Check out my reaction to Bojack Horseman: • DOCTOR REACTS TO BOJAC...
It's a Sin reviews: • DOCTOR REACTS TO IT'S ...
This analysis/doctor reacts video is long overdue. I'm finally watching This is Going to Hurt. I've found myself avoiding the show for a while, and wondering why that is. I think, a bit like It's a Sin, I'm worried it'll just feel too real and what emotions it'll bring out that I've buried from working as a junior doctor. Maybe watching it on here will be good for me? Who knows. One way to find out!

im 19 on my gap year, and got offers to do medicine next year at some top unis. I turned them all down. This show was a significant reason for that. I'd previously read the book, but the impact that the show itself had was phenomenal. It made me realise that that's not what I want from my life, and I truly appreciate the people who haven't quit like I have, I wish them all the best.
I live in Australia and I'm a nurse. One of my nurse friends is from the UK and I asked her about this show and she said "oh I can't watch that honey, I've already been traumatized by the NHS"
I love this show, and it is very aptly named.
It took me quite a few months to be in the right headspace for It’s a Sin. People kept telling me to watch it, but I knew, given the subject matter, that it was gonna break me so I put off until I was mentally prepared for it.
I work in pharmacy. I remember going from a community setting to hospital and thinking “this is going to be so wonderful! I’ll be working in a much more professional setting.” Hahaha I was so naïve.
I didn't last long in hospital pharmacy it was more physical than stated which normally wouldn't be a problem but as I'm due an operation it wasn't good for me. It was so busy though.
I absolutely loved this show! I'm so excited to see what you think. It is traumatic but very well done in my opinion.
Thank you for covering this amazing, yet gut-wrenching show. Hopefully you will stick around covering the show for us viewers for the whole series. I also hope you will give Big Boys, which I believe is another great show dealing with mental health, grieving and losses, a shot in the future.
Vague spoilers ahead
TW: grief and suicide
I watched this show when I quite frankly was not mentally prepared to do so and had no idea what I was getting myself into it - did not know how it ended or anything just thought it was a medical drama/comedy.
I literally watched the entire show beginning an hour after my best friends funeral who unfortunately took her own life. She was a first year doctor and so this show really lived up to its title - it hurt. As much as it hurt, as someone who finds it very hard to process emotions and feelings and tend to overanalyse things (I blame autism lmao), I also found it really helpful to wrap my head around what happened a bit and almost found it cathartic in an odd way.
Quite frankly I know a TH-cam comment section isn’t where to put this, but I have now 🤷♀️ (will also just shout into the void that I am seeing a psychologist and talking about my friend etc!)
This seems like it is going to address a lot of problems in the medical field. Is there anything we non-medical people can do to make the lives of doctors nurses and other medical professionals easier? Beyond the obvious of not getting sick.
There’s probably some fundraisers that help with it? A well known fundraiser is Doctors Without Borders. You can also do some research on your own time if you want to donate to something more specific.
Vote for people/political parties that will not defund/secretly privatise the NHS
@@seamstressdragon8707 yes!!
0:05 so what would be the psychiatrist's equivalent of a weird compliment, if there is one?
I'm a midwife and I remember enjoying the book (although lots of midwives don't like Adam Kay as the way he writes about women can be pretty misogynistic). I think he came across as pretty unlikeable in the show, but it also did a good job of showing what made him like that. I guess I do see things from a slightly different perspective to the docs, but whilst they got some bits really right, there was a lot that felt really unrealistic
Absolutely, though he at least seems to know that about himself during his time as a doctor, rather than normalising his own behaviour. Because he was a dick. In both the book and the show.
Im a radiographer and there was a lot that i was nodding along to as well, obviously not the same experiences but very very similar or things ive seen… this kind of culture sadly runs through the nhs like mould in bread. I cant remember adam kay ever really mentioning us in his book but if he had i’m sure he wouldnt be singing our praises either lol. I think i like the book because it very much nails the dark sense of humour you have to gain when you work these jobs
Please please do more of this show I’m a nurse and although not the same I still s found it painfully relatable ….and you are right it was so hard to watch….I’ve witnessed first hand doctors go through this and it’s heartbreaking at times
Yep, im a radiographer and same thing. Some things ive seen and too much of it I’ve experienced myself… the toxic culture of nhs working is all through it and its terrible that an organisation with such good and selfless goals could be so awful to its workers
I've never heard of this show before but I definitely liked your reaction to it. And yes, it hurts, because it portrays the flaws of the system pitylessly.
I'm not a doctor, but my sister is, and I saw and learned (a little. As I said, not a doc myself) through her how tough the job can be.
She also suggested I read "house of god", which I did and liked. I guess it lays in a similar category than this show.
All people who really go through all of this and are dedicated enough to be good and empathic doctors and other health care workers deserve my uttermost respect. I can just hope the system does not break too many self-sacrificing idealists out there. Because it sadly and understandibly does.
I've never heard of this show before! Interested to see what it's about. Personally it's hard for me to identify potentially triggering shows unfortunately. I went through a pretty traumatic event in recent years where a friend died very suddenly and unexpectedly in front of me, so character deaths are always a mixed bag. Sometimes it can be very graphic and brutal and I'm fine, sometimes it can be off screen but things from the aftermath can share chillingly similar circumstances and cause me to spiral (Steven Universe Future being a show for young kids had no business throwing me into a bad way and YET IT STILL DID)
I definitely don't think you're alone, if I had any indication about these things before watching the shows that mess me up I would certainly hesitate or put off or even avoid watching it. It seems a pretty natural stance to me!
My partner and I were a couple of episodes into Chernobyl before the pandemic and the first UK lockdown started and I just cannot finish watching it. Even though it is an excellent series, I cannot for my mental health watch it knowing how close we all were to being doomed :(
I had to stop watching Chernobyl after a couple of episodes, too. It was just too much for me.
@@crankycat3026it doesn't get any cheerier at 4 episodes in...
As someone who works within HR across two hospitals, this series really put things into perspective for me when it comes to the kind of day a colleague might have had. When I have an arsy Dr or Matron on the phone, I really can't make judgement, their jobs are gruelling ☹
I loved this show!! I spent 10 years working in Gynaecology ( about the time that tis is set)before becoming a Health Visitor. This show was brilliant. And massive shout out to the special FX the. Very realistic babies!
As a health care professional this show and book hit very close to home. A hard watch, but worthwhile.
Something I cannot bring myself to watch, following my mum’s passing, I can’t bring myself to watch Ricky Gervais’s After Life or the TH-cam series Sorry for your loss. The themes seem perfect but I’m too afraid something will trigger me. Despite watching six feet under years ago, cannot even think of watching it!
As a year 12 currently crying whilst preparing for the UCAT, this show has made me rethink my life choices 🙏
Thanks for reviewing that show, I was waiting for your input on this incredible TV show.
I may destroy you, a TV show written by Michaela Coel about her experience being a SA survivor is one of the hardest TV show I watched. It is beyond great but it's not an easy watch.
This show was great and I’ll never get over the ending… (Won’t say if its good or bad so I don’t spoil)
I really can't get over the ending too. I don't want to spoil it either, but let's just say... That is something I expected the least
The show I avoided was Netflix's "13 Reasons Why", about teen suicide. I didn't watch it until I had a good therapist and was scheduled for the next day.
Yeah I haven't seen it, I don't like the idea of a show dramatising such difficult concepts. Plus adults playing teenagers and the culture of teen shows generally expecting everyone to be much more mature than they are.
I didn't avoid watching it, but I remember how I was feeling while watching F is for Family season 3. I was feeling avoidant and at the same time very much hurt because one character reminded me my father
Yay I've been waiting for your reaction to this since I first watched the series. But I can totally see how it could be triggering for some doctors so take care of yourself! I've seen a few other doctors react to this series but they all left out the storylines about his personal life (coming out, problems in his relationships, etc) completely. So I'd be curious to see your take on that as well because I think it explains a lot about Adam's character and his behaviour at the hospital. I think his character is really interesting because he acts like a bit of a dick a lot of the time but you still understand and empathise with him!
I got distracted when I noticed your yellow Lego person is missing. Ha
This had some wonderful insight, thank you! I'd love to hear what you think about future episodes as well.
Where I live, there's a show called "Le Monstre" (The Monster) about the true story of a woman trapped in an abusive, violent and toxic relationship. Even though I've been out of my toxic relationship for more than 10 years, I'm not ready to watch it.
Are you going to film reactions to the other episodes too? I’d love to see that! I’ve just finished third year at med school and we had six weeks of O&G and six weeks of psych this year. I loved this show and I love your channel!
Been working myself up to watch March Comes in Like a Lion for years. It really hits home on how the main character's mental health and depression. It's good, but sometimes it's too much for me.
Really glad I didn't go into medicine for the status and my parents' approval cause I wouldn't be able to handle this kind of pressure. Also now I see why my mom (who's a nurse) would rather work at a clinic than the hospital (even though the clinic is burning her out because they're not hiring anymore nurses to save on money which makes it worse on her).
It's really scary the med field culture is, the fact you're overworked, the guilted into overworking or making a mistake (because you're tired from overworking) no wonder there's burnout. Wow, this reminds me of the reddit thread where people asked what's one thing about your profession that nobody knows, and a lot of it was this episode
What a coincidence, I finally watched this show last week after putting it off for months. It's excellent, but definitely stressful and gut-wrenching at times.
If this gets too hard for you, please make sure you're taking care of yourself first! If you need to stop watching the show at any point, do so. We can live without the entertainment we get from seeing your videos and learning about the craft, but you need to have the positive mental health far more. We appreciate whatever content you give us! We don't need to see more of the show if it impacts you negatively. There's always something else we can watch.
For me, Law and Order: SVU (used to be my favorite show) is difficult. I couldn’t watch it for several years, and I still have to skip some episodes. Would love to see your review of that one!
Yeah. That would be a difficult one. I find that difficult to get into due to it beginning in the ninties. Would love to see the reaction
Thank you so much for reacting to this ♥️ it is a hard watch and you really do need to gear yourself up for it, especially some of the later episodes I'm afraid - so if you need time between them that's okay!
watching you is helping me overcome my fear of doctors :)
Not a show...but I'm an autistic children's librarian who has long hated autistic portrayals in fiction so I am both really glad of Elle McNichol's A Kind of Spark...and have been nerving myself up to keep reading it for about two months with no success (yet).
I recommend it with the caveat that the more masking issues; subtle social alienations etc. affect you, the harder it is to read.
Yea I avoided my favorite anime for like 2 years bc I knew it was going to bring up memories and it did but it’s such a good story
Loved this! Hope to see more reactions to this show
Although I love detective and police shows, I avoid Monk and shows like it that depict OCD.
I watched the Scrubs episode with Michael J Fox and I thought it was well done, but there was a scene where he kept saying his name during conversations and the person watching with me started laughing and said, "That's like when you tap your head over and over again", (they thought it was a great joke). However, I will say when Michael J Fox does that speech while struggling with hand washing - that person then apologised for laughing earlier.
I’m hesitant to watch the show ”the good doctor” despite my friends recomending it. I work a lot with people on the autism spectrum. To me it is so annoying to watch the ”awkward super genius” when I know how much people on the spectrum struggle with so many other things such as executive functions, sorting among information or creating structure.
I do really like the good doctor. (Only seen s1 as that's all that was on prime). I have asd and I think it does do a good job at separating the fact that savant syndrome isn't common. It is obviously dramatised, and despite being not that old the wording can come across slightly outdated, I just like the group that works in the hospital, and they do a decent job expanding the side characters.
My triggering show (or in this case movie) is Don't Look Up. I suffer from climate change anxiety and even though everyone talked about how funny the film was, I just can't bring myself to watch it knowing what the subject matter is.
I struggle with this a lot too and a friend who knows how I get explicitly told me I should not watch it all.
Just finished this show. Shruti‘s arc totally broke my heart 😢
I haven't seen this show. I'm not sure if it's over here in the states. The main character just looks so tired and thin. Thanks for the review!
I think you are probably the more attractive Psychiatrist in the NHS ☺
most*
Loved the show and loved your comments!
i’ve been avoiding watching euphoria because while i love zendaya i’ve had my own life torn apart time and time again by other peoples addiction issues and it’s left me with severe childhood trauma so i know i won’t be able to sympathise with rue even though i should
This is the exact video I've been waiting for ❤️
I know you've mostly done shows, but I thought it would be really interesting to see a video on the 5th Harry Potter movie and struggling during your formative school-age years
I read the book that this show is based on, and it was fantastic. Funny, sad, informative - highly recommended.
i've been avoiding watching the new umbrella academy series tbh. Vanya's/Viktor's story is really close to home for me, as well as him being trans is also very close to home for me. i've been afraid that the writers wont do a good job with a trans character
Luther tries to throw Viktor a coming out party and Diego says “Luther wants to throw you a big stupid party so you feel loved”, “do you feel loved (viktor)”? Viktor looking like he’s on the verge of tears, “…Yes.” Diego finishes the conversation with “Good, you are.”. They respect Him and his pronouns throughout the entire season and immediately accept him, it’s a good season, if you want to watch it you should
I haven't seen it yet, but I've seen Jammidodger react to it and he was delighted.
The writers handled it wonderfully. After Viktor comes out, his family not only accepts him (he is instantly their brother and everyone is happy for him), but it is also perfectly obvious that Viktor feels at ease and so much happier than before.
Being in med school and one of the most poorly performing people when sleep deprived, this makes me really afraid of ever working in a hospital.
Classic Swiss cheese model. The error doesn’t happen in one place, it happens over and over and over in different places to cause an accident. Therefore, we have to build systems that are resilient and catch these errors before they happen
great reaction vid, Dr Carthy
Also on an off note. Over the past week since I found ur channel. You've become probably my favorite expert reacts channels. You and legaleagle. U seem Hella chill, and I'm lgbt. So having a fellow member of the alphabet soup is always fun
Interesting, gonna have a look at this show!
As for avoiding watching something, for me that has been the latest Joker movie. Gave me anxiety so I couldn't watch more than 15-20 minutes.
Shows I have avoided watching? Well, I have health anxiety, so for a good while it would basically be any show like this haha. Then I got a period where I became overly obsessed with them, now I'm at a pretty healthy point with them lol
Not a TV show, but the film We Were Children, is always a struggle to get through. Regarding your video comments, how can a system which is seemingly imbued with violence ever provide effective care? (Especially when there appears to be a cultural foundation of systemic and intergeneration violence).
Also, on your points about sleep deprivation, is sleep not considered a basic human right and therefore there needs to be alloted in scheduling?
Shows I have to avoid watching, because of how triggering it can be: the news. Honestly, if I can’t hear my news from a late-night comedian, I almost can’t hear it at all.
I have tried to watch Jessica Jones a few times, the marvel series on netflix, but because of the parallels with abusive relationships, where he literally can change your thoughts etc, it was super triggering to me. Which is odd because i have watch documentaries about serial killers or abusers and they obviously discuss very similar topics of like grooming etc which is basically the same techniques as in abusive relationships and i havent been anywhere near as triggered. Like i recognise the similarities but i dont react the same way.
But yeah, had to avoid that show even though it looked really good and had actors in that i like. Same with the show You. I havent even tried to watch that one because i think it would mess me up.
Adam Kay who wrote this used to do really funny music too.
I tried to watch 13 reasons why but I just couldn't. Both because it was very triggering to me at the time, and bc I felt it didn't portray suicide well. It felt like they dramatised/ romanticised suicide a lot
(My personal opinion. I know many agree with me, but many also love the show)
26 year old with a undefinable relationship with my father so watching anything that focuses on fatherhood and bonding is very hard for me in long bursts. Weirdly in video games I am les troubled by this so last of us, god of war (2018) and the walking dead grip me and help me; which feels weird since the TV shows are shorter length episodes and less focused on fatherhood. The go to example for me is watching Frasier I am a big sitcom guy and as fantastic a show as it is I struggle watching it for long periods now.
a placental whaaaaa? Yeah, I'm not cut out for this profession...lol
I continue to avoid watching Euphoria, I know it would trigger me and remind me of not so nice years of my life
Would love if you could review/react to greys anatomy and the resident obviously both American so it would be interesting to see a brits comparison and just in general loved both
I know I'm really late but yes I can not watch Golden Girls or I Love Lucy anymore, I was my mom's caregiver for years she had dementia bad and was really bad on the end she passed away 5 months ago I took it really hard, I can't hear what see Golden Girls or Lucy bc she watched those constantly and it depresses me to tears I miss her like crazy even though she's not suffering anymore stuff like those shows I have to stay away from
I stopped watching Grey’s Anatomy when they made the covid episodes. I’m an epidemiologist, I have friends who are immunocompromised, I have OCD… it was too much. The quality of that show has gone way downhill though, so not a big loss.
The only shows I avoid are ones with animal abuse for example I’ve never watched Don't F with Cats on Netflix because I’m worried that it will make me too sad
Quick comment to ask if you’ll respond to Bodies on Netflix, (as a non medic) I think it’s the best medical drama I’ve ever seen! I haven’t seen This is Going to Hurt and will watch your video later.
Blue Clues, I can't bare to watch that show. I'm not sure what it's going to bring.
There are several shows I've decided not to watch because I find them too triggering. I tend to avoid watching medical drama because I have a fear of most things related to hospitals and medicine - with the exception of mental health.. Weirdly enough, I seem to be able to watch people react to medical dramas as long as they don't go into too much detail. I totally understand the need to be in a specific head space before watching something that can be potentially triggering.
I couldn't get past the first episode of this. It triggered me and I'm not even a medic.
My Aunt worked as a coroner during the height of 13 Reasons Why. I am not allowed to ever watch that show
I don't think I avoid watching something because I'm afraid of how they've handled things, though if there's lgbtq characters, I may not watch if I hear that it was handled badly (like if the overall message is hateful and homophobic). However, I do sometimes avoid watching some really popular shows (also books) because it turns me off that everybody seems to like them. That's probably more to do with my distrust of - how can it appeal to everybody? So I may wait a few years after the hype goes away to look at it more objectively and/or see some other points of view. Sometimes, I will watch the show years after it stops airing and at other times I'll be like - nope, I'm glad I didn't waste my time getting invested in something that was a let down or similar.
You should react to Chuck from better call saul
I loved this show! you should do a reaction video for episodes 6/7..i don't want to spoiler but it would be interesting to know what do you think about Shruti's story, as a psychiatrist.
Look at Dexter season 1 episode 8 and diagnose Dexter and the manipulative therapist.
Is Adam (in real life) a real doctor, actor, comedian, or all three?
I can't never watch Euphoria
💖
Unnnnnhhhhh
Stopped watching by episode 3 gets less realistic I thought
I love the pride flag in the background
Hi all, I was one of those people who didn't really want to watch this series....
BUT man I'm glad I set it on record ..
Shame, I only had series 1/4,5,6,..
Now 1 want to catch up with 1/ 1-3
🤜🦘🇭🇲🦘🤛
