Ken Jeong Answers Medical Questions From Twitter | Tech Support | WIRED

hi this is dr. ken jongo of dr. ken and welcome to Doc's support my first question from Ashley at queasy baked how do I know if I have the stomach flu or a hangover well honey did you drink last night mmm glug glug did you have food or did you have alcohol the Internet is not for stupidity ma'am the Internet is for smart established doctors like me and my friend Luis here think before you tweet okay another question okay Kellie underscore Sheridan one finally a great question how much vitamin C is too much yes sometimes too much vitamins is too much you always get these things on medical shows going like should I take this supplement should I take this supplement and honestly you can get hypervitaminosis like if you go to GNC or some other stories don't say like oh this you get like 2,000 percent of the recommended daily allowance of vitamin you know see you can actually get side effects and symptoms or GI symptoms from too much vitamins so it's probably good just to get like a hundred percent of the recommended daily allowance that's really all you need great question kelly sheridan i'm not supposed to pick favorites they told me not to the producer but you're my favorite Appetit macaroon so it's like a weird skin tag under my eye that hurts when i rip it off what's up with that skin tag is it called a skin polyp in real life is render it can be anywhere along your body i think to rip off any lesion that you don't know about right under your eye I mean honestly I can't think of a more ill-advised stupid move than that they can no up the area clip it off I've actually when I practice medicine someone had skin tags on their arm or extremities it always freeze it off with liquid nitrogen and it doesn't hurt I highly recommend that you have a professional remove it professionally at captain handlebar ass now can we address the knee reflex tests at the doctor's office this has to be useless right no it's not useless we're not monkeys that use these just for props we're not the carrot top of doctors here and I can just show you right here this is a neat there's a tendon that connects the knee to the leg bone okay called the tibia there's a 10 in here you want to check the reflex of this you go oh let me just check that and what that does me it's actually it checks really your whole nervous system in many ways to see that if your reflexes are intact low thyroid levels in your body or which is very common called hypothyroidism you actually will be hypo or flexing and you would not be able to elicit much of a reflex so this sucker is very important okay don't mock our tools okay we're pros and we're sensitive emotionally mm-hmm busy so to ask how do you check your pulse could check it here you check it here even check it here on your leg a baby could tell you how to check a pulse oh no no you can't you can't ask any question on Twitter just don't defend shut up I'm sorry I see that it's just me and Lois gotten the whole thing whatever okay moving on bujji Okubo says do I really need both my kidneys you know what that's part of the whole area of like kidney transplantation we've heard of people donating kidneys to other people in need who have kidney failure technically one can survive with just one kidney if it's as long as this normally functioning really good question hope I have more questions like this at Haley Nesbitt one says why do I always get cramps or spasms in my full leg nearly every day hashtag ouch hashtag doctor help nurse Lee for me that I would definitely get checked out leg pain or like spasm can be due to a multitude of things instead of saying what those hundred things are you actually need to see a physician for that determine is it your illogical a nation in nature is a tender penological in nature it can be do a lot of different things okay good question okay at hice underscore sai underscore EHS quick what are the three parts of the brainstem first one to reply with the correct answer could surprised study test tomorrow smiley emoji with glasses okay so um three parts of the brainstem are the medulla the pons and the midbrain and the medulla I believe control the breathing and the pons links a cerebellum to the cerebrum and the midbrain rooo demanding a vision and hearing all for me didn't have to look it up I'm a smart man shut up I forget all right I've been busy doing hangover movies at Wigan underscore Stephen ask any doctors on here can I drink alcoholic substances while taking a rhythmic pen antibiotics hashtag doctor help hashtag doctors you know what actually that's a great question erythromycin which is what erythro pet is a trademark name for it can upset the stomach and also is metabolized in the liver so I would check with your doctors see exactly how much antibiotics are taken i generally discourage any taken any alcohol while on antibiotics because a lot of antibiotics are metabolized in the liver you don't want to like overload them with too much things that can be toxic to your liver all right they sing 14s what's the part of the brain that's going to deal with my emotional breakdown tomorrow a hashtag AP psych there's many parts your brain that's gonna be dealing with kind of stress to take a test so I wish you the best of luck and I know you'll do well alright that's do bunny ask if anyone has any ideas for how to do a science headache and pressure I'm open to hearing if it's been going on for weeks at a time I would actually consider antibiotics now I would consider going to your general practice doctor or even your nose throat doctor an ENT doctor to get treatment at dr. Claire Kane says help need emergency hiccup cure before clinic starts in approximately five minutes same scare Jim all right at lice the pits why is my eye twitching oh my god stop first of all probably stop using words like oh my god stop maybe get some more sleep drink less caffeine alright next at CD 101 I wan burp but why can't I I don't know I'm not your diaphragm at cbs- 540 my kidneys hurt it's drinking a lot of water a bad thing any doctors on here actually drinking too much water can lead to some problems I would actually go see a general practice doctor and get your sodium level check because you don't want to have too much hyponatremia anyway that's dr. support on dr. ken Jeong if dr.

GP WOOO WOOO!!

[u/Purple10tacle]

That was genuinely entertaining, funny and even a little insightful. Sadly his recent comedic ventures were none of that.

That guy has a light touch. Good video.

Bobby Lee Has an Accident Eating Spicy Wings Hot Ones	+1 - Relevant Bobby Lee Wingterview He's eating really hot wings so he's a bit volatile. Full video is a great mealtime video as well imo. I think Bobby Lee helped Ken start on his acting career, also, I remember seeing MadTV skits with both in them.
Bobby Lee	+1 - I remember seeing MadTV skits with both in them. Found one, and I am sure I've seen more. Ah, I didn't know I'd miss seeing Bobby and Ike on TV so much.

I'm a bot working hard to help Redditors find related videos to watch. I'll keep this updated as long as I can.
