Sorry. I'm really sick, I have like, either a bronchitis or a pneumonia, so I wanna tell you guys
about this essential oil, it's like 100 bucks, I
recommend everyone buys it 'cause it legitimately
just cures my cough, it's really good. You thought I was being serious. There's no easy way to say this, you have cooties.
(laughing) That's one doctor's advice
I'd listen to carefully. When you forget to bring a tendon hammer to a neuro exam so you use the side of your stethoscope to test reflexes. Did I just lisp? (lisping) Stethoscope, stethoscope. (slowed down) Stethoscope. And yes, I do this all the time. The reflex hammer's missing in almost all of my rooms so I use the side or I just do the old
casual with my two fingers but, but, this is the most important trick that I do and you young
doctors watching this, you should use this also. I always cover, so that the patient doesn't see when I'm
actually doing the hit. The reason being is,
if they see you do it, they will resist it and
therefore you won't get a reflex, but when you cover it, they don't see it, they don't know what you're doing, works 70%, 100% of the time. When you see the med student getting ready to do something stupid but you kinda wanna see what happens. (laughing) Stop! Med school memes, you're
becoming my favorite page on Instagram for memes,
this is really good. (whispering) Stop. I told them to to stop,
they didn't hear me! When your patient unexpectedly opens up about something really deep and you're not really sure what to say. (laughing) Damn bro! Welcome to the world of family medicine. Every time I close the
door with my patient and I see the chief complaint, I'm ready to call an audible. Bad news Mr Smith,
according to these tests you have athlete's foot. Foot starts thanking god
and giving 110%. (laughing) Athlete's foot sucks,
I've gotten it before, basically when you have a fungal infection on the skin of your feet, ugh. That's why you don't walk around barefoot in public spas or saunas or showers. Always wear sandals. (whispering) Always, gross,
there's fungus everywhere. It'll, it'll bite you. And then once it bites you,
it's gonna go into your nails, then your nails are gonna get gross. And to treat it, ooh, it's a headache. My patients when I counsel them to stay on a low sodium diet
during the holidays. (laughing) Oh my God, this is the constant struggle. The reason why doctors like myself recommend the dash diet
or the low sodium diet to patients who have
congestive heart failure is because when you eat a lot of salt, you retain a lot of fluids. That puts a lot of strain on your heart, especially the left side of your heart. It can raise your blood pressure, which puts even more strain on
the left side of your heart, which means that your legs
are gonna get swollen, fluids are gonna leak into your lungs and you will have difficulty breathing and then guess what, you're
gonna end up in the hospital. And then what really drives me up the wall is watching patients get a pizza, which is, I can't, my salt receptors scream at me when I eat a pizza 'cause it has so much salt on it between the pepperoni and the cheese. (shaking water bottle) They put more salt on it! What is happening? Our usual colonoscopy
equipment is down today, so we're gonna be using a tapeworm with a GoPro strapped to it's head. Oh, that's actually really funny. There's something called
a capsule endoscopy, which is where you swallow a pill, it's not a small-sized pill because it has a little camera in it, but you actually swallow it and it takes video and
pictures along the way down your entire digestive route. You've heard of elf on a shelf, now get ready for... A tractor? Elf on a shelf, a tractor? A flagella? Is that a microbe? I don't know what it is. Oh, heliobacter on a tractor! Yo, I got that heliobacter on the tractor, I'm gonna change it and give
you that intrinsic factor. Oh! ♪ I got that heliobacter
sitting on the tractor ♪ ♪ I hear everyone hit
me with the laughter ♪ ♪ Its all right cause I
got that intrinsic factor ♪ ♪ Living in my stomach ♪ ♪ It can hear my mom lick ♪ - What do you think went wrong,
what do you think happened? - Sore knee huh, have you tried icing it? (laughing) He kneads some loving. They call it helicase because I'm always unzipping their genes. Oh they call me helicase. Helicase is the enzyme that breaks up the double-stranded DNA and
makes it single-stranded so that it can be copied. But in this case, the
bunny is like a playa and he's like "yo, I'm
unzipping their jeans". Like the pants. Sorry. Packing for my call shift like (laughing). Where do you get a bag that big? That would just be room for my snacks. If I ever go to prison, I'm gonna change my name to mitochondria. I wanted everyone to know I'm
the powerhouse of the cell. This mitochondria
powerhouse of the cell thing is gonna haunt me til the day I die. Roses are red, it's hot
like hell, mitochondria? (people jeering) When you sleep and you
hear a noise downstairs but you remember you don't gotta pay 80K in student loans
if you dead. (laughing) The only thing inaccurate about this meme, that 80K should have a
little two before it. 280K. Otherwise, fire me. My hump, my hump, my
hump, my lovely lady lump. That's called kyphosis. As we get older, we become kyphotic. Our spine starts starting to bend forward. Mainly because of gravity. Here at UpToDate, we're
vigorously competing with Google to make your doctor look smarter than they really are. So for those of you who don't know, UpToDate is basically the scalpel of internal medicine and
family medicine physicians. It's like the all-knowing resource of the most up to date information on how do certain illnesses present, what questions to ask in a physical exam, what tests to order, imaging, blood tests, what treatments are most
likely to be effective, first line, second line and
it's a really great resource. Sometimes you forget, sometimes
you wanna double-check and that's good, that means that you're actively refreshing
your information bank. A 67-year-old woman named Dorothy Fletcher once had a heart attack on a plane. When the stewardess asked if there was a doctor on board, 15 people stood up. They were on their way to
a cardiology conference. The woman survived. I have some experience about medical emergencies on flights from... A couple of weeks ago. And a little good news about that, Senator Chuck Schumer and
I, senate minority leader, actually have gotten the airlines to take notice of this story. He wrote a letter along
with Senator Duckworth to the FAA to stop letting airlines get away with not putting
Epi-pens on planes. We're making it happen, good job Senator Schumer and Duckworth. When your patient gives
you their birthdate instead of their age. (laughing) What year is it now,
what year were they born? Like if they say 1953,
you're like, all right, so that's 47 years to 2000
plus it's 19 years now, so you have 43 plus 19, that's like 62 and then you're like,
wait, did their birthday pass or not, it's too much math! Checking to see if your read is ready and the radiologists
just look at you like. Ah, the light, it burns! So there's always a little room and I always say little, but it's not that little, feels little
'cause it's dark in there. Within each hospital,
where, if you're on call and you need a stat read, meaning that you need an interpretation of an X-ray, CAT scan, ultrasound, what have you and you need it done quickly, you go to the room and the radiologists are all sitting there in the dark and they're like (gasping). When the ED tells plastics that
they can handle the repair. (laughing) Oh, that's really funny. Whenever... A laceration comes into the ER. ER has a couple options. One, they could not do
anything, which is not ideal. The next option is they can close the laceration themselves with sutures, or if it's in a really sensitive spot, like if scarring is important, if skin tension's important, if there's possible damage
to tendons or something, they can call a subspecialist, plastic surgeon, hand
surgeon, so on and so forth. What happened to Barbie? My grandma, she walks around like this, and I'm like "Westside, Grandma?" and she's like no, rheumatoid. Oh, that's so messed up. Rheumatoid arthritis really
does mess up the joints. But it's symmetrical, both joints. The look that the nurse
and scrub tech give you when you forget to introduce
yourself in the OR. Oh, I like the little goat. Is that a goat? Yes, the first thing you should do as a med student or anyone observing in the OR is introduce
yourself to everybody so that they know who you are, 'cause you're an outsider,
you don't belong there, so they need to know who you are and what your place of business there is. So they're gonna give
you a little side-eye. My prince charming coming to rescue me from the psych ward tower (laughing). That's funny. Those aren't just for the psych ward, that's for fall risk patients. Gives them extra grip and
stability on the floor. If you ever wondered why
you get those type of socks. You don't slip on those, that's non-slip, slick, slip padding. When med students try and
help out their residents. (laughing) But then the resident, why would you take it through the fence? Memes is a great way to relax, but you know what's even better, you having a laugh at how
horrible my drawings are. Check out my medical
pictionary game right here, and as always, stay happy and healthy. (smooth music)
the memes were really funny, but the part where you started rapping was EVERYTHING 😂
Thought the memes and video in general were great! I loved the fact you couldn't understand dasani
Pretty cool that you talked to the senator about health on planes. Funny memes
I was disappointed you didn't get the "roses are red, it's hot as hell, mitochondria is the powerhouse of the cell". But I loved the part where you were rapping!
Another great video Dr Mike, keep it up.
I love it! Peewoop!
Oh gosh I always love the medical meme reviews man, they keep me going through med school ;)
These memes were amazing, u/realdoctormike but the bit where you were rapping had me cracking up the most. Only that there was a bit of flashing there and it made me have an absence :-( please if you have more flashy bits in future videos could you put a warning?
Das a nid more memes! xD
