given fever meds?
Fevers are the immune system’s way of killing off a virus so it’s not even healthy to always give meds.
@@Goldenhawk583 why would you let a baby experience symptoms, just because you want the doctor to see them? If it's severe enough, the doctor/nurse will still know what is happening, regardless of symptoms.
Enough parents have been told that the doctor can’t do anything by if a fever isn’t present during the appointment.
When you tell us the baby had a fever, we believe you!!!
If she thought that was bad, wait until he has to get an IV. She will really trip then, all the way to the Bahamas.🤣🤣🤣 Aww Ben has a heart.
Or imagining. Into the frogger with the bebe!!
Where would he get the iv?
Babies get IVs in their hand. My daughter had one right after she was born 😩
I’m so surprised by this video as rectal temps aren’t really done in my experience here in Australia. Neither of my kids have ever had them done and they’ve had their fair share of hospital and doctor visits.
It’s all ear/forehead/underarm.
They are pretty rare nowadays
Yeah even here in the US they’re less common but for infants like less than a year especially they are the most accurate. I’ve heard more about them in hospitals than just clinical visits.
As a midwife in Australia I can confirm that it's not done here. Auxiliary temp is quite accurate, if unsure we check both arms. If they show a high temp then we work with that number rather than checking rectally. Rectal temps sound invasive an unnecessary.
@@ming4182 that’s what I was thinking! So invasive especially since there’s other reasonably accurate methods
I live in Romania and I've only used the armpit method (I check my baby's temperature myself and report to the family doctor). And during checkups, they never checked.
Ben: I've had worst
Me: *w h a t*
Supporting and helping new parents through these things is very important!
Dude..
We just use those temp guns in Australia, no rectums required.
🤣 I’m saying, we need more education for first time parents.
"I've had worse" UM. BEN? something u wanna talk to the class about?? 😂😂👀
I'm in love with Ben, he has a heart of gold 💖
I appreciate seeing this depiction of a conscientious careful parent trying to protect their baby and I appreciate the compassionate lesson on how to take a temperature.
Thanks Ben & Rich & Austin! You are all great!
All for 1, and all are 1!
Steve is massively talented! 🙂😄🙂😄
@@patriciatinkey2677 💯 he absolutely is
i enjoy the wholesome videos
I remember being that first time mom, thinking that someone in charge got very careless by allowing me to leave the hospital and take the baby with me. It's a scary time if you don't have a lot of help around, and I think Ben handled it beautifully. Good show Steveioe!
I love how all videos are getting wholesome in the end🥺
You are so good. You have really developed your characters. It's to the point where I forget you are playing everyone. Keep up the great work.🎉
It's always nice to see Ben be nice. He did a good job with a 1st time mom. Lol. Good job.
I feel like your content has been more compassionate lately. It is nice
"I've had worse." 🤣🤣
I thought this was going to be a straight comedy when mom said "that is assault" *eye roll*
“I’ve had worse”
“What?”
“I said it would be the worst”
I have a fever and I won’t stop crying
The baby : EeEeEeEeEeEeEeEeEeEeEEEEEEeEEEe
Okay I actually think the end is pretty nice 😭👌 good on Ben for being so understanding and helpful
I loved this
Of course, here we go:
STABS "EuRgHaHHHHHH"
that's why social media is helping
I love this video because it teaches everyone something
That was strangely wholesome at the end :3 I feel warm and fuzzy inside now XD
In the military we had a 20 mile hike where the weather had been in the 60 all week but that Friday it spiked to 85 and sunny. We had folks dropping out at the end from heat exhaustion left and right. I remember dragging one person into the aid station. Where we got tasked with helping provide 1st aid.
I just remembered the battalion surgeon shouting he wanted rectal temps only. So break out the silver darts.
Also amazing how the military lets folks with little medical training do so much. They had me starting IV after getting a core temp over 101.
Taking rectal temp is done with adults too. It really is the best way to check.
And it does not hurt.
Aww! Thanks, Ben, for being gentle with that new mama.
Ben sounding like he just come out of puberty again with that deep voice-
Ben "I've had worse" LMFAO......, I'd believe that lol
Daww Ben is a softy at heart 🥰🤣
Just wait until she sees how babies are X-rayed!
Aww..Ben. you are nice after all 🥰
Wow that was really sweet, good job you!
At least she was apologetic in the end and didn't go all out Karen 😂
"I've had worse"
"It would be the worst" 😂😂😂
It must be an American thing, they don't do that in Canada any more in my experience. It's either the armpit or the ear.
I live in canada....they do that for babies as well
for babies, the bottom is, like Ben said, the most accurate place to check the temp.. has Canada stipped caring about babies?
They’ve never done that to my babies here in the US. Only the forehead scanners.
Canada. Always had the ear temp.
I think they used a fancy forehead scanner for my daughter, but we never had to take her in for a fever/illness so maybe they save that for when having accurate readings is most important and not just a general checkup
Second babies is always easier. My first child had asthma and i was 9 monthd pregnant while still getting up twice a night. Then second baby was already sleeping theough the night while I'm still getting up with my first. She didn't sleep through the night till she was 4!
I don't know where you get "always" from, but that certainly wasn't the case in my family. Yikes.
@@IzzyKawaiichi easier as in you know what you're doing. If you raise one kid and then have a second. You should not be wondering how to make a bottle or what to do when it cries.
Yeah I ended up babysitting with another friend in a hotel room for a few hours while the mom & dad had a dinner out, neither my friend nor I had much experience at all, I’m the youngest of my family generation & my friend was an only child. We forgot to warm up the milk at first & the baby was being so fussy, (it was room temp not cold but still) but we figured it out pretty quick. We were both CPR certified & know the general stuff like diapers & how to burp but if you’re not used to doing it, you can forget simple stuff. The baby was fine & is now a normal healthy child.
They checked my youngest kids temps with the roller thermometer across their foreheads. The older ones were checked this way.
With ppl in this world who try to take advantage this would be my reaction too 😭 coupled with the fact that I had no idea a rectal temp check is a thing
You had no idea a rectal temp check was a REAL thing??? I don't have kids(do have nephews though) but even I knew that was a real thing that doctors do. Time for you guys to get educated on BASIC stuff like that. When I say get educated I mean actually TALK to the doctor. They will break it down to you the why's they use certain tools or how they do certain procedures on a baby/kid versus an adult. You don't have to know all the complicated stuff because you are not doctors but you really should read up on stuff that doctors would do and use for babies and kids. Not trying to be mean but like I said, get educated to help yourselves so you don't assume the worst from everyone automatically or that they are abusing your kids when they have certain things they use. Just saying.
I didn't have help with my son. His dad helped at Night but worked during the day and I felt guilty waking him at nights. Didn't have my mom or mother in law to help me so I learned everything on my own. All my close acquaintances then had babies month after me and I became Google for them 🤣🤣.
Ben calm? No wayyyy-
"I've had worse" 😂😂😂☠️
It's hard thing to watch a child go through. Thanks Ben
Ben was so nice...for a change!
Thank you Ben ☺️
yes, I remember getting the rectal thermometer as a little girl. I was so HAPPY when I aged out of it, and the mouth was the next step. Finally, aged out to armpit. Now we are back to oral thermometer and laser temps.
"I've had worse"😅🤣
I know it's frustrating but good on that Mom for speaking up when she had concerns her baby in his safety first. It's important that parents can and do speak up
I think he should start a series where it’s tips for parents with infant, gtoddler or children.
I have respect for Healthcare workers. Dealing with the public when their health is in jeopardy must be very taxing. I'm a plumber and limit myself to construction because I don't have the patience to deal with the public even in that capacity. Hats off to you.
Ben is such an exasperated sweetie.
The mother has quite a mustache coming in
Ben is a good and understanding nurse. It’s not easy being a first time mama and not knowing these things. It’s not easy to check the temp in the bottom of a crying squirming baby.
Why don't you check with an ear thermometer?
This is a legitimate question.
I love Bennn
and then the baby exploded 👀
i had worse i mean its the worst lol
Best advice my pediatrician gave me was to not listen to my mother about baby health (especially fever).
i wonder if she would come back a few years and say
“I need a rectal temp for my 15 year old son, i think he has a fever!” 😂
Woman How would you feel
Ben I’ve had worse
Whew, I remember when my first baby had that done for the first time. Poop exploded all over the nurse, who just walked out of the room with the best "FML" look on his face and I just stood there with my eyes bugged out, not knowing what to do. 😂
I've actually done this all my life (i'm french and my mom is a nurse so she always says it's more acurate). I have never understood why other people find it awful : it doesn't hurt and you can do it yourself 🤷🏻♀️
Whoa! Ben being sensitive.
in Europe doing things rectally for babies and toddlers is very common ad reliable and efficient. Also giving meds rectally for a baby eg acetaminophen
Been there, done that. Ask your veteran friends about the silver bullet.
Same
I remember my firt time getting my temp checked, didn't hurt at all.
Right on!!
Totally reasonable to hesitate and ask questions when someone wants to do a procedure on your kid. Especially when it's likely to be upsetting or even painful.
All day every day working in the peds urgent care
I legit cried with my baby when I brought my baby in for constipation that was so bad that he was refusing to eat of even nurse. It was 3am in the middle of a snow storm.. and he had so much gas built up behind the almost impaction that to relieve the pressure the doc had to put his finger up there. I held my baby still and he was crying, I was crying, and he let out the biggest fart I had heard out of him yet and he latched on right away. All was well. But it was hard
PSA 💯👍
OMG this man is funny and soooo serious at the same time...i am scared😶
And here's where we all waste time being perverts trying to figure out what exactly is worse 🤣🤣
Colonoscopy?
@@rebeccamount50 Good one...you win 🤣 (I'm not sure what you want, but you win)
you can be given a mild sedation for colonoscopies so i think worse would be something like a proctoscope/anoscope examination 😂
Having had at least (more than) one prostate exam, I can honestly say that a skinny thermometer is MUCH easier to "let in" than the index finger of a 6 foot tall MD -- regardless of the amount of lubrication he used. IJS...
Your videos are always great. Can you do some more where heavier topics are covered? I've had my share of funny times I the ER as a patient. (1) I've also been to the ER where I was brushed off for suicidal thoughts, (2) a doctor didn't listen (or didn't care) when my husband explained I was coweeng in the corner from trying listening to my lungs b/c of PTSD from sexual/phsyical abuse, etc.
