- Medicine has changed a lot
over the last few decades. So for today's video,
I'm not gonna be reacting to a medical drama but instead to some old-school medical films. I think this one's gonna be a blast. Let's see if we can learn something and let's see if they're accurate. Let's get started! - [Narrator] One day,
Johnny was running over to see his friend Stubby. His dog, Mr. Do-Right,
was running along behind. - Who names their dog Mr. Do-Right? Can you imagine if instead of 'Bear', I called him 'Mr. Bear', or 'Dr. Bear'? Actually, Dr. Bear's not bad. - [Narrator] Stubby
suggested a game of tag. "Swell!", said Johnny,
and the game was on. Stubby chased Johnny all around the yard. Then, Mr. Do-Right chased them both. But Mr. Do-Right puffed, "Enough's enough! I'm tired, and you guys must be too". - Is that really what dogs talk like? - [Narrator] "Ah, what
do we care?", they yelled as they hopped on their bikes and rode off toward the playground. Later, when Johnny came
home he was too tired to eat his dinner and too
tired to do his homework, and he could also feel a cold coming on. So, take a tip from Mr. Do-Right. Don't get over-tired! - What? Boy, have times have changed. Now, we flipped completely the other way where we have to have
Play 60 organizations 'cause kids aren't playing enough. And I've also never heard a child play so much sports and
have so much activities that they get a cold. False scientific accuracy! False! Mr. Do-Right here is Mr. Do-Wrong. Oh, the United States
Army presents T.F. 8-1665. No idea what that is. ♪ Oh ♪ ♪ Soap and water make you ♪ ♪ Cleaner than you used to be ♪ ♪ Cleaner than you used to be ♪ ♪ Cleaner than you used to be ♪ ♪ Soap and water make you ♪ ♪ Cleaner than you used to be ♪ ♪ Make you fresh and clean ♪ - Hold on, did the US
military really need a PSA to wash themselves with soap and water? - You know, Mike, those
were pretty good lyrics. Got any more? - Sure, but you gotta get in here with us! (inaudible) - Come on in, the water's fine! - What is it, a pool? - Hey, fellas, turn it
off! Hey, it's cold! - You can't show this.
There's six naked guys in the shower washing another guy. And they're doing it against his will. I think Sam has lost his mind. - [Narrator] It's fun to
eat supper with your family, especially when there is
good food on the table. Aren't you feeling well, Bill? Aren't you hungry? What can be the matter? Yes, Bill. You're getting a stomachache. Now, why does Bill have a stomachache? - H-why? - [Narrator] Oh, Bill got to the table and he ate his breakfast,
gobbled down the cereal. - That's cereal? Ugh. - [Narrator] But what
about Bill's eating habits? Into his mouth went some egg, right away a big bite of toast. And there was some bacon. - Where is this going? I have no idea. This is the most intense
speculation I've ever had watching a 50's health film. - [Narrator] After school,
of course, Bill was hungry. He was hungry and he had some money. - What a statement! "He was
hungry and he had some money." - [Narrator] He emptied that
pop bottle as fast as he could. He gobbled down all his candy. You rushed through your meals and didn't eat enough good food. And then, in the afternoon,
all those sweets! - Oh my God, like, that soda pop looked like a nightmare coming into the screen. Like, what is happening? - [Narrator] In fact, Bill, you mistreated your stomach all day long. No wonder you have a stomachache. - That was the most
anticlimactic ending ever to a five-minute skit. This is them just saying "you
ate quickly in the morning and you had a soda, which that's why you have abdominal pain". What? My man here probably has
a viral gastroenteritis and he's gonna wake up vomiting and having diarrhea in the morning. And the narrator is gonna be like, "Oh, looks like it wasn't that soda pop that did you in, Billy. It was the bug." - Mom, guess what? - I don't know, what? - Mom, I started my first period. - Okay. - Well, what do you know? - Golly, at first I thought, well, I didn't know what to think. And now I remembered when we talked about menstr... - [Mother] Menstruation. - Menstruation and stuff. - That's interesting. My nephews also had
trouble with that word. - Menstrual. - Yeah, menstrual cycle. - Say- Use your- Stop going... (mumbles) - Menstrual cycle. It's a menstrual cycle. - Use your mouth! - Interestingly enough, if you are a fan of the show "Queen's Gambit", which I am, that is the scene that they're watching in the first pilot
episode of Queen's Gambit. See if you could find it yourself. - You see, honey, menstruation
is perfectly normal. It happens every month. - Good advice. Also, not
unusual for someone starting their menstrual cycle to have some irregularities once it starts up. Of course, right at first, you probably won't be very regular. Most girls don't settle
down for a year or so. - I've actually talked
about, on this channel, PCOS, which can happen with abnormal periods, abnormal hair growth in a male
pattern on a female patient. Also, it oftentimes happens
with obesity, diabetes, and as a result PCOS really needs to be treated like the syndrome it is, and not just focusing on
the menstrual irregularities and the infertility. There's much more to this condition that oftentimes goes overlooked. - Mom, can I go swimming with
Peggy tomorrow after school? - No, it's not a good idea the first two or three days of your period. You might get chilled and catch a cold. - Not medically accurate. Your immune system doesn't
lower when you have a period. Like, I just can't see how
that even is connected. - Peggy, of course I can't go swimming. You know, I've got the curse. - I've never heard of it
referenced as the curse. This is perhaps a sign
of the times back then. - I've often wondered
why it is that some women still call menstruation the curse. - I don't know. Peggy calls it that and it is kind of a nuisance, isn't it? - I suppose it is sometimes. Just that it sounded sort of old-fashioned to hear you say it. - It sounds old-fashioned to me, and we're watching this,
what, 60 years later? - Ms. Jansen, how often
should you change napkins when you're menstruating? - Well, that depends
on the amount of flow, but probably five or six times a day. - Wow, they were doing it
five or six times a day. How technology has changed. Actually, I've seen a lot of great videos from Mama Doctor Jones on this subject. I'm gonna link some of them down below if you're curious to learn more. - But you should be more careful than ever about personal cleanliness. Change your underwear more often and pay more attention to
your hair and your nails and plan to wear your prettiest dress. In other words, be your
most attractive self. - "Be your most attractive self." Man, that was a sexist time. Yeah, I just think it's
important to watch this, not only to see how far
we've come, but to see how women were mistreated back
then and how it was, like, labeled a curse and the
fact that they were expected to do certain things that just
seem totally irrational now. It's crazy how times
change, but appropriate. And we still have a long way to go. That's an understatement. Does that say D. O.? - [Narrator] Before a
student may enter a college of osteopathic medicine,
he must first spend from three to four years in a liberal arts college or university. - Interesting that they go
with "he" instead of "they". - [Narrator] It is costly, too. The average student who is aiming for a career as a doctor spends from $5,000 to $7,000 on his education. - What? $5,000 to $7,000? I'm not saying that that's expensive. I'm saying that's cheap. My God, the average education
when I was finishing, most folks were spending around
a quarter million dollars. Add on college, add on cost of living. It quickly adds up to perhaps
half a million dollars. And if you're taking out
loans for all of this, which I had to do, you're
going out with that amount of debt and beginning
your professional career. And remember, as a doctor you
don't start earning great sums of money when you first start practicing because you're a resident. That can be as long as,
like, 7 to 10 years. It's pretty incredible. - [Narrator] All of
these subjects are taught from the viewpoint of the
osteopathic concept of body unity, the inter-dependence of
all parts of the body. - That's actually one of
my favorite principles of osteopathic medicine.
The core principle of being a D.O. is not only thinking about the patient as a whole, but understanding the
interconnectedness of all of the organs, bones, their
relationships with one another. The idea that if someone's ankle
isn't functioning properly, it's gonna reflect poorly on their knees, their hips, lumbar spines. That type of thinking
really does go a long way in helping diagnose and treat ailments. - [Narrator] Now he
begins to learn by doing. - Those are some fancy scrubs. I don't know. I don't
know. I kind of dig them. - [Narrator] He is introduced
to all the modern facilities for diagnosis and treatment and
becomes expert in their use. - Have you guys heard that, "expert"? - [Dan] "Expert" is a noun. "Expert" is an adjective, I would think. - Look at Dan. - [Sam] Wow, big brain over here. - Yeah. - [Narrator] The bull session
is a time-honored institution amongst students. - I love that one of the
doctors is smoking a cigar and the other doctor
is smoking a cigarette. That does not happen anymore. - [Narrator] The course of
study during these years is broad and intensive. General osteopathic medicine,
pharmacology, materia medica. - What's materia medica? I
don't even know what that is. - [Narrator] Gynecology. - "Jena-cology"? I thought
it would be gynecology. "Jena-cology" sounds like a Friday night with a little bottle of gin. - [Narrator] One cold afternoon... - Oh, Mr. Do-Right comes
with medical advice number 2. - [Narrator] Johnny and
Stubby were inside the house, working on their model airplane. - Who named these children?
Johnny and Stubby? Stubby? - [Narrator] "Let's turn
the heat up," said Johnny, "it's getting cold in here". "Good idea," shivered Stubby. - Is Stubby smoking? Is that a cigarette? Sam, fact check, is that a cigarette? - [Sam] He's got... Fire. They're building their model planes, so would you use a flame
on a model plane at all, for like glue or something? - Okay, I'm gonna be not judgmental and assume it's not a cigarette. - [Narrator] "I'll close these
windows too," said Johnny. Meanwhile, Johnny's dog, Mr. Do-Right, was hurrying home to
get in out of the cold. Johnny sleepily opened the door. "What's wrong with you?"
barked Mr. Do-Right, running into the house. "Johnny and I don't
feel well," said Stubby. "Oh, no wonder. You've
got the heat on full blast with all the windows
shut. Get a window open. Lucky for you guys, I
came home when I did," growled Mr. Do-Right angrily, "or you would have been goners". So, take a tip from Mr. Do-Right. Always keep a window
open in a heated room. - Hashtag hot-take, hashtag
fresh-take, hashtag what? Okay. Maybe, maybe, because
this is so long ago, they had a furnace to keep
their heated room warm. And as a result, there was potential for carbon monoxide poisoning,
because they were sleepy and maybe that's what was going on. And the way they negated
carbon monoxide poisoning was opening a window because they didn't yet have carbon monoxide detectors. Speaking of carbon monoxide poisoning, there is on average 400 deaths per year in the United States as a result of carbon monoxide poisoning,
not related to fires. So make sure that you have a functioning carbon monoxide detector in your home, especially
during the winter time when the heat is on full blast. And you do not run your car indoors Some of these are absolutely wild. Click on it for a laugh
and some education. As always, stay happy and healthy. I love that sound.
It is so shocking what they used to believe cured illnesses Loved your video by the way
